queens, new york, today. this is "after the bell." we have a lot of breaking news to cover. most of it, a lot is coming from here. a shocking reversal, amazon officially pulling out of it is 3 billion-dollar plan to build its second headquarters and do it right here in long island city. it started with a fierce fight. there were 238 locations, all vying to become the home for amazon's hq2. after months of deliberations the e-commerce giant made its decision, it would split the $5 billion second location into two projects. one of them was to be here in long island city. it's a plan that was set to bring in, at least 25,000 jobs to this area, but then, came the opposition. the local and state officials who sounded the alarm slamming new york lawmakers for providing subsidies to such a big company. now that big apple portion of the second hq, as of today, it is officially dead. amazon saying in a statement, i'm quoting from it now, a number of state and local politicians made it clear they oppose our presence and will not work with us to build the type of relationships that are required t

getting the u.s. attorney of the southern district of new york to unrecuse himself from that cohen investigation. so, mark mazetti is one of the reporters over at the "time's" who broke this story opened. let's start at the beginning. how did this conversation play out between the acting ag and the president of the united states? >> reporter: right. so not long after whitaker was installed as the acting attorney general, trump calls him and asks whether a new person could be put in charge of the michael cohen investigation that's being taking place up in new york. he asks whether the u.s. attorney who had to recuse himself out of a conflict of interest could be put in charge. trump thought that this individual, jeffrey berman, might actually be more of an ally and clearly it indicates that the president saw there investigation up in new york as being problematic and potentially kind of spiraling out of control. so that was the request he put in to matt whitaker. >> and whitaker ultimately said what? whit kwer was unable to do anything about it. it appears he didn't take too many st

plans to build a headquarters in new york. good morning, asia. hello, world. welcome to this friday edition of asia business report. i'm rico hizon. we start off with washington, dc and the white house says president trump will sign the government funding bill, meaning a second shutdown has been avoided, but he will also declare a national emergency to get money for the wall he wants to build along the mexican border. a market strategist has said it is a relief for investors. the market is seeing this ina for investors. the market is seeing this in a very positive manner, avoiding the government shutdown, which we know is estimated at taking about .2% off the gdp as we head through these few weeks, so that is seen as through these few weeks, so that is seen as a through these few weeks, so that is seen as a positive, the fact that he may announce a national emergency, i think on that hand it does create a little of this political noise that we might anticipate, but in terms of whether it comes truth remains to be seen, given the legal hurdle that is expected. right now the markets s

what "the new york times" is reporting. that he called then-acting attorney general matthew whitaker, the man he hand picked for the job, by the way. the man whose main qualifications seemed to be his criticism of the mueller investigation. he called whitaker late last year to ask whether a trump supporter could take charge of the michael cohen investigation in the southern district of new york. the president denies it. >> did you ask acting attorney general matthew whitaker to change the leadership of the investigation into your former personal attorney, michael cohen? >> no, not at all. >> took him a minute to answer, didn't it? so let's face it. it's no coincidence that the president reportedly wanted to try to put jeffrey berman in charge of the southern district of new york, of the investigation of hush money payments during the campaign. berman, the u.s. attorney for the southern district, had recused himself, which was the right thing to do. why? because berman contributed to trump's campaign. he served on the transition team. and he is a former partner of rudy giulia

in new york city after local politicians, unions and grassroots activists opposed the deal. amazon had announced the project in november after new york governor andrew cuomo and new york mayor bill deblasio offered nearly $3 billion in tax subsidies to build the project which could have created 25,000 jobs as part of the deal, new york even offered to build a helipad for amazon ceo jeff bezos, who is the richest man in the world. one of the leading opponents was democratic congresswoman alexandria ocasio-cortez who represents queens, new york, where amazon was planning to build.

students going to the city university of new york so that they could attend college and get the resources needed to stay in college and to graduate. that transformed the city university of new york, the various colleges, including her alma mater brooklyn college from being all white to resembling more of the diversity of new york city. a fantastic accomplishment. >> did she grow up in brooklyn? >> she spent seven formative years on the island of barbados. and, barbados was transformative to her even though she was a young girl. she was raised mainly by her aunt and her grandmother, two stern but very loving and capable women. she also was in barbados at a moment where the struggle for independence begins. the struggle for labor rights begins. one of her uncles wrote for the black newspaper. and i am absolutely convinced that she had her racial and gender consciousness raised those years in barbados. host: put in perspective the significance of her election, she took office 50 years ago in 1969. elected in 1968. the civil rights movement was at its peak. the voting rights act signed into l
