research institute to be here to fund. me and our walk was supposed to commence fully in him much well that's respect this is the only institute. i listen to this issue this is the oil and gas research institute in nigeria yes that's a good resource joe you can come out to do research if you want to come here you really see a lot just. inside you do your research this is and this will live by the president not the nicest time not mr president i'll be for the republican idea. that is what we have. port harcourt three million inhabitants the principal city of the delta and growing exponentially expansion it's like the nigerians who work on the platforms often live here whenever. we're in the car of patrick and we met on the f.p.s. . he's head of the control room a major post two weeks at sea two weeks ashore he suggested that we stop to visit his home just now patrick is off to fetch his children from school. normally. gone out for a drive but. it's difficult for you to throw somebody here because there was a lot of stories

i listen to this is a true this is research institute in nigeria yeah that's a good resource joe you can come out to do research if you want to come here it will be you see a lot just. you do i would say this is so and this was led by the president not the nicest and most mean is the president i'll defer to the public and i do this through. that does what we. would it would look would not give up the. port harcourt three million inhabitants the principal city of the delta and growing exponentially expansion it's like the nigerians who work on the platforms often live here when they're ashore. we're in the car of patrick i utah and we met on the f.p.s. . he's head of the control room a major post two weeks at sea two weeks ashore he suggested that we stop to visit his home just now patrick is off to fetch his children from school. normally would gone out for a drive but you don't know it's actually difficult for you to trust somebody here because it was a lot of stories there by. people who are employed. or drive your house needs they could live with could not nor that it. will for a

plus of from the economy to internet freedoms the trends research institute has hit the nail on the head predicting countless trends in the past year and if you thought that was impressive you ain't seen nothing while the director of the trends research institute gerald celente on the show to give us his predictions for two thousand and twelve and he was the candidate who promised change three years later many americans are asking for a refund for the promises that were broken and republicans are now rallying together with one mantra anyone but obama so as the u.s. gears up for another intense election season are voters ready to put their money on another leader all right for now that's going to do it but for more on the stories we covered go to our t.v. dot com slash usa also check out our you tube page we post all our interviews there in full and that's you tube dot com slash r t america you should also follow me on twitter at christine for sound the big picture is coming up in a half hour but for now have a great night and also have a great weekend. you know sometimes you see a story

john vandeberg is director of the primate center at texas biomedical research institute. do you think there ought to be a limit on how much research any single creature should be subjected to? >> what may have happened to them in the past is irrelevant to the high quality of lives that they have here. >> reporter: but that quality of life is a matter of intense debate. and part of the emotional argument over whether experimenting on chimps is morally and scientifically justified to save human lives. you've been forced into a public debate. i mean, let's be honest, otherwise, you wouldn't be sitting here with me. >> absolutely. >> reporter: dr. robert lanford is a scientist at texas biomed who has used chimps in research for 27 years. >> the american people have had the wrong opinion that these animal are in bitty cages with no windowses. >> reporter: like this one shown in hidden camera footage shot by peta at a different lab in the '80s. which shows chimps in tiny cages. and at another lab, the humane society went undercover and shot this footage. the chimp terrified at t

the report was issued from the national research institute in stockholm. >> this report shows that germany fell container fleet, the world's largest, -- germany's's container fleet, the world's largest, plays a strong role in drugs and arms struggling. >> containers help product move faster and cost less and give company more products. they also make it next to impossible to see what is actually inside the containers. >> customs agents only inspect about 2% of all the containers in the harbors. the rest received a superficial check of the cargo manifest. when officials to find something, like here, it is often a coincidence. many ships abandon their national flags in favor of flags of convenience. >> the biggest problem i see our flags of convenience. the most responsible flags are transferring responsibilities to other countries. and that is promoting this illegal trade. >> more exchange of information and inspections among customs authorities are needed to fight drugs and weapons smuggling. >> winter in many parts of northern europe has been relatively mild this year, the temperatures ha

the video was shot by the monterey bay aquarium research institute. these animals are especially adapted to live in this habitat. over the last 20 years, that oxygen level has been getting lower. >> everything in the ocean needs to breathe oxygen just like we breathe oxygen in the air. in oxygen goes down, things suffer or die in extreme c willm >> william of stanford university says klit change is definitely happening underwater and many scientists believe it is linked to what is happening above the surface. >> it appears the rate of change is increasing. it's getting more serious as time goes by. >> so scientists and engineers are working together to try to measure the effect of the declining oxygen. they are using a remote control vehicle about the size of a vox wal gonl bus. it's guided by the scientists. >> the scientists will sit there let's get that one. >> by just looking at manages thousands of feet deep. this is barrel eye, the holes above eighth mouth is for breathing. the eyes are big green balls behind a transparent shield. the eyes rotat

economic and security alternatives and is a founding principle of the democracy collaborative a research institute institution to be focused on initiatives that promote the democratization of wealth and most recently he's the author of america beyond capitalism a book that has been described as one of the most important books of the decade it's my pleasure to welcome fessor ghar alper of it's good to be here thought of you're with us to conversations the great minds. america beyond capitalism we're talking about systemic changes how do you what's the system and how does a good change grow there's a you know basically in history systems are defined by who owns the capital who owns the wealth feudalism the tiny elite held the land in the capital in ordinary capitalism it was small business owning the capital and defining the competitive capitalist. state socialism or communism was the state owning the wealth and we've got basically corporate dominated capitalism a system that's not very democratic because you know we live in washington here the lobbyists are up there swarming and big money is there

but in the 2010, last year, sienna college research institute poll, ike once again moved back into the top ten. moving aside some guy named kennedy. i'm not quite sure. the results have been significant. the revisionists have focused mainly on ike in the foreign policy sphere. they have not focused as much on ike in the domestic sphere. particularly ike and civil rights. now, if you tried to do ike and civil rights, you readily understand why that is. it sometimes can be just maddening. who's the real ike here? who's the real guy? some people have argued that eisenhower met civil rights reform with ambivalence if not outright opposition. they say that he failed to develop comprehensive policies and strategies required to implement school desegregation in the south. it was this failure, some revisionists maintained, that resulted in the crisis that erupted in 1957 in little rock. now, there's no debating. these scholars' assertion that eisenhower was certainly less than enthusiastic in his support of school desegregation. what i will suggest here today is that their claim that the presi

in reaction to an escalating territorial dispute but apart from the church of the political research institute of southeastern asian studies expects a stronger reaction in the coming weeks the u.s. has claimed that this is about to maintain the freedom of navigation and it is partly the interest of the u.s. but i think if we look deeper this is not only about to maintain or to defend in the navigation this is about to come out of the rise of china and when you talk about the rise of china this is not about economic rise but it's also about the rise of military capability for beijing the issue of the u.s. engagement with the east asia we defeat bins and also or intervention in the south china sea issue that is very important for the chinese government chinese government has perceives. you as part of. preserving national interest so i think we should expect or anticipate some sort of rest from beijing in the next couple of weeks perhaps we might see something coming out of beijing in regard to. but i don't hesitate to log on to our website and so you don't com it's the best place to look for the

research institute to be here to fund this sounds to me and i walk was supposed to commence the following day in much well as was picked.

there were 30 research institutions that had foreign owners in china. why are we going to china? because we can get the skills? equally, we cannot get the skills here anymore. it is so difficult to get people into this country. i have three children and none of them have done science. i can say that our children are not studying science and engineering anymore. it might be a generalization, but our immigrants love going into these professions because of the big skills mismatch that we have in this country. >> well, thank you very much. i think that this has been a good start. [applause] thank you all. [captioning performed by national captioning institute] [captions copyright national cable satellite corp. 2012] >> ok. we are very grateful to secretary bryson for finding time to be with us this morning. obviously, he is the cabinet officer that is most focused on the issues that are before us today. we have already had some very good discussion of them. there are two reasons why he is the ideal person for us to hear from and interact with a the bit. one, his current job. it goes

come is that there's a kind of ecosystem where large firms, supply chains interact with the research institutions and the scaling institutions. almost like a seamless way. am i right? i mean, aren't we reading too much into what other countries are doing, or are they really are affecting this am and we tend to be more compartmentalized or stagnated business separate? you described some helpful appliances with the community colleges. is that the norm, is it the exception? >> from my standpoint it's something that is developing here. they need is becoming more acute because of hiring needs, also because of the increased skills associated with those new manufacturing jobs, if you will. let me say, looking at models around the world, we mentioned germany. i've had experience in switzerland. take a look at japan but all these countries have vibrant manufacturing sectors, and they all have very good skilling. i like the term. the skilling piece of the. at the research and it's hard to argue with the u.s. research establishment, but at that skilling, the craft, the community college, polytechnique as yo

. >> i am a senior research scientist get the institute for research and evaluation. i am here today to talk about hot smoke free outdoor spaces. smoking cigarettes is an addiction. the tobacco industry manipulates nicotine levels to hook people. 70% of smokers want to quit. when more areas are declared a smoke-free, more smokers quit. second-hand smoke and outdoor areas may be irritating, but it is also toxic. there is no safe level of exposure to secondhand smoke, and people that are exposed are at risk of developing the same illnesses as smokers, including lung cancer, heart disease, end of month. -- and asthma. and her example, a 2007 study from the waste management association by a stanford research team demonstrated that a non-smoker compared to someone smoking two cigarettes over an hour outdoors is exposed to roughly the same amount of secondhand smoke as one hour inside. the smoke dissipates rapidly when it is windy, but the plaza in question is also a densely populated. an hiv-positive people that smoke or exposed are greater risk of developing opportunistic

you do not want to be svgs ri samford research institute where you have siri on your phone. they invented it, sri. you don't want to be best in class -- if i have a project, apple says, we'd like a phone that talks back to you. i don't want to say give me the best in my company that does this. i say don't give me the best in class. who wants to be the best class with people? i want best in the world. what kirk carlson does when he gets a project, he goes and says, who is the best in the world now. i see that in my business. i go to real clear politic, i want to read about the world, i can read the best columns in the world. things are made in the world. the whole idea of developed and developing countries, again, very 20th century. we're going to the world of hies and lies. high imagination enabling countries and low imagination enabling countries. we're the highest in the world. we have want to stay that way. it's where products are imagined and then orchestrated where the big projects are. and by the way, in cupertino, when that's going on, not everyone works for apple, bu

robert jones heads the research institute.porter for "the washington post." here we go. what's going to happen down at this? i like the new term, mitt romney call it is a quiet room to do tax policy. now we'll have a quiet ranch for religion policy. >> the main thing this says is the decline of an older model of a power brokering. gone are the days that a group of men are going to sit in a room and decide who the candidate is going to be. let's look at where this is happening. this is the last stand in many ways. >> does this bother the protestants. they have two catholics to choose from. the convert of newt gingrich or the long-time catholic rick santorum. and these are a protestant organization. >> is that going to be a problem for them? >> it obviously is. >> how much of it is mor mom? >> that's a good question here. we have seen that mitt romney has failed to sew it up time and time again. candidates up and down and up and down. certainly on the issues -- >> when does he come down? >> romney? he's been pretty steady, but h

is that there's a kind of ecosystem where large firms and supply chains interact with the research institutions and the skilling institutions almost like a seamless way. am i right? are we reading too much into what other countries are doing or are they really protecting this and we tend to be more compartmentalized were segmented business support? >> you describe some helpful alliances with the community colleges. is that the norm, is that the exception? >> from my standpoint it's something that's developing. it's becoming more acute because of the hiring needs and also because of the increased skills associated with those new manufacturing jobs if you will. let me say that looking around models in the world we mentioned germany had experience in switzerland you take a look at japan all these countries have fiber and manufacturing sectors and they all have very good skilling. i like that term. the skilling piece. at the research and it's hard to argue with the research established, but at that skilling, the craft the community college, the polytechnic as you refer to them, that piece of the pu

majority in syria this is even recognized by qatari institutes of research who actually did some research although they were very critical of the president and asked him to step down. instituted some research showing that this is a saying that fifty five percent of the syrians refused the president to step down and that this is the case i mean if the white house say fifty five percent i could imagine the number could be higher than that anyway so i didn't write that you have to say that a moment ago as you're speaking here we've been showing pictures of assad dressing what appears to be massive crowd of people below let's let's take the attention away from as you said perhaps a fifty five percent of support for him it's now up to the arab league to tell the world whether damascus is sticking to its promises to end the crackdown on protesters but just now one of the league's observers have said the regime is guilty of war crimes is this what we're likely to hear from the arab body after its mission to syria comes to an end in just over a week. well let's see let's see the arab league there

the german institute for economic research has lowered its growth forecast. expects gdp growth of 0.6%. narrowly avoiding a recession. the silver lining is growth should be up and running by 2013 as long as politicians find a convincing solution to the debt crisis. >> germany's economic recovery has ground to a halt. the german institute for economic research, the diw, is forecasting less growth than in previous years. >> this is not really a surprise development. after a deep recession, the economy went into recovery. now it has leveled off. but the eurozone debt crisis has made matters worse. is causing problems, particularly in the year rose done, but beyond that. >> slower worldwide growth will have repercussions for the german economy. >> german exports will be hit by the global economic slowdown. first and foremost, it is the year of crisis that is acting as as we export 60% of our goods to foreign countries. >> and domestic demand is said to decline. experts say that is because most germans do not believe the eurozone debt crisis will not -- will be re

today they are living at texas medical research institute, available to be used for future experimentsozen other chimps were shipped here in 2010 after a ten-year hiatus from invasive testing. there was a public outcry over the move reigniting the emotional debate over whether invasive research should be banned. dr. robert lanford has used chimps in research for 27 years. you have been forced into a public debate. let's be honest. otherwise you wouldn't be here with me. >> absolutely. the american people have had the wrong opinion that these animals are in a dark room with no windows. i want them to see who we are and how we take care of the animals and why we are doing it. >> reporter: this is where you keep the chimps used for research. >> we call this the research village. >> reporter: we attached small cameras to the cages to get close-ups of the chimps. the lab says they will live in social groups with indoor and outdoor enclosures. there is enrichment and interaction with behaviorists. >> you will see me reassuring them and pant grunting. >> reporter: you do what? >> it's pant gr

discuss this latest development let's now cross live to pay the interest of all on political research or at the institute of southeast asian studies thanks very much indeed for being with us here in the program so having invited u.s. forces money is now urging china to accept philippine dominance in the disputed territory so how's it going to go down with beijing you think. cause a complication you know in the least and cheap between defeat the u.s. and china i think there has to be no move on the part of the u.s. to. use. beans and. some sort of opposition. but what it would be you know. this could be about to strengthen me between the philippines and the us i think the cost impact on china is role in the region. well yeah also an interesting fact that these territories or the territories that are in question are also said to have vast oil reserves so there is more than just a question of reputation there for beijing is there. you would you say can you repeat again yes absolutely well the whole situation i mean the situation of the territories there are in question also have vast oil reserves so i mean.

, he said something i like use the tax code, invest in manufacturing, core research in our research institutions, invest in education, roads infrastructure. frankly republicandemocrats, should be able to agree in short order we need to reinvest in building our roads, our bridges, our water and sewer systems those are things it is not a democratic bridge or republican bridge, and the president spoke to that last night. >> representative brown i apologize we are just running out of time i have to cut you off there, but i thank you both for taking time to join us this morning i am sure this dialogue will continue through the day and through the days ahead. representative brown and edwards thank you. >>> as expected republican presidential candidates were not impressed with the state of the union address. president obama is proposing more of the same. newt gingrich responded saying in part that the president proposed nothing in the way of policy changes that will get us to robust job creation and dramatic economic growth. coming up in 20 minutes political strategist, peter fen and jim will debate th
