unions. rya nair only officially recognised unions for the first time in december 2017. get more on this story with the travel expert simon calder. two passengers have options? there are reports is going to be travel chaos. there are departure boards across europe. everybody was told a week ago that your flight has been cancelled, rya nair offered a week ago that your flight has been cancelled, ryanair offered a full refund, and then crucially, it has, as you pointed out, offered flights on other airlines. most people will get where they need to be. the problem is, of course, that ryanair, when it revealed those disappointing results. said they are expecting much more in the way of strike action among problems of flight and cabin crew. pilots based in dublin went on strike. that led to a couple of dozen cancellations, 2500 people's flights cancelled. unlike any other airline i've ever known, which talks down the prospect of strike action, ryanair says, are going to be having more strikes but oui’ going to be having more strikes but our low—cost model depends on us doing

workforce, but they're prohibited as always to use official time for union activities. so what does president trump do in his executive order? he tries to restrict the official time for official work. he tries to restrict the ability for federal workers to join unions. he tries to make it more difficult to protect the rights of the workers. it not only violates collective bargaining agreements, it violates federal law. we need to speak out against that type of action. i want to mention one other point, if i might, and that is the administrative law judges are one of our front line defenses against abuses in our agencies so you can get an independent review of findings. now, one of the major concerns that we see coming up is that there is a politicizing of the a.l.j. judges by this administration in that what they're attempting to do is influence the selection of a.l. judges by the agency and the removal that can be done for political reasons. this violates the basic protections that we have in our system. mr. president, our federal workforce is the front line of public s

as as he meets with a top european union official. tensions are high.ut you'd never know that reading the president's don't worry, be happy tweets about the trade war. negotiations are going very well. be cool. the president tweeted this morning about trade negotiations. the end result, he says, will be worth it. that's the day after the administration promised $12 billion to help farmers hurt by the trade war. the president himself started. the reaction to the farm bailout decidedly mixed out in the states he's trying to help. the "omaha herald" thanks for aid but we want trade. he says he is not to blame for the fallout. >> i would argue, don't blame president trump. i've said this so often. all i'm saying is, this is not of mr. trump's own making. this is something mr. trump inherited. very unfair trading practices. this is a very difficult task. reform always is. there's a swamp for the world trading system. and he's trying to drain it. >> got it. the speaker of the hour, the majority leader of the senate speak with the president today. they're not

apparently this is a sign on the part of the european union officials that they are. this is a major win for president trump and for the european union to change their s structure to buy more from the united states. awhile ago, they were poo-pooing from this. many said the president had run rough shot here. this is still an agreement that will require a lot of aggressive policing but will set the stage in a rather dramatic sense for roll-back of tariffs on nonauto products, the likes of which the president has said we have not seen. the devil is in the details and the exact concessions. but for the president of the united states as the secretary of state is being grilled on capitol hill, a win and a big one economically. the hint of this today was lifting stocks up 172 points. now back to the grilling. >> we're sitting at the table having conversations. we had lots of discussions that i'm not going to get to today. you discussed the destruction of the missile engine facility. it was functional, viable and operational and in use of january 2017 before this administratio
