for architect thomas fink this was an exercise in how to save space.we use the world's thinnest walls he's probably covered up panels such as six said to me just pick six in the middest i'll get. polycarbonates or thermal plastic polymers that are used in a wide variety of applications there are durable planting some grades translucent. i didn't ask i'm talking during the first couple of days the sun was shining and the front of the building kept making these popping noises because the material kept expanding and contracting and if there's it's kind of spooky at first but we got used to it pretty fast. to. think family home as a total floor space of one hundred forty seven square meters private rooms on four levels we kept construction costs low. to the essentials. that meant no expensive windows on the long side walls and no expensive interior construction just concrete and cement based flooring it looks like a work in progress but it's not use the body cavazos to frame the surrounding countryside so the landscape is like a big old decoration shop and

leaders on the trade raw been going on for some time about one they agreed to a temporary freeze on tara fink races leaving them at ten percent instead of raising them to a hefty twenty five as expected but the freeze expires after what three months or so if both parties are unable to reach a further agreement on top of the beijing has pledged to buy more u.s. projects china especially is under long though told me he died off there will be a lasting solution to all this. it's called the truce but even if it was all agreed in say the thirty days. between united states and china. to carry on for. much more as they. close of all china has been exporting much much more all of us to the united states. something like five hundred billion is the united states has been expended as feeding exporting to china hundred fifty but the trouble is that lots of things carnival's the bible states including high tech. technology in reply. to one strategically but that's precisely. the so china so straight about imbalances we're going all in but i was saying it's more than just. all right let's get a move on to

for the stifling of creativity they go hand in hand totally secret i don't know what address a case fink and you know he's talking about it's a fantasy show and use fantasies it is that you will say it because it's certainly not my kind of fantasy now you know changes are happening and it's time to become more diverse fleet's why can't we have a company that caters to skinny thin women and and we do have companies that cater to heavier women so so should they be protested because they're not catering to women i mean the whole thing is just saying when you think about it look around one's different you know ethnicity age size just get up there and start being inclusive of everyone i mean you're selling your brand to literally everyone now on the story so come on be inclusive. about halfway through the program here on international many stories still coming your way we're getting reports now of intense fighting in the yemeni port city off today despite a recent cease fire deal the latest on that in just a moment. i've been saying the numbers mean something they matter the u.s. has over one

to govern a higher level so now i'm starting at the beginning again is tough in terms of aftercare finke yes more can be done but the club is not a criticism they they just they're not doing enough at the moment to resume says she's doing more than any previous prime minister about mental health of the same day in the professional footballers' association saying it's seeing a rise in mental health issues in the game how do you explain the difference i've only looked at the surface level of augusta what services are out there but my personal gripe is that when we speak about mental health mental illness so there's a mass education when it comes to mental health because people say mental health speak out i don't really see anything happening with. in schools i see a lot of schools who cannot afford mental health services so you have some schools that have counselors some don't i personally do counseling our school on friday and it blew my mind to the stuff that kids are going for it made me think of when i was in school i think what was it going for because this is just one school that i'm

michelle: we have seen larry fink and jeff bezos.ause jamie dimon is the last man standing from the financial crisis, he is an obvious target for a lot of these protesters. vonnie: there is a link to the financial crisis and to occupy wall street as well. it's not for no reason you are drawing this comparison or parallel. some of these protesters don't just want help, they want atonement. michelle: there's some groups who have looked at income inequality in new york and they want jpmorgan to atone for some of the ways they say jpmorgan has impacted the city. more than just an apology, they want jpmorgan to provide reparations. vonnie: give us some of the causes they are protesting. michelle: a protest against private prisons and jpmorgan's financing to groups. and climate change. like transcanada that helps finance the houston xl pipeline. income inequality which is the new economy project i mentioned. vonnie: how long will they continue this if jamie dimon isn't willing to do anything, and he is clearly not. has anything changed? wa

. >> double dealing, but a spy and a fink. it's very bad to be a fink and a spy. is when did the mueller people find out? if they found out in time, did they do anything about it? since they knew he was feeding information to other people, did they feed him some information that affected trump's answers to his questions? how exactly did that work? it's just a big gaping hole here. it's fascinating. >> matthew? >> yeah. that's a great question from cynthia. i wouldn't begin to want to speculate about the answer. one of the most interesting things for me in this filing, ever since mueller came in a couple weeks ago, tore up the cooperation agreement and said that police repo that paul manafort has been lying, what has he been lying about? has it been his personal lobbying issues or was he lying about things relevant to the president and things relevant to the russian investigation? last night we found out the answer was all of the above. he was lying about his own personal financial dealings but also his contacts with the white house and he was lying about his conta

lawyer because if you do see if you can call a neutral finks human will plus the donkey tapos you couldn't. if governments had to bail out the banks it was because they could not be allowed to fail since those banks are us they are the accounts of millions of citizens we are caught in the debt machine. the economic crisis and the government bailouts of the banks led to a spectacular increase in public debt in iraq the deck machine spiraled out of control. the first country to declare bankruptcy was greece in november two thousand and nine the newly elected prime minister george papandreou revealed the real figures that had been hidden by the previous governments greek public debt had reached one hundred twenty nine percent of g.d.p. well above the sixty percent threshold set by the master treaty. he asked for help from europe. now you do from a good to see most obvious addendum as in every break you. can enter will be easy to miss and his most ethics is one reason. that announcement was like a bolt of lightning striking. the german chancellor weighed in on the question of did in my own tow

the not just jamie dimon, story points to jeff bezos the cross hairs larry fink.even more influential. shareholder. >> it has become an issue with some of the providers. been saying, have there's giant shareholders in lot of these company. but it's harder if the index players. in some ways, they have certain basedies in their index cap.rket does.i wonder what jamie he kind of wants to. does he hold back? thee does hold back most of time. which is impressive. jamieally if you know dimon. he goes little bit on the defense. there's an anecdote in the story about how he did shut down one protester. said you need to go to south bronx. considering anow special surveillance program. what would that look like? it's a little big brotherry in terms how it reads. of detailt a lot about what exactly they will be doing with it. theink the take away is fact that technology could be the leverage that companies need. we're seeing so many more companies become so global. one of the risks is that you don't have your finger on the pulse in each little office all around the world. pr

several years, carl icahn talk about passive investing and etfs and famous exchange he had with larry fink over that issue. it's something to keep an eye on >> if that's not what we're supposed to do i don't know if investors have any other idea. this is the major conclusion of the last quarter century great stuff. thank you for bringing that to us >>> jeff gundlach said we're in a bear market and the fed shouldn't raise rates. he is right? is he wrong? what doe it mean for your investments. we'll get some advice up next on "power lunch". what do you look for when you trade? i want free access to research. yep, td ameritrade's got that. free access to every platform. yeah, that too. i don't want any trade minimums. yeah, i totally agree, they don't have any of those. i want to know what i'm paying upfront. yes, absolutely. do you just say yes to everything? hm. well i say no to kale. mm. yeah, they say if you blanch it it's better, but that seems like a lot of work. no hidden fees. no platform fees. no trade minimums. and yes, it's all at one low price. td ameritrade. ♪ ♪ there's no place

things because they've become so important in corporate elections they're being more forth right larry fink'sting is a must read everyone wants to know how blackrock is going to vote that money. i would say we're better off telling retail investors at the point of sale, hey, when you make this investment decision, here's how your money is going to get voted >> let me ask you this, though, long-term -- well, actually, let me ask you one other thing where do the proxy advisers come into this? because that's a bit of a separate to date, but it relates to all of us, because there's been a big debate how much power they should or should not have >> right we're looking at this at the s.e.c. a few weeks ago, we did a roundtable and fay bipartisan gill addressing it. one of the things i think we can improve before having to do anything on proxy advisory services is just let people know how the big guys are voting. the concern about iss and glass lewis, they decide too much. if that's your concern, you want to know how blackrock or vanguard are or are not following those guys >> is there a fight here

. >> andrew's going to be very sorry he missed this, but i don't think it's the same as the larry fink. >> this is different can you distinguish it from socially responsible virtue signaling investing which we see a lot of now >> yes so i haven't studied esg in depth, but i'm skeptical of it i think it's basically a fig leaf that kind of allows companies to just take a checklist and tick the boxes and keep doing whatever they're doing wrong. >> that's cold but i like it. >> we live in a world that's dominated by checklists. right? this is the influence of lawyering, you know, not only in america but everywhere if you just -- you know, you have enough paperwork to do something, you absolve yourself of responsibility. nobody can tell who ultimately is responsible for things. that i think is -- i think esg probably has a lot of elements of that in it. so i'm not talking about esg >> i mean, the greatest case to use is -- i mean, there are pharmaceutical companies that have cashed in on opiates. which, okay. so i see that -- i mean, we'd all like to short companies like that but is it the
