>> ditto what i said about todd's pick. >> tobin?

mike tobin has the latest from jerusalem.i, mike. >> it was the start of the cab et in meeting when he said there were graps. he said it as the enjoy arrives here. the big gap is over the settlement construction in the best bank. obama administration demanded that israel stop building the houses in the settlement because it's land that palestinians want for future state. netanyahu continued with the construction of 2,500 partially completed units and gave his blessing to begin 455 new units. netanyahu, president obama and palestinian president mahmoud abbas had been set to hold talks on the sideline of the u.n. general assembly later this month. but since israel announced plans for the new construction, president abbas refused to restart talks and demand israel comply with the u.s.-backed roadmap to peace calling par freeze in israeli settlement construction as first step toward palestinian statehood. now mitchell held a meeting with israeli president perez who by the way appeared fine after briefly collapsing yesterday. pere

>> mark tobin from jerusalem. >> the horrible scene of flooded out homes across the country. the atlanta area bearing the brunt of the storm. national weather service is issuing new warnings possible 6 more inches of rainfall or more expected over the weekend. the ground there is already so saturated that any more rainfall may kickoff another round of flash flooding. nine people died in ghoerg georgia flooding this past week. coming up a live accu-weather report on what you can expect. >> so devastating. people worked so hard to buy homes. >>> family and friends today saying a final good-bye to the yale grad student found murdered on her wedding day. annie le services held. mourners remembering her as a brilliant woman who hoped to change the world. raymond clark has been charged with her murder. they are establishing a scholarship in her memory as well. >> when we come back making life better for those americans who had sacrificed the most and it could be a great challenge as we all know. mary ann silver with more on that. hi mary ann. >> hi rick. what we are going to show y

tobin could blind. and if we shall not meet i hope to meet them in heaven. my dear wife, for you and my children this plan cannot express the grief that i feel. >> we are taken behind scholar and activists. dr. martin luther king junior's letter from a birmingham jail this year. in 1960 he read from a state prison. >> this is a letter from dr. martin king jr. to his wife. on october 206th 1960. the the, the island. today i find myself a long way from you and the children. i and at the state prison and reads bill which is about 230 miles away fromdmonton. they picked me up from the big help sell at 4:00 a.m. this morning. i know this whole experience is very difficult for you, especially in the conditions of your pregnancy, but as i said to you yesterday this is the cross that we must bear for the freedom of all people. so i urge you to be strong and safe and this will in turn strengthen me. i can if you bet it is extremely difficult to think of being away from you for four months. but and ask god our lead for the power and endurance. i have the fai to believ

support the tobin tax? we have the associate director for markets policy at the center for american policy. good to have both of you with us. >> david, 0.1% sounds small but $100 billion sounds big. is it a good idea. >> i will say obviously it's going to be -- it's hard to talk about a proposal that doesn't have details, of course, but we are talking about i think the basis of the proposal is an extremely small tax. as your earlier viewer said, we're talking about something that really would affect volume. so i think the impact of it would basically be to limit speculation and given that we have an s.e.c. proposed ban on flash trading, we have inquiries into whether short selling manipulated markets, we have inquiries across the country into derivatives and what role they played, i think there's a legitimate debate going on right now over whether and to what extent speculation is appropriate in our financial markets. i think this type of tax would help to limit that. it would help to align the markets ince

mike toe win joins us with what is -- mike tobin joins us with what is expected from the meeting. >> it is probably wise to lower expectations ahead of the talks you just mentioned between the israeli prime minister and the palestinian president and the u.s. president in new york. now, u.s. middle east envoy george mitchell just completed a round of diplomacy, hopping back and forth between jerusalem and a ramallah. while the u.s. and palestinians have been calling for a freeze in the construction settlements, israeli announced plans to complete a total of 3,000 new housing units for israeli settlers on land that palestinians claim they need for the state which would be the ultramall goal of the talks. the weakened palestinian president, mahmoud abbas with the dividing constituency and looking ever more discouraged on the other side. the meeting is billed as nothing more than a forum to get the ball rolling for future meetings. there is a risk to the whole thing, even going in with low expectations. mahmoud abbas is the only moderate option the world has for dealing with the palestin

mike trace: tobin live in the middle east. major healthcare reform live on the agenda for tomorrow. let's go to carl cameron live on capitol hill. >> it is the legislative calm for before the storm. the senate finance committee, which has been working on the alternative to finance reform -- they take up a new bill tomorrow that has mandatory health reform. it is a major battle with some 500 amendments looming and time running out. seemingly every single week another road bike. trace: carl cameron on capitol hill. today, a judge will decide if and muslim teenager, and run away, who fears for her life, must go back to her family. >> she will be in the juvenile courthouse behind me in about an hour, and one of the motions the judge will hear is one filed by her parents, asking for this case to be dismissed and their daughter to be sent home two columns, ohio. the florida department of law enforcement as well as ohio investigators have both concluded that there is no credible evidence that her life really is in danger. she claims her father would kill her for abandoning islam. trace: th

well as the palestinian president, mahmoud abbas to try and restart the middle east peace talks, mike tobinreau. >> reporter: it is probably wise to lower expectations. those words from a spokesman for the israeli prime minister ahead of three-way talks between the israeli prime minister, the palestinian president, and the u.s. president. u.s. middle east envoy george mitchell concluded a round of short range shuttle diplomacy between ramala and jerusalem trying unsuccessfully to reach' consensus related to settlement construction in the west bank and the u.s. and palestinians called for a freeze in the construction of new settlement and israel announced plans to complete 3,000 new housing units for israeli settlers on land that palestinians claim they need for the state which is this ultimate goal of the talks. the playing field is difficult for mitchell, hawkish netanyahu on one side playing the power base on the right and the weakened president mahmoud abbas with a divided constituency and looking ever more discouraged on the other side and the meeting is billed as nothing more than a fo
