host: steve stevens with the northern kentucky chamber joining us via skype. thank you. we continue on with your phone calls asking you to tell us how the government shutdown has impacted you. from hawaii, here's ed good morning. caller: good morning pedro. i talked to you years ago. my question i think this is good, the shutdown. here's why. it personally doesn't affect me as much because i'm into business. it affect every one. what i'm saying here, this would help people rethink, reevaluate. our government is taking in $2.4 trillion a year and spending $3.6 trillion. any business will go out of business. i am for the obama healthcare. people should give that a chance. i think issues also -- the u.s. doing the right thing by taking those crazy guys from africa personal. i think the u.s. should not only take bad guys out of the streets internationally. the u.s. and western countries, europe included, should really support those three governments. otherwise those guys more will pop up. i really think the u.s. is doing a good job on that. they can't let the government handl

with the u.s. government shutdown and looming debt ceiling crisis, the u.s. image abroad is taking a beating. joining us via skype from istanb istanbul, martin is with us. there's a perception the u.s. is ungovernable, lurches from crisis to crisis. how does this affect the image overseas? >> good morning, early morning, from istanbul. it doesn't help. we've seen this a couple years ago when we had a similar situation. i don't think the impact of the shutdown is significant yet. the asian markets have not yet been particularly depressed. i think they're up in early trading. we'll see how that pans out into europe. so no panic in the markets yet. but from an image point of view, you're right, it doesn't look good. those who run businesses really want to be left alone to get on running their businesses. we had the sequester impacting u.s. gdp growth in the first half of the year. instead of being up 2% or 3%, it's been in the 1%, 1.5% range. so, i think people are troubled by it. it's not good from an image point of view. the government does look like it has nowhere to go. the crucial issue is how long will it take

. >> jean paul joins us over skype from france. thank you for being with us.re you surprised that syria submitted the report a couple of days early? >> well, it's a couple of days. they had one month since the opcw took a decision on 27 september. so yes, they are early. but that being early doesn't really matter all that much. the next decision is by 15 november, and by then the opcw will have to decide how syria is going to destroy its chemical warfare agents. >> you say it doesn't matter. is it a sign of good faith that they are trying to do what the international community hopes they'll do? >> absolutely. my comment was on the two or three days early, in terms of the report. it's a sign that the - that they are doing their best. but they are cooperating now with the inspectors of the opcw. together with them, they are preparing their reports. it is together with them that they have prepared the proposal for the destruction. everything really now is going to hinge on how the warfare agents themselves will be destroyed. >> as syria moves forward here, do you

this is the founder of the professional society of drop journalists, with us via skype from illinois. lot of people, when they hear this will cringe and say, "why should journalists use drones? ". >> to put it simply the april is we want to help inform the public. government agencies had the opportunity to have unprecedented eye in the sky, but many times that information doesn't make it to ordinary people. so part of the goal of drone journalism is to bring the perspective to inform the public. >> there has been cases where it was successful. journalists used the machines as drones to survey crowds and see how large protests were. what about the concerns of privacy though? >> privacy is a concern. i understand the aircraft has the potential to go on private land and film people in their backyards. honestly, having dealt with the technology, i think it's a little overblown. the equivalent that we are dealing with cannot stay aloft for more than 15 or 20 minutes at a time. they are susceptible to changes in the weather. you need good conditions to operate them, and pretty big skill set

to tell us all about it, we have jordan jones via skype with her mom, jessica.hy did you start doing your own moves? >> because i was dancing. >> mom, what were you thinking when this all was happening? >> i was just thinking she's doing her own thing. she does it every time she hearse moushears music. she just dance. >> did she eat a bunch of candy before going on stage? >> every day. >> what other type of thing does she do? she does ac ds en runs track? >> sometimes. >> sometimes? ♪ >> do you think jordan could show us some tap moves? >> sure. ♪ ♪ broadway baby >> that's perfect! >> 'tis the season for tricks. >> he thought it was a good idea to dress up as a burglar and go to someone's >>> a laptop can get really boring to look at. it's either silver or black or white. leave it to this artist in poland to show us how to make it a little more visually attractive. in this place he's using spray paint to just give it a little umph. >> does this damage the innards? >> no, because you should use masking tape around the laptop. and he uses a newspaper to give it a

with the times. joining us now via skype is the author and - author and business analyst jordan. it's good to see you. >> great to be with you. >> what do you think of this? i mean, i laughed when i read that they are concerned about innovation, when bill gates is considered the innovator of the century. >> he is, but... >> why now. >> microsoft is falling behind. it's not as cool as when it went public in 1986. they have been overtaken by google, apple, facebook, other companies moving in the mobile area. i mean, microsoft has been trying to respond with the surface tab the and bought nokia's telephone business for $7 billion, but they are trying to catch up with android, and facebook. that's why there's a lot of criticism. gates basically has not been active for a while. he's been running the gates foundation. big investors are saying, "get him out of there", basically as being chairman of the board. they are bringing in a new ceo. the current one is about to retire. >> do you think this will happen? >> it could. gates has been disengaged. he's down to his last $12 billion. he h

with us here from st. louis, missouri via skype here.nis, i want to first make clear that no one is saying that ride of the century riders were involved in what happened there in new york. but when you see this video, what goes through your mind first? it was disgusting to see that play out the way that it did. road rage incidents happen every day. and things get to a point. that escalate to where they shouldn't. no one should have to go through that. no young child should have to see their parent pulled from a vehicle and beaten like that. whatever happened before that to make it get to that point, no one can really say. it should never get to that point. >> you mentioned road rage. road rage is impulsive. it's in the moment. but some riders go out looking to make someone angry or to taunt someone because they want internet fame. tell us more about that. >> well. there's kids that want their 15 minutes of fame orric that quick glory. a lot of people are filming with the go procameras and they want to try to impress their friends. i gues

us to follow them to the police station. i was very grateful there was another woman also detained, so i was not completely alone. i was not completely alone because i had on skype with a journalist from the netherlands. we got to the station, and they basically told us that we did sign a declaration. they wanted to know who my guardian was. >> that's a male guardian. we have to explain to our viewers in the usz. that's your father or husband. >> it's not just a male guardian. it's your -- you have one guardian, yes. and so i have nobody else in this country that would qualify for that position. i ntszed that i did not want to have my guardian have anything to do with it. i took responsibility for my actions, and i wanted to sign for my actions. in the end they actually allowed me to do that. they did have my estranged husband come in, but they allowed me to leave. i wasn't released into his custody or anything like that. >> just a quick last slot for those of us in the united states who may not understand this. it's not just about driving itself. there are a lot of other limitations on women, things they're not allowed to do without the guardianship or sponsorship o

joining us by skype is the dean of aviation and public services at utah university. in our google hangout is trevor tim an activist withhe electronic freedom foundation, and steve, a drone pilot and the superintendent of shark, an animal protection group. pierre, you are an army intelligence captain and a drone pilot, and really there are so many other uses. give us the 101 on the vast array of drones. >> sure, lisa. number one they come in all shapes and sizes, so they could be as small as the size of your hand or as big as a 737 bowing. >> wow. >> they can fly for minutes or days on end. and thirdly, the sen source you put on them. you can have full-motion imaging or just to detect heat. in the military we use them number 1 for lethal purposes, but that's a small sliver of what the military uses drones for. in most cases we're using them to gather intelligence. so as we transition, i think we'll see that drones can be used for firefighting, for search and rescue, and border patrol, and lots of domestic uses as well. >> let's talk about private drones. there is a misnomer that they are just in the pursue of the milita

with a jail sentence. she's joining us now from dubai and the united arab emirates. she's on skype.this two years ago, and what was the impetus here, what was the motivation? because you knew that you could potentially face arrest and you had to do jail time. >> okay. i think there's been misunderstanding. most of the news channels they call and think it's a demonstration over a massive protest which the same thing they thought, but it's not. it's a symbolic day. just to tell them we're serious. and i'm not even a leader in this movement. i'm a big supporter of these women in saudi arabia because i don't live there anymore. >> sure. you're very modest. i understand, but tell us why you did what you did because it took a lot of courage what you did by getting behind the wheel and posting that on youtube. why was that important to you? >> it was because they told us when we were encouraging women 0 go out and drive, they told us there will be men in the street to the harass you, rape you and kill you. i was just trying to show women it's okay. you can go out and drive. i drove twice.

us via skype. she is an nbc executive, she headed npr before this, she was at cnn before that. what's twitter doing with that? >> well twitter has increasingly over the last few years making their partnerships with media companies, media outlets a bigger and bigger strategy . the idea is to integrate those services. a lot of which as you importanted out she already has experience with and basically get them to integrate twitter in all kinds of ways. news gathering, actually using twitter as a reporting tool to using twitter to distribute their news to readers, to as you do doing on-air polls, things like that. >> we definitely use it, there's no question that journalists have begun to use twitter, breaking news it helps you sometimes it hurts you but i can help you confirm stories. how does this all relate to my viewer who's looking to wonder if they should buy twitter and other individuals, who shouldn't buy stocks, we buy stocks of names we know. what's the relationship between this interesting business strategy with partnerships and all of that versus twitter the company that's supposed to be there t

with frank langfitt from n.p.r.'s shanghai bureau earlier today via skype. a warning: some viewers may find the report disturbing. >> sreenivasan: thanks for joining us.l us what happened in the most recent incident in the human province. >> what happened was there had been a battle over developments. basically they're building a park as part of a $1.6 development project to boost local economies. you see this all over china. and in order to do this they had to knock down a village. and one of the farmers was asking for a fair bit of money, there's some dispute over that but the government was only willing to give about $33,000. and the farmer like other farmers we have talked to and others we've talked to, they're going lose their land, they're in their 40s, they don't have much else going for them and it appears he snapped and lit himself on fire. he's still alive, in a coma. but what's striking about it is that he's not the only guy. since 2009 there are over 50 cases of this. >> sreenivasan: why are they doing this? >> i think when we've talked to people, family members and certainly speaking to one person i talked to who doused himself with gasol
