there might not be a silver bullet for poverty, but ththere are a whwhole lot ofof great ids out there,e, ideas thahat are helping people on a daily basis, and one good idea, big or small, really can change lives. take this s idea. there really is such a thing as a free lunch. now consider india, home to 1.2 billion people. that's 17% of the planet, so it's no surprise that india's problems, poverty, hunger, tend to be big. but the indian government is thinking just as big when it comes to fighting hunger, and they're fighting that battle one lunch at a time. this "viewchange" film tells the story. amos roboberts: it's early mornrning in a smallll village t far from the city of bangalore. kuma is cleaning the rickshaw that provides his family's lililihood. his wife nakama is washing the family's few dishes. and their children are getting ready for school. abilash, however, can't find his school shirt. amos: kuma but doesn't earn enough to buy spare shirts for the children. after paying for the hire of his rickshaw, he's lucky to make $4.00 or $5.00 a day, so clothes getet held together

say ththere is a hostage situation.here is a criminal, they have just robbed a store and grab the store clerk. they are holding them and holding a gun to the clerk's head. what do the police do? they're not supposed to throw a grenade and kill both the criminal and the hostage. they're supposed to seek a way that will allow the hostage to go free. but what the u.s. military doctrine does is precisely the opposite. they say, oh, well, yeah, all of these civilians died, but it wasn't our fault because they were being used as human shields by our targets. now, these standards are just as grabbed our long-standing u.s. standards. these standards were in effect under obama, under bush all the way back. but with trump, and this is the thing to be clear about, we have entered a new era. under trump, the military and the cia are being encouraged first to make their own decisions on the ground as to where and when to bomb and drone . under obama, many of these decisions were run through the white house bureaucracy and there were

the first 100 days, they are important because ththere are three things w we president can do.mber one, make good on promises he made during the campaign. what you have seen is ann inability on the part of the president to do that.. number t two, an opportunity to create uninity in the country.y. the president i is given a honeymoon, republican or democrat. that requires them too reaeach t erere there is someme common ground. there were two opporortunities r president bush that hee squandndered -- or president trp that he squandered. one was the infrastructure. they have not presented a plan. two, lowering the cost of prescription drugs. forpresident has said he is that. democrats are all in on that. but there is no plan. the third thing is the presisidt cacan idedentify what he or shes going to focus on in the next four years and i identify the bg chchallenge in t the country. the big challelenge in the couny is income inenequality.. everything the president has proposed with -- would intensify it, accelerate it, not diminish it. i think it is been a pretty poor showing for th

ththere is no o -- there is no r way to say i it. got into a topopic i should not have. i screwed up. amy: meanwhile, the office of billionaire jewish casino magnate sheldon adelson said that spicer called adelson to apologize for his comments. last year, adelson spent tens of millions of dollars to support trump and republican campaignsn. there's no indication spicer called jewish organizations or jewish members of congress to apologize. there have been widespread calls for spicer to step down. steven goldstein, the executive director of the anne frank center for mutual respect, said spicer is guilty of holocaust denial and should be fired at once. we'll have more on sean spicer with steven goldstein after headlines. in kansas, republican ron estes won a congressional seat in a special election tuesday by a surprisingly small margin for a heavily conservative district. estes beat democratic challenger james thompson by a slim 53-to-46 margin in a district that donald trump carried by 27 percentage points last november. the narrow victory could signal trouble for republi

ththere continues to b be a big problem inin the discussion with andndwhere geopolitics eoeological lines are defining over and beyond their rights and dignity's of people. this has been going on and is still goioing on to this day. the convnversations aboutut the. bombining of an airfield inin sa has generated a sense of hysteria. so-called anti-imperialist front are saying this is the beginning of world war iii, which is a ridiculous statemement. other people say this is the first time america has intervened in syriria. this is not true. americicans have been interveveg in syriaia for a long titime in various ways -- not t really against the regime. i agree with alia there.. it is nonot an i interest to p e and develop selelf interest in syria. lelet' look at t the bigger pice here. when i say that, i'm talkingg about not the simple anti-imperialist or geopolitics discourse. i'm talking about what about self-d-determination for all the communities? what is happening in syria as part of a process. this latest chapter that started in 2011 as part of a regional chapapter that we saw di

it's stunning. 95% of the people who've losost ther job in this crisis--and ththere are millions of them--werere fired by a private capitalist empployer. iff you're gonnaetet angry at somebody because of unemployment, the logigical target is the cocompany ththat fired you. not in ameririca. our people are trained. they leap over the company that fired them to the politician, the senator or the congressperson whom they're very angry at, who had absolutely nothing to do with it. . the overerwhelming majority of people who've been foforeclosed out of theieir homs were foreclosed by aa private capapitalist bank or lender, and who are e they angry at?t? "um,, politician"!" what? j just the best possible system for capitalists. you kick the mass of people, they get angry at somebody else. you kick them again, they get more angry at somebody else. you are exempt. this s is stunning. hohow did yu do this? and then there's this general blame the government, blame the government. the government is the problem. why do i say it's patently absurd? george bush, our president--do you remember him? that

in the first-ever ststate of the union address, he told conongres ththere was nothing which can betterociety for during thecades entire time he was vice president and president. he was so nerdy he wrote a letter pointing out a mass error in newton's pring campy a, and you can google it, and it is the nerdiest thing you have ever seen. one historian calls the declaration of independence a scientific paper whose open is not tony -- we hold these truths to be self-evident. they were evident because you could see them and you could use yoyour reason n to figure them . foundingg crucial to anand buildiding ts countrtry. nerds s can do anyththing if wek together. we can save the climate with nerd power, but only i if we defend s science f from attack. afteter all, climate changee is reality, not reality tv. [applause] so, the next time someone tells you science and politics don't mix, tell them about washington, lincoln, and jefferson. i am here with my daughter antonia who was here on earth day with me seven years ago when i could pick her up, and her friend is civil -- isabel. i will leave
