president and for reelection. that is where bernie sanders, the senator from vermont, has to make up for lost time through that is why we heard from both candidates on the debate stage tonight, both of them talking about criminal justice reform. they both believe it is stacked against african-americans and latino men more than anything. that is why they say that as presidents, they would do something very different to change the criminal justice system in the united states as quickly as possible. molly: that was philip crowther reporting from washington. the world health organization

dominating the agent markets -- the asian markets. the stock market plunged nearly 5% before recovering some. the nikkei has been hit by a rising yen against the u.s. dollar, despite last month possible move by the bank of japan to adopt a negative interest rate. that is on fears that there could be a similar move by other countries. the yen is traditionally a low-yielding currency, providing refuge for exporters and a boost japanese exporters. while japan has made efforts to keep the yen lo, that makes the promising. tokyo is saying there is no need to panic. risk, it is not possible to set change in global markets. recent companyn, earnings have been among its best ever, and the japanese economy is stable. william: here in europe, it seems like we may be seeing a rebound, with the banking sector opening up at 3%. digitsares are up double , up 15%, better than expected. -- basicearch is resources in mining are also seeing a rally. the dax is up in the green. the frankfurt dax and the london leading the way, not far behind at 1.2%. a lot of concern that we may be in a perfect storm and we may see a financial crisis like in 2008. a lot of attention in europe was paid to southern countries like greece and portugal. also concern in italy. its stakes have been weighed down by bad loans or nonperforming loans, but there is a sentiment that reason volatility has been caused by overcautious markets. our correspondent explains. >> things have gone from bad to worse this week for europe's beleaguered banks. in italy, investors are alarmed by the so-called bad loans in the banking sector. a term used when they could pay back the money they owed. the european economic powerhouse has not been spared either. deutsche bank reported a record loss last month, amid concerns it may not be up to pay back interest on its debt, debt is considering wind back to prove that it is financially stable. but those fears still have not gone away. the losses are unreasonable. in france, we know that the banking system is doing fairly well. it is healthy. right now we are clearly seeing another reaction by investors, a sort of hysteria to a threat. >> the points of view shared in brussels thursday by e.u. finance ministers, cleared to play down concerns. a muchcturally we are in better place than we were some years ago, and that also goes for our banks. >> the central banks have also played a role, by slashing interest rates. while the rates might get money flowing back into the economy, they also mean banks made less money from loans, one of the biggest sources of income. analysts say the european central bank might be forced to cut rates in march, not something banks are keen to hear. a bit of confidence from e.u. officials, but let's look at the first data out this friday. the euro zone economy grew in line with forecasting, spending 1.5% in the fourth quarter of last year. in reason, a steep decline industrial output in december, falling 1.3% year on year. economists expected a rise of nearly 1%. some thinking more monetary easing may be required in the eurozone, along with fiscal stimulus and structural reforms. time now for a look at some other headlines. a sign of confidence from jpmorgan's ceo, jamie dimon, by a half a million shares in the bank for $26.5 million. when many a time financial institutions have come under intense pressure. stocks closed down 4.5%. 19.6% this year. renault saw its annual profit climbed 50%, reporting strong sales of new models. the french carmaker took a 620 russia.euro hit from are looking into boeing's books. the security and exchange commission is investigating into whether the firm accounted for s.ture costs in dreamliner shares of the company were down 25%, partly due to strong competition. mot is the business news, lly. molly: it is time now for our press review. i am joined in the studio by florence villeminot. you are going to start off with the news that we saw yesterday, yet another government reshuffle. how are people reacting? it must be said that the press is not very impressed. at " the front page of -- a look at the front -- of "le yourself, att home. with the government reshuffle, he essentially spruced up his cabinet, patched things up, making small changes to it why is that? because there is a presidential election around the corner in 2017. the right-wing paper in france also compares francois hollande to someone doing a little home improvement work on sunday. saying he is papering over the cracks one last time before the presidency. editorial, it is very disappointed in francois hollande's reshuffle. saying, "welcome to the itanic." instead, the government will continue to sink until the bitter end of francois hollande's five-year term. molly: we have seen a return of kicked outo has been of the previous government. former prime minister jean-marc ayrault will step in as the minister of foreign affairs. monde" here see "le talking about it. it is the first time a prime minister has come back to a during theinistry same presidency. what is interesting is, it is kind of a lower rank than prime minister. why is he coming back? according to "le monde," hollande wanted some friends in the government he could count on. even though they have had disagreements in the past, jean-marc ayrault has always been very loyal to francois hollande. molly: that cannot be said for three members of the green party that have also joined the government. flo: they have had a love-hate relationship for years now. at the beginning of his presidency, they formed a coalition with the socialist party. two years ago, they stormed out when manuel valls became prime minister, and the green ministers at the time left the government. among them, you can see this woman. she is a major catch for the socialist government because up until yesterday she was the national secretary of the green party. up until yesterday, she was also very critical of francois hollande posit government, including on twitter. a lot of her tweets have resurfaced in the wake of her nomination, to the minister of housing. she is minister of housing, while the green party essentially is left behind, coughing up the dust. molly: let's move onto another story getting a lot of attention. this is a historic meeting involving the leaders of two of christianity's biggest churches. flo: that is pope francis and kirill.ch the main cuban paper is saying they are going to cross paths in havana. that is an understatement. it is the first meeting between the catholic pope and patriarch of the russian orthodox church .ince 1054 that is when the christian church split into the west and east over issues of papal authority and the source of the holy spirit. the meeting will take place later this evening. it is huge news, but what is interesting, if you go to the main paper for the vatican, the official paper for the vatican, you have to turn all the way to page 8 to read about this meeting. why is this meeting happening now? a lot of papers are reporting that it is because of growing violence in the middle east against christians, particularly by the islamic state group leader it -- by the islamic state group. molly: this is very exciting stuff, waves, astrophysics. british paper "the independent" says the theory of relativity has been proved. it was revealed that a team of scientists had recorded the sound of two black holes come gliding up -- two black holes colliding one million light years away. i am trying to get my own grip on it, but it was first predicted by einstein and his theory of general relativity just over 100 years ago per you can see the front page of "the guardian," which says einstein was right all along. these gravitational waves are ripples in space-time. it is kind of like you throw a rock into a pond and it makes those ripples. that is how i understand it, but you can look at this article in "the new york times" if you want a deeper understanding of black holes and astrophysics in general. the consequences for our understanding of the universe are out of this world, according to many. it is like opening a new window on space. we will discover all sorts of new, exciting things. let's end with a cartoon from "the new york times." you can see a couple looking at the tv, where a journalist is saying scientisgñ úqúc
