the late help from a labor helped hubert humphrey. it also created the impression that the election was closer than it really was. the republican, richard nixon, wins and he wins with 43 percent of the popular vote. humphrey had 42.7% of the popular vote. where was the remaining 13.5% of the vote? that went to former alabama governor george wallace, who ran as an independent. there is george. you can tell from the confederate battle flag behind him what his policies might have been. he ran as an independent. he is important here not just for who he is but for what his campaign has. it detaches traditionally urban white sectors to the people who voted for the democrats. white working-class voters in cities. they were attracted to wallace. he did very well in ohio, michigan, indiana, illinois. he got more than 10% of the white vote in those places. westerners like him to, idaho, nevada, they like george wallace. he split the southern vote with humphrey -- excuse me, with nixon. wallace is a former democrat, now an independent. he and ni

helen humphrey is following all these developments from washington for us and she joins us now so helena what else can you tell us about this summary of robert muller's report. it was a very brief summary it was only a full page letter which we received from the attorney general we involved we imagine of course that the justice department. essentially obtained a tome of documents this investigation of course from miller took over six hundred days to complete but this letter says that it found no evidence of weighting collusion between donald trump his aides and russia during the twenty sixteen presidential campaign it did not draw an out right conclusion into obstruction of justice but remember that the president never actually sat down with special counsel robert mueller during this investigation for a one on one interview now miller has also said that he will not exonerate exonerate excuse me the president nor indict him with this report and to critics i think it will be said that he essentially passed the buck to the attorney general william barr who has said also that you know he is

johnson maybe would have been a stronger candidate than humphrey. the only democrat to do anything in the south after lbj or jimmy carter and bill clinton, these are both white democratic governors from the south and they are running atypical years. >> we saw a lot of clips from the phone calls and everything but we know the -- why did you give me this? the controversy around the nixon recordings. i was unaware lbj was recording his phone calls as well. was there any backlash to that at all that maybe not to the nixon extent but anything? >> this is unknown. kennedy, johnson and nixon are the three presidents to extensively record. these are brilliant political minds. they did not realize they created a record that could be subpoenaed. this is prewatergate, these are the president's personal property to do as they saw fit so in theory nixon will destroy the tapes. what johnson was taping for, kennedy taped for historical posterity, to service the basis for his memoirs. johnson wanted commitment from people and wanted a record in case people passed o

s helena humphrey joins us now so helena as we know the u.s. attorney general is now reviewing the moeller report a lot of people have been waiting with a great deal of suspense for a very long time to find out what's in it so when can we expect to hear. the short answer is not today we've just heard from the department of justice who says that william barr will not be handing over his principal conclusions to congress today one would imagine of course that he has got a big task ahead of him reading through that investigation of course it took two years to complete but once he has finished that summary he will hand it over to congress and then it is expected to be a public document that said i wouldn't call that the mother reports that essentially is the bar report because those are his conclusions through the prism of the attorney general and as such there are many calls including from the house democrats for the entire miller report to be made public they've just been on a conference call in fact and they have raised the possibility of using

telling the humphrey will be staying on that story for us from washington d.c. many thanks for now. turning now to some other news and there are regional cruise liner viking sky has docked in the port of moldova after a close call at scene the ship sent out a mayday call on saturday after losing power and drifting towards dangerous reefs passengers and crew have been just barking from be huge shift police say seventeen people were taken to the hospital with injuries about the third of almost fourteen hundred people on board were airlifted to safety while the fighting star was still at sea. the others stayed on board as the ship was brought safely to shore. so if i can sky lights into harbor. the market cruise ship looks invulnerable but the passengers and crew like the sleepy put city of malta is a welcome sight. engine failure in the target waters off the norwegian coast to coast many of them to fear the worst. the roiling city had shaken the ship violently forcing passengers stuck study furniture and falling ceiling panels. norway's maritime rescue service intervened editing half

helena humphrey joins me from our washington studio a letter welcome the u.s. attorney general is reviewing the moeller report what can we expect when can we expect to hear what's actually in it. well essentially the motor report now has moved into another pair of hands that being the attorney general william barr who is currently reviewing it with his deputies the department of justice they are combing through that report and making a summary of their principal points and they're expected to share that with congress michael as soon as this weekend potentially and that could also be shared with the general public will be very interesting to see what they decide to share what they decide all the main findings and certainly william by himself has said that he will be as transparent as possible and it will be in his interest to share as many details as he can because we know that the house democrats are also me simulator to decide their next steps and if they felt dissatisfied with that which is shared they could of course use subpoena power to obtain more details

lance humphrey of usaa asset management, thank you so much.tf industry has something for everyone, including those questioning the integrity of the global financial system. in this week's there is an etf for that, we highlight a gold etf that is tailored for the truly paranoid. there's gold in them thar hills. the catchphrase of the california gold rush of the mid-19th century is fitting for the gold trust etf known by its ticker ounz. unlike the biggest gold fund on the market, ounz gives any investor the option to redeem his shares for gold in big and small amounts. the precious metal is not in the hills, but rather held in london vaults, where there is of course a fee to transport it. taking delivery of the gold is not a taxable event, because investors would be taking possession of what they already own. ounz has an expense ratio of 40 basis points and has amassed $150 million in assets. since launching in 2014, ounz has tracked very closely with the price of gold. the fund gets a green light in bloomberg intelligence's traffic light syste

as ever so is the president now off the hook for that question to washington correspondent helen humphrey. if you're talking about this weekend that it's in the it was a moment of indication for the president and he says this is a win but i think it's important to take a look at the language and they spoke from the attorney general william vonn special counsel. no commission is one thing that said what is said that he did not have enough evidence to rule that there was no obstruction of justice one of the reasons for this likely is due to the fact that he was not able to sit down for a one on one interview with the president during the course of his investigation so what did was essentially people will say is possibly up to attorney general william barr who then ruled that no crime had been committed remember of course paul was handpicked for the post by the president himself and the humphrey in washington now to some of the other stories making news around the world at least seven people have been wounded by a rocket attack on the north east of tel aviv in israel officials say the rocket

we have to say election this time around it's definitely facing a real challenger this time helen humphrey in washington thank you very much we want to take this story now to jerusalem our correspondent tanya kramer joins me on the line from jerusalem tanya good evening to use benjamin netanyahu oh and said he's facing his own reelection bid at home how is his visit with u.s. president donald trump is that going to help or hurt him with israeli voters. well i think for prime minister netanyahu the visit at the vide has a very important and as helena in washington said you know both. very close to have the same style of politics they they understand each other and mr trump is also very well liked in israel if you look at surveys he's considered a true friend of israel showing his strong support not just about by words but also by actions he has recognized jerusalem as a competition of his and now he has recognized the golan heights as israeli territory now for mr netanyahu running the elections at the moment he does that mainly. mr trump as well on social media and by meeting foreign leader

right we want to dig into this a little bit more i want to cross over now to our very own helena humphrey she is standing by in washington she's on the story for us tonight good evening to you helen of remind our international viewers if you would why this is such a big deal when an israeli leader first of all netanyahu when it comes to washington and you know was invited for a two day visit at the white house why is it such a big deal. brant it's always a big deal because the relationship between israel and the united states has long been a special one since the establishment of the state but with trungpa netanyahu we are seeing something which is becoming stronger a closer relationship between the two countries in fact at that proclamation ceremony at the white house today u.s. president donald trump that says that israel and the united states now have never been closer and he he signed off on this proclamation saying to benjamin netanyahu take this give it to the people of israel now this recognition of golan heights being part of israeli territory now from the united states i mean ess

above them are two democratic candidates, hubert humphrey and his vice presidential candidate edmund muskie. and the small image at the top is richard daley, the mayor of chicago. this was a very memorable convention, not for so much of what went on in the convention hall, but the student protests and the police brutality outside the convention. and daley, mayor daley knew it might be a contentious week, and he was right. when he was asked about the chaos and the protesters and all of this, all he could say was, at least no one was killed. but there were many arrests and much heavy handedness from the chicago police department. this is a "time" cover by the same artist that did the rfk, a very different cover, more of a cartouche, it is not a painting. we move from the democrats to the republicans. richard nixon was running again after losing to john kennedy in 1960, and he would emerge the winner. his running mate was spiro agnew. nixon wanted someone who was competent, but he didn't want anyone who would upstage him, and spiro agnew was perfect for that. he was a maryland governor

humphrey has more from washington on that decision to ground seven thirty seven back. after days of mounting international pressure u.s. president donald trump has joined dozens of other countries around the world in grounding boeing seven three seven max aircrafts any of those planes which were in the air at the time of the emergency order to land at their destination where they were grounded and it's certainly an about turn from the white house which had previously said that these planes was safe to fly nevertheless the administration was armed mounting pressure from lawmakers on both sides of the aisle who were agitating for a ban and not burn came the recommendation of the federal aviation administration which said it had obtained new evidence from the site of the ethiopian airlines crash as well as satellite data nevertheless the grounding of this plane model has drawn attention to the close ties between the u.s. president and top executives boeing and reminds us of the fact that boeing is a lot being powerhouse here in washington d.c. now the news will come as a

findings have not been released some details about his report are coming to light correspondent helen humphrey has more on this. what we do know so far is that the special counsel has reportedly not recommended that any more indictments be made so far thirty seven people have been indicted in this investigation including those close to the president paul man a force his former campaign manager was sentenced to prison time as was of course michael cohen his fixer as well now not since the watergate scandal as the american public been so mesmerized by an inquiry all of this sort certainly the president and other high ranking republicans have called this a partisan probe they have said that it's a witch hunt and even if no criminal wrongdoing is exposed in this report what may be exposed are misdemeanors which the democrats may then further investigate so although they say has been a long process in the report now has finally been handed in is expected now to be a far lengthier process now to some of the other stories making news around the world. prayers have been held in the more mosque in chri

lbj disagreed with humphrey. instead, what with the hawks in the cabinet.cularly the secretary of state. despite all the advice of those around him. johnson was the president and the final decision was his to make. johnson chose war. ironically, he died on january 22, 1973. the paris peace accords were signed five days later, on january 27, 1973. saigon and the south vietnamese government fell on april 30, 1975. sadly, what lessons could johnson have learned that would make a difference for the next president? when winston churchill said behind every extraordinary man is an unhappy childhood, nixon comes to mind. richard nixon was far more explicit on the lessons of vietnam. president gerald ford pardoned nixon, it gave the 37th president more time to ponder his administration. particularly, the vietnam war. in his book, on the subject titled no more vietnam's, nixon simply stated the united states had won the war but lost the peace. nixon claimed the media distorted the truth. the antiwar movement was misguided. then there was congress. nixon went on to wr

i washington correspondent helen humphrey has been following this for us helena tell us is donald trump now off the hook. i think it depends on how you define the reach of that hook if you're talking about this weekend and certainly it was a moment of vindication for the president and he says this is a win but i think it's important to take a look at the language in this both from the attorney general william vonne special counsel. no collusion is one thing that said miller said that he did not have enough evidence to rule that there was no obstruction of justice one of the reasons for this likely is due to the fact that he was not able to sit down for a one on one interview with the president during the course of his investigation so what it did was essentially people will say is pos the block to attorney general william barr who then ruled that no crime had been committed remember of course bob was hand picked for the post by the president himself certainly the president faces many of the legal battles any nugget switch. uncovered during the course of his investigation he then distrib

let's talk about this now with helena humphrey who joins us from washington.e saw manafort today put on a show of remorse in the courtroom but it did not seem to convince the judge. helena: no, it did not. mr. manafort certainly resented himself as full of remorse. he arrived in a wheelchair, he was wearing a dark suit. he said i am a shamed of my conduct, i am sorry, he made a plea for leniency. in the previous sentencing a few days ago, he did receive a lenient sentence. that received criticism that the privileged are dealt with in the u.s. legal system differently to those who are not privileged. certainly what we saw today, judge jackson said that you appear to be sorry that you got caught, and that remorse did not move the needle much. what certainly certainly did not help his case is he is guilty of witness tampering. essentially speaking to witnesses, trying to craft their testimony while he was under house arrest, underwrote, and -- under oath, and that does not make a compelling case for remorse. brent: there is still the chance that president trump c
