our colleagues peter greste, mohamed fadel fahmy and baher mohamed were arrested on december 29th, 2013. all three were falsely aexcused and convicted of aiding the outlawed muslim brotherhood, and damaging egypt's reputation abroad. stephanie dekker reports >>> the detaining of three al jazeera staff in cairo on december 29th of last year was assumed to be short-termed. as time passed it became clear that the egyptian authorities under the government of general abdul fatah al-sisi seemed to have other intentions. peter greste is a veteran correspondent, based in kenya at the time of his arrest. by his own administration knew little about egypt. he was shocked at the idea that he was linked in some way to what the government in cairo described as terrorists. the same could be said about the rest of the team, award winning journalist and producer baher mohamed. the # freeaj-staff went viral and journalists came out with support. the trial failed to come up with anything against the three me that vaguely could be said to implicate them. a video from a different channel was shown as eviden

how do you get that escape velocity, as mohamed el-erian put it? haveto invest an infrastructure program that will play out over the next several years because that is because we need to grow the economy for the future and create higher wage jobs in the process. trainingeed better programs so that we can equip people to handle higher wage jobs, but we are in a very competitive world economy, and it is not very surprising that wages are lagging, even as jobs go up. >> let me just -- you mentioned the infrastructure investment. that was part of what the president spoke about at the business roundtable. for our viewers, i want to play part of what the president said about infrastructure. >> infrastructure is one area where we need to go ahead and make significant investments. it makes no sense for us to have a first-class economy, but second-class infrastructure, and that would only -- not only help accelerate growth right now, but also lay the foundation for growth in the future. >> so, alice rivlin, this should be a bipartisan issue, but it is not.
