ben: it was messaging. that particular media appearance was one of the most effective pieces of media work we have seen in a long time. howie: but you can't call it a press conference. ben: some of the objections of him not taking questions were overblown because he took lots of questions the day before and that morning. howie: the press conference went on for 45 minutes. but you can't accuse this president of ducking the press. capri: how many times you see these meetings. look at we did with chuck and nancy, owning the shutdown. he doesn't duck from the press. this was more about messaging and trying to get the spotlight off nancy pelosi. howie: the "new york times" exposes allegations of sexual harassment in the bernie sanders campaign. got directions to the nightclub here. and if you get lost, just hit me on the old horn. man: tom's my best friend, but ever since he bought a new house... tom: it's a $10 cover? oh, okay. didn't see that on the website. he's been acting more and more like his dad. come on

i agree with ben's point. the president is going to blame those liberals in congress and the liberal judges. it's probably going to be the judges that will give him the much harder time under that emergency than liberal judges will. >> we have time for one more question. we're going to take it from this woman right here, which is to say one thing that will be important to watch other the next three weeks is the degree which the deal to reopen the government specifically sort of cleaved the homeland security security negotiations into something different than the negotiation first the rest of the government. so if you were to ask me do i think there's a chance that v.h.f. shuts down again versus the rest of the government, that's a legitimate possibility in part of what they agreed to to reopen the government was specific negotiations on the homeland security bill and doing something about everything else. so the last question. >> that hit the airports, right? >> it does. > which is really problematic. >> that'

so to ben stokes, l 2018 months.ess forgettable for the all around her, he seems intent on making headlines from the right reasons this time around. although west indies are not what they once were, the new generation can cause damage, england were being worn. that is exactly when you should hand the new ball to james anderson, and he did what he does. the pivotal scout was that of frost and chase, the first of four wickets to fall for just 2a runs. and wendy's were blown away by anderson, though the final say on the day went to ben stokes, marking his 15th tenth —— the day went to ben stokes, marking his 15th tenth --15th the day went to ben stokes, marking his 15th tenth —— 15th test and style to put his country in control. manchester city are unsurprisingly through to the league cup final after completing their two legged semi—final against league one burton albion. pep guardiola's men lead nine nil from the first leg at the etihad. that saw eight changes and city's youngest eleven in over a decade. the holders co

ben ando, bbc news.est that britain "can turn a corner" if parliament backs her brexit deal. mps are due to vote on the prime minister's withdrawal agreement this month, after a vote on the deal was postponed because of fears it would not get the support of the commons. in 2019, the uk will start a new chapter. the brexit deal i have negotiated delivers on the will of the british people, giving us control over our borders, money and laws. it is good forjobs, protects our security and works for the whole united kingdom. in the next few weeks, mps will have an important decision to make. if parliament backs the deal, britain can turn a corner. the referendum in 2016 was divisive, but we all want the best for our country. 2019 can be the year we put our differences aside and move forward together. into a stronger relationship with our european neighbours and out into the world as a globally trading nation. important though brexit is it is not the only issue that counts. when each of us looks back on 2019 it

on the taper tantrum, ben bernanke said it is a communication issue. it's not a communication issue it's a market issue. and the issue is markets often behave like children they want things when they want them and if they don't get them right now, they throw a fit. markets have always been rather childlike. i think jay powell understands you need to pay attention in that regard but not necessarily putting models to the premier. i liked the inflation implications, everybody discussed. he pointed out wage pressures and price pressures are weak linkages he didn't say it from a modeling perspective, he said it from a simplistic observation i think that's what the market is looking for he seemed open minded to policy, and i think that's what was driving markets. >> rick, really basic question here, given that fact and given the fact he seems to be signaling more flexibility, the fact that they're open to changing that policy based on the data if and as needed, why exactly are treasury rates higher now >> reporter: i think treasury rates are higher mostly be

i agree with what ben and janet said. and then there was a great deal of back and forth, do other countries have freedom of monetary policies, a lot of research has been done and much of it by safe people and the best thing we can do is to be as transparent and predictable as possible and a strong us economy is good for the world and sometimes the role of the us monetary policy is exaggerated. notwithstanding that sometimes there's a real effect. and the exchange rate. >> for much of the rate moderation era, that is successfully keeping inflation low but often at the cost of tightening monetary policy and the brakes on the economy when the job market is getting hot. this has the effect of helping asset prices during periods of easing money but taking things when not letting the economy heat up enough to benefit workers and labor when things are going well. the idea is this is contributing to lack of bargaining power by labor and inequality. you have been part of the fed longer than the others. do you worry there's been a

ben, thank you very much for being with us. appreciate it. >> thank you, rachel. >>> this bombshell pushback from the special counsel's office on "buzzfeed's" bombshell reporting has created a bunch of questions. i mean, you heard me discuss some of them there with ben in terms of those reporters standing by the story, what he says that these reporters absolutely pushed our understanding in terms of what the trump tower moscow scandal is. it's true they did the definitive reporting in terms of us understanding how big the trump tower moscow project was, how long it went on for. it was "buzzfeed's" reporting on that story that i think laid the groundwork for us to understand what anybody was talking about when michael cohen turned up in court in november to plead guilty to lying to congress, related to his previous testimony about trump tower moscow. i mean, all of these things are moving parts, but these have proven to be well-sourced reporters who have been ahead of everybody else and whose previous reporter has been borne out
