fewer people will actually pay tax at that rate. now, let me tell you what else they want to do. they want to nearly double the standard deduction. $12,000 for individuals. $24,000 for married couples. that's the justification for raising the lowest tax rate from 10% to 12% that a whole lot of people aren't actually going to pay for. the plan also calls for the elimination of the so-called marriage penalty. raising the tax credit for a child under 17 by a yet to be specified amount. and look for a new $500 tax credit for non-child dependents. that replaces the idea that you can actually otherwise claim non-child dependents. in addition, the plan calls for repealing the estate tax. what a lot of republicans call the death tax. this benefits generally speaking the wealthy. it also repeals the alternative minimum tax. at lot of you might say i pay the alternative minimum tax. here's the problem. it was actually meant to be something for the wealthy. wasn't indexed to inflation so a
number of people in the middle class have been caught paying it. make no mistake. repealing the alternative minimum tax opposed to indexing it to inflation is a boom for the wealthy generally speaking. there are exceptions to this. and i bet you you're going to tweet me about them any second now. on the business side, the plan calls for slashing the corporate rate to 20% from 35%. donald trump had talked about 15%. hard to get there. they've been trying to do that. but here's the interesting part. it also calls for a so-called pass through rate of 25%. those of you with small businesses, you'll know what this is. you can deduct expenses and pay the remainder of your personal income as -- >> i have to interrupt you. >> go ahead. >> you need to walk through what constitutes a small business. because when you see that you go great, this is for a mom and pop store. a mom and pop store, president trump has over 500 llcs. that's law firms and hedge funds.
>> right. so the average income for one of these pass through businesses in america is over $750,000. >> say that again. >> $750,000 for most pass through businesses. right? the average household, the median household income in the united states is $59,000. yes, while there are some legitimate businesses that use this pass through system that will benefit from being able to write off your expenses and then pay 25% opposed to the 35% that the personal tax rate will be or 39.6% today. don't be fooled into thinking this is about all small businesses. this still overwhelmingly supports those who are higher earners in this country. those are the details we've got right now. some of it has been reported by "the washington post" this morning. the plan aims to cut taxes by more than $5 trillion over ten years. and here's the interesting part. it's going to recoup participant of that. you'll keep the mortgage tax breaks and charitable tax
breaks. but a lot of the tax breaks you have are going to disappear. might be a good thing. might be a bad thing. we've got a lot of tax breaks in this code. >> we don't see a border adjustment tax we heard about. we don't know about capital gains. there's still a lot remains to be seen. and in defense of the plan, remember, this is their first swipe at it. >> it's not the worst plan in the world. the characterization of it as being all about the middle class is a little bit disingenuous. >> i'm going to say it's a lot disingenuous. this plan is a win for the rich. joining us now is john harwood. what's your take on this? >> i'm going to side with you over ali. >> yes! >> you always do. >> this is a lot disingenuous. in fact, it is not geared toward the middle class. you outlined many of the liabilities of this plan. i should say it's also not exactly a plan.
because if you outline a set of races and say we might have another one, we're going to pay for tax cuts but aren't going to say how, you don't have a plan yet. they're beginning a process. this is more detailed than they laid out a couple of months ago, but it's still not the entire plan. among the lieabilities, you mentioned the pass through businesses. secondly the top rate. they're also trimming back on the personal exemptions that families can claim for their dependents. so if you have a large family, if you've got four kids, you might lose more from the loss of those exceptions than you gained from the standard deduction. so they're going to be tax increases at the bottom level of this plan. >> can we also point out, i mean, look at history. you can look at the numbers. when the wealthiest people out
there get more money in their pockets, there is not a direct correlation to them going out and spending more. there's a greater chance that they go out and put more money in the stock market. when people who are living closer to the vest, living paycheck to paycheck actually have more money, they in turn go out and buy a washing machine, go out to dinner, buy clothes. they're the ones that change their lifestyle potentially and add -- inject money into the economy. >> stephanie, we've run some recent experiments on this question. bill clinton raised taxes on the highest earners. the economy boomed after that. even more than under president reagan. president obama raised taxes on the top earners in the country. not as much as he wanted to, but some. he grew jobs continuously and the economy improved after that happened.
those aren't the only things that happened, but there's not very good evidence to suggest that this is some sort of a magic potion to spur economic growth as the administration's been claiming. >> and it needs to be. josh earnest is here as well. josh, let me ask you. it needs to be because if you cut taxes and you don't get the corresponding economic growth, then you have what by the way a whole lot of republicans don't like. >> and that is the point i was going to pick up that john was making. i think it's important. we have tested these propositions before. under bill clinton and barack obama, we cut taxes for the middle class and raised taxes on the highest earners. what was the result? accelerating in the economy and reduction of deficits. we tested this both ways. when bush tried the opposite thing, we saw the opposite. we know how this plays out. i think the other thing that is really important here, the biggest political story of the day is the political earthquake
in alabama. i don't think anybody was showing up at rallies chanting cut corporate taxes. >> and that is two things. "a," they weren't looking for that. this just doesn't -- it has more legitimative appeal than it has appeal to regular people. and evidence indicates that if corporate america wanted to expand and make more factories right now, they've got either the cash on hand to do it or the available credit to do it. the idea we repatriate the money -- >> no question about that. and to josh's point, if you look at the polling, a majority of people in the country say that taxes should go up on business and should go up on the wealthy. so the republicans are fighting uphill on this question and on that roy moore victory last night despite the endorsement of president obama for his opponent, steve bannon -- >> president trump -- john b i think you meant president trump. >> i did mean president trump.
did i say obama? >> you did. >> yeah, i don't think obama endorsed luther strange. at that rally last night they warned republicans saying we're coming after the fat cats and wall street. we're coming after silicon valley. and so all those republican senators now who are contemplating not only their general election but primary elections have to worry about backing a plan that would cut the top rate. steve bannon inside the white house talked about raising the rate. >> john, let's remind the attendees at the rally who put steve bannon on that stage. the mercer family. cofounder of renaissance, one of the biggest, most complex hedge funds that specializes in structure derivatives on the planet. so spare me that nonsense line. >> and a lot of tax avoidance. >> correct. >> hold on a second. let's bring in michael strain. there are a lot of people, fiscal conservatives who have
been working to try and develop a plan that they believe will spur economic growth. michael strain, good to see you. is your fingerprints on this? and do you believe it achieves the people like you many american enterprise believe spurs economic growth? >> well, thank you for having me on. it sounds like you guys are having a lively discussion about this. you know, look. i think this plan reflects ideas that have been around for quite some time. lower the corporate rate is something that has traditionally had support among both conservatives and liberals, among democrats and republicans. simplifying the personal side of the code is something that has traditionally had bipartisan support as well. i think, you know, when i look at this plan, the big question for me is how do we pay for this? >> that's right. >> i imagine that will be -- >> that's the question.
>> asked this week as we move forward. >> so do you believe it pays for itself in the way the president -- we're going to wait for him to say it in indiana. he says it every time. i bet he's going to say it nap this is going to pour such fuel on the economic fire that we're going to get 3% -- >> he thinks -- he thinks 6%. >> is that true in your opinion? >> well, i'll take the easy one and say no. this would not increase the economic growth rate to 6%. you know -- >> let's try 4% or 5%. >> it will not raise it to 5% either. look, i mean, i think that you will see economic growth effects from increased incentives to work and save and invest. the question again is how does this get paid for. and if we increase the deficit, does that crowd out private investment that restrains growth even if it lower statutory rates
are encouraging growth? we'll see what the details of this looks like. from what i've seen so far, i don't think the plan will come close to paying for itself through increases and economic growth. >> but michael -- >> i think it will mitigate some of the costs. but you'll have to pay in other ways. >> pick your industry. whether it's gaming the tax system or regulatory capture. the largest corporations out there always know how to figure out how to game the system. and it's smaller business and mid-size ones that get squeezed out. there's nothing here that shows that it's tipping the scales for the small guy and not advancing the big guy. >> well, i don't know about that. we see a lower corporate rate. we also see a lower rate for pass through businesses. >> great. pass through businesses. including hedge funds, law firms, the 500 llcs that president trump has.
>> you are correct that there are some pass through businesses that make a lot of money. there are also pass through businesses that are very new businesses, that are start-ups, or have been around for some time that don't have huge profit margins. but that are family businesses or small shops or businesses that have been around for many, many years. pointing to the fact that they are often organized as pass through businesses doesn't negate the fact that most businesses are organized as pass throughs and that this plan will -- >> can i ask quick before we go? we mentioned hedge funds dpop they take carried interest out? i didn't see that in there. >> has anybody seen that? >> no. but ali, could i just ad one thing to what michael was saying? michael identified that there had been a bipartisan desire to cut the corporate tax rate. that is true. president obama, in fact, opened the door to that in his treasury
department talking about a framework for doing that. but they had the condition that it pay for itself. why? because the government needs more money, not less. we've got a huge number -- tens of millions of baby boomers who are coming onto the social security and medicare rolls. we need more government revenue, at least not to lose it. what's happened with the republican plan so far is they have failed to make the tradeoffs necessary in order to make a corporate tax rate paid for by taking away loopholes. if you don't do that, you're just going a cut and expanding the deficit. >> if i was a corporation, shouldn't i pick the bernie sanders single payer option? because that would be the best for me. that would cost me the least. >> you know, i don't know about that. look, there are some pay fors in here. a paid for, for example, of eliminating the deduction for state and local taxes which is a significant deduction.
and you get a lot of revenue that way. but i do think the question is, you know, how big is the deficit impact going to be. as this plan goes through the process, you know, we're not -- what we're getting today is not a detailed plan. we're getting a framework and the question is as that framework gets written into legislative language through the process, are we going to see additional pay fors on the table? i expect we will. but there again, you know, the question is what's the deficit of that going to be? >> that is the question we all have. we need more detail. it is september 27. we were supposed to have a tax deal passed by the august recess. now we're talking about the end of the year. this is about the most complicated thing people can get their hands around. so i appreciate that you guys are -- >> listen. last point? >> last point is just that it wasn't that long ago that donald
trump said i don't think that rich people need a tax cut. hopefully there'll be through the legislative process. >> that was such an important point, we gave you music. michael, thanks for joining us at the last minute. and john harwood, thank you. josh, thank you as well. next, new details from this morning from the closed door testimony of long-time trump ally roger stone. we're going to speak with the house intel lawmaker that some called congresswoman smear. oh, roger, you're so clever. >> also in d.c., "the washington post" reports the epa spending $25,000 to install a secure soundproof phone booth for administrator scott pruitt. that's taxpayer money. >> he's got to get in there to call tom on the private plane. >> "velshi & rhule" continues in a minute. for your heart...
your joints... or your digestion... so why wouldn't you take something for the most important part of you... your brain. with an ingredient originally found in jellyfish, prevagen is now the number one selling brain health supplement in drug stores nationwide. prevagen. the name to remember.
for 100 years, heritage and innovation have made gillette the #1 shave in america. now get gillette quality at lower prices -- every day. brought to you by 1200 workers in boston -- we're proud of giving you our best. gillette. the best a man can get. but he hasoke up wwork to do.in. so he took aleve. if he'd taken tylenol, he'd be stopping for more pills right now. only aleve has the strength to stop tough pain for up to 12 hours with just one pill. aleve. all day strong.
trump campaign or anyone associated with donald trump. >> okay. that was long-time trump confidant -- >> karz gnattic fellow, right? >> that's a nice way to put it. after his grilling by the house intelligence committee yesterday. the typically bombastic operative was relatively subdued after answering questions at the hearing. but he did manage to work in a few trumplike digs on democrats including when he decried the fact that the session was closed citing previous trump advisers' experience. >> in the case of michael caputo, he attended the session, answered all questions truthfully and then congresswoman smear -- i mean spear came back and maligned him. said he had perjured himself. >> i'm going to let ali take it here because i mispronounced the word decreed.
>> jackie spear of california, thank you for being with us. >> great to be with you. >> okay. let's just talk about that swipe at you. was that some sense of how roger stone acted behind closed doors in the committee? >> well, first of all roger stone is the premier showman. he put on his serious blue suit, showed up at the committee and was subject to the interview and did a very good job, was very serious. no pomp and circumstance. no unfurling of invective. and of course he went out afterwards and went back to the roger stone we know and some love and some boent. but let me just say this. he's writing a book on how a gentleman should dress. he might want to read a book on how a gentleman should act. >> hear hear. >> well, there you have it. besides fashion and manners, what'd you get down to in there? >> what was most interesting to me was the fact he just comes out, flat out says he doesn't
believe russia was interfering in our election. he doesn't believe the russia military intelligence. if you take that position even though you have the entire intelligence community, all 17 agencies saying very specifically with high confidence that that was the case and certainly the intelligence that is classified completely supports that, so if he says that no that's not the case, then he can arguably say, no, i wasn't engaged with the russians. he's not admitting it was a russian interface. so it's convenient for him to make those statements. the question for us, though, is was there involvement with the trump campaign and russia? and just as importantly and probably more importantly is how deep do the russians go in terms of impacting our elections?
and we're finding day by day it's more and more. we're finding facebook was one of the weapons and i'm using the terms weapons intelligencely. one of the weapons they used to try and influence the election and probably much more than that. >> let me ask about roger stone talking about why these hearings should have been open. should they be held in the open and why weren't they? >> so all of the interviews have been closed. we have asked the committee to have a number of open hearings. but since we're not in the majority, we don't get to make that final call. literally all of the interviews have been held privately and will continue to be held privately. >> well, congresswoman, thank you for joining us. jackie spear which is really her name not smear, thank you for joining us as always. >> ridiculous. all right. stand by, everyone. this morning an antiestablishment republican is the winner of a hotly contested senate runoff. what this means for republicans
nationwide. roy moore, the guy who said september 11th was god punishing perverseness. he also showed up yesterday to vote on horseback. think about what that day was. this guy arrived on horseback while in saudi arabia -- >> i'm not saying that offsets the 9/11 comments, but i do kind of think that's neat. >> ali thinks that neat. he arrives in horseback and in saudi arabia women won the right to drive. king salman signed the right. hoping it will includes the participation in the workforce. >> it will. it will allow you to get a job. >> stay with us. you're watching "velshi & rhule" live on msnbc. cold turkey. i tried to quit with the patch; that didn't work. along with support, chantix (varenicline) is proven to help people quit smoking. for me, chantix worked. it reduced my urge to smoke. compared to the nicotine patch, chantix helped significantly more people quit smoking.
when you try to quit smoking, with or without chantix, you may have nicotine withdrawal symptoms. some people had changes in behavior or thinking, aggression, hostility, agitation, depressed mood or suicidal thoughts or actions with chantix. serious side effects may include seizures, new or worse heart or blood vessel problems, sleepwalking or allergic and skin reactions which can be life-threatening. stop chantix and get help right away if you have any of these. tell your healthcare provider if you've had depression or other mental health problems. decrease alcohol use while taking chantix. use caution when driving or operating machinery. the most common side effect is nausea. i'm so proud to be a non-smoker. ask your doctor if chantix is right for you. many insurance plans cover chantix for a low or $0 copay. hi. so i just got off the phone with our allstate agent, and i know that we have accident forgiveness. so the incredibly minor accident that i had tonight... four weeks without the car. okay, yep. good night. with accident forgiveness, your rates won't go up just because of an accident. switching to allstate is worth it. your rates won't go up just because of an accident. hi, i'm the internet! you knoarmless bowling.lt?

the afghan president and government officials for the first time since president trump announced a new war strategy for that country. and in alabama, a political upset for senate majority leader mitch mcconnell and the gop establishment. former alabama chief justice and conservative roy moore seen here riding on horseback, that's how he showed up to vote yet. stunning. beat luther strange who was backed by president trump and senator mcconnell and millions of campaign dollars. >> i don't think the president knew me and i think that when he gets to know me that he'll understand that i do support a very conservative agenda for this country. and i think that he will back me. i've received a call from him and that's what he said he would do. >> some would call it a conservative agenda. some would call it unusual. president tweeted, spoke to roy moore of alabama last night for the first time.
sounds like a really great guy. notably, after deleting past tweets supporting now-failed candidate luther strange. more bad news for the gop establishment. republican senator bob corker of tennessee says he's not seeking a third term opening up another seat in 2018. former white house chief strategist steve bannon talked about that news at moore's victory rally last night. >> well, senator corker stepped down today. mistake after mistake. people will follow judge roy moore. do not need to get money from the elites, the capitalists, the fat cats in washington, d.c. >> i just want to make the point steve bannon saying we will not be controlled by the elites. i remind you again, the main financial backers from ban non's movements have been the mersers.
that comes from the new york hedge fund. he said roy moore is a great guy. you can have differing political views, but to put this in perspective, i want to share things that moore has done in the past. he believes homosexual conduct should be illegal. that september 11 was got punishing perverseness. and he said president obama was not born in the united states. and muslims should not sit in congress. so people can believe whatever they want to believe, but let's just point out things this individual has said and president trump just characterized him as a great guy. joining me now vaughn hilliard just down the road from the victory celebration last night. and steve kornacki. vaughn i want to start with you because i believe you were at that victory speech. what to do out to me when he spoke, it seemed like his central theme was making the point we should not separate church from state. that's a wow.
>> reporter: exactly, stephanie and ali. i think that's what we're looking at here. the ascension of roy moore is twofold for the republican party. really two challenges to the gop establishment. to mitch mcconnell. to the infrastructure of the republican party. one of them is on the very much of the legislative level. i talked with roy moore after the event last night. are you going to be able to work with mitch mcconnell. if he's willing to work with the constitution that i'd be happy to work with him. and i bring that up because on graham/cassidy health care bill specifically, roy moore stated he would not support. pretty much you're looking at another senator potentially to join the likes of ted cruz, rand paul in being a fixture of opposition to the republican party. then the second one that you're asking about there, stephanie, is on his christianity and his faith-based beliefs. and you just listed off several of those more provocative issues and stances that he has. and i was interested because really this race could have
implications looking beyond for other primary challengers. the likes of against jeff flake in arizona. heller in nevada. and i want to play you a bit of sound here based off of the reaction trying to get a gist from some of these voters. >> he's a good christian man. he believes in the bible and what's biblically true. >> i have voted democrat about 40 years ago. so i might vote democrat this time. >> i don't quite trust him. but i trust him more than i do that democrat. >> been in the news over the last couple of years with same-sex marriages. most of the people in alabama believe that traditional marriage is the right thing to do. >> reporter: except for that one gentleman, most across the board said we're going republican
despite those controversial remarks. >> except for the one who said he might vote democrat. thanks for your great coverage on this. let's bring in steve kornacki. put this in perspective for us. what -- there's the alabama side of this and the roy moore being an unusual character for alabama. but we've seen unusual characters catch the public imagination. what does this mean for the situation for republicans in washington right now? >> this means a story that goes back a number of years now. it is still a big story. maybe bigger than it's been. that is that the republican base is furious with the republican establishment. the name mitch mcconnell. the idea of washington, d.c., of capitol hill. one of the things roy moore ran against was the idea of mitch mcconnell holding sway in the republican party. >> then indulge me. allow me to be a twisted sister here. could a true conspiracy theorist not make the argument this is all the grand plan. president trump has been kicking
mitch mcconnell for months now. a huge failure for this administration is they've got no legislative wins. all republican-controlled situation. and trump wants to distance himself from that. so here, yes, in theory in name he was supporting luther strange. could trump not change his tune on that in a heart beat? at the end of the day, trump is far more closely tied to steve bannon than mcconnell or ryan. >> the message of the moore campaign was donald trump's already winking at us. he was at the rally with luther strange saying -- >> i may have the wrong guy. >> in fact, that became an ad for roy moore at the end of this campaign. the theme here on the republican side, i think back to when ronald reagan was president and there were conservatives who were angry. they weren't angry at reagan. they were angry with the republicans around him. their mantra was let reagan be reagan. >> people say let trump be trump.
>> and a guy like strange is going to get in his way. >> what about bob corker stepping out? he wants to primary trump? >> i look at it this way. >> steve's always far more responsible. his answer always starts with hold your horses. >> i mean, look at what the mood of the republican base right now. if you're bob corker. if you're an establishment republican in washington, you've got to worry about two things when you look at this. could this be me? i'm up in 2018. i've got conservative challenges. they don't seem to have traction now. but maybe it wouldn't take much. but also, what is the value for a republican sort of establishment figure for bob corker to go through another campaign, to come back to washington, and be in the republican party where there's more roy moores serving with him and fewer luther stranges? >> isn't the question who is the republican base? i'm pretty sure my mom and dad have voting republican their entire lives. and they don't think homosexuality should be illegal. >> look, you heard vaughn
mention this a second ago. flake in arizona, heller in nevada. they've got to worry right now. i'll give you another name. roger w.i.icker mississippi. >> i knew he was going to say that. look at her face. >> steve kornacki -- you know, stephanie. oh, of course. right at the tip of my tongue. >> he's got to worry though. thad cochran almost got knocked off a few years ago. the guy that ran against him looked the result last night saying i'm looking at 2018. >> riding in on a horse was brilliant. >> steve kornacki is like encyclopedia brown. >> we should always have him on our show. >> he knows things i haven't even thought of. >> i think the viewers would think we're smarter because he's so smart. >> i know one area and i'm an idiot outside of that. >> thank you, steve kornacki. >> i would like to point out he's never seen the movie "grease" and i can sing every song. stand by, everybody.
we're going to have a live report from puerto rico. maria is now still, you know, its damage is still there and it's becoming very hard to get the necessary repairs there. >> we're going to dig into the jones act when we come back. a 97-year-old congressional act preventing relief right now. wonder who controls it? those strong lobbies. kevin, meet your father. kevin kevin kevin kevin kevin kevin kevin kevin kevin kevin trusted advice for life. kevin, how's your mom? life well planned. see what a raymond james financial advisor can do for you. we were in a german dance group. i wore lederhosen. so i just started poking around on ancestry. then, i decided to have my dna tested through
ancestry dna. it turns out i'm scottish. so, i traded in my lederhosen for a kilt.
fibromyalgia is thought to be caused by overactive nerves. lyrica is believed to calm these nerves. i'm glad my doctor prescribed lyrica. for some, lyrica delivers effective relief for moderate to even severe fibromyalgia pain. and improves function. lyrica may cause serious allergic reactions, suicidal thoughts or actions. tell your doctor right away if you have these, new or worse depression, unusual changes in mood or behavior, swelling, trouble breathing, rash, hives, blisters, muscle pain with fever, tired feeling, or blurry vision. common side effects: dizziness, sleepiness, weight gain, swelling of hands, legs and feet. don't drink alcohol while taking lyrica. don't drive or use machinery until you know how lyrica affects you. those who've had a drug or alcohol problem may be more likely to misuse lyrica. with less pain, i can do more with my family. talk to your doctor today. see if lyrica can help.
and manned mostly by american crews. but even maritime groups admit that the u.s. merchant marine industry is shrinking. so what about foreign ships? they've got two options. first, dock at a puerto rican port and pay tariffs, fees, and taxes. or stop at a mainland port like jacksonville, florida, and transfer to an american flagged ship. costs of goods passed on to the puerto rican customer. it cost the puerto rico economy $537 million in 2010. university of puerto rico economists found that over the proceeding 20 years, the island lost over $17 billion from its economy as a result. in case you're wondering about the areas of texas and florida affected by harvey and irma, the jones act was waived in those situations. like for new orleans after katrina. the department of homeland security has not received a formal waiver request and has not decided if it will give puerto rico the waiver. the reasoning, the island's
ports are too damaged to handle the offloading of cargo. tammy lightner is live in san juan. tammy, the acting head of the dhs described the electrical grid as virtually gone but said there is food, water, and gasoline. when we talk to people on the ground, we spoke to a doctor earlier that said there are doctors who can't even get to the hospital because they don't have gas for their cars. >> reporter: yeah. getting around here is really, really tough. hurricane maria might landfall here a week ago. we are still seeing dramatic rescues from communities that are completely isolated. in puerto rico, an incredible rescue mission under way. this team of new york city firefighters and police officers searching for a family of six. gabriel had not heard from his family since hurricane maria chewed up the main bridge trapping his loved ones and their entire community.
his town, one of 11 on the island, these rescue workers have still not been able to reach. >> this is going to take over an hour just to get up this hill. >> reporter: we've been walking for about 15 minutes. it's slow going because it's desperation. then finally after almost two weeks apart -- an emotional reunion. everyone together once again. his family surviving the cat 5 with enough supplies to last a few more weeks. but gabriel's parents staying behind. for now. >> it's sad because we're going
to be separating. >> we should still be together. >> reporter: the goodbyes cut short making it even harder to get across the mountain. relief, grateful, but facing an unknown future. we've seen rescue crews from all over the united states, nevada, indiana, california, all over, working with puerto rican rescue crews trying to save some of these people that are trapped. steph? >> thanks so much, tammy leitner in puerto rico. i want to point out a tweet we saw earlier from the white house regarding the jones act. i'm glad you explained this as well as you do. they say the homeland security is reviewing a waiver for the jones act to help puerto rico, but it's unlikely it will be done today. >> we must remember, it's the u.s. rail lobby that has kept
this act in place for so long. not even the oil industry. because the oil industry for years had tried to get this thing dunawone away with, becau for years they wanted to use cheaper and more efficient barges and have been unable to. buffett controls a lot of the u.s. railway bridges. it would be great if at a time like this we could get as many goods to puerto rico as possible. >> just get rid of these rules that may have value elsewhere, may not, but for now we have to understand puerto rico being as serious and potentially more serious than the issues in texas and florida. >> but even in good times, places like hawaii, alaska and puerto rico suffer because of this rule, and at a time like this, come on now. put it aside. let's take you back, though, to d.c. where nbc's kasie hunt caught up with senator bock corker of tennessee who explains why he's not running for reelection. >> i'm in a position where with
phone calls i can make things happen and influence outcomes. so i have, like, zero frustration, and i want to talk more fully about this over the next couple weeks. it simply was, really, i came up here to be a citizen legislator. i provided entertainment for all of you because i'm willing to say things that, you know, our own people's minds. i'm frank. i've been that way because i never, ever thought about a future election, it's always been about trying to make something happen. >> as we discussed, this is just the latest obstacle for some republicans in their attempts to sort of try and create an agenda of things that can pass that will actually appeal to a broad group of voters and a broad group of republicans. what you are seeing now is the republican, the far right of the republican party, gaining a lot of traction, a lot of steam, including with the election now
or with the success last night of roy moore. >> one of the problems, though, that president trump continues to face, he's just not a detail guy. he's a sales guy. and like him or not, trump is a great sales guy. he's got great sound bites, great slogans and he can sell things. but once it comes time to deliver, and that's when you have to hash out every detail, we're not seeing it happen. the one thing we've seen is the appointment of neil gorsuch and he outsourced that. that was mitch mcconnell. the company is pushing equifax ceo richard smith for his resignation the other day. >> but he won't get severance pay but a pension worth $18 million on top of his $1.5 million salary, health benefits,
and that's not all. he could be granted about $30 million in stock options if the company -- >> that can't be true. you can't make more money -- median household average income, median income for the american household is $59,000. you can't tell me, stephanie -- this must be fake news -- that when you do something really wrong at the head of an american corporation, you'll get more just in health care benefits, almost double in health care benefits. never mind your stock options, never mind your pension. you'll get more in health care benefits than the average family gets in total income. that can't be true. >> i can tell you that's true and then you can find a dotted line to that forgotten american who is so angry with corporate america and elites and washington right there. stories like this are what get people so angry. >> there is a guy who is working on this, a number of people working on this. this guy swis one of them. i spend half my time is pennsylvania, so this is
attorney general shapiro. attorney general, good to see you again. thank you. the outrage -- you and i talked so many times about this. it never gets better. there is not a day in which i think, ah, equifax is doing the right thing. >> well, first off, ali, it's good to be back with you and stephanie. i'm glad i'm a whole alternate general. i'm also an attorney general who is just so offended, offended by the conduct of equifax since the breach. i'm offended by this golden parachute that this ceo gets to walk away with after he literally, on his watch, lost the data of 143 million americans, including 5.5 million pennsylvanians. >> here's the question. it's offensive, but is it illegal? i take you back to the financial crisis, the thousands of americans who were so angry with the banking industry, and you
saw executive after executive leave with all their dough. >> retiring. >> well, here's the thing. we have 47 state attorneys general investigating this data breach, investigating the delay in public notification and holding equifax accountable for their conduct since the breach. i'm proud here in pennsylvania that we're leading that coalition, and look, steph and ali, you guys talk a lot about the partnership that exists in washington. our corps of attorneys general are working together in a bipartisan way. we will get to the bottom of this and we will hold these guys accountable, and we will be unrelenting in our pursuit. we will follow the facts and evidence wherever it leads. we will hold people accountable. >> attorney general, tell me really quickly, i know there are a lot of you, 47 of you who are doing various different things. i know massachusetts has filed suit. do you coordinate on these things? will some of it become joint lawsuits or will you have independent lawsuits? >> we are absolutely coordinating in this
investigation. as i said, pennsylvania is leading that investigation. we talked to our colleagues across the country each and every day. our demands for information, stuff we've subpoenaed, has come as a result of an organized effort amongst the attorney generals. we are focused like a laser beam on getting to the bottom of this, holding equifax accountable, and most importantly, changing corporate behavior. i don't have a lot of confidence in the other two credit reporting agencies. i don't have a whole lot of confidence in the whole regulatory scheme. this is a situation where -- >> ali and i can't believe that people have to pay to get their credit scores. >> they lost our stuff. we never chose to be part of any of them. they make money on our information and we have to pay. >> we have told equifax to stop waiving rights. but it's true the other two agencies are still requiring you to pay. the one thing we'll be asking for from equifax is to reimburse
pennsylvanians who were chose to pay 5, 10, 20 bucks to get their credit frozen. they need to up their behavior, strengthen their protection and look out for the american people. >> you might be a half attorney general, but you are a whole attorney general, josh shapiro. thank you for staying on top of this with your colleagues across the country. josh shapiro. >> you may be a half of this show, but you are a whole lot of fun, ali velshi. as we reported, the secretary of health and human services tom price has used private jets -- yep. this is not a corporate story. this is a u.s. government employee story. we're talking about your tax dollars dollars. during his time in the cabinet, he has taken those planes and they have cost taxpayers hundreds of thousands of dollars since may. now politico says those trips
meet the woman who started it all. lucas is the first baby with down syndrome to represent gerber. this picture courtesy of cook's we agree. saying that's really . i'm heading to the white house where see you later this afternoon. appreciate you joining us for this packed hour. tuing it over to ali velshi and s ruhle. who doesn't love a gerber baby? >> love that baby lucas. sweet pea. >>morning, everyone. i'm ali velshi. >> i'm stephanie ruhle. it's wednesday, june 6th. >> mexico firing the latest shot in the escalating trade war between the united states and the allies. how is this goingo play when the president sits down with the leaders of those countries on friday? >> how many people are in on forming this tariff policy and who is in charge? >> that's a great question. in fact, what you see right now is a big split inside the
guns. >> we begin with the latest escalating trade war between the united states and the top trading partners including some of the closest allies and this one comes from mexico. the mexican president signed an order immediately imposing 15 to 25% tariffs on u.s. steel. also a 25% tariff on u.s. cheese and bourbon. plus a 20% tariff on american agricultural productncluding po potatoes, apples and cranberries. u.s. pork farmers alone could use $100 million a year. that's according to an estimate by the iowa farm bureau. this is after the trump administration eliminated tariff exemptions for our partners, mexico, canada, and the european unn. it also imposed a 25 % tariff on steel imports and 10% tariff on aluminum imports effective june 1st. with all this, the world bank has issued a warning that the escalating trade tensions
between the united states and the major trading allies could have, quote, severe consequences for the trade and growth that would be equivalent to the 2008 financial crisis. nbc's von joins us from des moines, iowa where the u.s. pork industry is holding the annual expo right now. >> stephanie and alley, reminder. 10% of iowa pork alone goes to mexico. so we are he in des moines and the president is at the summit. this is the world's pork expo not only from around the country but 40 countries from around the world. there are individuals here. i want to bring in christy. she's a family farmer. you have 460 employees you're about two hours north of here and have a full operation. about 10,000 people here over the course of the weekend coming through. and you not only grill up the food but you also produce it and go through it. what do we see here?
>> today we have whole pig and brats. pork loin and our baby bac ribs. >> family is involved? >> family is involved in the business. i am a fourth generation partf pork agriculture. my daughters are business. myfather, my sister, brother-in-law, and my husband. so we are not just a pork production family. we also employ a lot of other people's families. >> reporter: almost 500. >> that's correct. >> reporter: and stephanie and allie, there's a lot of people who are associated with the business as well. pork is foundational to the iowa economy. when you see the trade negotiations underway, the tariff that's put, what's your concern? >> well, the one thing is that if it's for the long term, that could be devastating for the industry, but wenow a lot of things because pork is a very flexible agriculture, some of these things are short-term. we feel like we're pawns in the chess game of the trade wars, but r the short time the american producers can have cheaper bacon and ribs for the summer.
so in the 80s when ery wanted leaner pork, and all the pork fattier and bacony, we had to change the genetics. we had to make that fit the consumer's desires. so right now a lot of people are going for all naturalpork, antibiotic free, organic pork. we've seen that on the american side as well where our con have become a more refined palate. >> how e ist f y adjust? >> it's not easy, but pork producers work hard, so they'll find a way to make it happen. a lot of people have been doing this for so many years. this is just one more bump in the world in the world market. >> that's great. that's about as an american response as you get. they're facing uncertainty. they're worried about it and coming up with innovation. that's remarkable. >> john, i shou tr you before, but when i saw von and the smokers behind him, i was dazed in a bacon bo
nonza. sorry about that. >> made me hungry too. >> the eu announced it's going to be imposing retaliatory tariffs on u.s. steel and aluminum. canada also imposing tariffs starting july 1st can tariffs. that includes a 25 % tariff on steel and 10% tariffs on aluminum. you have yogurt, jam, whiskey. walk us through how this is going to play out. the fact we're hearing this could take us back tth 2008 nanciacrisis level. how bad can this get? >> well, i'd be surprised if it got to that level, because it usually when president trump meets formidable resistance, he backs off. so it is possible that given all the alarms that are being sounded by republican members of congress from agricultural states, for the business round table yesterday, national association of business economists yesterday downgraded
in their survey, their forecast for growth in 2018 from the previous survey, this trade overhang is bad for the economy. republicans need a good economy to succeed in midterm election one possibility is president trump in the face of all this makes a lot of noise, rattles a lot of kangs and steps back. but if he doesn't do that, we're rheaded for trouble with allies at a time when we're not even addressing in the trade discussions that we're talking about right now, are the indications that we have. we're not even addressing the big threat from china over theft of intellectual property. we're fighting our allies at a time when we need them to confront china. >> there are people with legitimate concerns about the trade deals and how they've affected theirndustrieand
jobs. and even president trump has campaigned saying he's going to do something and he's going out to do something about it. it is not business as usual he goes to the g summit in canada on friday where he's meeting with leaders of canada and the eu nations. at what point does this sort of bring a summit like this to a halt because everyone is angry at the u.s. or do they have business to continue to do while acknowledging the complaint on behalf of many american workers thew trade arrangements? >> there's some business they can do. there's a lot of routine business that goes on between finance and trade ministries of these various countries. but the united states, make no mistake, is becoming isolated. it is being condemned by its allies for the actions that king. and one of the things we've learned about the world over the last couple of decades is that you need allies to get something done. the world is too globally connected. you can't -- america can't be
the world's policeman, but it can't vindicate it's own interests by itself. so that's a difficult situation. the present is now talking about trying to break up nafta into separate categories with mexico and canada. that is going to be a nonstarter. ultimately, i think he's going to be faced with a decision of either pulling out of the existing nafta or getting nothing done at all. >> it is worth noting, though, that in those various industrialized countries that comprise the g7 or g-20, there are constitntil ns. almost everybody in the world thinks they got an unfair trade deal from someone else. i'm sure there are canadians and we know there are britons because that's why they voted for brexit who feel we don't have trade deals with everybody else. >> that's why you have big multilateral trade deals. everybody has skin in the game. er has got to make
compromises. so can a mexico were part of the transpacific partnership which renegotiated nafta. the president backed out, again, isolatinited stes on the world stage. >> thank you, john, and thank you to von in iowa. president trump reportedly obsessed with his ability to grant pardons, and we can see another one come any time now whether he's obsessed or not. that could be a woman who is happy he's obsessed. one of them would be that great grandmoer whom reality star kim kardashian is fighting for. we'll speak to her daughter coming up. george woke up in pain.
i missed that. both of my parents haved away. i was not able to be by either of their sides and their f days. that's an ache i had that never goes away. >> alice's daughter joins us w. we have confirmed from inside the white house that the pahas been prepared on yourmom. the president has not signed it, but it's ready for his signature. has the white house reached out to you, and how do you feel about all of this? >> no, the white house hasn't reached o me. 's surreal. i'm just finding out now on live tv that the paperwork has been prepared. i mean, this is something that my family and i, we pray for for years. it's just -- it's just surreal. it's amazing. >> wow. >> did you think this would happen? last week it was obviously major for you and your family when kim kardashian west went to see the
president. the next day the president didn't make an announcement. did you start to lose hope? >> no-ev let myself lose hope, because that's worse than anything. i don't think i could take not having anyhope. tentive, it's a reserved hope. we've been through so many ups and dnsouout the years with different appeals and things. so it was -- we're hopeful, but it's a reserved hope. you know? until she walks out that door of th prison. >> she said what she said and that she was part of a drug conspiracy. she admits to what she did. you started a petition that you write since being incarcerated she's been a model prisoner who mentors women. tell us abo w she is. she's become an ordained minister. that's a long sentence for a nonviolent drug offense. for americans saying why are we committing people with
nonviolent offenses, why are we doing this? >> she has tried the best she cano make a negative situation into a positive situation, as much as it can be. she really dedicated herself into helping owomen, and if she's -- plans on working with women who are incarcerated to help prevent recidivism. i think she'd do a lot more good outside of that prison than she is even inside a prison, even though she's doing a lot of good in there. she's just taking the bull by the horns and is really trying to be a positive person as she can be. i mean, she made mistakes, but she's human, and she's worthy of being pardoned. she's worthy of a second chance. >> how did kim kardashian west get involved in your campaign, and after she met with the president, did s with you what he told her about your mom's case? >> yes. she got involved with the case.
she saw the mike video and decided to reach out to my mom through her attorney. but the family, we didn't know who it was at first. shawn just told us i a female celebrity, a wealthy female celebrity who wanto advocate for he i had no idea. no idea it was kim be oprah. kardashian. when we found out, it was definitely a pleasant surprise. she has really been an advocate for my mom in a major way. she's really done a lot, and where she could have saw the video and said that's a shame and gone on with her life -- i wasn't privy of the meeting. wasn't there. all i heard was it was a po meeting, but i don't know exactly what was discussed. the exact language. >> we'll keep an eye on the story closely. we hope for the best for you and your family and mother. >> thank you so much. i'm -- thanks. >> good luck to you.
she has twins at home that haven't met her mom >> that will be amazing if they can. >> yes. also today rod blagojevich asked the president to commute the remainder of his 14 -year sentence. he was convicted on 2011 on multiple felony corruption charges. >> there's something else you prably didn't know about the privacy of your facebook acunt. >> i know nothing about that. all i know is i know nothing and everybody has amy informaon. enharing er infor wleast four chinese companies, including one flagged by u.s. intelligence as a security company. >> wasn't zuckerberg testifying before congress on this? did this come out? this is strange. first a new potential conflict for scoot pruitt. he's now accused of using a government aide to help score
his wife a chick-fil-a franchise. pruitt never spoke to the ceo of than told "the washington post" mrs. pruitt didn't complete the frchise application. this is a weird story. >> this is the definition of swamp. >> no kidding. we'll be right back.

more evacuatis. the number dead at 75 with almost 200 people missing after the first eruption on sunday. before the break, stephanie talked about fax inspect facebook has allowed chinese companies access to your personal infon. the deals facebook still has in place, here's why they matter to you. huawei is one of china's biggest telecom companies. they access a trove of information, friends lists, rx and political leanings, work and education iti and more. on accused the company of state influence. saying the chinese could use the infopyn americans. the department of justice ban the sale of their devices on militarydevices. facebook it would end the partnership by the end of this week. at least three other companies
has access today a. lenovotcl and oppo. devices from one of these companies may be in your home if you picked up devices on black while these cn't known toavcte influence frhehinese government, the fanyf them have acceo your personal data should betroubling. facebook c be facingerious issues with the federal trade commission over the partnerships. somewhere in place after an agreement that was reached with regulators to more tightly control access to user data. as a former chief technologist for the federal trade commission put it, it's like having door locks installed only to find out all his lock smith gave the this is a remkable >> joining us now, n york con fessoreical reporter,ick
confessore. why does it matter they have access toacebook data? >> it matters in two if your d is going to the phone, it means your data could connect with other apps on the phone. th problem i why spreading the data through millions ofes around the world, through these partnerships and not through their own app, it puts your data at risk and creates vulnerability. this is not the app on your phone that says facebook. this is a streamf data from facebook central that goes to device makers and devices around the world. ook users ohese serve people devices. but it also putss data beyond the control of facebook. all right. facebook is banned in china. so this sort of begs the question why are chinese companies being given access to facebook data? and what do the want it for? >> we lo the main purpose of these partnerships on t
surface, ali, is tha people using thes phone and the re eager to get access to their facebook information. if nicko see his facebook account on the phone, and the phone can't support it for whatever reason, the phone can my information from my account, but also the information of all my friends and some of their frie so you quickly get up to huge amounts of information flowing onto these phones. and the question for the company is if the phones for these are getting thedata, are s actors in china getting the information? >> okay. walk me through this. atme if any, could facebook face for doing this? again, they have very little regulation. >> aside from potential lawsuits in the u.s., there's a possibility of severe problems in europe where the rules are
tighter. even here in the u.s., as y nodd into a consent decree that said you can't share the information of the ers' friends without asking the friends first. you got to stop doing that. and facebook has said , look, when you agree to share information with your friend on to share it with that friend on andevice they use. and that's where -- experts we spoke to said t not what the ftc was expecting and it defies what consumers were expecting. the ftc would fine them as well. >> i have to go back over the testimony from mark zuckerberg at congress as to whether he was asked any of these specific questions and didn't give the proper answer, because once again, i sort of thought that once mark zuckerberg testified at facebook, we'd be done with the new revelatio bad things that facebook has th your data, but it doesn't
end. it's kind of fascinating. it's like ok has found people to give our data to who i didn't know were looking for it. >> and they haven't owned up to it. >> it's shocking they didn't describe it in the testimony. zuckerberg said you control all your information and you control it and have privacy. and never mentioned these partnerships. but part of the reason is that facebook's whole idea here is that these partnerships are actually part of facebook. so they're slight of hand in my opinion is to say tha it's not important, and these aren't outside companies if facebook information is going to a phone sker is part of facebook. and so from facebook's perspective, there wasn't any breach. >> what is facebook saying? give us the goods on when you go back and forth with facebook pr on this, and this clearly at best is slight of hand tactics. what are they really saying to you? >> what facebook is saying is our entire frame for this is
wrong. what they're saying is look, there's no problem here. it's no big deal. so these companies, apple, samsung, blackberry, if they're carrying this data to users who want to use facebook, it's a part of facebook. it's all facebook. there's no third party involved and no breach of the ftc consent decree, but if you look under the hood, stephanie, if you look at how it actually works, facebook's own system, its platform, treats these phones like apps, and apps are third parties. it's actually a problem between how they describe it publicly and how it works. >> nick, good to talk to you as always. what a story. the chinese telecom giant zte is being rescued by the united stat >> why? >> well, what happened to the concerns about zte and our national security? we'll discuss that on the other side. >> why? but first the judge who give a lenient sentence to an

welcome back. chinese telecomiant struck a preliminary deal to lift oh ban on components from u.s. suppliers. zte originally came under fire for violating u.s. sanctions by selling american products to iran and north korea. >> that'ig deal. in march the commerce department, march, that's p's c slapped the seven-year ban on the company after accusing them of violating an agreement to settle claims against it. the move for zte to cease operations last month jep sizing 70 nour 70,000 jobs in china. it includes a total penalty of $1.7 billion against zte, and zte repl the board and executive team been 30 days. >> mike, good to see you. thank you being with us. the commerce department through the spokesperson said tuesday
that no definitive agreement has been signed by both parties. where do you think we are on this? >> they seem to have a deal in principle. whether anything has been signed is the question. in terms of the penalty that thay, that includes additial purases wou make of u.s. goods, and we want -- the united states wants contracts signed. not just promises. >> that's the context around th isn't j a deal with the commerce departmtnd zte. this has larger implications about trade between china and the united es. >> this is really important. at its face, you could say this is absurd. the united states government, the commerce department were going after zte. if the united states wants china to play ball on trade, do they need to do something to appease the zte situation? >> it looks le they do. they announced a lot of changes as they try to bring the economy into a more integrated trading system.
this is caught up between t united states and china. and next week is the singapore summit. they need the chinese' help with north korea. that's playing in to try to reach a deal to get the chinese to help with the issues. >> this is what regular folk think is swampy, the deals made. we've made it clear zte did things that are regarded as bad and gone. chinese asked the united states to do this. what the chinese offer in return? what is america getting for doing this? >> it's the american worker, supposededly, we're doing this for. >> that's the real question. the chinese be ordering more american made goods because they need more. their economy is expanding. the question is what do they do in addition to that to get the deal done? we have reported that they're going to buy another $25 billion worth of oil and coal and some agricultural products. that's not very much. it's nowhere near the 200
billion donald trump says he wants. the question is is it enough and will they follow through? they announced earlier $70 billion in additional purchases and there were no contracts signed? >> so china agreed to -- i'm saying, if we say zte is back in business. we're imposing smaller fines. change your board, we're putting that in motion. what china as promised thus far, you're saying they haven't signed contracts and haven't done? >> they are buying things, but the direct connection isn't there, and there's no signed deal that says in exchange for this, we will do this. >> they are just separately saying by theway, we're to buyeoil. donald trump is on saysed -- is so obsessed with the trade deficit. china is promising to reduce it a little. >> last year they came to the united states and agreed to buy more liquid natural gas. they need it, and now the trump administration is including that in the chinese is buying more

as of april open jobositions the unid states stood at a seasonally adjusted 6.7 million jo is more than the 6.3 million americans who are unemployed. there are more americans unemployed, but these the people actively looking for jobs. 6 .3 unemployed looking for work 7 million jobs available. companies are forced to adjust the hiring approach that they've usn the past decade. they've got to loosen job criteria and pay higher wages and offer more benefits. this is the good part. for companies this can be a big struggle, by the way, if a company can't find the candidates it needs, the company won't be able to contribute as much to the economy. higher costs of wages can disrupt how much money the
company makes. profit margins and companies will have to decide costs are going to be passed onto consumers like you and me. you can see how t happens. if it becomes more expensive to emplpeople, you may bear the cost. here's how lower unemployment can cost you. higher prices w push enflags up. that pushes down the power of every dollar in your wallet. especially with wages rising slower than normal for this kind of employment picture, the federal reserve is keeping an this inflation rate. unployment is low, wages go up, your wages may not be going up as much, but your dollar becomes a little less powerful. if inflation goes up too much too quickly, the central bank gets involved, the fed gets involved. and the way they low down inflation -- remember, the fed only has gas and brakes. they have to hit the brakes. they do that by raising interest rates. that's great if you're a saver. it will help you if you have
money in a savings account. it will grow faster, but it's going to make it more expensive if you're a borrower. if you borrow for things like home improvement, college loans or car, it could get expensive. and complicating this is the concept of underemployment. while the employment rate is very low, underemployment refers to people who have a job but in the lower paying job than they could otherwise demand. these people are going to be especially vulnerable to rising inflation and rising interest rates meaning that just having a job isn't enough anymore. we have to look at the quality of jobs we have. again, i want to be clear, weove low unemployment. it is generally a very good thing, but once you get to this below 4% level of employment, you have to start thinking about the unintended consequences. >> i always think of this from a working mom perspective. child care in this country, we don't have public child care.
i think about what full employment looks like and the jobs available to people, they need to have fhedus. they need to be paid e o support their families. it's a complicated issue, and you hope once we reach this level at full employment is when we have a chance to say everybody has a job, let's look at the job. what does it offer? what does it pay? we don't just need people to survive. we need them to thrive. >>'mla we're moving into this part of the conversation. >> me too. after the mass shooling at parkland high school, the government set up a commission on school safety. education secretary betsy devos says it is not examining the role guns play in school violence. >> huh? >> that is like trying to prevent a heart attack while your cholesterol level is at 300. and, in fact, it's like trying to prevent a heart attack and never checking your cholesterol. >> we'll talk about that when we come back.
that's what's happening here. >> the federal commission on school safety will not study the impact on guns on school safety. the commission was formed after the parkland shooting where 17 people were killed. here is what betsy devos told a senate committee. the role of firearms it relates to firearms in our school. >> that's not part of the charge per se. >> you're studying gun violence but not considering the role of guns. >> we're studying school safety and how to ensure our students are safe as well. >> wow. in case there's any question about whether guns play a role in school violence, let's take a quick look at number. this year there's been 17 school shootings. that's the highestumber during any year in recent history. more students have bee killed at school this year than those killed while deployed in the united states military according to the washington post.
just look at last month. in four separate school shootings in may, ten students were killed. 16 others injured. if you look back, nearly 20 years since columbine in 1999, 141 students and educators were killed in their classroo another 287 have been injured. beyond the dead and wounded, what about the kids forced to witness their classmates being murdered o cower behind a locked door or behind a desk to avoid gunfire. more than 215,000 students have experienced gun violence at their school since columbine. these fro yearlong investigation by the washington post. the federal government does not track school shootings. >> why not? let's bring in the president of american fed ration of teachers. the second largest teacher's unn in country. do your teachers have a role in
this examination. we can't figure out why if the federal government is looking into school safety, there's more people getting killed byuns in scol g by anything else in school. why is this not the top of the list, yet alone not on the list? >> nothing any longer surprises me about what betsy devos does. it's just -- it's more than ridiculous. it says to people in america that the federal government doesn't work because it is the height of hypocrisy to pretend you're doing something but then actually not do it. stephanie just said the statistics that i would have said but let's put it this way. other countries have figured this out and betsy devos is not only not letting guns be an issue in commission that was set
up after the murder of children in schools by guns but she's also not going t the hearing today where you have people like abby clemons who survived the 2012 sandy hook shooting testifying. i would say to betsy is this, maybe she read the new york times today, at least she'll get some indication of what happened, the terror that happened in parkland. if you're so intent ongoing out of town and out of the cnt today to study what switzerland is doing in terms of career tech ed, why don't you study what australia and great britain are doing in terms of gun safety in schools. it's just hypocrite cal and frankly the problem is given this administration, the only thing we can do is actually not have this administration. they don't want to solve it. >> i understand that's your position but this is our current
administration. we've got work with who the president is. i know you wrote a letter to president trump back in february. >> he never >> him to meet with you to discuss school safety. what happened? >> never answered. there are issues, mental health issues wrap around services ng that we deal the issues. the red flag laws where if law enforcement or families or what governor cuomo extendt to teachers feel like a child is a clear and present danger and could be, this goes to it. there are other things question do. the problem is this. it's this is increasing right now. kids in santa believe it's a
matter of when, not whether. we'll have to work with governors. we'll have to work with legislatures. we will keep trying to get them to listen but if they don't show up at their ownhearings, the only thing one can do is kind of to shame them and to make what they are doing or not doing transparent. >> it was definitely shocking a hear a student say we expected it. this was just matter of when. good to talk to you as always. >> you're welcome. >> thank you for watching this hour of "velshi & ruhle.ruhle." i'll see you tomorrow at 9:00 a.m. >> i'll see you tomorrow at 11:00 a.m. time for our friend andrea mitchell. right now, missing melania. the president attacks the media. the media reports questioning the first lady's 26th day public
this is kenya's biggest trash dump. he's just a few kilometers away from nairobi's commercial district every day hundreds of trucks are running with garbage from the city's not fluent districts and it's hotels and restaurants. i mean i sort the trash because i'm trying to earn a little money and. i'm no longer alone because i have a wife and child mouth and i have four legs and they're waiting for me to come back with milk or bread in the evening. it was happening i knew nothing that they'll complain if i come home empty handed have the yeah yeah. there's a few guns with you i collect food and put it aside to feed my pigs they have to eat too. sometimes i might be lucky and find so. packed meat and chips here.
and that would be lunch for today just like that. some might think this is not a good job and if they see me looking as dirty as i am now they might look down on me but i know what i'm getting out of it. is not what i think without looking and you can find food but there's meat. you see these people around here but you can move in if you know they depend on i mean one up on me to get me to do we do. them mainly here because of meat maybe they live somewhere nearby and they haven't had anything to eat yet today on the. line. every day hundreds of people from the nearby slums come here in the hope of scavenging food or anything else that might come in and. one of them is one but we get don't go my mom. was working here. where. she
have high income and because she didn't have a lot of money and young men maybe. i was coming here to work i didn't have my data . so i done before the place i can't play money. back i have my own. no three i want to be in my paycheck. first was seen as something that was necessary for growth to happen was something that was necessary for israel productivity. would be no clinic to be. then we started to realize that ok too much good he may be a local problem. and brooklyn new york. b.r.
simmons is on his way to work. people look at you and. they think what they were thinking oh look at that person that people of that garbage and things like that you can't let that stop you. if you have bread to pay and you worry about that you'll do it as a good thing. as a go walk outside one day when around the corner and i saw the recycle bags full of bottles and cans and as you know something. i see in all that money that's what it that's what it translates to money. you get up at four o'clock in the morning go out the histories were four o'clock the world is yours you hit bills keep places with a big enough shopping cart but eight o'clock the shopping cart is blooming. what i like about it is right in the panda feed. i go out on
a seventy five dollars steak a painless office. my mother took me to know they do not depend on people you must get your own. and my goal was to just get breakfast lunch or whatever yes it. appears simmons never had much growing up to sixty five year old girl many different jobs then he became unemployed. for me to be happy i need peace with god. people who look down on can as i think a lot of them have a surprise waiting for them down that. they need not be judgment to about the people because they themselves are paycheck away from home.
actually inequality was felt from people's life chances from the starting point and often from just luck or an unlucky turn and inequality actually really damages society. no longer able to pay the rent simmons ended up on the street for months. being homeless the ships are psychology this is being received a psychology only one extreme of the poor extreme it could drive you mad. a lot of people don't want to go to the shelters defrayed a great killed a deafening all be wrong. when i was homeless i rode ferry back and forth all night what was this stuff someone tell you can't stay on you gotta get off the boat for the next room so imagine you trying to sleep. or. you sleep on the
manhattan side so in the morning when you wake in a new york city is walking all over going to work people looking down at you is still thought this guy has a key he can he's going to sell something on the bed watch t.v. you don't know how those simple things you miss the today gone. the. garbage dumps can provide a lifeline for people like god where no cheating. it's dirty work but there's very little other work here. then use economy is booming but most of the wealth ends up with the country's tiny upper class. jennifer yeah. it's unfair when some people are so rich before me when families own land and farms and others are living in slums and have to sleep rough into another lane there are some people who are. i sleep on the down side because they don't have homes. in my opinion on
iraqi people who have money should open something like a resource center which can help lift up those who are below them or help the young kids who are facing a tough life which is looking at least that would help reduce poverty in their small needs to get a book and was oh my skinny little bit. actually what really matters to lift people out of poverty is investments in education in health infrastructure whether or not the government's doing these investments it's really important for a society to try to enable children from low income families to have the opportunity to get the kind of education that gives them a chance but also not to leave people falling vulnerably into poverty. the social inequality here is striking most kenyans have neither health insurance nor state pensions. forty percent of the population lives on less than two u.s.
dollars a day at the same time there are more than nine thousand dollar millionaires and. billion glued some of the country's leading politicians. every afternoon or cheering sifts through his daily pickings separating food from plastic and metal. is it in the movie. you see these containers and i arrange them on paper on the floor and i employ a guy who comes in on sundays and week days to wash clean and dried my make up with santa monica when they look clean and shiny so people buy them like. it when i got my easy. if i sell these containers today then i might get about three hundred to four hundred shillings on me that's enough to feed my family for today and even tomorrow afternoon before i get back home after work and turn on. not going
anywhere. his income of three or four dollars a day the lip synching over the international poverty line set by the world bank at one dollar and ninety cents. to the united states is not just one of the richest countries in the world it's also home to some of the most glaring inequality as the rich rapidly get richer the poor continue to get poorer. over you know a period thirty eight years now it was massive growth in this country but the bottom fifty percent of americans they did not benefit from that with. the u.s. is now home to almost six hundred billion dollars at the same time about forty million americans live in poverty. in twenty four jean-pierre simmons gave a speech about poverty today united nations on behalf of sure we can k'naan profit recycling center in new york well sure we can is a very unique place when i first came here i was struck here is
a place that opened up the gates i see a community of people they're all working cutting boxes and i looked around and i seen people bringing out fresh home cooked food take trays of it and i said to myself what is this they showed me what to do i thought you just put twenty four bottles in a box no they said you want more money sort them. he began explaining to me who was who that sister is running this place and write the name as well this is such a god. so you're to be in the five senses and you recall that also the dignity and by your each human being each of us can do a lot given the chance i don't think anybody here we can wants to live like wall street people we have reached some way and i think when the person is half the
ability to participate in decision making in managing their own life that this will be the end because. i i. i resilience strength and conviction doesn't depend upon money it depends upon the spirit and i feel from community so there is amazing transformative power lying in many of the world's poorest communities. thousands of traders are set up shop near nairobi's going door and landfill they buy and sell their goods to the garbage pickers break from the dump it's a bustling economy but with very little profit margins. they may both are millions of poor people but there's a huge wealth gap between kenya and the united states takes the average kenyan
twenty years during the equivalent of the average annual income in the us people like me would need the better part of a lifetime the world is more unequal than any one nation within it it's extreme levels of inequality between the poorest nations and the richest and in fact when you look at wealth the cumulation of wealth is rising to a fraction of a global one percent at an extraordinary rate. new york is not just one of the cities with the most billionaires. it's also one of the most wasteful urban centers on earth more trash is produced per capita here than in most other cities. but many of the objects don't belong in the garbage in the first place yes as retired sanitation worker nelson molina can testify if for thirty two years he salvaged treasures from the trash you know to fill a small museum. and you just did you set this all up i set all this up my debts
that's each it yand itself forty seven years old it's said in movie project is oh come on super eight the silver age and i said yes in the original sonny they say we . got feedback. that's it wow this is flight he'll cost throughout everything assistance just and if you give me a three months i can furnish a two bedroom apartment and i'm talking my living room bedroom bathroom everything is all out there when i was a kid my mother always told us if you can use it again you say that. trying to she is part of a professional discipline for anthropologist robin nagel. she also worked as a garbage collector which made her see trash with different dryers. you could almost say trash doesn't exist we could decide it's not trash it's simply
something in between my use and its next use the cultural forces in which many of us exist today tell us to hurry and go faster and do more and never slow down and as long as we keep moving fast we're going to generate lots and lots of trash. food waste as a subcategory of garbage is its own challenge because proximately a quarter of all food in grown produced in the united states never even reaches the table it goes straight into the garbage how that addresses problems of inequality it's getting worse the disparity between the wealthy and people who don't have enough resources to feed their kids across a week right the gap is getting bigger and bigger. and wealthy people not only produce more waste than poor people but also use more of the planet's resources and cause more environmental damage ecological footprint of industrialized countries is much bigger than that in the developing world i think there are two sides to human
prosperity that so simple i have them in my pocket from the one side a b everybody needs to use water housing education health care the basic subsistence of life that each person has a claim to we know these as human rights but at the same time this little blue marble our planetary home we need a stable climate fertile soils healthy oceans a protective ozone layer so we need to and depravation extremes of inequality while creating a sustainable future they go together so beautifully. as per capita kenyans produce just two percent of the c o two generated by americans and use only one hundredth of the electricity. but consumption is growing in kenya to fueled by the man from the rich. on my t.v. my mom watches these t.v.'s and watches are a luxury. but when you have the money you can buy them and feel like everyone else
. is. really not a job i feel relaxed being here in the skin mary marks. but since i walked in i have this feeling of like i am in a place of a different class around. i feel in a place where i'm not supposed to be. and look at the miley but i also deserve to be here. in the news in the i mean a funny. lately i've noticed more shopping malls being built in schools in children's homes in the way i see it they are investing more in malls but in homes hospitals and schools. inequality actually disrupt an economy. an economy that is too unequal is an economy that is not going to do the proper investments in order to for this economy to flourish in the future
of your technician ok new york based artist saul vilinsky has also figured out how to make money out of trash he creates art works using discarded everyday objects like the cans collected by pierre simmons this is trash that the rich are willing to invest in one of vilinsky is works adorns of friends luxury apartment so this is it in the sense for thirty two park avenue. wow. to have to hire. you got a picture. apartments in the manhattan skyscraper sell for between seventeen and ninety five million dollars coming with your cans. all wow ok. what this wanted was has been transformed into what we see now. but it's still a memory of what it was. ok. do you feel any.
bitterness about the fact that you know the residents of this apartment are able to spend you know tens of thousands of dollars on artwork. i don't want to judge them. i don't want to judge them i don't need me that might cross my mind. but it's not been that i'm concerned about i'm glad that they like it and they love your work that they're willing to pay you for and i think you deserve it because that is your soul a genius you know but. i don't concentrate on this. i told him then and him and all the people i don't want to be rich i would love to have the money and the resources of the ridge and then x. me what i said because then i can do things that need to be done in education health care. housing decent housing mental health
services mental health we need we need people i believe america right now is associate pathic society is no love there's no compassion people don't want to hear it. and i think is so soon as you patrick that maybe it's only to privilege ones who could have sensitivity they can look at that and enjoy it i mean treme it's a moment amused by this that our work originates in the gutter and here it is you know in the tallest residential building in the world you know at one of the posses the dresses new york city you know but it comes directly from the gutters of queens and brooklyn you know you look at this something kind of you know this lovely beautiful about the ignored and beautiful. i mean who. the ten square meter room that godwin wrote yang shares with his wife lorna and
their daughter iliana costs about thirty five dollars a month out seeing lives in constant fear of being unable to pay the rent he can't imagine trash as a laundry object he uses it to feed his family and furnish is home. it's hard all these years we've grown up with hardship. i grew up like you and i would like to get away from march again and have a good life and i don't think those in power will help us that when they only think of their own. ok like eric once they have filled their own pockets the rest of us who are poor will just have to struggle through and if you don't struggle you know where you will stay poor and always. who were there are those who have money and those who don't so if you don't have much and you compare yourself with those you do you will get tired so if you don't have much you know it is
better not to stress yourself one day you will make it. the rich don't care about inequality that there is different to any quality and america is growing so far. it's so for at one time one person or for one salary was able to support the whole family it's gone. it's gone disparity between rich and poor they'll try and make you think it doesn't exist when you just do bring these things up the first thing that they'll say is oh
you're talking about class warfare yes i'm talking about class warfare yes i'm the one who goes into the refrigerated is not the. on that one next to. the serious stock exchange is wall street these people on a mission they want more money they want more control there's going to have to be either a great rebellion or great revolution i don't care what is is is that you boycott it you stop watching t.v. . stop stop look at the advertisements stop buying stuff. people in america work to buys stuff. cell phone plants stream t.v. the computers as soon as you take them out of the box. they are obsolete what kind of madness is that.
the pork is just what it is just down to the very core even if one day. everybody get together middle class poor we're not going to work simple is that it would stand by bridges to want to sole control. you could see threatens the wealth of the good function of the current it also threatens the health of the society it also threatens the quality of the democratic institutions and of democratic debate you know wealth is not just wealth. its shares of companies it shares of used papers so it buys you basically social power if this continues. there will be major disruptions.
you know. sergeant john doerr is a youth club here young people meet and sing about life love poverty drugs and violence. oh. yeah they're going about and there is a lot of knowledge in the slum areas here in his name but much of it gets wasted. when they can't make money out of music they switch to selling drugs. and that was in my opinion the government doesn't support young if. a school me my you would. know you might be the one person who tries to help you it's an islam is god we're not yang's role model. who has around us from done what the founder of the youth club wants to radically change in society that. the people can ever lived if so from poverty anybody who is going through what i do question system is i think the
jury of the anybody that is going to have a system most likely come out bad then the life you see so is the world for all this affects so it's organize its life to get informed it's five o'clock to be active so that we get things done i've always these we don't we can't promise our kids anything do i think any quality could ever be a good thing no day has to be we either we're all going to. sail this ship together it was going to sink. in a. new car. where

Business news and analysis.
the book, so maybe the president could be right about that. something that the president knows he's got some backup on when pushing this issue, trish, of immigration and his national security, he was standing there with guiseppe conte, the new prime minister of italy that won office based on wanting to reform italy's immigration laws and tighten border security there. angela merkel, who is not exactly a huge fan of the president, has recently said that germany is going to tighten up its borders as well. so perhaps public sentiment is moving in a direction that the president believes if he were to pull the trigger on a government shut down, might be one that he could benefit from politically. that really would be bucking history, trish. >> trish: thanks, john. the president pushing ahead with his shut down threat despine warnings from gop leaders, especially with the mid-terms coming up around the corner. here with me right now, u.s.a. today congressional reporter elisa cohen. good to have you here.
>> good to be here. >> trish: how serious is the president on this one? >> we really don't know. the president has threatened this before. he's pretty unpredictable. it's a little too close for comfortable for republicans. the government spending deadline is end of september. obviously the mid-terms are in the beginning of november. that's close on a year when they're already fighting against so much. >> trish: you know, typically and john made the point, that afternoon republicans get blamed for shut downs. let's face it, the american public doesn't like it. their anger gets directed at congress and oftentimes towards the party that is in the seat. this time, this is a little different. my question to you is there political motivation? the president says i really want this done and this might galvanize my supporters, my base?
>> that's absolutely what he thinks. it probably will galvanize his supporters and his base. the problem is his supporters and his base are not enough to win an election. the republicans cannot lose his base, so they have to keep them motivated. they need those centrist republicans, the independents who will be turn off or likely in the past have been turned off by government shut downs, but this tough rhetoric on immigration. we saw this summer family separation, which is the trump administration policy, that's been unpopular in both parties, especially for those independents that every time trump is talking about immigration, talking about the wall, it gives democrats the chance to bring back family separation, which they're hoping will turn off sort of the middle voters that republicans need. >> trish: maybe the answer though for those republicans that might have otherwise been on the fence to find a way to get this done and then they don't have the threat of the government shut down because they give him the wall that he has promised to the american people.
what are the odds of that, eliza? >> very low. the numbers are not in their favor. the senate is 51-49. senator mccain has been out. it's basically 50-49. they need 60 votes to pass anything in the senate that won't happen. the house there are enough republicans to move something, but they had a vote or they had two votes earlier this summer. republican-only immigration comprehensive votes. they weren't able to come to an agreement in their party. they're gone all month. so the chances are getting slimmer and slimmer of coming to an agreement, even if that is what trump is urging them to do. >> trish: thanks, eliza. our next guest says the president should play hardball if that's is what is needed to get the wall built. brandon judd is president of the national border patrol council. he joins me now. good to have you here. you wrote an op-ed most recently where you said this is the only
distraction to us so that they can get away and later be reunited, this is an issue that we have to look at. it's a very humane issue. if we build the wall in strategic locations, we can control where illegal immigrant takes place and our country will become a much safer country. it's very necessary. >> trish: i'm going to use economic terms in this argument. in other words, you're trying to create the right kind of incentives and trying to remove incentives for people to come here. if it's that difficult because there's a wall in the way, you're less likely to try to sneak yourself or your child across the border. if you're less likely to do it, 13 your child and yourself are less likely to come into harm via coyotes or anything else is. that your think something. >> we're incentivizing these criminal organizations, this is a multibillion dollar industry. it's a business.
that's what it is. these individuals coming here and asking for asylum, they can do it legally. they can give their credible fear claims. it's the criminal cartels that force these people to cross the border at points other than ports of entry, which then of course drains our resources. again, that's why we need to be able to control where illegal immigration takes place. all you have to do is look at mccallan texas. over the weekend, there was this mast hysteria at a mall where it was thought it was an active shooter situation. the fbi, atf, border patrol, all kinds of law enforcement were called to the mall. turns out that these individuals, they're believed to be illegal aliens that crossed the border illegally. if we would have had a wall, it wouldn't have happened. >> trish: a lot of people would pick that apart and say wall is not going to do it. you need to have a lot more than just the wall. let me get to this for a moment. philadelphia has a mayor there
that is scrapping the skreement that ice has in determines of data sharing. >> we cannot allow this continue. it's abhorrent in 2018, a federal agency engages and practices and targets law-abiding citizens. >> trish: what do you think of that? >> they're not law-abiding citizens. they cross illegally. they have broken our law. everybody will say, well, just the act of crossing the border illegally is a misdemeanor crime. if it's the first time, that's correct. but everything that they do after that, if they get a job, that's illegal. a lot of things happen after the fact that sill legal. they're not law abiding citizens. >> trish: i want to go back to that. i think you hit the nail on the head where you want to destroy incentives for people to come here illegally.
does that mean you need bigger penalties if you come here illegally? there's talks of criminalizing that. >> look in april of 2017. when president trump started talking about the difference sanctions that we're going to put open illegal aliens, the illegal immigration dropped to 45 year low. that is because of the fear if they crossed that would be deta detained.we didn't create policies and operations. if we had the zero tolerance policy in 2017, we wouldn't be discussing this today. >> trish: it's amazing, right? your country. you should have borders. you should know who is coming in and out. the idea that somehow it's considered politically incorrect to ask for that just seems like we're in a pretty strange state right now. final thought hand i have to

>> of course the economy has improved and he would like to take credit for all of that. in the final analysis, when this country feels what has been done with the tax scam and what that will do for our deficit in this country, it's going to be reversed. >> trish: don't you love how maxine waters is a fiscal conservative, concerned about the deficit all of a sudden in tax scam. you heard that one, right? california democratic congresswoman may be down to a maybe on the president's tax cuts. i think not. okay. this coming with massachusetts senator democratic senator elizabeth warren standing by her call there to dump the trump cuts, including a possible hike on top earners. this is what you want to talk about as you head to the mid-terms? you want to talk about taking more of people's paychecks and
spending it via the government? apparently they think so. we're going to christy, emily and natalie. good to see you all. what is really going on here? i just don't get how it's ever helpful to talk about taking people's money and redistributing it. i think it's fundamentally anti-american. you can go all the way back to the founding fathers and the roots of our country. it's not what we're about. the democrats try to sell this wealth distribution. >> that's their vision. not a single democrat offered tax relief. even though it's headed every income ladder in this country. this is a tax cut across every
single income group in the united states. democrats couldn't support it to begin and now they spent every day since then saying if they get power, they want to repeal the tax cuts. they think it's a winning message. let's look at the history here. democrats lost almost 1,000 different seats in state, federal and local elections because they gave that exact same message, which is that they want to take money away from americans and spend it themselves. it's not worked at the polls and has not worked as a policy objective and won't be successful in november. >> trish: so christy, why do the dems keep doing it? >> it's a successful message. i don't see a reason we should concede the tax cuts have been good for the american worker. it hasn't. if you're the ceo of a large corporation, you've gotten a ton of money out of the tax cuts. >> all right. >> the problem is you horded it -- >> trish: i'm going to stop you. >> wages have gone down since
they have been implemented. >> trish: it's not true. wages have gone up and they're continuing to rise. i'm with you. i'd love to see them go up. >> however -- >> trish: they are going up. >> let me also add -- >> trish: did you see the gdp? >> yeah. >> trish: 4.1%. that ain't too shabby. >> have you seen how many jobs we've added to the economy? >> yeah, yeah. super, trish. the problem is -- the bonuses have been incredible anecdotal. across the board most people have not seen any bump up. that's a problem for republicans. they're not feeling it. you can laugh. it's true. >> trish: emily, your thoughts. >> a couple things here. some of these democrats are picking up on public opinion polling. you can argue. there's still mixed on the tax cuts. you can argue it's a communication issue or argue that people aren't feeling the tax cuts.
at the same time, democrats seem to be latching on to this and saying they're going to campaign on this issue of higher taxes. that's never a good campaign strategy whether in california or massachusetts. >> trish: i would agree with you and with emily. i don't think it's a good campaign message, yet it's one that they tried unsuccessfully, although christy disputes that. >> we'll take it under advisement, trish. >> trish: and there may be a reason why one group won and the other didn't and doesn't that come down to issues of the pocketbook? >> right. here's the deal. you can argue that americans are not feeling the tax cut. we know they are. look at the consumer spending numbers. americans have more money and spending more money. it comes in the consumer side, the business side of things. we're seeing investment again from businesses. that's all due to the tax cut and the deregulatory environment. >> it's coming from ceos.
>> trish: let me get christy in here. you say it's just ceos. nobody else is benefitting. >> the very tippy top that use the money in their pockets and spreading it. of course. but if you're not a ceo, a shareholder, no. you're not feeling those effects. so -- >> here's the problems with democrats. every month that say things are getting better for americans and refuse to believe it that will be at their peril in november. >> you're giving good advice here. you know there are ways for you to approach this, i've talked about it before, the blue collar democrat that was once a core of your party, you have lost them. you have lost them because you're not about work right now and keeping what you earn. you're about wealth redistribution and doesn't fly. i have to leave it there.

re-election. we saw judge kavanaugh arrive this afternoon. this is his 39th meeting with a senator since being nominated to the supreme court and first with a democrat. at least two other democrats are expected to meet in august. >> senate republicans are only requesting documents from two of the five years that judge kavanaugh was in the white house. only documents from his time in the white house counsel's office, not his staff secretary. staff secretary was the most senior job that he held. >> a big development came with rand paul said he's a yes on kavanaugh. paul had expressed concerns over privacy issues but today the senator believes that kavanaugh will adhere to the constitution and will take his job to protect individual liberty seriously.
other republicans sound very confident about this nomination. >> when it comes to brett kavanaugh, i have zero doubt that he's going to be on the supreme court before the end of october. he's highly qualified, well-deserving. we're going to break the back of every democratic effort to stop this good man from being on the supreme court. >> that confirmation vote could come weeks before the mid-term elections putting red state democrats squarely on the spot. trish? >> trish: democrats demanding one million documents on judge kavanaugh. is this a delay tactic? let's go to former white house press secretary, ari fleischer to answer that. are they trying to delay? >> of course it's a delay tac c tactic. they want to get it beyond the election. it won't change anything. it's going to be hard to stop brett's nomination. it's a delay tactic but there's
some legitimacy to it in the fact that relevant documents ought to be made public. that is an important part of the senate's process here. advice an consent. when senator schumer said they're not requesting staff secretary documents, if that is right and if that clip is all there's to it, it's a significant concession. staff secretary doesn't weigh-in on policy. he shuffles the papers around so the right papers end up on the president's desk. that's the job. so that caught my area when i heard senator shame e er -- sch say that. three democratic senators that are in an impossible squeeze. joe manchin from west virginia is one of them. if they vote against or treat brett kavanaugh wrong, it will kill them with the republicans in states that trump won.
if they vote for brett kavanaugh, it will kill them with activist and liberal base. >> trish: are they running a political risk by talking to him, looking that they're hearing them out? is that how divided we are? >> no. the political risk is not meeting with him. they're still in this divided country and has to be room for decency and normalcy. >> trish:out think. >> even if the democrats don't like what they see from the trump white house should they continue this game of everybody being more bit tore the point that they don't meet a supreme court nominee? that is not the right way to proceed. so they should hold the meetings and make up their mind. forget the politics. the politics will be so bad either way and do what they think is right from their heart and their gut. >> trish: well, they liked neil gorsuch enough. one would think they would confirm kavanaugh. if you were in the white house right now and trying to handle
the communications side, what would be your message? how would you speed this through if you wanted to get this done before mid-terms? >> well, first put it in the hands of mitch mcconnell. he knows how to do these things. you strongly defer to the senate majority leader as the white house has been dealing. second, reasonableness. there should be procurement of documents. should be a reasonable effort to make the documents available and the white house is doing that. i think they were smart to draw the line at a fishing expedition where the democrats were trying to get the staff documents, which is a way of snooping around to see what else everybody else at the white house was writing that the staff secretary ushered through. so white house is being responsive, but frankly the best thing is brett's character and brett's acumen. that's what is moving this forward. brett has to do a great job when he testifies and i'm sure he
will. >> trish: so what are the odds this gets done before mid-terms? >> well, it's a 51-49 senate. so i'll say the odds of getting it done are 51-49. maybe 50-49. susan collins from maine is essential. if she splits from the republicans, that would require one of those three red state democrats who voted for gorsuch to vote for cavanaugh. >> trish: thanks, ari. president trump trying to bury the hatchet with europe as a trade war breaks out and another u.s. company said there could be price hikes coming. the full value of your new car? you'd be better off throwing your money right into the harbor. i'm gonna regret that. with liberty mutual new car replacement we'll replace the full value of your car. ♪ liberty. liberty. liberty. liberty ♪ you might or joints.hing for your heart... but do you take something for your brain.

their outlook the rest of the year. the tariffs aren't that bad, right? does this show that u.s. companies can actually withstand some of this trade tension right now? i'm bringing in fbn's host of making money and fox news contributor, jessica tarlov. good to see you. >> thanks. >> trish: what do you think? >> when i saw the caterpillar report, not only did they blow away what wall street was going to do. they raised their production. they i'm employeded an extra 10,000 people around the world, including 4, 400 in this country. their profit margins were less than 8% and now on their way to 17%. you have a company in the eye of the storm. they sell a lot of equipment to china. the business held up well. they had enough confidence to raise prices. here's the thing. a certain amount of pain with
everything. but we were reminded between a gdp number friday and caterpillar's earnings that this is the time to fight the fight you do it now. >> trish: i'm glad you said it. i lock at this and i get three little kids. i want to make sure that my kids, your kids, everyone's children and grandchildren have an opportunity at the future. part of that is making sure he oh we're the best copyright now but we want to stay the world's largest economy. we don't allow china to take over that spot. if tariffs will play a role in that, i'm happy to do it. i'd rather fight this now when we have a leg to stand on than 20 years down the road when, you know, we're all speaking mandarin. and china is the next u.s. and we're on our way to being france or something. that is the the reality of this situation. maybe you tell me why i'm wrong. you may not agree. >> i don't think i agree with you on the tariffs.
but we could have this about entitlement reform and education reform, military reform, this cuts across. what charles said about caterpillar can withstand a little of the hurting, coca-cola said they have to raise prices. there's individuals, harley-davidson, they're struggling with the economic choices that president has made. nobody can dispute the 4.1% gdp growth. i'm not sure the tariff war is the way to go here. >> why not? charles, if they're charges a tariff or a tax on our stuff and we're not doing it on their stuff, it's not fair. >> i've been saying it the whole time. i came up as a free market guy and consider myself that. i'm not going to be boxed into a set of rules. i'm wearing my gloves. my opponents have brass knuckles. we have to fight this a smart
way. it's a temporary thing. nobody has come with a solution to get people to the table. we know what the goal is. no tariffs. how do you get them to the table? i would say we have to be careful. there's certain companies like harley. you know, their customers in american america have gone down 50%. coca-cola's sales are down 32%. >> nobody is drinking soda anymore. >> there's individual issues when they pass this on that go beyond tariffs. but it's a wink-wink thing. president trump should articulate to the american public the further this goes along, the more pain there will be. i polled people. it's not scientific. trump voters say they understand that. many say they're willing to skip something at walmart or they're willing to pay the price. >> trish: i believe it. we're patriotic. you think about what our country has been through historically with actual wars. actual wars. if we're talking about a trade war and it means we'll pay more
for the widgets that we buy at walmart, people would take that pain. >> there's a lot of farmers that are trump voters saying that wasn't the pain i thought was coming anyway. a lot of trump voters that packed him that didn't expect that they would have these healthcare woes. the rising costs. he said he would fix that. plenty of trump voters that are not thrilled with the way it's going and all of them are equally patriotic. me as well. just because you don't back the president on all of it, that doesn't say anything about your love for this country. there must be a more balanced way to do it without aggravating our allies. he's inflated trade deficit numbers. he did with it the canadians, he does with it the mexicans. >> trish: there's never an easy way to do this. it's easier to deal with it now while we're the number 1 economy and the biggest consumer of these goods. >> trish: it's the last chance to do it. it's really the last opportunity that we'll have. in ten years and china and india
at the current pace will be the number 1 economies. they'll have over 50% of the gdp. if we don't do it now, we'll never have an opportunity again. >> trish: thanks. cbs is investigating the sexual harassment claims against les moonves. we'll have the latest next. saving you time for what you love most. >> kids: whoa! >> kids vo: ♪ safelite repair, safelite replace ♪

stockholder meeting that was scheduled to happen august 10. the board also will designate a commercial committee to oversee and investigation and hire an outside law firm to probe into moonves' behavior and accusations. missing after this conference call, any further rebuke or statement addressing the scandal. cbs saying in their release "no other action was taken on this matter at today's board meeting." this is the aftermath following a report in the new yorker claiming the head of the company harassed female employees and retaliated against the women that rejected him. the allegations span 21 years, include six women that say that moonves was inappropriate. force said he touched on kissed them. all of them claim when they rejected moonves, their careers took a hit. moonves is denying this saying in a statement "i recognize there were times decades ago when i may have made some women uncomfortable by making
advances. those are mistakes and i regret them." he says he knows that no means no and he has never misused his position to harm or hinder his career. cbs said this morning that an outside attorney has already been reviewed workplace culture in the news division. cbs says some of the claims in the new yorker report have been inclauded in this i don't know going investigation, but the question remains will moonves have to go, trish and if he does, the company will need to figure out who will replace him. >> trish: thanks. the president's war of words with his former attorney dominating the news. where is this head something we're on it for you next. >> a turn coat lawyer a lawyer that deserved to be disbarred for a number of his actions including recording his client clandestinedly. with our largesy of crab all year! like new crabfest combo. your one chance to have new jumbo snow crab

manipulator suggesting that he may have doctored the one reporting we've heard of him and the president. guliani said he defended cohen before knowing what a scoundrel he was and told wallace that he has no credibility left. >> i should say i feel sorry for him but nobody will believe me. he destroyed himself as a witness. i prosecuted 5,000 cases. i would never prosecute his case. >> over the weekend, the president tweeted a screen grab of a michael cohen tweet from last july when he said he was so proud of trump jr. for being open, honest and transparent to the american people, this nonsense needs to stop. the president said you think the fake news media would have a report on this tweet from michael. last week, lanny davis said his client has turned over a new leaf and reminded everyone
guliani himself approved the release of the recording writing mr. guliani seems to be confused. he expressly waived attorney client privilege last week and talked about talked about the recording for hitting all confidentiality. the government has 183 of cohen's recordings according to guliani who says a dozen directly involve the president and all of them will exonerate president trump. >> trish: okay. lots of recording. >> he does. >> trish: thanks, rick. how will it play out? i'm just by doug byrnes, former federal prosecutor. where to start. all right. first of all, this whole idea, the tapes themselves, it's all a question of what is on it. but last time i checked, although it's kind of seedy and none of us like it, it wasn't illegal to pay off a woman that
you had an indiscretion is. >> the point is, you have to differentiate thing that you disagree with, you think it's unseemly very susa crime. the point is, the parent company of the inquirer paid mrs. mcdougal money for her story. okay? the president's team was going to purchase the story. that's not a crime. sounds like i'm being political. it's not a crime. >> trish: let's go to the russian lawyer then. >> yes. >> trish: junior took a meeting with the russian lawyer. is this a crime? there's many, by the way, that say total collusion. this is the smoking gun we're looking for. they have this meeting. he must have colluded with the russians. >> it's fascinating to watch the one-liners go back and forth. that's the difference between the courtroom and the media. everybody says collusion is not a crime. they're correct. look through the code book as major guliani says.
i can't find it. the comebacker is, it could be a conspiracy charge. let me translate that. if money changes hands, people are being bribed, things like that, yeah, can it be a crime. it's like saying somebody robbed a bank. it's a crime. i'm being sarcastic. the fact of the matter is, collusion is an anti trust term. because -- >> trish: a wrong term. >> by the way, minor point, in reverse, the democrats tried to get -- they just say opposition research. it's done all the time. >> and they paid for it. they went on to foreign soil and paid for it. >> it's laughable for them to have this famed outrage. you took a meeting. meanwhile, they sold the meeting like dangling the idea that it was about hillary clinton. it wasn't. it's overblown. >> trish: i know you have a legal background. i spoke with a former
intelligence official recently. he had a very interesting point. there might be something to this. he said listen, putin is no dummy. he gets how the intel community works. do you think that he would have deliberately had this woman go waltzing in trump tower with the security cameras, the e-mails, if they wanted to infiltrate the campaign, it would have been done in a more covert way. his theory is that putin is out there dangling this for the media and politicians to pick up. >> it's mixing apples and oranges. the russians have been involved with this for a long, long time. transcends political lines. what a brilliant scheme. what they did is, they managed to have him win the electoral college and lose the popular vote. unbelievable the way they did that. isn't that amazing?
>> trish: that said, the president president is looking in aggressively on what we can tell in the meetings happening and into what kind of attempts were made to influence our election. but that's very different. the interference versus collusion. >> two different issues. did the russians take certain actions? buy ads and so on. the other thing what did the trump campaign have to do with it. people have been aggressive saying they turned up no evidence. it's true. the counter volley back? it's not over. have to let it run its course and goes on and on. >> trish: is trump jr. in any kind of trouble because he made have lied underest about that meet something. >> any criminal defense later said i didn't tell him. somebody else did. >> trish: more after this. so you have, your headphones, chair,
and now these papers are coming out and of course if you look at the british press there is a certain amount of panic and brussels they just look on and said all right they need to compromise if they will still want a deal and so far we don't see anything now both sides seems to be taking in the perspective to hope for the best prepare for the worst we heard you can break that secretary there early you're a democrat expressing optimism that a deal will still be reached between the u.k. and the e.u. from brussels perspective where you are do you think that optimism is well founded . in brussels the position is that they can't really move much more than they have already moved there is still the willingness to do the deal was britain but certain things that treason may once cannot be done a customs union for instance that's not really a customs union particularly deal for good stead cross borders on and not
controlled and so on and so forth there's a whole range of things that reason may can't move on and that brussels says she needs to move on and so they totally at caltech purposes and no side can really sort of let go of their principles and what happens in a case like that and this is what really dominic rop was talking about things go badly in the end everybody sort of slams the doors and then we'll see and then emergency contingency plans of course come into play and we've seen this first set of today and barbara u.k. abridgement secretary of dominic robert sure britons that they would continue to enjoy their bacon lettuce and tomato sandwiches no matter what what brussel stand in the way of a british b.l.t. sandwich in the event of a new deal it might indeed it might indeed because what will happen is that there might be some rather wilted lettuce and tomatoes in the scent but after they've been sitting in a spanish truck and call a in the hopper for three days so britain might as well have to sort of return to
homegrown delights and probably probably consider something like a corned beef and cabbage sandwich are you know their creativity to be let loose at this point but it's an indication of what really is at stake here and of course seriously british business is quite blurry it. barbara starr reporting from brussels thank you. all right let's bring you up to speed now with some of the other stories making news around the world. protesters have marched in downtown nairobi kenya to demand the release of an opposition lawmaker in neighboring uganda protesters put out the call to see bobby wine a pop star turned lawmaker who opposes the long time ugandan president one was charged with treason and a civilian court on thursday. house there were a hundred children who crossed into bangladesh without parents were orphaned by

regions that explored billions worth and products to china one of them is the city of wichita the brookings institution says no other metro area in the u.s. is being impacted more by the u.s. china trade routes you know he's always on a phenomena visit which is tom and filed this report. from handrails an ally for the invasion industry. and his driver own two sister companies in wichita that over a wide range of an aluminum front however since have been strong decisions it's becoming more and more difficult for the brothers to calculate their contract big impact for us we're dealing in about six months we're now about if. we didn't affect our market but we have to be very careful in how we get projects to get a project let's say in january and then goes up thirty percent by march in your bid

conservative state for now many manufacturers here say they're holding their own but with one in four dollars in which the us economy coming from exports to tariffs are expected to have a huge impact an estimated twenty thousand jobs are at stake and at the moment it's the farmers who are paying the biggest toll one of them is keith miller at third generation farmer he's been in the red for the last two years now he's afraid of losing china as the mob could run despite the fact that he saw it beings are doing just fine. current prices that we are receiving are and you are from a dollar to two dollars less than there was three months ago and it's cause enough for her real concern whether we're going to be able to get those prices back in the near future and we're we're definitely worried about the worth of the income is going to come to the fore nevertheless keith miller still
supports. his the first president fighting for you ask interests he says the farmer hopes that trump can strike a deal with china and most of all miller hopes that this will happen soon. and also the trial resumed today of the captain of a german aid ship detained after rescuing migrants in the mediterranean but the hearing lasted just a few minutes before being delayed once again for procedural reasons and late june the crew of the lifeline spent six days at sea with over two hundred thirty refugees on board it leaves new government closed its force through the ship eventually allowed the lifeline to dock but only after several countries agreed to take in a share of the refugees maltese authorities then impounded the ship and charged its captain klaus pitts a harsh with failing to properly register the vessel while irish insists he's done nothing wrong and says he hopes the trial will not drag on much longer we met up
with him at his home in southern germany klaus peter highish had a comfortable life and bavaria he has a nice house and runs a successful small business but did not want to be complacent so he became a captain aboard a search and rescue ship in the mediterranean and that is now why he is facing legal proceedings in malta. of course this is an unpleasant situation but i go to court with my head held high i have to say we didn't do anything wrong on the contrary we saved people's lives and i gladly take responsibility for this. at the end of june and his crew aboard the ship lifeline rescued more than two hundred thirty refugees after that their own odyssey began the lifeline was not allowed to dock anywhere and instead had to sail aimlessly for days it ended up in malta where the ship was impounded it was taken in for questioning by police the
accusation the vessels papers were not in order to. it's very strange that we're not talking about saving people's lives right now but instead about the boats registration which is supposedly not valid this would mean we could not sail under the dutch flag even though it very clearly states this on the certificate flag dutch home port amsterdam. at home in bavaria klaus peter uses his time between court appearances to keep in touch with his network of supporters. a lawyer you akim fella is providing legal advice. feller cannot comprehend that rescuers are being treated like criminals. this stuff that as a lawyer i thought well this case is very unusual a person was rescued people at sea has been detained. for a very dubious reasons in my view smith's. body shining.
lives in an affluent town in one of germany's wealthiest regions the refugee dramas of the mediterranean seem far away although klaus gets a lot of sympathy here for his work he sometimes has difficult conversations. here now is this is what i experienced at an ice cream parlor a man made me ask him if he favored letting people drowned and then he said yes if he were the captain he would simply run over people in the city. you can't reason with someone like that at the thought of i thought of god. before his next court appearance. is working on a mini bus that was donated for his team and the activists are now collecting donations for a new ship they do not want to wait until authorities release the lifeline together
political life as senior ministers deserve him and contest his leadership but he says he will quit politics if his liberal party no longer supports him in a second leadership vote on friday the government has suspended parliament to try to resolve this crisis no australian prime minister has succeeded in serving a full three year term in over a decade. let's bring in australian journalist roger maynard for more on this good morning roger is australia on the verge of getting a new prime minister it certainly seems that way it's very likely that australia will have the new i mean but tomorrow let alone one hundred percent. depends on whether a lot illusion for a spill succeeds tomorrow if that does happen then nothing to the prime minister said he will resign and he will stand down and open the way flora here's
a is near misses to stand along with also be two other candidates the treasurer scott morrison and possibly the foreign minister julie bishop so it's all up at the moment very very undecided about exactly what's going to happen but humans are likely to be an interesting day to say the least ok roger what prompted all of this what was there a galvanizing issue. well the brahmanist has been on the outer if you like in the past few months now he's full and dramatically in the opinion polls and so has his party the liberal party that's partly because of the government's an energy policy prime minister up turnbull is seen as a center left if you are going and some people say he has more in common with the opposition labor party than he does with his own conservatives and he's very supportive of the climate change action mission targets and that has coincided with
a dramatic increase in energy prices here in australia almost over the past year and a lot of people are rightly that and that's what the criticism and his a slump in the opinion poll as of late ok well let's take a listen to how now to what prime minister turnbull had to say about what's going on. the reality is that a minority in the party room. supported by. others outside the parliament have sort through. bullied intimidate others into. making this change of leadership that they're seeking. ok allegations there of bullying of intimidation why are australian part of politics so turbulent. well i suppose it's partly because of israeli and generally pretty cynical about their politicians they're disillusioned
with most political parties and that's right what one of the reasons why many prime ministers don't stay in power for their long we've had eight or sort of fall from ministers in the process eighty years one of them sir twice but that's an indication of you know how cynical people are about politicians and how that they simply don't trust them and whether or not you you take malcolm turnbull's word for it a lot you know he's i was thinking from his his own viewpoint there but generally speaking the electorate don't really have much time for either the liberal or labor party roger maynard for us are from sydney today roger thanks for bringing us up to date i grimaced. well mark is here now at the business desk because just a few hours ago the u.s. slapped a twenty five percent tariff on sixteen billion dollars worth of chinese imports and of course it's the second round off a tariff there against china and because donald trump and his administration says there are unfair practices from beijing that need to be punished and of course
china responded immediately as it announced also with some three hundred american products ok and all that means tough times ahead for american regions that export billions and products to china take the city of wichita for example in kansas according to the brookings institution no other metro area in the u.s. is being impacted more by the u.s. china trade dispute alexander phenomena visited wichita to find out what business people there are saying in the american heartland. from handrails and. john hood and his brother own the company in which that hope for a wide range of aluminum however should trump decision it's becoming more and more difficult for the brothers to calculate their contract big impact here for a deal in about six months now but if. we didn't affect our market
we had to be very careful and we did project to give it a project let's say in january and then it goes up thirty percent by march in your bid is not very good anymore and i'm going to hurt a lot tear of our taxes on imports and exports says karen paige c.e.o. and president of kansas global partners one twenty five years he's been working to help local companies to improve their position in global markets now she has to deal with more and more businesses suffering from trade policies it we're hearing from companies they they may have to lay off people they can only. so or you know the head on their profit margins for so long and then they'll not be competitive that competitive they can't south they can't sell they have to lay off. according to a recent analysis which should tell with its focus on aerospace manufacturing and agriculture more exposed to chinese terrorists than any other us metro area but it's not easy
to find business people ready to talk about that some of them it's off camera that they don't want to be seen to contradict president in this deeply conservative state for now many manufacturers here say they're holding their own but with one in four dollars in which the us economy coming from exports to tariffs are expected to have a huge impact an estimated twenty thousand jobs are at stake and at the moment it's the farmers who are paying the biggest toll one of them is kids the male are at third generation farmer he's been the rat for the last two years now he's afraid of losing china as the market dropped despite the fact that he soybeans are doing just fine. her prices are we are receiving are and you are from a dollar to two dollars less than there was three months ago and it's called. her real concern whether we're going to be able to get those prices back in
the near future and we're we're definitely worried about the worth of the income is going to come to the fore nevertheless keith miller still supports. his the first president fighting for you ask interests he says the farmer hopes to try him can strike a deal with china and most of all hopes that this will happen soon. well before the u.s. and china can strike any kind of deal those tariffs are causing ripples certainly on stock markets monica what's been the reaction of the markets of course that we can see reacting our asian markets and stocks in shanghai hong kong and shane say in slipped in early afternoon i'll be you know dramatic reactions as those tariffs were expected of course hong kong's hang seng for example was down more point seven percent shanghai indices lost more point three percent but the chinese commerce
a trade perspective and this isn't having a knock on effect in terms of the companies reinvesting into their businesses and this could have a knock on effect in terms of productivity growth so there were chinese government is calling this in or aware of this issue which again bring it back to the point why why we do think that they could be a resolution sooner rather than later and just very very briefly catherine from your perspective which side is more interested in resolving the dispute. i think both sides are and when we look at the the sectors of the industries that the americans have so far been really targeting it's very much the industries that a comment about a change that internet related industries and again that's why with likely that the resolution could come in terms of more old economy china which again is energy related so we wait for the americans because of the deal being struck in china giving in to the americans and for china we do have a lack of energy sometimes from a seasonal perspective so be a win for them too right cats if again very busy days right now in washington d.c.
president trump has accused his former lawyer michael cohen of lying under pressure from prosecutors investigating campaign finance violations the white house is grappling with the allegations the president orchestrated an illegal cover up to buy the silence of two women who claimed he had affairs with them now as a result the president is confronting mounting legal and political threats. in his guilty plea michael cohen to admitted to violating campaign finance laws during the twenty sixteen u.s. presidential election he said he was instructed by a candidate's understood to be tunneled trump to make payments to two women to finance their obligations they had extramarital affairs with trump in an interview and fox news trump denied breaking the law. did they come out of the campaign they didn't come out of the campaign they came for me and i did about it you know i put i don't know if you know but i tweeted. about the payments but they didn't come out
of campaign fact my first question when i heard about it was did they come out of the campaign because that could be a little dicey and the line out of the white house is clear. as the president said we've stated many times he did nothing wrong there are no charges against him he did nothing wrong there are no charges against him in the us he did nothing wrong there are no charges against us congress which wales as much authority is the executive branch at least on paper may see things differently impeachment becomes a possibility when this evidence of what the us constitution calls high crimes and misdemeanors but no make is a treading carefully prepared i just don't think that engaging in speculation is the way to go and certainly i think impeachment talk is something that is not something we should be engaging in right now i don't think i've witnessed anything like witness over the last year and. probably the american people haven't in modern times if there weren't people in our view of your show you wouldn't expect
me to. to make it be sitting on impeachment and do you hear what the house of representatives very do that's because it's the house that votes to open an impeachment trial which then takes place in the senate republicans control both houses of congress that might be of some comfort to trump but by no means office total security. we want to talk now for some of the other stories making the news today the democratic national committee in the u.s. an attempted hack into its voter database has been thwarted now this comes two years after russian operatives hacked into d.n.c. computers during the presidential election facilitating the release of tens of thousands of emails it's not known who was behind this latest hacking attempt. half the or hinge of children crossed into bangladesh without parents were orphaned by violence of me in march it was previously thought that they had simply been separated from their living parents now this new finding by the charity save the
children comes one year since me and more began forcibly expelling seven hundred thousand one hundred muslims. the leader of so-called islamic state appears to have resurfaced after more than a year recording from here although gaddafi has been released by the group the secretive i as leader has been reported killed or wounded a number of times the authenticity and date of the latest recording have not verified. the german chancellor angela merkel begins a trip to three former soviet republics today georgia armenia and azerbaijan have all been caught up in ethnic conflicts and territorial disputes security issues will be on those agenda as well as political and economic ties to are just keen to join the european union and nato that for protection from its much larger neighbor russia the chancellor's first stop will be the georgian capital tbilisi earlier this year demonstrations in that city exposed deep divisions in georgian society
thousands took to the streets in protest after police raided a number of night clubs searching for drugs the city's community spearheaded the push back calling for a more liberal society. sure one takes a closer look. this is the soundtrack for social change in georgia. techno clubs like he did. part of a movement pushing for bt rights and to ease the country's unusually strict drug laws there islands of freedom in a conservative post soviet society. club culture is growing very fast but. the years to change the mentality of the people who. many. people like.
strange. don't deserve to be part of this society so. change. trying to change that. dancing became political in may after armed georgian police raided two of to be most renowned clubs gallery and looking for drug dealers in response to what many saw as the heavy handedness of authority these hundreds took to the streets to protest the government and to fight for progressive values by down say. gay rights activists live on video need to organize the regular night at one of the clubs that was raided he says the community often faces abuse and violence in georgia and that's why they are a key group in the push for a more liberal society community as well as other groups have enjoyed by see any as a safe space as a space where they can enjoy a very quality freedom. which is quite lacking outside of.
those club scenes it's very conservative site and though the club rates for presenting this threat to the safe environment. georgia. is to be at a crossroads between its past and its future but conservative forces including the georgian orthodox church are also very powerful in the country and in recent years several nationalist groups of appeared on the georgian political scene. i. mean he is a musician and he's also the co-founder of the ultra nationalist movement georgian march which has rallied crowds against migrants and for what he calls traditional family values. me feels georgia is losing its national identity to western liberal values. we want to know why pushing towards why are we rushing
towards darkness where we can see anything. saying georgia is european country is absurd this is the caucasus country. at the bottom of. a candidate from georgia in march will be running in georgia's presidential elections in october but with different groups and generations pulling the country in different directions it will likely take much longer for georgia's future to take shape. we have some football news now and for the very first time in the fee for corruption scandal a major figure in international football has been sentenced to jail sentence being handed down in a new york courtroom yok speight did abuse forces here to talk about it yeah this is a watershed moment for what happened yes so this is the former head of brazilian football joe samaria marine and he's been sentenced to four years in jail on corruption
charges and stems from an investigation led by u.s. authorities which started almost three years ago but we have a report to give us a bit more background information on this particular case. just say maria marine until his conviction and u.s. court in december spent a lot of time moving between his temporary digs at new york's trump tower and a federal courthouse that ended with guilty verdicts on six counts related to taking over six million dollars in bribes while handing out broadcast and marketing rights for major soccer tournaments. the former head of brazilian soccer marine was one of the qadri of men at the top of the sport's governing body. on a cold december morning near feed his headquarters in zurich in two thousand and fifteen swiss and u.s. investigators coordinated a raid on a luxury hotel. marine and a handful of other futile power brokers were arrested some extradited to the u.s.
it was an exclamation point to the corruption crisis at fever. the fever corruption case ranks as one of the largest criminal prosecutions by the u.s. in recent years with some forty defendants most foreign nationals half of them have pleaded guilty marine did not. nor did codefendant one and held up coat of paraquat who once was head of south american soccer he'll be sentenced next week almost certainly to prison based on the judge's comments for taking over ten million dollars in bribes himself. this was one of the biggest u.s. court prosecutions in years this must be terribly significant for its present and its future yeah it's massive i mean it's the biggest investigation into full stop the allegations. really allegations of corruption largely revolved around bribery now in football big contracts are awarded to media organizations for the rights to
broadcast football tournament so we're talking millions if not billions of dollars here and these officials were accused of taking bribes to ensure certain media organizations won those lucrative contracts so that's what we're looking at here forty two people weren't dictated and we saw marine has been jailed the first high profile official to be jailed and perhaps the pope will follow next week ok how did this all unfold what happened to bring all this to light yes so i mean the the investigation from u.s. authorities started almost three years ago when they charged through the rick hotel and this really took faith by surprise no one before had really tried to interfere with the way faith does a business and from this stems an internal investigation by faith as ethics committee and from that sepp blatter was banned from play for eight years on different charges. and then new president johnny infantino came in and he came in
on a promise to clean up football's governing body ok everyone's looking at him right now in france to see if he will do that job thanks so very much for that. it is being hailed as a giant leap forward for weather forecasting after sixteen years of intensive planning testing and construction a new satellite was sent into orbit last night to monitor when systems around our planet. begin to see the satellite was launched from the european space agency's spaceport in french yeah it's been named eolus after the keeper of the winds in greek mythology scientists hope the data collected will help more accurately predict extreme weather and climate change. more joins me from leipzig he's a mere all just at the library institute for research good morning to you. can we have our weather forecast to be more accurate from now on when it says it's going
to rain well yes i can give the d.j.'s yes because wind is one of the fundamental part of me just as a model need proof and they don't have it their profiles are given for ten percent of the glow person needed for the whole globe will work and i almost as i love the laser will provide solace. picture since it always a go and that makes it into predictions cannot be business and you also nation so if you're also nations a prediction will be much better and you look ok the predictions can only be as good as the observations but how can this satellite measure wind on our planet when the satellites out in space. yeah so if you have some of the minutes i can explain but i have to make sure my short version so this. yes so this is in line does this laser dispersion firing positives and say gold was a on the way to the us this kind of makes some light from arrows or skull
procreates ice just inspectors a satellite and from that get a good picture of the back scatter answer tricky thing this jets is able to see even to movement of the passes so not only is it content even movement and then it's easy to translate this information in wind speed and direction that's a simple trick ok that sounds that sounds good but will this technology help us tackle climate change and extreme weather the type we've been seeing in the summer i guess savior for this question because it's not only major one in climatology it's really since this laser is this is everything it is tacit cease fire small from california all those who are also world sees clouds everything and we get much much better picture on all of the interaction between pollution resorts crowds presentation and we will do that all over the lot in the pool our regions in the top leagues and simulators so it i'm sure that will be a big big big step forward for the next three years with our science albert on xmen
thanks so much for breaking down what eolus will be doing for us from leipzig joining us this morning saying you're. let's give you a modern now some of the top stories we're following for you australia's prime minister malcolm turnbull this claims of power and this calls for his from his own party for him to resign turnbull says so quit if his labor party no longer supports him and his second leadership vote that's on friday no australian prime minister has served a full three year term in over a decade. and the u.s. and china have slapped a new round of tariffs on each other both targeting sixteen billion dollars of goods u.s. and chinese officials are holding talks in washington to diffuse this escalating trade dispute. this is deja vu news live from berlin thanks so much for being with us.
sleep on. this week on conflicts the limits of school to expose you not secondly follow. minister to gary has been among the politicians searching for a common you approach on the question of law migration as a compromise has been found is a fair deal for everybody conflicts. in sixty minutes. lehman brothers ten years on a story of ambition greed and megalomania. we are so clever the medium control the rich but it's one. of investment bankers on top of her or so with her stock. everybody was wrong the wanted to ignore the reality of

seen that same kind of evidence in this attack investigators are currently saying that this attack was likely a family dispute the suspect has been convicted of apology of terrorism twenty sixteen and he had been flagged for as a potential terror threat to be monitored but when the and when the police intervened in today's attack the assailant is alleged to have said i will work bar but as i said investigators are saying that it was more likely to be a family dispute and you did more about fred this attack took place and what kind of a suburb is it. certainly i wouldn't call traps necessarily a highly sensitive target for terrorists attacks somewhere about thirty kilometers west of paris it's a very low income area surrounded by very wealthy towns like that about half of traps thirty thousand residents are younger than twenty five and unemployment there is very high at twenty percent which is about double the national average but
they're all saying. from the handrails an ally for the invasion industry. and he brought her own two sister company in with that over a wide range of heel and aluminum however should have been strong decision it's becoming more and more difficult for the grabbers to calculate their contract big impact for us we're dealing in about six months we're not. we didn't affect our market but we have to be very careful to project you get a project let's say in january and then it goes up thirty percent by march and your bid is not very good in the morning and heard the terror of taxes on imports and exports says karen page c.e.o. and president of kansas global one twenty five years she's been working to help local companies to improve their position in global markets now she has to deal
with more and more businesses suffering from problems treat. it we're hearing from companies that they may have to lay off people they can only absorb you know the head on their profit margins for so long and then they'll not be competitive they're competitive they can't sell they can't sell they have to lay off. a court. going to have recent analysis wichita with its focus on aerospace manufacturing and agriculture more exposed to chinese terrorists than any other u.s. metro area but it's not easy to find business people ready to talk about that some admit off camera that they don't want to be seen to contradict presidents trump in this deeply conservative state for now many manufacturers here say they're holding their own but with one in four dollars in which this economy coming from exports to tariffs are expected to have a huge impact an estimated twenty thousand jobs are at stake and at the moment it's the farmers who are paying the biggest toll one of them is keith miller at third
generation farmer he's been the rep for the last two years now he's afraid of losing china as the market dropped despite the fact that he soybeans are doing just fine. current prices that we are receiving are in you're from a dollar to two dollars less than there was three months ago and it's cause enough for her real concern whether we're going to be able to get those prices back in the near future and we're we're definitely worried about were the interim is going to come to the fore nevertheless keith miller still supports. his the first president fighting for you ask interests he says the farmer hopes that trump can strike a deal with china and most of all hopes that this will happen soon.
in the u.s. and president donald trump has accused his former lawyer michael cohen of lying under pressure from prosecutors investigating campaign finance violations the white house is grappling with allegations the president orchestrated an illegal cover up to buy the silence of two women who claimed he had friends with them as a result the president is confronting mounting legal and political threats. in his guilty plea michael cohen admitted to violating campaign finance laws during the twenty sixteen u.s. presidential election he said he was instructed by a candidate it understood to be tunneled trump to make payments to two women to finance their allegations they had extramarital affairs with trump in an interview on fox news trump tonight breaking the law. they came for me and. i don't know. about that. but they didn't come out of campaign my first question when i heard about it was
come out of the campaign because that could be a little bit. and the white house is clear. as the president said we've stated many times he did nothing wrong there are no charges against him he did nothing wrong there are no charges against him in the us he did nothing wrong there are no charges against him congress which will do as much authority is the executive branch at least on paper may see things differently impeachment becomes a possibility when there's evidence of what the us constitution calls high crimes and misdemeanors but no make is a treading carefully. and i just don't think that engaging in speculation is the way to go and certainly i think impeachment talk is something that is not something we should be engaging in right now i don't think i've witnessed anything like what in this over the last year and. probably the american people haven't in modern times if there weren't people in rb a juror so you wouldn't expect peter. to make
it be sitting on impeachment and do you hear what the house of representatives very do that's because it's the house the votes to open an impeachment trial which then takes place in the senate republicans control both houses of congress that might be of some comfort to trump but by no means office total security here. let me now bring you up to date with some other stories making news around the world the democratic national committee in the us is an attempted hack into its voter database has been thwarted this comes just two years after russian operatives hacked into democratic party computers during the presidential election facilitating the release of tens of thousands of emails it's not known who was behind this latest hacking attempt. how after reading the children who crossed into bangladesh without parents often by violence in myanmar it was previously thought
minimize the potential impact britain's exit from the block as you take place in march next year. let me draw an correspond kitty logan from london kitty one does the british government hope to achieve by publishing this no deal advice. well forensic medicine is speaking now and this is essentially a message of reassurance if you like to the public to industry and finance that should britain exit the e.u. without a deal that there will be possibility even the u.k. to still train to he insists in his speech that britain must all go from strength to strength if there is no deal but and this is a bit he says that is an extremely unlikely so he's very much trying to calm nerves thing that britain is letting to end up with a deal with the e.u. but should that not happen that it's not the end of the world that there will be trading possibilities for the u.k. and how great is the concern in britain that the u.k. will leave the european union without finalizing a settlement there is
by. others outside the parliament have sought to bully intimidate others into. making this trying leadership that they're seeking. but obviously if people do want to. conduct an internal insurgency they're very hard to stop so we will have to let the democratic process play out. that was from the american turnbow german chancellor angela merkel begins a trip to three four months of it republics today georgia media and john have all been caught up in ethnic conflicts and territorial disputes security issues will be on america's agenda as well as political and economic ties georgia is keen to join the european union and nato for protection from its much larger neighbor russia
america's first stop will be the georgian capital tbilisi earlier this year demonstrations in the city exposed deep divisions in society thousands took to the streets in protest after police raided several nightclubs searching for drugs the city's community spearheaded the push back calling for a more liberal society did the obvious emily show and takes a closer look. this is the soundtrack for social change in georgia. techno clubs like he did b.b.c. are part of a movement pushing for rights and to ease the country's unusually strict drug laws they're islands of freedom in a conservative post soviet society. club culture is growing very fast but. the years to change the mentality of the people who.
a more liberal society the community as well as other groups have enjoyed by c.n.n. yes a safe space as a space where they can enjoy solitary quality freedom. which is outside the and in those clubs seems. very conservative sides and though the club rates for presenting this threat to the safe environment georgia appear. as to be at a crossroads between its past and its future but conservative forces including the georgian orthodox church are also very powerful in the country and in recent years several nationalist groups have appeared on the georgian political scene. as a musician and he's also the co-founder of the ultra nationalist movement georgian march which has rallied crowds against migrants and for what he calls traditional
family values that she believes feels georgia is losing its national identity to western we're both values. we want to avoid pushing towards why are we rushing towards darkness where we can't see anything. saying georgia is european country is absurd this is the caucasus country. at the start of. a candidate from georgia in march will be running in georgia as presidential elections in october but with different groups and generations pulling the country in different directions it will likely take much longer for georgia's future to take shape. monica joins me now and we return to this tit for tat tat of imposition of tears with the u.s. and china washington and beijing don't really see eye to eye or they do and in another way amrita because china says it's lapping retaliatory terrorists on sixteen billion dollars worth of u.s.
goods this of course after the latest round of u.s. tariffs on chinese exports went into effect this morning in response to what the trump administration calls beijing's unfair trade practices act the hot off this dispute is china's largest expansion of its tech sector the so-called made in china twenty twenty five plan is meant to catapult the world's second biggest economy from the world's sweatshop to a global technology hop. the world's work bench no more instead chinese internet giants like search machine baidu tech investor ten cent and online retailer ali baba and the leading global innovators they've risen from start ups to multi-billion dollar. albeit with considerable state backing subsidies cheap loans restrictions on foreign competitors copying copyrighted technologies it's no holds barred as china zeroes in on becoming the world's leading industrial economy. the
successes of this state controlled economy are impressive gross domestic product has expanded at a breathtaking rate and it's rapidly closing in on current number one the u.s. . beijing's made in china twenty twenty five program is aimed at finally transforming the huge country into a global economic power. ten key industries including aviation railways and electric autos will get privileged state treatment foreign imports will be made superfluous china would rather export to the world. the us is not the only major economy getting worried. just recently germany prevented chinese investors from taking a stake in power grid operator fifteen. the u.s. is now restricted technology exports to china. and many say the us penalty turfs on chinese products well as a response to illegal state subsidies by beijing and more
a last desperate attempt by the americans to stop china taking the technological lead. stock market shrugged off this latest round of tit for tat terrorist so a second look at europe and standing by is done in frankfurt. investors at all concerned about this ongoing trade. while the trade conflict in general is the number one topic here at the exchanges all around here all of this has been going on for weeks in this scenario i have to tell you that investors were not that surprised that's why we don't see a major reaction here at the stock market the roots of it next are pretty much cannot really decide in which direction should it go we have been in the green we have been in the rapture day a similar situation also when you take a look at the cac forty in paris as the mines are rick and forty one hundred and london there is quite some volatility but the market can't really decide what to
make of those latest news from washington and china well of talking of indecision here's a story i would like to discuss with you in just a moment saudi arabia says it's still committed to floating shares in the world's biggest company but the country's oil minister says it will sell a stake in state owned oil giant saudi aramco quote at a time of its own choosing plans to do so with first announced in twenty sixteen with regard to predicting the sale of a around five percent of the company which would be valued at two trillion dollars or war but there have been signs of cold feet amid doubts over whether around coal would meet its price target and help. cohen is to undergo regulatory scrutiny saudi arabia has now reportedly scrapped the i.p.o. and disbanded to the financial advice is working on it. right back to don you're caught in frankfurt i don't know about you but i'm confused is saudi arabia going
to float around cool or not. you know we're confused here as well the latest news that we're getting this morning that it is not cancelled this i.p.o. this mega i view of this would have been the biggest i.p.o. in history that it's only deal eight and yes you mentioned that they are not sure if they can get the money they want to get from this i p o we are hearing that they would like to make five percent off the company public and they want to make one hundred billion u.s. dollars with this and saudi arabia of course is a country that needs a plan b. for the future when those massive oil reserves off the country at one point won't exist anymore all of this pretty much cannot have to do anything with the current oil price that we're seeing at the moment oil has been going up this year just this year by twelve percent so in general the market conditions for this i.p.o. are actually not looking bad let's see if they will change their mind in the next
weeks ago yes we will keep an eye on that one don you quote in frankfurt thank you so much. counterproductive and senseless that's how russian president vladimir putin labels the latest tranche of u.s. sanctions against russia which have now come into effect officials in moscow say they're bracing for lower growth and a week of ruble as a direct result until now the kremlin dismissed the big falls in the currency as market volatility not anymore. this russian reporter is saying that the u.s. has now banned exports of gas turbines to russia along with key items for the aviation industry like jet engines and electronics. until now the kremlin has been demonstrably on ruffled by u.s. sanctions especially since an earlier round had long reduced trade in military goods. but the mere announcement of this list so in stocks in large state owned
companies tumbling on the moscow stock exchange. flag carrier aeroflot slid twelve percent of the beginning of august when the sanctions were decided. on the ruble exchange rate has dropped sharply in recent weeks foreign minister sergei lavrov has outraged simple your song so it's quite obvious that these sanctions have nothing to do with syria ukraine or crimea. they're being used to enforce unfair trading conditions or to hobble the russian economy. a further round of sanctions lined up for november could target banks u.s. russian air links imports and exports and diplomatic relations. they would hit russia's six largest state controlled banks as well as the country's entire oil and gas industry all of which would have dire effects on the russian economy. will pay around seven million dollars in compensation following

the rules do not cover and traffic however airplanes would not be permitted to fly from the u.k. into e.u. airspace and vice versa that would have a knock on effect disrupting the delivery of food stuffs britain imports thirty percent of its produce from the e.u. u.k. supermarkets could feel the pinch rob was eager to allay fears of a food shortage critically important issue so let me assure you that contrie to one of the wall the claims you will still be able to enjoy b.l.t. of the brics it and there are no plans to deploy the army to maintain food supplies . health care services and the finance sector could also be his british citizens living in the european union could lose access to their u.k. bank accounts should recognise that rob is sticking to his daniel tammet mantra adamant that the u.k. is ready for bracks with or without a deal very much. all right let's pull in our correspondent bob of angel she joins
no deal and that is something that is a thought that british the british government nobody really seem to entertain now finally they get into gear to make contingency or to say emergency plans and so brussels of course gets the feeling that yes they're looking at reality now and they might then and the next step may be ready to move again and it's hard to understand the reasoning isn't it if you've always breaks it with a new deal is not an option why would you even publish these guidelines to begin with but despite that you've got the u.k. brits and secretary dominic robb saying he's optimistic that a deal will be reached from brussels perspective from where you're city do you think this kind of optimism that we're hearing in london is well founded. optimism is certainly misplaced because from the e.u. perspective what needs to be and what needs to happen is that the british side
needs to move again the reason may has put her latest proposal on the table before the summer and that's the so-called checkers paper is something she cooked up with her cabinet in her country seat checkers and the e.u. side looked at it and said what she says about friction is traffic customs union and a market for goods that is not palatable to us we can do that that is against our rules so brussels is waiting for further compromises or to take britain taking a different tack however nothing is to be seen so really what they're doing when they're meeting each other here and now and are continuing now in the weekly basis is just running in circles and so optimism is misplaced at the moment. so what about the likelihood of a new deal. seen in brussels. the problem with the no deal breaker brand is the timing and the timing works for it
are even assembled made in northern france and that won't have many anymore after brights it of course and if they had brits don't mind a bit of wilted lettuce and some of the tomatoes then of course they will continue to have they be o.t. because it will be stuck in trucks. still for however maybe for britain it's the best idea to go back to the good old british pork pie know that that might be the future of the united kingdom and we know it is all about nostalgia and the times my goodness but i don't know how hungry i am anyway just by that i'll say thank you and he will in brussels thank you. well it happened exactly as expected the u.s. has left more tariffs on chinese goods and china responded in kind of this is the second round of tariffs from the trumpet ministration a twenty five percent tariff on sixty billion dollars worth of imports china's
latest tariffs are aimed at three hundred american broad. new negotiations couldn't prevent the latest turn of the screw so far the u.s. and china have each imposed import duties on goods worth around fifty billion u.s. dollars now american companies in china i getting on the easy to meet issue that our companies think about is the uncertainty that the conflict brings uncertainty isn't good for business it limits your ability to invest in new developments in a country that impacts your ability to hire new staff u.s. president trump is not just attacking the trade deficit with china he's also fired shots at beijing's industrial policies accusing the chinese government of paying high subsidies to companies in the tech sector like robotics and out official intelligence sectors hit by tariffs starting to hurt on both sides like at this market in beijing many have stopped ordering agricultural products from the. u.s. because they've become too expensive the new g.
d's also affect items like turbines and chemicals china's retaliation targets included room materials like coal and gas in china two engines of the of the world economy if if if this trade will lead to and. it will slow down will shut down i mean that could be disastrous to the world despite strong resistance from within his own country trump is already threatening new sanctions on chinese goods with two hundred billion us dollars taking effect as early as next month. what are the regions of the us where manufacturing in farming depend on chinese demand these tariffs well their economic poison and nowhere is this tariff toxicity greater then in the city of wichita in the state of kansas the brookings institution says no other metro area in the u.s. is be impacted more by the u.s. china trade. alexander phenomenon visited wichita.
handrails and alloy. and his brother own two sister company in wichita that over a wide range of aluminum. over shouldn't have been strong decision it's becoming more and more difficult for the brothers to calculate their contracts the big impact for us deal in about six months. if. we didn't affect our market but we have to be very careful not to project your project let's say in january and that goes up thirty percent by march and your bid is not very good anymore and then the current terror of taxes on imports and exports says karen paige c.e.o. and president of kansas global twenty five years she's been working to help local companies to improve their position in global markets now she has to deal with more and more businesses suffering from trauma treat. it we're hearing from companies
that they may have to lay off people they can only absorb you know the head on their profit margins for so long and then. be competitive competitive they can't sell think can't sell they have to lay off. according to a recent analysis which should tell with its focus on aerospace manufacturing and agriculture us more exposed to chinese terrorists than any although us metro area but it's not easy to find business people ready to talk about that some of the meat off camera that they don't want to be seen to contradict president in this deeply conservative state for now many manufacturers here say they're holding their own but with one in four dollars in which the us economy coming from exports to tariffs are expected to have a huge impact an estimated twenty thousand jobs are at stake and at the moment it's the farmers who are paying the biggest toll one of them is keith miller at third generation farmer. he's been the rat for the last three years now he's afraid of
losing china as the market drops despite the fact that he's doing just fine. current prices that we are receiving and you are from a dollar to two dollars less than there was three months ago and it's cause an oscar for her real concern whether we're going to be able to. get those prices back in the near future and we're we're definitely worried about how we're income is going to come to the fore nevertheless keith miller still supports . his the first president fighting for you ask interests he says the farmer hopes that trump can strike a deal with china and most of all hope that this will happen. well the trade conflict with china is just one of many possible explosive devices in the
us president trumps political minefield two days ago trump former campaign manager was convicted on eight charges trump's former personal attorney michael cohen surrendered to the f.b.i. and admitted to several counts including bank fraud he also said under oath that trump had ordered him to commit a crime by using campaign funds to impact the outcome of the us presidential election well now the editors of time magazine have released the cover of their latest edition with the two words in deep the image shows the body of presidents from trying to swim in an oval office submerged in water after this week's black tuesday for trump the new time cover speaks to a white house administration inundated with crises some of them an existential threat to the presidency. or trump is firing back at the accusation made by his former attorney yesterday on fox news's of fox and friends he denied
any wrongdoing but listen and pay attention to the word most sitting presidents would never a wild across their lips in public seventy six days away from the midterms hard to believe if the democrats take that power do you believe they will try to impeach you. but you know i guess it says something like high crimes and all i don't i don't know how you can impeach somebody who's done a great job. i'll tell you what if i ever got impeached i think the market would crash i think everybody would be very poor. because without this thinking you would see that you would see numbers that you wouldn't believe in reverse all right going to take the story out of washington our bureau chief alexander phenomenas on the story for us good evening to you alexandra we heard it there used the word impeachment extraordinary for a sitting president to do that is he issuing a threat here. well it sounds like a threat like
a warning don't you know there are two that are wise you are going to pay the price and that is i would say at trump's usual strategy to tack to bully his critics his opponents to threaten them and to make up stories but this is also a message to the republican voters to his supporters and their hope to mobilize them to try if them to the polls by this prospect that the president may be in political peril and so he's sending this message saying them you have to vote for for me in the midst elections to prevent democratic party from taking over the house because if that happens that's really it's possible that we are a very likely that we are going to see impeachment proceedings starting them and i was introduced interview it comes on the heels of the plea deal by jones former
a complaint fund or from a private account. and then there is attorney general job search and see who has watched back to date saying that justice will not be influenced by politics know how significant is this alexander. i think that this is very significant not the fact that trump once again criticized criticize sessions but the fact that sessions this time hit back normally he would he wouldn't response to the president's criticism he would just continue work at the justice department so the fact that now he is pushing back it's very significant and we have to remind ourselves that sessions was one of the earliest and most high profile supporters of presidents try and he might be now in jeopardy there are some republicans already
talking about it that that the president might fire sessions after that mitt's terms all right of course when alexander phenomenalist we've always denied in washington the example thank you very much. well despite the unprecedented challenges facing the european union just think of bricks from the u.k. and migration and border control along the mediterranean the e.u. remains one of the world's most sought after clubs in fact countries are waiting in line just for the chance to apply for membership well that includes the former soviet republic of georgia germany's chancellor is visiting georgia and the country's president is presenting his case for joining the e.u. and nato but the west is reluctant to antagonize neighboring russia and today chancellor merkel rejected any fast track membership for georgia. well in the one
visit calls for a more liberal georgians sorry the have been growing louder tbilisi's l g b t community is spearheading a pushback against hate crimes and reactionary politics he surely reports. this is the soundtrack for social change in georgia. tech no clubs like he d. into b.b.c. are part of a movement pushing for bt rights and to ease the country's unusually strict drug laws they're islands of freedom in a conservative post soviet society. club culture is growing very fast but. the years changed. to people who. many. people like. strange. don't deserve to be part of this society so. change.
to change. dancing became political in may after armed georgian police raided two of to be most renowned clubs gallery and looking for drug dealers in response to what many saw as the heavy handedness of authority hundreds took to the streets to protest the government and to fight for progressive values by down say. gay rights activists live on video need to organize is a regular night at one of the clubs that was raided he says the community often faces abuse and violence in georgia and that's why they are a key group in the push for a more liberal society community as well as other groups have enjoyed the any is a safe space as a space where they can enjoy still a very quality freedom. well which is quite lacking outside of the us the
and in those club scenes it's very conservative outsides and though the club race for presenting this threat to the safe environment george appears to be at a crossroads between its past and its future but conservative forces including the georgian orthodox church are also very powerful in the country and in recent years several nationalist groups of appeared on the georgian political scene. is a musician and he's also the co-founder of the ultra nationalist movement georgian march which has rallied crowds against migrants and for what she calls traditional family values but that she really feels georgia is losing its national identity to western liberal values. we want to know why pushing towards why are we rushing towards darkness when we can't see anything. saying georgia is
european country is absurd this is the caucasus country. at the start of. a candidate from georgia in march will be running in georgia's presidential elections in october but with different groups and generations pulling the country in different directions it will likely take much longer for georgia's future to take shape. well it is being hailed as a giant leap forward for weather forecasting after sixteen years of intensive planning a new satellite has been sent into orbit to monitor wind patterns around the globe . speaking out tonight when. a rocket carrying the satellite blasted off from the european space agency's space poured in french guiana it's been named eolus after the keeper of the winds in greek mythology scientists hope the data collected will help to more accurately predicted stream weather and

be so impeachment and do you hear what the house representative think that's because it's the house the votes to open an impeachment trial which then takes place in the senate republicans control both houses of congress that might be of some comfort to trump but by no means office total security. now for some of the other stories making the news today the democratic national committee in the us says an attempted hack into its voter database has been thwarted this comes two years after russian operatives hacked into democratic party computers during the election facilitating the release of tens of thousands of emails it's not known who was behind this latest hacking attempt. after a hinge of children who crossed into bangladesh without parents were orphaned by violence in me in march it was previously thought that they had simply been separated from their living parents the new finding by save the children comes one year since me and maher began expelling seven hundred thousand rohingya muslims.

energy policy prime minister turnbull is seen as a center left if you like and some people say he has more in common with the opposition labor party than he does with his own conservatives and he's very supportive of the climate change action of the mission targets and that has coincided with a dramatic increase in energy prices here in australia it doubled almost over the past year and a lot of people are rightly that and that's what the criticism and here's a slump in the opinion poll as of late ok well let's take a listen to how now to what prime minister turnbull had to say about what's going on. the reality is that a minority in the party room. supported by. others outside the parliament have sought to. bully intimidate others into. making this change of leadership that

children who end up working just to get by. it is six in the morning and lebanon's bekaa valley. year old some i just woke up a splash of cold water in the face and she is ready for work is tiny makeshift bed with three of her six siblings. she doesn't go to school there are no schools in the camp where would she go to school so may as mother is sick and cannot go to work her older siblings also work but so my is still needs to pitch in to help the family make ends meet so instead of getting on a school bus so my eye gets under strike every morning where she is the only child among many adults. for two dollars a day collects whatever crop is ready for harvest in the bekaa valley.
today it is onions and her hands are too little for the gloves the adults around her where. i came here from home today can collect the onions but i would rather have toys to play with. three quarters of syrian refugees in lebanon live under the poverty line according to unicef an estimated one hundred eighty thousand syrian refugee children. have been forced into child labor in the country so a lot more to do i don't know when she goes to work and i stay at home of course i'm not happy with that she's just a small child and has to carry so much weight it could break her back that's hard for her. she should be at least thirteen or fourteen to do work like that. many refugee families in lebanon rely on their children to pay the bills and the resources of aid agencies are overstretched it's unlikely that some i will be able
to stop working and time soon. to mexico now where thousands of migrants from central america are stuck in the city of tijuana on the border with the u.s. conditions there are quickly deteriorating. after getting soaked the day before another night of heavy rain finally sealed the fate of the benito who want to shelter in downtown to one of. the six thousand plus migrants housed in the former sports complex did not stand a chance against the downpour. only the children still manage a gentle smile the adults are mourning their tense floating in ankle deep muddy water their clothes and other belongings trenched ruined for many a total loss. and the middle palling cemetery conditions to the city and mexican

have the money and it's going to take us all day to get there. meanwhile back at the shelter in downtown to the line for the buses even longer now more migrants seem to be willing to leave for the new shelter sooner rather than later a look inside the old place may reveal the reason you don't get more you know not. yet when i was a little girl she sings i knew only the beauty of funder us time passed by and i grew older i understood i should not love this land. the said strikes a nerve with many on this day as they continue to harbor their dreams of a future in a better place. home to some twenty million people life in nigeria. bustling commercial capital letters can be stressful especially if you're handicapped we need bus driver tires of your

russia life for people who have contracted hiv aids is far from easy prejudice is common and those suffering from the disease often face being stigmatized it's a long road to acceptance. among near one hundred one o'clock i don't like it when people point at me and say that i'm contagious on here the worst kinds of insults on the streets will restore pools last stop of the prisoners from grabbing vitale has been h.l.v. positif oil and yes. i want to let everyone know that hiv is not a death sentence where people just like everyone else. and have a child but above the only thing that makes me different are the four pills that i take every day to keep me from dying that was the relief. but these pills that
keep him from dying as a tonic also them are not a cure for a different problem but the stigmatization of people with h r v's. to fight the stigma vitale has come up with an unusual idea. he wants to confront people with his illness by publicly outing himself as h. he posted. a used. up post this huge stigma surrounding a hiv positive people in russia accounts from fear and now it's hard many still think that we can be transmitted by breathing the same air that h.l.v. people should just be rounded up denounced and sense away. to the mood to mars for us to just disappear out of view it's very hurtful when it. became. vitale wants to start his campaign in his home town your criterion boruc he knows
it could be dangerous his aim is to break down the barrier as it has existed between him and the build around him since he got his diagnosis. he's black artery it's i'm pose it if. me if you're not afraid. you're really not scared you know i'm a doctor with all the best to love me what shall we hark differently if you're not scared. why should i be thank you so much god simply give me your postings of course for north and see if a few more people hug me and i'm just going to cry i'm overwhelmed this makes me stronger and i'm beginning to realize that i didn't out myself for nothing you know you're not affiliated. even on a cold november evening is the reaction still vitaly milonov skinned his openness about his age of the status have been surprisingly warm however vitale knows it
