it was guest edited by mohamed, but is the fault on the shoulders of the magazine itself? do you see how i use my tone to demonstrate disgust? it is called broadcast journalism. they chastised the irreverent weekly. they said, quote, not only are such things childish, they beg for the very violent responses from extremists their authors defy in the name of the common. -- the common good. freedom to have a good laugh is as important as freedom of speech. let's look at the de spix of the -- the depiction of the prophet now. >> i don't know if i got it. it is scary. i am so scared. >> ninja squirrel versus stoner. >> charles i know he condemned the violence, but come on, right? isn't he blaming the victim here? >> it is like saying a woman wearing a short skirt, it is mind boggling other than the fact that it is from "time" magazine. >> jedediah why do i feel like if it was religion or christianity involved here he wouldn't have said what he said. >> you can get away with anything with christianity. you can use a sense of humor and even in art museums you can put anything aro

he was best known as the rival of mohammed ali in and out of the ring.bc's lester holt remembers frazier's life. >> reporter: he was one of the most feared and respected heavyweights of his or any era. born and raised in south carolina, joe frazier won a gold meddle in the '64 olympics. in 1970 smoke injoe became the undisputed heavyweight champion of the world and the first to beat mohammed ali knocking him down in the historic fight of the century in madison square garden in 1971. that was the first of three epic battles between frazier and ali. ali would beat smokin' joe in a rematch three years later. the 14-round fight known as the thriller in manila. ali defeated frazier when the fight was stopped by the referee. after that battle frazier would step into the ring only two more times, but would never recapture his heavyweight title. bitter for many years about the way ali treated him, traysier had only recently forgiven ali for his brutal taunts over the years. in the end smokin' joe finished his professional boxing career with 32 wins, four losses

jobs report, mohamed el-erian. he's the c.e.o. of pimco. >> thank you, susie. >> susie: so this vote in greece still has not begun but whichever way it goes, mohammed, does it matter for us here in the u.s.? >> we per se doesn't-- ° per se doesn't but what matter is the well-being of europe. and° is undermining that. think of an infection in your toe, if you leave ton treated, if you don't diagnose it properly, next thing you know your leg sin effected, next thing you know your vital organs are infected. and right now greece has threatened italy, has threatened the banks. so greece, per se no, but it's threatening the well-being of europe as a whole. >> you know, every step of the way during this european financial crisis you have been disappointed of the way that european officials have been handling it. what would you like to see happen. >> the mind-set, the realization that this is about solvency and liquidity. that this is about structural change and not cyclical change. for some reason the europeans are having tremendous diff

then there was the controversy over shake mohammed, khalid sheikh mohammed. wanted to stop the waterboarding at that point. >> no. i wanted to bring khalid sheikh mohammed to guantanamo out of the shadows. tell the people we had the mastermind of 9/11. the united states doesn't disappear people. >> bill: he didn't want that. he wanted to could it secretly. he thought i would get more al qaedas. >> khalid sheikh mohammed was past his intelligence value we were told. >> bill: why didn't cheney in your opinion when you in this difference of opinion i'm sure you listened to his point of view? >> did i, of course. >> bill: why didn't he want a public exposition of what mohammed had done and what he was doing. >> i don't know. >> he never told you. >> his view was once you started down that road you would begin to unravel the entire operation. we still had some of these people that we needed for intelligence value. but my point to him and the president ultimately agreed is that we had done nothing to be ashamed of. >> bill: he didn't want any exposition of what the

mohammed is a 36-year-old father of three. his brother told us they'd been protesting together. >> navai: because of the delay, mohammed's brain was starved of oxygen, causing brain damage. nearby, in another secret location, i met a 19-year-old student shot in the leg while protesting days earlier. do you feel safe here? >> navai: i traveled to the countryside to meet some soldiers who had defected from the army. about 70% of the syrian army is made up of men who have been drafted. the opposition claims thousands of them are deserting. i met with four of the soldiers who are now on the run. he was stationed in rif, damascus, the suburbs of damascus. these two were stationed in deraa in the south, and he was stationed in tartous, which is on the coast in the north. the men claimed they had deserted because they were forced to fire on protesters. what were your orders? >> navai: this man said he'd seen other soldiers killed for disobeying orders. >> navai: these soldiers, whose stories can't be independently verified, claim man

we asked mohamed el-erian, one of the most important financial minds, to tell us whether the oour zone is about to come apart. >>> why in the world can't north korean nurses and doctors come back from the middle east? it's a fascinating tale. >>> finally, back home, the former governor of michigan, jennifer granholm, tells us what her experience of cutting taxes and reducing spending taught her. all this coming up. >>> but first, here's my take. last week the international atomic energy agency issued its most serious warning about iran's nuclear program. it argued that iran seems to have experimented with various technologies that suggested it was trying to build not just a nuclear program but a nuclear weapons program. this finding, to be clear, is at odds with the views of the former head of the iaea, mohamed elbaradei, as well as the report issued a few years ago by the united states' national intelligence council. it's difficult, to be sure, what to make of these intelligence judgments because they are judgments that try to determine the intentions of the iranian regime. one thing

mohamed el baradei he is a familiar face to the west is recognized by the west he was the chairman of the i.a.e.a. he was somewhat independent of the united states but not really a severe challenge to the united states in the run up to the iraq war so of course i think he might be considered by the american government the best of the available options but the egyptian people want genuine democracy they don't want an interim government appointed by those who are really still the institutions of power from the mubarak. now it's time for you to get involved with us here and also you want to know what will you think about the unstable situation in egypt if you just simply head over to one web site r.t. dot com you can get involved in our latest poll here's how most of you have voting right now today we're asking how do you think the west should react to the latest bloodshed in egypt as you can see the numbers here so almost half of you say they should react with stony silence over a quarter think the west should should respond with a no fly zone and a bombing campaign twenty one percent b

there will be a similar for some extent concerns that mohammed but they would be the appropriate man in this actually. very crucial moment of egyptian control to see if it will have been a part of a if he did man the helm for the new egyptian government what would that actually mean for the future of egypt we saw the uprising nine months ago where mubarak was deposed now we've got a new flat set of four days of extreme riots and perhaps a second revolution going on if el baradei demands the helm what does that mean for the future. how we're going to this will be the last future over the long run. the appeal of the protesters either but at the or someone else whatever would be in the who would assume control this would be a government of salvation salvation government living i'm sure that anyone would directly the current. cabinet thought by the presumption of world to actually see the commitments from the government for from the first march and his tongue towel and his generals actually to authorize them and to monday them with full comprehensive authorities otherwise this would be s

the army here that has been looting this country since slavery to step down now a short time ago mohamed tantawi caved and liable to praise in which he tried to meet some of the protests just a month among the points he made is that it would be a presidential election peaceful cimon extrude he also said that he had accepted the resignation of his interim government but that they would remain in power until such time that a new government was up and running now mohamed el baradei who heads up the political party here and who's also before my head of the international atomic energy agency has indicated that he would be the face to become the next prime minister and be tossed with forming the next government but he says that this is only on condition that he is given absolute control over any decisions he has to make it seems as if this is the way the country's going to move forward and i think it's worth pointing out that all baradei is a much more popular figure on the international stage in fact before february seventh edition most people have actually not even heard of him apparently al

mohamed el baradei he is a familiar face to the west he is recognized by the west he was the chairman of the i.a.e.a. he was somewhat independent of the united states but not really a severe challenge to the united states in the run up to the iraq war so of course i think clancy might be considered by the american government the best to be available options but the egyptian people want to genuine democracy they don't want an interim government appointed by those who are really still be institutions of power from the mubarak. now we're going back to our correspondent there hope she hears this poem can you hear me. well yes we were talking about protesters and in fact the question to ask before how far are they willing to go i mean it's been the six day they're protesting there in the square. well here in tampa square there are several hundred so-called diehards who remained overnight there simply going nowhere may reflect the general mood and sentiment of tens of thousands of people many of those people have gone home but no doubt they will return later in the day now the protesters wh

presidential contenders says he's ready to drop his candidacy and lead a unity government instead mohamed el baradei is announcement comes after he met political groups which see a coalition cabinet as the only way forward but as artie's policy reports from cairo the worry is that it could cause even more confrontation within egypt. the situation doesn't maintain now we've had an announcement by some sixteen is just a little truth to say that they have there is such a story of what they are calling a civil salvation government fake names mohamed el baradei is a presidential candidate and it was also a name that was being bandied about earlier in the week as a possible person the army might approach to be the prime minister as the head of this new government and there are high profile names that have been named as his deputies a leading position leading economists and leading politicians so you not have the most bizarre situation where you have a government that has been the case series here while there's another government that has been declared by the army and it is worthwhile noting tha

now there was seeing much the same scenes we saw yesterday tuesday and this just by the promise by mohammed khatami the head of the supreme council of armed forces that he would accept the resignation of his government the clashes are seen ambulances carrying the injured fortune back which you can hear behind me the kind of chaos and mayhem that is erupting here the doctors are reporting that they simply cannot cope with the number of injured people there are makeshift clinics throughout tuffy is where we are receiving particularly worrying reports that the security personnel have been using a new kind of tear gas that is particularly lethal human rights groups are bringing attention to it the doctors are saying that they see new kinds of injuries and protesters arriving here today are bringing with them bottles of water mixed with stomach medicine to try and we try as the effect of that tear gas i continued that i was able to some of it yesterday and for a few moments you simply cannot see anything and you can lift splattering and gasping for air places because we have in terms of dead and

have to carry time to spread what they are calling a civil salvation the government they've named mohamed el baradei is a presidential candidate who is also a name that was being bandied about earlier in the week as a possible person the army might approach to be the prime minister as the head of this new government and they are high profile names that have been named as his deputies a leading physician and economist a meeting politician so you not have this is the most bizarre situation where you have a government that has been to cape fear itself here while there's another government that has been declared by the army and it is worthwhile noting that the muslim brotherhood does not support mohamed el baradei in any way all of this is painting the scenario for growing internal why haven't we that can only lead to more and waste the one thing that is happening against the backdrop of this political posturing is that the violence continues to climb just this morning saturday feast one person was killed another four people were injured when protesters try to stop or come i'll go on a story

joe did not like mohammed ali. >> they were real opponents. >> war of words. war in the rings. listen to this, a quote ali gafshgs if god ever calls me to a holy war, i want joe frazier fighting beside me. >> a mutual respect. >> they liked each other. >> made peace. two legend for sure. >>> a scandal shaking up the u.s. army, the military police officer is charged with attempted espionage. he attempted to pass along national defense information to a foreign nation. millay is 22 based in alaska. his lawyer says he is innocent. the army says no information compromised. growing pressure on coaching legend joe paterno over his handling of child sex charges at penn state. a top police gator is questioning whether paterno had a moral responsibility to do more to stop alleged abuse. documents show that paterno was told about one instance of sex abuse but he did not call police instead referring it to school officials who stand accused of covering it up. the two officials have stepped down and been charged. meanwhile paterno is expected to speak at a news conference late tire day. >>

basically the french magazine was going to publish a cover with the prophet mohammed showing him beardedhe headline was going to be "100 lashes if you're not dieing of laughter." this issue is supposed to be a commentary, satirically making fun of islamic law. one of the executives of this magazine who said the people who did this were just plain dumb, they don't know what the content of the actual magazine is. this comes down to the whole debate that is happening between freedom of expression and journalism versus religious sensitivities and small extremist groups that interpret the whole idea of showing something like an image of prophet mohammed on a magazine cover and being mocked as just not okay. so this is something that we've seen before. let's see what the fallout is of it. it definitely puts that front and center in this kind of debated and this kind of an atmosphere, too, where there's a lot of misunderstanding between the different groups in france. >> zain verjee live in london. thanks. >>> ford is already taking orders for its first plug-in passenger car. but it's the price

legendary boxer, joe frazier, best known for beating mohammed ali in the fight of the century died at 67. >> yeah, smokin' joe frazier lost his fight with liver cancer late last night in philadelphia. for more on the life of the heavyweight champion, here is espn's jeremy schad. >> what you going to say now? >> reporter: born in south carolina in 1944, joseph william frazier would gravitate to boxing as a teenager. stocky and powerful, he went to tokyo for the 1964 olympics and came home with the heavyweight gold medal. in 1967, when mohammed ali refused induction into the military, he was stripped of the title which became frazier's when he stopped buster mathis and jimmy ellis. in 1970, three years out of the game, ali was back and he set his sights on a showdown with frazier. the so-called main event, march 8, 1971, at madison square garden. the stage had been set for perhaps the most eagerly anticipated sport event ever. somehow the fight lived up to its billing. frazier withstood ali's onslaught and built momentum. grinding ali down. in the 15th round, frazier in the floral green

mohamed we have three authorities in the country the legal authority the legislative and executive but it is the security police who make the real decisions the court judge for their decision and i feel sorry for the judge because he is not independent. and good he believes this constant state of fear is thanks to decades of living under the emergency law in place since one thousand nine hundred sixty three in two thousand and eleven assad repealed it to appease and to regime protestors this man who's worked for the more but after twenty seven years sustained gunshot wounds in what he says was an ambush by a group of terrorists we asked him about people's fear of the mob but not accusations that they are behind the violence detentions and torture. this is the wrong idea we're protecting our people are the terrorists shoot civilians you shoot us and then. security forces are doing such things accusations that we. are also wrong if this person has political activity without any intention of harming the country and he is free to do this and no one will chase him if he has links with terro

they actually want to step down and interim government is pretty meaningless in that context now mohamed el baradei who heads up a political party here and who is also the former head of the international atomic energy agency has indicated that he would be prepared to become the next prime minister and be tasked with forming the next government but he says that this is only on condition that he is given absolute control over any decisions he has to make it seems as if this is the way the country's going to move forward and i think it's worth pointing out that our baradei is and much more popular figure on the international stage and happy fourth every seven issue most people have actually not even heard of him and already also has the support of the waste of the international community and that's something that most people here will take heed of because of course mubarak was criticized for his close ties with the united states so people here are saying that any kind of discourse any kind of discussion any kind of solutions being offered from the military are to be taken with suspicion be

he had a lot of charisma and a lot of energy. >> it's growing every day. >> but mohammed was shot dead as he was out filming. >> it's devastating. when i found out that he died, i just remember, one, i couldn't believe it. and then, to be gone, and his wife was pregnant at that time, it definitely took something out of me, i think. you know, it made me look at things a lot differently, because it represented the whole libyan revolution. it wasn't just his story, but his story embodied the whole population because of the young people that died that had so much to offer that were bright, that there was potential. and here, it was being destroyed, you know, and taken away. >> no one knows exactly how many libyans were taken away during the six-month conflict to oust muammar gaddafi, but abdullah lost both a friend and relative in what was a costly war. >> researchers are warning that taking slightly too many paracetamol per day, day after day, can lead to a fatal overdose. specialists at edinburgh university say they've seen more than 150 cases of what they're calling staggered overdose a
