10:03 pm
the devices were all mailed in padded envelopes with six stamps the bombs described as crude by experts at a wednesday rally in wisconsin trump blamed the media and said of sympathizing with those targeted. the media also has a responsibility to set a civil tongue and to stop the endless hostility and constant negative and oftentimes false attacks and stories have to do. that film a cia director john brennan to whom another bomb was sent set trumps rhetoric is to blame. unfortunately i think all trump too often has a pope to incite some of these feelings of. anger not violence but when he points to acts of violence or also talks about you know swinging at somebody from the press to the media. with the political climate charged ahead of midterm
10:04 pm
elections security services are racing to find the mailbomb. all right abby quite a son is in new york city and try becca she joins us from outside actor robert de niro's restaurant and as we heard that's where one of the latest devices was discovered abuja the investigation as the authorities just told us is still in its early stages do you know do we know any more about who may be behind these devices . in the early stages that's right lay a lot of the officials when they came out new york police commissioner actually the first thing that he said was new yorkers are safe and there is no credible information at this point that there are further packages that they know about so that's a major piece of information that's come through at this press conference at n.y.p.d. headquarters in terms of suspects they have not named anyone specifically or any
10:05 pm
group specifically in that press conference we do know they're looking for potentially one or more of these serial bombers there have been ten packages as you heard in that report that have been sent out none of them have been detonated but they are saying that there's no further credible source that information that would suggest that there are further packages out there but they're ask you to yorkers and americans to remain vigilant they're asking anyone with any information to report it to the authorities as soon as possible ala abbi what more do we know about the actual devices themselves. now according to the f.b.i. was regard to the devices they're saying they're all of a little slightly different but they're rudimentary in nature so they're not very sophisticated but they are functional so that they were meant to explode or detonate luckily though none of the ten did do that when they were either delivered or intercepted by the secret service or out of mail facility what we do know are the intended recipient some of them are democratic heavyweights like hillary
10:06 pm
clinton the obama joe biden earlier today there were two packages that were intercepted in delaware that were intended to reach him but that that it didn't make it through waters and also democratic representative had to sent towards her the common link here is these are people who have been critical of the president politicians that have been critical of the president i'm standing right now in front of iraq's rock hall owned by actor robert de niro he has also been critical of the president long before president trump took office and so there was a package that was delivered here earlier and the early this morning that package was picked up by the bomb squad and transported to the bronx it's now in the hands of the at the for investigation because a son that reporting from a new york thank you so much shopping. let's go now to do me a correspondent to safin simone's in the washington d.c. for an overview of where things stand now on a national level stuff on

10:08 pm
how is the white house reacted. well the white house has not reacted at all actually we have i think the verdict is out that everybody is pretty much fairly disappointed by president trump. he said yesterday what he had to say that some of the presidential was presidential but he kept it at a bare minimum went on to a campaign event and then started to blame the press again for the situation we're in right now i don't see that anybody of the commentators pundits or the political washington here is in a position to say that that's ok to the contrary the president is now in states now accused of having squandered another chance to actually take the lead to bring the political discourse to a better state year and the country together as he has asked for the country to do yesterday. all right stuff and see monsour reporting from washington d.c.

their new look leaders like newly sworn in president south they can lay the foundations for political reform and a brighter future. all right steve is here with the biz than a drill to wall street from tesla that's right little wall street doing very well today after stocks took a hammering yesterday positive earnings reports are driving the trading including from tesla which is back in the black for the first time in two years the production ramp up for its model three saw the u.s. electric car maker post a net profit of three hundred eleven million dollars in the last quarter calling shareholders nervous production of the model three had been delayed by technical and logistical problems while tesla has been marred by controversy involving c.e.o. a long musk. our financial correspondent court is joining us now with a view from wall street to tesla's numbers finally boost his long term outlook in the eyes of investors well it's probably too early to tell wall street
10:19 pm
to kind of knew what was coming already two days ago when. that the numbers will come out actually earlier than originally expected and to wall street was well aware that this can only mean that you know one must get some pretty good news for investors one reason why we saw the biggest profit so far in tesla's history might also have been that some payments to suppliers have been delayed if that really should be the case that could mean that their future profit could get distracted a bit but for now at least wall street was cheering the stock was up for a third consecutive day and just on thursday we saw the stock jumping by a good nine percent. now it was just one of several earnings reports that this sort of boosted the market today did these quarterly reports really have anything to do
10:20 pm
with the broader realities in the market reaction to them i'm sorry the market reaction to them not a little bit overblown focusing on the short term reports. well what we definitely see that we see huge reactions after those earnings reports that came before the downside like advanced micro devices for example the maker disappointed was numbers and the stock got hammered by fifteen percent on the other side twitter came in with better numbers than the stock jumped fifteen percent if you have swings like that you can tell that the market is still jumpy and nervous but what those earnings also often show and that's what investors really want to know how do terrorists impact their numbers how does the stronger dollar impact their numbers how do interest rates actually have an impact on that for example. what tariffs doing to go surname so there is a correlation between the earnings reports from current from corporate america and what is going on in the in the real and in the political world. so

businesses still the disrupters keep trying their luck. what the decree says is that over the next four years nothing can be done right helling services cannot be touched and therefore we have four years over which we can work peacefully in addition to the extension provided by the ministry of transport so it's good news because above all jobs are being protected. issuing new licenses will be left to local authorities who will ultimately be responsible for integrating internet platforms like over and into spain's economy. saudi arabia will become a new partner in the russia china investment fund the news came at the end of riyadh's investment conference which dozens of western business and political leaders boycotted after the killing of a saudi journalist riyadh is said to contribute half a billion dollars to the fund raising the total capital under management to two and a half billion dollars the russia china fund was founded six years ago and focuses on major infrastructure and tourism projects that connect the two countries. so
