mountaintop is destroying and it is the mountain. they film parts of a film right up the storefront window. james earl jones was interviewed and i think he put it best. he says, mountain people are a different type of people, and their landscape makes them different types of people. they're not used to going anywhere the straight way. they have to be determined. to that, bonds adds, we have to keep working, keep fighting. that has become her mantra, keep fighting. it's something she whispers to herself in quiet moments, a guidepost she uses to shout down her doubts. looking out at whites vim, surveying its despair, she has no intention of turning back now. i'll be there every step of the way. thank you. [applause] >> and what a pleasure it is that i get to work with both of these great william on a regular basis and really honor them. next, we have -- and i just want to remind you that jason is going to be signing his books over at the carmichael book table, so if you want to go over there and purchase a book, jason will be glad to s

we can wipe out the demand for mountaintop removal in a heartbeat.so yes, i think conservation is an often underrated thing. or importantly, energy efficiency programs is where green jobs are going to be coming from because we need electricians, we need plumbers, when a former coal miners who know how to work with machinery. we need construction workers to go when and whether rights are housed and that's a very, very important thing. and that's what we're wondering because where art degree jobs. you know, van jones was kicked out of the white house. and so where's the great green jobs are now? west virginia got $6 million in clean energy stimulus fund. you know, that's just a drop in the bucket compared to the billions of dollars of coal subsidies. and so, let's put our money where mouth is instead this whole clean energy revolution. but it needs money, it needs investment. >> i just want to make one statement. our state legislature, not many non-names, but [inaudible] just been windmills on bar tops. when you look at the geological map, the most imp

it's the scene of a massive rescue effort tonight with 19 coal miners unaccounted for trapped in a mountaintop mine owned by the largest coal mining company in that part of the country. safety officials say the seven miners killed died in an explosion around 3:00 this afternoon while leaving the site in a vehicle. two other men with them were hurt. officials say they don't know yet what caused the blast. >> we really just came to pray because we don't have immediate family in the mines but we know so many people that work here. our pastor works at this mine actually from our church. he wasn't in the mine but he's here. we're just praying and all we can do right now as a community is come together and pray because if you're from here, we're all coal mining family. my dad was a miner. my grandpa a miner and my brother works in the mines, just not this one but it doesn't matter because we're family. so we're just praying for the families and for the miners. >> reporter: officials say there are two rescue chambers near the blast site and that if the trapped miners can reach them, they'll have enou

be very careful because usually what it means if somebody was given a job to go up on top of a mountaintopand count the number of people in which direction they're going. they're not doing anything more than just taking a traffic goal. >> we have one back there. >> do you have any specifics on the chemistry that was used in some of the hidden messages? it's more sophisticated than vinegar or lemon juice. and would they actually do have something else on the page that they could wash off? >> okay. one of the form is used is not chemically available today. the americans, the original supply came from sir james j. in london, who claims to have invented it. although it was, the formula was known by the british for 100 years before. so he probably may have taken a liberal license and claiming he invented it or he may have tweaked it a bit. the americans later on the setup, john jay, his brother, sets up a laboratory of around the skill, no, to manufacture the agent and we agent that are used. so once the laboratory is actually established, the americans have a plentiful supply. the potter at th

couple of miles by foot and they got really close, up above them a thousand feet above them on the mountaintop. the experts were checking the air to make sure there wasn't another explosion because everybody here knows in west virginia you have had cases where rescue teams days later have been the victims of second explosions. nobody wants that here. they check the air and it wasn't good anymore. they radioed down and everybody out and they had to go and they got so close that they hoped, jim, with pumping and drilling they will clean that air again, atmospheric pressure stabilized. methane should not be seeping as fast. once the air is clean, they will go back in and hopeful that they will go to the first rescue chamber and they will find one guy, two, three, or four alive. maybe we will know tonight. jim? >> time is ticking away. steve handelsman live for us. thank you. >>> another sad farewell today in the district. a funeral service was held today for one of the victims killed in that mass shooting in washington. 16-year-old brishell jones was the last victim laid to rest. dozens of family

if you stand on a mountaintop in northern israel and look north, you know exactly where israel is. it's where the green stops. and the brown imines. -- begins. why can't hundreds of millions of arabs do better? i believe the answer -- i mean, culture is fate, and their wounds are largely self-inflicted. they were not the victims of centuries of colonialism for the most part. we'll talk about that a bit more later. but how can they not be jealous of israel? jealousy is a profound human factor and you go to the broader world of anti-semitism, and really, we need a new word, because arabs are semitic people as well. anti-judaism, just anti- >> sentiment. humanity may or may not lead to god. i believe humanity does, but i can guarantee you that humankind needs a satan, someone to blame when the cows don't give milk, someone to blame for the epidemic. someone to blame for the bankruptcy. someone to blame for personal and collective failures. we need a satan. and throughout so much of history, what more convenient satan could there be than the jews. for so many centuries, powerless, what

everybody will change from rain to snow later today and basically in the highest mountaintops but downf here, skies begin to clear. let me take you live to washington, d.c. clouds and rain showers off and on around the region. today, clearing skies. temperatures back into the mid-60s. not a bad one. decent conditions for the next day or so. but that rain will hang around for the morning for new york city. here's what it looks like for the winter storm warnings. all the areas shaded in red. 6 to 12 inches of. highest elevations and that's also going to slide into vermont and new hampshire and parts of maine, too. looks like around central vermont three to five inches of snow above 1,000 feet in elevation. highest elevations, you get the most. going to be there for most of the day. you zoom towards this area and this is where the heaviest rain is going to be found breaking up as it gets towards illinois and indiana and picking up again around areas like kentucky and stretching down to tennessee. rain also possibility for atlanta. out west, another big storm, we'll get to that coming up i
