joining us now is daniel senior research professor of conflict management at johns hopkins schools of advance international studies. also a scholar at the middle east institute. from new york city michael weiss fellow from the institute of modern russia and columnist. he has covered the story from inside syria including the siege of aleppo in 2012. and heather, her work focuses on the civilian and conflict resolution. and let me start with you. in conflict resolution, we have a leader who is willing to do anything to stay in power, and at the same time knows his opponents are not willing to do anything to make him leave. >> we have two basic problems. that's one. the other one is the neighbors' neighbors who want different things and each want different things more than to have the violence to stop. if you had agreement amongst syria's neighbors you might have more on the first one you mentioned. but it's very hard to see how the violence stops. >> during the peace talks that just ended, daniel, sir, were we fated to end with this failure, this break up that we saw over the weekend on

so 1 degree john hopkins professor id how they grew into education a and it is beautiful. [laughter] what do you do about that? if anyone from u.s. news is watching what it does is college rankings should give points for administration intake points the way for bloated of restrictions that would do the most good the college has to do this anyway. they have to bring costs under control even the very elite have to bring costs under control if they expect somebody to pay for it. if they don't of course, that is what colleges were 150 years ago. what we really see i am not the only one to think that he is the google driverless car guy. i take the turkey for a drive. [laughter] also the online education program is and also that we will see a small number of big period education just does resaw shrinkage but the more i think about it i am not so sure that is the case. because of the economies of scale that was cheaper than i ever richer it is cheaper to educate the big universities than small ones also of the marketplaces of the good for a few brands but a lot of colleges that h

in the chaos and a new database is being created to keep more than fingerprints and doctors at johns hopkins university are creating a digital library of brain m.r.i. scans so what could be the goal behind this find out later in the show.

in the middle of this is a section of baltimore there was two or three blocks farther away from johns hopkins and wanted to be. but we had these kids in the neighborhood who would come by and they wanted to get their poetry published. they were english majors and they were nice kids. unfortunately it wasn't very good but what high school student is. so they stopped by and the balto cong was there. there were the nicest kids but they were dressed in this closing fashion of the time. one look and they ran out the door. they were gone. we did publish their poetry i'm glad to say. so this keeps going. we decide we're going to stand guard over the office. >> because it is so valuable. >> and the whole week we manage to stand guard, but stand guard with what? i happened to have a pistol because of on goal might with the dynamite. i thought i was pretty cool. if the state's effort needed to be. so i said i've got a gun and a staff photographer it turned out he had one. [laughter] he said i have my old service reef -- revolver. we would get a six pack and if this goes on about a week and we are not r

anyway, so the first, he was first interrogated when he was captured so he flew from johns hopkins to patch them up. but the interrogation at that point i didn't precisely notice at the time for the fbi interrogation. they were convinced that he was holding back. he knew what they wanted to hear about the next attack but he wasn't going to tell us. so it wasn't the fbi convinced of stonewalling and that new departure. >> host: tell me exactly what it is you want to do. you have to make the decision if inattention grasp and at the confinement is a big box that you can stand in or a small box for a few can't stand in stress positions meant to stream your muscles and sleep deprivation and probably the most controversial waterboarding and what i found interesting here is how you felt after you explained -- they explained this to you and left you largely speechless and some of the techniques described like something out of the three stooges and things you never thought about before and potentially transgress the anti-torture statute and then there is a scene in which you go outside of the

and it was in a section of baltimore that were three or four blocks away from johns hopkins and there were these kids in the neighborhood that would come by. nice kids. these two high school guys. both of them big guys. and what they wanted was to get their poetry published. and they were english majors and really into it and really nice as well. and so they just stopped by the office to say hi and found them there. and they were to actual members of these people. the two nicest kids. but they were sort of dress at like this at the time. so she looked at them and ran out the door. [laughter] and philip said, what is going on here to . [laughter] and thereafter we did publish their book, i am glad to say. [laughter] >> so it just keeps going. and off goes my girlfriend. so we decided decide that we are going to stand guard at the office. >> because it's so valuable? >> well, yeah. and for whole wheat we managed remember this vanguard.

the hill at johns hopkins could be sold to a construction company. the site is just off route 3. would be the spot of a new 90,000 foot assisted living center. now the land is privately owned but the owners have allowed kids to play on it for decades. if the sale goes through, the hill could be leveled as early as this fall. >>> and with all the snow, you might be thinking of shoveling out today, and if so, you're going to want to be careful. most people don't realize the stress shoveling heavy snow, like the kind we got can be tough on your heart. the continuous activity combined with the unconventional movements can tax the body sending your heart into a critical state. doctors warn the stress can come quickly and without warning. >> it's a sudden surge, sudden stress. it's a little bit different than most of the aerobic activities where you build to it. >> and nova medical group confirmed an increase in heart conditions and treatments during the winter months mostly connected to people who push themselves too far while trying to shovel out. >>> in the day ahead, hundreds of pe

they flew doctors from johns hopkins to patch them up and he got patched up but he wasn't talking. the interrogation at that point i didn't precisely know this at the time but it was cia and fbi interrogators. i learned much later that the fbi interrogators thought they were making progress with zubaydah and archives were convinced he was holding back for basically being brazen about it. he knew what we wanted to hear about the next attack buddy wasn't going to tell us so that was how our people and not the fbi really that did the stonewalling and some new departure was needed in the interrogation. >> host: that is when they come to you and they say this is what we have then you say tell me exactly what it is you want to do and don't spare me any details because you are going to have to make a decision at that point whether it's legal. so they describe quickly a tension grasp, walling, facial hold, insults lap, cramped confinement which is a big box that you can stand in or a small box box for fewer hours that you can't stand in, stress positions, walls standing meant to strain you

he flew doctors from john hopkins over there to patch in a period that he wasn't talking. the agency at that point, i didn't precisely notice at the time, but the fbi interrogators. i learned much later that the fbi interrogators, at least a couple of them thought they were making progress. our guys were convinced he was holding back. he knew what we wanted for the next attack. so that was how -- it was our people, not the fbi really that were committed to stonewalling and 70 departure was needed in the interrogation regime. >> host: so that's why they can't even say this is what we have used a tone exactly what it is you want to do and don't spare me any details because you can have to make the decision at that point whether it's legal. so they described the tension craft, wally facial hold, cramped confinement, which is a big rocks the you can stand in our small box for fewer hours that you can't stand them stress positions, meant to strain your muscles, sleep deprivation and probably the most controversial, waterboarding. what i found interesting here is your descriptio

trish pearl very epidemiologist at john hopkins university of school of medicine in baltimore, maryland. thank you so much for joining us, what do you make of what is happening with this year's flu season? >> well, i think the important thing for folks to understand is that this is actually the same strain of influenza that was circulating in 2009, and this year we appear be having a particularly virulent year, if you will or certainly prevalent as you pointed out in your statistics. and whether this is related to vaccination rates currently, whether folks were never vaccinated or they were vaccinated in 2009 and now their antibodies levels have waned. we aren't really surety point. but as you also point out, we as clinicians are particularly concerned because of the severity of illness that we are seeing in populations where we don't really usually see this kind of illness. >> so comparisons are being drawn to two none nine, i covered that flu epidemic in 2009, and spoke to families that had lost loved ones and to them it was so unbelievable that people could die from the flu. now year

( laughs ) >> safer: for the next seven months, after school and on weekends, jack's mother would drop him off at the lab where he learned basic lab techniques and worked on developing his cancer test. >> jack andraka: finally, one day in march, i realized this was actually working. like, it was working amazingly. because it was passing all of these preliminary tests. and i run out and, pretty much, like, screaming around the lab. i finally go out and rush into my mom's car. and, like, me and her are screaming in the car. and then, of cour
