I thought we started laying the groundwork for that, 12 00:00:34,159 --> 00:00:36,800 Speaker 2: most certainly in Geneva. I think we continued that work 13 00:00:36,840 --> 00:00:39,560 Speaker 2: in our communications throughout the week. I think we've built 14 00:00:39,600 --> 00:00:41,560 Speaker 2: on that again today. But there's more work to be done. 15 00:00:41,680 --> 00:00:43,920 Speaker 2: This is delicate, it's complicated. There are a lot of 16 00:00:43,960 --> 00:00:46,320 Speaker 2: moving parts, and obviously there's another party involved here that 17 00:00:46,520 --> 00:00:49,239 Speaker 2: they''ll have to be a part of the equation, and 18 00:00:49,280 --> 00:00:52,959 Speaker 2: that'll continue later this week when mister Woodcoff travels to 19 00:00:52,960 --> 00:00:53,680 Speaker 2: to Moscow. 20 00:00:54,400 --> 00:00:57,440 Speaker 1: That Secretary of State Marko Rubio.

So far, we've had some participation, but 47 00:02:17,160 --> 00:02:20,880 Speaker 3: anyone who has information on this needs to know that 48 00:02:20,919 --> 00:02:22,919 Speaker 3: we will be coming after you and we will bring 49 00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:23,920 Speaker 3: you to justice. 50 00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:27,600 Speaker 1: That was DHS Secretary Christy Nome speaking on NBC's Meet 51 00:02:27,600 --> 00:02:31,160 Speaker 1: the Press.

He will be facing charges including first 54 00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:40,360 Speaker 1: degree murder, but authorities are treating the shooting as a terrorcase. 55 00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:43,960 Speaker 1: National Guard member Sarah Beckstrom died last week, while National 56 00:02:43,960 --> 00:02:47,440 Speaker 1: Guard member Andrew Wolf is still hospitalized.

Whu Hada noted that any hike would 64 00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:11,680 Speaker 1: merely be an adjustment in the degree of easing, and 65 00:03:11,720 --> 00:03:14,040 Speaker 1: authorities will make the right call on whether to proceed 66 00:03:14,040 --> 00:03:16,440 Speaker 1: with a move, who had also added to the Central 67 00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:18,760 Speaker 1: Bank will consider the pros and cons of raising the 68 00:03:18,760 --> 00:03:22,680 Speaker 1: policy interest rate and make decisions as appropriate.
