once completed trains could travel from turkey to singapore. but several vital connections are still missing. so now cambodia's modest railway line is getting a second lease of life. by 2013 the country wants to reconnect to its neighbor thailand. it's a huge investment in the future. in a country where these days the choice is between tuc tuc and four wheel drive, the return of the railways would be a real alternative. and it would help cut co2 emissions. >> it may not yet look like it yet, but this spot will soon be home to a trans-asian railway. for now, the so-called bamboo train is running. an improvised vehicle made of steel and bamboo, powered by small motors. villagers use them as taxis or to transport goods. these tracks use to connect cambodia with neighboring thailand, all the way to bangkok. now, the tracks end here, 50 kilometers before the thai border. no one knows what happened to the tracks. they vanished during the wars of the 1960s and 70s. at the border crossing poipet, large trucks carry goods between thailand, cambodia and

tracy is in singapore. hi, tracy. >> hi there, ross. well, i'll tell you, despite easing measures from central banks around the world, asian markets mostly traded to the down side. the shanghai composite, though, is the big out-performer, adding more than 1% in the trading session, but major banking shares dragged the hong kong market lower. the hang seng index just tucked below the break-even fight. and the nikkei inched lower as political uncertainty over a bond bill dampened the mood and analysts say easing actions from overseas central banks now puts new pressure on the boj to follow suit. the kospi lost about 17%. samsung electronics shares slipped 2% after record q-2 profit but saw longer-term worries over europe. the australian market ended slightly lower ahead of the u.s. jobs number release for june. last lastly, india's sensex showing some weakness, tucked just below break-even as well. back to you, ross. >> thanks, tracey. >>> i'll pick it up from here. is there any way of escaping ibor? it isn't just london that calculates r

guam, singapore. increasingly in the philippines. australia, creating operational constructs and concepts that integrate the pacific with the indian oceans. these are about diversifying our presence to make sure that we can respond rapidly. and that no one base or no one -- set area is overly vulnerable either politically or militarily. so i think it's an entirely appropriate approach. that will need will be sustained -- to be stained over a long pet -- sustained over a long period of time and we have to recognize that when you engage with a country intensely militarily it's a fraught political collage and it needs -- challenge and it needs constant attention and it's in many respects unnatural to base forces, yours toes on another condition -- your forces on another country's soil. we have to be very attentive to the domestic politics. that's what we've tried to do in okinawa. guam, australia, and the rest of the region. we've made clear that we do not want to go back to the old era of sort of traditional bases. but are looking for

our relationship with embraer is a key element. >> in singapore earlier this year you said you would consider a smaller aircraft -- smaller jet aircraft for a lighter version of the p-1 maritime surveillance aircraft we discussed. is that aircraft going to be an embraer? >> we haven't decided yet. certainly the mission systems we see in p-8 are scalable by design so we have some customers very interested in the p-8, the 737-based aircraft. other customers may be seeking a smaller airframe with scalable mission systems. so we're evaluating a number of different airframe alternatives all with the idea of providing an affordability capability match for our customers. >> the pentagon is putting in new guidelines for commercial products that are used for military applications. you guys produce two very notable commercial modified products. one is the p-8, and the other one is the tanker aircraft. how is that policy change going to affect you guys? >> it plays an important role in our commercial derivatives business strategy, and our customer at the pentagon rightly wants to understand tha

throwing more money after more money and i think that's one of the solution that has been worst singapore and finland it's working really really well we're nineteenth in the world they're one and two we were told most doctors and teachers the same amount which you know i was actually going to tell you it's a lot of army teachers going to countries to help us and as a certainly arguing that we have a part that republicans or democrats for that matter have a perfect plan i was merely arguing that that would be a better system you so that there are no measurable results we're going back to the d.c. opportunities scholarship program in d.c. kids have a graduation rate an average graduation rate of fifty five percent the kids who got those school vouchers have a graduation rate of ninety one percent let's look at florida florida tax credit plan. they've had wonderful results from that there's been several studies including one by northwestern that shows that they have a have had much better test scores than other performance rains based on children being able to go to the school that's right f

the timing of a merger is in the world in terms of in terms of education they have put finland and singapore culturally they have nothing in common physically they have nothing in common one is a big. country the other is a city state and at every level the one thing that those two countries have in common is the dock. teachers make the same i think that we're totally skipping over the fact of what republicans want to do let's talk about when they were on the plan once that you know mitt romney wants to basically give you a tax credit for the amount of money that your child would otherwise receive for education so that you can go to any school you want to which i was training for anybody. to have their kids out obama so he wants to go to you know i was making a joke about him. to give you a tax credit so that you can send your child to any school that you like so that there's competition within the schools to help increase those schools and underfunded areas to compete better which would you know get better teachers in there get better educations for low income children it doesn't work out t
