neil: rebecca, when you look at the overall consumer demand part of the equation, we had an expected dropoff in, you know, in spending in the latest month. i don't think that shocked anyone, but is it an aberration? in other words, do you still see, are you in that camp that says this is the year of robust consumer buying? certainly all the major airlines and retail seem to be planning for just that scenario. what about you? >> well, you know, neil, it really depends on if we stay open. i mean, obviously, the news going back into shutdown mode is not -- [inaudible] so and the governor is doing everything they can. the federal reserve is doing everything they can. it really has to be the people telling their governors let's open, let's get back to work. that's what it's going to take. neil: you know, phil, we always mention whether this is a sign of inflation or just the uptick in prices overall we're still at very subdued levels, but talk about you were the first among to say oil prices could rocket maybe, i think goldman sachs said up to $80 a barrel. we're also getting into at leas

amy: i want to go to rebecca peters. she led the movement in australia to change gun laws after a gunman killed 35 people in tasmania in april 28, 1996. this is so significant. you have a gun loving nation but the laws effectively ended mass shootings in australia. i spoke to her a few years ago. >> we had had in those days the series of massacres. get a massacre about once a year. each time there was an outcry, there was a lot of grief and anger and discussion about what should happen in pressure on the politicians but each time the politicians had said, well, this -- everyone agreed should not be a party political issue but neither of the major parties was prepared to move first. i suppose the thing that happened was electoral makeup of the government favored as at the time. we had just had a new government elected. it was a conservative government. in a sense, it is easier for a conservative government to change the gun laws because the conservative party was seen more as the natural ally of the gun lobby. really, peo

kron, 4 meteorologist rebecca strong here tonight. it would look at. >> when we could see temperatures reach potentially the 80's. >> yeah. can you guys believe this is not a drill. it is absolutely a well could happen. that's for sure. we're going to see 70's for sure. inland. and yes, we could be flirting with the 80's as we get into next weekend temperatures we haven't seen for such a long time. for now, though, it's nice and clear around the bay area's a gorgeous weekend. hopefully we're able spend it outside temperature this time last night, pretty much the same in some spots and a few degrees higher in others. so a very similar night tonight is what we saw yesterday. so 50's for the most part around the bay area but dipping into some of those 40's napa you're at 49 right now. 48 along the coast for half moon bay and 48 degrees right now. if you're currently in palo alto futurecast for showing us a as we get into tomorrow we will have some scattered clouds across the bay area, but a whole lot of sunshine to enjoy. and yes, we're

rebecca, it is one thing for, i'm switching for biden for a second. just want to focus what the fed is doing. one thing to be elusive as a fed chair. alan greenspan used to pride himself how elusive he could be but one thing to contradict yourself on bond buybacks and that is what seems to be happening now from the fed. >> yes, david. i don't think this biden press conference brought any clarity to that necessarily. i thought market would have reaction, the fact he stayed up there for an hour, we got the first press conference, it is so jumbled. i don't know what to tell you. the market didn't have one reaction or the other. i am glad he could stand there for an hour to answer questions although i don't like his answers. david: rob. the bottom line i don't think he said anything that hasn't been said before. there was no revelation of anything. he talked about talked about the filibuster a little bit would be open to changes in the filibuster but wasn't specific. the specificity, ask peter doocy to ask questions he may have had more specific questions

without borders she joins me from london rebecca it's good to have you on the program even if the courts were to convict the crown prince what effect do you think it would have been mean what do you hope to achieve with this lawsuit. we hope to achieve accountability i think it would certainly be a significant factor for any of the officials named especially the study crown prince to find a court decision against them in any jurisdiction they have gambled with the fact that they can get away with these horrific crimes and so far they have and that gamble has been pretty safe so far because what we've seen is an international situation of impunity for the vast majority of crimes against journalists in the past decade there have been nearly a 1000 journalists killed around the world nearly all with full or partial impunity and at any given point there's nearly 400 journalists imprisoned around the world so our reporters without borders we're trying to now impose costs for this we're looking at saudi arabia which is have long held one of the world's worst press freedom records the murder of
