in 10 years. >> yeah. >> what's russell simmons doing at 65? 10 years from now? >> i want to be doing the same thing that i am doing now .

>> they have military style weapons. this is no rag tag militia.

those are russian interests. the majority of the population in crimea is ethnic russian. they don't want radicals coming in from kiev. >> it was our initiative to stop the fire from spreading into crimea. that's why we don't want radicalism here. fascism here. we want peace here. >> crimea has always had close ties to russia. it was part of russia until 1954. the bonds remain strong. earlier this week they occupied parliament. the locals are demanding new check points to protect their families and their homes, they say. >> no one sponsors us. there is a self defense force. from surrounding villages.

>> most crimeaens remain the men in camouflage whoever they are. >> part of basic agreements between the ukraine and rush over the black sea fleet. >> that's right, tony. the prime minister hear saying that the these are russian forces. we have no confirmation of that on the ground. these men .

>> they number 15 shoes russian sailors. it is a major naval base. they want to protect their interests. we have seen russian armor personnel carriers in the last day or so. they are just exercises. but raising tensions a bit here in crimea, kiev watching very closely what is going on, who is in charge of security. very much an open question, tony. >> jennifer glass for us. as we told you, president obama said tonight that the u.s. is deeply concerned by the reports of russian military movements in ukraine. there will be consequences if russian intervenes. mike viqueira for us at the white house. mike, the president didn't say what those intervention measures could be. >> no one takinbe.

>> what is left on the table? that's going to be the speculation. obviously it will be economic sanctions on what materials, when would those sanctions go into effect. if it's the united nations security council well, one of the permanent five would veto unless one of them is russia. it caps two days of escalating rhetoric and the secretary of state. today talking about lines that shouldn't be crossed. two consecutive days of conversations with counterparts. and today the president spoke and said it would be a grave mistake if russia from to violate the territorial integrity and sovereignty of ukraine, which is evidently is happening. >> obama: we are now deeply concerned of reports of military

movements taken by russian federation inside ukraine. russia has an historic relationship with ukraine, but any violation of ukraine's sovereignty and enter toral integrity would be deeply destabilizing which is not in the interest of ukraine, russia or europe, and would represent a profound interference in matters that must be determined by the ukrainian people. >> unclear what the president's options are at this point, and right on cue, republicans in congress and senate hammering you reap what you sow. your credibility has suffered by making ultimatums in syria and not backing them up. >> we heard from former ukrainian president viktor yanukovych. yanukovych talked about his homeland and his fight, phil,

from moscow, if you would, walk us what turned out to be a very busy day in russia. >> reporter: yeah, a lot of communication coming out of russia today as the government in moscow echoed concerns that were expressed at that press conference by the ousted ukrainian president. >> the forces in kiev now are nationalists, extremists and fascist. he only left ukraine because he feared for the lives of his family. the outline of his escape from kiev and how he came to russia using an assortment of helicopters, plains and cars and pursued all the way. friends offered him help, and he took it. russia announcing earlier that they would protect him. he said he is still the elected

president of the country. that would shoot the new government in kiev. they want the russians to extradite him for prosecution following accusations that yanukovych stole tens of billions of dollars and spirited it away in foreign banks accounts. they said they would investigate freezing assets. that will no doubt further aggravate yanukovych. >> i fully place responsibility upon those who brought our country to this crisis and this disaster. they are to blame for that, and those who now are in power, and those today command them in maidan, visible and invisible

behind the scenes, and presented the west and united states of america who were patrons of maidan. >> reporter: they think that the events in the ukraine is nothing short of a coup d'etat. russian defense ministry officials said russian troops on maneuvers in ukraine are in war games were scheduled months ago and not the result of a current environment. it has ukraine officials deeply concerned. not only for the landscape but for the fallout if the ukraine falls out of his sphere of influence under his watch. now tony late in the day here in

moscow, the ministry of foreign affairs put out a press release about troop movements inside crimea. they said officially the only troops that have moved inside crimea were tank units that were already there in an effort to secure that region. they say no extra troops have been sent into ukraine. no crossing of border, tony? >> let me ask it this way, phil. are the troop movements now going on inside ukraine being used as a provocation by the russians to get some kind of reaction from this interim government in kiev? >> well, trying to decipher the intentions of the russian government and the russian military can be quite complex. as we saw in 2008 in georgia,

russia does use their citizens or their ethnic residents as a reason to inter convenient in neighboring countries. of course, that certainly is not official. but it's something that obviously a lot of people are keeping a very close eye on. >> phil ittner for us in moscow. let's look at the crucial crimea peninsula. let's look at how ukraine's history is effecting this current crisis. >> tony, it's a long and complicated history with a nation divided between those who want closer ties to russia and those who don't. >> for more than three centuries crimea has been linked to russia. in the 18th century katherine the great conquered the tatars. >> one thing we can say about crimea, most people there do not

consider themselves ukrainians. the majority consider themselves russians. >> the majority of crimea's residents are ethnic russians. before his ousting, viktor yanukovych signed a deal with russia to keep the fleet in crimea. >> it has been part of the russian navy since peter the great founded it. it is the flagship, literally to speak, of the russian navy. it is a point of pride. it is not necessarily military taylor for them. there have been contingency plans for them to move it on the russian black seacoast if that became necessary, but i think it would an very severe below to russian pride to have to do th that. >> reporter: russia is determined to maintain it's historic influence on ukraine. it is russia who took the enclave and made it part of the

soviet union. the ussr broke up in 1991, clearing the way for ukraine to gain its independence while still seeking elusive national unity. while ukraine is certainly in a state of flux, one expert does not believe crimea will join with russia. 91% of ukrainians including ethnic russians in ukraine voted for independence. >> that is so true. what they may want is more autonomy, but never wanted to secede. they may rebuild their organization there, military officials say the group's leader has been bringing in experienced militants t to fight.

and that a pullout could jeopardize those efforts. thousands of documents were declassified today giving an inside look at the clinton white house. the william jay clinton library covering everything from hillary clinton's healthcare task force to administration response. all documents have been made available to the public online. many expecting to see ten inches of rain. mandatory evacuation orders were issued for some towns in fear of landslide. let's take you back a bit. in 1969 91 people were killed in landslides in that area. >> meteorologist: tony, a very impressive storm. you can hardly not see this

storm right here. how big it is. of course we're concerned with what is happening here across parts of california. take a look at the most current radar summary. you can see we've had showers to the north. the heavier showers yesterday were to the north. now we're seeing the heaviest showers across the l.a. area and across that is causing major problems. san francisco, if you're traveling in and out of the airport, they're experiencing four-hour delays right now. these are rain totals that we've seen in the area. we've seen 3.82 in the last 24 hours. from los angeles in general we normally see 3.8 to 3.9 for the whole month of february. this will continue all night long. we talked about a lot of flooding going on. wait until you see the different shades of green. that is all dealing with flooding, whether it's coastal flooding or flash flood warnings in effect. as you can see that is most of

the area. that will continue at least through tomorrow. as you can see tonight we're expecting heavy rain tomorrow. it's going to start to ease, and we don't expect it to end until tomorrow night. >> thank you. coming up on al jazeera america. aussies speaking out about people seeking asylum in their country after hearing claims of how poorly they're treated. and how muslim and jewish leaders are working together to calm public outcry against a mosque in the heart of the bible belt.

>> well, i love this. more signs of bad weather is really taking a toll on the recovery. david shuster is filling in for ali velshi on "real money" tonight. we thought this would be the case, but how is the weather hurting the economy? >> all you have to do is look at some of the data you got today. the gross domestic product of the last three months came in today about the 2.4%. that's a lot lower than a lot people thought at the time. back in december a lot of people were pegging gdp at 4.1.

and then the point being the economy was a lot softer. people were trying to figure out what is the reason, and one of the things that you hear from economists if you look at weather and how that tracks the consumer trend, you see this flat, not very robust growth until the weather starts to pick up again. >> right, right, david, we've been talking a lot over the last few days, weeks, months about ukraine. i'm wondering how that might--the tensions there might impact the markets here? >> well, tony, it could be huge. the ukraine serves as an essential hub to get goods and services from russia to germany, european union, they are a pipeline to carry oil from russia to the west. to the extent that you drain is

unstable or uncertainty, global markets hate that. one of the reasons why they've been hating it over the last couple of months is because of turmoil in the emerging markets. places where you put your money such as in brazil, argentina, you get a high return. but when things don't turn around, such as bad economic report out of china, people lose their money out of emerging markets and put it in safer investments. what that did last month, when that happened with china for example is the stock market was moved. it took a dive for a couple of weeks, and great fears tonight that perhaps looking at another stock dive next week if, in fact, the uncertainty in ukraine continues. >> david, what else are you working on? >> tony, we've got a great segment coming up about whether building sports arenas help revitalize the downtown. we're talking particularly about the city of detroit, the city council just approved spending on a new hockey arena for

downtown detroit. there is a big controversy about the deal and whether it will work. we'll look at that at 7:00 p.m. eastern. >> that's hugely controversial. i'm glad you're taking it on. david, appreciate it. "real money" standing in for ali velshi on al jazeera america. australians speaking out on how people seek asu asylum are treated. >> the australian government is known for its tough stance on immigration and asylum policies. this comes from their website. it says no way. you will not make australia home. then it goes on to say, if you get on a boat without a visa you will not end up in australia. no matter who you are or where you're from you will not make australia home. but some people try any way. and reza an iranian, who was at

this detention center that holds 1300 eye sa1300 asylum seekers. journalists are not allowed to enter the center, but i will tell you that he died during a riot last week. huge protest in australia followed, and also a website which started called "sorry asylum seekers. this is started by an australian. take a look at these images. these are australians who are sorry for the way that asylum seekers are treated in australia. another said, i'm sorry. another said seeking asylum in australia, they do not speak for me. we are so ashamed. and this one says, i am sad. i'm ashamed. and take a look at this one.

it says we are so sorry for those seeking asylum in australia. it's no crime to seek asylum. now the australian administration ordered an independent review of what happened last week. the person who started this website said that it wasn't to get into the politics or debate necessarily of border policy. he wanted to highlight the fact that there are australians with compassion. who want these people to be treated in a very dignified way. >> i will tell you that political debate is really a heated one there. marie y i appreciate it. thank you. see you later in the program. >> "doctors without borders" say lives are at africa in myanmar after the government moved to expel that organization. the humanitarian group said that the decision came after it reported treated nearly two dozen muslims.

for months after an officially opened there is still a lot of opposition to a mosque in tennessee. but the public outcry for religious minorities. >> reporter: every day begins and ends with prayer. for the second time ever rasheed and dozens of his fellow muslims embark on a pilgrimage. they all travel to a jewish temple on the other side of town. >> we want a new generation of muslims and jews that work together. and work together for the betterment of our community here. and tennessee, the state. >> reporter: they say the muslim community faces new legal challenges.

before it even opened it's doors it was met with public opposition. vandals spray painted not welcome on a sign and burned construction equipment. now opponents are taking their fight to the u.s. supreme court saying the public did not give adequate planning notice. nashville's rabbi said the meeting shows the two religious communities show common goals protecting the first amendment right and fighting radicalism. >> for jews and muslims, this is a rare event for anywhere in the world. it's especially rare in the buckle of the bible belt in nashville, tennessee, and even more rare given the conflict that has gone on around the construction of the mosques. >> reporter: the backlash has strengthened their faith. >> i learned that what is right would prevail. and no one can go against the

american constitution and win. this radicalism and racism will go to one place in history, to the trash. >> very active in the struggle of civil rights. built upon the idea of rabbis leading the congregation in uncomfortable circumstances to stand up for what is right. >> both the jewish and muslim community say they'll continue to work together to break down stereotypes of both cultures and they hope it with be a role model for the community, the world, and for generations to come. al jazeera, nashville. >> ukraine's new leaders say they're being invaded by russia. they claim russia forces have taken over airports and brought in hundreds of troops. plus a rare look at america's highest court. we have a secret recording. that's next.

>> president obama said the u.s. is deeply concerned about reports of russian military movement in ukraine. he says there will be cost for any military intervention there. the president spoke out after unidentified heavily armed men took over the airport at the crimea peninsula airport. he applied to president vladimir putin to stop russia's open aggression against this country. with us is director of the hudson center for political and military analysis. richard, good to talk to you. i appreciate your time. the president, president obama is saying there is--hum--there are reports of actual russian military movement inside ukraine. that line coming from the

president of the united states, how worrying is that? >> it is worrying there were earlier indications that it is unclear whether these are local forces, whether they're paramilitary, and if there is any affiliation with russia isn't clear. president obama in his statement is warning russia not to inte ir convenininterintervintervene. >> it would have to be speculation. there are a range of possibilities. they could be russians, regular forces, special forces. they could be russian volunteers with the government. they could be ukrainians who are russian speaking or pro russian who is have been mobilized, and

then you speculate are they mobilized by moscow or former government or just local people trying to defend their right. we just don't know. but it's not a good thing when you have armed men in this way seizing criminal facilities. >> let's take a step back. how concerned are you that these tensions, and we're talking about this new government in ukraine. we're talking about russia. we're talking about the united states and the e.u. how concerned are you that these tensions will actually escalate? >> it--i'm more concerned during the course of the day than i was at the beginning of the day. localllogically, the e.u. and te united states do what putin said in public they should do, cooperate in the joint bailout program, and neutralize any security concerns emmat nat emam

the ukraine, i mean, it's this kind of arms band, we're seeing a darker side. and if president obama is making a warning and if he's forced to carry out the warning, clearly things will escalate. i see no scenario in which the united states or military would intervene. we could see the sanctions and similar to what we saw in georgia in 2008. >> what about the restart of the missiles defense work or the conversation about restarting the missile defense work with the czech republic? >> well, the--we have to be careful. what has happened is that president obama has changed the focus on u.s. missile defense program.

there will be assistance in pole lan. the czech republic was supposed to host a radar, but there has been no effort to revise that. with a you're going to see is much harder for the united states and n.a.t.o. to work on issues such as iran's missile defense, i think it will leave a bad after taste and it will take years to overcome. >> when the president said that the united states will stand with the international community, that there be cost for military intervention with ukraine, it doesn't sound, that i have heard comment on the president's statement that there would be boots on the ground in anyway, shape or form. you think it will be in the form of sanctions. >> it will be form of declaratory. it will be leaders denouncing intervention. there will be some concerns about the this is a bad omen for

putin's plan. there will be a lot of bad rhetoric. there may be sanctions. we have to make sure that it actually hurts russia an not ukraine, but i don't see any scenario that they would use military force against russia. >> richard, thank you. hundreds of people were injured during the mass protest in kiev's independent square, but one woman who was nearly shot to death captured the world's attention with a tweet and became a symbol for protesters. nick schifrin sat down with her. [♪ music ] >> reporter: at independent square they refuse to forget. the launch of the revolution and the shrine grows every day. these are the new heroes. they call them the heavenly

squad. nearly 100 people killed in the last ten days by police force. this country, this city is still mourning. think did not come here to hear president yanukovych's first press conference since fleeing the country. they came here to mourn those. >> we must thank those people who fought at the barricade. it's all because of them now. >> reporter: because of them. last wednesday lindsay shields walked into a massacre. [ gunfire ] >> reporter: and alexsia ran towards the bullets. towards the wounded. she's a volunteer nurse and knew she had to help. but then a sniper aimed at her. the bullet went straight through

her neck. >> do you remember the gunshot? >> i remember everything, she says. >> in the ambulance she tweeted the words in ukrainian, i am dying. it went viral. she became a symbol of sacrifice. >> when you were in the ambulance you had your phone. >> i was convinced i would die, she says, so i wanted to say good buy. it was a miracle she survived. it was a miracle she didn't lose her voice. and now she pledges to return to independent square. >> the passions that were there, she says, they don't go away. >> i think she gave people to believe that anything is possible. knowing she is alive is unbelievable. that gives people hope and belief that you must fight for what you believe in. >> reporter: thanks to people like her, 19-year-old dari isn't

afraid any more. she said that yanukovych is no longer her president. >> we know he's afraid. he's running away in an impossible way. he now knows that we have so much power, and he does not any more. >> reporter: power because of those who fought and survived, and those who didn't. nick schifrin, al jazeera, kiev. >> in china the government has announced it saved more than 380 babies from online stores. babies were bought for a little more than $3,000. and in the united kingdom police worked with four countries to take down a massive financial fraud operation. they arrested 110 people. the u.k. is cracking down on the

so-called broiler rooms where they trade fake stock for enormous profits. exotic cars were confiscated and police found at least 850 victims in the u.k. and in uganda the world bank has decided to postpone a loan because of a recent law making homosexuality illegal. uganda relies on foreign aid for up to a fifth of its annual budget, and many countries are considering ending their support to the nation. malcolm webb reports. >> reporter: it's been called one of the toughest anti-gay laws in the world. the president signed the terrible act. now international donors have made it clear that they're not happy. the world banks delayed a healthcare loan saying it wants to make sure that it's objectives are not affected by the new law. >> this is a very big move by

them to say this is not social norm. it's discrimination. i think it shows a shift in the bank and they're learning about the mistakes they made in the past by having too eaks treatment a view of what the economy should be and this is looking at the social impact of our policies. >> only a small proportion of the projects the world bank has at uganda worth $1.5 billion. but uganda relies on foreign aid up to 20% of its annual budget. this week the swedish foreign minister said sweden is reconsidering its aid package. they're one of several donors who say the law is against human rights. many people here support the new law, and many people are slightly baffled by the reaction of the western donors. the donor countries never made

much noise over widespread corruption or theft of public funds or other kinds of human rights abuses which are common. the relatively isolated outcry of gay rights plays into the hands of the proponent of the new law. they claim the west has an agenda to promote homosexuality in uganda. and the new law said that that's illegal, too. it doesn't define what promoting homosexuality is, but it could be used against any gay rights activist. several were identified by a tabloid newspaper this week. many say they now live in fear of being lynched. but the politicians behind the law insist they're not discriminating against people, but protecting them. >> in the state of culture.

homosexuality in our country. >> the more they stand up to western demands makes them more popular at home. malcolm westbound, inning yo ala uganda. >> a man who shot and killed a man will not be charged. >> in georgia prosecutors cleared 35-year-old joe hendrix saying the shooting was an accident. 72-year-old ronald westbrook suffered from dementia. he wandered out of his home in the middle of the night and tried to enter the home of hendrix' fiancé. hendrix got his handgun and told police he did not respond to command to stop and identify himself. instead westbrook approached hendrix, who shot him. and public office might go from husband to wife.

earlier this week the 87-year-old congressman announced his retirement after serving 58 years in the house. he is the longest serving house member in history. in california a panel of judges voted unanimously in favor of a school's decision to ban t-shirts with the american flag on them. the lawsuits teams from an incident that happened four years ago when school officials in the school district told students wearing american flag t-shirts on cinco de mayo to turn them inside out or go home. they felt it might cause a disturbance between anglo and latino students and said it was a matter of safety. and welcomed into the catholic church last night with pope francis' permission part of the eastern catholic churches rooted in the middle east, in europe, that ordain married

priests. akik has been married for ten years. he has an eight-year-old daughter. >> whoa, that's interesting. >> yeah. >> all right, thank you, maria. >> you're welcome. >> a rare, unprecedented look inside of a supreme court. a protest group secretly recorded court arguments and posted the footage online. roxana, this is not supposed to happen. >> reporter: this is not supposed to happen. obviously cameras are banned from the court. but two activists were able to get one in earlier this week and they posted this never before seen footage online. you can barely hear the judges. but then one of the activists stands up and speaks out and criticized the justices on their ruling. >> on behalf of the vast majority of the american people who believe that money does not

speak and corporations are not people and it should not be give to the highest bidder. >> then you see security hustling newkirk out. he pleaded not guilty and could face 60 more days behind bars, but he told me it was worth it. >> that was historic. in that in the supreme court session it should be viewed to the public in the 21st century, but we feel most important what needs to be focused on is the corruption of our democracy that has reached a crisis level in the supreme court has played a huge and shameful role. >> i reached out to the supreme court. a spokesperson there told me court officials are in the process of reviewing the video and screening procedures. tony newkirk was able to get the

camera in, but he would not tell me how he snuck the camera in. >> i want to know. >> i asked if they are worried that people will get more dangerous things into court, and the spokeswoman would not comment. >> disrupting discorruptions. what about the recording video. is that illegal. >> no, but it is against court rules. court justices have said they're concerned that cameras will disrupt their work. >> i was writing that word down, didisruption. that kind of disruption leads to conversation that are needed and necessary. roxana, thank you. >> the frozen zoo. the folks from techno will show us how scientists are trying to save endangered species before they go extinct.

>> the white rhino is one of the world's most beautiful and yet endangered species. if there is any hope of saving the animal it will come from san diego's world famous zoo. techno has the story. >> reporter: at the famous san diego zoo safari park is a zoo within a zoo whose animals have been replaced by liquid nitrogen. this is san diego's frozen zoo. that's right, zoo. not the one you grew up visiting but one in which there are leaving cells of a thousand species are preserved and frozen to help and protect future generation of animals currently facing extinction. what was the genesis of preserving the cell. >> it allowed us to undertake research right from the beginning that was relevant to reproducing endangered species.

>> to restore an endangered species to full health. the cells at the zoo could be used to produce healthy offspring for thighs endangered species. when a team of boston and japanese researchers found a remarkable way of creating stem cells in mice. stem cells are capable of becoming any cell in the body, and this new discovery is promising. >> it's huge. nobody knows if it's possible in the rhino, but if it could be done in the mouse, why not the rhino. >> reporter: the hope is to transform stem cells from the white rhino into egg and sperm cells to create the white rhino. >> the surrogate would be southern white rhinos which are plentiful and we have reproducing here. >> so good to see.

>> you good to see you? >> you flew in all the way for this appearance. >> i sure did. >> love the white ryan mo rhino. just a beautiful animal. how many are still around? >> it's an incredible species, and folks at san diego zoo adore it and work hard to protect it. the reason why there are only seven left in the wir entire wo, and only four are young enough to reproduce. it comes down to the four we do have left. they're too closely related to breed. it would result in inbreeding. but when you look at th the fron zoo they have cells that are distant relations. >> i'm seeing the movie

"jurassic park" in my head. is this even remotely possible? >> it is remotely possible. we talked about that in the episode. if it is extinct, do we bring it back? should we bring it back. there are techniques out there. it's called genetic editing. we won't have dinosaurs but potentially woolly mammoths in the next 20 years. >> tell me about the piece that your team put together on tornadoes. >> tends, it's looking at technology to develop a tornado-proof building. you have to shoot projectiles in walls, and they had a pretty good time on this. >> let me tease the show. check out "techknow." terrific show. hot cast. smart, great-looking young people getting it done. sunday 7:30 eastern, 4:30 pacific time right here on al jazeera america.

>> all for science. >> aurora boreal his or the northern lights. dazzling people in parts of ireland and britain, take a look at these time-lapse photos taken in northern ireland and the irish coast. the lights were seen farther south because you know, of how usually clear and cold the weather has been. the lights are created when solar winds collide. i should let you do this part. with the earth's magnetic field. thank you. >> thanks. >> 48 hours until the oscars, and several black actors and filmmakers are up for awards. but a number of them are still having a hard time making it big on the other side of the atlan atlantic. >> not long at all until the oscars. will there be more sweet musk for "12 years a slave."

>> it's already taking two of the main prizes. it's lead actor is british and black. the film's director is, too. this movie, the best of british. "12 years a slave" has done incredibly well in the u.k. it first five weeks it took in $30 million. for black filmmakers in general they are not having a good time here. black film directors made up 7.4% of the workforce in that country. and in 2012 that number dropped to 5.4%. many of them are packing up and heading west to the united states not necessarily because they want to, but because they feel they have to because they're not going to get the breaks in this country. >> case in point, a primetime tv actor, even got a royal honor. it does not get much bigger than that. that was his problem. he felt he couldn't get any bigger here. so he moved to the u.s. and now

runs an acting school. >> many of us have left the u.k. have come to the u.s. and have gone into the upper echelon of whatever brand of entertainment we wish to go in. everyone who was born in our country make sure that they feel that they have a shot of fulfilling their potential. >> steve mcqueen directed "12 years a slave" and he's big news in the u.s. these days. but back home there is one question troubling this graduate filmmaker. >> where do we go from here? >> he just won an award for his latest documentary. for him this is not a question of why people are living. it'--leaving.it's about how to t to go. >> that's just it. is it going to be just me? how do we incorporate people and integrate the talent, and there is that. it's evidence, you know, hence the reason why people are going off to the states and winning awards an doing great things. >> these actors a and directors

may be an inspiration to brit's up and coming black filmmakers, but part of the issue is to find out why they're leaving in the first place. is it lack of funding? is it prejudice? that may be the only way to ultimately keep the next generation at home. >> and an update on the day's top stories. david shuster in for ali velshi on "real money." >> a small country caught between two economic giants. we'll look at the crisis of ukraine and the ripple effect on the global market and your investment. and could a big league sport arena help bring detroit back from bankruptcy. all that and more on "real money." there's more to financial news than the ups and downs of the dow. for instance, can fracking change what you pay for water each month? have you thought about how climate change can affect your grocery bill? can rare minerals in china affect your cell phone bill?

or how a hospital in texas could drive up your healthcare premium? i'll make the connections from the news to your money real.
