mr. forward . when oil reached twenty nine dollars a barrel we weren't doing anything march was a bad month but now it's suddenly picked up to forty dollars a barrel and we're busy again the companies have done so much cost cutting and efficiency that if the price goes to fifty it will be like it used to be eighty. the rig counts the number of rigs drilling new holes in the ground has gone way down from over two hundred to i think thirty five rigs active in the block and. as time goes on without new wells being drilled and frat our one point one million barrels a day will go down naturally slowly in some point in the two to five years there will be a supply and demand reversal whereas now we're oversupplied will be under supply and the price will shoot up. between now and then it will go like this and at some point it will go up. and if the price go ever goes to one hundred and it will someday. north dakota will be crawling with workers looking for housing and there will be a huge labor shortage th

represent a dead end inclusiveness for all your cooperation and mutual benefits is only the right road forward. mr xi speech comes as new data shows today that china's private sector investment growth at a twenty eight month low. specifically new chinese businesses are flat for the third quarter and manufacturing production has stagnated as costs for manufacturers have risen sharply prices for service providers in china have also begun to increase according to the data. and as noted those u.s. economic sanctions have been reinstated on iran as a result of the u.s. pulling.

forward to your questions. senator johnson: thank you, mr. vitiello. >> i thank you, chairman johnson, and serving ranking member peters and members of the committee. i'm grateful for your holding this hearing today to consider my nomination. i am truly honored by the nomination and if confirmed i stand ready to work alongside other leaders in the district of columbia criminal justice system to continue enhancing public safety in the nation's capital. i wish to acknowledge also a number of the leadership is behind me today and i thank them for being here. it plays a critical role in providing public safety for those who live, work, and visit the district of columbia. it strives to reduce recidivism for those ervision after a period of incarceration. if those rephoned, communication with criminal justice partners is key. if confirmed i look forward to achieve these goals. i would also be honored to continue my more than 30 years not only in public service but in the pursuit of public safety. as a career prosecutor i've always done my best to f

mr. schumer: the bottom line is, we did not move forward and push forward on this nomination. the president did and he has a right to do it. but what they did is show the nation that republicans and president trump want to fill the bench with judges, justices who are anti-women's health care, who would side with radicals on no gun control. who would hurt though right's of women, minorities, voting rights, -- hurt the rights of women, minorities, voting rights, lgbt writes, and i think that did as much to galvanize people to vote democratic as it did to vote republican, and in the long run, it is going to hurt them much more. >> on immigration reform, the president throughout the campaign showed -- pictured the migrant caravan as criminals invading the country and a crisis on the border. first of all, just respond to the statement of whether he used that -- of how he used that and second if there is any chance of immigration reform. mr. shuman: -- senator schumer: this president has a tendency to rely on theater and to try to scare people, and to try to win elections that way.

so kimberly is pretty head spinning we just got through the midterm elections and here's mr trump moving forward pleasing his base one assumes as well absolutely i mean there's no question the president made immigration key part of his administration and his first two years in office and he's continuing to do so immediately after the midterm elections because this is something that certainly rallies conservatives and also he feels it is him keeping a promise on the campaign trail that he made even before getting into office but immigration activists say that the president is directly responding to that caravan that is moving through mexico that came from central america and is approaching the u.s. border and that the president's actions to try and combat a flood of illegal immigration into the united states is simply a violation of us as well as international law just to clarify currently where the last stands in the united states prior to the president taking this action it allowed anybody who entered into the united states whether it was legal or illegal as long as they were fleeing persecutio

mr. miller please come forward and take your seats? you will comprise our first panel. bridget bade received her ba in 1987 and her jd in 1990, both from arizona state university. after law school, judge bade clerked for judge edith jones of the fifth circuit court of appeals. after her clerkship, judge bade worked as a trial attorney for the civil division of the department of justice for four years. judge bade then went on to have a successful career in private practice before returning to public service in 2006 as an assistant u.s. attorney for the district of arizona. in 2012, she was appointed as a magistrate judge for the district of arizona, where she still currently serves. judge bade is an experienced jurist who has issued over 14,000 orders, reports, and recommendations during her time as a magistrate. eric miller graduated from harvard university in 1996 and went on to attend law school at the university of chicago. he then spent two years as a clerk, first for judge silberman of the united states court of appeals, for the district of columbia, and next for j

mr. whitaker forwarded the e-mails to scott cooper. world patent marketing ceo.taker played down his role when contacted by the ftc in october 2017, according to notes taken by a staffer of a phone call with mr. whitaker included in the documents. joining us now, "wall street journal" senior writer james grimaldi. take us through your great reporting, and the documents seem to s for themselves. what do we know about how mr. whitaker responded to these fraud allegations? >> we know for sure that he got them. he appears to have at least reviewed some of them. he forwarded them to the ceo as you quoted from our story there. and this is all from records by the way that we got through the freedom of information act. i think we're seeing a body of evidence that's building that shows mr. whitaker was complicit, willfully ignorant or, in fact, ignorant of the schemes that were going on at world patent marketing, none of which look good for an acting attorney general. especially for a company that's now under active fbi investigation and had the serious allegations filed

buck stops for ensuring that national security public safety come first, and i look forward to your it to testimony. mr. tissuer in, i look forward to hearing from you, the position that you have been nominated to is certainly a very important one, critical to protecting public safety and reducing recidivism here in the district of columbia. if confirmed you will be tanked or taking on tremendously difficult task in addition to maintaining effective partnerships amid both federal and local bureaucracy. csosa must tackle barriers to successful re-entry, drug addiction, mental health, affordable housing and job training to just to name a few challenged. the most profound challenges facing communities across the country today, and they're only one piece of fulfilling your mission. i look forward to hearing from about your plans to improve performance and increase accountability as well. thank you. >> thank you, senator peteert. ask consent that we enter into the record six letters of support for mr. vitello as well as letter from the head of the unions and signed by a number of other union heads with ques

mr browder giving the investigators idea that they could have been poisoned again the investigation to go in right now and it's very it was said very clearly that as for now there are no accusations forwarded against mr browder regarding these deaths of associates and i have to say that among those. city gate macguineas key a few words about who this person was he was mr browder top tax advisor and russia says that he could have testified against browder and this is why mr browder was interested in his death while mr browder of says that. russia stole text money from his firm and mr mcneil he knew that and could have testified against russia tax authorities and this is why he is accusing russia of killing him so we have mere accusations here of course very very confusing case and investigations actually into so many cases are right now open and you know through all those latest developments just moments ago maria from the national live from the prosecutor's office in moscow thank you. but moving on to other stories this news are u.s. vice president mike pence oh yes washington is ready to continue its trade war against beijing that will double tariffs on chinese goods is what is being put

mr. president, i look forward to working with you. >> reporter: several races ended in red. in florida, republican ron desantis beat his challenger tallahassee's democratic mayor andrew gillum. >> even though i won't have the blessing of serving as the next governor of the state of florida, i still plan to be on the front lines. >> reporter: and in georgia, democrat stacey abrams still hopes to become the first black woman to be elected governor. >> georgia still has a decision to make. a decision between division and trickery. >> reporter: after a bitterly fought campaign, she trails brian kemp but refuses to concede until every, single vote is counted. laura podesta, cbs news. >>> coming up, he first made his mark on the streets of san francisco. this morning, michael douglas is headed to the walk of fame. >> and let's take another live look outside this time giving some love to san jose where it is 50 degrees. we'll be right back. ood star who first made a mark on 'the streets of san francisco' takes a bow on the walk guess who's beefing up your morning with a steak & egg

moreover, if confirmed you will be in charge of advocating -- [ no audio ] and i look forward to your testimony here today. mr. tishner, i look forward to hearing from you, the position you have been nominated to is an important one critical to protecting public safety and reducing recidivism in the district of columbia. if confirmed you will be tasked or taking on tremendously difficult task in addition to maintaining effective partnerships amid both federal and local bureaucracy. you must tackle barriers to successful re-entry to job training just to name a few of the challenges. these are some of the most profound challenges facing communities across the country today and they're only one piece of fulfilling your mission. i look forward to hearing from you about your plan to improve the performance and increase accountability as well. thank you, gentlemen. >> thanks, senator peters. i would ask consent that we enter in the record six letters of support for mr. vitello as well as a letter from the head of the unions and signed by a number of other union heads, local union heads, with some questions about th

so that's a good parallel as you look at the national defense going forward. mr. ambassador, i wanted to ask you, it seems that we have put less emphasis on africa, specifically through secretary mattis, and yet we see china investing all over the continent. would you comment on that? >> truth be told, i think africa has been neglected by more than this administration. it's been an area that we haven't focused on really very much except in the counterterrorism domain since -- really since the cold war ended. but it's certainly an area where china, for instance, is investing very heavily. i think there's something like 2 million chinese living on the african continent, working on various chinese industrial projects that are meant obviously to spread chinese influence in the region. so i think it's an area that we neglect at our peril, but it is not, i think right now anyway, one that requires a military response to. and i would just, if i could, senator, join admiral roughead in thanking you for your service on this committee. i think this is the tenth time i've te

forward. moderator: are we good moving on to health care? mr. evans, you will go first with this one.f you are elected governor, what would you advocate regarding access to health care and health insurance in our state? mr. evans: i am a really hard-line libertarian on this. there is probably a very small portion of the population that sees this my way, but i don't think the government should of ever gotten involved in health care. i don't think anything good has come out of it. a lot of the high costs have been caused by the government's involvement. you have the government paying half the bills and stifling innovation, micromanaging even when it is not paying the bills. i would support anything we could do to return health care to the private sector. i thought the judgment of the state legislature when they decided not to get involved -- i am fumbling for the words -- the federal program, we decided not to participate in a federal program and be involved in obamacare. i thought it was a good decision based on the fact that you don't know how those federal programs may change. once t

i want the community to b to bee to right that if it did you come forward. >> mr.r, did you have a comment? >> i want to clarify. pc is a special agency with absolute jurisdiction over the property. anything they propose does not need to come back to you. just so you know, you do not have final control over what is built on the site. they have to abide by the zoning of the site. if you say housing not permitted they cannot do housing. if you say it is permitted they can do housing. it is up to them to approve it through whatever process they have. >> there is no process that we would have to. if this rose to e.i.r.? >> it is the process does someone with the pc want to speak to the jurisdiction? >> do they certify their own? >> if at some future point in time the use change the proposed project we are starting construction on next year, then there would be environmental review of that project. >> okay. >> the project you propose is cleared environmentally and you are ready to go? >> correct. >> i think. >> it is a matter of the zoning permitting future uses. >> all

forward. moderator: senator kelly. mrs. kelly: i just want to say that my opponent is wrong about slashing the budget. when those really deep can you tell us were taking play -- cuts were taking place, i did not support the budget. i voted against that budget. i think it's always interesting when your opponent is i think they are vuss or getting desperate in a campaign to start to attack you about your strength. i have been an advocate for children my entire life. and i have been an advocate for children every day in the state senate. moderator: 15 seconds. gov. sununu: i think the results speak for themselves. those programs were slashed. those employees were slashed. we increased these. not top-level management but front-line workers that can spend the time with these kids and families. moderator: next question. >> public education and taxes. it's been more than 20 years after the decision required the state to fund public education adequately. but the same kind of funding and property tax disparities that led to the laws

starting right now would not be too early well mr hale and very forward looking. let's leave it here i really appreciate you coming into the studio and sharing some of your insights thanks very much for having me i encourage our viewers to keep this conversation going in our social media pages and hope to see you again same place same time here on all of the part. dallas. dallas. dallas i mean that doll out of the alley is what i wasn't doing. when we got garrett over here we care the music with us. we are here we were dragged here. by you not going to get rid of those who are not go away we will not die quietly. real the hard work we do is the truth. in a world of big. lot and conspiracies it's time to wake up to dig deeper to hit the stories that mainstream media refuses to tell more than ever we need to be smarter we need to stop slamming the door on the back and shouting past each other it's time for critical thinking it's time to fight for the middle for the truth the time is now for watching closely watching the hawks. pranking gave americans a lot of job op

mr. corey: i believe these women should come forward and in a different manner than they did to mrs. ford. dennis: if the next governor came to you seeking help to get tolls approved by the federal government or funding to install them, would you assist? mr. corey: i would not assist. i don't think we need another tax, but i would be more than happy to work with any governor or mayor in our cities. sen. murphy: i would work with governor lamont, who talked about putting tolls on these trucks that come in and out of our state. it makes sense we would ask them to pay for the usage of our roads. dennis: do you support congressman larson's proposal to build a tunnel? under the connecticut river, which would require federal funding. sen. murphy: i do and my understanding is it may cost just as much money, less money than the alternative plans. i think it could transform the city of hartford. mr. corey: i think it is a great idea, i would like to see more private sector growth in the area. my focus would be the i-95 corridor and the rail system and the two largest ports, bridgeport and new

so i look forward to the discussion tonight. >> thank you. mr. evans, you have one minute to share your thoughts. go ahead. mr. evans: thanks. my name is kurt evans. i am the elder son of kyle evans, a country musician that the older folks still remember. he was inducted into the state hall of fame later in 1989. i went to college at south dakota state university. i studied math and science education, got a bachelor's degree, became a high school teacher and a basketball coach. by 1996, i ran for the u.s. house as an independent. that was the race in which john thune won. in 2002, i joined the libertarian party and was their nominee for the senate. in 2014, i ran for south dakota state auditor, also as a libertarian, and now i am the libertarian candidate for governor. so nice to meet you. >> thank you very much. senator sutton, it is your turn. mr. sutton: i never saw myself in politics. i grew up in our family ranch, fell in love with radio, and rode professionally, and had my life planned out. i was going to make it to the national finals rode

if, in fact, they're trying to find somebody new, woz legitimate, okay, a good positive step forward. >> mr. rucker, we know the trump team has been working on mueller's written questions. does this investigation impact president trump on a day by day basis? is he spending hours with giuliani and others working on these answers? i'm guessing that would contribute to why he's been so sour. >> yes, this week certainly he's spent a number of hours with the legal team going over the answers. also just stewing over the state of the investigation and we've seen that clearly in the tweets of this week. he had a bit of a reprieve. there was not a lot of talk on cable news which he watches all the time about the russia investigation. his team have sort of been on pause. as the president was on the campaign trail. therefore he was focused on either issues and happy about that. now he's come back to washington. to the cold hard reaimty that this investigation is heating up on him and he's due to provide these answers to mueller's team. and that's why we've seen these outbursts. >> well, he brought the

mr. secretary, based on the president's statement, moving forward, the relations with saudi arabia won't be affected by the killing of jamal khashoggi? and how can you differentiate between the kingdom and the crown prince? secretary pompeo: yeah. so it's a mean, nasty world out there, the middle east in particular. there are important american interests, to keep the american people safe, to protect americans -- not only americans who are here, but americans who are traveling and working, doing business in the middle east. it is the president's obligation -- indeed, the state department's duty as well - to ensure that we adopt policies that further america's national security. so as the president said today, the united states will continue to have a relationship with the kingdom of saudi arabia. they are an important partner of ours. we will do that with the kingdom of saudi arabia, its people. that is the commitment that the president made today. it's that straightforward. by the way, this is a long, historic commitment, and one that is absolutely vital to america's national security. w

if we can move this forward. mr macy, the floor is yours. thank you. >> good afternoon, supervisors. to answer your question,, supervisor cohen, generators do know their diversion rate. it can also be consider their recovery late -- recovery rate. >> it is on the refuse bill so they get every month from recology. the diversion right is listed as a% and stand that corresponds with a discount with a calculation. a 70 5% diversion rate, minus 25 equals a 50% discount. that discount is then shown on the bill and they can see dollarwise how that discount, for example, giving 50% across all three streams, they can see that dollar amount. they know their diversion rate. they know their discount and the amount. and when they, if and when they get audited, they are given a report from recology. they are contacted by phone, by letter, and shown the results of that. if a driver, if they are not in a compactor service and the driver notices that there is contamination, the driver may leave a tag and recology will follow-up with that tag by phone call an

you seen that play out and what would you like to do to carry that competition more vigorously forward? mr. bolton: don't forget north korea is a threatening regional power as well. the most important thing is to think strategically to begin with, to understand that other powers in the world have their own plans, have their own interests, and are implementing them. we are not simply observing something and occasionally running into a problem. there are countries that have interests that are fundamentally adverse to ours that we have to deal with. that's not to say that you don't seek areas for cooperation. i think that is all the good. nobody is looking for ceaseless competition. but to believe that history has ended, as people said about 30 years ago, that geopolitical conflict has disappeared, that we are purely in an era of economics, is all fundamentally wrong. and i don't want to say that we are back in the 19th century. we might be back in some century before that, with far more lethal weapons available to the parties involved. and unless you are prepared to protect the united states

mr. trump looked forward to a meaningful summit with president putin as soon as the situation is involved. the president avoids iticizing president putin directly, critics calling his policy inconsistent. connelly is the director for strategic international studies and a former state department official. ou if we don't work wit allies >> if we don't work with our allies, weren't going to accomplish all that we wish to accomplish. and none of that preparatory work has been done. we are creating this one on one dynamic where the u.s. will have a powerful position, but it could be so much stronger wi allies. >> schifrin: but president trump ha relationships with leaders from kim jong un, to putin, while his administration's policy confronts russia, by strengthening up nato's presenc in europe posing sanctions, argues hudson institute senior fellow rebecca heinrichs. >> the policy has been very tough between the unittes towards russia under president p much more so than the he's just not going to openly embarrass him or humiliate him on the world stage. he's trying to have this relationship o

forward. what's the plan to do that? mr. worley: it looks like as of today we have a little over 10,000 between the 31 and 60 day mark. and the plan going forward is to continue our overtime work, continue to have the improved processing provided by 200 additional processors. we're few cusing on the old work first. we're handling hardships as they come. in that's the ongoing effort we have gone through since october, or since the peak of this fall which was 207,000 claims on september 14. we've reduced the inventory by 64%. so we've brought it down continuously since that time. we're in normal processing range now and our timeliness is very close to our targets which is 28 days for original claims and 14 days for supplemental claims. mr. o'rourke: in the backup i received, we show a 27% increase in pending end products as compared to the previous year yusm said it was a comparable case load. is that 27% increase correct? mr. worley: it is correct, mr. o'rourke and i would characterize that by saying in the past five, six year

or do we think treasuries will remain below 3% going forward? mr.chaffrik: it's not our forecast to say it up front. we don't think it's really going to state low 3%. -- stay below 3%. one of the reasons why the treasury market recently rallied is indeed because the inflation expectation is coming down. and that is by large the story of oil. if you paint me a picture the oil is collapsing even further, that's not necessarily are scenario, there is pressure through the break. the question that needs to be answered is if inflation is not getting anywhere close to the target globally for most of the central banks, what is the reaction function of the central banks? we will have to see about that. it's not necessarily are central scenario. schaffrik, thank you for joining us. ♪ time for e.g. a friday, we will bring you pictures from the g20. as an etf for everything, even one that tracks the topics among hedge funds. , what we need to know? >> let's start with this one. the ticker is gbip. essentially what this try to do is track the 15 most commonly he
