you can't smell the country because it's all so balkanized. that's what we saw today, two worlds going into the same room. and then talking for 90 minutes. that's what is weird. >> i think you are right that we are very balkanized, perhaps the most since the '60s. i think a big reason why, by the way, is slow growth. that creates all kinds of stress and anxiety and problems. one of the main reasons, if not the main reason that donald trump won this election is he properly diagnosed that problem, that slow growth. this economy is not working for the vast majority of americans. it's only working for the top tier, who have already made it. >> thank you both. when we come back, let me finish with a proposal for the president-elect. and this is "hardball," the place for politics. >>> let me finish tonight with a to posal for the president-elect. let's get this country moving. one way is unite all the forces that elected you, mr. trump, the reagan democrats, the people disgusted with the political elites. jobs, rebuilding america, especially transpo

although britain never had any interest at all in the balkans. nonetheless this was a fear in the war department. marshall much preferred the more direct route to berlin via northwest france, which he hoped would result in a gigantic battle of the decisive kind that he helped plan in the muse-argonne region 24 years before. he erupted in a rare but awesome rage when he heard in the spring of 1942 that brook and churchill was not serious about the early invasion of europe which he thought they agreed to before that when they came over to washington in december 1941. at least, churchill came over. brook stayed in britain, but he signed onto the policy before churchill left. marshall was sent to london to negotiate the strategy that july by fdr, who told him it is of the highest importance that u.s. ground troops be brought into action against the enemy in 1942. he didn't want an entire year to go by from the german declaration of war on america to the point where american troops were going to fight back in the western theater. when marshall discove

also in italy, over across the balkan peninsula, might see a few thunderstorms flare up, some of them could be severe. taking a look at your temperatures, as i mentioned, staying on the chilly side. warsaw looking at some snowfall, same in moscow. partly cloudy skies, only place on the map getting into the 20s is athens, but still relatively cool for you, a high of 22. here over towards the americas, one down towards the south, some moisture for coastal areas of texas, even extending over towards southern louisiana. a cold front is moving through ontario and quebec. that's going to bring some snowfall out there. one big thing is this is also dropping those temperatures down. out ahead of it, things are warming up for example. in new york, you're actually pushing into the mid teens, but behind it, things are going to cool off considerably in saturday and sunday. denver at 15, sunny conditions, los angeles, you have sunny conditions, but the big thing is you have those santa ana winds in play. and then we take a look here into northeastern asia, around japan, seeing some scattered showe

you can't smell the country because it's so so balkanized. that's the weird thing we saw today, two worlds about to me and talking tore 90 minutes. that's what's weird. >> i think you are right, saladly, perhaps since the most since maybe 1960s. i think a lot of the reason why is throw growths this is he properly diagnosed that problem, this slow growth, this is it almost working for the top tier. >> when we come back let me finish with a proposal for the president-elect. this is "hard ball," the place for politics. ♪jake reese, "day to feel alive"♪ ♪jake reese, "day to feel alive"♪ imy moderate to severeng crohn's disease. i didn't think there was anything else to talk about. but then i realized there was. so, i finally broke the silence with my doctor about what i was experiencing. he said humira is for people like me who have tried other medications but still experience the symptoms of moderate to severe crohn's disease. in clinical studies, the majority of patients on humira saw significant symptom relief. and many achieved remiss

more rain is expected for turkey, as well as the south of the balkan peninsula. but on thursday, temperature, excuse me, weather will likely improve. now, high pressure system is controlling the weather over much of the continent, so it's quite calm but temperatures still onn the chilly side acros much of the east but across the west calm and sununny weather i expected with the exception of some parts of portugal. scattered thunderstorms are expected. now, temperatures are going to be still on the chilly side in places like paris, as well as london across the east very frigid. minus eight for the high moscow on wednesday. but temperatures expected to go up as we go into thursday. now, let's go to japan. we are looking at dry conditions, but it was a very cold morning in many places. now hokkaido had a low w of 17. rain will likely from tonight to tomorrow morning and snow will likely develop over hokakaido, s well. drier conditions on friday and beijing sunny weather will continue into your friday, but haze develop, once again, on saturday. here's your extended f

we are looking at quite a lot of heavy rainfall in the south of the balkan peninsula. you can see a lot of clouds are developing over the area. the system caused one tornado in croatia on sunday and winds are going to be quite strong across the area, as well. now, the low in france will continue to sit here at least into your tuesday. so more significant rainfall, plus tornadoes may happen in the area. now, to the north of the system, quite cold air is coming in. we will see some snowfall in the higher elevations and winds are going to be quite strong in croatia andnd surroundiding are. you can see wind gusts up to 150 kilometers. quite d dangerous out there. now, towards the west, we saw anotother tornado in spain on sunday. and more severe weather is expected for the east coast of the country. but across the north, it's going to be generally dry in the british isles and western portions of europe. temperatures are going to be cooler than average in berlin. only three degrees expected on monday. and freezing point in places like war saw and kiev and moscow on the f fi

>> there was another one, the closing down of the balkan route through southeastern europe, that was the route so many migrants took in order to get to countries like germany and that route is now closed. so even if erdogan was to make a good on his threat, we would not see the kind of numbers we had in 2015. however, even a mild increase of refugees could be problematic. we have german elections next year and the far right party in germany is making refugees a big issue. host: ok. melinda crane, our chief political correspondent. host: just as erdogan threatens to reopen the flow of migrants into europe, there has been unrest at bulgaria's largest refugee camp, authorities quelling riots in the south of the country. hundreds of migrants have been arrested and the prime minister is saying many of them will be deported. >> in the e early hours of the morning, security forces managed to quell riots in the largest refugee camp in bulgaria, using a massive police contingency. reporter: up to 1005 at a refugees clashed with police after protests on a recently proposed a ban. bogaert -- bu

it's all so balkanized. two words that have never met before, going into the same room. maybe having a cup of coffee together and talking for 90 minutes. >> listen, i think you are right, sadly, that we are very balkanized, perhaps the most we've been since the 1960s. i think a big reason why, by the way, is slow growth. that creates all kinds of stress and anxiety and problems. and one of the main reasons, if not the main reason that i think donald trump won this election is he properly diagnosed that problem, that slow growth. this economy is not working for the vast majority of americans. it's only working for the top tier, who have already made it and own assets. the rest of us, the strivers out there, the wage earners are having a very, very tough slog and he offered solutions. >> i'm always open -- >> solutions going forward. >> i'm always open to the economic argument. i do experespect the trition. who do you think of the protesters? most in their 20s. i think they're in school during the day. i think they come out of nyu last night up from downtown. in the villag

that system will push to the east into the balkans and that's going to bring rainy conditions there as well. windy conditions have been reported in the central portion of europe. the big story coming up for friday is cold air coming in from the north. it is a going to settle over a good portion of the continent. we are also looking at the possibility ofof snow in places like poland throughout the day. as t the low shifts to the east expect the area of snow to continue to expand. toward the wesest some showers g into the united kingdom. over the weekend we may be dealing with rain. so have those umbrellas handy. chilly as well. 8 in london. snow into warsaw and also into moscow. again it's going to be a bit cold. let's look at the foforecast fo northeastern portions of asia. we have rain finally getting out of the area. it was a cold, wet, drippy day. we are going to continue to see the item move to the north and east. behind it, high pressure will be coming in. what does that mean? a southerly flow coming into the picture and much warmer conditions are also expected. the chilly weather

i do also want to mention if you are traveling to the balkan peninsula here into europe, fairly potent storm system. over towards bulgaria, could be seeing winds topping 100 kilometers per hour along with some heavy rainfall as that does continue to drift off. back toward the north things are cooling down as well. we have a frontal area diving in. that's going to make for messy weather into low countries. berlin 5 only for your high. some scattered showers here on tuesday. all right, i'll leave you with your extended outlook. >>> and that wraps up this edition of nhk "newsline." i'm catherine kobayashi in tokyo. thanks very much for joining us. y >> euromaxx highlights. and now, here's your host, karin helmstaedt. karin: hello there, and a warm welcome to our highlights of the week, which have shaped up this time around with the following headline stories. back to basics. fighting for survival in the wild. edible materials, featuring artist nathan wyburn's unusual art. and taste of spain. la rioja is one of europe's leading wine-growing regions. to be at one with nature -- for many, it

along with border closures in the balkans, it stemmed the flow. but now turkey's president has hit out at europe, threatening to undo the deal and send migrants back. president erdogan: you have said in the past, what will we do if turkey opens the borders? well, if you go any further, those border gates will be open. mark: the parliament vote was nonbinding and eu leaders are unlikely to heed it. fearful of alienating a vital ally. but there is anger in brussels over what some see as blackmail by mr. erdogan. freedom, no democracy. should the eu negotiate with countries that are not democracies anymore? my answer is no. mark: turkey hosts 3 million migrants, but many are integrated and will stay for others, the dream of europe is still there. >> if the borders are open after one month, 2 months, after winter, they will go. they will not stay here. mark: not you? >> no, not for me, actually. here? ou want to stay "i would like to go to england," he says, "but it would be hard. i like life in turkey. it has given us everything." there is always a l

moving across the balkan peninsula. this low-pressure area is rather potent. actually brought large hail to parts of greece, about two to three centimeters in diameter. lifting toward the northeast and moving into cooler air. that means areas like kiev, ukraine, over toward moscow, you're going to be looking at widespread snowfall. back toward the west, though, there into germany, we do have some heavy, wet snow in the forecast. that polar air plunging in from the north and that's going to be creating some fairly rough conditions, especially as far as the snowfall could pile up on some of the trees. you might see some downed tree limbs in a few of these areas, maybe some power outages. definitely slow go out on the roads as well as far as your travel weather is concerned. we take a look here into the americas, well, if you are traveling, it's going to be a rather decent day. as far as the weather. sunny skies for the most part. we have a big area of high pressure dominating the central u.s., so all way from fork down toward atlanta, chicago, winnipeg, denver,

the good news if you are across the balkan peninsula, you've been seeing rough weather day this and day out. that low is moving east now extending over towards turkey are a high pressure settling in behind it. it's going to rain on the decent need until the next low moves in from the north. right now it should bring in gusty winds across the scandinavian peninsula. parts of finland could see 50 to 60 kilometer per hour gusts with this before showers move southeast into warsaw, maybe changing over to snow into moscow and kiev. here's your extended outlook. >>> that is all for this edition of nhk "newsline." i'm catherine kobayashi in tokyo. thanks for joining us. ♪ >> euromaxx highlights. and here's your host, louise houghton. louise: welcome to the highlights show today. we are here in berlin, where the festival of lights is in full swing. you can see that throughout the program behind me, but here is what else is coming up. on trend. featuring the latest collections for autumn-winter. the waiting game. how brexit could affect the london art scene. dream destination. exploring the bea

then bring those techniques back to their home departments. 05:06:17-33 many of the countries in the balkans have a great deal of ethinc diversity with their boundaries and they're emerging from a decades-old era of conflict among these very groups... so obviously democratic consent policing reaucratically police from egypt, norway, panama, iraq.... and even other american cities have traveled to milwaukee to learn from the department. the d-o-t is allowing tankers to haul overweight loads of fuel to avoid gas and diesel sh. shortages.it's because the west shore pipeline from milwaukee to green bay is shut down.the d-o-t confirms there's an energy emergency... and says it wants to make sure there's no shortage during the winter heating season.tankers can haul the extra fuel through january 3. 3 front...e labor department reports 161-thousand jobs were added in october, marking the 73rd consecutive month of job gains. gains.unemployment dipped to 4-point-9-percent.that's down by half since 2009, when unemployment peaked at 10- percent. wages also grew 2-point-8 percent in october compared to

it's 1,172-mile crude oil pipeline from the balkan oil fields near stanley, north dakota. to refineries and terminals that actually connects to atoka, illinois and the crude can go into eastern refineries. it will move 470,000 barrels of oil daily from the balkan in north dakota and montana to eastern markets and to refineries that depend on that crude. this is high quality. this is the lightest, sweetest crude that we produce. so it's very high quality oil of the other thing that's important to understand is this oil is already moving. it's already moving to these markets. but right now it's moving by a rail and it's moving by truck. so this is oil that is already being moved. what this pipeline does is it actually increases the efficiency and the safety with which we move oil that is already being transported to the eastern markets. furthermore, the projects has undergone years of state regulatory reviews and an extensive federal environmental assessment which found no significant environmental impact. again, the environmental assessment found no significant environmenta

now it is easy to be balkanized and exposed to those points of view that we agree with and agree with us. yet even as we work towards a more civil union, let's be sure that we remain equally committed to that transgressive idea and ideal that underpinned lenny's sacrosanctnothing is , everything is open to being questioned and challenged, and even mocked, because that is also what underpins our democracy. when denny was part and 2003, it was said in fact that pardon was for the rest of us, let's be sure we earned it. thank you.

remember, we have seen a lot of rail accidents trying to transport crude out of the balkan. furthermore, to add to all of this, the decision that is rendered today may only be some guidance on the next steps forward and may not be a final decision. so this may ultimately fall in the lap of the trump administration who is already about pro business and said it will do more to roll back regulation and make sure projects like this go through. so what happens here today is very significant. not just for the dakota access pipeline, but for the infrastructure projects in general. >> all right, jackie, thank you. jackie deangelis, cannonball, north dakota. >>> president elect trump has repeatedly called for the u.s. to be more energy independent. he's also denounced the 2015 nuclear agreement between d.c. and iran. so where is oil headed once the president elect takes office? will tensions rise in the middle east? a lot of questions, all falling under the backdrop of crude oil which has fallen back down to the $42 range. lima kroft joins us now. a lot of questions. let's get some a

the american people look at the news media today more balkanized than it has ever been. and obviously taken sides, and just one thing to editorialize, goes through the front page. neil: the media will change its approach regardless of who wins, you get reports that donald trump will go on the warpath, hillary clinton, just continue what they do, but it will be very divisive and still be what it has been. >> i would be very surprised if this kind of behavior stops because i think a lot of interests think it feeds their ratings. the media has become more balkanized so people who appeal to liberal audiences, the networks that do that have a tendency to promote that because it gives a bigger audience to the conservative side. we would be better off if everyone play the cards face up on the table but we have learned that won't happen and when you look at hillary clinton who is the most distrusted candidate, she and trump together are the most negatively perceived candidates in the history of polling for president of the united states, when you look at that you understand ther

just admitting that he did help at least ten state fighters enter into belgium as refugees through the balkan chino. all ten corrugated attacks hit both paris and later brussels. one of 88 generals supporting trump he is thomas mcinerney. what are your thoughts on the comments admitting that yes there are ten of them that were behind the attacks in europe. >> i am embarrassed for her. it is unbelievable. she must just read the new york times and does understand what's going on in america and why the american people soundly gave trump a victory and that's because of the potential -- the protected economy we have. the 1.1% average growth. the lowest of any president in our history. he never recognized radical islam for what it is. we had 22 suicides a day. there is a litany of other things job markets growth talking together and 93 million americans that are not full-time employed and so that is why america sent a clear signal that they want to change and i strongly object to them telling us how to run our country when she can't even run her own. liz: we've had protest we had protest breaking o

assuaged by trump's peaceful overtures to putin, "widespread in russian speaking communities in the balkans and beyond and contrast starkly with the alarm, even panic, where vladimir putin is viewed as a threat that must be resisted, not appeased." meanwhile, nbc confirms mitt romney, who famously warned about the rise of vladimir putin, is set to meet with trump this weekend. a source close to trump told nbc news the 2012 gop presidential nominee is being considered for secretary of state, a stunning turn given romney's frequent criticism of trump. >> donald trump tells us that he is very, very smart. i'm afraid, though, when it comes to foreign policy, he is very, very not smart. donald trump says he admires vladimir putin. at the same time, he's called george w. bush a liar. that is a twisted example of evil trumping good. his foreign policies would make america and the world less safe. he has neither the temperament nor the judgment to be president, and his personal qualities would mean that american would cease to be a shining city on a hill. >> other names are falling from favor, like

a lot of the problems in europe are because of the balkanization and alienation of the muslim community there. so this is a concern and we have to make sure our reaction to it doesn't aggravate the problem. >> as you know, isis promotes this idea of a clash of civilizations, arguing that muslims aren't accepted in western countries, as you point ut. did the president-elect play into that by pushing that temporary ban on muslims coming into the united states, the anti-refugee stance being advocated on the campaign trail? >> absolutely. i think those kind of statements that don't discriminate between practitioners of one of the great faiths and people who would pervert that faith like al qaeda and isis, are really contributing to the problem. so yes, those kind of statements made by the president-elect i think were deeply damaging. you know, the statements general flynn made about fear of all muslims being rational, those things are deeply destructive and play into the al qaeda and isis narrative of a clash of civilizations and we need to be careful to avoid making the idealogical problem

. >> but even if they're purple states like north carolina, they're still balkanized. >> thank you for mentioning north carolina. we've just changed our designation in north carolina. can we get there? we'll get there this way. we had north carolina too early. we're now in too close to call. there's those blue blues and those red reds that mr. schmidt was talking about. we're over the halfway mark, 61% of the vote in. a difference of 68 and change just north of 68,000 votes. it's that time of the evening where these states can become calls. we're watching them, we're going to leave you, though not that fast, for a commercial break. we'll be back on the other side. obviously if we're in a break and any of these states pop, we'll come out of the break. >>> we are back, 8:47 eastern time. 20% in. this is the national popular vote. donald trump is leading the national popular vote 14 million and change to 12 million and change. but then direct your eyes up in that upper right-hand corner, 20% of the vote in. this is the by county map. these are always good to curl up with the day after the

i think the larger message andme lesson that arises from this is that in a balkanized regulatory system like we have in the united states, it's extremely difficult for one regulator -- even the if fed which is thea most powerful -- to pass a rule and actually see it enforced. >> host: oh, i think that's right. but there were other regulators. and although most of the bad stuff wasn't happening on, in fed-regulated institutions, certainly not at the beginning, the fed was the center of regulators. w alan greenspan could have gathered the regulators in his conference room and said, look, there's bad stuff going on out there.er what are we going to do about it. there was a collective lack of concern among the regulators fof the rapid decline in lending d standards and the fact that it was being fueled by securitizing the, these bad loans. many of them were bad loans. and selling them all around the world to very eager buyers who thought that they had high credit ratings, and they were good investments. >> guest: i mean, i want to stipulate that, you know, of course there's a lot of truth t

arguably, she wo her second termn in office only because of the balkans. although people look at thatcher later on and say her reforms are necessary, they were also extreme the painful the short-term. you think france is the for that kind of pain over the next few years? hugeu know, the participation, the huge turn on the primary shows that it's much more than the republican party. it's more than 4 million people in the party. we have only 200,000 people. you see this huge turnout, showing that people who want this program to be l applied, they realize it is the only way. we don't have any other solution. fillon said it may be difficult, it will be difficult, but this is the right way to go in order to bring back france into the game. guy: how long to you think it will take though,? as stephen said, it took an awful long time for the u.k. to move to that supply-side reform process that we went through. how long do you think it will affect france? we have all experienced this strikes and the problems that france has had in the past. they're a very well orga

view of security is also trends.y defense, not we think about the ukraine and the rattling up in the balkans. the east china sea, the south china sea, north korea. or it's often about people, .eaders it's not about the values that find alliances together. ,e have also been cavalier blurring the distinction of the word ally. allowed it to apply to who only fight with us, but they are all deemed equal. we have not made it clear that they are allies, with the associated commitments and and others who are valuable to be sure without the status of ally. we have not articulated the common cause based on the holidays the benefit the coverage and discussion that is too often about what allies are not doing, rather than what they are doing. and what we do to help them as opposed to how our relationship with them enables the facilitating of shaping the environment consistent with our interest in to our advantage. in a wider context we neglected economics ignoring these relationships that can accrue to those who are in these special relationships. that we use, in my opinion, it skews the discussion, ra

we were able to address with nato some of the key areas of instability, such as the balkans , that threatens the cold war -- post-cold war peace of europe. nato help us respond in afghanistan to the strikes on an 9/11.sh on for a while, nato and russia had a great relationship was cold on 9/11. for a while, nato and russia had a great relationship after the cold war, especially with goodwin have what forces on location, so for a while, things went well. i think there was a lot of hope that nato could transition into an institution that was not about collecting the collective security. that is the point areas where we joint security threats around the world, where military responses might be needed. unfortunately, russia's actions in ukraine showed that it was not necessarily going to be the case. i would point out it was russia that started in ukraine the aggression that has led not to .he annexation of crimea it is clear, as well, that the irregular troops in the separatist forces in eastern ukraine are perhaps guided by russian forces on the territory of ukraine. from scotland and i want t

the political process in the eu and elsewhere to the fanning of community conflict in ukraine and the balkans and further afield. the result of the mh-17 investigation as well. we had a sober assessment of this reality and no illusions. increasing tensions with russia is not our aim. we are simply reacting to steps taken by russia who is working with considerable energy and focus to weaken a divided eu. our long-term objective means sticking to our values and interests, but also keeping the door open to dialogue. we all agreed that the european union approaching russia is our greatest strength, so we'll stand united. we also discussed syria. we condemned attacked by the syrian regime and its allies, notably russia, in aleppo. the eu is calling for an end to the atrocities and an immediate cessation of hostilities. we asked the high representative to pursue further diplomatic and humanitarian efforts. if these atrocities continue, all available options will be considered. the syrian people need an immediate and permanent cease-fire and a reopening of humanitarian aid corridors. the last issue

for the first time in decades, austria-hungary is the victim, not the perpetrator of crises in the balkans. it is an opportunity that will not come again. what did germany do with that opportunity? it claimed it was mobilizing armed forces because russia was coming at them. then it sends them into belgium and france. to most americans, the only explanation for that is that the aristocracy has goals of its own, and it is sending people into this slaughter on the western front and sending europe into a series of slaughters for goals that nobody understands except the german aristocracy. the dominant american view is if you get rid of the idiots that are running germany, this problem won't come back. and again, it's the same thing we do in 1945. the problem is not germany. we will let volkswagen go right back to what it is doing. we will take just a small number of people in nuremberg and hang them. nothing wrong with the german people. we were just need to give them democracy, coca-cola and kroger, and they will be fine. that is the dominant attitude. most americans, and i would concur whole

remember it has already delegated in the past authority during the cold war and secretary-general during balkans conflict. nato needs to return to these things and not think it's reinventing the wheel. also i think we need to see a change from basic defense budget planning among alliances. there's too many free riders in europe, but at the same time i feel washington is enabling this because we're doing too many unilateral actions. i feel already two rounds of e.r.i., the united states has put money on the table. according to the nato secretary-general's report, nato defense spending grew in the past year by over $3 billion, over european and canadian allies. e.r.i. itself is 3.4 billion, which is a significantly large number. so they are spending more on their national defense but not committing more to nato missions. i feel that before a third e.r.i. is approved or recommended by the next u.s. administration, it needs to be a multi-lateral e.r.i., one in which both the united states and our allies both put capabilities on the field. thank you very much. i look forward to your questions. >> tha

i of course do not expect the vladimir putin would send russian troops to balkan states. i don't expect him to do it now anyway. i also don't expect however do you think this entirely benign in defense of development. 70 miles from the oscars -- [inaudible] i also expect the baltic state would be emboldened and that their position in russia which has a growing influence in shaping diplomacy would become harder, which may contribute between the west and russia. but also expect the russian imposition would decide to put in putin's place that is approaching -- [inaudible] the russian opposition but he calmed the intelligence security mindset which connect to our actions. i connected disability that of course would not be across the border. in estonia and ludwig. just like they mentioned it is not just russian, but was elected on a russian speaking ticket. before he became an elective this which is considered more nations -- [inaudible] [inaudible] is demonstrated in ukraine's lower six, short of an intervention. so that is my question to you. actually, i will surprise you. i

his supporters are talked about the balkans being a cover for saint petersburg, so who cares about nato? i agree, there are certain things that donald trump has said and done the can only bring vladimir putin pleasure. but, that said, i think in general, putin needs to have something to react against. and most -- britain's main thing is he has long-term objectives, but he is fundamentally an opportunist. trump my give him opportunities in some ways, but would be a harder push for him. plus, hillary, he knows exactly what he's going to get. he's going to get something slightly more hostile than obama. and that, he doesn't like. but at least he knows what he's getting. night?nl saturday coming up in the past, 22 elections the s&p has gone 15 times the day after the polls close. what's going to happen tomorrow? we discussed that next. check out the stock of bank of cut at, off by .6%, deutsche bank after the recent run-up. now deutsche bank says the stock is valued right in line with peers. now it's better valued. this is bloomberg. ♪ emma: this is "bloomberg daybreak," i am emma chandra
