anna needs the money. though she is 26, she is almost too old. this clinic is looking for even younger donors, and it has plenty of applicants to choose from. >> every day, we get calls from two or three women who want to donate eggs. we now have a list of 200 donors, even though we do not have that many potential recipients. >> donating eggs is a lucrative source of income. although in spain it is illegal to sell them, donors receive money in the form of compensation. four years ago, this professor was a member of spain's committee on bioethics and reproductive medicine. the committee set the maximum donor compensation at 900 euros. >> i was one of the few people who was against that amount because i saw it as a financial incentive for potential donors, rather than just a payment for expenses. >> michele, just six weeks old, was conceived in a laboratory from her father's sperm and egg from an anonymous donor. her parents had to pay the clinic 6000 euros for the procedure. they empathize with the donor's possible motives. >> i was a student for

want to bring in two conservative cnn contributors, anna navarro in cambridge, massachusetts and will cain here with me. republicans lost with a campaign focused on what they turned as a failed obama economy. is it time for them to change their message on the economy? >> well, look, i'm happy you're talking about the economy because i think the lesson that too many republicans and democrats for that matter are taking from this election is it's all about demographics. the republicans lost latinos because of immigration, for example, or the youth for a variety of reasons. those are all true, but focusing on that too narrowly denies that there is a problem with the republicans economic message. here's my small criticism of you, christine. >> make sure it's narrow. >> i think it's a larger macro view over elections. look, republicans have lost five of the last six popular votes for president. i think the republican economic message is having trouble resonating with the middle class. the middle class seeing how it makes their life better, when pitted against an opponent who says i can do t

good sunday afternoon to both of you. >> anna marie, let me start with you. for about two days after the election, everyone is holding hands, singing kumbaya. no one is singing any more. all of that optimism seems to have disappeared. we're hearing more lawmakers saying publicly, we just heard from lindsay graham yesterday. i had a congressman from vermont on the show, he said the same thing that we could very well be jumping over this cliff. posturing or reality? >> well i think it's something of a reality. but this is case where the moniker of fiscal cliff i think is going to wind up hurting republicans. because it sounds so scary. even though there is not going to be any immediate fiery death, if things don't happen. and i think the president kind of looks better going into this, i think they know that they say in game of chicken, he who cares the least wins. and i think it's the white house who kind of just is going to let the republicans play this out. however they want. and there's also a chance that boehner will have more ability to make a deal after t

(laughter.) >> she does represent a certain class of american women at that time, who moved to english. >> are you surprised at the success of this? when you first read, did you think, oh, man i have to get in here because this is going to be great. >> i certainly felt, man who knows whether any project is going to -- >> it was a proper page turner by the end of the first episode, one that had been introduced to whatever it is 18 characters, very vividly and i think that fascination that i had upon reading it got translated on the screen and they want to know what happens next to those characters. >> rose: laid again

i'm on the anna winter parade. i love it. >> you told me you thought it was a good choice. >> it was a good choice because look, if anything we can do to -- if she goes to france to annoy the french at this point would be a good thing, and french fashion used to cut it, but does anna wintour really thing that today. her nickname is nuclear wintour. that's what they called her. she should be the ambassador to china or russia. that's much better for her. >> she probably thinks you're sarcastic. >> she makes a lot of money for the president. the president obviously did well on the celebrity set. he and michelle are the darlings of vogue magazine. she's been on the cover many times. it's not surprising that anna wintour would be in their orbit. what qualifies her to be a u.s. ambassador. >> if you look at any of these choices? let's be honest. the choice for ambassador for britain for the last 15 years has been, whether it's republican or democrats has been one of the biggest donors. it's not a hugely diplomatic post.

. >> so anna, he also said the white house has wasted another week. now two days later, they're meeting again. did boehner's remarks make the difference? >> good. look, i think it's great. we cannot reach a deal if you are posturing and negotiating through press conferences. they need so sit in a room, they need to look at each other, they need to talk constructive debate, and they need to move this ball forward. i think what happened today is a very good sign. americans should be encouraged. it's a good thing. when our congressional leadership and our president are actually capable of meeting and talking about the difficult issues that face this country. what a refreshing and new idea. >> when you hear people like -- so you hear members of the gop, anna and lz, saxby chambliss, corker, they're all saying, we're willing to do this, but the messaging you hear on television is quite different, than what is actually being said behind closed doors, you make a very good point, anna. lz, do you think they're going to get something done with face-to-face tal

[laughter] i want to follow up on norman's point about the question of audience. norman is arguing that talk of zionism, risks alienating the audience, boring the audience and that it's just not very practical to engage in discussions of zionism in our opposition to israeli conduct. zionism's a charged word. so is the bds. and i think that our, this question has been raised by a number of people, what is your position on boycott, divestment and sanctions? would you both care to comment on that? >> i support it fully. [laughter] [applause] [laughter] >> i, i won't say whether i support fully or partially for a very simple reason, because there are many versions of bds out there. and to speak of it as if it's a unified, single homogeneous whole, i think, is disingenuous which is just a fancy word for dishonest. so what is bds? let's take a practical example. well, first of all, l

but going to anna marie's point, when you look at the hand that mr. boehner is playing from his own party, when you asked democrats whether they approve or how the president is handling the talks, 79% of democrats think the president is handling it well. only 39% of republicans approve of boehner's handling of it. so it's not like he has the wind to his back. >> that's right. i think that speaks to, really, this is a fractionist party. boehner's is the leader of this house faction, but i think the republican party is very split nationwide and those polls suggest -- and i do think, also, that we're seeing a lot in the public play out. but there's all sorts of private talks going on that we just don't know about. you heard from pelosi today about talks that she had. of what her impressions of where this deal actually is. you heard from jay carney the same thing. they don't want to play this out in public. they don't want to play it out in that way because it might jeopardize a deal later on. on the one hand, you have boehner with a public theater that m

anna jung, nhk world, seoul. >>> the prime minister of thailand has inspected a massive infrastructure project under way over the border in myanmar. in bangkok we have more details. >>> countries and companies around the world are paying attention to myanmar. neighboring thailand is in poor position to top the economic potential. they have visited a special economic zone being developed in southern myanmar. the project could become a logistic hub serving the whole of southeast asia. on monday he took a one-day trip to myanmar's port town on the indian ocean. she met with the president to discuss the $50 billion u.s. dollar project which includes a deep seaport and power plants. it was the first visit by a thai prime minister since the two countries signed a memorandum of understanding in 2008 to develop the area. >> translator: by april of next year, clearer details should be available, and we should also be able it to invite investors to join the prakt. >> the dawei project is set to become the major access point connecting the indian on or about ocean to the south china he sea. it sh

and anna wintour after all is british. and the guessing game even began as to who might replace her at vogue. those rumors over the past several months actually had died down, brooke, until today. but you can imagine why people are talking about this. listen, as one writer put it, the tea party has the coke brothers. mitt romney had bain capital, but only president obama has anna wintour. this is a woman who was one of the president's most powerful boundlers of donations. she raised more than $500,000 toward president obama's re-election campaign. she held a $40,000 a plate dinner party at sarah jessica parker's townhouse in new york earlier in the fall. she later held lavish fund-raisers, star studded by the way, in london and paris. >> so she's raised all this money and done so much for the obamas, what is she saying? what is vogue saying about this? >> you know, vogue will only officially say that these are still rumors and that she's very happy in her current job. listen, i do know anna wintour a little bit, brooke. an

anna kooiman personally knows that. she is live in clarks summit, pennsylvania. anna? >> reporter: yeah. good day to you, jon and to everybody at home. last night we actually got caught in the brunt of it as well. the road conditions deteriorated so quickly, we had to stop here rather than traveling a little further northeast. in some parts of the northeast, a foot to even two feet of snow is going to be piled up when all said and done. here it is, i would say, it's reading closer to six but i would say it is a little bit less in some places. we stopped ironically at a church here in clark's summit called our lady of snows church. last year the northeast didn't get a whole heck of a lot of snow but this year, even sweet baby jesus in the nativity scene is getting to enjoy the white fluffy stuff. the town here of clarks summit, i talked to the borough president, she said last year the lack of snow really helped their bottom line, jon, because they had a surplus in their budget. they have even been able to stockpile some of the salt they're using for this snow. as for ho

now, if anna wintour can be effective, more power to her. megyn: and redo the whole fashion scene over in france or the u.k.. >> and that'd be fine too. the embassy probably needs new decoration. megyn: president bush had a guy who was big into horse racing, so they tend to go with people who raise a lot of money for them and are a lot of dough so they can engage in these things and are loyal to them. >> i would not underestimate the importance of being personally close to the president. when that ambassador has to go in and deliver a message that's unpleasant, when they know it comes directly from the president, the other side will listen. megyn: well, all that plus, you know, her dad was british. [laughter] thank you so much, ambassador. >> anytime. [laughter] megyn: well, it is looking increasingly likely that the president will get billions in new revenue as part of the tax and spending deal, but now he's also demanding the power to grow our national debt as much as he wants whenever he wants without congressional approval. why that may

nhk world's anna jung has the story. >> reporter: yong gyung stays home to watch after her children, ages 6 and 3, while her husband is at work. after graduating from college, she worked as a magazine reporter for ten years, but she quit to raise her first child. now the 34-year-old mother would like to work again. this would mean putting her youngsters in child care, but she worries how to balance work and family. >> translator: my husband works late at night. my parents live far away, so it's tough for my mother to baby sit. i could leave them in child care until late, but i would feel bad. i think it will be tough finding work that fits my schedule. >> translator: on this day, a member of an organization that supports working mothers visits lee. sponsored by the government, the group carries out support projects for working mothers. it also visits mothers' homes to providing counseling. >> reporter: the organization also offers seminars for mothers who have concerns. here, working couples receive advice. rather than walking your partner to comfort you, you should comfort each othe

and we send anna werner there. >> reporter: the herald school district is one building with 103 students. it's 20 minutes away from the nearest sheriff's station so suspect david thweet created what he calls a guardian plan after the attack at virginia tech. >> these people that go in and do these horrible acts, they're evil, but they're not that crazy. they always know where they're going to get resistance. >> reporter: teachers and administrators here carry concealed handguns. they won't say how many faculty members are armed, they get extra training, but the district would not give us details. do you understand that some people are horrified when you start talking about putting guns in schools with children? >> sure, but it was a pretty horrific thing that happened the other day, you know? and quite a few people are not horrified. quite a few people that we have in our district bring their students to us for that protection. >> reporter: texas law allows concealed weapons in schools with the district's permission. herald was the first district to do it. a similar proposal was vetoed b
