and the problem is, kaplan pointed it out. they eat their own cooking. the banks own the sovereign debt of the imperiled country. >> italy has more debt and so they do. and here's where the global contagian comes in the u.s. banks, we think. underwrote the insurance policies on that. if there is a real triggering event and real default. 50 percent here and cut the greece solution is not a triggering event. but if there is a default, they have to make that money good and that's when the u.s. banks have to pay for this. it is so critical to avoid and muddle through and go to panic mode. panic mode is when there is a real default. >> panic mode is bailout, bailout. >> that is muddle. >> i agree with them. and your long-term points we are digging a deeper hole. when it comes out the bailout and band aids don't get to the fundmental issue. we have welfare economies that rob the private sector. how do you pay off this stuff? you have to grow . and one of the reasons the chinese give us money without concession they believe in our economy. our businesses are do

number of kaplan's votes went to jean to give her a margin to beat the front-runner don perata. i can speak to this because then candidate quan approached me then candidate joe tooman and said are you open to making an arrangement with me? i'm going to give rebecca my number two but i'll tell my voters to give me your number 3 to two -- like we're switching off. i said no i don't want to do that. she said because you think you can't win with it? no, base i think it's wrong. she said what do you mean? i said i don't think i own my voters and i can't trade them around like they are some possession and i would like them to decide for themselves what nent to do. >> reporter: fast forward to a mayor facing challenges and possible recall vote. >> some of the vigor with which they attack her comes from the voters who say you're not the person i really wanted. >> joe tooman is once again our paid political analyst. a spokesman from quan's staff that joe tooman's statement about her approaching him about this statement is not true. they said there might have been a general discussion abo

that's going to help siemens and that's what audrey kaplan who runs the fed rated intercontinental fund company, fund said to me. so she is a big fan of that stock and it makes sense. >> also a fan of sto, statoil, the norwegian energy giant. we saw oil hit $100 a week or so ago this stock is below $25. again how much tied to the global economy? >> well, if you ask any bond fund manager out there, all they want is scandinavian bonds. and sadly there is not enough scandinavian bons to go around. so you have to settle for the stocks. and statoil say norwegian stock and oil has been moving up. it's a resource-rich country and this is a resource they do very well. >> tom: real quick give us the idea about rio, rio tinto, rio, a u.k.-based minor but really does operations globally, doesn't it? >> yeah, they're based in the u.k. the it's here bhp or rio if are you going buy a big minor. rio has operations around the world. the they are using up o whole lot of resource, metals, even precious ones like gold. so you if you looking for a miner and a stock in europe, try rio. >> plain commodities

kaplan, at this stage of the morning, but let's just see if we can't find the right balance.thank you very much. i've understood the point. right. >> therefore, our first witnesses who are, um, the dowlers, please. [background sounds] [inaudible conversations] >> i swir bilal mighty god that the evidence i shall give shall the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. >> i swear by almighty god that the evidence i shall give shall be the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. >> please, sit down. if at any stage you need a break, don't hesitate to say so. before we start can i thank you both for being prepared to come to the inquiry. you've done so voluntarily, and i'm very conscious that it's a strain. i can only sympathize to both of you for the appalling losses that you, that you've suffered and the traumas that you've undergone over many years. so i'm very appreciative to both of you for being prepared to expose yourself to assist me in the worm that i've got -- in the work that i've got to do, so thank you very much. >> thank you. >> and you are, respe

kaplan's homeroom. george washington's middle class in new jersey.geist who worked for cbs for so many years. i mean, he's literally a living legend. i was so excited meeting him. what was it like growing up with someone who was in television. did that influence you to do what you're doing now? >> absolutely. he was a newspaper writer when he started. until i was in seventh grade, he was a writer. then in 1987 don hewitt who red my dad's columns in the new york times called him up out of the clear blue sky and said ever thought about doing in television what you do in print. no, i'm just a writer with glasses and curly red hair. probably not good for tv. he said come on, don hewitt said we'll shoot a pilot. my dad did it. they had fun doing it and convinced him with the help of charles can you remember at to come to sunday morning. he's a writer at his core and he taught me that writing is paramount. if you can write, you can do anything. he doesn't come with the trappings of television. he flies to some little town across the country, goes to a stat

i believe kaplan is off 47% year-to-year decline in enrollment with the parent company of phoenix not far behind. students are abandoning these institutions in droves and that has been without a huge amount of organizing going on. >> i'm a professor with the graduate school here and i have been in higher education for 32 years. i was a student five times in higher education and i am debt free. i think the biggest office sought in this country and i have education in three different countries is the word non-profit organization. when a president of a college that has only 240 students making 1.7 $5 million a year, that's up about $841 an hour. what do you expect that tuition will be? when the associate dean for that same university is making $300,000 a year, how can we call that a non-profit organization? the problem is these students' activities are always focused on social, activism, groups, but nobody ever questions because the idea of non-profit organization in this country is in, verses disbursement and the problem is we never question whether this disbursement is legitimate or no

kaplan said he would like to put in a supplementary statement. i would like to hear the explanation for the article. what their source was. >> i might come back to that. the next article you refer to is in paragraph 12, your statement which was run in the "sunday express." the point about this article, and we have this on on the bottom right hand side. this was entirely not true? >> it was an article that purported to be written by me, which i have not written, and i have not even spoken to a journalist. it was completely made up or patched and pasted from previous quotations i may have given in an interview. that is why they lost their case and head to apologize. >> the statement in open court makes the point that you did not contribute to the article in any way. there are two examples of defamation claims. you also are providing privacy claims. the first one comes over litigation on paragraph 13, a visit to chain cross hospital, and tito's which are not necessary to go into, but it -- details which are not necessary to go into, but it did evolv
