and commerce within north america. many of the events and publications occurred under the umbrella of our usmca a working group which we established about a year ago and about which you will hear more later on. that group brings together policymakers and stakeholders to discuss rules of origin, work force development, energy, border management and travel and tourism among others. it will continue during the agreement's second year to convene and discuss additional chapters and sector discussions in areas like agriculture, financial services, small and medium enterprises and the degeneratival economy. in doing so, we hope to provide the three governments with actionable recommendations to support rapid resolution of problems and agile responses to opportunities to, again, enhance the economy of no one of us, but all three of us and, in fact, the entire hemisphere. so enough from me. let's get on to today's important discussion. i am delighted to have the honor to moderate a virtual fireside chat with north america's tra

america, all three countries in north america, to emerge and move forward as an even more powerful trading block in the world. much of the trade relies on infrastructure, and derail the infrastructure is a critical part of the backbone of treat across the continent the, and the combination of canadian national and the kansas city southern will create, as i said earlier, on an matched first ever truly north american rail network. we think it is going to be not only a participant, but a driver of investment across north america, the improving supply chain, improved performance and resiliency of supply chains. the presence of usmca is a significant factor in creating this environment. trade certainty between the three countries in north america as well as other factors. supply chain leaders around the world are looking to de-risk, shrink global supply chains, improve predictability, resilience of supply chains, and we have a fantastic opportunity with usmca in place and forums like this where we have open discussion between the leaders of all three countries to focus on issues and align play

our crucial supply chains can be anchored in north america. running through our trading partners, foremost with canada and mexico. i also think, as was mentioned by our trade leaders, the passage of usmca, and i credit my counter part, chairman rich neil for terrific work and leadership here in the house but it laid the foundation for future bipartisan trade legislation. we are, in some ways, already building on this blueprint but i hope we do more. and i know our counterparts in canada are doing the same throughout the world. i will tell you, i am confident of ambassador tai, who is a skilled and strong negotiator, will work with lawmakers in congress to advance our leadership in trade. she knows what it takes, bipartisanship, intense consultation and transparency. and after the historic bipartisan support, mark, frankly one i didn't think i'd live to see in trade, and i am very -- was very encouraged by this. i just am convinced we can work together to do more. and this will help us exit the pandemic crisis frankly stronger than we entered i

americans and canadians work together in defense of north america, through the north american aerospace defense command, known to all of us as norad. after more than 60 years, norad remains the world's only by national military command, and we are also two of the original nato allies, and our participation in the alliance demonstrates the transatlantic bond. we cannot afford to remain complacent. selective security -- collective security is a shared responsibility, and we must -- in line with commitments with that we have made to nato, the defense investment pledge. similarly, norad forms a critical piece of our continental defense and must be modernized to involve a global security challenge. since we were to reboot our economy, the defense spending offers an opportunity to invigorate key innovation sectors, but norad modernization tends to benefit for instance from canada's exceptional artificial intelligence and machine learning sectors, as well as the technological agility of u.s. and canadian businesses, including those small and medium businesses i mentioned earlier. at the same t

emissions are having consequences now, which brings us right back to the heat waves in north america, and why they matter so much. because the individual experiences of those caught up in this make real the dangers of changing our climate. they make real why cop26 is receiving so much attention and offer another reason why, just a few months ago, david attenborough made this demand of the world's leaders. never before has it been so important that there a level playing field, a debate where we can come to an agreement. because unless we all agree, we are lost. the big story was in northern ireland, where you can see it was beach weather in county down and temperatures at the beach got all the way up to 31.2 degrees, and that is northern ireland's highest temperature on record. plenty of other places not too far behind, but in shetland, it only got up to 13 degrees this afternoon, a lot of cloud around. you can see this on the satellite picture and a lot of cloud generally across scotland. the odd spot of rain and wind and elsewhere it was sunshine all the way. through this evening and

this all comes just weeks after another dangerous heat wave hit north america, and which hundreds of sudden death recorded. many of them suspected of being heat related and next year brian, for me this is the largest wild fire of the year in california, burning along the border with nevada. a combination of 2 fires, sparked by lightning, doubled in size between friday and saturday, fires rolling down here. it's one of several fires, straightening homes across the wasted united states, blamed on so called heat dome, pockets of high pressure which push warm air down, forcing temperatures up this job. those are the effects of climate change. here it's real human induced impacts. acute impacts are happening decades before even the scientists are predicted with scorching temperatures across 10 states. 30000000 americans are facing extreme heat. this wildfire and oregon doubled in size on saturday, pushed by strong winds. officials with cold, ablaze, unpredictable and erratic. some areas have been evacuated or others have been told to pack up and be ready to leave at any moment. the heat a

and it can be done very quickly to to another location. >> is not happening in north america. i'm sorry that the long answer to your question. >> . >> that you play devils advocate this is not the perceived viewpoint and it was just missed understood by the commanders because the plan of 1777 was the same plan from 1776 and then to link up with how in albany as hard to believe when his deputy is fresh from talks he begged him to go north and not to philadelphia but he spoke as if he needed the help so my question is where that have changed the outcome? and if this is so important than even if the two armies had met with are the lines between new york and canada?e' >> there's a lot in those questions. >> i will take the last one first. why didn't they just sail around? when we submit to a detailed plan to the king i cannot remember the exact date that febres 1777 that rights along the mouth for conducting war on the side of canada. and about 95 percent how he conducts the invasion from canada. >> three lines of thates talk about oh another thing we can do is sail around and rei

scott: i think the pricing power is going to return first in north america. that is consistent with what we heard out of halliburton. halliburton still gets less than 50% of the revenue from north america, but they get most of the big three or big four, including weatherford. so assuming that is the case and that is where we expect to see the pricing power return first, i would expect halliburton to see improvement in that area before any of their peers do. alix: more consolidation in the space. lots of consolidation within the actual producer space. scott: you know, we haven't seen anything like we have seen in e&p, but we did see patterson by pioneer a of weeks ago. that is a land driller deal. we could see some combinations with some of the competitors emerging from bankruptcy. you could see some opportunistic fields potentially in large cap oilfield services, but the thing to bear in mind is that these companies still have a lot of leverage relative to where they would like to be. however it is close to three times. they indicated today on the call that t

the bbc�*s north america business correspondent michelle fleury in new york has the details. the world was shocked when bill and melinda gates announced their divorce in may but relieved when the pair said they would continue to work together on their charitable foundation. however, splitting up foundation. however, splitting up is often a messy business, and now the pair who often referred to the gates foundation is therefore the child has said they have reached a custody arrangement of sorts. melinda is now being given the option to resign from her position as co—chair and trustee if the pair is unable to work together after two years of. in such a case she would receive personal resources from her ex—husband for her own charity work. but make no mistake, she made it clear in a statement that for now, she is not going anywhere. she wrote i believe deeply in the foundation's mission, and remain fully committed as co—chair to its work. to support this contingency plan, the foundation said it would recruit new trustees to oversee its work. the high profile couple also an

the scientists say the recent hate wave wage set records across north america would have been almost impossible without climate change. parts of canada rates, nearly 50 degrees celsius and high temperatures, have led to hundreds of deaths. europe 2 is experiencing one of the hardest summons on record climate research and say it's assigned. global warming may have passed a critical tipping point. living near an outdoor swimming pool during a heat wave is a fortunate thing. the temperature stored so high in alberta, canada that can be melted. it's random events. it's very seldom un servatius. you don't see this or the last 100 or maybe 150 years and there's no tell your plan at the evidence from from tree rings from other archives that supports the next few in the past such, he may be a freak event, but what role does human activities on earth play in climate change. so the human activities with release of greenhouse gas feel to me, thing and so on, are leading to increase of these greenhouse gases. and we'll see here. and they also prevent the heat from, from the earth, leaving the at

we are really a little bit behind in north america, but north america will benefit from all of that work that has gone before in the first and second wave. adoption will be faster, easier, and more cost on that third wave. for the tipping point, we have to get the total cost of ownership on zero emission vehicles to be in the same ballpark as the total cost of ownership as diesel vehicles. that is hyzon's focus. we believe that within two years we will have more than one location in the world where we have total cost of ownership for hydrogen powered fleets, at or below diesel fleet ownership, in the same location. alix: on an upfront cost basis it will always be more expensive, but based on usage it is cheaper, is that fair to say? >> that is reasonable to say. right now it is hard to match capital costs of an industry that has been there for decades, has all kinds of cost improvements and optimizations. the cost structures on the capital side -- the capital premium is coming down, so it is getting easier and easier to match total cost of ownership through the savings on the driven mile
