well just because i'm speaking from from north america and so for us when we talk about terrorism that's what we're typically talking about i understand that that's not the case for example if you go to the middle east and you say you're you want to research terrorism they may well think that you're talking about government attacks against civilians academics though tend to separate. we use a different definition when non-state actors attack civilians versus when stayed out later very you think it's very. very immediate isn't it it's very convenient well it's certainly it's certainly convenient for our research because when it's convenient for a guy who intersection it's convenient for you know me i think like you know it's can feel convenient for governments for him what do you think about that exactly and i think if you look around you can find over one hundred different definitions of the word terrorism and there is a reason why we can never agree on any one definition peter the reason is that it's a derogatory term it's a horrible label that nobody wants to accept so therefore it's v

right but words have different meanings in different regions and in north america terrorism denotes non-state actors that's not true of other regions in the world ok wm. i live in north america and i don't ex clued state actors i think the definition which was mentioned earlier which is the same one used by the un and the f.b.i. and the cia he is is the use of violence or the threat of violence against civilians for a political purpose that's a very good definition and it implies applies as well to a state actor as to a an individual and certainly includes almost all of us foreign policy for him your thoughts. peter i'm going to try and you know i think it's about time i disappoint william one more time because the reason i have to bring religion back into the picture is because five six seven million american muslims they're all being looked upon as suspects you know you have to walk into my shoes to understand why that discussion is relevant to us because all of a sudden when the bombing happened in boston i was seeing patients in the hospital that day and all of a sudden i knew a

the automaker said today it posted its best quarter ever in north america. ford earned 41 cents a share, four cents more than estimates. revenues revved up 10% thanks to the rollout of all models. earlier today i talked with ford's chief financial officer and asked him what ford has to do to keep that sales momentum up for the rest of the year. >> i think we have to do what we've been doing, our business is a product business. and i think we've got great products that we have just introduced, we have more coming this year. we are managing the cost of the business well, keeping our production in line with demand and working the top line. i think we continue doing that. >> bob, why all the demand for these cars? is it because ford is making better cars? or is it that people just need new ones given that the age of the vehicles on the road are so old? >> yeah, that's a very important point, suzie. there is a strong replacement demand element behind the industry growth in north america. and certainly that's part of the story. but clearly the consumers are respon

it effects cars that are in north america, europe, japan, china. and it varies based on the automaker. i want to show you the breakdown here. most of the recalls are from toyota and honda. in fact, more than one million of those cars that are recalled are each of those companies. at toyota they include the corolla, sequoia, tundra, lexus se 430. and with toyota it's a one-two punch. it's really bad timing. toyota is just coming off a recall of 7 million vehicles last year. 8 million between 2009 and 2010. here's the issue with this recall. the passenger air bag can deploy with too much pressure. and let me break down to you what this means. what happens is the pressure causes one plastic part, the inflater, it's casing can actually burst sending pieces flying. now, honda, toyota, nissan and mazda, they all use the same japanese manufacturer. now, the stock in fact is closed down today 9% on this news. no injuries or deaths have been reported, but there have been several crashes. such a wide reaching recall, it can hit confidence. we saw this after

north america versus dzhokhar tsarnaev, the offense listed first is use of a weapon of mass destruction. mr. tsarnaev is being charged with the federal crime of using a weapons of mass destruction, but may mean it the way the fbi defines it, not as the military does. this does not mean that he had access to a chemical, biological, or nuclear device. it means that he used something that blew up. dzhokhar tsarnaev is a u.s. citizen. he will be tried in a civilian court. as of this evening, a senior official tells msnbc news that he can be described thus far in his initial interrogation at the hospital as cooperative. joining us now for the interview tonight is a former acting solicitor general of the united states, professional of national security law georgetown. he successfully argued the case of hamdan versus rumsfeld. professor neal katyal, it's great to have you here. thank you very much for your time. >> thanks for being here. >> so the difference between wmds as a military matter and wmds as a criminal matter, for

european new trade agreement, why not make canada and mexico part of it and not make it a north america-eu trade agreement, it is hard to say what is made in canada as opposed to in the u.s. because of the so-called supply chains, like probably something that is sold here might be 40 percent of the content comes from mexico, so increasingly we are going to have to think of ourselves as an integrated economic zone but given what is going on with energy and lawyer and immigration reform i would take, if i were advising the president i would say big north america initiative, continue your pivot to asia, be wary of the getting more involved in the middlmiddle et than youave to. >> rose: but what role would you play in the israeli-palestinian issues? >> years ago i wrote a different book about the idea of rightness, ripeness, if there ever was a situation that was unripe -- >> rose: be careful when you write books, things might change. >> point out what your enemy could do. if there was ever a situation unripe for diplomatic process it is the middle release light now in terms of the israeli sit

we live in our province, in our community, just as everyone else does in north america. we know that our quality of life depends on our respect for the land that we live in, and we accept that we're global citizens with responsibility to the planet that we leave behind, and we have to be with respect to that. and i am going to be forthright today, because the truth is that alberta is home to some of the most environmentally friendly, progressive legislation in the world. and you wouldn't know that from the clamor of the debate. we have nothing to hide. we're a democracy, we're transparent, and we'll talk about our facts. we'll talk about what our record has been. and i'll start by acknowledging the most basic one. energy does come with an environmental cost since its production and its use generate greenhouse gases that affect the climate. the oil sands contribute 21 percent of alberta's greenhouse gas emissions, 7 percent of canada's emissions, and less than 0.15 percent of global emissions. the canadian oil sands in total produce less greenhouse gas emissions than the

and special event usage at a cruise terminal is a relatively new occurrence in north america. we hear examples of ships sailed in the afternoon and events that evening. it's our goal, and elaine said we had very conservative estimates and assumptions in our modeling. as we get in there operating we will try to maximize the turn-around as we can. we would like to have that, after the ship sails at 4 p.m. and work like heck and get it turned around and make more revenue. >> my back of the napkin calculation, it looks like we will make more revenue from the events than the capacity security charge. >> my own goal is to have as many ships as we can. and to be open at 365. >> along that line, how far in the advance do the cruise lines notify us they are coming? that's a problem for event planners. >> the good news is that we have 90% of the calls booked at least a year in advance. we are getting our calls for 2014. and those bookings look strong, near record-levels for passengers. and there are changes due to weather or whatever. but generally speaking we know well in advance to pl

you've seen a couple of them recently, not only akzo architectural coatings in north america, but spray lab, a north american industrial player at the end of 2012 and we just announced an acquisition of a a bolt in our aerospace business depth which should play nicely with our product array, supporting commercial and military aviation. >> that's how the coatings business can be strong, even though people think there is not that much construction going on. i want to quote you from the call. this was optimistic. you said, we feel the business will get better overall in europe. you mentioned it the first quarter is very week is very weak. you think the comparables will get better in the second half. are you the only person in business i talked to who you say europe could be bottoming, you see something in your numbers that gives us hope and faith about that? >> well, jim, i would say that the first quarter was exceptionally weak in europe and we think that in the second half of the year, we're going to see a stablization at these weaker levels. we're not looking for improvement in europe i

what we really have is an energy technology revolution and these advances aren't unique to north america. they're spreading all over the globe, and who's spearheading this transformation? who represents the vanguard of the oil revolution and its intellectual property? easy. that's core labs. clb. i like to think of it as a technology company that happens to be in the oil service business. core's proprietary technology helps oil companies figure out where to drill. it also helps them squeeze more crude out of existing reservoirs. now, core labs got hit hard today, down $3.41, 2.63%. the company just reported a terrific quarter. 7 cent earnings beat off $1.15 basis. revenue coming in higher than expected up 11% year over year. and raising its guidance for next quarter. don't have a lot of companies doing that. i think the stock bounces back and then some tomorrow. typically core labs is one of those stocks that seems to get hit every tile time it reports, though. we've got to figure out exactly what's going on and don't worry if it doesn't go up immediately. i don't know fuel get a post-qu

> > the biggest challenge now is continuing to find ways to grow particularly in north america and in europe. so in europe the opportunity to find distressed hotels and convert them to our brands. and in north america in particular, even though interest rates are low, construction lending has been almost non-existent. and what that means is hotel supply in the u.s. for example is very tight. occupancies, even though we are still relatively early in the recovery are very high. what we need to do is see construction lending become unleashed so we can start to meet some of that demand and build some hotels, which by the way will create jobs, both in the construction as well as the operation of those properties. > > nice to have you here and best of success to you. trader andrew keene, president of keeneonthemarket.com joins us now for a closer look at alcoa which comes out with earnings and leads off that earnings parade. good morning to you and happy monday andrew. > > good morning angie. > > so what do you see in the charts for alcoa? > > unfortunately its nothing good. everytime i loo

take a look at what they have done in north america. look at what the segment operating margin in north america did yesterday. it came in at 4.9%. it was a nice uptick. i also really liked what i saw on the gross margin line. of 260 basis points. right now, that is a great spot for the company. it is keeping its membership base happy and monitor rising as well. i do think that mid- single-digit margins are the nice reasonable number for the company over the next couple of years. liz: amazon continuing to say we are expanding. we are pumping up our employee numbers. that brings me to alan. going to yield brick-and-mortar store. that is walmart. why are you on t walmart versus amazon? >> it is not a matter of management at all. i think both management teams are great. we are not as adamant as we were two months ago when amazon was hitting 284, an all-time high. walmart was in the 60s. if you had to pick one, you know, i would pick walmart, mainly because of what you see today with amazon. it is down 25-30 points from its high. the numbers

now in north america it's mostly tranquil, but there are a couple things to talk about. the risk of severe weather will continue into the east coast of the carolinas. and rain is intensifying over the southern plains into your friday. hail and gusty winds are also expected. towards the north, temperatures are warming up. 12 degrees in winnipeg and 19 in bismarck, north dakota. flooding is going to be a risk along the red river valley. across the east, lots of sunshine on the northeast. finally, in europe, then, we can see the comma shaped clouds over here. underneath it, heavy rain and thunderstorms. in algeria, more than 80 millimeters has been reported. it looks like the system will move to the north slowly. heavy rain thunderstorms and hail likely across the western peninsula. parts of france, and italy will be targeted by a duststorm due to strong winds. toward the north then we have a cold front swinging through. that's going to produce cool down temperatures, for example in london, 12 degrees, ahead of the system warming up to 22 in berlin and 28 in vienna. but tho

heading over to north america we've got some wintery picture across much of the north. and into ontario. we're going to see a late season winter storm coming your way. down below that, severe thunderstorms are likely. we're not going to be ruling out the chances of tornados. and that system will be sagging, a cold front, that's going to be creating heavy snow across colorado again. denver at 17 degrees. a quick look here in europe, you have the iberian peninsula. spain's looking at some snow. but mainly precipitation across this continent is rain, mixed precipitation will scatter across the scandinavian peninsula. looking warm in london. paris at 16 degrees. here's your extended forecast. >>> and that's all for now on this edition of "newsline." i'm roger pradhan in tokyo. we'll be back at the top of the hour so do stay with us on nhk world. >> "california's gold" is produced in association with kcet, los angeles and is seen statewide on california public television. this series is endorsed by: >> is it possible to drive a car and still have a clean environment? to refi

america and the number one for green jobs according to the best magazines and we're also rated highly for losing weight. in the case of san francisco i believe we're so burglarized. the progress of our city is no accident. indeed we're vital, we're strong city because of the fiscally responsible direction we've teen, deliberate choice we've made to attract people into our city. whether it's a reform of our housing or infrastructure on the significant challenges we've faced we put the people's priorities head of city hall. and on this course my fellow san franciscans i believe with all my heart we must continue were while these truths have never been self-evident we have to speak of our freedom. the same is our commit to continue the path of progress that we're on today. yet the worse of economic times are behind us we cannot relent to our commit with fiscal prudence with our taxpayers' money. we must not be distracted and retreat from making smart investments in our people in our neighborhood and in our infrastructure. i know that some maybe told me in better times to forsake the peop

people in the eastern half of north america are dealing with severe weather conditions. we see more in world weather. >> good morning, catherine, yes, we are looking at the snaking jet the stream across the united states and canada. yet again you can see it all the way down in the south, plunging down, making it a wintry picture into the great lakes region. so while we're seeing lots of snow up here but down towards coming from the gulf of mexico, this is going to be heavy down pours. we are seeing flooding conditions in chicago. anthat's going to mainnto your thursday and into friday as it shifts towards the east. still the severity is quite intense. we do have a report, touchdown of tornado reported in mississippi and illinois. two reports already. and that's likely to continue. the risk of larger hail, damaging winds also are going to be unleashed from this severe weather system. toward the north of that, heavy snow will still be piling up. take a look at a picture coming in from colorado on thursday. it's a beautiful picture. but still that snow's there and it's not

moving onto north america, it's winter in the north and spring down towards the south. typical pattern through this year, but we've seen quite some heavy amounts of snow. this is quite unseasonable. colorado you've seen 72 centineaters many the past 24 hours. that's likely to continue with skbens noefl. that freezing rain will make traveling very difficult. we cannot rule out the fact there are possibilities of you think leashing tornadoes, hail yet again. that will continue and damaging winds and heavy rain as well. the temperatures are shaping up like this. new york at 16 degrees. oklahoma is down to 13 degrees. denver a bit of milder temperatures than what we compare from yesterday. here across asia we're looking at heavy rain. it has been an ongoing story for a week and for the flooding risk is high. it's going to be high due to the amount of rain that's pouring here in south eastern areas. that's going to continue into the weekend. things are pretty dry and we look tarts, tokyo 22. seoul at 16 for today. that's going to be dropping in towards the weekend. we want t

the notion that the pipe line in north america will change gasoline prices will be pure fantasy. we'll only get cheap gas with a strong dollar. >> talk about jobs. everybody is focused there. the way to get it is energy production in the u.s. though? >> the way to get sustainable jobs is private investment. the key stone pipe line is private market dollars and not government dollars and that is how you create job growth in the long-term. it is not government creating temporary jobs. i will bullish on what it would do for jobs in this counselry. our country is awash in cash . businesses are not investing it because they are stymed by the government. >> rich, i saved you from the last. you know how extraordinary the job production is. by the way, students looking for jobs are starting to look right now. they can make 26 dollars an hour in north dakota dack? >> i am from dack and they are paying ever bey to mcdonald franchise to compete with oil field labor. >> wow. >> but the keystone pipe line. rick cited 20,000 jobs. but it is a 10-x factor and numerous groups studied this . the

america proposed contract allows us to do. we also anticipate including a number of other program elements and activities. and those show up on the slide 30. just to review them quickly, we will have net energy metering rates for top scale solar, p v installation, we'll be paying customers for generating on their roof tops but not consuming. we'll be able to purchase from local producers of renewables any extra power they wish to spill, if you will onto the for our program. we anticipate regularly issuing requests for offer for development of larger scale energy efficiency programs and for local and renewable projects. we've talked before about the fact that we have control of quite a bit of land and assets as associated with our water facilities where we could develop larger scale projects that just aren't available to us here in san francisco because we just don't have the landmass, we don't have the the solar availability, the resources as we have in some other properties. so we want to make sure we have those opportunities

this pushes north america to the top of the pile. the 20th century because we saw the shrinking of the pacific ocean, so big, that right up until the late 19th century, it's just very difficult for people to exploit the pacific. >> when you travel to asia, you take the flights and the pacific is long. >> it's really a illuminating just to look at a globe. you turn the globe and look at the atlantic and see the cont u tunents on the other side. it fills the entire field of vision. the whole thing. as the 20th century went on, the internet, jet airliners and i think what we're are seeing now with east asia, and particularly china, is that like the united states 200 years ago, they're now being drawn into a global economy and for quite a while, they were a periphery, some still are, a periphery to an american dominated system. but the big trend is then pushing to the top of rising to this global system. >> and do they have experience. two views. one is, look, china was always, the middle kingdom, fine, they dominated their own little pa
