emily: has your position on travis's role changed? because tpg did not sign that original letter asking for him to resign. i am curious how your own has?ion as a main investor jim: we have a huge amount of respect for what was accomplished by the company and , what was accomplished for ridesharing generally. companies have to evolve, so we have then in favor of evolution positive ways. i don't think that is necessarily a focus on any individual, but we are are pleased to see the company moving forward on a number of fronts in the way that they must. emily: what is the lesson you think tpg has learned from the way uber -- from the way the uber story has a full to? jim: i think uber is a company that works in reverse dog years. both in terms of growth and in terms of earnings. if i take away one message it is that governance and culture really matter. we always do that, but sometimes in the flurry of growth out here in silicon valley, we need to keep focus on governance and culture. emily: how so? jim: i think it is just making sure tha

can you describe what has changed so that everything changes other than inflation? >> well, you know, the projections that we are showing you, many factors when into and fiscal policy is one of those different factors. you are looking at the participants who made adjustments to economic outlook for variety of reasons, including rethinking some of the fundamentals that went into the original forecast and there have differentications in directions by participants and i would say there is a danger and that as a leap that isn't quite justified. modestlyally see faster growth over the next couple of years and it is consistent. for most for disappearance, it taxes stimulating consumer spending and it isn't growth that is gigantic relative to september. you do see the path to lower unemployment. committee wants to see this only modestyou see changes to the fed fund rate and you might think, should i see more? the unemployment rate runs a there is alower and slightly tighter monetary policy. is thatalancing that inflation ran lower than that timet could take a longer to ach

it president signed into law which makes sweeping changes, expands benefits and truly changes it way we view the forever gi bill for it future. the act as become known as the forever gi bill because of its most recognized feature as a removal of the 15-year time limitation transitioning out of the military after january first of 2013. to use their post 9/11 gi bill benefits. other important features are that it restores features since 2015. and enhances benefits for surviving dependents and purple heart recipients. it led them to leading and coordinating all forever bill implementation activities. also in record time a management contract that provides further support through it addition of additional expertise. the law require as significant it effort with 32 of the 34 provisions if -- oit as committed to providing alution for it most pressing of these provisions. sections 107 and 501 which changed the way va pays monthly housing. they will assure timely processing of additional claims and will stand up new initiatives such as theedeth norris rogers stem scholarship by establishing

covering climate change means communicating urgency without. looking beyond belief politics to a grassroots movements already taken action. identifying the actors and the system that got his here in the first place but to represent climate justice requires one more crucial step to identify and give voice to the victims who are feeling climate impacts not in the future but here and now treating climate change as a question of environmental justice means starting from its impact on people rather than from an abstract modeling or doomsday scenario the best of environmental journalism takes off and private experiences of deprivation of injustice and enable people to commit sort of connect the dots to create a shared experience around which they can organize themselves environment impacts politics social fabric economic everything. communities that are finding it hard to feed their families people moving out of their gauges and going into towns it's important to report on these one of these because then you see how much of an impact i mean having be

and to change don't want trans mine i mean i don't know if anyone can change donald trump spy and i think the only one who can do that is donald trump and sometimes i wonder if even he knows what he's doing at the moment and if he goes through with this it's it's it's going to be a catastrophe for all involved everyone whether he goes for that first step of either moving the embassy to jerusalem or simply to recognize where are we are we talking about different levels of of dangers here let me let's start with what is most likely recognizing jerusalem as the capital but no move of the embassy that's like being half pregnant and there's no such thing if if he goes through one he might as well go through the other but what would happen though if he if he goes with this more symbolic move and say ok jerusalem is the capital you would have an explosion. any change to the status quo which is miserable in and of itself divide but any change any unilateral change of that status quo and out of that magnitude will have an equal and opposite reaction and that is going to be so disastrous for

and as it changes, we humans are living that change too. as the earth gets hotter, the arctic ice is melting, global sea levels are rising, and the whole delicate interconnected balance that underpins our weather systems is getting thrown off. heat waves are common occurre e occurrenc occurrences. this year carbon emissions are projected to spike to record highs. if things don't change we're on course to heat the planet by more than 5 degrees farenheit but end of the century. scientists agree that humans are the main drivers of climate change. in the weeks since we filmed our report 15,000 scientists from around the world issued a warning to mhumanity. they say we're heading down a path to substantial and ir versable harm to the planet. there is no silver bullet. we spoke to dozens of scientists for this program and all of them agree there is still time but not much. the only question is what will we do about it. when food is god and clean and real, it's ok to crave. and with panera catering, there's more to go around. panera. food as it sh

the changes already coming. we have to be ready to meet it with all of our injury -- energy. we cannot ever feel that we cannot be ourselves. i will do you something very simple. a progressive democratic candidate with a clear, strong, economic message, with a populist approach, who will go to the grassroots. that is the republican's worst nightmare. that is what we need more of in this state and every state. when we do it right, anything is possible. you may say wait a minute. what do you mean anything is possible? surely you understand there are many states where it is difficult to win. states thatre many are difficult to win. i will argue to you that we are in a once in a generation moment. i will argue to you that people are already starting to move. the election of donald trump supercharged them and created in energy and focus like we have never seen before. i will argue that it is reaching every corner of the country. you might say that sounds a little idealistic. let me talk about what happened a few week

you changed it, you are trying to change it from within the company. joe: that is a very good question. very good question. you need to be successful in the short term, yet not lose in the long-term. this is the balance you need to strike. it's that simple. in essence you need to keep the difference between the short-term aspect and the long-term aspect. you just need to keep the distance very close. because the wider it gets, the more active it is to say hey, this is the performance cap i want now. francine: it was pretty controversial when you went to see vladimir putin a couple of years ago. are you ever concerned about being controversial? joe: the intent was not to be controversial. francine: in march 2014, joe kaeser met with vladimir putin at his residence outside moscow. it was days after russia had annexed crimea and just as the west was launching its own showdown. president obama: together, we have condemned russia's invasion of ukraine and rejected the legitimacy of the crimean referendum. joe: the outcome was complicated, to put it positive

admittedly, i didn't support the change in the 113th congress. i was concerned when the senate altered the rules, there would be no turning back. i'm worried that the changes proposed at the time limit each senator's voice and power. but i've witnessed something different. the nominees whether i supported or opposed them were debated on and voted on in a timely and practical manner. more importantly the senate no longer wasted in words waiting now to hear about the virtues of the vices of the surgeon nominees, not to debate their efficiencies or discuss whether they were fit or unfit, just waiting for the $30 of post-cloture debate to expire. in 2013 the senate was able to carry out its constitutional duties and we've witnessed a timely executive branch. to allow the senate to stop waiting and start acting. that is exactly what we need today. the american people are frustrated i and washington gridlock and believe we can't even get the simplest of things done. we need to fix this interface with the process to what it once was and i believe that t

what would you like to see change? if i may, do you think the grandstanding and the big declarations at awards ceremonies, and i guess i am thinking of meryl streep at the golden globes, do you think that way of delivering an anti—trump message is effective or not? i don't know. all i know is that, and i say this as a dyed in the wool democrat, the democratic party has failed us. the clintons failed us. and in a way, the 0bama administration... they have all neglected the very people who voted for trump. who used to be the base of the democratic party. these people are in such pain. and they are so angry. some of them are just — forget about it, they are white supremacists, they hate, they are filled with things... you don't even talk to them. but there is a lot of other people, for example, who voted for 0bama twice, and then voted for trump. these are people whose identity has been taken away, their factories, that used to pay them a good union wage, that they could support their family on. they are gone. who are

the senate needs a change in behavior more than a change in rules. we change the rules in 2012 and 13 to to make it easier for president obama and his successors. i spent a lot of time on that as did many others. we eliminated the quick holes required 72 hours to reveal legislation. made 373 nominations privileged. eliminated confirmation of 163 major positions. eliminate the need to confirm 3163 noncontroversial positions. we did all that. we got to several major speedup the motion to proceed and short post cloture debate. still the nuclear option has been used twice since then. and i would say that on novembet there were 20 judges and 56 executive nominations pending. only four more than 60 days, twice as many are pending today. 24 more than 60 days. so conditions are worse today and with the democrats said we needed to use the nuclear option. the change in behavior when deep boils down to one word. restraint. senators baker in part for successful because senators did not insist on using every right in prerogative. motions to proceed unanimous cons

today, we're all about climate change. in the indian city of delhi, air pollution levels are sky-high again. the causes may be many and varied, but humans are behind all of them. in uganda, a new hydro-electric plant promises clean energy. but will locals also benefit? first, though, we talk to scientists about the connection between climate change and natural disasters. reporter: extreme weather events are growing ever more frequent. natural disasters -- more destructive and deadly. each one reignites the debate -- was it a freak of nature, or a result of climate change and human activity? recent hurricanes harvey, irma and maria killed over 200 people in the u.s. and the caribbean, and they caused nearly $1 trillion worth of damage. donald trump, an outspoken climate change skeptic, visited the disaster area, and he continues to rule out that human activity could have caused the catastrophe. but now there's a field of science which, for the first time, is able to estimate whether a natural disaster was likely due to huma

we are still finding it difficult to adjust to climate change. in this farming season we planted our main seed and unfortunately part of it died off because there was so much rain. and things are continuing to get worse and nothing will come out of its cup here yet is the nothing. out of our research institute or the ari inspect the trial field. the fall army worm and invasive species has done a lot of damage here and throughout the country it's estimated that about a tenth of the maize crop is a fact that. insecticides have been used to contain the past. but the scientists say only a balanced ecosystem with natural past predators can ensure success in the future. we work with. the paste. through. integration of trees. and help to control. the way meanwhile climate change continues to threaten zimbabwe's farmers. but hope is rising high in this village in the district. the region's farmers have all suffered harvest losses now representatives from the ministry of agriculture and a private c production company say they have a solution a new variety

pattern of circulation change from the atmosphere? excuse me, just to be cleared them, are cold snaps like this happening more less frequently? i don't think we can tell quite at this point. what do know is that winters are milder in general. these temperatures, which cold, are more unusual 110w than they would have been 30 years ago. as a society, we have adapted subconsciously to somewhat warmer winters so when we do get these kinds of cold temperatures which are not all that unusual 30 or a0 years ago, they seem to be more unusual to us today. so you are saying there could be something in this? i think so. we've gotten to the point where there has been a change of one degree in the global average preindustrial times. we are finding more and more extreme weather events have been made more severe or more likely by this rather substantial change. we often say don't confuse weather and climate but we are reaching the point where individual weather events have a climate change component. last week president trump tweeted something along

emily: has your position on travis' role changed? because tpg did not sign that original letter asking for him to resign. i am curious how your own position as a main investor has evolved. jim: we have a huge amount of respect for what was accomplished of the company and what was accomplished for uber and ridesharing generally. companies have to evolve, so we favor of evolution in positive ways. i don't think that is necessarily a focus on any individual, but we are are pleased to see the company moving forward on a number of fronts in the way that they simply must. emily: what is the lesson tpg has learned from the way uber 's story unfolded over the past two months? jim: uber works in reverse dog years. one year in uber is like seven years at another company, both in terms of growth and in terms of earnings. if i take away one message it is that governance and culture really matter. we always knew that, but sometimes in the flurry of growth out here in silicon valley we need to keep focus on governance and culture. emily: how so? j

any changes to the dots in future years? christian: it is a question whether yellen in her last press conference, as you just said, is she really changing something? i don't expect any changes in the dots now. the market is going for the rate hike. what's important is to read the inflation picture. it's an important story for 2008. mark: we had some pretty strong ppi data yesterday. is that a precursor to inflation that is going to pick up? christian: we think it is picking up next year, but not massively. is it really bringing inflation down forever? we don't think that is the case. growth is quite strong. we think it remains strong in 2018. one consequence should be, given the very low unemployment rate, even coming down further from here, i guess, that inflation is picking up slightly. mark: it hasn't, has it? has remained the lowest core rate for the best part of five years. not enough to sway the doubters on the fomc. those who would rather wait to see the whites of the eyes of inflation. christian: there are some who w

it a yemeni for all seasons he changes alliances too many times and by the way it's ok to change one's alliances in politics is nothing wrong with that the problem is when you change ones as alliances only to maintain power and despite the heavy price and death and destruction as for so many yemenis so many lives have been sacrificed so that this man stays in power or stays relevant in the history what should be we be looking for now in the immediate aftermath of this dramatic shift in the situation in yemen what should we be looking out for now i think the most important thing is what's to become of us followers and what to become of those who continued to. be following i love what would happen to those military units that were dependent on him what will become of saudi in what i see a policy in yemen now that there are mean bets on the side of his no more when we see a change a complete change of station whereby people now start looking seriously about political diplomatic solution for yemen or will we see other people again and maybe abu dhabi and so you are saying you know what now

changed for the better but that also puts pressure on silicon valley to change. at the very least now versus in the future to see the yes we will work on diversity for hiring and thinking more about users whether or not that is effective that on the writing side not just looking at those who cover technology but those who are contributing to a larger discourse of the role of technology in society that has to do with looking at a whole range of riders. not just like those technology journalist but those writing the op-ed. as a direct response to the current issue so in trying to articulate this a lot of that has to do with women writing a blog post or critique a technology that doesn't include fitness tracking. those kinds of pieces come from a lot of different directions and not limited to publications with that places you look for coverage from the typical male-dominated -- dominated tech world. >> and no matter how enlightened you are you cannot do that but so looking at the example of the coverage a lot of women journalists are writing that that is a reason if

i know for me, the internet has been able to change my life and allows me to change other people's lives by having this free forum to be able to speak, and that is supposedly with the century is all about, right? be able to speak freely and have a place to speak. the problem is when we start putting $on that, we are now limiting -- dollar signs on that, we're limiting the ability of people to get and receive information -- send out and receive information. we know knowledge is what? >> power. >> so it's only a few people have certain access to knowledge, only certain people have access to -- >> power. >> and when these people are trying to keep you disempowered, un-empowered, lack of powered, nonpowered, we have to speak up. there are people who always say why bother? why show up? why say anything? if that were the case, we would still be drinking from water fountains that they colored and white people, ok? we wouldas the case, not have title ix. there are a number of things that we would still be saying we just have to deal with that. this is the thing about this country.we do not deal

many visit today is in the admission that the threat from climate change is real. serious and is growing overnight. it was here that a group of island nations who are already leaving the effects of climate change took their plea to the world's biggest greenhouse gas and meters they asked to reframe the debate from what the polluters should or should not do into how the victims should cope. something that could be a major game changer for many in the caribbean the practical absence of alex tricity and the very spotty telecom coverage here means being almost completely cut off from the international news the old transvaal warming escapades or the indignation of his critics are equally irrelevant in the way they all are fake news because what matters down here is not what drives climate change but what should be done about it the trumpet ministrations pullout from the paris climate deal has prompted lots of righteous scoring which somewhat obfuscates the fact that even those who support the deal don't quite practice what they preach germany which portrays itself as th

siding epic drought and climate change. brown called the fires, quote, the new normal for california. more than 1000 homes and buildings have been destroyed in the blazes. combined, they now cover 175,000 acres in four counties. that's nearly a quarter of the size of rhode island. in fact, it just expended in santa barbara county as well. 8500 firefighters are on the front lines tonight, including many crews from the bay area. reporter greg mills spoke with a woman who lost her home but she says she's grateful for what she has left. >> reporter: gabby poindexter and her son trevor were snacking on the front steps of their home when we spotted them. those steps are about the only thing left, after the thomas fire raced through their neighborhood in ventura. >> i have five beautiful children and 10 beautiful grandchildren. and, if that is what survived, thank god. >> she's very grateful her chicken to survive, too. >> reporter: somehow, the fire skipped over the chicken coop in the backyard. she was surprised to learn that go

what is the one thing that will change over the next four to five years. will i be more demanding as a customer? frederico: on the net-a-porter business, we have an importer and incredible customer base made up of people who spend -- women of today, who spend over one million lira easily, to buy a watch. or to buy a watch of 100 thousand pounds or more net-a-porter. they just sold a valentino dress for 35,000 euros. we have the most discerning customer out there. we definitely do not share the same customer base as our competitors. imagine 2% of our customers make about half of the total revenue, so it is very concentrated. francine: you were one of the first to put hard luxury, with watches costing 30,000 pounds or more, was there any skepticism about selling such things online? frederico: again, i'm a customer. so as a customer, if you are in a great environment with great content, great storytelling, great products and assortment, if you are buying a valentino dress for 35,000 euros, why not also by bugelatti watch, or any other type of watch like that?
