jane: that was andrew harding.frica is seen declines, and europe is imposing restrictions, but in america, neither of these things seem to be happening. cases here are rising at an alarming rate, and in many st, there are new lock downs or mandates even though hospitals are warning they are overwhelmed. in new york, covid cases rose by 60% last week. this is what bill de blasio had to say. >> we do know that omicron moves very fast. we have to move faster. that is why we are focusing even more on vaccination, and we know vaccination helps to address omicron. we are going to see a surge in cases for a few weeks, and then we will see it start to trail off. the answer is vaccination. jane: joining me is the director of the duke university global health innovation center. thank you for joining me. we are just hearing fro bill de blasio saying vaccinations, vaccinations, but we know that around 40% of americans remain unvaccinated or not fully vaccinated. how vulnerable does that make america to the virus? >> i worrybou

jane: no mention of lockdowns. presint said travel restrictions would be reviewed in the coming days or weeks. is that something that you would like to see happen? would that be a point and travel restrictions at the stage? >> i think the u.s. should lift the travel restrictions on africa. they are irrational, counterproductive, and create a negative incentive for countries to come forward and say there's a problem. secondly, there are three things we need to do. vaccinate, mask up, and with more effective in 95 or kn95 masks. if something matters a lot to you, do it. it but is safely as possible. if it is something thats not really essential to you, you can wait another month to do it, better to wait a couple more months because we are in for a hard winter. and we all need to do our part to protect health care workers and hospitals by vaccinating, boosting, and masking. jane: some estimates are that 40 million american have not been vaccinated. how do you persuade them? >> theres no monolithic group. there are gro

jane: good morning.est, we have to bear in mind that there's a lot priced into the dollar. when we look at the money market, it's more than two basis height -- can they do more than that? when we assess that, we have to look at the yield curve. it's extremely flat. that suggests that even though the fed has gotten rid of the word transitory, it still looks -- expects inflation to come back over the medium term. the bond market is expecting that. we can't get too excited about the dollar. what we are anticipating is that for now, into 2022, the dollar remains on the front foot. perhaps pushing higher against currencies such as the euro which have a very dovish center back. as we move into the second half of 2022, the dollar might be finding it a little difficult at that juncture. bullish for now but we do have to bear in mind that there's a lot in that price already. manus: it is very rich. i'm personally hoping that is rich against cable for a whole variety of reasons. you say in the u.k.. i want to spli

it shaped her entire life. >> reporter: jane testified that maxwell quickly became like a big sister,her shopping and to the movies. later encouraging her to give epstein lurid massages that ended in her sexual abuse. jane saying those illicit sexual encounters happened every time she saw epstein over the course of several years. >> this verdict speaks volumes, not just for our client, jane, but for all the women survivor victims of this terrible abuse and violence that was inflicted upon them. this says that their pain, their suffering, has been vindicated. >> reporter: three of maxwell's siblings in the courtroom as their sister learned her fate. maxwell's family standing by her, claiming the government only set its sights on her, turning her into a scapegoat after epstein's death. her family saying in a pstatement, we believe firmly i our sister's innocence, we are very disappointed with the verdict, we have already started the appeal tonight, and we believe that she will ultimately be vindicated. >> i think that anybody who sat and listened to the accusers' testimony -- i'm a dad,

. >> reporter: taking the stand is jane to protect her identity. the first alleged victim to testify in ghislaine maxwell's trial today said she was 14 and frozen in fear during her first sexual contact with jeffrey epstein. she said she'd met epstein and maxwell in 1994 while eating ice cream at a summer arts camp in michigan. telling a packed courtroom that maxwell befriended her, then would sometimes be in the room during sexual abuse that went on for years. she seemed very casual, like it was normal she said with maxwell just a few feet away at the defense table but it did not seem normal to me. jane fought back tears when she described flying from her home in palm beach to new mexico where she saw maxwell and was told epstein wanted to see her. i felt my heart sinking into my stomach, she said, her voice cracking, because i didn't want to see him. maxwell was charged with grooming underaged girls to be sexually abused by epsteinment she denies the charges. maxwell's attorneys have sought to portray jane as someone merely out to collect money f

matt testified right after jane.on the very same danish to that, matt was not cross-examined by the defense. so i wonder if the defense is thinking, wow, is this going to come back and bite us. >> and on the elizabeth holmes trial, she made the decision to testify. ghislaine maxwell did not testify. and holmes admitted to doctoring key documents, using commercially available machines rather than the proprietary technology that theranos proclaimed to have. c do you think her testimony helped or hurt her in the eyes of the jury? >> obviously the testimony of elizabeth holmes helped her because the jury hasn't reached a determination yet. but she didn't have a choice. she had to testify. because only she could be able to avail herself because she tried to say that she was under the guise of another. and also needed to connect herself to the jury in the sense of look, i was a striving investor, i was a business owner, i really believed in my invention and knew that it would make a massive breakthrough in health care. so

jane foley joining us now, head of fx strategy at rabobank.ome out of 2021 into 2022, does this incredible tailwind we have seen from the dollar this year continue into next year? jane: i think it can continue into the initial few months and maybe wait until the fed gets going with interest rate hiking that cycle. we've got your number -- we've got to remember there's an awful lot of good news priced into the markets. since that trend really did get underway in june, june was where the prospect of an interest rate hike in 2022 was initially put on the table. since then, the market has become more and more optimistic about the possibility of interest rate hiking, so there is a lot of good news. that is why we are sort of glued to that $1.13 handle in euro-dollar right now. i think we need this consolidation to get perhaps we need to pull back before the market can really make a decision about do we want to build on those long dollar positions, or what on earth could happen to do that. i think we can have further to go. i am not so sure if the m

they requested jane's testimony. they requested testimony, transcripts from two of epstein's former pilots. so it's clear just from their notes alone that they had been questioning this and, you know, possibly having discussions at length about this particular count. but there you have it, jake. guilty. found guilty on five of those six counts that she faced. >> all right. thank you, sonia. let's go back to joey and jennifer. and joey jackson, let me bring you back. so there were six counts and apparently the -- she was found guilty of five of them. the one that she was not found guilty of related to one having to do with jane and that had to do with enticing a minor to travel and transport a minor. two charges had to do with jane between '94 and 1997. so now that we know the exact details of it, put it in perspective. sounds like the jury, for the most part, believed the four former girls, now women, accusing ghislaine maxwell and accusing jeffrey epstein of these heinous, horrible crimes. >> yeah, that's exactly wh

court room asked jane if it was so bad. at any point, after all this transpired, did she consider taking her own life? and her answer was yes. there were times on the witness stand that she broke down briefly in tears explaining her fear and anxiety of being called by jeffrey epstein to come over to her one of his homes for what she knew would turn into sexual abuse. that went on again in her, in her testimony. for years she was so young at the time, all this happened, she did not even have a driver's license. so in many instances, epstein would send a car to pick her up and bring her to one of his homes or fly her there. now it's going maxwell, it's on trial. so the key part of this testimony is, did glaze maxwell recruit, and then groom jane for this alleged abuse. jane answered very clearly over multiple questions in her testimony. yes. to both of those and not only yes, to being recruited and groomed by maxwell, but also she said maxwell was present in the room or took place or took part in some of the sexual abuse on m

the accuser is going by the pseudonym jane, referred to in court.was first approached by ghislaine maxwell, sitting at a park bench eating ice cream with friends. she was 14 years old at the time. she said it started a simple conversation that ultimately was the start of years of sexual abuse at the hands of jeffrey epstein and at some point, even ghislaine maxwell she said. prosecutors in a dramatic moment asked jane if it was so bad, at any point, after all this transpired, if she considered taking her life. her answer was yes, there were times on the witness stand she broke down briefly in tears, explaining her fear and anxiety of being called by jeffrey abstain to come over to one of his homes for what she knew would turn into a sexual abuse. she went on again in her testimony for years. she was so young at the time this happened, she did not have a drivers license, so in many instances, epstein would send a card to pick her up and bring her to his home, or fly her there. it is ghislaine maxwell that is on trial, so the key part of this testimon

defense tried to undermine jane's testimony from 20 years ago.ry a feel for how dysfunctional or how strange this whole situation was. i mean, imagine you're a houseman and one of your jobs is to call women and have them come a different one every few hours to give epstein massages and go out to the pool and bunch of women without clothes on. i think they're drawing a picture of the culture that existed at palm beach mansion. >> prosecutors brought in an expert on traumatic stress to testify on grooming. how effective do you think that was? >> it's hard to say. she was limited what she could testify to, maxwell's attorneys raised a number of objections about the expert and she never evaluated any of the victims but spoke generally about trauma and how predators groom children. i think it was educational if they weren't aware of what grooming was, not everybody does. but that's what prosecutors are saying that epstein and maxwell did with jane. did. >> they took time, whole process of getting her to the position she would do what they wanted. we t
