adrian: a totally matted. we saw the first wave of cubans breaking into the major-league area -- major-league. they were primarily lighter skinned. in the 1980's, humans were sending their kids to the u.s. for education. it is their children, their grandchildren who broke into the major leagues. at the same time, you have darker skin people playing. you had some lighter skinned cubans playing in the league. is light enough, let's try to get him in. that is how they broke into major leagues before jackie robinson. susan: what are the biggest names in hispanic history in baseball that people should know? adrian: he was the first lack .atino came into major leagues everyone thought he was a black man. there were other latinos, and cuban known as a mulatto who made it into major league baseball and face a lot of hostility. n wordcalled the constantly. --y fit that ambiguity because he said that ambiguity -- he fit that ambiguity. he was cuban, not black. important.ry that is he played in the 1880's with the provid

our correspondent in sierra leone is adrian kriesch. he sent us this report from a polling station in the north of the country. adrian: they are in the northern part of the country. you can see it is a little tense. people are not happy they had to wait for a long time. how long have you been waiting? >> this morning, i am here for quite a long time. adrian: a lot of people seem to not be happy about the process, right? >> yes, because of long processes, the actual time. they said 7:00. that is the problem. adrian: let's talk to the person in charge of this polling station. how are you? how is it going here? i see a lot of people are waiting in getting angry. why does it take so long? >> [indiscernible] adrian: you did not expect so many to show up? >> we know that they registered. adrian: why does it still take so long? >> [indiscernible] it takes longer than expected. adrian: people are voting for the mayor, the local town so, the parliaments, but most importantly, for the president. this is where the voters are coming for the preside

adrian: maybe we should be. this is a monitor that allows us to compare the current level of market volatility as we interpret them as intech -- at intech with historical periods in the past. this is the five metrics we focus on, comparing current levels in this case in the s&p 500 -- scarlet: the current level is the green circle and the historical value is the white circle. adrian: you can set that historical value to any time period. on the right, you can see the whole time perspective. we set it to 2007, which was the precursor to some pretty big volatility. the idea is to find the places that look lopsided in the markets. i'm wondering how indicative it is that the current measurements are broken. i think about what jeffrey good luck is talking about -- with the 10 year yield going beyond 3%, typically, it stocks were to selloff, it would be a safe haven. adrian: this is not necessarily predicting doom and gloom. these metrics that we've shown on the right tend to be reverting overtime. our thesis is when t

adrian, he said he wouldn't even vote for nancy pelosi and he's a democrat. >> yeah. first of all, this race shouldn't be competitive. trump carried this district by 20 points in just a year and four months ago when he was running for the presidency. but look, this is about -- this is turning to what is consider to be a bellweather state. i worked for the cycle when the democrats took over the house. and many were running against nancy pelosi. you have to show your independence. >> so they didn't like her either then? >> no. and i think we would -- we have seen this on the republican side as well. >> you know what is interesting about what adrian is saying, that's how long apparently some within the democratic party that thought that they needed change. barack obama said they needed new car smell. he was talking about hillary clinton. what does that say? >> the wanting change in the democratic party started when barack obama came out of nowhere to beat hillary clinton in 2008. it's been a long time coming for nancy pelosi. she's been able to hold on to power because s

us live now from beijing and adrian china is one of the biggest producers of steel in the world how might this announcement how might these terrorists affect the chinese economy well as you rightly point out china in fact produces more than half the world's steel so it's very significant but the response we're getting here in beijing on friday has actually been quite muted the commerce ministry has said that they regret president trump's announcement they're concerned by his announcement but i think it's fair to assume martine that the chinese had been anticipating this because president trump after all had been warning repeatedly that he was going to impose tariffs on steel and other million so i think this is something that china anticipated expected but the timing is interesting because right now a senior chinese economic advisor is in washington for talks with the trump administration and these talks we're told have been very frank very direct the language has been very blunt indeed and the question i guess is we have trade friction between the world's second largest economy chi

it is good to have you with us adrian filling in here and other top stories in al-jazeera. israeli forces have killed at least eight palestinian protesters during demonstrations in gaza the gaza ministry of health says that over a thousand people have been injured during confrontations thousands of palestinians taking part in an annual the protest against israel's illegal occupation al-jazeera had a chance to speak to israel's security forces and here's what they told us look live . we never shoot a single bullet on anyone who stays away from the security wall we have said and warned during the past few days that everyone who tries to violate the israeli sovereignty all to infiltrate into israeli territory is we put himself and his life in danger all the participants of the rallies in gaza strip are safe but how must put the lives of women and children in danger when it sent them to the security wall with the troublemakers to infiltrate into israel and storm our borders turkey's president is rejecting france's offer to mediate between ankara and kurdish armed groups in syri

. >> adrian, what do you make of that? donald trump doesn't want to get involved when he's on the campaign trail but he is surrounding himself with a number of hawks. >> i guess you would call it a shift in foreign policy. at least the way he ran on the campaign trail, but you're exactly right, he ran as somebody who was trying to get us out of these war, some of these conflicts. and now he's hired somebody who is the extreme version of being hawkish. it's hard to really figure out what his strategy is here. it seems he is surrounding himself with people who have a more interventionist view on foreign policy. >> bill, i'll get to you in a moment, but we alluded to this at the top of the hour. we've got breaking news on the on omnibus bill that was passed. trump tweeted just a few minutes ago he may veto the bill that would avert a shutdown. let's bring in peter a lexen der at the white house with more. peter, what's going on? >> this is a stunning development, perhaps not surprising, given the president, his past behavior.

thank you very much indeed and following on from what adrian was saying the trumpet ministration has issued a statement following the meetings and it claims some of the credit for that meeting actually taking place it said the u.s. sees this development as further evidence that our campaign of maximum pressure is creating the appropriate atmosphere for a dialogue with north korea but we've been speaking to christopher hill who is a former u.s. diplomat who in two thousand and five negotiated directly with north korea and china on pyongyang's nuclear program in the six party talks and he says president trump will sell this is a big foreign policy victory. clearly the top of this regime wants to say that this is a possible either you bring it up. talking from the white house including the group of sanctions that the u.s. is considering so you know i'm not sure really matters too much you know how people are going to take credit but the best question is will all donald trump sit down your job hunt it will be on central park was a ship yours or hasn't been in some eight years to other ne

adrian: it was 110 girls who were abducted in month ago. only 101 girls were reunited with their families. the ones we managed to talk to told us they were treated relatively good by the terrorists. they were given food and drinks, but the government until now could not clarify what happens to the remaining nine girls. we heard from some of the abducted girls who said five of them were killed while they were abducted. there was a sort of car accident in the abduction process. that also we learn from another eyewitness he said at least one of the girls is still with the terrorists because she is a christian and she refused to denounce her religion. brent: this is a surprising turn of events, adrian, watching boko haram bring back and drop off the girls in person. the same militants who had kidnapped the curled -- girls. has this ever happened before? adrian: no, not in that form. this is something completely new. bazaar. -- it's bizarre. authorities are trying to trace down where boko haram took the girls and a beefed up efforts, increased a

sanctions backed by china let's speak to our china correspondent adrian brown joining us on the phone from beijing so after all the speculation adrian we now do have come for confirmation that it was it was the north korean leader in beijing. that's right there you mean few visits to china have been shrouded in as much secrecy as this one even late tuesday off the new year in beijing china's foreign ministry was continuing to insist the big didn't know who the mystery does it involves which is probably disingenuous to say the least and that since spawns of the blanket security when the aging where the dying tide state get out says this is where it's stored that came and his delegation stayed during that visit which lasted less than two days but of course the key possible visit is the fact that kim has met president xi jinping which leaves president xi jinping become the first world leader to shake and we can jump on this not donald trump but kim president xi jinping so this i think is a reminder. china did not want president from to get all the limelight but he has expected meeting wi

brown first in the chinese capital in adrian i mean what does this say about chinese influence the fact that these two leaders have that and china certainly putting a stamp of. the matter ahead of the north koreans future meetings with both south korea and the u.s. . absolutely right so this is a real diplomatic triumph for president xi jinping he has pulled off a coup on the world stage just weeks after he was cemented his position as china's most powerful leader in more than four decades because it is he and not president donald trump who has become the first world leader to meet kim jong un and remember this was not just kim jong un's first visit to china it was his first visit outside of the country since becoming that country's leader more than six years ago the two leaders talked and that talking is going to continue china is hopeful now that the momentum from this visit will continue. so he was here after all chinese state controlled media waited until kim jong un was back home before confirming what officials had tried so hard to deny just a day earlier in the great hall of the

capital and it's reported a specially armored train also arrived in the city are china correspondent adrian brown has more from beijing. well speculation over who this v.i.p. guest might be began circulating here in beijing on monday night japanese media reported that an armored train was seen crossing the friendship bridge which separates north korea and china in the northeastern chinese city of dun dong on sunday afternoon that train then turned up at beijing railway station the oldest railway station in beijing then a large motorcade was seen passing along chang an avenue in the center of beijing the main thoroughfare in the city heading in the direction of the di you tie guest house which is traditionally where heads of state and paid stay when they come to beijing now the south korean media is speculating that this visitor might well be kim jong un the sister who's enjoying a very high profile at the moment now if it is kim jong un then of course the question remains what has motivated him to come here is china threatening to enforce more sanctions against north korea or is china offer

well she certainly could hear about it adrian but it sort of still poses a question of sort of china's role in the current diplomacy that we're seeing across the korean peninsula. yeah look that's right china doesn't want to be left out of the limelight because of course president trump and kim jong un are due to meet some time before may and she jingping of course doesn't want to be a world leader who somehow excluded from that big event he doesn't want to be on the sidelines so has china in a sense tried to steal the thunder from president from by perhaps inviting kim jong un here if indeed that was kim jong un who came to beijing on that train on monday evening look and these are questions that of course we aren't really going to know the answer to for many many hours i suspect the what will happen is that some time tonight beijing time the foreign ministry will confirm who this mystery guest was and pictures will be released showing president xi shaking hands with whoever he or she was well which is the what does happen or what it does will come back to thank you so much. the russi

brown in beijing who will tell us why it took so long to confirm this meeting adrian. i think it's fair to assume this was down to security reasons really when kim jong un's father and grandfather came to china their visits were only ever confirmed after they had left the country so i think it was mainly for security reasons in this era of political and diplomatic surprises we now have another xi jinping has demonstrated that like president trump he too is capable of surprises we have to remember that kim jong un and president xi jinping have not really been on speaking terms ever since kin jong un came to power relations have gone from good to basically extremely testy and of course china has been the country that's been in forcing sanctions against north korea that it's almost certainly taken a toll on the north korean economy and it of course may be one of the reasons why kim jong un has come to china now now with these pictures of president xi jinping and kim jong un together shaking hands smiling we're being led to believe that these two allies are once more close

i think adrian will focus on communication. he is a big personality, a very colorful communicator, and i think he will look to get on the front foot and clearly communicate the banks objectives. >> i have to echo what you just said in spades. i had the good fortune a couple of years ago of moderating a keynote panel on the wyoming state treasurer. adrian or was there and his sense of humor, it is intelligence, he is quick and you just want to sit and listen to him. in 1989, he was one of the architects of inflation targeting. now, when everyone is rethinking, it seems to me so interesting, and it's maybe -- and it may be appropriate to look at what he is doing on looking at banks around the world and how we is changing it. >> that is right. it is difficult to find a more qualified candidate for this role. it was previously the chief , themist at the bank financial stability win of the bank. he stepped outside leading the wealth fund. he has all of the technical expertise that he would look for from the central bank governor, bu

brown joins us live from beijing adrian there looking or they're thinking about neutral territory for these discussions some people are saying they might happen in china presumably beijing would green light that and be ok with that as a venue. beijing would love it if those talks were to be held here in the chinese capital because what china really wants to avoid at all costs peter is being marginalized china wants the credit for what is now taking place it doesn't want you know donald trump to get all the glory because china's argument is a sense leave this you know we have done the hard job of enforcing u.n. sanctions against an old ally we haven't necessarily believe that sanctions were the best course of action we've always believed that dialogue was the only way to bring a lasting resolution to this crisis well now that we are going to have talks between kim jong un and president trump china is saying you know if it's really going to happen it could happen here in beijing but i think the chances of that really are actually pretty remote i think it's more likely that it will happe
