this video from the united nations university showed some demonstrating a desktop unit at school in japan to teach children about the importance of cleaning up plastic trash. >> in nepal there was a truck that runs around, it is powered by the fuel. >> the system basically has filtration that is similar to a converter so the only two things that are coming off of the process is off gas are water and a very small amount of co2. >> cheryl: this is one of the areas they want to take it to the garbage patch swirling in the ocean gyra. they swirl around a central point that create a whirlpool affect. >> some estimate there are millions of tons of tic trash floating over the ocean. >> one of the biggest things we believe we can do to help keep the plastic out of ocean is to provide a monetary value for plastic trash. >> they would like to see a program similar to identical go fees on cans and bottles. that would encourage people to collect it and sell it. the buyer could sell the fuel. >> for every ten pounds of plastic we make about a gallon of fuel. >> about the downside to the machine is the

united states. >> well, mr. chairman, first, i couldn't agree with you more. i think that if we invest in research in american universities or national labs or in companies that we would like to see not only that research lead research leads to discoveries but that research leads to manufacturing in the united states. because that is where we will see our future prosperity. the department of energy is working in other ways. first, when there are issues having to do with ip generated by the department of energy, we are looking at what means we have to say if you support our star company or research, what are the means we have at our disposal to make sure it doesn't go to the highest bidder, and just wh just what are those means? >> i'll tell you one example. we supported some research by a company that was based in america on manufacturing of improving the manufactureability to drive the cost down. given what was happening in china, they weren't going to get out of this business and we were taking steps to make sure the i.p. generated by american taxpayers would have control, that, again, it doesn't migrate. >> so it did migrate? what

american university's, laboratories and companies then leads to manufacturing and jobs in the united states. >> i couldn't agree with you more. if we invest in research in american universities or national labs or companies, we would like to see that research lead to discoveries but that research leads to manufacturing in the united states because that is where we will see future prosperity. the department of energy is working in a number of ways. when there are issues having to do with i.t. generated by the department of energy we look at what means we have. if you start a company or research that -- what are the means we have at our disposal to make sure it doesn't go to the highest bidder and what are those -- for example, i will tell you one example. we supported some research done by company based in america on manufacturing of improving manufacturing to drive costs down. it was a successful program. given what was happening in china than they were going to get out of this business and we were taking steps to make sure the ip generated by american taxpayers would have control. >> so it did migrate? >> if we -- [talking over each other] >> what is the reference to china? if we made

united states plans on approaching singapore next year. that's going a lot further from just opening an office. yale is actually collaborating with the national university of singapore to establish an autonomous college. >> is the competition to attract more students likely to get more heated? >> yes. japanese university is hoping to attract such students and contribute to the growing trend of education. >> thank you. >>> hi there and welcome back. the snow that has spread in central japan caused a little bit of travel disturbances. also more than 190 injuries due to the snow that had accumulated and also 300 or more accidents. but that has tapered off, n much of central japan as a low-pressure system is moving your way the next 24, bringing lots of drier and calmer weather with the high pressure that will be dominating much of the area. this low-pressure system is going to be developing as it moves the northeasterly direction, and that's going to be another round of wet weather to come for us in the central portion of japan. showers will still linger in southeastern china, and this could become heavier. and it's going to be another round of very heavy

[ applause ] >> thank you, alan. and it's -- the work is not only brilliant piece of scholarship, it is an amazing story and told in a riveting way. for those of who you have not put down the amount to purchase it, i recommend it. alan invited us to use the story of luce and his american century as a spring board, not just as the exclusive focus of our conversation. and that's what we're going to do. i'd like to introduce the other members of the conversation and once i've introduced all of them, let's welcome them. on my extreme left, although perhaps not really, is michael kazen, a professor of history at georgetown and he's also the coed it tore of dissent. the focus of his work is american politics andtore of di. the focus of his work is american politics and social movements. among his works are

united states history for what it is. namely a product of the nations liberal political economy that is its universal, moral and politicalone hand and it's unspeakable appetite for land, labor, resources and markets on the other. to be sure, our liberalism access generous. anyone can be a part of this great american republican experiment at least inferior and at the same time our liberalism makes this presumptuous, often predatory. what is good for us is good for you, whether you like it or not. that paradox is visible in american conquest for north america. it is their interaction with latin american states. it is there in our contemporary involvement in the middle east and despair in our continuing occupation of guantÁnamo bay. now for a little history. my story begins on july 18, 1741, would reduce admiral edward fernand led 62 ships bearing 3000 british troops plus 1000 jamaican slaves through the entrance of guantÁnamo bay. the british troops were several hundred american colonists, survivors of a much larger colonial contingents joined the british expeditionary force to previous autumn targeting the world sediments

university. i'm pleased to have each of them here so i begin with anne-marie slaughter. where are we after the united nations failed to come to an agreement, a recommendation? >> we're in a b place. today was terrible. yesterday was terrible. the shelling in homs is really ticked up a notch. they're using mortars. they're essentially just blowing up people in them. the activists there basically say thatussia and china gave the regime a green light to do whatever it takes to shut the opposition down. >>ose: tom, you just saw... you were just in russia. what are the russians saying about this? we've got the ambassador to the united nations, vitaly churkin, coming on later. >> well, you know, the story they tell is that president medvedev basically cooperated with the u.n. resolution no-fly zone on libya which they... the russians say was meant simply to protect civilians and it turned into a regime change operation. that's their excuse basically for refusing to go along with the syrian initiate because, you know, they see syria in two very... i should say three very important ways. one is a huge arms customer.

university. she writes, quote, unlike many nations elsewhere in the world, the united states has nurtured a vibrant and vigorous respect for academic freedom. under such a system, american higher education has flourished. she goes on, but if recent trends continue in which the staff at accreditting agencies and i might add government agencies seek to substitute their own judgments about what mission and institution should pursue and how that institution can best achieve that mission and measures success, we risk damaging the country's leading institutions. nord, these -- in order, these are my words -- in other words, these are my words, this strikes at the heart of our higher education. but whether these rules are in effect or not doesn't matter if students can't afford to go to college. my amendment to this legislation to require pell grants be maintained at ath at least the current level of $5,500 was not made in order. now in new jersey, 213,000 students make pell grants -- use pell grants to make college affordable. there's bipartisan agreement on ms. foxx's bill, but unfortunately this is a p

national attention underway in new jersey involving former rutgers university student who is accused of spying on his gay roommate, tyler claw -- clementi after he learned huey was secretly videotaped during a romanticken unithis a college prapg that went horribly wrong, or was it a calculated hate crime. let's ask our fox news legal analysts. let's go to the former prosecutor first. this is not an easy case for prosecutors to prove. they have to demonstrate intent on the part of the defendant that targeted clemente because he qas -- he was gay. >> they have to show intent and the causation. he would go to the extent of killing himself after this. that is hard. you have to get into the mind of the defendant. and when you have to prove an intent crime it is very difficult, greg, unless there is a smoking gun and there is not one here. >> isn't it clear clemente tragically killed himself because he was harassed and cautionation is not a big an issue as it otherwise would be? >> a lot of people say that, but here is a challenge for the prosecutors. he was open. apparently tyler clemente was open about his orientation. he had depression issues too. the defense will zero in on those two issues, and when he talks

nations and states that these mega-politans emerged. the role of them as not to save the cities because they are what they are but it is whether in the united states universitiesitans being competitive end at the same time as some concept of economic justice in the way the ball. we can be wildly successful with a small percentage of our population as we have seen with a lot of social and economic stress as a function of being successful technologically. how can universities be a part at every level of producing new ideas on the social front the cultural front the philosophical front the practical front, the technological front producing enough ideas to help these major places in the united states actually be places in which social mobility is still possible and economic competitiveness on a global scope scale is still attainable. how we do that will be depended upon not just the universe is but certainly they will be a major actor. they will produce these people to help us move in that direction. if you look at where we are, we don't just want to save ourselves to anything other than ourselves great if we don't like the way things are now, it is because we hav
