Ah, she's brilliant. Miss, I finally got plans out the group chat. We get it. Four votes for a festival,

three for a city break. It's hard to adhere to everyone's needs. There's Betty with her oversized

tent. Sarah and her six foot eight boyfriend.

All right.

Roger Junior and his dog, Roger Senior.

And don't get us started on Mel.

But, like a marriage counselor, she's the one keeping things together.

All aboard Miss I finally got plans out the group chat. Keep everyone's plans alive when you

travel with us. P, and O'Ferees, there is another way. This is a CBS I and the world. I'm John Bachelor with my colleague and friend Gordon Chang at Gordon G. Chang.

Looking at the reports of the third plenum.

This happens only every five years and it's a measure of the economy and what is to be done.

I come to the headlines in London Financial Times.

China cuts interest rates in bid to prop up lagging economic growth subhead.

Reductions come in wake of Communist Party's third plenum, but impact likely to be

moderate, warned analysts.

Gordon, the third plenum, it had great ambitions to solve what appears to be a cliff that

they're either plunging over or about to plunge over. Do interest rates answer the

third plenem's ambition good evening to you good

evening John and I think the answer is probably not as much as people expect you

know in our economy if the Fed lowers interest rates, you know, people will go out and borrow because there's a reason to invest.

In China right now, there is such gloom and pessimism that even a lowering of interest rates is not going to convince

companies to go out and invest for a future that looks pretty bleak.
