responsible. >> geoff, about 45 seconds left. you got out of prison. you sued pretty much everybody that you could for your wrongful incarceration. the courts awarded you enough money to live out your life very comfortably. yet you chose to open a foundation and almost remain in the hell from which you escaped. why did you do that? >> i can't forget about the men and women who i metaphorically left behind. most organizations in the field will only take on dna cases where it's only available for 5 to 12% of all serious felon cases. my foundation handles dna and non-dna cases. >> you are helping people who you feel are in the but don't have the dna to prove it. >> exactly but we will use dna in order to prove innocence. >> thanks to our guests for this segment. joe berlinger. sometimes bystanders are at the right place at the right time, providing vital accounts for law enforcement to identify perpetrators, but could some eyewitness information be too subjective to trust? >> low haircut, dark complected, middle age. how many are you describing when you d

geoff and i are together over 13 years. we have a home. if god forbid something happened to us -- and we have met couples whos lives have been destroyed because of the rights that are prohibited them after one of them is in the hospital passes away. and i think when you relay those stories, when you talk about the human stories of people struggling against this barrier to equality that it really does allow people to say, okay. we live in a country where we could be neighbors. a fence between our homes is the constitution. we don't ever have to agree if your rights of marriage are something that are sack rimonous to you and that you really want to hold on to and believe it is your definition, that's fine. >> that's absolutely acceptable to us. but on the other side of it, this fence, is the constitution that says that we all should be treated equally, that the 14th amendment protection all merges. so disagreeing with it is perfectly acceptable. but what we believe is you can't enact law based on some moral or religious bias against someone

cnbc's geoff cutmore is live in london for us.eoff, we see above that psychological 17,000 mark, what do you expect to start the week? >> yeah, it's going to be tough, i think, to hang on to this this monday morning. we already have european markets trading a little weak. i think everybody's still trying to digest those jobs numbers at the end of last week and trying to work out what that means for interest rates in the u.s. if the fed is going to move rates up earlier than previously anticipated, well, maybe that could have an impact on the bullishness we've seen in these equity markets, but it has been remarkable, the resilience. so, you never know. we might get another push higher towards the end of the trading session. i wanted to move on. we've got another bid on the table. expedia here has stepped up. they are going to pay just under $700 million for a company called what if, which is a booking operation in the australia region. it's an interesting purchase for them, gives them greater access to that part of the world, but y

geoff koons never fails to generate strong reactions?i think the best modern and con temporary artists challenge us, don't just provide decoration for our lives. they ask new questions for their work. sometimes they make us feel uncom40al. >> the age of 59 tkoons says he is planning to produce work like this, challenging, playful, popular, provacative for another 30 years at least. daniel lak, al jazeera, new york. >> dozens of baby sea turtles have hatched and are on the move in the florida keys. a high-def cam captured them. loggerhead sea turtles are among five species threated or endangered. they are cute. >> the next head of the smi smithsonian will break down whether college is worth the riding cost and discuss how innovation fuels the country. check out our website, aljazeera.com. . >> it has become too expensive. the price tag is so scary to look at. >> cornell university's president says higher education is worths the cost though schools need to be run more efficiently. david skorton weighs in as well on skills training versus t

i won't repeat it. >> no, i disagree with geoff. i think the facts we've seen on the ground, the statements from the u.n., the photographs we've seen are indicative of a unit, of a command that is not overly concerned with distinction, and i think the israelis have the ability to be much more discerning in their targeting and they are not, in my opinion. >> woodruff: why do you think they have the ability to be more discerning? >> because their weaponry is nor sophisticated and advanced. they have drones and helicopters in the air. they know where they are firing their weapons and artillery is not a pinpoint system but it has the ability to hone in on specific targets, which ability is not being exercised fully. >> woodruff: col. corn, what about that? >> well, first off, i think if the facts play out and establish that, there needs to be an investigation of individuals who violate these rules and they should be held accountable by israelis themselves. but i would note this is the most difficult type of combat any military can engag

so, i called peter, and i said, you know, i think i have the idea that we should pitch to geoff. and i said what do you think about a spin on the sound of music only jullich andrews, i come to the door. things. he said that's it. >> that's the show. we are going to develop and pitch. nanny". >> your career is more than one role. you are on broadway right now playing the wicked stepmother. why that role? >> you know, this is the first character that i have ever played that really is kind of a mean character. i mean it was like the hooker with the heart of gold. >> i was really worried for steven during rehearsal. things. it's so awful. everybody is going to hate me. but slowly but surely through the rehearsal process, i reinvented the character. i made her game russ and very self absorbed and fun to watch and someone you loved to hate. she comes around in the end. and softens a bit. >> not the same through the whole show. she grows. i was so thrilled to be offered, you know, in a rogers and ham style musical. i am not really a singer. this role happens to be the biggest speaking p

. >> geoff lewis, founders fund partner, thank you for joining us today on "bloomberg west."s the last day for the public to provide initial comments on the fcc proposed net neutrality rules. that's next on "bloomberg west." ♪ >> welcome back to "bloomberg west." the fcc extended the deadline for public comments on the open internet proposal after receiving half a million comments over the last two months. the surge of comments were received expressing public opinion on how the internet should be regulated. cory johnson is back with more. you have been following this one very closely. a lot of people out there have strong opinions about it. when will we see the end? >> who knows. one of the big issues and the biggest debate all of closely is the basic notion of what is an open internet? what is net neutrality? let me give you a basic look at what net neutrality really is. al gore did not invent the internet, but he did invent the phrase information superhighway. what better metaphor to explain the idea of the controversial notion of net neutrality? let's use the superhighway

. >> geoff and annette are in frankfurt. guys, once the dust settled on the meeting, there were still a lot of questions being asked in the market. the first one, people are unsure how long the rates could stay on hold. it could be until 2018 given the fixed rates. and also unsure of direct policy to boost lending. can you give us some clarity today on both those points? >> well, i think at this meeting mr. draghi is not going to give us any new policy announcements, but maybe he will attempt to encourage the market to think in even longer terms about the duration of very easy money. so rates lower for longer. and those have been the noises that we've had sort of unofficially from the ecb over the last month or so. we have a framework for the teltros. they won't really kick in until september. so that additional liquidity won't come until september. on the rates story, are you hearing anything different? >> no, not at all. i think there was a growing sense of frustration after the last meeting that the market actually didn't

would say, montel, i'm giving you the power to take over the va, i'm sure you would say, you have to geoffrt branch to do what i want. now a little bit about him. he does know how to distract things out -- extract things out of his people. >> if the president would give me that today we could start fixing the problem. i've been talking to you about something for four years now. four and a half years ago i started in a double blind study at the university of wisconsin with a medical device i cold you four years ago that was helping me with m.s., and is a continued to use this, i ran all over the place trying to see if i could get support. i signed a cradle with the federal government, collaborative research develop company, and i took this company public, and i'm going to work really hard to get technology into the hand of soldiers hopefully that will help them the way it's helped me. >> good for you. >> this is something i beat the bushes and beat the bushes and beat the bushes and got it done. mr. mcdonald can do the same thing. >> it's do-able. by the way, montel, i try not to with monte

john mccain and geoff southlake. the biggest thing it would do is and the 2008 child trafficking law. >> ended the rapid deportation of children from countries other than mexico and canada. it would also expedite the returns of people back to their home countries much faster so the process takes only hours rather than days. and it would mandate the tension of immigrants who crossed illegally until they go before the courts. and if they can't be detained and they get something like an ankle monitor to make sure they actually do show up in court. it also calls for more immigration judges, who the obama administration wants as well and has aphon affairs component because it says we should tie the funding on how well they can secure their borders. now, the obama administration says we don't need to roll back that 2008 trafficking law, and we heard senator lindsay gram push back on that today. >> if we don't change the 2008 law, then we are never going to get a handle on this problem because the 2008 law had nothing to do

. >>> reporter: 40-year-old leon geoff just went from l.a.x.spain for his european vacation but he isn't looking forward to increasing security on the way back. >> it's frustrating. there has to be a better way. >> reporter: the federal government is taking additional precautions on nonstop international flights heading to the u.s. mostly from europe and the middle east. officials say the new measures stem from evolving concerns about a growing number of westerners traveling to syria and iraq to fight. intelligence officials say westerners who are sometimes less scrutinized when traveling could be recruited by terrorist groups overseas. then use their own passports to smuggle hidden explosives on to planes. homeland security secretary jay johnson did not get specific about what measures travelers would face. but he said in a statement, aviation security includes a number of measures both seen and unseen. some travelers here in the states say they are okay with whatever the measures might be even if it means more delays. >> security is going to
