real economies elsewhere in europe is that what what what could actually happen to contagion so yes arlen has a problem but could it impacts possibly portugal even more so and eventually even the spain so this is what the market is quite nervous about it's more about the contagion risk rather than just the story by itself. but in terms of the latest bailout talks what might be the action of the currency exchange market. well i think what the what the market wants to see is obviously if there is going to be

. >> reporter: arlene remembers as if it was yesterday the exact date she was diagnosed with lung cancer. october 16th, 1997. >> i was diagnosed with stage 3. >> reporter: in lung cancer, stage 3-a means it's advanced with large tumors which had spread to lymph nodes. >> he said unfortunately statistics, it becomes a 30% chance of survival because it had spread. >> reporter: arlene is among the increasing number of women being diagnosed with lung cancer while the rate of lung cancer among men drops. according to a study by a massachusetts hospital, women make up 60% of lung cancer cases among non-smokers. evidence suggests women may be more sensitive than men to carcinogens in cigarettes and secondhand smoke and the female hormone estrogen may elevate a woman's risk for lung cancer. a doctor, the sister of dana reed who died of lung cancer shortly after her hub, christopher reeves passed away. >> a young, vital, healthy, person with a good diet, who comes up with stage 4 lung cancer in their early 40s. it's the largest women's cancer. and it's the least funded, it's the least -- you know

the thing about you, arlene, you are a strong woman. ever seen you, you've been incredibly strong. you helped me be strong when i needed to be. >> you helped me a lot, believer me. >> mutual deal. >> brought the rest of them with me. >> mr. beckwith, when the president got on the pile of rubble with you and put his arm around you and said soon the rest of the world will hear from us -- >> that put us right back, a lot of us wanted to get back to work looking for these guys. we did. it was some speech. short and right to on the point. it was beautiful. >> sean: andy you were there that moment. no one will ever forsget the image of you leaning over to the president. i saw him reaction and your reaction. >> i made a conscious decision not to invite a comment or question. i passed on two facts and made an editorial comment and stepped back so he couldn't ask me a question. >> sean: from that moment forward you had to make series of decisions. you wanted to get to washington as quickly as you can. >> i did. card led the charge to prevent me

explains why arlen small economy could become a big problem. it may not be a big economy because it still have quite a big impact with the european economy as a whole and really what it comes down to is that conditions in our own got a lot worse from a financial market perspective you know what it could mean for the real economies elsewhere in europe is that what could actually happen to continue so it's yes arlen that was a problem but it could be impacts possibly portugal even more so and eventually in the spring so this is what the market is quite nervous about it's more about the contagion risk rather than just our story by itself. now let's take a look at the equity markets european stocks are mixed on wednesday following the fall of asia and wall street the footsie is flat to negative after tumbling nearly two and a half percent on tuesday and make concerns about ireland's debt problem and that china could be about to raise interest rates industrials and financials are lending support to the dax in frankfurt. and here in moscow markets ar

but my my guess would be it's likely to be a short term situation for arlen because i believe that they will be forced to take bailout money and that will put them back probably bar in portugal in terms of the country being most most closely kitty to support put this in perspective the talks about the e.u. failing what does that mean if that does happen what does that mean to the people of europe the economies of europe what are the actual implications there. well i mean this is this is the problem the not only found in europe at the moment sadly you know all the countries the enormous debt. u.s. u.k. all the euro zone countries it's difficult to say but i think that we. would be in agreement something's got to get there needs to be some kind of clearing of the decks so that the capital markets can get themselves back into sounder footing so i would certainly sort of try and be a little bit less alarmist and say well in a way some kind of restructuring is needed because at the moment it's a sort of quixotic venture of tilting at windmills with very little actually happening to improve t

the way the markets looking at this but my guess would be it's likely to be a short situation for arlen because i believe that they will be forced to take bailout money and that will put them back probably bar in portugal in terms of the country being looked at most most closely. mad now learned leyland from a london based investment company their own financial analyst max kaiser says arlen should seek help from the institutions responsible for its demise. unless ireland's willing to give up its sovereignty unless ireland is going to become a debt slave unless ireland wants its affairs conducted by the i.m.f. and the i.m.f. everywhere they've gone they've they've brought destruction and economic mayhem you know they're licking their chops waiting to get in there to cause havoc pay themselves a huge freeze give bonuses to their college array of crony capitalists and terrorist bankers and ireland is quaking in its boots and the government unfortunately in our lives not standing up for the people it's abdicated its role as representative of the people the i.m.f. and the e.u. and the e.c.b.

our land is further in debt and will end up owing more creditors many more billions ultimately for arlen to solve the problems that she faces she needs to exit the euro she needs to have her own currency once again and she needs to be able to take the sort of steps that we've seen other countries in a similar situation straight. jacket also go argentina found itself in a similar situation where they were linked by the folly of their politicians to the dollar they are now doing pretty well because they were able to break that link until alan is able to exit the euro i'm afraid this is just throwing good money after bad government so of course they're helping a friend in need ok let's look at the broader picture. portugal and spain could everyone saying be next in line what is the future of the eurozone if he continues to buy off every failed economy like this. well i mean first warnings are an important point to make it's in britain's interests that our land and the other members of the euro zone prosper but in order to allow them to prosper keeping them a locked up in this monetary cage

tea party embraced republican against joe sestak, a retired rear admiral and congressman who beat arlen specter in the primary and now we see 50-50 in that race with 94% of the precincts reporting. >> democrats and republicans expect this one to be closer than illinois when all the vote is counted. but i will say that some democratic sources don't think they have enough to rack up the score in the counties around philadelphia. those key sub urban counties. runningback the suburbs are are a huge part of this story overall. >> ifill: sns isn't that sestak's home turf? >> it is indeed. montgomery county. but if you take the four color counties in philadelphia itself, sestak reallyneededed to have a margin of 40% or more in that area. they don't know if he's going to be able to hold that kind of big margin. the rest of the state is where the republican pat toomey picked up the vote. >> two interesting points. one in pennsylvania the republicans are winning the governorship. you can't discount that as having a fact or the senate. >> ifill: that's already been declared. >> as david has pointe

the fact is that arlen specter was probably not as strong of a candidate as the tea party backed pattoomey. so you're wrong, steve. >> well, no, i mean it depends on his states. so pennsylvania. >> well of course, everything depends on the state. but a blue state. a blue state where the winger -- the winger -- >> chris, each one of these states is going to have -- it's own unique circumstances. >> yeah. >> in a republican red state a tea party candidate who gets nominated could actually win, but in a republican red state, like lisa murkowski's the republican senator can step out. and can be elected anyway. it wouldn't work. but in utah it might. >> look at what's happening in utah you make a good point there. according to a recent mason-dixon poll out there among registered voters, always a tricky number. registered voters probably make sense a lot of people vote. if hatch's re-election held now 40% said that they'd vote to re-elect him. 48% said to dump him for someone else. and 12% said no, no. that's not a great re-elect number, 40%. >> it's not a great number but also an irreleva

joe sestak, how he beat arlen specter was one of those ads that he used when, you know, arlen specter said i changed party to get re-elected, that played over and over again. that kind of thing really had an effect in the primary. >> lehrer: back to what tim kaine and haley barbour had to say. susan, haley barbour confirmed and believes or said that this election really is a referendum on obama and obama policies. do all of your reporting and the pol reflect that to be the case. >> when you look at house races that's definitely the case. we've seen a nationalized election when it comes to house races. despite the attempts of democrats and a lot of democratic candidates to make it a choice between me and the other person, i think that's... republicans have succeeded in large part this year by having a very consistent narrative against the obama administration, against nancy pelosi, against the actions of the democratic congress, and have made it a referendum on what they've done. voters are speaking in a big way that they're not happy with those steps that they've taken. >> lehrer: bar

consultants, bernita davis and i think you had your whole staff participate as a comprehensive process with arlen, tommy, carolyn and your ever steady general manager harrington. we've seen him at all kinds of hearings. the board of supervisors, almost three or four hearings, including land use yesterday was another hearing. this is really a product of a really tremendous process. some of the highlights -- and i actually didn't check to see if the executive summary included an idea that came up that supervisor sophie maxwell had really locked on to which was that when community benefits are allocated out of projects costs and project investments, that the portion that's going to go in the community benefits would be allocated pursuant to a fund that c.b.o.'s and nonprofits apply to with their projects and proposals they kind of r.f.p. into. this is something we saw with the south market stabilization fund which was the community benefits package that came out of the rincon center i want to say supervisor chris daly allocated. and they went in and made the proposals and was graded by an independen

that is a democratic seat that was held by arlen specter. >> a democrat. >> lehrer: he was defeated by sestak. toomey, not a tea party republican. an establishment republican. >> well, there was part of the.... >> lehrer: explain. >> for growth is a free market group that predated the tea party but way was running candidates against establishment republicans on similar grounds i guess i could say. >> their obsession is taxes. i mean, they require their candidates to take a no tax pledge. that they back. >> lehrer: the other one of course coming is illinois which is also considered a toss-up. of course that's president obama's old seat. >> that would have been the twin tragedy as well. if the vice president's seat in delaware had gone down to the republicans tonight, which it hasn't. and then the president's seat in illinois which has been occupied by roland burris where alexei giannoulias ran against mark kirk. it's a toss-up race. the people i talked to in the last couple of days felt that kirk had a slight edge going in. >> lehrer: i gave an overview a minute ago on the house. those

is arlen on the brink?estors are unloading irish bonds in droves, a strong signal that little confidence that ireland will be able to pay its debt. on thursday, the yield for irish bonds and shot up to 9%. analysts say dublin will probably have to ask the eurozone for a bailout, just as greece did. >> as the european winter looms, temperatures in ireland are falling. but on the international financial markets, things are heating up. investors are demanding record interest rates of up to 9% from the irish government to refinance its mountain of debt. the country's chief anchor is realistic. >> we will never get back to the yields that we had before the crisis in to thousand five and 2006. because the crisis has exposed the scale of the risks can -- that can be involved, and investors will want to be compensated. >> it is not just ireland that is affected. a debt crisis pattern is emerging. first, interest rates for greek government bonds shot up. when eu civic, there is temporary relief. now they are upping

there's pressure for arlen to take a bailout. connolly explains how that could affect the u.s.. >> you can see a precipitous slowdown in any kind of growth rate in europe that's the slowing of economy, slows down exports and slows down jobs so affects americans because we export to europe. >> years rumors about didn't slow down the economy to china. >> we have a lot of american companies that selling a lot of goods in china, building plants in china if china's growth slows our growth slows. we see worries that this before they didn't pan out. he thinks this is just a hiccup. christine conley kron 4 news. >> sunny but cooler out there today with temperatures widespread in the '70s. today's highs 79 santa rosa, 70 this san francisco, 74 conquered these temperatures 5 to 10 degrees cooler than what was out there yesterday. as the sun goes down temperatures will core rapidly right now 66 san francisco, 65 oakland, 70 in antioch, a look at will or expecting to buy into tomorrow. he'll notice it will be a cooler evening out there tonig

said today that the crew arlen's our japanese territory and said he hopes that the russian leadership will take this into account when planning further trips to the kuril islands could you please comment on that leads hard for me to add anything to what i already said on the issue with you. there may be no advice on this subject given to us by others the russian president and myself gave detailed explanations on this issue if you can't understand our explanations just read them again you can see everything there is this is our land and the president of the russian federation doesn't have to consult with anyone when choosing a region of the russian federation for his troops. it would alter the instant the book's interfax news agency mr lever of my question is for you to day israeli foreign minister these really foreign minister gave an interview to our edge she said that the middle east quartet said should stop its mediator efforts and leave this to just tell of the palestinians and israel who could you please comment on that as well i haven't seen this statement because i have been bu

arlen specter from pennsylvania, the word to describe arlen is courage. the or word is survivor. and they both go together. arlen has had a distinguished career from his youngest days. he was a member of the warren commission investing president kennedy's assassination. his work has spanned the entire mark. one of the things i appreciate both about senator specter is work on constitutional law in if i feel. senator -- constitutional law in philadelphia. senator voinovich has been a mayor and legislator. for years of attention, issues involving federal employees that most of us were too busy to pay attention to. there have been four members appointed to the senate -- that's quite a number -- who are retiring. senator kaufman of delaware has been a great teacher, a staff member and now senator. senator lemieux of florida who has made his focus balancing the budget and controlling the debt. we haven't heard the last of george lemieux, i'm sure, in politics. senator burris of illinois, a state comptroller, his own man who has completed an outstanding career in public service by being

the euro has again come perilously close to sinking as arlen's economy teeters on the brink of collapse even leaders are now looking at ways of saving the irish banking system which is seen best as fleet doubling repeatedly denied it was in serious trouble insisting it have enough cash to last until at least next year portugal and spain want to add in to accept the multi billion euro betty that i missed or come to the markets critics say are and is being forced into a corner economists agree. on and can fund itself but now. it's quite clear that britain as well as other european countries right now are trying to almost force upon island some sort of an agreement that is going to extend their access to capital. after the second year in the second half of next year when island is going to run into liquidity problems contra so it's we have to see it's going to go that way islander saying right now that doesn't need the money and it's correct in the sense that it doesn't have a liquidity problem right now but. but that's that's for now and we are probably going to see a different picture go
