honored and i got up that night and opened the paper to see georgetown was to be honored. he was of course instrumental in making this illegal and immoral war in iraq of blitzkrieg, bombing of iraq, thinking about innocent civilians beneath all of those bombs that list of the night that the war, the u.s. against iraq was opened, and justification, state of lies before the united nations to make this possible with the fig leaf of security council cover, was outrageous and despicable on my part and he was at the center of it and i just thought that the value of the honorary degree from georgetown had been lost for me. and so i came up the next morning to meet with the georgetown people to tell them that i couldn't accept this. and when home. >> host: kathleen in melville, new york. we have a couple minutes left. >> a great pleasure to speak with you. it has been a deeply moving and inspiring time listening to you and i am sure for most if not all of the audience, thank you. okay. my question, my husband and i own property, and i was wondering if you would, and the little bit

the study by georgetown university's center on education and the workforce found highly specialized i.t grads twice as likely to be unemployed as theater grads, who may be able to learn a new skill set for the workplace. "people need to work collaboratively. it's not just book learning, but also what you learn outside the book." "i'm not surprised by this study at all." it took stephanie cummings nearly two years to finally land a job. she had a narrow specialization in a tight job market. "a lot of people wanted me to have experience. it's been very hard." cummings' employer says the key was more than technical knowledge. "she wrote well and communicated well. that's important dealing with clients." it's not to say technical expertise isn't required - it is. but now, employers, expecially small consulting firms, are looking to add technicians with skills often associated with customer service. "i think employers want employees who can problem-solve on their own - employees who'll take the ball and run with it." "my resume was all customer service, and it helped me get the position." pa

we have a professor at international law but georgetown university. if the united nations proves it was the syrian opposition that used chemical weapons, washington will be embarrassed? >> i think if it is going to turn out to be the rebels who are using these weapons, these poisonous materials, the u.s. would be embarrassed because it would be the allies of the u.s., the opposition that the u.s. has been supporting, claiming these are people who are fighting for democracy and rule of law, fighting corruption in syria. this is the purpose of the regime change. the u.s. would like to prove, and some of its allies, that it is the regime who has done this. >> according to local tv, a car bomb went off in a crowded christian area after heavy fighting continues on the outskirts of the city. >> still to come, the far east on edge. armies of rescue workers, soldiers, and volunteer struggle to protect russia's city as massive floods threaten the city on all sides. we will bring you the latest on the efforts there shortly. nearly seven months of refusing to ea

professor jonathan brown is a professor at georgetown. his research focuses on conflicts between traditionalism and self-ism. as keith mentioned this session was conceived before the july 3 coup and yes, i did call it a coup. it takes on an additional significance with the removal of president morsi from power. proffs brown will focus on the muslim brotherhood and reactions to his ouster, how this will affect their thinking about pluts and religion. how this will affect their thinking about democratic engagement. professor ahmed will broaden the focus a bit to how the morsi episode will shape islamist ideology and egyptian attitudes more broadly. i hope he also takes a peek at the reaction beyond egypt's borders and how recent events might affect u.s. policy, a subject on which some of you ill know that our own dean has commented recently. so without further ado, let me ask professor brown to take the podium and start us off. we will at the end have a q&a session. >> thank you very much. i think the last time i spoke at one of their event

talking about the time line, and the president just did this very well in his speech he gave at georgetown climate change is happening now, and these heat trapping gases are in the atmosphere for so long. so first of all the warming is going on right now. we can measure it across many different variables, and there's tremendous consensus within the scientific community, because a lot of investment was made in making the public think the scientists were decided on this issue, so i think it's really important to hammer hone this point to make sure everyone knows it is really and it is happening right now. and i think after sandy, a lot of people are really beginning to think that it's time for washington to step up and take leadership on this issue. and more and more americans take climate change seriously, and they want their elected officials to take it seriously as well. >> younger americans have a different perspective than their parents. 66% said climate change is a problem and needs to be addressed. about a quarter of them believe climate change is a natural event that humans cannot im

binghamton although the president promised to take action to protect our planet in a speech at georgetown in june many environmentalists find his position on natural gas here we say lacking obama endorsed natural gas as a safe transitional energy source during that georgetown climate change speech even though the numerous studies have concluded that drilling into shale basins threatens drinking water. sometimes there are disputes about natural gas but let me say this we should strengthen our position as the top natural gas producer because in the medium term at least it not only can provide safe cheap power but it can also help reduce our carbon emissions the debate over fracking is especially potent in new york the empire state is home to some of the country's richest shale gas reserves and despite an active ban on drilling many new yorkers fear that governor cuomo may start allowing fracking to beef up his credentials for a presidential run in two thousand and sixteen. meanwhile texans are living a fracking nightmare that new yorkers can only imagine right in the middle of a brutal drou

patricia rodriguez of georgetown university is worried what the rule willing do to her cancer patients who need drugs that can cost tens of thousands of dollars, even for patients with insurance. >> it's amazing how much the drugs cost. >> reporter: here's why she's concerned. next year under the health reform law, patients with employer-sponsored insurance were supposed to have all out of pocket medical costs capped at a maximum of $6,350. but now for millions of americans, the administration of one year only is allowing a second cap of $6,350 for pharmacy benefits. the ruling exposes some patients to a total of $12,700 in payments plus their premiums. the one-year allowance benefits large employers and insurance companies and seems to sidestep a clear promise from president obama when the president was fighting for the health care law in 2009, caps on what patients would pay was a major selling point. >> insurance companies will have to abade by a yearly cap on how much you can be charged for your out-of-pocket expense. no one in america should go broke because of an illness. >> repo
