it is a very narrow strait. they may be dirtying their shores but maybe it is worth it to them, i don't know. >> no, i think the way you need to think about it, . a, iran earns 90% of the foreign exchange and still earning quite a lot of money from the sale of oil. that is number one of the part of it goes through a pipeline for sure but a lot goes through the exact same straits that you saw 13 ships going through a day. in addition this is a fight perceived to be between the united states and iran or iran and israel. iran does that and all of a sudden it's a fight with the entire world, with the rest of the persian gulf, with every other country involved that would be impacted by this. so for them it would be globalizing a conflict with them they have managed to keep on the down low including with russia and china. i just don't see a payoff for them at all. melissa: i don't know. i was in the region. a fair amount of their neighbors are not already happy with them. it is not like they're the most popular kids o

of hormuz gets shut down here's a prediction if the strait of hormuz is shut down to free flowing oil traffic for sixty days or longer we will see an absolute panic in the world markets we will see oil supplies above ground getting depleted to really crisis levels i don't even know what the price would have to be in order to dent world consumption enough to account for all the oil that passes through the strait of hormuz so yes if we see a shock like that it really is going to be a matter that could happen at any moment time things progressing as they currently are i think that to answer your question directly somewhere around two thousand and thirteen to fourteen is where i'm looking at world oil consumption exceeding what can really be supplied because of depletion from conventional reserves ok and if other sources of energy from natural gas or solar or wind or nuclear did not come online c.n.n. asked how do you suggest that people prepare. well even of those last three you mention of we have solar nuclear wind and that's what that's giving us electricity which we don't have a short

they've extended it, it started out with sacramento valley, carquinez strait now expanded north and east bay hills, sonoma, napa, diablo range we could see winds gusting up to 30 mights an hour and humidity dropping below 20%. average highs for this time of year 60s and 70s. we are looking at today the oakland airport 84, a record forecasting a high of lower 80s. 10 to 12° above average even in the north bay with downsloping winds, maybe santa rosa could see a record as well. >>> in weather conditions similar to these crews are fighting a wildfire in the hills above santa barbara. here's a live look of the smoke and flames. smoke rising as crews try to gain control of the fire line. it started around 8 a.m. has burned 15 acres so far. homes are threatened. evacuations are taking place. six air tankers have been called to help slow the blaze. the cause remains under investigation. a captain says there are power lines down in that area. >> in the bay area firefighters put out a debris fire in newark. this fire burned through a fence and torched a truck. the cause is under investigation and

they say it will take them eight minutes to discover a spill athe straits of mackinaw. we're not convinced of that. another three hours to even respond to a spill at the straits of mackinaw, their nearest emergency response censor threehours away. at is not good enough and not a reason, it is a reason not to allow them to expand this pipeline. melissa: another thing people disagree with you say all the time there is constant inspections. they're always out there inspecting so it is not likely something would happen and they wouldn't know what is going on. >> sure. well, you know another example, kala ma zoo -- kalamazoo river hat a crack in it and this crack are up tured for five years before the rupture occurred and enbridge knew about it their assessment was not up to par. didn't meet certain standards. how can we trust the fact that their assessment of pelines are aurate? we tried to get this information from the pipeline safety administration and from enbridge and they won't provide it. it is considered national security risk. so we have in idea. we have to take the

the straits of harmuz, 17 million barrels of oil moving out of there today. moves out every day.13% of that. two million barrels come to the united states. so we have people. we have our navy over there. we have people on the ground. we're spending -- listen, if you rolled up what the cost of that two million barrel as a day that we get out of the straits of harmuz, it is $300 a barrel. it's insane what we're doing over there. these two guys that are running for president need to come up with a plan as to -- we can get off the two million barrel as a day from the persian gulf, straits of harmuz. we can get off that very easily with our own resources in this country. we have more oil. we have the natural gas that can go to heavy duty. what you need out of this third debate is a plan. >> t. boone pickens, always a pleasure. >>> there's one country doing energy the right way, china. that is one of the reasons everybody is talking about it. >> all of this borrowing from china -- >> change that's were taking place in china. >> china needs the united states. >> some emerging markets li

if you look at the straits of hormuz today, there's 17 million barrels of oil goes through the straits 2.4 million barrels of that is coming to us. we don't need that. we can go without it. now, if that's the case -- we've got to look at our whole situation different. our energy has -- we have more energy, cheapest energy in the world. and we have more energy than anybody else has in the world. >> but we're not deploying it right. in other words, you're saying if we took those 18-wheelers and in five years we can convert those to natural gas, it saves money but also saves the oil. we can reduce by 75% our opec intake? >> the 2.4 million barrels we get from the straits of hormuz, we have the fifth fleet over there, two directly in the persian gulf, two outside but close. all of that's going on, at the same time we're getting people killed every day. now we have this situation in libya and egypt, i would get out of the mideast is what i'd do. >> we can do it in five years? >> we can get out of the mideast a lot quicker than that. >> why isn't president obama stepping in and saying, we're

scheme do you think it would work that well i've suggested this as well in an article in the new straits. last week yeah that's fine i mean if you put money in that into the hands of the people. and make sure they as you say spend it in one way or another. then i think that gives a boost to the economy because they could increase their spending and therefore set up a demand for shoes and clothes and food and all the things that people spend money on and so that'll be good for business that's i think that's a good idea i actually suggested that the government give every household one hundred pound christmas present time limited so they need to do something with it can't just put it under the bed would that kind of policy be popular people were constantly hearing that there is no money there i think it would be popular i think everyone enjoys getting christmas presents and people really expect them from the government and we've seen a europe wide backlash against austerity what do you think prime minister david cameron's chances are being reelected if you continue if this territory continu

determine the devastation, millions of americans along the east coast wake up this morning, in dire straits. there are 5 million people who are without power, we know that in new york city, parts of lower manhattan, floodeds and that the stock exchange is not going to open today for a second straight day, the first time weather has forced the stock exchange to close for two days since the 1800s. here in ocean city maryland, we are trapped here, because there were roads that closed, bridges that closed, people are hunkering down. there is 8 states this morning that have snow. bad weather still out there. >> i know yesterday when we were checking in with you, there was a different scene, a lot of wind and rape. one story out of ocean city, iconic pier that's important to people, it's destroyed. have you heard from anybody or had a chance to talk to anyone or is is it a ghost town? >> reporter: the pier was destroyed and floated awaivment the bigger concern is the bay. the water is rushing up on to streets. it's making life very difficult, folks are stuck in hotels or stuck where ever they are

cheney when i say had him on and other talked about the idea, when you are in real economic dire straits, it does hurt your credibility around the world, or to charlie's point, as bad a we are, the rest of the world is worse. >> it hurts our credibility and makes people think at some point down the road they will n be able to pay for to enormous defense establishmentnd we'll wait them out and when they ka no longer afford it we'll go after whatever prize we want. >> the economic thing is really worrying to me. we'll have -- they'll probably raise taxes to dea with this stuff. and particularly, if president obama is elected. >> i hope so. >> i hope not. >> nl: it is argued that that is what will happen. >> that will be one of the worst things for the onomy. if that happens, when we raise taxes, i'm not talking plugging loopholes, really raising marginal rates on a family of four that makes $200,000, and lives on long island, hardly a billionaire, as the psident likes to call them, i think will really slow down the economy and i think in this country we'll have to get used to 10% unemploym

strait of hormuz for 2 to 3,000 years. the persian gulf has always been safe and secure. look at history. the only time it's become unsafe and has no security has been when foreign-- when for enforces have interfered in local affairs. when saddal hussein started fighting against us t started becoming unsafe. we have always provided safety with the help of our neighbors for persian gulf. and we will continue to do so. what are those warships doing there? what advantage do they have? it is only an expense. i'm telling you, you can't-- you can't, you can't defeat iran with warships. if someone thinks that they can defeat iran with war, it is obvious that they know nothing about politics. you can't defeat iran with war. there needs to be cooperation. >> rose: isn't it in your interest to convince everybody that you don't want to have enriched uranium that is larger than a certain percentage, you don't want to do things that suggest that you may have other interests. >> what should we do to satisfy the united states government

had briefed us that the chinese military were to begin extensive military maneuvers in the taiwan strait. this morning we were stunned to learn that they had fired two missiles that landed just 10 miles off the coast of taiwan. the taiwanese had a presidential election underway, and the chinese were using a not too subtle way of explaining to them what they wanted the outcome of that election to be. thises was an unacceptable form of military coercion and both the general and i agreed that a strong response was needed by the united states, something more than a diplomatic letter of protest. after some discussion we agreed to send two carrier battle groups to taiwan. within an hour the president had approved our recommendation and before the day was over, though carrier battle groups were underway steaming to taiwan. at a press conference the next day, i was asked would i not fear this would lead to military clash with china. i said, i was not concerned of that. and when asked why, i said, i think, well, because we have the best damn navy in the world. this was not an extravagant or hyper

istanbul lies on the bosporus, the narrow strait that unofficially separates europe from asia.he city has flourished for many centuries as an economic and political center. as constantinople, it was the center of the christian byzantine empire. as istanbul, it was the seat of the turkish-ottoman sultans. after the first world war, the last remnants of the ottoman empire disappeared. turkey, on the losing side, was reduced to its present size. in the 1920s, the political leader ataturk founded the modern turkish state. ankara, to the east, became its new capital. one of ataturk's major goals was econom modernization. development was focused on the cities. the effort led to mass migration from the countryside to urban areas. many villages were completely abandoned, especially in the 1950s and '60s. ( speaking turkish ) translator: this village of formerly 120 families now only houses 35. these 35 households mainly consist of elderly people-- old-age pensioners. i don't think anyone will stay, seeing what the village has come to.

the infrastructure was in dire straits. a lot of people didn't want to believe it had to be done, but it had to be done. what came out of those lawsuits by the upper chattahoochee river keeper were two consent decrees, focused on overflows. the intent is, city of atlanta, you need to keep the flows in the pipe. narrator: with the help of the funding the city raised, atlanta has been implementing an asset management plan that evaluates and addresses their infrastructure issues. hunter: it's a continuum. at one end, you have your regular maintenance that you do every day on the system, and at the other end, long-term planning so that every year we're repairing, replacing the right things, and we don't have to do it all at once, which is, quite frankly, what we're having to do in atlanta now. griffin: we have thousands of assets that we have to keep track of. we have to always know their condition and continuously plan for their refurbishment at the right time. one of the things we're required to do under the consent decree is

a fifth of the world's oil passes through the strait of hormuz. we're less than four weeks from election day and it could be harder for millions of people to vote this year when they show up at the polls. senior correspondent eric shawn is live in new york city. eric, what does that mean? >> reporter: alisyn, millions of voters may get a surprise when they show up to vote on election day. they will be told they are inactive. under federal law officials only place people on inactive voter list if they have not voted in two consecutive federal elections and failed to return postcards, verifying their address. there are nearly 21 million inactive voters across the country. california has the most with almost six million. texas nearly two million. florida, new york, illinois also top a million. critics say the list could create unnecessary roadblock to voting. >> what we've seen in the last two years, especially, is a proliferation of efforts by a select number of states to make voting more difficult for voters. and this could be startling, to many. >
