we have some positions in the government that we call safety sensitive positions and this one was not classified as safety sensitive position that would get the most robust background. >> ward three council member mary chay who oversees department of general services told "fox5" today this is a wake-up call for city. now the question here going forward is, is the system itself flawed or does this fall on the people responsible for con did youing thorough background checks. >> the agencies are supposed to idntify what they consider sensitive positions and then if so designated human resources is supposed to do a criminal background check and then they're supposed to agency whether consistent with that person what they found about that person and position whether that is a problem or not. i think it kind of did slip through the cracks. >> that was chris type leon reporting. some district leaders question how many other people have slipped through the cracks so to speak in this case. they say going forward they will be more thorough in their hiring practices. >> okay. you're going to get

positive is the u.s. stop this crazy cruise maybe the dangers or even criminal support for a so-called moderate rebels because we know once your view for reference to moderates some powers this goes for some power it up and so it's not so moderate and you know i mean cynics would say that was in part of the plan it was intentional they are literally allied. with al qaeda who are that is there's no question about it it's off our list i mean that's what i said last week you mean the u.s. the u.s. still has a really meaningful military footprint in syria just because the cia operation were officially told i don't ever believe anything official or unofficial in terms of cia and its very nature let me let me go to you let me let me read something that secretary of state tillerson said about these things as here the near unanimous votes for the same actions legislation in congress represent the strong will of the american people really do see russia take steps to improve relations with the united states is a ve

it becomes clear that this is the american position. united states of america announced its own position. that clearly shows they are not in on this. second, it shows the position of all of the others, which is clearly stated, namely that the paris agreement is irreversible, so i think it became very clear. unfortunately, we were not able to come to a compromise. it is very clear that there is a disagreement. >> thank you very much, madame chancellor. i have a question on the riots. there has been talk of anarchy and the failure of the state. it is very atypical for germany that this should happen. are you thinking about consequences should this happen again? >> i believe the police operation was executed very carefully. i believe i told you what i think of the violence at these riots. the fact that unfortunately citizens of this city had to suffer, i said we could offer compensation to the as quickly as possible and with as little red tape and bureaucracy as possible. as we all know, demonstrations are still ongoing. i hope they will r

and we should be well positioned. we are very exposed to interest rates going up, very positively exposed and we make money without additional costs. lowlevels were generally across and our american peers said the same. there is a lot if positive tail wind but with the timing of the improvement, it is difficult to gauge. think a little bit more certainty on the direction of interest rates. there is a positive mental attitude, pmi indicators are looking strong particularly in germany. the friends story has been the real pickup for the eurozone. >> do you get a better sense of interest rate, the direction from janet yellen yesterday? 4g do you think for mario draghi, a sense of tapering? >> there wasn't much from the fed yesterday. interest rate increases are looking slightly less likely. in europe, an interesting picture, we see the prospect of growth but no increase in inflation. interest rates are not moving because inflation is not moving. economic growth prospects are improving so we have seen the euro go up in val

we think it will be a positive story. area i want to pay attention to is silver. you can see it breaking below the twin line. the rsi is pointing to stretch. that is silver in euro terms. pay attention to the commodity stocks more broadly. let's talk about whether we think the markets are going to go this morning. we think it will be a positive story. it looks like the dax might outperform a little bit, half of 1%. there is a ruling coming out at 1030 in the high court about whether the u.k. can sell weapons to saudi arabia. it may turn out to be nothing, may turn out to be something. it may be an interesting story, one worth paying attention to later on. we have lots of stocks we need to be looking at. the golden story is interesting, as well. the market open is four minutes away. this is bloomberg. ♪ >> we think it will be a positive start to the morning. the french utilities, the nuclear stocks, one to watch out for. watch at what is happening with the u.k. defense stocks. stocks, something to pay attention to as well.

philip hammond setting out his position, this morning, on public sector pay. the purse strings can't simply say he will give everyone a pay rise after stroke because he has to find the money to do it which means either borrowing or raising pack axis. —— or raising taxes. the international trade secretary liam fox has said the eu's brexit negotiators need to believe the government ‘would walk away rather than accept a bad brexit deal‘. he told andrew neil the prime minister's attitude on the uk's position was ‘100 percent right‘ — despite his previous comments saying no deal would be ‘bad for the country. i think that those we're negotiating with need to accept we won't accept any deal they give us. that was the problem cameron had.... our european partners believed we would accept a bad deal rather than none. but philip hammond says that none. but philip hammond says that no deal would be a very, very bad steel. we can hardly want that, the europeans know that we have realised no deal would be very, very bad outcome. is he right? you can argue on what the outc
