>> that bad. the operative word here is overlooked. we don't realize how important sleep is to our well being. we feel tired but most folks watching don't realize it dramatically increases the chance of high blood pressure and related heart disease. it weakens your immune system so you can't fight off viruses but you also get more cancers and it shortens life expectancy. it's a big deal. >> you were writing about this in this article for "parade" magazine about to come out and specifically about obesity. what is the link between lack of sleep and obesity? >> the human brain craves four things, food or water. it craves sex. and it craves sleep. if you don't get enough of one you'll crave more of the other. so in "parade" i'm talking about a brand new proof of this case. one instance they took people sleep deprived and showed they lit up like fireworks in parts that control hunger. if you don't sleep well you'll crave food especially carbohydrates. >> so it really is something that happens to our brain that is almost impossible to control. >> you won't be able to control it. you cannot beat the biology. if you don't sleep you'll crave carbohydrates and gain weight. >> you have some interesting and very unique ways we can sort of counteract the problems getting sleep. first of all you say we need to chill out and by that you mean lowering the temperature in our bedroom. >> the worse you sleep the colder it should be in the room. start off about 68 degrees. you can get down to 62, 63 degrees by the time you're done. there is one catch here. folks cannot sleep when their feet are cold. matt complains about this all the time on the air. but cold feet will awaken you. get some socks, put them on before you go to bed, then cool the temperature down in the room as much as possible. some people see their breath before they go to bed but it will help you. >> interesting. also you say put electronics away. even when they're near your head it's a problem because it emits a kind of light or blue light that creates a problem. >> there are two factors actually. it turns out that independent of the light having the phone on near your head will worsen the quality of the sleep again. you still sleep but you won't have the kind of deep, restorative sleep. so any cell phone you have needs to be at least five feet away. a body length away from your head when you go to bed. >> five feet. >> the most easy thing to do. more than an arm's length away. that way it won't affect the way your brain puts you to sleep. >> you say we want to include orange light? >> any blue light like a phone would emit but also the light in your house, a computer screen, will keep you awake. you want orange lights because orange lights mimic what happens when the sun goes down. that turns on the creation of melatonin in the brain. by doing that you'll effortlessly slip into the deep sleep you want. >> thanks for letting me cough. you do however say we need to think about using herbal remedies rather than pills and how we use these herbal remedies is important. >> a lot of folks have written off melatonin, as i described earlier it is turned on by orange light. it can be taken as a supplement but take it in a low dose. probably half the dose you normally take and early in the evening. remember it's just a couple hours from when the sun sets to when you fall asleep. take it right after dinner. take one milligram, and then that will allow you to effortlessly sleep. if that doesn't work try valarium root. you can get it in a tea form. >> with my coughing maybe that's a good idea. you say you can take in too much melatonin and be counteractive and make you not sleep? >> it will inhibit your ability to naturally slide into sleep. you want to take a lower dose and give time for your stomach to absorb the melatonin and get it up to your brain. that natural process will happen but it takes two or three hours. again, most americans think about it too late, think about it at dinner you'll fall asleep better at night. >> the tea helped my cough. thank you so much. >> i knew i could do it. >> by the way, i don't let the lack of sleep and being here every morning be an excuse for not showing up. we really love having you here. >> you are very kind and cheer me up. >> i am so glad. by the way, he's also dedicating his entire show on monday to sleep. >> we're almost at a million people. sleep is one of the big episodes. it's on monday. more important, go to dr. oz.com and take advantage of it. it's all yours to make yourself better. >> check your local listings. >>> coming up next the president shows off his singing voice. hum. ♪ this is $100,000. we asked total strangers to watch it for us. thank you so much, i appreciate it, i'll be right back. they didn't take a dime. how much in fees does your bank take to watch your money ?

is there an end date to this? and the frustration of not having these is too much to bear. >> now the school district says the high school building is safe and that students are not at risk. some of the girls have improved, matt, but not everyone has. >> all right. amy robach thank you very much. we have the vice president of the dent institute in buffalo, new york. ten of the girls of under his care. good morning. some of the girls are improving? >> correct. >> how much improvement have you seen? >> some have gone back to school. some of the improvement has been significant. some of the individuals are plateaued at this point. >> you were saying that the diagnosis here is these girls are suffering from a mass psychogenic illness. what exactly is that? >> well, it's a disorder that occurs in small groups especially in young girls in schools in small towns. and what happens is that one individual so-called the index case which means one person may have a neurological disorder. >> like a conversion disorder. >> or a conversion disorder. then all of a sudden several other young ladies have similar symptoms. >> what it sounds like to someone who is not well versed in this is that the others are copying the first and thus people say they're faking it. you say that is not at all the case. >> that is definitely not the case. this is a subconscious effect that occurs in patients with -- who may be prone to anxiety or mood disorders but this is definitely real symptoms. >> is it inappropriate to use the word that it spreads within the group in i mean, that makes it sound like an infectious disease. >> it sounds like an infectious disease but should not be perceived as one. the state health department made a complete review of the air quality, mold, and everything was negative. we do not think this is an infectious cause. >> you're in agreement with that that this is not environmental or infection. >> i am in agreement. >> there have been cases of this in the past though i know this is rare. what have been some of the examples? >> it goes back 600 years. in the last 100 years most of the cases have occurred in either factories, schools, or nunneries. this is in the literature. it's been poorly evaluated because it is very rare. but when it does occur it is very important for us to be knowledgeable in this because, you know, the old term for this is mass hysteria which we don't like to use. i think mass psychogenic illness is more appropriate. >> hysteria has a negative connotation. >> exactly. the point is these young ladies have real symptoms. they are truly affected. >> but will also get better. >> will get better. >> why is it only affecting girls? >> that's a good question. historically it's been often seen in young ladies but it is seen in men. there have been army barracks with just men involved so it's -- part of it could be hormonal and the fact that young teenage girls are more prone to anxiety. >> if you could give one piece of advice or nugget of information to the many parents who have contacted us and other facilities looking, first of all, worried about this, and looking for more information, what would it be? >> well, i think they're under the care of dr. mcvieg and myself at the dent institute. we have a good relationship with the patients and their families. i like to reassure the community this is not an infectious disease. that it's not contagious. these are real symptoms. these young ladies will get better. we have to give them time and space. >> doctor, thank you very much for your time this morning. i appreciate it. >>> up next, he said/she said. bill and guliana rancic weigh in on pressing issues between the sexes and share the latest on her recovery from breast cancer surgery right after this. ♪ mountain-grown aroma coming through ♪ ♪ a new challenge waits for you ♪ ♪ ♪ jumpin' into something new ♪ you really see all you can do ♪ ♪ ♪ the best part of wakin' up ♪ is folgers in your cup chili's lunch break combos are full of delicious choices, starting at just 6 bucks. choose from savory favorites or our new philly cheesesteak sandwich. layers of shaved steak and grilled peppers served with fries and a tasty soup or salad. chili's lunch break combos. a deep, throbbing, persistent ache. my doctor diagnosed it as fibromyalgia -- thought to be the result of overactive nerves that cause chronic, widespread pain. lyrica is believed to calm these nerves. i learned lyrica can provide significant relief from fibromyalgia pain. and for some people, it can work in as early as the first week of treatment. so now, i can do more of the things i enjoy. lyrica is not for everyone. lyrica may cause serious allergic reactions or suicidal thoughts or actions. tell your doctor right away if you have these, new or worsening depression, or unusual changes in mood or behavior, or any swelling or affected breathing or skin, or changes in eyesight including blurry vision, or muscle pain with fever or tired feeling. common side effects are dizziness, sleepiness, weight gain and swelling of hands, legs, and feet. don't drink alcohol while taking lyrica. don't drive or use machinery until you know how lyrica affects you. with less pain, i'm feeling better now that i found lyrica. ask your doctor if lyrica is right for your fibromyalgia pain.

which sex is the better driver? guliana and bill rancic are stars of the reality tv show called "guliana and bill" and are here to tackle these topics and more and also the authors of the book "i do now what?" secret stories and advice from a madly in love couple. good morning, guys. >> good morning. >> now that you are published authors. >> yes, yes. >> there are a couple topics that are developing this week. number one there is a story in the london papers that for just $8 you can actually hire a guy to break up your relationship for you. you're shaking your head saying yes. what do you say? >> no. >> this is so ridiculous. you need someone to break up your relationship? i mean, to me that is the lowest of the low. if a guy has to hire someone to break up the relationship it's like was your mom not available to do it for you? >> it's a great business model. think about this. supply and demand. this guy is busier than ever. i have a buddy in high school. it took him three years to break up with this girl because he was afraid of her father. he could have paid $8 and this guy would have taken care of it for him. >> that is ridiculous. you need to man up and do it yourself. you have to do your own dirty work. imagine the girl, how she feels. then when she finds out it only costs eight bucks? i mean, you have to feel awful. >> people have a hard time taking no for an answer. when you bring the hit man in they get the picture. >> let's move on. this is kind of ridiculous. let's move on to something a little more serious. a new survey by the american psychological association shows that women continue to be more stressed out than men. agree or disagree? >> i completely agree with that. >> disagree. >> women are busier than ever. come on, bill. women are busier than ever. we're taking care of the kids and our husband like we always have done but also working longer hours and we're trying to maintain our friendships. we're on facebook. we're shopping online. we just fill our days with more tasks than we ever have before. of course we're stressed. >> that is precisely why men are more stressed. women are taking on more. you're on facebook. we're tending to the kids, car pooling, coaching. gone are the days of father knows best when men would show up and a martini and dinner is waiting. when i show up i have laundry waiting. >> you're saying you're more stressed out than your father was not more than women. what is your argument there? >> men are taking on more than women these days. now it's not just the provider. we are coaching the teams, doing the car pooling, cooking. >> he does have a point. but the reason they're having to do that is because the economy is in the toilet. we're working longer hours. we're working more than ever having to contribute more financially to the family unit. so it's not a choice where we necessarily want to do. you know, a lot of us would like to be at home. >> women are better at expressing their feelings and men tend to bottle things up. that's why women are more stressed. you can share that easier. >> you're saying they've seen more stress. >> they vocalize it more. >> that is a good point. that's why we tell you communicate. just talk to us. >> okay. >> how do you feel? >> exactly. men don't do that enough. >> it's hard for them. i think for a lot of reasons. >> yes. >> there is a new study that hits close to home because it's out of canada suggesting delaying parenthood can have serious consequences not only for women but also for men as well. >> right. >> you want to take this? >> i know a thing or two about this. we waited until i was 35 and bill was 38 to start trying to have a baby and my doctor told me, hey listen. you're not like you were at 25 years old. so can i look back and kind of regret the decisions i made in my 20s? should i maybe have frozen my eggs or done something differently? no. at the time i did what was right for me. in my 20s i was busy chasing my career and not chasing guys. that was a decision i made. >> right. >> what about -- >> some of the guys weren't worthy of being chased. >> first of all you haven't seen his ex-girlfriends. >> i think where men and women differ on this is women typically wait for mr. right. they wait for the right man. men wait for the right time. men want to be financially stable before they bring a woman and start a family and i think that's delaying this whole process because things are different now. >> i think the point is, you know, okay. it's a small risk that something is going to happen if you wait later in life but it depends. are you willing to take that risk? i think if you talk to people in their 20s a lot of them are willing to take that risk. >> i noticed just at this moment bill put his arm around you which was very sweet. >> i thought he took off his wedding ring. >> no he did not. >> okay good. i wasn't paying attention. >> last major point, another new study says women are actually better drivers than men. you want to take this one? >> well i think the numbers are flawed a little bit. >> what? what makes you a scientist? >> men spend more hours behind the wheel. we see more professionals. taxi cab drivers, truck drivers. when we go to dinner i drive more. so of course with more hours behind the wheel i've got a bigger chance of getting a ticket or getting into a car accident. >> come on. all in all women are less emotional than men. we don't suffer from road rage quite like men do. you know, we just want to get from a to b safely whereas men if someone cuts them off, you know, they have a point to prove. >> i've seen a lot of women with a lot of road rage. >> by the way, it's great to see you looking so well. >> thank you. >> thanks so much for joining us this morning. thanks, ann. >> we're back after your local news we think. >> live, local, latebreaking. this is wbal-tv 11 is today in baltimore. >> good morning. i am mindy basara. let's get a final check on the morning commute with traffic pulse 11 and sarah caldwell. shipping up to be a pretty price commute. this one is off to the side on moravia road. tapping the brakes a bit from the particular region towards the harrisburg expressway. if you want to head out on the west side, 18 miles per hour. we are clearing this accident. everything starting to flow smoothly through that area. here's an update on the j.f.x. that is the pace of things approaching northern parkway. all volume-related delays. here is what it looks like on a dulaney valley coming towards us on the outer loop. a little sluggish there. over to you, john. >> sunny skies now, clouds to our west, a new storm coming in tonight and tomorrow morning. obie's now, some of it will be eight -- some of it will be snow, some of it will be a wintry mix with sleep. let's look at the forecast for today. clouds this afternoon and evening. hydrometer 35 to 40 degrees -- high temperatures 35 to 40 degrees. >> another update at 8:55. >>> 8:30 now on a friday morning, january 20, 2012. a nice crowd on the plaza this morning. some of these people huddled together because even since we've been on the air the temperatures have dropped, started a little over 30. we're down to 26 degrees and breezy here in rockefeller plaza. i'm matt lauer with natalie morales and al roker. ann had to leave a little early this morning. she'll be back on monday. meanwhile coming up in this half hour we're actually going to talk to someone you mentioned in today's trending segment. >> that's right. you saw the video. it's astonishing when you look at it. this is at a texas safari and that happens. a zebra just reaches into the window and bites her and of course she is all shocked there. we'll check in with her in a little bit to see how she's doing. >>> also ahead a lot of families struggle with finding the ability to pay for college education for their children. we have a couple experts in the house this morning. they're going to talk to you about how you can make the most and get the most out of the financial aid system. >>> then from the don't try this at home category we're going to go to the back trails and back ski trails and show you some thrill seeking snowboarders who found a new way to get a big rush. then we'll check out some great homes. >> wow. >> all across the country for $250,000. >> sounds good. >>> before we get to that how about a check on the weather?

atlantic city. >> in atlantic city. and kennedy himself had been somewhat of a pine near of using television for campaigning. brought a great boost to his campaign. he worked with it. he was also a fan of him. he liked to watch a lot of films as he liked to read a lot. he also very early on embraced what would now be essentially called reality tv. because he had invited during the campaign a film maker named robert drew to come and film behind the scenes what was going on during his campaign. and he invited him back in the summer of 19643 to take a view of the civil rights crisis in alabama with george wallace. and so kennedy himself had a very strong sense of how technology at this point it was color tv, might play into an election, how it might be seen as new, as part of the new generation, as part of a hopeful 1960s. and in he is in great detail minding out this is the type of thing that we should be showing at the convention, this is the people who should be producing it. >> the latest recordings from the kennedy library. david coleman keeping these at the miller center at the university of virginia. caller: i can answer the last caller's question. the reason why kennedy was murdered was because of the certain secret societies that they had here. there is a treaty of 1783 that was made between the english empire and the united states. that's why today america they say it's the united states but it's not. guest: host: another theory. thank you. let's go back to some of the recordings. and this is again the same conversation that president kennedy was having in october of 1963. a young carol line and jack kennedy can be heard in the background. >> let me clarify what we just heard was president kennedy talking about his trip to texas and trying to schedule something for either friday the 29th and saying no he's going to be at the cape. instead, he needed to do it on that tuesday which ebbeded up being the day of his funeral. guest: that's right. this is the last batch of kennedy tapes and they go up to within a few days of his assassination. and as you would expect he is planning ahead. he is trying to schedule things for the next week, trying to change his schedule to be more manageable and these provide a very poignant view of the the president and the the presidentsy at this point. at the time it was fairly mund dane scheduling issues. but the poigsy is added because we know what happened after that. host: we'll go to charlie next in west virginia. good morning. caller: good morning. my question is was there anything revealed in the tapes that have been reviewed by mr. col lynn that would suggest that there indeed was a concern on the part of president kennedy of secret societies in america? guest: i have seen nothing on that particular topic. not on the tapes. host: back to his health issue because we have a viewer who has tweeted in about his back problems. in the recordings any indication that he was in pain? guest: rarely. this was not something he often talked about. there are some unusual short clips where he is for instance talking to the white house doctor about getting some medication sent over and things like that. but no, it's not something that came up very often. it's not something he would often talk about directly. his aides would notice that he was in pain. not something that he would talk about. but not the type of thing he was generally taping. he is choosing what to tape. he is taping for history trying to tape these moments. in general taping meetings or important conversations. he is not in general taping day-to-day life. >> gerald ford ripped out the taping system when he became president. safe to say that it no longer exists? >> safe to say. host: next to thomas joining us from massachusetts. good morning to you. caller: good morning. host: go ahead. caller: i'm calling from kennedy's birth place. and i had a question about if there were any discussions on any tapes or any conversations john kennedy had as president regarding lyndon johnson's role in 1964. guest: i had not heard anything about his role in 1964. johnson does turn up on some of the tapes. he is part of the executive committee of the national security council so he is present in the room for many discussions about the cuban missile crisis. i have had not had a chance to list ton the entire tapes of the discussions about whether there was going to be a roll for lbj or what that role may be. it's entirely possible. it takes a time to list ton these. host: but as you listen to these tapes, do you almost sense -- you're really eevesdropping into a window into this president and his conversations. guest: absolutely. these are very different to the usual type of historical materials trying to deal with j.f.k. or any other president. these are not something written up after the fact and they don't rely on memories of mem worse and stuff like that. these are very real times, so a fly on the wall as it's happening. not trying to explain in retro spect. and so you really are put into the oval office or the cabinet room as the decisions are taking shape. you're not only able to hear what the president is saying but you're able to hear what he is hearing. so what his advisers are saying. the different points of view coming. and he's trying to balance that and trying to form a decision based on that. so they're very different. they're real time. these are unfit filtered this is very raw history and never meant to be made public. these are regarded as private records. they weren't scrubbed or prepared for public release in the sense that kennedy or anyone else was trying to manipulate what was going on. host: virginia beach, virginia. good morning. caller: good morning. i just want to comment on president kennedy's so called heroism on the high seas. it's just amazing to me how the press and our country in turn has followed the press and the kennedy i guess -- well let me get to the point here. how did he get hit by a destroyer on the high seas? it's my understanding that president kennedy had some physical problems that would have prohibited any other man from serving as a lieutenant on a pt boat. host: thanks for call. again dating back to the 19 40's, the pacific war and the p t 109. guest: kennedy did have family connections that hoppede him get into the military at this point. i am not a military person. i do not know the intricacies of the particular action that took place that night so i can't answer that question. but certainly during the 1960 dam pain this war record was por trade very correctly an image that stuck and that has been part of this jfk, that has actually grown in estimation since his presidency for a whole host of reasons. his approval ratings now are much better than they were at the end of his presidency. host: we'll go to dale next. caller: good morning. the thing i remember about kennedy, he was really concerned about inflation. he was constantly fighting the price increases on steel, oil, and even on the automobiles. he said i think he was going to buy all american motor cars. i wonder if romney will run that company then. but if they didn't back down on the price ins increases he was really concerned about inflation. he has most respect of any president i ever voted for was john f. kennedy. >> and george romney was running american motors before he became governor of michigan. >> kennedy did have high profile run-ins with big business during this period and inflation and tax and everything else as you would expect from any president this was something very high on his agenda. in 1962 with the economy not doing so well he was considering all sorts of things about tax cuts and things like that. and there was this big debate going on within the administration about what to do within the economy. things do improve against what the pundits were saying in 1963 that obviously the economy is going to be something very high on any president's agenda. whether or not the economy is going well. it's one of the most complex parts of being president. host: in his latest book math ust writes about the steroids that he was on. he did have a perptull tan but was suffering from addsen's disease. from your research can you answer that? guest: i'm not a medical doctor. i have never heard of his illnesses -- and there were many which were not fully disclosed at the time. we found out much more about them in recent years. i've never heard any of them described as terminal. they were serious, however. and from a very early age, he had suffered through a whole series of illnesses, was not a very healthy person, basically. and he from fairly early on was getting treated with steroids and at the time it was not known what the side effector were and there were all sorts of side effects including depleting his auto immune system making him vulnerable to other illnesses. and i've not heard any described as terminal but they certainly were serious. host: mike on the phone, wisconsin. good morning. kiveraget i really enjoy your research so far. do you have any insight or any knowledge of people in southeast asia, like in vietnam, that perhaps were our friends in world war ii and end up being our enemies at the start and continuation of vietnam? and i'll listen to your comments. it's very interesting. thank you. host: thank for the call. this is of course leading up to u.s. escalation and involvement in vietnam. guest: this is a period where particularly in the summer and fall of 1963 vietnam is one of the top issues the administration is facing. and of course it did not just appear from nowhere. there's been a long history here of sort of changing relationships, changing dynamics between people in southeast asia, leaders in southeast asia and elsewhere with the united states. as kennedy and his advisers are trying to grapple with this through the summer and fall of 1963, they are trying to work out not just who their friends and enemies are but the best place for the united states, what the united states' future in southeast looks like and how to shape that. this pre-dates a lot of the big buildup going ofpblet there was some buildup but hadn't escalated until 1964-1966. and it's only right at the end of president kennedy's presidency when the south vietnamese lareds were assassinated which is regarded as one of the great turge points, some will regard this as the moment of no turning back. this hasn't happened in the summer and fall of 1963. so you hear on the tapes yind trying to shape what the united states policy or what the united states involvement in southeast asia looks like. and there's still at this point choices. >> host: we'll listen to one more recording. this is a hypothetical. if kennedy were alive today he would be in his mid 90s. if you could ask him one question, what would it be? guest: i guess why would you tape? because if he answered that, it would give all sorts a questions about how he viewed history, how he viewed his presidency, how he was viewing things as he was looking forward. and i think if he answered that question, about what were you thinking about in doing that it would answer all sorts of questions about how he thought about the world and his place in it. host: carol 89 and john kennedy junior can be heard in the oval office just a month and a week before john kennedy was assassinated. >> part of the camelot legacy. >> very much. this is just weeks before he was assassinated. and you hear him, you hear john john and caroline being part of the white house. you hear kennedy being a father as well as a president. and of course they're living in the white house, they're living in the workplace. and it's very poignant, of course. john john i believe was three years old, caroline was six and they're talking about the dog that was now their pet and it's poignant. >> if people want to listen to these recordings, where can they go? guest: two places. jfk library.org is the place where the original tapes are. they've got wonderful resources. encourage people to listen. you get a wonderful view of kennedy, his presidency. the miller center web site as i where i work as well. we've got a whole lot of other materials related to the u.s. presidency. host: thank you very much for your time and perspective and putting these latest recordings into context. guest: my pleasure. >> host: when we come back we'll turn our attention to the situation in syria, a developing story over the weekend, many saying there could be more turmoil and strife, the potential of civil war. an expert of the region, former state department official as the "washington journal" continues in just a moment. of course politics dominating the sunday morning conversations. and we air all of the programs on c-span radio beginning at noon eastern time and nancy keeping track of all of that. . . >> at 3:00 p.m., state of the union, a republican presidential candidate and texas congressman ron paul. also floor republic as governor rick scott and senate minority leader mitch mcconnell. at 4:00 p.m., face the nation from cbs. dnc chairwoman debbie wasserman schultz, and rnc chairman reince priebus. also allen west. california five tv talk shows begin at noon eastern time with meet the press, abc's this week, fox news sunday, state of the union, and face the nation from cbs. listen to them all on c-span radio, listen on your iphone, a nationwide on xm satellite radio channel 119. listen online anywhere at c- span.org. >> we take you live to the candid events leading up to the tuesday gop primary. >> our young people are very humanitarian, concerned about global warming and things of that nature. they are concerned about humanity. how can they not understand that if they take one of these drugs being smuggled in this country, that they are partially responsible for deaths? i want them to understand that tens of thousands of people being killed by virtue of drug use in this country. it is time for the united states of america to take responsibility bear for the pain and suffering and torture and murder going on throughout latin america. we're not a good example in this regard and that must change. if i am president, i will campaign aggressively to our young people, stop taking drugs because were killing people. >> hugo chÁvez says openly and publicly that he is our enemy. i am prepared to accept that. [laughter] [applause] there have been -- in administration filled with embarrassment, there have been few more embarrassing than when president obama met them and attempted to be pleasant. he smiled and handed him an anti-american book. an active delivered contempt. i just think that we need to understand the windchavez and ahmedinejad say that they want to harm the united states, they mean it. we need to take an aggressive strategy, non-military, but aggressive of replacing him and giving the people of that as well the opportunity to live in freedom. >> see what the candidates are posting on social media, along with political reporters and viewers like you. c-span.org. >> "washington journal" continues. host: joining us from princeton as professor anne-marie slaughter, a professor of politics and international affairs. she is a former state department official. the situation in syria and the region. thank you for being with us. guest: my pleasure. host: a couple of developments, arab observers have left syria because of the ongoing and escalating violence in the country. the washington post points out that this is urgency to in 10 months of violence indicating that at 5400 people had died as a result of the violence by syria's president bashar assad. the u.n. is taking it up again. put all this into perspective. guest: in many ways we may be heading at least for the beginning of the endgame. the syrian government has been steadily shedding people in the streets for 10 months. but in relatively small numbers, relatively only on the world scale, 20 here, 30 there. and now so that it is repressing opposition but has not triggered massive calls for intervention. that is now changing. they are escalating the violence and they have been escalating it with arab monetarists in country. -- arab monitors in country. the arab league pulled out its monitoring mission because the violence was increasing this week. there is also violence in the suburbs in damascus and aleppo, that two cities that have been strong supporters of the government. at the same time, the arab league is now going to the united nations and saying we need a resolution that endorses a political way out, assad steps down and a national unity is formed and that there are elections. we have a political track, we have escalating violence, we have a sense that this cannot go on. and finally, we still have russia, a very strong supporter for president assad, arming his government saying that they would veto any effort to pass a resolution that would have him step down. host: there was a roadside bomb killing soldiers by opponents of the syrian leader. also the associated press report in this moment -- this morning that the syrian military going on the offensive, trying to tamp down the demonstrators and the violence that has been in suing. guest: exactly. the other factor here is that a free syrian army, an army composed of the factors from government forces, has been growing steadily, not in huge numbers, but steadily growing. they are protecting civilian demonstrators. what is not clear is whether they are also planting bombs like the one that just went off. sometimes their suggestions that the government is planting bombs to make it look like they are being attacked. what is clear is that the syrian government is deciding that it really does need to escalate the violence to tamp this down with tanks, with troops, and that actually is putting in motion the outside chance that on the part of the arab league in the western countries that we cannot stand by and let this continue. host: what about russia? you indicated that they are standing firm with syria. that complicates the situation at the united nations when it takes up the matter this week. guest: it does. again, the way they the -- the way the assad government has said that this is outside groups trying to destabilize the government, pointing out that the united states has never been friendly to this government, other governments, sunni governments in the region would like to see another government. it says that outside powers are behind the opposition, which i do not think is true. russia is supporting that view and saying, look, this is an effort has in libya to overturn the syrian government. we're not going to put up with that. that is an interference with sovereignty. you're standing with the syrian government. the problem is that if russia will not yield, we are likely to head into full-scale civil war in syria. it would really be disastrous. on one side you have the iranian government supporting assad, the russian government supporting hezbollah and lebanon, and on the other side, other western countries. civil war in syria in the heart of the middle east would be quite disastrous. host: why and how is president assad maintaining his power? guest: syrian politics are enormously complicated. an offshoot of shiaism, he is unable to support a government supported by minorities, but also critically by the merchant class in damascus and aleppo, the big cities. they are senator, but they have benefited under his rule. -- they are sunni, but they have benefited under his rule. many of the protesters are from poor cities who have not benefited from his rule. but assad as the core of support, probably more gaddafi had in libya. assad has been able to portray this as the activities of terrorists and outside forces against a regime that actually does have the support of a certain number of his people. host: of your is saying how was it a civil war when there is so much help from outside forces? one of our questions on our twitter page. how do you respond to that? guest: that is the argument from assad, but this movement started inside syria, back in march with the torture of a number of children who had scrawled graffiti on walls. there are one of the -- in danaa, one of the syrian cities. there was no outside -- knows outside help for those coordinating committees. as a group, turkey has provided some -- as it grew, turkey has provided some help to the opposition, but this is a homegrown syrian revolution by people who want the same rights that people across the middle east want. and as it has escalated, other countries are looking at the prospect of civil war and worrying deeply about what could happen. but the origins are not far and inspired. certainly not from countries around syria and certainly not from the west. host: our guest is anne-marie slaughter who was co-authored more than half a dozen books including a new world order. as a former state department official and a former dean of the wilson school, and now is at princeton. welcome to the program. caller: dr. slaughter, my question is on iran. the obama administration's policy on iran is puzzling. it is an improvement over the policy of the previous administration. at the rhetorical level, it is quite sensible. on the other hand, one gets the sense that too little time has been the gut -- devoted to actual negotiation. there has been deadline setting and the hurry up nature on the topside, -- talked side, and pushing the sanctions to vigorously. i'll give two or three examples to support my case. one, the administration seems more interested in getting another set of sanctions in place that in moving forward on the turkey-brasil deal, or kneel-deal on enriched uranium. despite some internal discussion, two, the administration has not moved to send americans to our station in tehran, something that would be too large bandage. and three, i see no movement on a agreement on a particular agreement to our military. please comment. host: from mclean, virginia. guest: those are all very good question senate is a complicated situation. president obama started out trying to engage iran, reaching out to the government. the iranian government did not respond and before we could continue that policy, the green revolution broke out, which made it much harder for this administration to negotiate with a government shooting its people on the streets of tehran. since then, we have tried to pursued a dual track policy of sanctions, but also negotiation. we thought we had a deal whereby we would provide fuel for the tehran reactors. they would sheep out -- shipped out some of their fuel. that fell through on the iranian side and in the turks and brazilians created a similar deal, but at that point it looked like the iranians were only doing that to avoid sanctions, something they have done for a long time. we would like to have direct negotiations. they say they want them but then they backed off. at this point, the one fact you did not mention that is very important, the israeli factor. kif we are not pushing iran hard on sanctions and making clear that we have read lines, the israeli government is making it fairly clear that they are likely to take matters into their own hands. in my view, that would be quite disastrous. there are three parties at this table. only two visible, the united states and iran, but one of the big factors behind the pressure tactic is also the need to make sure that israel feels secure enough to not act. host: let me follow-up on all those points and share with you what the president said last tuesday at his annual state of the union address. [video clip] >> as the title for receives -- tide of war proceeds, change washes across africa, and a year ago, gaddafi was one of the longest serving dictators, a murderer with american blood on his hands. today he is gone. in syria, i have no doubt assad regime will soon discover that the forces of change cannot be reversed and that human dignity cannot be denied. we will safeguard america's own security against those who threaten our citizens, our friends, and our interests. but iran. for the power of our diplomacy, all world once divided about how to deal with iran's nuclear program now stands as one. the regime is more isolated than ever before. its leaders are faced with crippling sanctions. as long as they shirk their responsibility, this pressure will not relent. but there be no doubt -- america is determined to prevent iran from getting a nuclear weapon and i will take no options off the table to achieve that goal. at a peaceful resolution of this issue is still possible. at far better. and that iran changes course and meet its obligations, it can rejoin the community of nations. host: and yet there is news this morning from iranian officials saying that the head of the state's oil company predicts that gas prices will go up because the price for carol " will increase up to $150 per barrel as a result of the key u.s. embargo. -- the european union embargo. and then the situation along the straits of hormuz. guest: yes. i point out that the israeli factor, and the domestic political factor on president obama. note that huge applause when he said he would take no options off the table. meaning a military strike is one of those options. and the relatively muted applause when he said a peaceful solution is still possible. he is operating in that context as well. the oil prices, the eu did really agree to sanction or run to cut off its own oil trade. that is a very important step. iran is saying, well, that would drive the prices of oil way up. saudi arabia says, no, it will produce enough to prevent that spike in oil prices. there contending as to whether saudi arabia can do that. but it is in iran's interest to try to convince the world that this is going to upset the global economy. with regard to the state of hormuz -- the strait of hormuz, a run is threatening to close it -- iran is threatening to close it, but it would be cutting off its own remaining economic lifeline. it is still selling to india and china. we are trying to convince the chinese and japanese and koreans to not buy from iran. but if they were to close it, it is blockading itself. and we have also made it very clear that that is a red line for us. nobody wants to go there because then you really are risking out and out conflict between the u.s. navy and the iranian navy in the gulf, in the persian gulf, not something any cut -- anybody wants to see. host: on the human rights issues, from one of our viewers. guest: that is the question. i actually think yes. i think that as the arab league becomes more and more determined to stop this, and i have to say, this is a remarkable step forward in terms of protection of human rights that other arab countries that long have been completely unwilling to sanction there remembers, they are now saying this has to stop, assad has to step down and transfer power to the vice president, there has to be the election so that the killing will stop -- i think it will be very hard for the united nations not to support that. russia may be persuaded to abstain or possibly you could get general assembly resolution. i actually think we are moving toward outside pressure and possibly a lot of military intervention in a way that could stop the killing. host: our test server with hillary clinton at the state department. she has written an article available at the atlanticbsite. renee is on the phone from mississippi, the independent line. caller: i have a few questions in a few comments. department, the justice department, and homeland security, are they on alert for the deposed president of yemen, to arrest him for the killing of hundreds of his own countrymen in their democratic uprising? host: thank you. guest: was the question whether they are on alert? host: yes. guest: it is a very good point. the united states helped broker the agreement whereby he left the country. i think the answer is no, not because he has not killed or is not responsible for killing thousands of his own countrymen, but because the most important thing for the yemeni opposition was to get him out. and both egypt in the united states helped broker the agreement, which i think i was not party to it, included his ability to get medical treatment in the united states. at least immediately, i doubt he will be arrested. longer-term, that is not impossible. host: this from the asso

admiral halsey once said if you are going to fight in the north atlantic, then you have to prepare in the north atlantic. >> let's rally behind him. sounds like patton sometimes. >>> maybe the worst lopsided mismatch will be the running game. the 49ers had the league's best run defense during the regular season. giants had the worst running offense. runningback brandon jacobs has been the poster child for new york's ground game. veteran averaged under 4 yards a carry during the season. and today, he engaged in a little trash talk through the media with 49ers former receiving great jerry rice who called him out on espn. >> i feel like brandon jacobs is a little soft. he can't get away, you know, from a defender. this guy's 265 and it upsets me when i see him get tackled by a guy that's like 190 or 200 pounds. >> i grew up with san francisco 49ers fans. i have loved jerry rice. i still love jerry rice. you know, he -- i give him a lot of credit for the game being the way it is today. you know? i have nothing negative to say about jerry. if he feels that way, he feels that way. i bet you he won't tackle me

atlantic beaches. the heaviest rain on now heading over the atlantic ocean and we're getting a clearing sky off to our west. sunshine in the shenandoah valley. it's in the 50s there now, but some colder air beginning to move into western maryland. it's only in the 40s there. and right around washington, in fairfax, prince george's, arlington, montgomery counties, right near 60 degrees now. and over the last 12 hours, here was that one line of heavy rain that came through. there are the breaks in the clouds off to our west. as the afternoon progresses, we'll get some of that sunshine. and going forward over the next 48 hours, we'll get the sun this afternoon but also some snow showers out of the mountains of western maryland and into northern west virginia as the cold air surges in from the north and west, and it's going to feel like winter again after it felt like spring, and it still feels like spring outside. rather humid and rather balmy. but as we get into saturday night and sunday morning, that's when some much colder air is going to begin to move in. so, very cold end to the weekend after this b

atlantic whether it's the pacific or whether it was spread over such a large area it hit the atlantic the pacific and parts of south america ok well we're still following that but there's a huge disappointment that this probe didn't get out of orbit didn't jet away as it should have done to mars isn't it a lot of people involved in a very expensive mission to a very expensive mission indeed one hundred seventy million dollars it cost to build this probe it was a hugely and dissipated mission from the russian space agency it. supposed to go to the moon a focus pick up soil samples bring them back to earth for analysis possibly where it gets its name from food is good and basically meaning focused soil in russian now that's information that data that the scientists were craving could potentially they were saying of lead to developments towards a potential martian settlement a human settlement on the moon of course all that data are gone now it was a hugely disappointing mission at the probe got into orbit and then pretty much stayed there no matter how much effort was made by ross cosmos as well as the european space agency to try and contact it and get it back on its way eventually crashing back down to earth on sunday evening or i paid all of a thanks for bringing some today what we know so far. a lot of shock this week by an online video that showed american marines
