. >> the enterovirus may be linked to a disease out of taiwan. that virus are 40 percent more likely to develop type one diabetes. >> joining us now is the doctor from comprehensive medicine. both of these cause illness and doib and that is on the rise around the world? >> this is an interesting observational study. they looked on seven years from 2000 to 2007 and looked at the enterovirus and looked at the rise of juvenile diabetes. there was a correlation between the two. >> no one knows why type one diabetes strikes? >> no. the enterovirus attacks the beta cells in the pancreas that are responsible for producing insullin. there is a situation where the body attacks the pancreas. >> the hope resulting from this study, if you can figure out what triggers the diabetes, you might be able to get a vaccine or treatment to prevent it? >> yes, the vaccine is always something that tantillizes in the future. in the season was spring and fall, when the virus tends to strike, it increased the risk of juvenile diabetes and if there is a possibility we keep

if they do, people in taiwan are looking at hong kong.e country, two systems does not work in hong kong, you can forget it for taiwan. for the protesters, this is their moment. either hong kong will claim its rights as a democracy or it is going to be repressed ike every other city in china. it will become a normal chinese city. if they lose this battle, and i do not think anyone thinks they are going to win completely, but if they are completely squashed here, it will be an ominous sign. fromwant to bring in cindy ucla. she is a professor of geography and the author of the book, "china on the move." i wonder if you can comment on what is going on right now in hong kong and also, more importantly, why is it that, in a place that has never really known representative democracy, why is now different? >> that is a very good question. hong kong was a british colony and, for more than 150 years, there was no democracy. the queen appointed the governor who came to hong kong. systems has 17o years of history. this is a short history of hong kong

what they do in hong kong will effect taiwan as well.e importantly, as life long activists, i know the normal outcome is failure. put protests like this can afford to fail 100 times. but the regime can only afford to lose one, there's no easy way out, but they should continue. continue. >> so interesting talking with you, and so appreciative you came in tonight. >> my pleasure. >> jpmorgan chase says a cyber attack this summer was far worse than originally thought. the hackers got into about 1 million customer counts. but now with papers filed they say the number is closer to 8 million. the hackers access name, home, and phone numbers but the bank says there is no evidence they got account numbers password or social security numbers. up next, growing concerns about dozen oz student whose disappeared in mexico after a violent confrontation with police. plus, undocumented immigrants taping to become doctors what they promise to give the united states, in return. going to turnover ebola, how jake ward looks at disease that is are far more c

jimmy carter had shocked taiwan by unilaterally breaking relations in the middle of the night. i had to pack off the american ambassador, close the american embassy and deal with mass riots, demonstrations and so forth and so on and set up the -- for the first time in u.s. diplomatic history instead of the american embassy, the american institute in taiwan which was quite a challenge. thank goodness we had an act of congress to back that up. but i was deeply involved in this post traumatic setup of the american institute when the phone rang and my secretary said tel aviv is calling. i said they got us mixed up with a business outfit. she said no it is the american ambassador, mr. lewis. so i got on the phone and i said i want you to be my dcm. i said i am deeply, deeply appreciative of the offer but i have never been to israel and never studied israel. i don't know the culture and the language. i want you to be my deputy and given the circumstances that i'm in i don't think my superiors would release me for this because we are in this interesting challenging new phase. the next

what about taiwan? i mean, taiwan is in a very, very tenuous situation now. >> neil: so the disguise comes off their real intentions are known. >> the real questions we've always asked the economist, can you have a free market economy to the sense they do and have a repressive political government. i'm not sure that works out so well. >> neil: i'm amazed how long it has lasted. i want to expand this. it was just about a week ago that beijing celebrated the success of alibaba. tracy, it does seem mutually incompatible, but it is and has been the success of china to have the best of two worlds. the communist state and the capitalist state. that attracts big money. those days are running out. or are they? >> i think you made a great point about how the people are changing. hongsd doesn't have a high end luxury tax. so why do they go to buy all their stuff? hong kong. they want to be like hong kong actually. this must be so weird for the chinese people watching this. they're probably cheering on hong kong s

there's a big demand for luxury vehicles in asia and as you pointed out, in taiwan, the gas prices, fore much lower. obviously it's hard to remain competitive with chinese markets and asian markets if our gas prices continue to rise. how do we compete there? >> well, you know, iá's interesting, a lot of things go in cycles as you reported many tisqj on your program. the price of gas here and there and everywhere goes up and goes down. but the emerging markets are very bifurcated. áhere's a big difference between the wealthier markets, more such as perhaps india, taiwan, malaysia, that type of thing. the type of vehicles that would move there -- i was recently over in hong kong and even though they have i much more robust economy, i could tell you there's not a lot of ford f-150 pickup trucks motoring around the streets of hong kong. it's going to be a challenge to fit the right automobile into the right market. >> michael, thank you very much. >> thank you for having me. >> kelly. contacts, health officials say that's the key to stopping the spread of ebola as this man recovers after ap

>> the idea that hong kong would set an example that taiwan could follow, taiwan could say one country systems could work, we can go toward beijing -- that is out the window with this latest set of developments. >> that would never happen, would it? >> i don't think so, no. i think the taiwanese can realize that beijing is not going to accept -- they would not even allow a modicum of democracy previously agreed in hong kong. british rule has more reason to speak out. the u.s. perhaps less so. be silent on both, is that peerless because we don't want to damage -- is it purely because we don't want to damage business? >> early in the obama administration, hillary clinton came to china and said we can't allow human rights to interfere with the climate crisis in the financial crisis. the obama administration sort of decided that human rights and democracy promotion were dirty words following the bush administration. it is a shame. we have bipartisan heritage of being in favor of the flow of democracy. >> [indiscernible] envoy.epartment, special what is the perception in the u.s. to what is

here's the concern, the term it uses for taiwan means we own it.term they used last year for the south china sea and put out fishing rights. look at this. an aircraft carrier today can strike in one day 10 times the targets it could do 15 years ago. that means we have 150 carriers' capabilities worth. do we need a better sensor system to lay quietly in the ocean so we know where the chinese submarines are? neil, we're building the wrong warfare force rather than what the new air war burdens for us. neil: isis and how to prepare for that. worst-case scenario is it costs 22 billion dollars if you add troops on the ground. something the administration says isn't bandied about yet. where does the money come from? do we reallocate sources? more money, what? >> 25,000 troops on the ground, which we shouldn't do. it's three to five billion dollars if there's no troops on the ground, no more than we have today, advising, that is going -- i believe that we should come up with that and pay for this war as we go forward. put it off-line, i believe they have t

how this plays out will have enormous and locations for taiwan. >> you don't see something is among theainland chinese population for the occupy hong kong movement as it stands? >> you will certainly have pockets of those who are sympathetic, particularly among young people. but more recently there has been a fairly deep wave of nationalism throughout china. xi jinping has consolidated power, solidified himself as the singularly or in the tradition of mao zedong. but you will have pockets of the population, and i will say increasingly on the young people, who see the world through similar terms, who would be more sympathetic to what is happening in hong kong. the more this is left to chance without definition put around it, you will probably have more in the way of sympathizers. >> does that give xi jinping more flexibility if he acts decisively one way or the other now? if he decides to crack down or if he decides there will be some form of compromise, may be forcing the chief minister to step down? >> he doesn't have a lot of margin for error here. one, they have a chief executive in

china and taiwan claim them. the japanese government maintains the islands are an inherent part of the country. the jjsf will set up a new mobile unit of 3,000 personnel within five years. it will have the capabilities to promptly retake any islands in the event of them being seized. that is a part of japan's new defense strategy. japanese government decided to enhance the capabilities of the self-defense forces and other agencies to respond to unlawful acts concerning remote islands. in his speech, he referred indirectly to china. >> they are a nation that repeat their attempts to change the status quo by force and gradually escalating their activities. these nations demand the so-called core -- >> reporter: he says it's the reality that japan must face up to. the sdf are also trying to strengthen defense ties with other countries, including india and australia and have conducted joint maritime security exercises. he said japan's bilateral relationship with the u.s. is at the center of regional security in the a
