we heard from jillian earlier in an extraordinarily good question, which led to i thought some reflective and interesting answers. her academic interest include political culture, protest and policing in jordan, neoliberalism, identity publics. this is my favorite, contentious politics. where is there politics that is not -- and state repression. professor has received awards in fellowships from the social science research council, the fulbright foundation, overseas research centers and the american institute for yemeni studies. she's conducted wide ranging field research in egypt, jordan and yemen and has traveled extensively throughout the region. finally last but at at all least, sam a research fellow at the hudson institute. he was a senior partner at the egyptian union of liberal youth. an organization that aims to spread the idea of classical liberalism in egypt before joining the hudson institute, he worked on the subject of the muslim brotherhood at the american enterprise institute and the heritage foundation on the subject of religious freedom in europe. he's written for many jo

jillian? >> so when i teach courses on middle east politics, i always start the first class by saying, middle east politics is not limited to the palestinian/israeli conflict. i want to say the arab spring is not limited to egypt. we've been predominantly talking about egypt. i keep trying to talk a little bit differently. i want to say something about yemen. yemen had a couple of weeks ago abdullah saleh stepped down. we don't call that state a shiia state. we shouldn't. it's nonsensical. in fact, he's from that sect. you have a very strong wahabi influence. saudi funded. saudi inspired. that's very -- you have all kinds of different religious sects. in the case of yemen, i think it would be a mistake to put the question of religious freedom front and center in the transition, because there's all kinds of other issues of power struggle left over from the unification which saw essentially the crushing of a largely secular south and very progressive voices there. not an atheist communist moveme

we're happy to have jillian attending the meetings. and there will be a force in moving the project forward. >> i am not trying to be difficult. just for me, but i have been getting for my office has been vague around market street. there are the specific outcomes of the work that has happened so far. the average of the environmental analysis, this does not mean a lot to me. if you look at what the architects have done, with all the surveys and the block by block conditions. this is the kind of explanation i would need to understand what the budget is being spent on for one of the outside consultants. i am not comfortable with this moving in terms of my own support but i understand the project's cost increase -- especially in a project that is as complicated as greater market street. i do understand why this is moving forward. >> why don't we open this up to public comment. is there any member of the public who wishes to speak? >> public comment is closed. do we have a roll call on this item? commissioner avalos: aye. commissioner cohe

. >> reporter: jillian kenny shook with sadness and anger as she remembers how she learned her daughter had been murdered. >> i spoke with the police. they said they were going to meet me at my work. and i had the feeling that it was going to be really bad. >> reporter: it wasn't just bad. it was the very thing that joanne and her entire family had feared would happen for 8 years, ever since they met the man they now call a monster. an ex boxer with a long history of abuse and violence. >> it's just unbelievable. this person had threatened her life so many times. he had threatened my family. >> reporter: in one protective order, he told her i don't need a gun. i can just snap your neck. he stalked her, physically abused her, possibly even tracked her whereabouts with a gps device on her van. the same van where he shot and killed her. this mother of six would have been 38 on sunday. now her family is preparing for her funeral. >> for what she had been through, she was the most courageous person that i've ever known. plus she loved her children more than anything in the whole world. she h

jillian. >> yeah. i -- you know, i -- yeah. i echo -- yeah. i pretty much echo your point. it's -- there's -- i think it should be there. but i don't think it needs to be there front and center. i think when there's other kinds of security and confidence that comes from the institutions, when the institutions are functioning in a way that people feel safe, then i think they would emerge, you know, more freedom of expression around particular kinds of issues. where people don't have to feel that one statement is just a complete threat to their whole community. they don't have to feel panicky. i think that will be gradual. i think you can get there in some ways through the exercising and functioning of that space. >> sam? >> let me begin by a story that happened yesterday in egypt. maybe a month ago there was a schoolteacher in the south of egypt who during the school -- during the class break was sitting in the teachers lounge. and he's christian. and a conversation begins between a salafi teacher and himself that results in a religious discussion. and the salafi teacher cla

been warm they don't identify with also the position of culture but still don't feel like they're jillian's in itself rather than this is a big problem and i think we should work towards a more strict immigration and integration policy in all the member states of the european union and we know there are tens of people right now in our qaeda training camps in afghanistan in pakistan etc but still we know some of these people are coming back to their countries in europe and we let them do as if nothing else if there was no problem i think we should monitor these people much more closely than we have been doing in the past. well paging has condemned the latest move of washington to restrict iran's oil trade which could result in american sanctions against other countries and if the u.s. published a list of nations that could be cut off from its financial systems if they continue to trade with china the biggest hole of rating crude tops that list along with india and north korea and six months to reduce oil imports from iran or face u.s. sanctions which pan and ten e.u. countries have been made

we met jillian outside the church in canton. posting signs out front would be inappropriate. >> i know the lady who runs it. they don't try to pressure you. >> after baltimore city passed its ordinance, several other local jurisdictions did swell, including month montgomery county. lawyers were in court, fighting for their verse of the rule. >>> no deadline for the court to make a ruling. >>> today's weather is almost. >> taking in flowers and trees in bloom. >>> temperatures are soaring and the sun is shining. we couldn't have asked for a better friday. let's check in with bob turk. >> today's temperatures are exactly normal -- for june 6th. take a look at those readings. so far, that's a high of the day. cooler by the ocean. ocean city at 67. today's temperatures are running anywhere from about the same temperature out west to 9 degrees warmer now than yesterday at this time. the big change coming tomorrow, a few thundershowers from the west. a damp weekend. we need the rain. look like the weekend will not be the prettiest we'

jillian hills was 16 when she recorded it and it was one of those summer groove songs just as early popsion. now it's known to a whole new generation. ♪ mook ♪ >> and speaking of music or at least brave attempts at it, meet the president's pick to head the world bank. the rapper in the middle is dr. jim young kim. he has an md and ph.d. from harvard and in fairness this video just shows him being a college president. ♪ it's for a campus music production called dartmouth idol, which also in fairness may never be confused with "american idol." but it is a first as far as we know for the head of the world bank. it's been a bad week for the current generation's over-the-top parenting. if you believe the little ones today are the most coddled, celebrated in the history of kids, then it won't surprise you to learn that an annual neighborhood easter egg hunt in colorado springs has been cancelled because it was being overrun by parents who were so anxious to game it out so their kids were sure to find an egg and so fearful that their kids might fail that they swarmed the event in past years an

we heard from jiflian, a good -- jillian.her academic interests include, listen to this now, political culture, protest and policing in jordan, neoliberalism, identity politics, and this is my favorite, contentious politics. where is there politics that is not --. that is me. and state repression. professor schwdler reserved from fulbright foundation, council of american overseas research centers and american institute for yemen any studies. you heard a yes about yes, ma'am men. she has conducted wide-ranging field research in egypt, jordan and yemen and traveled extensively throughout the region. and finally, last but not at all least, sam tadros, a research fellow at the hudson, statute. he was a senior partner at the egyptian union of liberal youth, an organization that aims to spread the idea of chrs call liberalism in egypt. before joining the hudson institute, tadros worked on the subject of the muslim brotherhood at the american enterprise institute and the heritage foundation on the subject of religious freedom in eur

you have jillian epstein, foreign chief minority council to the house committee. american enterprise institute, and hit-or-miss member dave sweichert, republican from arizona. this was a bernanke warning that didn't get near enough attention, and i want to ask you, he is talking about a massive, what, $3 trillion, $4 trillion tax hike scheduled for january 1st, 2013. he is also worried, wrongly, i think, about spending cuts of over $1 trillion. what's this fiscal cliff all about, and how is it going to affect the economy? >> well, you know, i'm not so worried about the spending cuts. like you, i'm worried about these massive tax increases. and given the state of the economy, if we let all these tax increases go through, i have little doubt that will push us back into a recession. perhaps a severe one. goldman sachs did a great study on the 569 of letting all the bush tax cuts expire, and maybe president obama would like it to happen, and it could happen, and they found that it would knock 3% to 4% points off of gdp, even assuming, even assuming, the fed cut intere

. >>> also, jillian tett. and later, from the legendary punk band the ramons, tommy ramone. >> they were in the same fra te ternity at princeton. >>> up next, the political playbook. mitt romney lands a big endorsement from one of the senate's rising stars, marco rubio. also another endorsement from the same person. a new old endorsement. but first, here is bill karins to talk about the forecast. >> full endorsement, once a year. >>> good morning, everyone. we have cool air rushing back into new england. we'll see some snow showers in the higher elevations out there, but it's not going to be too bad of a day. probably some of the worst weather out there, northern kansas right now. thunderstorms rolling from st. joseph to st. louis. late today, could see a few tornadoes late this afternoon and early evening hours. watch out, omaha to kansas city area, down into oklahoma. as far as the forecast goes in the northeast today, not bad. typical march like day. maybe a few sprinkles this morning. this afternoon should
