the u.s. midterm elections on tuesday are being seen as a crucial test of president donald trump's presidency both trump and his predecessor barack obama on the campaign trail running voters in very risky states well on sunday a bomb addressed an event in gary indiana where the democratic senator is in a tight race with the republican candidate the democrats hope to take control of the house of representatives. in today's indiana you get to vote in what i believe will be the most important. election. of our lifetimes. and all politicians always say that but this time is really true . because america is at a crossroads. that health care of millions is on the ballot. a fair shake for working families. is on the phone. perhaps most importantly the character of our country. what a record number of women candidates are running with some predicting a high female voter turnout could be decisive many a galvanized by the president's sexist comments his administration's attempts to curb abortion rights

the u.s. is very concerned about iran's non-nuclear ballistic missile testing and doesn't like that so those sanctions are going in this direction that's what the u.s. wants to reset how is around planning to get around as it says the sanctions well to run will just return to its old playbook of circumventing sanctions and they've actually had a lot of practice with that because sanctions have been in place for quite a number of years over the past decades. and they're pretty good at. avoiding those things sions that involves bank accounts and third countries or relabeling goods they want to transfer into the country they've done that a lot back with the two thousand and twelve sanctions and some people got very rich doing that because they often ways around those sanctions and then when necessary so they made a lot of money the problem is that was rich people people were rich already well powerful and ordinary iranians don't see any of that their life gets harder and the people who are alread

but u.s. senators saygnmerica cannote murder. >> when we do not send a message to a country like saudi arabia, we tell an ally you can kill with impunity simply because you have some other interest with us, then we sent a global message that is frightening and one that does not serve u.s. national interests and national security. tolaura: after hearing frop trump officials today, senators asked why they were not allowed to hr from c.i.a. director gina haspel themselves. she heard the tape of the khashoggi killing. sen. graham: i'm not ing to be denied the ability to be debriefed bthe cia that we have oversight of i believe this cannot have happened without mbs. laura: senators asking hard questions about u.s. military support for the saudi support for the coalition carrying outtr aiikes in yemen. the administration says withdrawing the backing would embolden iran. iobservers of the u.s.-sa relationship say the administration could use leverage over crown prince salman to stabilize the alliance

from the u.s. institute of peace, this runs an hour and a half. . >>> i think we still have a few more people coming in. but we're going to go ahead and get going. when we do something jointly with the military, we try to be punctual. so with that, i'd like to welcome you all to u.s.ip. my name is andrew wilder. i'm the vice president here at u.s. usip was founded in 1984 by congress as an independent national institute dedicated to the proposition that peace is possible. it's practical and essential for u.s. and global stability. we pursue our vision of a world without conflict by working on the ground with local partners to help prevent, mitigate, and resolve violent conflict. usip has been working in afghanistan since 2002. we have an office in kabul that's running a range of programs. we also support policy relevant research and hold both off the record events but also on the record events like the one we have today to inform policymakers and practitioners and the public about the situation in

in the u.s. let's they in fixed-income? >> fixed income i still think we will see real rates continuing higher. that is really been the big call. the one thing i have been thinking all year is that because of the fed determination to cool down the u.s. economy, equity of seeing -- multiple if we see at the end of each cycle we will see a real .ate melt up i would continue to recommend selling spikes in equities and continue to look for real yield higher. that will be a problem still for emerging markets. specifically with trump calling a truce of the president of china on the 29th of november. guy: there is an argument going around that says breakevens are coming down. there is no inflation in the u.s. system despite what we saw with wage data. as a result of which if you look at breakevens you should believe the fed has over tightened already and should start to slow down next year. if i take a look at the two-year 2.3% i have inflation at which is where you would expect it to be. where do you f

take on the positive side between iran and the u.s. they choose the u.s. but there are smaller companies so i think we have to accept that this will have an impact on limiting iranian crude or exports this time but not as it was last time particularly because of the reasons that you've mentioned to you i don't experience the various ways and mechanisms this say is would not be a two million barrel but the super tanker five hundred thousand tons moving purchased by shale david to destry find that of that unfortunately cannot be done but the smaller believe there is here and there i think it can be done but the volume may not be as as a huge and so i am optimistic but we have to be also realistic that it may not be as successful as people want us to talk and it's very good to get your expertise on this that is talking joining us live from london thank you. moving on to our other big story of the day and turkish media have been reporting more details on the saudi hit squad that murdered journalist jamal khashoggi last month the sun newspaper says his body was

and the u.s. remain of course best of allies friends timmermans who has just announced himself as a candidate for the european commission president says that this means american voters have rejected you know hateful language and trump politics and we in europe will do the same he says but in the end there could be gridlock there could be not enough new democratic members of the house of representatives to really change policy but i think that at least the success on the house side gives europe a chance to believe that there will be a difference at least in language at least in rhetoric perhaps in tone ok so perhaps some a bit more of a wait and see approach there in brussels but you know when you're gauging the mood there terry and i know that you're really you're trapped in there in brussels how high would you say are the hopes are you witnessing any that the democrats in the house could indeed help improve trans-atlantic chars. certainly i do hear a tone of hope here this morning everybody is a

on the u.s. is where maintaining relationships in these key complex implementations in jcpoa and a ram publication of the sanctions several days ago and how this is having an impact on diplomatic relations with the u.s.. i'd like to start with david hail talking about the u.s. goals in syria. one of the ones we have been hearing more and more from the administration is the school of pushing iran and its proxy out of syria. if we start there i'd like to go in a broad sense what do you eat just see as iran's goal in syria and the u.s. ability to counter that goal? i guess we will start with ken. >> thank you very much courtney and thank all of you. it's good to be on this panel with some very old friends. briefly i want to talk about a lot of issues. i think iran's goals in syria are to maintain the assad regime and power and its own position in syria. i think that's a new goal. going into this they are much more concerned about the assad regime and the alawites. it's because of the position they h
