yeah carl here doesn't think that it's a good idea to take children to new york city's gay pride event you guys might remember that our t. sent a crew to new york's pride back in june in a we shared the video which was perfectly ok for t.v. but he claims that there are men in speedos at the pride event in that they were dancing around and that is just not something little kids should see carl is not what andrew and his wife have to decide on their own not you then carl decided to go even a little further in his cave bashing take a listen to this. don't misquote me this one into her homosexual people in any way it would be a disaster like my approach is live in la. i just think my children and your children will be much better off much more successful getting married and raising a family and i don't want them to be brainwashed into thinking that homosexuality is an equally valid. it is wow so now schools are actually brainwashing children about homosexuality where do you come up with this stuff it should also be noted that his written speech for the event included the following statemen

and that's what new york city did. they first went to the hudson highlands, but 150 years later, it went to the delaware highlands. and really diverted the water that normally went to philadelphia to new york city. i don't think they anticipated that. narrator: the majority of new york city's drinking water comes from watersheds in upstate new york. a watershed is the area of land where water from rain or snow melt drains downhill into a body of water. mountains act as a funnel to feed rivers and lakes. and in this case, reservoirs. in the new york city system, water is collected and stored in 19 reservoirs, which can hold more than a year's supply -- over 580 billion gallons of water. almost all of the system is fed by gravity, without the use of energy-consuming pumps. valves open to regulate the flow into the 85-mile-long delaware aqueduct -- the longest tunnel in the world. at hillview reservoir... the water is partitioned into another giant tunnel system. where it travels deep below manhattan. the pressure built up

city regarding water issues. this is the first outreach which was a supplement in new york times and daily news which i think is the most circulated paper in new york city. and getting bigger as time goes on we'll try to engage in some of this thinking where people are thinking of this early and not just presented with a plan to go, thumbs up or down on it. the idea of putting sustained conversation with consistent information is very important. this is new york city does not preclude the water utilities thinking about climate change and water and the things that go along with that and trying reach out nationally. one more. last one. >> i'm representing the endangered species coalition. made up of four hundred different groups. i guess my question from yesterday revolved the impacts of global warming like the, eco basis. >> i don't want to disappoint you but we're not going to be able to do questions. so i hope you can make this a comment. >> i would encourage water managers and people included in water matters try to preclude or include other species and in the process early on rather than late in the game which h

it's led by new york city, but it's really over 40 health organizations. r cities and other states that are working together. we think it has the opportunity for tremendous impact and the ability to save lives. >> reporter: of course, we can all make healthier food choices without the government's help. it's simple to choose a fruit instead of fries. but the salt initiative is taking aim at the salts we don't see. >> almost 80% of the salt that we take in each day comes from packaged and restaurant food. still, most consumers don't really have any control over the salt that they take in. it's already in the food when we buy it. it's not always actually the salt you that taste. a muffin can have a lot of salt. >> reporter: when you're shopping for packaged food, check the label. salt is listed as sodium. it's measured in milligrams. and you don't need more than 2,300 milligrams a day. they add up fast. even a can of vegetable soup can be loaded with sodium. >> you can have as much salt as you're supposed to eat in a whole day in one chicken sandwich at a cha

city. they began building the infrastructure of new york in 1872. from the subways to the sewers, the water tunnels to the highway tunnels, new york city thrives because of their work. ryan: you got one little hole in the ground, and nobody knows we're here. see the empire state building, right. that's 1,000 feet. so you figure, you go down 1,000. how high that is -- that's how far we go down. narrator: stretching more than 60 miles under the city, tunnel 3 is taking generations of workers to complete. ryan: i don't even want to imagine what my father had to go through. when we first started, it was a rough job. everything was dynamite. now, they have these machines called "moles." it's like a big drill, and it just cuts right through the ground. so there's no more dynamite. and it's still a rough job, but it's gotten to a point where it's a lot safer. in the '70s, we lost a man a mile basically. here, maybe we've had two or three deaths in the last 20 years, which is too much anyway, but it's cut down a lot. hurwitz: city tunnel number 3 will be an

our other top story from amtrak to hotels and subwhich is in new york city -- subways in new york city beefed up security in conjunction with terror threats and travel alerts it europe. emily schmidt is live in northwest this morning with the details on that. >> good morning to you. the state department says this alert to europe was the right thing to do at the right time. we are beginning to see some stepped up security measures here at home as one of the ripple effects of the alert. one place is in mass transit. major cities across the country have been briefed on the threat in what is called an abundance of caution and they are stepping up the security surge along amtrak. f.b.i. and homeland security officials say there is no sign terrorists are targeting the u.s. or citizens in the current plot but the government is taking to chances. yesterday the u.s. attacked a suspected center of the european plot in pakistan. meanwhile, the government's advice remains the same. people should continue with their plans to travel to europe but certainly do so carefully. we are beginning to see pe

you take a taxi which is like literally held together by a wire you come into new york city and it's possible ols and ramshackle and then you arrive in new york city and it's even more ramshackle yeah well that's the information we're getting is that the u.s. is slipping and sliding down the slippery slope of decay and the rest of the world is moving on the decoupling investment strategy seems to be working for those who are dumping the u.s. dollar my god the u.s. dollar is puking up its guts right now and looks training lower than they poop i never heard of that but speaking of the comforting there is this headline super rich investors buy gold by ton so this is according to u.b.s. executive joseph the world's wealthiest people are responding to economic worries by buying thousands of ounces of gold and sometimes by the ton including stayed there from u.b.s. said we had a clear example of a couple buying over a ton of gold and carrying it to another place at today's prices that shipment would be worth over four. two million dollars well there i don't want to say anything but when you

he says it is an effort to call what he calls an epidemic of obesity and diabetes in new york city. numerous studies have linked diabetes and obesity to the consumption of soft drinks and junk food. about 1 in 5 children nationally are overweight. in new york city, that figure is 40%. and it is even higher in poor minority areas where more people rely on the federal food subsidies. >> if you're obese as a child, chances are you'll get diabetes. >> reporter: why limit this to beverages? there must be other sugared foods -- >> there's lots of things. but you can't solve all the problems at once. >> reporter: many people we spoke to strongly objected to the idea. unhealthy, he says. >> well, he is not -- he is not god and should not play doctor and surgeon general on that. >> these are not all people that need to be told that they should be restricted. there are better ways to make sure there are healthy outcomes. >> reporter: some people may perceive they are being picked on. >> they can buy them as much as they want. taxpayers of this country are willing to subsidize but way tonight t

city? >> well, you had this terrible incident in new york. you had the suicide across the river, a rutgers university student, gay, who was sort of forcibly outed in this kind of bizarre incident with his roommates. you know, not really well timed, to put it mildly. i don't think he was thinking about that. you know, the other thing that strikes me about carl paladino is that, you know, what he said, the actual concepts are really not that different from what most conservative republicans say they believe about homosexuality. the difference is, is that over the last 10 or 20 years, as societal moraes have changed, those folks have come up with the vocabulary to signal that they think homosexuality is not normal, that it's wrong, but there's not a lot of "disgustings" and this really kind of harsh language. so one thing that carl paladino has a lot of credibility on now, he's not like other politicians. not in albany and not anywhere. and you see -- well, maybe somewhere, but he's operating from different playbook, and i think this is an examp

the new york city economy doing better than the rest of the country. arkansas unemployment rate is lower than the rest of the unemploymentur employee rate is lower than the rest of the country and we have created many private-sector jobs. we are doing something right in new york. we have attracted not just from overseas but from the rest of the country the immigrants wanted the chance to participate in the great american dream. that is the great strength of new york city. i don't understand why other people don't look at it and say maybe they should try it. it might not be right for the rest of the country. >> i appreciate that very much. mr. wiener mentioned earlier. the traits of americans that we value the most, optimism, risk- taking, entrepreneurs ship, commitment to family, those are really the traits of immigrants that really define our country. to turn our backs on our rich immigrant tradition is deadly for the future of our country. to be afraid of that is really to lack faith in the strength of our country. >> it is national suicide. >> i agr

and one thing that we've seen is that in new york city where a little bit different than perhaps the tional economy, for two reasons. new yorkers need to get out to eat. new yorkers are a self-selected group of people who live in small apartments and they're social creatures who need to be in restaurants so that helps us. the other thing that helps us is traveling tourism has had a strong year in new york city, so we've done well from that standpoint. >> so it feels like it's getting better. food has such celebrity right now. whether it's chefs, tv shows, magazines, does main street interest in this world change what people want to eat or change the way you operate? >> i think so. i think you've got to be really aware of trends. the amount of interest of which people follow restaurants and chefs these days is almost like sports teams. what i find fascinating in the old days you have a chef who is purely about his or her point of view in terms of what they'ring cooking. now that chef has to be awir of what dishes are in the newspaper, on the blogs, magazines because these trends sweep

new york city's mayor says not in his city. >> sugar sweetened drinks are not worst the dos our health and government shouldn't be promoting or subsidizing them. >> reporter: under the new proposal, most soft drinks would no longer be available to the 1.7 million new yorkers using food stamps. it's already prohibited to spend food stamps on beer or cigarettes. but under mayor bloomberg's proposal, soft drinks such as these would also be prohibited. he says it is an effort to call what he calls an epidemic of obesity and diabetes in new york city. numerous studies have linked the growing instance of diabetes and obesity, especially among children to the consumption of soft drinks and junk food. junk food. about 1 in 5 children nationally are overweight. in new york city, that figure is 40%. and it is even higher in poor minority areas where more people rely on the federal food subsidies. >> if you're obese as a child, chances are you will be obese as an adult, chances are you'll get diabetes. >> reporter: why limit this to beverages? there must be other sugared foods -- >> there's lots

in recent years in new york city, in six cities and towns in maryland, in chicago, immigrants have been allowed to vote and studies have shown that when immigrant parents are working alongside all other parents, that helps to improve schools in many ways. in new york city these coalitions helped brick about reduced class sizes, new capital funding to schools and greaterer participation in after school programs. and the supreme court has reiterated over and over that citizenship is not a prerequisite to voting. the reats -- reason our founding fathers allowed immigrants to vote in over 22 staints and -- states and territories is that allowing newcomers to invest in local institutions improves this for everyone. >> if passed how do you see proposition d impacting the school system? >> i think many of us believe that when you engage all those parents working a longside together, that really helps to move the entire school system forward and this is why we have parents throughout the city, young people, teachers, the democratic party, the labor council, the entire school board and a super m
