jungle, but the world wants iron. to give you an idea of what is involved, this one massive truck carries about enough iron ore to make a couple hundred cars. the bigger this mine gets, the greater the impact on the natural world. a nasa satellite picture of the rain forests reveals how the ocean of green is scarred by the huge scale of the mind. the company that carved out tose giant chasms now claims be green and says they will fill them in when they are finished. saplings are ready to be planted. the aim? to restore the rain forest. >> it is a very long term drawn. -- long-term challenge. we do research all the time to be sure we have the right plants and species of plants to bring back nature afterwards. >> but the nine is due to push into new areas. -- the mine is due to push into new areas. there is a lost world beneath the forest. we enter a cave with four different species of bats. the survey is funded by the mining company. and brazil's conservation agency agrees they are trying to be greener. >> the company

in the past, 10,000 trucks rushed here every day to load the iron ore for delivery. but nowadays there are few trucks as business gets worse, companies need less steel made from iron ore. now as much as 10 million tons is piled up at the dock. because china had bought more iron ore than any other demand prices falling around the world. at the iron ore exchange in beijing which opened in may, both prices and sales volume have slumped lower than any one had foreseen. >> translator: steel makers are pessimist ache boic about the s. i don't think the market for iron ore will improve any time soon. >> nhk world's correspondent joins us from beijing. what are the impact are flagging exports having on china's economy? >> china is spending less money in the domestic market. they're well aware that prosperity depend on selling chinese overseas. now other countries are buying fewer goods from china, the chinese are adopting a cautious outlook for their economic future. and one sign is people and the companies reining in their spending. an expert says the program also rising in

and it's mostly used for just iron. we do everything from sword hilts, which you have here, to pieces of armor, to tools, to various other things. but it's the safest way to remove the rust that we had found. you can see that he's being very careful. he's not shooting directly at the artifact but is kind of shooting off to the side. and the rust is coming off somewhat easily, but it takes a little bit of work, a little bit of patience, and a lot of skill. takes a long time to develop the skills to be able to do a piece like that. it's normal for us to sit here eight hours a day doing this. and we enjoy it. we really, really enjoy it. and i'm holding a rapier hilt that came out of what we're interpreting as our corps d' guard. i want to explain one of the processes that are vital to conservation and that's the use of the digital x-ray equipment in order to take a picture through this artifact to help guide us. we knew what it was when it came out of the ground, but it was corroded with all of this iron oxide. what we're

it, all the way up, like you can lay-in a rope. >> made out of iron? >> yes. a couple iron fasteners this way and a couple going in straight up and down. >> this is in a different storage solution. have you a combination of wood and metal, and some incrustacean on the metal, this is essentially caused by the chemical reaction of the metal and the water and adhered to the surface of the wood as well. this has to be treated individually so you are preserving the wood and metal. and this would be attached to the side of the vessel and attached a rigging element, lines and such, to the strap. this is -- this is a piece of wood, structure of the ship. it -- we're not exactly sure where it came from. what part of the ship it is. we know exactly where it was found, but not what part of the ship it was. disarticulated. you have an iron fastener going through the wood and this is a typical type of fastener wie reported on the vessel. this is a pretty well preserved piece of wood. it will be con served again individually. this is an example of another intrusive object.

the iron is dry brushed. this if you submerge this in water, it's going to destabilize the iron and corrode more rapidly. the items that are more diagnostic, we can serve this. this appears to be maybe a slade like for cutting grass. and this is the blade portion and it's just corroded away in this area. but if we didn't conserve these items, what would happen to them as being out of the ground, the rust would accelerate and it would fall apart. so we put them in these conservation tanks where we run electric current through a solution of baking soda and it sloughs all the iron rust off of it until you get down to the bare metal. the next step is to clean off the remaining rust, then they're washed in a solution of distilled water, boiled and distilled water, baked in the oven to dry it and dipped in acetone and coated with a coating to keep the oxygen off the object. some of these iron objects potentially, if they're here on an 18th century site, were made here on the property. so we could have objects such

navy and private salvage, took come of the cannon off and some of the iron ball last. ballast. we also know that the things that were spoiled, personal possessions, food stores and stuff was left. barney himself pursued getting his sailors reimbursed for the loss of personal possessions. really what we expect to see from this is some of the foods, food stores that the sailors ate, the provisions, also we know that we found some surgeons' equipment, medical supplies, surgical scalpels, scissors and such. we expect there to be the personal effects of the crew which will help tell something about ethnicity, about who they were, what their economic status was. one such artifact is a grog cup with the initials c.w. on it, believe the to belong to an african-american sailor named caesar wentworth. there were a number of african-american sailors serving in the flotilla. we also expect to see some of the weapons, if not the cannons that were recovered, and probably the shot, you know, for the guns and from that we'll be able to determine what sized guns they would have had on board. th

shirts that they you know they aren't exactly campaign slogans they have these sort of ironic funny. you know slogans on them they see things like to the git to mitt you know it's this drove back retro cool funny old ironic way of of advertising for mitt romney so they get a bunch of young kids to buy these thinking that they're just funny and ironic and serious and they just end up being tools for mitt romney basically and they don't realize the political agenda behind the guy who owns that story as are the people who bought who are buying and actually think that this is kind of ironic and funny i think another one i think i can say this that mitt is that it says on the teacher it's pretty funny. but it is a i think that a lot of people who are buying these perhaps as a joke would be surprised but it's it's not just this it's also some of the really i guess questionable you could say practices i mean at urban outfitters has you know uses sweatshop labor they've been known in the past to be stealing designers work not just at urban outfitters but the sister store anthropologie that i

part of an iron padlock. this is the body of the padlock. this is the bale. this is the hinge right there and it would swing back and forth and the key would enter right there. and then we found four navy buttons. these two are officers' buttons. but these date to the late 1820s, early 1830s. we're not sure why they're in the slave quarter, but it's a mystery that needs to be solved. this is part of a pharmaceutical vial right here. and most interestingly, we recovered -- just this past week we recovered what is a real or a spanish coin that dates to 1801. and what's interesting about this coin is it's clipped. there are little pieces taken out here. that's actually an illegal practice then by some merchants and consumers to take a little bit of silver out of the coin, and you collect enough of those, and i guess you could make something out of it or sell it, but mint didn't like that when their coins were being clipped. what's more important about this coin is it's some direct evidence that slaves are engaged in marketing activities. they were, you know, sel

all three dads gave the iron gym a dad approved. after that exercise, dad's hungry.etter food for a postworkout meal than some juicy bacon, enter our next product -- >> bacon cooked to perfection in your microwave. >> reporter: the bacon wave. >> i love bacon. >> reporter: our testers loaded their bacon strips into the bacon wave and stuck it in the microwave. >> it collected the grease. the all important taste test -- >> it tastes like bacon. >> it tastes pretty good. >> i like it. >> definitely dad approved. >> reporter: rusty and robert agree. the bacon wave gets a second unanimous approved. so far, so good. can we go 3 for 3? our final product is -- a ferrari. starting to feel like oprah's show. sorry, dad, not on our budget. it's just the sound racer. a gizmo that makes you think you're driving an italian sports car. >> put it in the cigarette lighter. >> once they connected the sound racer, it was time to take it out for a drive. >> i got to admit that's pretty cool. sfwlr tony feels the needs for speed. >> now, i feel like i'm in a video game, which is probabl

iron dry brushed, if you sub merge this in water it will destabilize the iron and corrode at a more rapid rate. the items more diagnostic, we actually conserve. this appears to be part of a maybe blade for cutting glass, and this is the blade portion and corroded away in this area. if we didn't conserve these items what would happen to being in the ground they -- the rust would accelerate and they would fall apart. we put them in conservation tanks, run electric current through a solution of baking soda and sloughs all the rust off it. until you get to the bare metal. next is to use a dremel tool to clean up the remaining rust and washed in a solution of distilled water, boiled and distilled water, baked in the oven to dry it and dipped in acetone, then coated with a conservation coating to keep the oxygen off the object. some of the iron objects potentially here on an 18th century site were made here on the property. we could have objects such as a hinge made by a slave named moses. these were objects that tell much a larger story about what they were but about the plantation society tha

having dads come out and test products now. >> i use that iron gym all the time. >> do you?he results show, folks. >>> plus, kate middleton, this morning, showing a side of herself that's redefining royalty. her charitable work on display, as well as her sharp sense of style and fashion, of course. everyone wants to know what she's wearing. >>> and we're learning more about that nightclub brawl between two of music's biggest stars, chris brown and drake. this morning, people who were caught in the crossfire are coming forward. >>> but we're going to start here this morning, what is shaping up to be a very bad day in the fight against the most destructive wildfire in the history of colorado. high winds are on the way today. a real setback in what one local official has called, quote, a war with mother nature. we're learning that this is a war that could last all summer long. abc meteorologist ginger zee is all over this story. good morning to you. >> this map shows all of the major flames. i was out there all week. firefighters kept emphasizing we can only do so much ourselve

so here we've got some of the ingredients that have made the cast iron here so famous and it's all local products basically you've got over here the slightly lighter substance is clay and the black is just local sand but it contains properties that when mixed with the oil and all make a very strong form of cast iron and that's why the artwork here is of such high quality and now a lady here is making one of the molds that the iron is going to be poured into so she's covering the icon with layers of clay and sand once the actual icon has been removed you have this perfect imprint left in the mold and then things really start to heat up so from this boiling hot stove here wow. you get the liquid on your sound and play going into this bucket here that's not a stead i reckon. so the liquid. is being poured into these molds here where it will sit between four hours until it's called enough to be taken out so the next part of the process can begin. but wow pretty toxic in here i'm going to move out the way. and once the metal reaches the right temperature the factory artists can go to work . s

. >> the iron man is the holy grail.body want to win that iron man. >> it's october 1997 in kona, hawaii. shawn well much and wednesday -- wendi ingram are professional triathletes and among the year's strongest contenders. >> i put a huge effort into the event for '97. i think on paper i can win this. >> for the first time i really believed i could win the hawaii ironman. >> i just saw a glow in her eyes. she was in probably the best head space that i had seen her in years. >> the day begins in the water where wendy promptly sets a new women's swim record. she expects to lose her lead during the bike ride, but it doesn't happen. >> and i was just like, what's wrong? am i here, is this the right day? are they still racing? did they crash. all these thoughts were going through my mind because no one had caught me yet. i was on cloud nine and i was just like, i think i might actually do it this time. i might actually win the iron man. >> the race is shaping up differently for sian. >> the day of the race, i knew that somet

ironically, it was this abbey where his mother, princess diana, was laid to rest in 1997. and in the years between that memorial and this celebration, the legacy of diana and the tragedy of her life were critical in prince william's journey to the altar. >> i think she's probably never far from his mind. i think he thinks about her every day. >> jules knight says he's been friends with prince william for more than a decade. did he give any inklings about the relationship that he had with his mother? >> i think it was evident to everybody that they were incredibly close. he's mentioned on a number of occasions that she was never far from his mind. when you're going through these sorts of rites of passage where you're growing up and you don't have that incredibly important figure in your life, it must be incredibly difficult because you think oh, i wish my mum was here for that. >> rites of passage that were not easy given the difficulty of growing up in a broken home. >> he went through the pain of the divorce. he then went through the agony of his mother's death, and it mu

and the police had to come and cut the wrote iron and get her out of it. and a year later natalie wood who was about, well i guess she was a couple years older had the same thing happen to her in the jackpot which was a movie my parents-- you know-- . >> rose: everything is copy. >> everything is copiment nothing goes to waste. it is an early lesson in biode gradable things. and so we were very used to this. and the play was very harmless. i mean it wasn't-- i didn't think it was me. i just thought it was based on something that had happened. >> rose: you graduate wellesley college and want to live in new york. you come to manhattanment you get a job as a researcher for "newsweek" magazine. >> mail girl. >> rose: mail girl. >> mail girl, yeah. >> rose: what does a pail girl do. >> just what it sounds like. delivers the mail. >> rose: you take the mail around to the people. >> there were no mail boys actually but there were mail girls. >> rose: because mailroom is where barry dylan and others started at the agencies. >> at the agencies where there were no m

ironically, it was blain who prevented grant from coming back -- or rather 1880. it was blain who prevented grant from making a comeback and winning a third term. >> besides being secretary of state for james garfield and arthur -- >> and harrison. he was secretary of state under three presidents. >> what else did he do? >> he was in congress, he was speaker of the house, he was a very effective iron-willed speaker. >> he changed some of the rules in the house. i'm not sure which rules they are. it seems to me speakers of the house are always changing rules somewhat to their advantage, but a smart, capable guy but corrupt. >> and this was the period after the civil war when congress was much more central, much more potent than it had been. so to be speaker of the house, to be a power in congress in the 1870s, meant a lot more than perhaps it would today. >> do you have anything to say about mr. blain? >> what do you think would have happened if he would have won? >> i think it would turn out to be -- i think he would be regarded as the best president between t.r.

testing out the iron gym to bacon maker. >>> plus, kalt middleton, this morning, showing a side of herself that's redefining royalty. of course, everyone wants the know what she's wearing. >>> we're learning more about that nightclub brawl between two of music's biggest stars, chris brown and drake. this morning, people are coming forward. but we're going to start here this morning, what is shaping to be the very bad day in the wildfire in colorado. a real setback in what one local official has called a war with mother nature. we're learning that this is a war that could last all summer long. ginger zee. >> i was out there in the all week. the men and women in colorado kept emphasizing they can only do so much themselves to fight. they need the weather to cooperate. lot of fires to fight. the massive fire warning, today, is not that day. eight days of high fire drama. 55,000 acres inhaled. 181 homes gone, all because of this. that's right. they have identified the culprit in the hyde park fire. >> they have found in the south edge of the area the actually tree where the lightning struck ei

will thomas teaches history here, he's also the author of "the iron way: railroads, the civil war, and the making of modern america." harold is joining us, youngstown, ohio. good evening. >> caller: good evening. it seems rather ironic that many of the parallels from william jennings bryan's day and our day, it's just amazing. again, we're arguing soft money versus hard money. and we do see class warfare. the class warfare argument. except this time, the argument is coming from the rich against the poor as opposed to the poor against the rich. and i think the irony in my mind is just amazing. >> who would like to take that point? >> well, i think it is interesting to look back at that time, because for bryan, making the argument not only about the money supply and the silver issue, but also about the income tax and about the monopoly power that he saw all around and the corruption in politics and the trust, all of those things together, he was accused by the republicans of practicing a form of demagoguery or of class warfare, of opening the door to class warfare, even mentioning these

and ironically, this area has been involved with my family for a long time because my mother actually taught at stevens elementary school, which was at 21st and l, and my brother and sister attended stevens in the elementary years. i wound up at 24th and k at emaculate conception high school. and i would get to walk past my great great grandparent's house, you know, a couple times a week. so i continued to be in this area and foggy bottom was, you know, home for me. also during the '80s, i worked down the street here at the va hospital and ate lunch many days in lafayette square not knowing that paul jennings had actually worked across the street, you know. had actually walked the same area that i was sitting out there eating in. and then even more ironic, i don't work down here anymore, when borders was getting ready to close on l street, you know, i was in borders. i said, i didn't realize it was so old down here in the basement. well, according to beth's research, this was paul jenning's home. this had been part of his home, part of his foundation. so it's amazing how, you know, i'

here are the two grand prize winners, and if you remember, they get a trip to hawaii to watch the iron man triathlon. both of the winners have fascinating stories. jonathan is us atistic. he decided to start running and he ran the boston marathon. the other winner was mark, and his story is that he lost over 100 pounds in the last year and have been running triathlons. so right this minute we have the winners, jonathan, and his brothers, and we also have mark from lexington, kentucky. over 100 pounds in the last year. >> yes, i started in april of last year. i wanted to be a runner, so i started with that program, and continued to promise to do a 5 k, a 10 k, and just ran my first full marathon, and now i'm training for half of my iron man. jonathan is by me, he is on the severe end of the autistic scale. he started running, and he has finished eight marathons. >> once we showed him it, he literally looked at it and said "it's me." very happy. >> this guy pulls a frank on starbucks. see it on the next "right this minute." >>> there's mud, and more mud, and more mud. >> as beth would sa

iron curtain is a phrase not unique to him but he popularizes it. special relationship. another churchillian phrase this which has become a general term. and the other one is summit. the term summit is another one churchill uses because, of course, although we think of him as the iron curtain man he also says what we want to to parlay at the summit. he believes in diplomacy. he says war-war. >> rose: was the depression clinical depression or less than that? >> i think it was less than that. there was clearly a bipolar element to it using that term in an innocent descriptive way. rather than a clinical way. he called it the blog dog. >> rose: he called it the black dog? the black dog has descended. >> the way to throw the black dog off his shoulder was furious activity >> a lot of painting. >> it could be painting, it could be writing politics. but action. >> purposeful action. that is man who whatever he did he did it purposely.aúñ whether laying bricks or painting. >> rose: what do you mean by purposeful? something he was doing and building? >> his grandson, winston, jr
