great idea. >> i'm a correspondent at reuters as well. i have a nonguild question, although i second with debbie said. you talked about why we in the financial press didn't write it. you said it was never us. that's some of the system. i was rading some stuff with charles ferguson. his basic point is he's very shocked that nobody has been prosecuted criminally. he thinks that people should have. i'm wondering you agree with them, even if some of them maybe our clients? >> well, you know, look, we wouldn't -- first of all, nobody particularly cares about what my personal opinion is one way or the other. people break the law. they should be prosecuted right? that's a national government position. that's noa personal or a company one. i think the problem is with this particular crisis, it's very difficult to prove, you know, let's take an example like the fall of lehman brthers. lots of efforts after the fact. people looking at issues of corporate governance,nd in particular remuneration have said we have to change all of the rem plans so th

i have a friend a colleague who was at the palestine when it was shot when the reuters office was shot by the taig which the u.s. military claim that they take had drawn fire i've personally seen these tapes they showed the tape for several minutes before fire there was no gunfire anywhere everyone knows that the palestine is the journalist hotel that whole compound is for journalists the real message through actions from the pentagon is that we will make your life more hazardous and it's not just you know independent journalists and people on the left who have made this charge we've had many mainstream organizations like the committee to protect journalists expressing concerns sending letters having meetings with pentagon officials and the real question is why is the pen. god intimidating harassing and shooting journalists here in this country there is hardly better pete dozens of journalists have died many of them on embedded international a top journalists talk about the concern of targeting of the out embedded they torie clarke who is the spokesperson for the pentagon who came from

in the senate race, reuters has senator boxer up one. that'snating race, 46-45. in west virginia, a poll shows joe man chin, the governor, up by ten. he's cleaned up. i guess it was the hickey casting call that got the other guy in trouble. then republican kelly ayotte is pulling away from democrat hodes. she's at 50 in the new hampshire poll. wow, she's pulled out. finally to alaska where a poll from the conservative club for growth shows the three-way race is tied. 33 for joe miller. he's got the nomination. 31 for lisa murkowski, doing a write-in campaign. 27 and within striking distance for democrat scott mcadams. a strange case where somebody can win in a three-way even if they're on the opposite of most people. we'll continue to check the "hardball" scoreboard every night leading up to november 2, election day. >>> to the nevada senate race. we have chuck today, msnbc white house correspondent, as well. i want to start with john rol rolston. sharon angle, challenger, tea partier, delivering what i think is a cheap shot at the democratic leader, harry reid.

that's the lowest approval number the reuters poll has ever reported.to react, one of the stars of abc's "good morning america," george stephanopoulos. we all know about the economy and how that's hurting mr. obama and the democrats in general but there's got to be more to this. because it looks like it's taken on a life of its own now and in the reuters poll, it shows that democrats, people who are in the party are now turning a little bit away from the president. so there's got to be something more. >> the democrats are turning away mostly because of the economy and remember, the president is still at a higher place than bill clinton was at this point in his term, ronald reagan and all of their major political institutions so, you know, he's not in a death row right now. as far as the problem with democrats, they're upset about the economy but he's also got a problem with liberals who wish he would have done more on issues like gays in the military, on health care. they feel he hasn't been exactly the liberal hope that he wanted. i think on the other

what we know at the moment is on friday the reuters news agency put out a report that said twenty people have been arrested in georgia were accused of trying to set up a spy ring for moscow now we still haven't heard anything from the georgian side from they say so far to say where they confirm or deny that this was happening they've said they will issue a news conference later on what we have heard though is some comments from the russian side what russian politician saying that there is no need for russia to have a spy ring in georgia it would be a waste of resources and suggesting that perhaps these people who have been arrested could be the police using these they spy a cover up story to try and take the opposition political opposition away from the streets of georgia. this looks like another of george's internal political battles in russia is used as the boogie man as usual russia doesn't need a spy network in georgia it would be waste of resources russian officials can get all the information in georgia without leaving their desks there is a massive georgian john spirit here in rus

peter morici, jim from reuters and leo henry. professor, i will begin with you, if you directed the energy, like a swarm of bees, the people who are watching this show, the people who read about this on the internet the people who are getting educated to this problem, where would you drive them to our government? >> they should focus the president on focussing the currency problem with china. there's no way out. businesses won't have any customers or create jobs if they can't sell stuff. the president himself in new york at the u.n. said two weeks ago, we have options if china won't act. president, it's time for those options. i would urge everyone watching the show, to write the white house, to force china's hand. >> how do you address the issue with china without having it deteriorate into demonization of china? how do you solve this issue and at the same time, not have it deteriorate? >> well, listen, i'm not a big fan of placing some of these currency taxes on the chinese currency. i will say that the movement in congress, to

according to reuters, the u.s.t has run out of a type of gold coin it had been selling amid record high prices of gold, but the mint is out. the united states minute depleted the inventory of 2010. american buffalo one-ounce gold bullion coins. i have a hunch it isn't the demand of the popularity of the buffalo this season. there is an unusually high option volume right now. which is an indicator that insiders know the leaves are changing. they choose options over buying stock. the uber wealthy are also putting down large options against betting -- betting against the s&p 500. what does that mean? the smart money is saying the market will tank this month. i'm hoping they're wrong. don't listen just to the market -- listen to your gut. i'm just telling you what is happening here. earlier in week japan cut interest to almost zero and set up a 5 trillion yen quantitative easing fund. what is that? you do it when you want to increase money supply. printing. the risk is hyperinflation. at home, federal reserve in new yo

in that new poll by reuters, 49% called the economy their number one concern.othing else was close. i'm steve handelsman, nbc news, capitol hill. >> the white house today said the don't ask don't tell policy of the military is running out. the white house press secretary robert gates said president obama's view remains that the ban on openly gay service member in the military should be ended. meanwhile, the defense secretary robert gates said faye abruptly ending the policy would have enormous consequences for the troops. yesterday, a federal judge ordered the pentagon to stop enforcement of that policy. the justice department is consering whether to appeal that ruling. >>> a group opposed to same sex marriage in d.c. wants to take their case to the u.s. supreme court. bishop harry jackson file a petition. he had a group that had argued the gay marriage issue should be decided by voters. a judge ruled the city could pass the law without the voter's approval if it conflicted with human rights law. washington began allowing sail sex marriages in march. jackson ho

we represent hertz corporation, thompson reuters, and others. there has been a dearth of large block space in san francisco. the developments currently on tap are not sufficient to house some of these firms. you saw the benefits of a firm staying in san francisco. over 2000 jobs are going to be for san franciscans and the bay area. it is critical that we provide large blocks of space for these tenants to stay in san francisco to draw from the technology and social media sectors. it is very exciting for our economy and the city of san francisco. i am in support of the certified eir and against the appeal that has been filed. thank you. >> michael karioke, san francisco building. this is exactly the sort of project that is supposed to go in a spot like this. it is within a block of the new trends bay terminal. it is exactly where it is bound to be. this neighborhood has always been conceived as a mixed use neighborhood where people would live and people would work. ideally, they would walk from home to their office and then back home again. the pr

kris that freeland deployable editor at large at reuters. welcome to all of but >> thanks. >> gideon your book is how to end wars and how americans don't end wars well because they don't think through what they want to do in advance so we have a war that everybody, i would say the majority of the country is desperately seeking to end. how would you end the afghan war? >> the basic question is what are you prepared to accept in afghanistan. if you want permanent stability with no chance of problems recurring you have no option but to stay there for a long time with a lot of resources and can't get out. if you're prepared to accept some limits on what you will accept at the end game, if you want to have a lower degree of confidence that problems will recure, if you're prepared to accept counterterrorism as an ongoing struggle rather than pure peace, you might be able to get away with less. wanting to get out isn't really enough. >> what about this counterterrorism option, if we were to scale back our ambitions, danielle, do you buy the idea th

reuters yesterday as you surely know doing a story about the federal reserve sharing information withot only large bond investors like yourself but large investors generally. quote, by necessity the fed spends a considerable amount of time spending with investment managers, bank economists and market strategists. a reuters investigation found the information flow goes both ways as fed officials let their guard down with former colleagues and other close private sector contacts. does pimco or do you know that other major institutions have better information as to what the federal reserve is thinking or doing than anybody else? >> oh, dylan, i sort of liken this to wall street buzz as to wall street inside information. it's like going to a neighborhood cocktail party and asking what you've heard about the johnsons. no one really knows what goes on inside their house, but a lot of people are willing to gossip about it. i think that's basically the situation. it's almost entirely gossip. no one knows what goes on inside the hallowed halls of the federal reserve. we'd like to think we do.

sri raman of thomson reuters says that's because revenue is increasing as the economy recovers. >> top line growth is something that we've started seeing of late. we always knew that there were cost-cutting that was causing earnings to improve, and finally, we're seeing the top line join the cost-cutting that was taking place to actually cause these solid numbers going forward. >> reporter: but with the economy growing only slowly, earnings improvements will be selective. positive surprises are predicted for autoliv-- an auto components maker-- viropharma, halliburton, and two insurance companies, progressive and ace, benefiting from the mild hurricane season. negative surprises are predicted for goldman sachs, lockheed martin, encana, kraft foods, and skechers. goldman, and to a lessor extent, morgan stanley, have already warned of lower profits due to a drop in trading activity. but this trend should not have a big impact on the retail financial services companies like citi and j.p. morgan chase. the predicted disappointments for energy companies follow a big run-up for the sector, a
