marx is standing by willem, a number of issues on the table. what should we be looking out for in terms of today's meetings >> that will likely be up po president trump and what he decides to say publicly or tweet. it has always been his messages around nato that has been closely watched. for years now, he's criticized the spending on defense. he feels they should be paying 2% to defense. he's tried to claim credit for that in comments to white house reporters yesterday before he flew over here on air force one. >> it has not been a fair situation for us we pay far too much, as you know the secretary said we were responsible. i was responsible forgetting $130 billion from other countries that they were late paying >> he's correct in saying countries together are spending around $130 billion more but a lot of those increases were preplanned by many nato efforts because of efforts by places like russia in places like crimea you've got the turkish inkurgs in siryria and the u.s. decision to pull out of the long-standing treaty with russia particul

but at the centre of it, the interactions between the characters, a stellar cast — alec baldwin, willemho is so terrific — and the film looks wonderful. i think it's really brilliantly designed by beth mickle. it has a very, very fine and evocative score. as for norton, he does completely commit to the role of the private investigator with tourette‘s, which makes him sort of constantly interrupt himself with what appears to be an inner voice. it's a strange film, it's quite long — its 2.5 hours long — and i think that it's something that you have to give yourself over to. but if you're willing to let it work its spell — and it's quite a slow—paced film — i actually think it's quite rich and you can get lost in that world quite easily. ifound it quite immersive, quite an immersive experience. and a terrific supporting performance by alec baldwin. all righty. um, i really want to lucy in the sky to be good because i love films about space and exploration and... ok, look, i think i'm a bit of a lone voice in this, because i liked it. ok, so basically... you are a lone voice, from everythin

brush it under the carpet >> the word uncertainty comes up a lot in the context of brexit we heard willem marx does about that word and if that can be cleared up with a labor government or conservative government the market and the way it is trading is that with a conservative majority, that would be cleared up. isn't that misplaced optimism? beyond that, we have no clarity on what the future trading relationship is going to look like >> i think that's right. the key issue in my view is what many businesses are worried about. not so much brexit uncertainty, it's corbyn uncertainty. not only do traders say to themselves, we are absolutely right. we could be going on for a year or more. we could have corbyn as a result >> thinking that labor will be a minority government. their votes would have to be diluted some what to some other parties. it would be difficult for them to put into a reality. >> i think that is probably true we just don't know what happens when you get a hung parliament is another election afterwards it happened before in 1974 followed by a second election later that year.

agreements let's turn now to the breaking news in the united kingdom and boris johnson's brexit victory willem, take us through how big of a deal this was for the tories and conservatives some are calling this a landslide victory for boris johnson and the right winged side of the uk government. >> frankly, this is the largest victory the conservatives have enjoyed for several decades. the worst for the labor party since the 1930s. in scotland, we've seen the party wipe the floor getting four fifths in that country. that could lead to a further cause to a second referendum for them trying to pass the withdraw agreement, that's the divorce deal with the eu by the end of january. given the size of this majority, it doesn't look like boris johnson will face any major decision with that date. >> i'm curious, there is a lot of talk about what will happen with jeremy corbyn and that status as the leader of the labor party. in the coming months, given what we've seen as large as it was. >> what we said overnight is that we will not be leading the party to the next election that vote will be five years

were hoping that they would be moving into number 10 to shift out boris's furniture let's get out to willem to find out what is going on at number 10 this morning. >> i don't know whether that firm has a contract with downing street or the government to perform those services each time or whether they have to bid for it clearly you you are right, boris johnson will be retaining his role and will continue to live in the building behind me. that's primarily because his party has come through a very significant part of the country with a huge swing over the labor party. you go back, tony blair, they are slightly above 200 after last night's results boris johnson has a mandate. he has more wiggle room also within his own party that will put him in the driving sae seat we expect to hear from him no doubt about the steps forward. >> we await further comments out of the newly awaited prime minister i want to bring you some breaking news from germany there has been an explosion in the east german city of blankenburg. the explosion occurred in a housing block at 8:55 this morning. they also say the

let's get to willem in central london with more >> reporter: you mentioned the poll that has come out we are joined by one of our leading poll experts professor of politics at university walk us through what you learned from last night at yougov. we saw the image or shrink there is a margin for error. what does that mean? >> first they are saying we think the conservative lead is nine points. that is slightly less than all polls but bang in line with yougov's last poll given those numbers, we expect the tories to have around 309 seats, which is what you'd expect the poll is confirming what we'd long expected which is that the conservative lead has narrowed the lead in the polls a fortnite ago was some what bigger than it was at the beginning of the campaign actually at 10 points, the actual lead now is what it was at the beginning of the campaign this emphasizes two things we've long known from all of the polling. the first is we have to remember what the conservatives have to do in this election. if they are going to get the withdrawal treaty that will secure the uk's exit from the u

i think he's being a bit casual about the underlying unsustainability of the federal debt >> willem,th, but your alternative is what you're worried about is that down the road when you want to do a helicopter and drop money out of the sky, you think that's a good thing. >> yes, indeed under the right circumstances. when there are no inflationary pressures, as there aren't in the u.s. today, despite secularly low unemployment rate, the appropriate response to a fiscal stimulus should one be needed for the cyclical reasons is to monetize it, to engage in helicopter money, to use the popular expression >> so you're believing monetizing for our audience, you want them to do the qe thing, which they are doing now, and you agree by not calling it qe that isn't a bad thing because they just need to do it. >> it is qe. they're expanding the balance. at the moment it is inappropriate because there is no counter cyclical reason, there's no cyclical weakness but should a counter cyclical stimless be required then funding it not in the market but by selling the debt to the fed is the right thing

getting to the comments from willem marx in london. >> the president arrived here late last night. stayed at the u.s. ambassador's residence. he gave some public comments including on china saying he wants to wait until the deal is right. take a listen. >> the china trade deal is dependent on one thing, do i want to make it. do i want a deadline, no in some ways, i think it is better to wait until after the election, if you want to know the truth. i'm not going to say that. i just think that. i just tell you. >> so, you know, we've sh discussions about the phase one trade deal clearly, we are expecting things to step up that preliminary deal is not concluded. it doesn't sound like he's in much of a rush, guys >> it is an old technique. i'm not going to say it but in some ways -- i'm not going to point out you know nothing you can say it without saying it that is what he just did interesting the take from the new york times versus the wall street journal wall street journal plays it straight trump to levee tariffs on brazil the times, trump's adding south americans to his trade war

no ifs, no buts, no maybes willem marks joins us.s going to quit promises, promises >> promises, promises. what we've learned from jeremy corbin in the course of tonight is that he will not lead the labor party into the next election the worst result for the labor party since the 1930s. for the conservative party the best result for them in decades. it means that boris johnson will stay inside number 10 downing street likely for the next five years. he has a significant parliamentary majority when it comes to brexit that will allow him to leave january 31st, next year. the challenge then of course is how does he -- >> okay. we're taking -- we're having some technical issues, we would call them. call it taking its in tv business a record-breaking day on wall street and this news out of china and this news out of the u.k. that we were so -- well, we were interrupted jeffrey mcdonald is here harng smi hank smith is here as well >> good morning. >> how do you read the issue in brexit, the issue in china and to the extend you think it's g
