running from liberals all the way to extremist nationalists, almost neo-naziists, and those that as rachelaid are street thugs, so it's hard to know if they can control its own forces. so that's certainly one of the conditions to look at as this develops. the other one is the extent to which the opposition willing to assume some kind of compromised solution. now they were offered earlier a place in the ukrainian government, and they rejected that. and maybe that would have been a better solution at that point in time, although it's hard to imagine anybody really fitting in with the kind of criminalized type of rule that the yanukovych regime has pursued. so, you know, part of the question also is even if the opposition does exceed to come kind of agreement what are the prospects of that holding up in the long return. >> we're going to take a short back and when we come back we'll talk more about the situation in ukraine where a truce has just been called, and we'll look at power movements in other places in the world, and ask is this a model that really works? so many money stories sound c

and certainly in sear y we say this couldn't work, but the story is far more complex than that. >> rachel, how important is it to have identifiable leaders that not only are well recognized inside the cory, but can speak to the outside of the country, too. we saw the opposition leader in jail for some time, a face for the rest of the world. does that help? is it important or inciden incio this wider story? >> i have to defer to the professors on these issues, but i believe that leadership is extremely important in insuring that movement stay unified, and that they carry a--that they stick to an agenda. particularly i think if you want a movement to stay peaceful, i think that leadership is absolutely crucial. otherwise when you have leaders who are actually afraid of losing their legitimacy see thrh the crowd because they stand down their arms or to, for example, let the police task i think there is a leadership problem. we've seen that happen at one point in the previous confrontation stand off in january. when they went up to the armed crowd to say, look, let's find a solution here. the

jackson falls in love with rachel, but rachel's married. problem at the time was women could not divorce. so she has to get -- jackson writes a letter, she asks rowards for the divorce. he agrees to grant the divorce, but he's such a slacker, he doesn't get around to doing it. jackson and rachel get haired and then later find out she's still married. this is when jackson writes a famous letter to robards saying that -- this is not verbatim, he says that i demand you give my wife a twors, otherwise i'm going to come and cut off both your ears with my sword. so robards gives the divorce, then andrew jobbingson and ray -- jackson and rachel marry a second time. it's one of the better marriages in the history of the white house. what rachel does is she really soothes the beast. when rachel's around, jackson's normal. when she's not, look out. what happens for jackson is there was that difficult 1824 election that i mentioned, then there's difficult 1828 election. jackson's supporters call john quincy adams because he took the electoral college,

where rachel could realize her potential. now rachel's about 20 years old. she's graduated from high school. she doesn't have a job. she has two jobs. and i look around my church and i see my friends and i say to myself, perhaps the choice act will be the path to seeing more kids realize more of their potential. as i think through the opportunity component of the choice act creating hope and opportunity for individuals an opportunities through education, i think about the dismal numbers in the d.c. area, so many kids trapped in failing schools. as a matter of fact, they're trying so hard there are 21 -- 22,000 students on waiting lists, 15 schools closed, and yet, with a graduation of 56%, there is some conflict, some challenge to the notion that we should provide more opportunity scholarships to more kids. let me explain how that works. how many of you guys would like to have better outcomes for less money? raise your hands. i figured -- i see your hand in the air as well. would you rather pay $20,000 for 56% high school graduation rate or if i gave you doo

let's bring in cnn's rachel nichols.dering how he reacted to this, knowing everybody thought he was going to walk away with the gold. >> yeah, he was extremely disappointed because, you're right, he was the favorite in this event. he had near perfect runs during training. he was blowing the competition here away, and he was trying to do something historic. he's 36 years old, which is old for an alpine skier, and he was trying to become the oldest alpine skier to stand on a medal stand at the olympics. this was really going to be meaningful for him. unfortunately, while he got off to a pretty good start, had a great first split time, he had some trouble in the middle and the bottom of the mountain, ran into at least one gate, kind of bobbled on another one. seemed to have some trouble with the visibility out there today because it was a little cloudier this morning than during some of the training runs, and i got to tell you, guys, right after he crossed the finish line, you could see how crushingly disappointed he was, j

producer rachel curses and comedian lee camp i started by asking rachel to tell us about what was discussed at these meetings at the f.d.a. . so the question that they're considering is what's called mitochondrial manipulation and the mitochondria provides a scam amount of d.n.a. most of the d.n.a. in a baby comes from as we know the egg in the sperm there's a little bit that comes from the medical which is where all of the energy comes from in a cell so what they want to do and what they've been able to do in monkeys is replace that mitochondria of a woman who might have genetic defects this is about one in four thousand children are affected by these mitochondrial defects and replace that with a healthy woman's mitochondria so that's where you get the kind of third person getting involved in the d.n.a. process so the talks are very much limited to this one process of mitochondrial manipulation and i really addressing that the call concerns that are being or the ethical concerns but specifically related to this one of the process not kind of a broader question of manipulating sperm and egg

rachel? there she is. the before and after.of course the clothes are different, too. lost nearly 60% of her body weight. iryou're not familiar with the program, the contestant who loses the highest percentage of body weight wins, and she won. folks took shots at her, at the show, at nbc, which airs it. some were mean-spirited as they always are on the interwebs, others criticize officials for letting her get so thin. the nbc statement reads: we support rachael and all of the "biggest loser" contestants. we remain committed to helping contestants achieve healthy weight loss and live healthier lifestyles and inspire vieweres. that's how nbc speaks. let's get to carol alt on this. she hosts a healthy you, saturdays at 4:00 p.m. eastern time on fox news channel. they say your bmi, body mass index, is 18.5 -- she is 17.5, too skinny. >> i think she looks great. let them look at a roomful of models. >> a buddy weighed in, nobody complains when people add weight. they're just jealous. >> they put these two pictures side above side, on

thank you for being here. >> thank you, rachel. i always enjoy this. >> what do you make of the pentagon's proposal today? >> i'm a little bit more -- yeah, it's in this context. i agree, chuck hagel wants to spend more than we need. if you take the deficit problems seriously. on the other hand, it's a lot less than defense secretaries have pushed for in the past. so the time may have overrode it a little bit. i'm encouraged to have him talk about getting rid of some weapons systems and reducing the military. the biggest issue here is that he does seem to me to be agreeing at this notion of american intervention with significant military force in various parts of the world basically for geopolitical influence as opposed to a national defense, is a bad idea. i think it's a good thing that he wants to reduce the military to a point where we wouldn't be able to do some of these things. now, we need to continue to push for this. and what i'm afraid of is that members of congress are going to not only go on with him in the cuts but that

it's a situation that we are continuing to monitor here around the street. >> rachel, what more do weow about the reports that the government is also arresting opposition leaders? >> yes. that report came out early this week. one of the main newspapers here published what they said was a warrant for his arrest issued by the government. the government did not confirm that at the time, but today, president maduro and his speech at the rally without naming names said that police would be -- had orders to go and arrest the leader of the opposition. now, the president blamed him for stirring up this violence. he essentially says that this opposition leader is the one that's encouraging most of these students and young people to take to the streets. they started their demonstrations last wednesday, which they turned deadly. three people were killed and no one so far has been arrested in those deaths. you can hear behind me chanting. i am in one of the main squares right now. sorry. my cameraman to film. you can hear them chanting. these are anti-government slogages and people far from being

rachel nichols sat down with bode miller. she is in sochi, russia. what did he say, rachel?rd straight about that nbc interview. we also talked about just getting older. we are all dealing with this. it is particularly deadly for alpine skiers. before this olympics, no one passed the age of 34 had medaled at an olympic ns as. he shattered that at 36. he was very candid. >> ski racing in general, not necessarily something you get better at as your older. you are 36 and you managed medaling. >> it was one of those records or stats that's kind of funny. it's like underhanded. you are really old. good job. but i feel like i'm competitive with the best guys in the world that came in here. i came in really confident. i hope i can stay that way. >> we see you there and it just looks like you are talking to somebody. >> reporter: you had a pretty emotional interview with kristen cooper. got a lot of controversy in the states afterwards. >> i felt like it was me, not her. she asked questions and i feel like with her knowledge of my brother and the situation i felt like were pretty no
