very comprehensive investigation and the charges that were made yesterday by the head of the agency mr mas and were in fact quite scathing he took the unusual step for example of demonstrating of using examples of eight different fake profiles that he said had been established by chinese presumably by chinese intelligence organisation for the purposes of essentially conducting espionage here in germany so what they did is they set up profiles on linked in which is one of the few international social media that is also available in china profiles of people who purported to be head hunters or think tank workers and these people tried to make contact with up to ten thousand different germans seeking in the beginning to perhaps invite them to attend conferences in china or perhaps to contribute reports to publications all with the purpose of gaining information these targets were apparently often government officials but presumably also people working for german companies because there has been rising concern here in germany about chinese covert activities targeting german firms. that was meli

thank you, mr. ma goo. that was very helpful. if you see something, say something. woman with a big platform like this, there is something i wanted to talk about tonight. that's the hollywood sexual harassment scandal. first of all, let's start with the fact it isn't a search scandal. it isn't a hollywood scandal. it isn't even a scandal. it is a systemic problem about the abuse of power that takes place across all industries. and has enabled a culture of inequity to persist for far too long. over the past few months, yes, the past few months, countless brave women have come forward to share their experiences. and while i'm not totally surprised by these stories, it seems like quite a few men are. treating another human being with respect isn't complicated. but it seems a bit confusing for a lot of men out there. so i wrote a book. [ applause ] it's kind of like a children's book. for men. that is going to make this really simple and just bring them to the basics. do you want me to read it? [ cheers and applause ] so listen up, fellows. get to the first page. there

obviously you know mr. ma began thought he was the right person to have the right temperament. two things have to be said here, katy, i've talked to several legal scholars, former prosecutors say they know a lot of people who could have answered all those questions and aced them who would make lousy judges. but on the other hand it's very unusual for the president to nominate someone who has absolutely no trial experience whatsoever as a prosecutor or defense lawyer. that's just trial experience is just not what he's had. that's what judges do. so that makes the nomination somewhat controversial. >> senator chuck grassley tweeted yesterday, pete, that the senate has confirmed 12 circuit court judges this year. that's the most in the first year of any president in u.s. history. pete, these are lifetime appointments, what sort of impact will they be able to have on the country for a generation? >> that's an astonishing record really. 12 nominees to the appeals courts, by contrast in his first year president obama only had three. now part of that is the fact obama got off to a ver

ma me an eastarget. instead, this was serial misconduct and perversion on the part of mr. trump.: that is rachel crooks. you did not know her until now. 16, originally was like 10 or 12 and more have come forward, but as far as i am aware in the input i have gotten, none of us have talked to each other. so the thing i found for myself comforting was the fact the stories were basically similar. amy: rachel ended up quitting and going home. >> rachel quit her job and went back to ohio. we lost somebody in the city n.cause of the aggressio amy: your conference national investigation? >> yes. amy: e explain. >> the problem with the political scene is trump really feels like he doesn't have anybody over him. there is nobody telling him -- nobody is the boss of the white house except trump. it is up to congress to bring andto task for who he is what he is. i'm hoping the robert mueller investigation will do it, but at this point, i have to do -- have to continue doing what i feel is important about the sexual aggression issues. so i think it is up to congress to step forward. amy: 56 w

agreement large firms such as nestle and mas agreed to ensure that child labor in the chocolate industry would be a thing of the past by two thousand and five. in twenty ten mrr.t. wanted to see if that was true. but nothing had changed. the plantations were full of child slaves he tried to get a statement from nestle for his film but they declined. so he started an offensive he traveled to switzerland to nestle's headquarters to provoke a response and they came without hesitation. and there weeks after i remembered that i got some calls from my german or broadcasters because they were contacted by the nestle headquarter in frankfurt and dates wired to close down the film they were asking a question for the for the german television how could we do this film and blah blah blah and the german my german broadcaster they said everything is ok all the facts are ok so we are running and broadcasting the film which was very important of course for me but they tried to stop the film. in certain ways the documentary entitled the dark side of chocolate became an international success the company's promise to improve things and announced aid projects mistrusts he want

do you acknowledge that the current system big far ma uses -- big pharma uses clout to manipulate the patent system to increase drug prices? mr. azar: there are clearly abuses in the system. that's why one of the steps that i mentioned to senator murray that we have to go after is the gaming of that. i have always believed we have a waxman regime. it gives innovators a time period to sell the product. but there should be a moment with her should be full in the system and to the patients when they walk into the pharmacy. sen. paul: i will say this is a huge problem that's been going on for decades. we have had insulin since the 20s. everybody says they are going to fix it, but i tend to be a doubter because these problems go on and on and on. when you look at the drug problem, one of the things that people proposed was to allow us to buy drugs from europe, buy drugs from canada, from mexico or australia. in fact, this was the president's position when you -- when he said allowing consumers access to safe and dependable drugs from overseas will bring more options to consumers. we have had legislation on this, i stated the posit
