Climatefocused policy. Boris johnson and the new government. The key is the vote that comes withgoing to have to work after the after that. Not the conservatives, but the that is a vote for mps to agree National Democratic party or the green party or some combination of that, maybe even the block. To the accelerated timetable the Prime Minister and his the withdrawal he also had this pipeline that he is in the middle of. Agreement bill to go through in the houses of parliament. Climate on one side they wanted to reach all its stages in the house of commons and the pipeline on the other side of the government purchased by thursday, if not by the end hes got to figure out whether of the week. That is moving ahead. This is the vote that is proving to be more controversial. There are some mps who think these minority governments are this is too little time to debate and pass a piece of only single tenuous because you can always are always a little tenuous because you can legislation as big as the Withdrawal Agreement bill. We understand the votes are very tight. Always lose confidence at any time. To calll they had by no means certain the government would win the vote. David as i understand it, prime elections due to lack of ability to put a coalition together. In this case you have a minority government. Minister johnson said if he does not get his way, he has a plan if he loses confidence along the b, which is a general election. Way, there could be another election. Can he bring that about . Typically two to four years, but said today that if he hes going to have to figure out how to win that next time and if loses that vote on the Program Motion, the Program Motion they he does, its going to have to are to ensure the withdrawal be working with these other parties. The most likely party as i s law before the understand it is somewhat to the left of him. You know, it just depends on 31st of october, which is the current brexit deadline. If he loses that boat and then the eu, also an extension to the issues. I think hes going to have to do brexit into january of next year a real balancing act here. On leftleaning issues, is going , he will scrap the Withdrawal Agreement bill, no longer try to to work on issue coalition. Get that through parliament, and instead he will try to go for a general election. On rightleaning issues, hes going to work with the what we would see for the next conservatives. Hes going to have to do this few days this week is various clever balancing act. Ways the government would try its different than a coalition government. And call a general election. We know Boris Johnson has tried to do that twice before only this is coalition by issue. Ish law or each budget, he last month and he was frustrated on both accounts with mps not going to support that. You know him well, you know allowing him to call an early general election. The situation terribly well. He has to get around something do you think you learned a lot from this experience . Called the fixed Parliament Bill and there are various ways in a lot of success in the policy which he may be able to do that. If he calls a general election, side, a lot of stumbles it is by no means certain mps otherwise. The you think hes going to be a would allow him to have one. Stronger leader Going Forward . If he does have one, we understand it would happen before christmas. David thank you so much for reporting from london. Now we go to Josh Wingrove in i think hes better and stronger as he is going on, we all get tested in various ways. We skin our knees at various ottawa. Points, which i think he has. I think he will be stronger and we had the election we talked about. Better just because of how much he learned in his government. Justin trudeau will return to i think that is good news for him. Office, but not quite as strong as he was before. I think that the conservatives are going to have to decide josh he will have to govern whether they are going to stick with Andrew Scheer or whether they are going to select someone with the support of the left leading new democratic party. Else to go against justin nonetheless, a win for trudeau, trudeau. Who lost the popular vote. It was an outcome that would look familiar to donald trump. Trudeau lost the vote but he one the former u. S. Ambassador to canada. More evenly. Coming up, nearly every day, the he won more seats in the u. S. China trade negotiations. Conservative party. For now, Justin Trudeau was we go to the source to talk with still the status quo. The man who runs the second he will have to name a cabinet, and then things would get largest container for in the United States to find out what tricky. Going on with actual shipment of he will have to start actual goods. Negotiations with other parties. What will they want from him in thats coming up next on balance order to support him on a vote of power on Bloomberg Television by vote basis . And on radio. Parliamentary committees . They could look into scandals that have dropped his popularity. It will be a messier ride for Justin Trudeau, even though he is still in power. David what does he want to get done . Josh some of it is about keeping stuff that they have already done. Had he lost, the National Carbon price probably wouldve been done. He and the democrats will keep that in place. National pharmaceutical funding would be high in the list. The pipeline is the big flashpoint. This is the one trudeau bought last year and is pledging to expand. The democrats are opposed to this, but in the past it has been flexible on whether they would go to the wall. It. That will be one to watch. Can trudeau expand the trans mountain pipeline the government now owns if he is needing to lie on this leftwing antipipeline party to stay in power. David that is Josh Wingrove reporting from ottawa. Now we go to washington and kevin cirilli. Kevin, not a day goes by we do not have somebody on capitol hill talking about the impeachment think very. How much is this getting under the president s skin . Cabinet it seemed like he was pretty irritated. Kevin President Trump using a racially charged term, lynching, to compare the impeachment process to how he feels he is being targeted by democrats. You mentioned bill taylor is the top ambassador to ukraine for the United States. Arriving earlier on capitol hill to testify before several house panels investigating on the impeachment inquiry. I am told he is seen as a key witness in many of these dealings. Rudy giuliani conversations that pertain to u. S. , ukraine policy. I can also tell you again with the racially charged week the president set out earlier, receiving intense pushback from members of the congressional black caucus. , but certainly from them while we are papering the also republicans coming out and telling the president you need deal, we decided probably in to be careful when you use words like that. Is the wall of republican chile when we have a summit in starting to erode at all on the chile, wherever that may be. Impeachment question . Kevin not in terms of whether he should be removed from office but we will be able to we think sign a completed document with china then we start working on or voted for impeachment, but youre absolutely correct there phase two. Has been a change in the last things in phase two are easier week or so, ever since the doral than phase one. That was trump talking incident where the president yesterday at his Cabinet Meeting signaled he wanted to have it at about trade negotiations with china. Directorthe executive well, whereyria as of the board of long beach in southern california. Prominent republicans have the second largest container shippings in the united in spoken out publicly against america. President words welcome back to bloomberg. Pretty happy with us. Tell us where you are. And you were here last year, in terms of the amount of shipments coming in and out, where are and president words they today . Last year, we had a great year, a record year. Now, for 2019, i think we can and actions. No one is saying he should be removed from office. An interesting line. David interesting is exactly certainly say that the trade war the right word. Thanks so much to kevin cirilli. He is our chief washington correspondent reporting from washington. Lets check in on the markets has had an impact, specifically with abigail doolittle. Is there any move in the markets because what we talked about . On long beach. Reduction there is a not a lot of movement . Abigail says abigial major in regard to the china imports u. S. Markets flat, at least for and on the export side, the reduction now compared to six the dow and the nasdaq. The nasdaq is the one major that is lower. 2018, thats a the other two are slightly higher. Macro headlines not weighing into much because we are in reduction of her own 41 . , earningseason obviously, the impact has hit. And that is china you are talking about now. Reports good and bad to take a look at. One stock is facebook is sharply both imports and exports. Lower on the day, this on the news that the antitrust probe by are you making that up with the state attorney general has been expanded by dozens and imports and exports from other generals,attorney countries . Maybe mexico . You seeing it made up anywhere . This before Mark Zuckerberg goes to congress or before the House Finance panel tomorrow. There is some movement in that is about libra and housing. Southeast asia. In terms of what that difference it could also be a doorway to talk about antitrust issues. Is, 19 is the number. Partard delivered we gained about 14 in other areas, so while there has been two limited to libra. Issues, weseen trade movement in other regions and other parts, its not really equivalent to what the market has been in china. If you have a sense of how saw with hasbro and ups. Abigial relative to hasbro, much of that is because of the tariffs imposed already, as positions just new those sales having the weakest day in 20 years, some of their supply related to the threat of tariffs. Tariffs were delayed to december 15, but the threat of tariffs and uncertainty and People Holding back because they are not sure where its going . I think its both. Clearly it has been indecision has messed up their supply and uncertainty. Chain. As for other earnings bloopers, as you what you see now giant having its approach the third and fourth biggest move ever, going all the quarter of the 2019 calendar year, we are now seeing actually the impact, and by that i mean way back to 1991, not just a good quarter but also around an again, when you look at the terms of the impact in southern california, the complex the alzheimers drug that could be pretty promising. David just bring one on you, we impact has been, again, going just got a headline on boeing. Once stable, it is down to forward, its going to be the impact on the americans negative. The news is not good. Abigial the consumer because consumption is what drives our gdp and if thats impacted, of course we stop not reacting. Are going to see an impact on you can see this is some extent priced in. The economy. They reported this week, i think last, i will say this. Today, when we talk about the interesting to see if there numbers are impacted at all by andnews around that 737 max economy, i dont think anybody who addresses what the economy will look like this year, next some of the more recent year, or the following year, in the same sentence, does it in revelations that the management could have done something the case of the impact of potential trade. Differently. David boeing is up almost 2 . The impact of what we are going with in terms of china. Fullblown relations to abigial could be priced in. David now we will turn to mark china. To you see patterns when crumpton for bloomberg first word news. Mark the impeachment probe into people anticipate tariffs . Do they actually ship more . President trump continues today with testimony from the top u. S. Diplomat to ukraine. Acting u. S. Ambassador william we have more tariff the right now scheduled. Crazy toed it was sure. I can definitely say that the withhold military aid in a bid last quarter of 2018, we saw to get dirt on the president s political rivals. Taylor is a key witness because expedited cargo coming to the port of long beach. Of his text message to collect expressing concerns about back channel ukraine negotiation led we had a record year because of the economy. By the president s personal lawyer, rudy giuliani. President trump compare the it anticipated the january 1, impeachment to a lynching. 2019 application of tariffs. A warning from british Prime MinisterBoris Johnson if i suspect we are going to see something similar as the parliament defeatss brexit implementation of the fullblown proposal and votes for a tariffs, the total of chinese delight, he will scrap the deal and call for an election. He will find out today if he has related imports. Any chance of getting his deal what percentage of your approved and whether it can imports and exports are from happen before october 31. A decision on the future of asia, as opposed to other parts of the world . Basically, its basically syria is coming down to a meeting between Vladimir Putin and turkish president erdogan ground zero when it comes to congress with china. The two begin talks in russia about a year ago i would say 70 today as the clock runs down on of our imports are specifically turkeys 120 hour ceasefire for from china. Kurdish fighters to leave today, its figures around 68. Northeastern syria. You seeing assad support russia backs percentilewise, the impact there. President assads forces in a year ago, a good amount of our seeking to gain control of the area. Exports up to almost 40 went to Vladimir Putin may force erdogan china. Today, that number is around to communicate directly with 26 . Damascus to solve the crisis. Tellan see how the numbers latin americas oasis has been chile,by the worst in the impact most effectively. And on imports and exports, do you see it in certain climates . Many died in a wave of arson and riots. Is it agriculture, because we had a lot of farmers hurting in the midwest. Now, thousands are protesting when you look at the import economic inequality, pensions, and export dynamic, its fair to say that on the exports side, health, and education. The impact has been more the president s attempt to crackdown on violence have made impacted their in terms of more it worse. Significant. Global news 24 hours a day, on again, how reduction of imports air and tictoc on twitter, is 41 . Powered by more than 2700 journalists and analysts in over 120 countries. In terms of california and the crumpton. Nation, grain and so forth, very bloomberg. Important factors in our attempt david . David coming up, ups reported to balance trade over the many years.

We will bring you any more headlines as they come out. This is balance of power on Bloomberg Television and radio. From the couldnt be prouders david this is balance of power on Bloomberg Television and radio. I am david westin. Ups reported thirdquarter earnings, narrowly missing on revenue but showing strong Profit Growth and increased efficiencies and reduced cost. We welcome david abney, chairman and ceo of ups. As i say, strong earnings. What stood out for you . David a. the domestic operations, for sure. We reduced unit costs yearoveryear by 2. 5 . Every package that went through the network, 2. 5 less cost, which gave us positive operating leverage as cost reduced more than the gain in revenue. We were happy with those results, which sets us up for good peach season this year. David how did you do it . How did you reduce cost 2. 5 . That is not easy to do. David a. first, it would be our strategy. We focused on ecommerce. We have embraced it. We leaned in because we knew that is where the world was going. Then we made investments in automating our facilities, optimizing our dispatch, and just a lot of technology. Then it takes good, solid execution, which i am proud of our team for doing that. At the same time, we grew the business, we operated at less cost, which caused us to improve operating profits in the domestic by over 25 . David we are talking with david abney, chairman and ceo of ups. To the wait did we just winners. We are always looking at the consumer. Are you seeing a softening of everyone uses their phone differently. Shipments that might indicate thats why Xfinity Mobile lets you design the consumer is getting nervous . David a. the u. S. Consumers your own data. Now you can share it between lines. Strong. Surprisingly so compared to some mix with unlimited, and switch it up at anytime of what you hear. We have gotten very good about so you only pay for what you need. That. Its a different kind of Wireless Network we are not seeing weakness at designed to save you money. All. We would love to see industrial save up to 400 a year on your wireless bill. Production increased, but from plus get 250 back when you buy an eligible phone. The consumer side, a strong showing. Talk about international, you emphasize domestic. Talk about international. Yearsa. i did spend four as the president of international. I love that experience. Is tariffs andng the disputes going between the u. S. And china. I will tell you, what we had not even though china to make up for the difference, but to partially offset. Betweeneeing some hope the chinese and u. S. Governments and we are hoping to see them resolved. And then europe is brexit, and the concerns of brexit, and also lisa im lisa abramowicz. Welcome to bloomberg money undercover, a show that provides valuable insights into the industrial sector is a alternative investments. Little weak in europe. We take you inside the world of that is where we sit. Private debt, equity, and real david give us a sense of the estate. Lets get straight to the burning issues in private sensitivity of ups and your businesses to the china trade talk . Markets, everyone seems to want to go private these days. What is the over and under . Lets take a look at what makes a retail startup at the time of david a. china is an important part of our asian business. Amazonian pressures. It would not be a big part of one of the hottest areas has our overall business. Been direct l influential if trade resumes in china. Then we will be able to fully utilize our aircraft and it will make a difference. It is not like it is the biggest area of the world for us. David you made a lot of progress on cost, and part through automation and technology. At the same time, you dialing back on capital investment. Does that put it at risk, some of the increased efficiencies Going Forward . David a. it is a great question. The answer is absolutely not. The reason why is what we reduced due to the fact we were being more efficient and getting more benefit out of the capital that we are utilizing. With each of these automation projects, we are bringing the cost down so we brought down the because we were doing it with a higher efficiency and spending money and getting more. David how far are you along the process . David a. from the automation standpoint . David yes. David a. i will give the u. S. As an example, we are probably getting about 70 of our packages through our automated systems. Within the next year and a half, we will be very close to 100 of the targeted volume. We are progressing rapidly. Automation system, a little better. That is the exciting part. David you also made news in the c suite because your chief operating officer stepped away. Every Successful Company has a Succession Plan. Was he part of your Succession Plan . David a. jim has done an excellent job. Job. It is sort of a natural progression that a lot of us spend our entire working career at the one company and jim has done that. He has accomplished a lot. I have the ceo for five years. Our plan started right after i started. It was a nonstop thing. We do not talk publicly about who may or may not we have a deep bench and we have a good group of management. Our Leadership Team is in good shape. I can tell you that. David i was not asking you to name names, but what i hear you saying is it does not change the Succession Plan you had in place with report . David a. in place with your board . David a. it does not. I do not want to undersell the fact that jim is done a great job. David looking forward, one is the big opportunity, what is the big challenge, over the next year . David a. the big opportunity is technology and the way we are implementing it. We are leading the way with drones, and our drone certification from the faa. We formed our own Drone Airline flight forward, where we see big gains over the next few years. David you have any update on the drones . We talk when he first got the clearance from the faa. Where are you now . David a. we have a lot of partners. The university of utah hospital will be the next place we actually operate our drones. , we announced big news. Andisourcebergens, cbs, kaiser permanente, all three of these Big Health Care companies are going to be involved in our cannot be the ceo of a Successful Company without worrying about something. I will give you multiple choice question. Overall u. S. Economy, u. S. China trade. Which one worries you more . David a. the china trade, because it is more topical. We believe there is a way to increase trade between the two countries. ,e do see some positive signs negotiations have to continue, that is one that is most on my mind at this time. David great to have you here in new york. Thanks to ups chairman and ceo david abney. Still ahead, tariffs are no fun and games for toymaker hasbro. Power onalance of Bloomberg Television and radio. David this is balance of power. We have some breaking news. Shares of lyft are rising after the wall street journal reported the company will post a profit earlier than expected. Shares of uber are also getting on the news. We could make other one of those are stock of the hour. We have a different stock of the hour, a reminder of the potential risk of the trade war and the tariffs. Toymaker hasbro is headed for its worst date in 20 years after a from sales from tariffs takes its toll. As we go to the christmas season, we have more tariffs in december, that is not good for hasbro. Abigial we do potentially have more tariffs coming, that is weighing on the shares. They have missed top and bottom lines badly by double digits in the case of adjusted earnings, missing sales by 8 . This was not a minor miss. One analyst saying the degree of the myths is shocking. As it relates to tariffs, if you recall, the 10 toy tariff goes into place potentially december. Initially it was opposed to going to place september 1. When President Trump to lay that to september 15, it put their supply chain and upheaval. Supply chain not able to order properly and affecting this companys revenue and profit picture. David as i look at this, i wonder if we are blaming too much on trade. The earnings were backward looking. I do not think a lot of hasbros imports were subject to the tariffs. Abigial that is a great question. That is a point i brought up to one of our producers, that does not quite make sense. The idea is it has put the supply chain on hold. Youre making a point that could be true. It could just be a smokescreen, it is easy to use. If they have weak results, it could be blaming it on that. It will be interesting to see whether or not those tariffs, if those tariffs are lifted, if that will give a pop. They have four main segments. The one bright spot in september is partner brands. They have been helped out by the Avengers Endgame franchise. They make toys related to movies. Perhaps frozen and star wars will help in the future. Interesting to see if that does offset tariffs. David the one thing i heard through all of that is disney. It all has to do with disney. Many thanks to abigail doolittle. Up next, a Record Number of Democratic Candidates took to the debate stage.

Mcconnell said lawmakers need to be careful about using a tool that could push the nato ally into the arms of the russians. He says he and several other republicans are introducing a resolution that calls on trump to end the drawback of u. S. Forces from the area and rethink his invitation from turkish president to visit the white house. Canada, the voters have given Justin Trudeau a second term to overcome a number of scandals and claims what he calls a clear mandate. Still, his liberal party lost to majority in parliament prolabor, new democratic party. Californians against the prospect of another deliberate blackout. The bankrupt utility pg e is considering a shut off to the more than 200,000 homes and businesses this week in the northern part of the state.

The national Highway Traffic Safety Administration says more than 36,000 people were in traffic accidents last year, down 2. 4 from 2017. It attributes this to advanced Crash Prevention Technology and the agencys efforts to encourage seatbelt use and curtail speeding and distracted driving. Global news 24 hours a day on air and tictoc on twitter. Powered by more than 2700 journalists and analysts in more than 120 countries. This is bloomberg news. And democratic voters go to the polls for the primaries, they need to choose a favorite among what is likely several candidates in many states. But a partys nomination professional politician has studied this and concluded that there is a better way. It is called approval voting and hes here now to explain what it is. Great to have you with us. Explain to us what approval voting is. It is a Voting System in which there are three or more candidates. You can vote for as many as you like. You are not restricted to voting for one. Today, we call the plurality voting. A your favorite work candidate who had no chance of winning, you could also approve of a second choice, a more viable candidate likely to win. Anyway, you can have your cake and eat it, too. You can vote for your favorite, but you can also vote for a second choice. Probably, your second choice would win, but you are expressing a preference for your first choice. Do you rank then . No, it is very simple. You simply approve or dont approve of every candidate. You simply approve or dont approve of every candidate. We actually have a slogan. One candidate, one vote. You make a judgment about each and every candidate, much simpler than trying to rank candidates. People have difficulty ranking more than four or five candidates. Why is this a better system . You do analogy, you studied this. Why is this better than what we do now . Example, take the 2000 election in which ralph nader got 3 of the vote but he really swung the election to george bush. Al gore actually won by half a but we popular votes, count votes by the Electoral College. If you were a nader supporter, you could vote for the native, but you know hes not going to win. You could cast a second approval vote for al gore and instead of losing by 97,000 votes, well, the 97,000otes would vote probably about two to one for outdoor, so he would have won by tens of thousands of votes rather than losing by 537 facilitated by the supreme court. It sounds like it would have made indifference in 2000. In whichhe situation Hillary Clinton won the popular vote and lost the Electoral College but there wasnt a strong thirdparty candidate. No, there wasnt. I think trump would probably not have been the republican nominee. He was the strongest minority candidate on the right, but governor kasich from ohio probably would have been approved by more republicans and polls show that he probably wouldve won the republican nomination against trump. They tend to find the candidate that is more acceptable when anyone else. If you think about it, its the way we reference our movies when we go out with friends. What is acceptable to the most people. You dont have to be restricted to a first choice. Politics. Fessor of this affects how many candidates you have to choose from, or are, are, but when you get down to the president ial election, what about the Electoral College . What do you think of that . We have any number of candidates who are running for president if wenow who decide eliminated altogether or substantially amended. Votes count equally everywhere. The decisive state now determined the outcome. States in to 10 particular, florida, or for example, could go either way. We think thats not fair. We think votes should count the same everywhere, wherever you vote. As you know well, Founding Fathers had a different view. Thats part of the reason why we have a senate that is not just strictly a population. But we have to balance but a majority of the people overall one. If you went to popular votes, you would have a world of people would elect a president just based on california. Thats not quite accurate. We dont have a majority of the population in california. They are going to be split anyway. Candidates with the most support overall, that would have been clinton, for example, a 2016 by almost 2 million votes. That would have been al gore in 2000 by 500,000 votes. Those candidates should be aware of. They are overall more acceptable than the candidates that did when, like trump. Is the approval Voting System, is being used anywhere in the United States . Yes, it was just adopted. They voted in the referendum to adopted for the next mayoral election. In privatewidely organizations, universities, to choose a chair, for example. Now, its just taking off and theres a lot of support in missouri for approval voting and they are going to vote on it soon. Is there support among the legislators . One of the issues, if they got elected by system and they change the system, they might not get reelected. The moderates are probably going to be held. Most of the people we seek out want a more balanced system. Not from extreme left to extreme right in different elections. Thanks very much for being with us. Nyu professor of politics. Coming up here, Justin Trudeau apparently has nine political lives does right scandals and controversy. He narrowly won his second term. To get anything done, hes going to need some help from his friends. That is next. This is balance of power on Bloomberg Television and on the radio. Met fellow canadians, it has been the greatest honor of my life to serve you for these past four years and the night, you are sending us back to work for you. That was Justin Trudeau speaking at his Victory Party at montreal last night. Victory, but a narrow victory. Lost both his parliamentary majority and the countrys popular vote. Winning 157 of the 338 districts. Here to take us through what this means for the relationship with United States, welcome back, former u. S. Ambassador coming to us today from florida. Thank you so much for joining us. My pleasure. Question, why was it so narrow, given the fact that there was a lot that Justin Trudeau said he would do . First of all, i think that we are seeing this all around the world, were seeing it in the United States and europe and the far right populism is really getting some momentum here. He was facing some really populist views. In fact, one of the candidates which fortunately was not even winning his own writing was very trump like in his language of racism and immigration and climate and all of these things. So, hes facing that in canada like the u. S. , not to the same degree. And then like when you govern, there are some bumps in the road, and he clearly had some missteps that he was held accountable to, both on a personal basis, but also during his governing. The public had to make a judgment here, but i think they did the right thing and from someone who cares about the environment and cares about womens rights and cares about what happening with our next to her neighbor to the north, i think this was a good outcome. Canada,re a student of but you really have become a student of it. Youve written a book on it, literally. Morenada becoming much polarized because the election last night indicates that. Particularly in the west. I think you are right. Not only the west, but i think you have a rise of the block party. This party has 32 seats now, triple the number of seats that they had at the bottom. Here, you have a party that is now the Third Largest party in canada and that is the block. West, asalso have out you mentioned, saskatchewan and alberta are now all conservative. When you have a minority government, you are going to have to learn to coalesce these various other parties and come together and do deals, get your budget passed. Set your priorities, pass laws. Its going to be a whole new challenge for the Prime Minister that he doesnt have a majority and that he can just put things to resume party. Lets bring this back of little more toward the United States. It is it jeopardy from the canadian side . Not the canadian side, i dont think so. Concerned as to what is happening with her u. S. Trade representative and while these discussions have been very quiet and appropriately so between the house of representatives and u. S. Trade representative, i think he has
