this is al jazeera. these are some of the stories we are following it's expected to get worse before it gets better, colorado officials have rescued hundreds of people by air and land. vows to restore the shore again, but first on the agenda, trying to figure out how that massive fire starts. plus, a sand shortage in the sunshine state, how miami beach is dealing with its shrinking shoreline. ♪ .

>> and we start with breaking news this morning. the u.s. and russia have agreed to an arms deal for syria. within the last hour, secretary of state and his russian counter part, serovar leg of have said they must give inspectors a head of their compete destruction, just about half an mother ago. kerry outline add sib point frame work, must hand oh a full list of its stock pile within a week. we will be going live to geneva very shortly to speak to phil itner, in the meantime, the u.s. and russia have agreed to an arms deal for syria. it's happening in geneva. secretary of state and his russian counter part, have said as i said, they must turn have access to the weapons. let's go now to fill who

has been monitoring this press conference. this is breaking news, and significant process has been made. give us the highlights. >> well, rachelle, we are still die jetting what is going on here in geneva. there's a lot of information we are getting from both secretary of state kerry and from the foreign minister. but what we do know is a number of different things about what appears to be an agreement between the russians and the americans on how to proceed. most important is the fact that this proposal to the u. n. security council will include a clause that will basically put is assayed regime under consequences of the chapter 7 resolution of the u.n. charter. that means basically if they don't comply with getting rid of chemical weapons that consequences will come to syria. now that could be inning

from sanctions to military strikes and that's something that's been a major sticking point between the russians and the americans. so it appears as though there's been an agreement between moscow and washington to still keep at least the theft of a military strike out there in the either, but it isn't precise. so in a lot of ways they have just kind of kicked this can down the road. most aimportantly, aside from that, however, is the americans say they will proceed with trying procedures to destroy those chemical weapon stock piles. as you say, there's an awful lot going on here. there's an awful lot of information, and it does look like it is a significant development. but we certainly are seeing some sort of agreement between moscow and washington. rachelle. >> and phil, we have a little bit of what secretary kerry said, specifically in regard to

noncompliance, and to particularly what would happen should syria not comply with what is coming out of geneva right now, let's listen to some of that. in the event of noncompliance, we have committed to pose sanctions within the u.n. security council. ultimately, perhaps more so than anywhere in the world, actions will matter more than words. phil, i hope you heard that, he said that actions mean more than words but there was a moment, phil, when there seems to be a little bit of conflict between what secretary kerry was saying and what lavrov was saying. secretary kerry seems to have forcefully say that there would definitely still be the threat of military action should syria not comply, and lavrov seemed to say that was not the case, and

then it seemed that secretary kerry circled back and said, well there would be some sort of consequences it could be a wide range, is there an agreement on the fact that military strikes are still on the table, or are they off the table? or is it difficult to know right now? well, rachelle you have hit the nail on the head, it is blastly interesting to those of us watching it here. in a lot of ways this vagueness is purposeful, this is a way for both russian seans and americans to walk away saying we got what we want, we are pursuing a diplomatic solution to this crisis in syria concerning chemical weapons. so lavrov is hinting occasionally at the possibility of barring military strikes but at the same time, secretary kerry can say there will be severe consequences if they don't agree.

>> that's remarkable the way you framed that, and it rings so true, and both sides would say they both got to this point because ofas of both of them, the united states would say the international community is at this point because of the strikes russians would say we are here because he helped facilitate a diplomatic rout, that's how we got here in the first place, so both have something they could say with solving this problem. now, of course, the next question is how might syria react, because as you recall, bashar al-asaad is laying out his own time line, and a week was not in that time line. >> that's another interesting point you bring up, because secretary kerry was very specific, and very strong in his statements about look, a month is not long enough -- is not quick enough for the regime to provide the information on the precise size and nature of the stock pile. we need to see it within

a week. so very strong words from secretary kerry aimed at damascus. the russians, of course, as you say, also putting forward positions that haven't moved much, but we also have to look at this in a bigger context, and that is the sense that this does seem there's some impetus now to restart a peace process, and they will be meeting in the u. n. during the general assembly in about two weeks to not only take care of this issue, but hopefully to try and end the conflict in the moody civil war in syria. >> really significant development coming out this morning. thank you so much for that wrap up, and for putting it in context for us, with ewill be touching base with you again. now to rising flood waters in colorado. on friday, carries 50 times more water than normal, the disaster is so widespread it has effected just about everyone in its path. really dramatic what beam are going through.

>> yeah, and it is still happening. the rain did stop overnight, giving them a chance to get to hundreds of people that have been trapped in isolated mountain, some without water or power, but the threat of flooding will loom throughout the weekend. colorado enters its third straight day of flash floods that claim add fought life on friday, thousands remain dropped completely isolated as bridges, roads, and at least 12 dams in the foothills have proven no match for the record rainfall. >> by the time we all got in the car and got the car started the water was up to the doors and we couldn't get out the drive way. so you can see there, that's the car. >> many communities in our western mountains are completely isolated. and there is no word access, no telephone information, no power no water, no septic, no sewer. >> making matters worse,

people say hundreds of people are still unaccounted for in boulder county. >> we are very anxious to get any word, and see if he is okay. >> but it was another day of dramatic rescues for first responders who have been forced to find any way they can to reach trapped residents with no way out. >> it's scary, i never thought -- you never think something like that could be in that situation, and all of a sudden you are trapped. >> in jamestown, national guard troops are finally able to reach 295 residents after two days. airlifting them from the remote town to safety. >> our house is gone, the road is gone. >> and as rescue teams have their hands full, a new challenge emerged late friday night. this time from boulder's main waste water pipeline. which city workers say has been breeched. officials say there's no immediate threat to drinking water, but untreated waste water is discharging directly into boulder creek. a short break in the weather gave residenting an opportunity to survey

some of the damage. >> the house is sitting in a river, cars propane tanks. >> buzz that reprieve may be short lived as forecasters are predicting several more days of rain. >> we are starting to get an idea of the massive scope of the flooding it has effected 4500 square miles in colorado, an area about the size of kentucky. >> wow. that's a lot of people, thank you so much. joining me now on the phone is ashley herring she is a public information avower the colorado office of emergency management, thank you for joining me. i know you have so much going on. the first most pressing question, how many people are unaccounted for, we are hearing fluctuating numbers. >> yes, so it is quite a few people. we are at 218 people unaccounted for right now. and we did expect that number to fluctuate as people report that they have been able to reach their loved ones or

friends. >> so that is absolutely the hope. while it is an awful number, there's a very good chance it's not merely that many. >> absolutely. as we continue rescues we know people will be reunited with their families. they will be able to contact family members of friends having said that, how many confirmed deaths to you know of? >> we have three confirmed fatalities in boulder county, and there's another one outside of our county, but in the state of colorado. >> so what is the most pressing situation you are dealing with now? is it rescuing people? it is evacuating people, is it both? >> it's both. we are definitely in the middle of life safety is our priority. the national guard and first responderred up in the mountains to rescue people that have been isolated for a while. and, of course, keep people away from running

water on roads and everything. >> are people able to reach out and tell you that they need help? are there people that are isolated and have not been able to make contact because there's no power no phone lines. >> people -- we are starting to get information from those towns. we have been able to guess rescue teams into them, and we have set up command posts in some of them, so we are starting to get information. we have a pretty good idea of who is up there and who needs help. >> do you have all the resources that you need? >> yes. we have a lot of resources. we have had very minimal shortages at this point, and we have more coming from surrounding states and from the federalth be as well. >> and my final question is if there's a breech in the pipeline that services boulder -- what more do you know about that? >> yeah, we had due to the floodwaters we had a

breech in the pipeline, and unfortunately that is causing untreated waste water to go up into boulder creek, and run through boulder week. the fortunate thing is that it is not impacting drinking water at this time. it's safe for people to drink, so that's a good thing. >> ashley thank you so much for this update. best of luck for you, as you take this one day at a time. with the colorado office of emergency management. let's turn now to meteorologist to find out when colorado may see some relief. >> we are looking at things getting a little bit better, but still we look to sigh about another possible three-inches of rainfalling. let's go back a few hours ago. you can see in boulder where the heaviest rain was, we are still getting rain pushing through, but that's much lighter than it was. but the big problem is how it interacts with the rain. here is boulder colorado

right there, just over here to the west they have the match actually looking to the west. yo uh can see those valleys, it funnels the water straight into boulder, boulder is at the bottom. and what we have seen is they are saying a one in 100 year flood happening in this yea. 12.3-inches of rain fell, in just the last three days. over the next three days though, we think that will be much less. we do have watches still in effect, nod warnings in that player area, so these have come down from flash flood warnings to flood warnings and as i said, the rain is quite heavy still, but not as heavy as what we have seen. we do expect to see about three more inches of rainfalling in that particular area. now, the other big story is what is happening in mexico. two tropical storms one towards the east, one toward the west, right there what is happening with those. we expect to see both of them making land fall over the next 24 to 30

hours. one ingrid, one is down here. the flash flooding swell the landslide is going to devastate. we will keep you up to date on this, we expect to see ingrid becoming a hurricane before it makes land fall. >> investigators are sitting through the rubble trying to find out what caused thursday's boardwalk fire ahonk the new jersey shore that burned dozens of buildings to the ground. al jazeera grappling with this devastation. as firefighters hose down embers people who lived and worked here look out ray cross the deaf station and sate not again. michelle jackson was ready, her restaurant survived the flames. >> it's been a long road since sandy, and we've been down a lot. our percentages are definitely down, and we are just starting to see things pick up and start looking promising and

feeling better about how things are going, and not know that feeling of doom. and now this happened so all that feeling that we have had before kind of came back. >> the new jersey shore was just getting back on its feet after hurricane sandy, when a fire ripped through the iconic boardwalk that runs through seaside park and seaside heights. four blocks destroyed. dozens of businesses burned. >> what hurts me the most is all this has to be rebuilt, and people that want to really come back and make something of this place. and right now, they don't know what to think. after everything that has happened and now this. i'm wondering if it is really meant to be. >> firefighters put up a desperate effort to stop the flames from spreading. >> our strategy was to do what we could to protect as many exposures as we could, and work on a

containment plan, and that's what this was. our first containment plan failed because of the volume of fire, the second worked. >> that second plan was a fire break. behind me here is where firefighters made a trench cut to stop the blaze in its tracks. you can see the effect iness of their strategy, these shops are completely burned but if we take a look over here, these stores are perfectly intact. >> just repairing the boardwalk could cost over $1 million, that doesn't include the businesses that burned. >> lucky to be here, but the rest of the boardwalk is gone now. so that's not very lucky. >> after sandy, the mantra has been jersey strong. the community will have to find the strength to rebuild. al jazeera, seaside heights new jersey. >> it's been five years since no child left behind expired. there is a new push to revive the program.

plus, shrinking shorelines and the sand shore taj, how the situation has reach add critical stage in miami beach, also, united nations pays for computer glitch.

welcome wac. in california undocumented immigrants are one step away from being granted special driver's licenses. this could be make the 11th in the nation with such a law. for deans getting a driver's license is a right of passage. for phillip martinez it will be a new life long. he visits the day labor program when he needs to find work, but getting to work can be a challenge. he came to california from mexico, but his undocumented status prevents him from getting behind the wheel, legally. >> if i'm driving without a driver's license this creates a lot of problems. not that i just get a

ticket,ly have to retrieve the car, and this will cost hundreds of dollars. >> a new state law will allow documents immigrants to apply for a driver's license. >> it's something that people dream about. >> attorney cecilia command yeah has 50 clients who are undocumented. >> not really a luxury to be able to drive to work, to bring your kids to school, to go to chunk, to go to doctors appointments, public transportation is not available for everyone. >> police have generally supporting giving licenses to undocumented workers. beyond a reasonable doubt they argue with licenses they are more likely to have insurance. but the california police chief association only got behind the law when it was amended, to require the new cards be specifically marked to indicate the card holder is undocumented. the police chief says that will ensure the

licenses can't be used for i. d. for air travel. other states that give documents already issue specially marked cards. still the vice chairwoman of california's republican party isn't convinced. >> what we are talking about is people that break the law every day. >> supporters say the new licenses will make the roads safer for everybody. >> california governor supports a. d. 60, once he signed the bill, it will become effective january 1st, the department of motor vehicles then has until january 2015 to implement the new law. >> al jazeera, san francisco. >> many of the famous speeches in miami are losing a major resource, sand, and the shortage cannot only wash away its coastline, but tourism as well. more on the shrinking risking shores. >> they attract millions

of visitors each year, jeb rate billions of dollars in revenue, but the beaches of south flood warnings n are facing a crisis. sand washes away by storms and erosion is not only replenished using sand dredges offer chef. and in miami, all the tourism places are for ocean and sand. ten if we don't have sand, we don't have anything. >> not a good thing, this is very enjoyable. we come down here all the time. >> i am sorry, but i'm grateful for what is here. it is great, it is nice. and it seems like there's still plenty. >> it might look that way to brian flip who has been working on beach restoration, says the situation is now critical. >> we don't at this point have a clear cut solution to it. and so far we are in the middle of hurricane season, in fact, we are at the peek of it right now, and we have been lucky so far, but if we

have a major storm, we would have to come up with a source of sand very quickly. >> among the solutions being considering is to bring sand in from places like the bahamas, mine it inland or even use ground up glass. but there are those in the environmental community that says all of this is ignoring a much larger, much deeper global crisis. >> we are going to leaf our port facilities, our airport, all these things will be nonfunctional, and the same is true in broward county. >> says rising ocean levels pose a much greater threat, he predicts much of south florida will be under water by centuries end, perhaps much sooner, and he thinks the search for sand is fruitless. >> at what point do we quit pouring money into a lost cause and start spending the money in helping people buy out and relocate. >> but for now authorities are continuing their search for sand in are confident

a solution will be found. the beaches here are worth a fortune, and most want to enjoy them while they can. >> so united nations said it will honor the tickets it accidentally gave away for free. that's great news for people that bought them on thursday after united listing some air fairs for $0. many customers got tickets for just five or $10 paying only the cost of that security fee. two aaron is not saying how many it accidentally gave away, or how much this mistake cost. a break through between the u.s. and russia on syria, a live report from geneva coming up. and a mission impossible trying to fly across the atlantic using hundreds of helium balloons. yeah. cuts his trip short. >> a record setting day for golfer, how low did he two? the answer coming up later in sports.

>> just to be able to defend the title for once will be awesome, and i've done so well here the past few times i've played, getting to the semis or finals. it's been really, really exciting. i'm happy that i've been able to consistently do well here. >> australian cricket captain michael clarke led his team to victory against england, scoring his first tonne. england were bowled out for 227

in pursuit of australia score of 315/7. >> and now take a look at this young man who has more than a few expectations to live up to. this is argen tendulkar son of sachi, in his father the highest run scorer.

united states and russia have just agreed on a outline for seizure of syrian chemicals. syria must turn over an account of its arsenal, within a week, not 30 days. the agreement will be backed by u.n. security council resolution, that could allow for seances or other consequences for syria does not comply. al jazeera is back with us from geneva, so phil, tell us a little bit more about this time line, that was layed out about the consequences. there was a lot of ground covered this morning and they seem to make

significant progress. i will let you take it from there. >> significant progress, as you say, an awful lot of information, an awful lot of new things to digest here in geneva. what is most important, is that the americans and russians have come as close to an agreement, as they possibly are going to. or that can be expected. most importantly, it looks like secretary of state and foreign minister have agrees that there needs to be a discussion about securing the chemical weapons stock piles in syria, how that can be done, and a clear assessment of just the scale and the amount, the size, and the type of those chemical weapons. the thing that's been purposely left vague here, is the use of military strikes in

response to the asaad regime. and that we have -- those of us that are watching here, think that's purposely being kicked down the road. but secretary kerry leaving the option open for a military strike. now, let's have a quick lesson to what the secretary of state had to say about that. >> in the interest of accountability, the quite and russia have agreed that the syrians must provide the organization for the prevention of chemical weapons and supporting personnel within immediate and unfettered right to independent any and all sites in syria. 50, destruction. we have agreed to destroy all chemical weapons including the possibility of removing weapons for destruction outside of syria. so you can see there, the focus here has been on getting it of those weapons but some of the

precise language of what will happen if president bashir al assayed does not comply, that's been relatively vague, the russians still say that we need to iron out what the consequences were, secretary of state kerry saying that there is providing within the u. n. security council chapter that would allow for some serious consequences, and again, let's have a quick listen to what kerry had to say about that. >>he basically said if the syrians do not comply with getting rid of all their chemicals weapons that would be a breech of the so called chapter seven wherein the u. n. security council charter and that would mean -- that calls for a response

from the global community if they think there is a threat to regional or global peace. now the consequences are just that, it could be shaneed and it could be military strikes. it is purposely being left vague, so nobody looks like they lost face. there will be further meetings in geneva in two weeks time, but it does look like the world has stepped away from the bring of an immediate player up of conflict in the eastern mediterranean. the international community still does not have the official report from the u.n. either. >> that's right. they don't have the report documenting exactly what the assayed regime has in its chemical weapons stock pile.

now the asaad regime has said they would sign the chemical control charter documents and that in a month's tame, they would provide all the information about what they have, in terms of chemical weapons. now secretary kerry is the bun who expressed what is apparently documented in this proposal, that that's too long. that's not quick enough. for the world, secretary of state kerry saying that damascus has to get that information to the west within a week. now whether asaad will agree to that or not, we will have to wait and see, but it is interesting that both the russians and americans have gone on the same page in terms of this thesed to be done quickly and clearly document sod that a process can begin on getting inspectors into the country admits it must be said a vicious civil war to try to

secure those chemical weapons. >> indid, steel happening right now. phil, thank you so much. another big story of the day, the massive nodding in colorado shows no signs of letting up. the death toll from the flooreds has gone up to at least four. emergency officials say 108 people are unaccounted for. about 3,000 people are still stranded by the russian rushing waters. >> good morning, we are looking at very cold temperatures across the northeast, actually the coldest we have had for your morning lows all summer. 54 right now in new york city. it is going to be a beautiful day for most people. temperatures will not be that warm. and unfortunately, for the rest of the week that's what we are looking at. maybe a high of 74 degrees.

and also some cooler temperatures across the great lakes. that's because the arctic air is dipping down. as you noticous here, we are getting those warm temperatures coming up. michelle back to you. >> it's been fine years since the no while left behind law expired now a push to reauthorize it. school districts are bushing to approve a new version of that law. the full senate has yet to take it up. a growing number of students teachers and parenting are opting out, refusing to take part in those tests. last spring, some seattle high schoolteachers refused to administer a test they said didn't accurately reflect their

knowledge. >> eric thinks highly of his children's elementary schoolteachers, so when the father of two heard they were opting out of giving the yearly academic progress test, known as the mat, he was relieved. >> it strucked me there was a huge variance in the scores, if you take the temperature with a thermometer three times and you get three different answers you may start thinking yo uh have a bad thermometer. >> thetist is given three times a year, and has no bearing on district finances, or students ability to graduate. it's just a way to track progress. >> the emphasize on the overuse of testing is exhausting, and a terrible use of resources. >> last march the teachers at griffin school staged the first boycott in the nation. in may, the school cricket yielded it to pressure, and made this test optional at all seattle schools. >> when we stood up against the test here at

garfield high school, we didn't plan it but we had amazing support. >> it is a nationwide fight, the highest known opt out rate according to the national center for fair and open testing is on new york's long island, where 50% of students in one district chose not to take a standardized test. >> but some educators stand by these tests. >> i am for standardized testing, mostly because it gives us a common understanding of the skill level that students need to meet or exceed per grade level. >> for the last three years students a at rainier elementary have performed above the state average. >> i would want them to participate, because i need to know that they are learning what they need to learn, and when the kids matter those standards they are proud, they are confident. and they are motivated. >> even as is revolt against standardized

tests happen across the country, a new testing system is about to go into angst, in 45 states and the district of columbia. common core will focus on math and english, it isn't a federal program, it's run by the states themselves. >> common core is described as a real world approach to learning, and instead of themmization, students are taught schools they will use after high school. >> parents and teachers are still learning how common core curriculum will work, and there is some opposition. objections from the five states not involved include the cost of the tests, and technological challenges in administering them. al jazeera, seattle. >> former baseball slugger barry bonds says he wants to begin serving his sentence. a federal appeals court has just held his conviction. the former all star faces 30 days of house arrest, also two queiroz base. the court ruled that the

grand jury testimony hindered into elite athlete's use of performance enhancing drugs. tell me about it. >> thank you, that scary date, friday the think teen was a very lucky day for jim fouric. no matter who claims the trophy, his accomplishment friday is what everyone will remember about this week. he was tearing it up, at the bmw champion, he carted 11 birdies and an eagle at 43 years young, he became just the 6th player to shoot that magical 59. fouric is sitting at 11 under par, he is tied with four of the lead with brett send question, he talks about his big day. >> started thinking about wit a par 38 on the front. i thought if i shoot four

under, and instead of worrying about i kind of tries to put the back nine behind me, it is done, overwith, instead of trying to count nine, ten, 11, 12, let's go on the front nine, and fire a good number, let's see if we can get it to four under. >> today in college football, it is number one alabama, verses texas a&m. alabama of course wants revenge after the aggies pulls the upset, and of course this battle comes amidost a report that five current players recently received improper benefits. all of this and more with gram watson of yahoo sports. >> former offensive lineman is now with the chargers was implicated in that report as having

taken money from agents, and so it is going to be interesting, he is now cooperating with alabama's compliant office, it will be interesting to see what they find out, what the nc agoa does, and they may have to vacate some winds including their national championship. it think they will be the biggest fall out from the city. alabama has the most to lose. >> how much of a test do you think this will be this weekend? >> i think it will be a great test. i wasn't necessarily all that impressed with alabama in their season opener, i don't think anybody was. they didn't play very well on offense, they were good on defense, but texas a&m, that offense is a whole different animal, and they are so much better this year than they were last year, and they got out to a 20-0 lead on them last year in the first quarter, so i think that they are going to have to

contain johnny to be able to beat texas a&m. i think it will be a much better game than people initially assumed. we don't know what to expect, they have been missing six so far. so i think there's a lot of question marks but the one question we don't have is how well he will play, and he will be amazing, and if alabama can't stop them they are going to lose this game. >> if they are losing to michigan does notre dame bounce back? >> oh, absolutely. and i think this is a game to get notre dame back on track, get them feeling better about themselves especially going into a tough schedule, and next week playing michigan state. >> ohio state will be playing the first road game, how do you think they will fair? >> this is going to be really fun, because ohio state has -- you know, a lot of people have high hopes for ohio state, we don't know what is going to happen for their quarterback, but kenny

guyton, the guy that has stepped up as maybe the best back up quarterback you could ask for, so this will be a lot of fun to watch. cal is a very uptempo offense. and he leads the country in passing yards right now. and so it's going to test that ohio state defense very young, missing seven starters from a year ago, so i think this this will be a very fun game, in the end i think ohio state, is good enough, to pull out the win. was we are working today. >> why did you bring that up. >> in rah bucket tied to 300 giant balloons, really, but the trip inspired by the disney animated film "up" did not go as planned. he took off from the main coast, instead falling

short, just 12 hours later landing in new fan land canada, once he hit the ground, this is how he updated his faze book status, hmm, this doesn't look like france. japan has launched an -- a more effective way of sending satellites into space. >> it had lift off today, but it came after a two week postponement, an earlier lamping was aborted because of a

computer glitch. a recent discovery by a california lab has found a way to make humans invisible to mosquitoes. mosquito born illnesses are responsible for hundreds of thousands of death every year. hopeful to make a global impact. across human history there is no other single disease that has caused more sickness and death then malaria. >> a promising does coverry, made while reresearching mosquitoes aimed to change that reality. at the university of california and his team of researchers learned that mosquitoes are able to track and target humans by the carbon diocese we expel while breathing. >> that was the discovery that we could find something to block those

receptors. >> humans can literally become invisible to mosquitoes. and partners with local investors to help create factor laboratories. with dr. michelle brown as lead sign tinses the company began experimenting with odors to create a nontoxic affordable easy to use product, to combat mosquitoes. >> this product has the potential to help people all around the world, with all the types of mosquito born diseases that are out there. >> creators oif patch say when you wear it it asks as an inhave hadble barrier for up to 48 hours. >> that will create a personal cloud around the individual, that will change the paradigm in how we protect ourselves, and especial hi how we protect those who are in the areas most impacted by malaria. >> it is promising news, to pill gram africa that battles the disease, the organization will help

test the patch there in the next 12 months. >> ultimately what jeff wants to see is will the product effectively reduce malaria transmission. >> the patch is still in the development stage and waiting approval from the environmental protection agency. >> in some parts of uganda over 80% of children under the aiming of five are effected by malaria. this is having deaf stated con wednesdays. we have to find a better solution. >> in 2010, the world health organization estimated 660,000 people died from malaria. once approved the patch is expected to be made available worldwide. stephanie stanton, al jazeera, riverside, california. >> with more i'm joined now on the phone, from uganda, she is the u. executive director. thank you for joining me this morning, how big of a break through is this?

>> hay, rachelle. this is really exciting to us, because we want to see uganda malyia free, and the patch is really unusual. because of its model a for profit model which is unusual in this public health stage, and because it's an unusual kind of repellant. >> how do you anticipate this really being impactful in people's lives? >> well, you know, we want to do tests here to find out whether people like wearing the patch. i don't want to pretend that we know the answers to those before we do them, but if they -- if it is very effective, and people like wearing the patch, one thing that is very exciting about that is that we have discovered that mosquitoes here are responding a little bit to bed nets by biting earlier in the day, and being very tricky and alluding the current control measures.

the kite patch has the potential to protect people during those hours when bed nets can't protect them. >> that's fantastic, so assuming that let's say it is approved, assuming people like to wear them, how do you anticipate distributing these to the people that with benefit from it? >> that's not something we are going to do. we are going to do the product tests. but they have a wonderful financial model and their idea is that by selling the patch at full price in the first world, they will be able to sell it at a very subsidized price. where mosquitoes are an actual danger, and not just a new sans. if that's successful, there will be a lot of success. >> this is a fascinating development, and i hope that it ends up being

if you are wondering she will be performing an opera. we learn this week that twitter has filed for an initial public offering expected to be the most high profile stock market debut since facebook i. p.o. last year. the founder it's become one of the fastest growing social media services. with 200 million users it is a regular tool that celebrities, politicians, journalists, bloggers. the culture of the business, he joins many efrom san francisco this morning, thank you so much for your time, appreciate it. good morning. >> face become initially offering if we all remember that was a little rocky, to say the least. >> just a little bit. >> but the stock now is doing well. it is an all time high,

how can twitter c. e.o. convince investors that lit be different with twitter? >> well, here is why a lot of folks are really optimistic about this i.p.o. the dirty little secret, the past maybe two years has been that twitter is actually been the company that's been at the forefront of how internet companies think about mobile advertising. and here is why. the old model, of web advertising was basically you had content on say the left side of the page, adds on the right. twitter about two or three years ago was the first company to come out and say hey, why don't we take those ads on the side of the page, make it look like the content that we normally have, and stick it in the middle of the stream. and after they rolled that out about three years ago, facebook followed suit. face back has always been a little bit behind the curb. now when facebook went public can they make money with global advertising, just in the

past couple of months they have begun to say that their efforts which is a copy of what twitter has been doing, is actually paying off. that their mobile advertising was exceeding all the expectations wall street went wild, their stock jumped up 20%, it is now much higher than the 38 i. p.o. price. can internet companies tackle the question, is completely changed and twitter is actually the one that should be getting credit for that. >> i think i need to mention that facebook users don't like all that advertising, but it is what it is. so going public, with this i. p.o., how may it effect twitter users? will there be a further change, if it isn't broke don't fix it? >> the same with facebook, you will most

likely see no apps, which users always hate. twitter has been extremely careful from the beginning. they have always had this relevancy engine that measures do you seem to be liking the ads that you are seeing. basically if you see an ad from say sprite, or pepsi, or chevy, are you retweeter it. are you replying to it. are you pave voting it, and then that may be a sign that okay, you don't really mind them showing you ads. but if it's completely irrelevant to you they will show you less. but do expect there to be more aggressive advertising. no's just a fact of life for public internet companies. >> you wrote a major coup for the bank, why is it a big deal for goldman and how high are the stakes for them? >> well, morgan stanley

stole the show by claims the lead underwriting shot, which was by far the biggest tech i. p. o. in probably a decade, but of course, we all saw what happened. now everybody thought that maybe twitter may be a different tact, and do everything that facebook didn't do, and have the anti-facebook i. p. o. and maybe chosen goldman was one sign they want to do everything differently. listen, this can all go smoothly, trust us. >> jerry, thank you so much for your time. >> thank you. >> al jazeera continues we are back in 2 1/2 minutes. thank you so much for your time.
