rupert, thank you.ake stock of what we are seeing here right now. this is the scene on sentosa island outside the capella hotel, the large white resort hotel, the luxury hotel, with a motorcade that's just pulling through. we understand that to be carrying the north korean leader, kimjong—un. there the delegation greeting him and they are expecting president kim to leave here now. there he is. walking through the doors of the capella hotel. here on the island of sentosa in singapore. looking very serious. not so much of the smiley face that we saw last night when he went on a walkabout in the town. the delegation making their way in. less than seven minutes to go until the official start of this historic summit. we will be interested to see whether or not we're going to get the same kind of shot of donald trump walking in, as wejust the same kind of shot of donald trump walking in, as we just didn't there with the north korean leader, into the doors of the hotel. as we heard from rupert wingfield—hayes

rupert: it was a real risk of a significant break down.r within the cabinet in the next month or also with europe. the u.k. of course has to come out not just with what it hopes the central arrangement will be but also a backstop and it is making no progress whatsoever with either. in terms of the max fax solution and the customs partnership, is they will not deliver frictionless trade and no border in northern ireland and that is because they deal with with tariffs and not- non-tariffs. betweene difference understanding, not understanding, and not caring. is there any way this gets turned around before march of next year or is a softening of brexit the only way that the u.k. at economy will be able to stay on the rails? u.k. civilization, in your view. do not view it as a softening of brexit that more of a realism. eu, you'renot in the not subject to the requirements. the ok remains fixated with the approach -- the u.k. remains fixated with a certain approach. if you do not reach agreement and you try to purchase a car from someone and yo

and we'll hear more from rupert in a few minutes' time.rbara plett—usher. this will be an extraordinary summit, because normally with summits there are talks and negotiations beforehand paving the way for the meeting between the leaders, but this is really so unpredictable. we really have no idea how that will go? gallery—mac gas, as you said, it is very unusual for this kind of a meeting —— gas, as you said, it is very unusual for this kind of a meeting -- yes, and as you said it is very unusual. diplomats at a lower level for both sides normally get together, find out what each side can offer, what they are willing to give up, putting together a communique, writing it down, pretty scripted, so that when the most of the difficult decisions. this is the other way around. it is the two leaders, mr trump and mr kim, who will be deciding how to proceed. will there be a breakthrough at the beginning? it seems unlikely. more likely, they will establish a relationship, start a process. that is at least what mr trump has been talking about, and s

we have lost rupert for now, we hope to get back to him just a little bit later.us. presumably he has been watching from seoul, along with lots of other south koreans, including the president himself, moon jae—in, south koreans, including the president himself, moonjae—in, who said he had a sleepless night last night because he's been so excited about this summit. robin, tell us a little bit about how the reception has been in seoul? we spend some time this morning with some business leaders here in seoul, they sat down and watched on their tvs as these two men met on sentosa island and shook hands. there was much applause from them as they watched the beginning of the meeting unfold. we've seen some images as well, still pictures at this moment, of president moonjae—in sharing a cabinet meeting this morning at 10am in seoul and they delayed the beginning so they could watch the handshake and there was miles on the president's face and on the faces of those around him. moonjae—in is the man who has brought these two men together basically. it was following his fir

fox's owner, rupert don't —— rupert murdoch, it is a better dealfor —— rupert murdoch, it is a better for you. one imagines —— rupert murdoch, it is a better dealfor you. one imagines disney will have to come back to the table and offer more, maybe some cash. theirs is an all stock merger with fox. it means the battle is not com plete fox. it means the battle is not complete and we do not know yet who will win, but somewhere there will bea will win, but somewhere there will be a new, huge player with a distributor and a content provider coming together. good to talk to you as always, kamal ahmed. the classic video game tetris has been a hit for more than three decades — but it's now heading in a new direction. i still play that on my phone on the tube on the way home! a veteran developer has reimagined the game in virtual reality. he's been speaking to our north america technology reporter dave lee. the music is kind of like a pulsating soundtrack that's getting gradually louder, i think. it's quite hard to hear with the convention, but i can imagine if you were sat at home in a nice,

also in the programme — the boss of audi, rupert stadler is arrested over the diesel emissions scandale of the world's largest orangutan populations is under threat because their habitat is being burnt in indonesia. it's 6am in singapore, 12am in london. pictures of children being held in cages along the us—mexican border have been shocking many people around the world. some 2,000 children, as young as 2 years old, have been separated from their parents in recent weeks as they tried to cross into the united states illegally. all this is the result of a white house policy to try to deter illegal immigration known as zero—tolerance. president trump blames the opposition democrats for splitting up families but insists america will not become a "migrant camp". nick bryant reports. children held in what look like cages. the trump administration's zero tolerance immigration policy being put into action at this detention centre in texas. it is not just the much wanted border wall that the administration will hope a cts that the administration will hope acts as a deterrent to those who cfoss a

the latest from rupert, who is near the hotel. what are you seeing?to the island of sentosa where the summit will be held. here comes donald trump. the presidential motorcade is behind me. the presidential limousine. two of them. heading to the capella hotel. we understand kim jong—un has heading to the capella hotel. we understand kimjong—un has not left his hotel. i can see pictures of his hotel, the st regis. huge security, closing down the roads while the convoy closing down the roads while the c0 nvoy goes closing down the roads while the convoy goes through. 50 minutes until the meeting. donald trump and kimjong—un, until the meeting. donald trump and kim jong—un, one—on—one, only until the meeting. donald trump and kimjong—un, one—on—one, only with translators for 45 minutes, starting at 9am local time, 50 minutes from 110w. at 9am local time, 50 minutes from now. then they will be joined for an expanded mission by officials until lunch and then they will hold lunch together at the same place as the meeting, the hotel. what is likely to happen

rupert: sure. i think restoration, identify that as being slightly different with emergency stabilization one half -- which happens to after the fire. i think in a lot of ways, it is location, location, location. there are many areas around the country where getting in there immediately, this is a local stakeholder driven need that i think we have here. we are immediately getting work on the ground and immediately getting trees replanted. that actually makes the most sense to get to a healthy state that is economically supported. there are other parts of the country where, quite frankly, we probably don't want to get in there immediately. because the conditions that will really lead to successful restoration may not be in place until later in the year are there are other parts of the after we have rain -- i mean, a holder ride he of different circumstances. so i think it sort of depends based on locations but there are many examples where the faster we can do it, the faster we can get in there, the

why not the top people they must have known and there was suspicion from the beginning also about rupert stolidly now it seems to be confirmed that at least the prosecutors have enough evidence to act on of course he's presumed guilty but people here see that it's a move that they've been expecting for a long time we told him of the mood. of the investors in frankfurt how the market where. the markets reacting by taking the v.w. share down didn't react sharply at the beginning but now the w. is in fact the biggest loser you know the minus is only three percent in this from a level which the volkswagen share had before the scandal broke and tanked right when the scandal broke but has since recovered because people still buy the cars and they're buying them in record numbers and the profit is is very high a volkswagen so the penalties that they're paying now seem to be fairly easily absorbable and you know with the rest of someone like rupert stubbs or new impetus to come to allegations against the company and court cases could become expensive again. question to both of you first heads ar

political correspondent rupert reader about rupert there are reports that child flying on america knew about the difficulties the refugee agency was facing was the situation here when what we have heard right now is that. knew about the overall situation at the office for migration and refugees but that doesn't mean that she actually knew about what was going on in bremen says we have to make quite clear here but what we can say is that what was going on in braman was only made possible by the overall situation in the whole office. funk you advise of the former head and president of this office said what he must must have said to do to the german newspaper a bit is that he already told on the medical several times that there are big problems within the agency problems more as everybody knew of everybody in germany knew that the agency was more well overwhelmed by the whole refugee issue and by the whole refugee crisis the reason why from cuban visor became president of this office was because the whole agency wasn't fit to tackle this toxic and he himself sit in one of the reports that

oh sure i mean rupert sadler was almost at the top of the company's not only c.e.o. of the but he sits on the executive board of volkswagen itself so call responsible for all the major decisions and he's been in the know for many years through top positions at once he was chief or c.e.o. fighting on p.s. one when he was on board there at the top and you know it just confirms many people suspicions here that i've talked to over the years since the scandal broke that it couldn't have just been a few middle range engineers acting on their own and acting up know this had to go to the top this knowledge of course nothing is proven yet rupert stock was among those who must be assumed innocent until they are proven guilty but it sure doesn't look good in the share today went down quite remarkably and the share of all is still above the level it was before the scandal tank than it recovered so the shareholders not really lowering their thumbs but showing themselves shocked that this development. in spoke what is the mood like among workers that. to be honest well it's not ve

rupert: this is a return to normal.ordinary event was treasury secretary mnuchin's statement based on very little deliverables from the chinese. i think that cut across a lot of people's views that this is going to be with us for some time. this is a strategic challenge for the u.s. and china. therefore going to go through a bumpy process. even if we eventually get to a negotiated outcome. mnuchin put that on hold. it is further complicated by the issue, i on the china think president trump has a lot of support from the u.s. and from allies. the steel and aluminum tariffs cut across that. that is going to make any kind of coalition difficult. francine: john, how difficult is it for the markets to price all this? john: i think pretty easy over the medium term. this is sort of chump change. if people think that markets are pretty complacent it is because the risk is not that material. on a day-to-day basis, it is almost impossible to price. the rhetoric is so inconsistent. of gettings is kind filed in the category of just

comcast makes a $65 billion hostile bid for rupert murdoch's entertainment business, setting up a biddingar with disney. also in business briefing, markets in asia are flagging as the federal reserve raises rates and signals two more rises this year. a warm welcome to the programme, briefing you on all you need to know in global news, business, and sport. and you can be part of the conversation. are you excited about the world cup and who do you think will win. tell us what you think. just use the hashtag bbc the briefing. seven and a half years after it was controversially awarded the football world cup, the tournament will officially kick off in the next few hours when the hosts russia will take on saudi arabia in moscow. the russian team is the lowest ranked team taking part in the tournament but after all the controversies off the pitch it's hoped events on the pitch will finally start to dominate. lucy hockings is there for us. live to moscow. as you said, the excitement, the anticipation, not long to wait now. when we arrived in moscow on the weekend, we were a little bit concerned

you put that lens around, you put around rupert is going to get what rupert wants in terms of this anyox wants i think will ultimately get approved, regulatory wise. if you look at vertical integration, almost none of this transaction is a vertical transaction. most of the rsns if they are acquired are not in comcast markets. we're talking net effects and global geo i don't think either party buying has a retail trust rick that's been a red hering >> julia boorstin has a question >> hi, rich. you said earlier you thought there was a company that made more sense for disney to buy than these fox assets. what is it and do you think there will be a land grab for a certain type of company or set of companies for whoever it does not get this deal >> right it's a great question of who does the loser buy someone has to lose unless there is the split the baby. i think in terms of what disney should look at obviously, if disney lost, brendan ross, my colleague, how can you not want to buy a video station? gameing is where the future s. it's hard to believe disney isn't buying activision. >> that

rupert, iwas bring in who is at the st regis hotel. rupert, i was watching some of the pictures.ecause these are the pictures that kim jong—un wants beaming back to north korea. that's right. i should just say that we have moved to the shangri—la just say that we have moved to the shangri— la now. just say that we have moved to the shangri—la now. we are waiting for president trump to arrive because he hasjust left the president trump to arrive because he has just left the airbase. he will be here in15 has just left the airbase. he will be here in 15 or 20 has just left the airbase. he will be here in 15 or20 minutes' time. we we re be here in 15 or20 minutes' time. we were at the st regis hotel all—day way kim jong—un is staying. it is very interesting that there is almost no information given to any of us about the north korean side. we didn't know what plain it was coming in or what time he was landing. we are outside the st regis hotel and we were all guessing. the biggest clue of all was two north korean cameramen in formal suits with badges of the old north korean leaders.

no official was given and the audi boss rupert stadler in custody one thing is clear. it is far from the end of the road for diesel gate. let's get more on this from our correspondent on ground. thanks for joining us. what are you hearing on the ground? how does this resonate with people here working there behind you? >> well, it is tense here and with the workers behind me out of the gates. i tried to talk to quite a lot of them but nobody really wants to speak to me and people are avoiding me by going on the other side of the road. i understand that because they are probably fed up that journalists like me have been pestering them for close to years around trying it talk it them and top executives like one right now who just drove past us can go by in their cool cars and don't have it talk to us. and they are responsible for it. >> you just mentioned nobody wants to talk about the situation and it is a bad monday for the company. what about the management? what do we expect from this situation with what is next after the audi boss is detained? >> that is quite hard t

exactly, it is almost an irony of the deal that there had been concerned about rupert murdoch gettingws could be closed and obviously matt hancock does not want that to happen, he wants them to continue in the name of plurality and he is keen to see the funding commitment over a long time so it continues to thrive. i don't know if you are a betting man but who do you think will come out of this with sky as their prize? i am very much not a betting man! but! as their prize? i am very much not a betting man! but i would say that comcast and disney are both deep pocketed us media companies and a lot of money will get thrown around here and it will be fascinating to watch. we will watch it in the coming months. thank you very much. time for a look at the weather. ben has the weather forecast. you have been looking at the maps. we are looking back first. we are five days intojune, i do like my stats were and we have had five days to crunch the numbers and some of the stats from the uk were pretty interesting looking back at may. this shows how daytime temperatures compared with the average

limelight but we'll see how it turns out he will probably be in that role until it's the cited that rupert stop there is out or he returns see after perhaps the judiciary decides that he has one thing going for m m m shot he's only been without he since last september so any wrongdoing i would do that goes back years he would have nothing to do with that from out of the clear conscience it seems that the investigations into the legal issues is making progress does not mean the whole diesel gates saga is nearing its resident resolution and that the v.w. board can can take a breather. i don't think either is the case the board can take a breather because it must fear further evidence for the resolution because of course incriminating evidence could become even more costly for the company in suing further court cases and of course the fact that the resolution is near depends on what rupert stadler says if the board of the family treats him well and . you know has his continuing pay and everything then he has no motive to incriminate people all by himself unless that you disagree really force

and of course rupert everett was born to play that role.e making me feel old with your choice this week. because we've all been talking about it in the newsroom and i'm surrounded by youngsters will of course were barely born when this came out. the piano is 25 years old it was winning three oscars it was up for a bunch of them. and here's the thing with the piano, it's clearly a brilliant piece of work. it has inspired a huge amount of thought about its form and what it means. but when i first saw it i didn't like it as much as i admired it and one of the reasons i'm glad it's been reissued is ongoing to see it projected on the big screen. because i think in order to fully appreciate it you need to see it projected so it's back on the big screen and i'll go see it monday of next week and see whether over the 25 years since it's been out i've grown up enough to think it's not just been out i've grown up enough to think it's notjust what i like it as well. i'm interested to see i remember it being a hard film and thinking he was beautiful an

that yes to that and that's the whole idea of what is going to help them at the weekend all right rupert our political correspondent thank you for your analysis you know what now the turkish government has refused to refused to allow a member of the german parliament to enter the country as an observer for this weekend's election andre home go one member of the german left party intended to travel to turkey to represent the organization for security and cooperation in europe who go it previously condemned last year's constitutional referendum in turkey as unfair the turkish government has accused them of sympathizing with the outlawed p k k party. all it took was his signature u.s. president donald trump insisted he was powerless to stop the separation of immigrant families at the country's southern border but he has now issued an executive order to reverse course trump's move means families entering the u.s. illegally will now be detained together it is a rare policy retreat for the u.s. president following days of public outrage. you could have a lot of happy people it was that easy pr

and audi situation and people here say rupert's toddler as c.e.o. of audi volkswagen has to take consequences and remove him from that post he can't stay with but this development now not only i mean given given the way to all the german car industry when it comes to to the might of the german economy how are investors handling all this today. investors are handling it as one might assume they're there alarmed and the volkswagen share is going down it's going down further the further trading goes the further this news is sinking in and it's also going down because i'm liz also at issue so far it's not a freefall it's not a tumble but there are fears of course that this will this development will not only cost rupert stopper his jobs but will result perhaps in testimony that will incriminate other executives and will give the way to claims of damage or of being informed too late as a stockholder and this could cost v.w. for example further amounts of money perhaps lots of money it is a question to both of you perhaps i mean i mean korea certainly is

rupert stadler is the highest ranking official in the vw group to be detained for questioning.of the whole diesel emissions scandal. vw as a whole have sold and admitted to having sold 11 million vehicles fitted with so—called cheating software, the software that made cars seem a cleaner in testing than they were in reality when sent out on the road. the allegations around rupert stadler who is ceo of audi, one of the brands within the vw group, revolved around an e—mail back in 2015. this e—mail allegedly proves that mr stadler may have known about the cheating software and still let the cars be manufactured and sold. if this is true, that would be fraud and charges could well be made. right now, though, mr stadler is still nowjust being questioned and the rest of the vw group are in crisis talks. on the one hand, they're trying to sort out the leadership in general and trying to figure out where to go next at this next stage of the whole diesel emissions crisis. also, though, to find an interim leader, a backup boss who can step in that while mr stadler is being investigated.

original originally made a prior bid which was rejected by rupert murdoch.k about.portant point to they make the point in this press release, they say that 70% of 21st century fox's assets or revenue, rather, are outside of the united states. that's an important point because it's a signal to washington and a signal to investors that they think that this deal would not be blocked of course, one of the main reasons that rupt murdoch took the original disney offer which was lower than the comcast offer was becae of concerns that this transaction would be blocked and the fact that mcast did not have a reverse breakup fee on the table at the time, by the way, we should say that the comcast bid that was rejected was an all-stock bid. this is an all-cash bid. this does not require the vote of shareholders. and al day, we have watched the disney stock and comcast stock and 21st century stock move around. lots of questions about what shareholders are trying to say in all of this the fact that disney stock did not go down today actually raised some questions about wh

rupert, thank you very much. on sentosa, the island playing host to this historic summit.han it was at 4am this morning. listening to rupert there, we cannot underplay the significance of how a major shift this has formed in the regime. sure, the idea of that north korea has been centred on andi that north korea has been centred on and i am american is in, they blame united states for the war and the bombing, which was severe. we did tell what people. so now this is really going to be a breakthrough, they will have to turn the ship and thatis they will have to turn the ship and that is something remarkable. i am wondering how they are going to do that. we have spoken a lot over the last few days about what promises might be made here and who gives up what. we will talk about that in a moment but i wanted to ask you first, i covered the death of kim jong ill in december 2011 and there was a sense, the people i was interviewing at the time that something might change here and then nothing did for the six years that preceded and we have the status quo being maintained by his

fox hunted: comcast makes a $65 billion hostile bid for rupert murdoch's entertainment business — settingp a bidding war with disney. plus in great shape: the federal reserve hails a booming us economy. it raises interest rates — and signals two more increases this year. was enough to not financial markets in asia. you can see these markets down as asia weighs up more movement from the fed and its hawkish position. so once again we start in the us — with a massive hostile takeover bid for rupert murdoch's fox entertainment business. late on wednesday the world's biggest cable tv company comcast made an unsolicited $65 billion offerfor fox. the move is a direct challenge to rival media giant disney — which had already agreed to buy fox for $52 billion in shares. as paul blake reports from new york, they are both battling to adapt to our changing viewing habits. this $65 billion mega deal would see the merge of some of the world's biggest television and movie brands and it's the first attempt of many to merge content with distribution. many viewers are ditching traditional services for onli

rupert, thank you.coast wa kes rajini vaidyanathan, as the east coast wakes up, what are people saying? on conventional diplomacy got us here, but the question is, where will that unconventional diplomacy take the process going forward ? diplomacy take the process going forward? washington is waking up to headlines asking, has president trump given up too much too soon? if it was a high—stakes game of poker, has donald trump shown his hand way too early in the process? before that summit in singapore, politicians from both sides of the aisle were concerned that withdrawing troops could send the wrong signal, and would be a big mistake. so it's likely those same members of congress are concerned that president trump's willingness to withdraw those military exercises. and the other concern here in washington, the fact president trump extended an invite to kimjong—un to president trump extended an invite to kim jong—un to come here to washington, dc. many people in washington, dc. many people in washington

billion as long as sky news is the vested, a crucial victory for rupert mart act -- rupert murdoch.res have been traabove te and comcast, which suggested there was more to come. is there more to come? will fox raise it bid for sky? think they will. that is the expectation the market has, and the path to that clears now. fox will likely be able to buy sky. i think we will see the improvement from fox and the bidding war starts. mark: the comcast offer is 50% higher than the sky offer. who is favored? joe: i think comcast is probably favored at the moment. perhaps has comcast more firepower than fox, bigger market capitalization. sky anding listed by might be more popular than comcast. vonnie: how might the thinking be going in both boardrooms? joe: that is exactly the question, how badly does rupert murdoch want to beat comcast to sky? how bad does bob iger one sky? he is likely to have influence over the amount to buy sky. ceon robertson, the comcast has to decide how he wants to bid on sky. vonnie: what do analysts feel with the best for the assets? would it be a comcast roof or a

as you say, rupert, an extraordinary meeting.ld go both ways. in terms of outcomes, what are people saying? well, we have the optimists and we have the sceptics. they're sort of equally divided. there are many, like karishma was saying to you before, they say that, look, this is a chance to undo a conflict that has lasted for six decades. it needs to be given a chance, there needs to be trust built. it's going to be a long process. this is just trust built. it's going to be a long process. this isjust the beginning. even donald trump and his advisers are now hinting at that as well, saying this is not going to be all donein saying this is not going to be all done in one day, this is the start ofa done in one day, this is the start of a long process. the sceptics, and there are many of them too, they say, hang on a sec, donald trump said this was an all or nothing, we're not coming to be drawn into a long process because that's how north korea has pulled us before but that's the process he now seems to be entering. the sceptics ar

or should i mean rupert sadler was almost at the top of the company's not only a c.e.o. of the but he sits on the executive board of volkswagen itself so responsible for all the major decisions and he's been in the know for many years through top positions at once he was chief or c.e.o. fighting on here when when he was on board there at the top and you know it just confirms many people suspicions here that i've talked to over the years since the scandal broke that it couldn't have just been a few middle range engineers acting on their own and acting up know this had to go to the top this knowledge of course nothing is proven yet who could stop was among those who must be assumed innocent until they are proven guilty but it sure doesn't look good in the share today went down quite remarkably and the share although is still above the level of the. as before the scandal bennett recovered so the shareholders not really lowering their thumbs but showing themselves shocked at this development. in spoke what is the mood like among workers that. to be honest well it's not very

but it's long been argued that media moguls i know your one is very british i suppose for the mail rupert murdoch took british citizenship i think had to take changes citizenship to me if george soros took british citizenship and you can now buy entry into britain who knows then it will be all right i don't understand a bogus point about foreign tycoons only newspapers the times and sunday times and the sun by rupert murdoch two of those titles backed one didn't the times all the taxes are paid. in britain denouements taxes are a public company listed on stock exchange menace under all the taxes paid in britain where dishonest pays taxes sadly not hex if they were prepared to reduce the national debt by half ok why bring him into it at all corporate advertising budgets procter and gamble tens of billions samsung nine point nine nestle l'oreal these are the big advertisers multibillion dollar campaign to yourselves said it's bound to backfire we use of all of this money so why is it important that they will team out they revealed to they revealed he was bankrolling this new organization be

i don't know if rupert murdoch comes with the deal.ou get him when you come in it will be tough for disney to compete with it in terms of money and power to do it that said, rupert murdoch is the one who benefits here, most of all. essentially, people are bidding to make him richer than ever. >> that's right, and that is a huge premium not just in the 20% but all cash don't forget why fox is selling. it doesn't like the future now you're rinsed of any responsibility for the future. you take the cash. you're done. so, it's a huge premium. i assume disney has a tough time matching that. >> yeah. because he would have to own pieces of disney and if he wants to stay in the entertainment business but you take all that money and he's focused on his tv station and fox news and things like that. >> and the other thing that's very interesting here is the bet that murdoch is making is exactly strategically the right bet about the future of television and media, which is if you look at what will sustain itself in linear television, it is news and

i think it's a major blow for volkswagen for audi of course rupert stock has been in top positions there for years as c.e.o. before that he was finance chief and before that he was chief of the general secretary at that is chief of staff basically to the volkswagen c.e.o. so he's been in the know for years and years and the porsche ph family that basically owns the majority of volkswagen is very close to starter has prevented that with all the allegations that were already there up to this point that he was released from his post of course having said all that one has to presume also for rupert stopper that he is innocent until proven guilty in a court of law but it does not look good for him now with the prosecutors taking that step of actually arresting him for fear of danger of concealment that is perhaps the fear that he can influence others into not giving evidence that they should. it doesn't look good for him and for folks like in terms of the presumed innocent is that's how investors are seeing it how do they react. well i think they're saying he's guilty because the share is goi

but rupert murdoch was to align itself to disney. hard cash speaks volumes.nt over and above the paper deal, receiving shares, disney is so substantial it would be hard for fox not to say we're going to change our mind and run with comcast. but i think there's a broader issue in all of this, interesting, the netflix share price was at yesterday. many people had assumed that the netflix shares would go down because the integration between the manufacturers of content as distributors would make them much more competitive against netflix. the market is saying, no, netflix remains number one in terms of content on hbo is a distant second and everybody else is nowhere. despite game of thrones! that's right. netflix coming on the scene, that's the whole point, all those yea rs that's the whole point, all those years ago, it was a massive disruptor. and years ago, it was a massive disru ptor. and it's years ago, it was a massive disruptor. and it's very hard for all these older, old school organisations to try and re—establish themselves, re—emerge in whatever they

liz: but the largest shareholder which would be rupert murdoch which of course is the chairman. >> the murdock family trust i think in mr. murdock's mind he wants to be the largest shareholder in disney and he sees upside going forward so disney is not going to try to beat the comcast offer but they're going to have to raise their bid, because the market, this is saying, you can not go with the disney bids as it stands. liz: there are multiple ways to raise a bid. you can add cash. >> right. liz: you could make it more stock. you can also promise to divest of certain things to make it more regulatory tasteful. >> well both comcast and disney have agreed, because they are a little bit still about the justice department intervention so they said the 21 fox regional sports networks both sides are happy to divest them. liz: but they get the regional sports networks in the deal, but -- >> but they're going to sell them. liz: and disney has espn but they say we'll get rid of those if you want us to. >> liz the key to this deal with comcast, fox, and disney, is the out of town try-out that's

rupert: yes. size, , ofre, long-term future travel is very strong, particularly where we fit. hong kong is the largest international hub. it's the word largest in the world. the demand is strong. we are uniquely well-placed because we can get to both coasts of the u.s. nonstop and are well positioned for the southwest pacific and europe as well. we intend to keep growing. launched nine new destinations this year. decade, we did 10 long-haul destinations. you can see pace at which we are growing. launching washington in september, and we are going to do a seasonal service this winter. looking forward, we have got a new aircraft coming one a month now until the third runway opens in late 2024 in hong kong, and that of course again gives us great opportunity for expansion. the final point i have made in terms of growth is that not only is hong kong a great hub, but it is a great gateway. increasingly, the airport are becoming a multi-modal hub. we have services that check in and check out -- at check

rupert, the folks blm and for service, are they cotingn the effort?>> there has been active, ongoing coordination to come up with consistent approaches. blm as well and the process. they are very close to releasing an rmation memorandum. it will reinforcesideboards, timelines, and expectations fo implemtation. gd! there has been discussion with regards to the unmanned aerial systems. how does doi and the ceof ldfi te with forest service in terms of the drone program? do you operate them separately? is there some level of communication or coordination that goes on with these assets?>> i will start. in interior, you -- drone operations are not strictly wildfire. the majority of the drone missions that are flown are resource missions. these are surveys. in the case of wildfire, we have a fleet approaching 500 drones. we have several hundred certified operatorny of the ata wildland fire incident. as the coordination occurs with the wildfire focus similar in terms of establishing the standards that allow us to go into these incidences so we know we have ce

mister rupert, welcome to you. we are here to discuss the 2018 wildfire season. based on what we already know today, it doesn't look good. last friday the national agency fire center which is a joint operation between the department of interior and u.s. forest service released to their monthly fire potential outlook for june through september. warmer and drier than average conditions are anticipated in the southwest in particular is at very high risks for wildfire due to elevated drought condition and strong gusts. the fire sparked on april 27 in arizona marked the first wildfire of the season. there are several significant active fires in the west including massive blazes in colorado and new mexico. almost 24,000 wildfires have burned about 1.7 million acres across the country. this is just june 5. the number of wildfires and acres that ultimately burn in 2018 depends not only on wildfires potentially enforced conditions but on the timing of lightning strikes and human caused admission. nationwide people are responsible for 84 % of wildfires. and by starting so

>> i'd like to give rupert murdoch credit for creating this bidding war.s, he genuinely wanted to merge with disney he liked the idea of owning a major part of that company i think there was an opportunity early on at least in the minds of the murdochs for james to take a role at that company. i think there were a lot of reasons they were doing that i don't think they were doing it to get this bidding war going. having said that, i think he played his cards particularly well in this instance. one comment that's worth noting in terms of how as we look at the release just now, there's a collar on the stock part of this deal which -- >> we mentioned that >> -- now creates -- it effectively means that the disney shares become the equivalent of cash i think that's a very important component of this. because one of the big issues, of course, throughout this has been assuming that comcast comes back with more cash, are you better off with the disney stock? is the disney stock potentially worth less in the future by putting that collar on it, i think that takes th
