david: the philippines put in i believe five hikes this year. in terms of central banks you expect to join in hiking rates next year, i would imagine south korea might be a candidate. maybe thailand, new zealand. andrew: we think we will have broader but shallower tightening next year. i mentioned a couple places were quite significant shifts in policy in indonesia and the philippines. next year i think you will get a number of places which will nudge higher for a variety of reasons, in some cases because of financial imbalances. thailand has concerns among policymakers. those are some places we think we could see a touch higher rate but not the dramatic tightening we could see in indonesia and the philippines, which is partially brought about -- yvonne: do you think we have seen the bulk of indonesia's tightening? there are still some concerns about the inflation side of things, external funding. is that still more important than growth? andrew: we think the policymakers in indonesia are more concerned about the external, keeping the currency r

and in southeast asia, you're going to continue to see a lot, when president xi goes to the philippines for a state visit, there's a lot of expectations the philippines will sign the memorandum from understanding for the belt and road initiative with china. malaysia, of course, the new minister has expressed a lot of concerns and dropping deals with china. but even he doesn't want to walk away from the economic cooperations and investments from china would be a very isolating move i think. on, again thepile byline i think, there's one other point where i hear all of that but i think it would be a very serious blunder, but the good news is and to the inefficient credit, the works to push the congress build and the acronym for which i can't remember but it's basically the supercharged opec, which double the size of opec, and allows them to do more of the things that a japanese equivalent can do in terms of infrastructure and finance and i think that's a significant thing which will give the vice president some credibility as he's got an alternative here for belt and road and there's defin

. >> and sharon, you had mentioned that united had moved its call centers to the philippines. why did they do that in. >> yeah. years ago, we looked at the area that could be able to stand up operation and move as fast as we do. this is complex and you can imagine under the line systems that even the call centers have to have and so we looked at the philippines that it was the ripe opportunity with the skills and the outlet there that could adapt and every day we are continually changing and growing. innovation is key and core and the partnership with the affiliates in the philippines has been vital to thriving in those areas. >> congressman rooney, we hear a lot in the united states that we have long past the hour where you need a four-year degree, if not far beyond that and yet the trump administration is investing in apprenticeship. what do you think of the idea of bifurcating in that way. do we need both? can we do both, and how do you see this being adopted throughout the united states? >> well, i think the german models proved that around the world to be a very practical

i think about the violence in the philippines, right? that, again, had weighed on african-americans minds especially given the glee with which so many americans celebrated the acts of violence against the bodies of filipinos, and for african-americans that needed very little, if any, translation. and i'll end with this. i think a lot about germans framed their sense of -- their experience of violence after the war by pointing to and even before these black soldiers arrived, most of whom were attached to the french army, germans marshalled all the language that we knew to make it clear how black bodies were a danger of violence upon them. you may be familiar with all the talk of rape and alleged rape cases, but what the germans actually did first was to talk about how black people ate their bodies and how they collected their noses and their ears and precisely the things we see with lynching. so this violence and its use to either frame the war at the beginning or dismantle the fragile piece at the end of the war is what weighs on my mind
