kristof: that is all your business news for the moment. back to you. terry: thanks, kristof. let's get you caught up with other major stores around the world. a suicide bombing at a mosque in northwestern pakistan's tribal district has killed at least 24 people and injured dozens more. the district has seen years fighting between the pakistani army and taliban militants. the attack is the latest in a string of bombings to hit pakistan in recent weeks. a swedish court has upheld a detention order for the founder of wikileaks, rejecting his latest appeal. julian assange is wanted by prosecutors in sweden in a rape investigation. he has been residing at the ecuadorian embassy in london to avoid extradition for the past four years. in italy, a funeral has been held for a woman who committed suicide after she was featured in an online sex tape. the 31-year-old fought to have the viral video removed after sending it to a group of friends, and it ended up online. her body was found on tuesday. sports news now, and in the bundesliga, the team qualified for the champions league last s

kristof: thank you. here is language you don't hear often from the leader of a multinational corporation. total political crap is how tim cook describes the recent ruling against apple. they want back taxes claiming the company has abused the unusually low corporate tax rates in ireland. but the top executive claims there is more. reporter: tim cook believes anti-american sentiment is behind the apple probe. in a radio interview, he says he will fight the demand for a $13 billion back payment in court. >> it is maddening, disappointing. it is clear that this comes from a political place. when you are accused of doing something that is so foreign to your values, it brings out an outrage in you. apple has always been about doing the right thing. reporter: the european commission accuses apple of paying 50 euros of taxes for every million of the euros generated. a tax rate of .005%. if ireland allows apple to pay a lower tax, it could counter state aid which is illegal in the eu. apple says it paid more tax

here to discuss nicholas kristof. nick, to you first.you can say about last night's forum in an election which has largely been devoid of policy, at least we are talking about the issues somewhat. what was your take on the forum last night? >> we didn't really talk enough about the issues. i thought it was a little bit of an embarrassment to journalism frankly. first ten minutes of hillary clinton's section was diverted by the e-mails, which were not a new issue or national security issue and there want real follow-up or fact checking. so i hope that was not a preview of what we're going to see in the debates. >> pretty rough reviews in every newspaper of matt lauer. it's a tough job. >> it is a tough job but you had the as soon as he was very focused on his questions and wasn't fully listening to the other person and ready to jump in. we in the media business have to think more broadly about the fact that we're devolving more toward entertainment and i think that matt is very good at entertainment. i think he's less good at internationa

kristof trump is not just another candidate. i have been struck in this campaign like no other by the bias. not the columns. is he a columnist. he can say whatever he wants. the news coverage has been. there was a news articles article this week donald trump whether you think it was serious or not he proposed hits child care plan. this is the story i'm old fashioned, i actually clip it out and stave as preparing for the show this is the news story in the "new york times" front page about donald trump's plan. put up this quote on the screen they dismiss it as a new attempt to court female voters who polls show have been the alienated by his bombast and history of provocative remarks about women this was before they explained what it was or merits or demerits, they said this is a naked political attempt to counter act his bombast. that's a little bit over the line. >> i agree. i would think that you could find polls that will show that a lot of women were offended by donald trump and maybe by certain specific things. i doubt we wi

upending the rules and just kind of throwing out all the rules, not just on transparency -- >> nick kristof today in "the new york times," he's a liberal guy, smart, progressive guy. he said, why does trump get the credit, get the problems for being honest, more than hillary. how can that be? he says, look at all the facts. there's no argument that trump's more honest than hillary. >> i think there's a -- you were pointing to the president's speech. he actually went on a tear about this issue because of the double standards he believes the media are applying to these two candidates, where anytime there's any negative press about hillary, even if it's deserved, it brings up notions about trust and transparency. when donald trump has defied all the rule, and i think it is incumbent on the media, where david fahrenthold has done great work about his charitable giving, and the media needs to press him on that. >> he also just doesn't care what anybody thinks. that's the problem. democrats always seem to care, particularly hillary and these people around her. they get super secretive and i think

we need to kick std trump because we in the press have a patriotic duty to expose him, exhibit a, kristoferal winning columnist journalist as a malpractice to quote each side and leaf it to readers to draw heir own conclusions even if one side ludicrous comments owe it to facts to signal viewing trump as a crackpot then you have to be much rougher on him. >> what about the idea that we as reporters covering the campaign are not supposed to cover the candidates based on our own personal view of the candidate. you have your views and i have mine about both candidates. as we cover the race i was always taught what you are supposed to do is being neutral. people accuse us of being slanted one way or the other. argue. going on here in favor of being slanted? >> i want to make a distinction between commentators on the right who also don't like trump as well as the left who are entitled to their opinions? a lot of people called reporters double as pundits these days. the lines have been blurred. for all of that you see that in people who are editors of web sites, daily beat reporters and what th

it is pretty kristof there. you can shut the ac off and open up the windows because it is beautiful out there. it will be nice and comfortable and throughout the day today we will have plenty of sunshine. temperatures will be cooler than yesterday in the afternoon. we're going to rise into the low to mid 70s for high temperatures. later on tonite temperatures will fall once again into the morning. i will let you know how will those numbers could be going coming up on your full weather forecast coming up in just a that would raise the minimum wage from 7-25 to 10-25 an hour over the next three years. they also removed part of the proposal that would create a cost of living wage increase starting in 2020. supervisor ben rogers the move won't be as hard on small business as some opponents think i'm very sympathetic to the fact that a wage increase you know does impact their profitability but then i ask them do they already pay above $7.25? and every bussines says yes then i ask ok the next step is $8.25, do you pay

. >> new york times columnist nicholas kristof tweeting that the forum feels like an embarrassment toournalism. some guy over at cnn says an unnamed nbc executive called lauer's performance a, quote, disaster. howie kurtz, host of fox news' media buzz. i'll start with this. i am friends with matt lauer and i respect matt lauer a lot. i think he doesn't get nearly enough credit for the tough questions he asks on that show. i don't know, howie. you can't win in this election. you can't win, especially with, with all due respect to our brethren, the left wing press because they want to see you kill trump. and if you try to throw too much shade at hillary, then they want to kill you. your thoughts. >> moderators are big, fat targets these days. any fair reading would say this. matt lauer did a solid job. he threw hardballs at both candidates with one swing and a miss, which we'll get to. a lot of criticism from the left is people who think trump is an outrageous liar and matt lauer should have smashed him to smith reens. the columnists are entitled to say what they want. lauer surrenders

andy -- >> you should also read nicholas kristof's piece today. bakari. >> we know he has a billion dollar in debt. if he wants to refute anything else, he should release his tax returns. that's neither here nor there. the point is that, you know, you can't take somebody who actually negotiated peace along the gaza strip, who actually put together in 120 country international accord on climate change. you can't take someone who was actually in the situation room and actually was with the president of the united states and the vice president of the united states when we brought osama bin laden to justice and say that it's the same thing as firing little bootsy -- not little bootsy, gary busey. i was listening to little bootsy on my way to the studio. and for you to articulate that it is, it shows that the double standard is very real. hillary clinton has to do something amazing here. hillary clinton has to do something amaze because you know, donald trump said that hillary clinton doesn't look like a president, and she doesn't, because the other 44

. >> let me ask you about what nick kristof wrote in the "new york times."was channeling a lot of the frustrations some feel. he said where he shoue should b, not lap dogs. for my part, i've never met a national poll continitician as informed and decent sif as trump. he's not normal. and somehow that is what our barks need to cko convey. he's an opinion journalist, but do you think journalists who try to be fair to both sides are failing by not calling this stuff out? >> i think again the question of donald trump's stability, preparation, knowledge, ignorance if it were that, is a big part of the story. we've never had a candidate before running for president certainly in the modern age who there are serious questions about his stability. >> hold on. are you talking about his mental stability? what are you saying there? >> about his ability to deal with problems in a level-headed way, the problems of the kind that the presidency throws at someone. it's not just about responding. but again, let's look at his record. >> but i can hear trump supporters yelling

"the new york times" columnist nichol nicholas kristof tweeted about the forum, feels like an embarrassmente what the clinton campaign is saying about moderator matt lauer to what she said yesterday about his colleague correspondent andrea mitchell during that plane side press availability yesterday. listen to this. >> i love you, andrea. you are indefatigable. you're my kind of a woman, i'll tell you what. look at this. i know, go ahead. >> reporter: now in fairness to andrea mitchell she was being persistent. wanted to ask hillary clinton a question. i mean, i remember being with her in belgrade. she got on her hands and knees and crawled in between tripods to ask jesse jackson a question. she is nothing if not persistent. but matt lauer really being dinged for not following up on donald trump and correcting him when he said that he was against the iraq war even before the war. even though he's on record as telling howard stern i guess we should go in. but don't forget matt lauer were very quick to follow up on the question on the sexual assault in the military where he challenged donald

nicholas kristof, a sweet guy, columnists from the new york times, his entire column, the last columnhe wrote before the show today was on how the ku klux klan and white supremacists support donald trump. i remember leonard bernstein, the most famous classical musician in america in the second half of the 20th century got on the new york philharmonic, creator of many musicals like west side story, got on tv before ronald reagan, if ronald reagan is elected the ku klux klan will come into the white house. this is what they do. an interesting sidebar on this. the mockery of trump's notion of a wall which is ironic given his opponent, secretary clinton, has a wall surrounding herouse. i don't know why there is a difference. is her house more precious than america? why do you have a wall? to protect you from unwanted outsiders. why would america not merit what you have for your own home? aside from that, a mockery of the wall, mockery, i remember during the reagan era the left had the same across the country mockery of star wars. they called it star wars, the strategic defense initiative,
