give us your take. the main thing is, we had the stock market weakness in october running into november, which resulted in quite a lot of policy changes for china, emulating the economy, donald trump has cancelled the 25% tariffs from january that he was going to put on chinese goods, big job macro backdrop in oil price, the federal reserve is in a big race to drop in oil rates. we had a tweet from the president of america saying, i am tariff man, if i don't get a good deal with china, there will be no deal. a new superhero. apparently, he said, make america richer again. the dowjones dropping 800 points! the dowjones dropping 800 points! the markets do not want to tariffs, it throw sand in the gears of global business to have tariffs, i don't think we will have it, there was a lot of soap opera with trump, he is moving toward some kind of deal with china, what he is annoyed about, he likes to brag about what the deal was, when it was a behind closed doors situation, the chinese kept quiet, he was cross

a lot of the energy is used to cool the computers which heat up when they're in use. curtis think that's why. cooling technology requires electricity and water and the electricity powers the fans and the pumps and the water cools the heat exchangers to hear opening and waffles which were in on this idea about the should decide this is called adie about a cooling off of the water evaporates and that lowers the temperature of the top because it's a very efficient and economical process but if it's really hot outside we have to switch over to a large refrigeration system to keep the facility cool the crew trying to you don't miss. the heat that's generated by the servers is a serious problem. i.t. experts and engineers around the world are trying to come up with solutions. lots of people use the internet all day long frequently checking into social media platforms like facebook twitter or youtube and all those billions of clicks use a lot of energy these four young women in berlin are roommates ana martina and natalee use digital technology to organize their home. and th

the cost comparison between the alternative use versus the fetal tissue use? of research? >> i can give you one example. just in regards to, if you want to use humanized mice, to test immune response. so the current, one of the most popular methods as we know, is to obtain the fetal liver and the fetal thymus to generate these human mice from the fetus. but it has been shown in a recent manuscript that if you obtain neonatal thymus, that this is actually more efficient, and more abundant. so that in the end is going to mean that it is going to cost less. so for example, the state that is more abundant, because more than 1,000 fragments can be obtained from one donor. this compares to fetal liver which you can only obtain 20 fragments per aborted fetus. so that means that they can ingraft 50 times more mice per donor, with neonatal tissue, versus total tissue. so just in that one example, it is going to be a cost. >> dr. prentice, do you have anything you would like to add to that? >> not at this time. listen, i appreciate it, there is a lot more directions we can go with a

that has new uses allowable only if conditional use permits were applied. no such conditional use permits have been grants so the al tern is not compliant with existing zoning. it was simply a misleading alternative. it was at the public scoping media that the community first learned of this historic significance 359333. information with held of the developer and the planning department for at least the past three years. in the subsequent draft e.i.r., the planning department managed to develop and study eight different plans. two business the developers, six preservation alternatives but refused to address community's request. and yet the draft e.i.r. takes four full pages, pages 7.1 to 7.4, to list the 26 departments, organizations and companies as well as 76 named experts who helped prepare the draft e.i.r. behind the scenes how many hundreds of other people worked on the project? and yet they were unable to provide what the community had asked for. so, the community did what was beyond either the capability or the intention of the planning department. a

of the us economy. it hasn't been like that for a number of years now, hasn't been like that for a number of years now, ever hasn't been like that for a number of years now, ever since the financial crisis, the car industry has been in trouble. it is so symbolic for the politicians who rule the bread—and—butter, wake america great again...? rule the bread—and—butter, wake america great again. . . ? it is the bread—and—butter of donald trump's pledged to the country. to say that they are not performing well today, it is great timing for him to come out and say, don't worry, we're going to make things better. look at what i negotiated in argentina! absolutely. and the truce that has been agreed to hold off on any new ta riffs been agreed to hold off on any new tariffs between china and the us, we saw the surge on the markets, clearly some optimism returning and a return to more risk sentiment this morning? yeah, it is very much risk on this morning because of that but remember, as we have hear

us/china dispute whether the wto is in trouble because of us/china. another point, concerns with where things are going to the us and china and there are other concerns how the organization evolved or not. the rules we are operating under for the last -- not all of them but for the most part in 1995, agreed in 1995, this is a big driver for things like tpp that attempt to deal with a new economy and happily a lot of those rules are shared by us mca which is good. we do see a big problem in new zealand with growing subsidies. they've always been a problem the only way to deal with those is in geneva. we generally think at some point we need to come back and start to negotiate, i'm not calling for that now. a lot of things need to be done before that can happen. not just the we need new substance and new rules but the dispute settlement body, the sheer holding the thing together, needs a negotiation because contrary to what people say the wto isn't going to march into any capital and make you change your rules. you will meet change your rules because th

thank you so much forjoining us. in his resignation letter, general mattis seems to imply that he and president trump had had a major disagreement over syria. it doesn't just imply it. he is pretty bold about it. this is blistering stuff. he talks repeatedly about america's place in the world, about the cooperation through nato, through coalition building to take on islamic state. these sorts of places that america occupies at the table of world diplomacy and how he feels that the president's foreign policy putting american interests first and only really taking care of american interests is not the sort of foreign policy that he could follow. i think thatis policy that he could follow. i think that is whyjim mattis has decided it was time for him to go. he concludes his letter —based adb president you have the right to have the defence secretary whose views are better aligned with yours on these and other subjects. the announcement yesterday that took eve ryo ne announcement yesterday that took everyone by surpris

it gives us an opportunity as well. the employees q who get up early in the morning and yet can't make ends meet at the end of the month, the mother, the single mother, divorcee who doesn't have the means of improving financial situation and who is no hope, i have seen for the first time the distress of these women. modest retirees who have worked all their lives contributed and to have trouble living off the retirement pensions, people who are fragile, who are handicapped, whose status in society is not sufficiently recognized, their distress is not new, but we had in a cowardly way we had got used to it. and everything seemed to suggest that we have forgotten them. after 40 years, a malaise has emerged of the workers, of villagers, neighborhoods where public services and the diminishing where living conditions have deteriorated. people fear they are not being listened to, , changes, deep changes, new lifestyles which adversely affect our society. and this exists and it exists today. of course, for a year and half we h

before ordering us to kill, they told us tutsis do not want us to rule but later on we came to realise that they had lied to us. according to the former insiders we spoke to, the crackdown of 2015 has now turned into a quiet, orchestrated programme to eliminate opposition. prosper‘s house is not the only site that has reportedly been used as a secret detention centre for political prisoners. at least 21 other torture locations have been reported by victims and intelligence agents to the un, to the civil society organisation, ndondeza, and to the bbc, in these areas of the country. of these 21, we have been able to locate eight sites in the capital with precision, including: muha military camp, the national intelligence agency headquarters, the basement of the ruling party headquarters, containers in the yard of the national water and electricity provider's building, in kigobe, and the headquarters of the police unit in charge of protecting the country's institutions. this is where former president melchior ndadaye was buried. there has been a police presence next to his tomb for year

he went on to insist that "it's time for us to start using our head". one person who remains unconvinced is the outgoing defence secretary, jim mattis, who resigned over the president's plans. mr trump says he is in no hurry to find a permanent successor to general mattis, a sign that he intends to push forward with what he believes is right. it's reported that the pentagon has been asked to draw up plans to severely reduce the number of american troops in afghanistan. many in the military feel there is still much work left to be done there and in syria. and there has been widespread criticism of mr trump's suggestion that the so—called islamic state group have been defeated. even with those questions about his foreign policy, mr trump may well feel that that trip to iraq has been a brief break from the battles he is facing here in washington. there are concerns about the economy, the stock market, and the partial government shutdown which left hundreds of thousands of federal workers over christmas either on unpaid leave or not knowing when they will

the state as their bludgeon so what does that do to us as individuals it makes us literally the property of the state we go back to a concept that was certainly wide throughout the soviet union and i remember still talked about in hungary when i lived there the concept of the wooden language we begin adopting a wooden language because we were afraid to speak in a clear way were afraid of who we might offend and so we actually end up destroying the language itself and i think that's absolutely where we're heading and the concept is group rights but people should realize that the totalitarians that are pushing this should realize once they establish the concept of group rights those groups can change and we know through history favor groups can become disfavor groups there's already a backlash in europe and in the united states thankfully it's not yet violent but if you look at the popularity of someone like jordan peterson for example you have the professor from canada his huge following of silent i would say silent majority who can sense there is something wrong and are afraid to speak o

the words that you used. maybe you can see australia but that gives me cover. [laughter] i don't know if i can fool the people at home but nonetheless with that valedictory nature so i don't have the right to do that but i was looking over the time from the environment from 2016 but new zealand is exactly the same it was in the middle of 2016 that the rules would be written and from new zealand it could be imperative but more importantly, there has to be rules and more concerning this big discussion at the time with tpp and the reality it is imperative of the architecture for a country like new zealand with 5 million people that is where we are dealing with every country bilaterally. so people have talked about the tpp coming into force so if you go back to 2017 just after the trump administration withdrew. but this is the point from that tariff liberalization and then to remove the barriers but i don't want to reject the premise of this event that the approach to the reaction isn't just to be us and china wh

we have known for some time that the us department ofjustice has for some time that the us department of justice has been for some time that the us department ofjustice has been looking into huawei and its activities in relation to iran, but we haven't seen any relation to iran, but we haven't seen any more relation to iran, but we haven't seen any more detail about anything that they potentially may have found. i think that is going to become more clear at that hearing on friday, huawei saying they have had very little information. they have said as faras very little information. they have said as far as they are aware, ms meng hasn't done any kind of wrongdoing, and added in a statement earlier that it complies with all sanctions on the market is that it operates. but this but, of course, is going to heighten tensions between the us and china —— this move. as cfo of huawei, ms meng was one of the leading business figures in china so it will be interesting to see the fallout this creates. in 2017, another chinese company, zte, not as big a still influential, was fined $1.2 billio

huawei, and it's notjust the us. actually, just yesterday in the uk, bt has announced it is not going to be using any huawei equipment in the new 56 networks as well as the existing sg new 56 networks as well as the existing 36 and ag new 5g networks as well as the existing 3g and 4g networks as well, and huawei has been blocked by governments in australia as well as new zealand on concerns, as you mentioned, because of its ties with the communist party. thank you very much for that. let's get some of the day's other news: the french government has abandoned plans to increase fuel taxes in 2019, after weeks of violent demonstrations. a government minister said the increase, scheduled to come into effect from 1january, was being scrapped for the year. four people died and several hundred were injured during the unrest, which included some of the most violent demonstrations seen in paris for decades. a new global climate study says carbon dioxide emissions will reach a record high this year, much of it caused by the bu

they gave us direction. what do you think we need to do one pier at a time or two at a time or certain piers. commissioner gilman said pier 29 is so popular. how do we really use that to springboard off other piers? >> i have a couple thoughts. the different needs in the capital plan. shore side power. we can use the r.f.p. to deliver it to us in two ways. rent from the piers, long-term lease. ask for construction of infrastructure required for some other purpose we don't have capital in our plan to pay for that. the r.f.p. could deliver. we want to think collab berratively. what are the items we want to deliver that they could deliver as part of the broader capital they are brings to rehab stated. you brought up one ever the items on the list. in terms of delivery of multiple piers we are going to look at staff capacity and we want to be cognizant of which piers are selected but also aware we provided pier conditions for 19 and 38 in some detail but not every single pier. we have to rely on our own knowledg

also were around eighty percent we can only sell to industry for uses film material and use the income to finance relief aid projects. we are there with a few notes here. but it's a system under threat african markets which for decades have provided new homes to german cast offs are becoming more selective. uganda for example is making efforts to boost its own small scale textile industry. that's one reason why the economic area the east african community wants to halt imports of secondhand clothes starting next year. it's a move that many say is long overdue but not everyone's applauding after all many consumers in countries like uganda do benefit from access to used european clothes . next on. a lot of people secondhand is the best option for getting quality clothes. secondhand autumn's are often cheap and good plus that charging them can also provide people with an income. through flow mention back in germany the flood of discarded clothes is not such a stop anytime soon so german clothing recycler so x. is working with many major high street retailers to now take back clothing this

allow us to introduce c. elegans. this tiny round when is a favorite object for research is it has a simple body plan and its genome has been completely decoded for example it has been shown to have a gene linked to lifespan and aging it turns out that humans have that gene too it seems that much of the way the age is programmed in our d.n.a. but what exactly does aging involve. we all get old. it's inevitable. no amount of moisturizing will help. and why is that. while aging is controlled by biological process it's. when we're young cell division or my toe says mostly it results in perfect daughter cells genetic material that is damaged. by radiation for example. it's fixed by d.n.a. repair mechanisms. but as we get older there's an accumulation of damage caused by oxygen free radicals radiation errors during my ptosis. our cells become less efficient. we suffer a loss of organ function. in the heart become weaker our lungs no longer work as well. liver and kidney function also start to decline our main organs that f

us and china. what was involved, in that discussion. so very much. >> on the tpp we should point out even though the united states government were through, american companies that operate in those jurisdictions will still benefit. that is good news for them. american farmers and ranchers tends to the export-based from here and bad news for small and medium-sized americans based exporters, they will not benefit from these high standard comprehensive rules and most dynamic fastest-growing part of the world. >> i don't have a lot to add to that. for us, it is a question of having that architecture and being linked into all of these economies, half of them we didn't have agreements with including mexico, canada and japan. one thing i didn't say in the speech, which is driving the way we look at this, there is a tendency to think when negotiating fta or original agreement the job is done when you get ratification or entry but our experience in asia, saying you get a lot of benefit from all the structure

the hackers allegedly targetted the us navy, nasa and a range of us companies. britainjoined washington in holding beijing responsible for the hacking, which also hit companies in europe and asia. in some of the toughest language yet against beijing, christopher wray, the head of the fbi, was fiercely critical of the chinese. no country poses a broader, more severe long—term threat to our nation's economy and cyber infrastructure than china. china's goal, simply put, is to replace the us as the world's leading superpower and they are using illegal methods to get there. that is linked to what we have just been talking about. that is linked to what we have just been talking about. and for more i spoke to the bbc‘s security correspondent gordon corera a little earlier. you have been over in the states talking to us intelligence officials. put today's indictment in the context of what they are learning about what china is trying to do. this is the latest salvo in an ongoing campaign which has really been moving for months now out of washington to try and put pre

he went on to insist that it's time for us to start using our head. one person who remains unconvinced as the outgoing defence secretary, one person who remains unconvinced is the outgoing defence secretary, jim mattis, who resigned over the president's plans. mr trump says he is in no hurry to find a permanent successor to general mattis, a sign that he intends to push forward with what he believes is right. it is reported that the pentagon has been asked to draw up plans to severely reduce the number of american troops in afghanistan. many in the military feel there is still much work left to be done there and in syria. and there has been widespread criticism of mr trump's suggestion that the so—called islamic state group have been defeated. this was the first trip by this commander—in—chief to see his soldiers in a combat zone. but mr trump has given every signal that he wants to be less involved in the middle east, a president who seemingly believes in "america first", and getting involved in other countries only as a last resort. even with

, from all of us. so when i was asked to speak today, of course i said yes because i love to speak. but on this anniversary of that one flash of an instant, i really said that i wouldn't want to if we don't pledge to not mourn the past, but instead look to the legacy of the future. the death of my dad and of harvey is not tragedy, but as opportunity. when i look at willie brown, mayor breed, and honey mahogany, i see the best of our past, our present, and our future. the honor paid to my father is more than a mere honor. his legacy lives in the continued fight to bend the arc of the moral universe towards justice, and in the struggle to ensure that our city keeps its promise of inclusion and opportunity for all of its people. i am grateful to rafael mandelman and tom temprano, and everyone in their office and everyone at city hall who made today possible and who along with so many community leaders fight for an equitiable future where regardless of race, gender identity, culture, class or aspiration ca

, shut us out or eliminate us. we have history in this city. we can directly trace the lgbt civil rights movement back to the corner of turk and taylor where in 1966, the riots was the first documented collective uprising of lgbt individuals in the country. [applause] >> the riots recently inspired the founding of the transgendered cultural district. the first officially recognized transgendered district in this country. [applause] >> it's important that we remember this history. and that we consider how it impacts us today. the tenderloin is still has the highest concentration of trends -- transgender folks in san francisco. this is changing with the tide of new development. the transgendered cultural district was created not just as a way of preserving the importance of the legacy of the tenderloin, but also as a mechanism to push back against the displacement of the transgendered community. it was created to be an advocate to serve as a resource and a safe space. it is has been -- it has been my honor to present

you're using the word us, i think us on earth... no, i appreciate that but, in an ironic sense, you're saying it's the us on earth who will be the catalyst for the them, who you say might colonise other stars, other corners of our universe. none of that can happen without us. well, it can happen without any political decision supported by us. sure, and that's what i'm interested in. but i think going back to the astronomical timescales, we've got as much time for evolution in the future as we've had up till now. moreover, darwinian evolution takes about a million years to evolve a new species, whereas technical innovation takes only a century. so this future evolution is going to be far faster and far less predictable but, of course, i certainly don't think we can imagine that we humans are in any sense the culmination but we should, i think, regard our species, be sort of chauvinistic about our species and not want it to change too much. we've talked in this interview about technologies and we've also talked about ethics and values

ok, i will use our labradors. you go through this and you start with a conversation -- when these people -- you have caller id. when you see the number you do not recognize, my dogs do not pick up the phone. when she sees and email that you -- that looks attraction because it is from some fashion magazine, she clicks on it and now she has just been phished. this is why we are back to education. there are technical vulnerabilities but most of the stuff gets solved in learning and education. we would argue that you would eliminate the majority of the hacks through better procedure and process. say.is what the facts in addition to that, there are vulnerabilities which gets back to ajay's point about patching. the companies are learning about the vulnerabilities. but as they learn about those, you have to update -- if you get an alert from your service provider, telecom or your phone provider, and they say update your software, well, update your software as an individual. fornext thing we recommend the future which ge

use in the marketplace. now, these yesterdays are intended to spark a discussion, and we desperately need social media companies' input. but we have to move quickly. and at some point if they don't work with us, congress will have to act on its own. one thing is clear. the wild, wild west days of social media are comping to an end. third, we need to harden the security of our computer networks, weapon systems and iot devices. many of the their responsibilities for cyber misinformation and disinformation will fall on the government. but our nation's strategic response must also include greater vigilance by the private sector which has frequently resisted efforts to improve the security of their products. for over a decade the united states thoughts it could set a light touch standard for global data protection, by basically avoiding legislation, and while -- let me be the first as a form business guy, i understand regulation can have cost but we have also learned in our country is that inaction can also cause

this is us. for those who are not familiar, we have maps showing where would water go if we don't do anything? nobody wants this to be what 2100 looks like. what is at risk if we don't act? this is 2100 with a 1% coastal storm. it is rare but we will see it in the future. substantial flooding would affect embarcadero and noon nestations, regional transportation and huge jobs and tourism centers on the waterfront. we have done this for the whole city. we elected a lot of data layers and maps from different agencies. it is in a big file and you can have it if you want. the top line is, of course, flooding gets worse over time. the over rise accelerates. we projected 17 miles of street exposed around 2030. that is 184 by the end of the century. public land and schools are worse over time without action. we have come up either in draft form neighborhood scale map that identify the flooding and then different assets that might be affected. public safety, wastewater, open space. unsurprisingly the port

be a suspend use. we know there are emergency situations and we expect to see the commander-in-chief does not have an emergency situation. this is a situation where there should be an authorization of the use of force if we are to remain. i don't believe we should remain. that we've had our disagreements with the president on the oust of force and congress passed a war powers act and the president didn't like it and we passed it general way and we believe that the should respect the will of congress under powers of article one to declare war and authorize our military presence. now, section 5-c gives the power to congress to pass a joint resolution to remove our troops where there has been no authorization. what is being done today. the resolution before us is a vehicle that we determined to be the appropriate way to remove our troops to an unauthorized war. and so therefore, it's an appropriate action by the congress and probably the only action we can take in order to end the war in yemen with u.s. p

in the us and canada. after eight months on the run, saddam hussein has been tracked down and captured by american forces. saddam hussein is finished because he killed our people, our women, our children. the signatures took only a few minutes, but they brought a formal end to 3.5 years of conflict, conflict that has claimed more than 200,000 lives. before an audience of world leaders, the presidents of bosnia, serbia and croatia put their names to the peace agreement. the romanian border was sealed and silent today. romania has cut itself off from the outside world in order to prevent the details of the presumed massacre in timisoara from leaking out. from sex at the white house to a trial for his political life, the lewinsky affair tonight guaranteed bill clinton his place in history as only the second president ever to be impeached. you're watching the briefing. our headlines: delays and diversions — gatwick airport warns passengers to expect more disruption because drones were flown over the airfield

>> us. >> united states. so we have to do our part here to recognize the problems of where we've been in order to fix our policies and build that better path forward and others will recognize that, and to begin to see the opportunity for us to rebuild many of those relationships and the trust that's been broken. >> okay. liam. >> hi, congress woman. >> hi. and how would you protect interference in our elections and cyber-- >> that's a great question. i'm working on legislation that will be reintroduced in the new congress because i think it's important for us to look at the many dinner ways foreign countries try to influence our elections and to influence our policies. the one that's gotten the most attention has been, you know, russia's actions on-line and on facebook and so on and so forth. but what's also coming to light there have been other countries who seek to influence, infiltrate or hack into our systems using the internet. on that-- i'll address that front first. the vulnerabilities in our election
