here's a tiny little part of the former soviet union now known as moldova. one thing relevant to american security from the former soviet union is the uranium and plutonium left behind by the soviet's giant nuclear program when the soviet union fell apart. one thing u.s. officials do, u.s. government personnel do in the spy versus spy world we live in is try to track down the old soviet uranium and plutonium so it doesn't get sold to terrorists groups looking for a weapon or enough to make one on their own or enough highly radioactive material to explode a dirty bomb which is radioactive shrapnel and explosives. in moldova in june, police trained by authorities, identified a ring of people trying to sell 20 pounds of highly enriched uranium and some unknown amount of plutonium. the associated press reporting the asking price was about $30 million. the arranged buyer of at least a sample of the uranium was a north african man who has not yet been found. nor has one kilogram of highly enriched uranium that these authorities still think is out there and in crim

with over 100 miles of corridors, moldova has the largest wine cellar in the world, holding over 1.5 million bottles. some date back to the early '70s and cost more than 700 bucks. some are stored for special occasions. others just as national treasures. >>> navigating the streets of one small town in colorado got a little more complicated. that's because an art exhibit has taken over. a mile long row of over 500 empty chairs borrowed from local residents were lined up, called the chair project. the artist says it shows the potential of everyday items. residents are welcoming the idea, even hosting a parade in its honor. >>> and finally, it's not quite london bridges falling down, but a landmark is on the move. big ben is tilting. no need to panic, bill. the 0.26 degree lean is not visible to the naked eye. still there is concern over the long-term stability of the 152-year-old tower. at the rate it's going it would actually take 4,000 years for it to slant as far as the leaning tower of pisa. we wouldn't recommend canceling your ticket to london any time soon in fears it may fall on

putin was on his way to moldova to witness the signing of this. then the united states and europeans at the last minute kind of intervened and the mcgoverns -- moldovans decided they did not want to do it after all. it is not an issue people have focused on intensively in the united states or think about. the two russian authors and a number of other people i spoke to really felt that this was a development that had a major impact on then-president putin's thinking about what the united states was trying to do in the former soviet region. it contributed to disillusionment at that time with the united states. the wider implication of this is that we have a tendency in the united states to think about ourselves as the sole superpower. we do not always focus on the fact that some of the decisions we make can have a disproportionate impact on others compared to the level of priority for us. i am not saying that to endorse the kosack memorandum or that particular solution to the problem. it is something that bears thinking about. another thing i found

during the war he moldova this question of god's will.in the second inaugural it is almost like a sermon. lincoln was a very private man. he did not keep a diary, ride a lot of letters. the only way we can gauge his innermost thoughts as to his public statements and his actions. he did not have that deep religious personal sense of commitment that so many americans of his era and our own to. the fact that he could get elected president at that time shows you that we live in a different political world now. adult think we have yet to many candid it's a never joined a church and their whole life. thank you. over at this mike. do we have a question to mac. >> system we do. >> just. >> my question is what george washington's abuse of power. >> speak a little closer to the my. >> my question is george washington and his abuse of his presidential power in regards to slavery. >> george weston. >> george washington used slaves , and he used them in philadelphia even disregarding what abraham lincoln was trying to pursue their rig and just wonderi
