u.s. congress? what will they think abo j a deal that t with mexico? cason: the u.s. congress -- first of all, yoot count on the deal making it through the congress right now. congress -- it will have to get through the congress midterm elections. it is still to be determined what exactly is the result of the midterm elections. u.s. congress has been supportive of a trilateral deal. and if certain provisions are weakened -- it is going to be very difficult to get business groups on board, as wl as some of the higher wages in place as part of the u.s.-mexico accord might win additional suppor from u.s. laions, but you still cannot count on domestic -- laura: no, indeed, but is it quite a turnaround ino u.s.-mexlations? president trump on the phone with the mexican president today. jason: yeah, the mexican president offered to have tequila president trump. i think it is an incredibly portant point. this is -- yes, it is an economic deal, it's about the commercial vitality of u.s.-mexico, and should be about p.the trilateral relations but nafta fundamentally underpins u.s

u.s. congress who care about the philippines and we think to a frank discussion you know we'll get somewhere nowi just mentioned your talk at the council on foreign relations last year and in that talk you also suggested that the russians i beat cautious a bit to seeing a relationship the philippines because of the says deeply ingrained called war perception of your country as a very very close american associate not even an ally it would say i think more like an associate more and ate how far have moscow and manila gotten. have in practical terms my perception is that both in moscow and manila there were policy makers who say you know take it a step at a time be cautious this just might be a connection between president that within and president that there are very good talks between prime minister medvedev and president there you know but from that time on you know we have had for example we were buying arms from the u.s. and because certain members of congress were making noises about alleged human rights violation you know when we need that the most it was in there but here comes china a

u.s. congress to us is congress is extremely unhappy with various developments in turkey including not just the pastor now but also the as four hundred turkish the situation of children rights in turkey the situation of journalists in turkey so there is a lot of package in the u.s. congress that tore turkey but turkey has the diet as the absolute right to purchase as five hundred missiles from russia have been objections from the next including to us that this put the create problems for over. its nato partners but i think at the end of the day at the end of the day turkey has the type to beef up its or didn't depend system including that she has the plan system and that the deal get this one hundred says is in place and it's going up i missed it overnight if i if i can ask you what the full by turkish ambassador to the united states from two thousand i want to two thousand and five what would you recommend for the american and turkish leadership to do to mend that high and get over this current relationship crisis. to come down on number one. and act i feel cool if you like and the first o

u.s. congress and talk to members like senator john mccain what do you do now that john mccain is gone. i think it's it goes beyond his personal loss which is definitely the most. but we will see a lot of people that we have spoken spoken is speaking to for many years leave congress at the november election but of course the chairman of the forty first committee jeff flake. in the house of representatives. and i think we we we was morey's look at the point that the republican party as we have known it is probably gone for the foreseeable future it's no longer the party of lincoln and reagan it's not the party that was embodied by is it the party of trumpets that hurts the party by john mccain or to name george herbert walker bush who is in his ninety's and and we see a void and we see a party that has largely been taken over by a populist a nationalist movement. we will see how whether goes and we will see how the democratic process in the united states unfolds. with the november election and beyond we trust us the checks and balances and the democratic process working but it will be so

u.s. congress in the senate he has come to the unique when it security conference for four decades year by year many years leading the congressional delegation coming there. a veteran of transatlantic relations of nato. or cooperation. when he couldn't come back with his cancer treatment in february of this year but he left a deeply moving message that his wife read out. at the dinner. and. reaffirmed his belief in the world order that is ruled and governed by values and i think he very strongly want everyone to be aware that the alternative to such a world would be a dark and cool place and i think he encouraged everyone to keep on fighting for what we believe in in terms of a world governed by law and by values that we that we have larger shared between the u.s. and germany for seven decades does his death mark the end as a lot of people are saying the end of a transatlantic air. i think he was definitely. an incarnation of of that era. i think his loss underlines. the void in the weaknesses of many leading politicians especially in the united states at this point of time. on the other h

u.s. congress also has to have its say right. certainly there do a u.s. president on and can sign a new agreement without the support of congress and it's very delicate if you look . states here in the united states like kansas for example who depend a lot on agriculture from kansas twenty percent of their exports actually go to canada and was that is the most important trading partner and overall behind china canada is the second biggest market for the united states so there will be a lot of pressure to not just get any deal but the right deal so it's not going to be easy to hammer out a new agreement anytime soon and in other news yes with us g.d.p. numbers in how's it looking well the u.s. economy is on fire we saw economic growth in the second quarter by four point two percent that was a bit higher than expected and the biggest grows in almost four years but it's not just grows overall also if you look as u.s. corporations they just finished the second quarter was the highest of profit growth in about six years we see the unemployment rate at the lowes

u.s. congress and to the governments of mexico and canada so far this is really just a. revamp a restructuring of the existing deal they have tweaked some of the built in agreements concerning the levels of what are called domestic content that is to share a vehicle that must be built in north america they've added a new requirement that certain share of the workers must be paid a minimum of sixteen dollars an hour if they're going to get the benefits of this agreement they've also expanded protections for intellectual property rights they made some changes to agricultural provisions some of this is just updating some of it is refinement of the terms in the original agreement the u.s. says it will block the reappointment of a judgement they will trade organization the appeals court holds hearings on international trade disputes the move would reduce the number of judges on the body to three which is the minimum number needed for the coal to function diplomats will have impending crisis if they need judges added to the bench. the u.s. is urging saudi arabia to cut the num

u.s. congress and that's creating a lot of nervousness and volatility in the room or at the ruble earlier this week the u.s. imposed sanctions on two russian shipping companies accused of trading oil with north korea and russia's alleged involvement in the poisoning of former spy sergei screwball seen here on the right could result in a new far reaching set of sanctions on the streets of moscow locals don't appear too fazed by the rubles declining value. but in the field most of my savings are in rubles so it doesn't matter that much to me my clients pay me in rubles too so i haven't suffered losses there either the only thing which worries me is that they say prices will be growing well let's see you do fly before. you know. that. but wait and see wasn't a strategy the central bank was willing to risk the rubles weaknesses come despite an increase in oil prices and a general improvement in the russian economy a fresh set of u.s. sanctions could swiftly undo those gains. china has expressed serious concerns over australia's decision to ban chinese telecoms hallway technologies from supplyi

u.s. house of representatives so even if denny o'connor is not a member of congress as of tomorrow morning all tallied. he is going to claim that he can win in november and that he shows he can do so so the democrats are not calling it quits yet and they're still hoping to win at least the next race if they haven't won this will probably happen all right john hendren there. google issues a warning about one hundred fifty apps on its placed all that could affect computers plus. i'm john all in georgia that's the breakaway region of south of setia over there ten years after its war with russia this is a country still in the grip of a frozen conflict. welcome back we'll look at weather conditions across the americas in north america because some heavy showers across parts of the middle through towards the eastern seaboard still very warm temperatures into the thirty's in many places thirty five down in dallas some showers in parts of the west there colorado seen some heavy rain but. dry fine conditions for san francisco but very warm indeed for the pacific northwest with temperatures there ar

u.s. congress is too close to call just under one percent of votes separate the democratic and republican candidates for the seat in ohio the election is being seen as a test of don't try presidency as he won the distinct this trick rather resoundingly in two thousand and sixteen results could offer clues to november's national mid-term elections john hendren has more from columbus ohio the vote count showed republican troy balders in ahead by nearly a percentage point but democrat danny o'connor came out smiling he says this is it time ballgame and he did not concede i am so grateful i am so grateful for all of your support you believed in us. in a race that the pundits said we had no chance even being and you proved them wrong . this was really just a warm up race in a heavily republican district that's because whoever wins here is only going to continue their term until january there will be a new election in november and these same two candidates will be up for election bid o'connor ran a hard race and i look forward to campaigning against him again this fall o'connor was running in a

u.s. congress and the trade deal must be approved by the u.s. congress and they're going to be some republicans even members of the president's own party that could potentially push back because of some of the other trade disputes perhaps that it are affecting farmers so this is not a deal that has been sealed and the other thing after member in all of this is the nafta agreement is a trilateral trilateral deal right now we just have a bilateral agreement any changes to nafta must be signed onto by canada so we know that the canadian foreign minister is set to come to washington to try and negotiate there is a lofty goal of trying to get those agreements worked out by friday seems like that may be a difficult challenge given the fact that it's taken weeks to get to this point it's hard to see that that could be accomplished obstacles overcome in just a matter of days committee how could thank you very much. let's get a view now from mexico our correspondent on homeowners in mexico city for us what was the reaction there. when the mexican delegati

u.s. congress she's an outspoken critic of president trump and she's hoping to win a seat in the house of representatives so i think if we win back the house we have an opportunity to hold the republicans feet to the fire. the community activist could bring a new voice from new mexico to the capitol as never before seen numbers of women and native americans running for office so what's behind her potentially historic campaign and can death holland set the course for other americans who felt sidelined to follow her lead you know. sexism can be extremely subtle in some ways and i'm sure that a lot of women face this you know when you ask a woman to run you have to ask her seven times before she will say yes but you only have to ask a man one. this year a record number of women no longer need to be asked it could be a small step toward equal representation in a country where only one in five lawmakers is a woman well there are definitely more women running now than ever there there are hundreds more women who are running in every office from the top of the ballot to the bottom cross the coun

u.s. congress would have reported a lot of your journalism is the basis and cited within it although you're not alone in that but researching this sort of the notion that china reports there are about ten thousand organ donors in transplants per year but meanwhile the real numbers are in the tens of thousands maybe another size one hundred thousand. organs being transplanted and the question then becomes is that just all voluntary and obviously your allegation is no that's not what is the basis of saying that we know that this is definitely coming from political prisoners who are either alive or killed in the problem. that the chinese have bounced around from different arguments for many years they said they didn't even say where these organs were coming from or how they were doing transplants and they sort of just led people to assume that maybe it was voluntary or something of course there was no history of voluntary donation china at all and then they said ok well we're doing prisoners right they copped to the lesser plea if you like were we are we are taking organs from really bad crimi

u.s. congress people as well and u.s. citizens french and me we are doing this work with the u.s. citizens tax he talks about u.s. citizens to what extent are american taxpayers aware they are funding those sorts of organizations. well yeah americans have no idea that they're funding an organization that's explicitly dedicated to meddling in other countries affairs interfering in elections toppling often democratically elected leaders and spreading public relations campaigns to sow chaos against countries that resist washington's agenda but here you have kind of open acknowledgement from this korean activist who is behind the transitional justice working group which is responsible for a lot of what congress states and knows about north korea's supposed human rights violations so basically the united states is paying for its own findings to ramp up sanctions and hostility against north korea and what's really interesting about this event that i attended in capitol hill is that it was timed to coincide with the trump kim summit it was essentially a u.s. government backed event under
