geoff are we happy people in the streets there we want to just take a 2nd because he has addressed his supporters in istanbul let's listen to part of what he had to say in that victory speech. i am ready to work in harmony with you a president type everyone and i aspire to do that. i'm announcing that in front of all residents of istanbul. it is our strongest this is not a victory. this is a new beginning. i would like to say from here that as of tomorrow. i will treat the 16000000 people of istanbul equally as their mayor. are you only about you know in the center of that massive party we heard the mama live there saying he wants to work with president and to one but does the president want to work with him. but president ad wanna come graduated mistake the moment which was said he hopes that these results will be good for the country so let's hope for the movie not that but clearly and that's something i have to mention the ruling hake a party still holds the majority in the city council here in istanbul and they were one post on the journey of districts in the march elections so the

but the other two asks, geoff, are tougher. the white house wants mexico to support the policy of having migrants remain on the mexican side of the border while u.s. judges process their immigration cases. and then the other ask is that the white house wants mexico, asked it before and asking it again, to accept' designation as a safe third country. that means that migrants and asylum securities from central america would be required to stay in mexico. mexico would have to accept them. and instead of letting them pass through on to the united states. the mexico just this week called that a red line and we'll see if there is any movement there. >> and we've been reporting all week, since late last week about the pressure that outside groups and republicans are putting on the trump administration. how is that effecting these negotiations, if at all? >> reporter: well in the lead up to yesterday's much-heralded summit, both republicans and business groups had said we want to wait and see what the talks yield. if there could be a d

>> reporter: well, geoff, we're going to see here, all of the different heads of states are going to be here. there's going to be 300 actual veterans of the normandy battle. this is a poignant point because this will probably be the last time they will see a major commemoration of the d-day landing like this. but also, we're going to be seeing a gun salute from a british naval vessel off the coast here. and we're going to see a fly-by, probably self-dozen vintage aircraft dating back to the time of the d-day battle flying overhead. so the images are going to be very, very strong. a poignant message for those veterans. but also there's going to be some politics involved, geoff. remember, all of the leaders who are going to be here are going to be sending a message to this president who has so often doubted those alliances. and saying those aliliances are vital and just as vital now. >> matt bradley, thank you. >> joining us, eugene scott. eugene, thank you for joining us, preparing to remember dh day on the even of the 75th anniversary, president trump has been tweeting his difference

geoff's right. the idea is this up-front time is -- can and should be used very fruitfully with some of the technical work that needs to be done. the alternative, and i've personally had the opportunity, -- and prior to that at the federal level, to see projects nationwide. and if you don't get your act together up front, if this -- if the work that we describe is not done, the context is this project will is going to be looked at against other projects around the country, especially for federal funding. and it's not going to compete well. the reality is you have to do this work. you can do sequentially, you can front-load it and what we're actually suggesting is the front-load as much as possible. >> chair peskin: ignacios no, -- anything you want to add? mr. john fisher? >> thank you, mr. chairman. first, i'd like to clarify for the speaker who asked what procurement means. procurement means the contrast -- starting a process for contracting for the beginning of construction. so when we talk about

so what are you learning, geoff? >> reporter: anderson, good evening. i'm told the former vice-president does not want to spend the entire evening talking about his past record. so one of his advisors tells me when he is asked about that, of course he'll explain it and defend it. he wants to pivot forward. that is a word they keep using over and over, pivot forward and really make the case that he is trying to present a case for the future. that, of course, is one of the vice-president's biggest challenges here, to show that he is a candidate of the future. they are also, anderson, i'm told preparing a generational answer. of course, several of his rivals have already said, look, it's time for a new generation. it's time forays new generation of leaders. i'm told the former vice-president is going to say this. it takes all generations to come together for demps to win back the white house and repair the damage, in his view, that president trump has caused. so we'll see if he has anything a little more specific on that. but they are very focused on this

geoff? >> president trump is tweet being this. while he very much appreciate prime minister abe going to iran to meet with ayatollah khamenei, i personally feel that it is too soon to even think about making a deal. how does this complicates thence? >> reporter: firstly it allows the president to say i tried, but they don't want to talk to me. iran says come back to the nuclear deal, we'll talk to you then, but unless you do that, there's no way we're going to talk to you. i don't think there's any signs that president trump will remove invite sanctions, certainly doesn't look like he's going to return to the nuclear deal, so iran is in no mood to talk. in fact ayatollah khamenei, iran's supreme leader said donald trump wasn't even worthy of a response from him. it's making a gulf even wider between these two tuning making this region even more volume tiff. iran has now dug in. their entire approach seems to be to run the clock out on president trump and see what happens in 2020. before that, i don't think they have any intention

so i really appreciate geoff's candor about that. and we really are invested in comprehensively getting this right, amongst stakeholder agencies, with the public and the words that you've just heard "reposition, redefine" are really both a comment on phase 1 and a road map to our aspirations on phase 2 and this is not just a mega-project, it is a mega-regional project. so with that, john. right? you are john fisher, aren't you? >> i am. [laughter] >> thank you, mr. chairman. and commissioners, we concluded with our draft recommendations today. so really opportunity to take any of your questions. and certainly field them to any of our colleagues on the panel. so i know, folks, insofar as we're hearing this again on julr of speakers, if anybody has questions, have at it. you'll have another opportunity. the one thing that obviously you have not touched on is the big question. clearly what i heard you say is that this expert panel national, international experts is recommending a transitional phase. and then ultimately in a couple of ye

now let's get to cnbc's geoff cutmore. he is covering the forum in russia because that's where xi jingping, a man vladimir putin called his best friend this week, is set to speak. geoff? >> reporter: brian, this is all about the visuals. those important meetings between the two presidents which were essentially photo opportunities for the benefit of washington. just to remind the united states that china can sell its products elsewhere. and of course russia which is still on the sanctions naughty step wants to demonstrate they can also find other markets for their energy and other goods i guess the key point here is there was a deal announced on huawei the russians have said they are willing to look at putting in huawei systems to build their own 5g here in russia. again, you get the feeling that this is a message very much directed at the white house. so we are just a few hours away from president xi and putin taking the stage here and we are looking forward to hear whag the chinese president has to say on the trade story

. >> geoff was reading some of these polls. mrk stands on abortion rights as we are seeing a shift there. how could this potentially impact the 2020 presidential race? we've already seen it with a shift within joe biden's campaign. where else could we see shifts on this? >> i've actually been talking to various democratic and conservative groups, pro-choice and pro-life groups. this is going to be a huge base turnout ahead of 2020. pro-choice groups are really looking to target pro-choice voters, women in particular, with these increased restrictions that we're seeing in states such as alabama and missouri. on the pro-choice side we're seeing republicans tout president trump's appointments of various conservative judges and justices across the country to potentially poke holes in rulings like roe v. wade. from that poll i found a very interesting finding. it said 53% of americans were against essentially voting for a politician that would vote to poke holes or overturn roe v. wade. that could hurt raeepublicans i 2020. one grou

i'm yasmin vossoughian along size nbc news white house correspondent geoff bennett. it will be more than seven months before the first votes are counted in the 2020 nominating contest. but president trump is already focusing on opponent joe biden. while the former vice president is also centering his attention on the president. both were in iowa yesterday where biden delivered scathing remarks that stomped across the state as the president launched his own attack during an appearance in iowa. >> in 2020, we not only have reputed donald trump's policies and values, we have to clearly and fully reject for our own safety sake, his view of the presidency. quote, i have complete power. no, you don't, donald trump. quotes from donald trump, i have absolute power, no, you don't, donald trump. or, only i can fix it. fix yourself first, donald trump. >> politicians let other countries push us around, treat us badly, treat our country with no respect. and you see that with biden. we would never be treated with respect. because people don't respect him, even the people that he'

geoff barton from the association of school and college leaders is in our cambridge newsroom. good morning to you. good morning. as rachel was saying, this is not the first time this has happened. m ista kes the first time this has happened. mistakes do happen, but when they happen more than once you begin to wonder if there is a systemic problem. welcome i think you could argue that the systemic problem is the sheer scale of the examination system is country. if you have a child doing gcse‘s they might have finished doing 25 papers. as we had last year in the system, we have 1.3 million children sitting exams, each of them doing a gcse beyond 20 exams, the logistics of that are eye—watering was abutted to it, we don'tjust eye—watering was abutted to it, we don't just use eye—watering was abutted to it, we don'tjust use exams in this country tojudge the child, don'tjust use exams in this country to judge the child, they are used to judge the teacher, the head teacher, the school. so the accountability pressure put such a weight of responsibility onto people in schools

geoff? >> reporter: yeah. i think it's a fascinating story. i keep asking the questions, of course, because the people who will know the answers best are those business people who are at the epicenter of this current storm. that's why it was interesting talking to the chairman of dp world. they have just signed a deal here that gets them involved in the arctic business. that's an area of some international dispute, of cou e course, with many companies vying to be involved so let's have a listen to my conversation with the chairman of the company >> the road is going to be passing because next to their shore. the russians have what's going to maintain it year round. so it is nine months but three months need to use ice. we are a company in business our investment in any place -- so these political issues for us are insignificant. because when you look at the risk, the dispute, whatever you name it. if i look at it and divide it on 50 years, it's insignificant it might be important, concerning in a certain period but if i'm looking at 50 years,
