so while he was pulling double duty on the boards of one west and relativity, one west had to report the size of the insider loans the bank was making to relativity. as a share of bank capital, one west's insider loans exceeded 94 of the country's biggest 100 financial institutions. unfortunately mr. mnuchin's time with relativity didn't go so hot. each year from 2012 to 2014 the studio suffered eight or nine-figure losses. finally in 2015 relativity's problems came to a head but it owed one west and mr. mnuchin a huge sum of money. on may 29, 2015, mr. mnuchin quit the board. a few days later funds totaling $50 million in cash were swept back to one west. one account was earmarked to pay gild expenses, salaries for everyday contractors and production tradespeople. that put the nail in relativity's coffin and the studio declared bankruptcy. mr. mnuchin's adventure putting one west money into relativity might have been a big mess, but it sure didn't do much damage to the bank's bottom line. around the time relativity crumbled, one west was purchased by an even bigger group, the c.i.t.

we forget that african-americans who were in the west therm brought to the west as slaves first in texas in into the indian territory that 2350*eu6 civilized tribe when is they left the southeast and moved to overwhelm took their slaves with them. and so -- african-americans have always been in the west they didn't just show up suddenly. after the civil war, more left to form communities in the west consider g concern as exo dust the wortd from the book in the bible. most roongtly i bought a book from the university of oklahoma press, which was just published on the town of nick dee mous and within of the all black communities reformed as they tried to find a new life of freedom a place in the american west. if you watched the cowboy movies or if you watched the cowboy programs, 100% of the almost angle and, in fact, 30% of the cowboys in the west were either aron american, historic american and even native american, in fact, out here east of fresno, east of jordan community, and the blasting game ranch, they hired many native americans to run their sheep and cattle. so this is something

and shaped by the west. quest during book tvs recent visit to fresno california we spoke with author blain roberts who reports on another side of the civil rights movement in the jim crow south. >> the title of my book is "pageants, parlors and pretty women: race and beaauty in the twentieth-century south" one of the real jumping off points of this aside from all these conversations that i had with others about how seven willie women were beautiful is the fact that white southern women have a track record of doing very well at beauty pageants. and you can document this, we can see that we have a dispro

this is not only outside of our west, but inside our west. i see developments, movement where people are looking for more authoritarian answers within our european union -- european and transatlantic community. second, we have to do a lot of balance, i will come back to that the second. defensewe have to be in of globalization, but we have to change what we are doing right now. there are no doubts about it, if we continue to go on with globalization as we are in now, it ultimately leads to protectionism and xenophobia, economys to a political of the geopolitical elite. what we see this moment in america, in the u.k., is the rest of hours -- risk of our social contract. economy?en our distinctiveas a plow or -- platform of trade and intercultural of them. the trade is always being determined by a social contract. if people have the sense that their governments and the distrust and their politics, would we find in the west , isher you like it or not going to answer to this. globalization will be identified with the wrong west, in my view. but i

, but inside our west. i see movements. i see developments in which people are looking for more authoritarian answers within our european and transatlantic community. second if we want to be in defense of open societies, we have to do a lot about it. i'll come back to that in a second. second, i think we have to be in defense of globalization, but i think we have to change what we are doing right now. there's no doubt about it that if we continue the way that we're supporting globalization right now, it either leads to protectionism or it leads to some politics or political economy of a kos month pelite. that will lead to an end of social contracts. what we see is the risk of our social contracts. we do open the economies. my country is completely dependant on trade. the size and openness of our countries, but the openness has always been determined by a social contract. if people have the sense that their governments and their distrust in their politics, which we find in the west if we like it or not, is n

west requested them. as far as i can tell, one west never attempted to process the loan phod indication. -- modification. the foreclosure went through and woe lost our home on september 10, 20. the foreclosure left us without a home and finding new rental was extremely difficult because of our credit. juggling the demands of raising our twins and this was so hard. the foreclosure even meant that our kids had to miss skaopl. event -- school. eventually we did find a new place but had to pay outrageous rent even though it was not a good home for us at all. it's hard for us to explain the shame, embarrassment, and grief that jack and i felt. i cried a river of tears over this. i really didn't think we were asking for too much. we wanted to hang on to our home for the sake of our kids and we did everything we could to stay in our home. while i will probably never know exactly what one west did, the outcome of my story proves that steve mnuchin's company had no interest in helping us. they wanted to foreclose

to one west for back loans. total payments from the federal deposit insurance corporation of one west, including payments from loans made one west a came to $1.22 billion it did not take long for mr. mnuchin to roll out -- for the banks to be investigated. they had to concerns about one west's foreclosure practices. this, in my view, is where you see the guts of the foreclosure machine beginning to show itself. west president worked under mr. mnuchin admitted under oath to the practice known as robo signing. this witness said she signed more than 750 foreclosure documents a week without reading them, and with no notary present during the process. that is a violation of the law. when asked how much time she spent executing each foreclosure document, ms. johnson replied, and i quote -- i changed my signature considerably. e now.ust an so no more than 30 seconds. and it was not just miss johnson p ritchie was a part of an entire team operating at this pace. were aboutthat there 1100 document signed by her office ea

we forget that african-americans were in the west. they were brought to the slaves in the west first in texas and of the indian territory. when they left the southeast and removed to oklahoma, took their slaves with them. and so african-americans have always been in the west. they didn't just show up suddenly. after the civil war, more african-americans left the south , performed communities in the west. ey were referred to as exoddist, the word from the book in the bible. most recently, i bought a fwrook the university of oklahoma press which was just published on the town in kansas. and this is now a state park in kansas. this is one of the many all-black communities that were formed as they try to find a new life of freedom and a place in the american west. if you watched the cowboys movies or if you watched the cowboy programs, 100%, almost 00% of the cowboys are anglos. in fact, over 30% of the cowboys in the west were either african-american, hispanic-american and even native-american. out here east of fresno, east of -- joining

west tennessee. we have got to work on improving the economic environment. i think one clear way that that can be done at the federal level is tax relief. i look forward to working with president-elect trump to accomplish that. very concerned about health care. you know the stories. i have heard from real people all throughout west tennessee during this congressional campaign and afterwards that they simply can't afford health care, that their premiums have doubled and tripled going back to last several years that they're working, going to need to work two and three jobs. not only the premiums but the deductibles and the fact that they were promised by president obama that they could keep their doctors and their doctors are not available on their health insurance plans, so it's clear to me that obamacare needs to be repealed and that's something i'm looking forward to doing very early on in this term. then again, national security and terrorism. i'm really excited to work with president-elect trump a

we forget that african-americans were in the west. they were brought to the west as slaves, first in texas, and to the indian territory. but the five civilized tribes, when they left the southeast and were moved to oklahoma, took their slaves with them. so, african-americans have always been in the west. they didn't just show up suddenly. after the civil war, more african-americans left the south to form communities in the west. they are referred to as xo exo dusters from exodus, the book in the bible. recently i bought a book from the university press. this is from one of the many all black communities that were formed as they tried to find a new life of freedom and a place in the american west. if you watch the cowboy movies or if you watch the cowboy programs, 100%, almost 100% of the cowboys are anglos. in fact, over 30% of the cowboys in the west were either african-american, hispanic american, and even native american. and east of fresno, east of the adjoining community of clovis, they hired many native americans. so, this is so

we might start with some cloud in the south—west of england from the same low the south—west of england from the same low pressure the south—west of england from the same low pressure that is heading into france. sunshine across other parts of england and wales. as we had northwards, more showers and they may well have cleared up for northern ireland. a poor day to come for the central belt of scotland. close to the low pressure. we will find rain and hill snow and close to the low pressure. we will find rain and hillsnow and it close to the low pressure. we will find rain and hill snow and it will feel cold. 0ne find rain and hill snow and it will feel cold. one or two showers developing to the south of that but developing to the south of that but developing in other parts of scotland. for most of england and wales, at dry and sunny day but a cold. seven or eight degrees. later, some showers in the south—west that organises into a rant of rain that organises into a rant of rain that organises into a rant of rain that organises into tomorrow night. maybe some snow. a touch of frost,

the west bank is not called the west bank, it's in terms of bureaucracy, policing and it's called the region of the state of israel. end of story. there is no west bank, and the palestinian whether it's in the west bank or the other part of the country. they live close even though they're segregated. geographically it's impossible to do. there is no area that you can slice out and say well this will be a palestine and israel. there's another problem. when it was established close to many were forced out of their home. today we have about five million palestinians living in refugee camps,ed a jekt poverty and horrible conditions, and they are banned from returning. you know, there is a ban, they're not allowed to return. the state of israel passed a law banning their rights to return. they have a right to return and their homes are not in the west bank. they are all over the country. >> so, you have three issues here. you have land, the issue of land. now that's going to be divided. you have obviously the need for a jewish state. and you have democracy. >> right. >> land, jewish state,

the west went to putin, he did not go to the west. they say to him, come and save us in libya, we made a mistake in libya, please save us. president obama said, the gravest mistake which i regret in my two terms — intervention in libya. they admit that they made mistakes. it was the british and french, who were very proud of it at the time. where does this leave us? the argument has been, eight years of obama, he was terrible. america withdrew from the world stage, left this vacuum, putin said thank you very much, i can solve several problems, brutally, but i can do it. putin wants to re—establish russia's dominance, political and military positioning in the region. russia lost billions of dollars in arms and oil contracts in libya after gaddafi was ousted and killed. this is part of putin's effort to re—establish his geopolitical power in the region. whether or not putin backing the general is going to stem the flow of refugees, isn't it going to undermine the stability of the country, the un peace process, and leave europe out

west virginians. and i'm a west virginiaen. around i just want goodness for our state. i've said it over and over and over. there will be somebody on a witch hunt to try to beat on me about something, but i want again to announce to the world in every way, i nor my family want anything from this other than goodness for you and your state. now, let me tell you, you've trusted me with your vote. i absolutely need you now to trust me be your voice. now, you don't see any teleprompters in here. you know, a lot of news media said, you know, he's folksy. i didn't know that i know how to spell that. but there's sure no teleprompters, but you see, my definition of that would be plain talk. that's what i think west virginiaens want to hear. now, the truth is it's time for gigantic decisions. the past four years no matter how hard we've tried we have lived off rainy day and we've lived off the low-hanging fruit that we could cut away. we have. we cut nearly 060 million of waste and cut the rainy day in half. now, this year right now, you're going to have to cut the rainy day fund

not much in the area, but the snow back to the west. and look at the storm, starting to develop now. you can see all of the moisture and the thunderstorms starting to develop. that is what we will see first. i would not be surprised if we didn't see a thunderstorm here as we make our way into the overnight hours. 2:00 a.m., moving into the d.c. and metro area, and to the west, it is in here by midnight, and then the colder air is moving in, and notice rain/snow line just on the west of washington. and maryland, you may not see any snow out of the first batch at all. to the north and west, snow, and heavily coming down at times, and that may overcome the very warm layer and ground. so you may see some accumulation even on the secondary roadways, but i am not worried about it being too slick. 8:00 over of the rain to the snow. and then we get really cold and we will see snowshowers tomorrow, and they could give us more snow, d.c. metro area and points south than accumulating snow, because it is going to be cold. how much snow in your area

and have shaped the west. a choice along time ago when i went to the east and started my career in baltimore. i could've gone around the country and maybe written stories, but i decided to come thathere to this place shaped me and try to understand what it was and who the people were. with my old family story. that linked up to the other stories. the stories of african-americans who came west, the japanese, the mexicans crossing the border, they're not very much unlike my grandfather's tail. he came here in the 1920's. poet that was his pen name. the iam and the end of an armenian name means son of. to a more literary pen name. he was going to be a poet. the armenian genocide broke out and he had to hide out in an toic in istanbul from 1915 1916, 1917. he went up there with his books, all these french poets and short story writers. he became a lover of french symbolism. when he came down, he had a choice -- was he going to remain in turkey after the genocide? he had a chance to go to the sorbonne in paris to s

a similar story for west wales. some sunshine — a degrees in aberystwyth. through east wales though, there will be a lot of cloud and it will feel decisively chilly under those leaden skies. through northern ireland though i think we will get some sunshine and up into north—west scotland, here, a decent chance of blue skies and sunshine — won't do much for the temperatures though. across the northern isles a lot of showers here could see some accumulations of snow, certainly. and then down the eastern side of scotland, eastern and central parts of england, here again, there'll be some wintry showers — a mixture of rain and sleet mostly but one or two places could see some snow, maybe enough for a very small covering here and there. but temperatures just 2 or 3 degrees. through friday night, we keep the easterly wind, we keep the wintry showers for the many of us there will be quite a lot of clouds. up to the north—west, particularly north—west scotland, under clear spells, temperatures could drop as low

nothing too untoward, a few showers coming into the north and west, by the end of the north and west, by the end of the night england and wales dry, with rain and still cloud, some breaks, temperatures not to farah, perhaps as far north of scotland some breaks. tomorrow morning, the wind and rain moves into scotland would snow over higher ground. we will see that rain early on over northern ireland. plenty more on the way. eastern england doing quite well through the morning, the cloud fairly well broken with sunshine coming through and relatively mild at 9am, nine or 10 degrees for many places. further west there is cloud to be had and wind picking up. when setting into the western side of wales, and the process continues throughout the morning, the wind picking up as storm un moves into northern ireland, and wind around the irish sea getting up to 60 miles an hour, maybe 70 in that strong winds and heavy rain. the rain turned to snow. a lot of rain across western england and wales, little getting to the east, but relatively mild. this is on sunday, england against italy, ten or 11 d

the state of west virginia is a heavy lifting state. we mine the cold that makes the steel that built the guns and factories that defended us and gave us the great country we have. we have done everything and no one in west virginia wants dirty air, no one in oklahoma or any extraction state. the way this comes down to is strict strictly. please contact work the with local authorities, the states that are involved, they did nothing. they would not reach out to us whatsoever. this was one of many president obama's administration regulations that crippled families and businesses with no plan to replace or create new jobs or help these communities. the rulemaking was executed in a very flawed way. rules by the department of interior and office of surface mining must be based on comprehensive data that is available to stakeholders particularly when the rules work to eliminate the jobs. all we ask is come talk to the department of environmental protection in west virginia and tell us what is not working and what you want us to do different.

west for indy mac loans. total payments and from the federal departments it including payments for loans and financial freedom came to $1.22 billion. l it did not take long before he rolled out the newly branded one west for the bank to be investigated by states attorney and already they had big concerns about one west foreclosures practices. and this, in my view is where fr you see the guts of the foreclosure machine beginning to show itself. as parts of this investigation, one west president that worked e under mr. mnuchin admitted under oath to the practice known as robo signing. this this witness said she said more than 750 foreclosure documents per week without reading them and with no norder he present during the a process.sked that is a violation of the law. when asked how much time she spent executing each foreclosure document, ms. johnson replied and i quote here, i changed my signature considerably, it's just an e now so for no more than 30 seconds. it wasn't justr her it was part of the entire team

continues to get pounded with heavy rain and mountain snows as the west cooling coast and mountains wint they are season. forecast, clouds increase, falling back to 0s and 40s. mainly 0s. 41 overnight low in district and rest of you could start in mid 30s to close to freezing far north and west, hagerstown, frederick and martinsburg and tomorrow high pressure northeast, easterly flow across the ocean bringing in cloud cover and it will stop temperatures from rising above the mid 50s talking about 56 in washington and only 48 annapolis and cool afternoon low to mid 50s and with that we'll feel a little closer to february like weather but well above normal normal is 48.

there is some cloud and rain down into the south—west. a weather front approaching into cornwall over the next few hours. staying quite windy with some hill fog through the higher ground of wales, north—west england. a chilly start for many of us, with the exception perhaps into the south—west. so first thing on tuesday will look somewhat like this. cloud and outbreaks of rain through cornwall, eventually nudging into parts of devon. a little more cloud through somerset and south wales, and that hill fog as well. but elsewhere it will be a cold start with some decent spells of sunshine. further north and west again dry, largely sunny, maybe the chance of a little bit bit of light, patchy frost in sheltered areas of scotland, but not a bad start to the day. and, as we go on through the day, i think you will continue to see some sunshine, and temperatures will be a degree also up on where they were on monday. the exception really is into the south—west, where the cloud will begin to gather, pushing up through the midlands and into wal

it will be windy in the north—west. we have jails in north—west. we have jails in north—west scotland, they will ease through the day. dry weather, cold and frosty to start, but these coast of scotla nd and frosty to start, but these coast of scotland and england we have more cloud —— we have gales. at least end into eastern areas, so, right on the coastline and for the next couple of days we have an extra of rain and sleet. you don't have to travel to fight in lan and we have sleet and snow. because they are showers not all of us will see them —— you don't have to travel far inland. in south—west wales it is a cold and frosty start, then we run into cloud for the rest of wales. northern ireland has cloud around with showers, and they will tend to ease. so, through the day, western areas hang onto the sunshine. for central and eastern parts, we have more cloud and wintry showers. don't be disappointed. not all of us will see snow. a lot of us want to see it. we could see one or two centimetres, less tha n could see one or two centimetre

in north—west scotland once again. it is still mild. that is a major theme of the weekend, another one will be a good deal of cloud and limited sunshine. not a huge amount of rain, but the bulk of that falling a time. and all the time to the northern half of the uk. this is bbc news. the headlines at 11:00: in an extraordinary and lengthy press conference president trump attacks the media, says a new immigration executive order will be signed next week, and denies personal links will be signed next week, and denies personal links with russia. i have not even made a phone call to russia, i just don't have anybody to speak to. the facebook founder mark zuckerberg tells the bbc he fears millions of people are withdrawing from the globally connected world as fake news and extremist views online have damaged public debate. southern rail passengers face more commuter misery as members of the train drivers' union, aslef reject a deal to settle their long—running dispute. fears for the future of thousands ofjobs at vauxallâ€

sunnier spells across north—west englnad and wales. i know on the face of it the temperatures will be higher — seven or eight degrees — but even in the double digits it will feel pretty disappointing out there so you will need to wrap up warmly. gale, severe gales likely through the later stages of the date stop in the far south of coppel we could see some rain. it stays windy. the wind pivoting to a southerly and it will drag in slightly milder air. on tuesday, predominantly dry with some outbreaks of rain across the south—west and northern ireland. the cloud starting to break up. tuesday into wednesday, the risk of these lows from the atlantic trying to make their presence felt. the further east you live, better weather. 12 degrees likely in the south—east. milder by thursday but more cloud around on thursday. if you have not already got the message, things turning milder as we get to the middle half of the week and after last week, that is good news. i'm sharanjit leyl in singapore. the headlines: after north korea hails a m
