10:00 pm
hello and welcome to our viewers in the united states and around the world. i'm max foster outside the british parliament in london where it's just turned 6:00 on tuesday morning. >> and i'm amara walker in los angeles where it is now 10:00 on monday night and this is "cnn newsroom." the british prime minister david cameron is hez heading to brussels from here today for his first meeting with eu leaders since the brexit vote. but scammen ron says he won't
10:01 pm
initiate the formal process of leaving the block. he's leaving that task for the next prime minister. jeremy corbin, a labor party leader was once seen as a possible candidate for that job, but his opposition party is falling apart at the seams. 19 members of corbin's shattered cabinet have resigned, all questioning his leadership. this disastrous fallout in the world market continues to spiral downwards, as well. ratings agent standard & poors downgraded the uk's credit rating by two notches monday. the eu leaders are converging on brussels in just a few hours. our international diplomatic editor nic robertson is following the action there. you kind of wonder what the point is of david cameron having a meeting when he's now effectively a lame duck. >> i think there's an element of that about it, max. but i think maybe if we look at
10:02 pm
this strategically, and, of course, politics, so much has happened in terms of politics in the last week, but there's so much more of a playout in the coming months ahead. and is one of the things david cameron will be doing when he gets here this had afternoon, is back to all eu leaders why he thinks the vote went the way it did in britain and part of that is going to em bold concerns about immigration, part of it is going to involve, you know, concerns about, you know, globalization. part of it is going to talk about, you know, a gap, if you will, between politicians and the is people. and these will all be sort of, if you like, warning messages of a sort. we've heard this echoed around europe already that lessons need to be learned from what's happened in britain. so in a way, the stage for what will come next when the next british prime minister triggers article 50 to begin britain's
10:03 pm
leaving of the european union, so how he sets the stage of the mood in britain is what that could mean for other european politicians could ultimately serve the down the road play into that. but, of course, we do know what the european leaders are saying is you do not get to begin to negotiate any of the terms of the withdraw byliterally, that sort of thing, until you actually trigger article 50. so you can't say, for example, of a way to cut slightly better deals on immigration and control our boarders in a different way. none of that is an option. it's all or nothing. you get to do it when article 50 is triggered. >> it's absolutely no rush to start article 50. i was speaking to some of the lead campaigners saying they're never going to invoke article 50. they're going to start dealing with their own laws here at parliament. if that's the case --
10:04 pm
>> it's a huge amount of tension. one senior european union official with a demand of experience. back in the olden days, if you will, leading to a declaration of war. perhaps it isn't going to go through this had in good faith and it has this mandate through its people, but it may not decide to negotiate probably -- there's a history here and certainly there will be people sitting around the table with tam david cameron today who will think back to recent negotiations with britain. and britain hasn't sort of come to the table and acted in best faith. britain was never really this fully paid up member of the european union, not a member of the euro, keeping an account of
10:05 pm
sterling and is also, as well, not part of this free border movement. so there are all those misgivings. so one of the things the european leaders will look for from david cameron is to get those kind of a -- isn't going to let them slide and some, you know, in some way that is this incompatible with how a country is allowed to exit the european union. and one of the underlying reasons for that, of course, and everything that we're hearing from european leaders is their concern that what britain does now potentially could bring about a contagion where you would get other exit votes, calls for referendum and other european countries. they don't want the fabric of the european union that has been so hard to stitch together over the years, they don't want it unraveling what david cameron is going to say in the future you may need to weave that clothe slidely differently.
10:06 pm
listen to what my people have said and you'll hear similar things from the people in had your countries, auty scountries. max. >> in brussels, thank you very much, nic, indeed. that has to be one of the most awkward summits we've had in recent years. asian markets are nearing the end of their trading day. as you see in hong kong and yesterday, the pound fell severely here. the market here were in a terrible state or the tension behind the scenes was because the credit rating in the uk has tallen. but what real impact is that having in the wider markets? >> well, it's still rippling out, max, tefks. but here in asia, those effects are quite muted. we saw it yesterday, as well. not big swings that we saw in the european markets, the uk markets and the u.s. markets. take a look at the numbers here. you'll see, you know, it's basically fairley directional for the moment. hong kong is down just a little bit more. and you'll see the nikkei is still up. that's because the currency, the japanese yen is holding level,
10:07 pm
it's not strengthening any further. so, really, this story is very much, max, a developed economy versus emerging markets, if you like. $3 trillion has been wiped off the value of stocks worldwide since brexit up until the beginning of trade in asia this morning. of that $3 trillion, $2.7 trillion have come from the developed markets. the emerging markets have lost about $179 billion. so relatively speaking, the emerging markets at this stage, at least, have born less of the impact than the developed economies. >> and let me ask you, just about the relationship that china has with the uk. because i remember when xi jinping came over and there was a huge -- about his state visit and this is meant to be the dawn of a new era between china he na
10:08 pm
and the uk. he clearly stated that britain was attractive because it was a gateway to the european union. so the chinese have now lost that link. does that mean that this new relationship just isn't going to happen? >> well, it looks that way, you'd have to say. i mean, the people would be speaking to and the reports that have been coming out of china is that the chinese companies are taking a very, very long hard look now at what the value of continuing to invest in britain is at the moment given that they are going to lose that access to a market which is about 450 million cob assumers. that is a massive market to be shut out of. and you're right, david cameron clearly talked about a golden era. xi jinping got literally the royal treatment when he was in uk last year. that a clear strategically that china had is very important to the british economy.
10:09 pm
you'll remember britain is one of the first signatories to -- asia why is a investment bank against washington's wishes. brittant wanted to get very close to china. china likes that idea because it gave them a political ally. the top table in europe and the gave them a springboard into euro europe. and if you look towards direct investment, for example, the last 15 or so years, foreign direct investment to china has been double that of any other european country. that now is all on hold, obviously, while the brexit unravels while we still wait to see what the new britain is going to look like and what its relationship is going to be with europe. and china, quite understandably, is saying let's wait and see, too. we're not going to be rushing it any further and they're going to be looking for if britain does leave and does cut its ties, they're going to be looking for
10:10 pm
new in roads into europe proper. and bypass britain. that's the fear of the brits and that's a reality for china. >> okay. and b rue, thank you. nicholas now is in san francisco. a professor tu university s stern school of business. that says so much about the uk economy because future investments are being canceled as we speak. you can't value that, of course. but that's going to be probably one of the biggest losses here economically speaking. >> well, they're going to be immediate large losses, especially during this process with britain has not yet invoked article 50. but even if it does that for the next two years, when the negotiations is happening, there is going to be significant uncertainty and many people would say let's wait and see how this works out before we invest in britain.
10:11 pm
so that's one type of loss. but then there are other types of loss, as withel.. there will be tariffs and customs and both exporters from britain are going to have difficulties and they're going to maybe have some of their markets foreclosed and imports in britain are going to become more expensive. so the local consumers are going to suffer. so these are significant issues that were anticipated before the vote, but somehow the voters did not take fully into account. >> one of the issues, argue abl throughout the referendum campaign was immigration and the people of britain -- everyone b is very aware that britain needs to be part of that common market
10:12 pm
in europe. but it's looking increasingly unlikely that you can compromise the two because the europeans aren't going to give britain that free market without the free movement of peel. we learned that from norway. that's the deal they ended up with. but there are people here arguing that britain could negotiate a better deal than norway. do you think that's realistic? >> max, you're right. this is going to be a sticky point. i think it's very unrealistic to think that britain can get all the benefits of the market without adhering to the immigration policy of the common market. remember, these are legal immigrants. these are people from parts of the european union, for example, from poland who come and work in the united states -- i'm sorry, in the united kingdom. they pay taxes. they are not people who jumped off the boat like the people who -- the refugees or the immigrants who come to greece
10:13 pm
and through greece to other countries. this is not the case at all. so it's a -- it's a cornerstone of the european union that there is free movement of labor, that there is the free movement of individuals. i don't see any way that britain can get around it. if they try to do it without invoking article 50, i think that's going to be a real problem, a real fight. i don't really know how this is going to work out. it's hard to see a solution. the to satisfy those pore brexit for immigration reasons. >> nicholas, thank you very much, indeed. amara, that is the context of london. and i think he put it very well, we don't know how it's going to
10:14 pm
work out, but we're trying to work it out for you. >> no one knows just yet. we're going to to take a short break. from here, when "cnn newsroom" returns, stepped down lately? we'll tell you about with another resignation, but this one has nothing to do with that. but hillary clinton campaigns with the potential running mate with some harsh words for donald trump. >> what kind of a man roots for people to lose their jobs, to lose their homes, to lose tir life savings? i'll tell you what kind of a man. a small, insecure, money grubber who fights for no one but himself. sfoo with my moderate to severe ulcerative colitis, the possibility of a flare was almost always on my mind. thinking about what to avoid, where to go... and how to deal with my uc. to me, that was normal. until i talked to my doctor.
10:15 pm
she told me that humira helps people like me get uc under control and keep it under control when certain medications haven't worked well enough. humira can lower your ability to fight infections, including tuberculosis. serious, sometimes fatal infections and cancers, including lymphoma, have happened; as have blood, liver, and nervous system problems, serious allergic reactions, and new or worsening heart failure. before treatment, get tested for tb. tell your doctor if you've been to areas where certain fungal infections are common, and if you've had tb, hepatitis b, are prone to infections, or have flu-like symptoms or sores. don't start humira if you have an infection. raise your expectations. ask your gastroenterologist about humira. with humira, control is possible. just wanna see if my scoreredit changed. why would our scores have changed? we haven't changed that much...no, we haven't. maybe our scores have changed.

10:17 pm
10:18 pm
. welcome back, everyone. you are watching "cnn newsroom." i'm amara walker in los angeles. >> i'm max foster outside london. the disarray outside london's leadership now spreading to its football team. england's football manager, roy hodgeson stepped down on monday after his squad was upset by
10:19 pm
iceland at euro 2016 playing in its first major international tournament. iceland came from behind to defeat england, 2-1. it's being called one of the most stunning upsets in the tournament's history. iceland takes on host nation france next. there are 16 million people in this country. there are 350,000 in iceland. what an incredible story. u.s. senator elizabeth warrenen has made her campaign debut with tpresumptive democratic nominee hillary clinton. warren was fueling speculation that she could be on clinton's short list of potential vice presidents. jeff has the very latest. ♪ this is my fight song >> hillary clinton and elizabeth warren on the same stage and the
10:20 pm
same side. warren withheld her endorsement for more than a year. so they lingered today for nearly two minutes. soaking up the adoration of democrats in cincinnati. >> i'm here today because i'm with her. >> and then she got down to business. >> she knows what it takes to beat a thin-skinned bully who is driven by greed and hate. >> for weeks, warren has been needling trump, which clinton has enjoyed from afar. she beamed today at close range. >> i must say, i do just love to see how she gets under donald trump thin skin. >> and trump just may have been watching, sending this tweet. war b came armed with a
10:21 pm
response. >> donald trump says he'll make america great again. it's right there. no, it's stamped on the front of his goofy hat. you want to see goofy? look at him in that hat. >> the warren/clinton show, part pep rally, part audition made clear the hatchet is buried between the two democrats, at least publicly. >> you just saw -- you just saw why she is considered to terrific, to for mid hadble because she tells it like it is. >> on stage today, warren said clinton won't back down. . >> she gets up and keeps right on fighting for the people who need her most. >> but she suggested in interviews and her 2004 book that clinton caved on a bankruptcy bill in the senate, writing, it seems that hillary clinton couldn't afford such a principled position. >> she has taken money from the groups and more to the oint, she
10:22 pm
worries about them as a constituency. >> those concerns went unspoken today with one hug after another. but if clinton would tap warren as her running mate, they would continue. for now, they share a common objective, stopping donald trump. >> donald trump proves every day he's not in it for the american people, he's in it for himself. .elizabeth reminds us of that every chance she gets? >> and clinton sounded a pop ewe lit tone. >> i got into this race because i wanted to even the odds for people who have the odds stacked against them. and this is not a time for half measures. we've got to go about big and we've got to go bold. >> the scorn for donald trump was sharp and sustained. it's one thing that joins hillary clinton and elizabeth warren, but it's important to note elizabeth warren, is not the only democrat being trd. tim kane, sfeert from virginia,
10:23 pm
also in the hunt as are other democrats. but we're about one month away from when hillary clinton decides who her running mate will be. jeff zeleny, cnn, cincinnati. >> dave jacobson joining us and republican consultant john thomas. both in polka dot ties and they say it was just a coincidence. >> i swear. >> so let's start with you, dave. what impact do you think senator warren's campaigning for clinton is going to have on clinton's campaign? is it going to broaden her support? >> i think so. look, had elizabeth warren not been so much of an overt attack dog over the last two months of the campaign, i don't know that she would be standsing on stage with hillary clinton at this point being perceived as the top contenders. i think this was sort of an audition for her to sort of give folks a claims of how the two with would sort of perform togeth together, going up against donald trump. and i think, you know, the
10:24 pm
perception, the optics at least among folks is the two women look very strong together. but the question is whether or not hillary clinton, these are the vp pick like elizabeth warren or is she going to go with a tim kane, the senator from virginia? >> other than auditioning as a body double, i don't see what elizabeth warren brings to the ticket, honestly. >> but the fact is, hillary clinton's issue is not with women. it is with white men and, quite frankly, being authentic. and no matter what elizabeth warren says about did the downtown or how hillary clinton fights for people, the far left base doesn't think hillary clinton is an you a they wantic liberal. and no matter what, elizabeth warren is not going to change that. other than making a good news cycle, i don't think it does a lot for her. >> i think it helps her on the wall street narrative and it will blunt donald trump's attempt to be too cozy for wall street. >> until we shift to next week
10:25 pm
where are about why she won't rewlees her wall street speeches. >> there's a lot of criticism being faced to donald trump about how he reacted to the brexit vote in scotland. >> and the thing is, later that day, he found a way to make this whole thing about himself tweeting, many people are equating brexit and what is going on in great britain with what is happening in the u.s. people want their country back. and you might think, that is not going to happen to us in america. we're not going to listen to some ridiculously haired buffoon pedalling lies and nativism in the hopes of a rise into power. let brettan tell you, it can happen and when it does, there are no [ bleep ] do-overs. >> put bluntly. john, you see parallels between the anger that we've seen in
10:26 pm
brexit that drove the results of the, yes, let's leave the eu and the political election as many cycle now with the fear mongering, the talk about immigration, etcetera. >> there's numerous parallels. the fact is, the uk wanted their country back. they felt like im dwrants were stealing their country, you hear nothing but the terror attacks that were happening. although i don't think they felt as the brexit was perfect, but i don't think anybody has thought donald trump was perfect. he's saying we can't continue with the status quo and we've got to do something. >> we should talk about hillary clinton because she brought this up today at a rainbow coalition luncheon. she basically admitted, yes, i know people have a problem with my credibility. let's first listen to what about said. >> and i personally know i have work to do on this front. a lot of people tell pollsters they don't trft me. i don't like hearing that, and
10:27 pm
i've thought a lot about what's behind it. you can't just talk someone into trusting you. you've got to earn it. >> dave, this is clinton's number one problem right now, don't you think? how is she going to change that? >> well, by doing precisely this and embracing the strategy. i think being overtly up front and candid about it and saying i'm not a natural born politician. i'm not like my husband or barack obama. this is difficult for me. i think there's a stark contrast between the trustworthiness of hillary clinton and the risky bet that is donald trump. i think as long as she's making that compelling contrast in that campaign, it's going to bode well for her. >> she has two challenges. one is voters don't trust her on economic issues and jobs. two, it's trust. i think she's a liar. they have since before the campaign began. the numbers haven't changed much. dave is right. she's hanging a lantern on the
10:28 pm
problem. >> just quickly because we have to go, i want you to touch on this quickly, john, about this new policy that's expected to be rolled out by trump's campaign. a new immigration policy so no more ban on muslims, but basically, anybody coming from countries who ban terrorists. trump has a consistency problem, does he not? >> absolutely. he's flip flapped all over. but he's never run on being the principled crusader. look, on many issues, he's going to go right to the center. >> john, thank you. we're going to take a break. we'll take you back to london for the latest on the brexit fallout. plus, people who voted for the uk to leave the eu now saying they feel betrayed. plus, forget the elevator. a new ride is offering soaring views from los angeles from atop a landmark skyscraper.
10:29 pm
10:30 pm

[dings bell] just like here. anybody got a pack... that needs leadin'? serving all your motorcycle insurance needs. now, that's progressive.
10:31 pm
10:32 pm
hello, everyone. i'm amara walker in los angeles. >> i'm max foster outside parliament. the uk voted for the uk to leave the eu. many were swayed by promises made by lead campaigners, of course. that immigration would be reduced and they pledged more money to health care. the but as becky reports, some
10:33 pm
of the lead campaigners -- >> the total number of votes cast in favor of leave was 28,000. >> just days after britain's dramatic vote to leave the european union, key pledges for the leave campaign are already being broke.. promise number one, lead campaign said the eu cost britain 350 million pounds a week. money some said would be plow back into the national health service. the uk independence party leader nigel ferage says he never made that promise and insisted the leave campaign should not have made that pledge in the first place. now the vote is over, leave campaigner john redwood says it wasn't that simple. >> that doesn't count the money you get back from the eu. >> we will get some of the money back to spend as we wish and other money we will choose to spend on exactly the things that the eu -- >> that's a very clear promise. >> promise number two, we'll
10:34 pm
take control of the boarders, leave campaigners said. many leave voters thought that meant bringing immigration down. but the day after the vote, leave campaigner daniel hammond refused to say. >> i have never, ever made any commitments on the numbers, ever. >> no free movement of -- >> what we said was we would take back control. >> promise number three, the economy will be fine. but the pound is significantly lower against the dollar. companies are putting investments on hold and growth forecasts for the british economy have been slashed. for the leave campaign, this is no surprise. they stressed the economy will be fine in the long run. cnn, london. >> we want to bring in dominic thomas. i'm going to ask you to assess our industry for a moment if i can. there's a lot of frustration
10:35 pm
that has to be said amongst the media that a lot of these -- what we see as back pedalling and the promises that were made during the campaign, but do you think we're just in a bubble here and this isn't really relevant to the wider public or do you think there is a legitimate narrative there? >> i think that what we're hearing, this backtracking, back pedalling is absolutely shocking. what it does is go about confirming the fact that the brexit campaign was a campaign run on fear, it's a campaign that manipulated the electorate, that tried to capitalize on the fears of migration, anger, to ex exploit people, to encourage them to vote for this particular policy. they didn't think about the consequences sufficiently and i think in terms of the broerd debate about migration, the idea of control, this is something that has been on the agenda for at least the last decade when president sarkozy was elected in 20307. one of his major campaign promises when he created a
10:36 pm
mystery of national identity and im gragdz. to later impose that policy as he took over for six months as the european union, the european assigned on migration. we've seen this go in a very fragment mattock direction in france and we saw it during the 2012 campaign when sarkozy was elected is a further rise of the popularity in france. and the campaign slogan, we are in our home. and it's this kind of sort of closed mindedness, this sort of capitalizing on notions of sovereignty, national identity and closing down of board erts and that made the brexit campaign so popular. >> and just laying here, though, because when the leave campaigners say they weren't
10:37 pm
specific about numbers and when they talked about 15 million pounds going into the nhs, that was a gross figure and they argue that they were never actually inaccurate, there's some truth to that, isn't there? it's that the public didn't scrutinize those figures closely enough themselves. >> i think the campaign for brexit was well aware of the particular emotional appeal that these kinds of figures and statistics would have on the electorate and the responsibility lies with them. one would argue that people voted for brexit based on a very specific claim, set of claims and promises that were made by the brexit camp. they won the vote. they are now faced with a party implosion and have to decide in which direction they're going to go. they need to appoint a new leader and that new leader would be foolish to not follow the ms pros that were made within those members of that party.
10:38 pm
now, of course, as we all know, david cameron, in making the initial promise that he would push for a referendum on the european union was also ckowto kowtowing to nigel, much in the way the -- have been increasingly mainstreaming the policies of the far right. we see this happening in many other european union countries. >> ahead, it's still pretty early in the morning. thank you very much, indeed, for that. when we return, a look at a city in new england, their reasons next on "cnn newsroom." "ow..."

10:41 pm
the eu has passed around the uk's future to the northern city of hull to find out why it's
10:42 pm
people voted to leave. >> europe is that way. as cross the north sea. every morning, there is disembarked cargo from the netherlands and belgium here on the banks of the river humbert in northern england. this them disbursed across to northern england. every evening, trucks loaded with product makes the return. it's why this had city, hull, is often called the gateway to europe. but that's a glamorous tielthsdz for a long neglected city. life in hull is hard for many. parts of this community are among the poorest and most deprived in the whole united kingdom. they showed recently they're among the most fed up with the european union. >> did you vote? >> yes. >> how did you vote? >> i he voted out. >> by a ratio of more than two to one, the people voted to exit the eu.
10:43 pm
>> why did you vote leave? >> we're just better -- told what we can do and what we can't do. >> it's something you hear a lot. they backed brexit because they feel they had nothing to do. >> nothing to lose? i don't think so. >> why do you feel that we? >> we haven't got nothing, anyway. they think not as -- your doctor is in there, you can never get in. >> another common view, the local result was punishment for the british politicians, especially the ruling conserve ifr party. >> we're sick and tired of not having our voice being said. >> for many, there is the sense things have changed too quickly andport worst because of immigration. >> a lot of people voted to leave. big numbers. why do you think that happened? >> the same reason i'm thinking.
10:44 pm
it's got around. were you surprised by the result? >> yeah, i was. >> angus covers politics for hull's local newspaper. he says recent european immigration has energized parts of the economy. his shop's opening on formerly abandon streets, but there are social strains, too. >> there has been a big inflection and it's caused a lot on of attention and it's d displaced a lot on people. people feeling unease. >> there is money coming into hull, public, private, and from the eu. this is a huge project. more than 300 million pounds by the german suspect seimens to build the plant for making the blades for offshore wind turbines. some here are predicting jobs and growth. but too many believe they've
10:45 pm
been left behind in the wake of economic change. they demand the eu flag and much of what it sands for must now be removed from this gateway to europe. phil black, cnn, hull, northern england. joining me now is andrew marovchek, director of printton's european union program. he joins us now from princeton, new jersey. good to have you on the program. thanks for your time. >> thanks for having me. >> we just saw there phil black's piece, that immigration was one of the main driving forts for the leave of vote. i know you were saying before the referendum there would be no brexit and even after the results came in to leave the eu, you're saying there's not going to away brexit. exchange yourself and do you think the results of this referendum can be ignored? >> absolutely. this has happened five times before. there have been five big initiatives in the eu history that have been rejected by
10:46 pm
voters in five different countries. each time, the government has resubmitted a similar initiative to the people or the parliament and each time it's been approved and each time there's been very little controversy and i expect exactly the same thing to happen in the case of brexit. >> okay. so then andrew, walk us through how you think things are going to play out from this moment on forward. so you're saying there's going to be renegotiating within the e eu, right? if so, how are these negotiations going take place? how will the euro skeptics be appeased? we know the uk enjoys a special status within the eu. >> it does. in fact, at the u has gotten much more british over the years which is one of the ironies of this. so the first thing that happens is that people wake up and realize the people who tried to convince them to vote no towards europe were telling them things that weren't true. and they look at the conclean
10:47 pm
consequences of voting know. we've seen that british bond ratings are going down, economic growth ratings are being slashed, that scotland is threatening to leave and so on. there are a lot of negative consequences. and voters start to reassess. what's more, politicians start to reae sess. you're seeing boris johnston, the leader of the leave campaign and the productiesumptive prime minister to lead after david cameron, that it is committed to keep defense cooperation, foreign policy cooperation, and most surprisingly yesterday that it is committed to keeping immigration both ways in and out of the european union. once you keep all that stuff, what's left to negotiate? >> it's interesting that you bring up boris johnston. he has made some pretty head scratching declaration in recent

days, including one where he says britain is a part of europe and always will be, even though he was one of the champions for the leave campaign. so what do you make of what boris johnson has been saying lately? u saying he is feeling this buyer's remorse, that he is waking up and starting to realize the magnitude of what it means to leave the european union? >> boris johnson is thrilled and here is why. boris johnson only cares about one thing. he wants to be prime minister. he has taken three or four different positions on europe over the last four months. he started off as a supporter of david cameron. he then supported renegotiationing and holding a second referendum. he then supported brexit. he could take any position that's consistent with becoming prime minister. >> lastly, do you think this is going to come down to possibly a second referendum? of course, a lot of people ask what will that accomplish? can you really do a do over just because you don't like the results of one election?

>> i think it's very likely to come down to a second referendum or else a particlelitiry vote or what happens a general election in britain that is fought on the issue of europe. and, remember, just three months ago, boris johnson's position was exactly that. that britain should renegotiate and hold a second referendum. that's a very realistic possibility. if that referendum is held, then europe will win. >> very, very interesting perspective. glad we got you on. andrew moravcsik, director of brinston's european union program. thank you for your time. >> thanks for having me. when we return, glass bottomed viewing decks and walkways are nothing new, but a glass slide suspended 70 stories up is giving people in los angeles a thrilling new way -- or maybe frightening new way -- to see the city. on.
