in this second of two episodes, we venture beyond the blockbuster main sights. the lagoon and discover village venice, see traditional artisans blow it big time, join locals in the market, get to know the leading venetian painters, and follow the superpower's decline into the decadence of its hedonistic 18th century. in the north of italy, at the head of the adriatic sea, venice sits in a vast lagoon, connected to the mainland by a causeway. along with the main island, we'll visit three other islands -- torcello, murano, and burano. venice was born in mud like this. after the fall of rome, farmers on the mainland, sick and tired of being overrun by barbarians, moved out into this lagoon, hoping the barbarians didn't like water. from that humble beginning was born one of europe's great cities. and by the 13th century, venice had become the economic and military superpower of europe. today's lagoon is filled with reminders of its first inhabitants, those farmers who became seafaring merchants, dredging canals, pounding in millions of timbers for foundations, and b

case for president obama the main reason for president obama to go to war in syria he wanted to punish president assad for killing all those people and what's strange is. the u.n. and specters didn't even request. of those bodies they didn't want to see the autopsies they didn't want to go to the morgue and. this is how this can explain the reasons why such a request from. there were so many victims who were still alive that there was really no need to to exuma bodies and basically take a tissue from them because there were so many victims who were alive but we had also complete case history meaning that the victims were able to tell how they were affected what they felt what the symptoms were which is much more powerful than taking tissue from from me from a body well. in my humble opinion autopsy is a very very rich source of any sort of information and war over the u.n. inspectors side a lot of stories about a lot of interviews about how many people were killed at some point that they report they say that. they were like. a family of forty people killed in. and yet for some reason t

outstanding we didn't expect syria to commit when it did but i do think this horrible you know a new main civil war which has dragged on for two and a half years was really ratcheted up in me in public attention and politics when there were fourteen hundred people killed on august twenty first with the chemical attack resistance to damascus and i don't know who actually was behind that attack neither the u.n. inspectors nor any other observer is could are asserting that for sure even though obviously different countries different capitals have different opinions but since you already mentioned russia and the united states correct me if i'm wrong but i think both of these countries have. missed the deadlines the o.p.c. w set out for them now syria cannot afford to do that and series now placed under a very tied deadline it has to demolish its chemical weapons still meet next year and if it fails to comply if it that deadline there is a threat of force on the table i wonder. if on the technical side there is any danger of rushing it had with the design movement process without having all th

a. >> prescription drugs may soon be more affordable for people living in maine.esidents there are now legally allowed to buy prescription drugs from canada. it went into effect wednesday and designed to give americans access to cheaper medications. pharmacies have filed a lawsuit to stop the law. they fear the danger of counterfeit medication getting into the drug supply and it could under cut american business. for years residents near board states have been illegally buying prescription drugs because the price caps make it more affordable. we look at allowing the prescription drug imports. the food and drug administration would not comment on the story due to the government shutdown. one pharmacist in bangor, maine, is worried about his customers and his business. why not allow them to do it legally? >> well, i personally do not have any problem with my customers to go legally anywhere to get their prescription, but my biggest concern is when a customer or a client have multi sources to gather their prescription needs there is not an uniform situation to look a

weapons and nuclear weapons is in fact the most likely most likely weapon of indiscriminate in you main massive destruction that terrorist groups would use so everyone is worried about chemical agents like we saw used in tokyo japan in one thousand nine hundred five and like saddam hussein used in one thousand nine hundred eight we're worried about use of chemical agents and that's why we've been working for decades to rid the world of these. i think syria coming into the treaty has been a really historic step forward and i give a lot of credit to to both russia and the united states and also to president assad for agreeing to a seed to the treaty but it also means that we have to put pressure on israel and egypt in particular those two countries have no reason to stay outside the treaty regime and obviously there's politics around all of this i mean the the middle east politics the israeli palestinian politics the israeli nuclear stockpile which is linked to chemical and biological. options too for the arab countries is all part of the politics so we're very used to being in the midst

she claims seeing the main defendant, the other zschape, -- the main defendant, beate zschape, with her fellow gang members. >> she tells the court she saw her with the fellow gang members and a skinhead. that man says that it is a case of mistaken identity. prosecutors say that the witness came forward only after the trial began. >> she said she did not want to draw attention to her self or t be a busy body. she was not even sure that her observations were at all significant. >> the testimony may have been a blow to zschape, who prosecutors say took part in all 10 murders. but her attorneys say it proves nothing. >> subsequent investigations by the federal prosecutor and federal police have confirmed our view. therefore, we are quite lax. -- relaxed. >> the evidence could prove explosive nonetheless. if the witness did observe what she claimed, it would strongly suggest the alleged killers and their codefendant did not act alone, but with the support of a whole network of neo-nazi sympathizers. >> when we come back, the latest on angela merkel's efforts to form a government. >> despit
