i noted down, and i know that you have explored this territory, i'm sure you're familiar that james watsonon team, said that seeing the bright side of disability is like seeing the bright side of poverty, ie, it does not exist. it does exist. and just as poor people make great music and great literature, so disabled people can make great — everything you can name. as i have said before, i have a g—to—a transposition at point 380 of my fgrf3 gene. we have 3 billion base pairs so i have one spelling mistake out of 3 billion. so, are you picturing all of the 3 billion? because i might be cleverer. i might be more creative. i might be more friendly or more confident, as well as being more short. and the person who is, as it were, average height might be shy, miserable, in other words, not necessarily the citizen that we would like. if we start saying that they should be born and they should never have been born, we are going to draw the line here, i think we are going to not have some people who might contribute purely on the basis of the... surely, our thinking has developed. crick and watson

watson and crick, for instance, james watson is still alive, as best i know. >> yeah.ble. a lot of science, engineering and technology has just come about in the last 50 to 100 years. >> the title kind of gives it away and it's a film about the invention of the laser, but really it's more about the relationship with his wife. why did you choose to go that direction? >> yeah. i felt like narratively one of the ways to create an interesting story that everyone could understand was approaching it through his personal life and the lens of a marriage, and i think it makes the science more accessible. >> so how did you get to know him? >> i got to know him while i was a student at uc berkeley, and he was a professor there, and i found out one of the professors on campus invented the laser and i asked him for office hours and asked him a lot of questions and we got to know each other and one time i saw him outside of a physics lecture and he asked me for a car ride. >> what did you talk about in your car ride? like cal sports or the weather? >> sports probably wasn't his big

james watson, we're sitting in the senate tavern and house. if you judge by ford's theater in washington, d.c., it's about 14 miles southeast of there. what happened at about midnight when the calendar turned from april 42, 52, 1865, here in this tavern, john wilkes booth had been on the run. he shot abraham lincoln about ten, 15 or 10:20 p.m., and he met up with one of his conspirators, david harold, across the 11th street bridge. and they met up at a high point and they rode straight here. this was their intended because this was a house of conspiracy. it was owned by mary surratt. she live here. it was a country tavern that a man rented it and ran it for her. and then she was living in her house in washington, d.c., her boarding house. so booth and david harold arrived here and they pounded on the door. the innkeeper, john lloyd, was asleep and they pounded on the door and again and in then they let booth and david harold. then they came in the side entrance, not through the front door. and then booth said, for god's sake, lloyd, hurry up a

james. bill slaughter. buddy duke. patrick and kay watson. the owners. i said i would have bought some furniture if you had some in there. they have beautiful stuff. they are going to be rebuilt in a very, very short period. i want to thank everybody. we came down with truckloads of things and we will have that done by franklin's incredible organization. they have done such a good job. we have truckloads of different items from oil to water to all sorts of equipment that will help them. we are here today to still in complete solidarity with the people of georgia and with all those suffering in the terrible aftermath of hurricane helene. hurricane helene turned out to be a big one, just about the biggest anyone has seen. i spoke with the release people that do this for a living, and they said they have never seen on this bad. valdosta has been ravaged. the town is very badly hurting. many thousands are without power. they are running low on food and fuel. it will be distributed now throughout georgia as well as north carolina and south carolina, florida,

congress can't give itself a pay raise or a pay cut, that amendment had been proposed by james madison in 1789. watson discovered in 1782 --1925 that there was no time limit on its verification and he was single-handedly responsible to get the states to ratify it. when i tell that story to younger students and high-school students, it kind of energizes them. because they think about one person being invested in the constitution and making a difference. so the power of turning stories like that can also help draw people in. >> justice sotomayor, you also use stories in a lot of ways. >> i used stories a lot of time, as you know, eric. to me, storytelling is perhaps the best way to teach. you are right, i think maybe your question has to focus in on what our responsibilities are as -- and i want to use the word citizenry with a small "c." i am not talking about immigration status. i am talking about citizenship in terms of community, and whether each of us as members of a larger community, what obligations we have to undertake not just to teach, but to learn. i think that is the ingredient that is missi

the white house national security council spokesperson adrienne watson on the attacks joining me live is our diplomatic correspondent jamesandale live in jerusalem. la ke very lake very good to have you with us and which are hearing right now it's iran has launched this strike and hundred drones in iran and directed towards israel and they say those drones will reach israel and confident that there will be destroyed by air defences either on the way or when they arrive. or we are also hearing from the iranians, specifically the guard, they're talking about notjust an attack with the drones but also an attack with the drones but also an attack with missiles. and notjust cruise missiles but also possibly ballistic missiles. that is not been confirmed by the israeli side at the moment but that means if that is the case, it's a conference of attack by iran and this is not a minimalistic exploratory attack, this is the substance of attack nasa reports that some of iran's allies are also participating in their reports that some missiles have been launched by pro—iranian who control much of him in. missiles from a directions and
