This will lead to some toast to be nice to constrict taishan we had invited friends to remove the problematic products there in legislation supported by the hospitalised as a. Safety of those in traceys protection by its very nature a breach of the obligation of good the threat to the good friday agreement has come from may be used to design say shes a problematic cognitions have not. And those polls will remain in that bill the conservative government is willing to go back on its worth to break an International Agreement signed in good faith we stand by our commitments thank you. Also coming up there are 2 more u. S. President ial debates scheduled before the november election the commission in charge of those debates has announced changes hoping to prevent a repeat of what the world witnessed in disbelief this week well as president x. Now to be honest its a very important to how i see it up now so i doubt it the answer the question has no ukraine no sir with a 1000000000 dollars if you that raise it out you know one year later not run through take out doing it youre going to not a true gentleman. But to our viewers watching on p. B. S. In the United States and to all of you around the world welcome but we begin the day with the question who trusts the British Government the answer not the European Union and that proof well its now in writing today the European Commission initiated legal action against the u. K. For violating the brics that Withdrawal Agreement now since 2016 there have been countless hours late night meetings long summits dedicated to negotiating an acceptable exit of the u. K. From the European Union a broad sit divorce that both sides can live with and that is what was reached in what is known as the Withdrawal Agreement and although his government negotiated it u. K. Prime minister Boris Johnson now insists that the u. K. Have the right to change that agreement in the future without consulting the European Union johnson says this is about preserving u. K. Sovereignty europe says britain is a country reneging on an agreement and violating International Law in the process. This draft bill is a by its very nature a breach of the obligation of good faith laid down in the Withdrawal Agreement moreover if adopted as it is it will be in full contradiction to the protocol of Ireland Northern ireland. The deadline lapsed yesterday the problematic provisions have not been removed therefore this morning the commission has decided to send a letter of formal notice to the u. K. Government this is the 1st step in an infringement procedure. Ursula from the lion there is talking about the 1st step joining me here at the big table to talk about that is briggs of analysts a commentator john worth a familiar face to our viewers good to see you again john so you what u. K. Lawmakers theyre not arguing with the European Union here they agree that what they are doing violates a droll agreement what they are doing breaks International Law it could use what theyre saying basically the british the line of the British Government is this is essentially a worst Case Scenario that britain would potentially break International Law but brussels doesnt trust that law and thats why its become Legal Proceedings today the very important point is only begun this is basically the European Commission sending a letter to london saying tell us what you really are trying to do here and before britain has to answer that the house of lords or the 2nd chamber of polman has to look at this little and it to me might just still save the day and prevent it actually coming to a case in court later in a world where the chances of the house of lords. Have a 5050 Something Like that and there is certainly much more opposition to this by behavior joness government in the house of lords than in the house of commons so particularly from also some form of conservative party need is like Michael Howard who sits in the house you know viewers watching this who maybe not follow this all the time but will look at this story and say the current u. K. Government go she did and agreed to the bridge that was rolled agreement if it yet the Prime MinisterBoris Johnson nail maintains that the agreement could be a threat to the u. K. How was that possible they said yes to it this is essentially because the conservatives have never faced the inherent problem with brits its to do with Northern Ireland essentially the deal that Boris Johnson negotiated and agreed with brussels essentially imposes some kind of controls controls on goods that would be exported from the island to the rest of the u. K. That was olds weve got to reason they had previous. Negotiated she said im never going to have any sort of border between Northern Island and the rest now Boris Johnson said hang on a minute ive not sure i want that now because that is actually potentially causing some division between Northern Ireland and the rest hes never faced that inherent problem that is within breaks it is essentially the Northern Island question and since he himself he cant make up his own mind he doesnt have his own policy and i think thats what best explains the seeming contradiction with the now has a month to respond to this notice that was sent today from brussels do you think that the response is going to be satisfactory to the europeans and the and is there a court or a judge who would then be able to solve this since the Crucial Point is is this an all of a so called internal market lisa fencer piece of legislation has caused all these problems in brussels what are the chances that lots that current draft will become a lol by the end of. Think is probably about 5050. 00 that that will be the case that there is certainly major opposition in the house of lords if it does 2 things then potentially happen a case comes before the European Court of justice but that could take some moments to happen even if they sped up the procedure because nobody that can take a couple of years before courts a court case gets to the European Court of justice and much more important what well see at the end of october is processes ok u. K. We dont trust you were told now we dont even stop talking to try to find a bricks it deal by the end of the year on the future trade negotiations and so both sides start planning for the worst a socalled no deal breaks it by the end of this year because of course thats the crucial thing the clock is really taking its less than 100 days until this cliff edge at the end of 2020 and we dont know still is that going to be a deal or no deal at the end of december which is a list of pick up on what exactly what you just said there which is take a listen to what the European Parliament president said today about brakes of negotiations moving forward to. An agreement and he said he was looking of course will be at the negotiating table until the bitter end. And we hope that people realize that this is a historic moment. And they realize the consequences if at the end of the year theres no possibility of a deal. To have an agreement they have to also respect previous agreements otherwise we cant make any progress i mean you know he didnt fret and he shouldnt us we know and now what hes saying is its almost like this this minor minor minor problem could explode and destroy the entire breaks it project. Yes. Although you must also see the point that there are only bond options available for the u. K. From now its either a break city with a minimal trade deal which will cause quite some consider. Problems at the borders or its no deal which could be potentially a catastrophe if there are there are problems with thousands of trucks queuing at the ports of dover for example but i think whats what society the policy president said there is complete is correct brussels will steadily determinately keep trying to solve these problems until it can try no more all but likewise what weve seen today is this distrust which has developed into a question of how do you continue negotiating with the people sitting across the table from you you think would double cross you this is difficult in what has been done both sides is to take the negotiations down a level down to the level of bania the chief negotiator on the e. U. Side and frost his u. K. Counterpart try to de politicize those talks about the substandard of issues that theyre trying to get to grips with things like fisheries policy or state aid so how much governments can subsidize Failing Industries and so therefore theyve tried it and the e. U. Has tried this all along is to keep those type of those technical talks going while at the same time the high level politics has become increasingly sour but maybe were reaching the end of that i think what is going to boil down to is some high level political agreement that would be needed some point of its going to be a very rocky end of october beginning of november if we havent got an agreement by then then both sides are going to have to plan for the worse but we not quite at that stage yet what happens to the u. K. s reputation globally if it breaks International Wall as it currently is planning to do right now this is very very important because britain said ok we might have a souring relationship with the European Union but we want to sign trade deals potentially with the United States although bear in mind that the political situation at us difficult but also. With countries like canada or australia or new zealand and if you were those countries just now would you even want to negotiate a trade deal with the u. K. Knowing that they dissension even a dome a deal that they had with their closest neighbor the government of with boards johnson in charge would probably be the one that would be suspicious to most basic exactly and so the British Government in its International Reputation has lost an enormous amount of trust its also in its Foreign Policy towards iran for example and if iran is breaking its commitments under Nuclear Deals britain is britain theyre in a position to say hang on a minute youre not respecting what you signed up to another regimes can point back and you can go so well you didnt suburbans International Credibility has taken huge hits here not only in trade well you know it is october 1st weve got 3 months until the end of the year we will see what happens a what i think is going to have to be a bumpy ride until then john where theres always we appreciate your analysis excellent thank you. But today is october 1st the 4th and final quarter of 2020 a year that have seen unprecedented self induced shocks to the Global Economy in march when countries began throttling back their economies in order to slow the corona Virus Outbreak there was broad hope that both the shutdown and the recovery from that shutdown would be brief a very recovery but the pandemic the economy and the alphabet they have proven very unpredictable in the United States initial jobless claims remain at levels higher than the records reached during the Great Recession of 2008 this week disney announced plans to cut 28000 jobs a direct result of consumers staying home and the airlines perhaps more than any other sector are feeling the pandemic pain tens of thousands of Airline Workers in the u. S. Are said to become unemployed this month airlines accepting federal bailout money are required to keep all workers on the payrolls that federal assistance ran out yesterday and the airlines say they have no choice but to cut costs radically to keep people in this state of worry and uncertainty is just cruel theres 100000 workers who are facing being out of work as of thursday and those are on various statuses but 100000 people immediately facing being out of work and many of them losing their health care as well theres so many emotions that are whole thing there my way and then through the veins of you know 8000 other American Airlines flight attendants who are also on the last day of the Payroll Support Program stabilizer jobs maintain our health care and we dont know whats going to happen next and we dont know whats going to happen next my colleague Monica Johnson business joins me now here at the big table what we are glad she said monika that we dont work in the aviation sector solution right now i mean the you. As airlines theyre in a crisis but they are not alone this week the International Air transport association revised its for your forecasts 2020. Was bit bad before before now were expecting what is it your travel to fall 66 percent from 2090 levels and im not surprised when i see for example that in august we just talk about the month of august Traffic Volume dropped 75 percent thats just august because as you know you know volume isnt always the same when you book a ticket in march for 1 destination its sort of fairly affordable when you book it for july august which ought to be called a day month you can pay 34. 00 times the same for the same destination well all of that didnt quite work out this year because people didnt travel as much not because they didnt want to but because they couldnt you have travel restrictions you have trouble warnings you have mandatory quarantine so a lot of people really thinking all right i have 2 weeks to go on holiday but do i have an extra 2 weeks notice during the work because of the quarantine is rather that is very very tricky and of course the fear will i get infected when i go on board of a plane now everybody says Aviation Industry certainly says that a plane is probably the safest place once its up in the air because of the air conditioning. And the villagers and everything they have but what about before you take off and land and will the person sitting next to you wear the mask properly so many many issues and just in order to to make things work i added did not just raise the percentage of air Traffic Volume that dropped this year they also say that quite possibly we wont return to pretend to make levels before 2024 were talking about around 4 years of tough times for the Aviation Industry and that affects airlines you mentioned. Layoffs here i mean what do you do when you do. And earn money while you start cutting costs usually it means layoffs you know people are expensive we have seen since the beginning of this pandemic that the majority of jobs being cut are not high paid theyre not high skilled jobs so were not seeing this recovery were seeing a recovery that looks more like a kid which is an interesting its an interesting i looked it up the late i mean i still part of that debate who had the the moderate poor man will have to deal with it will have to deal with the oh well lets lets call it a debate lets just thats that yeah. But yeah he sort of mentioned that and i sort of ok im familiar with the v. With the you with the l. Which obviously isnt good so whats k. And k. Shaped recovery but basically all the wealthy people all the really highly qualified professionals theyre doing ok the rest well forget about it is not a very nice image but when you look at the reality when you look at the world around you its not that far off as you mentioned the u. S. There you already see that sort of the white population the recovery the job recovery hof way they are back to normal amongst minorities its not so whatever problems you had before the pandemic its. Worse now everything is. Absolutely and not only in the u. S. You have it pretty much everywhere in the western world that Industries LikeTechnology RetailSoftware Companies theyre doing really well they even hiring again but its the low wage ones and you find them mostly in hospitality sector in tourism of course entertainment well a lot of freelancers work they dont benefit from those stimulus packages they dont even exist for most of the the politicians and they cant often plame claim benefits so. I personally still would like to root for the you shape. Recovery can we agree on that if you say itll itll take about 2 years to get out of recession because what we want to do that i think about if youre on something weve been saying is going to take longer even with the Airline Industries its going to take longer than just a year or 2 that weve been told so far germany has to fairly well when it comes to the labor situation they were voided mass layoffs with these short Work Programs but you know that costs a lot of money to the taxpayers the model works well for short term well as as is in the name already. But how does this look now with this pandemic taking us welding to 2021 well the good news is the German Government already decided to extend that program until the 31st of december 2021 so if Companies Feel that they dont want to miss this stuff because they need to them once business is picking up again but they cant afford to keep them without the order books being as full as they they should pray that the program is extended until the end of next year which of course costs a lot of money and germany already spent a lot of money one trillion euros available for emergency loans guarantees direct aid thats a 3rd of g. D. P. Now germany started on a very good level of more some high level and even if it has to take on debt which it has to its also doing it under favorable conditions unlike many other countries and obviously the pandemic is a pandemic because its global so everybody has the same problem and if governments want to keep a well stable economy somehow in their in their countries and and also stability when it comes to to social issues if they have to 2 possibilities they can continue to pump billions of years into the economy which means taking out today it eventually having to pay high interest which could be a problem for countries like the u. S. Even. Or they say alright lets just open up a business pretend to the virus doesnt exist but like sweden perhaps but even they have a drop in economic output of 9 percent and a high death rate i dont think i would prefer i really see molecules of business monica excellent analysis thank you. Well if you watched the u. S. President ial debate on tuesday between donald trump and joe biden i do not need to tell you that no one no one wants a repeat the orgy of interruptions and insults was so weak stream historians are already calling it the worst president ial debate in u. S. History today the Editorial Board of the New York Times put it in one sentence president trumps performance on the debate stage was a National Disgrace some 12 hours after the debate had concluded the commission on president ial debates announced plans to adjust the format for the remaining debates what is still being considered should the moderator be able to turn off a candidates microphone would that have saved tuesdays debate debacle from taking american democracy to a new low well as president expects now to be honest its a very important to how i see it out now so i know that the answer the question has no and im proud of him but why was i out of my head on that millionaire and he wasnt game right sensibilities of attack is a totally the president friendly president trying to get warnings that theres already been a total already discredited ukraine sir with a 1000000000. 00 if you that is if you know when youre not run through pay youre doing it youre going to not only true gentleman i hate to raise my voice but i do you say to me i why should i be different than the 2 of you if we allowed both people to speak with fewer interruptions im appealing to you sir to do that and him too well frankly youve been doing more interrupting that sort of that but he does plenty well less than 30 less isnt plenty now less than you have. Swayed or she joins me from our Washington Bureau my i mean it will wear you out just watching these clips over and over again as we have to do here with our job what do we know tonight about these planned changes in the next 2 president ial debates. Well brant i actually have a little bit of news for years so moments ago i was on a call with the Trump Campaign where they allege that they were themselves out of call with the Biden Campaign earlier today and the Biden Campaign put forward the 4 following stipulations and theyll look at my notes to make sure i get this right they want opening and closing statements which was not a part of the 1st debate they want direct questions from the moderator to both of the candidates the same question to both they want to limit open discussion to just 11 minutes which has far less than was present at the 1st debate and then the issue of the mute button came out now i should note that at the beginning of this call the Trump Campaign officials went out of their way to go down the list of people who were members of who are members of the commission on president ial debates and talk about all of the money that these people have donated to democratic president ial and senatorial candidates in the past things that theyve said about the Trump Campaign and about trump that could be perceived as negative one of them and im quoting now one of them described people on the commission as quote permanent swamp monsters so you can see where theyre coming from now i reached out to the Biden Campaign and to the Commission Neither of them have responded to me yet to confirm that these are the possible new for all so good so the good bit is thats brand new news right there that youre telling us we have to remind our viewers that the roots of these debates they are agreed upon by both candidates so what we saw on tuesday there for those rules dont trump himself had said yes to correct that as the moderator himself pointed out yes he had agreed to that in his campaign had agreed to that beforehand what about the moderator my you would have made Chris Wallaces job easier would a different moderator maybe have handled the situation better. Well Chris Wallace himself has spoken to the New York Times and said that well yes he does feel like he missed an opportunity but that he didnt anticipate that trump would plow the rules so enthusiastically which if you think about it thats the president s style thats his brand thats what his supporters really like about him is that you cant put him in a box he will break out of whatever box you try to put him and in terms of the mute button there is some precedent for this so back in the 1980 s. In a california Gubernatorial Debate you may remember a little person named Ronald Reagan he was in a debate and the moderator tried to mute his mike what ended up happening is that reagan started shouting over the mike and it didnt end well now you and i have watched a lot of trump content in our times and im sure many of our viewers have as well the man knows how to shout if you mute his mike its likely that that will happen also this would play very much into his narrative of the media silencing him you literally have a member of the media pressing pause on his mike and not letting him speak it would just bolster his support among his supporters my a bit about 20 seconds weve got a debate next week the Vice President ial debate. Would you say its safe to say that it will probably be somewhat more restrained uncivil. Everyone certainly hoping so the Biden Campaign has said that biden will be there no matter what the Trump Campaign is pushing very hard to make sure that there are no changes as part of this call you know we will see what happens there but excellent reporting there maya sweeter the story for us with the latest there on whos playing the changes to the u. S. President ial debates michael thank you. Well the day is almost done the conversation it continues online youll find us on twitter either at u. W. News or you can follow me at brant goff t. V.
