maybe i've just become so jaded on this whole issue. we're looking at this on a couple weeks. >> so a pathetic showdown with thor and the president going to microphones to lecture each other. they shared one thing in common. i know i'm being jaded but it was the theme of hostage negotiations. president obama was supposed to be in asia but he was here today so he had time and he health a very lengthy press conference, more than an hour. here's what he said. >> members of congress and house republicans in particular don't get to demand ransom in exchange for doing their jobs. we won't pay a ransom for america paying its bills. you do not hold people hostage or engage in ransom taking to get 100% of your way. we cannot make extortion routine as part of democracy. what is not fair and will not result in an actual deal is ransom taking. you don't pay a ransom. you don't provide concessions for congress doing its job and america paying its bills. >> the word ransom, pretty incredible there. i want to make sure that we show this went both ways

his corpse had been adorned with jade jewelry and a mosaic mask of jade, shell, and obsidian. whose tomb was this? when was he buried? the answer lay in the undeciphered inscriptions. the enigmatic hieroglyphs, the written language of the maya, had eluded and intrigued scholars since the 16th century. missionaries like diego de landa triek withaya toeret the hrogl was tir ttry late tm th the spani ahabet. (vid stuart) it was a fundamental sunderstanding of what maring icause the maya never used an alphabet. landa only knew alphabets-- that's all that he could really imagine writing could be. and so he wrote down an a, b, c but he was writing down signs that made no sense as an alphabet. the glyphs were associated with maya rigion directly. he saw thelyphs as a reflection of that idolatry that had to be destroyed. and so he's very famous, for gathering together these... these manuscripts and having a bonfire-- destroying them all. (narrator) only three or four codices survived-- manuscripts made from the bark of fig trees. cracking the maya code has been a long and painstaking

for instance, five strings of jade beads, because there are five depicted. however, they also use their own numbering system. in the case of these copper axes, they use the symbol, a flag, which stands for 20. and in this case with 5 flags they are demanding 100 copper axes. warrior uniforms and shields in the amounts of 1 each and then amounts of 20 each are demanded. this symbol, a feather, represents 400. now, if they want to modify that, for instance, we have here a colored mantle, and 400 are being demanded. but these are fingers representing one each. so they're not demanding 400 here, but in fact, 402 cotton mantles. 40 jaguar skins, 1,600 bales of raw cotton, 80 bird skins, 1 bin of corn and 1 bin of the grain chia. 8,000 containers of chocolate. the amount a province or a town was assessed in tribute depended in large part on the difficulty the aztecs had in conquering you in the first place. if you acquiesced to aztec demands immediately, your tribute assessment was typically fairly modest. if, however, the aztecs had to raise an army to go to war

foreign correspondents work to empower us with information -- with information, is because we are jaded or cynical or nativist or quite frankly just busy trying to navigate our own lives in a country where are own democracies being threatened by poverty and other issues, that we don't pay attention, that we don't connect to what is happening in places like kenya or somalia or whatever. say a word to me about how journalists navigate oohing the kind of work, their calling, their profession, their vocation, knowing that there are a bunch of folks back home and some don't get it and most won't. >> it is pretty tough. in the congress part of that come if we can educate children -- right now, in america, the world doesn't exist. if we bring news into classrooms -- and i think it was every four cnn had a wonderful newsroom and maybe there still some attempt -- but the only way you can engage people and they are older is if they have caught the bug when they are younger. the canadians do that with better than probably we do. it is engagement in the sense that you have the potential to do somet

strategic border areas that are also, as i said, endowed with, you know, above and underground resources, jade, gold, teak forest, but perhaps equally important the burmese central government has internally colonial vision which makes them think they are more equal than -- more equal among all of the ethnic groups of burma. when burma was negotiating independence with britain back in 1947, the foundational principal of modern burma was to be ethnic equality. and that was what was promised to the minorities, and since independence successive burmese civilian and military governments have broken the promise of ethnic equality. that really is the crux of the matter. >> do you think the fact is -- as you know myanmar and its government has opened up to the international community quite a bit in the last couple of years. do you think that will make any sort of difference to this conflict? >> well, i think there is an international dimension to the current ceasefire processes. we have got close to 20 different armed ethnic groups, not just one or two. and the problem is there's a fundamental mistrus

a lot of people became jaded and said when we look back at this time why did we ever support these companies not figured out how to be profitable yet? why would you want to invest? it seems like the time is different. why do you think it is not? >> companies are defined by user groups and user engagement. we look at twitter and the metrics and they're off the chart. for them, they can go public any time the only growth will happen in the future which is what the market wants to see. melissa: what is wrong with that thinking? >> taking the company public now makes a lot of money for the people selling shares. i just think that we have had such experience, especially with facebook. there were not making money. the amount of money that this company is making when they use even got it just does not make sense. we will see the stock continued to go down until they can prove themselves because institutional managers, i don't buy companies that don't have a proven track record of earnings. melissa: they don't even make a profit by those standards. earnings before interest and tax, depreciation and
