around seventy strikes against the muskets thirty people were killed two hundred injured and the jihad immobile. into the damascus you know thinks there were no casualties but this is because that was the let's say attacks of the terrorists a jihadist whatever you call them and of course it has to react and this is one story the other story is united nations is waiting to send the humanitarian aid to eastern ghouta but how to get it there because for example the routes are full of mines you can to go there the terrorists holding the life shield the people there not letting them out. we tried to i mean the syrians and of course the russians to try to reach an agreement to make a safe passages from from eastern goods outside you know to damascus

but the debt agreement failed so we discussed with the british you know what the british could do in a practical terms but to support this resolution you know whom they could talk and what kind of signals they could send to the. you whether it's a neutral position whatever to be on to people in order to save lives and i'll tell you that so that was a very pragmatic conversation and i think that the minister duncan. he received my message and he promised to send the right signals to the people with whom they're connecting on the ground in order to to have this cease fire and to feel the resume loosen so basically that was the the key subject that we discussed today and that was the probably the first level meeting after the meeting go boris johnson. foreign secretary with the sergey lavrov russian foreign minister

since december last year i think it's time to work a little bit closer and i was happy that at the meeting there was also the special representative on syria of the foreign offices so we decided it would continue the conversation practical conversation but the heard the message that what is really very important is to do something on the ground because without the solutions on the ground you know it will be very difficult to reach. the proper the proper cease fire i informed the minister that. russia. announced the so-called silence zones from nine to two pm there will be no strikes no nothing that will be a great opportunity to. i mean to have write access by the united nations. the human uteri in aid. to access the right places not about the eastern good it's

also some other places where it would be see i told that we were at with the situation the roc-a we don't have access to rocca and by the way the united nations should send the the team in order to assess what could be done from the point of the humanitarian aid today and minister lavrov in moscow when he was meeting his counterpart. french counterpart said that we have to send the. humanitarian let's say commission from the united nations to make an assessment not only to iraq but also to the city and towns which is also closed for the syrian government and for anybody so basically the ra i'm quite sure that the ra some other places which were let's see freed by the us led a position and we need access to these places. so that was almost in our conversation

but from my point of view it was a very useful conversation we need the british on board but. of course as i said we don't accept the. the statements like the russians are guilty for the humanitarian situation we're on the scene both were trying to do our best in order to release syria from the terrorists. mr ambassador many thanks for joining us this evening appreciate your to actually i'm just being told we can actually stay on the line with a very pleased to hear that so while we have you i just like to pick up on what you said about the you know office of support one might say from the united kingdom they're going to try and exert their influence and if we look at what's been said publicly to reason may has called on russia to apply pressure to the syrian government to stop the violence is usually russia that's being held law is the responsible for bringing about peace is the u.k. now accepting that they have a responsibility to contravene towards that pace will they be

a key partner for russia. because you know our task is to engage yuki because the any engagement any sides means sieved lives in the we care about life in syria that's why we are trying to engage britain. and we're trying to do this with all other countries so we're trying to do your best. ok many thanks appreciate the extra few minutes for me that i speaking to russia's ambassador to the united kingdom alexander thank you. as you can see a very busy news hour some important guests on the line and plenty more coming your way after this short break. russia's been reaching out for decades for years now. under putin saying let me go

trade more this more trade and america is like no no you're an existential crisis because we have to give these deadbeats in congress a lot more money if you're going to create a fake enemy called food that with demand three hundred million more dollars meanwhile you go to trade with china and on the east and create the news so grow to become much for join a five twenty six line dollar commie all america shrink. seemed wrong. but old rules just don't hold. any belief just to shape our disdain comes to agitate and indeed from an equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground.

welcome back israeli soldiers who carried out a pre-dawn raid on a palestinian village arresting people among them a teenage boy still recovering from an alleged gunshot to the head sustained at the west bank protest two months ago the raid itself was caught on video by one of his family members. while ten palestinians were arrested by the i.d.f. in a pre-dawn raid five of them were minors and among those detained was mohammad khatami meat who was seriously wounded after an israeli soldier fired at him with a rubber bullet back in december and now he is currently waiting for surgery to help restore part of his skull after it was removed in emergency surgery following

that december incident and it's not the. god i'm new to to learn what i'm going to. live in or the israeli army has confirmed that it a race to tell me overnighted says that the service was approved by an army physician and now after being arrested he was interrogated and has been subsequently released during that interrogation it seems as if he was forced to say that he fell off a bike and when his head hit the handlebars there course the injury now his family has refused at this and in fact doctors have proven that the injury to his head was in fact caused by every other bullet he is the younger brother of tamimi who is currently in detention awaiting trial after slapping any israeli soldier who arrived at her home.

now that was filmed back in december when soldiers arrived at the tell me home to rest mohammed naturally after he was extremely angry and her brother are regularly at protests and demonstrations with israeli soldiers there very often in confrontations. the bombshell bestseller fire and fury reportedly use numerous tricks to gain revelations about the trumpet ministration including author michael wolff closer to the white house that the book and its title will be much more favorable apparently it's far from the only trick up his sleeve as wolf appeared to demonstrate when confronted with an extremely uncomfortable question about his claims. he wrote the book that president drum didn't want you to buy so you. can start your

trip the white house might go michael wolff michael wolff the author of fire and fury joins me now michael wolff welcome on a work. during a t.v. interview just last month that you're absolutely sure that donald trump is currently having an affair just last week backflips and said i quote i do not know if the president is having an affair do you are the president and the first lady an apology mr wolf. i can't hear you. do you are the president and the why the apology i can't hear you. but loosely sure that the president having an affair i'm not getting i'm not getting anything. you know hearing me but i'm not getting anything.

a californian who's an expert in recycling electronics is funded self and a whole lot of trouble this is over his idea to help people to save money when it comes to upgrading the computers microsoft has accused of creating thousands of illegal copies of itself well you know argues that he was only using it to extend the life span of old p.c.'s but he faces up to fifteen months in prison and a possible fifty thousand dollars fine lunker and insists he was acting within the law. the microsoft software itself gets missing d.l.l. files and bloatware and viruses but over time will break down the software so that it doesn't operate and function as intended you might have seen that before if you ever use a computer and it just seems to slow down over time and it needs a every fresh which is what the purpose of a restore cd is so you have a license with your computer and that follows your computer in perpetuity until

your computer's no longer working and that computer can be used by hundreds of people thousands of people and the license follows the hardware so the hardware itself over time might get missing d.l.l. files or it might get viruses in bloatware and what you'll end up doing is you want to refresh your re-install your valid copy of license on your computer and to do that you need three things you need to see a way you need a license and you need to restore media restore cd the restore cd is free you can download it anywhere online but the c.e.o. and license have to come from microsoft they're the only ones that can provide you with that much of claims that it missed out on sales of its license products accusing loved going off piracy prosecutors claim he made twenty eight thousand illegal copies of microsoft's operating system. most convicted but an appeals court allowed him to argue his case while small he says that his main purpose was to

encourage people to use refurbished computers instead of purchasing new ones. i know that if you were to make top the use of their license or their seal ways you're directly stealing from microsoft and you deserve to go to prison but if you're providing the restore cd which is the free thing that you can download for free or that's given to you with your computer if you provide that to consumers you're giving them the ability to repair their legally own property and i see no problem with that i believe in extending the life cycle of electronics and i believe that it helps us be more efficient in society for able to use these computers as long as they last i was very surprised when microsoft put me in that same circle with the people that are out there acting or stealing their licenses or seal ways i mean that is a crime crime that deserves to be punished because you directly stealing from

somebody all i was attempting to do was help consumers use what they legally own i've been a recycler for sixteen years and all i care about is the environment i want to make sure the things that work continue to work for the benefit of mankind but it seems a recycling of extending the life of products isn't something that most companies actually want you to consider is that they would prefer to keep buying new.

i'm bart shelton. coming up we asked danielle de martino booth to give us her view ahead of the new federal reserve chairman jay powell testimony before congress and she helps us examine inflation and tells us just when she thinks interest rates will rise plus crypto currencies are increasing we check in with jeffrey tucker on what's going on and what to expect all of that in our near term future but first let's get some headlines a proposal to allow chinese president xi jinping to remain in power past twenty twenty three is being considered the chinese constitution currently prohibits presidents from serving more than two terms of five years each the proposal by the communist party's central committee comprised of two hundred members is holding a three day meeting these days meeting to approve the presidential cabinet the central committee's recommendations are usually rubber stamped and approved by. the

u.k. opposition leader jeremy corbyn of labor has come out in favor of remaining in the customs union that's a cooperative trading relationship with members of the european union however corbett insisted that the u.k. still be allowed to negotiate its own deals with other nations and trade blocks a deregulates free rice the bottom would damage people's jobs and living standards and labor would negotiate a new and strong relationship with a single market that includes full time and free access and a full and existing rights standards and protections. corbin's position has been rejected in the past by e.u. officials when proposed by prime minister theresa may though corbin's more flexible stance on immigration and his pledge to immediately guarantee the rights of all u.s. you e.u. citizens living in the u.k. could earn him more space to maneuver if labor were to take over power the leftist

leaders said trade deals with the united states or china would not be likely to compensate for the significant loss of trade with our trading neighbors in the e.u. and pointed out that forty four percent of u.k. exports are purchased by consumers while fifty percent of the u.k.'s imports come from the e.u. corben statement increases pressure on the prime minister as the labor bloc members of parliament could now vote with euro skeptics from the conservative party to defeat expected legislation on the issue possibly leading to a vote of no confidence and new elections corben so-called soft bracks at position represents an evolution for the labor leader who has long been regarded as a skeptic of e.u. it also ordered him some praise rare praise that is from business groups including the confederation of british industry and the british chamber of commerce. and

sticking with the united kingdom retail sales for january in the u.k. were lower than expected growing only point one percent when expectations were for half a percent year over year u.k. retail sales were up one point six percent also far below expectations for two point six percent yearly increase the outliers in retail show that food sales took a large drop while sporting equipment sportswear toys and games all increased by eleven percent. the seventh round of talks to renegotiate the north american free trade agreement or nafta have begun but the latest news in the us mexico relationship there are more likely to make not much progress and recent months mexico and u.s. diplomats had worked behind the scenes to lower tensions that had been stoked by president donald trump's campaign pledge to complete a wall along the us mexico border and his demand that mexico pay the cost trump

demands scuttled a trip from the mexican president and repay pena nieto who had planned to come here last year shortly after trump's inauguration and diplomats on both sides had hoped to revive the plan for a trip this year however a phone call in recent days between the two presidents meant to firm up planned meeting for march ended a mutual frustration over the exact same issues as a rexx a can president trump to stop insists and that mexico would pay before the latest debacle diplomats and trade experts are already saying that nafta negotiation process is behind schedule now even that slow progress seems to be losing steam issues which have been seemingly unsurmountable somebody blocks include u.s. demands to significantly alter rules related to automobile imports and the imposition of a haws that would automatically kill nafta after five years canadian prime minister

justin trudeau also weighed in recently on nafta warning that quote canada is willing to walk away from nafta if the united states proposes a bad deal. we're joined by daniele de martino boot the founder of money strong and the author of fed up an insider's take on why the federal reserve is bad for america and daniel recently penned an opinion editorial that was for bloomberg view it was super interesting danielle thanks for being with us again you think that most folks weren't actually as they were so consumed by the market moves in the last few weeks that maybe not enough of pent attention was paid to the inflation data that and some other things tell us about. well you know the real the real irony here is that what got people set off in terms of inflation fears was really not not real.

the labor report that came out that showed two point nine percent year over year increase in earnings was largely offset by a shrinking of the workweek so they really. they really viewed the wage inflation problem in a silo and didn't take the whole picture into account if you're working fewer hours and you're getting paid more for the hour again they largely offset themselves they have been disregarding and this is what's stressing me out they've been disregarding news that we've seen of late on input prices raw materials the producer price index recently had a six year high and index of eighteen and dust real inputs hit a three year high and we've seen that wholesale inventories have been depleted they've been they've been they've been taken down to the bone and that implies not just that producer prices input prices for companies are high today but that they're going to keep rising investors really need to be aware of this so i want to

go back to a century you're saying that the people conflated the data related to inflation related to inflate her so. i wondered when we saw that because that's a gear gently right that's how it was reported that there was a wage growth that was a little higher than people expected and i wondered whether or not you know some on the street a wait a minute we're not going to make as much money because it's going to workers i know it's a cynical view but as you say you know that wasn't even the full picture so when we when we look at inflation how does that impact things like bond prices down you know. well let's just say for example that the work week it was just a one month just a one month aberration and that the next time we get the labor report out in a few weeks that we say that rate wages have continued to rise and that the

workweek has expanded and on top of that the corporations are having to deal with higher input prices so you've got a margin squeeze right there you add insult to injury in the form of higher interest rates and all of a sudden corporations are not only spending more for their workers meaning making less for their shareholders their input prices are squeezing them six ways to sunday and their interest expense is going up when they're when they're over ridden with more debt than corporate america has ever held before i mean this is that sounds like a triple storm to me that's building and again i don't necessarily know that investors are paying attention to the to the to the height of interest rates to the fact that more recently we saw that the flip side of the weak dollar which benefits our manufacturers is that import prices are rising at a surprisingly high rate we're not going to buy as many mercedes and b.m.w.'s as we were before if we were that fortunate to begin with right and you know one of the things you didn't mention there was that the tax hit that some companies took

you know from from the new tax bill now that will work out to their advantage this year two thousand and eighteen two of the taxable year two thousand and eighteen but they did have some tax hit still for last year and you're seeing that reflected in some of the earnings reports so combine that with what you're talking about the wage growth the input cost and the tax hit even though it's temporary all those are going into it i hate the perfect storm analogy but all of those are coming together and that's really what concerns you isn't it. it is and on top of that for all of the excitement that's been generated about the tax bill you know in order to accommodate that tax bill we know that the deficit. that treasury issuance bills and bonds over the next twelve months is going to be double what it was before that and that you know and that also incorporates the latest budgetary numbers that we've seen but again you can't have rising supply have the fed stepping back as

a buyer little by little by little every quarter and not expect bond prices to rise and i think once all of this once all of this craziness with short volatility and respect i think once the market has worked through that and the big downs and the big ups it's going to turn its attention back to interest rates back to what's driving interest rates and you know we're not that far away from the recent cycle high of three point zero three percent on the ten year treasury if we surpassed that which is maybe twelve hundreds of a percentage point if we pass that line of demarcation i can't tell you what's going to happen to the stock market but it won't be pretty. i can get the theory here and it is a little troubling as you're explaining it do you think. it's likely that we will see another market correction before the poem so you mean it's march right.

march the twenty first and i think the odds are you know don't don't hold me to this because there's one thing you can never do and that's time to market but i suspect that january was possibly the cycle high for the stock market and the we're going to continue to have one's the volatility genie is out of her bottle after the markets being as complacent as they've been on all of record keeping that we have on hand once that volatility is introduced you to pick only seen the top of the market for stocks so now we're in the bumpy ride part of the transition that typically precedes a bear market is this going to happen before the march twenty first i couldn't tell you i can tell you that the focus is going to be on jay powell when he puts in his initial testimony to congress on thursday the twenty eighth well let me ask you about him in about the meeting and i.
