spector's recently turned up sixteen of them despite iraq's recent declaration.denying their existence and they tried to use the fact that inspectors found sixteen of these as evidence that. thousands more existed and again i mean it's as a methodology it's a very weak way to predict anything and i think it borders on propaganda to argue that there are small number that have been found by inspectors in private in this case of twenty nine thousand exist so don the same is not accounted for the remaining twenty nine thousand nine hundred eighty four of these prohibited munitions and this way bush administration officials either routinely sad or try to give the impression that if iraq had not fully accounted for all of a certain item and gotten related to chemical or biological weapons then it must be there and it's not at all what the inspectors sad or found saddam hussein had material sufficient to produce more than thirty eight thousand liters. botulinum toxin. and that's a subject millions of people to death i respiratory failure. again accounted for immature bu

with international economic and political pressure is only fueling fears for global security leonard spector from the center for nonproliferation studies says the weapons seen by president asad as a symbol of legitimacy have to be eliminated. but with assad still in control of the country and his forces still intact with very few defections although we are seeing some defections the items are safe although still in the hands of a very vicious dictator so for the moment i don't think we're seeing any loss of control but as this situation unfolds and as we may have the violence of the kind that we've seen in libya and different factions become alarmed and perhaps take on the regime then the chance for chaos and for the loss of control of the group grows extensionally what we have to imagine is perhaps a change of government that is that done peacefully under international pressure that assad steps aside when he observes the magnitude of the. demonstrations and the pressure that he's now receiving in terms of sanctions and other means and in that environment and then we can get an international

mid atlantic ridge in order to find out whether indeed this is spector's gold and copper or are just backs contained there and if the research proves to be successful if they do find a war in the mid atlantic ridge that means russia gets the priority in the development of that field but this has never been done before no country has ever applied for the development of the seabed interest in international waters until last year china has decided that they wanted to ask for permission to research for any potential valuable materials in the in these seabed off the indian ocean so this of course brought forth many opportunities for other countries who are interested in develop development of such resources particularly for russia there's the the arctic the arctic sea russia is very interested in possible developments all of the oil and gas resource there in fact russia has for quite some time has been trying to prove that the alone also bridge in the arctic sea is in fact a continuation of russia's continental shelf and if they do prove that that in fact is the case of other countries ag

this now let's cross live to deputy director of the center for nonproliferation studies are leonard spector live in washington thank you for joining us today to tell us about how well the instability in syria affecting the security of these weapons do you think. well my sense is that at the moment with assad still in control of the country and his forces still intact with very few defections although we are seeing some defections the items are safe although still in the hands of a very vicious dictator so for the moment i don't think we're seeing any loss of control but as this situation unfolds and as we may have the violence of the kind that we've seen in libya and different factions become armed and perhaps take on the regime then the chance for chaos and for the loss of control i think will grow substantially so these dangerous weapons could ultimately if the west over the us get into the wrong hands but what can be done to protect these weapons in a time of such chaos internal chaos and well i think what we have to imagine is perhaps a change of government that is done peacefully under

and don spector says 50,000 inmates are within six months of their release date and early release can immediately mean a reduction. >> these prisoners were going get out anyway. it's been proven that this advancement by weeks or months won't have any adverse affect on public safety. >> the administration's court filing said realignment will get them to 32,000, not 34,000 as the court asked. and constructions department is recalculating numbers and believes early release won't be necessary. >> i'm confident we're going to avoid a prison release. we're doing this safely without freeing inmates. >> if the courts don't order releases yikts swailt happen anyway and they don't have room for the local jailz to let some of the inmates go. >> and president obama proposing a new jobs program to help veterans returning from war in afghanistan and iraq. the plan includes tax breaks of up to $4,000 to the company to hire unemployed veterans, hiring a disabled vet vet can increase that to 9600s skpdz there is a reverse boot camp to transition back to civilian life. and some who held top posts now f

when they say end social security and medicare to most people that raises the spector of going too far>> we have serious perhaps. wall street journal? >> they say it was going to end medicare as we know it. i i don't know. i think it changes medicare and the way it is funded. the house republican budget argues that it is meant to preserve medicare and changing the mechanism that make its solvent. nancy pelosi has no plan. our plan is medicare. there is no argument there. it is possible that republicans will run to structural reforms to medicare to preserve medicare. if you want to look at the race to unfold. it is no question large part a revverundum on jobs. but given the financial situation and the enormitty of the problems right now. it is going to be in some respects a debate about our long-term fiscaluation and there are some republicans that think that incorporating the debate about entitlement reform is a positive. >> the country faces big challenges and we need to reach a consensus on reforming entitlements and growing the economy . both sides come together. but the dynamics of

>> guest: by pursuing the idea if he could raise the spector if not the reality of a war with a commonnemy, and no greater enemy than britain. >> host: started with spain? the first proposal was spain, and that was a non-starter so he talked in a matter about britain. >> guest: that's right. of course, all it did was annoy the british and convince him his previous statements about canada, north america, the united states, were true and so he turned britain, which had been considering allying itself with the north into an armed neutral and annoyed public. ambiguity and nuance is the enemy of journalism. it doesn't work. they understood the north is fighting for territory, the south was fighting for freedom. >> host: they saw this not as a slavery question in the beginning, but local self-determination sormt of like the greek war of independence against the ottoman empire? >> guest: that's right or italy which was in mid flow and international heros. it didn't take that much for southern propaganda to press the point and look at the north. of course, it's true until the emancipation proc

worst of both worlds, not only no job creation but we didn't extend unemployment insurance, raise the spector of the contraction next year and wasn't any serious long-term deficit reduction. a promise to have a committee that would report later. it seems if we were going to point that particular gun at our heads and take that risk to get that deal didn't seem like we got a lot for it. >> i think the biggest benefit it avoided a worse crisis which would have occurred in early august. and it also did while you're right it doesn't include additional job creation measures, at least it avoided a very substantial contraction up front. it pushed off most of its au stensble deficit reduction until 2013 and thereafter which is beneficial and the new trigger is an interesting innovation. i think it's sort of a mixed bag. >> and part of what all this implies is the last couple years we've been overshooting the pessimistic case, too optimistic. s is there a case for optimism as we become more pessimistic? if you're going to tell a story about how things get better more quickly than some of us are assumin

that 2007 spector, the massacre that happened on campus, would influence every decision made from here on out about security. >> sure. exactly. i'm just, we're just kind of on lockdown, everything is pretty calm. there are, you know, cop cars around but honestly, nothing has changed since the beginning. we're all staying pretty calm here. >> where are you locked down right now? are you in the offices of the newspaper? >> no. i'm where our gym is located on campus. >> all right. explain about these kids, the summer camps that are on campus and what the campus is being used for before the students attending virginia tech come back. >> sure. there's lots of different programs going on on campus i'm not sure which program this is specifically for. our spokesperson for virginia tech said it was some sort of leadership camp, maybe. i have no idea. i know exactly what you all know. i don't know anything new. but we are just kind of staying put and waiting until he can find anything, anything new going on. but everyone in my building is safe. we're just waiting. >> the campus-wide alert issued

. >> the spector of being an abuser didn't bother him, the only issues were excessive drinking and a little grabbing. the show was pushing him out the door because they continue have him controlling the content and the controversy gave ratings. megyn: they say the armstrong's were far less wealthy than the viewers knew. they were made out to have a lot of money as you watched the show. was that not a reality? were they acting a part? >> the reality in the show was unfortunately a fix in the real world, because they were not anywhere close to what was portrayed them in the show, they were basically making their payments barely in a deficit mostly every month. russell was trying his best to keep this persona going but it just wasn't going to happen. megyn: i know they both were being sued in a business context as well. one of their friends said that bravo told them if they weren't going to have drama in the second season that they would be cut that couple and replaced with somebody else because they had been deemed the disaster couple. had you heard that? >> well, there was -- there is

. >> phil spector, yeah. >> and al takes his fathering very seriously. >> he's very devoted, he's gote was interested in what kate had on. >> princess anne's daughter, zara phillips. and everyone wanted to know what kate wore. the bride wore white and kate wore a recycled outfit. >> they're calling her the royal recycler. >> good for her. >> i think it's an excellent message. >> she pulled out a dress she last wore to a wedding in 2006. so she's got a very organized closet. >> wait, i want to know who -- >> she wore this outfit three times. >> she's in green there. >> that was at a yacht party the night before and she wore that green outfit in l.a. >> can i ask a question? who says you can't rewear clothes? i don't understand why that is. >> most people have to. >> but i think that's why she's making such a statement. because, yeah, who says. >> and you wear a dress once and don't ever wear it again? >> exactly. >> she's saying i am not the royal clothes horse and i am not a fashion model. and i feel for people because times are hard. >> times are hard. >> first of all, even if she do

scholars who are loyal to the president and said it's okay to bow down to the president, and it's a wide spector of people who have been with the regime. >> coming to you next -- is it possible assad will leave syria? >> no. certain from someone who came from hama part of a movement there and the widespread feeling among the people that runs the country is not bashar and not even just the family, but what they call a counsel made up of representatives of the major clan and ones who decide the fate of the country. >> what part of the regime should the entire assad family be blown up on a fishing boat? what comes next. there's panels and we have an opposition regime fighting the cause, but they are desperate, not organized, not coordinated, there's not a process we saw in libya and right to recognize the council and different question for another time, but there's a process that should the regime fall, and that is an argument to justify the preservation of the current syria regime, but that vacuum that follows is a very dangerous space, so what follows the regime? >> would you like to comment on t
