dr. davies: our basic rearch program is to study large pieces of forest. we set up these research plots which are 50 hectares in area, typically -- so that's a kilometer by half a kilometer -- in which we study every single tree species that occurs in those areas. we do it all one by one. we go out, we start at the corner of these big plots and we tag and map and measure every tree bigger th a centimeter in diameter. that's as big as a little sapling in your garden. and we monitor everything. we have, in some of our research plots, more species of trees than the whole of north america or the whole of europe. that's a phenomenal number of species -- 1,000 species or 1,200 species in one plot. narrator: at 17 forest-dics plots throughout latin america africa, and asia davies' project, in collaboration with the arnold arboretum of harvard university, maintains an active database of more than 3 million trees of 6,000 species. dr. davies: this is a huge data set, which no one else in the world is doing this kind of research. and the idea of doing it right acros

dr. richard davis who is director of neonatal care unit. doctor, you heard this report as well. when we hear 40% of babies born are african-american, but 70% don't make it, how can this be? is this a peculiar problem just to cleveland, or do you see this in chicago? >> every city, every state looked at has a large gap between birth outcomes between black and white infants. >> what do you attribute this to? where we live in a society where the medicare is so good, when babies have such a good chance of making it, how can this be? >> the problem is not what happens after the babies are born. the problem is that they're born so early and they need all that intensive care to survive, and many of them do survive, but more don't than we would like. so preventing prematurity is really the only way to solve this problem. >> is it clear that this is a racial divide? how do we know it's not a socio-economic question or environmental question, how do we know? >> i don't think it's either/or. i think it's a lot of things working at the same time. the disparity between black infants and whit

dr. seuss and duck dynasty. while it's great on cable, it's not great on the floor. i remember watching wendy davisn texas, the legislator who talked and talked and talked until she talked off topic and that's what got her booted off the floor. why is it you can go off topic while you're on capitol hill? >> reporter: well, the rules are pretty liberal. they are pretty liberal in terms of what the senate can do and what a senator can do when he or she is talking. they have to keep within the decorum of the senate. he has to only yield to somebody if he's getting a question so everybody is talking to him in the form of a question and he can't sit down. he's standing up. so in fact i can give you a little -- i went into the chamber to see what was going on before i came here. marco rubio was talking. ted cruz was in the corner talking to a staffer and he was literally going from foot to foot, leg to leg, almost trying to keep his legs away because he's been standing for about 20 hours. but i also want to play for -- i think we have it now -- for our viewers what ted cruz did do this morning that was a
