joining me for the rest of the program to talk about the inner game of cheating len len regard copelson and al jazeera's science and technology correspondent jake ward. good to have you with us. professor, let me first start with you. when did you first start handing in other people's work as your own, and what was the reason why? >> the first of my three or four acts of plagiarism occurred when i was eight years old, and it happened because i found myself in a ridiculous situation during a teacher strike. parents had set up an ad hoc school in the neighborhood, and some guy who obviously didn't care about the classroom itself assigned an impossible he is e ssay. and just to get it done i transcribed an encyclopedia entry and he didn't read it and gave me an a. later when the stakes were much higher, and my motivation much more complicated, i did such a thing once or two more. i felt it need to publicly confess and put it all behind me. >> you went into the academic life it's an unusual choice after gaining entrance into the system as did you. >> that motivated me to publish a book on t

if you look on the left, you see that light comes through the lens, and just like a camera the lens is focusing light on the back of the eye, on the structure called the retina. you see that the back of the night, the retina, is not uniform. there is a dip or a pit that is present in the eye. this is called the macular region of the retina. it is in this region that we have our highest resolution vision. it is also the part of the retina that lets you see in color. the other part of the retina outside the macula is called a peripheral retina. this is the part that lets us see in the dark. this is lowlight vision. if you have ever looked at a starry night, you notice that if you don't point your eye directly at the star, you look a little offkilter and the star gets brighter. that is because you're using the peripheral retina which has very high sensitivity for light that isn't as good for high resolution images. so we have these two aspects of the retina. the last thing i want to talk about is what are the types of neurons that are in the retina. we can look at a blowup of this macular

len ramirez with how that might happen. len. >> reporter: it's going to be a big challenge because mobile home parks throughout silicon valley especially here in palo alto are facing pressure because of the valuable land they're on but with its statement today the santa clara county board of supervisors says that places like this are worth saving. at the buena vista mobile home park about 400 people have been living with the fear of eviction for the last two years. >> this is the only place for me or for my community to live to be able to pay our bills, to be productive members of society. >> reporter: melody chaney has lived in the park for 14 years and is afraid that she could be homeless if forced to move out. she says there is nowhere else she can live in pricy palo alto for the $1,300 in rent she pays now. >> the cheapest apartment in the county i have seen within the last six months for a one bedroom is $1,700 a month. >> you have given us the hope of staying in our home. >> reporter: that's why the santa clara county board of supervisors took an extraordinary step today setting aside $8 million in an affordable housing account to use as seed money to eventually buy out buena vista property. >> let's protect the residents in place. they are and the integral part of the community and less hang on to an increasingly scare source of affordable housing. >> reporter: it's not the usual way public money goes normally goes to build new high density housing projects but simitian said it's time to think differently about what affordable house something. >> hard to imagine frankly that we would be able to accommodate 400 very low income folks any less expensively than keeping the existing park in place. >> reporter: it is the latest twist in a long batting for people to feel safe at home. >> it's getting a step in the right direction now that they have started it maybe we can get other foundations and other cities or other nonprofits to add to the pot. >> reporter: there is one big problem in all of this and that is that this mobile home park is not for sale according to the owner who i contacted by telephone today. the deal was recently in the works with the developer fell through. the county is hoping that a deal can be made by raising money 25 to $30 million for the value of the property. len ramirez, kpix 5. >>> buena vista is the last mobile home park left in palo alto. >>> well, within minutes, burglars in san francisco brazenly smashed into a museum and made off with prized pieces of california's history. kpix 5's juliette goodrich with how these guys got away in the high-end heist. >> reporter: 2:30 in the morning and suspects with dark hoodies ram a stolen suv into the front of the wells fargo history museum shattering the glass doors. a security guard was held at gunpoint while two other suspects stole historical nuggets inside. >> and took approximately four to ten ounces of gold nuggets from the case. >> reporter: the gold nuggets were showcased in a front display. we spotted one of them on a counter after the break-in. >> i'm sick about it. >> reporter: so sick about it, museum patron susan stockdale went inside the bank to find out what happened. >> i asked, yeah, i said i'm really sick about this whole, um, this smash-and-grab and everything and he said, oh, th

lens, and just like a camera the lens is focusing the light on the back of the eye, on the structure called the retina. you will see that the back of the eye, the retina, is not uniform. you will see that there is kind of a dip or a pit that's present in the eye. this is called the macular region of the retina, and it's in this region that we have our highest resolution vision. by the way it's also part of the retina that lets you see a color. the other part of the retina outside of the macula is called the peripheral retina. and this is very important, too, because it's the part of the retina that lets us see in the dark. so this is low-light vision. actually, you can appreciate this part of the retina too, because if you've ever looked at a starry night, if you notice if you don't point your eye directly at the star but look a little off kilter, the star gets brighter and that's because you'reym])n÷ the peripheral retina, the edges of the retina which has very high sensitivity for light but isn't as good for high resolution images. so we have these two aspects of the retina. now, the last thing i want to talk about is what are the types of neurons that are in the retina. and so, we can look at a blowup of this macular region. there are nerve cells specialized nerve cells in the retina capable of converting light energy to a neural signalnc and those are called photoreceptors. there are two kinds of photoreceptors. there are the rods and the cones. the cones are the photoreceptors that are crucial for high-resolution vision and they're in the center, the macula. the rods are the photoreceptors that are in the peripheral retina, and those are really essential for high sensitivity vision. the next step of visual information processing is that the information from the photoreceptors is passed along to the bipolar cells and from the bipolar cells the information is passed along to the ganglion cells, and the ganglion cells are the output neuron of the eye. so they're the nerve cells that send a million long fibers out into the optic nerve and into the optic track into the central visual pathways. one last very important point i want to make and that is there's another critical cell type in the retina. it's called the pigment epithelium and the pigment epithelial cells essentially provide crucial support and nutrients to the photoreceptors, and they're really essential for photoreceptor health and photoreceptor survival. and several blinding eye diseases involve and their treatments involve these pigment epithelial cells in the retina. we're going to hear about these cells. i think they're going to feature really quite large in our conversation. >> charlie: that's enormously helpful. thank you very much, a huge understanding of how we see and how important the brain is and how important the pathways are. i want to come now to jean and talk about -- we mentioned gene therapy, stem cell therapy and other things. how can gene therapy be helpful? >> well, carla set the stage for this perfectly because she explained how the pigment epithelium provides a nerve function for the photoreceptors, provides nutrients to the cells, taking away waste products, and the two cell types are interdependent so that if there's a problem in function of one particular gene and one of those cells it affects the other cells secondarily. so in the next image is an illustration of one particular example where a mutation can cause disease in both of these cells. you see some pigment epithelial cells next to the photoreceptor cells which are stunted because they're sickly, and the pigment epithelium cells themselves are sickly, they're accumulating liquid droplets because that i have a mutation which prevents them from forming a particular form of vitamin a derivative, which they normally supply to photoreceptors, and that's essential for vision. without the photoreceptors receiving the vitamin a derivative, they can't respond to light and there is no vision, and this makes them sick and they die off as the person ages. and the same thing can go on if there's a mutation in a photoreceptor it can cause disease in the retinal pigment epithelium. but knowing this, it's possible -- and knowing the genes which cause these diseases, it's possible to intervene. so i'd like to give you an example of a disease called labors congenital amarosis, which is one of the most severe forms of retinal degeneration, one of the most severe forms of rete us in pig men toe is a mainly does a it's manifest in babies, present at birth. it's usually parents who notice the children aren't responding to visual cues, tools held up to them or shiny objects or miles. instead, the children have abnormal roving eye movements because the retina is not giving signal to the brain and the brain isn't giving signal to the eye muscles to tell them to hold still. this is a disease which has been studied very carefully over the past two decades or so and we now know there are about 19 different genes which can give rise to the same phenotype. we've studied one which is called the r.p.e.65 gene. this is one of the more common forms of this condition and there also happens to be an animal model of this disease, puppies born with a spontaneous mutation and they are born blind, and we actually begin our work with these puppies restoring viption to them and reasoned wouldn't it be great to do this with children. so how would you carry out gene therapy? dna the very highly charged. that's a problem for getting a normal copy of dna, a corrective copy across the cell membranes. so you have to be able to encapsulate the normal copy of the gene inside of what's called a recominant virus. we've taken essentially a shell of the virus and packaged it with the normal copy of the dna. that dna inside the virus is then injected into the subretinal space which is the space between the neural retina and the nerve cells exposing those cells to the experimental reagent. and in the next image, you can see a closeup of the virus entering the subretinal space and delivering -- entering the retinal pigment epithelium cells. the dna inside that virus then goes into the nucleus of these cells where it sets up shop and starts encoding the protein that is missing which happens to be rp65, in this instance. this is a very stable effect in the first animals that we studied after one single injection. the protein was produced and the dogs could see, after eleven years, and, so, this is really quite stable. so the next question is how would this work in children. so the bottom line is that we run a clinical trial using gene therapy for this condition and have found that all of the children involved in this study can now lead essentially normal lives, whereas when they walk into the hospital using a cane or holding their parents' hands because they couldn't see well enough to navigate, they can walk independently, they can sit in the classroom and read books and sit in front of the classroom and see what the teacher is reading on the board, play sports, et cetera, so i would like to show you an example as one of the children. >> you're the pioneer of this. well, my team is. you'll see the video image of an 8-year-old boy who was one of the first children in the world enrolled in a gene therapy clinical trial for a non-lethal disease and he is shown three months after he received a single injection in one of his eyes, it happened to be his left eye, and in this video, his injected eye is patched. and what you will see, when this video plays, is that the boy is put through an obstacle course which is in the hospital exam room. it's full of arrows and obstacles that he's supposed to avoid and navigate his way around the course and find a door. what you can see in this video is the boy takes a step and he doesn't know what the do because he can't see anything. and he talks through this video and -- see if you can hear what he says. this is hard. he has to be coaxed. he takes a step and he bumps into the object, the sign in front of his eyes because he can't see it. he goes off-course immediately and it takes him a total of 17 minutes to make it through this course. >> charlie: he has great heart, though. >> oh absolutely. on the other hand when his uninjected eye is patched and he's using his newly injected eye, this is the same child, he's walking through the course stepping over an object jutting in his path, avoiding all the obstacles can confident and makes it to the end of the course without any problem whatsoever. so how does this translate into his daily life? this is what is so fantastic. this child who came in using a cane couldn't walk around, is now riding his bike to his friends' houses, playing baseball -- he was on a championship little league team -- hammering objects, playing video games. >> amazing. hitting targets with rocks, maybe doing things his parents would rather him not do but essentially leading the life of a normal child. >> charlie: the question we all want to know is to whom is that treatment going to help? what kind of blindness? >> this treatment will be effective for individuals who have mutations in the rpe-65 gene, because that is the type of dna that is delivered into the cells. if they had a mutation in a different gene, that wouldn't be effective. however, the exciting thing is that the same sort of approach can be used to intervene with other diseases that are due to other mutations, and there are now at least a dozen other targets out there, several of which are now in human clinical trials with very exciting results. >> charlie: and they're all learning from each other. >> right. this is is not restricted to the eye. gene therapy and as we'll learn stem cell therapy is used in other areas of medicine as well a major advance. >> charlie: talk about stem cell. >> gene therapy is in late-stage clinical trial development and showing remarkable safety, efficacy and durability and meaning it's working well within the clinical trials guidelines and poised, in my opinion, for approval. stem cell or regenerative medicine is different. these studies are early hold great hope and promise but but are in the early stages of development. i would categorize them as highly experimental. appropriately the first stage of any new trial is a safety trial or a phase one trial and that's what we'll talk about today. our hypothesis centers on the idea that we could replace the cells. we could take a stem cell which means that cell is capable of becoming any type of cell in the body. so we could take a stem cell, coax it into becoming a retinal pigment epithelial cell, differentiate, so to speak, and take the differentiated cells and inject them into patients who are missing the retinal pigment epithelium with the hope of rescuing or restoring vision. in this our aim is to safely transplant the stem cell retinal epithelial cells. >> she's treating a gene. he's replacing the whole population. >> we're trying to replace it. so for example in macular degeneration, the retinal pigment epithelial cells are lost and we're trying to replace them. we're using a strategy the same as jean. we're taking stem cells and coaxing them into becoming the rpe cells and we harvest them where they're most likely to be able to be transplanted into the same space that jean is using in her gene therapy trials to replace the cells. and once they're replaced, they either rescue or restore vision by taking care of the photoreceptors adjacent. >> charlie: i don't understand how you coax them. >> the truth is it's a very surprisingly astonishingly straight-forward method by which stem cells can be induced into certain cell types. it turns out retinal pigment epithelium are relatively low hanging fruit in terms of easy to induce the transformation the a terminally differentiated cell type. it's also important to realize the retinal pigment epithelium are attractive starting for stem cell therapy. kala told us how integrated the retina is. the epithelium has no synaptic connections. it's inside the blood-blaine barrier and protected. and it's surgically accessible. so we can get to it surgically relatively safety doesn't require synaptic connections. in the lab we can take the stem cells and turn them into essentially brand new young juvenile retinal pigment epithelium and give someone a fresh layer of cells if they have macular determination say, 40 50, 70 years old, for the duration. we have to date transferred a number of patients. the early studies seem safe seem astonishingly to be giving us a signal there might be some restoration of sings and i wanted to share with you the first person we trance transplant-d young lady who was a set designer and lost her vocation because of her blindness. >> when i was younger, i played a lot of competitive tennis, and i think when i was like in my later teens, i started playing a little more poorly. it was between the lines or the ball not quite as, you know, precisely and calling the lines and stuff was a little more difficult. i woke up one morning and i looked across my room and i have a piece of furniture there that's a large armoire and has a lot of carved detail. i had my head to the side and i opened the operated eye and i looked at it. and for the first time i could see the detail in it, but i hadn't been able to see from the distance i was lying down. after that i just got up and i started looking at everything around the house looking at the grass, looking at everything with one eye and then the other eye because they only operated on the one eye. and i could see it a lot better than i had before, and i thought, wow, maybe there's something here that would really be working. it was pretty exciting. >> charlie: how long will it be before you operate on the other eye? >> oh, a long time. we're very very careful step-wise, guided by, you know the fda appropriately and by our own ethics committees at u.c.l.a. and other universities. so only the worse eye when we're not certain about safety, as opposed to gene therapy where they're operating on both eyes in these kids. we have not, we're far from that, but we've certainly given this to -- this opportunity to a number of patients. >> how many patients have you done so far? >> between 20 and 30 and they're actually the heros. they're the people who willingly go into this with huge risks and they do it -- >> charlie: what are the risks. >> well, the risks in stem cell and regenerative therapy are enormous. we're careful about making certain we've differentiated the cells into retinal epithelium but if we give them a straight stem cell it could turn into anything the body could reject. so we've had a group of heroic patients to put themselves in harm's way for those who follow. >> the encouraging thing is that so far things seem to be moving safely. >> charlie: there are people who don't qualify for either gene or stem cell perp and you've stepped forward for the use of technology. >> right. gene therapy doesn't work, we cannot yet produce photoreceptors, but what we can do is to replace them technically. so we built a chip with photodiodes, and each one takes a spot and amplifies it and sends and electric signal depending on the strength of light. so it's a replacement of the natural photoreceptor with a technical photoreceptor. how does it work in we can see this 3 times 3-millimeter chip a little like the chip in the iphone but has a total different life. it has 1,500 photodiodes. >> charlie: 1500. 1,500. the image falls through the lenson to the chip and point by point the image is analyzed turned into an electric mirror image in the bipolar cells, they are stimulated point by point it processes the image and sends the image through the natural pathway of the optic nerve to the output of the retina, back to the central visual system where it is processed in a normal way. but now we have amplifiers there. >> charlie: yeah. they need current. how to do that. so what we see on the left is, again, the retina and the eye, and we put the chip right beneath the macular region, that's where we see the best and the brain has learned to see the things. and there is a tiny, yellowish vial going under the retina to the top of the eyeball, crossing the eye, getting out to to empower which goes back to a place behind the ear. but the first loop through on the right side to the retina. on the right is a roundish moon-like optic nerve. left of it is this grey area, a new window of the world to this patient, approximately the size of

only on 5, len ramirez with what looks like a case of crime hitting too close to home, len?: actually in the home of a san jose police officer. burglars broke into a cop's house around here last night. neighbors are not surprised that there was such a large response of officers. they only wish there would be that kind of response when their property gets stolen there was a noticeable increase in police presence in almaden. several marked cruisers patroled the street. >> i'm just in the area talking to residents. >> reporter: uniformed officers got out on foot to meet with neighbors because one of their own officers became the latest burglary victim last night. >> it's scary. it can happen to anybody. i think what's particularly scary is it's happening when people are home. >> reporter: kpix 5 has learned that burglars broke into a san jose police officer's house while he was on duty and while his wife and children were home. the family was unharmed. the same burglars broke into a second house next door. neighbors described an overwhelming response of officers to the cop's ho

len ramirez reports, not everyone thinks the missionary should be canonized. len. >> reporter: well, ken, few people have had the impact on california as father serra. certainly the california missions like mission san jose here in fremont are a big part of his legacy. but he is villified by many native americans who say that he basically wiped out their culture although he is beloved by many including apparently pope francis. in a move that will immortalize one of california's founding fathers, pope francis says he will can canonize father serra. >> he is trying to find different ways the catholic religion has been preached worldwide. >> reporter: serra is one of the most important figures in california history. he established the chain of 21 catholic missions spreading christianity and colonizing alta california for spain. in 1777, he established mission santa clara. >> he wrote some very nice letters about how wonderful the location of the mission was, how much he loved the native people's and how hard the missionaries here were working. >> how junipero serra will be judged. >> reporter: but if his dealings with those natives people's that also makes him a controversial figure especially to native americans. >> if you leave some of the, um, indian history, if you read it, they basically say he was not a nice man. if anything, he supported, um, i refer to it as cultural genocide. >> reporter: he said the pope should come to california when he visits the u.s. this year to talk with native americans before he canonizes serra. >> the pope should speak to us and acknowledge the tribes. >> reporter: so far, california is not a part of the pope's plans when he comes to the u.s. later this year in september. he plans to visit cities like philadelphia and others on the east coast. reporting live in fremont, len ramirez, kpix 5. >> father serra died in 1784 and he is buried at the mission san carlos in caramel. >>> fedex is about to bring tens of thousands of jobs to a northern california the city but can it handle all those people? >> there's work being done restore these native bay area plants but one thing could sabotage the whole project. >> plus, a wild ride for a guy stuck in a garbage truck. how he survived for ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ great rates for great rides. geico motorcycle see how much you could save. bulldog: out with the old and in with the new! mattress discounters' year end clearance sale ends monday. pup: what's this red tag mean? bulldog: through monday, save up to 40% on clearance mattresses. pup: oh! here's another! bulldog: that means up to 48 months interest-free financing on tempur-pedic. pup: i found another red tag! bulldog: what? where? pup: right here, silly!

lens and sat down with satya nadella. got to talk about the lens. in my experience this is the type of project that microsoft tends to fumble. the original surface was this coffee table supposed to go out and it never really got anywhere. now the surface is something else. you're worn the thing. is it good? and do you think it's going to work for them? >> those are two very different questions, right, jon, because you're right, microsoft has a history of fumbling. it's to the just that coffee table. that's the way microsoft does these things. microsoft also has a history of developing amazing technology. and this is that, jon. i have never seen anything like it. i've tried a lot of these headsets. >> so -- >> what about it is so impressive? >> well, you've probably heard a lot about virtual reality headsets, put them on, the oculus rift, and there's another world and you're in it. you put this on it's augmented reality. it brings the other world to your world. it allows for all kinds of different things and i mean, you know, i walked on mars, i got a little help fixing a light switch where get this an electrician basically on skype in front of me was able to look through my eyes, reach out and draw circles around the tools i should pick up. >> like the promo video that was on youtube yesterday, right? >> exactly. like that. >> did it look like that or kind of gussied up to make it seem -- was it more pixely. >> no, jon. it really looked like that. >> wow. >> that's excitement. temper the exuberance with the fact that this stuff is hard to launch and everyone is after it this year. we saw this from microsoft. we know that i mean there is the oculus, sony's product, there is a setup called magic leap somewhere in florida with nearly $600 million, most of that from google. everybody wants in on this. >> the thing about oculus, it already has the core audience in gamers that will snap up any product that they put out that is worth something to them. does microsoft have an audience for this? do you think customer behavior is there some. >> consider mine craft. i don't know if you have heard of it. most 8-year-olds have heard of it and microsoft owns it. one big bet that microsoft is making here, is that if this is the only place where you can play hollow graphic mine craft every 8-year-old will ask their parents for this game. >> productivity and platforms where is jats nadella has staked this company. this dangling thing off to the side is gaming. mentions it, says it's not core, but now we have this holo lenshis about productivity and platforms or about gaming or are they trying do a bit of both? do they risk losing focus some. >> they are trying to do a bit of poet both and, of course, they risk losing focus. they have to go big and microsoft has this problem, it's just not in the middle of conversation. what microsoft most hopes to do with the holo lens put itself in the middle of every conversation you're having. if it does that at base it will have elevated the game. >> is glass a cautionary tale for them or is the is a totally different world from glass? >> this is a totally different thing. glass is a cautionary tale for everyone. we don't know what it is. google has put tony fidel in front of it and could be something by next year. >> by the end of the year, they're going to have something out in the market. we don't know how much it's going to cost. >> no. >> we don't know who's going to have access to it. >> no. >> how long do they have before they have to put this on sale at a de

len ramirez on why the model is stirring up intrigue in the car industry. len. >> reporter: well, a lot of people want to see what this car really looks like. and this video was shot on a control phone by a man who was out skateboarding. he happened to be a tesla enthusiast and recognized what he saw. [ screeching ] >> reporter: the video now gone viral in the automotive world shows a careening suv being test driven on vacant runways in alameda believed to be the first spy video of the long- awaited tesla model x and the first time a model x has ever been spotted the running in the wild. >> the truck is flat. >> reporter: rob knows something about cars. [ car starts ] >> reporter: the san jose tech analyst and automotive enthusiast has placed an order for a model x. >> that looks like it. there's not another car that really looks like the tesla and it's clearly electric. there are no engine sounds. so the other cars the tesla is coming out with are all smaller than the tesla s. this is clearly bigger. >> reporter: it's a leap for the company which has been delayed in bringing the suv to market. >> it's supposed to be in stores by now so it's delayed. so it looks like they are getting close to releasing it. >> reporter: the stock has been down due to lower gas prices and the republican majority in congress which doesn't favor the subsidies which have helped keep tesla in business. >> it is a nice car. >> reporter: but video is spurring interest in the $70,000 suv which customers like tom mcgovern had their doubts they would ever see. >> it shows that it's a real car, it's come out and it gets me excited. i think it's going to be an incredible vehicle. i have friends that work at tesla and they say it has all kinds of cool features they can't talk about but they say it's going to be well worth the wait. >> reporter: now, here's a bit of intrigue. some analysts say that tesla may have staged the whole thing hoping to do that testing out in alameda where there might be more people around, certainly they have access to other more private test tracks hoping that it would turn viral, which it did. so far tesla isn't commenting. in san jose, len ramirez, kpix 5. >> nothing is ever by chance. the company founder says part of the delay in getting it to market is the difficulty in mass producing many of the model x parts. >>> there's been another security breach at mineta san jose airport. 39-year-old jose mendoza was arrested late last night. an airport security guard spotted him walking on a ground vehicle road. the guard confronted him and mendoza jumped an outer fence. he was transported to the hospital for minor injuries from scaling the fence. we're told he never made it close to the tarmac. >>> another new lead in the gruesome discovery of body parts stuffed in a suitcase in san francisco. police have now released these surveillance photos of a man they say is a person of interest. he is described as a white man age 50 to early 60s last seen wearing a pinstriped baseball hat and blue and orange jacket. >> transients -- we believe he is transient, it's difficult to try to locate this person. >> the suitcase containing body

understanding, different experts see north korea with a different lens for whatever reason they do, is there something -- is there a lenssomething about north korea understanding that you wished some american north korean experts new or had and perhaps make their assessment either more accurate or well-rounded for example or if there's a suggestion or certain area of north korea that you wish think tank experts in d.c. could work on or something that they are missing, something that if these people knew fact x about north korea i think their understanding of north korea might be better or more whole? >> all right, thanks. >> just on that point regarding north korea, i'll let him answer that question as well, but i would encourage experts to speak to people who go in and out of the country so you have a better understanding what the situation is on the ground because looking at north korea from the outside can often be very different than looking at it from inside the country. i'm not sure i want to divulge all the secrets to you how it is i got my stories, by the way. but i would like to say any good journalist whether

lens, and the people who look at it in a very national interest lens. if the glasses you wear human interest glasses you saw the israeli-palestinian situation, you tended to see the one light and if you were at the national interest glasses you saw it in another light. i guess my question is and e.j. has touched on it is there such a factor at work in these questions about isis and syria if not literally human rights in u.s. interest? is there some other way that people think about this issue that determines what their responses to your questions have been? >> we will take a second question over on this side. in the yellow sweater. >> i'm harlan a. i am a recovering realists. [laughter] >> aren't we all? >> in terms of an observation that we have been unsuccessful in two wars in large measure i would argue because we have had to does -- two presidents who are inexperienced and not competent to start them in to finish wars and during world war ii we had propaganda against a foe that deserved it. during the cold war we weren't bad but the question i want to pose to you is for secretaries of state without affect why we have not had a good counter narrative to destroy the credibility of al qaeda isis in these horrible movements by rallying the muslim world and maybe to get king abdullah from saudi arabia to say this is not good. why have we been unable to do that? >> ok, thank you. susan do want to start off on that? >> i can't speak to an internal saudi public opinion but i think you have to say these guys when it comes to american public opinion are certainly effective american propagandists frankly. chopping peoples heads off on video has given them pretty low approval ratings when it comes to not only the united states bought, i am sure, american muslims. somebody said to me last fall when this escalation was occurring they are not only triggered obama to do something that he was extremely reluctant to do but they are almost like a caricature of the perfect dream villa and -- billing -- villain when it comes to american politics. i am not entirely sure in the american political context that they haven't been pretty effective propagandists themselves for their own cause. >> of course that's a self-fulfilling prophecy because it they bring down our wrap, if -- our wrath, if they could actually get the united states to re-indeva iraq that would be -- re-invade iraq that would be their dream. >> i think a bigger part of the framing we haven't talked a lot about today that i would throw in there he started to get into it before we went to the questions which is the historical context. is it really about where americans are right now in terms of their use of american power and american foreign policy or does this poll reflects a very correct historical assessment that most american interventions or any interventions in middle eastern politics are likely to fail. it seems to me the same way that one could reasonably look at restarting negotiations for peace talks among the israelis and palestinians that the odds are extremely odd that they won't succeed. you don't need to have a lot of additional information. i do just wonder if the poll tells us more about a sensible conclusion based on their available knowledge that this policy is not likely to affect things very much one way or the other rather than being a real snapshot of these americans are actually foreign-policy realists at heart. >> shibley i want to ask you to draw on the earlier polling that you have done across the arab world and of course we have a lot of data from gallup and others, broader sentiment in muslim majority countries around the world toward islamist extremism. so what do we know and what do we know about that counternarrative maybe not driven by the u.s. government but maybe driven by others? >> that is a really good question, and i will quickly address the earlier questions and the worldview issue is something that needs to be probed. that's something i would start with because they think there's something always there that is just covered when you focus on the issues and to look at these packages. and it goes down to, it relates also to what gary asked about. what is the prism through which democrats or republicans view these issues or at least the american public and obviously there are multiple prism. i just want to know one thing on the poll you refer to you are right about the democrats mostly sikh human rights and the palestine question most of the people through a human rights prism. but the republicans don't see it through u.s. interest prism media. they see it through to prisons. -- two prisms. one is also human rights by the way particularly evangelicals but the evangelicals see if there are religious lens. on that one they are the only community in the poll that had a strong feeling about their position religiously mowed and there will be more dull -- analysis of the data and further demographics as we have done in the past but i would suggest if you look here just at the democrats and republicans alone it tells you there something of a worldview that you have to analyze. just by looking at the differences on some critical issues. now going back to tomorrow's --tamara's questions about attitudes in the muslim world of course we have been doing that. i've been doing polling for a dozen years in their countries on multiple issues including attitudes towards extremism and al qaeda. we have asked many questions originated by al qaeda specifically and there is something to be learned here. initially when we probe about the last decade and a half certainly after 9/11 what we find is that most people when you ask them what it is about, what aspect of al qaeda do you admire the most of any and

predominantly democrats, who look at this through a human rights lens and the people predominantly who looked at it through a national interest lens -- if the glasses you wear are human interest glasses you saw the israeli/palestinian situation in -- you tended to see it in one light. if you wore the human interest lenses you saw it in another light. we touched on it a bit. e.j. has touched on it. is there such a factor at work in these questions about isis in syria if not literally human rights and u.s. interest? is there some other way that people think about this issue that determines what their responses to your questions have been. >> and we'll take the second question over on this side. the yellow sweater. yep. >> i'm harlan allman, i'm a recovering realist. >> aren't we all. >> in terms of an observation that we've had -- we've been unsuccessful in two wars in large measure i would ar gushgs because we had two presidents who were inexperienced and really not competent to start and then finish wars. the proof is my question. during world war ii we had pretty good propaganda against a foe that deserved it. during the cold war

lens right there. but there are swarms of them. it has a lot to do with the atmosphere. you don't see bugs around the lens when it's windy or real cold. there's a certain kind of climate and this climate, that looks like a springtime shot to me. temperatures today got up into the upper 60s in some of the warmest spots. even low 70-degree readings in the sonoma area today. we got lots of systems. i was just talking to rosemary and that's a good one. that's a good one. and if they were coming this way, we would get few inches of rain. 3 inches of rain. those two systems is. but they are going right up over the top. so this is not the pattern, the productive pattern we need. that's what they are supposed to look like, but the jet stream is driving everything up over the top. we are here with no rain, with valley fog back in the forecast. we had a dense fog advisory this morning in the central valley. that dense fog advisory, i don't think they will see one again tomorrow morning or tonight, but we will see more dense fog showing up patchy in places like we saw this morning. 9-mile an hour east wind in napa.

lens. when there is a consensus that has to be made by certain group the consensus is most likely going to be through a specific lensunless you're's diversity amongst the people that are trying to come to a consensus then there will be a lack of diversity what the consensus is, if that makes sense. being here at sundance is a great example of a group of organization that is made a commitment to diversity. that have considered diversity is one of the talking points. i won best director here in 2012, but i was the first black person to do so. it was a long time coming. >> that was for "middle of nowhere." >> there is been a real articulated mission by the institute, by the sundance institute's sake, regardless of awards, we're going to be a platform for voices of all kinds all over the world. they have articulated and executed that mission. talk about the academy or this industry in general, the studios -- everyone needs -- if we really care about it, not to say we care about it, but work towards it. so perhaps all of the coup plot this year will trigger some action, but maybe not. >> no person of color, not only for

last decade new america's program led by lori rubiner, len nichols and shannon brownly worked to put that vision into place. this organization and lenost importantly cross ideological conversation that ultimately and it was wonderful to see it happen, ultimately resulted in some legislation that by 2008 had ten co-sponsors from each party. and piece of legislation that in some ways went further than the affordable care act but in other ways not. one thing we have done is try to look at the kind of situations where government can get things done, even in the situation where people have deep disagreements about values n doing that i still look at that -- the work new america did eight and ten years ago as a fascinating example. it reaffirmed for me a very basic truth, when people share a commitment to getting something done, when they agree the status quo isn't good enough, and willing to talk to each other, even if they're -- even if there are deep differences on what to do and how to do it but if people are willing to talk to each other, anything is possible. people can find solutions, even without giving up their core beliefs. and

helped develop the high explosive lens that was integral to the nagasaki bomb to directing the explosives inward. he also provided sketches and descriptions of not only the lens but also some of the dynamics of creating these weapons systems to the soviet union. he gave a list of personnel to the soviets that could potentially be recruited later on by soviet intelligence. really what he comes down to somebody he is the real supplement to fuchs. he he, fuchs, was the one with the real ideas and providing the real physics behind the atomic bomb whereas greenglass could provide the actual mechanics behind building these weapons systems. so together they provided the soviets with a lot of really important information. so we flou actually so some of the greenglass sketches that he provided to the soviets during this time because of the end of the cold war and declassification of some of this. this first sketch is actually the sketch of the fat man boy the plutonium bomb, they used implosion to create a nuclear clan reaction. in the explosive lenses are the things on the outside that instead of exploding, they imploded to create this chain reaction. this was an inc

and we need to look at all our energy issues lieu the lens of climate change -- issues through the lens of climate change. there are legitimate questions of whether we want to send our natural gas to other countries. that might help our frayed balance but it will have -- trade balance but it will have negative impacts on our energy sector. i don't claim to have all the answers. but i know we looked at some of these issues last congress but i don't believe that a clear consensus emerged and in any event this is a new congress with scores of new members who have not looked at this issue before. so i think we need to take these issues back to the energy and commerce committee and let the committee and its 12 new members do its job. let us look at the facts again as they are today, not last year or last congress. i think if we were to do that we'd seen even if this legislation was necessary, it isn't anymore. d.o.e. has modernized its process and any backlog that once existed isn't an issue at this point. the d.o.e. and the administration have opened the way for l.n.g. exports, but i think

lens. >> it's very tightly scoped, it's sorry of the so what, because lots of bad things are going to happen in the world. so you've got this most likely lens, but i'm not always clear about most dangerous to who. if you really want to figure out most dangerous and most violent. there are a lot of mosts we can talk about most dangerous and violent to regular people. nobody's really mentioned central america, which i think is one of the most dangerous places in the world is it because -- why? because we can't do anything about it? because it doesn't affect us that much, because that leeds to other most mostism pactful. which is a word i hate, most disruptive? disruptive to who? to the united states system? most destabilizing to the international system. and i think also jim, your lens is more towards just sort of global business and would be so things that are disruptive as opposed to violence. so you can have places that are inconsequential, that really pull at our heart strings from a human rights perspective or really gross us out in other ways and it wouldn't necessarily be at the top of your list. so i just seeing the different ways in which you can look at these, i think as we ask questions and try to tease out some more of these issues, i think it's important to sort of present what lens you're looking at this with first. none of these lenses really do take on this issue of horrendous violence that could potentially spin out of control in places like central america because they're not normal conflicts necessarily. or how do you see that in the context of bad stuff happening in 2015? >> in the past, central america dropped out this year only because the other countries are those where the likelihood of deadly violence actually is greater in terms both of num
