i am peter craven in berlin. this is what is making news at this hour.a hour. a glimmer of hope at the syrian peace talks. the sides seem to agree that civilians will be able to leave the besieged city of homs. encourage the ukrainian president to talk to the opposition. stan is the man. at the australian open, awrinkaas for franca -- w beat uninjured rafael nadal -- nadal to winfael his first grand slam title. after nearly three years of fighting and bloodshed in syria, any arborists and bringing humanitarian relief to the people of syria has to be welcomed. the u.n. mediator at talks in geneva between the government and opposition has announced that the two sides have reached a deal to allow women and children to leave areas that have been under siege for more than a year in the central city of homs. the question is, will that deal hold? can it be enforced? are further breakthroughs possible? he knew he had a difficult task ahead of him when he arrived at the peace talks. but the conference has already achieved something that many thought was impossible, by b

if i was to suggest we make all the decisions based on cost, i would be dismissed as heartless, craven, and an awful person. yet, if i was to suggest we keep everybody ali in the hope somebody will wake up, that would be considered ruin ous and illogical. what role should money play in the conversations about it and the decisions we make for ourselves and others? >> yeah. not easy questions today. i think one of the first things i want to emphasize is that it isn't always entirely about money. there have been studies of a lot of patients in end of life care showing that a high degree of intervention not only gives them a terrible quality of life but shortens their life. this isn't just a question of rationing where does the money go? there certainly is -- there are finite resources, and so making sure that the doctor's professional opinion is considered, making sure that the family's wishes are considered is important. so when we do have very, very sad but unfortunately relatively straightforward cases like the one in oakland, that certainly needs to be an opportunity for people to tal

one that loves crossover down to peter craven who's been following this story from our parliament is serious kiprusoff to get chosen on the situation right now for the bulgarian and romanian community is already here in germany. what counts in the brine is that those two communities together number somewhere around three hundred and seventy thousand people and it's estimated that said this year. that number could surge by anywhere between one hundred thousandtwo hundred pounds in the not quite so long. a lot of people but always tended to see so far is the kind of people who have come to jimmy fro romania and bulgaria have tended to be highly skilled in the many highly qualified people thought says qantas engineers in these kind people of the stewards colts. but that could now change with the lifting of restrictions that we could see many more people from less skilled second group or a second sofa. romanian and bulgarian society also from the cincy and roma communities which have all the sleeping some trouble them in battle in recent years to people other than looking at this very ve

it is hard to imagine anyone in the future being quite as craven. there to find out what happened this time. we still don't know. there are still so many questions that need to be answered, including, what was david sampson's role in the george washington bridge scandal. >> i met two hours yesterday with mr. sampson, general sampson. again, i am confident that he had no knowledge of this. >> last week, chris christie issued a sweeping defense of this man, david sampson, one of several people implicated in the first batch of e-mails who has managed to escape the axe. david sampson is not a formerly anonymous political operative like david weinstein or bridget kelly. he is a pillar of new jersey politics. >> the question of the hour is, is david sampson at some point going to be subpoenaed by this committee and what i'm hearing is that there is an enormous amount of pressure to not have him subpoena david sampson, because of his role in new jersey politics? >> he has one of the thickest resumes in the state. it calls him the second most influential ma

judge thomas was simply an innocent bystander in rubio's craven attempts to win back a right wing that has abandoned him. remember last summer rubio played an essential role in shepherding through the senate an immigration bill which passed with strong bipartisan support over the objections of the right wing base. for those efforts, he was absolutely savaged in the conservative media, labeled a traitor and scoundrel and heaped with scorn by the vengeful hordes turning out to vote in the 2016 republican primary. that left marco rubio spending more or less every waking hour since trying to get back in their good graces. he now has a big bill he's touting that's going to kill obamacare and was one of 37 republican senators today who voted to filibuster a long-term unemployed to try to make sure they spent the rest of this freezing winter without even meager assistance. now marco rubio can say with pride to his base that he successfully blocked the first openly gay black trial judge in american history. these are what the victories for congressional republicans look like these days. not im
