i'd like to welcome now professor daniela server he directs the conflict management program at johns hopkins school of advanced international studies in washington a very warm welcome professor i mean this is starting to feel like a deja vu we've seen this before massive offensive is announced un warns of a bloodbath offensive goes ahead and the world moves on for the nearly three million people in this area what can the international community do because words like bloodbath they're meaningless at this stage i think the international community can do very little now it's a large scale and tear on the restrain damascus and i don't see either one is willing to sacrifice much in order to do that iran seems to be wanting the fighting include russia might prefer restraint but if the fight begins i expect them to support. us president donald trump has warned president assad not to quote recklessly attack the u.s. ambassador to the united nations nikki haley said this let's take a listen i will continue our conversation at the i think what you are seeing is the president saying to iran russia and

or earlier we spoke to professor daniel serwer he is director of conflict management at johns hopkins school of advanced international studies in washington d.c. he gave us his view on the looming fight for it and america's role in the conflict . i think the international community can do very little now it's up to moscow from terror on to restrain damascus and i don't see either one is willing to sacrifice much in order to do that iran seems to be wanting the fight in include russia might prefer restraint but if the fight begins i expect them to support the us has played a pretty strong role in defeating the a sonic state especially in eastern syria but the president clearly wants to get out the americans are looking for some sort of resolution that will enable that to happen it probably won't happen right away but i do expect eventually that the americans who would drop i'd be surprised if a full fledged salt occurs before friday but i won't be surprised if the person next week so. i haven't seen anything yet that would stop it. that was professor daniel serwer speaking with us earl

why did the government rescue other banks but not lehman the johns hopkins economist has been puzzling over that question for years. the fed of the treasury saw how disastrous lehman failure was and thought that the economy might be heading towards like the thirty's scale depression they that realized that it was time to body else out so they did they rescue there was the card program which the treasury bought stock in most of the leading bags. lawrence involved says if lehman brothers had been bailed out the entire global financial crisis would probably have been far less destructive and much easier to control. ten years after the event a new generation is delving into the issue and they're able to pinpoint the mistakes made much more precisely the overarching question though is this will time and hindsight be enough to prevent the next global financial crisis. some experts say the next crisis could be even worse brace yourselves but here's something perhaps we should consider might having more women in leading positions in the financial sector help prevent such a base christine the g

. >> now, raj shah discusses energy policy in the developing world at an event hosted by the johns hopkins school of advanced international studies. he is carly president of the rockefeller foundation. this is just under one hour. >> good afternoon, everyone i'm very glad to see all of you here. i started the initiative last year when i started here. we had our launching event in october last year with rachel from sustainable energy for all, and we are talking right now and if you different geographics. the focus is also on the intersection of -- we are interested in solving the problem of sustainable development in emerging economics. we work with india. we work in china. we have active projects in myanmar and vietnam as well. the challenge that we see here is that the center of gravity in today's world energy environment is reshaping away from industry and more towards what the emerging economies. their population are larger. most of the economic is to build in both of the economic growth is come from this country and as a result -- [inaudible] at the same time over 1 billion people stil

my name is aritha, i'm a secondary student at john hopkins. and how does a project like this vary with election cycles and in india, what are the possibility of these projects in 2019 and further? >> that is a great question. look, power is a top priority for any political leader running a nation. we learned that -- i learned that during the obama administration. every head of state that would come to see us from an emerging economy would want to talk about power, would want to talk about infrastructure, would want to explore, whether the united states a little bit like china has -- can play a bigger role in helping them achieve those public investment goals. and it became readily apparent that was the focus of what people valued and felt they needed to produce for their population in order to be plit cal -- politically successful. so i would be shocked if a -- a different party came to power in any of our partnership countries on this smart power effort, for them to say, well, power access, electricity is no longer critical. if anything, in t

in my view, and i said this to the students of john hopkins university last year. when your iphone will last a couple of weeks, the battery, then you should short oil stocks. not more. francine: but that could take 10 to 15 years. paolo: nobody knows. we need to replace the bathroom windows, the ion lithium batteries, invented in the -- battery windows, the ion lithium batteries -- the time of renewables is not the time in which renewables will replace oil. francine: do you worry about underinvestment in the oil industry in preparation for renewables? paolo: that's exactly the issue. what is happening today as we have an oil price, and i think this will stay as it is for the next three or four years. every time the oil price moves up, shale oil in america will act as a kind of ceiling. barrel will be the price for a few years. then the lack of investment might push prices higher, even or 100region of $90 dollars, probably three years or four years, and it lets investment pick up again. and then you have all of this unknown. i remember chasing you around the world,

live coverage of that discussion from johns hopkins school of advanced studies. starts at 5:00 p.m. eastern. every fourth january, c-span camps out in iowa for presidential politics. we are pleased to be back in des moines during a warm season. this is part of the 50 capitals tour and joining us on the c-span bus is the iowa state senate president charles schneider. thank you for being with us. how is trump doing from your vantage point in iowa? well, i would say, a couple of things. the economy is doing well. and that is due in large part to what is going on with the tax program. that trump and congress have passed. it also has something to do with what we have enabled to a, which at the state level. that being said, there is anger about the future of trade. our farmers have been patient with trump so far and looks like they will continue to do so. is,the fact of the matter we produce a lot of corn and soybeans and we need trade partners for the commodities and products. and we want to see more free-trade, as soon as we can. host: have iowa farmers been hurt by tariffs put on china

we reached out to johns hopkins. with the recommendation to go to doctor hoffer with his experience treating brain injury there. so the first patients back in april and may 2017, or by doctor hoffer. subsequently we only determined a really morbid brain injury process, the zoe process efforts to buy a seller of excellence and university of pennsylvania whether the divide. patients have come there. >> but doesn't seem a bit strange that -- symptoms would be sent to a dr. who apparently did not use standard concussion assessments. isn't that strange? >> at the time we felt he was the best qualified person and recommendations we received to do the initial evaluation. >> thank you. if anyone else want to comment? okay, thank you very much. i yield back, mr. chairman. >> thank you.now recognized, the gentleman from alabama. congressman brooks. >> thank you, mr. chairman. i've heard words like socialist, communist, authoritarian, represses and abuses citizens, basic freedoms or frames that we would take for granted in the

we will have discussions at johns hopkins at 5:00 p.m. eastern. on the communicators, a round table discussion on social media censorship with text freedom president -- with a tech freedom president. >> we can have a debate about what twitter should do. it is not a political question. policyot a question of or what the government's policy or what the government's role should be. we could have an ethical debate about that like we can have an ethical debate about -- [no audio] the fact i keep bringing up the president and that he is allowed to use the platform, just illustrates how much twitter has erred to allow people to use their platform to abuse other users. we are not heading towards a world in which people are regularly taken down. what out the ground rules? how do people know how to behave? and what are their rights of appeal if it turns out that they feel they have been banned by mistake, or they have a particularly important or controversial point of view that ought to be heard? >> watch the communicators tonight at 8:00 eastern on c-span

william egginton as director for the excel under crust humanities institute at johns hopkins university. a prolific author and translator were such works as how the world became a stage, the philosopher's desire in the man who invented fiction. he contributes to the stone, the los angeles review of the stanford university arcade. william egginton argues our current national crisis as a result of personal identity ideals overwhelming our sense of community. balance is pronounced on college campuses for identity politics is the norm along with higher learning to exclusive expensive clubs for the cultural and economic elite. the focus on individualism is leading to a new kind of intolerance degrading civic discourse and distracting its commitment to equality. the book challenges us to reengage their history and reimagining work with the way. thank you very much. hotbot >> thank you. thank you, everybody. it's great to be at politics & prose. i'm going to read for a little while. it's a complicated book in the sense that i've got three sections over together as one. identity, inequality and

my view, as i said this to the students of john hopkins university last year, when you are iphone willcouple of weeks, the battery, then you should short oil stocks, not before. francine: that could take 10 to 15 years? paolo: nobody knows because we need to replace the batteries. the lithium batteries, which had been invented in the 1980's, a kind of old technology, which uses cobalt, which is another problem for several reasons, with the new technology that makes the battery light or, last or last- lighter longer. until we are there come we are not at the time where renewables will replace oil. worry about you underinvestment in the oil industry in preparation for renewables and what that would do to the price of oil? paolo: that is the issue. today, we have an oil price, and i think this will stay as it is for the next three or four years. every time the oil price moves up, shale oil in america will act as a kind of seething, so $70 to $75 a barrel will be the price for a few years, then the lack of investment might push prices higher, even in the , probably$90 or $100 three or four

we reached out to johns hopkins. there was a recommendation to go to dr. hoffer because of his experience in the military treating brain injury there. so the first patients back in april and may of 2017 were assessed by dr. hopper. subsequently, when we determined this was probably not localized to the acoustic system, that it was a broader brain injury process, that's when we made efforts to finds a center of excellence for brain injury and repair. university of pennsylvania was then identified. patients have gone there since. >> but doesn't it seem a bit strange that our diplomats suffering from concussion-like symptoms would be sent to a doctor who apparently did not use standard concussion assessments? isn't that strange? >> at the time, we felt he was the best qualified person and the recommendation we received to do the initial evaluation. >> okay. thank you. if anyone else wants to comment. okay. thank you very much. i yield back, mr. chairman. >> thank you. now recognize the gentleman from alabama, congressman brooks. >> thank you, mr. chairman. i'

limitations but for instance the toxicological artificial intelligence system developed by the johns hopkins researchers in dr thomas heartens lab. took advantage of the european union reach registration system which requires the testing and registration of all chemicals in the european union produced in more than one ton of volume per year they took ten years of those data ten thousand chemicals they link them to eight hundred thousand laboratory studies reporting on those chemicals and they were able to create these enormous maps of where these chemicals fall in terms of their safety or specific adverse effects and by learning from this what the artificial intelligence system can do is take a new chemical plug it in put it on the map where it belongs relative to other chemicals and thereby predict whether it's going to be safe or whether it's going to be toxic for the liver or toxic for the heart rhythm or toxic for the nervous system dr john pippen from the physicians committee for responsible medicine thank you not only for your time tonight but for the work you do. well thank you we wer

are serious risks of a premature peace declaration or as evan sankey a research analyst at the john hopkins institute who claims and the national interest magazine that while he doesn't believe peace is even possible the process is helpful because quote washington has learned that the south korean president if too deeply invested in rip that's right hogwash others experts in foreign policy are claiming that north and south korea and its leaders are far too interested in key economic development of those ikey's a. piece of economic development when we get out terrible thing when we did that build more bombs and drop the mother of three a i mean what's wrong with that i do yeah i don't know anybody so you know so pushy about i phones how horrifying i mean just the idea that someone would sit there and say well you know if we can't trust north korea south korean president to do this it's so fowle like it's just the worst is something they're going well he just wants or pressure he just wants them to have peace hotel or. some of the korean peninsula rose that's where you are literally are about

door to get your article published in your paper in the conference and get your book published by johns hopkinsversity press. by your mid 40's, you have kind of arrived. you could be a musician, an actor, it is all the same. you have arrived. you are good. then, you keep getting work based on the basis of that prime and you can start to pick and choose. so by the time you are in your so by the time you are in your 60's and the senior partner in a law firm, this is the way it used to be. so you are a senior partner in the law firm sheldon and shelton, and you kick back and spend all of your time playing golf. putting all the work on the younger lawyers. [laughter] that is the kind of system, and then you arrive at different levels of success. the fact of life is even as well as people are prepared, as hard as they work or do not work, some people are going to become president and others will be obscure. some will be rich and others less rich. the idea is that the gifted and a hard-working are rewarded and the less accomplished, and this is crucial for rawls theory, the less accomplished, if this

james person is a professor of korean studies at the johns hopkins school of advanced international studies as well as we are hearing this most warm words coming out of washington we've had the tweet from john saying it's very exciting and we've had pompei of talking about important commitments and and this talks or negotiations to denuclearize north korea by january twenty twenty one do you think that things have moved significantly with this new statements from from the north and the south well as the previous speakers that there are still many questions. the devil's in the details and certainly we've we've seen in the past cases where we have. made some some positive steps forward only for things to fall apart in the end so there's there's a lot to be worked out. including for example if we were to move forward in signing some sort of. declaring an end to the korean war something that the two koreas are very eager to do who would be involved in this and if we were to take that a step further and actually have a formal declaration. a peace agreement replacing the armistice the korean war

fuerte contraste al mes anterior, cuando celebraban su aceptación en la prestigiosa universidad johns hopkinsos americanos.

[ laughter ] >> looking at the latest developments under nafta, we have -- well, we have a very distinguished set of panelists. and hopefully an extremely interesting discussion as well given that all of these issues are playing out as we go along. a couple of weeks ago i was walking across the street nearby to brookings for lunch. and i ran into mary.

(catherine) a los angeles charter school was put on lockdown today - becauseof a nearby shooting. it happened around noon near the 'charter high of the arts, multimedia, and performing school' -- in the van nuys section of the city. police say the shooting didn't happen inside the school... at least two peop

we are told four patients with gunshot wounds are being treated right now at johns hopkins bayview medical center half an hour away from here in baltimore. officials will tell us whether one of the people they are treating is the shooter, who is in critical condition. we know the lone suspect is in custody and those shooter may have been out of email. the crisis team is also baltimore-based, they arrived this morning to help and details about their investigation are very slow to come in but we've been told the weapon used was a handgun and that the first responders never fired their weapons, so we don't know exactly how the suspect wound up in critical condition. statistics concerning casualties are not available yet, there were people calling 911 at 9:06 this morning. police are only confirming that multiple people were killed and multiple people were shot. we are hoping for further details about what happened, who the shooter is, what the relationship might've been to this distribution center and what may have motivated them at the next briefing here. the scene of the crime is still tota

joining me now, rick wilson and with me here in the studio is wendy, johns hopkins university professort to have both of you with us. rick, let me begin with you if i may. if there's one thing trump and his base love, it is to hate president obama. so with president obama returning to the fray, is it likely that obama's presence is going to fire up the republican base, especially trump's base? >> look, right now if you ask the average obama supporter and the average democrat, they were already highly motivated to come out. i think if barack obama is targeting in swing races, it's probably going to be a net plus for the democrats. i will say this, he does activate some republicans, but their baseline hatred of him is so high, it's not going to be much more. this is the president who acts like hillary clinton won. hillary is president or obama is still president by a lot of the way he acts, so i think the motivation level of democrats is so high, we've seen it in all the specials so far this year and all the polling that barack obama may juice a little bit of turnout in key races. it's a

victims from this morning's mass shooting are being treated at johns hopkins about an hour from here.hey are working on notifying victims families, and they will not confirm to us whether or not one of their patients is the shooter. >> to us, they are all patients. we weren't there, so everything we know a second or third hand. i can't comment on whether one or not is the shooter. >> the harford county, maryland sheriff's office is now reaching out on social media to anybody who may still be in the building. they are telling people who may be hiding out that if they are still at the scene, to call 911 right now so that deputies can locate them. dan? >> dana: albright, peter peter, thank you. the fbi fda wants to start a nw campaign to reduce teen vaping. flood silly major threat to the carolinas, days after florence hit land. brian is in brunswick, north carolina. brian, what are you seeing ther there? >> high matt, dino. search and rescue's are still underway. they are using vehicles to save people. they are expecting the reviewer to trask democrats to 20 feet plus. we will have more

>> i'm richard from johns hopkins university. to me, there seems to be a fairly obvious partisan divide on earmarks that this was passed as a republican conference rule, the ban on earmarks and that if you look at studies it turns out that earmarks do a lot more for democratic members at home certainly since the democratic members tend to pursue a type of representation that emphasizes things like earmarks, emphasizes serving constituencies at home less than the more ideological path that a lot of republicans take. as you pointed out, people like the house freedom caucus say we wouldn't take ear marks if we could. i'm wondering if that's a factor that maybe you could emphasize more. >> sure. i mean, although i think you put it more starkly than it needs to be particularly with the history of the mid '90s to the mid aughts of republican party control largely and these folks are asking for and getting a lot of earmarks. i do think that you know, the kind of theoretical and em pircally supported differences between kind of interest

johns hopkins. remember that. all right now, guys. look, he came out, he supported me. i got to say this, he supported me when lynn patton of hud called me miss piggy. i'm like oh, gosh, yes, because i asked the words mr. president, are you a racist. but i want to say this. when i was at morgan state, i loved miss piggy. i thought she was fabulous. i used to call myself miss piggy. she doesn't know that, but anyway r anyway, moving on, i digress. in that room, patton was there, ben carson was there, the niece and nephew of dr. king were there. not the children, not bernice, not dexter, not ml3. they are going to talk about the greatness of dr. king and see, i intrinsically understand what it means to be black in america. i understand what it means to be a human being in america. i understand what dr. king did for america. if he and robert kennedy had lived, it wouldn't have just been about race. it would have been about poverty and fighting against poverty for all people. if they had lived, six weeks apart they were killed. the dream is still alive but the dreamers were

they are being treated right now, the survivors at johns hopkins bay view center in baltimore which ist the time when these victims all got there, the doctors said that they didn't even know whether or not one of the people that they were treating for a gunshot wound, priority one patient was the shooter. listen to this. all right. well, they said essentially that a patient is a patient and they were notating between people who were shot versus the shooter. again, it looks like the authorities are still briefing right now. so, if there is anything else, we will bring it to you, trace. >> trace: peter doocy live for us on the scene there. thank you, for context, it is extraordinarily rare to have a female shooter. you will recall back in april there was a female shooter at youtube. remember, she opened fire there. but you go through history and they are extremely rare to find. more updates on the shooting in maryland as we get them. meantime, the billionaire who owns the class mavericks says he is going to donate millions of dollars to women groups. after an investigation uncovered wide
