Wave of protests across the country following a shooting of yet another black man, rayshard inoks, outside a wendys atlanta. All of it captured on video. First, i want to digest the market moves and bring in abigail doolittle, who has been following it all. Why such a volatile day . Abigail really a wild today. Today and overnight tonight, there was a risk off tone. There was a bit of a haven bid for bonds. Nasdaq up more than 1 . Thefixed on the nasdaq vix on the nasdaq had been above 40. At the close, below 40, so again, less fear at the end of the day. Trade, the stayathome trade. 6 , and credible, but tesla up 6 . If you believe it, that stock up more than 130 on the year. As for why, i would like to say it is something exciting, fundamentals, but that is really not the case. It has to do with the dollar. The chart in, the nasdaq 100 and white. When a dollar goes down, it helps risk assets go higher. What we had earlier today was up half a percent, now the dollar is down its call i
The day. This is sort of translating over into the equity markets as well. The risk off tone continues after a 3 selloff yesterday. We got some of that tension in the last two hours or so, with china saying we violated the agreement given the 10 tariffs. They are vowing to retaliate. We have a read now on the u. S. Consumer. Walmart earnings are coming out. Let me jump over to that. The risk off sentiment continues. David earningspershare was a beat, 1. 27. Their target comps beat estimates, samestore sales. International sales were down a bit 1. 1 ,. A little bit of a leavening there. Also a beat on the revenues. Good numbers here, and it looks like in the premarket, it is up well, that has it down 3 10. My terminal has it up. Taylor i think it is because they are boosting their fullyear growth target.

Im on a voyage through the heart of the balkans, exploring the places that have grown up along the route of the river sava. It is a journey through four countries that just over 25 years ago were at war. My my trip started at the source in slovenia and continued through to the wetlands of croatia. Watch out this week, ill be following the river to bosnia and herzegovina, and then eased into serbia. Im eating those who live along the river banks who want to move on from the conflicts of the 90s and show us what theyre part of the world is really like. The cascading waterfalls and historic cities of ossia and herzegovina. Now gaining more international attention. Ossia. And here in the north of the country, the river sava is on the tourist agenda as well. It is here that the river takes on a new and Important Role as an internationally recognised border.

Through what was the tale of a comet.

As we passed through that every year, that debris and dust hits the atmosphere, super hits it and causes this great big streak of light. Thats what a meteor shower is, these particles burning up in the atmosphere. burning up in the atmospherelj think burning up in the atmosphere. think the names are fascinating. Where does this name come from . Most meteor showers are named after the constellation where their radian is. The radiant is.

Now, accusations the government wont pay out money it promised for urgent repairs. Councillor adam hug says these flats will cost millions to make safe.
