and that's exactly what the scientists at the state department stated. when you look at iraq coming back to your question, the five years of state department reports, they have said this over and over again -- that canada is more reliable as a provider in the middle east. >> given that the white house or the state department puts the review on hold for a while why the legal issues about the rapid nebraska are sorted out, from a tactical standpoint or from a logistical standpoint, are you still making the case to the white house and the state department? are they still reaching out to your government? or has everything gone completely on ice? guest: the only thing that has not stood still is the fact that are contained in the state department report written by scientists that said clearly that would come down on rail. so every month, there is a delay in the white house, there is an increase in oil by rail. and every month there is a delay in the white house, there is, by definition, an increase in ghd's because it's higher than pipelines on rail. every mo

- state-by-state basis? >> it was a national analysis we gave the state so much flexibility in can only be illustrated because it will be up to the individual states how to design their strategies to reduce the amounts. >> it was not done regionally? >> my understanding is there we can follow-up with specifics it looks at national impacts although over time will get more specific estates get more specific. >> my time is expired i may submit a question with regard to the cost of the two projects that mississippi has undertaken in to comply with recent federal regulations they will have to be completely shut down under your proposed rules. >> five be happy to look at that. >>. >> thank you administrator mccarthy for being here and your excellent work. carry on. with respect to my colleague's point the science is settled i am afraid to say i think he is wrong and it is not just me who thinks the science is settled but no one thinks it is settled and nasa thinks it is settled and they have rovers' driving around

states have laws that do that. this law would also in peril state laws providing for parental notification if your child needs an abortion, at a minimum before that series medical treatment, that a parent has the right to be notified. 38 states have that law and yet this bill in congress would imperil every one of those laws. and if i may, finally, if i may have another 30 seconds to just share some of the stories from women in texas. ..

the new trend is to shut down abortion services, but this time state by state.s is happening all across the country, individual states have signed into law restrictive regulation that single out abortion services. between 2011 and 2013, more than two dozen states passed over 200 restrictions to block access to abortion services. this translates to more restrictions placed on women's health care in three years than in the entire preceding decade. the effect of these laws is that a woman's constitutional right now depends on her address. the right of women residing in my home state of california now vastly differ from the rights of women living in texas or mississippi. according to the got macker institute, the just 6% of women, over half the women in her country now live in a state that is hostile to abortion. these laws range from mandatory waiting periods to the exact size requirements and quarter with for the offices and which the procedure is to take place. there are laws like the recent one in texas which make no sense medically. they require doctors perform

it had been abolished state by state in the immediate aftermath, and people assumed the next state will be delware and maryland and the like, but it didn't. it's been 55-60 years since the state abolished slavery, and the point of "to the scorpion's sting" was to restart the process, and so that is what i'm trying to do. i'm trying to say, you can't understand what goes on during the civil war unless you understand the project that abraham lincoln and the republicans came into the war, intending to do. what he meant when he said he wanted to put slavery on a course of ultimate extinction. >> what we do know is in the first months of the war lincoln is attempting the board of states to emancipate through state action, and even in the midst of war, that doesn't -- i know you say that five states do that, but kentucky, for instance, does not. delware does not. even though you have very few enslaved people in delware, and so how likely -- this is counterfactual but i'm going to ask it -- how likely would it have been that slavery would have been extinguished that way, given that these state

has stated? this can't be some rich person's gamble where you make a bad bet. this has a real impact on people. when, you know, we're asking coal miners, seniors on fixed incomes, families and children who suffer higher electric bills and the unemployed to make this expensive bet that you're putting forward and i have a lot of problems with doing that to people around the country because of some rich lobbyists and powerful lawyers in washington who are now reaching into the epa to write their regulations. you know, countries around the world are already abandoning fossil fuel, anti-fossil fuel policies because of need of affordable energy. we're seeing it in australia, their parliament just repealed their carbon tax. the "associated press" last week quotes the australian prime minister who said a useless destructive tax which damaged jobs, which hurt families, cost of living in which didn't actually help the environment. why aren't we following his lead? >> senator, climate in action is what thre

it was reinstated in the united states in 1977 and it's on the books in 32 states right now. 14 states have not executed anyone in five years. nationwide polling shows diminishing support for capital punishment as violent crime rates decline as well, six states have ended their use of the death penalty since 2006. >>> what goes on in the nation's active death chambers this time on "inside story." why so many recent executions like that of joseph wood? the april execution of clayton locket where it took 51 minutes to find a suitable vein or the ohio execution that say dennis mcguire writhing on the gurney with fists clenched? is lethal injection more humane and less risky than the hanging and firing squad. we begin with a reporter for tucson news now that witnessed the execution of joseph wood. welcome. what are your expectations going into the death chamber? did you prepare before going in? >> this was the first time i was sent to watch an execution. i wanted to prepare myself and wanted to see what it would be like. i talked to colleagues who had experienced executions themselves by l

we're going from california san francisco to the oovt of the united states the senator from the new york state he's a ranking member on the technology and i think has been a vigorous fighter for our justice cause (clapping.) okay before everyone as we have a group of technical stiff going i need everybody - ready. i need everybody to smile in the the first (laughter) hi. now we've got the self i didn't see out of the way. i have no idea how to use the power point i'm going to press the bottoms. all right. good evening >> good evening. so if you weren't here i'm from brooklyn i want to call a word >> he have to say in response good evening friends. >> good evening. >> i cail you guys friends even though i've met which of you for the first time today i feel like we share so much in common first those who are here deeply care about climate change and those who have the motivation to move forward in a road map we need to realize but second there was another great motivation speak by governor jerry brown give them a hand. it's speech was a call to action to the state legislators across the co

of states, in your experience, have you seen whether or not many states have acted to expand access to post adoption services following these reports of private rehoming? >> that's a great question. so we know that before the story came out approximately half of all states have reported to us that they do regularly offer post adoption services, not only to children adopted out of the foster care system but also those adopted through private adoptions or internationally. the challenge remains that there are very limited dollars available to states to use to support post adoption services. another way to think about post-adoption is really prevention. these are services designed to help parents struggling with their children whether adopted or biological. the reality is in our child welfare system, we do not invest as much in preventive services as we do after the crisis occurs. this is a real challenge across all states. >> i was going to get in a moment to some of your suggestions you may have already outlined. some of them bear repeating at a hearing like this. any cases that you'r

state. what they aim to do is erase the lines drawn across the middle east by the sykes-piko agreement, an agreement between britain and france that basically created the modern mideast from the ottoman empire. once those powers lost, the winners, britain and france, prepared to divide influence, divide the spoils from the forms otto man empire lands formed new kingdoms, iraq, libya, syria, and eventually israel. that last territory, from the iraqi turkish frontier down to the border with yemen is hardly known a day of peace. did the middle east created by britain and france already contagion russ amounts sources of conflict. or did those countries simply doom these states permanently welcome that's our focus this time on the program. joining us for a look on the new islamic state and the middest are eshan and former iraqi ambassador to the united nations, and derek harvey, director of the global initiative on civil society and conflict at the university of south florida. ambassador, let me

putin is a head of state. bodies of another sovereign nation lay in a field, many sovereign nations, mr. putin did absolutely nothing to avoid the dess secretary of transportation -- the desecration and insult and indignities given to those lost souls. i'm reminded of crashes over the years when countries or airlines were able to take the family members within days to the site for prayer or acknowledgement. giving them added comfort. so i think it is important to understand and i refer my colleagues to an article, yes, in the "wall street journal," why putin is taking major risk in ukraine. he is still living in the world of the soviet union, but it is imperative to know that we have something that we can offer besides request of peace, reconciliation, and international investigation unfettered. we have something that we can acknowledge. even the transportation secretary indicated that energy resources, natural gas, oil and gas, natural gas, l.n.g., are resources that we can utilize to substitute for the dess

the united states. when you take into account the people working for retail who and so forth,es it is about one quarter of the jobs in the united states. it is enormous. from a states standpoint, do i need to tell you the sales tax, it is about 250 ilion dollars? on average 30% of the revenue of each of the states. we are happy to provide $2.6 billion. the impact of retail goes beyond this. active members of the ,ommunities in which we operate beyond the jobs we provide, we contribute today's charitable causes, given the last 15 years. time,0 hours of volunteer employees per year throughout the states. we also have a recycling program. probably most of you know the citizens of your states can come to our stores and recycles our electronics. in the last four years, we will have recycles one billion pounds , helping the planet. a big impact in many ways. topics also a timely because of the rise of e-commerce. that is significantly transforming the retail industry throughout the u.s.. billion and50 growing

kenexa results with our state's economy. connects results with our states county. if you don't know where you don't know where you're going, anywhere will get you there. we have to gather data and information and we have to know where we are. we have to track the progress itself and be able to measure the results so we can know that we're are getting the results we need to have. we have to create high-quality public-private partnerships. that is something great we have been doing all across the nation and you will see that in this report. we have to have more flexibility with our federal and state funding and our incentives we have and other resources we can better realign our education and workforce training programs in the nation. over the past year, my initiative, america works, has brought together governors, education leaders, employers, workforce training programs, economic development professional leaders, private sectors so we can spur innovation and have collaboration and have a national conversation about how we can create the vibrant economy, more opport

a number of states resisted. >> the resistance has enraged many people in those states who say that republican leaders are rejecting medicaid expansion because it part of president obama's signature legislation. >> rural citizens dying shouldn't be soldiers of our legislature's defiance. >> the fact that you had a strong rightward shift in the country, a very, very strong presence of a group of people who may be small in numbers but who are very, you know, electrifyingly present as voters and organizers... >> is that the tea party? >> yes, who oppose all government spending, really, for anything, it appears. >> nearly 2 million georgians lack health coverage. >> you are putting in jeopardy the health care of the citizens of alabama. >> a level of opposition to the point at which those who hold these beliefs are willing to put the lives and health of thousands of state residents on the line to further a belief. >> al jazeera america presents >> i'm not a genius, but... i feel like that kid that doesn't need to go to practice. >> 15 stories one incredible journey edge of eighteen coming septembe

and the states where soccer is least popular are red states. the only difference between the soccer coalition and the obama coalition is that african-americans are right now not such big soccer fans and, of course, important parts of the obama coalition. so, african-americans have a disproportionate passion to basketball. you can see the democrobama coan is soccer plus basketball. the republican coalition is essentially playable plus golf plus nascar. and football is really bilateral. >> you've been tracking the numbers, the kinds of things that define american exceptionalism are declining, particularly among young people, right? >> right. for instance, if you look at religiosty, a dividing line between america and europe, you find among younger people that there's less of a stark divide, not because europe has changed but because younger americans are much less likely to be affiliated. if you look at questions about patriotism or shoev nichchauvinu also find that the gap that exists among older americans is virtually disappeared for younger pe

for two people a jewish state in israel a palestinian state in palestine i have no trouble with that and i think most israelis in principle would support that one of the major problems that come out hamas is committed my other colleague from jerusalem talks about we have to rebuild gaza why we build gaza so they can bring in more and more on what the mouse has done over the last couple years is to bring in missiles which is designed to kill israelis they're not building a society that once peace a society that one speech recognizes the other the pallor the hamas not the palestinian authority we fuse to recognize the state of israel abbas wants to make peace i hope that we pressure put on him pressure put on it and yallow so that they will bring about peace talks again ok album is come out of his position ok if i go to you i mean i certainly don't see two states there i see one very long brutal occupation in the west bank is getting smaller and smaller for the palestinians i don't i don't believe in this peace talk and two state solution stuff anymore it's a joke. well you're absolute

own home state. so we are accommodating an accounting system that allows regional approaches to be robust, that allows them to be specifically designed, even if you want to do regional just for renewables but want to do the rest in your own state, that's fine too. so one of the challenges with this rule is it is so flexible that states have many choices, and we're trying to work with them individually, which we continue to meet with them, and regionally to explain how the accounting system would work and how these different approaches might benefit their states in a way that they will think is most important. >> the flexibility issue, the states have pretty much carte blanche as to how they achieve their balances. you mentioned renewables. you mentioned improvements to their power plants itself. what are the parameters in which the states can operate? >> the only obligation that the states have under this rule is to achieve those state targets in a timely way. so we have based those state targets on

in their states and guidelines to help states develop their plans for meeting those goals. this proposal gives states flexibility in determining how to meet their goals. states will choose what goes into their plans and show how they will achieve the needed protection to meet their goals by the year 2030. the second rule will hear testimony today on is epa's proposed rule to address carbon dioxide emissions are modified in reconstructive power plants. this rule would set emission limits for two groups of power plants, those that make physical or operational changes that increase the plans maximum achievable hourly rate of emissions and those that replace components to such an extent that the new components exceed 50% of the total capitol cost of an entirely new comparable facility. if you would like more details on either of these proposed rules or fact sheets available near the registration desk that you pass when he came in from the outside. today's hearing is one of four public hearings across the country this week on the two proposed rules. we have had tremendous intere

over often voiced by policymakers in washington what's wrong with not being helpful to the united states is that such a big a crime i mean after all it's a level playing field and everybody is das what he or she or the country sees to be in its national interest no but we're talking about helpful to international peace . in two thousand and six russia promised it would get hamas to agree to make peace with israel eight years later it hasn't happened and putin is prefer to play hamas as anti american card than constructive peace building but mr friedman that the arab palestinian conflict is not the only threat to the peace in the middle is i mean since then america has very nicely and very calls that involve itself in a number of conflicts sleepiest syria. you know the instability in egypt you know you cannot blame russia for not you know labeling hamas as a terrorist organization as being the only decisive factor of why the whole region is on fire the region is on fire starting with syria because of russian intervention and iranian intervention if the russians had not put in so much mili

the new trend is to shut down abortion services state-by-state. this is happening all across the country is their signed into law that single out abortion services between 2011 and 2013 more than two dozen states passed over 200 restrictions to block access to abortion services this translates to more restrictions placed on women health care in three years than with the entire proceeding decade. the women's constitutional right now depends on her address. women in california now to those rights differ from texas or mississippi. according to one is to to 56 percent of women 56 percent now with in a state that is hostile to abortion. these laws range from mandatory waiting periods to buy as counseling to the exact size requirements for the offices of which the procedure is to take place of a recent law in texas requires doctors to perform procedures to have former admitting privileges at a hospital within 30 miles of the clinical on with other senseless requirements we see the effects and clinics began to close their doors so women in texas have lon

last month, secretary of state john kerry held the state department's our ocean conference. i attended that conference for two days. one of the presenters there was dr. carol turley of the plymouth marine laboratory, and she described her research on ocean acidification, including using this draft of ocean acidity over the past 25 million years. that's today minus 25 million years, today minus 20 million years, minus 15 million years, minus 10 million years, fine us five million years and now. look at how little variation there has been in ocean p.h. across that 25 million-year time scale. remember again we have been on the planet around 200,000 years. we go back to about here. the rest of this is geologic time. that is a long span of time. and you put against that what's happening now, look how sudden that change is in ocean p.h. the basic acidity of the oceans. why has this happened? we know, we know that human activity releases gigatons of carbon every year. that's undeniable. we know that that carbon dioxide acidifies seawater. that's basic chemistry. you can do that in

what is the united states doing?, it is confirming the world's ever-growing opinion of it as foolish, weak, toothless and able to be taken. what have, what are we doing with regard to the fact that china is increasingly extending its power over the western pacific? well, we are sending a few troops to the philippines. not nearly enough to protect them, of course. not nearly enough to protect anything. while making loud noises about renewing our commitment to our allies in the area, precisely the same mistakes as in 1921. which mistakes can be expected to have the same results. starting in the 1980s and a growing matter in the 1990s, we have -- the united states has been suffering attacks from various terrorists. the u.s. government has several times and most sonorously by george w. bush after 9/11 declared some kind of war against these terrorists. but the u.s. government has failed to identify who is causing that war, preferring to pretend that this war is being waged by a few rogues whose identity we really don't t

states. we have a new scoring system we discussed with some of you. we used to put them in one of five pockets. we now have an extensive national survey packed voter scoring system that puts every voter in a 1-1 and is available so that we can deal with it in a granular way. we used that in the florida 13 special session. and, of course, the canvassing tools, we now have a system that state parties have been purchasing where we have a canvassing act that goes on the smart phone and loads of information through an automated system. we gather information at the doors that immediately gets put up into the are in see database and shared with campaigns instantaneously. not only out in the field working to persuade voters and talk to them but out gathering data and making the entire file better and more robust. i talked about that. well, the scores are being enhanced. wheatley will be doing thousands of poll questions that will give us a running track of issues across the country and continue to en

of states, in your experience, have you seen whether or not many states have acted to expand access to post adoption services following these reports of private rehoming? >> that's a great question. so we know that before the story came out approximately half of all states have reported to us that they do regularly offer post adoption services, not only to children adopted out of the foster care system but also those adopted through private adoptions or internationally. the challenge remains that there are very limited dollars available to states to use to support post adoption services. another way to think about post-adoption is really prevention. these are services designed to help parents struggling with their children whether adopted or biological. the reality is in our child welfare system, we do not invest as much in preventive services as we do after the crisis occurs. this is a real challenge across all states. >> i was going to get in a moment to some of your suggestions you may have already outlined. some of them bear repeating at a hearing like this. any cases that you'r

since then, states have come up with new experiments about ways to try to kill people, state after state after state has taken measures to hide where they're getting their drugs from. it's widely believed that many if not most states are getting drugs from compounding pharmacies the way south dakota did. they're keeping that information secret from the public. all the states that are doing in all across the country are trying to prevent the public from knowing where they're getting their drugs from. and as states have been running out of drugs or found the drugs don't work all that well, and turn people blue and make them gasp and stare for a long while, while they're supposed to be peacefully dying, the system has just logistically become more chaotic and more experimental over time, this year, in the year 2014, it has started to fall completely apart. in january in oklahoma, drugs from a compounding pharmacy were used, the prisoner they were trying to kill in oklahoma, he gave what he thought would be his last words. i love everybody, love the world, love my daughters for me, i'm going

state/federal program recognize the current significant state investment in early education. next, the vice president's work force review. as we just heard in the opening session, the vice president has been conducting a comprehensive review of federal work force programs. in april the nga submitted a memorandum to the vice president with eight recommendations to reduce red tape and provide states with more tools to meet the needs of their state economies. we are continuing to work with the white house to develop a strategy for implementation of the recommendations. and finally, cacg. the committee took steps to fix the college access challenge grant program to bolster state-led efforts to insure college access and affordability. governor beshear, again,s it is a pleasure to work with you this year. it's clear that the committee's progress that we should continue to work together, i think there have been a great amount of successes, and i think this is a true example of bipartisanship being very meaningful for the people of america and of our states. thank you, sir. >> thanks

the red state map stretches across nine states. republicans need nine seats to gape control. they need to win six of the seven red states held by democrats. pretty interesting an easy path, right? they need to hold on to two republican seats being targeted by democrats, georgia and kentucky. then they need to run the table and win all seven. if they lose both, they need to find and eighth. but the senate race is also starting to be fought in places that are blue featuring blue and purple states. add seven more states to the competitive map, colorado, iowa, michigan, gop and virginia. if republicans start whipping any of these contests, that they go from the possibility of winning the senate to a chance of picking up even more seats, maybe eight, nine or ten and having a real senate majority. the blue states combine to 65 electoral votes in the presidential election. of course they are all carried by the president. this week we are unveiling new maris polls in the key blue and purple senate rate targets. today we look at michigan and colorado. tomorrow will be iowa and new ham

for example, the state of lundberg is home to two especially outstanding institutions the brown in spite of solar energy systems and the center of solar energy and technology together with our strong mechanic engineering companies and with the aid of what it will take lundberg is in such a suburb position to play a leading roll in developing the energy supply of the future my confidence is based on the technology potential of what it takes by increasing efficiency and cutting the production costs with the energy power generation costs that compare to those of conference power plants. however, another fact in the success of what it takes would be how intellectually we integrate them into our systems. the great advantage is the ability to cap loads around midday there's numerous technologies who could be used to store electricity from what it takes including in combination with other forms of power generations by looking at the program and the exhibit our list there's a lot of opportunity no north american to challenge information about those issues and in a way of interesting subject. i w

shute the advocacy of homosexuality other states me about it states such as arizona texas and alabama likewise prohibit that kind of advocacy but go even further than the russian law does or the utah law and for example the arizona law instructs school teachers in the public school system to demonstrate to students that there is no safe mechanism or safe way to have quote unquote homosexual sex which is simply untrue. well alabama and texas instructs school teachers to tell pupils young people that homosexuality is not an acceptable lifestyle and also instructs them to say that homosexual sex in private is a crime in those states which is not true since two thousand and three the us supreme court has said states cannot make consensual private homosexual activities between two adults across. grove in texas i think. it was definitely hard being gay i knew probably when i was about five that i. had the feelings and knew that i was interested in guys but i didn't know what exactly it was and as i went through high school and stuff i started to realize more that i just wasn't the same as a

i don't think it is in the states. i don't think the democratic and republican governors would have the same difference of opinion than democratic and republican senators. you may want to talk to your senators between now and the end of the year. we need to fix no child left behind. you need to get rid of the waivers. we have two very distinct points of view right now in washington. on marketplace fairness, we are bipartisan. on this, we are bipartisan. on change in the workforce act, we got that done in a bipartisan way. the last looking over 30 years, governors ought to be in charge. we should fix no child left behind and when we do, we don't need a national school board to replace governors state school boards, local school boards, and classroom teachers. those are my tools. >> senator, thanks very much. we are going to throw the floor open for questions, and i'm going to take the privilege as chair of asking the first one. thank you for pushing through the full restoration of that 15% set aside. as you mentioned, i

to-state solution. briefly, all right. close your eyes and imagine the worst. if there cannot be a two-state solution, what should be the solution? -- let's differentiate what is likely to happen. if i were to reach the conclusion that two states are impossible, i would support one state with equal citizenship. that is the moral thing to do. that is the only one i could harmony with my moral beliefs and justice. is that likely to happen? probably not. in fact, the probably only thing that is keeping the two state solution is alive -- alive is that the majority of israelis think that a two state solution is no longer possible, they do not think there will be one state. there will be violence for years to come. how do you manage it from exploding? if you look at it from not a moral point of view or something i would advocate as an individual with moral point of how do you manage the conflict, we are in trouble. no matter what you do, we will have an irruption. equilibriumobvious point. for theibility woul
