Bit. If i fall, pick me up. Boy, the oscars with a focus on diversity and role of women in hollywood. We have the winners and answer to the question everybody is asking later today. What is an inclusion rider . It is not the jet ski given away to the shortest speech. That was fun. Good morning. Welcome to early start. Im dave briggs. Im christine romans. March 5th. 4 00 a. M. In the east. 11 00 a. M. In jerusalem. 5 30 in the evening in pyeongchang. Lets begin with the trade disruption. The president set to deliver a Key Campaign Promise tariffs on steel and aluminum imports. The surprise announcement last week was enough to cause immediate outcry from u. S. Businesses and trading partners and fellow republicans. One fear here risks jobs in industries that rely on steel and aluminum if you drive a car or fly or drink a beer. The white house officials were on a p. R. Tour promising it will not hurt the broader economy and no countries will be exempt. Even key allies. Here is trade adviser peter navarro. An exemption prior for particular cases where we need to have exemptions so business can move forward, but at this point in time, there will be no country exclusion. That is peter navarro. He is a longtime trade hawk. Navarro was backed up by commerce secretary wilbur ross. He says no exceptions. As far as i know he is talking about a fairly broad brush. Experts warn that could spark a trade war. The eu promised to slap a tax on american exports. Harley davidson motorcycles. Where are those made . Wisconsin. Bourbon from kentucky. Levis jeans. In return, the president promised to tax foreign cars. If the eu wants to threaten the tariffs, he will add a tax on their cars. Europe imposes a 10 tariff on american cars. It employs thousands of workers in the United States. Trumps announcement was made against the wishes of top advisers, including gary cohn. The downplay that cohn thread evened to leave over this. This is what the president said on the campaign trail. Over the last year with the stock market up and everything the president did which was raw pro business, an a l lot of peo are lulled into complacency. The five words that shocked me was wilbur ross saying as far as i know. Shouldnt your commerce secretary should know everything . Peter navarro is a strong critic of trade. A lot of people think he has been blunted by gary cohen and others in the white house. It looks like a massive change. To the Academy Awards last night. Not free of politics. The me too focus capped by Warren Beatty and faye dunaway last year when they read the wrong winner when they received the wrong envelope. It is so nice seeing you again. As they say, presenting is lovelier the second time around. And the oscar goes to the shape of water. Guillermo del toro checked the envelope to make sure it took top prize. The shape of water was nominated for 13 and won 4. Jimmy kimmel had a few jokes. Some aimed at donald trump. Some aimed at President Trump, but most of the focus on the me too movement. Oscar is 90 years old tonight which means he is probably at home right now watching fox news. Oscar is still number one. No question about it. Oscar is the most beloved and respected man in hollywood. There is a very good reason why. Just look at him. He keeps his hands where you can see them. Never says a rude word. And most importantly, no penis at all. He is literally a statue of limitations. If we are successful here, if we can Work Together to stop Sexual Harassment in the workplace fif we can do that, women will only have to deal with harassment all the time every place they go. Three of Harvey Weinsteins accusers shared an emotional moment on stage before introducing a video highlights diversity in hollywood. The changes we are witnessing are driven by the powerful sound of new voices of different voic voices and of our voices. Joining together in a chorus saying times up. Frances mcdormand won best lead actress for the role in three billboards outside ebbing, missouri. She delivered a message of female empowerment. If i may be so honored to have all the female nominees in every category stand with me in this room tonight. The actors, meryl, if you do it, everybody else will do it. Producers, directors, writers, cinematographers, the designers, come on okay. Look around, everybody. Look around, ladies and gentlemen. We all have stories to tell and projects we need financed. Tonig invite us into your office in a couple of days or you can come to ours. We will tell you all about them. I have two words to leave with you tonight. Ladies and gentlemen, inclusion rider. From the heart and off the cuff and really inspiring. An inclusion rider is a clause in a contract that requires diversity of the cast and crew. Gary oldman won for Winston Churchi churchill. And Allison Janney won for i, tonya and sam rockwell won for three billboards outside ebbing, missouri. And jordan peele won for the thriller get out. And kobe bryant won an Academy Award for best animated short dear basketball based on the poem by the former l. A. Lakers star. Impressive. A lot of nba championships. One other note from the show. We heard who is in charge when house of cards returns in the fall. Were just getting started. Goodbye kevin spacey, hello robin wright. The promo for the show aired during the oscars. Nine minutes past the hour, a delegation of officials from south korea heading to pyongyang today for meetings with the north korean counterparts. They plan to raise talks with the United States for the latest Heated Exchange with u. S. And north korea raises doubts about getting both parties to the table. Cnns will ripley is in beijing for us this morning. Will, bring us up to speed. Reporter christine, we believe that south korean delegation is on the ground in pyongyang right now. They will spend the night. It is a quick trip. A lot on the agenda. Trying to set the framework for dialogue and talks with the United States. South korean president spending the top security adviser in more than ten years since the president ial summit in 2007. Obviously, dialogue with the United States is at the top of the list. President trump spoke about it over the weekend. He said north korea called up and said they would like to talk and he told them they have to denuke. North korean media responded we will not denuke. They said it like this. The u. S. Should not misjudge the willingness to talk. I can tell you north koreans have told me in many discussions and consistently in the state media that the Nuclear Arsenal is there to stay. You go to pyongyang and you see propaganda centered around Nuclear Weapons. It is hard to see how they will walk away from that. The u. S. Said if difficult plpl doesnt work, they will move to phase two. The largest gathering in the country kicking off hours ago. The National Peoples congress where kpixi jinping is set to resurule for life. President trump joking about that over the weekend saying maybe the u. S. Should try that. That could be the story of the next decade. No question. Will ripley, thank you. The most downplayed story in last couple weeks. Chinese think 50 years and 100year increments. The u. S. Thinks election to election. Just by that, you know, we just show our folly. Israel Prime Minister heads to the white house today.

Police say there is enough evidence to indict him on charges, including pribribery. Joining us from jerusalem is ian lee. Good morning to you. Reporter good morning. You know, theres a lot they will be discussing in the meetings. First off for the Prime Minister you have iran. Iran has been a topic he has been hitting on quite often. He is worried about Irans Nuclear program. This Iranian Nuclear deal which he says fix it or nix it. We know french officials will travel to iran to discuss that. The french president macron. You have syria and lebanon. Far as far as the president , we hear there is a plan they put together for a Peace Process and none have seen it. That is the deal he is pushing with the special envoy to the region. Another topic is the u. S. Embassy move. We are hearing the president can receive an invitation for the Ribbon Cutting ceremony expected to take place in may. We are also hearing that guatemala is going to move their embassy to jerusalem in may as well. We also are following the Prime Ministers legal woes back here back home. He is being investigated in these three cases. Last friday he was questioned by authorities. Something he is probably happy to be in d. C. To take a break from. Dave. Especially considering reporters are not allowed to ask questions. Ian, thank you. Bashar al assad says the military will hold tactics against ghouta. The white house condemning the ongoing hit operations and accusing russia of targeting civilians as part of the brutal campaign. Cnns Jomana Karadsheh tracking events for us. She is live from amman, jordan. The government line is these are terrorists. Rooting out terrorists. The rest of the world saying these are civilians and families. Reporter this is always the regimes narrative, christine. They always maintained they will go after terrorist groups. That is the word they used when talking about the rebel groups. We heard from president assad saying they will continue the campaign for Eastern Ghouta. That is the terrorism fight like other parts of the country. They are saying it is not impacting civilians leaving. The reality on the ground is complex. It is different. We have not seen civilians being able to leave despite president putins humanitarian pause for five hours of the last week. This is all happening as we see the regime making advances on the ground as part of the ground offensive in recent days. There has been intense fighting on several fronts. On the eastern front, they have pushed in and taken over on sunday a number of villages and that prompted civilians in the thousands really to flee westward. So far there is no sign of an end to the escalating violence there and mounting death toll we hear from the United Nations and other organizations. We are waiting to see what happens today in the coming hours with the u. N. Convoy. Trucks loaded with aid for gout f ghouta. Thank you, jamaiomana.

President trump assuming a new role over the weekend. Comic in chief. The president providing a rare look at the self deprecating side over the dinner. We have the president s most notable remarks on the topic of his soninlaw. I want to apologizing for arriving late because jared could not get through security. I wont rule out direct talks with kim jong un. I wont. As far as risk of dealing with a madman is concerned, thats his problem, not mine. And this. So many people leaving the white house. It is exciting and invigorating because you want new thoughts. I like turnover and chaos. The question is who is the next to leave. Steve miller or melania . I rarely heard this president ever self deprecating. I think that is mean. The president dishing it out. Saturday night live back on the air after the olympic hiatus. And alec baldwin back at it. I announced the steel and aluminum tariffs. I brought back the steel by destroying the auto industry. Look at that. Both sides hated it. I dont care. I said i was going to run this country like a business. That business is a waffle house at 2 00 a. M. [ applause ] crazies everywhere. Staff walking out of the middle of the shift. Managers taking money out of the Cash Register to payoff the russian mob. Alec baldwin. No tweets from the president about that. Back to the self deprecating thing. If he did more of that, he might be better off. I thought the tone was good. To have him chummy with the press, that is a new development. Ahead, the white house says new trade tariffs will apply to all countries and no exception. Why is the president pushing ahead with the plan as some are calling a huge mistake. The must see moment at the oscars and the speech that brought all women to their feet. Next. Why does it kee crashing . This is taking forever. I think its time for the fixmestick.

At this point in time, no country exclusion. No country, friend or foe, will be spared from new trade tariffs this week. The white house insists it will with not hurt the economy, but when will an actual plan be on the table and why are so many of the president s key aides against it . Hyperventilating a little bit. If i fall, pick me up. Because ive got some things to say. She sure did. The oscars with the focus on diversity and the role of women in hollywood. We have the winners and answer to the question you may be asking this morning. What is an inclusion rider. Frances mcdormand with a terrific speech on a good night for hollywood. Im dave briggs.
