Speaker 6: non citizens, deserve due process.
Speaker 4: Do you agree, mister p I don't know. I'm not
Speaker 4: a lawyer. I don't know. Well, the Fifth Amendments, I

Speaker 1: import in terms of filmed entertainment.
Speaker 6: Britain's two billion dollar film industry supports one hundred and
Speaker 6: ninety five thousand jobs here, but it uses tax incentives
Speaker 6: to lure producers, which could be what Trump is objecting to.
Speaker 6: Dicky Parker, CBS News, London.
