robert mercer set up his own foundation. the mercer family foundation. headed by his daughter rebecca. but what exactly are these special interests he's protecting. it's hard to say since robert mercer never expresses his opinions publicly anyway you'll never know what's going on in private this is brian said just look that's what he's funding for all of the money that way and i think that kind of builds of a picture. to understand the ideas that robert mercer wants to promote we can. look at where he's been spending we can do so with tax documents declarations of the foundation's fiscal allocations for the years 2012 to 2015 mercer financed a number of institutes and lobbies among them the heritage foundation which fights taxes and economic regulation $1500000.00 the media research center which fights leftist media bias $12000000.00 the government accountability institute which tracks government corruption and publishes books against hillary clinton 3.7 $1000000.00 the heartland institute which defends climate change skeptics $2800000.00. in new york he

. >> hi, my name is bill mercer, and i am the associate director of curatorial affairs at the panhandle plains historical museum. i would like to share about the history of native americans and the culture of native americans in texas. it's very appropriate to begin with the contemporary. i'm standing here next to a beautiful piece of sculpture by the noted artist alan houser, who was apache. he was born in oklahoma. he was a descendent of a band removed to oklahoma after his band was captured and later became a terrific artist. as you can see, one of the main foci of this particular piece is a native american on horseback and that's truly the story. that's the story of native americans in the southern plains region and the panhandle especially. what once horses became available to them in the 1600s, particularly the comanches their people, they were able to obtain horses from the traders in santa fe. they were able to utilize the environment much more. i could cover much longer distances. the bison hunting culture really became the strong suit, the highlight of the area, and it became

another former minister tobias ellwood saying similar and johnny mercer saying it has been poorly handledve concerns. in the front page of the 0bserver, 2000 paediatricians, doctors who work with young people saying the government should change its mind and it's a basic human responsibility to make sure children have enough to eat. in scotland, wales and northern ireland there are schemes in place. in england the government says it is sticking by its position but the debate rages on. thank you. at least 18 people have been killed and dozens wounded in a suicide bomb attack outside an education centre in the afghan capital, kabul. more than 20 people were injured. the islamic state group has said it carried out the attack. donald trump has voted early in the us election while on a campaign visit in florida. with ten days still to go until the presidential election, a record 54 million people have already voted. this is largely due to fears over coronavirus, with the country seeing record daily highs. lebo diseko is in washington. it is the final push for donald trump andjoe it is the final

johnny mercer. the cricketing legend, ian botham, has taken his seat in the house of lords. lord's, took the oath in the tradititional — if socially—distanced — ceremony. i, ian lord botham, do swear that i will be faithful and bear true allegiance to her majesty, the queen elizabeth, her heirs and her successors according to the law, so help me god. lord botham's was one of 36 new peerages announced by downing street in august. he'll sit as an independent, or crossbench peer. that's stumps for this monday in parliament. thank you for watching. i do hope you canjoin me at the same time tomorrow for tuesday in parliament. until then, bye for now. hello there. i thought i'd start with a reminder ofjust how grim a start to the month we've had. across a swathe of southern england and parts of eastern scotland too, over recent days, we've seen more rainfall than we'd expect to see in the whole of the month of 0ctober. and we're only in the first week, of course. winchcombe is in gloucestershire — 118mm here over recent days, compared with the october average of 81. now, we have g

level thatappened helps us understand mahone and the john mercer langston intervention. dr. turner: the readjust her movement, it was virginias reconstruction. it was the moment where a coalition of lack and white were able politicians to gain control of the state legislature and of the state patronage to affect the changes of allowing black people to sit on juries. of establishing schools for black people like virginia state university. they carried out the work of adding the whipping post. it is often told through the story of william mahone who was a former confederate general who was able to mobilize the coalitions of black and white voters. he often sits at the center of the story. having state elected officials -- about readjusting the state debt. anas like this is such arcane set of municipal finance politics that how is it possible to build a coalition around these things. but they organize over readjusting state debt. the state is decimated after the civil war. the white farmers and white folks, this was a detriment to the state advancement but also for black folks.

that working across the aisle and no one ever really condense you for doing it, but talk about jack mercer-- well, he was a significant ally of yours. jack was a democrat, pennsylvania. >> well, when i arrived here in 1966, to go to work on not killed the first time-- work on the hill the first time over the relationship, i look back on my time for years i spent as secretary of defense, republican secretary of defense, my strongest ally in the house was a man i did the most work with was jack murtha. he was a marine, the first vietnam that ever elected to congress and he was my closest ally. he chaired the defense appropriations subcommittee in the house while i was secretary of defense, and so there were relationships like that. i would call him significantly different from a lot of what we see happening today on capitol hill and i have always anticipated some degree of cooperation among the founders and the collectivity, but your book shows that sometimes it's down and dirty their just like it is now in congress. >> i think that study of and probably most rewarding relationship for both

there's no sign that people like bob mercer, some of these other people who helped trump from wall street are going to come back this time around. >> let me put out there, brian, a name and the mathisen theory it goes as follows: that wall street is brilliant at hedging they probably know they have much more risk of damage from a biden administration where does their money go? they hedge it. they arbitrage it and put it into biden's coveffers to protet themselves and get their phone calls returned in a biden administration they're betting on the jockey here, but they're doing it because in part they know that their risk of a second trump administration is much, much lower. wh who would like to take that and tell me i'm all wet? >> go ahead, eamon >> brian, go ahead >> i think that's exactly right, tyler. when you talk about what's going to happen. at the risk of looking past election day, which is always dangerous to do because anything can happen, if you do see a biden victory here, wall street is going to want to have a seat at the table, to your point, and there's going to be just a ma

the pandemic has pushed public debt to new highs someone has got to pay for that, a new study by mercer to be very political challenging reforms like raising the retirement age, you could be working longer with less income as the economy tries to recover from the pandemic, they did a study with 39 countries, the u.s. ranks number 18, what did you say, don't worry until you have to we have to worry about the spending in the stimulus but look at the public debt, someone has got to pay in the end and i have a feeling you're not going to have to but i'm going to have to. stuart: the sting was in the tail, i don't have to worry about it because i'm so old, before have to pay for. will get back to you shortly. i promise. stocks waiting for stimulus. susan: we just got confirmation from the treasury department monica says treasury secretary steven mnuchin and nancy pelosi house speaker will be speaking this afternoon updates to follow political has reported that this conversation will take place at 3:00 p.m. eastern time and also mark meadows chief of staff saying he has also spoken to preside

dorian smith, a partner at mercer, a benefits consulting firm, predicted that many companies would most likely continue. $50 billion medical care for the uninsured could cost billions more. doctors and hospitals could lose a crucial source of revenue as more people lose insurance during an economic downturn. the urban institute estimated that nationwide without the a.c.a., the cost of care for people who cannot pay for it could increase as much as $50.2 billion. hospitals and other medical providers, many of whom are already struggling financially because of the pandemic, would incur losses, as many now have higher revenues and reduced costs for uncompensated care in states that expanded medicaid. a study in 2017 pie the commonwealth fund found that for every dollar of uncompensated care across those dates in 2013, the health law had erased 40 cents by 2015 for a total of $6.2 billion. the health insurance industry would be upended by the elimination of a.c.a. requirements. insurers in many markets could deny coverage or charge higher premiums to people with preexisting conditions. and

phil mercer has been looking at what impact this could have on the australian economy.on ore and liquefied natural gas. so if these reports that energy providers, state—owned energy providers and steel mills in china have been told not to buy australian coal for political reasons, then it is a very big deal for the australian government. there is some suggestion that perhaps imports of foreign coal are being restricted in china in order to boost the domestic chinese mining industry. but if it goes further than that and this is some way that china is trying to exert some sort of diplomatic control over australia, it will be of immense concern to the authorities in canberra, given that relations have deteriorated in the last couple of years. hello, this is bbc news. the headlines: with rising hospital admissions in england, labour warns the new restrictions may not be enough. we did take action, but these are balanced judgments and we also had to balance that against the effect on the economy, people's jobs and livelihoods, on education, which we have made a priority. the

well, i think one might onlyjust quote one of the ministers, johnny mercer, who said that this hasn'tk to somebody‘s financial circumstances is absolutely significant when you are on those sorts of income so, i hope and i urge and actually expect the government to move on this issue but we need long term solution is not just short—term sellotape but we need long term solution is notjust short—term sellotape to hold this together. it's a big one. and, in the meantime, there are all sorts of local offerings for children this half term. i was talking earlier to a volunteer at a local football club which is giving out free school meals. actually, we're going to have to stop at that point because we are going straight to wales. the health minister for wales vaughan gething is giving an update on the coronavirus ‘firebreak‘ lockdown. i understand that there is some confusion whenever new rules to control the spread of coronavirus introduced. i want to clear up some of that confusion today. i was very saddened to see this particular exchange on social media this morning, from a supermarket t
