about 75% of this county is undeveloped. thing is most of the undeveloped portion is over in the eastern section of the county, in the desert, on the other side of the mountains. the people live here in the coastal areas. unfortunately, a huge percentage of the non-human inhabitants of this county, a huge part of that biodiversity also lives here. 2,300 different types of plants, how do you pack that into such a small area? how is it possible that i can go from this mild climate here on the coast; to this, cool oak woodlands, well, cool this time of the year, they bake during the summer? to this - jeffrey pine forest where there's still snow on the ground. to this - white fir, incense cedar, and bigcone doug fir forests at the very peaks of the mountains where spring hasn't even thought about beginning. to this - one of the hottest and driest places in north america - all in only about 70 linear miles from the coast. so a large part of it has to do with topographical diversity, topography. that's just really the ups and the

some of the largest mineral reserves in the world, 57 billion tons, the mining sector is still undeveloped. the government and private companies want to change that with foreign investment. mining industry accounts for up to 25% of the stock market. should investment in the industry develop and grow, it should help the stock market in iran. >> especially now as the oil industry is under international sanctions. exploration projects have grown, outgoingy under ahmadinejad's government, increasing sixfold. it is mainly china taking advantage. >> china has good ties with iran under sanctions. china has benefited the most, more than the european countries. if european countries have the same policy, they could benefit and invest. >> at the moment, iran does not export most of its iron because it does not have the refining capacity. iran economy is based on oil and gas revenue. more people are employed in the mining sector than in the petrochemical sector. getgovernment hopes to close to half a million people. this place holds more than dirt. without the means, digging up the profits is still a

lloyd: what epa said to us was, "you can have an exemption from filtration "if you keep this undeveloped, "and if you can manage the wastewater so that it does not pollute your water supply." and we feel that we've reached the point where we can really keep it clean enough to drink unfiltered for the indefinite future. and new york city is in a small club of cities that actually have that filtration avoidance waiver. narrator: while municipalities are responsible for maintaining systems and source supply, the standards that protect water are established at the federal level. there are two important pieces of federal legislation that were both enacted in the early to mid-1970s. the first was the clean water act, which acts to protect rivers and lakes, and sources of drinking water. the second was the safe drinking water act, that provides federal standards to assure the safety of the water that we drink. both acts have been amended since they were first adopted, and they're both cornerstones for the water issues that we face in america today. allbee: the clean water act set a floor and ba

his argument is if this permit were to be upheld by this board, with the spots left undeveloped in the san francisco neighborhood. >> the allegations are completely false. and he has put forth to this board erroneous information meant to mislead you and in surveying the property the 70 crest line lot is actually the third smallest lot of all 14 lots throughout the development. and furthermore, of the 14 lots, ten of those are owned by one single owner. only four of the lots are owned by two of the parties but as i pointed out to the board. and developed and i can provide this board with the accounting of the lot sizes in question but i want to make real quick one point in regards to the pictures not only are they good at fudging the numbers they are good at fudging the pictures. this is the picture and the current state of the development. my window faces that lot and tourists are going up and down this is the twin peaks bus stop at the top here and the tourists and neighbors alike are traveling that area, it is clean and well maintained i stair at it every day because it is my own win

and you have areas where there is no demand because there is high structural undevelopment.it is a really, it's a tale of two very different countries under one umbrella. really hard times in other parts of the area that have high structural unemployment and the only thing to break that cycle of unemployment or poverty, worst-case scenario, is job creation and there's not enough money to retrain and retool the workforce that's there. but there's plenty of money in the areas where there's low unemployment, so i think we're in the process of rebalancing as a country, and things are going to get better in certain areas and worse in other areas. >> pressure having you pleasure having you both on. >>> up next, what makes a great president. how much of it is genetic? joseph nye, stay with us. so then the little tiny chipmunks go all the way up... ♪ [ female announcer ] when your swapportunity comes, take it. ♪ what? what? what?

they're in the wild land urban interface, where human development is spreading onto undeveloped wild have many more ignition sources. so chances of fire starting are increasing, then the conditions are ripe where we have opportunity for the fires to grow and spread. >> reporter: a recent study shows depending on density, it costs from 5 to 10s of thousands a day to defend each property, plus insurance companies past on cost of replacement through higher premiums. kelly campbell, an insurance expert on a state taskforce says more homes will go up in the burn zone. >> 40% of all development is taking place in this interface. by 2030, we anticipate the number of people that live in the wild land urba interface will increase by 300%. >> reporter: campbell says this matters even for those that don't live on the edge of wilderness, it impacts air and water quality. tony cheng says we are caught in a fire suppression cycle. when we extinguish fires, they don't take the natural course. it creates future mega fires. this fire was a catalyst or code so people can rebuild but with different lay

in the kingdom has the productivity and its people and its capital of land and labor in gdp was undeveloped. well, gwen glenn and i wanted to make an intellectual contribution with balance as to how we do economic measure and how we provide numbers. it's an idea that has been thrown around, we think him a little bit too vaguely. it leads to the pundit class saying lookout, here comes the bogeyman come here comes the soviets, here comes japan. here comes china. one of the things we do is analyze 50 articles by leading newspapers about the economy of china to see how many times they mentioned growth or the phrase gdp or anything referencing the size of the economy, how it measured, what is important is gdp per capita. wall street journal, it was mentioned in 80% of the articles. the others were almost not mentioned at all. gdp was mentioned 11 times. what we are worried about is the great power growing at 10% per year, i think both of us want america to grow faster and we think we have some ideas about that. not taking over the household, at least not for another 10 years. but putting this in

stores they are looking at opening up in the washington, d.c., area, oftentimes by the way in very undeveloped areas, poor areas that need the jobs that need the economic development. here's the problem with saying pay the people $12.50 an hour. those -- walmart is now saying they may not open up those stores. so it's not whether these workers have $12.50 an hour. these workers are going to get nothing because the store may not be there. >> consequently those district residents are going to have to go to virginia or maryland for the goods. steve, respond to this though. 2011 study by the all of california study at berkeley, walmart increased minimum wage for all employees in the u.s. to $12. one argument that walmart uses, is that it would increase costs for customers. but according to the study, quote, even if walmart were to pass 100% of wage increase on to consumers, the average impact on a walmart shopper would be quite small. 46 cents per shopping trip or $12.49 per year for the average customer. respond to that logic. >> well, here's the problem with this. look, most of the workers who s

to fight the trade in places like madagascar, an island off the coast of africa, that's vastly undeveloped are so poor, some of these villages make less than a dollar a day, or it's basically subsistence living. and there just simply isn't the political will of the country to really enforce, you know, what's going on with their natural heritage, whether it's tortoises or other wildlife. >> stahl: fly over madagascar and you can see why conservationists say it's bleeding to death-- rivers run red with soil erosion from logging and slash-and-burn agriculture that have wiped out animal habitats and 90% of the country's forests. and yet, because of its isolation, madagascar is a paradise of plants and animals found nowhere else, like the wide-eyed lemurs, chameleons that sparkle with color, geckos that hide in plain sight, more than 200 kinds of frogs, and five species of rare turtles and tortoises. eric was taking us on a trek to find the fastest-disappearing animal in madagascar, the plowshare tortoise, whose shrinking habitat is so deep in the wilderness, it's only accessible by boat. >> go

second world war we have had all of these imbalances that needed to be corrected among developed and undeveloped countries needing to be corrected through basically migration which is why the germans signed treaties. they needed turkish workers. the spaniards with the moroccans to my french with the algerians in the united states took and mexicans. it is the way it works. you need certain repetitious mechanical jobs the going to be part of it. and somebody is going to have to fill those to my take up those jobs. that's something that migration helps to do. to the hurt the economy? they do exactly the opposite. emigrant help make the pie bigger. i went to the most prominent academic critics command even he recognizes that illegal immigrants contribute about $22 billion to the economy every year. so we updated the data. it is a very conservative statistic. i think it's more than that, but let's accept that for a moment. we updated his calculation. that would translate into about 36 billion today. .. people moving up the scale and upset by the fact that immigrants help these labor-intensive industr
