very nice instruments can you tell us what is this that made experiment. speaking for every single a seriously might be the type of experiments because this this material or has a number of were very different very in the central properties the mechanical properties the optical properties the. problem for me is the combination between mechanical. properties which are the most interesting constantin you use your set in a minute ago that you were in this in this paper of yours for which you like the nobel prize you said that you said i quote we can produce a good thing but as far as i know you're out not producing anything or you are interested in production or you just interested in research. while we do research on this material boards in order to start our experiments we need to produce those samples first so of course the sample production we production of this material is quite poor thousands and. very often the north important parts for our research are you said that you have to produce enough material for your research but one of your colleagues in the united kingdom i quote said in this age of complexity with machines like the super collider these guys managed to get th

more irrational if americans actually knew history that's very important here i'm sorry david you were going to jump in there she's done a. nice. american know as much about history as possible all right. things and i knew a controversial and but let me just say one thing about american foreign policy which is that it is it is infused with as david said with a kind of idealism and more our the which certainly is now. alone it's that is to say that it's self-interest is it's dominant but it does define self-interest in moralistic ways and that can lead to great tragedies and mistakes as well was great and triumphs ok david you were before we go to the break ok another example all right i think go ahead and we're going to david go ahead real quick to show you the bread yeah until you got woodrow wilson in one thousand nine hundred nineteen nineteen woodrow wilson could not open his mouth without saying that the united states alone had no selfish interests in the war it infuriated europeans because the united states had the greatest interest of all which was that of an emerging from the war as the richest and most powerful nation

very tolerant with our enemies. of everybody is really regretted because if you because you were tolerant you were nice with everybody and now when you brought all the enemies from abroad to libya and this there is of you are charged by the international criminal court with the design of quotation as state policy ngo deterrent quelling but any means including by the use of lethal force the demonstrations of civilians against gadhafi regime which started in february two thousand and eleven this is a policy exist. among the accused me of killing people everybody in or even bibles themselves they are accusing me of using force or because i'm not in the in the army i'm not in the government so for me to be responsible for killing people it was a big joke second to all the people who die at the beginning one hundred fifty nine and most of the people died when the attack with this site and this would happen anywhere anywhere in the world and russia in america in france in germany and italy if. people in the street move towards a military side frame to see that little arms the military would prevent this what happened in be

you swallow the anger, nice to meet you mr. president, moving on. that said, i think president obama and his team also were the first ones to make things so political from the very beginning. even after they won. they made everything about partisanship. this is the price you pay. i do not think president obama should have gone on this bus tour. they have nothing to sell. there's no big idea. i can't really understand why they didn't move him on, on the rope line keep it going. instead now we have this video that we can play over and over again. it makes me uncomfortable. i wouldn't have wanted to be the president. >> greta: he has a plan he says he's not releasing until september. >> today we hear, remember the president [ unintelligible ] last february it was so milquetoast when paul ryan's budget came out, a month later president obama did a redo and did his budget. now everybody complaints he hasn't had a debt ceiling -- let the republicans do it they complain they don't have a plan. on jobs, why do the bus tour now? why not after you announce big new program that he's going to announce in september? once again, they will build up expectation to the point the

very good motive. that's where it stands right now. the publication. >> yes. >> reporter: this is aruba today. >> why are you on the cover? >> reporter: they recognize somebody on the cover. well, they were very nice to say that i was an award winning journalist and point out that i was very fair to the aruban government and to the coverage of the nat lee hol way case. >> you are fair, martin savidge. >> reporter: an indication that things are slow newswise here. >> back to giordano, i know he's been in custody. what has life been like for him in this jail? what have you learned? >> it's interesting. life is actually apparently improved for him since he's gone from being held in the local police shop to being in the prison. he's in a cell that's described as 11 meters by 11 meters. what is that 33 feet by 33 feet. very large. but he has to share it. he's got two cell mates with him. they're in a special area for people being detained before try. he gets to go out and about on the grounds during the day. he is of course locked up at night. doesn't have access to the media and he can't have visitors, at least twice a week. police have been interrogating him. they say that he is talking off and on. w

you see these huge walls, these were supposed to be protective walls. it gives you a sense of the power of the gadhafi regime. this honestly is the nicest part of the city. you're seeing these large, very nicely -- let's pull back a little bit. let's just pull back. i'm getting hit by some of the shells. >> other parts of tripoli continued to see fighting on the streets. journalists held by government forces report explosions and gunfire. matthew chance is trapped there. >> we're pretty frightened to be honest, michael. we're all kind of like in this sort of silence that's come over us. we're upstairs, very hot in the hotel. we've all got our body armor on. we don't really know what to expect there is a sense that we feel we've kind of been used. we're stuck here, not able to go out. we don't want to be here. we want to get out of here, but we're not being permitted to do that, so it's almost like a situation where we feel we're being kept here against our will. but the government says they are taking care of us, gadhafi loyalists say they are here to protect us, but it just doesn't feel like that up here sometimes. >> it's up clear how many gadhafi loyalists remain in tripoli, and it's also

very nice professor in the bronx, some sort of essay. remember the two words that were not clever or great. freely frolicking. youreally have something here and it was the first time anyone was ever so complementary. i used to sing around town and if you heard me sing and you would understand why no one ever complemented me. it was the first time i felt good but never thought i would be a creative writer. sort of reading more books. i love the theater. i have not lady friend who was an actress and used to go to theater all the time and started riding very naturalistic plays when sam shepard and those guys were happening. sort of writing about my family. i am not sure about the dialogue, but that let me into trying to write fiction and once i attempted that i had the incredible luck of writers in the day. there in her -- they encouraged me to write, being nice to me. on the other hand, something about the process was fulfilling and nurturing, it was taking the question i had about myself and putting them into a container space eventually. the beauty of that, isa this tooth young folks or older folks, i was in an o

across when doors are seen very belong to my limited release and if it were not on you better so your heat trait in terms of understanding would be ten dollars better if you used nice garden or formulation ok robert if i go to you in copenhagen is this just jibberish bad english. i think it's very clear that. when you are in the real world you obviously have to communicate as best you can i am worried by the idea that a simplified form of english like that. isn't it's a bit like mcdonald is asian it's a packaged version which apparently will give you the satisfaction that you need whereas in the in the real world. people don't really function like that they negotiate meaning they try to get through and as an educational goal i think they need to be exposed to relinquish as it is used in a whole range of contexts so i'm a bit worried that this is a quick fix in some way whereas learning english you have to be culturally sensitive depending on who you're speaking to which part of the world you are what your goals are it's a much more complex task than what globish claims to be capable of achieving ok david i mean it's a very good point to you know the mcdonnell izati

nice family like that. >> very, very religious. you know? very religious. and i'm -- they're good people. >> five people including two children were in the home when this shooting happened. police are questioning two people apprehended after the robry. two residents were robbed last week, police say there is no connection to what happened today. >> and new developments tonight about the financially-strapped court system in san francisco with unprecedented employee layoffs and cuts looming, state judiciary officials are making an offer they say will help control bleeding red ink. but will it? really? vic lee is live with the story. >> the council makes state wide policy administering multi billion dollar budget for california's courts. very much on the counsel members minds was the $350 million hit they're taking this year because of state budget cuts. they met in san francisco where courts have been hit highest of all. court workers demonstrated outside of the state building. 200 will be laid off in the fall. nearly 40% of the county's court employees. 25 courtrooms in the civil division will close. timothy is a court clerk who te

you see these huge walls. these were supposed to be protective walls. this gives you a sense of the power of the gadhafi regime. this honestly is the nicest part of the city. you're seeing these large, very nicely [ inaudible ]. [ gunfire ] >> reporter: let's pull back a little bit, let's pull back just a little bit. let's pull back. i'm getting hit by some of the shells. it's getting a little bit too loud for you guys to hear me, and a little bit too much -- we're trying to get away -- i just got hit a little by one of the shells. >> sarah, we can hear you just fine but maybe you should take some cover here. go back to the wall where it's safe, possibly. >> reporter: yeah. we are. we are. we are back behind a wall. we are between two walls right now. what i can tell you is, would you mind picking up the uniforms back there -- >> sarah -- >> reporter: we're okay. we're between two walls now. we're fine. >> yeah. carry on. >> reporter: we're between two walls. >> yeah. i think we've lost your audio again, sarah. let's see if we can reconnect the audio. what you're telling us is great. we still have the picture. obviously showing us one of the uniforms that has been left behind. that's a gadhafi

you have to find out. >> any other questions? yes, sir? >> after these investigations were over, did the help -- >> that's one of the things that sort of very nice about the book, is you see different people's reactions. betty mcdonald went through this whole process as well. in fact she was married to colonel helper hepner who had bn their boss, and he helped burn the papers of the oss personnel before the fbi could get them. but she as well as julia and paul, never became bitter about the u.s. they were very bitter about that period, and they really hated mccarthy, but they stayed very optimistic in the ability of people to learn and change and, after all, they all returned to the united states and lived very happily in the united states, from 1960 on. so, they weren't bitter about that but they did have very sad and complicated feelings about the 1950s, even though that's when so much good happened to julia and her career. she would always have very mixed feelings about that period of time. [inaudible question] >> i'm sorry. how helpful was the government to you in getting information? >> well, you don't want to say unhelpful. that's an activ

nice to meet you, mr. president. moving on. that said, i think that president obama and his team also were the first ones to make things so political from the veryng, even after they won, they made everything about partisanship and this is the price you pay. >> just in case you missed the verbatim going back and forth, i heard it clearly, some people didn't. i have supersonic hearing. it's a gift and it's really worked out. >> ok. >> but what he was saying is look, did your vice president actually call tea partiers terrorists because this guy is a tea partyier and the president kind of skirted the issue. maybe he actually didn't know. when looking it up, to get the record straight, the vice president says he didn't but he didn't stop or -- or correct representative mike doyle when he said that during a meeting during the whole debt ceiling debate. >> here's why i tend to agree with what dana perino said. it's that they're already coming after the tea party in the mainstream media and elsewhere. and so when you -- when you show video like that, does that just make it easier for the tea party to be criticized? does that make it easier to compare t

you were just saying what was coming to mind? >> reporting what you saw, reporting on what you felt, and a very calm, collected manner. >> she got it from herself! >> she got it from herself! >> very niceu will tell your teacher what did you do this summer? i was a news reporter, right? that is awesome. that is really awesome. >> we think you're doing a great job. michelle, our producer, just got in my ear saying do you have any words of wisdom. i want to ask you for advice the way that video came poup you did a fantastic job and do you have any stories from the storm? when the storm came through, did you stay inside? did you go out when it was raining real hard? or what did you guys do during the storm? the basement the whole time? yeah. that is a safe spot. >> until we lost electricity. >> you lost electricity too. is your electricity back? >> uh-huh. >> charlotte, you're looking forward to the next storm now? they are a bit fun now? right? did you have a good time watching all of this happening? >> uh-huh. >> good. we got two people less scared of storms now. >> when you grow up, if you both want to be an intern, you have a bright future. we would be happy to have you. >> thanks for

very nice to speak to you. i wonder if you've ever considered that if you were to contrast the environmental protection agency with some of the other federal agencies, particularly, say, with cdc or fda or even doe, it's really an agency dominated by lawyers rather than by scientists, and that's undermining both to the credibility and the substance of what the agency can do. but it, it does allow for certain things to happen, and a lot of the things that have been criticized. do you have any thoughts on that? >> guest: yeah, i think that's a great point. it's striking how most of the experts promoting something like the global warming fantasy, they're all lawyers, they're not scientists. and similarly, another agency that, um, i think it's even a little more important than the epa that has been destroyed by lawyers is the cia. after watergate liberals decided, oh, this never would have happened if only we could defang the cia. um, you had democrats vowing to dismantle the cia, and they did. and now, now we don't have any human intelligence. we have a bunch of lawyers sitting around reading the pakistani, you know,

you are nice to say that. clark howard, great having you on. >> thank you. >> clark can teach you very, very much, much more than you were even able to hear amountun dates noon and 4 p.m. on our sister network hln. and this weekend, he starts a special four-part series, joplin, the road back, see him help tornado victims chart a financial course that will help them back on their feet. >>> neil bow land is one of the thousands of faa workers furloughed by the politics on capitol hill. he is happy to be going back to work but he is not so happy congress. he will join us right after this. it's salonpas. this is the relief i've been looking for. salonpas has 2 powerful pain fighting ingredients that work for up to 12 hours. and my pharmacist told me it's the only otc pain patch approved for sale using the same rigorous clinical testing that's required for prescription pain medications. proven. powerful. safe. salonpas. helps defends against occasional constipation, diarrhea, gas and bloating. with three strains of good bacteria to help balance your colon. you had me at "probiotic." [ female announcer ] phillips' colon health. >>> we mentioned that c

nice breeze blowing. so that was one thing that we were constantly concerned about, was human safety. i want to mention that there was actually a very, very good safety record. as you all know, as first responders that's your highest concern while you are dealing with whatever the emergency is. the last thing you want to do is to have some of your own people injured or killed. in this case we had about 44,000 people responding on a typical day. and that's a lot of people to be under your command, from a safety concern. so we spent a lot of time giving them as it is mentors training, making sure they have the right equipment, doing things like controlling the volatile organic compounds out at the site, being very careful what, what materials they used to clean their equipment. the liquids that were used back and actually remove hardened tarry oil from the side of a boat or the equipment that is used for skimming in itself can actually make people sick. so we had a lot of concern for that. fortunately, the oil itself, once it drifted for 50 or 100 miles, really had very few volatile organic compounds or hazardous vapors left in it. so it was, the cleaning materials t

were supposed to be protective walls. [ gunfire ] this also gives you a sense of the power of the gadhafi regime. [ gunfire ] this honestly is the nicest part of the city. you're seeing these large, very nicely -- [ gunfire ] all right, i'm going to back up. >> we're going to be speaking with sara, joining us live in a few minutes. we'll get an eyewitness account of what's going on now. >>> there's late word of gunfire inside a tripoli hotel where international journalists have been trapped. the hotel is still held by gadhafi's forces who may be using the journalists as human shields. a senior nato official is warning this war is not over yet and this hour no sign of moammar gadhafi or any word about his fate. we'll check in with our own matthew chance, holed up with the other journalists inside that hotel in tripoli. much more on that coming up. so many questions about the rebels. they are apparently in control of so much of the city. how much can they be trusted? i'll talk to the transitional council's ambassador of the united states, he's standing by live and much more on the earthquake that shook the east coast of the united states, the lingering fear, the possible danger, our own corres
