only the rocket but also the unique science experiment by students in georgetown and george washington universities. those experiments written volving plants on the space station to determine if they would help pair identify air on board, to see if they would purify the air. >> reporter: here on chincoteague island, hundreds came to this marina to watch the rocket launch off in the distance. they tell us they could feel the shock wave after the explosion. i spoke with noomds it will be at least a week to see what caused the failure that caused that explosion. they did tell me that they have been spending today, searching the area for hazardous material and other debris. and ground crews will come in and begin to do a closer examining of the launch site. the good news is the launch pad wasn't as severely damaged as they first feared. they said they'll be up and running again about three months from now. >> we had a lot riding on it. people were committed to this program so it is a huge disappointment. >> reporter: hear on chincoteague island, a lot of people were concerned that the wild ponies. we s

george washington. in this -- this video apparently is becoming a youtube sensation. this is ava. sensing a pr opportunity, george washington university in washington responded with a great video offer. gw as you see right there invited her to a basketball game this season. they say she'll get the v.i.p. treatment, get a seat with her name on it. at this point we still don't know if she's actually accepted that invitation yet. >>> well, former baseball slugger and admit steroid use jose canseco is being treated for a gunshot wound. he shot himself in the hand yesterday while he was cleaning his gun in his las vegas home. it is unclear if there will be any charges filed in the shooting. his girlfriend now says canseco has already undergone surgery and is expected to be okay. >>> that is good. one run scores. going to second is moustakas. the royals lead 1-0 in the second. what a night for the kansas city royals. they would add six more runs in the 2nd inning of game six. they shut out the giants 10- 0,the series is tied at three games a piece. the seventh and deciding game tonight in san comes city. >> i have my royal blue tie on tonig

tonight as george washington university political science director david brayer about the poll. >> all of the polling i've seen is the economy is dominating people's conversations and the taxes, the spending, even to them it's a liberal state, i think a -- even though it's a liberal state, i think a lot of people are saying i'm not doing much better, so maybe we need to change. >> reporter: a lifelong democratic voter, backer of hillary clinton, she early voted for the republican hogan. >> i went to vote for governor. i had hit the republican selection and it turned out to be -- it popped up to the democrat. >> reporter: sullivan eventually got to successfully vote for the republican, but it raises another issue. reports of about four dozen voters of voting machines in error switching votes from republican to democrat which could prompt more gop voters to the polls in reaction according to our political scientist, but the race still remains brown's to lose. >> if the base turns out enthusiastically, brown wins. >> we did all the brown campaign for comment on that poll. we got a call ba

the george washington university engineering major worked with three others on a proposal to nasa to send their experiment to the space station, a test tube experiment to study the way seeds germantowninate in space. >> we spent countless hours on writing our research proposal on how it would be accepted. we were so excited to know that it would be going to the international space station. >> reporter: they went to the launch pad monday to see the aborted launch, enough of a disappointment but the senior on tuesday insists she wouldn't miss class it even watch the launch on tv. might be better off she miss this spectacle than watch her work go up in flames. but there is hope for her and her colleagues. she hopes her experiment will go up on another launch. >> i am excited to have our research going to the international space station. >> reporter: you may be wondering how long it will take to replicate that experiment. shibazi says it will take some doing but not as long as the original one and expects a relaunch within a month or two. >>> they are american heros and must be treated w

my name is john pierce, an a student at george washington university. you mentioned earlier in the context of the former yugoslav conflict the people on the west were telling you what you're telling people in the west today in regards to ukraine. why you think what you were saying in 1994 doesn't apply in 2014? >> well, i compared with yugoslavia with only one reason, trying to give example that the violation cannot be accepted in one case and not excepted in the other case. if we don't have the continuity we don't have the same rules of game for everybody. there will be violation. now about the agreement of 1994, which was agreed between the countries. it was to give a guarantee of the country, of their security. and i think that today nobody wants to undermine the security of ukraine. it was, if you remember, it was the relations with nuclear weapons. it means if ukraine had nuclear weapons, maybe this crisis would be more dangerous for europe and for everyone, and ukraine without nuclear weapons. because when you have a responsible politician, nuclea

. >> joining us now is director of the school media and public affairs at the george washington university. is this saturation coverage of ebola contributing to a sense of fear in the public? >> to some extent justified and to some extent not. a headline grabbed me, passenger collapses and dies getting off flight. but this story is all about fear and fear sells. >> i was watching cnn the other day and they did not come off the ebola story for one minute. they have plenty of company here and i do think we should point out the news organizations most of them are trying to be responsible but the coverage and hour by hour updates and news conferences can convey a sense that something terrible has happened. >> there's a real story here. it's a mystery. the best line i saw was in the washington post today. this is a biological and psychological plague and fear can spread faster than the virus and that's true. we don't know what surrounds this. how large the numbers are. how big it's going to get. it's confounded and that's a great piece in the post today. it has confounded the world health organ

i have a new paper out on the subject from the mercatus center a george washington -- george mason universityhinking about privacy and security and smart cars or driverless cars, we need to begin first by understanding, acknowledging that security and privacy are relative concepts with a very amorphous boundaries. not everyone affixes the same value on security or privacy. it's a very subjective notion and concept. some people are hyper cautious and hypersensitive about their privacy the others are risk takers that are just somewhat indifferent or more pragmatic about their privacy but we all say we love our privacy but sometimes we do things that actually in the real world act differently. this is called the so-called privacy paradox. secondly, we should understand security and privacy norms tend to evolve over time and do so very rapidly. with any new highly disruptive technology, such as intelligent the coal technology, we tend to often panic at first especially about the privacy applications of new technologies but then we very quickly move to a new plateau. we established new ethical and

we are joined by a professional of international finance and business at george washington universitydriving prices down? >> well, this is a number of factors. first of all, global growth has slowed down. the u.s. is creeping out of its recession. europe is flat if not going negative. things are not good in europe. the brics have slowed down, and the mints that we call, malaysia, indonesia, and turkey is not enough steam to get the oil growth going. so that's the primary reason. but there are a couple of other things. we know that shale oil and gas is coming online. and refining has gone uninterrupted and the saudis are in the game now, they have increased their output. >> why are countries like saudi arabia overproducing at this point? >> well, this is the geopolitical area. saudi arabia has increased output, and there are lots of theories out there. one is perhaps oil prices are being pushed down to punish russia. because for the russians they need about $98 a barrel to keep their budgets clean. below $98 a barrel, they get into trouble. for the saudis the market is around $80 a bar
