so this is going to be the focal point. this is the emotional focal point because there's so many people involved in the aircraft who are based here coming here. that's why there's an interest there. the vice president of indonesia is going to be coming. we expected him last hour. he's going to be coming. he's the face of the indonesian government in this crisis. we heard last hour that his flight was delayed coming down here. we know that tony fernandes was in jakarta earlier, meeting with the head of the search and rescue operation. he's returning here as well so he can do everything that he said in a tweet, do everything he can for the family and friends of those victims on board the aircraft. >> thank you scott heidler there, with the latest on the qz8501 >>> a ferry that caught fire in the adriatic sea is being towed to an it lalian court. the -- italian court. the italian navy is carry out a rescue mission to pluck passengers off the vessel. the cargo ship is arriving at barry port in italy. one perp died 227 passenge

energy has been a focal point for investors. the reasons we've been seeing the partnership tuesday drop in the oil prices, oil breaking a four-day losing streak yesterday. keep in mind, still down about 26% over the past one month. today, crude continues to move to the downside, trading at $55.06 down 1.5%. brent crude trading below $60 a barrel. remember, the oil route has put wall street on a wild ride, but billionaire investor wilbur ross telling cnbc that this translates to a bigger stimulus for main street. listen in. >> the reduction in price is a very meaningful thing. to the u.s., i think it adds somewhere between $50 and $60 per month to the average house after tax income. and that's a lot when you consider how many people live from barrel day payroll day to payroll day. >>> and the drama in russia continues. take a look at the ruble. another volatile session for the ruble with the russian currency failing to hold gains after the country's finance ministry said it was selling foreign currency stock. right now, it's trad

is looking at schools as a focal point to provide a good education. if we build it so they can become places where people can learn parenting skills, where people can come for counseling , we believe that school becomes a magnet in a positive way. that's part of the vision. vision is a long way from the current reality and we will have to employ all of these things to get there, but the boys and girls club, the ymca, things like that are critically important and many of you have supported that kind of community center, so thanks for pointing that out. [applause] >> if i could just quickly add, trying to do is exactly the right thing. schools being open six hours a days a week makes no sense. academic enrichment, arts, parents,lasses for schools made into physical resources that are schools have and we need to fully utilize them. and see if they can do more. funding is always a challenge but the idea of school being part of the community, being community centers, not just the academic piece, open 12, 13 hours a day, that exactly the right vision and wh

the question is, is ferguson an example and basically just sort of the focal point of a discussion in this country that we are not as far along as you would like to think, in terms of race relations and there's some the commentary coming out of it from harvard law school, take a listen to the reaction. >> i think about what my father and grand father told me about ration relations way back when i was a young kid. and it's worse now, when you think of people who don't have jobs, who can't go to school, who can't get health care, we are in a situation right now that will create ferguson over and over and over again. it's not just in ferguson, missouri, it's going to be around the country. >> i don't think he's correct. i think there's a heightened focus on his incidents for a number of factors, one, we have lowered crime rates, combined with an insatiable news cycle that makes these isolated incidents more ease city for the media to focus on, because there aren't as many of them. meanwhile you have the nature of other crimes, like gang crimes, which is boring by comparison. you can't fo

[applause] add, youruld quickly vision is exactly the right thing. schools being open six hours a day, five days a week, nine months a year makes no sense whatsoever. afterschool academic enrichment, arts, schools, language, culture, classes for parents, these are amazing resources our communities do have and we need to fully utilizes them. i will reach out and see if they can do more. funding is always a challenge. . the idea of the schools being the heart of communities and community centers, not

think that there is value in charismatic leadership just in the ability to focus and to have that focal point person who can ar ti articulate the needs of african-americans or whatever to the power structure but on the other hand that doesn't seem to be the model of this era and people are moving without that. i have to applaud that. you can't wait on dr. king to come back. it's not going to happen. >> let me ask you this. if there are merits to both kinds of movements, ultimately there's nothing like a ballot box. if you look back at the 2013 municipal election, the african-american turnout was 26%. if i recall -- in ferguson. if i recall, that was somewhat mirrored around the country as well. so ultimately, if change has to happen, charles blow from "the new york times" said, sure, ultimately someone has got to get moving and who is going to push towards the ballot box in the political process? >> i think voting is important. voting is what gets you on those juries so you can make different decision when it comes to the michael browns or trayvon martins of the world. voting helps you

it had become a focal point with a couple staff members partnering with organizations like the boy and girls club is helpful. a lot of the clubs don't have the kind of financing to support. we are reenergizing. they supported the work that we are doing with a $400,000 grant and there are others that can do that but maybe supporting that safe gathering place people can interact with each other and support each other. part of the work on the indian education is also looking at schools as the focal plane so they are there to provide a good education but it's legal to them so that they can also become places where people can learn parenting skills such as where people can come from counseling or support or basketball or come artery or culture or language to believe they become a magnet in a positive way so that's part of the vision. it's a long way from the current reality and we have to employ all of these to get their. i quickly add your vision to exactly the right thing. schools being open to six hours a day, five days a week makes no sense whatsoever so afterschool academic enrichment,

be room on the other side, especially running to the right of jeb bush, we'll see immigration be a focalue. nonetheless, this is the move by the republican establishment, getting behind jeb bush early, anticipating a hillary clinton candidacy. >> the interesting thing will be whether or not he keeps his old position on immigration or goes to his new position, which is more hard line. i want to go to one of the biggest issues with this candidacy. >> the #bush2016 is already very popular. let's go to barbara bush talking about a 2016 bush presidency. >> he's by far the most qualified man. nope, i really don't. i think it's a great country, a lot of great families and it's not just four families. there are other people out there that are very qualified. we've had enough bushes. >> tom coburn echoing, we don't need another bush, period. the idea the american people would have to choose from a clinton and bush, mark, i don't think is all that exciting to people and jeb bush comes with some background. he has lehman brothers baggage similar to the mitt romney baggage. as a brand, does this wor

issue, but the national museum of the american indian act for establishing this museum was clearly the focal point of that effort. with the national dialogue going in-depthhis led to an experience having been part of that, the national dialogue was ,eginning to shape and change at least on the surface, the orientation of the initial outrage of the scientific institutions, which has kevin said, and this was said many more times than once that there are going to be large moving vans pulling up to the loading docks of museums and scientific institutions and everything that is native in their collections, remains orman associated will be taken from those most the ends because they were -- taken from those museums because they were federally funded. which wasnal dialogue going on at the same time began to sensitize through very good interaction, the committee and the committees of congress participated in this just as observers.

one of the focal points at the academy is changing how our officers talk with residents of the city. changing ou they listen, slowing down some interactions that sometimes escalate too quickly. giving officers a chance to wake up until backup and supervision comes. deescalating, using less force whenever possible. these are fundamental lessons that will be taught her we now know that 23 jurors heard from 50 witnesses, more than half of whom were police officers, emergency medical personnel and doctors. unlike the michael brown case, the attorney general is not legally empowered to release any more detail about the grand jury at this time. but the lawyer for officer pantaleo told "the new york times" that in his two hours of testimony, officer pantaleo, quote, wanted to get across to the grand jury that it was never his intention to injury or harm anyone. he was really just edescribing how he was attempting to arrest someone. >> pantaleo said he tried to get off eric garner, kwoek, as quick as he could. >> and thought that once emt arrived, everything would be okay. but it wasn't okay

meanwhile, we backed a couple projects that used humor as the focal point even when discussing seriousics. a filmrite example was about the waste, fraud, and abuse of the united nations. if it were truly accurate and thorough it would be a 10 volume dvd series. we would still be in the second intermission right now. instead the filmmaker found a way to keep it under two hours. it played in theaters nationwide -- normally ifto we get reviewed by the new york times or l.a. times, what do they say good or bad things? , horrible things. they savage us. what do we say? you know you are flying over the target when you are getting shot at. so effective and used humor to break down the barriers so well, that this was praised by nearly every country -- paper in the country. the new york times, l.a. times washington post praised this , film. which allowed me to be a glorious hypocrite and say, even the "new york times" recognized this film. when is the last time those pages printed any words that were negative about the u.n.? not too often. from that point alone it was pretty effective. here is
