3:09 am
hours ago these are controlled explosions being carried out by special forces bomb disposal experts they've been working round the clock to make sure that any ordinance that was damaged by fire can be safely put out of harm's way so that it can't be a contest in eight itself sets off another way in the future now. i say it's about a kilometer as the crow flies just behind me in the tree line where this facility is around five hundred meters and behind me is a nearby village another village was evacuated and we've been hearing some horrific tales from the villages about the evening when when this fire took place now we are hearing from the emergencies ministry that these controlled explosions that i talked about will start to peter out throughout the day as they finishing their job and their villages will actually be allowed to return to their homes they are our ready gathering nearby here on the edge of the security perimeter because they're obviously very very keen to get back to their homes and check on their property.

economy had never been in better shape they didn't see this crisis coming right never understood the problems of the u.s. economy and they still don't understand them they think that government stimulus made the problems better it did it allowed the problems to get worse. and our very own your president has once again hit the streets this time by asking if it's worth paying for an education when there are no jobs. with today's tough job market if they're worth spending hundreds of thousands of dollars for college education this week let's talk about that how much does college cost in poland and college for free. any this day it costs hundreds of thousands of dollars so from gravity is a problem. i get to khan and young people from all over the world are bought off on it and it needs to stop now i'm not going to say that the government
3:22 am
needs to pay for it but i think young people need to wake up and look around them and say you know it's not an accident that bill gates was so self taught maybe if kids took two or three years before they went to school and had little life experience and then had some purpose to their study might make more sense. what is the we went hundreds of thousands of dollars even at that point i don't think so i live on one year of accounting i took undergraduate. millions of dollars on that one cause which i only paid two hundred dollars for i own a business i hire the best people i can get if you're not if you have a college if you don't have a college education don't even come to my office and apply to what you where did you go to college i went to college in texas and you use what you learned every day absolutely do you think it depends on what field theory and possibly but let me tell you this without an education you just have a whole lot tougher time in life but we're also told that we all have to go otherwise we won't succeed. faster than straight. men are
