. >> during the 45-day trip, he was forced to rely on stringers and he faced gangs and drug smugglers. >> it's depressing whenever a smuggler awakes you up at 2:00 in the morning with a gun in his hand and a little girl is screaming because she's being raped and you can't do anything about it. they say whoever is going to do something is going to be next. and it's frustrating as a child to know that your mother and father are not there to protect you. >> after these details, he faced two months in a detention center where he faced deportation, and instead, he was released to his family in the u.s. more than 14 years later, jose has traveled to mc callum, texas, to be a voice for the children coming to the united states. >> what do we do when a child comes, running away from violence, where are we deporting them to? where are we going to send them back to? are we going to give them a death sentence to send them back from where they are running from? >> the immediate care of unaccompanied children, children applying for refugee status are facing delays. >> there's a lot of sickness that

. >> it's the whole idea how we change stringers. >> i started as a stringer/free lancer for the first six or seven years of my career. there's generally enthusiasm the organizations i worked for had a way of indoctrinated me into their system. except for voice of america. i learned a lot of my early reporting sort of as it values how to weigh sources from that bureau chief. all of my work passed through editors. it passed through cbs radio editors, washington post editors, "baltimore sun," san francisco chronical. that's how i learned. i see the same process happening with n.a.p., as they've got in afghanistan and islamabad, you got this amazing local staff. because they're representing what is perceived as an american organization, even though it's international. they're going out into dangerous areas. it's the editors. it's the internationally trained editors on the ground there who are working with them and it's also the folks back in cairo, new york and d.c. getting their material. the advantage is, it was just a local staff. we didn't have a staff with an internationally trained

the stringer freelance journalist who doesn't exclusively work for us he works for other broadcasters as well but generally in ukraine he's been the guy that's the filing but for us he's a stranger to being detained. not in may as a matter of fact he was detained when he was on his way from the town of maroun pl to donetsk he was stopped at a checkpoint by ukraine's national guard who wanted to see his i.d. and after they learned that he was working for a team that it was a journalist freelance journalist but still they were also detained him and he was in custody for thirty six hours again to a certain point or nobody knew about his fate in that case either he was released at that point and that's when he would decided to go back to the u.k. for the time being but he always made it clear that his intent was to head back to ukraine he feels really strongly about the country and the events there happening there but he's always said that his main purpose was not to work for anybody but to talk about the plight of the people of ukraine mean the the innocent bystanders who are witnessing

there's helen kirkpatrick and the man in the center is bill stringer he ways killed trying to get boo paris. one of the things that correspondents tried to do was to get into paris before anyone else. he was hit by an 88 shell. of course these are the shots i wanted to bring home to the family and friends. the little island was very quaint, a very old place, but fortified in several ways. we discovered that the beaches in the area especially when the tide was out, would be high and dry. they put those sticks in the sand to keep our planes from landing. we found a family of three brothers, and even the tal blond one was a boy, i found out later, because their grandmother was taking care of them. their parents, i was told, were killed at the battle of st. lowe. one afternoon rather late, i walked out, because as the sun was setting, i can't get some interesting shots of the island from the seaside, because they have an extremely high tide here, and would leave the island high and dry, but the tide would come in real fast and there was always danger of quicksand, so i didn't stand in one

we have talked about efforts -- we had scott stringer here, talking about ways of getting kids in highool -- and the new york public education system continues to suffer, but getting them trained in the technology things they need. >> i think it can become a technology hub. as i said earlier, almost 300,000 are employed in technology companies. we have been growing at a rate of 21%, which is almost double the national average. there are a lot of different programs that are being worked on. we have a program that is training high school students in less-privileged areas to be exposed to technology, to -- to learn the skills, and that's one of many other programs that are being run, so i think -- you know, as we think about the jobs of the future -- >> yeah. >> -- and to keep the talent, we need to make sure that new yorkers have the opportunity to join these companies. >> we talk about how the federal government struggles with these kinds of programs, and we have discussed how cities tend to do a better job, because you are closer to the needs and resources. great conversation, eric. >>

this is 287, so these are the stringers.ou can see they're wider here than there, so that tell us which direction it's going. >> this is the video of how a buk would operate. the operator sees the object, then they shoot. we're just going to show this. this is a russian re-enactment of how a buk would work, everybody. this is not actually what happened on this day. the plane is trying along. the buk locks on to it. >> this is going 400 miles per hour. and this is going three times the ped speed of sound. very fast. at that speed very difficult for this missile to actually hit the aircraft. this is out of size proportionally as well. >> of course. >> in this case what it does is actually explodes here. >> how far is this from the plane? >> 150 to 200 meters. >> so the war head explodes here. >> and launches pieces of shrapnel out. >> to hit the plane. >> it already has that momentum. these how fast these plugs are hitting the aircraft. this is where that door was in the compartment we saw in the other picture. >> and it does

the corey stringer institute at the university of connecticut, as you know, has released nine recommendationsor lessening incidents and reducing long-term effects of dramatic rain injury --traumatic brain injury, and the experience of the states in adopting those recommendations is very, very mixed. connecticut has implemented only for. most states have implemented even fewer of them. there is a lot of work to be done in educating parents, trainers, but also public officials, as to what can be done. you know, one of the areas of meury that was unknown to concerns respect riding -- horseback riding, which is in fact the leading cause of sports ,elated traumatic brain injury of all recreational sports. think about it. iding is the leading cause. why? a lot of young writers are wearing helmets need a velvet -- s are of young rider wearing helmets made of velvet with no real protection. think of a football player wearing a velvet helmet, nothing more. i am planning to introduce a measure, which i am naming for a o'donnell,, kristin from connecticut, who was thrown from a horse while riding, suffe

so tom and i were second stringers. tom and i met, and i've told the staff last night, almost the first thing he said to substantively was, lead, we're going to make every decision jointly. well, having come from the congress where the chairman has all the power and the ranking member has none of the power, and where partisanship is very strong, and staffs are chosen on a partisan basis, i was somewhat flabbergasted. it was an extraordinary gesture on tom's part, just extraordinary. and i look back on it as one of the most important decisions in government that i have encountered. because when you think about all the things that flows from the fact we had a unanimous report and were able to work together and all the legislation passed and all the changes in the institutional structure of government, of all the budget changes, all of that flowed from tom's initial offer. and i think it's quite extraordinary. so i became acquainted with a man who a vision of where he wanted to go, and how to get there. he taught me patien
