in manchester, this again comes to the fore. o people about an asymmetric fight, it is not a binary position but it is on many fronts and the internet is unfathomably deep. no surprise to me this is a focus. and that prime minister theresa may is leading on that. what power we have two make these social media companies take a stronger stance is unclear. the other angle is freedom of speech. when do you draw the line? it is a thorny issue and it is not going to go anywhere soon. we we re not going to go anywhere soon. we were talking early in the week, the lea k of were talking early in the week, the leak of the guardian, the facebook files, talking about the feasibility of examining this material. how do you get enough people to sift through this vast quantity and to react quickly enough. the algorithms that facebook and others are using the target you with advertising are very precise and it beggars the question that must be something that can be done. but it is always such a dangerous thing to say. the issue of manchester undou

sector as to whether that desire for the corporate is to constantly renew their hardware is still to the foreou are looking at surveys that have been done of late across the 0ecd there is a typically across the 0ecd there is a typically a desire on the part of purchasing managers do not upgrade or not roll over their infrastructure as quickly as they have done in the past, so i think this could be a trend we need to watch out for. speaking of purchasing managers we have the chinese purchasing managers index due later this week and last week was the first time we saw moody ‘s downgrading the country's credit rating since 1989. china's finance ministry said moody ‘s was exaggerating the economic difficulties. do you think they work? you might expect them to say that the china is on holiday along with the us and the uk and with the debt to gdp and china of 300%, i think it is not particularly surprising, but maybe in the sense that it's taken so long for this downgrade to come and it was all so interesting that hong kong was caught up in the mix with its rating downgraded but will it outlook rai

my generation and i believe it's important therefore that the irish priorities are very much to the foree context of these negotiations. you're right about our trade. we are very much reliant on our neighbours in terms of our agri—food and beverage business, in particular. ireland, over the centuries, has been the bread basket or the main food supplier of great britain. but we haven't had all of our eggs in one basket. our membership of the eu has ensured that we have diversified in terms of our markets. and while you speak very highly about our trade relationship with britain, our trade relationship with our european colleagues is twice that of the uk. but that's not to say i'm by no means underscoring or underplaying our relationship with britain. no, and this is what you said recently. you said, on brexit, resolving irish issues is absolutely crucial and the eu and the uk must show real and positive goodwill because, this is the key phrase, no deal, you said, is not an option. idid. but patently no deal is an option, because theresa may has told us that she would rather walk away with

those who gave evidence, and they were given brown envelopes, have come to the fore. ers will equally be tested going forward in the judicial commission of inquiry that has to be established. that report equally is a matter of contestation. in terms of our laws... minister, minister, minister, you're minister for police, so i know you regard procedure as very important. i am really asking you a question about procedure which you are continuing to ignore. cyril ramaphosa, the deputy president, has said that this story of brown envelopes of cash being offered to politicians, "it has basically become a problem," he says, "for us in the ruling party, it is critical that these allegations of state capture be tested and put to rest because they are, for us in the anc, the elephant in the room." so, this is a question of procedure, whether you are prepared to countenance an independent judicial inquiry. are you or are you not? none of us in the anc have contested that, and none of us are complicit in the corruption. cyril ramaphosa, the deputy president, is articulating a pri

repeat, you made the point that donald trump gets the credit in his first 100 days for brings this to the fore. but i've seen this signs, you've seen these signs everywhere, this protests. resist. if there's one word that the left or democrats are using right now, it is resist. i'm a resister. all all for resisting what i don't like. i'm all for fighting for those things that i believe in. but i also understand that resist is just a part of citizenship. what's the flip side of that coin? >> it is create. >> okay. resist and create. >> look, i think the reality is it is always easier to mobilize in a negative and resist is easier than saying to get people together around an affirmative agenda. but you can't sustain on resist alone. that the idea of citizenship in the trump era has to be about creating an affirmative sense and story that people want to be a part of. and that story isn't just about demeanors on the left. i think there's a moment right now where you've got people in cross etiological ways saying that donald trump and his election is a symbol of a deeper illness in the body of poli

the economy will start to come to the fore now in this election. id that above all i will take care of job creation. so the missile system and north korea are the big consideration and within south korea, it is domestic, the economy thatis korea, it is domestic, the economy that is getting people going. and he was elected on this, really. he said he would create 810,000 public sector jobs he would create 810,000 public sectorjobs and get the economy going faster, particularly for young people. that is what they will now look at him and say, ok, you made these promises, made a lovely speech, what will you do? indeed the use unemployment rate is high in south korea, in the high double digits and there is also promise of reforms in the conglomerates. what he has promised there, everybody says more transparency, but what he wa nts to says more transparency, but what he wants to do is give minority shareholders much more power. he had a situation with samsung, for example, last year where there was a minority shareholder that was pushing through, trying

many other things, if you want scotland's voice to be heard, if you want scotland's interest to the foretamp whatever theresa may wants, the only way to secure that is to vote snp. you complain that powers being sent back to london from brussels might not be passed on to edinburgh, but under your plan, any return of powers to edinburgh, you will then send back to brussels. it's a nonsensical grievance. these are issues that the people of scotland will scrutinise and debate if we are in another independence referendum. i believe scotland as an independent member state of the eu would have a much greater voice than we've had as a part of the uk over the years. theresa may is the one who wants to pursue brexit and wants to pursue a hard brexit. if that's what she's doing, then to use that as a process to centralise power in the uk, or, in areas that are under the scotland act devolved to the scottish parliament, i do think that would be unacceptable. but you would then send them back? if we were in the eu, we would continue to cooperate on these things. then you would have to send them back

haidi: this is your coming to the fore earlier, president moon speaking about this. ere were low volumes in wall street. it was the lowest of the year, no positions being taken ahead of the long week. in asia that will trickle through as well with chinese markets closed. it looks like a bit of a light session in asia. let's look at the markets trading at the moment. new zealand, the morning is underway. futures in australia looking to edge higher, but a pretty light section -- session expected, the aussie dollar pretty much unchanged. let's take a look at commodities. markets have been pretty sanguine, with all of the notes out of pyongyang. so that may weigh more, rebounding with considerations posed opec decision, overdone. $57 aee brent saying barrel, normalization. this is taking into account noncompliance if you will. we are seeing the slide in iron comes tout they commodities. china pmi coming out on wednesday and the other gauge on thursday. let's get you caught up to date with first word news with haslinda amin in singapore. north korea has fired another missi

but obviously, terrorism came to the fore because of the manchester attacks.heresa may came here with an agenda. she wants internet and social media companies like google and facebook to start using an algorithm that could block certain content from people or certain messages. and also figure out who is sending extremist content, stop them from putting it on the internet and maybe flag them so the police would be more easily able to find or follow them. she came away from here with an agreement that not only is in the communique but has its own separate communique where all seven leaders pledged to get together not only fight terrorism but clamp down on the internet to do so. caroline: fascinating. they say they will have an industry-lead form going forward to work together on the issues. theresa may saying this is a big step forward. let's talk about some of the broader viewpoints. we know how much the u.k. has been focusing on this and the internet companies. the question is how much the internet companies respond to this. i want to get your take on other ke

that are now taking a back burner because this so far nonexistent russian collusion matter is to the fores the forefront. so, if you have personal counsel, where he can forward all the e-mails to him and give all the discussion to him and all the talking points to him, all the better for the rest of us. >> shannon: mean time we know the senate intelligence committee continues its investigation into russia. there are multiple investigations, but that one in particular, they have subpoenaed former national security adviser, general michael flynn. he said basically through his attorneys, no thank you. now they subpoenaed two of his businesses. they say your businesses cannot take this hit. they are determined to get those documents. >> they are. if it's a valid subpoena, they'll likely get the documents. the way i look at it through my attorney eyes, we have congress trying to prove that somebody committed a murder without having any evidence whatsoever that somebody's dead. so here again if you want to find out if russia colluded with anybody, you should be handing out get out of jail cards

and that could violate criminal laws but the would-be and has been a violation of the right of the speaker fore someone who invited the speaker. >> those who are struggling w on a college campus. >> first i express my i said that the. as the last one was indicated but it's with advice to present that once they start down the road youanna cannot make it entirely one-sided those students that invite a ann coulter to speed the university that allows them you cannot make political distinctions.ot do or content distinctions.llow or for those outsiders to come here to speak it would be constitutional so once you start down the road that basically we have an open forum to allow them another mechanism so then as a generality no democratic or republican line it means it applies to everyone just the same. >> i believe freedom of speech that there is so much paranoia in our culture it is not practice to the degree that it could be but for the general public. >> what would work better?. >> i'll think on paper and a think anything could more beautiful than our constitution and amendments but cultural psycho

always policy and politics at the fore. this is playing out in the bond market.are the implications? kathleen: i am glad you mentioned the politics in washington. one of the reasons we are seeing the turnaround of the bond market is one big perspective. it has been trump turmoil, rethinking what can be done on the fiscal side. we get this budget announcement for big cut in spending to pay for big cuts in taxes. will this make it through congress? the bond market and said will wait to see on that very important story. but for now, what has happened is hedge funds and speculators, according to the net longs and shorts in 10 year treasury futures, have had a big change. look at #8672. terrific chart. see that big chunk of downward red? that points to the biggest net short position in 10 year treasury futures on record. that is how bearish the bond market got with all the talk of trump succeeding with the reflation trade and the fed hiking rates. look at the green at the upper right-hand side. now, the net longs are at a 10 year high, the longest since -- 2007.ghest

as michael was saying patriotism, american patriotism, came to the fore largely in that ethnic group. >> the famous song of course, written by george m. cohen. >> in terms of the implications for today, you have heard talk about our special relationship with great britain. in many ways, this begins, comes out of world war i. we take it for granted across the 20th century american history, but the irish were no friend of the british throughout all of the 19th century and american history and of course britain was our great enemy during the revolution. this was not an automatic thing. this special relationship with written. it was forged during world war i. time for maybe one or two more. finally the government desegregated? [laughter] >> it was gradual. a grad student wrote a dissertation partly about this. not finally until 1940's, 1950's. president harry truman had a commission which calls for it to be desegregated. it was part of the desegregation wave of the federal government in the 1940's and 1950's and make 60's. >> i had a grad student who wrote a dissertation also. although tr

marketing is an area where that is coming more to the fore. ally put people out of jobs. how do you deal with that? >> i have been very involved in the data analytics area or a long time -- for a long time. in 2008, i started thinking a lot about this and how a marketing department of 10 becomes a marketing department and you get better answers through the massive amount of data and analytics. we are still in the early stages of that. but that is going to come on extremely quickly. those eight jobs in marketing were good middle-class jobs. those are disappearing. however, data and analytics, there will be an aspect of business, government, or the not-for-profit world that will not be driven by data and analytics as we move forward. as a result, so many jobs with data and analytics skills will be created. it may be one of the greatest job creations in this country. >> who will pay for all this training? >> what i have been working on is the idea of searching for the solutions. to be very honest with you, my view is solutions are largely at the l

what we have seen in politics is intergenerational issues coming to the fore. pay for that own care, whether they should use their housing wealth to pay for it. these are questions of intergenerational fairness and that is engaging young people. how much do political parties tend to focus on different demographics and think, we need something for these people and something for those? how much is it on their minds question of young people could come and vote but traditionally do not.|j people could come and vote but traditionally do not. i havejust read all the manifestos, the ones that are published. that is not the most gripping thing. they use language of intergenerational fairness, concerned about doing this for the next generation. they are divided about what they think is fair. they are reluctant to highlight differences of intergenerational interest. jeremy corbyn suggested there is a risk of creating an intergenerational war. really there are differences with economic interests. that does not require generations to fight it out. it does require a decisio

face to face, they are two steps backwards because the whole issue of russia and collusion comes to the foreamerican political arena. it's deeply frustrating here. >> matthew, to be fair to the trump white house, they off the record or on background rather expressed -- they were furious that they were aplarntly tricked by the russian photographer who also worked for tass state media, took pictures of president trump's meeting with sergei lavrov and the russian ambassador to the u.s. who has been a big part that controversy. how is that playing in moscow? >> well, i mean, it's not being taken seriously at all. for a start, the russian photographer himself has put out statements saying, look, as far as i'm concerned, this was just a normal official shoot of the kind i've been doing for years. it's also been ridiculed, the foreign ministry spokeswoman here from the russian foreign ministry issued a scathing facebook post saying, you know, what would have happened if we hadn't broadcast or put those images on the internet? we would have been accused of having secret evidence of trump colluding w

these are important issues that he brought to the fore. the best place is for him to face extradition to the united states and fight it. yes, that's a decision for himself. if you look... do you think he would consider that? i think if he thought that he would be treated fairly. the americans have been putting a lot of whistle—blowers in prison recently. i think donald trump's been pretty unstable, at one point he's cheered julian and now at other points he's been rather rude. it's very unclear that he will be treated fairly in america. interestingly, chelsea manning who of course was the person who provided — he was a whistle—blower behind much of what assange was known to have put out has been released by 0bama. i think if he had guarantees, i have never thought that julian was if he had guarantees, i have never thought thatjulian was afraid of the argument. vaughan smith, thank you very much for your time. london city airport is set to become the first in the uk to replace its air traffic controllers with a digital system operated from m

obviously when there's an unpopular president as there is in the white house, people will come to the foreery crowded field from the democrats. i hope they learn from some of the important lessons from 2016, like have a message, you know. at least we're not crazy didn't work, and i think you need something more. >> you said on your show that liberals need to stop trying to win over trump voters with facts so what should democrats do to win over trump voters sns. >> well, a bit of it should ease up on the identity politics. they pulled off quite a neat trick. they made white people who are still the majority in this country feel like a minority or at least enough of them to swing the election. i think that's important. that's like she represents everybody including the majority. go where the energy is. hillary is a lovely lady and couldn't fill the function room at the olive garden and there was trump getting thousands to come to see him. rallies matter and it shows what people want. she was not a great candidate it. i think she acknowledges that herself. having said that, what i'm going to

holiday inn, television, xerox, all of these kinds of our entrepreneurs come to the fore after world war ii and we see a tremendous growth. one of the most exciting statistics is we have 39 million people employed civilian employment, nonmilitary. that goes up to 55 million. the stock market increased by 20% in 1946. private gross national product increased 30%, the only time it had done that in history. and further, the experts were estimating i think we will get $31 million into the federal treasury and 1946, 1947. we have 31 billion. increasing more than 25% because the economy had expanded so much more than people expected. the result is 3.9% unemployment in 1946 and the united states 1947. has the burgeoning growth rate , and when europe who is trying , to the keynesian means to get back on their feet, when they are failing, the united states is able to send tons and tons of food over to feed the europeans who at different points were dying at the rate of one per second. those deaths were curtailed by the free food the united states and over after the war. we sent that food, the

economy we higher interest rates when we see concerned about the consumer coming back to the fore. mark: i definitely think it cannot the moment. a short-term rise will not have too much of a detrimental impact. monetary conditions in the u.s. accommodative still. a small hike is definitely what we can cope with. whether we can cope with a sustained hiking cycle is another matter. it should be assumed the june height will go ahead and we will need a serious downturn in data to really derail that. inflation data will be watched today. no one should be pricing out june anytime soon. yellen isatt: janet here. we saw her come out of the hotel last night. it will be interesting to see if she sits with steve mnuchin, and how those two get along. do you expect the imagination to have any influence on said policy?i know they got guard their independence usually. mark: obviously, they are not meant to have any influence. i think that will be the official line. when of the big things that is adjusting thing about this last year was that trump was quite critical of janet yellen on the campaign

these issues are coming to the fore, people are demanding special prosecutors. but this is really an issue about protecting our democracy that independents, democrats, i hope republicans are asking for some accountability. the truth is that director comey wrote a memo which he shared with colleagues at the time that it occurred. i find it ridiculous that republicans are saying he should have told us in open meetings about this. when the truth of this whole situation is that there seems to have been a big effort or some effort to lean on the director. he got fired by the president. if jim comey had said anything about, there he would have been fired on the spot. what we are looking at is a president who seems to have fired the director of the fbi because the director is finding evidence. and let me remind the viewers that we had, before, a few days before the fbi director was fired, there were reports that, there were reports from the fbi that there was evidence of collusion. now, i would like the get to the bottom of this so i hope we'll have a special prosecutor

and defending himself and if it goes a lot further, any hope of his legislative agenda coming to the foreo be reduced. arguably, a lot of the initial enthusiasm has faded already. if you look at a lot of the postelection trades, higher bond dollar, elements of equities at performing, they faded. most of the rally we have seen and equities in recent months have had more to do with growth, surprising to the upside than a has had about donald trump. at the margin it is a negative and in the short-term, people are tying to understand it. markets tend to shoot first and ask questions later and you get an initial knee-jerk reaction. let's talk about the probability of the june hike. 90% 10 days ago. we are dropping below 80%. there is a bit of skittishness about the rest of the year. how do you perceive how the -- these politics, to what extent the bond traders are unnerved in terms of what they thought was assured last week? john: i am not sure that economics will drive the fed. if it has economic consequences than maybe. it seems to us as though the fed is committed to two more rate hikes and

what do you think will come to the fore when you ask for this sort of advice? it: that is precisely the reason why we started this conversation. as i said in my speech today, this is the beginning of the discussion, not the end, so we want to hear from the american public, what is the best way to preserve those core values of a free and open internet, of more competition, of greater investment in infrastructure? i am confident we will be able to find a way that will appeal to consumers in the time to come. caroline: you are talking about consumers, very worth fighting for. you will hear their voices. you've already heard the voices of perhaps smaller startups that might be affected by this. we have got 800 startups and combinator,d by y they are concerned about the rollback of net neutrality. you have also heard from the bigger players, the 40 proper internet companies, voicing their discontent. the letter you received today from the 800 tech startups, say, "rather than dismantling regulations that would allow the startup ecosystem to thrive, we urge you to focu

we'll talk about religion and politics and the trouble administration bring that to the fore. igned an executive easen't an irs rule by limiting activity by houses of worship. he proclaimed a national day of prayer and had a statement saying quote all human beings have the right to practice their faith in private and in the public square. the public square portion. does that raise any concerns? >> it doesn't to me and it apparently didn't to the american civil liberties union either. i happen to believe this was a strict political pay off and symbolic terms that evangelical white christians have been his most supporters. 81% voted for him. i for one will break the ranks and make the case that america's original sin existed until organized religion, namely the american methodist, the anglican an gen cull and scwairkz led the rights. there wouldn't have been aive rights bill without the active involvement of jewish, catholic and brought tent. particularly black protestant leadership as well as peace movement. i'm not as concerned about the house bill. donald trump's religionousit

brexit has been at the fore front of this campaign from day one. week—and—a—half and every time he goes to a constituency and talks to constituents about what he his key policies are he talks about leaving the single market. he said this should not be the case. this would be bad news for the younger generation. we went to the south—west with him last week. this isa ba south—west with him last week. this is a ba battle ground for him. most people voted to leave the eu and he will struggle with people and place like this to convince them that to vote for him because he is actually still talking about something that has already happened. we have voted to leave the eu. as we heard in chris mason's report, the lib dems we re chris mason's report, the lib dems were routed at the last election. they lost almost 50 seats, they have got a mountain to climb at this election, haven't they? the recent poll figures show they are at 9%. the polls are not in their favour. we know past experiences have taught us we know past experiences have taught us that, but ju

from time to time, new information and new interpretations come to the fore that cast light on the disputes involved. that's what this seminar today is about. we're very fortunate to have with us to introduce today's speaker, a close student of the vietnam period, my colleague, professor paul stone. he will introduce the speaker, and also handle the question and answer period following our speaker. paul stone. [ applause ] >> good afternoon, welcome to this session of the humphrey forum. this is also a joint meeting with my class, which my seminar, which is taking place right now, called government ethics and the public will. can you imagine the good fortune of having this course going on, and this particular topic. i will point out that a major focus seems obvious, but is the presidency of the united states, and the role of the presidency. the president of the united states in shaping domestic and international issues. as a faculty member of the humphrey school in the history department, one of my main objectives is to wean people away from certainty. but in the spring of 2017, we're going
