there is a huge iceberg below the surface of the sea here with this collusion case, and we just don't know what we don't know. but i was really interested to hear what you got out of former cia director john brennan. he pretty clearly said there, i think we'll see evidence that trump campaign officials knowingly colluded, try to walk it back a little bit, but -- >> i didn't miss it. i don't miss anything these days. betsy, i want to get you in for the last word, and i want to put one more question to you. i read this indictment and it was all about -- a lot about social media. it was about the high-tech campaign to hurt hillary clinton which had the effect of helping donald trump. i wonder if there is any reporting about cambridge analytica which jared kushner had a part in. do we know the activities cambridge analytica was engaged in and anything in the indictment in terms of their mission? >> this particular indictment doesn't refer to that. it also doesn't refer to any russian efforts that may have existed to micro target voters. the indictment starts to paint a picture of a russia

in the winter months the cafes and squares see fewer tourists than in high seas but here to arm and delicacies can be found in just about every corner of town the emptiness doesn't seem to bother those who visit at this time of year. first of all just much less crowded and second the temperature is much more bearable then the high season. back in pyra restaurants like for sure make the best of the season using almonds as a complement to their dishes. overseas right now as blossom season so we get a lot of forces welcome to the city. but the almonds actually picked around ten. so we're very lucky here to be able to use very fresh almonds. they have a slightly different kind of milk. and if you buy them. try. not to visit to me your can in winter wouldn't be complete without a visit to palmer's roman gothic cathedral which was built between the fourteenth and sixteenth centuries catalina must is responsible for preserving the cathedrals aswell. the name of those investments the onus in both a band this and that we have here two important contributions to the poem a cathedral from two internation

decisions so our correspondent has been speaking exclusively with the secretary general of the sea air here's what he found. after the court of arbitration for sport said no to forty seven russian athletes and coaches just as the winter games were getting underway perhaps the number one conclusion that came up on some people's mind was that presumption of innocence doesn't apply to the russian doping scandal well the cast secretary-general didn't literally say that the key law principle didn't work for cas but see for yourself how much it applied to the russians the fact that the unable to show the guilt of an athlete doesn't mean that the truth has nothing to do although with the case of the innocence this is a logical consequence and this is nothing bad about it mr reeve maintains that leaving the group of clean russian athletes on paper out of the winter olympics isn't a sanction also i found out that the refusal of the i.o.c. to get the dozens of russian athletes on board the olympics in some cases was a result of pure suspicion and other cases it was a result of some real evidence which

so the foundation turbine sits right into the sea bed. here we have a deepwater shelf. but there's a new technology that allows you to do essentially a floating turbine. as you would like an oil rig. it's floating and it's tethered to the sea bed with three high-tension cables. and the advantages that actually the wind resource is significantly better offshore. about 50% more. and when you put these, you can site them at 15 miles. what happens at 15 miles? you can't see them. they're out of sight. and you think about actually where this could go. 80% of electric demand in the united states is in coastal states, if you include the great lakes. and, of course, within coastal states like ours, our load is at the coast. san diego, l.a., san francisco, san jose, oakland. so -- and with these turbines, you get much, much bigger size. so typically on land in california, we see only about 2 1/2 megawatts. they're up to 8 megawatts today offshore, and there's a line of sight to even getting to 12 and 15-megawatt turbines offshore. by the way, very complimentary generation profile

and companies buying the petrol would mean by a lot turning the seize power of the sea rather into energy so far here few tidal power stations have been able to check a profit in the mail the main problem is that the generators affixed to the sea floor and that makes them expensive to install and maintain and our british and german team has taken a new approach working backwards from the idea of a ship's propellers. it's freezing outside but time to hit the water for david targets scott and his colleagues in scotland the work days just beginning the title stream generators on you but will they produce enough energy totted scott has been working on the project for two years. these turbines generate electric power what's special is that they are not fixed in place with this platform we can swing a turbine up out of the water we can inspect it we can see if the blade to damage the turbine needs cleaning we can run tests on it and if completely necessary we can change our whole rotor floating tidal stream generator is one of a kind there only a few places on the planet with tidal currents like those in c
