what you promised to do in the first place. stay out of stupid wars and start building this country instead of spending morning tonight yelling schoolyard trash talk at the other kids on the playground. that s hardball right now. thanks for being with us. all in with chris hayes starts right now. tonight on all in . right now we have so many nuclear weapons, i want them in perfect condition, perfect shape. the president threatens a free press. it s disgusting that the press is able to write what they want to write. reports of an absolute meltdown in the white house. tonight the nuclear dangers with the president on the edge. my attitude is the one that matters. and what to make of his threats to challenge the license of nbc news. then articles of impeachment against donald j. trump. the billionaire donor who wants democrats to pledge they will impeach the president. and an nbc exclusive entire view with the latest weinstein accuser to come forward. he said i have contracts for my next three films here and i will sign them today but i want you to have a threesome with me an my assistant. all in starts right now. good evening new york. i m unstable, losing a step and unraveling, words used by the president s confidant to describe his state of mind, echoing the grave concerns of chairman bob corker, that the president s temperament and current disposition could pose a threat to national security. the white house reached a new level of crisis as the president fumes and lashes out over the stall with the latest agenda and preferred candidate s embarrassing loss in the senate primary. he vented to keith shiller, who recently left the administration telling him, i hate everyone in the white house. there are a few exceptions but i hate them. a white house official denies this. things have gotten so bad that according to one source, steve bannon told people he thinks trump has only a 30% chance of making it the full term. national security leaders he wanted what amounts to a nearly tenfold increase in the u.s. nuclear arsenal during a meeting over the summer. that s according to three officials in the room. the president s comments came in response to a briefing slide he was shown charting the steady reduction of nuclear weapons in the u.s. since the 1960s. according to nbc news, that was the same pentagon meeting that prompted secretary of skate tillerson to called the president moron. the president today disputed nbc s reporting. that was just fake news by nbc which gives a lot of fake interview with the the new york times earlier this week. i don t think he understands that the messages that he sends out, especially when you take into account they re being received in other languages around the world yeah. what that does. i know he s hurt, in several instances he s hurt us as it relates to negotiations that were under way by tweeting things out. corker may have been referring to an incident two ekes ago when tillerson announced that the u.s. is in direct conversation with north korea over its nuclear career. drawing a rebuke from the president saying i told tillerson he s wasting his trying to negotiate with rocketman. save your energy. it s not clear that s an approach the president supports. vii have a little bit differt attitude on north korea than other people might have. your secretary? and i listen to everybody. but ultimately my attitude is the one that matters isn t it? that s the way it works. that s the way the system is. but i think i might have a somewhat different attitude and a different way than other people. i think perhaps i feel stronger and tougher on that subject than other people. ben rhodes serves as the deputy national securitied a vuzer to former president barack obama. that last line, tougher strong nuclear weapons. what do you make of the reporting that we re getting and the president s statements? well, first of all, if you have to go around telling everybody how tough you are, you re probably not. i think that this is an incredibly dangerous moment. we already have a nuclear crisis on the korean peninsula. we have the threat of trump initiating a second nuclear crisis by pulling out of the iran deal. and frankly, he seems to approach issues of nuclear weapons the same way he approaches tweeting about fake news or the nfl. but the transconsequencconseque more severe. and we should all be concerned in which direction he s going to lead us in the korean peninsula and iran. as someone who worked in the white house and dealt with the iran deal and also had to deal with north korea, i wonder what are the conversations like at the highest levels of the white house when you re talking about nuclear weapons? it s something that must hang over and weigh on everyone that is involved in making decisions in the white house. well, chris, first of all, the entire post war architecture that was built after world war ii, essentially exists to prevent the use of nuclear weapons. and the united states at the center of that architecture works to prevent both the spread and use of nuclear weapons. so everything that you re doing any day has as a backdrop the desire to prevent that catastrophic outcome. with respect to iran, that meant looking at what the options were, a diplomatic agreement like the one we reached to prevent iran from getting a nuclear weapon. knowing that absent diplomatic agreement the options you re left with is a war with iran or iran obtaining the nuclear weapon. the entire time we were in office we were dealing with a north korean regime that had the nuclear capability. mindful of that we worked to isolate and pressure north korea but were very careful about the types of bluster and threats that he s engaged in that could risk a conflict that could immediately get out of control and prove catastrophic. so these are things that you have to be very careful in addressing. and frankly speak about as senator corker said in very careful language. because around the world people listen very closely to every word the president of the united states says as relates to the nuclear weapons and they re making their decision based on what the u.s. president is saying there. there s an announce thamt the president will decertify the iran agreement this week. and he s doing this despite the fact that people in his own government and republicans in his own party say they re abiding by the toerms of the deal. what do you make of that? it s completely utterly dishonest. it s a lie. iran is complying with the deal. the trump administration certified that twice. jim mattis said they re complying with the deal. general dunford said they re complying with the deal. he likes to listen to generals but now he s ignoring them. he s going against the allies and the views of his own government. iran is complying. they re rolled back their nuclear program. second he s punting the issue to congress who has to make a decision about what to do. if he wanted to kill the iran deal he could do it himself by not waving the sanctions relief that we give to iranians. he s punting this to congress and leaving them with nothing but bad actions. if congress passing new sanctions yoerp won t go along with it, china won t. we ll be isolated and left with a choice as to whether or not to sanction europe and china and russia, there by causing great calamity in the global economy and further isolating us and not the iranians. and the worst case nair jo is iran says we re violating the deal and restart their nuclear program and we re left with war or nuclear iran. and then we also have north korea and iran. a double the amount of the nuclear crises the presidecount faces. thank you. jennifer ruben, a vocal trump critic. jennifer, i want to ask you about the trump deal. but first, sam, here s the irony were peril and paradox. at one point he s describing the president as weak. today he threatened this network with rescinding its broadcasting license which he can t do. these are impotent threats by the president. at the i m time he s currently navigating two different areas of nuclear diplomacy in which he is the president of the united states. yeah. it s a strange paradox. the guy is the president. and you know the real question to me about all of what we re hearing about the leaks that you hear from gabe sherman s piece and bob corker just coming out and saying these thing that s not a leak. that s on the record. why? obviously somebody is trying to send the public a message and the question is, you know, why do we know about what he was talking about in july now. this why were there officials three people in that room. three people in this room willing to tell the story about the president. you think they re sending a message. people are concerned and want the public no know what s going on. i can t imagine they think that this is going to change the president s behavior. i think the idea is that we need to change the behavior of the people around the president. do you agree with that? yeah, i do. the washington post is reporting tonight that one reason that trump is going forth with this decertification strategy, which is not exactly wrecking the jcpoa is that he quote threw a fit when he was asked to and told to certify the deal the last time. they re scrambling around looking for a mechl nichl, not to em bolden us, not to help our allies but to satisfy a person who has become unhinged. a screaming toddler. so now we re taking action in the international realm that could damage our relationships with europe, that could em bolden iran, isolate the united states why? because the president of the united states has a temp every tantrum. i think this is what we ve come to and what is so dangerous. we re making nuclear diplomatic policy because of a desire to avoid a fit of people from the president who doesn t like the fact that he had to certify the deal. and there s a sense i mean to get back to your warning idea, this is interesting, one of the things in vanity fair is bannon telling trump that he thinks that he ll you know, steve bannon told trump the risk to his president was impeachment but the 25th amendment. when bannon mentioned the 25th amendment, trump says, what s that. what s interesting about that is ben is stoking the idea that you don t have anyone loyal around you, you re being circled and enclosed and all of this reporting suggesting that he s more volatile. when bannon left he says he s going to be fight frg the president on the outside. i m not convinced that that s what bannon s agenda is. i m more convinced that bannon is using the president on the outside and unbeknownst that he s fighting for bannon s agenda which is very different than any of the other players involved here. he s more interested in chaos. he doesn t care which way it goes as long as it s chaotic. so i don t know who those three officials are, i have no way of knowing. but if they re in the room as the president of the united states is asking about our nukes and they re going out and telling reporters about it, they want, not necessarily me, but us as a society to understand something that they think it s important for us to understand. that is disturbing in a lot of different ways. jennifer to play devil s advocate for a moment, there have been reports of this a lot. there s reports that the president is seething, brooding. do you feel like there s a qualitative difference here, to sam s point, there s a signal that s trying to be sent, some smoke signal coming it of the white house about the stability of the president of the united states which when you get to when you read the gabe sherman piece, there s a lot of euphemisms being used about the fitness of the man. i think there is a quality of difference. gabe sherman s piece if accurate and i have no reason to doubt it. he s a strong reporter is that he has gotten worse. it s unraveling. this is deterioration of the president s mood and ability to function in the job. i do think first of all his behavior is worsening and secondly i think the concern of people around him is certainly worsening and that s why you have people in the military who you could never imagine in any other circumstances leaving what is called the tank where these very high level discussions take place and going to the media with their concerns about the president. and the questions that i have are fist where are the rest of the republicans other than corker. telling him just to make nice with the president . and secondly, where is the vice president of the united states. he has a constitutional obligation to the country. he shouldn t be running around to football stadiums making political gestures. he needs to get in there and satisfy himself that the president is incapacitated or kpas ta kpas tated and proceed from there. the president just tweeting network news as become so partisan distorted and faked that licenses should be challenged. that at 8:09. mr. president if you are watching right now, that s not the way it works. many thanks to you both. next colonel lawrence wilkerson on the dangers of having a president described as unstable and unraveling in charge of nuclear weapons. that in two minutes. with maximum strength alka seltzer plus liquid gels. hey? i paused it. bam, family time. so how is everyone? find your awesome with xfinity xfi and change the way you wifi. do you know donald trump s position on nuclear weapons? no? you re not alone. try to decipher this. it is an absolute last stance. and you know, i use the word unpredictable. you want to be unpredictable. i would be a very slow trigger. can you tell the middle east we re not using nuclear weapons. i would never say that. not going to take my cards off of the table. how about in europe. i m not going to take it off of the table. you might use it in europe? no, i don t think so. japan has a big problem. maybe they would be better off if they defend themselves from north korea. with nukes? including with nukes, yes. i think that once the nuclear alternative happens, it s over. at the same time i have to be prepared. i can t take anything off of the table. here to discuss the actions that the top republican put us on this path to colin paul. colonel, do you feel confident that the structures in place are holding as this president navigates both north korea and now moves to decertify the iran deal? i certainly hope they are, chris, because both moves are extremely dangerous and his recent comments on nuclear weapons, which you ve highlighted, are extremely disturbing to me. because when president george w. bush, whom i served, as you know, withdrew from the anti-ballistic missile treaty, colonel powell had to rush off to berlin and london and ultimately moscow and placate all of those people who thought that things were turning really dangerous. the result of that was the moscow treaty and a really huge slash in both the soviet union then russia s stockpile and our stockpile. so the trend was positive. the trend was downward. to hear a president talking about not only modernization and security and all of the things that we talk about all of the time, but actually increasing the number of nuclear weapons is very disturbing, especially in light of the fact that you re looking at a china that might be trying to establish a second strike capability and then russia who might be looking at us, okay, all bets are off, let s go after our nuclear stockpile too. very dangerous. what would the consequences be for the world if the president moves to decertify and congress pulls us out of the deal or stops the iran deal. what do you see as the consequences of that action? we become as angela merkel hinted at earlier this year, even more trustworthy. the second consequence is all of the talks that are going on now, secret or otherwise with north korea or might go on will have a huge impediment because north korea will look at that and other things that think that we re totally untrust wore think. i can walk you through a likely scenario for ultimate war in the region with iran and i think that would be a disaster, as general anthony zin any said, would make iraq a disaster there from 2003 on pale in comparison. iran is much bigger, 70 million plus, 51% are persian. and we would turn all of those young people in iran, which is probably half of the population, we would turn them immediately against the united states. but that s the outcome of things like what john bolton and other conservatives want, is war. as someone who has operated some of the highest levels of the american government and in diplomacy and in the u.s. armed forces, there is a kind of hope that mattis and kelly and mcmaster, the generals are going to essentially protect the country from the president. do you think, a, that s credibly how they view their roles and, b, what do you make of that as the posture of the men around the president? i don t think that was the way any one of the three viewed their roles in the beginning. i think that with varying degrees with each of them, it s becoming their view. i think that we have a real problem with three of the national security establishments most important people being general officers. when you put that together with the fact that apparently we have a president who is willing to do and say almost anything at any given point in time, i m really worried. it looks like a dangerous situation. i m waiting for one of those individuals to wake up one morning, have a cup of coffee, grab him and say what am i doing here. what do you mean by that? you mean quitting? well, you ve got a situationy y where you have a choice. you can stay and continue to try to convince yourself that you are the person between the bomb and reality or you really aren t helping that much and you re going to have a problem convincing yourself that you should stay. i mean to a lesser degree, i went through this with colin powell. you convince yourself that you re essential. that whoever comes in after you will be worse than you and so you stay. and i m sure that john and jim and h.r., yeah, have that conversation with themselves. i hope they do, any way. because as one of your guests said, this is becoming apparent that this president has something loose somewhere. colonel lawrence wilkerson, thank you for your time. thank you. ahead an nbc news exclusive, harvey weinstein accuser on the time she had to flee from weinstein s hotel room. mine s way better. this one s below market price and has bluetooth. same here, but this one has leather seats! use the cars.com app to compare price, features and value. the flu, and its complications, needs to hear it. can be deadly. especially for those with a chronic medical condition. ask your health care provider for a senior flu shot. do it today. before the flu becomes an emergency. the worst wildfires in california s history are raging out of control tonight causing a stunning degree of destruction. even for a state that tends to suffer from wildfires this time of the year. thousands of people are being evacuated. the fires wipe out entire neighborhoods in northern california. 2 is people have died. hundreds of people still unaccounted for. more than 500 in sonoma county alone. officials caution many of those people may be safe but without communication. while the firefighters deal with the catastrophe in california, the full disaster in puerto rico is coming to focus. 45 deaths have been officially accounted. medical workers impatient saying that intense medical crisis exists, communication and electrical crisis. only 15% of the island have electricity. availability of drinking water is at dangerous levels. congress is expected to pass a $38 million aid package for areas affected by hurricanes and the current wildfires. part of it will go to puerto rico. but the massive relief bill cancels $16 billion in debt but not for puerto rico. no. the debt relief instead goes to the national flood insurance program which has been in the red for a while in which covers homeowners who build in flood zones. but puerto rico which is already more than $70 billion in debt will get zero debt relief. instead, get this, they will get a nearly $5 billion loan. which means puerto rico gets more debt as it struggles for survival. both parties, republicans and democrats are poised to punish the americans of puerto rico for being victims of disaster even more than we ve done that through government incomp tension. they re going to charge them a leasing fee for the life raft as they drown. can you imagine telling texas or florida the same? no. well it shouldn t be okay for puerto rico either. you nervous? our guests can earn a free night when they book at choicehotels.com and stay with us just two times? fall time. badda book. badda boom. pumpkin spice cookie?

well when i laughed he got angry and he said you ll never make it in this business. this is how this industry works. how do you think so and so, so and so, so and so got to where they are today. and just started yelling at me. and so at that point i fled from the room. i was scared at that point because he is a very domineering man, very large domineering man, very loud. sorry. so at that point i left, took off, went to the elevator. and sorry. don t be. his assistant called me a couple of times after that, that night. and i didn t respond because i was just devastated, you snow. msnbc s stephanie ruhle conducted that interview, a great interview. joins me now. incredible work. incredible for her to come on camera and tell that story. she doesn t have to tell her story. right. yeah. what happened to her desire to be an actress in the industry? she believed him. if you re a 24-year-old girl and one of the most powerful men in hollywood when you watch the oscars is thanked by the most famous men and women in hollywood and this guy propositions if you for sex and says this is how hollywood works or you ll never make anytime this town, someone like dawn gives up and changed career aspirations. this is a key part of this story. there s lots of stories of that. this is a way in which systematically women he said you ll never work in this town and he convinced young women who may have gone on to incredible careers or fulfillment of their talent to leaf. this is an industry where a big giant guy like harvey weinstein would make your dreams come through. or crush them. or crush them. who was she going to go to? her agent? she didn t have an agent and even if she did her agent would have said ieds love a meeting with harvey weinstein. would she go to the police? he didn t rape her. who was going to believe her. she was a 23, 24-year-old girl who was an aspiring actress. now they ve got power in numbers. now this extraordinary reporting by ronan farrow and the the new york times have come out and now harvey weinstein says i m going to go into therapy? one of the things that s come out in the reporting of ronan farrow of the new york times, is the sameness of the m.o. oh wait, which one was that? i ve now read that account 15 times. and the fact that he he created a factory. he pro he employed his o to become a factory to produce opportunities for him to do this. and the industry allowed it. just think about it. the fact that there was a joke at the oscars about it. the fact that 30 rock made jokes about it to you and i might be stunning because it s an stray that s near us but we re not part of. but imagine when she first met harvey weinstein, she viewed his assistant as her aid. well i knew he was a predator and i knew he had that casting couch reputation. so she thought if his assistant is going to be there, she ll be my safety net. meanwhile the assistant was helping him, the honey pott all along. and i said would you call his assistant now. she had her number in her phone. in res tro spekt, the assistant is a victim of the system too. this is someone with tremendous power who is implicating everyone in this. so like everyone has a little piece of the guilty as a means almost of protecting himself. because who could turn him in. if the assistant turns in anyone, she s implicated. what human resources department are you going to go to. and for the board to say this is inhuman, we re aghast. i m sorry, chris. you didn t think they knew? 21st century fox has shareholders saying you made millions of dollars of settlements, how come we didn t know. the board knew. how does a private company as small as weinstein and company, how did the board members not know. excellent reporting. coming up, the house of representatives came this close to voting on whether to impeach the president of the united states. what happened coming up. plus alabama s roy moore rides again in tonight s thing 1 thing 2 next. thing 1 tonight typically when we think of a charity we think of an appeal to our better instringss like the forstalling of selfishness and greed. roy moore who said homosexual conduct should be illegal, muslims should not be allowed to serve in the congress. he has a charity. on the website it was announced that moore would take the title of president emeritus of the foundation. now it s not unheard of and often typical for top executives the a nonprofit to collect a salary but alledgedly not roy moore. the charity employs his children and moore s wife who was pads $190,000 over three years, the washington post reports that moore once said publicly he did not take a regular salary from the small charity he founded. you ll never guess who was paid over $1 million from that charity. that s thing 2 in 60 seconds. that s why i rent from national. where i get the control to choose any car in the aisle i want, not some car they choose for me. which makes me one smooth operator. ah! still a little tender. (vo) go national. go like a pro. republican senate nominee from alabama, roy moore said he didn t have a salary from his charity but that is not true. far from it. moore pulled hundreds of thousands of dollars from his tax exempt 5013 c public charity. the washington post reports that moore arranged to receive a salary of $180,000 a year for part-time work at the foundation for moral law and he collected more than $1 million as president from 2007 to 2012. compensation that far surpassed what the group disclosed its in public tax filings most of those years. but that s not all. the charity gave him health care coverage, covered the travel expenses. what happened when the charity ran out of money? he was given a promissory note for back pay worth $540,000. keep that that mind when you watch moore say things like this. been very hard for my wife and myself to weather two, nearly three months of negative ads that we couldn t answer with money because we didn t have it. hold on dad. liberty did what? yeah, liberty mutual 24-hour roadside assistance helped him to fix his flat so he could get home safely. my dad says our insurance doesn t have that. don t worry - i know what a lug wrench is, dad. is this a lug wrench? maybe? you can leave worry behind when liberty stands with you™. liberty stands with you™. liberty mutual insurance. the energy conscious whopeople among usle? say small actions can add up to something. humongous. a little thing here. a little thing there. starts to feel like a badge maybe millions can wear. who are all these caretakers, advocates too? turns out, it s californians it s me and it s you. don t stop now, it s easy to add to the routine. join energy upgrade california and do your thing. impeached pursuant to article 2 section 4 of the constitution of the united states of america. representative al green has called for impeachment before but this time was a bit different. green planned to introduce his impeachment mesh shuasure as a privileged resolution to require a full house vote within two days. but then something strange happened. green pulled the resolution not because of republicans but thanks to pressure from fellow democrats. i ll ask al green to explain what went down right after this. when you have a cold stuff happens. shut down cold symptoms fast with maximum strength alka seltzer plus liquid gels. infusion and serious allergic reactions can happen during or after treatment. entyvio may increase risk of infection, which can be serious. while not reported with entyvio, pml, a rare, serious brain infection caused by a virus may be possible. tell your doctor if you have an infection, experience frequent infections, or have flu-like symptoms, or sores. liver problems can occur with entyvio. if your uc or crohn s medication isn t working for you, ask your gastroenterologist about entyvio. entyvio. relief and remission within reach. donald john trump, by betraying his trust as president warrants impeachment, trial and removal from office and disqualification to hold any office with honor, trust or profit under the united states of america. joined by al green of texas who moved to force a vote to impeach the president before ultimately pulling the measure. why did you pull the measure? thank you for having me on. with a few facts usually have much speculation. which caused us to make these comments. no one asked me to pull anything, i went to the floor intending to do exactly what i did because i wanted american public to have the opportunity to understand what impeachment is all about and what the articles of impeachment are all about. rules allow a person presenting a privileged resolution to have the opportunity to have it heard that day or within the next two days. i chose not to do that because i want people to know what is going on. at some point in the future i ll come back for a vote. reporting i ve read said that democratic leadership, including nancy pelosi didn t like the idea, didn t want democrats on record for impeachment, didn t think it was tactically smart. didn t want to force a vote at this time. you re denying it s true? that s absolutely not true. this is one of those rare occasions. speaker pelosi did not ask me to pull anything, neither did anyone else in leadership. this is a decision i made before i went to the floor. but wait a second. it is your belief as i watched the speech, you believe this is genuinely clear and present danger. president genuinely unfit. seem sincere in the belief, articulated it before. if that s case, why windup and not go through with it. why not force the issue? impeachment takes place from the ground up and american people have to get involved and american people hearing us tonight will know this can be done. they also need to know impeachment can take place without the president committing a crime. that s been put into the minds of the public and we have to deal with that. this is an opportunity to educate people to know what impeachment really entails. andrew johnson in 1868, one of the articles of impeachment did not allege a crime. 10. pickering, first to be impeached, for things other than committing a crime. most of the people were impeached for things that didn t involve committing a crime. this is a chance to educate the public which we must do. there is a lot of misinformation out there. phrase that everyone knows is high crimes and misdemeanors but you re right, there s precedent it doesn t mean a crime in the sense of the courts. article 10 for johnson, congress didn t like the way johnson talked about congress. insulted them and ran them down. exactly. so there s precedent but also seems to me that modern understanding of it is that it s crime. to reach for that particular tool threatens unwinding of the basic political norms in the country. what do you say to people who say that? most of the people who say that have rationales other than original intent. if you want to talk about what the framers of the constitution intended, probably the actions that took place close to the time when they were there, many of them alive when john pickering was impeached, probably best indication what original intent was. a good many people don t understand. will conflate what can happen in judicial aspect of a crime, meaning you have to go to court, proof beyond a reasonable doubt. that s not impeachment. it is a political process. constitutional fact. process of the house. that s absolutely correct. thanks for being with me. representative green not only liberal pressing for impeachment. $91 million supporting democrats in 2016 cycle sent a letter to fellow democrats calling for impeachment and saying public needs to know where every single democrat stands on the issue. tom steyer. there is an argument this is tactically short sded or fool hardy because if you turn into impeachment, you will strengthen the president s base and become radio active if it s on the ballot in the midterms. but that s not the question we ve been asking ourselves. because the question we ve been asking ourselves, is this president a clear and present danger to the american people? if he is, which we absolutely believe he is, and if he s violated the public trust, then in fact don t we have to take action and do the right thing. not do a political calculation for what is going to happen 14 months from now? we re trying to say it s time to step up and do the right thing, not do polling to figure out smart thing for the election cycle when the health and safety of american citizens are at risk. i have to ask you this, people theorized the following, that you re planning to run for senate, diane feinstein s senate seat. she s running again. and it s jungle primary system in california, this will give you wedge issue to use against her as incumbent democrat. what do you say to that? if you go back and check the record, we called for impeachment several months ago. what we re saying now is, it s time for democrats to step up and say where they stand on this, whether this president has to go now. in fact saying it to every elected member of congress and senate. go on the record to say whether we can afford to let this president stay in power longer or isn t it time for him to go. that absolutely poses the question to senator feinstein, where does she stand? and every other elected democrat. isn t it time for us to oppose a president who presents a clear and present danger to the american people? are you going to run for that senate seat? i have said i am going to try to figure out how to have the most positive impact in the crisis that we re in. i haven t ruled anything out, including running for office. but the fact of the matter is, what we re talking about today is try to protect the american people from a president who is clearly dangerous to them, unfit to hold office and which every democrat will say privately that s true. question is when are we going to go on the record and start pushing the country towards where we know we have to go, remove the man from office. question becomes, do you think it s a political possibility? can you imagine that happening before the midterms? i guess the idea is, lot of people think that only thing that would allow that to happen would be a democratic majority in house and senate and those that think that going on the record would hurt or help those efforts. are you saying you think it s possibility within the next whatever, 14 months? i see this differently from the way that those calculations imply. what i see is this, we have 14 months between now and midterm elections. assumption in all the calculations is world would be essentially static and safe. it s just not true. fact of the matter is, i don t believe we can stand pat for 14 months, cross our fingers and toes and help like heck that the world is going to be okay. fact of the matter is we re in grave danger and it s time for us to act, not sit there and hope it turns out okay because that works for us politically. tom steyer, whose home state is ablaze right now. would looking you to have back
a new conflict. in one corner iran still prickly despite its landmark nuclear deal with the international community and the western forces remain strong in the shiite republic and it continues to support radical islamic movements across the region. in the other corner an increasingly our society of saudi arabia encouraged by president trumps visit last may to expand its regional influence it s always. on his first trip to the middle east donald trump essentially gave the saudi leadership complete freedom to do whatever it wants as long as that serves u.s. interests that has fueled tensions in the confrontation between saudi arabia and iran. it s. one battleground in this regional rivalry is yemen with iran supporting who three rebels fighting the country s sunni government which is backed by saudi arabia. a pro rebel t.v. station showed images of areas has of course their very own internal dynamics levanon is quite different from yemen etc so each of these internal dynamics can also spiral into beyond control of either of the big players in the latest news from lebanon the prime minister has resigned. this is the statement from saudi arabia there is talk of the probably structure being held hostage well it wouldn t be the first time the yemeni president has also denied return to yemen at the moment so this is one of the various tactics and apparently there s talk of the saudis trying to get a brother of the current prime minister to potentially take over in lebanon so. this is not entirely plausible and it s made more complicated because the hariri is also very active as saudi business as businessmen in saudi arabia and therefore the saudis also have leverage over the in economic terms of of them so this is this is a complicated situation that a closer look at the more complicated it gets because again taking the simplistic view saudi arabia as has been fighting on the side of the yemeni government so why would they take. their allies leader hostage well that s a very puzzling question it seems that this might be a concession to the to the emirates interest because apparently the emirates have now denounced the and are more backing and independence movement in the southern part of yemen but that s to some extent speculation so is this a new phenomenon or is this we just now seeing what has been simmering away for for decades bursting out into public view well a lot of this has been simmering but. in a sense at the moment it s exacerbated because the u.s. seem to be to some extent changing their positions to some extent don t seem to take a very decisive stance anywhere in the region and therefore new powers including the regional powers are setting themselves in a much stronger way of freitag i think we i think will scratch the surface over an extremely large and complicated situation i thank you for guiding us through it thank you you thank. now let s take a look at some of the other stories making news around the world afghan officials say one policeman has been killed and two burdett in a suicide car bombing targeted a police car as a single bomb of course the blast and they started helmand province the group has claimed responsibility but helmand is in town about heartland. of the five hundred asylum seekers remain stranded in a decommissioned australian migrant camp in papua new guinea he has officially closed on the thirty first of october power food and water cut off however most of the camps residents have refused to relocate because of concerns for the safety of threats they say they ve received from local residents. this is d.w. reached three point two percent. and going higher. unemployment. is at its lowest level in seventeen years. but directly after that trump expressed his displeasure with the supposedly unfair business practices and games the us they ignored the rules to gain advantage over those who followed the rules causing enormous to store shims in commerce and threatening the foundations of international trade it s. china s president xi jinping couldn t let that lie and challenge trumps comments albeit indirectly by expressing his support for free trade. over the last few decades economic globalization has contributed significantly to global growth indeed it s become an irreversible historical trend. at the beginning of the year trumps administration decided not to take part in the planned transpacific partnership. but according to the countries that remain d.p.p. is on the way regardless of the u.s. decision. i believe that s the best way for us to generate wealth. for everybody concerned. now that america has taken the position to withdraw we respect that decision but it had been countries. by japan were trying to come up with a new version. just how much the t p p negotiations will progress is still unclear japan says there s a deal in place while canada denies it the apec summit in vietnam would certainly provide a worthy framework for its. a more on that whole story i m joined now by nicholas kessel s from the j.f.k. institute on north american studies so good to have you here with us so it s quite an interesting set up we re seeing here on the one hand a not very diplomatic u.s. president on the other a chinese president hu is seeming open up to two markets and embracing them how much of all that rhetoric rings true to you. well donald trump is that s just rhetoric that is having made two hundred fifty billion dollars in trade deals with china just you know the day before yesterday. he s now refusing to actually attack the one power that s responsible for the mess of north american asia trip deficit so he s talking basically to the world crowd and he knows that but he needs to talk to them because his electorate at home needs to hear him fight for what he calls fair trade at the same time at the same time he is very much under fire at home because of the f.b.i. investigations into a legit russian interference yeah like that s not going away that quickly that s not. in a way any time soon so he needed to bring something juicy back home that s china he needs to stay true to his rhetoric that s now the summit in london so that is where we are so trump is playing to his home base his holdings are out and he is returning with a two hundred fifty billion dollars business deal with china what s china getting out of this that s very interesting because two years ago china unpacked its currency the renminbi from from the u.s. dollars so now when the dollar goes up there and the doesn t doesn t react as strongly and because the resulting devaluation particularly chinese holders of us on went on a spending spree china consequentially impose some restrictions on these trade because you know they follow both routes at the same time that s why it s called a strategy with the u.s. having pulled out the remaining nations lek this leader and like the vision of saying what do you actually want from t p p t p p u. the purpose doesn t know ok and it s unlikely that tomorrow the summit in manila trump will be able to actually . gain the trust of leaders there to come up with them you know it s difficult for them to find direction because as you mentioned the leader there is missing right now nicholas castles there from the j.f.k. institute a north american studies thank you so much. and the latest news on t.v. p.p. is reaching us just now a planned meeting also the editors of the eleven t.p. nations has been postponed apparently because canadian prime minister justin trudeau didn t show up for the meeting so no consensus could be reached now the british prime minister theresa may has unveiled legislation specifying the date and time the country leaves the e.u. it says breaks it will take place at eleven p.m. local time on march twenty ninth two thousand and nineteen may says the motion shows the government s determination to see the bricks and process through germany s largest industry association the p.d.i. however said a comprehensive deal will take years to complete its warned the german companies or want to german companies to prepare for the scenario of britain leaving the e.u. with out a deal. and that is more and more likely michelle by a needy use chiva break sick negotiator just said that there needs to be substantial progress on the brakes a bill over the next two weeks if not future talks could not address the future relationship between britain and the e.u. and that would mean a hard breaks it is almost inevitable and that is something i would like to discuss with danielle corp our man in frankfurt. so we now know that britain will officially happen at eleven pm one hour before midnight on friday the twenty ninth of march two thousand and nineteen. first of all what exactly will change when the bell rings eleven. well i think this really all depends about those future talks where you know you just mentioned. that britain really needs to come with a plan also how they want to finance the bill because so much uncertainty is happening at the moment we are getting also worse there was a research paper actually released today that germany could be in the position of having to pay a much more money after that is really in place where you remember that every country in the european union pays a certain amount of the european union every year and the u.k. has been so far the third biggest payer with about ten point two billion euros paying every year so now of course there s the question who is going to pay this money in the future and there are those speculation that germany might have to pay an additional three point eight billion and friends also another one point two billion euros arrives adelia how investors then preparing for a no deal breaks it just briefly please. well there are certainly preparing are for hard breaks at the moment and they really want to have those clarifications of bricks of bill the rights of european citizens so as so much still on the table and for the moment there really is say a thinking that it s not going to be possible in this time frame to have everything pretty much a great or identical in frankford thank you so much for this. and from directed to climate change we need to tackle that too don t we it s all in the how do we cram it all in half an hour and we do it all did well this week d.w. has been reporting from the united nations climate summit in bonn the big topic is how to reduce carbon dioxide emissions united states has long been one of the world s biggest emitters of greenhouse gases but an american city once known for its muggy skies is showing that it is possible to cut pollution pittsburgh pennsylvania is undergoing a transformation as t.w. correspondent caso phenomena reports. this is the old image of pittsburgh a city of steel and coal where the chimney stacks never stop birching smoke and west read lights had to be left on twenty four hours a day because of the smog blocked out the sun but today s reality is a different one the city has cleaned up its act and instead of heavy industry banks and high tech companies are now providing jobs for a growing population more than thirteen thousand pittsburghers are employed in the clean energy sector alone in companies such as ever power which operates wind farms in pennsylvania new york and is developing projects in other states too for co-founder and recall of best ski pittsburgh is the perfect place for innovative businesses i think it s the people you know it s great town pool here young people from some of the best universities in the country. also from the cultural standpoint you know there s a lot to offer we have three professional teams at the l.a. we have symphony we have the opera so many things that can draw great talent. pittsburgh s transformation as the result of a concerted effort by the city government to attract startups and other businesses while at the same time keeping an eye on environmental and social issues one of the people working on pittsburgh s turnaround is development analyst sarah yeager. to take a holistic approach as how can we improve pittsburgh. well this is creating more jobs more low income housing access to public transportation fossil fuel free vehicles so electrifying our fleet access to more bike lanes i really how can we improve the quality of life for everybody and pittsburgh. another key factor in the city s formula for success is pittsburgh s colleges like carnegie mellon university many who started here at cmu have established themselves in the new economy founding startups in the vicinity of the campus and turning them into vibrant enterprises professor jean yang a specialist for programming languages is full of praise for the almost symbiotic relationship between scientists and tech companies here for instance do a lingo was started by lease on and he had this actual office for a long time before he left for doing go all together and so a lot of the tooling of people involved with cmu they come back here to listen to talks to speak. and everything is quite close so the people are companies they ll show up to talks here people here they ll spend some time at the company s jean yang grew up in pittsburgh when it was still a byword for the american rust belt as soon as she finished school she moved away like so many other talents and young people at the time and expected never to return now she s back in her hometown and enjoys not only great working conditions but also a new quality of life in her old neighborhood these are places where it was pretty sketchy to walk outside there after dark and i was just way inside for my parents to pick me up i wouldn t go outside on my own and when i came back i realize that wow there are all these bars there now there are restaurants the buildings are outside they still look pretty much the same but what s going on inside really it s like night and day so pittsburgh clearly is on the way up again with young people flocking to the city and the prospect. even better times ahead for the next generation. or carbon emissions or may well be the main topic of the cup twenty three summit here in germany it s not have the only one or of the resources most threatened by climate change water resource essential to human life climate change means water supplies have already been disrupted threatening ecosystems people s livelihoods and health. i look professional is president of the world at water council and joins us from the u.n. climate conference in bob welcome to the w. your organization has said that investment in water water infrastructure can reduce the impact of climate change how. good afternoon first and thanks to the german people to host to these the scope. we are trying to place today were trained to place water in the center of the climate debate water is very necessary for life and this is syria on the one hand for development but necessary on the other hand for nature conservation and the problem is two of the well balanced between the two priorities that s the. main fight also we need to have a a very strong link between water and energy same fight water and energy to help poor people these cope is that mainly devoted to adaptation more than mediation and we are trying to push this solution is to have most of the poke around trees to be able to receive the ferns which are now on the table but they are not sometimes able to present their projects because they are poor in capacities and in human then financial capacity ok so give us an example that of how investment in water infrastructure can mitigate the effects of climate change. a few examples for example the one in sydney galley in africa. very moment. you know or populations in africa are growing increasingly very fast. they. need. a water resource infrastructure which could be hable to bring poppy bring water to the book relation but also for agriculture and they could profit they could get profit from the difference turns blue for green fern adaptation fern which had been created during the last pope but the question for hearst the world what a council is to help them to behave or to receive these ferns which is a reason i m and a very complex and complicated bureaucracy a process bureaucratic process i don t like i shall president of the world water council i thank you thank you for now last night is that of football same as for halfway across the world to honduras for the first leg of their world cup laffin

sunday guests former but in this league of player b. sheldon say hello to our very own mike meadows but let s take a look at what s coming up in the show. to woefully underperforming teams colona and brendan go head to head with one shared goal to pick up their first win of the season. high flying hoffenheim probably vote for a group with the championship aspirations on their minds. hi i m bob ofo yes i ll be coming to my guests in a minute but first it s been an absolutely pathetic start to the season for cologne heading into match day nine side had lost seven bundesliga games and drawn just one leaving them i m kurt at the bottom of the table their fifth place finish last season is almost hard to believe their funds are growing angry the republicans this weekend that a brain in another club that don t have much to sing about they haven t won a match in the bundesliga since april desperation was in the air for this early relegation battle. clear support for under pressure cologne coach peter shergold but he suffered a blow before kick off a form of braman strike a cloud ruled out after an injury in the warm up. with john carter also out he s out it was replaced by reserve striker said that see the frenchman must have an eventful day in the basement battle his first half misses with there for all to see . but nothing came close to what happened after the break the twenty one year old somehow failing to hit the target here it will go down as one of the misses of the season. bizzaro scored dozens of those over the years and his old side braman almost snatched it at the death constantine of i was shocking thomas delaney s head of the line. goalless draw was of little use to either coach. it s groundhog day every day seems like we want sympathy or self-pity is not what we need. but after his raft of misses it certainly felt like groundhog day for hapless . so an absolutely terrible result for both cologne and braman really with both still stuck at the bottom of the table it s time to discuss many topics and let s start with you michel did you expect really this result i mean did you not expect a little bit of a better performance from two teams who are struggling so terribly so far this season. eighteen and seventeen is playing against. it s bad it s bad since weeks and everybody they start coming out better better better but there s nothing i can see any any better performance since they won and that s very very tough to see for everybody especially the supporters friends and. enjoy these guys. before i turn to our very own mark meadows mark i want to take a look at a tweet which is quite telling it s from colognes official. twitter account and they say it was an encouraging display now i would call that often is. to the extreme almost what do you think is going wrong at cologne and i mean seeing tweets like that i don t think it s it s really like they re really in reality i mean they re not seeing what s really going on oh yeah i mean fifa last season and it s all going wrong when the main problem of us is they haven t got a striker i mean if you let anthony modeste go to china and you don t replace in then what do you expect i mean the fact that they brought him to zero a thirty nine year old injury prone strike outside the transfer window just shows what desperation they re in so it s not really peter sturgess fault because he can only what he s got is the club s fault for not planning properly and not giving him a squad especially when they re playing in the europa league as well this season i mean he said in his press conference look i m still up for the fight i still believe we can get out of this but you have to worry now i mean it s been so long they can have to wait until january. and try and get a striker in just someone who can bang the ball net well they want to really get things moving quickly when it michel and you see cordoba is injured now so you have the problems coming bigger it s unbelievable what s going on at the moment and we call on desperate times you know what we ve been talking about cologne but let s talk braman i mean you know there s a lot of pressure on sterger but i mean what about nori. cruisers injured too they have to. same problem like cologne and for me i said both both cultures they don t have more time to stay in this club so i think in a few weeks they re. there they re already here now you heard it first from our very own michelle now guys don t go anywhere because we have plenty of other action so let s take a look at some other games unlike cologne and braman the freiburg had to seem well set in their jobs despite average starts to this season s campaign they both made the europa league places last season but this term is looking trickier homesite freiburg went in front through this penalty from me. at the start of the second half. for the spot after seventy seven minutes. and just four minutes later that s right how do you have another chance this time he scored one all in finish a looking point for the berliners and certainly a frustrating one for friedberg. now hosts evolves burger having a less than impressive start to the season they d only won one game heading into march day nine but since it took over the wolves have avoided a defeat at least hoffenheim on the other hand have their sights set on joining the pack fighting to win the bundesliga title union man side were on a high after picking up the club s first ever european win in the europa league during the week but could they keep up the temple let s take a look. yulian not goldman s hoffenheim were aiming to stay in the mix at the top of the table as they paid a visit to the hungry wolves but the home team blew a big early chance when maximilian arnold saw his penalty stopped by all of about a man who somehow managed to get a boot on it. the encounter could charitably be called a slow burner until the seventy second minute that s when myself brought down benyamin who have now in the box. no doubt about the decision penalty for hoffenheim kerim demi did the honors and showed how it s done. one nil. cone castille is moving the wrong way on this one. but spork sprang to life and added time a corner from daniel and félix order of powered it in with his head one. now let it go for it from the german defender and that s how it ended the wolves snatched victory away from not goes munns team dropping off and time further away from the league s top three. well the match day nine conversation continues i m going to go straight to michelle on a quick word on hazard of course your old team what is going wrong there why are they not firing. so many points or zero but there s no quality in the team they have no strikers and no no the body language of appalled that i don t like it at the moment is totally different than. in the beginning of his career as a coach of how to blend and that s the point of everything in this for the moment no one knows what s going on the next weeks when you re concerned that s for sure michelle looks sad and concerned with mark but i m going to bring we re going to talk about how often i m never a second another point drop they ve slipped up they had that chance really to kind of move even closer to the running back to the leading pack should their fans be worried a little bit too much to ask that yeah i mean therefore they finished last season and they re still in dreamland they re up there but i think the problem is. it s a little unfair what s going on there because obviously everyone s kind of off expecting to go to buy and munich and he s got all this pressure and he s like an old dition it s like a season long oldish and i think someone needs to basically come out and say from by munich we want him we don t want him and then he knows either way well he doesn t know he s kind of thinking god if i drop a point here a point there my chances gone and maybe that s transmitted to the players but as we say fall for isn t too bad at this stage of the season it s not really that but i want to bring you in quickly on what do you are you worried do you think that they re going to manage to stay up there with the leading pack or early going to slip up maybe a few more times they re going to stay they re definitely yes union he s doing a tremendous job and they re all the players they are happy and we will we will see it on different games don t worry about this ok well that s some positive words there are concerns are admirable and because now it s time to look at the results from the weekend as a whole so let s bring those results up and as we know we ve already seen that cologne vetter braman still without a win this season will all freiburg drew with have their berlin for. as for another drop there and that was with huff and haim homburg slipped up against a bar and you know david dreadful that run of form they re actually against bar munich or rb leipzig beach guard glad terrible result for them against laver coups and frankfurt through two all with dortmund slipped up against hanover and a good result on friday for shell that beat months. now go it s time to take a look at the table at the end of match day nine and there s no change at the top dortmund remain top of the table with biron in second tied on points in third hoffenheim are just a few points behind in fourth shellac and hung over move up after their respective victories and the other end absolutely no change at the bottom with cologne and braman still without a victory this season. now guys i want to ask you something really quickly to think there s going to be any change then the bottom you think cologne are going to manage to do something about this dreadful reform briefly. it all hangs on and generally doesn t it they have to bring a proper striker and in general try and get modest back i don t think he s happy in china to be honest there might go back to colombo i don t believe that i don t believe that but what i think is maybe is taken some players under seventy under one thousand nine hundred something fresh was not thinking in the box something like that could be a point to point a marker scratch the time. goes well that s you power is the home of german football and we want to share the experience with you all the time every much day and in between two there s all sorts of ways you can keep in touch be it on our website it details you dot com or on facebook or twitter and here are all the addresses please write to us with your comments and questions and tell us your big talking points to make an address to the show that s all the time for us on the big in this league thank you to our guests michelle didn t say these markets. it. can only process by a diversity. and to do this even if just in the last five months so we are quite happy little i.d.s.
stores in paris dress up their window displays for the holidays and they ve been doing that for decades. it s a tradition that many persians both young and old look forward to at this time of year it s a book they ve used to feel it s the magic of christmas if we re trying to you like . oh well i think they re important the department stores do them every year and the children are happy. i wanted to come and see them they re always different and i change it s nice a sign of christmas in. the christmas window displays at the big department stores are true works of art they re more inventive and more surprising every passing year the tradition started in the early twentieth century. you kinda know what i think the christmas windows were created after world war one and during a depressing time. they were meant to raise the morale of the persians and all the french. i think. the department store credit tong has taken part in this festive tradition from the very start. planning the various themes can take up to a year and setting up the scenes takes three months. public makers young club day he has been decorating these windows with his magical creations for forty two years. that s it the new one i think that s the now this year we ve placed movable figures in the windows travel around twelve hundred kilometers over the next month . the characters are made of stainless steel so they re quite hard and heavy so that was the challenge i had this year with them. but he had. some of the windows have a specific story to tell. and the lead on that last year we created two characters and violette. and this year they re going on an adventure as explorers to look for presents from all over the world. other big reason department stores take part in this tradition too while the famous vary from window to window and store to store the general idea is the same to create a festive atmosphere in the run up to christmas. in the mean time at berlin s most exclusive department store caught evade the christmas spirit is also taking hold in the decorative windows and displays. here too animated figures are placed in amusing settings to catch the eye of passers by. the mountain is on the shelf and so by we ve created special windows because we want the people to stand here a while and then come into the store. it s important that we tell a story and not just try to sell things. to create emotions and an experience that people want to talk about and then come back again. london is also one of the top addresses when it comes to beautiful christmas shop windows. at the famous department store harrods the shop windows are always original and elaborately designed. and at harvey nichols department store christmas looks like a big wild party. that suffragist the santas are in a festive mood and things are buzzing. with good. morning to none doesn t from none from looking at christmas me nothing. it s a fist you. know you could mean by not wearing a suit the christmas week. meanwhile back in paris the streets are live with the usual hustle and bustle. but sometimes local residents and tourists alike take time out to notice some window display were too. much as you can see they took time to create the windows and make their ideas come true. this is the. i love them they re super i find they re full of light simply beautiful and magnificent. christmas may still be a few weeks away but the decorative windows in various european capitals are a great way to get into the holiday spirit. heading up north now to barragan in norway where all the stops are also pulled out for christmas now every year since one thousand nine hundred one all the schools kindergartens and local businesses come together to create can dream that they re all sitting in a pole or go into the. merry go round we want to give them. a sky thing from their reality and to. from brazil am. local residents pitched in to help build gingerbread city kindergartens schools families and local societies all got involved. a total of ten thousand volunteers contributed to the tiny town including members of americans a coastal culture center. form our instrument making together has become a tradition there. as i enjoy this work and it s a. great form. you know like something nice for christmas. gingerbread artists drew inspiration from the old buildings around the coastal culture center. they used to store dried codfish now they house museums or they function as tool sheds combine this with a pinch of creativity and you get some great results. cares to brock s stuff was getting gingerbread creations right up to the very last minute so improvisation was key. you never know what you get so then you maybe have to change the nonstick a bit when if we get a photo with. paris a small paris and then we get. the kremlin cathedral and then have to make space. rocks dot and her team of thirty work for about a month to transform the four hundred square metres of a former swimming pool into a hilly winter wonderland. steiner kristofferson began the festive tradition twenty six years ago back then it was more of a gingerbread hamlet. the idea came in ninety ninety one. when i was a marketing director found that we had an exhibition area what we wanted to do something put into. we got the idea of making the gingerbread city. since then bergen s gingerbread town has morphed into a major tourist attraction some one hundred thousand visitors flock to see it each year. some of them even join in to help build the town. there were five hours together and building all these houses and all these features. in them used to go for children and families call for christmas the magic of christmas will be made if. it s the. train that goes up and down the hills in vegas you can get my kids build a different game house each year this year s theme was halloween. the architecture of the miniature town is certainly diverse the train chugging along the tiny track leads from buildings in the norwegian style to the eiffel tower and maybe a short stop at london s iconic big bands. bergen s delectable gingerbread city will be on display throughout the christmas season until december thirty first. and of course the christmas season wouldn t be complete without some winter sports especially to help burn off all those calories from the gingerbread so what next we are headed to zack opining a winter sports resort located right in the south of poland near the border with slovakia now at a thousand meters above sea level it s poland s highest town

pleasant way to view the cultural highlights of zac upon it is from a horse drawn carriage the typical architecture of the region is known as a style. this small wooden chalet like houses feature high point of roofs eaves and decorations influenced by the art nouveau movement. one of the oldest buildings in the town is the villa built in the eight hundred ninety s. today it houses a museum of

and are on display in many churches and museums wood is the typical material of the region . of the secret it s part of our tradition in the us lots of wooden boards when i cook ok you have to replace

to really stand out from the crowd you can build your own snowboard or skis like these. participants in a two day workshop in far one near the bavarian town of garmisch but learn how to make the models that suit them best. on their start to climb out of the rock so to speak you can t always buy what you need i realized at least small but i can t use kids boards because they have smaller feet now i can adjust the width and size and that s very good because on the comfort i have an absolutely no idea how skis are made out of it s really exciting to learn how much technology there is and skis and taking them space. built ski starts with a vase some round which in metal border is formed. then comes the wood core it s bolstered with two wood strips to give the boards the necessary tension workshop instructors me i didn t shrink and. mainly use ashwood a long fiber wood that is tough but elastic. and form and if you can shape the wood well and it gives you or to really get resilience. it s very malleable but if so you get good tension in the ski. season that enables us to not just ask you what is great what decision this is what the customer wants. and what a coup is going to hit the. between the layers come sheets of glass fiber fabric the students learn how to attach them with a liquid. in the length with think miss and tension of the ski are adjusted to their individual needs. and finally it s time for the personal design. whether a glass of the skiers favorite group or photos of friends. then the skis and boards are vacuum packed and play. east in an oven for curing at eighty degrees celsius. this is i know for. one square this is one of the advantages that we have compared to the store but scant can see from the time it does me that we can really

think he would go. after they ve hardened in the oven for fourteen hours the skis and snowboards are almost ready they just have to be cut out of the form using a jigsaw. then edges are sanded down to remove any excess material and even less. now all that s left to do is mount the binding. document and i m really pleased with the result my parents are perfectly centered but apart from that it s a great scheme. if you have been coming to really i had problems curbing the edges because i couldn t get the ox right at first. and i had trouble cutting it out when it came out of the oven it was the

a very one sided and unfair one but but i don t blame china. after all. who can blame a country for being able to take advantage of another country. for the benefit of its citizens i give china great credit. to be softening his rhetoric that back over to you sophie how significant is this two hundred fifty billion dollar trade package then we are to be honest it seems like this deal was meant to revive headlines more than the economy analysts are saying yes there are some specific big companies that try to try to strike a deal for like boeing but at the same time they said this summit would only feature more problems than anything else would likely lead to for the stance of just weeks before the current license expires glad to say it is vital for the industrial farming methods that put everything from sugar to bread on the dining table and although supporters say it s both cheap and easy to use critics say it s not one hundred percent proven that it does not pose health risks to humans. ok. so. this small group of protesters assembled outside the european commission had a clear message for lawmakers they want to see the pesticide produced by u.s. company monsanto and studies have come to different conclusions about any potential link between blackest night and cancer bill surprise then that each member states have failed to reach a consensus on the weed killer future fourteen countries voted to renew its license nine voted against and five abstained we see you know that most of the member states who voted supported our proposal we also see no support in the european parliament so i think we have a good track here when using the weed killer as license would have required sixteen votes in favor antique life is a campaigners are hailing the outcome as a victory. more sun wanted fifteen more years and they can even get five as we saw today. this is the seventh time that the commission has tried to ring you back to say it has failed and it s clear that

i m going to stay in agriculture now can genetically modify plants save farmers livelihoods that s the hope and uganda where current crop failures are provoking the government to take action but organic farmers will of course miss out to be certified as organic in the west their fruit and vegetables cannot contain traces of genetically modified organisms julius mogambo reports. this would have been a bumper harvest in central uganda but you know to this season. plant tain has failed to yield and farmers are worried. really affect us badly. this is a staple food but we can t rely on it this time. because of crop diseases. from the government has done to science for a solution uganda s parliament has passed a law allowing scientists to roll out genetically modified crops like bananas for commercial production it. would. mean an afflicted with genetically modified crops government is assured of feeding its growing population. but exporters a warning about trade implications. uganda is one of africa s top exporters for organic food last year a country of fifty eight million u.s. dollars from organic exports outside the continent action will be hard definitely because we have to prove that. there s no contamination and they are not traces of g.m. or not productive it s going to be a little bit harder than it has always been but there must threat i see in the near future if nothing is done about the situation is that you are going to become less competitive. globally genetically modified crops are controversial. this is mainly on grounds of safety and the environment. their commercial rights how votes are being subjected to scrutiny but you re going to seize it as widely as solitude. government s primary aim is to assure that this farmer can have food for his family and sustainable income all year round. saudi authorities have questioned over two hundred people in a high profile anti corruption probe involving princes billionaire businessman and cabinet
