the southeast flow will continue for a little while longer. zeal the onshore flow even after alex moves inland. >> brown: what about the weathering impact of those waves? what happens as those waves get to the oil spill area? >> any waves from the hurricane will accelerate the weathering process. now, alex was very far away from the oil spill and it didn't have nearly the effect or contribution to the weathering process that it would have had had it been much closer. so i don't expect much of an impact in terms of that apekt of things sdploun i was just told our audience did not hear your first answer. we were having audio technical problems. the first question i put to you was the situation with the hurricane. where is it hitting and with what force? >> okay. alex is a category one hurricane. it's about three or four hours offshore of the coast of northeastern mexico. it is showing signs of strepg we expect it to be a category two hurricane by the time it reaches the coastline in just a few hours. >> brown: let me bring in mr. van heerden. wha

, released from submarines off the coast of long island in new york and florida, obviously, in the southeast. they came in and ultimately were apprehended. they were released on about the 15th of june by the 15th of august, they had been -- those who had been adjudicated eligible for the death penalty and not reprieved in some way, they were -- they had been executed and the president -- and president roosevelt had convened not as a result of military commissions established prior to their appearance but military commissions created specifically to deal with their cases, president roosevelt had convened the commissions, the supreme court ruled that the commissions were appropriate, and they had been executed within 60 days. it's not a proud time in american history, although it's kind of interesting that the president seems so intent on making sure that there was such a -- such alacrity and such dispatch in the way the case was processed. the truth of the matter is, some of those individuals who had come into the country immediately went to the f.b.i. and said, we're here and we're here to d

unemployment coming from the demolishing -- the demolition of traditional industries, furniture in the southeast, where you have been taking it on the chan on top of the cyclical effects. we're probably going to be the last to recover. it will be a long lag in our particular case. people are very much concerned and worried everywhere you go, small towns, large cities, whatever it maybe, people are concerned. secondly, they're concerned about credit. when you get down to the man on the street, from the builder to the developer to the small- business person, even though we've taken issues to raise enough credit, they do not see it or feel it. they don't feel any effect whatsoever from the so-called economic recovery. so the economy is a big concern and will be a big burden to bear in this election. i would not deny that. >> one sector has seemed to benefit from the tea party enthusiasm down in south carolina. what you make of the tea party movement? >> i am not sure. i just don't know quite who the members of that are. they are enthusiastic. they are very fervent and dogged. they will have an impa

for the next three years anyone who sets up a new business outside london, the southeast, and the easternom up to 5,000 pound of employer national insurance payments for each of their first 10 employees hired. we now have the scheme up and running by september, but any qualifying new business set up from today will also receive help. and the treasury estimate that some 4000 businesses -- 400,000 businesses will benefit, ensuring all parts of our country contribute to a more balanced and sustainable economic future. mr. deputy speaker, let me now turn to some further decisions we have made on taxation. i am someone who believes in the virtues of lower taxation. but the only sustainable route to lower taxes is by first achieving sound public finances. and the sovereign debt crisis means that we need to reduce the deficit even more quickly in order to protect our common. and the office for budget responsibility has revealed the size of the structural deficit to be even larger than we feared, $12 billion -- 12 billion pounds larger next year. this budget announces a further fiscal tightening

.+ we do have fed depression that has been informed in the southeast and caribbean. how will we respond to a hurricane will be dictated by which production capacity we have on scene. by the end of next week, we would anticipate having preproduction out there on the well site. of the production capabilities, one of hem as part of the platform itself. there could be couplings for the vertical riser packages. we would need to disconnect and recovered to a safe harbor and return of around 10 days to accomplish that. you'd have to start doing that between three and seven days in advance of the hurricane. we are discussing that with bp and the folks that are down a unified command in new orleans for the -- new orleans. if we notice a hurricane coming, we would know between three and seven days in advance of that to redeploy the equipment. >> what kind of storm would becoming your way for you to do that? can you give us more specifics? >> i have some folks working on the scale. it is a way for people to understand that. we will get them. the least capable platform in product

it's been the linchpin of our strategic interests in southeast asia for decades. what i have seen on the streets of bangkok and what my family has witnessed firsthand over the last few months is incredibly disappointing. last month, mr. speaker, my family, when i talked to my suzz kins, it was with both joy and sadtons see what had transpyred in our immediate family. it is with incredible honor and distinction that i was able to take the oath of office as a member of the united states congress. but my first cousins, who were born and raised in thailand, unfortunately, witnessed firsthand what was happening on the streets of bangkok and saw firsthand the violence going on in the city center. i think it is a reminder to all of us as americans this euniqueness, importance, vitality and the incredible, incredible good fortune we have to call ourselves americans. but it is also what is happening in bangkok that reminds us that we as a nation should lead by example and remind all the peoples of the world of what we can and what we have here in this nation and it doesn't

it has been out of the south- southeast at 10 to 15 knots for some time. it is moving the oil up into the panhandle of florida. that will be slightly less and there is a current to the west that may hold it where it is and we're watching that closely. we had two flights yesterday. one of the west coast of florida and no sightings of oil were made. we have been reporting for week or so there has been an eddy that has separated the oil and we continue to watch them closely. regarding the content and operations, with the containment cap, in the last 24 hour period, we were able to recover 14,482 barrels. we went from 6,000 barrels to 15,000. we continue to optimize production and make sure we can take as much oil out of that stream as possible. we to new to moving -- monitor that moving forward. -- continue to monitor that moving forward. we are taking a local water men out there and putting them to work. we have 23,000 -- enrolled. we are providing them equipment. they are scouting and skimming or supporting other operations. there will be a meeting with bp a

the wind has been out of the south-southeast at about 15 knots which moves the oil toward mississippi and alabama and the panhandle of florida. that will be slightly less and there is a current to the west that may hold it where it is. we are watching that very closely. we had two flights yesterday. there were no sightings of oil off the coast of florida. we have been reporting that there is an eddy of the loop current target we continue to watch that closely. regarding the containment operations and the containment cap -- from the last 24 hours we were able to recover 14,842 barrels. this has declined steadily from the first day. we went from about 6,000 barrels to 15,000 barrels per o. we want to make sure we take as much oil from the stream as we can. one containment cap is closed and we continue to monitor that. a couple of key issues this week is that we have vessels of opportunity which is taking local waterman and putting them to work for it right now, we have over 2600 vessels throughout the gulf that are enrolled. in alabama, we had about 5000 vessels out. we are providing th

the largest increases from 1990 to the present have been in the southeast and southwest united states. places like north carolina, mecklenburg, n.c. when from 70% of births being -- went from 70% of births being white in the 1990's to less than 40% now. you are seeing huge shifts within one generation. that is where you see some of these tensions. where the growth has been rapid. in general, as you mentioned, this country has for a long time been a country of immigrants with the foreign-born population has become well integrated. i think it where we are really seeing the difference is how widespread it has become. like i said, the demographic shift, no one is surprised by it. what is becoming surprising is how widespread it has become. host: in "the wall street journal" they talk about mecklenburg, n.c. as you were speaking of it. there is a statue of mahatma condi -- john d. -- ghandi. "in 1997 the 0.3% of the county is white, to date is 54.6% and the young as whites are a minority amongst their peers -- youngest whites are a minority amongst their peers." guest: places like charrott

the state's. one of these centers that we visit it is in a town in southeast louisiana. we spoke with a local residents. here is a look. >> i work at a processing plant for shrimp and we have been greatly affected by the oil spill with our hours being reduced. normally this time of year we would work over 100 hours a week and now we're getting a 20 or 30 hours a week. that is how we make our living. saving money for the winter time and all of that. it is really hard right now to do what -- when you are used to having the income coming in. however, bp has been good to us. they have been giving us the money and helping the new way they can and we greatly appreciate that. but we just need people know it is not just the fishermen. if the fisherman don't catch, we don't work. we all have to go into the other and help each other. we do appreciate the help we are getting. >> you are at the claims center. >> i was asking for information. she was really nice and answered my questions. a lot of the times you don't know what is going on. you hear so much. i have come today to find o

good with hurricane preps this time of year and we have a low depression that's been formed in the southeast caribbean. how we respond to a hurricane will be dictated by which productton capacity we have on scene. as you know, this is evolving and will continue to evolve over the next two to three weeks. by the end of next week, let's say, we will anticipate having three production vessels out there over the well site. the discovery enterprise, the q-4,000 and the he licks of the production capabilities, one of those is fixed hard to the platform itself and that is the discovery enterprise. and the other is vertical riier packages. we would need in total to disconnect, recover to a saae harbor and return probably around 10 days to accomplish that. start doing that anywhere between three to seven days in advance of the hurricane. those procedures are being finalized right now. we are discussing that with b.p. and the folks at the unified command in new orleans. if that happened, if we got notice that a hurricane was coming, we would need anywhere from three to seven days in advance of that to

eight individuals released from submarines off the coast of long island in new york and florida in the southeast. they came in and were apprehended. they were released on about the 15th of june by the 15th of august, they had been -- those who had been adjudicated and eligible for the death penalty and not reprieved in some way, they had been executed. the president had convened not as a result of military commission established prior to their appearance but military commissions created specifically to deal with their cases. president roosevelt had convened the commissions. the commissions were ruled appropriate. they had been executed within 60 days. it is not a proud time in american history. it is kind of interesting that the president seems so intent on making sure there was such alacrity and dispatched in the way the case was processed. some of those individuals who had come into the country went to the fbi and said, we are here to destroy critical infrastructure in america. it is it anyunproud moment for unproud - is ait is an moment for the fbi. they took this serious. the president is re

obviously from the southeast florida side we're concerned about the current which may bring it through the florida straits and up through the gulf stream. we saw it through the research that's done, there is this possibility, of course, and the sooner we can cap the oil the better. we all know that if this oil does come to the east side, east side of florida as it has the panhandle it will impact florida homeowners, businesses and not to mention the environment for years to come. we need to take whatever action to finish that job. the only thing i will say to my constituents, and obviously this is a national issue, no one should suffer because of b.p.'s recklessness and taxpayers cannot and will not be stuck with footing even a dime for the bill for this debacle. b.p. has to be fully responsible for the full costs of plugging the leak, cleaning up the spill and making every person, every business who is harmed whole again. i appreciate the fact that today there was discussion about $20 billion being put in escrow that can be drawn down upon for businesses and local groups that have to

i love the southeast. and honestly it is a crying shame that some like this should happen all because of greed. thank you. host: ok. harold, last call from right here in washington, d.c., independent. what would you like the president to say? caller: i do not think there is very much the president can say that would satisfy some people short of saying that he is going to put on a pressure suit and drop down to the well and plug it himself. i have been -- i heard about a half dozen addresses from the president, and regardless of what he says in the addresses that i hear on c-span, the popular media puts its own spin on it. then you have reaction is to media. i really don't think there is much the president can say. but the bottom line is that humans tested the limits of human capability. that old saying, your arms are too short to box with god, i think it's just weird up and it reminded us that there are some things that dealing with nature, we are just not equipped to handle. host: specifically coming up n

i mean, one thing, for example, this week and there were enormous demonstration in the southeast whereore the demonstrators got home, they were met by security forces in a very violent way with pepper gas. mp's who went to talk to the security forces were not even allowed to come near, and for any of the pepper spray. them hundreds and hundreds of kurdish activists being jailed. people being, i mean, there's a serious crisis in turkey for the government which had announced a kurdish opening but backtracked because our reaction in some turkish quarters. this is a very convenient, i wouldn't say, it helps them. i'm not saying they created this crisis, but it definitely helps them. finally, in terms of domestic politics. given the akp, there was a very serious clash potentially looming between the akp andhe constitutional court. i does have the constitutional court which had been considering maybe to ban the party or ban some of its politicians, it tried this in 2007 and eight. it backfired. but there were serious talk that this may be in the offing again, especially before the new electi

the lake township area, southeast of toledo, was particularly battered. at least five people died. torms there carved a path of destruction some 300 yards wide and ten miles long, destroying dozens of homes. the community's high school was badly damaged, forcing postponement of sunday's graduation ceremonies. twisters also hit michigan and illinois, but no deaths were reported. bank of america agreed to pay $108 million to reimburse 200,000 homeowners who were charged improper mortgage fees. the overcharges were levied by countrywide financial which was bought by bank of america in 2008. the payment settles a complaint by the federal trade commission which said countrywide targeted homeowners facing foreclosure with exorbitant fees. it's one of the largest settlements in the commission's history. for the record, bank of america is an underwriter of the "newshour." in other financial news, stocks tumbled on wall street today over continued concern about u.s. consumer spending and the european credit crisis. the dow jones industrial average lost more than 115 points to close at 9816.

we started to look at the ports used to import products mainly for originating from southeast asia into south america. we looked at the distribution networks. worked with the country's down there. we worked with other countries, including uruguay and chile. these were the deployments. we spent a lot of time on the ground working with our colleagues. our role was very much based on coordination. these are some images of the work in brazil. in 2008, the number of countries increased to seven. that was a much more conference of operation. by now, about 25 different industry actors working with us on the ground. in terms of results, you can see from the chart, in terms of seizures, it was very modest. as we build up momentum, the seizures are much bigger. now we have a situation where those countries are fully committed to the process. their team to support the operation -- they are keen to support the operation. there's a similar pattern with the arrests. what are the collective benefits? what did we achieve? we raised the profile on i.p. crime as a priority. by working with the various po

the gentleman from ohio. >> thank you mr. chairman. and thank you for your testimony today. i come from a very rural area of ohio. very parse district in southeast ohio, exclusively rural, the largest town we have is about 27,000 people. we have historically suffered from an inadequacy of physician force. i think that's true for most rural areas around the country. especially for those which are relatively indigent or poor. can you talk about why this deficit is problematic and the contact of its impact on creating a rural work force? >> which deficit are you referring to? >> the deficit referring to access, not just family physicians, but physicians generally. recruiting specialist, we have a very difficult time recruiting primary care physicians. i'm curious to your thoughts how that impacts creating the rural work force? >> well, clearly recruiting physicians is essential to provide quality care. and there certainly are documenting problems in recruiting, in particular to rural areas, but also some inner city areas as well. in a report, in the chapter on graduate medical education, we note that there are a number of programs authorized to thi

with their leaders and the outstanding results of now south korea becoming one of the great economic powers in southeast asia, i might say, mainly because of our close economic ties. i want to also note that the number one electronics company in the world is in south korea. also the number one shipbuilding company in the world is in south korea. so i really hope and i sincerely hope that in the coming months that we will be able to continue to negotiate successfully the proposed free trade agreement that was done previously by the previous administrations and with the negotiators. it's my understanding that as a result of this proposed free trade agreement we stand to gain somewhere between $11 billion and $20 billion in exports of our product to south korea if we get approval of this proposed agreement. i also want to note as a matter of history of what my friend from new york stated about the people and the good leaders of south korea. my own personal experience while serving in vietnam, i tell you really know who your real friends are, the fact there were 50,000 south korean soldiers fighting alongsi
