but even if data did exist on a national level it would still be rare for a police officer to be charged in even the most controversial cases. >> they don't just have a presumption of innocence they have a super presumption of innocence. and they have that because i think it's hard for people to believe that you know the men and women we hired to protect us would then go out and harm us. laurie levenson was federal prosecutor for 8 years. she says laws in place actually give police officers significant latitude. >> the other thing is, we allow them to carry weapons we have the sliding scale of use of force so there is a lot of deference to when they decide to use the weapons. they are in dangerous situations that are fast evolving. we are loathe to second guess them and the legal standards are very high for convicting a police officer. so even if you charge them it's not so easy to convict them. >> but there's also another major factor on if and how police are held to account: prosecutors. >> there is an inherent problem with local prosecutors going after quote one of their own one of th

the time has come for much more discussion at the national level as to where we want to pry ortize our precious edge educational dollars. i think president obama's plan is a success already. it's brought together leaders who are already carefully dialoguing regarding what is the next step and as long as we continue to have that dialogue i think it will lead us in the right direction. he is correct. the president has painted with pretty broad strokes here and until we see some of the finer points it's difficult to evaluate this as anything other than a concept. >> are you confident you can get the dollars to put these in place? >> i am. >> how do you think that will -- i read a graphic the other day and said a modest 2% increase. could contribute $20 billion and one billion in local and state property taxes every year. i think that's an increstment that is well worth the type and energy that this plan would entail. >> it's a problem because we already have 400,000 students on the waiting list to get into the community college system in california. if we drop the price to zero you will h

studies of documents at the state level, republicans have been getting a lot of pressure from the national levelvertical ideological line and stick to it and not compromise. so you get a lot of big impact with poe or lahrization at the state level and implementation. but there are also interestingly, more occasions of compromise and bipartisanship than we're seeingt the federal or national level, right? so if you take the affordable care act, for example one early 2014 study reported that four of the unified republican states and eight of twelve split states are expanding medicaid can, right? so there's some willingness from republicans to go along. two other republican states are considering it. in the education context, the political affiliation of the government hasn't mattered at all. 44 states have applied for and been granted waivers, there are another two under review. if you look more closely at the details of state implementation, i think some factor emerges particularly critical. political views at the state level matter right? equally important is the baseline, right? the legal struct

at the national level, we compete for funding.would be great to have an initiative, wwhere all the scientists got together to say, that is what we really need. i think neuroscientists __ it should be less social __ but, they managed to get together to do this. i like the fact that the brain initiative really makes people think about the brain more. in my experience with the brain mapping, we know the participants, we know the person behind the brain. i understood over the years, without public engagement, you cannot have neuroscience. at the basic level, we cannot study the brain if someone does not commit themselves to go through the scanner. we do not pay them, some pay them. public engagement is where i would like to focus. i started a new nonprofit called the institute for the brain and society, to make people more interested in neuroscience. i think it will help to accelerate research as well. >> if i can follow on __ your question of collaboration versus competition. everyone right now is viewing this in such a broad space.

on a national level, anonymous funding of campaign communications really took off in the last cycle. it has gone from a small part of the pie to a really huge part of the pie. and i think staff should be analyzing what went on in the last election cycle in terms of the state assembly races here in san francisco where a lot more money came in. and in general, i don't think there's any question that the level of funding for races in san francisco has increased dramatically in the last ten years. and when funders knows they can do things anonymously particularly those coming out of state, even if it's going to be disclosed, you get through the election cycle and you worry about that later. the idea is really, if you're going to put a disclaim -- disclaimer ad, say you're going to fund it anonymously. this is not going to say this is only funded by big donors or out of state money or out of district money. it's a question of whether people are willing to stand behind what they put up money to put out to the public. and i'll tell you, i mean, as you're coming in from all kinds of sources

when democrats hold all the statewide offices and two-thirds of the legislative seats at the national level there are a lost candidates and a lot names speculated and the republicans are still lagging in california so the expectation is whoever comes out of a democratic primary will enlikely to hold the seat. >> who are most likely? >> the lt. governor pamela harris and the treasurer and former mayor of los angeles has been talked about and that leaves out steve leslie and other nonelected officials who have been speculated they could run for public office themselves so it is a long list and it will be interesting to see how a crowded democratic primary will play out in two years. >> does it feel like whoever doesn't run for senate will run if governor? >> that is the expectation the two big seats that are open. the governor's race is not for four years but a history the speculation between those two in san francisco there will be some shifting and one will presumably one for one and one for the other. >> that will keep you busy to come and talk with us. thank you. >> all of us. >> be sure

the time has come for much more discussion at the national level as to where we want to prioritize the educational dollars. in that respect his plan is a success already. this is brought together leaders already carefully dialoguing regarding what is the next step. as long as we continue that dog like, it will lead us in the right direction. the president has painted with broad strokes. until we see the finer points. it's difficult to evaluate wait this as anything else. >> are you confident you can get the dollars to put these programs in place? >> i am. we can redeploy dollars that already exist within our system to serve the influx of students. >> >> how would that change the the economy if we were able to get all these students in for free? >> well i read a graphic the other day that said a model 2% increase in students achieving associate degrees could contribute $20 billion in economic growth to the state and $1 billion in local and state property taxes every year. that's an investment well worth the time and energy. >> i'll give you the final minute. >> i think it's a problem be

at the national level we need to ensure the internet is not used for hatred and. we need to improve our intelligence to unbiased and private defense, private security. everything that france will do as an opportunity for itself for its own security. yes it's an investment. gas at the time when my countries like others, is having to reduce its deficits manages expenditure, carry out reforms. i believe that this investment has to make for itself because we cannot claim to be a great nation. if we are not capable of giving the world what it expects from us from france, and then we have to make in our own countries against those that promote terrorism fundamentalist, sectarian phenomenon. the issue of urban segregation. here again we can carry out the measures which are important for security, cohesion solidarity. we will put measures into place and that is why it is very important to have growth oriented policies to create gods, to promote training and education so that young people have confidence in the future. the economy will answer against a spare in poverty. on

. >> any new osha regulations are devised at the national level in washington dc, with input from interest groups. so, even if there were a will to impose more regulations, they could take years to implement >> is it out of control? >> yeah i would say i mean the problem is it's pretty hard to complain about the hours you work when you're making that kind of money. i mean you got people coming up here young, starting out making a hundred thousand a year or you can be like myself who makes 200,000 a year and so it makes it really hard to complain to management that you're working too many hours when there are a lot of people that would love to be in my position. >> the breakneck pace of production in the bakken is so great that employees are often not given the most basic information about the hazards they're exposed to. brothers jeremy dagget and brandon belk worked for a company called badlands power fuels cleaning the inside of frac tanks for around 20 dollars an hour. >> do you know what chemicals have been in that tank? or are you just jumping in and taking a guess? >> no, you're just

at the national level. we compete for funding between each other.t would be great to have, we were talking before backstage, would be great to have as we suggested an initiative that would be just like -- where all the scientists got together and decided that's what we really need to understand. we would like to understand that spark in our brain, what makes us human. i think neuro scientists are not unlike even physicists should be less social than neuro scientists you would think but they manage actually to get together and do this. >> i like the fact that the brain initiative really made people think about the brain more. in my experience with the brain library because we know the participants, the patients, we know the person behind the brain, i understood over the years without public engagement there cannot be neuroscience. we cannot study the human brain if people don't lend themselves to go in for a scan. even at the very basic level. 20 minutes of their time. if people didn't care about the brain, not that we pay them. we don't pay them. so

and to have to do that on a national level is -- it's not just a weight for americans. i would say it would be a weight for any society comprised of human beings. it's very, very hard, en masse, for groups. and i, to be honest with you, i have doubts about our ability to do it. >> our ability as white folks to say -- >> no, no. >> to say we were this nation was founded on white supremacy? it is an organizing principle of our society? >> no, i have doubts about us as americans to do it. i mean, if you think about it, for african americans, it's a very depressing picture, too because if you're african american, it's like, okay, and then what? so what am i supposed to do with that information? you know, where do i go with that? i'm a minority, it's not like we're not -- we're clearly not going to have an armed revolution to seize any power. so what, then? you're telling me this, but what am i then supposed to do? it's terrifying, it's terrifying all around and it's not even terrifying because we're americans. i think if i spent any amount of time in any country, all countr

>> there is a party that needs to be adapted more on the european level than national level.e they really have to be dealt at a more international scale. but the real answer will come from the grass root itself. come from the citizens that understand that through education, through i want action with other communities not make this moment, those 4 million people marching in the streets just one day just january 11th but something that will last longer by creating together, having common association, dinners towing. with all have as i said a neighbor that is from different faith or color or background. we have to know them better. we have to understand them better because once you have the understands, it decreases confidence. >> okay, thank you for now. >> thank you. >> assistants professor at qatar university. >>> let's go to south korea now because the president there is saying that she is open to holding a summit with the north korean leader kim jong un. she also says that there will be no preconditions for talks but she still is insisting that an end to pyongyang's nuclea

rather than a local sinai problem it became a regional and even on a national level there is an expansion. on the regional level there is an expansion and you're turning more and more from urban terrorism methods to an actual mid-level urgency with sophisticated capacity and guerrilla tactics. surface-to-air missiles. and anti-aircraft missiles and some support mainly because of what the army has been doing in the area. the relocation of more than 1200 families giving them orders to leave the house or it would be blown up in 48 hours and a long series of grievances that locals in the area has been explaining complaining. >> it has been pointed out in order to establish the joint force, that he's going to have to rely upon the cooperation in this of israel. >> yes, it's no if secret that the corporation with israel has been going on for a long time. the operations by some of the israeli commandos to assassinate some of the leaders but also the cases of drone attacks with some of those militants were killed in august 2013. so intelligence and military cooperation and coordination. i think h
