With the regional business. Hi Jared Kushner. Its good to have you with us here in france twenty four we begin in the United States with the Federal Reserve has lowered Interest Rates for the first time in a decade. The quarter percentage point cut is a controversial move that is unlikely to be hailed by the us President Donald Trump. Who especially the central bank to act f for more on this storye can bring in our business edito . Kate to moody good evening kate donna what does this decision mean for us customers on the ground what remember that Central Banks usually change Monetary Policy lowering. Interest rates during times of economic crisis or recession but to boost borrowing and therefore spending this move there for rap scene as a preventative rather than reactive. Not sick of the graph of the last twenty years or so at the federal funds rate was slashed during the financial crisis he remained very low throughout the entire recovery phase. And its only been grown up very gradually since the end of twenty fifteen this decision brings that key rate down at two between two and two and a quarter percent. Now the rate the central bank sense that sets them trickles down to other banks to lower rates make mortgages loans and credit card payments less expensive but they also mean smaller returns on savings this quarter percentage point there for not huge change i dont directly impact consumers immediately anyway. Why is this so controversial because from what i understand that the us economy is doing so wellll if we listen to donald trump for instance well ill and if you look at the data has to be said a lot of it suggested the economy is in very good shape the said did say the outlook is still favorable and the decision was designed to support that outlook. Now gdp expanded at a pace of two point 1 from april to june. The Unemployment Rate is just three point 7 thats the lowest in nearly fifty years. Many jobs though are low paying or part time inflation or the rate at which Consumer Prices are rising remains below the feds 2 target. And thats perhaps the most important factor in the feds decision here. The manufacturing has been slowing and its actually can acted enough that data indicate a manufacturing recession. Thats partly the result of the us china trade war those ongoing tensions have made businesses increasingly uncertain about their future and more hesitant to invest Federal Reserve chief drum pals and central bank was trying to counter out. To counter act the Downside Risks from slope Global Growth and trade tensions take a listen. Thats that is a risk managemen point and that is a bit of insurance b but we also feel lie weak Global Growth in trade tensions are having an effect on the us economy you see it now in Second Quarter you see. We can best meet you see with manufacturing so were not in any way criticizing trade policy thats really not our job. Now is the us venture Jerome Powell now keep donald trump the us president has been very vocal has any aid calling for lower Interest Rates absolutely and thats added to the controversy about this move really its unusual because american president s traditionally dont comment or weigh in on montreat policy and the Federal Reserve is an independent body. Trump though has repeatedly called for lower Interest Rates arguing that they stimulate Economic Growth hes also been very critical of the fed chairman who he himself appointed. And even threatened to fire power if you didnt cut rates although its disputed what the present actually has the authority to do so. But as i said a lot of a lot of controversy over this movie is it too far is it far enough. What we see with the analyst make of it i will have to wait and see what the us president makes of it because hes probably going to react in name them . And a tomorrow anytime. Anytimime. Thank you very much for that kid movie that. In other news ten off the democrats hoping to unseat donald t trump are set to clasan the second round of the e partis televised debates. Big name side into the former Vice President joe biden and california senator kamal harris. On tuesday lesser known candidates took aim at senator is Bernie Sanders i dont is a bit toward over their healthcare plans calling them unrealistic sickness. So i think democrats win when we run on Real Solutions not impossible promises when we run on things that are workable not fairy tale economics. I dont understand why anybody goes to all the trouble of runningg for president of the United States just to talk about what we really cant do and shouldnt fight. For the governor of california has signed a law requiring the us president ial candidates to release five years of tax returns this before they can appear on the states ballot. The move is aimed squarely at the us President Donald Trump has failed to release his tax returns in the run up to the election in twenty sixteen he suggested he would release his tax returns. Once an irs audit was completed. All were requiring is people that d despite our to be p prest its not about one personn they have to disclose their tax returns dress issues of self dealing conflicts of interest requiring that regardless of Political Party you choose to do the right thing you could choose not to do the right thing i think this lawaw is an appropriate law and im glad californias leading the nation. In transparency and appropriate financial disclosure. Earlier i spoke to eric to sign a legal analyst and former u. S. As a federal prosecutor in auaustin what this law was tryig to do take a listen. It is exactly trying to get President Trump to disclose his tax returns which has been a source of great frustration for much of the United States. Since he announced his candidacy back in two thousand fifteen at first he said he would disclose them but but for the fact that they were under audit but if that audit ever. Is finished that suppose that audit he would release them but he he never did and as a result hes the first candidate in many many years and not to voluntarily disclose these returns with all the questions swirling about about his kid around about his connections to russia. And other dealings and reporting so with the taxax authority peoe have many questions and thats why california has enacted this measure may be the first of many states now is it legal for californias governor to do thi. With that is a great question and really nobody can be quite certain how a court will look at this there are strong arguments on both sides. There is a strong argument that it could be legal but as also. The the former governor california had d did a jerry brn decided not. To go along with the legislatures desires two years ago to an activee very similar law because he felt it might go too far he didnt necessarily pronounce on the legality or constitutionality of it. But he thought it might be opening the door r to things tht werent wise but t the u. S. Constitution only has certain requirements for candidates for presidency. This isnt one of them so the opponents of the law like donald trump say that what this law must b be illegal because its requiring him to do something that the u. S. Federal constitution doesnt require him to do. The other side of the argument is that its not a requirement that would preclude him from being president itts just a transparency obliligation to disclose somethg that hes already done it that that so it doesnt preclude im always t to do is disclosee it.

The Israeli Government has approved a proposal to build over seven hundred Housing Units for palestinians as well as six thousand jewish settlement units in the west bank. The approval coincides with a visit by Jared Kushner donald trump son in law is on a regional tour promoting the trumump administrations fifty billion dollar support on the listing in salicin sergeant sports. As his cabinet gave the green light to six thousand new homes for Israeli Settlers Benjamin Netanyahu was at a west Bank Settlement south of jerusalem. Inaugurating a new problem an odd. For r you see the past thehe prt and future. By this you prove that no settlement or settler will ever be uprooted. What youre doing here is forever . In a rare staff the Israeli Government also approved permits for seven hundred palestinian homes. The new permits are all for construction in the west banks area seat seen here in yellow. The zone takes up 60 of the west bank and is fully controlled by israel under the nineteen ninety three oslo accords. Still israeli settlements including an area see are considered illegal under international law. They also complicate the Peace Process since that land would need to form part of the future palestinian state under a two state solution. Palestinian leaders in ramallah called the new permits evidence of israels quote dark coloniail mentality. This Israeli Government is trying to legitimize its in nee. At what time of building settlements units and an s. C. And then using thahat many flimy excuse or pretext that thth will enable the palestinians to print six out of it. Seven hundred units on that online. Meanwhile the Israeli Government has also been moving ahead with demolishing palestinianan homes. Earlier this mononth they totore down ten apartment buildings on the outskirts of East Jerusalem saying they were too close to the west bank sepaparation barr. For more on the story heres a correspondent ears macular putting from jerusalem. There is always a position to win them the government wants to build inside area state. That is an area of the witch of the west bank which israel has partial control or and its where most of f the jewish settlers leave this is a hot right wing governments there also i includes within ththat. They oppose it but i opposed it as i have done whenever its been suggested previously the last time it was suggested in twenty six staying. In an area code and account hold culturally out in the same area you know that was shot down in flames by the set the policy and the right wing partieses. This t time its differentnt and possibly the reason that its different israeli analysts assert suggesting is becauause e leadership is lolooking out washingtgton not acrcrs to ramallah but itts lookingg at what will l print please try. I hate over the israeli elections. There is a matter of putting the earlier from jerusalem. Talk to professors in california have found a symbolic way to send a message to donald trump the pat disagree with his plans to build a wall along the border with mexico.

If you do something on one sidee it will have an impact on the other side and thats what happens politically between the us and mexico. What they do that has an impact here and vice versa . Its the same with the sea so the court. Us President Donald Trumps administration has faced heavy criticism over its treatment of Migrant Children. This tuesday lawyers for the American Civil Liberties union told a federal judge that nearly a thousand Migrant Children have been separated from their parents at the border. Since the judge ordered an end to the practice over a year ago. This is on friday the Supreme Court cleared the way for the Trump Administration to use billions of dollars in pentagon funds. To build sections of the promised mexico border wall. Thats it for me thank you very much for watching [inaudible] one four four says the depth of the twenty books all these initial on your International Stocks of a more personal delay preserving of political social movements we have to adapt the forest and the trees to the new club which we experience here in front. Hello and welcome to france and focus today we had deep in the french countryside to explore the state of frances forests now across the world all green spaces around the threat. The shrinking under the pressures of Climate Change deforestation and rapid urban development. From style is blocking the trend hit there is sixteen a million acres of forest up and down the country and theyre only getting bigger. France is known for its lush and the magnificent forest. Over the past hundred years theyve more than doubled in size. This was largely caused by the rural accidents when french people fled the country site for the city. The Industrial Revolution but its also due to the development of intensive modern agriculture. Which demands less bass request to harvest. These two key factors allowed french forests to slow the growth claim they space. Today nearly a third of frances territory is covered by woodland and even if the trend has slowed over the past thirty years. French forces continue to branch out. Some ninety thousand hectares of trees emerge from the us every year. The surface area nine times the size of paris. France has the fourth largest forests in europe. Behind sweden [inaudible] finland [inaudible] and spain. Spains planting new trees thats an impressive right but not nececessarily for ecological reasons a large proportion of someththings on test destitineo be cut down and tended to paper. Critics say the help spread the forest fires that devastate suedes spanish woodland every year. U. K. Meanwhile is planning on planting some fifty million first over the next twenty five years. Great to fast new forest in the north of england. Those are among the best trees [inaudible] style sign. To get some more in depth lookk at hohow froronts is green spaceces and doing in twey nineteen i came here to power is his biggest com the one divivine sent. To meet at least five rounds shes the forest manager the ngo from nature. Hi and leave hi not thanks for joining us today we are hit in the blood of on set in paris but tell us in general all over france. All forests at risk. No plea for four says missile but very the remote native french forests and not really in danger. We didnt have deforestation problem in france but we do have other issues. There has beeeen a loss of biodiversity and franz im forrest key habititats the b bio diveversity. As other habitats disappeared you to agricuculture for example his use of pesticideses homes te soil. For is the startrting to have great to buy a divested. Thats why we must continue to protect forests because of if i pull you up because of this and did you have to think. Why is it so important to protect green spaces like this is it primarily about fighting Climate Change we yes . The kids forest a so called carbon store if. Theyre able to catch a co two from the atmospheree than storae in that trunk in that area ge got in on the rest okay and dollar off cooled off as im going to free i co two is responsible for Climate Change. French for us capture about 10 of frances annual emissions. So its really important to protect them to fight against Climate Change. Is a very political social movements now we know the government is at least considering plans to cut down thousands of trees at to use the word. Molly its not so dangerous. I dont know its based in danger and opportunity. For separate their north of trinity the danger is obviously that if we cut down too many trees. The card in store will decrease and fighting against Climate Change becomes complicated. However if you use with the materials to make furniture or in construction. The Carbon Capture during the trees life will still remain in ththe wood. Box at the bottom of questions would have been in the works and using wood as a material is better for the environment then using steel or r pvc. At the end thank you very much indeed thank you. Is a rag green oasis in the paris region but city officials have big plans for the space. Ey wanant to create a so called leisure ryland and it sends a not involves knocking down around t side of the areas trees. Now w q. As you canan imagine fy by local environmental activists they staged a sit in last year to try a and stop the bulldozer. Ferocity foes david jim back went to meet them. Theyve lost the battle but are continuing to fight to save whats left of the cornish default. Close to the public the poorest in the Eastern Suburbs of paris has grown naturally an old quarries over the last sixty years. Yeah you could not tell also there was no human intervention. The only architect is nature itself [inaudible] one of authorities decided to clear a third of the forest to build a so called leisure island. All l companies. Activists efforts to stop the bulldozers were in vain [inaudible] but the the bulldozers arrived on the eighth of october. Twenty eighteen that same day the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change leaders to plant more trees and forest what it is that with a fully. Bad day a video of french singer Catherine Ringer drawing attention to the deforestation made the rounds on social media. But the forest fate was already sealed in which utc of mobile were losing a green space in an area where there already a lot of problems concerning pollutio. Industrial wastelands and so forth if he should use our campaign was just to simply let the four speed. Its been there for sixty years stop bothering me. About it in with the forests play a crucial role by absorbibg co two emissions. But environmentalists arere also concerned a about the bio diversity already a a rarity in the paris region that has made the green space its home. Developers say the project wont pose a threat to wildlife. To date Everything Possible is done to make the animals on the stand that they must migrate to war to protect its basic. Supporters of the project say the forest could still be enjoyed in specially created outdoor areas nearby. Areas of the former quarry that would be re filled with soil and made safer for the public this was a legal yeah the subsoil is full of holes. Its danangerous foror trust p s and for the forest itself. An argument rejected by local activists who say landslides in the forest are rare. Theyve asked to local officials to declare the forest a nature reserve. And it worries that developers wont honor their promise to protecect some fifty acres from development. Our next stop this forest southeast of paris way here to meet stuff on our land the founder of t the forest action n ngo that encourages us. Offset our Carbon Footprint by planting trees. Hi hi so we are hit in at what looks like an empty field but this place used to be full of ash trees what happened. To yeah it was full of ash trees and thehey were damaged byy a didisease and we had to get them down. Because thehey t they were quite hill and nothing could be done with these trees but its not an empty field its a forest already because we we did plant. Some o oak trees herere but i qe leads o or write. That one oh two years old. And they come from a nursery you tree nursery. And they will grow for the next two hundred years. And why d did you pick oak trers had to replace the ash onenes tt i woululd disease. Thats a good one actually because the oak trees are well adapted to the land. To the soil and to the local climate. But also theyre not impacted by the same disease of the ash trees so that would be fine yea. But weve weve planted oak trees but not only. As well fruits trees because we wont bio diversity in this forest. A wise biodiversity up so it posted before us like this becacause id refer section we strongly believe that by diversity is the best Life Insurance for the forest. It increases the the chances for the forest to o resist to a climatate change you knonow two storms. Diseases to insects and so on s. The more diverse too you have the stronger the forest will be. How big of an impact in your opinion is Climate Change having on forests like this in france . Its already a a big problem Climate Change is here already we have experienced jyj damages in frowns on forests due to Climate Change. There is theyre all very long summers veryry s summers and the trees so f for lots from the from thehe serervers so we haveo adapt the forest and the trees to the new client which we experience here and friends. A living will also talk confronts recently not just about deforestation but about byod reforest ing of trees why is that a controversial issue why not a problemm. There aree different ways to approachch forests and Forest Management yourre right m t of t the plantations all who. With one single tree species. Its easier. To manage to to cut the trees when you have onlyyne spspecies. Because theyre all the same size so its easier to get into the forest and to do what you have to do with these trees right. Seven holly at t thank yu very much indeed thank you. I thank you for watching fronts in focus well see you next week [captioning made possible by democracy now ] y from new york, this is democracy now i think democrats win when we run on wheeled solutions, not impossible promises.
