>>. and dirk ads, newt gingrich is an inventive conservative. here you go, thanks for all of you for sharing and that's going to do it for me in washington. stand by, kelly wright and jamie colby are in new york with much more. have a great day everybody. ♪ >> hello, everyone, i'm kelly wright. and welcome to a brand new hour of america's news headquarters. >> it's good to be back with you. >> good to see you. >> i'm jamie colby, good to have you here as well. topping the news this hour, presidential hopeful newt gingrich sparking controversy by saying the palestinians are invented people. and fallout both on the campaign trail and in the middle east. >> attorney general eric shoulder on capitol hill admitting the failure of the fast and furious program, and no one has lost their jobs over that program. the fallout and where mr. holder goes from here. >> a good question and former

russian president putin trying to reclaim his office while tens of thousandses are taking to the street voicing p significance to that. can the former strong man win a third term? >>. >> jamie: well, with less than a month to go. >> kelly: before the very first contest in the 2012 presidential race, a republican showdown on tap in des moines tonight. nearly all the g.o.p. hopefuls squaring off in a debate that's expect today focus on the federal deficit. but after some high profile attacks between a few big name candidates, the deficit may not be the only thing on people's minds. steve brown is live in des moines and steve, newt gingrich, well, he's been the focus of verbal attacks from bachmann, romney, santorum and now we hear about a pro-life group in iowa. >> yeah, a robbo call from iowa pro-life action, different from iowa right to life.

this is a separate, anti-abortion, pro-life group and the robo calls going out are critical of gingrich and the group describes him as not a friend of the unborn. have a listen. >> gingrich uses power as the speaker of the house to fight for abortion rights for women in nearly all cases. gingrich threatened pro-life legislators fighting for unborn babies, calling it extreme. and newt said they're going to get hurt and taught pro-abortion legislators how to use parliament think tools. take a moment to call the iowa office today. now, there's been some response from the gingrich campaign and they point out as a member of congress, speaker included, that gingrich had an almost perfect pro-life record. and and despite this particular voting record that he has, there's at least one group that thinks his record is spotty and making their

voice known in the final case before the caucuses, kelly. >> kelly: having said that, still, gingrich leads in the iowa polls and what's the biggest challenge there? >> yes, substantial leads in the teens, in the last four polls. his biggest challenge is getting together an organization, keep in mind a hall mark of successful caucus campaign is 99 counties caucus, 99 county campaign chairs and somebody standing up in every one of the over 1700 caucuses, being held that night. gingrich's caught fire late in the game and this is an effort that takes months traditionally to put together and gingrich is trying to compress that into weeks. it may be a difficult thing to pull off, kelly. >> kelly: yeah, steve, you and i have covered the caucuses before, a lot of work to be doing in a quick amount of time. let's get to rick perry, going to be spending the next month in iowa as well. and he didn't have a good time though, a good outing with the des moines register, explain what? >> well, he had some things he probably would like to take

back. first of all, he kind of flubbed, sonia sotomayor's name and referred to the supreme court as having eight judges when it's nine justices. in addition that kind of got missed by some folks, rick perry said in times for crisis he would call for a national day of prayer. he's a person of favorite. a national day of prayer existed in this country since 1952 when president truman signed the bill for a national day of prayer and honored every first wednesday, or first thursday of the month of may. and it will be the 60th anniversary of such a thing, so basically perry proposed he would do something that already exists, kelly. >> kelly: maybe he wanted to add more day for praying, nothing wrong with that. >> perhaps another one. >> kelly: steve, go get warm, thanks so much. >> thank you, kelly. >> jamie: as we near the first election to the republican nominating process. there's a new poll that shows congressional lawmakers may

need to worry about their own jobs. according to a fox news poll, congressional job approval, only 12%, not exactly a ringing endorsement. here to weigh in, kirsten power and analyst angela mcglowan. great to see both of you, thanks for being here. >> jamie. >> jamie: let's take a look at nor poll before we get started. this one was pretty shocking, a fox news poll about how voters consider government in washington. 71% say, not divided, only it's dysfunctional. >> they're exactly right. at the end of the day, we elect our members of congress to walk for us, and this is a do-nothing congress. and it's from the left and the right. they cannot get anything done after the super committee fell, and then you have the big debacle dealing with whose fault it was and the blame game. the bottom line is this: the american people want congress to do something and they want results and solutions and we're not seeing it. >> jamie: kirsten, it seems

that the president has additional challenge, not only does he have to win the vote for himself. he has to win the vote that he's a leader that can get things done and there are a number of issues where there is no resolution, there is no movement forward. how does he differentiate himself from the low performance members of congress? >> well, he has his own low numbers to worry about. his approval rating is 44% which is under normal circumstances, he wouldn't get reelected. i think it's almost impossible to get reelected if you're not at least at 51%, so-- >> let's put up the numbers, kirsten. the ones you're referring to, kirsten, if you don't mind. 44% approval means 51% disapproval and that means the number moved up. >> yeah, i think the question in terms of congress, is typically the bad numbers, looking at with congress would mean that republicans would be in trouble since they're in control of the house, but, because the president's numbers are so low, i think a lot of people are expecting

that he's going to drag down democrats. and so the republicans actually could maybe, even though they're such a high disapproval of the house could retain their seats because of the president's-- >> it's not the disapproval of the house, it's a disapproval of the house and senate and that's a disapproval of democrats and republicans, because they cannot work together. and you had democrats and republicans, a part of the super committee. that was reported after the debacle dealing with the debt ceiling debate and they could not get anything done. so, i have to disagree with you that it would hurt republicans, it will hold democrats and republicans, i think. >> and so, let me go to you, kirsten and ask you this. what does 2012 look like, could voter confidence be no low in everybody, that this election, the presidential election in 2012 looks different from any we've ever seen? >> well, i think every time we always think it's the most historic election and it's just so different and everything else, but you know, it's pretty basic, if you have

a low approval rating, and people are unhappy with you, you're in trouble. and, but in terms of the congressional numbers, you have to remember, congressional numbers are normally pretty low anyway and you can't really compare it to, say, a presidential approval or disapproval rating, and they've been lower than this before. and so, if people tend to make the decisions more on how they're feeling about the party at the time and the specific race that they're looking at. they're individual races and that plays into it. >> i don't believe that party politics is going to decide in 2012 who will take over the house and who will take over the senate. i think it's going to be politics on policy. and what they've done to create a better miracle. what results have they shown and that's nothing. that's why we have a do-nothing congress, and if all members lose their jobs, then, so be it. >> angela, last question then, what's the one issue if they were to get anything done, that would be most important to both sides of the aisle to get done for the american

people to restore some confidence? >> any type of policies that would help this economy. any type of policies that would help create jobs the american people, they're tired of the bickering. >> and jobs, jobs, jocks. >> kirsten powers and angela, great to have you here, thanks. >> great discussion between the ladies. right now let's talk about the republican presidential candidate newt gingrich igniting another fresh controversy. in an interview, the gingrich says that palestinians are an invented people because they never had a state. he also identified his foreign policy approach with that of israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu, all of this not sitting well with palestinians. our molly henneberg, this comment from gingrh and how did they respond. >> a cable channel that deals

with jewish issues and culture. and he was asked was' zionist, meaning was he a supporter of the jewish people and right to have a homeland. >> i believe that the jewish people have a right to have a safety and the commitments made -- remember, there were-- there was no palestine as part of the ott e-man empire and i think that we've had an invented palestinian people, who in fact-- historically part of the arab community. >> gingrich praised israeli prime minister netanyahu as quote, a very tough guy and quote, a very free market guy who put israel's security first, kelly. >> kelly: my understanding is that a palestinian spokesman is not so happy about gingrich, in fact, calling him ignorant, is that correct. >> reporter: yes, palestinian believe the state of israel encompasses land that should be theirs. an aide to abbas, says that gingrich doesn't know what he's talking about.

>> this is unfortunate and it shows that this guy is looking for some work on his election campaign and shows, how, how, you know, he is the history of the middle east and the palestinian people and the palestinian people, had been living in this area for thousands of years and we hope that he would reconsider his stateme statement. >> gingrich's campaign put out something to clarify his comments on the jewish channel and says that gingrich long supported the idea of a palestinian state in some form and his comments about them being an invented people was about the quote, decades long history that surrounded this issue, kelly? >> molly, thanks for that report. jamie? >> well, they had another one of those occupy wall street camps and they had to break it down and arrested dozens of protesters, the police swarming the encampment at five o'clock this morning,

tearing down the tents and warning protests they're trespassing. they had been asked to leave and here is one protesters describing the scene. >> they came here in a very nonchalant manner, they came here with overwhelming force. and there were probably about five cops to every one protester. >> they had quite a job be to do. police brought in a front loader to scoop up the debris and dump it into a garbage truck and we give you all the details here at fox. >> and that's a lot of detail. and well, we're learning more details about a 22-year-old man who cops say shot a virginia tech police officer before turning the gun on himself. ross ashley, actually attended a neighboring university called radford. he's been described as a typical college student, quiet, making it harder to understand a possible motive behind the murder-suicide and he's also suspected of stealing a car before going on that deadly rampage. >> and there are allegations

of voter fraud, not just here in the u.s., it has sparked outrage in russia. opposition leaders say prime minister vladimir putin's party manipulated votes to win recent parliamentary elections and now tens of thousands of protesters are taking to the streets of moscow. kenny logan is live from our bureau in london. hi, kitty. tell you the the latest on the protesters, are they still out there? >> the protests are now slowly drawing to a close, but without-- this would be the biggest demonstrations which russia has seen in many years. and turnout was takely high in moscow and illustrated about 100,000 people, police estimate the numbers to be lower, but certainly, a very significant number, now, the moves were largely peaceful and effective atmosphere and people carried white ribbons and white flowers. and the protests in moscow was sanctioned by the authorities, unlike earlier demonstrations, demonstrations earlier in the

week, i'm sorry, where we did see some trouble. but what is, i think, particularly important today is that these protests took place, all over russia, at least 10,000 people in st. petersburg and there were spontaneous unsanctioned protests throughout the country and certainly there's a mood of discontent. kelly. >> jamie: i'll take it. what about the demonstrators there, what do you think they can achieve there, realistically? >> their aim is to remove prime minister vladimir putin, they want to see an end to his era and want fresh elections and they claim that the parliamentary votes last sunday was rigged and there are allegations of widespread-- they want it for an investigation into the vote and for the election to be held again, because, they say that although vladimir putin's party won a small majority, that that does not demonstrate the will of the people.

and they'll try to press, but the question how do they go about doing that. they say today they'll take to the streets again soon. >> jamie: big, big crowds, kitty logan, thank you. >> kelly: a stark admission of failure by attorney general eric holder concerning the botched gun running program known as operation fast and the furious, but admitting fault doesn't fix the problem. one of hit critics tells us what he thinks the attorney general has to do next as he offers a dire prediction of his own. >> the department ensured that such tactics should never be taken again. it's a reality we will continue to feel the effects of this flawed operation for years to come. guns lost during this operation will continue to he show up at crimes scenes on both sides of the border.

capital of moorehouse college. >> shaquille o'neal says his extraordinary life that began in a rough and tough project in newark, new jersey. recalls his grandmother, mother and father gave him the kind of home that made him feel rich, even though his family was very poor. >> there was a lot of love in the house, you know, she, she always told me to dream and dream big. and growing up in the projects in new jersey i used to dream, dream about stuff that i thought i would never be able to obtain. >> and shaq's childhood dreams, grand visions of being a success in whatever he dreamed of doing, baseball basketball, starring in hollywood movies and recording top selling hits as a rap star. all of those dreams would become reality not before shaq learned valuable life lessons from his mother and his far. he says his parents were not afraid to apply some very tough love when it was needed. they wanted him to stay away

from following the wrong crowd, fearing it would lead to crime, violence, or even jail. >> my father always told me to be a leader. i was a medium level juvenile dlith, stole cookies, stole bubble gum and every time i came whom i would get a butt whooping because i got the tough love, you know, it gave me the ability to think before i followed somebody. and my father always said be a leader not a follower. >> looking back on those struggles as a child, skwoo shaquille says he would not have done that without fearing discipline from his mother and his father. >> my dad was 6-8 and, a bully didn't have a self-confidence and one day i was beating this kid up and he had an epileptic

seizure and i almost killed him so my bully days were over and i developed other ways to get through life, man. >> reporter: actually, shaq is what you call silly smart. used to use humor to make friends and diffuse bullies. and he ultimately learned to earn respect by following the wise advice of his mother and father. and they always inspired him to be the bt that he can be, through working hard, and being smart. shaq says that he knows many kids need the same kind of upbringing that he received and acknowledges, however, that some may never get the kind of attention he received. >> i would just tell them to, you know, hang in there and it's kind of tough, mom and dad have to work and the kid is left alone to be a leader, i mean, to be a follower, and i respect my father so much because he's not my real

father, he met my mother when she was a single parent with me, you know, he gave up everything for us, it's my family that made me who i am today. my mother and father, showed up with a blueprint and showed me how to master that blueprint and without them and without the love of god and you know, i wouldn't be who i am today. >> kelly: shaquille o'neal, certainly has done well for himself. very well in fact. next week on part two of my interview with shaq, we'll hear more about his incredible journey to fulfill that american dream and helping others live their life beyond a dream. >> jamie: he was admitted, fast and furious was a major failure, but attorney general eric holder is in hot water. what more, actually, does he need to do? we're going to ask the right person about this, texas cone congressman and we'll ask those questions. and they're the letters that tourists want to see, oh, yes,

>> it is the bottom of the the hour,ime for the top of the news. there's new controversy surrounding comments by presidential hopeful newt gingrich. he says palestinians are an invented people because they never had a state and his

complain clarifying that. with newt's knowledge of history and the state. and police clearing out a ten week old encampment and dozens arrested. one giant leap for the nasa space industry. they will have a launch date for a private company to try and send a space capsule to the international space center in february, let's sign up, kell. >> kelly: eric holder getting a bruising reception over the fast and furious scandal on capitol hill before a house judiciary committee this week. holder making an admission of the program's failure. >> allowing guns to walk, whether in this administration or the prior one is wholly unacceptable. the use of this misguided tactic is inexcusable and it must never happen again. >> kelly: but he's still not offering any explanation why

the program was started in the first place. what more does eric holder need to do. >> here now is the congressman, republican from texas sits on the house committee for oversight and government reform for homeland security. and thanks for joining us this afternoon. let's get right to the point. during this hearing, a lot of people were surprised that none of the members of congress asked the attorney general who was responsible in the first place for launching fast and furious, why? >> that's the big question, who, who knew what when. and we've had so much dodging from eric holder, i don't think we were really expecting to get an answer for that. but that's the bottom line question, who knew what when and how do we make sure it doesn't happen again and i'm going to add a third question to that, was this whole thing politically motivated to create a gun crisis. >> kelly: why would it have been politically motivated? >> well, if you look at some of the recent e-mails that came back, they talk about

demand letter number three, which is basically what we're starting to see implemented, where gun dealers are required to report sales of multiple weapons in border regions and that's a violation of the second amendment. >> what would you like the attorney general to do at this point? >> at this point, he needs to come clean with us, if he was responsible, he ought to step down and name names? >> he's already admitted that he will not step down under any circumstances, he will continue to serve as attorney general, and the president of the united states has also given eric holder his support, supporting him as his attorney general. what else can congress do at this point in terms of finding out who launched fast and furious? >> well, we're continuing the investigation in the house oversight and government reform committee. there's also a, a resolution going around the house, vote of no confidence in mr. holder and as you heard mr. brenner

mention in the judiciary commitment, impeachment is not off the table. >>'s calling for impeachment. what would it do in this case? will it do anything to get to the bottom of why, fast and furious was launched. this investigation is going on for almost 11 months now and we still don't have any answers, all we do know is-- >> the border patrol agent has been killed as a result of this program. >> and the justice department is stonewalling on this. if you make a mistake in life. >> if they stone wall, to say that they are stone walling, suggests perhaps a cover up. who would attorney general be trying to protect in this case. >> he could be trying to protect himself or could be trying to protect someone in the white house. >> and again, the question i guess i have to ask you once again, what more do you want from the attorney general after all of this dodge ball that's been going back and forth between congress and the justice department. where do we get to the final

bottom line that would help alleviate this problem? he's admitted this will go on and on for some time. because of the program being implemented and he says it's the wrong thing, it should never have been done right, let's get a straight answer of whose idea was it and what happened to the person who's idea it was. if i came up with that hair brained scheme i'd expect to lose my job. >> congressman, your point is well taken and to your point though, and in impeaching him or at least suggesting that, the democrats are saying that wouldn't do anything at all. it's actually more expensive and more problematic to do that, so, where do you-- again, you've got to get to the point of finding the bottom line of how this happened and getting eric holder to the table to give the total truth and nothing, but the truth. >> and that's exactly right. and if impeachment, may be the only way to do it, starting to dodging and retacting things and claiming executive privilege and lawyering up.

then we're not going to get to the bottom of it. just come clean. tell us who bid what, who knew what, when and let's move on down the road and get rid of those people and make sure the policies are in place that it doesn't happen again and make sure the american people are reassured this was not politically motivated. i think it may have been. >> congressman, i thank you for your comments, before we close, represented john conyers, democrat of michigan, also on that committee of ranking democrats saying he's been down this path before. more impeachments than anyone else in the country and that won't solve the case, maybe there is he' a better way of getting to eric holder and getting him to bring some truth to the table. thank you, sir. >> and literally the all new efficient chevy sonic is making a debut at dealership near you and gary gastelu, the lucky guy, took it for a spin. here is the car report. >> if you get your information

from television, take a good look at this hour and maybe the only time you see it for a while. >> the 2012 chevrolet sonic is on sale now, but in an effort to appeal to so-called millenials. to the media and edgy things called magazines. >> it's available as a sedan or hatchback, sharing the motorcycle inspired design cue. the difference here, back here the sedan is a very large trunk and a hatchback with a small compartment extended by lowering the seats or dropping the floor to carry larger items. that's not all this little guy can haul. the sonic comes standard with 138 horsepower 4 cylinder engine, for $700 more in the model you can get turbocharged with 138 horsepower and a lot

with no supervision. >> reporter: now, a number of public meetings have been held to try and come up with solutions to appease the neighbors, everything from adding additional park rangers for traffic enforcement to making more parks available for people to pull off and see the signs safely and those, kelly who say the people who bought these homes knew the hollywood sign was back there and comes with the turf of living in this beautiful area. >> kelly: you can't put the genie back in the bottle, can you? good day to you. >> jamie: and europe is fighting over how to get its debt under control and now there's dire new warning about an impact of a possible collapse there and what it could mean for you. more on that when you come back. i wouldn't do that. pay the check? no, i wouldn't use that single miles credit card. hey, aren't you... shhh. i'm researchg a role. today's special... the capital one venture card. you earn double miles on every purchase.

>> very good reason and a lot of attention paid to the euro zone, it's been bleak lately. but citigroup's latest prediction may be the worst yet. the claim comes from the chief economist that the collapse of your world could bring global depression with unemployment in some areas, including ours, rising above 20%. the so what can americans really expect if the euro goes under? joining me now to give us a pro view we hope we don't see,

mb client services, good to see you, mickey, thanks for joining us. >> my pleasure, thank you. >> what are the chance that is this really could happen? >> well, in his article, the economist himself said there's only a 5 to 10% chance that that would happen. his redix is certainly headline grabbing, but we have to remember that he is an economist for a very large bank, and certainly, the fear is the big banks fell in europe so i think he certainly has been seeing to keep that seed planted in our mind that we cannot let the big banks fail. >> what should we do about it? because they to do global business and if things happen there would it not affect us here? >> it will affect us, and certainly, more from the fear than the reality. and you know, i think there will be some headlines here, if the euro were to collapse, and certainly, there will be some impact from that, but i think it will be short-term. we have to remember that only 20 years ago, the euro didn't exist. and even when the soviet union collapsed, there was no

widespread harm than the asset crisis during that period. and certainly, in the 80's, we saw latin america go through quite a bit of sovereign difficulty and a few years later, came out just fine. >> mickey, you know a lot of people trade on fear, all he though this week, the dow saw some gains. so what's really going on here? >> well, it's-- i don't think that we really understand europe and i don't think they understand us. and that's, that's the reason for that fear between the two. but if the euro were to collapse, that would allow the sovereign governments to go out and get back to their own currency and fix their own problems. you know, if greece wants to run a socialist nation they should be allowed to d so, but they should have to pay for it, rather than rely on germany to pay their bills. >> nicky, the bigger question about the troubles that china is experiencing and the impact that will have on us, since they hold so much of our debt? >> well, you know, really, our federal reserve, holds more of

our debt than the chinese do. but, you know, certainly, if the euro collapses and there will be some harm done, and these emerging nations, who export much, many more goods to europe than we do, he so, you'll see some decline in demand there. i do think that there's certainly the opportunity that it would actually be something that would benefit us in the longer term and hopefully bring more manufacturing back to the u.s. and also, we see a decline in currency prices because the dollar would strengthen so much. >> i've heard that it could present a real manufacturing opportunity that we should not miss and keep an eye on it as well. >> we do have to remember that the euro was created to compete with the u.s. dollar as a reserve currency, and it was a way that the europeans could give money to airbus, in order to compete with goge, so, getting rid of the competing currency could actually boost our

manufacturing here. >> that's a fascinating way to look at it, mickey, nice to meet you, thanks for being with us today. >> my pleasure, thank you. >> kelly. >> well, when we talk about diabetes, that's coming up. it can be devastating as you know, even deadly. now, there's new hope for those suffering from it. we'll explain next. but my nose is still runny.

>> want you to know that each year diabetes kills about 4 million people worldwide. but, now, two promising reports. one involving work to develop and build an artifical pan crease and another suggesting that cutting calories could help beat type two diabetes in just four months. wow, and here is mr. david ahmady, robotics at mount sinai hospital and a member of the fox news medical a-team. it's fascinating and we have been discussing this, following diabetes and now we're learning that a reduced coloric diet could actually help someone alleviate diabetes and wipe it out. how does it happen? >> it's a great hope and news for patients with diabetes and i'm glad you mentioned type two diabetes.

type two diabetes is mostly died related and basically disease of developing countries and taking too many calories and the ladies have shown even though there are small numbers, one in netherlands and one in-- and cut down calories, to almost 500 calories a day, almost starving yourself. within a week, sugar around normal and heart and heart disease, and by reducing the calories, you can reduce the it weight, but reverse the chronic disease. what's interesting about this, kelly in the first phase, they lose a lot of fluid, fluid not fat loss and one of the reasons why people say, well, i lost 20 pounds and two months later i gained them back. that's the fluid shift not the fat. fat is the source of energy and once you get to exercise, the behavioral changes and you're not putting the food back in, now, you're going to start losing the fat which is

also related to diabetes and heart disease, et cetera. >> let's come back to that in a moment. you have some concerns about that as a doctor. let's talk about the other component, which is an artifical pan crease, how does that help? is that type one diabetes? >> this is the type one diabetes. the kind of patients that are not producing any insulin, different than type two and the great news is that now, with this artificial new technology pancreas, and i never thought, in my career it say this, but this is a pump that you actually wear. it's an insulin pump with a shot in the blood that can sense and maintain your sugar level. so, if it's low, it's going to start. if it's too high, kick in the right amount. it's perfect for the older population where you always have to monitor and you can either overshoot or the not give enough. he so i think we're making a huge progress in this field. by the way, diabetes, as you

mentioned, it's a deadly disease. it comes with a family and sister is high blood pressure and brother is heart disease. by controlling this you really can wipe out not only financial burden on the system, but-- >> the kind of friends you don't want to social with. get back to one point that's reduced calsy intake. you have concerns about that, calorie. because it could cause fatalities. >> absolutely. i don't want you to go out and start starving yourself on 500 calories a day, and you have to be on under the supervision ever your physician, this is case by case, and then, it can be helpful, but if you're not going to get enough nutrition, that could be deadly, could be dangerous and you only want to take this on the supervision of your doctor, that's very important, but it obviously works, by getting some weight off you're going to add the exercise and life style changes and altogether, that's a great help for a lot of people, 90% of diabetes is

type ii diabetes and it's a serious problem and can hopefully, this will help. >> kelly: so you're recommending it, but with caution. >> with caution. >> kelly:. one frt major side effects besides nausea and everything else, they have to worry about forming gall stones, in the studies and need to be aware of. >> kelly: so glad you're bringing this to us. >> jamie: everybody is going to clean up their acts, from the segment. see you tomorrow morning with dr. siegel in the 10 a.m. hour, i'm jamie colby, good to see you. >> kelly: and i'm kelly wright. >> jamie: have a great day everybody. hey, the new guy is loaded with protein! really? 25 grams of protein. what do we have? all four of us, together? 24. he's low fat, too, and has 5 grams of sugars. i'll believe it when i--- [ both ] oooooh... what's shakin'? [ female announcer ] as you get older, protein is an important part
