welcome to "full measure."n our recent trip to the southern border, we saw how easily drug smugglers climb over or cut through the border fence or simply find spots where there is no fence at all. but you might be surprised to know how extensively mexico's smugglers use another tactic to move people and drugs into the u.s. -- underground tunnels. earlier this month, a tunnel the length of four football fields was discovered running from a restaurant in mexico to a house in southern california. that is how we begin this week it's nicknamed the "james bond tunnel," the first known drug tunnel unearthed in the u.s. back in 1990. federal agents who found it said it was like something out of a bond movie. at 270 feet long, it was dug near the official border crossing in the town of douglas, arizona, part of a drug trafficking network run by mexican drug kingpin el chapo guzman. in just seven months, the feds say guzman used this 5-foot-tall underground passageway to help smuggle 60,000 pounds of cocaine into the u.s

are 65 measures to make sure that this so-called apartheid, when the prime minister uses this word, it created a shockwave in france. this is a problem with bill that will then go to parliament, starting in june, that many of those measures have already been proposed or have been implemented in the past, and the result has not been very good. when you go to the neighborhoods in france, the geographical aspect has changed many of the very ugly towers that used to be there and are not there anymore. however, when you need to find a job, you need to get some support for education or professional training, it is not there. this has really been a problem. after the paris attacks, the prime minister was hoping that supportl help fuel more for this initiative, but they are not certain it will be working better than previous initiatives. catherine: we are seeing protests in france. there is a lot of anger on the streets. is there a sense that the french government needs to be seen to be taking some kind of action? is that what this is about? the -- whattly what it is about. however, this comes

the tsf that passed in december was not a consensus measure. , it was a measure that in december 7 members this body voted as inadequate and it make stronger. the 7 voted to bank the revenue from the inadequate tsf and send a stronger measure to committee for approval in accordance with our board rules. the media especially the chronicle has completely blocked out the content of this stronger measure and reported the veto as some sort of political game rather than an effort to give developers a break or to increase revenue for the shortfall in our transportation system. one of our members called the inadequate tsf fair. i asked again fair to whom? notice to the riders of muni who face inadequate funding and knot to the workers of muni, who have to contend with less and certainly not to the taxpayers that foot the bill that sub disses of rich and powerful developers are getting. there has been a long public process of the measure before us today and most noteworthy is the planning commission meeting where commissioners unanimously supported all of the amendments i recommended before them, a

how do we measure security outcomes and how do we measure the benefits? there's a lot of information about how much screening measures cost and what we don't see is how much, how money lives had they stayed? it's worth spending a large amount of money if you believe it works so the modeling system of counterterrorism is away to find evidence. all smiley face it's really about how do the cost compared to the benefits, what are the trade-offs that we are prepared to accept? 15 years after 9/11 maybe it's time to recalibrate in our response to those events and what we are doing now. so the key issue that comes up time and time again is risk-averse. the budget and spending up of land and the uk's clearly say any new regulations must satisfy cost-benefit considerations -- cost benefits and if you do that you must use expected values which really means me and i'll use. not using worst-case or pessimistic values. individuals can be risk-averse. an asteroid you can do that. that's a luxury i have. governments do not have that luxury. there have been large amounts

the next measure is the last measure recommended for support consideration is found on page 35. this is by senator beall, sba 24. there are several ongoing cap and trade funded programs that funds rail and transit and other programs so this is the low carbon transportation program. it is essentially formula program that distributes cap and trade funding to transit agencies on a basis that already exists in law and used to fund projects that are new efforts at reducing green house gas. an example would be a new line put into service that didn't exist before but for the availability of the money and so that would be a eligible project. there are wrinkles in how that was drafted originally. now that we had one year of experience in the field with transit operators dealing with how the money is distributed, the timing and the other small elements of the program are being addressed in in the measure. it isn't in a final form but it is the form of [inaudible] support recommendation is being made. one measure that we are looking at has a history from policies that we took last year on

it measures how much money in and out of the country. finance ministry officials sure place $22.5 billion. the trade account was back in the positive. the surplus stood at $3.9 billion. the trade figure improved, as lower crude oil prices reduced energy imports in value terms. the surplus for the primary income account, which measures earnings from overseas investments was about $18.9 billion. >>> well, japanese lawmakers have started to debate legislation on the transpacific partnership free trade deal. discussions have heated up over the issues of disclosing details. japan's lower house special committee on tpp related bills kicked off on thursday. the main opposition democratic party is sharply criticizing how tech in most of the material submitted by the government is blacked out. the documents detail points of contention during the negotiations. >> translator: i have never seen materials as blacked out as this. without necessary information on the negotiation process, it is impossible to decide whether they were truly in japan's nat

, whether patients are involved in the quality measures. frankly, i don't care how many mammograms my doctor has ordered. >> i think you're making a good point. i think one of the things that makes most sense to me when you look at these models is to think about whether or not there's actually both flexibility and coordination that goes on, because then you are talking to the patient and you are getting involved in what the patient wants, and it seems to me that in terms of achieving those goals, the kinds of things that we were hearing about both in terms of the bundled payment and the independence at home have a better opportunity to do that than ones that are really focused on, are more technically focused and don't involve the patients as much. >> we do have patients on the various quality measure development teams and committees that review quality measures for implementation in various programs. it is critical. >> so let's move to the other side, if you could please identify yourself. >> i'm joanne lamb from the institute center for e

putting off -- right measures.e are putting off the things we need to do. francine: what is wrong with the business cycle? lord king: it is the basis -- the basic intellectual framework. central-bank selected use the word headwinds a great deal. if you give enough monetary policy stimulus and are patient enough, the headwinds will abate of their own accord. they will not because we are facing a major disequilibrium. countries need to spend less and save more. countries like china and germany need to spend more domestically and export less. francine: what is the endgame in this? central-bank going to continue to do too much? are central banks at some point saying i cannot focus on inflation. i cannot bring inflation up so i am going to abandon the fight. lord king: did you banks need to argue much more forcibly and they are doing. i think central banks need to argue more forcibly and they are doing -- more forcibly then they are doing. since a banks have become like a cyclist cycling up a hill that is becoming steep

upfront measures.res needed for greece to reach 3.5% gdp primary surplus in medium term according to the european commission forecast. i would say those agreements are basically reached. this work is basically done. it still needs to be completely finalized and of formulae's. -- formalized. and what about the imf's scenario comes into place. of gdpdiscussing 2% contingency measures. a discussion not only of the substance of the measures but also on the legal form. we are ready to cooperate and work closely with the imf, greek authorities to find this appropriate legal form. guy: what you are talking about is what is already in place, that it is enough. do you think the imf should be satisfied? does it need legislating? institution has its own forecast and procedures. according to european commissions forecast, if greece measures3% gdp upfront which are already basically agreed with institutions, it should be under enough for reach its primary surplus target especially taking year, itunt that last greec

because of that one measurement. and that was -- that also was a great measurement followed up on the venus mission. >> yes, sir. >> you talk about finding life on other planets, are you talking about existing life, old life? describe what piece of equipment you might use to identify it. >> so finding life, how do we do that? that is so hard to do. and let me give you a little idea how. so we got a group of people have come together and we've said, okay, give us a definition of life. so we can figure out how to build an instrument to measure it. no problem. took them ten years. they're astro biologists. we brought the right groups of people to do that and ended up with a nice concise definition. life has three basic attributes, one, it metabolizes. so that means it needs liquid for ingesting and extracting and then waste elimination. okay. so the me tabization is important part. second thing, it has to reproduce. third thing, it has to evolve. that's life. now, how in the heck am i going to build an instrument that's
