they filed one lawsuit against harvard and one against university of north carolina. went. they essentially said that harvard discriminates against asian americans arguing that they're less likely to be admitted than students of other races and ethnicities even if they do meet the same standards. then at unc, where our report is focuseded, they claim the school violates the 14th amendment or the equal protection clause which bars racial discrimination by government entities which they say does include public universities. if you think public opinion is divided on this, you're right. one recent poll found six in ten americans do not want race to be considered in college admissions. but at that same poll, they found that roughly the same number of people do say that programs designed to increase racial diversity on campus, they're good thing. but what do those students think? how does it affect them every what are their experiences and insight in we talked to students on both sides of the issue. take a listen. >> i think that affirmative action is a really terrible thing

then you have opponents like students for fair admissions who sued harvard university and the universitysay using race in any sort of form, it discriminates specifically against white and asian students. this is going to be a big decision. it could end affirmative action. we think we're going to get a decision in the summer of 2023. until then, we're going to really be watching this case. >> what a courts have ruled in the past in decisions that were decided in two case, one with justice o'connor, another with justice kennedy being decisive, both reagan justices, in those cases, they decided that in a limited way, race could be -- it's now, or next year. welcome to fun dining. president biden has now signed the inflation >> that's right, andrea. it would be a big, big difference if affirm action was thrown out completely and these justices ruled that race could not be used to factor in any sort of decision of students. we should note the supreme court had looked at this case multiple times. three times by my count. and each time, they said you can't set aside seats in particular for blac

pose to the civilian population, let's talk about it with a researcher on nuclear safety at harvard university maryana bodzheryn maryana welcome to the broadcast thank you for joining thank you for inviting maryana first of all what is a dirty bomb and how does it differ from a nuclear weapon, well, a dirty bomb, first of all, it seems to me that it is not entirely correct to call it a bomb, it is a device that is superimposed on it, some amount of radioactive material is involved, and in fact it is detonated with an ordinary explosive with the aim of spreading this radioactive radioactive substance, let's say, as high as there are many or some other radioactive isotopes on a certain territory . this is the spraying of this radioactive threat , let's say, to a certain territory. what depends primarily on the amount of the actual radioactive substance and the power of the explosion, that is, emissions, let's say into the atmosphere. how there will not be much of such radioactive, but some diameter, some radius, of the territory on which this device was destroyed will be contaminated, what exact

that, and the petitioner, the party suing harvard students for fair admission is asking for the court to overturn precedent. what we have seen is universitiese harvard brazenly discriminate against asian-american applicants and what we have seen also is that for these elite universities, that they obsess over race. for example, a high school student who is black canabt 110 an invitation to apply, but for white and asian applicants, need to score over 1300, that's a massive gap and those numbers show up all over the place in the admissions process, and so for organizations like ours, our organization, american ideals pact, and folks can learn more about us, we condemn these kind of discriminatory practices. it is long overdue for these practices to be outlawed. >> gillian: might get news any moment things will begin changing, the supreme court may clamp down further on some of the racial profiling at play here. take a look at this. these are harvard different standards for different races. compared to an asian-american student who has a 25% chance of being admitted to harvard as a freshman, the same white student has a 35% chance, same hispa

there is an economist at duke university who said a typical applicant to harvard university, if he is of being admitted. you keep his credentials the same, change his race to black and his chances of admission jump to 95%. that is evidence that it is used as the factor, not simply one of many factors. evidence like that is why the left is quite worried that these racial preference policies are on the chopping block and they should be worried because they are unpopular in america. there was a ballot initiative in california and our largest state that tried to reinstate racial preferences in higher education in 2,020. it was defeated. polls show a majority of whites, blacks, asians and hispanics oppose race-based college admission. the court has a chance to do not only what is constitutionally right but quite popular in this country. paul: don't we want diverse student bodies? don't we want upward mobility for minorities in particular? wouldn't a decision like this hurt those, both of those values? diversity and potential for upward mobility? >> of course we want those things. i think t

there are legitimate ways you can argue asian americans have been discriminated against by harvard universityause they use a particular scientist called personal rating, but here's the thing. they never said how harvard's use of that statistic actually has anything to do with affirmative action, and in fact, if they win, the thing that you won't be able to look at is people's race upon admission. but you will be able to still look at the racist statistic that is actually harming asian americans. so that's the thing. when you let right wing people co-opt your argument, you lose. you lie down with the dogs, you wake up with the fleas, and that's what happened to legitimate aapi concerns throughout this oral argument. >> and watch them have clarence write the decision. because they don't really think diversity matters except when they need somebody like clarence to write a decision like that. thank you both very much. >> up next, a stunning victory for the leftist political candidate in brazil. counters the rights narrative that their ideology is ascendant worldwide, because it sure ain't winnin

groundwork for this kind of human machine interaction is pioneering scientists, barbara groszs of harvard university. for seminal work in what's called natural language processing directly led to the development of voice activated artificial intelligence, like alexa or siri. - natural language processing actually predates artificial intelligence and started with machine translation efforts. - [shivani] the ability for a computer system to carry on a spoken dialogue with a person has been a longstanding goal of artificial intelligence research from its inception. - and it turns out this is a challenge because when you speak, what you say, really dependsn the context in which you say it. - [shivani] another challenge is the meaning of words can change depending on how they're delivered. - so one example is the contrast between saying "that's fabulous" and "that's fabulous." also when we have a conversation, we mark paragraphs at the beginning with a rise in intonation and a fall at the end. so there's a whole way the speech signal tells you someing about the contt and something about the intended mean

that question whether universities can continue to take race into consideration in admissions, harvard universityity of north carolina are being accused of having programs that violate the principle of equal protection. the plaintiffs say affirmative action discriminates against asian americans and are urging the court to overturn precedent to justice is to keep an eye on during arguments tomorrow. clarence thomas, the second black justice on the u. s. supreme court, who has opposed the use and sonia sotomayor a er, the first hispanic on the court, who supports it. the powerball jackpot. it's now up to a billion dollars for tomorrow night's drawing and the lump sum payout option of $497 million. is actually less than what a billion dollar winner would normally take home of officials say the jackpot payout is based on a formula that does include current interest rates, which have gone up in recent months as the fed tries to curb inflation. so for example, if someone wins tomorrow, the payout would be about 48% of the jackpot down from about 59% back on august 3rd the last time there was a winner.

colleagues from the bbc asked the experts on nuclear policy and maryana bonzherin, a researcher from harvard universityexplain to our audience what a dirty bomb is. it is also called a radiological dispersal device. amount of these materials, this device can be hidden in the trunk of a car, it can be even smaller, but radioactive materials cause less damage than it could seem to someone it will not expose people to radiological diseases it is rather a weapon of mass disorder than mass destruction so it is not a nuclear bomb in any case the damage that this bomb causes does not come from a nuclear reaction as such it will not be something more what are used by terrorist groups, what else can they produce independently and use in urban densely populated locations, and again, the most damage will be caused by what panic the explosion will create, by how many people will have to be evacuated while it is necessary to clean up to decontaminate a certain area rather than from the explosion itself. you claim that such bombs were used by terrorist groups rather than countries, or were such bombs used before? th

colleagues from harvard university considered one of these possible scenarios 20 years ago, after therist attacks of 2001 , let's say what terrorist group is preparing an explosion near new york, one of the options is to bring the ship to the shore and during the wind from the sea, the wind there is mainly from the sea and will blow up causing a huge cloud of radioactive dust which settles in manhattan, after which there is a panic, evacuation and complete paralysis of one of the main centers of the world economy, losses of hundreds of billions, possibly trillions, an economic crisis as a result, and so on. regarding radioactive contamination, this is how it is possible, radioactive contamination from a dirty bomb may differ from radioactive contamination from tactical nuclear weapons, because even earlier there were concerns that russia may use tactical nuclear weapons against ukraine, well, again, it depends on the isotropic composition of that radioactive material, and if it is, say, spent fuel taken as a basis, then the level of enrichment there, well, 3-5% is not high, if it is a

hearing the university of north carolina portion of this, because she recused herself from the harvard university about whether or not race is the only consideration and she said essentially that if the universities are looking at a holistic approach why can't race be part of a number of things, including es as and socioeconomic background and why is it okay for a student with a legacy, whose grandparents or parents went there, why is it okay to get credit and why is it not okay to say my ancestors were enslaved and couldn't go to the university. and justice thomas asked this, is diversity valuable. and i heard the word diversity quite a few times, i don't vr v-a clue what it means and he was essentially saying what is diversity and why should it be valuable because universities both harvard and unc are both saying that affirmative action is important because they want to build a diverse community. and we heard from the chief justice thomas, and he talked about the idea, could, chief justice roberts, could neutral policies achieve the same result and asking the same question, if you took race out

hearing arguments about affirmative action in higher education and i believe this involves harvard universitysan: that's right, harvard and north carolina and this is a landmark case against the college admissions process, and they argue that asian and white students are being unfairly discriminated against and approaches in higher education violates constitutional protections and federal law that means you should not consider an applicants race at all and harvard discriminates against asian american students in the lawsuit especially with the personal rankings that we talked about, and that seems to reflect cultural stereotypes about asian students and personalities and makes it harder for asian american students to get acceptance in harvard, despite the fact they have higher scores usually whether in sats or grades and despite the fact you're looking at most diverse supreme court in history. ketanji brown recused herself and we'll see. some say we'll get a ruling in the next month or so. but this could be huge in the admissions process really that could change the entire landscape. stu: aff
