joined by jonathan hanson, author of "guantanamo, an american history", and senior lecturer at harvard university. the united states operates military facilities across the globe, including in many places of ambiguous standing. as many places in the western pacific that are american territory or not quite. why did this facility end up at guantanamo. >> that's a good question. i want to clarify the places in the pacific are under joourz dictional constitution. guantanamo, since the beginning of the u.s. lease gave us guantanamo bay, dating from 1903. the reason is that cuba retained sovereignty at guantanamo. the u.s. was given control and jurisdiction there, and that m big uty led to the -- ambiguity led to app development of a place beyond the reach of u.s. constitutional law, cuban law and international law. starting in the 1970s, and again in the 1990s, different administrations began to use guantanamo bay to detain refugees in haiti and cuba, because of the loophole. theoretically nobody had legal jurisdiction there. >> i want to push on that point a little bit hard. you visit american milita

the federal reserve system is welcoming a new member, robert steven kaplan of harvard university will be the new president of the dallas fed. michael mckee is here to talk about what exactly he brings to the table. what do we know about him? michael: he was the head of investment banking at goldman sachs until 2005 when he joined the harvard faculty and runs his own investment firm. he is also on the board of directors. of state street corporation. he has a lot of wall street ties in his written several books on leadership. the dallas fed is very free market and very independent thinking and it looks like they got somebody who may follow that mold. mark: those wall street ties, will critics of the fed see that as a help or a hindrance? critics will not like the idea of another wall street person going to the central bank but this is a done deal in the sense that the bank board of directors picks the new president and the federal reserve ward of governors can either both them up or down and they have approved him so he will be taking office in september. he will be on the board when th

some universities and harvard is one of them and harvard lawence school and area schools have said werequire faculty to publish this way so i would hope every university and every research institution would take this pledge the open access pledge. it doesn't say you can't publish further for-profit journal but t you are always agreeing to mag a version of it available for free on the web open access in theeri vin vinmack is if someone can afford tens of thousands of dollars for the journal they don't have to.ght it's completely consonant and it's only about making a pledge and standing up and saying we gn are only going tog license a certain version to the publisher so that's entirely possible.th the place where it's tricky as in books which is particularly for the books that are in the modern era and the books were nobody's going to an rate to publish it open access where there's need to get compensated to make their livelihood. as a professor i didn't need any money and don't get paid money to write this journal articles. that's a slightly different arrangement and the thing that wo

some universities, and harvard is one of them, harvard law school and arts and science and various schools have said we require faculty to publish this way. i would hope they would take the open access pledge not to say you cannot publish it but you are agreeing to make a version for free. it someone can't afford the money for the journal you can get access to the knowledge. copyright law doesn't ban that. it is only about making a pledge and standing up and saying we are only going to license a certain version to the public. that is possible. the place where it is trickiest is in books which is particularly for the books that are in the modern era. and the books where no one agrees to publish and authors need to get paid to make the livelihood. as a professor, i didn't need money and you don't need it. authors do need money for their books. that is a different arrangement and requirement different ways to address it. but you point to the gnarly topics. but i think there is more we can do with the copyright regime than we do today. >> as an educator, my question is how do you know digital

food for free has begun an exciting partnership with harvard university.we will hopefully hear more about that today. my role is to briefly help us understand the scope of this problem. in the united states between 33 and 40% of the food we produce here goes to landfills. this problem is only getting worse. between the 1970's and today food waste has increased in the united states by 50%. why is this a problem? well, first, one sixth americans are food insecure. meaning they can't afford the type of nutritious food that would enable them to live a healthy life. we know that the commonly wasted food are fruits, vegetable, seafood. exactly the type of nutritious foods that are sometimes hard to afford for low income families. food is also the largest component of municipal solid waste. it's the largest part of what goes into our landfill. as it breaks down, it produces 23% of u.s. methane emission. we dedicate 25% of fresh water in the united states to producing food that we never actually eat. not to mention significant amount of petroleum and pesticides an

sees the severity of this, the seriousness of this, a young man going to divinity school but harvard university had accepted him and now he is a convicted felon. >> let's back up. just in case people haven't been following this so closely, this is a case of someone at this extraordinary prestigious school in new hampshire where apparently it was a tradition to -- and i'm using quotes, this is how they spoke, score in the senior salute, see how many young women n. this case, if she was a then 15-year-old, he could be with. and so there was how many young women these young men had been this. that's what this was all. >> it was all about that. the defense began their closing argument really an assault on the school, that the school became the parents of these kids as they boarded there and the school allowed this to happen. the school was not on trial. this one young man that you're looking at on your screen was on trial. but it's also significant that they found him not guilty of the most serious charges, the aggravated felonious sexual assault, because an element of that was lack of consent. tha

"when feeney got the boy's help in getting some interest from harvard university, she then ratcheted the pressure and said, look, if you'll go along with this, if you'll engage in this physical relationship with me, i'll get new harvard. and of course, the message in back of that, if you don't, then you're not getting into harvard. that's enormous amount of pressure on a kid. >> reporter: no one was home when we knock at feeney's house. we're told she shares with her husband and children. but her attorney tells us tonight that it's been difficult on her family. the ivy leg educated administrator and coach was terminated from malvern prep immediately. other than kissing, prosecutors say there was no sexual contact... >> we apologize. we lost chris o'connell's audi audios. we are following breaking news right now. a sheriff in washington state now says three firefighters have been killed and at least four more hurt bat ring raging wildfire. the sheriff near spokane confirm the deaths late tonight. washington's governor says conditions remain extremely dangerous. eight fires are burning

a harvard university student who exposed privacy flaws on the company's mobile messenger promptly lost a much-coveted internship. ran kata used data from facebook messenger to create his own app highlighting the bug. it showed where your friends were as they were talking to you. facebook told him to deactivate the app then rescinded their internship offer. he said he was trying to help out but facebook claims he violated the company's user agreement. >>> behind every good shelter is a good volunteer. this is a special week at nbc bay area. there are nearly three dozen animal shelters taking part in our clear the shelters pet adoption this saturday. among the dozens of volunteers around the bay area, one from the humane society of silicon valley is helping out and giving back. from lounging around or jumping for joy, to being the center of a child's attention. the animals of the hue mine society of the silicon valley are never bored. a team of 1,100 volunteers help care for the animals as they wait for a new family and a new forever home. >> i started volunteering with my husband 13 yea

significance of this expansion by talking to tarek who is professor of international relations at harvard universityank you for talking to us. this is quite an achievement, isn't it for the egyptian people? >> i think that's right. and certainly the egyptian government is very proud of this achievement, and believes and has been trying to convince the egyptian people that this expansion of this portion of the suez canal is going to significantly increase traffic through the canal and lead to significant boost in economic growth and development. and i think that's what many of the egyptians are celebrating today, the hope that this new expansion to the canal will bring some much-needed development to that country. >> indeed because the economy is -- is in a fairly poor state, state,n't it? and not helped by the increased situation of insecurity in the country, particularly in the sinai peninsula, which president sisi made reference to in his opening speech. and as a consequence, one of he main money spinners tourism has dropped off. >> that's right. the big sources of foreign currency in egypt are to

so as ona mentioned, last year we started a partnership with harvard university.they, their dining services serves 14 dining halls, and i believe it's about 138,000 meals a week to students. buffet style. and if any of you have ever had a large thanksgiving dinner, there's typically leftovers. it is really hard, the larger you get, to exactly know how much food to make and, just like at thanksgiving, if you're serving it and you're bringing a bunch of people in, you don't want people scraping the last bit of mashed potato off that plate. if i'm harvard and i have students that have paid to eat all semester they come to a later lunch, there can't be two french fries and a half a ladle of soup. they expect to be able to eat what folks ate earlier in the day. so they have done a tremendous job at limiting and at predicting and understanding how much food to prepare, but it is inevitable that they are going to have extra food at the end of each meal. so of that 138,000 meals, we pick up approximately 2,000 meals a week. that's a small percentage of waste. however, tha

he's now at harvard university's kennedy school. ray takeyh was a senior adviser on iran at the state department during president obama's first term. he's now a senior fellow at the council on foreign relations. ray takeyh, the president has tough words today. he talked about how netanyahu was just wrong, he linked the iranian opposition to the republican party, the republican caucus, and he said that he criticized his opponents as arm chair nuclear scientists, but most of all he made this link to people who voted for the war in iraq. was the president on target or off? >> i went back and actually read jack kennedy's speech, and it was idealistic. he said we should not wave the finger of accusation or issue indictments. i think the president was urn yielding, passionate but he did not make a successful pitch to the critics. this is a technologically flawed agreement and the president should have attempted to broaden the parameters of this, the parameters of the conversation about this agreement. i think in that sense the president m

combs, national correspondent for the "new york times," wrote a paper for the kennedy school at harvard university. it's a detailed report. it's really an academic paper. i want to show sean spicer one statement from it and ask you to react. she wrote, conservative media have helped push the party so far to the anti-government, anti-compromise, ideological right, attacks republican leaders for taking the smallest step toward the moderate middle. do you worry that so much emphasis on fox's role in this first debate has that intended -- as that unintended effect? it pushes the candidates to a rightward position that becomes untenable in a general election? >> no not at all. in fact, i think that with all due respect to jackie and harvard and the "new york times" where she writes i think the problem is that nor so long the left wing mainstream media has taken people to the left and only focused us on issues that a lot of conservative activists and republican voters haven't cared about, that there's sort of a shock wave through a lot of the mainstream media when they recognize how the issues and the c

he was a senior at a prep school and had plans to attend harvard university.rs looked at the juror in her opening statement and told jurors, take a look at him. this is not what most people thing a typical rape accuser looks like. look at the defendant. they know that's what they're up against. this accuser's credibility is really on the line here. now her testimony is also crucial because there's not a lot of physical evidence to support that a sexual assault occurred. so her testimony, her oral testimony about what happened has to be believed in order for their to be a conviction in this case. >> eric, how will the allegations about the culture of this exclusive school play into this case? >> the prosecution's trying to throw in the culture part to boost their testimony the side of the accused. what they're trying to show is there's this culture of raping girls, of this senior rite to rape women. >> sexual conquest. >> sexual conquest. >> which the accused has already admitted goes on. he's just saying is it didn't happen in this case. >> yes, he's admitted

the canned school of governments maybe put an ivy league masters program what we've seen from harvard university in with supervisor campos and supervisor wiener has not been any more than someone trying to benefit the folks in san francisco that is the nature of the corruption we want someone that is not afraid to stand up for their issues to make sure the laws are enforced no matter who is coming up up and tribe it didn't see manipulating in the city family i'm not sure how to craft that kind of language to that person can have someone with a record of enforcement a record of some sort of forensics to understand the records of the laws to make determines at the end of the day the buck stops with the ed if not with you all we'll have to live with this person lie mr. sincroy the other choice would have been an unmitigate disaster so it is a tough grab trying to figure out ways to craft to get someone here it is a tough job thank you. >> thank you. >> i'm rob and i was on crystal grand jury i think that should have a session that outlines the leg framework the position and the commission better th
