which means the las vegas review journal joins the group of newspapers endorsing donald trump. maybe the waxahachie daily light will pass the coffee. ♪ with two weeks left in the race for the white house, all eyes or the polls. donald trump is hammering home the idea that he is winning, despite admitting to being somewhat behind in recent polling. plus with the clock ticking down, donald trump's running mate mike pence is reaching out to republicans wary about trump telling them it's time to come home. president obama heads to late-night tv to make a pitch for hillary clinton and mocks donald trump for his history of early morning twitter tirades. ♪

good morning. it is tuesday, october 25th. i'm betty nguyen alongside alex witt and louis burgdorf. two weeks left until election day. a new national poll shows donald trump outside the margin of error against hillary clinton. showing clinton at 49% in a four-way race. trump at 44%. gary johnson dropped 4 points to 3%. jill stein at 2 points. in a two-way race, clinton has a six-point at van, 51-45. monmouth university poll shows a deadlocked race in north carolina. trump 47%, trump 46%. in battleground nevada, 7 points separate the candidates in the "las vegas review journal poll," clinton at 48%, donald trump at 41%. donald trump tweeting, major stories that the dems are making up phony polls in order to suppress the trump vote. we are going to win.

then later talking to local radio in north carolina and on the campaign trail florida he contended the race is neck and neck. >> i think we're going to have a brexit situation. you know that one was behind in the polls and i guess i'm somewhat behind in the polls but not by much. i think we have a much greater -- a tremendous enthusiasm, much greater enthusiasm than she as. >> in case you haven't heard, the new poll from "investors business daily," the most accurate poll for the last three presidential elections by far, has us up 2 points nationwide, we're leading, number one. >> i actually think we're winning and what they do is they show these phoney polls where they look at democrats and it's heavily weighted with democrats. and then they'll put on a poll where we're not winning. and everybody says, oh, they're not winning. it's a heavily weighted poll with democrats.

like the abc phony poll that just came out. totally phony poll. they call them dark polls. they are phony polls put out by phony media. all of us are affected by this stuff. what they do is try and suppress the vote. this way people don't go out and vote. >> the only poll that matters is going to be finished on november the 8th. there's a couple of national polls, rasmussen, "investors business daily," that have us leading. in north carolina just today, fox reported that we're only down 1 here in north carolina. i got to tell you, abraham lincoln said memorably, believe nothing of what you hear and only half what was you see. what i'm seeing on the ground here in north carolina, what donald trump and i saw in cleveland on saturday night, him in naples today in florida today, there's an enthusiasm on the ground like i've never seen in my lifetime. >> the trump campaign's skepticism of the polls is not extending to all of his allies. yesterday conservative talk radio host rush limbaugh said

that he had been burned by rejecting the polls in the past. >> there's nobody that wants these polls to be wrong more than i do. and in 2012, i sat here every day and told you they were wrong. i made a foolish mistake of assuming that every republican that can vote would vote. because they were so fed up with obama and the economy. and as we learned later, there were anywhere from 2 million to 4 million republicans that didn't show up. i look at the external signs and the polls don't make any sense to me. so i don't know. i'm not going to get caught in the trap again of automatically rejecting what's out there. >> also last night, donald trump teed off on john podesta, hillary clinton's campaign chairman in a pollster practice known as oversampling. >> wikileaks also shows how john podesta, a man who speaks badly

of hillary and everybody else, he's a nasty guy. john podesta rigged the polls by oversampling. he said do this. by oversampling democrats. a voter suppression technique. >> trump appears to be referencing a 2008 e-mail purportedly from tom natsy requesting poll oversamples. oversampling is sometimes used to ensure there are enough members of a particular subgroup within a population to reduce the margin of error. msnbc has not independently ver ride the information in the e-mail. and accusing the fourth estate members of the press of trying to manipulate the election and more. >> i actually think we're winning despite what you hear from these very dishonest people. these thieves and crooks, the media, not all of it, not all of it, but much of it. without the media, hillary

clinton would be nothing. when the people who control the political power in our society can rig investigations like her investigation was rigged, can rig polls, you see these phony polls, and rig the media, they can wield absolute power over your life, your economy, and your country. they control what you hear and what you don't hear. what is covered, how it's covered, even if it's covered at all. but the media isn't just against me. they're against all of you. like hillary clinton, they look down on hard-working people within our country. the media is entitled, condescending, and even contemptuous of people who don't share certain elitist views. >> okay. two weeks until election

day, republican vice presidential nominee mike pence has a message for republicans wavering on support for donald trump. it's time to come home, a line he repeated several times on the campaign trail yesterday. >> it's time to reach out to all of our republican and conservative friends and say with one voice, it's time to come home. and elect donald trump as the next president of the united states. it's time to come home. and elect the trump/pence team. it's time to come home and come together and do everything in our power to make sure that hillary clinton is never elected president of the united states of america. and donald trump and republican congress can move this country forward. >> one republican who looks to be coming home is idaho senator mike crapo. the senator pulled his endorsement of trump earlier this month following that 2005 leaked tape of trump making lewd comments about women. the senator has now reversed his decision to unendorse.

he released a statement yesterday saying in part, i will vote for the republican ticket, trump and pence. we must elect a president who will appoint strong supreme court justices. campaigning in new hampshire, hillary clinton and senator elizabeth warren focused on down-ballot races. clinton is focusing on getting at least five new democratic women elected to the senate. clinton and warren appeared alongside governor maggie hassen, in a tight race against incumbent kelly ayotte. >> donald trump called latinos rapists and murderers. kelly stuck with him. trump called african-americans thugs. and kelly stuck with him. trump attacked a gold star family. and kelly stuck with him. trump even attacked kelly ayot and called her weak. and kelly stuck with him. donald trump sure has made kelly ayot dance.

day one she loves him, day two she hates him, day three she's back with him. donald trump is right, kelly is weak. >> meanwhile in arizona senator john mccain has released a new television ad hitting his opponent, democratic congresswoman ann kirkpatrick. >> this election matters to you. when you open your health insurance bill and find your premiums are doubling, remember that mccain strongly opposes obamacare. but kirkpatrick supports it, still calling it her proudest vote. when iran shouts "death to america" and captures our sailors, remember mccain is fighting the iran deal. kirkpatrick supports sending $55 billion to the world's largest sponsor of terrorism. that's why this election matters. >> hillary clinton's use of donald trump's controversial comments about a former miss universe contestant's weight was allegedly a plan that was months in the making. now that is according to one of the latest data dumps by wikileaks which released e-mails allegedly hacked from the

personal account of clinton campaign chairman john podesta. they have not been independently authenticated by msnbc news but the clinton campaign and u.s. intelligence officials have blamed russia for hacking the e-mails. a 157-page document purportedly e-mailed to podesta reported clinton had damaging quotes about alicia machado nine months before clinton used them at the debate. the data dump also allegedly reveals the clinton team began to map out attacks against trump in february. in an e-mail to communications director jen palmieri, clinton ally joe johnson asked when the campaign will start going after trump saying, i know you can't look past bernie and march primaries but who is in charge of the trump swift vote project, referring to a series of attacks in 2004 by the swift boat veterans for truth against john

kerry. johnson adds, needs to be ready, funded and unleashed when we decide. >> president obama took to late-night tv speg speaking to jimmy kimmel disis cussing the challenges clinton face is while keeping up criticism of donald trump. >> but as i've mentioned before, what i don't do is like at 3:00 a.m., i don't tweet. >> you don't tweet in the morning? >> about people who have insulted me. >> what this. >> i try to sleep so that in the morning i'm actually ready for crises. >> when you watch the debate and you watch donald trump, do you ever laugh? do you ever actually laugh? >> most of the time. >> why do you think so many people don't trust hillary clinton? >> you know, a lot of this just has to do with the fact that she has been in the trenches, in the arena, for 30 years. and when you have been in the public eye that long and in

polit politics, folks go after you. and they're trying to find a weak spot. and any mistake that you make ends up being magnified and jippjip ginned up and there are commercials around it and a narrative begins to build. that has an impact on people. outrage after thousands of u.s. troops promised money to reenlist, years later they're being asked to give their bonuses back. will ferrell reprises his role as legendary announcer harry carey to celebrate his team going to the world series.

mississippi. the parents say it happened during a break in football practice and that the sophomore returned to practice after the alleged incident. the naacp chapter president wants those teenagers charged as adults. a story sparking outrage across the country, it began ten years ago when the california national guard offered bonuses to soldiers to reenlist for the wars in iraq and afghanistan. now the military wants that money back saying thousands of soldiers didn't actually qualify. nbc's anne thompson reports. >> reporter: former army intelligence analyst susan halley, veteran of afghanistan, is furious. >> they betrayed me. that i gave them my time like i promised. and they can't give me my time back. >> reporter: she sends more than one-quarter of her monthly income, $650, to the military to repay $26,000 in bonuses she got to reenlist. >> we've had to dip into savings. we've completely exhausted our savings account.

>> reporter: chris van meter, a former army sergeant, earned a purple heart in iraq. he's refinanced his home to cover the $46,000 the military says he shouldn't have gotten. >> i think we really got screwed. i think it was a slap in the face. >> reporter: both were members of the california national guard, entilesed by the guard to re-up with bonuses of $15,000 or more when the pentagon was trying to fill the all-volunteer force from 2006 to 2008. only after the incentives were paid did the pentagon realize not all soldiers qualified. >> in most cases the soldiers didn't do anything wrong. >> reporter: the story first reported by the "los angeles times" involves about 10,000 soldiers who owe approximately $20 million. the vfw calls the efforts to get the money back insulting. >> this cannot stand in the way that it's going forward now. that's why we ask the department of defense to waive all further outstanding debt for these veterans. >> reporter: the department of defense says the senior leadership of the department is looking very closely at this matter.

these former soldiers say they've already paid. >> i'm proud that i was able to support and defend the constitution. am i frustrated, yes. am i angry, absolutely. >> i did everything they asked me to do and i did it honorably. >> reporter: now hoping the country they proudly serve will act honorably as well. anne thompson reporting. a check on weather with nbc meteorologist bill karins. i hear there's snow in the forecast? as long as it's in the right places that's cool. >> two weeks ago it was a mountain snow forecast. now all of a sudden they're starting to get more and more common. this will be the next event. it's not a huge snow event. it will be the first flakes for a few people. we're watching a storm in the middle of the country, the new storm that's going to move from the midwest to the great lakes to the northeast. this is the rainfall total. you can see the storm going from iowa through wisconsin through much of the northern half of the ohio valley, great lakes, through the heart of the northeast into new england. most of it is rain but not all. here's one of our computers showing us the snow forecast. this is primarily late wednesday

night, thursday morning. so 48 hours from now into thursday afternoon. the white in here is just 1 inch of snow but that would be a possibility of northern pennsylvania, a good section of new york, northern portions of new england. when we get to the blues it's 2 to 3 inches. the leaves are still on the trees in some of these areas so that could be problematic. we'll see if this plays out in central new york up in the mountains of new england. that's two days from now. here's the timing on everything. the new storm later today soaks minnesota. maybe a few strong thunderstorms here in southern minnesota, northern iowa. as we go through tomorrow morning it's an umbrella day in chicago, milwaukee, through detroit, all the southern portions of mesh began. we'll take this wednesday night into thursday morning through cleveland and erie. there we are 11:00 a.m. thursday, the blue on this map shows where it could be snowing from syracuse, binghamton, upstate new york, portions of the catskills and northern new jersey. we are heading toward the cold season. we don't like the power outages, especially if it's cold out, we want to avoid that. >> but you didn't say anything about ski resorts so focus on

that. >> i think this mostly will be northern new england, the ski areas in maine could do well with this. >> that's good. thank you very much. still ahead, game one of the world series. we're previewing the contest between the cubs and the indians. plus the governors of ohio and illinois are getting in on the fun with a friendly wager. sports with lewis is next. e lexus rx, rx hybri f sport. ths the rx...elevated. get o $500 customer cash on select 2016 models. see your lexus dealer.

breaking news from overseas this morning. more than 60 people are dead after an attack on a police training facility in pakistan. we'll tell you who's claiming responsibility. and another thing so add to the election equation, obamacare premiums set to increase by double digits for millions of people in the new year. donald trump is already on the attack. i've got news for you, donald trump. women have had it with guys like you. and nasty women have really had it with guys like you. >> senator elizabeth warren hits the trail with hillary clinton and fully embraces one of trump's nastiest swipes. ♪

good morning, everyone. it is tuesday, october 25th. i'm alex witt alongside betty nguyen and lewisbuouis burgdorf the pakistani taliban has claimed responsibility for a deadly attack on a pakistani police training center. at least 61 people are dead, 131 more injured after between four and six gunmen opened fire at that police school located in the city of cueta. the gunmen later exploded suicide vests. a spokesman for the pakistani taliban says the attack was revenge for the judicial killing of militants in jails. while an official tells nbc news the attack emanated from afghanistan. nbc's amon mow hah dean joins us now. >> this was a brazen attack. according to pakistani sources it began around 11:00 p.m. monday local time when three attackers, one opening fire at

the watchtower there, were able to penetrate their way into this police academy. there was about 700 recruits, most of them getting ready to go to bed. as you were saying those attackers, one of them was carrying a suicide vest, blew himself up, killing several of those young recruits aged between 15 to 25. the other two attackers went further into that compound and unleashed a barrage of gun fire before detonating their suicide vests. the general in charge of the counter operation said this entire counterterrorism operation lasted about three hours. it gives you a sense of the scope that unfolded over those terrifying hours for those police recruits. as you were talking you were saying there was a clernlging claim of responsibility. we know the pakistani government is telling us that they believe it emanated from afghanistan, an indication it perhaps might have been al qaeda or linked to the pakistani taliban inside their open country. interesting 30 enough in the last couple of hours there's been a new claim of responsibility, unconfirmed by

nbc news, but isis is now also claiming responsibility that it too has -- it too was behind that attack. so adding another layer of complexity to what we're learning about this deadly incident. >> you bring up isis. with regard to the move to take mosul back from control of isis militants, it was ringed on three sides but it would seem that despite the progress they've made some of these isis militants have moved to the western iraqi town? >> this is an interesting development on two fronts. as those coalition forces and iraqi forces move on the eastern and northern part of mosul, there is still that lifeline between mosul and syria where isis' stronghold and raqqah and its headquarters are believed to be. but the reports that are coming out this morning that isis was able to launch this counter offensive operation into the city of raqbah, overtaking part of it, that would be significant. it shows isis has the ability to launch counter offensive operations even though it is still being pressured by these

coalition forces. there are also some reports, alex that about 250 or so fighters are coming in from syria to reinforce isis-held positions inside the city center of mosul. that is where there's going to be a big fight. coalition forces have not made their way into the city center, isis is trying to reinforce those positions. there is analysis they're kind of conceding outer lying cities to reinforce its mold on mosul itself for the fight in the next week or possibly even later. but the fact that they are still able to go beyond mosul, carry out operations in rutbah, that is significant. it requires resources to put that counterinsurgency town, at the same point it shows isis still has deadly capabilities despite being squeezed on other sides of that fight. >> thanks for the update. stateside there are more bad headlines for the president's signature health care law this

morning. higher premiums and fewer options. health plans are set to rise on average by about 25% in the 39 states that use healthcare.gov. the administration says 1 in 4 consumers will only have a single insurer to choose from since major carriers have reduced their roles in the marketplace. trump seized on the news while campaigning in tampa last night. >> it's over for obamacare. and hillary clinton wants to double down and make it more expensive. and it's not going to work. i called it when it first came out. it's only getting worse. and not only for you, for the country. because our country can't afford it. you can't afford it. and 1 in 5 americans trapped on obamacare will only have a single insurer to choose from. and boy are those insurers going to have a good time with you. >> now we should add that the administration says about 77% of

enrollees will be able to find a plan for under $100 after subsidies and financial aid kicks in. open enrollments begin november 1st. trump spent all of monday making his way through florida. he was once again accompanied by iconic sports figure, this time retired florida state university football coach bobby bowden who touted trump's strength in restoring the military. earlier in the day trump met with veterans during a roundtable as he sought to contrast himself with hillary clinton. >> the media also doesn't talk about hillary's reckless plans for starting a shooting war in syria that would involve a nuclear armed russia. she just has bad judgment. she does. bad judgment. if you look at her plans for syria, these are the plans of a child. these are the plans of a person that doesn't know what she's doing. >> i've been endorsed by virtually every police department and police group.

and i've been endorsed largely, concept actually at least, by the military and by the vets. we've had tremendous veteran endorsements. the veterans have been treated so unfairly in this country. >> to dispel the notion an electoral college victory is slipping from donald trump's reach his campaign distributed this battleground map designating michigan, wisconsin, and virginia, states trending toward clinton, as toss-ups. arizona, utah, and georgia, tight in recent polls, are locked in for trump. on msnbc yesterday campaign manager kelly ann conway said there are hidden clues to detecting their path to 270. >> when you look at the electoral map, watch and see where we deploy our major assets. governor pns, mr. trump, our paid media campaign, other opportunities we have, our super surrogates keeping their own schedules soon. that's our roadmap. i share it privately here.

whatever you see that's shared publicly may be a little bit different for lots of reasons. but we have a couple of different paths to get to 270. we're actively pursuing them. >> a look at the campaign schedules show trump has two rallies today in florida. running mate mike pence has stops in ohio. then tomorrow will head to colorado, nevada, and utah which has voted republican in every presidential election since 1968. while trump heads back to north carolina for a rally tonight, his wednesday campaign schedule includes the grand opening and ribbon cutting for the trump international hotel in washington, d.c. speaking of unusual campaign stops, vice president joe biden will be hitting the trail for democrats in south carolina next week campaigning for congressman jim cleburne and taking mops in rock hill and sum psuch tear, part of the fifth district. donald trump though launched a nightly facebook live program last night furthering speculation that the republican nominee plans to launch a media

channel should he fail to win on election day dubbed trump tower live. the 6:30 p.m. eastern broadcast will air each night until election day. last night's program featured a trump campaign adviser, conservative commentators and interviews with sean spicer and trump campaign manager kelly ann conway. the 45-minute broadcast led into trump's evening rally in florida. this latest broadcast comes on the heels of trump offering coverage of the final presidential debate via facebook live last week as well as earlier reports that trump's son-in-law jared kushner reportedly discussed the possibility of a post-election trump-branded television network with a top media dealmaker. hillary clinton took her campaign to battleground new hampshire where she was joined by senator elizabeth warren. at an event in manchester, senator warren tore into the republican nominee about his remarks about women including the moment he called clinton a "nasty woman" during the final presidential debate. >> he thinks that because he has money that he can call women fat

pigs and bimbos. he thinks that because he has a mouth full of tic-tacs that he can force himself on any woman within groping distance. i've got news for you, donald trump. women have had it with guys like you. and nasty women have really had it with guys like you. get this, donald. nasty women are tough. nasty women are smart. and nasty women vote. and on november 8th, we nasty women are going to march our nasty feet to cast our nasty votes to get you out of our lives forever. >> we're up here without our

phones so we can't check tweets. but i kind of expect if donald heard what she just said he's tweeting away. she gets under his thin skin like nobody else. >> senator elizabeth warren not holding back there. the trial of former pennsylvania attorney general kathleen kane came to a close with tears and a prison sentence. a judge in pennsylvania sentenced kane to 10 to 23 months in prison for conviction on nine charges including peshlg and conspiracy. kane's political downfall began two years ago when she leaked cough deshlg grand jury material to a newspaper in an attempt to embarrass a political opponent then lied about it under oath. kane pleaded for leniency but prosecutors played video of kane on the day after the conviction saying she had no regrets about her life or career. speaking of charles lewis, day 24 of the federal bridgegate trial in new mexico. yesterday bridget ann kelly,

former aide to governor christie who wrote the infamous time for traffic problems in ft. lee e-mail testified she thought she'd be made to take the fall. she said she told christie about the lane closures on three occasions though the governor said he had no knowledge of the scandal before it became public. she said she told christie the mayor thought the traffic jam was political retribution but the governor told her it was a port authority project and they should handle it. she testified the governor seemed to be having a memory issue when he demanded in december 2013 whether anyone knew anything about those closures and that's when according to "the star ledger" she said she began leaking incriminating e-mails pointing to her own knowledge. testimony continues today. still ahead, a mystery involving shakespeare put to rest for good? or just reigniting debate? first, something wicked this way comes from the midwest, that

even into tomorrow we stay cool. tomorrow morning will be a killing freeze in some areas here too. we'll only heat up to 51 in new york. 49 in pittsburgh. that's kind of laying the groundwork for our possible snow event coming in thursday morning. again, that will mostly be north of new york city in areas of upstate new york. today's forecast, there is some warmth out there. texas today is all in the 80s. oklahoma city is 80. denver, that's one of those perfect days. temperatures upper 60s to low 70s. very comfortable. atlanta, a top ten day for you, no humidity or very little humidity. 77 degrees. of course there's also another big event going on tonight. world series. cleveland, ohio. game one partly cloudy. you expect it to be chilly this time of year, it will be a high of 47 degrees. that will probably be a little difficult for the hitters. when you get those 90-mile-per-hour fastballs and the wood bat, the hands can hurt a little bit. >> all of you, this is the most fascinating story of the day. here it is. interest in an age-old literary mystery is being revived as

william shakespeare's colleague and sometimes rival gets credit on a classic work. the oxford shakespeare edition will list christopher marlowe as coauthor on parts i, ii, ii of the hen very v plays. this is the first time a major edition of shakespeare's work lists marlowe back to the 18th century. >> very cool. we're sure if you're sick of political ads, particularly if you live in swing states, we thought we'd show you some of the less-conventional ones you may have missed. here's part of one from a congressional race in new jersey. >> i just found out congressman scott garrett is a tea party radical. are you [ bleep ] kidding me? against health care for 9/11 first responders? oh [ bleep ]. scott garrett, pull the wool over our eyes and i'm [ bleep ] mad about it.

oh sweetie, come on, we've got to go now. >> democrat josh scotthymer taking on current congressman scott garrett in that one. travis county, texas, where austin is, for republican gerald dougherty, comes with a desperate plea from his wife. >> gerald really doesn't have any hobbies. >> last year's tax rate was 1.4469. this year we could take that down to 3838 -- >> is he always like that? >> yeah, all the time. >> we got three light rail cars. you could put 60 people on each car. so even if you add two cars, you're talking about maybe 300 people that are affected. there are a million people in this community. i mean, that is .01 to the 8th power, if you round it off it's zero. this 18-wheeler parked in this neighborhood spewing fumes all over the place. quite frankly it's not a code violation. you know, i think i like helping around the house here. >> please re-elect gerald. please.

>> okay, the good news is it will all be over in two weeks, at least we hope. when we come back a live report from london as at&t and time warner shares fall and some analysts grow skeptical of the deal. ♪ ing 60,000 points fr my cse ink card i bought allheramework... wire... and plts needed to give my shop... a ce.. none will foet. e what the power of points can do for your business. learn more at ase.coink e what the power of points can do for your business. jay knows w to keep nice srts, dad... this is what the pros s ar.

barack obama is the nickelback of presidents. obama couldn't negotiate getting

a whopper without pickles. barack obama, bro, do you even lift? well, i lifted the ban on cuban cigars, that's worth something. president obama will go down as perhaps the worst president in the history of the united states exclamation point. @realdonaldtrump. well, @realdonald trump -- at least i will go down as a president. >> welcome back. that was president obama taking on his twitter critics last night on "jimmy kimmel live." the story dominating business headlines, the mega merger between at&t and thyme warner. livelondon, louisa, this deal has been panned on the campaign trail and seems to be something wall street is starting to be skeptical of as well. the issue is whether or not it's going to be allowed to go through by the regulators.

that perhaps is why we saw share prices closing lower in yesterday's trade, at&t off by almost 200, time warner by closer to 3%. time warper trading around ape times below the value of the deal which some say indicates the market thinks there's a round a 40% chance of the deal actually going through. let me mention twitter as well because according to unconfirmed reports via bloomberg they could be set to ax an additional 8% of their workforce, around 300 employees. they could announce this before the earnings release on thursday morning. remember they cut around 8% of their workforce already about a year ago. this would just be another cut on top of the cuts we've already had. a ton of earnings out this week. apple a big one after the bell. what do you need to look for? are sales still falling? watch for that. fourth quarter shipments seen at $45 million. fourth quarter earnings seen at $1.65 per share. what's happening to revenue, what's happening to emerging markets, what's happening to

nonwestern revenue as well. we have seen regulatory hurdles in china and that has led to a slowdown. the share price of interest. many think we could be looking at this slowdown continuing. it would be the third consecutive quarter we've seen of declines. the optimists think the bottom has been hit already. the 3m, they make scotch tape, dental implants, earnings forecast to rise a bit, revenue seen flat year on year. sales outlook, there has been softness with weakness coming from asia. also electronics and energy units, sales dropping by 10% in the second quarter. they need to see improvement in this particular division. caterpillar, another really big company reporting before the bell third quarter. they've seen revenues falling for seven straight quarters. that's because of the weakening mining industry in general. also due to the weaker oil prices. they need to see a global pickup in order to turn this thing around. >> louisa, thank you for joining us live from london.
