locals. i need to look at the people who turned the potential for the opening of the wall into the reality of the opening. i think the sort of take away lesson is the united states, it needs in its foreign policy to pay attention to the locals. it goes badly wrong when it fails to do that. i think the united states is good at things like context creation, but it's not that reducing specific results but it's better when it empowers people on the ground to push through and make those final changes. it's also bad if the united states, it's not advisable to assume it's single-handedly responsible because then it becomes a delusion that you can do this elsewhere regardless of what the locals thing. i think that is in many ways the take-home lesson. even if you don't care about the details of this story. in essence what i'm telling is a sort a successful, peaceful revolution. it succeeded and left behind itself an amazing amount of evidence under people who took part in this who want to talk to it's an amazing story. so we would like to know how that succeeds. we would like to note in the united states case how to peaceful revolution 60. is a great way to do so

local communities. the usage of home funds to make homeownership possible in communities throughout the united states. >ongress passed housing reform in this new congress taking office this week? >> the straightforward answer is i do not think anybody can tell right now. the administration's position has not changed on housing finance reform. the ministration supports reform that gets the taxpayers off the hook were we ever to experience the kind of housing crisis we experienced a few years ago. we believe there is a sensible way to accomplish that. we are pleased to see johnson make it through the senate banking committee. that did not get broader senate approval. it did not get approval in the house of representatives. what we remain committed to the principles underlying the administration. to look forward to see what comes forward in this new congress. my hope is that we can find a sensible way to address this in 2015. >> will fannie and freddie survive? >> that is a great question. and the fact is that depends on what happens in any potential legislation. i think that folks along the ideological sp

unit. while he's here a victim spent her new year's day at a local hospital. >>> a brazen attack in broad day light. detectives tell us this is where the 33-year-old woman was raped. they dusted for fingerprints for hours. police were called to the second floor of the parking garage right across in e from the community college of philadelphia around 11:00 a.m. thousands of people headed to the event in new year's day. >> lived here six years and yes, i walk in and out of this garage all of the time. >> it's scary because i work here. i'm about to get a vehicle soon and this will be -- i'm a little nervous to be parking over there. >> doctors at hahneman university say the 33-year-old woman is in stable condition. >> i'm very surprised. i lived here three and a half years, i've never had an issue. >> the particular parking garage in spring garden is supposed to be staffed 24 hours a day. in the meantime, i was told here by a detective at s.v.u. that they're continuing to investigate this case. in the juniata section of philadelphia, nbc 10 news. >> former gov northerly mariocuom died tonight.
