Russia is mourning the death of major romana filipov whose plane was shot down by islamic militants in Northern Syria on saturday the pilot of lloyd it captured by taking his own life detonating a hands. And eight when he was surrounded by enemy forces on the ground he has post honestly been awarded the hero of russia mettle the countrys highest. The. People for a man felipe of was fighting terrorism and died is a harrison i came here today to honor him he gave his life so that we can live in peace.

But us finds president has confirmed tale attends the Winter Olympics in south korea but apparently not to enjoy the games. Now were traveling to the olympics to. Make sure that north korea doesnt use the powerful symbolism in the backdrop. Of the Winter Olympics will be telling the truth about north korea at every stop. Will be sure that whatever. Whatever court cooperation that existed between north and south korea today on all the big teams does not cloud the reality. Pence also plans to take the father of a student who died after being jailed in north korea also one be a was arrested for attempting to steal a propaganda poster from a hotel in pyongyang he reportedly wanted to remind the world of north korean atrocities pence will also visit a memorial for south korean sailors killed in two thousand and ten after the sinking of a warship which seoul says was a north korean torpedo attack last month or to korea has held their first direct talks since two thousand and fifteen soon afterwards it was announced that north korea would attend the Olympic Games but countries agreed to march together under one flag at the Opening Ceremony for the first time in twelve years the north and south will also send a joint womens Ice Hockey Team its now been confirmed the leader of north koreas parliament will attend the Opening Ceremony dr simone chen from the Korea Peace Network believes the games are a valuable opportunity to come tensions trump actually supported the creation of participation and unity and but it seems to me that there is so to the reason we didnt do a demonstration.

We can exchange dearly in a song may soon be able to take his first walk outside in five years as a british judge is about to decide whether to drop a u. K. Arrest warrant for skipping bail in two thousand and twelve as basically the only legal cause thats currently keeping us stanch holed up in the Ecuadorian Embassy in london for more on that thats called flight to london now and shes probably polly does this potentially mean songs will leave the embassy today. So thats the big question could you insist on to be packing his bags well inside the embassy right now because legally this arrest warrant was the last impediment to him technically being a free man it was issued back by the much metropolitan police when he skipped bail back in two thousand and twelve that was when he was still wanted for questioning in sweden over allegations of Sexual Assault since then that swedish case has been dropped so a songes legal team are arguing quite simply that renders this u. K. Arrest warrant useless or in lawyer talk they say its lost its purpose and its function for Julian Assange the big issue all along and has been this sort of looming potential threat of extradition to the u. S. Thats been his big concern and thats why he never went to sweden for questioning he said the prosecutors there couldnt guarantee that he wouldnt be extradited to the u. S. No matter how much he asked for those guarantees and thats why his legal team of instead worried about the consequences of him walking out. Of the embassy here but why is he said worried about the u. S. He hears of course washington has made no. Washington has a bone or two to pick with. The wiki leaks editor for his work over the years with that website the politician stateside have made no secret of their dislike for Julian Assange lets take a listen to what theyve had to say is that they is. The United States do something to stop mr sausage. Right now describes a traitor a treasonous and he has broken every law the United States the guy ought to be and im not for the Death Penalty so im not for the Death Penalty want to do it illegally shoot the son of a wiki leaks walks like a Hostile Intelligence Service and talks like a Hostile Intelligence Service ignorance or misplaced idealism is no longer an acceptable excuse for lionizing these demons. Even if theyre hearing his way today and that is a big his legal team said all along that they will need concrete guarantees from the british authorities that hell either get safe passage or he wont be arrested and extradited straight on to the u. S. Diplomats have been doing a lot of work behind the scenes in recent weeks and months ecuador has been trying to get this case moving along from this legal stalemate that its been in the six years last month it was revealed that Julian Assange had been granted ecuadorian citizenship and diplomatic diplomatic status as well so the kind of lining up all the ducks in a row hoping that that will get things moving and of course back in two thousand and sixteen the u. N. Ruled that Julian Assange is being of a terribly detained inside the embassy that will be something that lawyers will be emphasizing inside that hearing today so right now everybody keeping an eye on the front door and waiting to see how that hearing goes and what that means for the wiki satisfy. His polyploid the Ecuadorian Embassy and london we can now bring you the latest weve just learned that the judge has ruled against the first technical point that the songs team is arguing today the judge says the court is not to persuade. He did that the warrant should be withdrawn but court is not expected to hit on decide on the point so lets just take a look back a songes embassy tsonga began back in two thousand and ten when sweden launched rape allegations against him two years later a song to end to the Ecuadorian Embassy in london austin for asylum shortly after the u. K. Issued an arrest warrant for the wiki leaks both for breaching bail conditions but ecuador granted him asylum and made last year sweden drop the rape investigation against a summons but he didnt leave the embassy fairing a rest by u. K. Police. Without with most stories for you after this short break. What holds if you should. Put themselves on the line. To get accepted or rejected. So if you want to be president and you. Want. To be right. This is what. The people. Theres the reason why. They should. The u. S. Is losing into a number one the climate denier is precluding them from the dissipating in this new economy number one. The effects of the Climate Change the weather catastrophes the global you know migrants that are the result of it all these other problems are hurting the u. S. Economy on the other side of the trade so youve got a double bind. Welcome back now theyve been a part of the glamour of formula one for decades if checkered flag has finally been waved on the iconic great goals. James his approval with. The question of where you came. From you know ones commercial director announced the decision saying the grid goes no longer fit in with modern social norms saying theyre now irrelevant and inappropriate for most who racing fans across the world which is Supermodel Naomi Campbell is among those who stepped up in defense of the grid girls saying the jobs not remotely offensive and its a good way for women to proudly represent their countries the great goals themselves that faith theyre offended by the decision after years of service to the sport they say their role is to promote the f one brand and that it shouldnt be restricted by issues of Political Correctness or my outfit before i agreed to do it i knew i was wearing i knew what was expected of me if you look at any kind of advertisement or branding these days you know you have beautiful glamorous host s. Is working for the best lines in the world you have victorias secret models who represent the brand so while that that. They model for and so i dont think you can say that having great go and glamorous promotional models is in keeping with the times semitism shouldnt be a dirty word but obviously it could boil down to that sadly i just feel its a bit of a backward step because if we want to say to women you know we want to feel empowered and we can do and be whatever we want to be i dont see a problem with promotional work tools we all do it by choice and were not forced into the word and or go to apply for the job and all the guys i know absolutely love the job so i dont see that theres any saw a problem with it to a lot of people do you come to the shows to oversee to meet some of the girls as well to get the pictures with the guys that they parolees and some of my friends who work in the professional work theyve met their future husband i dont know why they havent said anything for it if its because too many people would objectify and they probably didnt think that this much would happen so im not sure why they didnt consult with us.

The u. S. Is the second biggest consumer of Energy Per Capita in the world coming in second right after china the worlds most populated country the us holds the Worlds Largest coal reserves in the second biggest oil reserves accounting for twenty percent of the worlds total Oil Consumption heres argy correspondent ashley banks to break it all down for us actually thats right bart according to hydro carbons Technology Oil and natural gas accounted for over sixty percent of the United States total Energy Consumption which means the u. S. Accounts for nearly twenty percent of the worlds total Oil Consumption making the us the biggest oil consuming country and the worlds second biggest natural gas and coal consumer lets compare that to china which accounts for twenty two percent of the worlds total Energy Consumption over sixty five percent of the countrys total Energy Consumption was due to how much the country consumes coal that makes china the worlds biggest coal consumer producer and porter china is also the second largest oil consumer and one of the top five natural gas consumers in the world lets take a look at franciscan. Sumption france is one of the Biggest Energy consumers in europe it accounts for about two percent of the worlds total Energy ConsumptionNuclear Energy accounted for thirty nine percent of the countrys total Energy Consumption oil comprised of thirty two percent and natural gas comprised of fifteen percent of the primary Energy Consumed by france lets compare that to south korea or south korea account for about two point one percent of the worlds total Energy Consumption and about forty percent of the countrys total primary Energy Consumption comes from oil the country is also one of the top five all importers and the six Biggest Oil Refining country and the world the country imports over eighty percent of its crude oil from the middle east saying in the same area lets take a look at north korea while south korea and china shine brightly and night heres a picture of north korea the entire country looks like its asleep now this photo was taken by a nasa satellite it shows a lack of electricity produced and north korea up north korea supply of electricity is too small to shine through the night want circle back to the u. S. Heres a satellite image of south that taxes unlike north korea south texas is shining bright but barton what we see here are bright lights from the wells and fracking equipment and eagle ford competing with whites from nearby Austin San Antonio and Corpus Christi while Research Shows fracking has fueled a dramatic boom in americas Oil Production and has also made the u. S. The biggest oil consuming country in the world bart. Actually thank you so much those images are amazing particularly the ones where you have the fracking which is as large and as bright as Corpus Christi thank you for that great report appreciate it. And Energy Markets impact us all in a very fundamental way and here to discuss Energy Markets and more is Energy TraderDavid Greenberger that sound of green founder of Greenberg Capital and former member of the New York Mercantile Exchange board nymex word the global oil is traded david thank you so much for being here with us before we get to oil i want to ask you about your take on stocks i know youve been in a car but the dow down eleven Seventy Eight you have a view on that it was really it was wild it reminded me of the silver crash years ago when i said to my father that you know its selloff happened there in launch and he said it happened in a buy the a sandwich i mean it literally it was down five hundred forty points when i got in the elevator on the ninth floor and was that about fifteen hundred points by the time i hit the first floor while that wild markets but it goes back to as you know ive been you know talking a lot of dollars trying to train you know over the years and the pros and the cons and this is one con of electronic trading is that when the bottom falls out theres nothing to stop it because theres a lack of liquidity on the depth level and thats something that we should talk about at some point yeah and there really seem to be a herd mentality i mean people knew there was a correction come coming and they talked about five maybe ten percent but we didnt anticipate it that were going to get it all and on friday and today and who knows whats in store took tomorrow but im glad the markets are closed back to energy david oil dropped a little bit today but you know overall theyve been higher markets have been higher than than they have for a couple of years what do you make of whats going on you think theyre going to stay there. Well its the Energy Markets real interesting i mean if you look at it as a a long term play ok lets look at crude oil first back in zero eight we were at one hundred forty ok now that were trading around the sixty three sixty three mark so the range over the last ten years in twelve years has been very broad and some people tend to only look at the at the minor range ive been talking for years i think the level of the proper level for crude is anywhere between sixty five and seventy five or trying to finally feel that you know that space right now but a lot of things are happening to get us there we have opec thats behaving ok so theyre kind of sticking together weve got demand that you know somewhat went up which is good but the key thing is that we have speculators that are in the market now at a much higher level on a much broader level and they slowly specially with the electronic training you know market can slowly bring the market up ok the real question is going to be is as we saw in the stock market today and in the bitcoin market all these other markets when speculators are in the market and theres a trading mentality i call it in my class the light switch theory everybodys a buyer guess what until theyre not so lets talk about what might happen when that switch gets turned and it goes from buyers the sellers you could see a nice ten percent correction in this market as well its not totally. On supply and demand there are so many other factors but right now its holding nicely but david youve seen these markets over the years and you say you have a longer term term view and and we do see opec and other nations russia namely that have their Production One point eight one point eight billion Barrels Per Day theyre holding off the market but the u. S. Seems to be making up for that so you do use see the increased u. S. Production keeping sort of a governor on prices. Absolutely i mean the United States has been i mean lets be realistic theyve been knocking the cover off the ball i mean theyre at the highest production rate that theyve ever been you have regulations that are being pulled back like it or not it is what it is and thats going to enable more and more production to be made so i do believe that will be a major factor and keeping somewhat of a cap i dont see except for maybe a world event there an issue in the middle east i mean a major issue a major spike in prices and david can you tell us briefly about some of the other contracts and what they call the Energy Complex nat gas for example hows nat gas doing lately. Oh sure lets look at that gas that gas has come off a lot in the past couple days and were at the two unchanged level but again in two thousand and six we were at fourteen dollars b. T. U. And then in two thousand and fourteen we were at six dollars b. T. U. So inherently its still very low as well as were getting to get into the ground cheaper its becoming you know were doing more efficient products all around and again so i think that thats also a market that is tradeable but i dont see a big spike in that comment in any way shape or form the last question we got about thirty seconds david do you think that electronic traders call them speculators but to each is own right you think theyve been a good thing or do you harken back to those four trading days when things might have been better. Well for me its because were always better on the floor it was a great rush it was a wonderful place to be but i know this is a lot of conversation for
