ben, it's not funny. come on, ben. come on, ben. i'm not called ben! what's that? where did you get it? um... from playing. playing what? a big boys' game. but let's not tell anyone, so keep it as our little secret?

ben turned and looked at me. you think i bought us a hustler? how pathettic tic do you think we are? >> i sort of felt like he targeted us. i didn't get that sense. may be i'm wrong. ben smiled. you are disappointed. no , i said, no just annoyed. he pulled down the waist band. i don't need a mercy suck. he looked up. mercy suck. whatever. undeterred ben got down to business. mercy i said, there was when mr. johnson knocked on the door. you may have figured it out by now. to us, he was still the great dark man. a mythical man or object to desire. it was probably why we jumped to attention. jesus. tucking the incriminating evidence. wait. let this go down first. >> why? i don't know. seems rude. ben widened his eyes at me. did you learn that from miss manners. i hid myself. this probably made me look grand. that somehow seemed preferable. men opened the door. he was standing there. i'm sorry fellows. come on in. our visitor shot a quick glance. can we get you something to drink? remaining seated. there's a soda machine. no thanks. did you have a h

ben ali was flown to saudi arabia. dozens of people have died in recent weeks as protests have swept the area. british tour companies have set up emergency evacuation plans. adam minute reports. -- ads am minot reports. >> young people in tunisia decided today was the day to overthrow a corrupt government. after weeks of sickening violence by police, the protests reached a crescendo. the day had started with a mass peaceful demonstration in front of the revialed ministry of interior building. they had been promised concessions by president ben ali allowing greater freedom of speech. they used their new rights not to support him but to demand that he go. >> we should not let this last chance go. we have to make it happen. >> people want change. and i guess -- change is happening. >> security forces were ordered to show restraint. the gamble by the government to loosen its vice like grip was back firing. >> this is a very public demonstration of what the tunisian people think of what their president said last night. pres

which was a very close ally of the regime of ben ali-- supported ben ali for some time until i think the day he fled. the foreign and european affairs minuter? france declared in parliament in public on television that france could send its security forces to help repress the tunisian demonstrators. and so, of course, this is a reaction that shows the lack of political intelligence on the part of the french diplomacy. i mean, i would go much further than tu if i can ben amor. for tunisians, it's something that's not acceptable. on the other hand i'm thinking that, well, it's also a way for us to make... to underline that in the end the tunisians did this on their own. they did it by themselves without any support and i think maybe that's better for the future of tunisia because it shows that it's the people who have decided to go through this... these riots and then demonstrations and in the end revolution. >> rose: do you both believe that what happened in tunisia may be contagious? >> i think so. i think we're starting to actually see its effects on the region. there's something ab

what is up with ben fong-torres?" i mean, your dad could have... he could have just decided to be fong... >> yes, he could have. >> hinojosa: ...but he had taken this "rres"... >> mhmm. >> hojosa: ...d heaid, "i'm going to keep it in my name." >> well, no, he didn't say any of that stuff, but at the hospital when the first child was born-- sarah-- a family friend who knew of these things said, "dude, you can't be fong because your legal name here is torres, all right?" >> hinojosa: oh! >> although now i like the sound of "tor-rez." it's a... i'm going to go with that now from now on at this late stage in life. "and you cannot be 'torres' because your real, god-given name is-- buddah-given name-- is 'fong,' so what are you going to do?" and my dad probably shrugged his shoulders and the guy said, "how about both of em? you know, have your bases covered." and so fong-torres. it could've been torres-fong or something else, but that's how they chose to do it, and then later on as we came along and learned english, we punc

>> couric: ben tracy reporting the latest from tucson. ben, thank you. another of the wounded just released from the hospital is 63-year-old pam simon who does community outreach for congresswoman giffords. earlier today, i talked with simon about the shooting. she says her surgeon told her she's lucky to be alive. >> i was shot in the chest and the bullet is still in me, in my upper hip, and it traveled all that distance internally and didn't seem to hit anything major. >> couric: will they try to remove the bullet at some point? >> only if it causes problems down the line. so it's a... it will forever be an internal souvenir of a really horrendous day. >> couric: tell me what you remember, pam, from that day. >> it started out as a typical saturday doing congress on your corner. they had just started. the congresswoman had spoken to the first person in line. i had chatted with the next couple in line, and they had said that they would appreciate having a photograph with the congresswoman, and we were getting ready to say "please turn around and look at

a little boy named ben. an illness claimed him back in 2002. and for his mother, there were no headlines or live media coverage. just her quiet, unbearable grief. >> i wanted to die. i wanted to curl up and never get out of bed. >> reporter: but it was in those depths she noticed the smallest acts of kindness mattered the most. maybe it was just someone holding a door or giving her a parking spot or just a smile. so she went to work to pass kindness along. she started making ceramic wind chimes that she would randomly hang around tucson just for people to find. she called them ben's bells. and they came with a note. "be kind." it was as simple as that. >> we don't have any fanfare. we don't do press releases. we don't do anything. we just go in, hang the bells and we leave. >> reporter: soon, jeanette and her kindness scavenger hunts became a tucson tradition. hundreds of volunteers pitched in every week to help. but then came last saturday. >> there's kind of a vibe people have right now. very, very bewildered, kind of overwhelmed vibe, and ju

thank you, dennis herrera, ben rosenfield, steve cava, carmen chu, and notably, willie brown. >> thank you, mr. mayor. our next speaker will be the city attorney, deninis herrera. >> thank you, jay. i thought it was notable to thank the mayor. he will be going to the lieutenant governor's office. i think it is notable that mayor newsom said he would continue to be involved. i think that is testimony to the leadership he has shown throughout what has been a difficult time over the last couple of months. there was a tremendous amount of work that had gone on ensuring the security of this museum, going forward. mayor gavin newsom and his chief of staff deserve a tremendous amount of the credit for showing the leadership that we are focused on getting a common solution that insures the viability of this institution. i want to thank them for their leadership, then rosenfield, who does a tremendous amount of the heavy lifting, i staff who did a lot of the negotiating with financial institutions to make sure everyone had some skin in the game. the fact is, mayor newsom alluded to, there are a

as ben said nsa and he said so eloquently, it's late. it is veterans day, and to david and i would like to dedicate our talks to all the men and women serving today who make us so proud to be americans every day. [applause] >> of course you know that eisenhower and nixon were wartime presidents. when ike was elected in 52 america was at war and korea. when my father was elected in 1958, we were deeply at war with vietnam. more than half a million, 550,000 young men, were fighting in vietnam when my father took office. and believe me, not one day went by during my father's presidency until the war ended in january of 1973 that my family didn't think of the troops, and didn't think of the 591 pows who were suffering in north vietnam, and to my father to abandon. i think that you can understand why one of the most moving things that happened, has happened to me since my father left the presidency was to meet a former pow from san diego a few years ago. and he told me that whenever they had their unions, that he and his comrades, quote, we a

>> couric: ben tracy in tucson tonight. ben, thank you. as for congresswoman giffords' condition the survival rate, a bullet wound to the head is only about 5%, but her surgeons are confident tonight she'll be one of the lucky ones. >> reporter: at tucson's university medical center congresswoman gabrielle giffords' condition is still listed as critical but her doctors are increasingly optimistic. you're confident now she's going to survive? >> i am 101% confident she's going to survive. there's no way she's going to die. okay, that's not an issue for me. >> reporter: giffords is able to breathe on her own but has a breathing tube inserted to protect her lungs from infection. she remains sedated but there's been no further swelling of her brain. >> a penetrating injury through the skull really the survival, let alone recovery, is abysmal. she has no right to look this good and she does. >> reporter: five other victims remain in the hospital. among those discharged is mavy stoddard whose husband dorrie was killed shielding her from the bull

ben this is obvious that there are internal regulations in the division there is the head instruction which regulates the flights of the most important people in the country . and the confusion doesn't stop here. or your. pilot had to back up airports minsk n.v. tips in this really says a lot about the quality of the cruise preparation because b.t.s. wasn't even working that day. the official investigation found pilot error was to blame despite mounting evidence poland remains intent on pursuing its own investigation into the crash and trying to prove the russian air traffic control was also responsible action some say only for political leverage ahead of the country's parliamentary elections polish aviation experts agreed with the investigation report and its findings and unless the politicians are willing to do the same instead of trying to shift the blame game voter support many more similar revelations could come to light placing the polls in an even more uncomfortable position kashrut as r.t. moscow. russia has reaffirmed its ambition to set itself up as a global financial sun to

ben: the huge projects- i sometimes worry. i've read jane jacobs and "life and death of great american cities" and it seems to me that even the most well-intentioned large-scale projects can go awry. maybe the lots could be divvied up just a little bit smaller? you could have more of a real neighborhood, like you see in certain parts of new york city, where clearly there are tall residential buildings, but they're smaller and next to each other. and it creates more of this vibrant neighborhood with different interests, where you have museums and residences and commercial interests and all different things are right there. that's what keeps a community vibrant. my worry is... what if it doesn't work? what if one of them doesn't work so well? what if it doesn't sell out? what if they end up being kind of empty? what if they're just totally filled up with yuppies? you end up with a very one dimensional neighborhood and that's kind of my great worry. chris: well, i think we're going to get two things. we're going to get new market

missing one point five tons of gold oh so as we've been reporting of course to knees and president ben ali fled the country but he took twenty four percent of the nation's gold supply notice that he didn't take twenty four percent of the nation's u.s. dollar supply know only gold as money then they know that also according to egypt news the country's airport has intercepted fifty nine shipments of gold directed for the netherlands worth tens of millions of dollars that's made of that gold it could be somebody rich an agent getting ready for the collapse of the mubarak regime just as an tunisia and just as possibly coming in yemen or any of these other dictatorships supported by the u.s. well i think it's interesting that as the dictators flee the country they're taking their gold with them and a lot of countries now are looking at their gold reserves to find out if they're really there as we reported on our show sixty percent of germany's gold reserves are held in the united states or held at the new york fed and there's already talk in the u.s. of commandeering germany's gold and putt
