00:00:32,040 --> 00:00:35,520
Speaker 2: The risk I think is greater than a trailing risk.

10
00:00:36,280 --> 00:00:41,920
Speaker 2: I don't think it is inevitable or substantial at this

11
00:00:42,080 --> 00:00:44,920
Speaker 2: point though. But what the United States is going to

12
00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:47,920
Speaker 2: have to do is going to have to move past

13
00:00:48,520 --> 00:00:52,280
Speaker 2: kind of negative optioning things, by which I mean deciding

14
00:00:52,320 --> 00:00:56,640
Speaker 2: to take or not take certain actions, and deal a

15
00:00:56,680 --> 00:00:58,960

Speaker 4: commented in a Bloomberg interview, he's.

41
00:02:29,160 --> 00:02:33,120
Speaker 5: Pulling under fifty percent. That's a significant opportunity for someone

42
00:02:33,160 --> 00:02:35,880
Speaker 5: to challenge him right now. That person, at least in

43
00:02:35,919 --> 00:02:38,679
Speaker 5: New Hampshire, that is Nikki Haley. She has the endorsement

44
00:02:38,760 --> 00:02:41,600

00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:44,560

51
00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:03,080
Speaker 1: A dormant North Korean port near the border with Russia

52
00:03:03,160 --> 00:03:06,639

55
00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:18,200
Speaker 1: loaded and unloaded, and railcars ready to transport goods. The

56
00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:21,600

Speaker 1: Apple is appealing a ban on its smart watches. The

59
00:03:28,480 --> 00:03:31,720
Speaker 1: move comes after the White House declined to overturn an

60
00:03:31,760 --> 00:03:35,160
Speaker 1: earlier ruling. The ruling said that Apple violated two patents

61
00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:38,560
Speaker 1: by Massimo that were related to a blood oxygen sensor

62
00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:41,480
Speaker 1: in Apple watches. Bloomberg's Mark German has more.

63
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:44,240
Speaker 6: Apple's belief is they have a software update up its

64
00:03:44,240 --> 00:03:47,280
Speaker 6: sleeves that will bring the Apple Watch in compliance with

65
00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:49,520
Speaker 6: the ITC. And so what Apple has done is they

66
00:03:49,720 --> 00:03:53,440
Speaker 6: submitted detail of this software upgrade to the US Customs

67
00:03:53,480 --> 00:03:56,800
Speaker 6: Agency and on January twelve, the US Customs Agency will

68
00:03:56,800 --> 00:03:59,360
Speaker 6: make a decision whether or not to approve the refresh

69
00:03:59,440 --> 00:04:01,720
Speaker 6: the watch to make that FICKS. If they go ahead

70
00:04:01,720 --> 00:04:04,960
Speaker 6: and approve that and the ICC and other entities and

71
00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:07,480
Speaker 6: the US agree, the Apple Watch can come back to market.

72
00:04:07,960 --> 00:04:11,320
Speaker 1: Apple has stopped selling the watches in the United States.

73
