your question was when do i see that changing, holding second dose and reserve, first of all, reserve. reserve is about being able to have flexibility and being agile and adapt to the situations, things that might happen in distribution as we go along execution so i can immediately get things to wear and needs to be so everybody has their and equitable execution to the american people. i see reserve dwindling everyday as we move forward, more confidence in execution, in administration and uptake, in the use, the american people wanting the vaccine. my goal is to drive that down because we want no vaccines on the shelf. holding the second dose is just until we have ultimate confidence and we have built up stocks to ensure that second dose. the studies were based on second doses. the fda approved on a second dose. for me this is a moral sponsor ability to make sure that second dose is available for the american people. we have just held onto it. it is in our cadence for delivery, 21 days later for pfizer and 28 days later for moderna. that is the plan right now. i think both the reserve

the economist claudia some worked with janet yellen at the federal reserve.anet yellen is memorable. i worked with her when she was the vice chair at the federal reserve and when she was at the chair and i work very closely with her as she has been the president of the american economics association. she is absolutely the most qualified person to be secretary of the treasury. i'm really excited that she is going to be taking on that

it's the roll-off of the reserves, and there's going to be this interplay between whether or not we get a stimulus package that would mitigate some of the potential losses these banks may have if we don't get a stimulus package, then maybe those lost reserves aren't big enough so that's really where the next crux of the bank trade comes from me, and i think in general this is just a positive move, and as long as you don't get an economy that goes much, much deeper into weakness, then the banks should be fine. >> karen, your bank position is fairly large, so are you hedging that position? mean, i'm just trying to understand if you are worried that we haven't seen the worst of the credit losses because we just haven't seen the worst of the pandemic or the impact on the economy, then how do you protect that bank trade? >> so i think that the banks being at such a discount to the market and such -- they haven't recovered anywhere nearly as so many other industries. i think that that was already reflected in the prices that they were trading. this is sort of a procedural issue about when wou

a co-founder of the java keith nature reserve. she has been working closely with the local authorities in the area get everything, everything that could happen to what is happening at these well being a lot of things are being felled. those illegal logging going on there was hunting,, going on. there were porches, bordeaux's, y.-o., some as we demoed almost on this mess, you know, as, as a source you know, support system. i think forests should be utilized. there's nothing that says that you have to completely close upon us and that we would like that. but i think how utilize it, how you manage it, and setting that there's no long term damage to the forest that if and then used to provide the sources. that was it. and so we have also not actually closed the forest, there's no fence that on the forest. it's really a contract that we a social contract that we have of the community is to say you can continue to use it in a sensible man up. but at the end of the day, a good thing for us with my life is what is going to bring you the e

federal reserve. a majority of americans don't have a lot of their wealth in equities we see right now record equity markets and 28 times forward earnings in the s&p 500 so this income divide is only being exacerbated by national lockdowns which really disenfranchise the poorer segments of the population. many students in the poorer segments are absolutely disappearing from the education system, exacerbated by the federal reserve policies which are doing nothing but enriching the major corporations while small mom-and-pop shops are going out of business. charles: people are seeing it. kathryn, steve, danielle, see you a little later. fantastic insight. i really appreciate it. i know the audience does as well. >>> you know, could it be, folks, lawmakers, white house everyone involved finally getting together with a second round of stimulus? this to help americans right before christmas? i will ask florida senator rick scott about that next. restaurants and other businesses have had enough of lockdowns.

the federal reserve said, we want to have a target of 2% inflation. a tax.ly inflation is what they are saying is we are going to tax americans next year at 2%, wink, wink. you won't see it. we will adjust it. it is benefiting, the stock market is at an all-time high and people on the lower rungs are getting squeezed out. rather than the fed shooting for 2% inflation target, how about we go back to the constitution at a 2% excise tax that will allow congress to distribute the funds and it would be in line with our constitution. how about we get back to the constitution? host: this is allie from rochester, minnesota. caller: good morning. host: go ahead, sir. $600 would definitely help my family .ousehold gone withinbably be a day. folks,s listening to most of the people it looks like don't need the check, or will save it or pay debt. that shows that people are not in the same situation. it would be better if they surveyed the people before they theyhe checks, or maybe if would only send stimulus checks to the people who were unemployed at this time. g

our 1st stop today is at a nature reserve dr e. in the himalayas a privately owned job a kick nature reserve was neglected and full of weeds just a few years ago now it's been restored and not just in line with the endemic ecosystem and these conservation efforts are even creating jobs for locals who are forced to look for them elsewhere is this a feasible model to look after the trees let's find out. untouched forest is becoming an increasingly rare sight. in such a forest why his life is allowed to roam free. because of green cover left undisturbed by human activity. over the past few decades the strain on forests has reached disastrous proportions the changes upset delicate ecosystems and diminish wildlife habitats at the same time the poorest part of the population dependent on forests bad most of the brunt of the changes. a lifelong resident of the java kids village near the mystic of a town of land or even that i can province 40 year old levy has always relied on the surrounding forest for had daily needs it provides fire woo

dollar was past its purpose it no longer served a purpose as a reserve currency and his idea was for a digital currency which is i mean larry fink he was just talking about big point he was talking about decline and then said digital currency probably because he knows his audience is mark carney and mark carney is the one who wants c.b.c. the central bank digital currency rights to be clear of the u.s. dollar in the british pound and the euro are currently digital currencies that they they are already digital currency so they say well do we need a digital currency that's like saying like oh you know it's raining outside is it really raining outside you know yeah it's our it's a digital currency already they haven't made the intellectual elite yet to understand what bitcoin is all about we're big coin has its own monetary policy built into the protocol that's audited every 10 minutes i mean they're still trying to audit the fed and in america you know paul ryan has been talking about this for decades and they still haven't gotten to the fed and they still have no idea what's in there

located in northern guatemala, the maya biosphere reserve is the largest rainforest north of the amazon of the world's most important hotspots for biodiversity. it also was once the heart of the maya civilisation. today, hundreds of houses, fortifications, temples and other structures lie hidden beneath the jungle. i like this part. but some archaeologists are determined to change that. they've devoted their careers to getting the jungle to give up its secrets, and new technology has revealed that, despite decades of work, they have only begun to scratch the surface. there's a deep hole, and that's where they're digging right now. car starting. don't let me down. the maya city of holmul has been an obsession of archaeologist francisco estrada belli's for the last 20 years. he calls it the gift that keeps on giving. let's try not to get stuck. yeah. in recent years, his work has been aided by the use of lidar, a technology currently transforming archaeology. i've come to holmul, on the border with belize, to learn more about what estrada belli has discovered. this was one of the most pop

another major challenge for the maya biosphere reserve is illegal logging.re reserve is illegal logging. when thejungle is clear. it doesn't just affect the animals in the rain forest, but also the sites, which are often irretrievably damaged. loop to the sites where the marijuana was growing and then collected to harvest. several illegal activities are still going on in guatemala. illegal lock being, which is not a problem here specifically, but in other regions —— illegal logging. drug trafficking. we're fortunate here. airstrip from columbia, to go across from mexico and there from the us. they burnt all the forest. this area has done much better because it was given concession for sustainable logging. in the last 20 years, the local communities have stopped the drug trafficking, the land invasions, the dufour station, and that's why sites like that are recovered by force —— the deforestation. we think what we have in place here works much better because the local communities are empowered and have an incentive to protect the forest. for as long as i can

today the committee convened to conduct oversight over the treasury departments and federal reserve's pandemic response. this pandemic continues to have a terrible impact across the nation. there've been over 13.4 million coronavirus cases in the u.s. which is almost double the amount of cases when the secretary and the chair last testified in september and over 267,000 people have lost their lives to the virus. hospitalizations and deaths are surging as the crisis spirals out of control. small businesses are shutting their doors permanently and millions are at risk of eviction, foreclosure and being laid off. a historic number of americans resoundingly voted for a new direction last month overwhelmingly voting for president elect to joe biden and vice president-elect harris. the american people have made it clear they want a government that will fight this virus and protect their families in a small businesses from the impact of covid-19. so, on a call last month many committee democrats committed to not going home until we have a deal or stimulus package that is desperately needed a
