the nuclear security summit next week in washington is going to mobilize high-level leadership. of all the big problems in the world, this is one of the more manageable. it's -- the number of site where is the material exists is -- is known. or close to being known. the it is a very finite number. a small number and not too complicated to know what to do with those sites or those materials. it is not an emotionally or historically laden issue. it is not like dealing with this -- or you know, in the middle east or you know, korea and japan where you have all of these legacy issues that very much complicate things. this is a relatively manageable issue and i think that the summit and the attendance that is going to be at the summit is testament to that. you get more than 40 leaders -- leaders of more than 40 countries willing to come to an invitation to come and work on this issue and not really holding it hostage to a lot of other issues shuggets that it is a relatively benign problem to try to deal with. if what we mean, though, by nuclear security, is the broader understanding

what mobile high-definition video can be supported, that's a pretty competitive service with a number of the wireline services today. if something were to happen that would cause a significant diminution in this -- lack of support from the capital market, forms of regulatory disincentives, whether in the forms of regulatory mandates or resale requirements, equivalent to what we had on the incumbent monopoly phone that works in the '90s to promote competition, we said we're going to force you to unbundle and resell it networks to competitors. that did not work. no incentives for the phone companies to make it work and no incentives for competitors. we were a competitor on the verge in the '90s, getting into the phone business, but there was no incentive because somebody could come along and by government-regulated low-price access from the incumbent. we lived the failure of a mandatory access regime. what has succeeded is the investment in competitive facilities. were it to go away for the reasons i mentioned, that would cause me to rethink a lot of my positions. >> you could offer 100

positive, that there is a lot of effort, nuclear security summit next week in washington will try to mobilize high-level leadership to deal with this problem of securing fissile materials and of all the kind of big problems in the world, this is one of the more manageable. it's the number of sites with material like this is known or close to being known. it's a very finite number, it's a small number. and it's not too complicated to know what to do at those sites for those materials. it's not an emotionally or historically they didn't issue. it's not like dealing with the surge of the croats in the middle east or korea and japan where you have all of these legacy issues that very much complicate tanks. this is a relatively manageable issue and i think the summit in the attendance that's going to be at the summit is testament to that, do you get more than 40 leaders of more than 40 countries willing to come to an invitation to work on base issue and not really holding it hostage to a lot of other issues, suggest that it's a relatively benign problem to try to deal with. albeit an important one. if

government has started the much awaited spectrum auction for telecom firms of the high-speed third- generation 3g mobileservices. >>> as greece struggles with massive debt, the debt rating agency fitch has downgraded the country by two points. they said the downgrade reflects what it calls adverse prospects for economic growth. >>> ireland is struggling to keep its public finances under control. the government has already embarked on massive cuts in public spending. how is that affecting the irish people? our economics editor stephanie flanders has been in dublin finding out. >> the recession and ireland is easy to spot. here in shawnee financial buildings from the days of the boom. here are empty construction sites, where a country that used to be called the celtic tiger ground to a halt. ireland had a much bigger boom and bust and a much bigger bust. its national income has caught -- fallen 20% since 2007, 1/5 of its economy wiped out. like britain, ireland has a record budget deficit of nearly 12% of national income. the difference is that here, the government already has had to take painful steps to

outside and seek shelter in a low-lying area away from the mobile home because mobile homes have a tendency to flip over in high winds. tornado or not this is a very dangerous storm. the rest of the washington area remains under a severe thunderstorm watch. that goes until 11:00. but you can see here on radar, this little cluster here now moving into northern maryland and out of the panhandle of west virginia. that's really about the only game in town at this point. but the atmosphere around washington remains very, very unstable, indeed. no doubt you went outside today you noticed that we changed air masses completely from yesterday. temperatures are now in the mid 70s around town. but up where the rain is coming down, fredrick, maryland, only 55. martinsburg, only 54 degrees. here's a look at the big view here. notice that bowling ball of spin now moving into western parts of indiana. that is the main area of low pressure which is generated almost 100 reports of tornadoes over the last 72 hours. that area of low pressure is eventually going to be crossing just up to the north of the washington area. during th

the convergence of mobile, wireless services, high-speed internet access, and powerful hand sets promise to transform almost all aspects of the way americans work, learn, deliver services, and enhance our public safety. congress should move expeditiously on this inventory legislation and avoid additional costs and also unleash the potential and create more jobs in these individuals that are out there innovating and helping people live in a better way of life. i encourage support of this bill. i thank the gentleman for bringing it. i yield back. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman's time has expired. the gentleman from virginia, for what purpose does do you rise? mr. boucher: mr. speaker, at this time i'm pleased to yield fufe minutes to the gentleman from massachusetts -- five minutes to the gentleman from massachusetts, mr. markey, chairman of the subcommittee on energy and the environment of our energy and commerce committee. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from massachusetts is recognized for five minutes. mr. markey: i thank the gentleman very much. and i thank the gentlema

mobile broadband accesses high.they see it as a communications device. >> you have to make sure your website and communications are mobiley-enabled. >> they need and understanding. i have seen everyone here with some type of smartphone. this guy has a battery connected to it that looks like it came from his car. when you go into these communities, the knowledge is not there. they need to do that education. you are creating new customers. >> what do you see in latino communities? >> represent the latino, and we have -- we are there for young, latino access. what we have seen online is they are early adopters. i am trying to figure out what kind of question they asked. what i have seen is that a lot of young people that are online are extremely early adopters. if they are minorities, they are learning how to use whatever medium -- gone twitter, everyone is probably on there right now. a lot of the topics are driven a lot by african-americans and hispanics, which is interesting to see. in the campaign we are running ri

mobile communications needs right on target. some of the efforts to try to restructure the high cost funded universal service to ensure that it's going to bring broadband, generally very much on target i think. the efforts to focus on adoption, the efforts to get the federal government to play a role as a purchase services and driving broadband as an option in its broadband network to do two is situated you know, you think all these things are very good. there is some aspects of it that causes a little bit of pause, but that happens whenever 360 page document. >> host: such as? a >> guest: i would say some of this isn't some of the questions raised with regulation. we wrote adopted as it is essentially followed since then, which is that the government gives the really light regulatory touch to the internet and has a spouse that policy around the world, that that is the right policy. and while this plan doesn't recommend a change from that, it raises the question about whether or not there should be a change from that policy. and then there are other specific issues. i'll just pick one, copper retirement which is close to us and

high. there you have it, and what i would call neo-orthodox thinking. we should reinforce competition laws to preserve a dynamic and socially mobile society. regulation of enterprises internal invasion of externalities' using revenue neutral taxes if necessary -- i am against taxing work, so i would use externalities' to reduce income taxes. programs to correct other instances of market failure. creation of incentives for corporations and financial sector behavior that a line of private and public interests. restructuring the financial structure. i have no illusions about this. policies to preserve competition in the wrong hands can really get out of hand. externalities' -- coping with them through taxation can lead to crazy policies. we could have more market intervention and then we want. but we cannot be paralyzed by those problems. whatever we do, it is going to be very difficult to defend market capitalism to those who do not like it. we like it, and we should cut programs and to defend it from those to see an excuse to transform it. that we do not want to do. we want to reform it, but not transform it. thank you very much.

one is to try to bring mobile banking into the region, so that the region becomes less cash- based. cash-based economies are ones with a disproportionately high levels of crime and corruption. we are trying to use the telecommunications infrastructure that is there. in a place with that per-capita gdp, there is actually a fairly robust wireless telecommunications infrastructure. we are trying to use that to provide information directly to women and families so that they can protect themselves when they are -- when there are bad guys nearby. we want them to be less vulnerable to malicious or those that would exploit them. >> is this the first time -- the first time this position has been created? >> the secretary, but -- about becoming secretary of state, she did this early on, and she alluded to this during her confirmation, increasingly, it is the case that we live in a world that is less bound by the vast distances and traditional national boundaries. one thing she did from the outset was create a space for technology and innovation in her office and throughout the department. she brought myself and a variety of other people in to create an

to try to bring mobile banking into the region so the region becomes less cash based because one of the things we know that cash based economies are ones that have disproportionately highlevels of crime and corruption. a second thing trying to do is use the telecommunications infrastructure and remarkably in a place with a per capita gdp of $184 there's fairly robust wireless telecommunications infrastructure. we're trying to use that to provide information directly to women and families so they can protect themselves when there are bad guys nearby so they can be less vulnerable to predation by militias and people who would sexually or violently exploit them. >> host: is this the first time in state department this position was created? >> guest: yes the secretary upon becoming secretary of state, one of the things she did early on and she alluded to this during her confirmation remarks was is increasingly the case that we live in a world that's less bound -- bound by vast distances and traditional national boundaries and sell one of the things she did from the outside was create a space for technology and innovation in her office and throughout the department so she b

mobile command center has been brought into place. you can see several officers. this part of mass avenue has fencing there. it looks like a shorter fence, maybe four or five feet high. let's take you to video. as you were talking about maureen, there is going to be traffic issues here tomorrow. d.c. police and federal authorities have set up checkpoints around this area. what you really need to keep in mind if you travel through this area that tonight at 10:00 this place is basically going to be shut down. we show you that map earlier. remember, if you use major routes like ninth street to get to work you won't be able to do that monday and tuesday. also if you typically use the mount vernon other than metro station you won't be able to after 9:00 p.m. today until the summit is over. trains will pass through the tunnel there, but no passengers are getting on and off. >> if your normal commute takes you past the convention center and you don't do anything to prepare for that, then you might be in for some trouble on monday morning. we're really trying to get the word out to people about the street closures and the parking restrictions so they can plan ahead and make

high, but they're connected, they have phones. and samuel says that makes him a player. >> everybody has a phone. >> this little device with a few buttons is the hottest commodity around. >> the mobileone is probably the biggest social revolution that's come to africa. >> michael joseph is head of safari com, the largest mobile phone operator in kenya. >> what would be the product to introduce into an emerging market like kenya? it's the prepaid mobile phone. >> reporter: why? because for years, kenyans could not even communicate with the neighboring town. telephone lines are poorly connected here, and the service erratic at best. so cheap, pay as you go cell phones, now allow kenyans to talk and do fwiz with people in the next town or anywhere in the world. in kenya, many people work in the cities, but have family become in the rural areas, keeping in touch is important. so is sending money. once again, enter the cell phone. empaza, which means mobile money,a service that uses text messaging to securely send money around the country. it's an incredibly simple system. let's say for example you want to withdraw cash, someone sends money to your cell phone. that money sits on the cell

science to be completely appealing to conservatives and too high in the class of liberalism to be appealing to progressives and then the stuff about mobile warming is sure to drive libertarians crazy. on that point, let me just make the point although i have no expertise on the subject, that the controversies of mobile warming are precisely as timothy ferris mentioned incapable of like it statements one way or the other and specifically to state global warming is happening in human beings have a role in it does not resolve any important public policy question. those questions must be resolved by further inquiry and the actual dimensions of the problem, the cost they are going to impose and on whom they are going to fall and on land and the cost than the various different strategies for remediation or adaptation, and there is ample ground in that very detailed empirical inquiry for what have been the major policy initiatives pushed by the people most concerned by global warming. i will leave it at that and ask the author if he wants to comment first on anything the commenters said before turning it over to more questions from the audience

mobile. when wimax and lte can support high-definition video, that is a competitive service. if something were to happen that would cause a significant to ammunition in this kind of investment, lack of support from the capital markets, forms of regulatory disincentives in the form of regulatory mandates or resell requirements -- or resale requirements,un bundling did not work. we were a competitor on the verge in the 1990's of getting into the phone area. somebody could come along and by government-regulated services from the incumbent. we live in the failure of a regulatory regime. were it to go way for the reasons i mentioned, that would cause me to rethink my position. >> a quick fall on that -- -- a quick follow-up on that -- maybe there will be the kind of market dominance. >> i want to see those applications come forward the interesting thing about the dynamics between band with and applications, the improvements don't just come on the band with cyprus they also come in the more application -- efficient -- than with side, they also come in the application side which is

another coming together, the occupation troops, small number, 6500 of them in berlin were high-school kids. we mobilize the real army and one of them is corky, he owns a liquor store in denver who lied about his age. he was 17 years old, came to one of the bases where we were working out of, flying in 277,000 flights to berlin and he had to oversee a german crew of 50 people two of whom had been squadron leaders and one of whom had been a submarine captain. he did the only thing he could think of which was teach them to speak some english. by the second day when the officer of the day came by where they were working, with german workers were lined up and corky said good morning, major, son of a bitch. [laughter] >> do you want to take it up there? >> i don't think that is fair. i think i would like to give philip the opportunity now. let me say a few things. i mentioned already the first draft of this book was pretty raw and i would advise against trying to publish it because it was so personal and wasn't a very good history but the question that began to -- i set it aside for three four years and said

high expectations are unrealistic. it will take us years before we can address the concerns because it requires consolidation, reorganization of various attitudes like the civil servant and the mobilizationresources. >> rose: that's incredible, isn't it? >> amazing. it's lovely to see him so vital and so strong. >> rose: we'll talk again a little bit later. he was a different man between the man who came to prison and the man who was released from prison. >> that man who went prison was by his own admission and that of his friends and colleagues pag gnat, tempestuous, lacking in self-control he would get in fights with people, push people off of podiums. he was hot headed. that's not the nelson mandela we just watched. that's not the nelson mandela that came out of prison 27 years later. so what happened? how did that man become the man we knew? i used to ask him this all the time. he used to get very frustrated when i asked him. he's not classically introspective and he would rebuff me and finally one day he said to me in frustration "i came out mature." and it was such a simple thing to say but, again, you know, as mandela would say, a mature man is one of the rarest things in the worl

another coming together with the occupation troops, a small number were high school kids. we had to mobilized the real army had gone. when of them who now owns a liquor store in denver lied about his age. he was 17 years old, came to one of the bases where we were working out of flying 277,000 flights to berlin and he had to oversee of a german crew of 15 people come to a boom were leaders and one of them was a submarine captain. he was a lot of these people but it's the only thing he could think of which was to teach them to speak some english so by the second day when the officer of the day the nature came by, the german workers were all lined up 1q and said good morning major you son of a bitch. [laughter] >> richard reeves to pick it up there geoffrey robinson? but. >> that is not fair. [laughter] i would like to give philippe the opportunity. i mentioned and already my first draft was pretty rot and i was advised to try a to publish later because it was so personal and it was a very good history but the question that began to emerge. i said it aside and just thought forget it. it is just

high risk, ever changing transit environment, the dogs have advantages over machines even though they can only work for about 90 minutes at a stretch. >> there is nothing like a dog as far as mobilityckly it can detect explosives and take us to the source of it and the cost is basically less than any type of technology out there. >> amazing. >> it really is. >> to see them go right up to it. >> how many times you have seen a dog sitting there and they're going -- and you never actually considered that it is sampling the air. >> exactly. pretty cool. and so cute. 30 minutes past the hour. time for our top stories. the white house says china is agreeing to work on new sanctions against iran. president obama meeting privately with china's president hu jintao yesterday on the sidelines of the nuclear summit taking place in washington. >>> recovery crews in west virginia removed the last of the bodies from the upper big branch mine in west virginia. 29 men died last week in the worst mining zast they are country has seen in 40 years. federal investigators were waiting for all of the bodies to be recovered before heading underground to begin their investigation. >>> and coco moving to ca
