the scheme was up.mber 11, the morning after madoff had allegedly confessed to his sons, the fbi knocked on his door and asked if there was innocent explanation. madoff said, no, it was, "one big lie." >> he confessed with pride. like, "look what i did. i mean, you're not going to believe what i did when you get to the bottom of this." >> here's a guy who thinks he got over on the world for the last 30 years and doesn't have a bit of remorse. and too bad. >> i have no interest in psychoanalyzing madoff. the man... the man is a monster, he's evil.vky i cannot fathom hurting every single person i má0l,>> there's nothing that i would like to say to bernie madoff that i can say on television. but this may be the only huge fraud in history where the government has extreme complicity.3e7?;%ÑkókѤyhat$ who say. >> i blame the government. i really, truly do. i years and nothing was done about it. it's just, it's mind-boggling, what can i tell you?xv>oiq/

that is the previous scheme. >> this is three-dimensional. i was trying to show a three- dimensional view of this one. what i'm trying to -- in the meantime -- something i want to clarify in terms of views and what you see out the window, they showed a photograph from the window to give you an idea of what you see. i think it is a very specific and somewhat subjective view. this is the view from the same unit looking out. this is modified. you can see there are three windows in question. the left-most window is facing, directly toward the building, the one kevin was talking about, with the blind shot. the curtains were open once. just to show you how much is actually seen of the proposal. we try to find a three- dimensional version of this plan to show you how commissioner antonini, your suggestion of cutting back further to match the diagonal plan, we are already doing a roof there that is reducing mass to a great extent near the peril that -- parapet. that is one of the reasons we did sunsetting. it is going far and above what is necessary

we are advising them to have voluntary scheme and to avoid schemes that would trigger credit event or selective default or default. that is very clearly our message from governments. but it is their responsibility. >> but a voluntary scheme, and we don't want to get into the mechanisms of what it might be because there are so many variations. but most people seem to accept voluntary is in some part inevitably going to be compulsary. >> again, i have said very clearly what is the position of the governing council. >> so you're not then impeccably opposed to a rescheduling of greek debt under voluntary terms? >> again, nothing that would be compulsory, nothing that would trigger selective default of a default. i said that very, very clearly. but it is not our responsibility. it is their responsibility. we will see what they decide and we will take our decision taking into account whether they will have the side. but my message, as i said a moment ago, crystal clear. >> can i quote from you the economist this week. whether it's voluntary or involuntary, whatever the circumstances -- i wa

he himself was saying that he in fact managed to reveal that huge tax evasion scheme which includedome police officials and some tax officials as well and this was also backed by the hermitage. fund itself and by their supporters so it is quite an important case and it's really important to getting to the bottom of this and how it all happened. absolutely adore thanks very much indeed for bringing us the details on to see where this going to. well let's now take a look at some other stories from around the world that we are following for here in r.t.m. the french city of bordeaux has been hit by an e. coli outbreak similar to the one that led to dozens of deaths in germany eight people have been taken to hospital with at least two of them found after eating raw sprouts french authorities say the sprouts were grown from vegetable seeds you brought in the u.k. the bog killed forty four all but one in germany and made over three thousand people sick across europe. a trial has opened in cambodia former leaders on charges of genocide and crimes against humanity for the fans are believed

- ponzi schemes that have been going on for a lot of time. what made this guy -- then you get into conscience. so she passed find an excuse. this is pure greed. -- a sociopaths find an excuse. being a client of bernie madoff was a riot. when you look back at it, it was funny. there was a day once when my wife said, why don't we just give him all the money? he never loses. why are we wasting it. give him everything. because, i had never spoken to bernie madoff and i never met him. tavis: you never met him? >> no, i never spoke to him were met him. he turned down my brother. there was a lady in palm beach to chase him for 10 years. millionaires. he was very smart. if you make something harder to get, you wanted more. my accountants in boston would deal with him. i would call it, we need money. he would send a little better. every month, we would get a statement. 40 shares of sears, we sold. here is what you made. one month he sent a letter, stocks are not doing well this month, we're just buying treasury. tavis: he never body treasury? >> he ne

this sort of neo feudal gulag casino state the first headline read the european gold confiscation scheme unfolds european parliament approves use of gold as collateral according to their press release yesterday's unanimous agreement by the european parliament's committing on economic and monetary affairs. they go by to allow central counter parties to accept some gold as collateral under the european market infrastructure regulation and here another word for king is further recognition of gold's growing relevance as a high quality liquid assets of course you know the history of this is they outlawed gold for a while they try to bring in money which was as good as gold and now they've discovered that the money is bogus there it's got to pass or diverging number one they are reminded thais ingall they're trying to bring it back into the system but they're using all the money that they created willy nilly to use that to acquire the goal of various states like greece for example which has one hundred eleven tons of gold they've been told now that. there's a goal can be used to settle the deb

the trustee said the bank knew about the ponzi scheme and didn't do anything. >>> a lot of people visit dubai and before you do there's something those folks need to know. public displace of affection heavily frowned on. there's serious repercussions if you don't keep your hands to yourself and that includes jail time. those details next. wow, it's a great deal.

i think my disagreement in the details is about how comprehensive the federal scheme is here. i think it is not just a presumption against pre-emption in general. it is a presumption where the states have long regulated. some of the court liability cases at issue are areas in which states have long regulated and the federal government has not regulated as comprehensively as some of your comments would suggest. >> we are almost out of time, but i hate to wrap things up without saying something about the walmart case. >> walmart was a gigantic class action involving 1.5 million plaintiffs. women at walmart brought a claim that said in essence that the walmart policy of giving a great deal of discretion to lower level managers and a highly decentralized system of promotion ended up hurting women. that these decisions were made in a discriminatory fashion and therefore the entire class of women ought to be able to bring a suit. i think there are two key pieces of the decision. one has to do with procedure and one with discrimination. the procedure rule is simple. for those of you

he himself was saying that he believes that managed to reveal a huge tax evasion scheme which included some police officials and some tax officials as well but he died in prison while awaiting trial so he wasn't actually ever found guilty of the crimes he was accused of. right there where you are with r.t. let's search out some other international headlines for you this hour the french city of florida has been hit by an eco night out similar to the one that led to dozens of deaths in germany eight people have been taken to hospital with at least two of them are found it will after eating raw sprouts french authorities say the sprouts were grown from vegetable seeds brought in from the u.k. the e-coli bug killed forty four all but one in germany and made over three thousand people sick across europe. a trial has opened in cambodia of former compare rouge leaders on charges of genocide and crimes against humanity the four defendants are believed to be responsible for the deaths of two million people during their four year rule in the one nine hundred seventy s. the regime was trying to c

fund the hermitage capital and he was personally suspected of being part of this huge tax evasion scheme we're talking about tens of millions of dollars which the authorities were saying i should have been paid to the state budget but now william brought his name has been taken off the wanted list in russia and this case has been taken from the group of the investigators who've been working on it seems to thousand and seven to a higher police authority you know there are several several reasons possibly for that the first one is that this case is it nearing its high expiration date so we can be closed in the near future secondly there is speculation that this way the authorities wanted to provide a more thorough and objective investigation but there is also an unofficial version that this could be connected to president meeting with d.d.'s personal supervision all for the case of game of a nice ski and the circumstances off his death was the lawyer who was hired by william browder and he was actually suspected of being the mastermind behind this a waged gigantic tax evasion scheme he him

>> running a ponzi scheme and like all ponzi schemes it ran out of gas. he wasn't getting any more new investors. >> how many years? >> four years. suddenly some of the loan for coming do and he didn't have the cash to come up with it and he was working on one last deal, getting a lot of money from a new source. telling investors that he had a deal for the steel golf course which is undeveloped and land and worth a fortune had he been able to acquire it. as it turned out it was another one of his scams. he did approach them and they said no but he kept various investors going with this on the assumption that money would come back in. >> was it the twenty-five million czechs he cashed that coincided with his being caught by the fed? how did he get caught? was at the same time frame? was that why he needed the money? >> that was what he was going to cover the bad check with. he needed a bridge loan. he needed a $25 million -- be interesting if they is he had done this before. he would go to pnc bank all the time and cash a check that would be insufficient f

he himself was saying that he in fact managed to reveal a huge tax evasion scheme which included some police officials and some tax officials as well but he died in prison while awaiting trial so he wasn't actually ever found guilty of the crimes he was accused of. you're going to stop recording there where you are with r.t. live from moscow let's check out some other international news for you this hour two explosions have been reported in the libyan capital close to colonel gadhafi compound as the nato operation in the country has ended its one hundredth day with fresh air strikes heavy fighting between his forces and rebels is also. on the way some eighty kilometers from tripoli meanwhile the international criminal court in the hague is to decide whether to issue arrest warrants for gadhafi and his closest allies for alleged crimes against humanity they're accused of opening fire on demonstrators during the crackdown on anti-government protesters in february. the french city of bordeaux has been hit by an eco like outbreak similar to the one that led to dozens of deaths in germany

i think it would be closer to golden gate park, but it was sort of a realty bargaining scheme because it was mostly sand dunes. the first announcement was that it was much warmer than you would imagine. it is beautiful. there are trees. you could get away from the wind. it is sunny. they were just trying to make it sound good. >> there was a row house down there -- there is still a row house down there. >> you could rent that for your wedding. the boss of san francisco, who was dethroned after the earthquake, he was arrested. they tracked it down there. he was hiding out. >> was it still county land at that time? >> city lead. >> this is after it was subdivided into standard lots? >> they are big. anyone who live there, you might have a backyard twice as long as your house. smaller home builders started taking root with larger ones. a lot of times, it was like this. a guy would buy a couple of lots and essentially build two houses and tried to sell them. or live in one. they did that all the way up to the 1940's. one of the last parcels a friend of mine lived on on 28 and cabrilla, wh

services union three hundred thousand members are walking out of a proposed reforms to the pension scheme mr walker thanks for talking to r.t. today now this is possible to plan to cut public spending in this country just how drastic are these cuts going to be give us an impression of what they might mean for the cuts to the biggest that most people will have seen in their lifetime are projected to mean half a million jobs lost in the public sector six hundred thousand jobs in the private sector as a direct result. of welfare cuts in funding of education for young people and also a tax on people's pensions in addition to that in many of the communities up and down the country will see libraries close cuts in social services everything that people have taken for granted over you as. you seem to see these cuts in terms of right and wrong almost a moral position but isn't there has to be respected for example they didn't reform and soon it looks like they might not be able to afford teachers or nurses. in greece this is the fifth largest economy in the world and if you look at historically t

to make anyone to pay a penny more for their pension when the valuation of public sector pension schemes say they are costing less because it's not about pensions it's about raising taxes to solve the deficit i don't believe people should be forced to work longer i don't believe people should have the levers of their pension slashed so where we are in the talks at the moment unless the government fundamentally except they have to talk about those things then i believe the industrial action is going to take place you have said in fact that the government doesn't look like it's prepared to make a shape so what's the point of striking. when the point is to change their mind and saying you won't negotiate just when they're having a chat with a few people in a room is one thing saying you want to go see it when they could be millions of people taking strike action is entirely another and we actually believe that the six million trade unionists plus the thousands and thousands or hundreds of thousands of pensioners and students all becoming a joint campaign is going to be prolifically very pow

if some of the color schemes want to implement on a voluntary basis, it's up to them and that might be one way to encourage drivers to do that. that is something that's not far enough along the pipeline that i would want to hold of a meter increase for that. that said, in summary, i will favor a fare increase if it's coupled with even minimal service improvement. we had one very far along in the pipeline. even if we were to vote on it today, it would not be implemented until we consider the flag drop and other issues because of weights and measures. with that, i would make a motion to continue this to either of our june meetings and no later. there are no members of the public on this body. no matter how we constitute anybody that oversees this, it's impossible to represent everybody in the industry, it's not going to happen. it's not something that i like but i do think that we need to be responsive to the taxi riding public. and as all of you know, i do not just ride special taxis, i ride the regular taxis too on almost a daily basis. that's why i say to you that taxi drivers want pr

today, the mta, working with the ta, shuttles, will move forward on possibly crafting a regulatory scheme. that will move through the mta. they will be ultimately responsible for implementing that schema. e. again, just saying, today's vote is not treating the regulatory scheme, just accepting this result, which was a lot of hard work and byta. i just want to put that out there. >> commissioner weiner, a summary that you have made of this is correct and your assumptions are correct as well. as i have said to you and others on the board before, i am not a friend of excessive regulation and i do not want to see a new bureaucracy spring up, a new issue. we could be getting benefits rather than an impact. but it is appropriate for the city to understand what its relationship is to this phenomenon, which is getting people out of their cars, clearly, and benefiting sustainable transportation and so on. the intent is to be able to look at this in a rational way. we are hoping that the structure is as minimalist as possible. if there is anything that should cause regulation, it will be minimal, a
