this is an extraordinary story simon, what more do you know?rter: well, we just arrived here it's a small port on the southern tip of italy. and the town has been overwhelmed by the volume of this latest incidents outside a school in the center. dozens of men some that i have just spoken to have told me that they are from syria awaiting to be processed by the local authorities. outside this school there are two coaches, ready to go onto we understand two other towns in the local area where they were be processed and then perhaps moved onto a migrant center, further inland. there are many women and children on those buses that i have seen just as i walked past. so a very chaotic scene here. the chip, a moldovan registered freighter was pickedded up by the italian coast guard navy and escorted here in the early hours of the morning from what we understand is somewhere between 70750 migrants on board. most of them from syria. and some of them apparently also from pakistan. >> as we understand it, the crew deserted the ship and it would have rammed

let's go to simon mcgregor-wood, who is on the line from a coastal city. we are hearing that bad weather is hampering the rescue effort at the moment. can you confirm that? >> yes, absolutely it's been a difficult night from all that we can understand from the conversations with the italian coast guard and navy. we were told that the "northern atlantic", was going to be towed to a port in southern italy. that changed. the rescue operation is centered at the scene of the ferry's fire, the ferry is stable it's been attached with cables. it's not being toed. that's the latest situation through the night. the shuttle mission, if you like of italian helicopters winching small groups of passengers from the top decks of the ferry to nearby waiting ships, and to other merchant vessel ships that are circling the northern atlantic to provide a place where they can be airlifted to. the numbers, therefore, are changing all the time. here are the latest numbers. 290 passengers and crew members have been saved from the burning ferry. that leaves 188 still on board, and

i'm bob simon.tion, we visit with a trio seeking to make a difference by offering a helping hand to those in need. we begin with nicholas negroponte, a professor at mit. he's the founder of a nonprofit organization called one laptop per child. his vision is for every child to have a laptop computer, and with it, the possibility of a better future. he recruited a cadre of engineers and programmers who created the low-cost xo laptop. it costs less than $200 and is designed to be used in some of the most impoverished places on the planet. as lesley stahl reported in may 2007, negroponte's dream was ambitious. to understand it better, let's go back to where that dream was born: cambodia. >> the idea came to him in a remote village called reaksmy, a four-hour drive on a dirt road from the nearest town. it's as far from mit as you can get. they don't even have running water. >> [bell being struck] >> stand by. >> negroponte and his family founded a school here in 1999, putting in a satellite dish and gene

>> yeah, apparently dan simon is having an issue. he's not hearing us. but again, we're hearing there are protests. and as you can see, happening in berkeley, california. you can see the protesters there lining the streets courtesy of our affiliate ktvu. we want to get to cnn's deb feyerick who is out among the protesters as well. deb, where are you and what are you seeing? >> reporter: yeah. can you hear me? >> yes, i can. >> reporter: is this don? >> yes, it is. >> reporter: i'm sorry, don. it's a little bit loud here. hold on. i'm going to -- >> what's going on, deb? >> reporter: not much. there are few protesters left. it was much larger earlier on. now there are just a couple of dozen protesters that stayed around. but the crowd is running out. the police have it well under control. the protesters called it at a quarter after 9:00. this is sort of the hardcore group that's here. >> deb, you have been out every night with those protesters. the numbers get big and then they get small. is this usually the time they start to dwindle or are you finding i

let's speend it over to chicago for the santelli exchange. >> thanks, simon.guest, he wrote an op-ed in "the washington times" yesterday. i think janet yellen and company probably really agreed with the first half. fed yearns for higher inflation. where they may not agree is the rest of it, to disguise asset bubbles. the author on with us right now taking the time. catch me up on your recent writing and thoughts in general on inflation, disinflation, and the fed. >> well, the idea that the federal reserve or any central bank should deliberately try to force consumer prices up under the false pretense that rising consumer prices, otherwise called inflation, is somehow necessary for economic growth when it's knot. basically, economies do better when prices are not rising. in fact, if consumer prices were falling, that's the best possible result for an economy. >> well, you know, if we go back to the '30s, it's the one subset. it's their entire subset for most of the things they do today. we don't want to see european style price drops that have huge percentages

simon mcgregor wood has more. >> the last of the passengers were lifted on monday afternoon almost 36 hours after the fire took hold. workers had a shuttle system, winching passengers from the upper decks. they were then taken osafety on nearby vessels. there is now some confusion of the number of people rescued from the vessel. it appears to be less than ton manifest. lleading to splaition speculation that not all were rescued. >> this is giving us some difficulty. >> earlier on monday, 49 passengers were transferred to the italian port of bari. most of them including some children were transferred later to continue their onward journeys. some described chaotic scenes on board the manatlantic when the crisis first started. >> no compltion nobody to communication. i had to put the life jackets on the children smiex. okay itmyself. okay it was a panic. >> it was unbelievably wavy, the ropes broke lots of times. we did two three attempts to try get up the boat and we had to go up a rope ladder. >> the italian navy and the coast guard said, the appalling weather conditions and the fact t

simon mcgregor wood is waiting for arrival to the conference, simon, what are we expecting? >> well, we're expecting the president to afghanistan, the new president to afghan after his party to pitch how they plan to run afghanistan in the future. they're joined here at lancaster house, this is the 12 support for it by the way. they will try to convince the international community that afghan and it's future as a pliable state is a good fit. he was talking about political reform. he talked about corruption. he talked about how he has developed the economy, and what he's going to be doing with afghan's dealing with security next year. this year they continue the training mission. security will be a big question all at the time when the international donor community is getting tired of afghanistan, the amount of money going in is falling all the time, and that is a major concern. this is a chance nor the afghanistans to try and convince the international. community to stick with it as it goes into 2015 on a it's own in terms of security. they desperately need the help of the i

>> that's right, simon.ng to be the most important of janet yellen's meetings so far as she chooses whether to cut that umbilical cord to markets and do away with the guidance which the fed would stay at zero interest rates for a considerable time. this would be no less than a change in the regime that has governed fed policy for more than two years since qe-3 was launched. the thinking is it doesn't come until mid-2015. it would be the first step towards the first rate hike in eight years. what would stop the fed? how about inflation numbers coming in this morning, at least on the headline basis. less than expected. minus 0.3%. the core, however, coming in at expectations, up 0.1%. that's food and energy. gas falling 6.6. apparel, new cars and a variety of other nonenergy related items also fell. that could give the fed pause as this is a time of global volatili volatility. the fed is likely to see the lower oil prices as a positive for now. but it will have some concern that these prices will keep it from

simon, is this something to be concerned about? >> it's not a big thing for president putin at the moment. the biggest concern for him is the economy, where the ruble has been moving and obviously the lower oil prices. this is something that is shaking markets up generally. but i don't think it's overly worrying in the short-term. >> it does seem astonishing that his approval ratings are still so high. how long does that persist before it xhangs? >> i would think in the six to nine months, this will start into the livelyhood of every rush i can't tell until local economy. then we'll start to see these ratings diminish over the next 6 to 9 months. >> what gives you confidence it can rebound? >> it's a challenge, admittedly. but the thing is, we have about 10%, 11% debt to gdp public sector in russia. the central bank has $400 billion of fx reserves. they maybe need at the extreme about $100 billion over the next 12 months. and the other thing is that the assumption is, in our view or my view personally that over the next 3206 months
