people are making money.hinese officials have moved 300 million people live there -- out of poverty into the middle class. despite recent concerns about inflation, the economy is thriving. china has more billionaires than any country other than the united states. feeding this economic boom is china's educational system. it has been criticized for not fostering independent thinking butted is also graduating hundreds of thousands of top students in science and math. that is why multinational companies like microsoft have established beachheads in china. why do you think the largest r&d campus outside of redman for microsoft is in china? >> talent. the amount of talent to lookout in china. every year, we graduate 6 million people. 1 million are in computer science and electrical engineering. things to do with information technology. it is different from the u.s. the best and brightest students work in engineering tavis: statistics like that -- like that make us uneasy. those footsteps are making for some restles

i know when's people talk about policy and tough sentencing people sometimes roll their eyes. yes, last week we saw the criminal justice system deal with an unprecedented challenge. the courts sat through the night and dispensed swift and firm justice. we saw the system was on the side of the law-abiding majority. but confidence in the system is still too low. and believe me, i understand the anger with the level of crime in our country today and i'm determined we sort it out and restore people's faith that if someone hurts our society, if they break the rules in our society, then society will punish them for it. but we need much more than that. we need a social fightback with big changes right through our society. let me start with families. the question people asked over and over again last week was where are the parents? why aren't they keeping the rioting kids indoors. tragically that was followed in some cases by judges rightly lamenting why don't the parents even turn up when their children are in court. join the dots and you have a clear idea why some of these young peo

i have a statement from mayor michael bloomberg, like people up and down the east coast the people in the five burroughs have felt the tremor, and we have activated the department of buildings and thankfully no reports of significant damages or injuries at this time. as always, urge the new yorkers to call 911 only in the case of actual e energy smergency and t of the statement from the mayor of new york city michael bloomberg. we know that, pete to, your point, a lot of the information getting out at this point is about the inconveniences and the issues of checking out the soundness of the bridges, tunnels and making sure that the airports and buildings and structures are okay, but so far, we are not hearing of the major reports of damages and debris here and there, but thankfully, nothing more than that, pete. >> well, i think, tamron, the business of checking out the monumental buildings in washington, and i mean two ways, literally monuments like the lincoln memorial, and like the jefferson memorial and instructive thing happened here a couple of years ago when a little piece abou

these are people who lived up our young people. how could they do what they do when we can't do what we are supposed to do? how do you cut a poll grant? forgive me and allow me an indulgence. 75,000 americans got engineering degrees. 300,000 indians. six hundred thousand chinese people. they are doing what they are supposed to do. reggie bailey, were you mit? what are we supposed to do? what are we supposed to do? i am going to be quiet. >> let me follow up because it is the collective wisdom that it is president obama has offered what the new york times has called an overly generous package of cuts in social programs. what do we say about that? of course the republicans walked away once again. >> holy water. holy water. you know what? let's take our time and talk about the energy we have. i can fix these people. they are not fixable but here is what i want black people to understand. you know it from your ancestors story. no matter who we are or how we are we have triumphed even in the middle of nonsense. let's continue the energy

people that can't get a job people that aren't there can't so what happens to these people when you cut government spending over the years or is that that is to increase government spending and right now the rest of the middle class i mean where does government source its funds from. the tax base or its lenders so they are stealing it from the private sectors the money that was going to use into more productive assets in the private sector was going to use gets the bridge to the public sector even just print it and create inflation which is destroying the middle class because it was the discretionary purchasing power but at the same time michael and looks like the private sector is robbing the government you have two hundred thirty five thousand americans that made more than a million dollars in two thousand and nine fourteen hundred seventy of them paid no income taxes that's according to the i.r.s. how can you make the case that these people should get away with not paying any taxes that they're not robbing the government the top ten percent pay fifty percent well the taxes that t

some people won't. some people will never be the same. like that thing with katrina, some people are really good but you can tell just under the surface that they are a wreck. give them space, try to be professional, try to comfort them if you can, but some people won't let you. and don't take it personal. that's the main thing, just don't take it personal. sometimes people just can't be helped. they are not mad at you, they don't hate you, you are trying to help them. they probably understand that, but they have suffered a terrific loss and some people you can't help. but try. you got to try anyway. that's kind of why we're here, we want to try. some other feels, disorientation, physical or emotional numbness, loss of trust or abandonment, cranky. i would be. if i had to go shave in the marina medal school, my cat ran away, i'd be pissed. team behavior, be calm. you don't want to be excited and crazed. be systematic, demonstrate by example. if you are calm and cool and under control, people will see you are there to help. if you act like

and then get all of the people -- people of means, take them to that. then the whole neighborhood comes in. maybe bring in glass blowers and show them how to make things, work with the people. i have not talked to anybody, so i do not want to get ahead of myself. but you see the strategy i am talking about that goes right to the root of community. that engages everyone as a participant. and i do not just mean, here you go, susie. cut this, and we will slap it on. you participated. in the new year, we are going to be ready with things you want to do. we want them to be expressive, interactive, collaborative. i do not know if everyone is an artist, but they can express themselves. >> i look forward to that. some credi>> what is burning a's relationship right now with empire, nixon, burlap? how has that evolved over time, do you have twitter set up with them? >> we have been out there for 20 years. we know the folks out there. we have a ranch there where we used to stage our event. we brought it -- we bought property in the community. derleth, nevada is a

like we saw in egypt people can. pull change now the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu has been very quiet in his response in much the same as that i'll be egypt's president hosni mubarak was at the top of it that you may believe said shift today friday the opposition he deceived me issued a scathing attack against the dollar saying that not only was he out of touch with the people but the soviets that he was doing was to try and crush these demonstrations and the only thing that's another bit in the past few days except imitation is part of a mass movement people in the country thirty at the time here is a very catching people to mobilize people are saying they go nowhere and a lot of the government says i'm on the next anomalies policia t.v. television. knesset member daniel ben-simon says prime minister netanyahu doesn't realize the protests are rooted in public discontent and not coming from political rivals. people here yelling out shouting are sleeping in the streets and talking about tens of thousands

people. china seemed to be that place. it was so successful at attracting young people to the cities. you know, maybe now it's 200 million people have come off of the chinese countryside into the cities. you go into the chinese factories. there are hundreds of factories. the thing that seems like the most essential bit of employment is whether you are under 25. >> how can china stay young with the one child policy? they are manufacturing themselves to a grayer society. >> yeah, well, china right now is one the worlds youngest places. but it's also -- ironically, it's one the world most rapidly aging. so demographers do talk about this one statistic which is the dependency ratio. how many people are working as compared to how many people need support from those working people? and there's also the age dependency. how many people are working for older people that need support. china is one the lowest in the world right now, especially among industrialized country. there's one to 12. 12 workers

but there are certain people out there who run people out of their, throw a limb in jail, giving people tickets, dragging off their cars -- throwing people in jail, giving people tickets, dragging up their cars. that is part of the game to push us out. >> a lot of our children are foster care. what are we doing about them? we know that a lot of the young men are committing these crimes. how are we addressing milk? -- how are we addressing them? you can get it easier than you can get an apple. that is not our fault, and we are trying to change that. we need liquor stores to be better neighbors because the people hanging in front of liquor stores are not buying milk and bread. they are buying cups of liquor, by a cigarette. they are doing other things. we are trying to make sure that people understand that if you have a liquor store, you can provide other services as well. looking at the best liquor stores and saying that this is a good standard. we want liquor stores to be like this throughout the city, good neighbors. we are trying to take back our streets, get different uses, and peopl

if you post people are one or two paychecks away from losing now single and some people in california are even closer than that they're setting up camp on the sidewalk so with main street now out on the streets is the american dream fading away. plus the bus stops here president obama is rolling into midwestern towns but this tour comes with a lot of economic baggage like where all the jobs. and a mind of the gas income levels between the rich and poor are at an all time high in the u.s. so should we expect to see rioting in our own backyard or is it already here. it's tuesday august sixteenth eight pm in washington d.c. i'm christine frizz out there watching our team. well good evening i am fresh back from ames iowa where i covered last week's g.o.p. debate as well as the iowa straw poll to spend some quality time in middle america and also got a front row seat to some of the early campaigning that's going on for the republican primary to make some observations about what it looks like on the ground from where i stood the night of the debate standing on a grid overlooking the road wh

the people want us to fight. they want us to be strong, and they want us to not only create these jobs. they want something massive, something that is going to make a tremendous difference, and i think we are at that point where we have learned, we have worked, we have taken a enough where we are going to be insistent that what comes out in september is going to reflect the experiences we have had. >> you are talking about jobs in general and the african american community, but what about -- in the african-american community, but what about specialized areas? we have people who deal with specialized segments of the community who are having a hard time finding jobs. one is people over 55. i know this job fair dealt with giving advice to people over 55. the second is people who have been out of work a long time. there are studies showing people who are jobless are less likely to get a job, and the third would be people with felonies on their record. what is the cost to specifically include items that deal with thos

people long for what they fought against. >> people come to terms with their own past.re were discussed as the cause of evil. the whole world the threat to that that model. >> -- was a teenager when the war began, she is now 36 nostalgic. you cannot choose from memories. >> when the war started, this is really dramatically marked the lives of our generation. you cannot overlook the crimes. my generation still remembers the lives in yugoslavia. the last war criminal is extradited to the hague. there is talk of a new fear, and economic space which offers certain advantages. >> they say that nostalgias not used to be. with that, we're at the end of the program. we will see you here next time. goodbye.

people. it really goes back to, they are plenty of people who can work. and there is a direct correlation with the amount of education they had, whether they have a secondary education, to, and i am willing to pay for your services and it really ties into the fact that they do not have money. our politicians are well paid and there's a strong disconnect on the needs of the american people, for them to change policies and bring about some decent change in this country. all politicians, democrats, republicans, independents, you name it. we need a third party. host: does the current free- trade policy of this administration hurt or help your business? caller: it does not really apply to the geography that we serve. i really cannot speak of that. host: let's move on to sam in idaho. what is killing jobs in the united states? caller: around 1971, i saw them cutting american wages in half by hiring mexicans. when i saw -- what to mexico and some of them cutting mexican wages and have is shipping th

own people. they cut the noses and ears off of children, disem bowl women in front of their husbands. these are not people that we can accept a level of negotiation. this is by their admittance. not as a military officer, that's what they have stated consistently. i think when i hear people ask that, you've seen what they will do and the knowledge of the senior leaders who ordered it or know that it's taking place and don't do anything to prevent it, either lower level fighters, i think it's indicative of what the organization and the people will do to any member of any werner or american if they were given the opportunity. >> it's really well documented after the soviets were thrown out what they did to their own people. >> and they continued to do it. in areas where they have no -- they really have no control expect for fear. that's what terrorists organization do. they feed off of people's terror. i think one the interesting things, you see how they continue to morph, what happened in 2006 jus

it is supposed to be the government of the people, for the people, by the people.nd it is not just the regular people anymore. but we need to get off of here and stop all of these wars. we cannot help everybody anymore. and need to focus on our economy. and i feel as though the republicans would rather see -- that would rather see this country go down to its knees to get rid of president obama. and also come all the people out there outsourcing jobs? stop them. host: another story on the super committee. a recent poll says that the americans want the debt panel to compromise. let's go to richard, an independent in indiana. the fed moved to keep interest rates near 0%? caller: it helps in the short term. i have college loan payments and credit card payments. in the short term, it definitely helps me get college loans so that i can go to college and get the skills that i need to get a job. but in the future, with inflation and the decreasing value of the dollar, the cost of leaving possibly going up, it seems like the consequences really do not -- are too great for t

some 4 million people without power. a lot of people certainly will need help in the coming days. thomas teague is president and ceo of direct relief international. the good news here, obviously, the number of people who could have been impacted in a disastrous way not the case, but there are people in shelters, a lot of seniors who will need help as they leave those shelter and other places to get back home. >> right. thanks, tamron. the good news is it clearly wasn't the worst-case scenario, and may be the best-scare scenario, but with all this disruption, you know, it's still unknown. i think the assessments need to be done. for direct relief international, we're the only nonprofit licensed to provide prescription drugs in all 50 states, so i think that's been on our focus on the particular needs we'll know that, i think we pre-positioned a lot of people in the region. we'll see how it shakes out. we're thankful for the support of abbott laboratories, fedex and protect other and gamble who understand this well and stepped forward and said put us down to help. let's pre-position

the only people that i'm able to affect are the people who care about what i have to say. there is something you can do, but i'm sure it wouldn't be, uh...easy. different man: i get angry about it, but it's like... ya' know, in my own apartment. [laughs] >> happiness rains supreme. nearly one thousand couples tide the not. >> by the powers invested in me, i declare you husband and wife. >> the north like court was turned into a huge extension of the city clerk and hundreds of city and county employees were trained as volunteers. >> the process has been amazing. the people have been so gracious and supportive. the energy here is fantastic with so many couples getting married. it's a fantastic experience. so wonderful. >> we have been planning this for a year. we thought we were doing the ceremony for the 2 of us. actually, being able to be a part of this time in history and in our history is amazing. >> it's really nice to have our relationship recognized as important as our parents and not something less than. >> we have been waiting for 18 years for this and when it was a

my job, once president, is to be a president of the people, by the people, and for the people. not for the politicians, not for washington, d.c. that means i am going to listen to you, not listen to the lobbyists, or the establishment. the people in this country are crying out to the top of their voice. we, the people, are still in charge of this country, and we want to take it back. that is what the people are saying. and so when people ask me why i'm running for president, like i said, it is for the children and grandchildren. i will never forget when i look into the face of my first grandchild in 1999. the first thought that crossed my mind was, what do i do to make this a better nation and better world? not know the answer then. 12 years later, i believe i know the answer. 12 years later, i believe i know the answer after a lot of prayer, soul-searching, a lot of prayer and soul-searching. that is when i made the decision to run. i love it when people say that i do not have a chance of getting the nomination, that i do not have a chance of winning the presidency. all that d

what are people saying?> reporter: there's a massive public backlash against this looting and against this violence that's been borne out in radio shows and newspapers and on twitter and facebook. i think, to start with, people were just stunned that police seemed to have completely lost control of the situation and that the situation spread so virally through london and in through other cities like here in birmingham. then yesterday the police really regained control. they were more roust in how they were dealing with looters, they were cracking down very hard, zero tolerance for any kind of trouble making, and i think there's a huge collective sigh of relief. the communities, as well, right across britain have come out themselves to protect businesses and to stop shops being smashed. we've seen that this evening here in birmingham in the asian community hundreds of young men out protecting their businesses and they're saying they have absolutely no trouble with the looters. >> isha sesay joins us with the

like, especially seniors, or disabled people. there's also some bustlines that are less used in the richmond district that we are now working with the muni system to think about continuing but maybe reduce its frequency, but continue its access for many people that live in isolated parts of the city. i strongly support stronger youth discount passes and supporting the bus system so that younger people have strong access. we are trying to work with the school district right now and city agencies to ensure that young people get more support. we want them to be lifelong transit riders as well, so we are trying to look at different issues of transit equity for younger people in our population as well. >> what is happening with crime in your district, and how do you think our police department is doing? supervisor mar: we are extremely lucky to have a great police captain with great officers within our police department on six and geary -- sixth and geary. a lot of issues in our neighborhood tend to be graffiti, carbos thing. sometime

people are really nervous. we have to ask them for id. >> we and have an appointment and allow them to proceed >> once you are ready, you and your husband to be need to check in with me here. that's process you one by one. get your license here and re-enter. >> city hall is going to take care of you today. >> don't worry about the time line. >> we are greeting people here and directing them to the services they need, which is licensing or getting the ceremony performed. we are making sure nobody else jumps the line. >> the marriage license process is defined by the court space. >> okay. are we good? >> thank you so much. >> this is an opportunity to choose to be a part of history. many times history happens to us, in this case, you can choose to be a part of it. it's an historic day. i am very proud to be here >> hopefully, people will see that gay and lesbian people have loving relationships. it puts a face on that for a lot of people. i think there's all the of misconception of who gay and lesbian people are.

people wanted to dine on alaskan king crab. they wanted to visit people in small communities, have an opportunity to see that part of alaska before it changed, and the last thing on this particular survey was sport fishing. my job was basically to try to change public attitudes, to become an expert in the resources there, because no one had really been on the ground that much, and then to try to convince people that perhaps this should be a new national park someday. [narrator] when the kenai fjords national park was finally created, local people had rarely ventured into the fjords, and knowledge of historic settlement in the area was very fragmented. one explanation is that the fjords attracted few mariners and adventurers. english explorer captain james cook described it as a barren, stormy wasteland devoid of any habitation or interest, which faded in and out of view as the fog set in. he didn't even attempt to go ashore. [man] where we're heading for is the south end of three hole bay. from there, we go to cape aialik. it's

what the rebels and people who people... people who... the main people fighting for colonel gadhafi now are mercenaries. many of them are from african couarriesc, but at one point today we were near the natiol c oilorporationoiandti there the rebels have taken it ov. they were marching with their hands on their heads . i asked who were these persons? and i was told they were ukrainian mercenaries. >> brown: your report shows us pictures of joyous residents. can you tell if that is the majority of the people or is theretiell som sense of a divided city? >> i think the majority. s ame to libya for the firsti time six months ago, just a few days after the revolution started in the east. i spent a lotof timehere this year. of coursehe pre areeople who have benefited fr aom colonel dhruafi's le.i' there are families an tribes who made alliances with hi but thema hjority of libyans, as far as i can tell, hate him. want to see him go. th's w thyhere was such extraordinary scenes of emotion and jubilation on the streets today and last night. it's

people out of a job only takes a small proportion of those people who feel they have no future to risk to act in this way to bring chaos and violence the streets of our cities and i mean there's other issues too i think i think consumerism and the consumer society has a lot of responsibility in britain your status has so much to do with what you possess. and what you wear. for a lot of all young people want to be part of a consumer society but there's a whole group of people particularly poor communities who feel they have no access to it and in a perverse way i think that's what you saw in places like hackney where you got some of the poorest people living on some of the richest right in the center of london and i think that kind of inequality mixed with hyper consumerism helps create that situation that we saw in the shop you mentioned this inequality but the policy for some time has been to mix rich and poor living in the same areas bring in council houses to fill in areas and vice a versa do you not think that's work then i think the problem with vacation is you end up with lots of

together with the old slogan the people want social justice they were also chanting the people want the ceasefire if that's representative of most israelis would most israelis support a ceasefire i think there are some israelis who. are very angry with palestinians and go oh let's go in and finish them one off for once and for all and that is going actually. people will take but i think quite a few people would like to see a ceasefire and i'm sure that the moment when the cease fire goes into effect everybody will be very relieved the problem what was said. bill you mentioned mainstream columnist to do in the article not that there is a kind of macho question who will have the last word who will shoot the first shot the last shot which is completely unimportant as a politically or militarily but it is a question of the station and that causes more people to the forces for the chief. one time the issue here for the last month has been issues of social security and social issues all of a sudden that agenda seems to have changed to terrorism and security do you think that the netanyahu gov

people, for the rights of people.gain, for all of us to come together and realize that we are all in one boat. and the corporate elite and the media elite, they are on a totally different level playing field. until americans understand that unless the americans come together, no matter what persuasion, sexual, religious, whatever the case may be, and understand that the people made the difference. martin luther king galvanize people. host: a couple of business stories, one from the "washington post." we go next to orlando, florida. ken on the democrats' line. caller: this is just a tremendous program this morning. and specifically the question, how it impacted me, it motivated me to be responsible and accountable. and what i mean is, self-worth and that pride can and the dignity of being a part of this american system. and they stand for nonviolence. i think one thing that with a broken his heart, to see that devastating action of us in our communities and how we are murdering and killing one another. another. i think

but you are right you have people that are suffering more and poor people who are getting killed more. so that absolutely is true. i still think it raises important issues here. >> in baltimore city closed down the center, they closed the rec centers, they closed a lot and people really don't understand the importance of grabbing kids as working before. i was working the senator reading on the fifth grade level and it is a thing about race and particularly the target the young will black males in baltimore city and until we raise our voices and start to try to do something about that, with these petitions force them to do their jobs, i don't really see a lot changing three estimate how you to a situation where you have kids growing up in poverty and see around them some of the largess of the baltimore community to see the big hotels and the inner harbor, you see the condos in canton and highland town and other parts of the city and to say to them you can have this, how do you make them believe they can have that without becoming drug dealers and living the life of crime because that's

we asked people in an area where there are about 300,000 people to evacuate. we needed time to do that. so we had to make the call for this early. it was important to remember that when the decision was made by our mass transit authority to shut down subways and buses. we needed eight hours to do that. then we needed time to move our train and bus equipment out of where we store it. it just happens we store it in low lying areas in the rockaways. moving the equipment out, closing down the subways enabled us to get them back up and running at 6:00 a.m. today. the fact that the mta had to respond to was if there are sustained -- not gusts -- sustained winds of 39 miles an hour or more, the subways cannot run. on friday, all indications were that that was likely to happen. you need time to move people and shut the system down. based on what we knew, with all due respect, not from the media, but from weather services and governmental agencies on friday we had to make that call. >> i was in new york towards the end of last year, late december, when there was this 1

how could they not care about people if they are the leading voices against killing people in our name so i think that this is what angela saying is a very important i think the left wing groups that used to dominate the anti-war movement need to welcome these very principled very strong willed people into the movement because they're our allies and they're the best allies right now it's a very exciting political dynamic i was on going to be on a show with ron paul the night in which he and i talk about the. libertarians of his ilk and a little left must come together it is the only way in fact i believe that these wars will and that the empire will be brought home the only way that will happen is if the left and libertarians come together around these issues michel find how do you i mean you know i never would have thought years ago i never would have thought i'd turn into a fan of pat buchanan you know i mean a lot of issues domestic issues but when he talks about foreign policy i kind of stand up and listen i mean we have some unlikely bedfellows here but i've been to echo our two o

recovery is where people get into the solution and that's what it's all about, giving people hope and healing and a new way of life. some of the main questions that we receive is, what kind of training is this, you know? and when you say, media message training, that means that if the media... put a microphone and camera to my face and say, joe, i heard that you used drugs and alcohol before. and who are you? and how do i respond to the media and how do i respond to where the community and the public can know that the benefits of long-term recovery? i think the main message there is that people in long-term recovery can move onto advocate for people with addictions and people to also get long-term recovery like they did. the message is real clear that the benefits of recovery, it works, and that's a reality for many people that's in recovery today. lureen you wanted to comment. yeah, i really wanted to comment on something that, that carlos said and connected to what john was saying. carlos talked about the confusion around the language and john talked about the research that really s

people blaming people in every possible. everywhere and for therapeutic for it hear it here and then for and really. write very for the right things that make her power and how even his very narrow. run its. owner and her with her i think. there's an. opening here. for the. truth. as it. competes with here we have to be. on earth. who can happily plan any. of it we immerse. that work later society for. we consider everything. we do i think that's why so many people internationally if you are watching the situation and are so curious because they want to know and that's whatever it is trying to you can text realize it is what exactly is going wrong we don't see this happening in the usa i guess you could say that probably not since the. angeles riots to the beating of rodney king we haven't seen this type of thing and there are some concerns you know could it could happen here but there is something specific that must be going on in england now i want to ask you about what you think of the role of social media here of course
