they carried me to professional training in a great american university.y working with my own hands for my daily bread. i have tasted the despair of fruitless search for a job. i even know the kindly encouragement of a boarding house keeper. i've seen america in contrast with many nations and many races. my profession took me into many foreign lands and many kinds of governments. i worked in governments of free men, of tyranny, of socialists, of communists, and i have met with princes and kings and despots and desperados. i've seen the frozen class barriers of europe. i was not a tourist. i was associated in their working lives and in their problems. i had to deal with their social systems and their governments. and outstanding everywhere to these great masses of people, there was a hallowed word, 'america.' to them, it was the hope of their whole world. every homecoming was, for me, a reaffirmation of the glory of america. each time our soul was washed by the relief from grinding poverty of other nations, by the greater kindness and frankness which comes

. >>> the director of the institute for public policy and international affairs at the american universitybeirut is joining us now live. thank you, sir, for speaking with us. i want to talk to -- we are hearing a lot of talk about mission creep. in your view, will u.s. role in northern iraq, will that need to expand beyond the current military strikes in order to stop isis in its tracks? and will other western powers need to join the fight here? >> well, clearly there will have to been an expansion of the military operations. the question is who's going to do that? who's going to lead it? who's going to be involved in it? the iraqis -- presumably the iraqi government should take the lead with the kurdish regional authority in the north. the americans are involved with air strikes and other people are involved with humanitarian air drops. you have the kurds in northern iraq and northern syria helping. some kind of coalition of forces is going to have to work together on the ground, as well as from the air, to repel the islamic states advances. what kind of coalition that's going to be is no

in the foreground is the american university. that's a live view from our storm team 4 tower camera under this royal blue sky. off in the distance on the horizon, the high-rise buildings of tyson's corner. behind them you can even see the bull run mountains which are about 50 miles away. it's just an amazing situation here now with the air so dry. 75 now at reagan national. the dew point down to 47. that is very dry air. now the humidity just 37%. we've got a northwesterly breeze that is bringing in this low humidity as we have this canadian high pressure over us. it's near 70 now prince george's, montgomery and fairfax counties. from the bay right now it's in the low 70s. gorgeous day on the bay, gorgeous day around the blue ridge. shenandoah mountains -- the valley into the mountains it's just in the upper 60s to near 70. oakland got down this morning to 45 degrees. they're now at 57. these temperatures jumped about ten degrees in one hour. shenandoah valley was in the 50s, then in the next hour 60s and now it's 70s. how long d

there has been support for an online petition demanding the university reverse its firing, garnering 11,000 signatures. the american association of university professors said in a statement that the job offer, if voided due to tweets, that would be a clear violation of the academic freedom and an affront to free speech. >> this is a growing trend on college campuses, of attempts to silence debit particularly been israel and palestine. it's essential in this case to recognise that stefan is not alone. >> now there's a difference between protecting the academic freedom of a colleague, and what is acceptable from a job candidate. much of this would be protected, you are still not required to give someone a job if you don't think they'll work well in the community. >> for now, he's a professor without a classroom. >>> the liberia president apologised to health workers for the high numbers of them contracting ebola. they are demanding more pay and better conditions. the liberia president pledged money to tackle ebola that has ravaged the region since december. >> if we haven't come enough, i have come here to apologise

. >> joining me is a middle east expert at the american university of bay root. than thanks for joining us. reports of air strikes to try to take back this dam from isis. followed by a ground assault. what's your reaction to this development? >> pretty inevitable. i'm surprise it had didn't happen before. i think everybody is learning the lesson of leaving these islamist militant extremist groups to develop and grow on their own over months and years as happened early in iraq after the american invasion and then laettner syria so people are reacting much more coherently and the battles, the fighting and military action on the ground has to be connected with the two or three other component, the new government in iraq trying to redefine kurdish and non-kurdish/iraqi relationships and the action at the security council yesterday, the action to take measures against people funding the islamist state so four or five things happening simultaneously which are all positive developments. the american air power being used is a dangerous element that hopefully will be limi

and i live off of that square and went to school because the american university in cairo was just off of tigress square and a lot of egyptian student franz, hung out together and went to films together and talked about the future so in january of 2011 thousands and thousands, ultimately hundreds of thousands of young people came to tahrir square and occupied it, they had tends, some of them just didn't leave, started putting up placards, hosni mubarak, please resign, we need a shower. when they did that, i recognized them as sons and daughters of people i had gone to school with and i had followed the arab world, so i felt a certain affinity to them and was very interested in what they had to say, because it was different from the ones i had known in the early 70s. it was the time of romanticism that of the old 1960s, we were talking personal dignity pan and transparent elections. i don't think transparent elections was the main talking point of most people in the arab world in nearly 70s. a lot of people at that time wanted a man on horseback like the great egyptian nationalist leade
