still can't wrap my head around the figure, 20,000 protesters on thursday pap huge piece of the storyiece, though, is the fact that mahmoud auk min jaud, does he have plans to meet with any of our u.s. leaders? >> reporter: probably not on the table, brooke, but you've got a lot of balls in the air right now, because the relationship as we know, pretty bad at this point, but do you have perhaps ahmadinejad wants an improving relationship. he said as much. he said they are willing to talk in some fashion. he did intervene to help get sarah shourd, the hiker, released. granted, who knows what's going to happen with the other two hikers, but there are these hints he wants a better relationship. you know, brooke, every time that he comes here, and he's been here many times, everyone kind of is waiting for the other shoe to drop. will he say something very, very critical? you know, over the line about the united states? we had -- more mild than you might have expected on these millennium development goals on economic development and social development in the world. and it was pretty modera

so the flavor, if you are to cut this and taste this, and if it tastes like sal none, i pap poll jazz me taste the 87 netically altered one. >> that's right. >> wow, the natural -- the one that has not been altered has a better flavor to it. that's what i'm seeing is a better flavor in the one that isn't altered in both of these. what about the grapes? >> this is a little unfair because the species are different. they are both green grapes. these are indigenous to georgia where these are seedless thompsons that are grown more up in the northeast. so you are going to have a different flavor profile, but when you look at how this bunch is all packed together and all equal size. they are beautiful. >> color is the same. >> very appetizing, as opposed to the natural that are going to have sun spots and changes in size, but when you taste them -- once again, it's unfair in the taste because they're a different variety of grapes. natural grapes are going to have these variations on it them and be smaller and larger. the smaller ones have better flavor which makes for better win if they are

heard the story about that tv reporter who is leveling harassment allegations against the new york jets pape are talking about this story now and saying should what she was wearing to work have anything to do with this conversation. i had a conversation with some of my female colleagues about it. and they went off. i'll share my thoughts in today's xyz. but first new poverty numbers from the accept sus bureau today. it paints a picture we were expecting for to paint. it's a picture that you're probably already familiar with. and what we're seeing is that in 2009, the poverty rate in this country has shot up. it shot up to 14.3%. that's the highest poverty rate we've seen in this country since 1994. it is also the highest as far as just shear numbers of people who are living in poverty now, the highest number of americans living in poverty in the 51 years that they have been keeping track of such numbers. let me break down what is poverty. what does that mean these days? let's break this down for you this way. if it's a family of four making less than $21,954 annually, that is defined as pov

though it's not officially a combat, we still have 50,000 troops there, the war in afghanistan obviously papspeculation about secretary gates' future. what's your sense and the president's sense how long he's saying? the end of the year? a lot of people are wondering because of continuity any both wars. >> let me take the second part. i do not know -- i have not heard any update on that. i would point you over to jeff and doug at the pentagon for an answer on secretary gates. o'will say this. i think secretary gates has provided an enormous amount of leadership at a time as you said in which we were involved in a war in afghanistan, and still involved in assisting in iraq. i think if you look at the steps that he and the president have talked about taking as it relates to restructuring the pentagon, those are tremendously important, not just from a budgetary perspective, but for a readiness -- from the perspective of readiness. the debates we had about the f-22, the second engine for the f-35 obviously are very important. in terms of the first one i don't have a readout of their meeting. i k
