as we turn now to the tpp. nermeen: one of the world's biggest multinational trade deals, the trans-pacific partnership, has been signed by 12 member nations in new zealand. it will now undergo a two-year ratification period in which at least six countries must approve the final for the deal to be implemented. new zealand prime minister john key applauded the deal at the signing ceremony in auckland. >> the transpacific partnership ultimately represents a giant vote of confidence in an optimism for the future prosperity's of our economy and our people. today is a very, very important day for the 12 countries involved in the transpacific partnership. nermeen: the trans-pacific partnership encompasses 12 pacific rim nations, including the united states and 40% of the world's economy. opponents say it will benefit corporations at the expense of health, the environment, free speech and labor rights. , activists have kicked off a worldwide series of protests around the signing of the trade pact, including a nonviole

many of the tpp negotiating sessions.nd you have dived into the substance of the agreement to come to your final verdict on the transpacific partnership, and negotiate it. however, there is a backdrop in washington where many many people are opposing a presidential candidate from donald trump and ted cruz to bernie sanders and clinton and also have leading republicans who supported fast-track trade promotion authority, not in raising the deal. you have been in washington while. would it be political suicide for someone to support the agreement now in the mainstream district and if so, a disagreement scarred by inability to please vote both sides of the aisle. >> some people were in patient. and democrats and the country where we had differences of opinion forward. i base my decision on what i have been working on all this time. this issue as people come here to washington to lobby. as this picks up, and i wanted to stage a conclusion as to where i am after all of this work. i have heard candidates, i have heard donald tru

my position has never been no tpp. my position has been you had to address these very major issues that i outlined a year ago. i think that those objectives have to be met. hillary clinton has expressed her serious concerns about tpp. i went back and looked at her comments when she voted against cafta years ago, and she didn't outlined issues that related to cafta that are very much alive today. i think if she were elected president i would have confidence and how she would address trade issues, but it's hard to predict what's going to happen in the election. >> do you see any danger to the economy with the u.s. being seen as anti-trade? did you see risks? >> i'm not anti-trade. i don't think most democrats are anti-trade. just look at my career still i didn't mean to insult you. i just meant -- >> immigrants, look, we put together, we are the authors of may 10. charlie and i wrote it. it was accepted by the administration. we put may 10 into peru. and majority as i remember of democrats voted for peru which incorporat

japan and thailand. >> translator: the tpp members include vietnam and malaysia. if thailand is not part of the pact, it may disadvantaged when japanese companies try to boost production capacity in asia. >> he agreed that joining the tpp is an attractive option, but he added his country first needs to sort out domestic issues. he said he would like to make a decision after examining the effects of the trade deal on participating nations. >>> well, vietnam is part of the tpp, and japanese officials have been visiting that country, too. officials from the japan external trade organization put together a seminar on how the free trade deal can be used effectively. they were speaking to representatives of japanese firms doing business in vietnam. officials from japan's trade ministry presented an outline of the broad agreement. this included a timeline on when far rifs on items like textiles and auto parts will be eliminated. speakers also explained an expected increase in exports from vietnam to the united states after the tpp pact takes effect. investment and servic

to did for more signatories to the tpp? >> i think that right now all of the countries that are really able to participate in tpp are currently signed up. the other countries just economically and in terms of their own legal systems and other issues, just aren't ready to participate in an agreement of the quality of tpp. so that is true. at this same time, i doubt that putting -- that expanding the presence of u.s. security forces is going to be areal focal point here. the real reason to do this here is to develop the u.s. asean relationship and bring it to another level and expand on the type of diplomatic contacts that have been developed over the last few years in terms of the rebalance and redevelopment of asean. not talking about basing rights and additional troops in the region. those issues are too sensitive for the asean to be on the table like this. >> if you could explain the member countries in this group that are meeting here make up the fourth largest trading partner with the united states. can you describe wha

market will have no tariffs after the tpp comes into effect. >> especially on the government, we rely on a lot of american markets and if indonesia is not doing the tpp and vietnam is and other countries are then indonesia will definitely be out of the market. >> reporter: but other industrialists in indonesia are showing strong resistance toward the tpp pacts. among them are the operators of the more than 13,000 traditional markets. they say if the government policies prefer shipment for use by these markets they will be exposed to stiffer competition with foreign firms. >> translator: these traditional markets are lucrative investment targets. and they will be taken over by foreign firms. that would be very dangerous. we hope that the nation will not take part in the free trade pact. >> reporter: like other count these have signed on to the tpp, indonesia finds itself at a cross roads. some people will continue doing things the ways they've always been done, while others want to embrace change. the country has a ways to go before it can join the free trade deal. metalia, nhk world,

the 12 member nations of tpp reached an agreement last year and signed the pact earlier this month. it still has to be ratified by the governments of each member. congress may try to delay the more about an evening chase this morning. it started around 9-30 last night at east 19th and grand. the driver eventually went off the road and hit a tree in the 3600 block of kinsey avenue. after he tried to get away on foot. he had a warrant out for his arrest and is now facing a list of other charges. tension from a kansas workplace shooting continued overnight. four people -- including a gunman -- were killed yesterday evening when a shooter opened fire at his workplace. last night officers staged outside his home were told another shooter may have been inside. the home was empty once they did enter. still no word on an exact motive. the race toward super tuesday is heating up this morning.. tuesday's vote is the biggest stop along the presidential nominating schedule. last night republicans geared up by taking the debate for the last time before the big vote. insults were flying fast, mos

we need to ratify tpp. tradeer: the free agreement will eliminate or lower import taxes on some 18,000 products. the idea is that everything that goes from agricultural to industrial goods will be easier to sell. the u.s. representative believes that the tpp is so promising it will eventually pass. >> i'm confident at the end of the day because of the strong benefits to the u.s. economy, which have been estimated to be over $130 billion per year of gdp growth, as well as more than $350 billion of additional exports, that members of congress will see the benefits from their constituents -- for their constituents. reporter: some say that money will only benefit big business. in the u.s., multinational topanies will use the tpp move their operations abroad, destroying jobs. next, another big oil company is publishing its results today. this time, it is shell. stephen: the company confirmed it is cutting 10,000 jobs because of the slump in oil prices. profit fell by 80%, the biggest drop in 30 years. cost of su

right around the venue where the tpp was being signed. of course, these protesters are saying they reckon the tpp means countries like new zealand have to give up their sovereignty. they're worried about the lack of power they're going to have in making decisions going forward. of course, all of the delegates and signatories move to reassure everyone today that, that was not the case. but the next big thing now, ratification by the 12 signatories. back to you. >> matt, good to see you. thank you very much. matt taylor joining us there live out out of auckland. >>> now, astrazeneca shares climbing after warning on a 2016 revenue decline. vodafone says it sees underlying revenue growth rebounding on the back of strength in europe. its most important market. this as the u.k. telecom group posted a 1.4% lift in third quarter revenue. eric moore is still with us. you own both. >> i do, yeah. >> why? >> i think astrazeneca offers defensive characteristics in what continues to be a low growth world. you have an ageing population. that means more

on tpp, the signing of agreement was an important step. the customs bill being taken up tomorrow is another important step. and we are going to continue to press forward to have it a vote on tpp. obviously, we're working very hard to make sure when the vote comes up, we have the support to pass it. if yikd take a step back and look at where we were in early december or middle of last year, to promote a u.s. economic leadership in the world. that's unfunded. hugely important. we've done our part, kept our commitment and have tpp signed and now, cued up for a vote this year, so we're going to keep pressing forward. i think u.s. leadership in the world economically is part of what makes our country strong and part of what makes our economy strong. and open the trade agreements that provide opportunity frs the u.s. to participate in the future of global growth are a critical part of that tpp is that. on puerto rico, to begin by thanking you for the efforts that you've been making for months now to try and make sure this issue gets the kind of
