they attempted to move elan and his 5-year-old brother to a safer home. abdul arranged for his family to board a boat by way of greece, a journey many transparented. when the kurdish families, they were surprised how crowded the boat was. despite repeated questions about the voyage, they assured abdullah, it would be okay. shortly into the trip the water became rub you rough, rocking it back and forth until it capsized causing the passengers including elan, his mother and 4-year-old brother into the waters, and abdullah was unable to save his family. this photo, this photo which was taken shortly after elan's dead body was washed ashore opened the world's eyes to this devastating crisis. within hours of this photo being posted people across the world began to share it on social media, using the hashtag in airic that translates to washed onto shore. what haunts us even more than that than that before our eyes is the fact that the united states will continue to do nothing meaningful about it. the conflicts of interest in syria, iraq, remember onand elsewher

they really should call it elan's headache rather than the model x. of the massive headaches besides these wild doors is the seats. and the middle seats actually sit on these pedestals that slide black and forth. to the average person they might not look that complicated, but from an engineering standpoint, they're extremely complicated because they really have to stand up to a lot of loads. you have to think about putting a 250 pound guy in that seat and then crashing it. it has to be able to slide back and forth. so one of the engineers said if you took all the plastic off this pedestal. it would look like something no octopus should ever have to billionth buil build. so it's very complicated. >> the buzz about electric vehicles is on the slide. gas prices are dropping and sales are plummeting, too, of electric vehicles. tesla is losing money. how big a gamble is a model x? >> well, it's a really big gamble. as i said, it's a very complicated car. this car probably would have been out in the show rooms about a year ago, maybe even two years ago had

of it imagines and that image we have seen repeatedly today and the past week of the three-year-old elanthe beach like a piece of driftwood brought this problem into focus. >> it is amazing how most americans were sleeping until we saw the boy and it humanized things and we went over the pictures. this is a perfect storm of humanitarian disasters. there are many contributors but this is also a natural security problem of the first order. we stand to loss a generation of refugee kids who are not properly educated or employed. this is where our fear of terrorism redoubles. we do not want the folks coming in because we wore about potential terrorism. on the other hand, this international failing of the first order is creating a whole generation of dislocated people which could be a problem. >> we have this of refugees, a very troubling split in the union with the richer countries hike germany generous in accepting and sheltering refugees but some of countries that do not have that kind of money and hungary is a rhyme example, have been much more reluctant to bring if refugees and are oppose

elan musk, of course, has thought of everything. if he could kolonnize mars, he can get my kids into the car. i should have known. >> i like the fact that the audience applauded the door like they applauded the lanyard on the ipod back in the day. this was theatrical and awesome. the most important thing that happened with this tesla launch is what happened -- what's happening in silicon valley. if you look at what google is doing with driverless cars, if you are looking at what tesla is doing, looking closely at what tesla is doing, and thn you look a little to the east, you notice detroit is sitting on its hands. i got to wonder, this is fascinating to me. this fantastic -- it's inspirational innovation going on. i don't know. i'm wondering where the guys who are selling cars are. this is so reminisce ebt of the old railroad story. if they weren't in the railroad business or the transportation business, the guys who are in the car business feel like here in the car business, and silicon valley feels like they're in the let's get i

all the syrian refugees know about the fate of little elan and the photo that made the world pay attentiont picture? >> we did. i feel as if he's my baby. >> reporter: so why did you make this journey? >> we are escaping from this. when i see my kids, my family. >> reporter: two of his children became sick on the journey. allowed to rest with their mother inside this aid tent. i am a father also. i have two children. i understand you. >> it's very difficult when you see your children suffer something like this. in front of your eyes. >> reporter: tonight with a german aid volunteer, a make-shift steel barrier was put into place along the railroad track leading iary. the question for those already here is what barriers lie ahead? what do you want the people in europe to know about you and your family? >> i want them to know that we are human beings. we live in homes. we had homes somewhere. and that we came, we are not happy to be refugees. we are obliged to be refugees abroad. it's not a matter of choice. we didn't make this choice. >> that was nbc's lester holt reporting for us. if you wa

elan from the "washington post."to bring up the old thresholds of 6.5% unemployment and 2.5% inflation as the period during which the fed promised to keep interest rates low. that has sort of assumed, i guess sort of suggested that the fed was comfortable with inflation rises above 2% but you just said moments ago that you don't want to wait until inflation actually hits your target before you are ready to lift off. i wonder if you could explain that a little bit. is there a shift in how much inflation the fed is actually willing to accept? >> so let me be clear. 2% it our objective. we want to see inflation go back to 2%. 2% is not a ceiling on inflation. so we're not trying to push the inflation rate above 2, it's always our objective to get back to 2, but 2% is not -- is not a ceiling and if it were a ceiling

he had elan musk last week.ut new products. did you see the eight-page pullout in the "new york times" for the new steve jobs movie? i have no idea what that would have cost bu that is a heck of an advertisement for a movie. >> that is a heck of an advertisement and i've heard it's a pretty good movie. >> we saw that wall street is shrugging off china's lows. are we getting to a point where the flatlining of china's market -- if you're an investor in caterpillar and up nope they made a lot of money out of china's growth in the past, bad news out of china has been measured in and bad news isn't going to keep falling? >> i don't know. i'll say i think so. i know it a weak answer. if today was december 31st, joe, and we ended the year now, the dow being down 8% for the year, this would be the third worst year for the dow since 1977. this has not been a good year for the stock market. if it doesn't improve, you wonder if the market does start to play into the political conversation. for the presidency for next year,

(laughter). >> there's the helicopter there. >> there it is. >> prevued by the united states of america. >> again he's making his point i think that he had just expressed to the bishops, you k

elan from "the washington post." i want to piggy back and bring up the old thresholds of 2.5 inflation as the period in which the fed promised to keep interest rates low. that has sort of assumed or suggested that the fed was comfortable with inflation rising above 2% but you just said moments ago you don't want to wait until inflation actually hits your target before you are ready to lift off. is there a shift in how much inflation the fed is willing to accept. >> 2% is our objective. 2% is not a ceiling on inflation. so we're not trying to push the inflation rate above 2. it's always our objective to get back to 2. but 2% is not a ceiling and if it were a ceiling, you would have to be conducting a policy that on average would hold the inflation rate below 2%. that is not our policy. we want to see the inflation rate get back to 2% as rapidly as we can. but there are lags in on the impact of monetary policy on the economy and if we waited until inflation is back to two, that would probably mean that unemployment had
