in the past year victor turned 18, moved out, sold over 18 million dollars worth of his art, got hise came out. >> it's almost like your life kind of changed overnight. >> kind of, honestly the day after i sold my first nft it gave me that confidence and ever since has just kept growing. >> there's an art revolution going on and ferocious is at the center. >> the fact that everyone's talking about it that we're doing this, this is really surreal. >> the 18-year-old is making bank through issue his art as nf t 's a cryptocurrency-backed system that's one of the hottest trends of 2021. >> this is a very unique moment in time for art. >> in what initially seemed like a niche market now everyone wants a piece, from musicians, to athletes, to hollywood's biggest stars. >> before we go any further you're probably wonder what an nft is. nft. nonfungible token. viral moments like disaster girm or charlie bit my paper, trading cards even jack dorsey's first tweet go for hundreds and thousands of dollars, even millions, everyone seems to be attacking about it, no one seems to know what it is.

we know that victor, oregon. a study is not backing down. many you leaders are saying this law is homophobic and i want to play a clip now of what the dutch prime minister had to say. for me last me hungry no longer has to please me you. but unfortunately with the system we have, i can't, or the other 26 member states can't just tell them to leave. that needs to be done, step by step. and in the meantime, we hope dillard apt. i will send her some very strong words from the dutch prime minister there. how is this likely to play out? well, this was definitely a very bold statement, and i think it's fair to assume that our leaders and we're thinking the same. however, it's not up to them, but i'm too hungry to decide whether they're still saying they belong to the european union. that is how the european union works. however, it's important to stress that the leaders really had a very heated, a very emotional discussion. but what is coming next is victor open as it appears is not going to back down then. you are a p and commission has announced

victor? >> and wait and see we will. thank you. >>> top of the hour. i'm victor blackwell. it is good to be with you. we begin with a critical week for the biden administration's foreign policy vision. both the president and the vice president are making their first trips abroad. right now vice president kamala harris is in mexico city. she's declaring a new era in u.s./mexican relations during a meeting with the mexican president. it's the second leg of her trip to central america to address the surge in illegal border crossings. president biden is traveling to europe tomorrow with a packed schedule. g-7 meetings, a meeting with queen elizabeth, nato summit, first face-to-face since taking office with vladimir putin of russia. that comes in the wake of several suspected russian cyber attacks. cnn white house correspondent phil mattingly is with us. what is the president's big-picture goal here, the big headline when it comes to diplomacy? >> reporter: i think there's an understanding these a

so victor has been known to step back, once things get too hot for him in the past.e may in this case. or he may be stubborn and ford forward. there's no telling at the moment. brent: remind us, what is it about this new law in hungary that is so controversial? there are plenty of aspects, but what is it that is most controversial? >> this law has the label on it to allow for the protection of children -- people up to 18 years. but it mentions in the same regulations, the same bill, punishments for pedophiles and protections against the depiction of lgbtq people, that is no more gay couples or no lesbian couples, or whatever, and we don't know how far this could really reach. imagine if tv series running in the early evening, this is not just about schools. imagine advertising, never again to have, sexuality. this could have a very strong impact. it is clearly since the eu values and roles, this combination about sexual or indigenous strickler for bidding -- sexual orientation is strictly forbidden. brent: let's go back then to victor o., his future, what can brussel

. >> i'm victor blackwell. thank you. president biden's agenda is facing a critical test at home and abroad. working to shore up an infrastructure deal with republicans. the president is scheduled to speak with republican senator shelley moore capito today. but the two are hundreds of billions of dollars apart. congressional democrats are working to secure deals on policing overhalls and voting legislation before the end of june. >> as this as joe biden and kamala harris take the first international trips since being elected. vice-president hairness guatemala today is discuss illegal migration. and president biden leaves wednesday for a week long trip to europe where he attends the g 7 and nato summits. his goal to strengthen the trans-atlantic relationships that unraveled under president trump but other countries are wary so the stakes are high. cnn's white house correspondent phil mattingly joins us. so let's start with the oversea's track. national security adviser jake suvrlen says the ransomware attacks will be a top

. >> i'm victor blackwell. good to be with you.e seeing disturbing violent new video of the capital insurrection released add short time ago. we have to warn you the video you're about to see does contain profanities. >> i have your back. i have your back. you protect me. i'll protect you. i have your back. i have your back. >> all right. >> what the you are doing. now -- one idea. >> don't talk to me. >> what the -- don't tell people the -- >> no they work with us. >> y'all. >> normal tourist visits some congressman said. prosecutor say the video you saw shows scott fair lamb purging a capitol officer in the face. now charged with assaulting police. as you know all this happened there in front of the capitol. >> this is just the latest video of the violence from that day. there is plenty more. and with every new video a new claim from right-wing cable hosts and republicans in congress you can't trust your own eyes, their latest efforts to whitewash the horrible day are dangerous and insulting and extremely anti-law enforcement. 21

the irony shouldn't be lost on anyone, victor.rants and accusation or spying on an american for any reason. we don't know if they're just carrying out their checks as a co-equal branch of government to investigate an abuse of power. it's crazy and appalling. >> now that we know this information, john, doesn't it put into a whole new light the peculiar response that bill barr gave to then senator kamala harris during that senate judiciary committee hearing where he doesn't understand the suggestion of the word or words to that effect. >> has the department of justice suggested you open an investigation of anyone? >> i wouldn't -- wouldn't -- >> yes or no. >> could you repeat that question. >> i will repeat it. has the president or anyone at the white house ever asked or suggested that you open an investigation of anyone, yes or no, please, sir? >> the president or anybody else -- >> seems you'd remember something like that, be able to tell us. >> i'm trying to grapple with the word suggestion. there have been discussions of matters

victor, thank you so much. of course, so many families are anxiously waiting news about their missing loved ones. abc's stephanie ramos is also right there in surfside. she's coverie, good morning to . >> reporter: dan, good morning. families here are not giving up hope. search efforts have been teams, however, working through the night desperately searching again for scores of people unaccounted for. this morning, families and friends are hoping for a miracle. the wait for news is agonizing for bettina obias. she says her aunt and uncle were likely in their apartment the night it collapsed. >> when i first went through the location of her apartment, i screamed and cried the. >> reporter: bettina calls her aunt her second mom saying both her aunt maria and uncle claudio bonnefoy have lived a full life but she feels for the children who may have also been in the tower. >> when i was walking down here yesterday, a lady was crying, and she says, my brother or uncle arrived last night with his five children. they w

we know that victor, oregon is not backing down. you later see say a majority of them say that this is homophobic. i want to play you what the dutch prime minister had to say from a last me hungry no longer has to please me you. but unfortunately with the system we have, i can't do it. the other 26 member states can't just tell them to leave, that needs to be done step by step. and in the meantime, we hope they'll adapt center. the dutch prime minister saying if you ask me hungry, no longer has a place in the you, i mean, that is a strong statement. where is this headed? well, we have to say here that, that, that prime minister doesn't decide whether hungry can stay within the block or not . it's up to hungry. that's how the european union works. but of course, we have to consider how heated and emotional this discussion at the summit over the new hungary, lo, apparently was and, and now after the discussion, there was no real results, no outcome because victor over and seems not to be backing down. so now we will have legal battle,

hi, my name is victor teal. i'm a political scientist currently working as a visiting scholar at the university of cambridge center for research in social sciences and humanities. nice to have a law. introduce yourself to the team audience phase. hi, i'm dr. here you see me lecturing international development. i work at kings college, london, u. k. and welcome back to the streaming e. get the last i'm eager was on. we were talking about a change to child policy and that was added an extra kid. so lovely to have you back in ego remind our audience who you are and what you do. hi friends, over the world. i'm good though. and right now, a professor of sociology and global gender studies at the university, new york buffalo and i work on gender care work and social reproduction. china, i guess i'm really curious about your reaction. when you heard about this new chao policy, ega use dot show right? time, really fast. last time i was interview interview with about the to the 5 years ago. and i vaguely recall i meant t

i'm victor blackwell. >> and i'm alisyn camerota. a worthy advisory, as president joe biden prepares for his visit with [ expletive ]. >> the two will meet in geneva, switzerland, expected to last four or five hours. they will not share a meal. >> biden has been preparing intensely for this conversation and the issues discussed are contentious and complicated. >> joining us live from brussels, cnn chief white house correspondent kaitlan collins. intense growing list of topics they'll discuss. >> reporter: there a lot of topics to discuss and so far you've seen had the putin in the interview be pretty dismissive of what it is he and president biden are expected to talk about, excuse me, including human rights and of course election interference,s ran someware hackings going on with russia. all of the matters are something that will make this a very intense conversation. we're waiting to see what it's going to look like when they're in the room together. we know victor and alisyn what the format will look like a little bit. the white h

i'm going to show you this chart as victor for our audience as well. so we're looking this, the orange columns here for the year is $950.00 to 2020. this is how the population in china has grown and is growing. and then the red line here, the birth rate between the sixties and seventies, it went up and then lower and lower and lower and lower victor. that's the, that's the, that's the dry bit. what does that mean in reality? in china? what could you see right now where you can see how the population is declining or the birthright in particular is declining? well, i can, i can see that china is going through and expect the experience that is kind of common in east asia. it compares a china will have a relatively similar experience in it's demographics of visa, visa, south korea, and japan. so today in china, i, if i'm not wrong the, that the average of both for it is about $1.00. but in south korea, it's 1 point one. oh, $1.00 and in japan is around $1.00. so as the countries modernize us and the cost of living increases, you will see that the nitro, th

so there's always something that can be done. victor over it is no fool. he doesn't use this slightly. he always has something up. we say that he want. if we do say power being consolidated among the bigger players in europe, what risks would not create for european unity? could we see more nations following the u. k to the exit door while i hope so. i mean, i think it would be the death of democracy. i know that the, the, the, the reason behind the, the, the treaty of ryan was a close to union. but not so much that near there is just a european germany. the other all spoke, speaking with the one single voice, every nation within that the 27 nations left. have their own history, have their own problems, have their own outlooks on, on the wider world. they should be allowed to keep those without being forced into a corner or bribed and bullied by by the logic asians, and chipping away at democracy. you know, for what is within the block. that's not a good look either. is it not really? i mean, the problem with the use is really desperately wants to be seen

we know victor, oregon is not backing down. you leaders. many of them saying it is homophobic. and i want to play what the dutch prime minister had to say. for many last me hungry no longer has to please me you. but unfortunately with the system we have, i cant or the other 26 member states can just tell them to leave. that needs to be done step by step. in the meantime, we hope dillard's kept. i said that that is a pretty bold statement from the prime minister. that hungry may not have a place in the you anymore. so how is this, if you're going to play out? well, this is a very bold statement. indeed, and i think it's fair to assume that although you leaders with thinking the same when they have this heated emotional discussion about a new law in hungry. but we have to say that this is, of course, up to 100 hungry to decide whether they would like to stay in the european union or not. and now after this very heated summit, we are sort of to speak back to business. the european commission has announced he is that it is triggering legal proceedings over this new legislation in h

explain this. >> reporter: hello, victor. well, he's essentially threatening to veto the funding for the legislative branch of the texas state government, so this isn't just a move that would affect democratic lawmakers. it would affect all of the lawmakers. but more importantly, it would affect thousands of staffers, nonpartisan staffers, that work in state government there in austin. so, this is quite the threat that the governor is making. he ended this tweet when he made this threat yesterday by saying, stay tuned, so the real question is whether or not he's going to follow through on this threat or figure out some other way of getting at the democrats who walked out of the last hour and a half of the legislative session on sunday night, essentially running out the clock and killing this controversial voting bill, at least for now. the next question that everyone is looking out for here in texas is, when exactly is governor greg abbott going to call this special session and bring lawmakers back to work in austin to tackle

victor, alisyn? >> 287 people killed, more than 1,000 injured and we're just a little more than five months into this year. le leyla santiago, thank you. >>> eight people from chicago injured when someone started shooting from a car. five people fatally shot in the city. the police superintendent says the murder rate is on a downward trend. >> cnn's omar is in chicago for us. omar, what do we hear today? >> reporter: well, alisyn, victor, the rates for murder and shootings are both up here in chicago as we head into the summer months. typically the higher end of the bell curve for violent crime, as the police department describes it. now, even within that, you look at this past weekend, 55 people were shot and five reported dead. and that comes a week after a memorial day weekend where we saw the lowest number of people killed than we'd seen in a decade. even within these higher rates, the chicago police superintendent has point to what he says are signs of progress, even within, again, these higher

this is directed firmly towards hungry, budapest, and prime minister of hungry victor. or bon, the reason is stating victor, all bands being too overzealous when it comes to the use of this v t. so hungry use the veto just last week to stop a joint statement on hong kong. they've done something similar back in april as well. and just recently, budapest, nick's the another statement from the european union, calling for a a ceasefire in hostilities between palestinians and the state of israel. we've also seen poland and hungary team up to delay the signing the ratification of the, the you budget, just last year. now what the response to this from hungary has been as well. victor oberon, the hungarian prime minister, is far from happy with german foreign minister hiker muss the european left led by the german left as once again to talking hungry in an outrageous tone. this time on the basis that our country wasn't willing to sign a joint declaration on hong kong that lacked any political weight and seriousness whatsoever. we will exercise our rights guaranteed by the europ

>> reporter: hi, victor and alisyn. well, that's right.stigation comes after reports last fall citing mostly anonymous former employees of dejoy's who said that while they work for dejoy, they felt pressure at times to donate to republican candidates, and even going further than that, some saying that when they did donate, they were reimbursed through bonuses. now, while louis dejoy does deny these claims, it should be noted that he is, in fact, a mega donor to the republican party. now, it appears that these claims are the center of this investigation. i want to read to you from a statement from dejoy's spokesperson. he says, mr. dejoy has learned that the department of justice is investigating campaign contributions made by employees who worked for him when he was in the private sector. he has always been scrupulous in his adherence to campaign contribution laws and has never knowingly violated them. again, this is someone who is a known republican mega donor and is important to note this is a man whose tenure as postmaster general has b

so let's go back into victor or bon his future. what can brussels actually do to make him see the light? to make him see the light really nothing. basically, they've been having this the increasingly illegally lead death row with him for a year or 2. now, because the problem is they've been looking on as our been develop more and more into an awful tread for years and nobody interfered. and i'm going to america ahead ahead and that we must say. and so finally everybody. so i know this is not good. we can have this country in our midst in the middle of europe, somebody who's saying i'm and 5 democrats. so now they're really trying to sort of retrieve ground that they have lost and fight him in the courts bought many of service. you say the only thing that will make the victim of a retreat and step back is going if his money is being turned off. if the 1000000000 streaming into hungry from european coffers every years will not come anymore, then he is going to hurt. and then his rule will get into difficulties. yeah. and he may not l

ah, victor tries to find a sense of humour in his everyday surroundings. this is where he gathers ideas. the challenge lies in bringing the ideas back to the studio and turning them into many works of art. the finished product isn't always what he expects. sometimes i didn't notice i did so move as i move. and after this time i kept surprising myself. and victor continues to surprise his fans as well with his unique and unusual classic form of animated photography. the. we're heading outdoors now into the german countryside, which for documentary filmmaker, yon huffed, is a world in and of itself. every pedal, every when you beat fascinates him now with a new book and a new film half is hoping to share his fascination, especially with their germans, who often travel outside their own country to experience nature, killer nature images from germany. the me, depending me finding something positive in the pen. demik is almost cynical job, but of course the fact that we all had to stay home means we now value the nature that surrounds our homes or villages and

victor gao in beijing, welcome to hardtalk. thank you very much for having me.00th anniversary of the chinese communist party. would you agree that perhaps that's more a recognition of the party's devotion to raw power than it is to ideological purity? well, i think china is celebrating the centenary of the founding of the communist party of china, the biggest, largest, most important political party ever in human history, with almost 100 million party members. and the party is, indeed, invasive. it's omnipotent and omnipresent. however, i would say if any political force anywhere in the world really has some justification to be very proud of its achievements, it is the communist party of china. it has very solid track records. and i think this celebration is not only celebrating the communist party of china, but also the great transformation that china has gone through over the past a245 years in particular, or ever since 1949. this is not a celebration of the power grip. this is truly a good occasion for everyone to celebrate why we are the chinese today, and

so let's go back into victor or bought his future. what can brussels actually do to make him see the white? to make him see the light really nothing. basically, they've been having this increasingly illegally lead death row with him for a year or 2. now, because the problem is they've been looking on as our been develop more and more into an art of tread for years and nobody interfered. and uncle america had a hand and that we must say. and so finally, everybody thought, no, this is not good. we can have this country in our midst, middle of europe, somebody who's saying i'm and 5 democrats. so now they're really trying to sort of retrieve ground that they have lost and fight him in the chords bought many of service. you say the only thing that will make the victim of a retreat defect is going if his money is being turned off. if the 1000000000 streaming into hungry from european coffers every years will not come any more than he is going to hurt. and then his rule will get into difficulties. and he may not like it either. if hungary l
