y bienvenidos a otra ediciÓn de "enfoque", desde washington d.c. hoy 15 de agosto, les saluda josÉ dÍaz balart. vamos a hablar sobre un sinnÚmero de temas, pero comenzamos en mÉxico. hace semanas ya que se estÁ hablando mÁs y mas de la posibilidad de legalizar las drogas en ese paÍs, porque las personas que apoyan ese punto de vista piensan que eso podrÍa minimizar la violencia por parte del narcotrÁfico. a la vez, el presidente, felipe calderÓn, esta misma semana dijo que la guerra contra los carteles de la droga se estÁ ganando. rogelio moratagle tiene un repaso de esto desde la capital mexicana. presidente mexicano: la expansiÓn de la delincuencia conllevÓ a dos importantes... rogelio: fue inevitable que el tema de la legalizaciÓn de las drogas en mÉxico volviera a la discusiÓn. sobre todo, cuando el ex presidente, vicente fox, apareciÓ en escena una vez mÁs para decir que apoya la medida. a travÉs del blog que publica en la pÁgina del centro que lleva su nombre, fox propuso legalizar la producciÓn, la distribucion y la vent

y bienvenidos a otra ediciÓn de "enfoque", desde washington d.c. gracias por dejarnos ser parte de su domingo 29 de agosto. desde chile ha vuelto a surgir una muestra electrizante y asombrosa de la capacidad de supervivencia de un grupo de hombres. surgiÓ desde las entraÑas del desierto de atacama. 700 metros bajo tierra, atrapados en una mina de cobre y oro, a 800 kms al norte de santiago, 33 mineros esperan ser rescatados tras sobrevivir a un derrumbe ocurrido ya hace 24 dÍas. angie sandoval nos tiene toda la informaciÓn directamente desde esa zona. >>¿quÉ tal, jose? aquÍ estamos afuera de la mina de san josÉ, en medio del desierto de atcama, al norte de chile. y los trajimos a la ladera de una montaÑa donde estÁn la 33 banderas que simbolizan a los 33 mineros que estÁn enterrados no muy lejos de aquÍ. en cada bandera estÁ el nombre de cada minero y tambiÉn mensajes. este dice: "te esperamos, alex". y tambiÉn los familiares le han puesto estampitas de santos, de san expedito, de san lorenzo, que es el patrono de los mineros. por su

it's also here in d.c. that the chef who wants to change the way america looks at food offered me one last lesson during last call at mini bar. >> andres: this is a mojito. >> cooper: that's a mojito? >> andres: that's a mojito. put this on your tongue and it's going to explode. and you're going to find this amazing. take a look. what you see here like a solid thing. like you will think actually inside is liquid. because outside is a very thin membrane, but is liquid. and you say how we make that? well, in the end, it's simple. we use a seaweed that we call algae. we use a salt that is a salt of calcium. that one with the other allows us to make things like this. spherification. i don't like to tell people about the ingredients i'm using, but they are very not normal ingredients. average ingredients. the right use of those ingredients allows me to make dishes like this. >> cooper: i'm trying to resist licking that off the plate. >> andres: hey, cut the cameras off. ( laughs ) >> welcome to the cbs sports up

were d.c. had a law said you can't have a gun at all and then they had to do it again in chicago because d.c. is not a state once it was spread to all the states that essentially says that the federal law supersedes or the constitution supersedes any chance for local municipalities do exactly what you go is trying to do and they're not the only ones there are other the second amendment foundation is suing westchester county in new york over a clause that they have that says if someone wants a concealed carry permit they have to show good cause why they deserve one more than a regular citizen well the ruling says and the language the constitution says keep and bear if you can't bear it outside your house what's the point of that language being in the constitution so i think we're going to see a number of cases that will rise the supreme court again for clarification that say our cities and counties and states allowed to make the regulation so restrictive that they essentially you know blur out t

thank you for taking the time to come out from washington, d.c.. dale, thank you for your stewardship in the region. i want to thank everybody who has already acknowledged. on behalf of jose, well done. i think this is my fifth groundbreaking. unbelievable. we were here with senator boxer, twice with speaker policy. i think we found some neighbors and did one of our own. this is a product that goes back many years. i remember when i was 10 years old, the parking and traffic commission in 1996 to reject never talking about this project. in 1955, folks said that it was time to fix this half hour affair. -- the repair -- thoroughfare. it needed to be structurally change. hundreds of thousands of vehicles go across every day. on the weekend, we see just as many cars built over as we do during the

let's see it was four d.c. but you'll have 18% less here, so that's the number you want, you divide this by that and you get that. so this would be 926 a watt. therefore, you can compare apples to apples. they have a standard calculator that they use on the web and they include that printout on your bid and they have to file that printout in your rebate application. so there is another possibility of lowering costs, the group buy. when i went, in i went in with a bunch of friends because i thought i wanted to bring people in because i knew all of these people, these greeny homeowners that were needing to walk the talk and because i brought a lot of businesses vendor, they lowered all of our price because this economy is of scale. maybe that price can drop 50 cents a watt or more. that's another idea. there are ones that are just beginning where you can actually lease the system. you don't have to put any money up front at all. somebody else will own the system for you. you may pay an upfront cost a little bit t

washington d.c. . so g.m.o. us are clearly one part of the obesity puzzle and we'll look further into their use and their effects tomorrow but another part of the obesity epidemic stems from the fact that our appetites are simply too large and that we're too addicted to greasy cheesy fatty just think of new products from fast food joints like k.f.c.'s double down burger king's upcoming pizza burger you know with those appetites change if people knew how many calories they were consuming when the order of those trying burgers with that app was a deterrent yesterday the f.b.i. released new guidelines requiring that calorie information now be posted next to the name of the food in all restaurant chains and all vending machines but even that doesn't help and should we let the f.d.a. regulate what we eat or would that be a nanny state going too far or joining me to discuss it in the studio is serbia's smith vice president of the young conservative coalition from new york we have allison kilkenny blogger and co-host o

in d.c., kiplinger's is based in d.c. they have beautiful neighborhoods in the rest of d.c. and wonderful suburbs which are filled with, you know, biotech communications. just wonderful universities and it's really a booming area outside of all of the federal spending. >> how about the boom in austin, texas, coming in at number one. you say it provides a great home for entrepreneurs and small business owners? >> yeah, i think austin is the proto typical business going in the next decade. it's got education and it's got a lot of public, private partnerships. the government does play a role, but it's very judicious. so the government, for example, has a capital funds and so they'll fund things, but they're not going to get their fingers in because they know that austin is this tremendous place for innovation. also, it's like the music capital of the country, and that actually spurs innovation among businesses. >> that's fascinating. why is that? >> well, programs. the same kind of thought proce

we want to check in with sal now, would is telling us it's pretty busy in eastern d.c. d.c. county. >> d.c -- in east contra costa county. >> it's busy in contra costa county and keep in mind -- this a peek of the -- the peak of the commute there. we're watching public transportation. so far we haven't had any word of delays on the system. as i mentioned, we keep an eye on that because sometimes things are going well and then all of a sudden they go bad quickly. this is a look at the bay bridge. traffic is backed up to about the foot of the macarthur maze. we had some earlier problems as you -- there was a stalled vehicle up on the upper deck. >>> and we have a look at northbound 17, southbound 17, there is a problem in the mountains. southbound 17 in redwood estates a minor crash. it looks like we have a few minor caltrain delays on one of the bullet trains. very minor. that's all we have. here's steve. >>> good morning. we have a lot of areas of fog out there. in fact, some visibility restricted to about a half-mile or less for some. over the bay, it's very mild. 50s to 60

here in washington, d.c. they talk about tax cuts the same they talk about spending increases as though the government owned all of the money. they say, are they paid for? i think deciding on a government spending increase is very different on whether or not we allow the american people to keep more of their hard-earned tax dollars. as john boehner just said the most important thing right now is to get this economy moving again, to create jobs, and to get federal spending under control. >> this is the only reason that democrats in my party have a fighting chance in the fall of holding majorities in the house and senate. mike and i are friends, but this argument is not credible. you can't have a, b, c and d and say you don't need them. you have to cut taxes and finding spending cuts. i think we ought to reform long-term entitlement spending in the country. you can't say you're for tax cuts and spending discipline and bringing down the debt. everyone needs an adult conversation here, and that's not happening. w
