did they kill us what did my husband do wrong my sons showed me internet videos of a mean ians killing hostages how am i supposed to know if my husband was also killed in that way or if they tortured and murdered. such videos were also made by syrian troops both sides have been accused of war crimes the hatred runs deep the fighting in this recent war was so bitter that burned bodies of i mean in soldiers are still lying in the back of a truck painted crosses the way to the dead in another ghost town from the 1990 s. . hamlet walks through the ruins of a form a mosque. that was the minaret as big as the one at the amenia it's destroyed it the mosque was very big and that is what they have done to it it is in complete ruins. the picture. on the edge of the rubble lies the former headquarters of the emini and troops here now it's on to a siri control and it is the victors who wants to set the rules now. as our president said the armenians can live together with us in our country as citizens of our country under our flag with possible it's possible. but living together is not an option at the moment t

still with us is ian harnett. 10 days to go. no deal insight. how positioned ahead of the 31st? ian: we are still underweight u.k. we see there being significant currency risks around sterling, and you get some support because of the international nature of the headline index, the ftse and the k, the broader u.k. equities and the short-term outlook still looks damaging for us. even though valuations look attractive, we are not going there yet. we still think there's a lot of risk ahead of the next few days. let's look at the ftse 100 composition. clearly there is a domestic part of it, around 50%. then there are a lot of oil stocks. you talked about the idea we should be looking at commodities. is that a reason to think about the u.k. is a commodity play or more specifically the ftse 100, which in many respects does have a big international part? crisis,il the recent the best indicator of u.k. earnings was iron ore prices over the last decade. that gave you your best need. that has changed in the last year or so. we are very exposed in the ftse 100.

protection standpoint which is the other mission of the federal trade commission >> so, ian, once you have that information, howo you determine if that hurts the user i think most people on the apps and use the big tech companies don't are problems with it because they can't see a lot of what is going on in the background >> yeah. and there are two aspects to this the first is was it actually a choice did the consumers make a choice to give over that data was it a knowing acceptance that was going to be used and then the second thing which comes in much more on the competition standpoint is how is that data either a barrier to entry for other companies or is it used or abused in order to make sure that competitors either can't get access to necessary data or are closed from certain markets because they don't have similar data set? so we're looking at it from user standpoint and from a competition standpoint >> in terms of the impact on the consumer, what do you mach of facebook's argument that taking away ad targeting would mean that companies shift more to subscription models or have more paid add ones and tha

we are definitely somewhat closer to the breakdown end of that spectrum, but we do not know how close. and as ianday that borisjohnson report, it is possible today that boris johnson and ursula report, it is possible today that borisjohnson and ursula von der leyen will come to the conclusion there is no point carrying on, but they are too far apart and the gap can‘t be bridged and there is also the possibility they will think two and a half weeks until the end of the year, what is the point in stopping talking now? the instinct in brussels is always to keep talking. we talk about these things coming down to the wire. in brussels, when you come down to the wire, you start stretching the wire to see how far it will go. there is a possibility that will be the outcome of today. it might stop today but it might not. i suppose the problem is there are deep philosophical divide is especially on the issue of competition and level playing field. the point seems to me that this is a combination of that sort of philosophical issue, cultural issue, and practical economics. from the british point of view, if

is that how this could pan out? >> iancertainly could come up that i would look up for who is up for reelection in 2022. the last thing they want to do is give their opponents fodder for early attacks going into the midterm elections, which should be advantageous for republicans. i would look to some of those, whether it's north carolina. i know obviously susan collins and mitt romney are candidates, as well, they'd be interested to see. and pat toomey in pennsylvania paid he's retiring, what's he going to do? is a bit of the wild card, as well. >> kennedy: there are so many wild cards. they wouldn't let them into a vegas casino. we got much more including president trump headed to georgia ahead of the runoff election and the historic battle for control of the senate and the world, as democrats announce record-breaking hauls of cash. will it matter? are panel debates. in california seeing a massive surge in coronavirus cases. the situation is so bad, some are being treated in hospital tents, holidays, and offices. why is t

. >> i was struck by the book ian, i'm always struck by how an author chooses to open the story. it's a big story,more on the western pacific 4445, the biggest naval battles of all time . jampacked with action and valor and heroism of the resort you begin this book an interesting way . in the realm of politics and i'd i know it's really nicely done so looking especially fdr anddouglas macarthur , why open the book that way and i'll ask even expand on my question. it's a bit of a risk, you have to know a lot of people are opening up because they want to get the take. why open with a sort of survey of theus political scene ? >> there's an expectation that there's going to be led in the air at least by the second chapter and in this case you have to wait until thethird all 100 pages into the book . it is an unconventional wayto begin a work of military history . i think i thought was i had a little bit of latitude in this case, a third volume of the trilogy and a lot of people who are reading it have read the first two are either committed to read it or not basically my observation

it is how those two projects can best be integrated to boost the economy to the north of the country. >> the leader of the s&p, ian blackburn. >> thank you, mister speaker. it was confirmed that northern ireland gets access to the eu single market and this is great news for businesses in northern ireland or scotland, meeting with the hardest of brexit. it is good for that result. why is scotland being shafted by the doubledealing? can the prime minister explain why this is fair? >> in common with the rest of the united kingdom scotland wi benefit in substantial access of powers for scotland and benefit from the regaining of money, borders and the gentleman opposite, scotland will take back control of colossal quantities of fish. people of scotland deserve to exploit to the advantage of those communities. >> ian blackburn second question. >> a total -- scotti interests -- northern ireland gets the customs union and we got nothing. how damaging it would be to deny scotland access to the eu whilat the same time delivering it from norther ireland. such an act would undermine the integrity of the united kingdom. they s

let's discuss the changes and how they might affect uk businesses. with me is ianfacturers. ian, perhaps i can start with you. less tha n ian, perhaps i can start with you. less than 20 minutes to go, and here we are. how are you feeling right now? well, i'm nervously awaiting the fact that actually, certainly nothing is going to happen in the next five hours because calais is shut until five a:m.. next five hours because calais is shut untilfive a:m.. so, the boats won't move until then. that may be sensible because it gives everyone a chance to get to grips with all this, but the movement that chris was speaking about between gb and andi was speaking about between gb and and i will start immediately at 2301. will there be the delays eve ryo ne 2301. will there be the delays everyone has been talking about? we had a bit of a taste recently with the coronavirus restrictions. yes, i think the dover event last week were a terrible lifting of the curfew, if you like, of what might happen —— lifting of the curtain. a lot of the checks coming at 2301, all sorts of paper

ian lee reports. >> reporter: scientists at this lab in england are trying to revolutionize how bones heal. >> a lotand error and testing. >> reporter: the team tested a futuristic bandage that heals bones when implanted onto the site of the fracture. >> we can apply them on the really large bone fracture and we see that they promote bone repair. >> reporter: the bandage is coated in a protein that enhances the bone's natural ability to repair which speeds up the recovery process. scientists found the bandage works even quicker when loaded up with a 3d collagen gel with bone cells grown from a patient's bone cell. >> we culture the stem cells on the bandage and wengineer a 3d tissue within one week. >> reporter: this image shows how quickly the bandages work. on the left a broken bone without the bandage and on the right with it. scientists hope to expand the technology to treat more than just broken bones, taking aim at damage anywhere in the body. >> to target stem cells within injury sites of other organs and see if they can also promote the repair of that tissue. >> reporter: the treatment has a

wo i thought thed needed something to feel good about, and ian was a hugpart of that, obviously. that's how it made me feel ppy and i'm really glad that everybody else felt so happy when they watched it. i think they feel how i feel when i watch her dance. you?eporter: and what about what kind of reactions have you gotten since the video has been nst there? it's gotten millf views. >> i get messages from people all over the world, thanking me. it's very inspiring. one lady started doing meals-on-wheels, and he were first week route she started dancing the food up to the door. i know a lot of the messages, i tear up, so heart warming. >> reporter: i just wanted to thank you guys for sharing tt video and bringing joy to all of us that have been blessed to see it. ian simon and david and avalina itlow, thank you so much and happy holidays. >> same to you. thank you so much.o >> thank youch for putting it out there. bye. >> nawaz: finally tonight, we continue a newshour tradition. each year, we have askedhe department of defense and its defense media activity ancy to spread a little holiday che

such eu debt overhang, and such a massive productivity gap, that it is really unclear how we are going to bridge that. ians a great point. one of my core tenets in the market is that longer dated rates are set by inflation and growth expectations globally, and they are not a function of supply and demand, which means to some extent, they are not a function of fed buying. if the fed were to step away, the feedback loop between an increase in higher rates which that would do to risk assets, and then flight to quality i think is the important cycle that i would be watching. i don't think without the fed, you could see 10 year yields above 1.5% without crashing the equity market. tom: i've got to make some money on q1 of 2021. there's three variables in the equation. the nominal yield, inflation expectations, and the real yield. ,hich is the tradable event nominal yield, real yield, or inflation expert patients? -- inflation expectations? inflationnk breakevens, the 10 year sector, that is where you will have a breakout even if the fed is continuing to push further out the curve. expectations are really going

joining me now is ian wright cbe, ceo of the food and drink federation. welcome to you. thanks very much for being with us. howas this banani much for being with us. how has this ba nani stacked much for being with us. how has this banani stacked up lorries affected the food & drink industry? at the moment all we are seeing is a small amount of disruption to supply and is mostly in terms of the ability to deliver stuff on time and in the right place. if this went on for more than 2— four days then we would begin to see this sort of erosion of supply that sainsbury‘s and i think tesco may have talked about yesterday in terms of fruit and vegeta bles in terms of fruit and vegetables like cauliflowers, tomatoes, and fresh fruit. but most of the vegetables that we see on our traditional christmas tables, potatoes, parsnips, carrots, are actually supplied from the uk anyway so we should be fine with those. what about the goods that are kind of sitting there not being able to go anywhere at the moment, how much waste as they going to be? is a massive problem for exports. the food that's going out of the country in t

ian blackburn, second question. northernackburn: ireland gets the single market in the customs union and we get nothing. him how damaging it would be to deny scotland access to the eu single market while at the same time delivering it from northern ireland. davidson even said that such an act would undermine the integrity of the united kingdom. a spokesperson said it would be the end of the union. the secretary said if this were to happen they would all resign. mr. speaker, since the prime minister is ready to sell out scotland's interests with a brexit deal, is he ready to see the resignation letters? the onlyson: reasonable answer to that question is i think it is highly unlikely they will arrive. great injustice to scotland and the future of scotland which will be ushered in the single market of the united kingdom. and i believe, in spite of the negativity i detect from him, i believe that scotland along with the rest of the u.k. will benefit from a strong trading relationship with our friends and partners across the channel whatever the circumstances are and whatever the terms are that we reach tonight. tur

but what we don't register is how these people -- i was talking to ian at the coffee shop yesterday.n't give up when you are a business owner, i have got 11 bucks left in my cash register. i can't make payroll. i can't make rent. people have to present this remarkable face to the public but both business owners i have spoken to this weekend said be transparent, with our employees, with your landlord, with your bank and be transparent with your community because they may come the your aid if they know you are in trouble. >> that's absolutely right. this has been an extremely challenging awful time but i think some good things are going to come out of it. one of them is that transparency has risen to the top. i think it is something we need to keep carrying forward even after this moment. we have found we don't have to hide our struggles as entrepreneurs n. fact when we communicate with our employees, with our teams and when we are open with people about what we are going through and what we need from them they really do step up. i don't think that you can be too transparent during thi

what do we know about how capable it is to -- they are to meeting expectations? ianthey have no track record at all. --y are working with hyper they are working with people who are very experienced with this so you hope things go well. channeltribution is veryups and fedex similar to what happened with pfizer. 6 million doses are going out tomorrow moderna. another 2 million from pfizer. to get to your question it is unknown. the company itself has no track record. the distribution networks which includes the logistics arm of the u.s. military to some extent does have a track record. we will see and hope it goes well. fisher in new york. let's know over to karina mitchell with the first word headlines. >> the operable word is movement. lawmakers clearing the last significant obstacle to a relief bill. that clears the way for an agreement on a plan which is worth about $900 billion to help the american economy weather the storm. congress will add a government spending plan. china is threatening countermeasures against u.s. moves to blacklist more than 60 mainland comp

we don't know how long that lasts and also, you know, we need to rule out the fact very slowly. >> ian has a question. she's wondering about the side effects of the vaccine. >> we know it's going to be more people getting the symptoms you'd get after a flu shot. the second point about that is it's not live virus, not like you're getting covid, you got the shot and then you got diagnosed after the shot. you're not going to get covid headache, muscles, pains. some people will get a fever, those things of things that go away and they're more common after the second shot, not after the first one. >> huh. those are the typical side effects to getting a vaccination. >> yes. >> this question, is it true that the trump administration didn't buy enough. i think she's referring to a one million doses and the administration passed on that. i think the biden incoming administration said that was true as well. ok. so that happened. what does that mean for us now? does that mean we won't get enough until a later date or don't even worry because we have other vaccines in the worse? >> i think it's a

how did you survive back then? well we have been doing this for 12,000 years okay? ian you don't just roll over in bed one morning and say, jeez where i'm gonna get food today? there is a system already set up, generations long before, and people knew how to fish. so we call that 16 13 okay. let's move to 16 14. there was trading going on. first european traders over here, first we quarterback and 15 24, trading early 1600s. back in 16 14 guys, when trading happen, between the french and the dutch and the indians, a lot of beaver pelts. but, what's happened in 16 14, there was an english captain name thomas -- down the coast. remember 16 14. he came down the coast and he went to an area which is called plymouth today. what we call tzatziki. i was a thriving wampanoag community that's how we describe yourself back those days. he went up to somebody said what are you? they probably wouldn't say wampanoag. they would describe themselves as wampanoag speaking community that there from. so they would say i'm up a touch sick, what are you? >> when thomas came he took 19 baton

how long would it have to go on to impact the food supply in the u.k.? ian: if it is not sorted in the next 48 hours, there will be impacts, but it won't be the obvious ones. the traditional u.k. christmas dinner is safe because most of the vegetables that the birdseed for christmas lunch with the turkey are grown in the u.k.. so potatoes, parsnips, carrots, they are all u.k. based. ,hat will run out is soft fruit oranges, and green vegetables that are out of season, and more worryingly for my members' point of view, the circular movement of lorries, was about 4000 trapped on the side of the channel wanted to go to the other side. all of the lori drivers will be in the wrong place next week, and when businesses are stockpiling in the post-christmas, pre-exit week, that will be very difficult. your correspondent maria said there would be some europeans trapped. actually, the vast majority of those drivers trapped on the side of the channel will be from the eu, not from the u.k. guy: is this what a hard brexit looks like? ian: it is lifting the curtain a littl

as ian rightly says, there were no material disruptions that prevented shelves being stocked even in april and may when we didn't really understand hows are free of covid and thus should be allowed to travel across to the eu. so those tools are with us now, and we do believe that they should be ruled out as quickly and urgently as possible to get us over the hump and back to a normal freight. possible to get us over the hump and back to a normalfreight. on possible to get us over the hump and back to a normal freight. on a possible to get us over the hump and back to a normalfreight. on a human level, these lorry drivers are stuck in theircabs level, these lorry drivers are stuck in their cabs right now. in terms of the practicalities, where they go to the practicalities, where they go to the loo and how they keep clean and safe, what are you thinking about there? we are very worried about that, and we are calling on the government again to provide for the well—being and health and safety of drivers who are unfortunately caught up drivers who are unfortunately caught up in this. i understand from the media that the airport site, a ve

how did that happen? >> i have had a long relationship with his partner, ian osborn, and i think that it is an incredibleorically, chamath and ian had been investing in spacs and there were questions by you and others about are they only investing this for the promote, and that's just not the case they are looking at a lot of companies, and they are investing at a $10 level, you know, frankly, you know, without warrants, locked up to the end of the deal because they believe in blade and i can't tell you how humbled i am by the people who participated in this pipe. this pipe was originally $100 million, two times over subscribed we have fully committed capital at $125 million with some of the best names in the industry, so we're really pleased. >> literally as you have been on the air here in just this morning, you're looking at this about 17% up right now you know, we keep talking about ipos and whether companies are actually getting the right value. do you look at that? you have money in this continuing of course, so this is a good thing for you how do you look at the process and a lot of people talk ab

ian baxter if the chairman of baxter freight. can you explain how you are affected at the moment?vance, so once routes, but you need to plan them in advance, so once you are routes, but you need to plan them in advance, so once you are tangled up in it, you are committed, and at the moment we can't get out of that situation. what does that also mean for trucks that need to come into the uk? things that haven't already been booked, i think they are not available, basically. european hauliers are stopping coming to the uk, soi hauliers are stopping coming to the uk, so i think there is an impending disaster on that front, and that obviously means exports will be affected in turn as well, so it's a right model. you say impending disaster — what do you mean? right model. you say impending disaster - what do you mean? the shops are not going to be stocked up with the things that they need, whether that is foodstuffs, flowers, things for the general urinary sales, i think there will be —— the january sales, i think there will be a deficit. there was another potential disaster coming rou

ian blackford. mr speaker, seeking your clarification, i am wondering how on earth the prime minister can talk about and less fish to catch as a consequence of his con deal? first of all, it is not a point of order, we are very limited on time, can we please try and keep to a tight agenda to allow everybody that i'm to contribute. mr speaker, i must nonetheless correct, although that was not a valid point, i must correct him on what he says because, in fact, i must correct him on what he says because, infact, underthis i must correct him on what he says because, in fact, under this deal, we have taken back control of our waters and indeed scottish fishermen from the get go will have access to bigger quotas of all of the relevant stocks, mr speaker and, from the end of the transition period, as he knows full well... of the transition period, as he knows full well. .. sorry, of the transition period, as he knows full well... sorry, sorry. i understand it is an important day and it is important we all get on the record. what i wouldn't like to do is run out of time for the number of times he wants to g

how else to get your attention. but if someone from tech can help me figure out the chat issue, but i just had to chime in here and also thank supervisor fewer and ian for this tremendous work and this legislation is the piece of so many different puzzles that we need to solve in the city if we're ever going to have consistent and affordable housing. and it was a complicated piece of legislation to put together and to make it so that it is easy to comply with, which i believe you've gotten there. and struck the right balance between getting us the information and the transparency that we need in order to craft other types of protections and make sure that corporations aren't taking the very limited and precious housing stock off the market for travellers and to so much more. and you said it better than i will, supervisor fewer, but i just know that this has been foundational piece of legislation that we have needed for many years and it wasn't easy to put together. i love that you are going out with a bang, and i promise you that we will use the information that it brings us for many years to come to craft smart policy to keep our housing crisis und

steve: ultd matsly, ian, what you and the folks there at atilis did was, you know, despite the lockdown, you are trying to figure out howve had something like 75,000 people come back since you reopened not one case of covid heeble traced back to the atilis gym. guesses need to be problem solvers. they look at the restrictions the government puts on them as long as they don't shut them down okay this is how can i safely operate my business so i don't go under. >> yeah. it's about common sense. you know, if you look at the fact that amazon and walmart and all these places are still running, do you think there is not cases linked back to that? no. amazon has thousands of cases reported back to their warehouse and nobody seems to be raising the alarm about that. but, yet, they are actively looking to blame small business. they are really searching for like one case. we have had 79,000 visits as of this morning. because of the very simple safety procedures we put in place, people are safe. and people are better off with their businesses open. people are better off with gyms open and people are better off with churches open.

ian prior on hunter biden. listen. >> $400,000 is a lot of money. he didn't report income, that's a crime. two, what did he do to earn that money? howe need to know. >> sandra: when do we see that change from the media? right now it appears there is one question coming from fox news as we saw in the latest news conference about this. >> i don't think you can anticipate that the media is going to cover themselves in glory. they would rather pretend like this is something that they can just ignore. no questions coming from the people that joe biden chose to call on about this in any context. but i think there is something interesting there about what ian prior was making reference to, the $400,000 not being reported. what was really going on there? $400,000 is a lot of money but something indicative of maybe what we know from those different emails that we've seen. hunter biden was very much trying to avoid trying to make the necessary filings, the legal filings you have to make when you're representing a foreign entity or one closely tied to another government. he talked about this openly within the emails. clearly it was something h

ian blackford. thank you very much for your time. a thought first of all, if you would, on news about the vaccine this morning. howgives hope that all the countries of the uk can get access to this vaccine, that everybody can be vaccinated and it gives us the best hope to come through this crisis, to get back to some degree of normality but if i may say so not just for all of us here but right around the world, those living in disadvantaged communities as well, it is important we share our resources and pool our resources , we share our resources and pool our resources, not just here we share our resources and pool our resources, notjust here but a broad and we can get the uk and globally we can get people through this pandemic into a place of safety and it is fantastic news for all of us. health care is devolved and we heard from matt hancock about half an hour ago saying that the roll—out would start from the 4th of january. is it your understanding you will be able to start that programme in scotland ona similartime to start that programme in scotland on a similar time frame? i'm sure our health secretary will

ian rankin. good morning, lovely to see you both. if i can come to you first, robert, i would like you to tell me what you thoughts of le carre, how importantw who le carre was and will be reading his books. and ona and will be reading his books. and on a personal level, he was the most beguiling, original character, full of charm. it's a terrible, sad loss at the end of this bitter, miserable year to lose a man likejohn le carre as well. thank you for being with us as well, ian. he was a literary legend and i understand you met him on one occasion?” literary legend and i understand you met him on one occasion? i only met him once, at the house of lords, he was being presented with the diamond dagger award from the crime writers association. this is a man who did not accept literary awards that he accepted that one. i was young, i was only published one or two. he had no idea who i was. i used a certain amount of spy craft, i went up certain amount of spy craft, i went up to him with a brochure for the event and said i was collecting signatures for all the right is present to give a memento for the occasion, but really, his was the only sig

ian watson, the deal on the table from the eu remains unacceptable. uk government sources are accusing the eu of being unreasonable and while negotiators have talked about things like howand so that is a major sticking point from the uk side. so borisjohnson has said repeatedly if a deal cannot be found, the uk would walk away and trade on world trade organisation terms. both sides have said today is the day to decide that. that is a big, big moment though. we have seen these talks keep continuing as both sides say they want to leave no stone unturned to actually say we're going to pull the plug, draw the stu m ps going to pull the plug, draw the stumps as boris johnson going to pull the plug, draw the stumps as borisjohnson would have it, that is a big moment and a big decision because while the prime minister said we would prosper mightily outside on those world 0rganisation terms, there will be immediate disruption, the imposition of taxes and tariffs within just a few weeks' time which will cause disruption so to actually take the call and have the moment, it will be a big hole and one that only the prime minister can make. helen, thank you. that's the view from do
