and we will eventually catch those moments because i know adam wants to get to those moments. but i want to begin at the beginning of adam spoke by asking about december 1860. abraham lincoln a 10 alleged that the president. i think it is fair to say a few southern politicians are pretty grumpy about this outcome. i see a few south carolinians are more than grumpy. they are enraged by his neocon. and you introduced as to the relatively unknown, at least unique, and unheralded man, nature by bert andrus and who has been given command of the federal garrison at fort moultrie, also when harbor. in particular, help us understand what is going on in anderson's mind as he is giving the command of what might be a hopeless task. >> guest: well, i do want to thank you for your introduction and also the part about being young. i've gotten us a couple times. it just sort of thought, only in the context of civil war historians to someone who is 40 years old get to be called this kid all the time. anyway, as a kid. but anyhow, i am glad you brought up this character of robert andersen beca

this is an incredible moment. the idea of a hosni mubarak trial, this really marks a new moment in arab history, seeing him there standing trial for murder and corruption charges and being held in a cage. mohammed jom joon joins us right now. what will be the reaction in eye row. >> reporter: shock and utter disbelief for the people we're speaking with. they just can't believe that former president mubarak is actually in that krool, he's there with his two sons. we've seen the leader on state tv. he came in on a stretcher with an id, apparently with an oxygen mask on as well. we can't understand how historic this is. it's a moment that most egyptians we spoke with the last few days just didn't believe would be possible. they thought up until a last second it would be postponed whether because of ramadan or his health. yes, zain. >> the court is starting its proceedings. let's take a moment and listen. >> translator: as the responsibility of the presiding judge and whoever breaks the rules, it is the right of the p

is it pretty much guesswork at the moment? >> i think it pretty much is guesswork in terms of the outlook and the french economy. you've got to factor that in. that will mean that france's debt burden will go up because they'll have to tribet to that. now, they're talking about increasing the efforts by about 2 trillion euros to make it viable. but obviously france is going to have to contribute toward that that means it will have to take much more austerity measures. if it can't do that, then the burden then falls on germany and as such because investors are nervous about that and the uncertainty in europe, they're staying clear of the next domino. it's moved from italy. now it's on to france which is obviously what president sar koci is looking to make really severe deficit reductions. >> i just want to ask you your view on the political will in europe at the moment. everybody seems to be uk taing about the lack of leadership on on both sides of the atlantic. do you have hopes that these generations we're seeing in the marke

, and very nice moment to watch it live and witness live as well.ery much, jessica yellin. >> thanks. >>> and you heard the anger of the democrats and strong worlds to describe the republicans and the negotiating tactics, but some say that their leadership didn't go far enough. republican joe walsh is one of them who voted against the deal, and he joins me now. good evening, sir. >> how are you? >> great. and before i ask you about your vote, what do you say about the democrats who compared some republicans to terrorists and say that ta republicans held the country hostage? >> again, fairly outrageous, and you know, we see often the media goes after republicans and right wing folks when they use this language. the other side does it as well, and they need to be called to the carpet. that is not at all appropriate, but look, enough with the name calling, and we are all big boys and girls and doing serious work up here. we should focus on what we have done today and what we need to do. >> and listen, i don't want to get our eyes off of the ball here,

we only have a few moments. i am hoping that david reair this is program over and over again because i know that god has spoken to so many. when you call tell them "i'm one of the 3,000." i want to emphasize it it's very important that you name this seed a miracle break-through seed. naming it gives your faith a photograph. god requires a photograph. your faith requires a photograph of something you'll do, have or become. he'll give you a photograph so you'll have something to believe for, and god told me to tell you that when you name this seed, a miracle break-through that he's going to give you a break-through in your finances, in your business. real estate miracles are going to happen. there are real estate miracles that are happening. you know, even in a down economy in the real estate, there's somebody buying. there's somebody selling. in order for somebody to make money, somebody has to lose money. and why not be on the winning side. i believe when you obey god, you come back to the principles of the bibl

what is that moment? >> well, i think he's waiting for more ground troops, we hear these reports, we hear rebel spokesmen, but obviously, information is extraordinarily incomplete and i think it's always a mistake to put the president out there before he's got more certainty in what he can say and i certainly hope one thing he says is that he hopes that the rebels don't engage in the kind of abuses of human rights that he he was afraid of when he agreed to the n.a.t.o. intervention five months ago, when gaddafi's troops were at the edge of benghazi and threatening blood bath there. the last thing we need is for these rebels who we've supported militarily otherwise to engage in precisely that kind of massive human rights violation. >> now, this is quite different from what we saw in egypt. i remember a day not too long ago when hosni mubarak, the president there was kicked out and we saw another square that looked like the pictures. there's a difference between the countries and what are some of the nuance

>> >> reporter: well, i thought it was a moment. he created a moment. and i think it was in his quiver, going into that night, to create that moment. and to his credit, he took the ball and ran with it. i will say that the question we talked about was legitimate. if you're going to be the leader of the free world, if you're going to be the leader of this country, being able to run the country, a question about being able to run your campaign is a legitimate question. and while he created a moment, and i think he had a good debate performance, the criticism of the question, i'm not sure was that justified. bill: in these event, invariably, every time you're going to take heat from someone, because they don't believe that they were given a fair shake. that was the case with rick santorum last night with sean hannity. they were in the press pit, he was talking to everybody, and here's what santorum had to say about his performance. >> last night, i said that i would get tougher questions from animos at a town meeting than i would from bret baier, which i w

of the moment?> i think there is going to be a big fight. >> tell us what happened yesterday. we understand that the rebels came into the capital. did that also happen in your suburb? >> about 90% is under control right now. the gaddafi soldiers are trying to, you know, [unintelligible] >> you said that you heard gunfire. have you heard any air strikes taking place? >> i heard a lot of bomb attacks, yes. >> describe what happens when you heard those. >> it is scary. yes, it is scary. all of the people are scared. >> are you worried about what is going to happen? >> the people are worried, yes. we are not sure yet. gaddafi is down, but we do not know yet. >> what are you going to do? are you planning on taking part in any of the rebel advances? >> yes, of course. all the people in my area, they have a lot of guns. we have to defend ourselves. >> we appreciate you joining us. thank you for that. we can bid for analysis with the director of global security. listening to that, george, gaddafi's men -- w

we'll be back in just a moment. >>> welcome back. you're watching "world business today" live on cnn. >> let's update you on the global weather forecast. storms will be popping up today through parts of china and also through parts of europe. different storms of course, meteorologist jennifer del gado will let us know how it will affect business travelers. >> weather across the uk not looking so bad. parts of eastern europe storms popping up and could cause travel delays. as we look at the satellite imagery you can see a good portion of europe down towards the south looking good as well as the western area. it's this area of low pressure right here that's going to be triggering storms and storm toward the west we'll get to that in a second. let's talk about for today anywhere you're seeing in red, talking for areas including the ukraine as well as romania, bulgaria dealing with storms and the frontal system and the area of low pressure moving toward the east, stormy conditions over parts of russia but at the same time wet weather is

[laughter] >> an interesting moment. another slavery question is it in 1862 before the mets' application and proclamation signed a treaty with break-in to suppress the effort 10 slave train. they agreed and this was taken as a straw in the wind that emancipation was coming. although the slave train was illegal in britain and the united states we were forced >> the first time that had happen to then he signed a treaty with the precious and diaz day and a at. >> how did that swimsuit dominate? >> i don't think it was that capitalizing but if the nasdaq four smb gives a day wage and they deserve with one of my favorite move months is coats to the iraq us a a anna. . . in his book, "1861: the civil war awakening" adam goodheart writes about what led to the war that began 150 years ago this past april. he was at the national constitution center in philadelphia for little more than an hour.

at the moment it is not a reality. for debt. in order to have an international reserve currency you need to have deep and liquid financial markets and the only country. the only currency that can offer death on the world for the world as a whole is the u.s. dollar i really understand the chinese frustration with. the value of their dollar holdings but. the throwing away if i may put it that way of the dollar as the international reserve currency is not for today not for tomorrow and not for the short run. over to editor in chief of trans magazine reading business magazine with us on the line thanks for your analysis. party business is keeping a close watch on the world's markets don't need to be standing by how our russian starts responding to volatility well before. the u.s. markets expectedly the dow jones down two hundred points or around one point eight percent the russian markets are continuing to fall stocks red all across the board is down three point nine percent the r.t.s. five point nine percent i have more of that jus

>> i can imagine the moment is much harder to contemplate that moment because of premature reasons. like ill health that he has unfortunately had to suffer. it was all done with so much grace and so much dignity. and i felt, really coming together, supporting him during that moment. >> let's take a short break. when we come back, we'll talk about your family. what it was like for you when you first came to america and how it is all going aol. i suspect very well for you. [ male announcer ] life is full of missed opportunities. like the leap of faith you never took. but there's one opportunity that's too good to miss. the lexus golden opportunity sales event. see your lexus dealer. whether it can be done safely and responsibly. at exxonmobil we know the answer is yes. when we design any well, the groundwater's protected by multiple layers of steel and cement. most wells are over a mile and a half deep so there's a tremendous amount of protective rock between the fracking operation and the groundwater. natural gas is critical to our future. at exxonmobil we recognize the challenges an

it's an extraordinary moment.his is about two years before what we think of as the beginning of black americans serving in the union army, of course, the famous glory resident, the 54th massachusetts. to me, it's this moment that emancipation really begins. it's not something lincoln sat down and decreed with a sheet of paper. i close that chapter with a story that i love that has not been told very much, and it's of the day that the emancipation proclamation is finally issued, and william seward, many of you read "team of rivals" and then you know william seward was the craftiest member of the administration. he was walking across the square in washington, the emancipation just proclaimed, runs into a union officer and stops him and says congratulations on this great historic act that the administration proclaimed today, and seward snorts and says, great historic agent? what are you talking about? the emancipation proclamation. he says emancipation was proclaimed in the first gunfired and we have been the last to

>> i can imagine the moment is much harder to contemplate that moment because of premature reasons.e ill health that he has unfortunately had to suffer. it was all done with so much grace and so much dignity. and i felt, really coming together, supporting him during that moment. >> let's take a short break. when we come back, we'll talk about your family. what it was like for you when you first came to america and how it is all going aol. i suspect very well for you. met an old man at the top asked him if he had a secret and the old man stopped and thought and said: free 'cause that's how it ought to be my brother credit 'cause you'll need a loan for one thing or another score 'cause they break it down to one simple number that you can use dot to take a break because the name is kinda long com in honor of the internet that it's on put it all together at the end of the song it gives you freecreditscore-dot-com, and i'm gone... offer applies with enrollment in freecreditscore.com okay, so who ordered the cereal that can help lower cholesterol and who ordered the yummy cereal? yummy. t

hold on a moment. hold on a moment. hold on a moment. you know what?you speak in a moment. >> you came here to listen to them. >> i came here to speak. hold on a second. hold on and i will let you speak. hold on a second. hold on a second. you lying. >> let him talk. go ahead. go ahead. >>neil: i know that is what everyone is focused on, right? i was focused on something the governor was saying a little bit earlier? >> you support scrapping the social security payroll tax for the rich people pay their fair share into the trust fund. you know it's become a very popular, the question was, do i support raising the cap on social security taxes so the rich people pay their fair share? there was a time in this country we didn't celebrate attacking people based on their success. and when we didn't go after people because they were successful. and i happen to thin, i watched this president go across the country attacking people and if you want to speak, can you speak, but right now it is my town. so let me continue, and that is this: the streets in america are

this is how we're looking at the moment.ems though broadly speaking we're seeing a little bit of upward momentum on the futures, but we should mention that some of these markets have already paired their gains and this is already a number of hours before trading. nasdaq falling further into the red on the futures down to the eun of nearly 0.5%. the dow jones industrial average still pairing down. pretty modest at the moment. >> let's take a look at what happened. carter evans was at the new york stock exchange. >> it ended solidly to the upside. against ongoing worries about the global economic worries. at the close the dow jumped to 11320. bank of america shares leading the way there after their recent selloff, rise 1g 1%. the nasdaq adding almost 1% and the s&p 500 gaining 1.31%. durable goods ordersed jurpd 4% in july. that's better than wall street expected. it comes almost after a 1.5% tumble in june. it's the big ticket items that are meant to last three years or many, cars, trucks, refrigerators, appliances, airplanes

eurozone economies and that is why the investors in the markets are panicking the moment the leaders of france spain and germany are holding an emergency teleconference to try and stop the open relative to coming out the top you have prime minister silvio berlusconi and his finance minister openly disagreeing on this solution solutions to the crisis and the e.u. president jose manuel barroso slammed on discipline communication by e.u. leaders for making the crisis worse and germany is furious at such an open a tank this time when it's already critical as in europe we've seen america really suffering and raising the debt ceiling doesn't tackle the key problem which is making the problem worse giving them more debt and that their economy is weak because they know the your the u.s. have really started to tackle that key issue yesterday was the wall street worst day in years there was steep slumps in the share price and there are now fears that america will go back into recession which would strongly hit not just america but the whole world economy and the u.s. and europe politicians kee

it's not the politicians at fault and not giving people the confidence they need at the moment. you know the politicians the politicians have done everything they could in order to make people disbelieve i mean the discussion about the debt ceiling in united states that went on for ages and all of us for weeks has destroyed the credibility united states and everybody knows also my grandmother but the problem the united states is not solved when they. put up the debt ceiling so everybody knows that we are in a big mess that we have right just briefly are no solutions ok just briefly no solution big problem you really are giving a very depressing picture what does that mean for the average person in the street you and me what does actually mean to our lives we are in unchristian ended waters and we have to admit this we have to look for real solutions we must we must see we must admit that this system as we know it is not longer working we have only we are only solving the symptoms we're not going to the real cause what is what so what i can in terms of advise give to everybody is

by those rebels if that's the case we could be witnessing the last moments of gadhafi regime. well yes or no gaddafi is very erratic in his behavior in this very difficult to say what will he do i mean his son and the television yesterday said no no by far the still here and we are fighting and he's not the man to run away like the other dictators did but on the other hand side i'm quite sure that he must have an emergency exit from his bunker system and can escape if he still should be there it might also be you know unfortunately as we see the truth is the first victim of any war so nobody knows what is true in all the different than outs but nevertheless if you did escape from that bunker how long could it be actually on the run bearing in mind you wouldn't be able to take a plane because there's a no fly zone imposed over the country there are his chances of perhaps setting up camp somewhere else. well it's very difficult to know i don't think that will take him to tunisia and definitely not maybe he might go to the south to tunisia or of the other countries bordering and

so we're at a moment, we don't know where we're going to go. >> is there any moment, beverly gage, thatou could compare this to, or does it just stand out on its own? >> well, one of the things that's so interesting about this moment is usually when you have these kinds of big showdowns, particularly between the white house and the congress, particularly when you have the white house of one party, at least part of congress dominated by the other party, it's around some grand legislative initiative. so you think of woodrow wilson's showdown over the league of nations in 1919 and 1920 or maybe franklin roosevelt's showdown over his court packing plan in 1937. but in both of those cases, you had a white house that was putting forth something really bold, something adventurous, something untried, and then running into opposition. and what's really remarkable about this moment, and i think fairly hard to find a precedent for is that this wasn't actually about anything new. this was about a set of decisions that had already been made about how money was going to be spent, raise the debt ceili

>> well, boy, it's an emotional moment and a lot led up to it. lot of folks said what would it feel like? what's it going to be like when it's other and i said i'll let you know when it's over. >> stephen: wow. >> and when it was all over, it was an emotional moment. it was you have to for us to get out of the orbiter knowing that there would be nobody else to follow in our footsteps in a space shuttle. on that. >> stephen: on that last mission did any of you, knowing that you were the last space shuttle astronauts to go up, did you have any sense of, like, seniorites? (laughter) you know, like checklist be damned. i'm going to float whole time and bite water out of the air. (laughter) any of that, did you phone it? >> we should have thought of that. >> stephen: well, you've blown it now. >> i know. >> stephen: how long did we have the shut? >> 30 years and a few months. >> stephen: and what is waiting to replace it? >> instead of having a nasa sponsor the space business we'll probably have the equivalent of a commercial space line. and in the me

colonel gadhafi used to make speeches to the nation exactly where he is no one seems to know at the moment smoke has been rising over the libyan capital throughout tuesday as a result of pockets of placing a tree in the two sites and casualties are said to be ninety. the electricity in tripoli has been restored after i was. well of a blackout. well for more insight on the developments in libya let's cross live now to lindsey german she's an activist from the start coalition joining us live in london thanks very much indeed for being with us while western leaders have already started planning a post gadhafi libya despite the fact the opposition hasn't won yet but is the rebels potential victory a done deal now do you think i mean justifying the actions of nato well i think it looks as though. the regime is finished we've been saying this for a couple of days that failing to sidestep now i don't think that's a tool justifies the actions of nato nato has been involved in a lengthy. killed thousands of people now in libya on the grounds that they were protecting civilians actually they were th

has picked up this global trend give us more details as to what's going on at the moment. as you mentioned things are heading south of the in the first minute of trading the dow opened down more than two hundred points within an hour it was down more than three point two percent now that number is going up and down and changing but clearly it indicates a climate of uncertainty this climate of uncertainty isn't just here in the u.s. but it is all over the world and of course this is this comes after the us and poor's downgraded the u.s. credit from aaa to friday evening this is the first time in history the country of the world's largest economy was kicked out of this triple a club and to sum it up he says sooner or says the u.s. government needs to get its fiscal house in order following all the drama surrounding the debt deal the credit agency believes that enough has not been done by u.s. lawmakers to to balance its books in addition to all of the political posturing all of the bickering all of the back and forth mudslinging hurt the overall confidence in the u.s. econom

at the moment. and of course we'll keep you up to date with the developments in libya with all the information as we get.

>> i can imagine the moment is much harder to contemplate that moment because of premature reasons. like ill health that he has unfortunately had to suffer. it was all done with so much grace and so much dignity. and i felt, really coming together, supporting him during that moment. >> let's take a short break. when we come back, we'll talk about your family. what it was like for you when you first came to america and how it is all going aol. i suspect very well for you.

[ bat cracks ] that's a hit. one a day men's. >>> i have to say i agree with arianna. i think it is actually quite harmful. >> when did you say that? >> i just did. >> oh, good mo

>> yes. >> there were moments just -- i always remember the moment when you traced, i think, your grandmother and you just stood where she had been wiped out by the nazis with hundreds of other jews. >> right. >> and it is a heartbreaking moment for you but astonishingly powerful to watch you reliving your family's horrific time at the hands of the nazis. how did making that program change you, do you think? >> well, i think in a few ways. i mean, one of the things is that, you know, i've always been very much a realist. and not actually an optimist. because i knew about the holocaust since i was probably too young to know about it. and it really did shade how i saw the world. there are atrocities and that's what's always happened, always will happen. if anything nice happens, that's a real bonus. so i've always had that kind of dark view of the world. and when i saw that that relative, that my father's first cousin, who everyone was certain was dead, that he was actually alive, it was like a miracle to me. and that really gave me hope. i have to say. it might sound a little cliche' but it's

try and reassure people saying that it will boil it down spanish which no one wants to touch the moment. of germany's poti by saying that she wouldn't increase the e.u. bailout fund suggesting that if spain if their economy goes on that she and germany europe's largest economy won't instead mcaleese piling the pressure on those states for even more pain from the measures that it's in these prime minister silvio berlusconi says hugh bring forward the savage government spending cuts he needs and the boy a year now it's already furious thing bill oppose those measures so there are talk of a national strike committee at the moment obviously. the big g. seven g. twenty groups of leading economies have held an emergency conference call to say that they've got the situation on the control but investors are voting with the feeds here in europe and they say they just don't trust them the fact that's america's in panic off the moving its aaa credit rating and it's time for investors at the moment. well asian markets have closed in the red following a rocky trading session. has more from a third l

it was a great moment. when the green light went up on the screen on the wall next to her name it was a highly emotional moment for us. where it was. yes. in green, giffords. that's her last name, as you know. as i've said to the pages who were there, you will witness a great deal of history, nothing, nothing like what is happening today when a person so respected, so courageous came back here because she wanted to save our economy, because she knew we were going to default woog -- because she knew going to default would be harmful. >> one of your lines is protecting -- [inaudible]. when you make your appointments for this new committee is that going to be something you require them -- is that going to be something that you send them to the committee to do? >> let me thank you for acknowledging that one of the fights that we were successful in, as mr. israel mentioned, our chairman israel, mentioned was that we did protect the benefits, the social security, medicare and medicaid benefits. that is a priority

is more at risk at the moment therefore the euro currency is more at risk at the moment in our view and to the b.c.b. has been the question for many investors given the these safety fund that the european union has close to five hundred billion euros against a potential trouble italian debt near two trillion. euros and given that people are about obviously asking for potential lending of last resort which could be the federal reserve there are still the federal reserve the u.s. treasury says the ultimate so you have an altimeter to find a lender in this mark in this market environment at least get more of a final question for you how you are inching money for as well as long as as the market requires and you only downside risk from just printing money is clearly a potential inflationary pressure on the market. more than how long do you think it will take before the turbulence will settle down. i think we will have to see some positive indicators of. the growth coming out of the united states in the second pop here to be confident that we're not in a double dip recession historically the

to find a long term solution to the problems in greece portugal and ireland at the moment investors are wary of the lack of growth and competitiveness in the italian economy but that itself is not enough to explain the massive increase in yields that we're seeing so i think it really comes down to finding a long term solution to the rest of the eurozone crisis which will involve some for debt restructuring because there's no other way to return these countries to solvency and then some really strong reforms to compressing this members and there's so many real members of the eurozone have got to be co-operative they've got to help each other now we're hearing that deutsche bank has reduced italian bond holdings severely cutting its exposure in the country is that not no a sign that the big banks are rushing to cover themselves here. but i think it does show a side of the investor panic and they're looking to reduce their exposure all around the euro zone and i think with them facing losses from private sector participation in the greek bailout there will be other banks following suit

it was this moment of being united instead of bitter and fighting. i think people did step away from that, too. it is not exactly a permanent cure to this kind of conflict we've got. but at that moment, for that day, i think there was some happiness to see her, not only just live because it's a miracle she survived but also reaching the medical level that she has. >> so people that don't know your story, you were working for abc, and you went to iraq and were embedded with american soldiers and what happened next? >> well, we were on the road in january of 2006. believe it or not five and a half years ago. we are aging faster than we thought we would, piers, but we were outside of taji with the u.s. and iraqi military and suddenly there was an ied exploded about 20 yards to my left. my cameraman doug vote, was on top of the vehicle with me. instantly knocked out, unconscious an it wasn't until 36 days later got back to the bethesda naval in new york where i finally woke up and was able to start to remember somewhat of what happened to us out there. >
