Cheers, michael. Welcome back to the weekend, everyone. Election day is 66 weeks i gave early voting kicks off in pennsylvania in just 16 days. To win, vice president kamala harris knows democrats need to grow their coalition and part of that means reaching out to conservative leaning voters. In her first major interview as a democratic nominee, she promised to welcome republican voices to her administration if she wins in november. I have spent my career inviting diversity of opinion. I think it is important to have people at the table when some of the most important decisions are being made that have different views, different experiences. I think it would be to the benefit of the american public to have a member of my cabinet who was a republican. Joining us now is olivia troye, former homeland security and terrorism adviser to mike pence. When i heard that i was like, that michael steele for commerce secretary. I could put on a tie. I would be happy to do that. It would be an honor

Hi, everybody. Its 4 00 in washington. Im jen psaki in today for nicolle wallace. You can ask someone to find 11,000 votes in georgia, we know someone who did, or you can go out and earn them. Thats how it should be done. Stump for them, shake hands, kiss a lot of babies for them. Show up places where people might be priced to see you because their community is very much in favor of your opponent. Youre wondering why youre there. Even in the course of an election both candidates insist is the most important of our lifetimes, theres nothing quite like a good oldfashioned barnstorming. With that plane door opening in savannah moments ago, right there, Vice President harris, back on the trail in a freshly painted bus. Maybe well get to see inside the bus. Well see over the next two hours. We should expect to see more of them well bring that to you as it comes as well. Their mission over the next day and a half in georgia is to boldly go where so few democrats, at least ones running for pr
Evaluations right now. With not having a lot of positive sentiment coming from us investors, the companies obviously are trying to figure out how to appeal to a new set of investors that can offer a better valuation or recognise better valuation. So obviously asia based investors understand the company better, they understand china better. They are less worried about the environment in china in general again, more from a political and trade perspective as opposed to the economy, certainly the economy in china is not great.

Its a move that could exacerbate Trade Tensions between western countries and china. From october, canada will impose 100 tariffs on Electric Vehicles from china. This is on top of the most favoured nation tariff of 6. 1 already slapped on to chinese produced evs that are imported to canada. The government also intends to apply a 25 tariff on imports of steel and aluminium products from china. Canadas finance minister, chrystia freeland, said these measures were about protecting its domestic producers. The reality is china has an intentional, state directed policy of overcapacity and oversupply, designed designed to cripple our own industries. Talk to the steel sector, talk to the aluminium sector to understand how effective that has already been, and we simply will not allow that to happen to our ev sector. The auto tariffs bring canada in line with its southern neighbour. The us introduced 100 tariffs on chinese made evs back in may, whilst the eu is also imposing higher tariffs. It
