that steven avery made himself a murderer. >> steven avery started planning this event the very first to prison. >> and we talk with tom fassbender a lead investigator in the case who is come under fire for this controversial interrogation. >> you've stayed silent for this firestorm. why are you sitting here today? >> realized that someone needed to speak out, to bring forward the truth of what happened. >> so, what did happen here? our story begins with a woman at the heart of this case, a 25-year-old photographer from wisconsin named teresa halbach. >> she loved being behind the camera. >> kim and teresa became friends and college. both were photographers working at the same studio and green bay. kim says teresa had a special weight her subjects. >> she would get a smile. that's one thing i think she loved to do, make other people smile. >> the two-state in touch after graduation as they launched their careers. that would all change suddenly on october 31st, 2005. kim caught a story on the local news, teresa was missing. >> investigators say 25 -year-old photographer was on assignme

so one, i mentioned i [inaudible] went i cloaked for justice stevens. he was appointed by republican justices. often -- i mean president -- he often did not like to be called illiberal even though i think at the end, people saw him as one of the leading liberal voices. he sort of issued those labels on boxes. he really cherished in the pendant minded he was so much so that he didn't go around talking to the other clerks about what they're [inaudible] most likely to be. and i really valued that, that he was so decent. and i asked him, did the court change around you? or did you change your views on things? and he would say, the court changed around me. and i think there is some support for that. yeah, there's some support for that. and there's also support for the idea that he changed some of his views on things. and i think that signals open-mindedness. he saw questions differently [inaudible] affirmative action he changed his views. on the so i think there is that possibility. what and worried about no is whether that's still available to us as an opti

the next day, i got a call from steven spielberg's office.g. she put me in this three-piece suit. [ laughter ] with a little gold chain hanging out of the side pocket. [ laughter and applause ] yeah. so steven came out. gave me -- saw how uncomfortable i was. gave me the biggest hug. the warmest smile. and says, "ke, i want you to come back next day, but wear something comfortable." [ laughter ] i went back the next day. i walk in the room, and there was steven spielberg, george lucas, and harrison ford. >> jimmy: wow. >> we spent an entire afternoon together. and three weeks later, i was on a flight to sri lanka, and it was the best adventures of my life. >> jimmy: i bet. [ cheers and applause ] were you like, oh my god, it's han solo? it's indiana jones? >> no, no. i didn't know who they were. i'd never seen "star wars." i'd never seen "e.t." at that time. >> jimmy: wow. >> certainly not "raiders of the lost ark." it was not until after the movie, steven and george screened it to me. then i realized, holy [ bleep ]. [ laughter ] these are r

date of you, steven beardsley is at the factory gates. he joins me now. stephen tesla, the biggest name and electric vehicles by germany also has a lot of more traditional carmakers like volkswagen that are getting very serious about electro mobility. what will this factory mean for competition? with chelsea. tesla built this factory here. this massive production hall you see behind me for the same reason that volkswagen or audi or b m w builds in markets where it's selling. that's for example, the u. s. are in china, it's basically a better investment of their capital to serve those markets. now, the model wise that are going to be built here, we're coming from places like shanghai, from a car factory and california. now that can be built here, they can be sold in this market. that's a massive cost reduction for tessa. it allows them to be here in europe where they see a growing growing market. now you mentioned some the competitors volkswagen out. they are really kicking up their efforts with ease volkswagen, almost doubling it. sales i

and many of the questions happen, answered steven grantley, thanks so much. now tesla is just one example of the big foreign companies who flocked to europe biggest economy in recent years. take a look at some of the others. this battery factory opened its doors in 2021 in columbia, in northern sweden. it is the 1st of its kind to be built by a european company. the swedish company, north volt may only have been in business as 2016, but plans to build a battery factory in northern germany. thanks to the regions, eco friendly, power production. and the company can expect substantial government help. germany needs new batteries to power its pivot towards green energy. they're also big plans from up to board and eastern germany. u. s. chip manufacturer. intel wants to spend 17000000000 euros in the region to open to new factories. that would employ 3000 people. and it's banking on european union subsidies to the tune of several 1000000000 euros. construction is due to start next year. both announcements are likely to give germany's economy a major boost in the l

and they were amazing moments in my life and with my family, and i talked to steven quite a bit. cinerama dome right down the street. and when i took my three kids to watch it again, it was that same moment where they cried when et died the same way i did. and i'm like, "no, he's coming back. i promise." so, you know, he's someone that i'm lucky enough to know, and we talk a lot about what it is. and i think what he's trying to do, like all of us, is protect it, trying to make sure that whatever these new distribution models are, that, at the core, they're protecting the movie business, protecting how that great storytelling moves us generationally and makes us want to do it. and, yes, it's changing. i wish that friday night, the movie at the movies was still as important as was when i was 19. and it's changing, because there's video games and there's phones and there's tik tok and all these things. but, really, what we have to do is protect the movie business, and how do we make young generations come through and be the next steven spielberg? and so that's what we're all working

i mentioned justice stevens appointed by a republican justice.e often did not like to be called liberal, in the end people saw him as one of the leading liberal voices, shoes offered, he cherished independent-minded he was, he didn't go around talking to the others about what their opinion was likely to be. i thought he was so decent. i asked him selected the court change around you or did you change your views on things? would say court changed around me. i think there is support for that, some support for that. also support for the idea but he changed some of his views. i think that signaled open-mindedness, he saw questions differently and affirmative action things. so i think there is that possibility. what i am worried about now is whether that is still available to us especially on the issues that the parties have cared so much about particular the republican party they have put those people who they could count on, on the judiciary, certainly the lower court, even on the supreme court so these could be views about reproductive rights, priv

steven annually. steven foster memorial day. who, pray tell, was steven forester? well, let's talk about mr. foster and some of the lyrics in some of his songs. not all, not all of his songs. but too many of his songs contain lyrics that are offensive to people of color. before we examine the lyrics, let's do this. let's just explain that you don't get a day in your honor without the consent of the house. and the senate. and the president of the united states of america. you don't get a day in your honor without voting. people have to vote. the president has to sign an order. i'll be reading for you the resolution in just a moment. but for now let's look at some of the songs, songs by steven c. foster. steven c. foster. songs by stephen c. foster containing the n word. some of you may be familiar with "oh, susana." i trust at home that you can read this. he uses what i consider demeaning vernacular. i jump aboard the telegraph and travel down the river. the electric fluid magnified and killed the 500n-word. we're not allowed to say the word on the floor and appreci

she liked debate, as steven mentioned.'s area and she was, you know, very respectful of our views and always took the time to listen to us and she does the same thing for everyone that comes in our courtroom. she's just an amazing listener and an amazing person to work for and to look up to. >> steven, she will be a first in obviously a number of ways, first black woman to sit on the high court if she is confirmed, but she also brings real diversity in terms of her experience as federal public defender, the first one, four years on the sentencing commission and her real plea with recent graduates, the university of pennsylvania law graduates, how important it is to represent those accused of a crime and what do you think she brings to that set of diverse views? >> depth and breadth. a deep judicial record and an incredibly broad judicial and legal experience. those things will enrich the conferences that the judges have when they decide which cases to take, a perspective that's fresh and perhaps unique to the court. so she

nick: ambassador steven mole, thank you very much.teven: thank you. ♪ vanessa: i'm vanessa ruiz for steph night sy. u.s. supreme court nominee ketanji brown jackson has picked up crucial support. west virginia democratic senator joe manchin said he will vote to confirm jackson. he called her supremely qualified. his vote for jackson could be vital. if all 50 senate republicans oppose her. and supreme court justice clarence thomas was released from a washington hospital today after a week long stay. the court had said thomas was treated for flu-like symptoms but did not have covid. his release came amid report that is his wife virginia thomas repeatedly texted former president trump's chief of staff in an effort to overturn the the 2020lection. we'll focus on that after the news summary. teachers in minneapolis have reached a tentative deal to end a strike that began on march 8th. about 29,000 students have been out of school since then. superintendent ed graph said he's looking forward to getting everyone back to class on monday. >> i

steven? >> such a crisis out there, we are just two weeks in, definitely going to continue watching that. thanks. >>> ali is back. you were showing us the situation where you are in kyiv. continue now, what is it looking like out there? >> yes, we are here in lviv where all the displaced people are getting off trains and trying to get on buses and cars and get out of here. to update you on kyiv it seems the russian troops amassed about 10 to 15 miles outside of the capital city by all accounts the bulk of the russian troops that are in this country are now on the outskirts of kyiv, and of course, the fear is that they are going to try and launch a much more robust, a much fuller attack on the capital city and try and encircle it as they have done in other cities across ukraine, but it's not clear whether they have the capability to do that, not least of all because they are facing fierce resistance from kyiv where the president is which is essentially a fortress city. the battle for kyiv will

good to see you, steven.ing restrictions and opening up, you've got shanghai, a city home to some 26 million people going into a two-stage lockdown. >> that's right, lynda. this really follows days of confusion or even chaos, both on the streets but also on line in terms of what authorities would do to shanghai, which is experiencing its biggest surge of covid cases since the pandemic begin. for days authorities denied they would impose a citywide lockdown. police in shanghai actually has launched investigations against so-called rumor mongerers about this imminent lockdown. now when you look at the numbers, 16,000 cases since march, but this is a city of 25 million people, use mentioned, it's still a very small fraction. and also, the overwhelming majority of these cases, 97%, asymptomatic. so all of this matching what we have seen elsewhere with the omicron variant. very contagious, but resulting in milder or cases with no symptoms that do not require much hospital care or even medical attention. but, you k

steven: you are right.cusing on the german markets since they first unveiled turnaround. who've already seed write-downs on loans given to nord stream 2, the pipeline that was about to open before russia invaded ukraine. that is now don -- that is now gone. many carmakers have announced production stops. we just heard someone talking about the impact on metals and what that means for the energy transition. all of that will have ripple effects for deutsche bank's. interesting to see how big. kailey: bloomberg steven arons, thank you so much. we all look forward to deutsche bank and guide's interview with the ceo tomorrow. coming up, flesh look at inflation in the u.s.. the cpi picture will not tell the whole story. this is bloomberg. ♪ guy: we will get a couple of takes on inflation tomorrow. the european central bank with its decision. we also get the projections on patient. we will get the inflation data out of the united states at the same time, just before christine lagarde's press conference. cpi number

yes or steven? i mean, if you have a stock split, what happens is that you could increase the amount of shares on the market on one side, on the other side to decrease the value of the stock. so let's say for example, we see a stock split in the ratio of 2 to one. that's probably what to test wants to do at this point. so if, for example, you own 10 test stocks, a $1000.00 each, that's worth $10000.00. so with the 2 ones the stock spent, you don't just have 10 shares, but 20 shares, but only worth 500 bucks at the end of the day. it's also worth $10000.00. but psychology is at play here and makes seem to be cheaper for market participants, especially retail investors are of the value for those already holding. the stock remains the same, but perhaps more retail investors come in. wall street really seems to like this. why is this such a winner today on wall street? it was a huge booster for the test stock and up by 8 percent on the day when we also heard that tests actually had to shutdown and produ

he w is steven steven beardsley, was on board the ship in the mediterranean. and he sent us this report. the constant wine of jet engines, day and night, aboard this carrier for years as harry s. truman lodges f, 18 super hornets. like these daily to patrol nato's eastern flank for stray russian jets. there are few on the sky with nato partners and remain on station for hours under nino command. it's a level coordination. the alliance has been practicing for decades to day with added urgency. ah, hello decks. the pressure is always high. now the chance of an encounter with russian aircraft added to it. yes, it's in the back of our mind. but i think that the level training we've gotten in our expectations relative to our rules of engagement is such that we're in a position to, to really deal with whatever comes with the truman is more than air power. it's accompanied by missile carrying destroyers, almost certainly a submarine, thousands of sailors work to keep operations going. they've been at sea for months, and no one knows how long the deployment will last.

germany, steven. president zelenskyy had a private zoom call with house and senate members on saturday asking for a no-fly zone over ukrainian airspace more economic aid and a ban on russian oil. that ban could come in a matter of delays. speaker pelosi said in her letter that congress is working on a bill that would bar the import of russian oil and energy products and take steps towards denying russia access to the world trade organization. >> we're in active discussions with our european partners about banning the import of russian oil to our countries >> i think there is very strong bipartisan support to cut off russian and gas sales to the united states. >> we should not allow vladimir putin to have the power at any moment to raise prices on americans by cutting us off; at some point now or in the future. we should cut him off now and replace it with american soil oil. >> the new legislation would focus on mitigating rising gas prices by releasing more oil from america's strategic reserves the na

hi, steven, uh the ruble. its a plummeting. does that mean that western sanctions are already having an effect response to the sanctions? we could say, right, we know that people don't want to be tied to a currency that's going to be incredibly limited and that's going to be the case of the ruble. and so wants that currency starts being traded in such a heavy way then that the values it and then people want to get rid of even more they do that. and so that precipitates the fall, the thing is, we haven't even seen the full exposure perhaps because trading has actually been sort of limited today. so it has been a historic drop, but it could have been even worse. we have seen capital controls come into place. we have seen these efforts to try and prop up create demand for the rubel. but the, i mean, the fact of the matter is these. this is an unprecedented level of sanctions. we've seen, we've never seen something like this for an economy as large as russia. the 11th largest economy in the world. sure, it's not china, it's not the

steven jiang joins me with more on this. good to see you, steven.s denying it's providing aid to russia. what all is china saying about this, particularly as it fails to condemn the violence? >> reporter: that's right, rosemary. the ambassador's remarks are consistent with china's longstanding condition, they are firmly opposed to all forms of sanctions saying they are not behind this conflict and they will maintain normal economic trade with russia. we have started noticing changes in the last several days. they are starting to mention ukraine's security concern as part of their consideration in formulating their position and policy with the ambassador and foreign ministry here also highlighting the humanitarian assistance to ukraine, even though it is small in scale. moments ago, the chinese foreign ministry announced more assistance to ukraine at $1.5 million. president xi still pointing to nato's eastern expansion into this root cause. but a reflection of beijing's concern about the u.s. building alliances to encircle china. with officials herei

an outstanding clerk for three different levels of the judiciary including retiring justice steven breyer. she has been before this judiciary committee. this will be her fourth time. she has been before three different times successfully with bipartisan support approved by the judiciary committee. the most recent was just this last year when she was approved for the d.c. circuit court. every single time she has come before the committee she has had bipartisan support. that as a source of pride in this day and age with the contentious partisanship that we have. she is an amazing person, personally. we talked about her background and things she had been through. and i would say that she is in a position now where she is prepared to come before the committee and before the senate and to win the nomination officially before the senate. i want to say a word about the timing of this, she is going to have a hearing before the committee on march 21. i informed senator grassley of that this morning. he is taking it to his caucus to announce that it's a date when we chose he did not change that is

steven gave will's teddy to a little girl who arrived on a coach with more than 100 other children.rl came and basicallyjust sat on my knee and oh, my heart sunk. and none of them said anything, it was smiles because they couldn't understand us, we couldn't understand them, so there wasn't a word said. it was just smiles and then, we were putting stickers on each other. and the girl who sat on my knee, it was just — i want to give it to her. it was seeing his own mum getting donations ready to give to steven that gave will the idea to pass on his teddy. i saw her packaging up and i asked her why and she said, "there's a war going on in ukraine". why did you want to give your teddy to somebody who'd had to leave their home in ukraine? it was just a kind thing to do. you would not want that to happen to you and you'd just be left with nothing. good afternoon. whilst many of us started off the day with a bit of blue sky and sunshine, it's not looking that way as we head through the remainder of the day, this was the picture during this morning in east lothian, but we've had that cloud

first lets of go to steven jiang in beijing. steven, hi again. any response from china for this call for assistance from russia? >> reporter: well, hala, the chinese foreign ministry is going to start its daily press briefing in just a few minutes. let's see what their spokesman will say. i expect officials to very much stick to their long-standing talking points to stress china's imposed partiality in this conflict and probably denouncing the u.s. effort to smear china and, again, blaming the u.s. and nato's eastward expansion for causing this war which, of course, is very much parroting a kremlin talking point. but this leak from washington, the timing of this is interesting as you mention because this is putting china under a spotlight for its role in this war just as jake sullivan is about to meet the key adviser to president xi jinping in rome in the coming hours. perhaps in anticipation of washington exerting more pressure over beijing, chinese state media has been trying to push back warning the u.s. against this approach and cautioning th

and for steven, had to endure 18 months now of covid. in addition to that, weather a hurricane. and in the meantime, he's managed to get this conference hall open and we're within shooting distance of the liberation pavilion. couldn't be more proud of you and our entire staff for getting us to this and we're all back together. thank you. [ applause ] well, i think you're in for a treat this afternoon. we have a very engaging subject and you've already heard from mike that we have some of the most preeminent scholars in the world to discuss the subject of great importance to all of us. let me make a few introductory marks because what we're all about on this podium and museum and staff, in a way, all of you who come and contribute. but we're interested in saving the history of world war ii and the american experience for all future generations as well as the current one. it's a special different topic. if you're looking at it from the point of view of how museums tell the story or memorials or popular culture like film and media. but the topic is navigating troubled waters. what

more from steven mcdonnell in beijing.orter: ask about the reports for military assistance for the invasion in ukraine, he said that recently the u.s. had been coming up with various theories to smear china. he described it as fake information, fake news, and yet china is also being accused of spreading its own misinformation. we had the foreign ministry spokesman again speaking about what was described by many as conspiracy theories that the u.s. has a sort of bio weapons program, campaign system in ukraine. the u.s. has said there are no bio weapons that we have in ukraine. this is a biosafety program we have with locals to make sure there's not an accident and this type of thing. so we have washington and beijing using this war to attack one another. beijing with that very dferent line and walking through a minefield, on one hand saying it's an independent player here and coul even be an intermediary for the war in ukraine, but it every turn, attempting to use this invasion as a way of attacking the u.s. and improving i

originally, ted stevens took it. the people who took it in 1995, the people said he could not take it because it was too expensive as a gift. but he could use it and display it for them but when he was out of the senate he wanted to put it in the museum. all of his pictures of his constituents were taken in front of that totem pole. he called me up one day after he had lost the election. i never saw him get mad, and he was extremely upset. i said what is wrong, senator? he said they are taking my totem pole. >> i said well, senator, don't take them out. put it in my office. when i take -- when i leave the job or die one or the other, it , will go to your museum but i will take care of it for you. that is why it is here. >> what is the biggest problem facing alaska right now? >> government overreach. we passed alaska national land act. i was very actively involved. thousands of acres were set aside. it was never outside of parks preserves. it was never meant to be that way. when we became a state, we voted for stateho

. >> steven, stay with us. i'm going to bring in natasha bertrand. what we heard from steven jiang said, do we believe they can move the needle and pressure putin? >> well, isa, they believe he can. the question is whether or not he is willing to. the european commission believes they can pressure him to implement a cease-fire. the question is whether he is willing to leverage that relationship to do so. the european foreign policy chief said that he also believes that china could pressure putin to try to end this war or at least allow humanitarian assistance and the humanitarian corridors to remain open and unhindered. the secretary of state in a recent visit to lithuania said china's actions are speaking much louder than its words. china has softened its position a bit saying they do support ukrainian sovereignty. they will make efforts to send aid into ukraine. blinken reiterating they see china as firmly behind russia here. there have been no concrete changes to their behavior that would suggest they are ready to open a diplomatic channel and ser

steven, thank you so much for joining us.iate it. >> thank you for having me. >>> another story we're following a senior u.s. air safety investigator will help the chinese government try and determine why a china eastern airlines flight crashed on monday. the boeing jet carrying 132 people lost contact before falling thousands of meters over the city. so far, no survivors have been found. according to chinese state media. cnn joins me now from beijing. with more on this. steven, video of this plane going down is chilling. and we don't know why it suddenly fell out of the sky. what's the latest on the investigation and of course help that is apparently on the way? >> the chinese investigators dozens of them on the scene. face the daunting task of locating and identifying and collecting a lot of pieces and debris of this aircraft. now as you can imagine they're most important and urgent task is find the two so called black boxes that are the plane flight data recorder as well as the cockpit voice recorder. these are the recorde

steven jiang joins me live from beijing.n, the video is horrifying showing this plane falling from the sky. what is the latest on the investigation? when might we know more about the cause of this? >> reporter: rosemary, dozens of investigators arriving at the scene facing this daunting task of trying to locate, identify and collect all of the pieces of debris from this fallen aircraft scattered across this mountain side. obviously their most important, urgent task remains to be trying to find the plane's two so-called black boxes, flight data recorder and cockpit recorder which could hold crucial information about how this plane behaved and what was said during the final moments before the deadly crash. now obviously as you mentioned before the plane is a boeing jet, there's already a u.s. team assembled led by the investigator from the national transportation safety board. the engine maker and the federal aviation administration, it's not clear right now if and when this u.s. team will be allowed to come here to china. tha

. >> okay, steven, thank you.ou've been talking about this not just on the peninsula but central valley is for the critics of the project, see we told you so, this is a mess. >> we're talking about thousands of different contractors and subcontractors, this is an accident, right, it happened, obviously nobody wanted it to happen. but i don't think it will impact the entire issue overall project. i will say, as we told you before, raj, originally voters voted for $9.9 billion to build this entire project and as we've reported for years now it looks like the prong project is going to cost closer to $100 billion, ten times what everybody originally estimated. >> inflation we're seeing it in realtime. >> a little bit more than inflation, absolutely. >> steven stock thank you for your reporting as well. >>> other headlines tonight. yes, baseball is back. it got ugly between the playersnd owners but now it's relatively speaking all good, giants and a's will start the season april 8th less than a month. today after weeks
