well, i've been listening to the speech by frank, fight us by a stone my. our old and new president together with newton meet. now he's a foreign policy expert for the social democrats and i have the opportunity now to discuss on fight. i stand my speech with him. so what did you make of this message that from fight i stein maya gave essentially, directly addressed to vladimir putin. don't underestimate the democracy's, wasn't it high time that such a sentence came from a high ranking german official? well, it was a very powerful speech, i must say. very seldom have you heard of fun for the fun, my distressing feet residency talking so directly to the current 1st in international politics. this was quite a speech i must say. and i think that she has not only chosen to send a very strong signal to flogging approaching over to fries in ukraine. but he has also signaled us german citizens, that his 2nd term will be about democracy, but not only about democracy at home, but democracy abroad. um, so for the 1st time, all federal precedent has entered the fight o

>> interesting point, frank. a number of factors. nfl is coming off a good season.wership in the season was up. the post season. we watched the chiefs and bills that came in at 40 plus million. 51 with the peak the last afc championship game with average of 50 million you have fans returning to the stands in 2021 we saw that throughout the year. you have the more excitement it is more of a normal super bowl last year, they tried to make it as normal as possible. it is not as near to this super bowl it is back in l.a. you have a major market and team the cincinnati bengals the third time they will be in the super bowl might be the first time ever winning a super bowl title you know, you have the excitement around that i'm thinking the bengals will win. i'm rooting for the bengals. it will be great for the nfl to see the team win the first super bowl title we saw when the chiefs won in the first time in a long time in 2020, that generated good ratings as well. i don't know if it will be 117 million, but a lot of people if they get to the 117 million viewership number,

frank passed away last month at 98. now, the story of frank moore is really at least three stories. it is a story about a war hero. it is a story about a natural resources hero. and it is a love story, which is the only way to describe his wonderful marriage with his wife, jeanne, who survives him to this day. so, to begin, frank will always be remembered in our corner of the nation as a legendary flyfisherman who channeled his love of the umquar river into protecting and preserving this extraordinary natural treasure in southern oregon. mr. president, it has been said in fishing circles, and i quote, most of the world is covered by water. a fisherman's job is simple -- pick out the best parts. and my friend frank picked out consistently the best parts of his extraordinary life. and all of us as oregonians are better off for his good judgments about the umqua and about so much else in oregon. after returning to our state from world war ii, storming utah beach at normandy on d-day and later fighting at the battle of the bulge, frank bought the steamboat inn with his wife and work tea

for 5 years, frank boucher stein maya has held german his highest office. he's met royalty and dealt with many world leaders. from the moment he was sworn in 2017, he want democracy was under threat. it wasn't in mood. we must have the courage to protect what we had freedom and democracy in a united europe. this is the foundation we want to and we must defend together dismissal the emitter under for tithing. it in his 1st year as president stein maya played a key role in the democratic process and inconclusive general election left the party leaders struggling to form a government shine maya coaxed them into a coalition paving the way for angle or miracles. 4th term as chancellor or different ro traveling the globe and winning friends for germany, often with his wife al, caboodle bender shine maia, a form of foreign minister in his element. in 2020, he attended the ceremony in israel to mark 75 years since the liberation of the outfits nazi death camp stone. my speech to a link with racist violence to day arrived as a different age. the words are not the sa

frank: that is correct.e have announced our new financial target for 2025 and it is a return on equity at 13%. the previous target and targets we have met one year ahead of schedule was above 10. it is a quite elevated figure. we have firm plans for our financial target for 2020 five and we are determined to deliver on the target just as we have delivered on our previous targets. i would like to come back to -- when we host our capital markets day on february 17. manus: perhaps you can give us a little bit of a sense of what some of those levers will be. are you prepared to exit the markets? are you preparing to downsize the bank in any way, to take costs out? frank: it will be the idea we have building for the last couple of two or three years and that is to grow our income and have a strong focus on costs and increase the operational efficiency while we are working also with our capital base and our capital efficiency. we will continue to be a focused bank and we believe we have quite a big upside. dani: g

script from 0 frank. the election comes in the middle of a continuing pandemic. is this impacting the issues candidates are talking? absolutely. the pandemic is an issue particularly given. so the grease initial successful response to the pandemic compared to other countries. the number of cases here were relatively low. but now you're seeing a search with the alma kron variant spreading across the country quite quickly, right now with the last 5 days more than $50000.00 cases per day. also the other issues of course, housing, the economy in small businesses having suffered because while people are buying things and many south korean electronics products around the world, the service industry is really suffering. so small businesses want to see some more relief from the government and potentially a lifting of the social distancing measures that are really impacting their businesses in a negative way. for frank of the rest of the world to be watching the selection for the direction of, for south korea's po

frank: it's the shortage of housing.e're having a shortage of rental housing and we're having a shortage of homes available for sale on the marketplace. soledad: is there an impact of inflation on housing? frank: what we've seen is that the inflation that we've seen in home prices and rents have made it more challenging for prospective first time homebuyers in particular. because if you're a first time home buyer and home prices are up double digits, they are up 18%, 20% in some markets, and that means the nest egg, the savings that you need to accumulate in order to afford to buy your first home, that's also up 20%. because that nest egg goes to a have some cash in reserve after. so that nest egg has to grow 20% in one year. luck?ad: if you're a first time because, you know, with those increased prices and sort of the increased cost of doing everything, it just seems like -- i don't know what the fix for that could be. is there one? frank: think about the real critical elements that you need to have in your home. how ma

these haven't, and so frank vanished. i admire stands ready to keep offering his healing words if and for more in this, we're going to go to the bonus tag now and talk to our political correspondent nina has a who's standing by, as the voting has been taking place. and in just a quick question, this selection is a little bit unlike previous ones can, can you, can you tell us why? well anti cove it measures still apply. there is a very strict testing regime here. we've all had to be tested. it doesn't matter whether or not you are vaccinated, you still need to have your negative test result to be here. and there is a strict adherence of as sort of distancing rules. and so the members of the federal convention, i walked into that a big hole area and it was interesting to see them spread out over 4 floors. and some of them are also in other committee groups and rooms. so this is something that nobody has seen. so far and it is a, there's police presence everywhere. so anti covered rules very much still apply here. that is no

your thoughts on that. >> i agree with frank that it's fraught with peril.t examples of this is olive north, who testified before the iran contra committee. he was later prosecuted criminally. he'd received use immunity from the committee, and later his convictions were thrown out. the reason being that the court found it was impossible to determine that prosecutors had used evidence that was independent of his own testimony. because it was so public it was impossible to know what people knew before and what people knew after his testimony. so there is that risk that anyone you immunize you may be giving up the opportunity to prosecute them. now, maybe that's okay. maybe there are some people you're willing to give up to get to higher-level people whose conduct is more egregious. but as frank said, i think really important to coordinate that with doj because you wouldn't want to step on their toes and immunize somebody when it turns out they had some very serious criminal conduct you just didn't know about in advance. >> frank, there's so much i want to talk

>> terrified. >> prosecutor franks immediately announced that she would try raven again.r after the judge declared a mistrial, and less than one week before round two of jury selection was scheduled to begin, the state made a stunning announcement. >> -- extended a plea to -- that has been accepted >> the da's office made raven admiral a offer he couldn't refuse. plead guilty to manslaughter, not murder, and serve less than four more years in prison. >> do you personally accept this call? >> yes. >> you are okay with? that >> given the alternative. >> because if he gets try to, get in his acquittal -- >> he walks free. >> immediately. >> this wasn't just any plea raven was offered an alfred plea. meaning he would not be offered -- that did not sit well with prosecutor frank's. >> it wasn't my decision to make. i try the cases, i'm not the administrator. that was up to my boss, and my supervisor. >> why did take the plea? >> i took the plea to get out. to get out. to have a guarantee day to get out, and be with my son. i felt that there was so much corruption, so much lyin

how sad. >> so joyce, as frank pointed out so well, criminality is one thing. but what's trade -- what's tricky when it comes to accountability for something like this? if there is a reason, we will find out. i am sure we do not know now about classified documents, but there is a recent classified documents are classified. and there is a reason that they have to be declassified if anybody can get their hands on them. >> so that is absolutely right. there is so much here that we do not yet know that we do need to know. looming large here is this notion of how did they figure out that they have the documents at mar-a-lago? was it something that got inadvertently packed, and pretty early on, the reached back out to national archives and they have been negotiating back and forth over what had to be sent back? that is one set of facts. i guess on the other end of the spectrum, you can have some sort of an intentional effort to obstruct investigations by holding on to documents. if evidence were to emerge that supported that sort of a construction, then i think we wo

frank, we've seen images of you sitting in a bomb shelter, doing your reporting. are you standing now? >> we're in western ukraine, and what you're seeing is a mass exodus, really, from the country because of all the fighting in the east. and already, the estimates are over 120,000 people have already fled the country. and the estimates, even before the war began was, this could be a refugee crisis of a million to a million and a half. moldova has just declared a national emergency. they have 26,000 people. and so, very sadly, i think, you're just going to see more anre of this as the fighting increases. and keep in mind, the troops, the 190,000 troops we've been talking about on the borders of ukraine, the russian troops-- only half of them have been deployed so far. so we expect there will be other attacks from other directions. >> sreenivasan: what about the people in kyiv that you were reporting around? people who are deciding to sleep in subway stations and bomb shelters and basements? >> it's-- i think that it's been terrifying for many of them. you know, wh

what does that tell you, frank, about the sophistication of this investigation?ouraged to hear this, it's what we used to call the enterprise theory of investigation and today there's all kinds of software that engages in victim analysis and network analysis that can tell you, look, while this guy was talking to this person at this time, this similar conversation was going on here and then they hooked up an hour later. we can tell that through email, texts, et cetera. that's all good news on a level of sophistication. i am with barb though on this pressure concept, i'm troubled actually by the notion the committee might feel compelled to pressure the doj to do the right thing or prosecute what they otherwise would not prosecute. i don't believe that should be happening. in fact, we kind of saw this enterprise theory and pressure thing play out last week when we saw zo lofgren, a member of the community, hint on the air they're considering offing immunity to jeffrey clark. i don't like that idea because it's fraught with peril. you cannot prosecute somebody after

well, frank processed, i, my a does look certain to be able to keep his office here at bellevue palace behind me here in berlin. and he has been the president for the last 5 years, but he is somebody who has a very solid background in politics. so he was german foreign minister. he was also the chief of the chancellor re under chancellor gerhard schroeder. so he's been around, he knows people worldwide international leaders and for the last 5 years or he has stepped away, of course, from party politics. and he has seen himself as a bridge builder in this position as german president. so he sees himself as somebody who can bring people back together when there is a contentious debate, for example, like in the coverage times. or he brought together people from the supporters group and also from the opponents group of cove. it measures to enable them to have a proper and thorough debate repeatedly he intends to continue to do that. also for the next 5 years, he's already identified the topic of digitalization and ethics. so he's spoken out against hate speech on digital platform several t

we'll see if it holds. >> jon, to frank's point, an interesting split screen. of house retirements on the democratic side, but you pair that with what's going on in the senate, seeing recruiting failures after recruiting failures. governors of maryland, governor of new hampshire, governor of arizona so far also not getting in. these are the kind of people that traditionally being very strong senate candidates do not wnt to run in this trump-dominated environment because of the political identities -- >> you're mentioning people who crossed ways with trump. >> right. to me, the house, most democrats acknowledge, is almost certainly not going to go their way, but in the senate, what might give them a fighting chance, candidates scared away by trump and might be some bruising primaries end up with, people too far into the extremes for their states. >> jon, please, take this bigger. that in the hill staff, up on the hill monday, tuesday on the senate side. i interviewed 33 staffers. every single democratic staffer had a mask. every single republican staffer did not

frank, a lot of us have been watching videos of tanks moving closer to the border with ukraine.e the people that you're speaking to today, what are they thinking about this? >> reporter: yeah, i'm here today, hari, at the memorial service, actually, for people who died eight years ago who were actually fighting, being pulled closer to russia by the government at the time, and i'm noticing a change in conversation, and people seem a lot more worried today than they did just two days ago. and, you know, a lot of people say they don't see the possibility of war, they can't imagine a big invasion, but more and more people i'm speaking to today were telling me very soberly, we think there will be war, and that's a change from the way people have been speaking earlier in the week. >> sreenivasan: so, in practical terms, what are these people do in terms of preparation? are they trying to leave the country or go someplace else? >> reporter: yeah, i talked to one woman today who said, you know, she came here a lot, she used to bring her child here. she has a four-year-old boy. she would

so lets dive more in and bring in frank fannon.e travels to the region and has been highlighting the risk of energy security in the region for years. frank, great to have you on. an important voice this morning. how do you see this whole thing playing out? >> thanks for having me on, brian. first, i would like to say how pleased i was to hear president biden's tough language saying that nord stream it will be canceled regardless if there are further incursions into sovereign ukraine territory. ukrai russia has been there. hearing that strong message from the president is important especially since we have not heard similar strong messaging from germany perhaps the german chancellor doesn't want to sound provocative. it is a little late for that with 100,000 troops mobilized. >> i put out a long twitter thread of the basic synopsis of how i saw it we will talk more about that in the show this comes down to the pipeline and energy and money is this ultimately all about the nord stream 2 pipeline >> a lot of it is around the nord stre

frank, what i'm hearing here is members of this canadian protest parroting right-wing talking pointsk organizations. are we seeing a convergence here of sort of white nationalism across the border, under the guise of another vaccine protest? >> so, as i look at what's happening in canada, through a security lens, a domestic threat and risk lens, i see what is a legitimate concern and protest with every right of free speech and assembly that canadians have, that americans have, but i see it morphed into this feedback loop where we may have exported to canada this kind of far-right extremist idea lolg that you are citing that's infiltrating this group, and now, we're in this feedback loop where every night on our right-wing platforms, we're hearing this is support and encouragement for essentially shutting down international trade, the very same people that would argue that covid and all the mandates and masks and vaccines have shut down our economy are doing what now in canada? shutting down the economy by blocking trade routes. so, there's an unreasonableness to this that's morphed o
