the u.s. and cuba. two days ago, the trump administration announced a series of regulatory changes designed to roll back the obama administration strategy of maximizing engagement with the people of cuba. a few months from now, cuba will undergo a historic leadership transition while reckoning with a moribund economy, demographic challenges and a relationship with the u.s. that is rapidly deteriorating as a result of president trump's policy changes and still unresolved sonic attacks against u.s. diplomats. in fact the diplomatic drawdown in havana had a direct impact on this event as the suspension of visa services in havana prevented us from bringing a speaker from cuba to participate in today's discussion. nonetheless, to help us make sense of what has happened and to assess what the future might bring for u.s. and cuba, we are privileged to welcome to the dialogue three distinguished friends and colleagues with decades of experience working on cuba. to my immediate left, emily mendrala is

where u.s. president donald trump said that the u.s. will quote handle the latest ballistic missile test by north korea he says america will impose additional sanctions on pyongyang is also called on china to use all available levers to influence north korea for its part china has voiced grave concern and. surprise it has called for talks to resolve the crisis the yanks claims that its latest test launches a new type of missile and some experts believe it's now capable of hitting the united states mainland. north korea claims it has become a global nuclear power after a lot of over two months it's again fired an intercontinental ballistic missile this one flew much higher than previous ones before landing in the sea of japan. state media announced the news in a special broadcast is that the launch was a complete success and that the new missile represented a giant leap forward pyongyang claims this brings the whole u.s. mainland within its range a direct challenge to donald trump but this time the u.s. president's reaction was more mute

you know in your opinion how does the u.s. go beyond what it already has it already has extreme vetting according to the u.s. president. well he's he's absolutely right the united states has been vetting immigrants has been vetting refugees up to a degree that hardly anyone from the middle east can come into the country anymore especially from countries where refugees do need do need a place to go to like syria like libya and other countries i think that the president president from is politicizing the event just like like the demo democrats would have it and at the same time i think that the united states states is doing too much what the european europeans are not doing we have seen that refugees some refugees might pose pose a security threat we have seen that in germany where refugees have been responsible for most of the terrorist plots in two thousand and sixteen and two thousand and seventeen i think that the problem here in the u.s. is different you won't solve the problem by vetting more refugees here in the u.s. we d

i think the u.s. is an even more interesting question. why is the u.s. tends and 30's so resilient? career,t traded all my one of the hardest things to get right in fixed income is the 10 year treasury. when you think you get it right, the formality is discounted. if you like the 10 year treasury , they know that the fed look at the two and two and a quarter and they are done. we do not see much higher at tens or 30's. imf saying it is a fantastic investment, but the 10 year and 30 year knows, that is what we would say. lisa: i love the idea of martians coming down and looking at european data and deciding what is happening. i would be very confused on many fronts. i would say europe is dealing with what the u.s. is dealing with not so long ago. it is a goldilocks scenario, just to use the jargon of the time. growth is accelerating but it is not that great. you're not seen that much wage presser. the ecb is continuing. jonathan: typically with rates as low as they are and yields, you have a decision. you go further along the curve, or you go further along the risk curve, which means

u.s., the keystone pipeline leaks 210,000 gallons of oil in south dakota. >> it is something we have been saying all along, every pipeline is going to spill, is going to leak. amy: we'll speak with tom goldtooth of the indigenous environmental network about the spill and his new report on carbon trading. all that and more, coming up. welcome to democracy now!, democracynow.org, the war and peace report. i'm amy goodman. we are reporting from bonn, germany. back in the u.s. on capitol hill, republican lawmakers are moving closer to pass a sweeping $1.5 trillion tax cut that largely benefits the wealthy and the nation's largest corporations. the house passed its version of the bill on thursday by a vote of 227 to 205. 13 republicans joined democrats in opposing the legislation. the massive tax cut was approved without the house holding a single hearing. hours later, the senate finance committee approved its own version of the bill but it is unclear if the republicans have enough votes for it

u.s. president donald trump being greeted there on the tarmac. we're awaiting his speech to u.s. forces there at the air base. and ahead of his arrival trump's aides have out lined the key goals of this trip. what does donald trump want to achieve in asia? >> reporter: christy, i just want to let you know if you're throwing a question to me and let our control room know, our behind the scene folks know, i do not hear our programming anymore. but, yes, president trump is expected to address u.s. troops any moment now. he just arrived a few moments ago as you saw with the first lady. and as you said, he's going to continue this warm relationship he had with the japanese prime minister shinzo abe. they are expected to after these remarks to u.s. troops just outside tokyo, they are expected to have a round of golf before having dinner later on tonight and the president spending the night here in japan. and then one more day in japan here in tokyo before he heads off to south korea. but as you

a u.s. jury acquits the man accused of masterminding the two thousand and twelve and galaxy attack serious charges. in a year on from a plane crash that killed nineteen brazilian plan we'll look at how much of a quinsey has rebuilt it's. so north korea says it has successfully launched a new intercontinental ballistic missile that can reach all of the u.s. mainland the announcement was made in the last half an hour on state t.v. kim jong un said the state's new capabilities are completed and says a rocket reached four thousand kilometers an altitude never before seen from a north korean weapon let's go straight away live to kathy novak is in seoul and kathy tell us more about this announcement what else is north korea saying. north korea says this is a new type of missile that has not been seen before the hot saucing fifteen it's calling it we saw the test launches of intercontinental range ballistic missiles back in july those were some fourteen so what north korea saying here is that this

military bases serves as a reason stronghold of u.s. influence which many see as having declined in comparison to a rising china but in twenty fifteen the the philippines were handed a world court they said that they have the right to the territorial just. their china laws but their tears came into power and now he just said he basically why waste time even trying to take that position just do deals open golf courses get the trade flowing and this will you know temper down their jihadi is on because they'll be too busy on the back nine you know with a double nasty bet against their friend mom a winner in a few bucks so they can go downtown and smoke a pipe they don't need to be warrant on each other and we can all get along on trump's golf course this whole focus since that whole third way tony blair bill clinton sort of politics where everything is about this notion of human rights and our perception of what human rights are our perception of how people should run their culture and blah blah blah but in the meantime i want to turn to t

lattimer putin says the u.s. is attempting to create problems around next year's presidential election in russia comes in response to moscow's perceived meddling last year. the u.s. justice department demands r.t.m. erica registers as a foreign agent before monday the channel's bank accounts could be frozen if it doesn't comply. with saudi arabia or does it citizens out of lebanon and mediately after the resignation of the saudi foreign lebanese prime minister he made his announcement from riyadh. and prosecutors revealed the true extent of a u.s. navy scandal with hundreds of officers and admirals accused of trading military secrets for sex learning and alcohol being charged though not with espionage but with corruption. a very warm welcome you are watching r.t. international broadcasting to you live from the russian capital with me thank you aaron good to have you with us now the u.s. is trying to slow divisions in russia ahead of marches presidential election now that's according to latimer parroted he added i

all right that was u.s. attorney general there jeff sessions carson you know earlier u.s. president donald trump he appeared to roll back on his suggestion of sending that suspect mr sipe of to guantanamo now it seems that mr sessions is at least holding out the possibility that it may indeed happen what is going on here. the way i understood it mr sessions the attorney general was talking in more general terms about the fact that when it comes to prosecuting and trying terrorism suspects both the military legal system where the detention center and one tunnel and the civilian u.s. justice system pot all the mix one tunnel is mostly used for so-called foreign fighters where as american citizens have a right to be tried in a call it in a proper chords in the u.s. now the suspect tuesday's helloween attack is not a u.s. citizen but he is a legal resident so i think most legal experts agree that he probably should be tried in a court in new york and i think this is what. attorney general sessions said he also said he has full confidence in the civilian courts and he in this w

economy and so the u.s. critics people like yourself are ungrateful unappreciative of that relationship well first of all fifteen of the terrorists who attacked us come from saudi arabia as one of the largest export hers of violence and none pluralism to the world there are ties between saudi arabia and terrorist groups so to argue that they have been a voice for peace or a strong ally is very questionable i think what they say is that they are a counter to iran and they are a counter to iran's dominance in the middle east and that's usually the argument they make and i just don't view the u.s. in gauging in balance of power politics as something that is help why do you think the u.s. is so close to. not just decider of all of the gulf kingdoms none of them democracies is it just a need for cheap oil and gas or is it something else is it something more i think it goes back to the kissinger view of. balance of power politics even in europe and we view that we say if there is a rising power we need to check th

when you have the u.s. tightening or when a central bank is tightening and another one doesn't you will have people go into the dollar, into the currency of the bank that is tightening. you are not seeing that here. if that is not happening, you will not have a stronger dollar is a headwind and the fed can keep hiking. it will not necessarily de -balance the economy. jonathan: i want to turn to alan higgins in london. it is always great to catch up with you. it has been for too long for you and i. bneds two-year versus u.s. treasury two-year. north of 240 basis points. my question is whether the federal reserve can continue going alone from here and if that's right can continue to get wider? alan: nice to talk to you. we can continue to go wider. for fixed-income investors who don't undertake risk they can't catch all that spread. fxyou hedge it out with forwards, you will pay circa 160. you don't capture all that spread anyway. for a fixed income, it is less wide than it may seem. the ecb is on hold doing

the u.s. is not because they can only step out three years from now, so we have to make itt concrete. who is paying, and the green bonds, for example, the clean technology bond, who is taking which steps? little boring,a but it is important because we have to keep track and see where we are in the future. melinda: christopher springate, a skeptic might say we are talking about this for years and years and years, and the projected level of temperature rise, the projected level of sea level rise, remains far too high. say,topher: the skeptics why have such huge conferences? the fact is, it is a truly global challenge, and a truly global issue. it is something that all of the globe's nations have to agree on. i think the key thing to understand is that fighting climate change will only work if everybody is on board. that is why this conference is actually far more important than it appears. if you go back to 2008, the conference in that year failed to do this they do work ahead of in 2009,hagen s

three u.s. aircraft carrier strike groups, the reagan, the theodore roosevelt and ussnimitz are involved in the massive military exercises just off the korean peninsula. it is the largest display of u.s. naval strength in the western pacific in a decade. if there was a conflict with north korea they could launch a fighter jet off the carrier once every 20 seconds. but of course they then have to get all the fighter jets back on board. this is how they do it. >> all of this together, the whole u.s. military, sends the message that we are ready to defend ourselves. >> rear admiral mark dalton commands one of the strike groups. he says having three carriers that the support more than 200 aircraft, is a rare training opportunity. >> does this more closely milling a real life conflict situation, a war time situation? >> the more strike groups that you can get together, the more complex it is. and, and, so we get training value out of that. >> but these u.s.-led exercises infuriate north korea. which

u.s.,s surplus over the $23 billion u.s. so, they want to see sometimes from the chinese to address that balance in some way. have northurse, you korea. seoulrd from trump in earlier. they really want china to knuckle them on sanctions. they want to assure that the noose the run north korea continues to tighten. ross addressed the people. we are expecting more big-ticket deals in the next few hours, and tomorrow as well. right now we are seeing this personal relationship between trump and xi being foreged once again after that mar-a-lago trip. they are having a private talk, president trump and melania, and they will be dining with president xi and his wife this evening. francine: what do the actual deals represent, with from the numbers, tom? wantgine a lot of ceo's to talk about things that are more concrete, like access to chinese markets. will the president address that? yeah, that is going to be addressed and as you say, that has been a long-running problem. u.s. company operators, as well as european, point to this. ce

the u.s. is urging international action to hold iran accountable to saudi arabia accused her on of direct military aggression over a who see rebel missile strike the saudi crown prince says iran supplied the weapon fired from yemen towards riyadh on saturday to harangue says the accusation is contrary to reality the saudis also face accusations of orchestrating the resignation of lebanon's prime minister so in a honda reports from beirut. it has been three days since lebanese prime minister sato had announced his resignation he made his statement in saudi arabia and hasn't returned home since instead he traveled to a saudi ally in the iranian camp for talks on an escalating political crisis back home but the crisis extends beyond lebanon's borders saudi arabia has made clear it wants to curb iranian influence not just here but across the region riyadh is accusing iran of what it called direct military aggression by providing hutu rebels in yemen with rockets used to target the kingdom saudi of

the u.s. ambassador makes a direct plea to china to place greater economic pressure on its ally and neighbor we need china to do more president trot called chinese president xi this morning and told him that we have come to the point that china must cut off the oil from north korea that would be a pivotal step in the world's effort to stop this international pariah but no such pledge from china instead it called again on the u.s. to explore a freeze for free scenario in which north korea would slow its missile program if the u.s. and south korea lowered their military posture on the peninsula this position supported by russia the militant group of what we proposed a solution based along the principle of suspension for suspension which in visions of d.p. r. k. stopping missile tests while at the same time the u.s. and south korea decreasing the scale of their military exercises this in turn will pave the way for the principles of peaceful coexistence and peaceful discussions between washington

now a u.s. congressional committee has barred our journalists from reporting from capitol hill by revoking their accreditation it's like the r.t. america's new foreign agent status best despite early assurances from the state department that the status would not stand in the way of our reporting here's the letter r.t. america received from congress the executive committee of the congressional radio and television correspondents galleries exercised its authority to withdraw all the news credentials of the r.t. network this action was taken in response to the registration of the art you know at work as a foreign agent. when the united states tells someone to register under a foreign agent requirement we don't impacts or affect the ability of them to. report. news and information we just have to register it's a simple as that seems to be the opposite of what heather nauert said because as of the moment we've received this letter which is essentially telling us that our ability to operate as a news

what should the u.s. position be? >> i think the u.s. a honest,ration -- to be it is hopeless with the white house and her only hope is with congress and the senators will have better sympathy to with the situation in yemen. no question that the u.s. has its and in what is going on in yemen. they are a participant in creating the world's largest humanitarian crisis. they are participants in creating the largest famine that we will see, that the u.n. officials was talking about earlier. i think the u.s. administration has to admit that it is giving its political backing to the saudi have had led coalition. -- saudi-led coalition. it is giving support with arms sales and the intelligence and majestic assistance to the military operation. plus, even with a total blockade, the u.s. navy has ports80% control over the to yemen. so absolutely, this is what is going on in yemen is absolutely relevant to the u.s. administration. from my meeting so far, there have been some positive feedback. as a journalist, i was able to meet and talk and report

u.s. troops at the uss arizona memorial in pearl harbor. he later attended a social function hosted by the u.s. pacific command. >> president trump will be away from the white house and his domestic troubles for almost two weeks. we get the latest from ryan nobles in honolulu. >> reporter: longest trim of the donald trump administration is now under way and the longest trip by any president of the united states since the george h.w. bush administration and the president en route to hawaii, the first leg of this trip, was busy on twitter talking about bernie sanders and hillary clinton and also bowe bergdahl, the army soldier who escaped jail time. the president did tweet once about his trip, but he hasn't talked a lot about this trip in the weeks leading up to the event. this despite the fact that it will be vital to his administration and their goals particularly as it relates to north korea and the growing tensions with the kim jong-un administration. the president will meet with leaders

national security agency we actually had a statement from the u.s. homeland security secretary regarding kaspersky laboratory this is what she said. their risk that the russian government by their action on its own but in collaboration with conspiracy could capitalize on access provided by kaspersky products to compromise federal information and information systems directly implicates u.s. national security. but we have a response from kaspersky laboratory they said the company has never helped with nor will ever help any government in the world with cyber espionage or offensive cyber efforts that was their response they say they're a software company they're not involved in spying or cyber espionage or any of that kind of thing and now we have this release this hive in vault eight from wiki leaks showing that the cia had a program of imitating disperse the laboratory leaving centrally false digital fingerprints to look as if it was a laboratory there are three examples listed in the wiki leaks documents showing examples of a fake certificate on anti

the u.s. congress is beginning to examine the official response to hurricane maria six weeks after the storm devastated the territory of puerto rico but there are accusations that they only want to hear from those who give the trumpet ministration a positive review jab returns he reports from washington. six weeks to the day after hurricane maria devastated puerto rico the mayor of san juan was scheduled to be giving testimony at a congressional hearing on the u.s. government's response not holding this press conference in a corridor on capitol hill thank you very much but the hearing was scrapped by republicans once they heard that a democratic congressman had invited the outspoken man to testify why do you think the republicans cancelled today's hearings. i don't know the fact is that they did not the fact is that with that they tried to silence the voice. and the voices that i represent and they did not accomplish i think they know it's very difficult. have a dialogue look good when actions

now the u.s. president and his to his counterpart have apparently agreed to cut weapons supplies to kurdish fighters who are battling eisel in syria it was revealed by the turkish foreign minister following a phone conversation between the two leaders. mr trump clearly stated that he had given clear instructions not to provide you with arms and additional incidents should have ended long ago. however the white house was less specific on the details of that conversation it confirmed that the call did take place but didn't mention the kurds instead saying donald trump informed president about upcoming adjustments to the military support being provided to america's partners on the ground in syria however whether those adjustments will actually affect washington support of the kurds still isn't clear in particular the us directly supplies them with various types of weapons and supports their military operations with air strikes but it's been a major sticking point between america and which considers k

they were using u.s. weapons to attack kurdistan, peshmerga, u.s. allies, and strategy is not clear. >> i agree with you. u.s. military has whitewashed the roles of shia militia inside iraq. these are militias -- they are under an umbrella called the popular mobilization forces. its operations leader is an individual who is listed as a specially designated global terrorist by the u.s. government. in his designation, he is listed as an advisor. the popular mobilization forces today is -- reports directly to he prime minister of iraq. it is institutionalized as an official arm of the iraqi military, but again, only reports to the prime minister. the u.s. military, state department has whitewashed this issue. their position has been that they are part of the official government. ne of these organizations is listed as a foreign terrorist organization. all of the key groups in the popular mobilization forces, all of the largest militias, the most influential, powerful that have been at the forefront of the iraqi offenses in every major city in iraq are a

the u.s. billionaire soros and here on it clearly is one of the donors to the investigative investigative consortium who brought out the story ok that makes you think you know of course we saw it in the reporters as well donald trump's commerce secretary wilbur ross is also in those papers and that's quite juicy because it it somehow has to do with the russia connections it is complicated and it is juicy wilbur ross apparently has kept vestments complicated offshore investments. in a shipping firm navigator which is doing business with a russian firm which has ties to the in the circle of. president putin so this is a little dodgy anyway but at the same time wilbur ross is meant to control the business he's investing in and he profits from a firm which which is run by all the guards who are western sanctions and the third bid is currently investigations of course going on to look into russia being involved in to donald trump's campaigning no question my tax avoidance first of all it is in itse

welcome back u.s. president said the better relations with russia would be key to solving world crises like syria and north korea he was speaking a day after the apec summit in vietnam. we have to get to work to solve syria to solve north korea to solve ukraine to solve terrorism and i feel that having russia in a friendly partial as opposed to always fighting with them is an asset to the world and an asset to our country not a liability getting along with other nations is a good thing not a bad thing believe me the formal meeting between the russian and us president had been highly anticipated but never happened apparently due to shuttling problems nevertheless the two leaders did briefly catch up on the summit sidelines and they released a joint statement on the situation in syria. they confirmed their determination to defeat islamic state president also agreed that there can be no military solution to the conflict in syria they added a final political settlement should be found through the geneva ta

the u.s. hasn't always been treated fairly when it comes to doing business here. he, once again, said other players had been undermined in the push toward free trade listen to what president trump had to say about his vision for the future >> the united states is prepared to work with each of the leaders in this room today to achieve mutually beneficial commerce in the interest of both your countries and mine that is the message i am here to deliver. i will make bilateral trade agreements with any indo pacific nation that wants to be our partner and will abide by the principles of fair and resipry col trade. >> reporter: there you have it, president trump talking about fair trade the slight difference we heard today, it wasn't just all about america first. there was a message saying, you, too, will benefit if you put your country first at the end, there was a message of home is the most important place wherever you travel in the world. the u.s. president is driving home, he thinks it is in the

in the u.s., republicans on the house ways and means committee ames to -- aims to release their tax reform bill later today. speaking exclusively to bloomberg, steve mnuchin stressed how crucial getting tax reform through is to the white house. >> this is the president's most important domestic agenda item. we are going to get this passed. the objective is to get it to the president's desk in december. nejra: the uk's government has lost its second cabinet member and a week. failed to tell prime minister theresa may but she held a series -- during a holiday in august. on tuesday, it was revealed that she rejected giving british aid money. ian mccafferty says clarity on brexit will be needed early next year to prevent banks starting to shift jobs out of the country. is bad that instability for business, investments and the economy. he says there will be some movement of banks out of london. institutions are making contingency plans and will start to have to ask to that's have to act soon. -- have

britain and the u.s. but these days solving serious conflict is going to involve more than just political negotiations one sticking point is the ongoing presence of u.s. forces more on the jaclyn volga i thought has been losing territory in syria at breakneck speed and it's all a defeat looks to be on the horizon even the u.s. seems to agree on that front secretary tillerson has engaged a great deal of sort of personal diplomacy on syria the defeat of isis and now that isis in terms of as a physical caliphate will be gone by the end of the year syria has in fact already declared victory over eisel and issued a warning to the u.s. that it's high time they left as well the syrian arab republic again cools for the immediate and unconditional withdrawal of u.s. forces from the territory of the syrian arab republic this presence is an aggression against syria's servants and independence and will be dealt with on this basis. and that shouldn't be a problem given that trump himself has said that america's intere

i look at the u.s./mexico relationship and i think you can point out a few things, but i think it's pretty hard to make that case too. however, i look at the chinese/american relationship and i think you can make a pretty compelling case that it has been really problematic for the united states. by the way, problematic for canada. i don't know mexico as well, but mexico as frankly a huge current account deficit with the world. i suspect china is driving those numbers. i haven't looked at them. this is a common problem that we could be addressing. but in the campaign, president trump equated china and mexico and somehow that has turned into mexico and canada. that's where we are today. >> so what i'm going to do, if there are some questions in the audience, if you would identify yourself and ask the question. no questions from the press, please. just from members of the audience. and i reserve the right as the moderator to amend or reject the question. i wish i had seen the gary arturo traveling road sho
