edward: u.s. cities saw violent protests and destruction in the streets this year but one city is now fighting back. detroit reportedly countersuing black lives matters activists for civil conspiracy, defaming the mayor and police. with me detroit police chief james craig. thank you for joining us. the lawsuit claims that civil conspiracy claiming the protests in city repeatedly turned violent endangering the lives of the police and the public. you're saying this is orchestrated for maximum harm to people? is that what it is say? >> here is what is the bottom line. take rashida tlaib. she say this is unthinkable assault on constitutional rights. that is absolutely wrong. first of all we supported the freedom of speech, peaceful protests in excess of 100 days of protests, in excess of 100 days, seven times over the course of the 100 times did we have to use force. two reasons. we were attacked or secondly we were making a lawful arrest, there is resistant. this notion about each and every protest w

>> they will, edward. like you talked about with unemployment, we're back to half of where we were with the job losses. we have work to go. consumer spending is going to be choppy. it's spotty. there's fits and starts. i don't believe this is the last stimulus package that we'll see. as this permeates throughout society, probably another one behind it and by then hopefully we have the vaccine permeation going on, too and that's when the economy can reopen and start to act like it used to. >> edward: so dani, do you see this money approved now, the six months it's going to help and the back half of the year is uncertain or is this going to last throughout the year? >> it's anybody's guess, really. unfortunately it's something that we don't know. i wouldn't even want to go. however, i will say the weight -- or the people the families have had to have the last nine months has put us behind globally in terms of competition. so i really would like to see our biden administration turn it up a notch to get things

there is also a man from the azores and that is edward -- as the edward kerry sailed all over the world, they would pick up sailors along the way. that will add to the diversity of the crew. the first whaling crews created the first meritocracy in the colonies, the and a young man who could prove his worth, could climb up the ladder and eventually achieve success on a whaling voyage. maybe become a mate, maybe even become a captain. pictured here we have -- boston who was the first african-american captain of a whaleship with an all-black crew. the edward kerry is going to -- 1854, thiswar, was a really emotional time when ships departed nantucket. most of the town would be waving goodbye. these men will be away from the town for four years, a really young -- long time to be away from your loved ones. voice, theticular edward kerry is going to go around the cape of good hope into the indian ocean and eventually into the pacific, hunting whales. bemarily they are going to looking for spur whales, why? why do they want to gets perm whales?- get sperm means large,c name full headed whale.

and what happened to the edward kerry? it went out in 1858 and stopped in san francisco where it was sold and resumed its whaling. then, in 1865, it was captured and burned by the confederate shenandoah and that was the end of the edward kerry. so now -- people would think that probably the 19th century was the heyday of whaling, but actually it was the 20th century when soviet fleets, european fleets, asian fleets started hunting whales for meat rather than for oil and surprisingly in the 200 years of whaling that nantucket was doing, approximately one million whales were killed, but in the 50-60 years of more modern whaling where they have big factory ships and grenades and harpoon guns and so on, over 3 million -- it is estimated over 3 million whales have been killed. whale populations are still quite threatened, they really are under considerable threats from drilling in the sea, from pollution and garbage, entanglement with fishing gear and collisions with other ships. that is the end of our whale talk, i am so glad

happened to the edward carey? voyage out on another from 1858-1864, and then stopped in san francisco where it was sold, and then resumed its whaling. then, in 1865, it was captured and burned by the confederate raider, shenandoah, and that was the end of the edward carey. so now, whaling was completed over in the town of nantucket. people would think that probably the 19th century was the heyday of whaling, but actually it was whenof the 20th century, soviet fleet, european fleets, asian fleets started hunting whales for meat rather than for oil. surprisingly, in the 200 years of whaling that nantucket was doing, approximately one million whales were killed. but in the 50 to 60 years of more modern whaling where they have big factory ships and grenades and harpoon guns and so on, it is estimated that over 3 million whales have been killed. whale populations are still quite threatened, they really are under considerable threat from noise levels, loud drilling in the sea, from pollution and garbage, entanglement wi

edwards. manus, it is great to be on the program with you as we perhaps see some brexit progress on the weekend, defined as a continuation of talks. still locked in the same conversation, the trade-off between access and rule alignment. a level playing field perspective. interesting to hear you play that clip of david loom talking about the pound and how nobody cares about the details. in the markets command that might be the case. but for businesses in the u.k., some of the details included in that deal, if we get one, will be crucial. manus: absolutely, and i just wonder to what extent, david was perhaps slightly tongue-in-cheek with that nobody cares, but you are right, there is a potential for businesses to deal with serious issues at the ports, logistics, etcetera, is very high. if you look at the language, i was struck by boris johnson when he said, we are very far apart. there are serious issues that separate us. there is a clarity and a simplicity in the wto for brexit, but bloom, enca

edward mills has spent a lot of 213. in f he is a wonderful policy analyst with true experience on capitol hill. and is going on in s213 those hallways around it? forget about the media blather, what is the backstory of negotiations on capitol hill? edward: i think politics continue to get away. ,hat we saw before the election i think everyone i talked to was saying they were not sure if nancy pelosi wanted to get a deal, certainly did not want to give president trump a victory before the election. now that the election is behind us, we have two races in georgia and most conversations i have is that mitch mcconnell is the person does not want to get a deal. we have a bipartisan group of senators trying to advance a $900 billion package. we have a government funded deadline tonight and a defense bill that has been passed every year since world war ii that needs to get done. tom: you can line up all the senate majority leaders, republican and democrat, and the fact that we need to pay for the pentagon and get a defense bil

it is a story of edward snowden, who he is, how he did what he did, why he did what he do, and it takes you behind the scenes of our interaction, generally and source. it's a story of the surveillance state and the content of the revelations that snowden made about the nsa and the change of boundaries that it secretly put into effect after 9/11 so that there were -- there were lines that were crossed after 9/11 that the american people did not know about. and the third is a more personal memoir which i did not expect to write, but it's the story of the investigation, the investigative reporting that went into this. it brings you into the news room, into moscow hotel rooms and into all the places. when i was doing my own reporting and the dilemmas and risks and in some cases dangers that i faced. >> i should say, just in closing that opening discussion of dark mirror that there's a way, readers, that you'll find in bart's book, a modern, highly technical version of the sorts of dilemmas and dramatic that we associate with all the president's men. stakes are high and bart takes us inside

edward smith is still with us this morning. her.eard what is the risk of a stopgap recovery going into 2021 for the united kingdom? edward: i think it is quite high. lockdown in november. 11% would shave off about from the u.k. economy. we penciled in a 9% rise in december to unwind a lot of that negative affect, but now, it's looking more like perhaps seven percent growth because of these extra restrictions. that will leave the u.k. economy still 12% below the pre-covid high watermark at the end of the year and not getting back above water until the end of 2022. that makes the u.k. -- that means the u.k. is going to have one of the worst economic outcomes. 42 developed and emerging economies we keep tabs on as well as one of the worst health outcomes. it is not a great place to be invested in domestic names looking for a recovery story right now. does the prospect of a anemic word about a brexit deal, whatever shapes and complexion -- will that change the flow? will that demonstrably change the flow into one of the most under

edwards: i'm not clear on that. the french government's position on that is pretty strong and pretty consistent on it, and france is not alone on seeking a very strong position on fishing. look at ireland. look at the netherlands as well. that said, there is a distinction on the eu side between those coastal states and who mightf the bloc actually want a deal rather more than they care about the fishing industry. francine: great, thank you so much. edward evans there, who has also canceled christmas, from bloomberg. still with us, salman ahmed. there is trading fatigue. is this a very u.k. problem, or is there a wider indication if we get a no deal, what it means for financial stability and for europeans on that side? francine, it is becoming a sterling problem more than a u.k. problem. i think the bank of england has come down. there is a great chance of coming occasion that in the shape of a no deal, they will provide liquidity. so that is important, to give confidence to the market that they won't have liquidity

now at this point donald trump still has time to pardon julian assan john edward snowden he can hand out presidential pardons up until the moment when he leaves office but many look at the fact that these military contractors who were convicted of killing civilians in iraq have just received a pardon and looked at the 15 pardons and 5 commutations that were handed down today and are a little bit past a mystic many of the activists in support of edward snowden and julian a songe are thinking that the trumpet ministration has indicated it is moving in another direction with its last minute decisions thinking this through that story today from new york killa blog. postings stateside where u.s. lawmakers have been given early access to cope with vaccines some are helping to accept others a politician should not be given priority were frontline medics. if enough of us take kids we'll get back to normal help is on the way. it isn't appropriate for me it was only gotten the virus has immunity to get in front of elderly health care workers same goes for any young healthy person they should b

edward lawrence live with the details on this. edward? reporter: cornell the trump administration filed the lawsuit against facebook a few hours ago. the lawsuit says non-u.s. employees it was sponsoring for visas got high-paying jobs rather than looking for similarly qualified americans. in the lawsuit it outlines the department of justice facebook inadequately advertised at least 2600 jobs from 2018 through 2019. court papers say those jobs were filled by non-u.s. residents on high-skilled visas. those people were also ones facebook sponsored for a green card. the lawsuit claims that the tech giant did not advertise the jobs on its website and also required applicants to mail in resume's and not apply on line. the department of justice says even when u.s. workers do apply, facebook will not consider them for advertised positions. simply put facebook reserves the position for temporary visa holders. the jobs had average sal rid of $156,000 a year. facebook denies the claim saying this, facebook is cooperating with the department of justi

edwards. members of the ramos court were divided on how to reconcile the decision with then existing precedent. this division cleared two paths to holding that ramos applies retro actively, two paths providing a remedy to those jailed by a jury scheme that we know is wrong and is unconstitutional. for some justices, it was dead on rile since it was foreclosed by precedent. for these justices, it provided no presidential value and ramos is an old rule dictated by precedent. for other justices, it was a wrongly decided decision that it needed to be overruled. for these members of the court, ramos should be a watershed rule requiring retroactivity as this restores fairness and accuracy to jury trials in louisiana. both paths remedy something we know to be wrong. both paths will provide the promise of a fair trial to all louisianans. mr. chief justice, i'm ready to entertain questions from the court. >> thank you, counsel. i think your biggest hurdle is the court's decision where we held that the

those guys get pardoned and not edward snowden? >> what is the most compelling argument you've heard for not giving snowden a pardon? >> the most compelling argument, he broke the law. if you pardon him it sets a precedent any member of the government can decide what to leak to the president. gives unilateral power to every employee from the thousands working in national security and intelligence. what he did, unprecedented what he exposed unprecedented. not trivial or petty. people blame him for the storied published. he handed them ever to "the guardian," and the "washington post" can and's journalists decided what to publish. blame them, not snowden. our job, expose the truth. expose information the government may not want you to know. in his case, the central thing he revealed was warrantless mass surveillance or americans now partly, not fully changed. we owe him for that. >> hmm. the worst part of any day having you on the show when nick says in my ear. got to go. can't stand that. anyway, heamehdi hasan. >> i'll come back an
