Single borrower limit, weve increased by 50 basis points. Forerms of advice countries, that has not been increased. The concessional loans for the poorest countries are focused are zero interest with a 40 year maturity. That has not changed. For some countries, especially the very poorest, we still provided grants. The fees have only change for a very small percentage of countries. We are very grateful because they had to approve that. As you can imagine, it was not an easy conversation. We take this as a vote of confidence that despite the increase of cost, these countries are ready and willing to pay best because they like what they get from the world bank group. In terms of intermediaries, it has been one of the strategies that we have used in terms of making access to finance and reality.

I view it as an unfortunate sideshow. I dont want to get into whether congressman cummings committed ethical issues. If facts come out that warned that he is somehow engaged in improper conduct, i will change my mind at that point. But for now, the committee continue its investigations, try to get the truth, and the issue whether or not ms. Lerner should be prosecutors and should be settled in a court of law. Caller three trick things three quick things. I was under the impression that this socalled scandal was debunked. That both parties were investigating and no one lost their status. Also, why isnt darrell issa held in contempt for spending taxpayers moneys holding these hearings when he knows theres nothing there to see . Also, why isnt his party and him held in contempt for shutting this government down for 24 billion .
Here, youve seen the Clinton Campaign the week before, trends going towards trump. Then the debate, now this. Your sense when youre watching the Clinton Campaign, a new boost of energy for her, as we saw on some of that paper there . Reporter theres no doubt about that, richard. You hit the nail on the head. Donald trump had a lot of momentum heading into the debate and then secretary clinton really managed to get under his skin in that first debate, nome for Alicia Machado controversy but questioned how much money he had gotten from his father to start his business and that sort of knocked him off of his game.

The Clinton Campaign having a little fun with the tweet storm, had their own which started at 3 30 last night. One clinton staffer, its 3 20 a. M. , as good a time as any t
