we love the marine corps. people who look at change agents and say we need to change a lot of times are seen as negative or bad but the problem is if i'm a woman looking for opportunities is not like women are stupid we will go where we think we will make the biggest impact is probably not in the service that does not welcome them into the fold i wrestle with that everyday dry want women to join? absolutely but it's unfortunate that is where we are. >> playing the devils advocate why is it important to have strong capable women in the marine corps? . >> not even just women but diversity of thought the group of people that our trained to think like the enemy to shoot and hold operational plans so when we go to war the plan doesn't have errors that will cost lives that we don't share that same mindset of other facets of the military it is unfortunate we don't see change as positive for people who proposed change as good things for the service. >>host: to stay relevant i have heard that a few times. >> that used

huge beds of sea grass are often called the oceans rain forests and they play a similar role in marine ecology. they offer countless species both sustenance and protection seagrass beds also produce oxygen and store carbon dioxide by binding it in a long term form and mounted for the last two years with a project see art roll vian weaver and his colleagues have been trying to find out what other vital functions the marine plants might fulfil. seagrass helps to damp the energy transmitted by the waves and also to curb the power of currents that in turn cuts down on erosion of the seabed the seagrass helps stabilize it. so it plays a role in coastal protection because the waves that arrive on the coast strike it with less energy. the first step for the researchers was to examine the condition of the sea grass beds on germany's coasts their results show that agriculture on land is proving poisonous to the marine plants global warming is also causing massive algae blooms that cut off the light that sea grass needs to grow european universities and partners from industry are working togethe

so we have a wonderful collection of a marine with the fifth marines.nd this was an excellent way to highlight his materials because they were attached and under command of the u.s. army at the time. chateau terie took place in june and july of 1918. included the well-known actions for the marines at bello wood was part of this particular campaign. basically what the campaign was, the germans' last attempt to try to take paris. his story is just phenomenal. he was very eloquent in his writings to his parents about what he had seen and in some cases what he had done, what they were doing. he kept a lot of materials from his service. so he was there with the fifth marines. and he was actually a show show gunner, another french light machine gun for us the american army would use the browning automatic rifle that we saw earlier or the french show show as it was known the model 19 is a which is that piece right there that you're looking at. so that's what malcolm was armed with. he hated it. most americans that were armed with these either liked them or did

now at this point, two marines have been rescued.been described in good condition thanks to the japanese military who rescued him or her. a second, we don't know the current status of that individual. the u.s. ambassador has thanked the japanese self-defense forces for what they have done. take a listen to what that diplomat had to say. >> i would like to say my heart goes out to the families and colleagues of the marines that are involved in the tragedy. >> reporter: now, unfortunately, it has been more than 17 hours since the collision. they are operating and the sun has set and the conditions are difficult, though there are more than a dozen aircraft and several ships, mostly from the japanese helping in the desperate rescue effort. dave. >> dark now. 6:17 p.m. hopefully more good news ahead. ivan watson, thank you. >>> wisconsin's democratic attorney general-elect says a flurry of republican legislation this week is virtually certain to end up in court. the lame duck session of the gop legislation passed a range of bills to dimin
