brennan: the buyback was one of the more positive things. goldman made a couple of positive points, one was the buyback. they came out today and said it would be a $.7 billion so that is constructive -- $8.7 billion of that is constructive. they said that excluding commodity losses in the ficc line, they are looking at about $1.6 billion revenue figure per quarter whereas the reported number is $1.4 billion. they have got about $200 million or so of inventory losses in the commodities business today. if you use that as a starting off point, consensus figures next year or not at all hard to get to. both of those are reasonably constructive. shery: when it comes to return on equity's for banks across the board, the chart 7763 showing we are still below precrisis levels. barsan see those are your in green as opposed to the price of the s&p 500 banks which has been rallying. when can we expect a significant rebound when it comes to r.o.e.? brennan: not in the third and fourth quarter, maybe to some degree in the fourth quarter for goldman. third

so robert, you have robert brennan weighed in last night. here is part of his statement.knee during the national anthem shows respect for the flag and for all those who fought and died for it and at the same time concerns about problems within american society that need to be addressed. pejorative and caustic comments about the practice show a disregard for one of the most important foundational principles, freedom of expression and unconscious racial and class by bias within our society. so who do you think is winning this debate? >> let my say amen to director brennan. what he wrote is exactly what this conversation is about. and i said this before and i'll say it again, what we as a society are doing is we're falling into a booby trap. this is not about the american flag. this is not about anyone's complicated relationship if they had one with the national anthem. this is about "black lives matter." this is about colin kaepernick doing what he thought was making a statement. so what thes from had done is made it into a political statement in terms of pittingis against

and margaret brennan is with us now. margaret, the administration changed the obamacare rules today, related to birth control. what did it do? >> reporter: well, obamacare requires that employer-provided health insurance cover birth control with a few exceptions. today, the trump administration changed those guidelines and will allow employers and insurers to opt out of that mandate based on their own religious and moral convictions. the rule change full fills a campaign promise by president trump. and the administration estimates that 120,000 women may lose access to free contraceptives because of it. but some women's rights organizations say that number is actually far higher and warn that this could lead to a jump in unintend pregnancies. anthony. >> mason: margaret brennan at the white house. the white house today was talking up a drop in the unemployment rate. it fell .2 of a point last month to a 16-year low of 4.2%. the labor department blamed the loz of 33,000 jobs on hurricanes harvey and irma. a group of activi

our utmost intensity we've got correspondents covering this story from madrid and barcelona paul brennan is in the spanish capital for as we begin with you paul we were expecting to hear from the deputy prime minister of spain worse a government response to this letter going to be. yes the deputy prime minister was due to speak about half an hour ago but for some reason that news conference has not happened yet but it may be the reason why is because the prime minister mariano to hoyle has been called away or has called himself a way up to in the northwest of spain where wildfires are running right at the moment three people have died and that's his home region so he's all right there a bit of an unwelcome distraction i think from the masses of the catalonian independence efforts but certainly that's where he's going and that may be the reason why the deputy prime minister's statement has been delayed but what we have had is initial reactions from the government here in madrid to the letter from the . what they're saying is basically the foreign minister said that the. response does not

in the coming days paul brennan in madrid thank you very much so what is he going to do next let's bring in. sunny of the. court once more what's been the response to what the deputy prime minister i said if any. with as and as you have been any direct response from calls approach the moment war any of the catalan leadership they feel to some extent as if their job is done in answering madrid's desire for there to be some degree of clarification as to whether independence house chile being declared they as you heard there from paul brennan gave this letter on top of the things that we heard there from paul the council on leadership of or were also requested that twelve thousand national police here based in catalonia be withdrawn they also want the prosecution the all talked about there to come to an end to prosecution of those two senior police figures and also to leaders of civil society organizations that have close links to the catalan government and crucially they want to have talks as well let me remind you what happened last tuesday well. took to the stand to declare independence

but for me and here in barcelona it's back to you yeah and we're going to take it to paul brennan now in the spanish capital madrid so how is the government going to be reacting to this letter home. well there is little patience from. the spanish prime minister for the letter from the. leader we are going to hear immediately from mr hoyer but his deputy prime minister is giving a statement in around twenty minutes time and we'll have i can give you an indication that the justice minister has already come out and said that the letter from the man is not valid mainly because it doesn't answer the central question of yes or no as to whether a declaration of independence was actually made back on october the first and as far as the request from tuesday to have these sedition charges dropped against those four people i can tell you that the reason why i'm standing where i am which is outside the national high court in madrid is because those charges have gone ahead the head of the catalan police has arrived here along with three other people on the sedition charges the case against them is
