i gave it to the deutsche bank. he said we want it anyway. break your deal with the deutsche bank. now, why was, why was winston churchill and england capable of pressuring the sultan in this fashion? i told you a moment ago that the ottoman empire was broke. how broke or they? they were actually bankrupt. and as a result of this, the national debt of the ottoman empire was owned by the international debt commission that controlled taxes, levies, revenues. and if they wanted to charge an extra, charge an extra shackled to cross a bridge, they need to get permission of the bank of london. sale they were at the mercy of the british. 1903, british tell the turks, you've got to break your deal with the germans. up at about 1909 with so much pressure coming in, the sultan finally agrees to break his deal with the germans over a small technicality, all the bribery in the world couldn't stop the sultan of from breaking his deal over a triviality in a contract with the deutsche bank. what did he do? he gave it to the anglo persian oil company, through the pressure of the winston churchill

last night, deutsche welle was on hand to celebrate the launch of its new programming. there's a host of new content coming your way. one of the big highlights -- and all new spanish channel for latin america. among those looking forward to that new programming, international best-selling author and philosopher from the region. >> deutsche welle and mexico issued a joint invitation. prominent guests included the co-founder of the world economic forum. this brazilian writer was also there for a first glimpse of deutsche welle's new programming, including a new spanish-language channel for latin america. that goes on there on february 6. for the director general, it is the fulfillment of a longstanding wish. >> latin america is the continent with the closest cultural and historical ties to europe and to germany. that is why i have tried repeatedly to strengthen our presence there. to build bridges between latin america. the people there and the people here in germany. and now, the efforts are bearing fruit. an outcome to the liking of the mexican president. the leap a cal

we just had ted deutsch here.ss to eliminate or overturn citizens united. your base statement and i think it's dead on is do not think politicians are serious on the issue of money in politics whether it's a republican, a democrat, the president, or the most junior congress person unless they have already actually done something, anything to try to fix it. what could they do? what should be on that list? i mean we talked about the amendment but we know it is a significant undertaking for this country. what could any politician, the president or anybody else do right now to win your confidence that they're serious by doing something to fix it. >> one thing they could do is release their -- an easy initial step, release the people bundling together checks and giving to our campaigns. on top of that all the candidates should be immediately committing to support legislation to require immediate disclosure of all the contributions and all the expenditures going into these outside groups. that is something we don't have

the planned merger between the new york stock exchange and germany's deutsche boerse may be in jeopardy. regulators in europe reportedly plan to reject the $17 billion deal due to concerns about a monopoly in derivatives trading. but shares of n.y.s.e. euronext climbed, as did most other stocks. let's take a closer look in tonight's "market focus." bank of america was the biggest gainer in the dow today. its shares surged almost 6%. its rivals also rose. morgan stanley, goldman sachs, citigroup and j.p. morgan all gained between 2% and 4%. financials got a lift after fitch ratings suggested europe is making progress in solving its debt problems. david riley, the head of fitch's sovereign group, said "the unwinding of the imbalances that led to the crisis is well underway... and the headwinds should begin to ease toward the end of the year." there were also big moves in several retail stocks today. shares of liz claiborne tumbled 13%. the company issued a disappointing financial outlook due to falling sales and the resignation of its chief financial officer. but a different story for lul

barclays and deutsche bank fell more than 4% each. royal bank of scotland, which owns citizens financial, fell by 3.5%. one consequence of the worries about europe is the u.s. bond market rally continues, dropping interest rates down to multi- week lows. the benchmark 10-year government note is now yielding 1.85%, its lowest since mid-december. the buying of u.s. government debt follows a big pop in portuguese government bonds as worries about portugal's finances build. another consequence of european worries? a strong japanese currency. japan has been trying to re- ignite its economy for more than 20 years, and among its most recent challenges has been a very strong currency. a high yen value has made it difficult for japan to increase its exports because of the expense for its foreign customers. the yen has fallen to its low against the u.s. dollar this year, and its lowest since halloween-- the latest time the bank of japan sold yen, hoping to drive down its currency. but since then, buyers have moved back in, driving up the value

if nothing else that's what the american people sent barack obama to deutsch and was put on the back burner. from the political perspective to be its mind blowing there may have been policy reasons and i don't want to denigrate those but i'm here to talk about the politics. final question about foreign policy it's not a foreign policy election. i find the ron paul phenomenon fascinating in part as a student of history, libertarian but i see him like a resurgence of the bob taft way of the party probably due to the fact he probably came of political age when bob taft was running the party. is there a future for that in the republican party? i don't know. i think that younger voters are inclined to be. that is probably true across the generations. we will see what they look like in 20 or 40 years to. >> final question. >> when one hears of the voters talked about the electability as to who they were voting for does it matter? the personal characteristics on the outcome of an election? >> people are saying they want to electability but that begs the larger question, write? no one votes
