NEW YORK (CNNMoney)
JPMorgan has agreed to pay $5.1 billion to Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to resolve claims stemming from the housing bubble, federal housing regulators announced Friday.

The bank has also been in talks with the Justice Department and other government officials over another potential settlement based on similar claims. That settlement will likely be even more expensive for JPMorgan. 

 The claims relate to conduct at JPMorgan and at Bear Stearns and Washington Mutual, which JPMorgan purchased in 2008. At issue are allegations that the firms sold risky mortgages and mortgage securities while misrepresenting their quality.

Among the purchasers were Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, the government-backed housing finance giants that required a massive bailout in 2008 when their housing investments soured.

The deal was announced by the Federal Housing Finance Agency, which has overseen Fannie and Freddie since their 2008 rescue.

Agency head Edward DeMarco said the accord \

The killing of seven policemen and political paralysis have brought thousands of Tunisians onto the streets in protest.

Many marched on Thursday in Sidi Bouzid, the birthplace of the uprising in the country where the Arab Spring revolts began. But those taking part have not seen the changes they had hoped for. Many blame the government, urging it to step down as it has promised to do.

How American spies monitored calls of THIRTY-FIVE world leaders after government official handed agency rolodexes of numbers

The National Security Agency has monitored the phone conversations of at least 35 world leaders after being given their numbers by an official in another government department, according to a classified document leaked by whistle-blower Edward Snowden.
The confidential memo reveals that senior officials in \'customer\' departments such the White House and the Pentagon were encouraged to share their \'Rolodexes\' of contact details with the NSA.
The agency then added the phone numbers of the foreign politicians to their surveillance systems and started to monitor them.


According to the leaked document handed over to The Guardian, one unnamed official handed over 200 numbers - including those of at least 35 world leaders - none of whom were named. 
The revelation comes amid mounting diplomatic tensions between the US and its allies, after the German chancellor Angela Merkel accused the American government on Wednesday of tapping her mobile phone.

The White House has denied that it is currently listening in on Merkel\'s phone calls.
Spokesman Jay Carney said on Wednesday that \'the United States is not monitoring and will not monitor the communications of the chancellor.\'

But German newspaper Der Spiegel noted that the White House spokesperson \'did not wish to specify\' whether the U.S. denied monitoring Merkel\'s communications in the past.
European leaders united in anger Thursday as they attended a summit overshadowed by reports of widespread U.S. spying on its allies.
German Chancellor Angela Merkel said the allegations had shattered trust in the Obama administration and undermined the crucial trans-Atlantic relationship.
Merkel\'s unusually stern remarks as she arrived at the European Union gathering indicated she wasn\'t placated by a phone conversation she had Wednesday with President Barack Obama, or his personal assurances that the U.S. is not listening in on her calls now.
\'We need trust among allies and partners,\' Merkel told reporters in Brussels. \'Such trust now has to be built anew. This is what we have to think about.\'
\'The United States of America and Europe face common challenges. We are allies,\' the German leader said. \'But such an alliance can only be built on trust. That\'s why I repeat again: spying among friends, that cannot be.\'

  • Updated: 26 Oct 2013
At least 40 people killed in attack outside a mosque in rebel-controlled area near the Syrian capital, activists say. A car bomb explosion has killed at least 40 people and wounded dozens more near a mosque in the Damascus province town of Suq Wadi Barada, a monitor said. "At least three of the dead were children," said Observatory director Rami Abdel Rahman on Friday. The town is under rebel control, but troops loyal to the regime of President Bashar al-Assad were positioned right outside it, said the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights. State news agency SANA also reported the blast, and blamed "terrorists," the term the Assad regime uses for forces fighting to oust it. "The car exploded while the terrorists were packing it with explosives near the Osama Bin Zeid mosque. Terrorists and civilians were killed," said the agency. "Two bodies have arrived at the Moassat hospital, including a seven-year-old child's. There are also 30 wounded people, most of them critically." But anti-regime activists blamed loyalists for the blast. Amateur video shot after the explosion showed clouds of smoke rising above a burning car, while cries of men and women could be heard amid the chaos that followed the blast. The footage also showed people carrying away casualties of the explosion. A second video showed the bodies of the dead, some of them covered with blankets. Among the bodies shown in the footage was that of a child. Car bombings have plagued Syria in recent months, killing scores across the country. Syria's 31-month conflict has killed more than 115,000 people, according to the Observatory.

JPMorgan paying $5.1 billion to Fannie, Freddie over mortgages
JPMorgan paying $5.1 billion to Fannie, Freddie over mortgages
  • Order:
  • Duration: 1:34
  • Updated: 25 Oct 2013
NEW YORK (CNNMoney) JPMorgan has agreed to pay $5.1 billion to Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to resolve claims stemming from the housing bubble, federal housing regulators announced Friday. The bank has also been in talks with the Justice Department and other government officials over another potential settlement based on similar claims. That settlement will likely be even more expensive for JPMorgan. The claims relate to conduct at JPMorgan and at Bear Stearns and Washington Mutual, which JPMorgan purchased in 2008. At issue are allegations that the firms sold risky mortgages and mortgage securities while misrepresenting their quality. Among the purchasers were Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, the government-backed housing finance giants that required a massive bailout in 2008 when their housing investments soured. The deal was announced by the Federal Housing Finance Agency, which has overseen Fannie and Freddie since their 2008 rescue. Agency head Edward DeMarco said the accord "provides greater certainty in the marketplace and is in line with our responsibility for preserving and conserving Fannie Mae's and Freddie Mac's assets on behalf of taxpayers." "This is a significant step as the government and JPMorgan Chase move to address outstanding mortgage-related issues," DeMarco said. The firm reached the agreement without admitting or denying wrongdoing. Related: More banks in crosshairs JPMorgan will pay $4 billion to resolve claims related to the alleged misrepresentation of mortgage-backed securities -- investment products created by bundling payments from individual loans. It will also repurchase $1.1 billion worth of mortgages sold to Fannie and Freddie between 2000 and 2008 that the firms say do not meet their quality standards. JPMorgan (JPM, Fortune 500)said the settlements "are an important step towards a broader resolution of the firm's [mortgage-backed-securities]-related matters with governmental entities, and reflect significant efforts by the Department of Justice and other federal and state governmental agencies." Investors initially shrugged off the news, which has been rumored for weeks. JPMorgan shares were up slightly in after-hours trading Friday, and have gained 20% so far this year. JPMorgan is just one of 18 banks sued by the FHFA back in 2011 over the alleged misrepresentation of mortgage-backed securities, and is only the fourth to reach a settlement. UBS (UBS) agreed to a settlement with the FHFA in July for $885 million. The agency has also settled with Citigroup (C, Fortune 500) and General Electric (GE, Fortune 500) for undisclosed sums. JPMorgan is large enough to easily absorb the settlement costs. It's the biggest bank in the nation, with assets of $2.5 trillion and net income of $21.3 billion in 2012. The bank has been buffeted by legal problems in the past few months, however. It has paid over $1 billion in fines in connection with last year's "London Whale" trading debacle, and $80 million more over its allegedly unfair credit card billing practices. In July, the bank agreed to pay $410 million to settle charges that it manipulated electricity prices in California and the Midwest. It is also facing scrutiny over its hiring practices in China and its alleged involvement in the Libor rate-fixing scandal. read more:http://money.cnn.com/2013/10/25/investing/jpmorgan-settlement/index.html?hpt=hp_t1

Merkel made it clear she is not amused: "I think the most important thing is to find a basis for the future on which we can operate and as I said today trust needs to be rebuilt, which implies that trust has been severely shaken.Obviously words will not be sufficient. True change is necessary." French President Francois Hollande expressed his concerns about just how widespread spying is in the new age of connectivity:" The problem is not which leader has been spied on, but it is the extent of this network. Because it doesn't only concern heads of state, but also companies and citizens. So it goes much further than just relations between states and leaders, It is a major problem".

Many marched on Thursday in Sidi Bouzid, the birthplace of the uprising in the country where the Arab Spring revolts began. But those taking part have not seen the changes they had hoped for. Many blame the government, urging it to step down as it has promised to do. "These people can no longer bear this situation," said one man in the central region. "What else can we do but demonstrate like this? If the government stays, this movement will get stronger." Tears and clashes have followed the policemens murder by militants on Wednesday in Sidi Bouzid province. Critics claim the moderate Islamist-led government has failed to rein in hardliners. The ruling Ennahda party has pledged to resign in a power-transfer deal but only when certain conditions are met. It insists on the completion of the countrys new constitution, the establishment of an electoral commission and a clear election date.

How American spies monitored calls of THIRTY-FIVE world leaders after government official handed agency rolodexes of numbers The National Security Agency has monitored the phone conversations of at least 35 world leaders after being given their numbers by an official in another government department, according to a classified document leaked by whistle-blower Edward Snowden. The confidential memo reveals that senior officials in 'customer' departments such the White House and the Pentagon were encouraged to share their 'Rolodexes' of contact details with the NSA. The agency then added the phone numbers of the foreign politicians to their surveillance systems and started to monitor them. According to the leaked document handed over to The Guardian, one unnamed official handed over 200 numbers - including those of at least 35 world leaders - none of whom were named. The revelation comes amid mounting diplomatic tensions between the US and its allies, after the German chancellor Angela Merkel accused the American government on Wednesday of tapping her mobile phone. The White House has denied that it is currently listening in on Merkel's phone calls. Spokesman Jay Carney said on Wednesday that 'the United States is not monitoring and will not monitor the communications of the chancellor.' But German newspaper Der Spiegel noted that the White House spokesperson 'did not wish to specify' whether the U.S. denied monitoring Merkel's communications in the past. European leaders united in anger Thursday as they attended a summit overshadowed by reports of widespread U.S. spying on its allies. German Chancellor Angela Merkel said the allegations had shattered trust in the Obama administration and undermined the crucial trans-Atlantic relationship. Merkel's unusually stern remarks as she arrived at the European Union gathering indicated she wasn't placated by a phone conversation she had Wednesday with President Barack Obama, or his personal assurances that the U.S. is not listening in on her calls now. 'We need trust among allies and partners,' Merkel told reporters in Brussels. 'Such trust now has to be built anew. This is what we have to think about.' 'The United States of America and Europe face common challenges. We are allies,' the German leader said. 'But such an alliance can only be built on trust. That's why I repeat again: spying among friends, that cannot be.'
