the push to reform healthcare. as more americans go without health insurance coverage. how many are not protected? plus...nevada, california and florida take the foreclosure titles. hundreds of thousands of new foreclosures nationwide, led by those three states. and..summer box office sales reach a record ...but with fall and winter approaching can we soon expect the movie industry to cool off. certainly not cooling off as the appetite for investors to own both u.s. stocks as well as government ious government bonds we have the dow jones industrial average on this friday ahead of the opening bell close to its highest level since last october and still lost interest in buying government bonds if interest rates still as low as they are. and we are

getting news from the treasury department this week on thursday in fact treasury secretary test right and from the congress said that $70 billion of the part money has already been paid back by banks and he says open next year and a half banks will pay back an additional 50 billion remember the public-private partnership in which the investments for private investors are supposed to buy toxic assets are still stitching on balance sheets the treasury secretary says the program will still continue and going to be launched up in the next several weeks. what of the watchdog for treasurys that the toxic levels still remains on the books. debate over how to reform health care heats up.. as president obama goes on the offensive.... leaving the door open to the idea of a government run insurance option... talking with a group of nurses on thursday... president obama again took the opportunity to clear up any misunderstanding about his reform plan... he also repeated what he told

congress earlier this week... saying the government run public option.. is only part of a larger plan. but let me just repeat because this is the source of the rumor that we're plotting some government takeover of health care -- it would just be one option among many. no one would be forced to choose it. and everybody believes that the vast majority of people will still be getting their insurance through private insurance. the president's remarks come just as the census bureau reports new figures that show the number of people both with and without health insurance are on the rise.. americans with no health care coverage rose from 45.7 million in 2007 to 46.3 million last year.. while the number of people with health insurance stood at 255 million last year.. up by 2 million from 2007 and the president.. had a message for those millions who already have health insurance: now, for the hundreds of millions of americans who have

health insurance, nothing in this plan will require you, or your employer, to change the coverager the doctor you have. nothing will change for you if you have insurance. the census bureau also reports.. that the number of people covered by private health insurance is declining slightly... while those on goverment health insurance ... including medicaid and medicare..is on the rise... totaling more than 87 million. nevada, florida and california continue to lead the nation in foreclosures. more than 350- thousand properties fell into some stage of foreclosure in august, from a mortgage default notice to a bank repossession, according to realty trac. that's down less than one percent from a month ago and up 18 percent from a year ago. almost two out of every three of these foreclosure filings come from just three states, nevada, florida and california. on area of less bad news may be fewer bank repossessions in august compared to a year

earlier. while existing home sales have jumped in recent months, a third of them are considered distressed sales. banks may be backing away from repossessions, trying to work out deals with homeowners instead of taking back the house and trying to sell it, which could add more downward pressure on prices. world wide oil demand is expected to go up... thanks to better than expected economic data here in the united states and in china... for the second month in a row, the international energy agency raised its forecast.. saying oil demand is likely to rise next year.. to almost 86 million barrels a day.... the agency revised its forecast up by half a million barrels a day ... but it also said oil demand is likely to remain weak for the rest of this year.. the news helped drive crude oil to 72 dollars a barrel... but some traders say speculation about higher oil demand may be a little optimistic at this point. "i see a little demand increases... but it's on a tight leash... week to week, month to month.. it's nothing to

write home about.. but demand is a little better." the higher demand outlook comes in the face of global oil supplies that are still very plentiful... here in the u-s crude oil inventories.. stand at just over 337 million barrels.. that's on the high end for this time of year. and the bigger concern.. still centers around low production levels... the international energy agency points to "poor refining margins" .. which means refiners are producing oil at a slower pace. traders say that could pose a problem. "the consequence.. if you had a real increase in demand, and not have refining product to meet the demand, is that we'd see a spike in oil.. companies

would be scrambling to find product... we'd also see outages in some spots around the country. " also this week, the organization of petroleum exporting countries... said it will keep its production levels the same. opec produces about 40% of the world's oil supply. despite the traditional september been a bull market killer we have seen certainly the stock market reached new highs and how to months. brain is with us over at the cme group would be make of this rally this first full real trading week in september? we have had a couple days in a row with a market rally. unless filling could it seems to be a feeling that the part of is that people don't miss it. there's money on the sidelines best breeding money into the stock- market. boy of 3057 e points a day is not just hundreds and hundreds and hundreds the other part of the market we have to look at is interest rates should we had a blowout we can

treacheries we had preteens and thirties all options when well yesterday that 30 year was a killer it came out great it was great attendance everyone care in a trade up a point after the auction came as 12 billion three-year notes. this is significant more than 20 billion in government ious own record please supply in the market is eating it up. at the part of that is that there are two things going on in the bond market when its people are not sure where to put their money so their hiding it in treasurys. there's so much stimulus truly is not just the u.s. and europe asia and everyone else they're pumping so much money in the system when you don't know where to go if you're on certain if the park in the deepest market you have in the treasury market. so that is mass but the real direction of interest rates are because there's so much more money hiding and treasurys. it does seem to be selling the stock swap post so much highs brave battle along with the sea is the performance trust koppell powers at the cme group. banks.

sells what about the bottom line for studio and their shareholders in the fall ahead david is back with us watching the movie business in the movies as well nice to see you. tough labor day as you predicted and back a week ago betterton $4 billion in sales in the united states over the summer. i mean the thing is no one expected much from labor day weekend so there really wasn't a big deal. the big deal was international this a new record of 5.8 billion coupled with the 4.3 billion record domestic that's more than $10 billion. for studios this summer. that's tremendous. is even made war press because exchange rates don't favor american companies like they did before last fall economic collapse and when we look at the chart of the top four movies of the international to of these movies double the gross domestic and ice 8 actually tripled meaning. the screens are really growing in taking more points internationally. american movies continue to remain a tremendous export. huge export and obviously hollywood business isn't only domestic really is becoming much much larger over seas. what about the

pipe line here coming off this huge summer we're on record pace is the product there to support the profits? it's hard to say right now the something is want to be different in the fourth quarter in this. it has to do with the supply and demand of the team is there is last fall credit crunch meaning fewer movies this quarter and did the research 135 movies are going to be released due sept. in december compared to 199. in 2008 as a 32% drop-off that can be a lot smaller independent movies film makers couldn't find financing or they've confine distribution. for the second year in the world for paramount has pushed to of the bigger movies back to the following year. touse not have to show the marketing costs on their books. one of the movies isn't shattered island would be an idle the capital moved from october to four rigs orders on

happy about this because a look like it's going to be one of the better movies of the fall. but paramount business model of taking on partners in lowering risk limits their profits that they have to share with during works in the county to cut costs. one way is to shift costs to the next fiscal year as opposed to the current fiscal year. meantime more immediate focus obviously another busy weekend this coming weekend here slasher films through a fence anything to get excited about? a week after labor day is also a very slow we to perform we show promise. the two that don't summit entertainment has toward t wrote a horror movie. the score it looks like a standard action thriller but the two movies that show promise have brand names attacked with them tim burton is
