infuriated those protesters katherine sawyer is following developments from neighboring kenya and she said rising tension between the president and it's pretty. threatening to bring down the government. while people are also concerned about the choir lish itself they feel that the president. is not in charge basically because he doesn't control much of their main important institutions like the senate in parliament. president former president joseph kabila square lieschen call the f.c.c. has the numbers is in control of those bodies including provinces he has a majority governors while so a lot of supporters of the past which is the party led by the president saying that they feel that the coalition to see katy side of the choir lucian is in a weaker position they feel that it's a junior partner they feel that former president kabila is a side of the quality show and is the one that seems to be running affairs. iran's total number of confirmed corona virus cases has now passed a quarter of a 1000000 more than 220 people died in the last day which has pushed the death toll up above 12000 as well it is the relaxing of lockdown measures which has seen a spike in new infe

katherine, some of these names look very attractive as investments. your thoughts, are we putting too much open to this? >> i think we are, charles. i think this comes downo the fed. the fed is widening out its asset purchases and increasing them in size. if the market take as swoon, the fed will not allow it to make new lows. you can expect the fed to broaden out its purchases of high-yield bonds, maybe move in even to equities to preclude new lows in the s&p 500. i think the vaccine is in the offing. i don't think it will move too much. if we get, if we do not get the stimuli the markets currently priced in 100%, which means additional fed purchases, which means an extension of the 600-dollar by the end of this month in unemployment benefits, which means additional trillions of dollars in the fiscal deficits, then i think the market could drop but he it is really all about the stimuli both from the federal government and from the all powerful federal reserve. charles: now speaking of covid, in the meantime things have changed, right? we saw thermofisher come out with pretty strong earnings. we saw u.s. home sales increase, in fact the largest monthly i

katherine harge some prompts for trying to have a somewhat nuanced discussion with the president about this. but as we know and as we've been saying for four years, five years, even, it really does come down to president trump's base. and at some point, he has gotten the message that there is a part of his base that doesn't want to engage in this conversation about race that we're having in this country, that there's part of his base that wants to be able to fly confederate flags -- not all of his base. and we also know he doesn't really have a grasp of history of this country. so, i'm not giving him a pass for not really being able to grapple with the issue of the confederate flag and what that stands for, but i don't think anyone is surprised by his answers at this point. you know, i also think the follow-up question for the president, if he is going to keep repeating the phrase freedom of speech over and over again, is do you believe in the freedom of speech and the protesters who have been in the streets talking about black lives matter, talking about our need to reform the police systems in various cities and localities? does freedom of speech extend to people who may not be your sup
