every had an inhabitant of the cities just very proud that comes to his cd i must say that i hope you lation no three of them. it was the end of another relay and i was in one of the most beautiful places in the country on the shores of the pacific itself but i was beginning to lose patience. i've come to the end of. what's. what do you want. where am i to go. my literally from the house of land. but the torch would move all over the mountains across the sea. even else of this world. live show. yes another historic moment it paid a visit to the international space station more than four hundred kilometers above the planet's. safety reasons made its on board a heavily fuel rocket a bad idea the world's first olympic spacewalk was no problem. i was getting some inspiration. yes. i've come so far with the torch i was going to have to see it through to the end but what so many different people in relays all over russia and even beyond now i was going to have my own moments with the symbol of the sochi games i was in to follow in the south of the country in under two hours i was going to be a tor

hardship on the departed lation more pressure on the population there was no. who's from christmas say. so the old saying about recovery it's not real good stuff it's there and. they've been able to do that developments this year are going to make even horrible now i thank you for bringing up the subject of unemployment because the unemployment rate seems to be deceiving the fed in fact the fed's growth forecast for this year is so upbeat it is reason that now is the time to cut its asset purchase program even or out of a lot of the last f o m c statement quote was notice now in light of the comments of progress towards maximum employment and improvement and the outlook for the labor market conditions the committee decided to make a further measured reduction in the pace of us asset purchases do you think the fed is overestimating the strength of the economy again. well of course but that's not in my opinion the reason that's just their cover and it is not the real reason. they're they're cutting it in fact it remains to be seen whether they will continue with

the united states it's all left up to states and individual states have different sorts of pragya lation different sorts of rules and essentially at least it's been my impression that it's all a matter of lottery once they keep crosses the u.s. border and he's essentially you know in the at the mercy of the circumstances and if he ends up with a good family that can properly take care of his needs that is not just well intended by these qualified to deal with you know the challenges of adoption it's a struggle flood but if that adoption fails there is absolutely no way back and there's absolutely no system out there that would support this kid or support the family that adopted him this is one of the. issues that many adoptive families in the united states voice that at this point of time there is absolutely no support system for them and when they encounter those demands psychological cognitive adjustment difficulties they have absolutely nobody to turn to well none of what you just very very very long question is true so i'm not going to try to answer at all because i'm getting repetit

should consider imposing those sanctions on themselves because they are now to blame for the ask the lation of the crisis and for more casualties in the straits of ukraine how would rise of this kind have been dealt with may be have happened elsewhere in europe. well we have already seen germany france and other countries are very strict on on those protesters and had it been happening somewhere in the united states of america for example or in the center of europe i think the protesters would be crushed very quickly because this is the. direct threat to the litter ship of those states and all those european countries we have seen the government did to protesters in athens and greece we have seen what the u.s. government and u.s. police did to occupy wall street protesters when they were dispersed with gas with rounds and in all that the police say in the u.s. for example they are authorized to use live rounds. against protesters which they already had a chance to to use in the past. alexandersson amount of. live from moscow alexander many thanks indeed for your time weapons shaded. washing

triggering asset price bubbles are unsustainable asset price movements so what you see are a lack of deep lation in general product prices but booming stock markets booming real estate stock market real estate markets and those asset price booms are themselves as often as not unsustainable and on healthy now thinking of the fed and central banks what's the consumer price to flesh and versus debt deflation and the fed's ability to kind of steer the economy you know at once the price level falls below zero the fed has less ability to use interest rates as a lever in which to steer so in a heavily indebted society like the us ones that end up making that more onerous. well there are two issues that need to be addressed here and with respect to both of them there's a big difference between the good deflation driven by productivity and the bad driven by demand so let's stick good deflation when you have good deflation you've got high productivity growth real interest rates tend to be pretty high in that case so what happens is if you let prices fall yes that decline in prices tends to lower money rat

assets in basel three you know the leverage ratio is three percent in the tough tough tough for you lation that the u.s. is talking about is still five six percent these are just under real numbers nobody kind of lives like that and nobody needs to live like that but they just like it that way right now i have to quickly as you say my part of the world where is that . in silicon valley and that area you know those and i think a lot of risk i don't mean exactly our set i mean. well actually in israel as well which is where originally i'm from so in israel too there's a lot of innovation and you know venture capital and this is mostly equity funding and you know when an internet bubble burst with much larger then the any correction in housing markets and then taken down the whole world obviously a lot of people lost a lot of money but it was mostly equity money now i want to turn back to banks in your view how is the banks ability to perform its social function undermined by its leverage and risk. everything about their leverage is counterproductive the levels of leverage we're talking about

and stepping out figures all the way to 2020 he should ask the chancellor back in the just tick lation game if he's going to have zero-based budget review, doesn't he have to admit to his colleagues he cannot guarantee to match any of the spending that we have announced? > silence! >> mr. john barron! >> the prime minister is aware of cross party group of some 80 m.p.'s campaigning for ecognition of our nuclear test sectors. given the u.k. compares poorly to how other countries treat their veterans and very high incidence of ill health suffered by desendants, would the prime minister meet with us given we hit a brick wall with the n.o.d. and given this government's good track record at recognizing past wrongs? >> i know my honorable friend has consistently campaigned on this issue and i have discussed it with him before. i wrote to him a month ago setting out the government's view about this. this in previous governments frequently stated the position there was no published peer review evidence of access, illness for mortality but it is right to go on looking at this issu i

so wherever and whenever i can nd opportunity for more lation american families that is what i'm going to do. >> wow, so you get the point. president obama made good on that pledge when he recently re-wrote the obamacare law designed to affect the key mandate. critics argue he did it to help the democrats avoid paying a bigger political price in the 2014 mid-terms. but motive doesn't really matter. a deadline was clearly written in the law. it was written, the employer mandate shall kick in. and the president ordered the country to ignore it on his own without congressional approval or any legislative review. now, this is not the first time. in fact our research team says this is the 28th major change to obamacare that was simply ordered by the white house. and it is not just health care. the president recently declared a hike in the minimum wage for some federal workers. he unilaterally re-wrote the immigration law, very contentious issue, repeated through in recent years. and the white house is facing increasing challenge for appointments to the national labor relations board. he cla

recent paper by the competitive enterprise institute estimates that the cost of federal regulars lations to the economy exceeds $1.8. it is predicted that $143 billion in new regulations may be finalized this year. these figures are very troubling. that is why the bill we are considering is so important. h.r. 2804 reforms the regulatory process and promote the economic growth we need to get our economy booming again and add jobs. the amendment that i offer today, with my friend, mr. barrr is simple and one that i hope both sides of the aisle will support. if it decreases employment or wages by 1%, it will be subject to heightend review and additional transparency requirement. the amendment requires that agency heads to certify that they knowingly approved a rule that will result in lost jobs or reduced wages. the principle is simple. if federal bureaucrats are going to implement rules that take wages or jobs from americans, they should take responsibility for their decisions. it is important that washington bureaucrats think through all of these things. bureaucratic elites are regulating

bill nye is up next. lation, or afib.d... ...it's not caused by a heart valve problem. dad, it says your afib puts you at 5 times greater risk of a stroke. that's why i take my warfarin every day. but it looks like maybe we should ask your doctor about pradaxa. in a clinical trial, pradaxa® (dabigatran etexilate mesylate)... ...was proven superior to warfarin at reducing the risk of stroke. and unlike warfarin, with no regular blood tests or dietary restrictions. hey thanks for calling my doctor. sure. pradaxa is not for people with artificial heart valves. don't stop taking pradaxa without talking to your doctor. stopping increases your risk of stroke. ask your doctor if you need to stop pradaxa before surgery or a medical or dental procedure. pradaxa can cause serious, sometimes fatal, bleeding. don't take pradaxa if you have abnormal bleeding or have had a heart valve replaced. seek immediate medical care for unexpected signs of bleeding, like unusual bruising. pradaxa may increase your bleeding risk if you're 75 or ol

i said, iraq lux of refugees in to others in the area has been less in comparison to the mop pew lation or compareson to where they are coming from. which meant it became more manageable. the local authority is dealing with it. that's key issues. the key challenge has been getting better quality nation between n.g.o.'s and locals and central government. so the coordination has been one of the key challenges. the other aspect of it is, as i talked about the key challenge, long term challenge is the mental welfare of the refugees, and that's, unfortunately, an issue for any refugee anywhere, let alone a syrian refugee with no end in sight to the situation in syria. that means you have -- you can only provide so much. that's an issue. and third concern has been on security. ambassador chedid talked about terrorism element. and fortunately for us in iraq, probably beenit's driven it's not a secretarytarian war, it's terrorists against the state and rule of law, against a government, against constitutional institution of iraq. that's been the challenge. the key concern we have with syria has
