blacks, latinos, women and the young. >> angela, to your point, it is-- and let me get in a question here because we've got a limited amount of time. >> sure. >> jamie: then of course you have president obama who said the 80,000 jobs last month is still moving in the right direction, but he acknowledges, angela, and chris, that more work still needs to be done and that means congress has to get off its apathy as well. >> apathy. >> jamie: and move with the transportation bill. >> well, the transportation bill will be helpful, but it's not going to be the bang we need. what we need is the passage of the president's jobs bill and teachers and firefighters and police officers back to work. and what we're seeing right now in this country is a contraction of public sector workers, where most of the jobs losses are coming from. >> christopher the policy-- >> the private sector adding jobs, but the manufacturing sector growing like never before. >> and if you don't recall, when nancy pelosi was speaker of the house, we did pass a 26 billion dollar bill to help with state workers, with firem

>> hi, my name is angela. is me in elementary school. as you can see from my size, my mom would feed me as much as i wanted. i could eat a whole box of macaroni and cheese for lunch. as an adult, i liked eating alone in front of the television. i ate to numb my feelings and relax. i didn't care about my size or my health. at 26, i lost 100 pounds, but i gained it back four years later. after that, i gave up. if i couldn't keep the weight off, what was the point? my family and friends encouraged me to exercise, but their efforts only frustrated me. at 42, i reached 336 pounds. i was super morbidly obese. i suffered from arthritis and i had trouble walking up and down the stairs. so i began again. i found spark people.com and tracked my nutrition and exercise. in one year i lost 160 pounds and discovered a passion for whitewater kayaking. only a tiny fraction of people who lose the weight manage to keep it off, and i am determined to be one of them. >> great story. >> let's check in with our leader of the joy fi

i adisagree with angela. a tax cut for the first $250,000 of income under the current plan. >> jamie: no matter. >> if you make a million dollars you get the tax cut for the percent $250,000. it is a tax cut for everyone. the question is what do you do when you make above $250,000. it is -- i understand that the republicans feel it is a tax cut by letting these expire. i get that, angela. >> tax increase. >> we have an economic problem in the country not enough money to go around and deficits exploding a and we can't keep giving billionaires and millionaires extra money that they are not spending. >> if we don't extend the tax cuts you are going to have investors that are not going to invest. companies lay people off. that means more people will get on the federal dollar. we need more money in the government to tay packs. >> jamie: that point that you are making to me it is that simple. if you take it out of one pocket and you put it in the other you really haven't netted thick out of it and more people won't

for angela merkel, a peaceful resolution means the syrian president should step down. >> the best outcomeould be a governing power in syria are arrived at peacefully that would perform a conciliatory function -- the governing power in syria are arrived at peacefully. it is important to achieve that through dialogue, and at the moment, that is very difficult. >> there are fears the growing violence in syria could spill over into lebanon. a number of clashes have already been recorded along the border. lebanon is doing everything possible to fix it. >> the chancellor has asked a lot of questions about the region as well as lebanon. i have assured her that the situation in lebanon is stable. >> on that, germany says it can help. it has promised to help boost security along lebanon's border with syria by offering training and technical assistance. >> there is renewed disagreement between germany and syria's ally russia over how to handle the syrian president. >> after talks with his german counterpart in moscow, the russian prime minister revealed his country had turned down a german proposal

angela. you spoke with her on the afternoon of january 4 while you were attending to your -- >> yes, sir. i believe i did and other members of the board. >> can you give us all the names of the people you spoke with during that time period? >> objection. asked and answered. >> no, where i can't. >> i want to say a couple things. mr. wagner, we have a microphone here. i think it would be helpful if you used it to make objections so everybody can hear. is that possible? would you mind moving over there? the second thing is we're now in a very sensitive part of the hearing where we have testimony coming from witnesses, and so we're going to have to be very strict about comments and outbursts from the crowd. i understand you may have -- you may feel like you want to have a reaction, and that's natural. but i would ask you to restrain yourself, because it is important that the we have silence and can focus on the witness and question. if there is an outburst, i am asking that they be removed from

it is also in the business wing of angela merkel's own central right cdu party. >> thanks very much. or an example of what is at stake as the global climate changes, we visited mauritania. 80% of the country is desert, and that figure is growing year by year. >> long droughts are killing off what little vegetation there is, and entire villages are on the verge of being swallowed by the ever-expanding sand. >> abdullah is trying to get his house out from the stand that has gathered overnight, but this daily battle against nature is hopeless -- get his house out from the sand that has gathered overnight. many in his village have already recognized this fact and moved away. >> the village population is getting smaller and smaller. everyone who does not have access to a tractor is moving to the city. the struggle against the sand is daily, and people just do not feel up to the task. >> the main destination for villagers fleeing the countryside. the consequences are dramatic, and -- and intensifying housing shortage and slums popping up everywhere -- an intensifying how is it -- housing s

good morning. >> reporter: a lot has been made about the bumpy ride that angela merkel will get. there's more of a debate going on, the social democrats the opposition has to begin posturing to position itself to next year's elections because at the moment they kind of slinking behind angela merkel's position. it won't change the vote. a lot of confusion. unjustifiably because i've never thought there was any need for confusion about direct bank aid to the banks, circumventing the sovereign or the sovereign being liable. we had a discussion with the parliament undersecretary of state and he said quite clearly there is no agreement for direct banking aid to the spanish bank. we have an agreement and he passes on whatever aid there is to the banks. the present agreements that will be the same story under the esm so don't hold your breath for direct banking aid any time in the near future. if we were to get it we would need not only another vote in german parliament, there would have to be a vote in both houses of parliament where they could agree to such a thing at an eu summit. a

the most surprising thing is the extent to which it agrees with angela merkel.or example, in opposing the introduction of eurobonds and also in warning against the european union becoming a transfer union. >> what is the german government's expected response? >> i do not think the german government will react directly to this. the ideas are not new. they belong to mainstream american economic thinking. chancellor merkel is aware of them, of course, and is not convinced by them. far more important is the possible influence of moody's, warning that germany could lose its aaa rating because of its exposure to weak southern european economies. that will strengthen chancellor merkel's resolve not to give any more cash to greasece until it elements reforms. i think there's probably secretly rejoicing about the chancellor's warning because it strengthens her hand against european partners and the likes against -- the likes of george soros who would like to see germany put up more money up front. >> thank you for the analysis. with solvency concerns mounting, business c

angela merkel should recognize that. >> a legislative term is four years in the greek parliament, andven though he turns 90 in september, he is defined he will see the whole time through. >> some say greece could soon also benefit from what was agreed at the eu leaders meeting after long hours of negotiations. a deal was struck but lifted some of the conditions attached when states need money. of course, quick solutions were needed again, but what on -- on what basis did he leaders make that decision? to national parliaments have any say at all anymore? in germany, the issue is being reviewed by the constitutional court. >> the financial crisis threatens banks, and nations livelihoods, and the euro. the crisis keeps flaring up a new with more and more banks driving themselves toward economic ruin. now, the eurozone countries want to stop that and turn the european central bank, the ecb, into a watchdog with powers to shut down ailing banks. >> we have to keep things separate. so you have an independent reserve bank for monetary policy and a banking watchdog that can take tough measure
