i find it frightening frankly. do you drive into the ice, do you brake hard, how do you navigate. >> boy, great question. when the roads are slippery couple things. slow down ail little bit. it takes longer to stop. the car will not steer as well. so down a little bit. in unfortunate event you find yourself in a steer what you want to do, is steer, counterintuitive steer into the slide a little bit, get wheels lined up and slowly bring it back. where most people make a mistake, if you start to slide to the right they turn the wheel to the left and actually spin out. gerri: great advice. a couple of tips you guys have on your website i found interesting and surprising. keep your tank half full and if you are snow bound stay with your vehicle. explain those two. >> two things. technical reasons. it is good for your car to keep gas in there to not get moisture in. more importantly if you have to drive somewhere you may not find a gas station that is open. keeping fuel in your tank gives you flexibility where you drive and when you stop. when you think of staying with your vehicle, imagine just being on these road at night, roads are slick visibility is poor. you're safest inside of the car. once you get out you're a target and, many people have really come into some unfortunate outcomes by leaving the vehicle to try to walk somewhere. maybe in the city you could walk to a business. once you get out of the real urban areas you may find yourself walking through a field you can't see there and really cold and bad things happen. stay with your car. gerri: great advice john. thanks for coming on the show. appreciate it. >> great to be with you. >> well so how are folks preparing for the storm?

ten dollars a month? >> ten a month. because the lead price in the market for a good robust plan is 25 a month from a company called republic wireless which gives you unlimited text, talk and data for 25 a month. they're out on the edge there. but their cheap price will seem moderate i think by next year. gerri: clark before you go any further, my friend. we talk to the people at republic wireless. david was on our show. what he had to say about this whole thing. listen. >> i'll tell you how we keep prices low. we focus on the fact that all of us have wi-fi around us most of the time. at home at work often at airports and other places. our phones naturally use wi-fi when available. when you leave wi-fi, we hand you over to cellular, so you don't have to worry about the call dropping. gerri: five bucks a month. pretty impressive. the ceo talking about his offerings. i agree with you. this will be a competition down to the bottom. i think it's the consumers who win. >> yeah. the only real losers i see in the marketplace right now is verizon. verizon has maintained a very high price point because of their network. network is becoming much less important because of the off-loading like we were talking about. behind the scenes, our calls are going out. our data use going out over wi-fi even when we haven't done anything differently than open up our phones and start to use it. so wi-fi is the thing that's changing the price equation, and that will only get better. gerri: i want to show folks these high price carriers. sprint 144. they cannot maintain this. i don't see it happen. >> no chance. gerri: cablevision is coming out with free wheel. they're using wi-fi. the idea is to expand the way in which you provide service. google will do it by teaming up with a couple of the big providers. so this is really going to help people spend less to get the service they want. what's your advice to people? should they not lock into long-term contracts at this point? >> one hundred increaser100 percent correct. don't sign a contract because that will lock you into high prices for the next 24 months when the rates will steadily come down. who saw google coming? by the way, most of what google will do is not going to be on cellular phone, it will be on wi-fi network also. wi-fi, that we think is our friend at home, will be our friend everywhere we go. gerri: i love it, clark. thank you for coming on the show. we hope to see you again soon. now, we want to know what you think. would you like to switch your cell phone provider?

>> you have a lot more red than you do blue. >> yes. >> why is that. >> specialising in ecology and evolution. the wild paradise smacked in the middle of an airport. >> that's all honey in here. >> yes. >> conservationists are turning wasteland green, and using extraordinary measures to keep it that way. >> here goes. i'm phil torres. i'm an entomologist. that's our team, now let's do some science. >>> hey, guys, welcome to techknow, i'm phil torres, joined by marita davison, and crystal dilworth. as you think of a farm in the midwest you think of corn and wheat fields, it's not the case these days. >> as research is scarce, farmers find innovative solutions to problems. farmers are turned on its head, including going away from the field, and taking it indoors. going indoors, stacking plants and growing problems in the absence of sunlight. it sounds like a science fair experiment. it's a viable business. >> reporter: sometimes mother enemy. >> if we don't get rain in a 30 day window we'll be in strife. >> in california 400,000 acres are unplanted at a cost of $800 million in loft revenue because of the drought. >> in bosnia, the worst floods swamped 172,000 acres of crops in may. devastating the country's agricultural industry. last wint inside polar vortex took a toll as the impact made big news on the vineyard. >> a crisis on the lake erie shore line. >> some call it global warming, global weirding. >> reporter: robert, founder of green sense farms is not worried about mother nature. he raises his crops here, inside a 30,000 square food warehouse, 50 miles outside of chicago. >> they are growing crops and warehouses, farmers say they can bring local produce from farm to table in places like this in as little as 24 hours. >> what are some of the major this? >> they take weather out of the equation. every day is consistent and the same. we get perfect plants every day. >> reporter: green sense farms opened doors in may and is supplying 1,000 cases of produce to stores and restaurants in the midwest. how do you meet the challenges? >> there's no book. no one has done this before. we had to be innovative. the pink glow is a result of innovations. more than 3,000 red and blue l.e.d. grow lights. health plants use sunlight, carbon dioxide and water to produce glucose - the plants don't need the whole spectrum to do it, just certain colours. >> these lights are specially made to really nail photosynthesis for the plant. >> reporter: lane patterson is a senior grow at the farm. >> photosynthesis occurs at the two wavelengths, the red and blue. 60 and 40 nanometres. we are saying "here is the light that you really, really, really light." touch these lights. feel how cool they burn up top. hot. >> they don't generate a lot of heat. you can put them closer to the plants and stack the trace. we have 10 levels, we could probably get 15. this is a mint. taste that. tell me how you like it. >> reporter: so good. >> what is most amazing is how dark it is, and you pull it out into the light is see how green it becomes. >> reporter: warehouse growers are not the only ones turning to l.e.d.s, here researchers are testing them, to see if they can give plants a boost on short winter days. >> this opens possibilities. >> kerry mitchell is a professor of applicant physiology. >> we are showing that you can save considerable payments of electrical power using l.e.d.s. that will make it economically feasible for greenhouse growers to grow plants like the high wire tomatoes in the off season. >> researchers are studying recipes. by changing the intensity of life and colours. you have more red than blue in this display. >> yes. >> reporter: why is that? >> it's a great question, we have 95% red, 5% blue. if we have more blue than that, we start in hib itting leaf expansion, and start in hib itting stem growth. we think the higher blue may be valuable, for improving the health or attributes of tomato, but not at this statement. >> do you think it's a fad or a growing trend? >> it's a growing trend. >> the lighting technology will improve. the thing that is limiting it right now is the initial cost. >> philip's lighting is subsidizing th subsidizing the l.e.d.s as part of a research partnership. they are experimenting with light recipes with different plants. >> a year from now i hope to have a pattern specific to basil and chives, and lettuces, and that's where you'll see us get a much higher optimisition, and more efficiency in the growing. more efficiency in the growing, does that mean faster, what does that mean? cheeper. >> how - being high on resources. planting. today? >> okay. >> we use a vacuum cedar. >> this is coconut core in a puck. and there's 105 pucks here. what i'm attempting to do is get a seed in every one of those pucks - dead on. we have to stay crowned up. coconut husk, a renewable resource. it's inert, it doesn't have bacteria, chemical properties, it allows the plant to grow rapidly, it hydrates rapidly and dries. the water nutrients flow through the root system. >> we are recycling water, need. >> we'll roam around. >> it does happen fast. >> that's the excess. we'll look at it one more time. nice. careful. they look like they are eggs in a nest. >> that's the idea. 42 days later we have a head of lettuce. >> reporter: that's 3-7 days faster than lettuce in a field, pesticides. >> we don't apply anything to the plant. the water and nutrients go into the root system. nothing touches the leaves. when you walk through the farm, you eat the leaves off the shelf. environment. >> diana is a client. she spicks up live basil plants for her cafe, her restaurant in gary indiana. >> i need a little more for the batch. then we are going to blend all of the ingredients toot. it's a star ingredient for one of her dishes, pesto. >> it's an herb hard to get this large quanties and all year round. it's solved when you have a local indoor form. are you ready? you go first. >> reporter: okay. that's really amazing. >> good. >> reporter: that is delicious. camera. >> it was something self-started by the farming community, or did it draw inspiration elsewhere? >> well, interest in this type of indoor farming in the absence of sun light - not surprisingly was originally started by the marijuana industry, but has been coopted by formers, using their approaches to grow basil and other high nutrient value crops that they struggle to get to the store, local and organically. >> with the marijuana industry, one of ways they were getting caught is houses were producing heat. l.e.d.s don't produce a lot of heat. that could have pushed that energy efficiency. >> exactly. think about the bathroom and kitchen lighting. they designing for basil. >> we have seen the wonder of basil. what is next? >> i look at how basil plants and fish live in harmony, and do it all indoors. about these stories. following us on twitter and at aljazeera.com/techknow. conclude >> tonight. from race relations to foreign policies, terrorism and the economy. >> if this congress wants to help, work with me. >> ali velshi kicks off our special state of the union coverage at 7:00. >> we'll take an in-depth look at our nation's financial future. >> then john seigenthaler breaks down the issues. >> we need to know what's going on in our backyard. >> plus, objective analysis and live reports from across the nation and reaction from around the world. the state of the union address. special coverage begins tonight, 7:00 eastern. right here on al jazeera america.

[ laughs ] they are hungry. that means they are healthy. >> reporter: paul is a cofounder of farmed here. >> imagine ponds with fish swimming in water and plants living around it. that's what we are trying to replicate indoors. it's a symbionic relationship between fish and plants, that's how we grow the crops >> reporter: the water from the tanks, and fish waste flows throu

al qaeda have reportedly killed five soldiers in the eastern hatcheries mountains -- the eastern mountainsecently. the president is to be safe in his residence is an ally of western powers, keen to keep yemen on his side in the fight against al qaeda. the rebels had to factor control over the capital since september. despite a cease-fire, they kicked off a new offensive against government troops on monday. houses were destroyed, seemingly to just -- to create a base from which to attack the president's residence and compound. >> a military commander was warning of an attempted coup. we are getting a different message from rebel leaders. what is happening? >> this has been a really common strategy for the hootie's since they moved into the capital in late september saying one thing and acting in another way. i would definitely say that today was more of a coup than yesterday. and yesterday was pretty close to a coming. i mean, today they took over the presidential palace and they are not showing the president's home , so it is hard to call it something than -- other than a coup. >> a fluid

we are talking about several inches an hour currently across long island eastern conditionnecticut and eastern parts of massachusetts. we have blizzard conditions white out occurring across parts of long island connecticut and massachusetts also in rhode island a very tough go early this morning out there. you are looking at a powerful storm system that will be producing heated snow across those areas. brian mentioned new york city missing the brunt of the storm system. the storm took the trek further off to the east. that's what prevented those snow totals of several feet for the city. we are looking at significant snow possible and strong gusty winds over the entire region gusty winds 50 miles an hour. cold temperatures across the region. teens in new york and below zero in boston. as far as the forecast goes we will see the snow coming down across the region through out the day today and into tomorrow for new england. >> regardless, dangerous conditions. thank you, maria. the storm is causing a travel nightmare. tens of thousands of air mineline passengers stranded 8000 flights are canceled

eastern massachusetts and eastern long island could see two feet or more of snow before it's all said and done. but the storm was not as bad as expected in new york city and philadelphia. take a live look at times square. well, much of the camera -- okay. there's times square. pretty much business as usual now that the mayor of new york city lifted a travel ban. >> vast majority of the city we did not even hit ten inches. six, seven eight inches has been more typical in most parts of the city. still some snow happening today so we might pick up a few more inches but obviously the worst is passed. >> meteorologist yeah nisjanice dean said it should clear out tonight. look at the totals before it's over. rick levinthal joins us from long island. rick? >> reporter: yeah. jon, new york city dodged the storm but central and eastern long island did not. two to three feet of snow and blustery and windy out here. the sun came out for the first time in days and the roads are an absolute mess. we took a drive around some of the streets here in uniondale and the plowed roads have a thick layer of snow and ice on them. the side streets covered with what appears to be roughly a foot to foot and a half of powder here in nassau county. we saw residents digging out or attempting to. even though the travel ban has been lifted for the state of new york, the governor is urging people to stay home. >> while the roads are open that is not to say that unless you need to be on the roads, you should be on the roads. the roads are still dangerous. and they are passable. but there is a level of ice under the snow in many areas. and if you don't have to travel today, you really don't want to be traveling today. >> reporter: it's good advice. the travel ban is lifted in all of new york state and all of new jersey and will be in connec

where we see bright white from the coast of maine all the way through eastern massachusetts, road island, eastern connecticut and eastern part of the road island. we have snow falling in our area, which could make for tricky travel, of course, it will as we always say, it doesn't take much to make a mess, and we certainly do have have some very light snow falling in lancaster county, lehigh valley and chester county. snow is very light there. heavier around buckingham and most of bucks county right now, middletown township, bensalem, getting some decent snowfall, it appears from radar this morning. we still have light snow falling in philadelphia, across the the river in pemberton, light snow as well and then we will go down to the jersey shore and we will see light snow, but down around the beaches of delaware. it is the exit strategy of the storm but it is intensifying moving toward the north east. with these bands coming back we are not seeing a lot of snow but we will still be seeing some more. we still have the blizzard warning in effect for places that we just told you that the the snow is the the the worst. winte

eastern tribes in which the eastern tribes agreed to maintain the flow of oil and flow of electricity into the western highlands from the east. they also agreed to not give ref final to al-qaeda. the two interests of the who the fighting al-qaeda and maintaining the flow of oil and electrical power to the western populated areas of yemen. if a political deal could be reached, then the houthi may suffice with the agreement and not going into the east, but an agreement with eastern tribes is probably going to be an agreement also with saudi arabia because the saudis are playing a role that saudis from the d.c.c. have said the east is a red line for them. >> al jazeera continues to demand the release of our three colleagues imprisoned in egypt for 391 days. the three were falsely accused of helping the outlawed muslim brotherhood, charges they deny. an appeals court has order add retrial. >> egypt's president al sisi would like to see the case against the al jazeera journalists resolved. here's what he had to say in davos at the world economic summit. >> we don't have any interest whatsoever to put any citizen under detention journalists or otherwise, outside the rule of law. there is a point also that i would like to highlight here, which is we are trying very hard after four years of turbulence to regain the rule of law and to uphold the independence of the judiciary. >> the number of people killed in violence in ukraine has now exceeded 5,000 since last april.

eastern long island, eastern massachusetts. and there's new york. and i think new york's going to start to fill in as well. new york has kind of been the tricky spot in the forecasting. so let's get right to those forecast models shepard, because this time yesterday we were predicting 20 to 30 inches of snow in new york city. 30 inches of snow-oáexpá has never happened in new york city. but they were looking at the &lé)+ut(z model, which is still steadfast here. still dealing with we could see 18 to 24 inches of snow, new york city, long island the bullseye continues to be massachusetts and connecticut and rhode island with over two feet. we are pretty certain that new england is going to get an epic event. not so sure about new york city. here's the nam forecast, this is ano&8!(÷ forecast model we look at. again, big snowfall totals from atlantic city to philadelphia to new yorkyw boston. again, some of these areas could see higher totals. i wouldn't be surprised61! higher totals of three feet in some of these isolated areas,_ibuqbuuráh&ook at the gfs, the new and improved gfs model we've been talking about all our forecasters are excited about. look what the gfs does three to six, we're almost done with this snowstorm. but we're still predicting a big event for new england. so you have to take that9o account. this gfs model0$#> it really is. janice, want to show our viewers how this works. sometimes these snow systems come moving out of the midwest and wallop into the northeast. sometimes they act like a nor'easter and go up the coast. that's what this one's done. think of a hurricane. you know, hurricanes are low pressure centers and their winds go iné"cz a counterclockwise direction, right? so like this. when the hurricane came -=new orleans it's pushing that water up on the coast to the right side of the storm. we have that same thing happening here. there's a big low pressure center out here that's sending the winds in this way. and just like1cñ you have bands of rain in a hurricane, you have bands of snow coming out of this. there's thunder and lightning being reported out here thundersnow if you will. so these big bands are coming through sort of slicing along for new york and a(lÑ5eujjy and as this low pressure center moves more of those bands will come into these major cities. here's the thinking now after lots more computer models have come through and after we've seen this thing moving. the storm is -- the bands are(#jr coming. and it looks now like for boston and that area of new england->0nñ it's an overnight storm where blizzard conditionselqph begin somewhere around 2:00 or 3:00 in the morning. and last all the way through midday tomorrow. blizzard conditions, winds at 35 -- 30 to 35 miles an hour sustained winds with)?r 50, 55 60. out on the cape could be even higher than that. so hurricane force gusts. 10 12 hours of blizzard like conditions and you've got a qíp&lop that new england will be remembering for years to come. then there's new york. we had thought from all the models earlier and from everything that we read from the computervr models thatóknñ new york would be getting almost blizzard like conditions by now. because of the way this thing's moved and the way the circulation's happening, it now%┌ looks like new york's worst of it is not going to be until about 3:00 or 4:00 in the morning. and instead of eight or ten hours of blizzard conditions, it looks like it's going to last less than that in new york city. so a bigger event now for boston. what does that mean for snowfall)n18 totals? you can't really predict snowfall totals in that way, but january janice, looks like new england and new york -- not just you but anybody thoughé#íd this time yesterday. >> a lot of the forecasters are biting their nails a little bit because yesterday yes, this wasuytr(t&háhp &hc% going to be an=iúh epic event. but this is what happens forecasting snow. you've heard of a busted forecast, that happens. especially local forecasters will sometimes say a dusting to an inch, you wake up, there's six implgs, eight inches it is so tough to predict snow. i can't stress that enough. so just be you know very grateful for your local forecasters and be a little bit forgiving because sometimes the forecast is wrong. not a perfect science, but they say having said that shepard it's not out of the question to bands three to four inches an hour to move into the new york city area and bring those snow totals up. so it's not out of the question. it's t-ú+y western edge of the storm system that western edge is it going to work its way backwards and get into new jersey and new york? yesterday we were also talking about philadelphia in this equation. all right, looks like a busted forecast for them as well. again, it's the exact track of the storm where the winds are moving and the moisture content. and it looks like all intents and purposes new england it's a pretty solid forecast for you. it's going to be a huge event. wind gusts already, shepard 30 40, 50 miles per hour across nantucket. hurricane wind warnings for cape cod and the islands going through the evening. and here's the forecast satellite radar imagery right now. here's what we know. long island certainly could get two feet of snow. they've already seen half a foot of snow. and you can see this model brings the storm back into new york, into philadelphia,'npwg in towards interior= northeast. and then as we get into tuesday 3:00 p.m. it is out of new york, it's into boston still for a period of 12 18 hours in some cases for the newlç england area. and that's why those snow totals are going to verify, we think at this point. >> all right. we'll watch it because thejr;yñ way those bands move the moisture is in the band. and you can be two miles away from one of these bans and get nothing while in the middle of that band they'll just get a downpour of snow. this is new york's long island right here. and this is dick hills, where is he now?

things getting better now sp>> reporter: it's just past midnight here we're about an hour away from boston. and it's coastal communities like this one that bore the brunt of this storm. this is the ocean behind me. it was just hours ago that this road this 12r50e9 that we're standing on right now was nearly impassable. the force of those high tiltds that came through here that is still a concern here with the high tide expecting to happen a couple of hours from now. the snow is still steadily coming down here. not as hard as we saw it come down earlier today, throughout the boston area. but you mentioned those rescues here in this community. the national guard had two teams in this area making a handful of rescues and these costal communities are used to these severe weather situations. but even residents here say this is among the worst they've ever seen here. zain, john? >> what's the situation with electricity there? how long do these people have to put up with no electricity? >> reporter: it's sort of scattered around. this house right next to me here you see the light is still on the porch light is still on. clearly there's no one on. but you see other homes in this community are without power. that certainly was a problem here. but the national grid the local government here reached out to the national grid to turn off some of the power, because they've had problems with fires here in the past. in fact in march of 2012 there was a severe storm in this area and there were lots of fired. yesterday, we talked about the preparation for the local and state

japanese hostage and a pilot captured by isis last month. isis is threatening to kill both men within 24 hours. here's our will ripley. >> reporter: in the coming hours in tokyo, we expect to see the japanese government demonstrating that they are doing everything they can to secure the release of the japanese hostage. it was in the overnight hours that news broke of this latest isis video and this morning many japanese woke up to these headlines on every major newspaper in japan, where they showed a still image of the isis propaganda video. he's holding a photo of a jordanian pilot. this is the second piece of isis propaganda we've seen him holding. delivering the new isis demand that jordan hand over a convicted terrorist tied to the 2005 bombings in amman that killed almost 60 people. jordan as you might imagine, not keen to hand over such a high level prisoner without getting something in exchange. they've been trying to secure the release of their pilot since his capture. but isis now delivering an ultimatum, saying if they do not receive him within 24 hours, they'll kill not only kenji goto but also the jordanian pilot even sooner. which means both men, according to the new propaganda, have just hours to live. a very difficult situation that the japanese government, the jordanian government have found themselves in and agony for the family of kenji goto who had to listen to him in his own words saying he will be a dead man in a matter of hour it is the countries do not bow to the demands of a brutal terror group. will ripley cnn tokyo. >> in the meantime the

citizen, american man and three people. >> an online group, which supports isis claimed responsibility for the attack. but government officials say militants loyal to the former leeb libyan leader moammar gadhafi are to blame. >> reporter: we have seen bombings targeting foreign missions and embassies in tripoli. this is the first time where we're see thing sort of coordinated attack taking place in the western part of the country, specifically in tripoli. perhaps a shift in tactics that we are seeing here with this more organized and aggressive attack. the target this time a hotel. one of the last few places where members of the international community, whether diplomats or businessmen, meet and stay in tripoli. most diplomatic missions embassies and international organizations have shut down in libya as the situation worsened in tripoli last summer. the attack was claimed by a group affiliated with isis and it highlights a main concern in libya. the growing threat from extremist radical groups amid chaos and violence in the country. many say this should be a wakeup call for the international community that came and helped overthrow the regime of gadhafi in 2011 has neglected libya since and they should do more for their country. the attack came at the same time as the united nations was hosting another round of peace talks with the various libyan factions meeting in geneva. they have hoped these talks would lead to a unity government and bring stability to the country. but many fear these efforts are too little too late. topped president barack obama's visit to saudi arabia. he led a high level delegation to offer condolences on the death of king abdullah and to pay respects to the new king. >> president obama stayed clear of tackling the country's human

>> will you speak about the blogger to -- >> i think on this visit, a lot of this is just paying respects to king abdullah. >> reporter: cnn asked the president what he would say to americans appalled by saudi arabia's human rights record. >> what we would say to them is that it is important for us to take into account existing relationships, the existing alignments within a very complicated middle east to recognize that we have strategic interests in common with saudi arabia. >> reporter: common interests like isis yemen where the u.s. is fighting al qaeda, and saudi arabia's main rival, iran. a senior saudi official brushed off assurances that iran is not in charge of the houthi rebels in yemen, saying if the houthis are not controlled by iran who is giving them guns and money? to us, that is control. the saudi trip is something of an optics do-over. after the white house failed to have a high profile presence following the terror attacks in paris. by contrast the president's saudi delegation was a washington who's who. from secretary of state john kerry, and cia director john brennan, to james baker and condoleezza rice. top white house aides complained there's an unfair comparison. >> you have i think, a period of time where different leaders are able to pass through saudi arabia to pay their respects and meet the new king. so there is a difference. >> thanks to jim acosta for that report. indonesia's search and rescue agency says recovery mission also continue for flight 8501. >> reporter: john the national rescue agency went to great pains to emphasize the operation isn't over at all. there were a lot of local media reports in the flurry last night saying the search operation was over. after the announcement that the military decided to stand down its effort but the national search and rescue team will continue. they said that they have decided to consolidate the operation. they have re-evaluated. the fuselage is no longer a priority in terms of lifting that out of the water. the priority remains the recovery of all the bodies. he kept reiterating -- he was flanked in a press conference by family members of the victims on board the plane. they had just spoken with him. so reiterating they are going to try to redouble efforts to find the bodies. they're going to take a rest for now. they'll resume the search for seven days starting saturday. so another week or so. and then they'll re-evaluate now. and in that time they're introducing a new set of dive teams, including 20 or 25 divers from the oil ministry. there will be experts getting down into the sea. and they're also employing the skills of traditional fishermen. these are free divers who they're hoping will be able to help the effort as well. >> what's the latest on the investigation? announcing there's a focus on the maintenance records, what are they looking for there? >> reporter: this is a report by reuters news agency which had spoken to one official that they didn't name that intimated to them that the investigation has revealed some automated controls may have failed on board airasia flight 8501. that would have led the pilot and first officer to have to take control manually. that of course we know from the air france crash as well is a high pressure delicate situation to be dealing with. so they're planning to investigate and look further into the control systems and potentially maintenance record of these automated controls on board that flight. so we've been unable to confirm that ourselves. but that is what reuters has been reporting. this preliminary investigation report on monday i spoke to the transport minister pushing him to say will you release this publicly? will you share this with the families waiting to hear what happened on board. he said no he insists he doesn't want to do that yet. he has said to cnn that they plan to release the full report within three months. often we've seen with air crasses it takes up to a year. but they plan to release the pull report within three months rather than prerelease the preliminary report. john? >> thank you very much for the search of airasia flight 8501. >> we're going to take a

>> i accept what you're saying, i think this is one of the best events for the reason that the 2,000 people. we have more heads of state than any time in davos. liz: a lot on "countdown to the closing bell." >> the intersection of activity and traffic that the world needs. where the world is converging, technology is converging with asset management, converging with health care. liz: okay, as we finish up, parties, rattle them off. where are you going today? >> at oleg's party, the russian plutocrat. i'm going to the shabaud dinner. liz: charlie? >> i'm hanging out with brian steel of cnbc. liz: charlie. >> i'm close to them. >> you're their favorite person. liz: yahoo!'s party. >> you're their ex-employee. liz: all three of us. great to have you, davos dish, shall we say next year? >> leheim. >> beautiful mountain snow at the parties. lori: there are the benchmark averages, the dow at a session low down 109 points after a 1.5% rally sparked by the ecb. so some pause today. s&p off four tenths and the nasdaq is higher, the only index in the green today. 30 stocks comprising the dow jones industrial average. ge leading gainer on the index after reporting a better-than-expected fourth quarter driven in part by growth in the industrial segment there. down $1.77 over the problem over oil prices plummeting recently. >>> companies, there's a look at oil today, $45.43, one of the lowest levels in the last couple of sessions. gold is reversing course, down 7 1/2 dollars per troy ounce. >>> companies always try to protect themselves against the unforeseen, but can't do it alone. back to liz with one of the most famous insurers to see what the hot new market is this year, liz? liz: whether it's ebola, terrorism, or even body parts, lloyds of london can insure it. what does it see as the biggest market in 2015? let's ask the brand new ceo inga beale, with us in davos. are you having a good davos, inga? >> yes, fantastic. my first one, actually. i'm learning a lot and meeting great people. liz: insurers are huge when it comes to the leaders and the central bank the governors are thinking about. what have you talked about most? what conversations have been your focus this year? >> yeah, so being one of the big insurance markets in the world, we focus on all sorts of different products and the biggest product we've been talking about is cyber. cyberinsurance. cyberis one of the big, big threats to businesses these days. every year we do a survey of business leaders and say what are the big risks? cyberrisk has jumped up to 3 from 20. liz: inga, how much does it cost to insure a company against cyberterrorism. we want to put a price tag on that, we talk about it a lot on fox business. >> we can't give individual information. the premium was 850 million globally two years ago, it's gone up to 2.5 billion already. most of that is in the u.s. we have to help the rest of the world understand it's a threat to them. liz: what about the terrorism we saw in france or that we are seeing around the world in the islamic militant terrorism seems to be exploding and worrisome to a lot of the participants at the world economic forum? >> terrorism like that is a growing concern for all businesses. most parts of the world that's covered by the government or some arrangement and the terrorist attacks are not covered by general insurance because of the nature of the attack. liz: what about interruption of business? >> yes, there can be special policies sold that will cover you if your business is interrupted, but often if it's due to a terrorist attack, there is something specific against a government, it may well be excluded from regular insurance. liz: which type of insurance, does it amaze you that companies should have but don't in this day and age? >> cyberinsurance is the new one. one that's been around much longer i'm surprised is not more takeup on is supply chain insurance. if you think how interconnected the world is these days, people are sourcing raw materials to the other side of the world. catastrophes can happen and we saw it with thailand in 201, 1 all the semiconductor plants flooded. nobody could get the bits to computers. seldom do people insure appropriately for it. liz: you do everything from energy to marine to motor insurance. let's get to the stuff that lloyds of london is known for, the body parts insurance. give us an example what you do in that realm? >> we will do models and all the rest. the one i love is the tongue of the coffee barista. the taster for the coffee companies, we have to insure their tongues so they can keep on at their profession. liz: the taste buds are crucial. the legs of famous dancers. vocal chords, things like that? >> yes, anything that people want to protect that's precious to them, we're your market. liz: what is the most interesting person, conversation, you've been a part of, you heard in davos this year? >> the thing i loved is the session i joined escaping from poverty and talking about immigration and how it's affecting economies in countries. and the increased sense that people are a bit resistant to immigration in countries. big topic here and i enjoyed. that learned a lot. liz: there's much more to be seen on the final day. great to see you, inga. thank you so much. >> great to be with you. liz: the brand-new ceo of lloyds of london but the first female ceo. good for you. >> thank you. liz: enjoy it. lori: congrats, amazing week in davos but you're not done yet. in the 4:00 p.m. hour, liz will be interviewing bain and company chairman and former economic adviser to president clinton and cisco systems chairman and ceo john chambers, don't miss it. the closing bell 16 minutes away. the stock hitting session lose at the moment. next week will be critical again for the market. your money has a lot to watch out for. we'll give you a preview of next. a davos exclusive with microsoft founder bill gates. he spoke with maria bartiromo and how they're doing on the job. >> it's a very competitive business, driving the company to lead in the cloud areas that we hadn't been the leader before, so i'm excited. he's got, there's a certain energy about the company, and he gets advice from me on particular areas and i'm glad to help. the lightest or nothing. the smartest or nothing. the quietest or nothing. the sleekest... ...sexiest, ...baddest, ...safest, ...tightest, ...quickest... ...harshest... ...or nothing. at mercedes-benz, we do things one way or we don't do them at all. introducing the all-new c-class. see your authorized mercedes-benz dealer for exceptional offers through mercedes-benz financial services. it's working for new york state. already 55 companies are investing over $98 million dollars, and creating over 2100 jobs. from long island to all across upstate new york, more businesses are coming to new york. they are paying no property taxes, no corporate taxes, no sales taxes. and with over 300 locations, and 3.7 million square feet available, there's a place that's right for your business. see if startup-ny can work for you. go to startup.ny.gov. nobody's hurt,but there will you totstill be pain.new car. it comes when your insurance company says they'll only pay three-quarters of what it takes to replace it. what are you supposed to do, drive three-quarters of a car?

>> 34 years old. they tweeted a congratulations to him. so did tim cook, the ceo of apple, tim cook and him will be talking about what it will be like to leading a publicly traded company. lori: so much to watch. even with today's selling, stocks are on track for the first winning week of the year. next week chock-full of earnings that could move the markets and a fed meeting. we have a greek presidential election that could be what's bringing the sellers here to market. >>> joining me to break it all down from the cme, chris robinson, welcome back from the new york stock exchange. robert hackel. what's your take here, we're seeing the selling accelerate here? >> definitely doing that, and it does have to do about the greek political situation and the elections on sunday as well as, as you said earlier, the markets have been heading up and you had a big day yesterday in the markets and a sell-off right now. lori: thanks, rob, want to get chris' take on the sell-off right now? >> well, the sell-off in quotes. this time last week we were at two-month lows, we were at 5% off the highs, the dow at 17,125. i think that's going to be what the market is looking at. i'm going to call it the 5% solution. if we were to take out the two-month lows on the charts, you get more acceleration to the downside. remember, when the dow is at 18,000, a 5% move is 900 points. you can't get too, too excited when you have 100, 200, 300 point days. it's a percentage move we have to focus on. and we're going into the weekend, obviously guys hedging over the weekend, but we're still awfully near all-time highs. december 26th, the day after christmas. that wasn't that long ago, we were at record highs. all in all, we're in good shape. if we take out the 5% low, you might get more downside pressure. lori: all things in perspective. you make a fantastic point. chris, it has been volatile, though, and for the average investors, that could be nerve-racking. what's your advice here as we approach the fed next week, the greek elections on sunday that we've spoken about. earnings have been lackluster, so many things to keep in mind in your investment decision. >> well, i think for average investor if you have a long-term horizon, it's a cliche, you can't get too excited about the volatility. unless you're a professional trader, i would look at the market once a week, twice a week, wouldn't get too excited. i would watch and if you're worried about downside, the only way to hedge yourself if you're long 401(k) or ira, set aside money and have cheap puts on, and s&p put or dow put, one s&p contract can cover half a million dollars worth of long stocks. take a look at that. educate yourself about what a put option can do to hupp sleep better at night. lori: we saw the vix, the fear index, the volatility index up a point and a half today. the theme of late. gentlemen, thank you so much. appreciate it. >> thank you. lori: five minutes from the closing bell. we're watching the markets head into the close, there's a look at the dow off 137. that's i believe the worst level of the session here. lot on investors' minds. 16,676. we are in good shape for a positive end to the entire week. we will catch up with patrick burn, the ceo of overstock.com. he launched online farmer's market. see whether patrick believes lower gas prices will mean that consumers will spend more out of their pocketbook this quarter? . for respawn, building the best interactive entertainment begins with the cloud. this is "titanfall," the first multi-player game built and run on microsoft azure. empowering gamers around the world to interact in ways they never thought possible. this cloud turns data into excitement. this is the microsoft cloud. sometimes they just drop in. always obvious. cme group can help you navigate risks and capture opportunities. we enable you to reach global markets and drive forward with broader possibilities. cme group: how the world advances. . david: we are just off of the session lows. 146. but close to it. not a lot of conviction going into the weekend here. let's go to nicole petallides at the new york stock exchange. nicole, i notice about 2:30 easternoon is when the market began to slide, get close and into triple digits. that was about the same time news came out from greece that their left wing candidate was up in the polls. they got their election sunday. did that have anything to do with it? >> i've certainly been talking with the traders and reading about it. we go to the story about the greek elections, the eurozone as a whole? what happens to greece? do they consider leaving the eurozone? we've had a great week on wall street, could be people taking money off the table after a great week. david: that's true. oil down again, refiners were up. valero had good numbers. >> i was talking with mark newton and he said that, we saw gains abroad and home and sector rotation where we saw energy and discretionary. david: ups not already, a 10% drop, how about that? >> they're going to do pricing going forward. right here domestically they had problematic numbers, down about 10%. david: from bad to extraordinary. box. of course, any com

eastern england. >> eastern england. i'm sorry. we may get to you. i'm looking that the stage an east midlander. who have we got? yes. are you from the east midlands? the woman next to you. are you from the east midlands? no. okay. fair enough. sorry. east midlands. let us hear from you, sir. >> the process of work experience and interpretships inure corruption. people are being exploited as a free source of labor. over a quarter of businesses pay interns generally nothing but sometimes just under the minimum wage. but 82% of senior business decisionmakers admit that interns perform useful, necessary, and vital tasks for their businesses. is it fair that we just are going to watch our peers complete tasks for free that employers would otherwise pay people to do? even in parliament i read just this week a young lady was performing duties here for six months only being paid two pounds. the burden is again power of persuasion, a power as a pressure group the power as future members of parliament to make westminster know that we are not okay with the expleauation of our colleagues our peer and our friends. thank you.oitation of our colleagues, our peer, and our friends. thank you. >> thank you very much indeed. what about the southeast of england? who have we got from the southeast? and what about the young girl there, long blond hair. yes, your good self. let us hear your message. >> well i'm veronica sims. i'm from the city of oxford. and i think it's going to be hard for me to imagine what fear feels like. i'm speaking, being quite a small person in a big room that is the house of commons. of course i'm afraid. but even an experience like this, which is great, it's something that i'm afraid of. what about people who are going into life? that is literally our purpose to live. and we're going to be afraid of it. don't we deserve a chance to see what it's going to be like? thank you. >> you may call yourself small or i would use the word short but you stood tall speaking in this debate. and for the avoidance of doubt, i've said this many times, i've always been short. i'm 51 years old, and i remain short and given a known impact the aging prossz on fizz i don't knowmy, i shall be shorter still in the future. it doesn't matter a damn. we short people should stick together. so thank you for that contribution. how about somebody from london? have we got anyone -- well, this is just an explosion. yes. we're going to hear from you. please. i'm sorry. there's so many of you but we 'do what we can. please. >> katie toner from london. i'd just like to say that everybody's work experience is different. sometimes it's absolutely great and you leave feeling inspired and encouraged to go forward and work really hard to succeed in your chosen career. other experience however might not be so good. but have you ever thought that are you always going to enjoy it? are you always going to get the best opportunity you can? no. everybody acts differently reacting to different situations. good or bad experiences are what mold you into the common and employable. if these experience are what you talk about and these experiences are what you talk about in interviews and you can say that you've learned from them and gained from them, the good ones and the bad ones and that is why this motion should be support. thanks. >> thank you very much indeed. now, do we have -- i know i keep asking this but i don't want anyone to be excluded pip think i've asked a couple times. do we have a contributor from northern ireland? have you spoken? you've not spoken. we've not heard from you. i'd remember that purple tie if you had. good. let's hear from you, please. >> my name is christopher harkin. i'm from northern ireland. i want to speak on behalf of youth action ni, who had some great ideas on this and unfortunately couldn't be here to share them with us today. they feel that one work experience is great. sorting it out and getting some good experience in work is good. but they think that it should be more than that. they think that one week isn't enough to truly represent what the working life is like. so they thought that either you could have two block weeks where you see the development of projects across the time or you could try having a few hours a week for a period of several months or eve an full school year, which would allow you to see the full development of projects and all the different aspects of working life in all their different ways which would truly allow you to see how the job is done. thanks. >> thank you. thank you very much indeed. i now would like to hear from a representative of the east of england. the lady in the pink dress who has been famously patient. your moment has arrived. >> thank you, mr. speaker. i'm from zurich in east of england. i have had two experiences. my first experience being in secondary school. they gave me a piece of paper, said go out find work experience. i ended up in a school academy. i want you to think of me in rugby getting tackled. that's not my aspiration in life. my sex ekd appearance was in college. i was a built hesitant but they gave me advice, connections, they gave me the right people and i'm going to tell you them ten days were the best ten days of my life. i can tell you now it impacted me. i got my foot in the door. they were contacting me and i didn't even know -- hello? you have my name? because people were acknowledging i was a young person who got the right work experience because people took time in me. people said, you know what you're a young person, you deserve to have inspiration. you deserve to be given a spot. and we all do. we are here representing young people. we need to give them that steppingstone between education and employment, and this is our chance to. and thank you. >> thank you very much. you were certainly worth waiting for, i can assure you, and i think the reaction testifies to that. can we have a speaker from wales? who have we got from wales? yes. what about the chap waving his hand? yes, yes you. thank you. indeed. >> i'm matthew from conway north wales. one of the main issues in wales we're a very rural nation, obviously. geography plays a major factor in work experience. sometimes there aren't plainly the opportunities there to make the work experience better in the first place. i don't believe that's an issue that you could strive snovl a year, which is why i'm not going to be voting for work experience. thank you. >> do we have a contributor from yorkshire and humber? wow. that is as demonstrative as they come. the young woman in the red dress or -- yes. >> thank you so much, mr. speaker. work experience is vital us to. we need to get accompanied to the advantages, disadvantages and the atmosphere of our career choices. we do not want to be in education for one decade, two decades, or even three decades of our live, only to walk blindly into a job. we shouldn't need to rely on internet research to decide our career choices. we need to rely on physical real-life experience so we can live to the maximum of our potential. thank you. >> thank you very much. have we got anybody interested from the northeast? the northeast. yes. we'll hear from you. thank you. >> hi. i'm in newcastle lafontaine. i'm just here to say that work experience is not even just for work it's also to get into universities. in the northeast we have newcastle university which is amazing at medicine and other sciences, but you need at least four weeks work experience to get into the university, to actually do the profession that you want to do. so i'm just here to say that work experience is not just important for jobs. it's also to get into universities, to get those jobs at the end. so it's kind of like a domino effect and work experience is the first place you have to start in. thank you. >> okay. anybody else from london? wow. this is just something else. yeah. okay. going to be difficult to accommodate but this young woman has been trying for some time and i'd like to hear you contribute. >> thank you, mr. speaker. first and foremost i believe work experience is crucial. what i'm going to say is in conjunction with your good grade you need work experience. we are the future workers. how can we go into work out any idea or any part of how to go into it? it just does not make sense. what we need to also criticize is the education system. why is is not equipping us well for work? if we have no work experience, why are you not directing us well for work and giving us all the knowledge and skills that we need? why? and also with a good grades, we also need that too for the work experience to be sufficient and be good enough because some employers say, yes you have work experience but you do not have the good grades. why is the education system, we spent ten years in school setting us up for failure? why do we go into exams with ten years of knowledge getting an e or a snushgs one thing i have to say is work experience is crucial and so is the education system, and they should be linked together so that we can create an amazing workforce, so that we can be the future workforce. thank you. >> thank you for that. i must say today has been characterized by lots of pith think, punchy contributions. actually, my parliamentary colleagues and i could learn from it. it's really good. you got your point across in a limited point in time. thank you and well done. now, i wanted to hear from somebody from the west midlands. yes. now, the young person right at the back, the one with long blond hair. in the middle. yeah. i think from some worstershire. yes. >> we all need education and we all will work for 50 years of our lives. at 16 and 18 we make choices that affect us for longer than we've even p been alive. for young people to do this without simple guidance and experience and without understanding or eve an semiautomatic exposure to the work they are entering is simply unfair. to take our chances based on factors that are not equal for everybody as much as a parental support or school support is unfair and work experience should be compulsory. >> thank you very much. now to conclude this debate, we have a couple further debates to come, i hope i've got this correct but if i haven't, please correct me. i call from london mr. iffy grillo! >> thank you, mr. speaker. amir is a 22-year-old who despite having a first-class degree has been unemployed for 1 months. daniel is a 16-year-old who has qualifications but few great interpersonal skills. alice is a 10-year-old who doesn't believe in the beauty of her dreams and so she'll never be sure who she wants to be. mr. speaker, i don't need to stand before the house and tell them why work experience will help every single one of these young people. this debate is about whether it should become our next campaign. so it could be a phenomenal chance to work with businesses. we can get businesses to help us develop a national framework for quality work experiences and why every young person should be entitled to it. the same goes for careers advice. but could we have this a campaign when different arias have completely different circumstances? not every area is can say the same. how can we make this into a national campaign? but maybe that's the point. no young person should be held back because of where they're from. that's something we champion as a youth parliament. why couldn't we champion this beautiful method of equality through a campaign? however, even if we did manage to get work experience for all young people doing the tea room for two weeks is no idea for productive. if we push for productive in every school condemning children for being logistic, pessimistic tasks that don't even benefit them. remember, while photocopying filing and using microsoft excel may seem monday day that can be the dull reality of workplace. not everyone will come out of work experience feeling motivated and inspired. the same way not everyone fin issues a day of work feeling motivated and inspired. that is life. i knew that would get the support of the staff. see, that's life. it's essential we're honest with young people. you know when i was 5, i was called stylish and i wanted to be the next james bond. but there was no work experience opportunities related to that. [ applause ] i decided i would become the next speaker of the house. you know young people are the future and have the power to change their presence. that is something we ee epitomize the youth department. daniel, alice and the rest of our young people. chloe and i have showed you the paths. only you can decide which way your vote goes. choose wisely. >> we've come to our last debate. i would love to have it over two days. who knows what might be possible in the future. i really mean it because i'll tell you something every day in the house, there are lots of people who are attending. natasha and rob and i know this but it's in the nature of things that most people who come here today will want to speak. and my pain, and i know it's your pain as well, is that only a small proportion actually get to make speeches. i'm genuinely sorry about that. but we do our best. we will now consider the fifth and last of the day called votes for 15, 16, and 17-year-olds in all public elections as printed on the order paper. now, to move the motion from scotland, we are about to hear from, i hope with your huge enthusiasm, mr. ashraf! >> thank you, mr. speaker. nyps this year is world war i, 100 years. however, did you know, it has only been 96 years since women over 30 gained the vote. 86 years since the voting age -- 86 years since women gained equal voting rights as males to vote at age 21. and 45 years since the voting age was reduced to 18. women achieved the right to vote and obtain a voice through collective debate battle and for some, death. we have not had to endure the same struggle. we know the word of several major political parties to vote if elected into government. however, we still have to see through these parties actually deliver on their promise. over the past one year, nyps as our national campaign, more has been done in the '16 campaign than has been achieved in 50 years of the youth parliament's history. on september 18th scotland put its faith in its young people giving all 16 and 17-year-olds a democratic vote. a vote in one of the most crucial sdpigss affecting scotland's future. in return, 81% of 16 and 17-year-olds registered to vote on the scottish referendum. 81%. truly this number reflects a level of maturity and seriousness to which many 16 and 17-year-olds are undeservingly not attributed within our society. so, today i call on you, nyps members of the youth parliament representatives of young people drawn from the foreign nations of the united kingdom to put your heart and soul as we enter our 16th year of campaigning to ensure voting of. all 16 and 17-year-olds to vote on the welsh assembly scottish parliament and northern ireland assembly elections to make a tangible change to the british democratic process. today let's continue to move forward with voter 16 striking what precedent has been sut, whilst the momentum is on our side with the proof that 16 and 17-year-olds are willing to engage. nyps i urge you to put your faith one more time, for one last push, for one more year into votes at 16. let's ensure over the next year we do not lose the momentum not up to this point so that finally we are able to see through the cause that we all hold so dear to our work in the youth parliament. nyps i envision the youth parliament a year from now, standing in the house of commons, being able to stand proud and say our work on 16 is finally complete. hopefully you all believe in my vision, too. and will choose to stand today with me and to keep votes at 16 our national campaign so that finally at last our regime can become a reality. thank you. >> thank you very much, indeet, for opening the debate in such a spirited and compelling fashion. to oppose the motion, i call and i ask you to welcome warmly, mr. neil riley. >> thank you, mr. speaker. my friends, some of the arguments for votes at 16 we hear time and time again are truly uninspiring. rhyming off a list of web rehearsed rights, this doesn't begin to constitute an argument. this doesn't begin to engage with the question, as to whether or not giving 16-year-olds the vote now will benefit them or society at large. that's the question we should be asking ourselves. many argue votes at 16 would increase the dismal turnout figures we've seen in recent elections. it won't. just because 16-year-olds could vote, doesn't mean they would. i'm not saying we don't know enough to vote. it is clear from everything we have seen today, that we do, but what young people up and down these aisles don't believe in is our political process can represent these opinions. i have met young people from schettlands to derry, all vote does is change the color of the prime minister's tie from red to blue to back again. it's clear there's disillusionment. that's the problem. that's what we need to address. the fact the vast majority of young people see politicians as 50 shades of beige. not worth their time. this policy doesn't even begin to address political disengagement. all it does is extend a broken and mistrusted franchise. talk about tokenism. let's address the misunderstanding, the disgust at our political system and then let us consider lowering the voting age to 16. voting for this policy again would be a mistake. we have already campaigned on it. we have fought this fight. what more could we realistically do? come 2015, if you believe the polls, we will have a party in government that would give us the vote almost immediately. why would we waste a year campaigning on something that is very likely to happen anyway? surely our resources our time, our very limited money could be better spent fighting for the living wage, for the most disadvantaged in our society. when people working three minimum wage jobs struggle to pay the bills when young people in all of our constituencies have to choose between a warm meal and a warm home, it's evident there's a problem. it's evident to me that as the uk youth parliament, it's our duty to address that. i, therefore, urge each and every young person in this chamber to vote not for votes at 16 but for something that truly needs our support. that helps the most vulnerable in our society and serves the people who elected us. thank you. >> thank you very much indeed for that. now, who from scotland would like to contribute? yes. the gentleman here with the pink tie, i think. yes. >> thank you, mr. speaker. i'm john gast. there were points made, but talk about is that what could we really do is something that's likely to happen. it doesn't mean it's going to happen. we could use that time to see it through and put it and make sure it will happen. we don't know it won't happen. four years count line it's not happened. we can only point ourselves that we didn't use encouragement and what we had to push it and follow it through. thank you. thank you. how about the contributor from yorkshire? yes, the young woman three along, whom i identified earlier. yes, let us hear from you. >> thank you, mr. speaker. i'm ever so proud to represent the constituency of causedale. 94% of young people use social media sites such as facebook and twitter. which means 94% of young people witness some form of political activity every day. whether it be through pages, statuses, pictures video. we witness political activity. so this means that 94 of young people are engaged in some form of political activity. scrap that. i'm actually going to go as far to say that 100% of young people are engaged in some form of politics. it's inevitable the whole world revolves around politics. every decision we make involves some form of political process. so why not trust these people? why not trust 16 and 17-year-olds when witnessing all this political action, we form morals, we form principles, we form opinions that can easily be applied to a general election? now, as mr. speaker kindly pointed out not that long ago, i had the honor of listening to then-mr. speaker speak at halifax, where mr. speaker outlined engaging young people and modernizing the house of xhonz so that more young people are engaged. mr. speaker himself said that young people are not disengaged in politics. that is a myth, which i'm sure we all agree with we've all sat in this room. so, i point to you, let's eradicate the enormous social defied this country is witnessing, this nation is witnessing, between young people and adults. and let's get everyone together. let's show the world that 16 and 17-year-olds are capable, are responsible and deserve the vote. get behind votes at 16. thank you. >> thank you very much, indeed. now, i think there is from the west midlands -- well, there's something who -- there's somebody who wrote to me took the great trouble to write to me called hazeem ariff. that is you. let's hear you. >> in this country young people can marry at the age of 16 but we cannot elect the representatives. we can join the armed forces at 16. we cannot choose a government who chooses our battles. we are liable to pay taxes at 16 but we have no influence on how they are spent. we are citizens. and as citizens we should be allowed to vote at 16. and not allowing us to do so puts us in the same category as prisoners. if we give 1,545,382 16 and 17-year-olds in this country the ability to vote, it will improve the voting turnout, which is imperative for our country. let me finally say my fellow nyp said, vote at 16 has never happened and will never happen. let me tell you, there is nothing, nothing in this country that ukyp cannot achieve. so, i urge you to vote for this motion. thank you very much. >> thank you. thank you, hazeem. now, british forces overseas i think there was another person who wished to contribute. shona henry? >> thank you. at the moment 1.5 million people are currently denied the vote because they're underage. that one month they were born after someone just they can't have a choice in how this country is run. you're allowed to join the army at 16. you are allowed to go and fight for our country, you're allowed to go and fight battles to protect us all, but you don't have a choice in how this government is run up. don't have a choice in how our education is run. of course, voting at 16 won't solve youth disengagement overnight, but it can definitely help solve the problem. many teens probably feel disenfranchised from society which is perhaps why they cause things such as riots. 100,000 people -- over 100,000 people in the scottish referendum voted, which shows the interest in -- the interest in 16-year-olds and 17-year-olds. that's why we should have a choice. >> thank you very much. what about the northwest? the first person i saw from the northwest, smiling at me in an original way, with the benefit of his owl. is it an owl? wonderful display of what i will describe as ingenuity or personal enterprise. let's hear from you. this is going to be a hoot. >> i'm glad you liked it because i would look like an absolute idiot if you didn't. i'm 6'6". my hand can fit in the backside of an owl. i can grow a fairly solid beard. to me i look like an adult. i think like an adult. why can't i vote like an adult? thank you. >> thank you, very much, indeed. now, what about us hearing from somebody from london. this young lady here. gosh, there's so many. >> thank you, mr. speaker. at 16 you can leave home, you can have sex, you can even get married, you can even join the army. all this all these apply to otherhood. if are you an adult at 16 then why is the government refuse inging to lower their voting age to 16? we are old enough to have a baby but not old enough to vote. it makes no sense. >> thank you very much, indeed. now, how about somebody from the southeast? we'll hear from the woman in a dark blue dress, waving a rather -- abandoning my imapartment just a moment i hope you don't worship mr. putin. i would have some worries about you if you did. but you don't. now let's hear from you. >> thank you, mr. speaker. i'm from buckinghamshire in the southeast southeast. i would like to say that we cannot adopt votes at 16 on a defeatist front. people think we require political education before being enfranchised at 16. but what is then the value in education when there's nothing to put what we learn into practice? how can you then justify the thousands of adults who may have left school in thirteens who can cast a ballot at a general election? would you deny them their votes? do you think a first-time voter at at ij of 22 would vote because of a citizenship lesson? we cannot delay this campaign by pandering to the prejudices of people who already have the vote and use that vote against us because as jon stewart argued, the vote that is held by people and not by others is a form of power that can be used against others. this campaign is about giving a to voice. about stopping cases like in the iraq war where british soldiers who were under 18 died without ever having a chance to cast their votes in a general election for the country they decide for. thank you. >> thank you very much, indeed. what about the southwest of england? the gentleman jumping up and down in a mildly eccentric manner with his -- yes, right here with the light gray suit. yes, your good self. david beckham lookalike. >> hi my name is kieran, i'm from devin obviously in the southwest. we are all young people here. young people deserve a vote. i would have loved to have chosen the government i would grow up into but i'm not going to. we need to take the initiative we haven't had now ever heard the phrase that nothing is possible? well, this is possible. we can do it. we've done many things before. how many people would love to turn around to their children and say, if it wasn't for us you wouldn't be able to vote at the age of 16 and 17? that's why i'm 110% for this motion. >> thank you very much. what about someone who wishes to speak from the northeast of england. are you from the northeast? not from the northeast. yes, yes. let's hear from this young gentleman from the northeast. >> i'm danny brown from the northeast. so we've all heard the arguments, as it's pointed out. i'm many not going to repeat them. we all know. so many great campaigns but how many people have said to you, what you do is pointless. you're not going to make a change. you sitting in this room right now is making a change. so being in here why don't you make a change for the 1.5 million young people who can't vote. on wednesday i turn 15. my question is will i have to wait a year to vote or another three years? so let's do this for all. let's have a revolution. let's make britain great again. >> thank you very much, indeed. can we hear from somebody from the east midlands? yes, what about this gentleman here. yes, your good self. >> from the east midlands. thank you, mr. speaker. vote at 16 is an issue which has received much attention from ourselves and other organizations in the past years. it's become obvious there's an issue, young and old. however, do we really feel by voting for this national campaign for a second year we contribute significantly to making progress towards achieving our end goal? given the youth select committee only recently finished their report to the issue was restarting the process beneficial? especially when we could concentrate on another issue. one which would make much more support and make a mark. thank you. >> thank you. >> anybody from northern ireland wishing to speak in this debate? your good self. >> thank you, mr. speaker. i'm rebecca conley. i hold no doubt in my mind that a time will come when the vote needs lowered. with the recent success in scotland, under phenomenally high percentage of 16 and 17-year-old voter turnout, as well as the time for change in northern ireland, vote at 16 is inevitable. as francesca previously stated, vote at 16 is not in the manifesto of two of the leading parties, so we need to ask ourselves, how much good can we do to something that has progressed beyond the reaches of our democratically elected grasp, so i urge you, do not fall into the same trap we did last year. vote for something we can make a real difference on. vote against this motion. >> thank you. what about the east of england. who have we got from the east of england. yes, you've been champing at the bit for some time. let's hear from you. >> thank you, mr. speaker. i'm leah i'm from hartfordshire. at 16 you can have sex, start a family, join the army, and i'm sorry to fall into your stereotypes, mr. reilly. imagine if you had a baby and you couldn't vote for its future. i know i would be distraught because i would want the best for my child and i wouldn't want somebody else deciding its future. i completely agree with those that say that 16-year-olds are too mature to vote, but what about those who are mature enough? what about those who are politically minded? think about those people. so, vote 16. >> thank you. now, i think we could usefully hear from somebody from wales. from wales. yes, the young woman here with the flowery dress. yes. >> thanks, mr. speaker. i'm jenna william article 12 says young people are entitled to have a voice. not being able to vote takes that right from a young person. at 16 you can commit to a marriage and sexual relationships. surely, if can you do that, they can make a click on a box of their choice. thank you. >> anybody else from london? good heavens. i'll sorry, this is difficult. this gentleman has been trying for quite some time. let's hear from you. >> thank you. >> now, of course, the main idea is that this issue affects every single person sitting in this room presentlily. i'm going to skim over other points. i would like to state what's unfair. it's unfair can you work and contribute to this country but you can't vote on where the money goes. you can join the army and fight for your nation, but you can't decide how it's run. i don't think it's fair can you have sex with your local np but you can't vote for who they are. what do they say? they say we're not mature enough. on my 18th birthday i'm going to wake up and say i'm mature. now i can vote. when you wake up on your 18th birthday, does that really happen? i've heard a lot of people say, we can't do it. we can't make a big enough difference. look at where we are and look at what we're doing. we are making a difference already. just because we don't have a voice now doesn't mean we won't have one in the future. it's important we push for this because we represent the young people. even though it is likely to happen in the future, we need to push this through to the end. let's unite together as young people and show the world we're more than just kids. >> i'm going to take one more speaker from northern ireland. your good self. >> thank you, mr. speaker. holly morrison, northern ireland. now, i know my opinion is probably going to be an unpopular opinion but i believe 16-year-olds are not ready for the vote just yet. 16-year-olds are very impressionable at this age. we vote how our parents have voted. we know no other way. we don't -- we're just beginning to become our own independent person. how can we expect to vote for somebody when we don't know what they value from another time apart from election time. if we take those at face value, we could end up aerlting a system that doesn't benefit either of us. but it is true that voting increases with age. we can become complacent. if we can get the votes, we're be like, yeah we can vote. that's it. it doesn't guarantee we are going to actually guarantee we are going to vote. it's good for us to support vote at 16 because we're interested in politics. but go out into the street and ask someone, who would they vote for? i guarantee a lot would have no clue. we do not have enough education and knowledge about the parties in schools political education is not open until "a" level. can you be misinformed and spoil your votes. when my brother and all were picking their candidates. i had no idea how to vote. i had no idea. i'm 16. that would be the voting range that is open. so maybe we're not just ready for the vote. maybe another generation can do but we just need to set the motion down for a while and campaign on something more worth while. thank you. >> thank you. now, to conclude this debate, of england. >> thank you mr. speaker. first i want to say, london, chill. okay, thank you. i don't want to die before i do my speech. this is not by far the first time we've heard this debate. i know many here have strong feelings toward the subject, should 16-year-olds have the vote. last year we decided to make this our campaign based on our passion and duty towards the young people we represent. with a youth selective committee to act on. one, putin does not approve. two, current public opinion supports the current voting age of 18. two -- no, three, sorry. there are a lot of issues surrounding a reduction to the voting age, which would have to be addressed either prior to or alongside with a reduction to 16 to make the transition as smooth and democratically as beneficial as it should be. four, is a direct quote from the report. we are very proud at the democracy in which we live and its history and traditions. we are absolutely convinced that 16 and 17-year-olds have the attitude and the apt tight to take a full part in democracy. not only to include a new cohort of citizens in decisions about their lives and communities, but to assure are better informed, more engaged generation is equipped to take our democracy into the future. however, i must emphasize that the question has been asked here today, isn't whether or not we support lowering the voting age to 16. it's whether we truly believe that spending another actively pushing for it will be in the best interest of those we sit in this very chamber to represent. would 12 months not mean more to this campaign whose roots go back decades or to back mental well-being. that is now the center of discussions on health. or to giving young people a stable foundation to not only build their futures or the ability to reset the exams of our most kor subjects. or are we going to see this through, show the drive and determination that i know each and every one of us here is capable of. last year we were told to strike whilst the iron is hot. it is we who have made the iron hot. when it was first proposed here in 1999, the motion was defeated. 36 votes for, 434 votes against. now with the backing of two major political parties as well as support in wales scotland and northern ireland is proof of a monumental change. achieved on the hard work of young people and organizations across these aisles. so i ask you is this mission accomplished? is it time to move on to pastures new? to lead another glorious crusade to stick it to the man? perhaps. no matter what we decide to campaign for we feel secure in the knowledge if this youth -- it will be one of democracy and innovation adhering to a proud tradition of progress that has made britain truly great. thank you. >> thank you very much indeed for that. i fear you know that i'm going to tell you that that sadly must conclude the debates for today. we've had our five debates. it's never possible to accommodate everybody. i give a heartfelt sorry to people who wanted to contribute and weren't able to do so. i would love to hear from every single one of you, but time simply doesn't allow. they have been superb debates. fun, invigorating informative for you. but also hugely valuable to members of parliament and to civil society as a whole. the more people who hear from you, the more impressed they will be. the youth parliament will now divide to vote on which of the five subjects debated today to select as its national campaign issue. in the lobby members of the youth parliament you will be given two ballot papers. one for the two reserved that is to say, uk wide subjects and one for the three devolved issues. for today's purposes, i believe england only. you should place a cross in the box next to the subject you'd like to vote for on each ballot paper and hand the completed ballot papers to the doorkeepers in the lobbies. those doorkeepers will be visibly obvious to you. just in case somebody doesn't know who they are, would they care to identify snemsz okaythemselves? okay. hands up. i think you can see who the doorkeepers are. thank you very much, indeed. afterwards, that is to say, when you voted, please return to your place in the chamber. those of you on my right should leave the chamber by the door behind me and turn left into the lobby behind you. those on my left should leave by the doors on the far end and turn left, far end there and turn left into the no lobby behind you. members of house of commons staff will be on hand to assist you. i shall disappear for a short period while you're voting and then i look forward very much to returning. we have further observations to be made in store for you. and i can now declare that the division lobbies are open. >> while president obama, vice president joe bideen and his wife will be traveling to state community college in knoxville, tennessee, he'll talk about efforts to create new jobs. president will propose a plan to make the first two years of community college free. you can see live coverage set for 1:20 eastern about an hour from now on our companion network c-span2. here's a preview of the president's marks from tennessee congressman steve cohen. >> thank you, mr. speaker. today the president will be speaking in knoxville, tennessee, on extending college education to americans. i share with the president the goal of giving more americans the opportunity to go to college, but i would submit to him, he should not be holding up the tennessee promise plan in tennessee as an example. he should be holding up the tennessee hope lottery scholarship program which i worked 20 years to achieve in tennessee and provided over $3 billion to education, $250 million a year. scholarship programs should have standards for students to achieve. they should have strong standards in college to maintain them. they should be in addition to pell grants and in addition to other scholarships to pay for books and tuition. the promise plan takes from middle class and lower income students and gives to higher income stu

eastern democratic of congo and deadline for them to surrender passed on january the 2. the group being targeted is the democratic forces for liberation of rwanda or fdlr and the largest rebel group in the eastern drc with 1400 fighters. the rebels are accused of taking part in the 1994 genocide in rwanda before crossing over the border into the democratic republic of congo and may be hard to together as they blended in civilian population and could use them as human shields but they hope if the fdlr is defeated other armed groups in the region will also disintegrate and we have this exclusive from from the easterneporter: we have to drive through eastern congo hills for two days to meet with fdlr rebels and most people living here have more contact with armed groups than their own government and fighters from neighboring rwanda have been hiding in this area since 1994. some of the groups members accused of genocide back home. it's also been accused of mass rapes and killing civilians in congo. we reach a hill top village under fdlr control and shows us around and said they laid down arms and don't want to fight and said they want a dialog with the rwanda government. >> translator: they tell us we are criminals, let them point out the criminals among us and we will sideline them. but what about the rwanda army massacres of people in rwanda and congo and the solution for the problem is truth and reconciliation. >> reporter: no fighters or guns on show here. instead we are taken to a meeting with their wives and children. the fdlr says they are among the victims of any attack. the rebels given the
