to our values president obama admits the cia across the live what interrogating suspects is on this look forward to the release of classified data on the disturbing techniques. coming up next breaking the set looks into why gaza is most recent cease fire has failed to hold. what's really good folks know rob lowe filling in for abby martin and this is breaking the set so yesterday we reported on this show that hamas and israel had reached a seventy two hour cease fire agreement three weeks after the start of israel's operation protective edge against the gaza strip and the campaign has now resulted in the deaths of over fourteen hundred palestinians including three hundred children according to gaza health ministry well israel has lost three civilians and over sixty soldiers according to the i.d.f. well sadly less than two hours into the new a cease fire and israeli shelling in

the southern gaza city of haifa killed over sixty two palestinians and injured another two hundred according to international middle east media center however the i.d.f. claims that hamas broke the cease fire first by using the under underground tunnel system to kill at least two i.d.f. soldiers and capture another so far hamas has denied that has that has taken the soldier and questions the timeline of the events these newest allegations are deeply disturbing because the capture of an israeli soldier most likely puts an end to even the slimmest hope that a lasting cease fire can be established and greatly increases the chances that israel will intensify its brutal campaign against the gazan people of course the rhetoric coming from some fringe elements of the israeli media couldn't be doing more to inflame tensions consider that today the times of israel published this op ed entitled when jennifer when genocide is permissible and which the actual genocide of gazans is explored as the only way to bring israel peace now the

article was pulled down but not before archived versions of merge across the internet so for now we can only hope that calmer heads will prevail and that diplomacy will prevent the further slaughter of innocent civilians now let's break the cycle. they are very hard to take a. look. at how exactly would that hurt their look.

this week not only more it's the anniversary of the creation of nasa but also the fiftieth anniversary of the ranger seven mission the first close up photographs of the moon taken from a spacecraft only a few years after the ranger missions now this is apollo eleven carried the first ever human beings to the moon the crowning achievement for humanity today however fifty six years since the establishment of the american space agency the first space walks a lunar landing the cold war race to the moon are little more than a distant memory and their place is a view of nasa as a government agency like any other subject to budget cuts layoffs and congressional scrutiny and what cuts to funding for the agency continue to threaten its future projects are moving forward that do more than just reach for new worlds in fact many of the greatest discoveries in modern science today may not have even been possible without the commissioned research of nasa scientists unfortunately there are too many misconceptions about the agency that are holding back potential

discoveries that could further propel humanity starting with the notion that nasa experiments are only relevant to space exploration this of course couldn't be farther couldn't be more wrong for example the technology to. image processing on the hubble telescope is the same found in modern mammograms which revolutionized early detection of breast cancer deployable radio antenna created by nasa are used today during natural disasters serving as emergency warning systems for everything from hurricanes to earthquakes and tsunamis more powerful batteries and renewable energy like sophisticated solar cells are all contributions space research is made not only medical science but practically every aspect of our daily lives yet we continue to hear that nasa is just too expensive to keep funding it's a critique parroted by those who forget that nasa also creates thousands of jobs all across the country and tens of thousands of other workers are employed by private contractors who deliver products and services to the agency seventeen

facilities across the u.s. but the cuts just keep coming and just last week an audit found that nasa budget will likely push back the planned launch date for the agency's deep species deep space rocket to after twenty seventeen but while america begins to lose its standing in the world as a leader in space exploration other countries are stepping up their efforts the washington post adds that more than fifty nations currently design deploy own or operate satellites without u.s. involvement and since the end of the space shuttle program the u.s. is now relying on russia and china's space programs to hitch rides into orbit but this perhaps highlights the only encouraging aspect about space exploration today the fact that so far science supersedes politics and it's a point in a raid by retired u.s. astronaut leroy chiao who joined us on breaking the said earlier this year to discuss how the ongoing diplomatic rift between russia and the u.s. hasn't broken the strong scientific relationship that exists in outer space the

cooperation started back in the mid ninety's as you know and it's been beneficial to everyone all of the partners and aboard the space station the space station was designed to be operated with cooperation in mind. as you know there's u.s. and russia are the two major partners there is a big solid core of it in fact the heart of the station are built up by russian modules of course they were designed to work with the american modules the americans are control most of the power just about all the power that's generated so it takes the coordination of the ground team and the astronauts and cosmonauts on board in order to operate that station so no single side if you will could sustainably operate the station without cooperation from the other side both on the ground and up in space so while terrestrial conflicts between these two nations has led to the worst u.s. russian relations since the cold war at the very least space experts understand the importance of scientific diplomacy when it comes to the benefits that are universal

to the human race. i over the past few weeks an outbreak of the ebola virus has taken hold of western africa the symptoms of ebola include everything from intense weakness to muscle pain to impaired kidney function and even internal and external bleeding and unfortunately no approved vaccine is currently available to stop the onset of the virus it was started as just a few cases back in march has now spread to the countries of guinea sera leone liberia and the jury of infecting at least one thousand three hundred twenty three people and killing at least seven hundred and twenty nine others and another disturbing development officials recently confirmed that two americans working for a relief organization in liberia contracted the disease and are currently in quarantine according to the humanitarian organization samaritan's purse the two

patients will be transported to the u.s. early next week for full treatment and evaluation raising concerns of accidental exposure to the virus on american soil so to talk about this unprecedented outbreak as well as the cases of these two americans i'm joined now by our to correspondent manilla chen manila hi how are you thanks for having me yeah thanks for coming on i wanted to start by see if you could break down a little bit of the history of this virus and why this current outbreak is so unprecedented well let's start with the history obviously the first documented case of ebola was back in one thousand and one thousand nine hundred seventy six. it was believed to have been started in fruit bats but that's still completely unconfirmed there are people saying that it started out with other animals but the first human documented case was in one nine hundred seventy six now fast forward to today it's so on president it because before they seem to have been able to contain

the issue. you know maybe one hundred two hundred people but at this point i mean it is in outbreak status you know where we're looking at over thirteen hundred people currently confirmed to be infected and hundreds if not thousands more potential cases and nearly seven hundred dead at this point so this outbreak seems to be a lot more ferocious and just just for rationing just eating people up from the inside out that's essentially what's happening all over west africa and i also understand that there's a lot of there's emergency evacuations going on right now and it's extra hard if you will to treat these cases because of some of the local customs i was hoping that you could expand on that since you've been talking to a lot of representatives of these organizations that are treating people that are on the ground yes that's true. the problem that we're having as far as me talking to the c.d.c. or talking to people from who world health organization what they're saying is that

the spread of ebola seems to be a little more rampant right now because a lot of people have suspicious they're suspicious of the west essentially. there's even cases where people think that westerners brought the bola to west africa of course that's not the case but that is what a lot of the villagers actually think and because we are talking about a poorer more third world nation. those types of regions tend to be a little more superstitious as you can probably imagine so with that superstition you know they're it prevents education from coming in which is i think primarily the problem there the superstition is preventing people from even mentioning the word a bowl of the base they believe that if you even bring up the word that it brings the disease which we know that's not how diseases right and then you know i had

been discussing earlier as well before this segment. about some of the other customs including you know in west africa some of the more rural villages they'll dig shallow graves that adds to the problem in some cases they'll even bury the dead within their own within their own homes they keep they keep because of the tribal customs they keep the dead near and dear apparently it's on your property sometimes like literally right outside of your house or are right outside your hut in many cases and they're shallow graves and here's the problem with that is that ebola can exist in a dead host it can exist on on this table top anything i said it's so easy to contract this this disease this virus is what's most troubling i wanted to ask you about these two americans that have been affected now what precautions are being taken i understand that they're going to be brought back to emory university in atlanta close to the c.d.c. what precautions are being taken to make sure that this doesn't spread. you know here in the past so what what the c.d.c.

is doing is they're deploying the use of these plastic tents i mean i think a lot of people probably think of it as like a kind of a bubble boy kind of scenario where the two victims are going to be transported in these cargo jets in these plastic tents now they're not completely airtight because obviously you know they need they need to breathe and people need to go in and out to check on the victims during this long flight from west africa to atlanta. but the precautions that are taking they're taking or are basically just just wrapping yourself head to toe the same thing that dr brantley you know one of the victims that is suffering from this disease he was covered head to toe and somehow he managed to contract the disease so it just goes to show how pervasive this particular strain of the ball is and people are being evacuated left and right so they're kind of running out of hope and help and west africa. and we don't have much more time but one thing that i did want to make sure that we've got to do with this segment we're talking

a little bit about awareness. is kind of provide an opportunity for people to to help the united states we're hearing about all these deaths in west africa are there phone numbers or web sites that you can that people that are watching this right now may be able to to go to and provide some assistance either money or or volunteer work or if you're really glad you brought that up because the even though the peace corps is being evacuated right now they that's just more reason that we need to help them in any way that we can for example samaritans purse which is dr brantley one of the victims that's suffering from this you can check out some merit since purse dot org or you can go to tear dot org dot a you there i'm doing they're going with the education route distributing thousands of posters about how this virus works to the villagers and they're at their even doing radio campaigns so people can become educated right samaritan's purse is doing great work they've been there in west africa for the last decade or so i really want to thank you for coming on helping us break this down manila chan or to correspondent thank you so much thank you. are you guys coming up will feature

a performance by an israeli and palestinian youth group stay tune. technology innovation. developments around. the future of coverage.

all. right. with no end in sight to the violence in gaza and israel it can be difficult to

remember that amidst the political crisis it's civilians that are caught in the crossfire and many observing the conflict from the outside these two ethnicities arabs and jews are inherently at odds and will never see eye to eye on anything but as the next performance proves cooperation and understanding between these two sides is possible the band is called heartbeat a collective musical group that consists of over one hundred israeli and palestinian youths from all around the world and a few months ago they came on the show to show how possible it is to bridge the divide through the universal language of music here they are performing the song. which means when the impossible becomes possible. the.

sale of live. t.v. to the country with the because of the focus of. the business of the. family . living. with.

the slim . the sunnis. this was. similar to those it even. caught on. the field but. just the muscle

on the shoulder so he did. something to block or close close enough. money. to cause. the move. because the.

harpy is not just the name of the group this is actually the name of an organization an advocacy organization that you guys are all integrated in talk about what heartbeat is so that's truly hard to do community of. musicians of youth musicians the group that we have here are just we're just representatives of also of our own group which is larger than a few of us who weren't able to come this time and have a large organization that includes other ensembles usually teenage ensembles that's really the core of our work we bring together ensembles right now we have three operating ensembles in three cities. in jerusalem and yes up and they each meet and create their own music write their own music that's beautiful tamar it's a strange mix for people who know how divisive this issue is obviously palestinians israelis working together providing something as beautiful as a musical message how did this unique partnership come to be. started with our founder two thousand two thousand and seven and. he got

a. fulbright scholarship and t.v. kind of scholarship to start the program in palestine and israel to bring together young musicians to work together and to really amplify their voices that's what that's what we're trying to do amplify. trying to get them together to understand that we're all humans after all and we all want the same thing we all want freedom we all want quality so that's why we started. but. let's talk about. a really great song you performed when the impossible becomes possible what is this song all about you guys so it started from an arabic saying actually. which means it's like it means tomorrow with the apricots but it means it's like when pigs fly it's something that will never happen just because you know and then they changed it a little bit we say because of family. and they. changed it just a little bit you can barely catch it with your hair but. to say impossible is

happening and what is that what is that possibility that is being achieved that possibility is togetherness and unity we come from the reality of segregation where our two communities are very much separated and the idea that a group of people can come together and become so close and create something together is really very unusual and to some people would sound even. impossible or just ridiculous or whatever so we have this message of hey we're doing it it isn't crazy it's part of reality and we can choose if we want to make it the bigger reality amazing and how what kind of feedback have you been getting tamar from from touring and displaying its message to communities all over the world here and. amazing feedback. we love our audiences we've been getting a lot of support you know we love the people the people seem to love us. i don't know amazing feedback i mean. back home maybe it's

a little different some people some people like what we're doing and some people don't some people think that we should not be talking to each other that we are enemies in the blood and we should not be trying to talk to one another. but i think that's wrong i think we should we should we need to be talking to each other and i think in order to achieve equality in order to achieve freedom we need to want to make each other understand all the same and what better way to have the universal language of music to do the story and show really that we are all want to hear in a family you know you guys clearly get along what is going to take for this region of the world i mean how can we how can we get there tamar and i want your input on this is well sort of you. oh my god that's a big picture so much needs to be done. i mean. back home it's very segregated you know that you have that era palestinians living in specific neighborhoods. specific tiny villages and the same with the jews the

jewish israelis where we could start getting together through school through media through what we're trying to do trying to get people together and that's that's what that's what we need to do and understand human to human level what do you think just i think everything starts from that from that if the minute we get people together we get people to stop seeing themselves as separate stop thinking of. these two communities as sides and to understand that we have mutual interests we all want to live in peace and freedom to have opportunity to live in dignity and safety that's something that everybody has in common we don't need to see each other as enemy. you know i don't need to see palestinians freedom as a threat to mine and i think people will understand that if they first get to know each other get to see each other as people it's when you start it's very easy you just have to have the space to do that to get together to be exposed to personal

stories it's really easy to reinforce those preestablished narratives or biases about what you think about people until you're forced to confront them and really it can be transformative also wanted to add one more thing too to what kelly said we want international their national people to help us also. as a friend of mine said once you get what you paid for and forty forty billion dollars go to go to military assistance back home and only ten million dollars go to programs like what we do through the u.s. so forty billion dollars vs ten million dollars you really get what you paid for and we need international assistance we need people to help us do what we want to do and we're here absolutely absolutely you guys thank you so much for tamar you guys heart beat everyone check it out thank you so much for coming.
