8:08 pm
people and should get the death penalty family and friends of the eight victims have been holding vigils in their memory i want to go now to washington to our correspondent christian carson good evening to you could trump's death penalty remarks could they jeopardize this suspect getting a fair trial absolutely or at least that's what i would argue if i was the defense attorney for that suspect in that trial because donald trump is the had of the executive branch of government the same branch of government that is investigating and prosecuting the suspect of course the verdict will come from the branch in the courts but still how much of a fair trial can there be if everybody knows that the top executive wants them and that and even at one point called him an animal that is why a president's normally advised not to weigh in on criminal cases but of course
8:09 pm
from doesn't care much for this kind of at vyas which i guess is pots of his appeal to his supporters so he continues to throw red meat to his base and doesn't care much for conventions or legal standards all right we're going to go now to the white house i understand the u.s. president is now appearing and we want to listen in he is expected to nominate drone powell as the next chairman of the u.s. fed let's listen in. thank you jay is joined here by is wife lissa and his two sisters monica and elizabeth and i say congratulations to you all please take that back please you deserve it thank you very much for being here today is another important milestone on the path to restoring economic opportunity for the american people in just
8:10 pm
a short time we have already made incredible strides unemployment is at its lowest level in more than sixteen years you know that very well you know that very well you're happy about it we've now had back to back quarters of three percent growth a major accomplishment and we're doing better and better every single week but if we are to sustain all of this tremendous economic threat to our economy requires sound monetary policy and prudent oversight of our banking system that is why we need strong sound and steady leadership at the united states federal reserve i have nominated jade to be our next federal chairman and so important because he will provide exactly that type of leadership he's strong he's committed he's smart. we want to go now on to the floor of the new
8:11 pm
york stock exchange are you in court is standing by there yes good afternoon to you you heard the news just like we did the u.s. presidents nominating jerome call to be the next chairman of the u.s. federal reserve. give us the read on this decision what does it mean. well surprise surprise i mean people are really talking about your own poll for a couple of days now and you have to see who jerome paul is even is if he is a lawyer he worked on wall street for many years he was at the federal reserve as a governor for the past five years so he has experience but he also has close ties to wall street meaning if you look at regulation probably he might be a bit milder than janet yellen has been other than that you could say it's the most boring decision the u.s. president could make he stands for continuity so he will probably follow up where
8:12 pm
janet yellen is leaving the federal reserve and yet to me asking is this seen there on wall street is this seen as more of a political decision than an economic decision after all and as you said jerome powell is not seen as being that different from in a janet yellen in terms of policy. yeah well i mean donald trump said that he would like to leave his own mark and that's why he wants to bring a new fed chair and is not going to continue with janet yellen so far the new administration hasn't really achieved them that much when the time still takes reform to infrastructure spending or to a new health care reform but the u.s. president is very proud of how wall street is doing we're going from one record high to another and as i mentioned still your own paul's stands for continuity and that's what wall street actually likes and probably wanted to make sure that this
8:13 pm
continues and there's not all of a sudden a big surprise for wall street because wall street doesn't really like surprises at all yeah no surprises on wall street is a good day for wall street art yes quarter there the new york stock exchange and thank you very much and we go back now to washington d.c. here for responding christian phenomena on the political side of the white house and what has been going on there today u.s. attorney general jeff sessions he spoke earlier today about an aspect of this story concerning the suspect from this week's new york terrorist attack and sending islamist terrorists to the prison camp at guantanamo bay in cuba let's just have a listen to what the attorney general said terrorists should know this this administration will use all lawful tools at our disposal including prosecution in article three courts or at one time obey if anyone has any doubt about it they can ask the more than five hundred criminals in the department of justice has convicted
8:14 pm
terrorism related offenses since nine eleven and they can ask the dozens of the enemy combatants at guantanamo. all right that was u.s. attorney general there jeff sessions carson you know earlier u.s. president donald trump he appeared to roll back on his suggestion of sending that suspect mr sipe of to guantanamo now it seems that mr sessions is at least holding out the possibility that it may indeed happen what is going on here. the way i understood it mr sessions the attorney general was talking in more general terms about the fact that when it comes to prosecuting and trying terrorism suspects both the military legal system where the detention center and one tunnel and the civilian u.s. justice system pot all the mix one tunnel is mostly used for so-called foreign fighters where as american citizens have a right to be tried in a call it in
8:15 pm
a proper chords in the u.s. now the suspect tuesday's helloween attack is not a u.s. citizen but he is a legal resident so i think most legal experts agree that he probably should be tried in a court in new york and i think this is what. attorney general sessions said he also said he has full confidence in the civilian courts and he in this way contradicted in the way his boss thought that trump who had previously set a system was a joke carsten phenomena in washington thank you very much we'll be back at the top of the out. health. insurance to. solidarity. they fall by the wayside when the gap between rich and poor grows. much in the.
