the poland family issued a stern statement. john henrehan is live with the reaction to that. john? >> reporter: there is disappointment in all directions from the fans and from the poland family, disappointment here at the verizon cter because the wizard's lost their first game after the scandal broke to the spurs losing by 11 points. we should from belgium coming up in sports. you know -- should from belgium coming up in sports. tonight, the poland family issued an extremely stearn statement it's aimed at him even though they didn't use arenas' name. both players involved were at the game. the team's leading scorers remain on the sidelines because of a foot injury. they drew guns at each other in the locker rooms. some fans urged everyone to refrain from a rush t judgment. >> it was not a lot you can say until all the facts come out. but, i hope the media doesn't pile on before we get that. >> reporter: an nba source confirmed to "the associated press" that the league had already been looking into the locker room incident, which the source said involved the heated discussion over

poland was the least disciplined, but even in poland, solidarity was stopped in its tracks by the imposition of martial law in december 1981. the soviet, as we now know from the transcripts of the soviet bureau at that time, seriously considered military intervention in poland august 1980. by then they decided it would create more problems than it would resolve. i am sure they were correct in that assumption. there are already bogged down in afghanistan hanistan at the tim. so in the course of 1981 they put enormous pressure at the polish authorities to institute their on crackdown, which they did at the end of that year. so much less what happened in eastern and central europe in 1989 than a change of policy in moscow. three individuals in particular have been credited with playing a decisive role in the ending of communism in europe, president ronald reagan, pope john paul ii, and mikhail gorbachev. i'll speak about reagan first. a lot of people attribute president reagan's rhetoric, things like talking about the soviets union has an evil empire. some people see a causal relationship betwe

poland's modest river is completely frozen with temperatures -- poland's long this river is frozen. this leads to fears of flooding. a dramatic malan rescue in japan. there are a series of climbing accidents in the country. at least three people had died. snow-related problems continue in china. passengers on this train were stopped on board for more than 24 hours. -- they were stuck on board. it ran into a wall of snow, forcing people left in freezing temperatures with no heat. in this city the freezing weather has not stopped these bathers. it is the city's annual snow and ice festival. getting out is as painful as getting in. >> the former -- the formula one racing team had his lifetime ban from the sport over term. the penalty was imposed by a ruling body that decides it he ordered the driver to crash deliberately in the 2008 singapore gran prix. in the philippines they suspect of ordering the massacre of 57 people appeared in court. a leading member of the planet was accused of targeting a rival political family. another significant step towards lasting peace in northern irelan

we have a student contests program for essays and poland's for high school and junior high students. -- essays andñrÑi poems. we want to announce the winners of six of the categories. i am going to ask our students to come forward.

. >> reporter: that sentiment was echoed in a statement released by the poland family tonight. they own the wizards. here's what they said. the fact that guns were brought into the verizon center is dangerous and disappointing and owed extremely poor judgment. guns have noplace in a workplace environment, and we, meaning the poland familyl take further steps to ensure this never happens again. the investigation is now in the hands of d.c.'s metropolitan police department and the u.s. attorney's office because d.c. has among the strictest anti- handgun laws in the country. at the verizon center, fox 5 news. >>> the wiz tried to make it all about the game last night against san antonio. the spurs ended up beating washington for the 9th straight time. after the game gilbert arenas answered questions about bringing guns to the arena. >> i agree, you know, that's bad judgment on my part, storing them here. i take responsility for that. >> the okay corral, was that just a joke? >> yeah, i'm a joke story. nothing in my life is actually serious. >> how do you take responsibility for it

even these are fairly success such as poland has phil had mentioned. you can't trust with we are in the advance economies, as desmond pointed out, we are looking at very high or rising unemployment rates through much of this year. this will weigh heavily on growth. this will be of the recovery that for these economies that is a good deal slower than the recovers that we've observed such as the mid 70s and a early '90s. so what is the repercussion of this difference in the outlooks between the advance and emerging economies? you see capital increasingly again knocking on the doors of emerging economies. looking for investment opportunities, because, well the growth on it is stronger, the yields are higher, and in many ways, the micropolicy has been good. >> thank you. third question i would like to panelist to address even though you may have already hinted at it, or spoken about it explicitly is what really the major risk that you see. what confidence do you have in your own expectations? the first person is uri dadush. >> okay. pieter, thank you. firs

as the germans advanced east wards and they started in 1940 in poland but especially as they advanced in the soviet union in 1941 they needed to do something with all of these jews. they weren't sure quite what they were going to do with them in the end yet. but in the meantime they needed to concentrate them and this served really three purposes. to concentrate them. it kept them under con trom -- control. they were not given a whole lot in terms of food or medical care. so a lot were killed off in that way. several i think 1.2 million or so. died within the ghettos. and it also well, keeping them under control and killing them off was the main thing. but it also allowed them to work for the german war economy to some extent. >> how many have you discovered? >> about 1200. >> about 1200 get toes. how did you do this research snch. >> well, we have not done all that much of it. we depend largely on outside contributors. now, saying that there was about 30% of this first volume we had to write ourself. mostly from secondary sources. from published sources and that proportion will proba

and speaking in poland last month, the german chancellor said that moscow and warsaw and prague and budapest and vina, he made no mention of lip-sync. [laughter] and that was as marge a -- as much a part of europe as london and brussels and paris or berlin. dr. coal was echoing deville's famous content of a europe perching from the atlantic to the euro. it is a concept which i share. i am strongly in favor of the free movement of people, goods and capital, within the 12 countries which make up the community. and but i have no confidence in the presumed superior wisdom of the commission in brussels. and that's as compared with the judgment fallible as it is of this elected house of commons. >> yeah. >> recent events in eastern europe have reinforced that view. and if we look forward to the day as i do, when the whole of the european family can share in that freedom and democracy which we enjoy, then the long-term enlargement of the community is more likely to come about if the nation states of the 12 do not succumb to the ambitions of the supernaturalists. and mr. speaker, i also welcome the

despite the fact that poland is relatively solid and performance. performance. there are still many countries what we see there is that the job -- the drop in production has no clear signs of recovery. the picture in latin america is very different, and the production was also very strong. in a country with very sound policies, we do not see the recovery just yet. and what we are concerned about is the low income. they were not impacted in terms of the crisis in terms of a fall in production. this was much more the fault line in, then the commodity prices. the impact of the crisis is much more in the medium brown for those and not so much in the short run. they do not have the space to respond and many of the mechanisms that are important to the low-income countries are there in terms of the dynamics of poverty and the fiscal positions. so this is a very diverse picture. what is positive is that in emerging asia, they are playing the role that was also forecast. >> not just emerging asia, but other large economies. ng economies are doing better. my next panelist

the particular urgency of poland and hungary posies need to recognize. -- poland and hungary's needs were recognized. not just financial help, but further food supplies. we should also consider the possibility of extending european community programs in areas such as technology and education to eastern europe. the suggestion for looking at various options for bringing eastern europe into association with the committee will also be studied and discussed further. but the same time, we agree that nato and the warsaw pact continued to be the basis for defense that borders are not on the agenda, and we will continue to abide by the helsinki final act. without the region without nato and european community, these great events would surely not have happened. it was an excellent meeting and a very satisfactory outcome. the next step is for nato heads of government to meet on the fourth of december when president bush will report on his meeting with president gorbachev. before that happens, i shall be meeting president bush at camp david later this week. the action of the right hon. gentlema

trotsky tried to justify the soviet occupation of eastern poland as a result of the pact. the baltics, the invasion of finland in the winter war of 1939 to 40, which gave the red army a bloody nose so to speak. trotsky said we may not like, but the red army is in fact spreading socialism. the fact is in the soviet union we have a workers' state. it is a degenerated worker state trotsky called it but nonetheless the state, there is state ownership of the means of production and so the occupied territories are getting socialism at the end of a bayonet so to speak with the red army bringing in from the soviet union. this is very curious because at this very time trotsky was singing workers' state degenerated workers' state but at the same time trotsky was very openly calling the stalin regime totalitarian and what is the other totalitarian regime? nazi germany. so for his followers in new york primero we now there's a lot of confusion they can't follow the old man, not all of them. on this line and trotsky is insistent and this is taking up all the time, the biography of stal

despite the fact that poland is relatively solid and performance. there are still many countries where recovery is hardly there. the drop in production has stopped with no clear signs of recovery. latin america is very diverse. a strong recovery in brazil. the fall in production there was also strong. in a country with a strong policies like chile would do not see strong recovery it. we're concerned about the low income countries. they were not that much impacted by the crisis with fall in production. much more so by the fall in income because of the fall in commodity prices. we expect the impact of the crisis is more for the medium run it in those low-income countries. they do not have the fiscal space to respond to the events. many of the mechanisms important in those come with the dynamics of poverty. it is a diverse picture. what is positive is that emerging asia is playing a leading role forecasted. >> not the only emerging asia, but several other large emerging economies are doing better. my next panelist is desmond. what explains this remarka

we later expanded romania, poland, croatia, hu ngary, germany. i want to conclude my remarks by saying it few words from the cases. the most famous case really on like all of the others was the case of dr. albert who was a most wanted nazi war criminal in the world. he was the only case which was known to us that was made the targets of "operation last chance" because he was a doctor and a notorious, he was called dr. debts he would kill inmates by directing the knoll directly into their hearts castration he would keep body parts as souvenirs comment no anesthesia and a horrible person. he was about to be arrested by the west germans in 1962. he was working as a gynecologist be better not. in one of the most beautiful places in germany and he set up a successful than a logical practice and they were about to arrest him and he was tipped off and disappeared into thin air. simon wiesenthal was one of the people who was looking for him. he always used to stress this case. make up the west of most wanted and make sure dr. robert is on the list. in 19

responded to by a russian military maneuver a few days later that included a simulated invasion of poland. i think we are off to a pretty bad start when you get down to the specifics. it seems to me that president obama has made a fetish out of a cliche. the cliche is engagement. we talked to friends and we talked to adversaries. we talked to friends -- we talk to friends and we talked to adversaries. we hope to diminish the dangers that they posed to us. no one is against talking. sometimes, engagement cost a political price. would you go repeatedly to iraq, which continues to support terrorism in a number of places and destabilizes the middle east, when you go repeatedly to iraq -- as it realizes its own citizens, you eventually begin to send a message and this message has been seen by others in the gulf and the message is that we are prepared to accord iran with the position of power -- with a position of power. you can convey a sense of where power lies by the way and manner in which you engage. i think that the president does not understand that. if he had, it would have been a far m

. >> we don't know when, when we'll be in poland, so we are angry. >> reporter: weather forecasters say a block of cold air has stalled over northern europe. the big chill looks likely to continue. when the snow finally melts, there may be other problems, floods. >> tom, thank you. now let's send it back over to lester. >>> now to that 6.5 magnitude earth wake that rattled far northern california saturday. they're still feeling the aftershocks this morning as officials try to assess the damage. garvin from kntv is up in eureka, california, with the latest. good morning. >> reporter: good morning, lester. even by california standards this part of the state gets more than its fair share of earthquakes but even for earthquake veterans, yesterday's was pretty scary. we'll show you some of the damage in old town eureka. you see that old brick building. part of the side has crumbled away. much more typical damage right across the street in a back store downtown on 2nd street. they're going to have a lot of work today cleaning up all that stuff that's fallen off the shelves. let's get to the l

poland with a couple of things going on with the wizards. gilbert arenas is in the starting lineup. flip saunders talking about change the culture. gilbert arenas, caron butler will play at the two. antawn jamison and brendan haywood will start at the center position. flip talked about a total mindset change. they have gone through the last two days working on the defensive end. the san antonio spurs is a staple of that. what they allow and what teams are scoring. it's impressive on the defensive end. some of the numbers, 11th in the nba and giving up field goal percentage at 45%. the wizards are at 10th. they do a pretty good job there. but the totality of the spurs' defense, opponents 37 which ranked number one in the nba. the wizards are 25th in that department. michael, that's the story here at the verizon center. there is a lot of roll and national media here as and you can expect for those distraction. >> if both parties end up being found guilty and you are reporting no guns, what would the league ramifications if this did take place. >> reporter: gilbert arenas did have guns

and you get this list of 20 or 25 country that is are going to include, canada and belgium and poland and italy. most of those countries haven't talked about it seriously. you think that's why the proliferation has been so slow. nonetheless, the chief united nations weapon inspector now, 40 years later says we're reaching a point today where i think kennedy's prediction after being wrong for 40 consecutive years is now very much alive. either we're going to move to nuclear disarmament or 20 or 30 countries with nuclear weapons. who knows, italy, belgium, sweden. if we do that to me, this is the beginning of the end of our civilluation. so this thing is very much still there. the gill patrick report talks about the world is fast approaching a point of no return in the prospects of preventing the spread of nuclear weapons. if we don't get a real halt to it, there's going to be the massive proliferation. we can read through the rest. let me move on to the next. a guy named willstall, basically saying it will hold. he was wrong in 1965, 1995, but 2005, now he's right. well, we are stillin

or about the equal number of or greater number of known jewish civilians massacred by the germans in poland and in russia. and we were talking before whether there was, you know, whether it was the fact the jewish press did not want to make it look as if it was a jewish war and therefore the leadership certainly, the jewish committee like that were very careful in pressuring roosevelt on these issues. they could have said, you know, christians are being massacred as well. as many polls, catholic poles were killed in auschwitz as were jews, this kind of information just simply did not make it through. and certainly never affected any of what the cartoons are doing. so you have a picture of the war, which is mixed to say the least, but representative in any case. i think pm was certainly not just represented in this respect of the american left, but it was representative of the country as a whole when it came to japan and so on. but the real battles as far as pm were concerned for the domestic battles, first for intervention and then against the isolationists, and then against republican oppo

britain is already helping poland and hungary. we're ready to do more as part of an international effort. our second task is to enable these great changes to take place in conditions of stability in europe said that no country feels that its alliances or borders are threatened as a result of them. the members of the exchange's -- this would not be happening without the courage of president gorbachev. we all have an interest in seeing his reforms in the soviet union succeed. these matters were discussed by the european community heads of government at a very successful meeting in paris last saturday evening. this approach received wide support. we all welcome changes in eastern europe and agreed that the community should continue to give them every possible help. the particular urgency of poland and hungary's needs were recognized. the european council in just over two weeks' time will decide whether additional -- what additional help the community could offer, not just financial help, but food supplies and training. we also consid

when you get to solicit 20 or 25 countries that are going to include, you know, canada and belgium and poland and italy and so forth. and most of those countries never even talked about it seriously. it just doesn't make any sense to them. and i think that's why the proliferation has been so slow. nonetheless, mohammed al-barady the chief united nations weapons inspector now 40 years later says we're reaching a point today where i think kennedy's prediction after being wrong for 40 consecutive years is very much alive. either we're going to move to nuclear disarmament or we're going to have 20 or 30 countries with nuclear weapons, italy, belgium, norway, who knows, sweden. and if we do that, to me this is the beginning of the end of our civilization. so this thing is very much still there. the gillpatrick report in 1965 talked about the world is fast approaching a point of no return. in the prospects of preventing the spread of nuclear weapons. if they don't stop now and get a real halt to it there will be a massive proliferation. you can read the rest. a guy who's now in the obama administra

i had the opportunity to go to russia, poland, germany, britain, france and look at their documents on german unification as well as materials and the collection of james baker. also in the bush library. it has been possible for scholars to request to these under a freedom of information act. there is an extraordinary source basis available for historians. it is unusual because often documents are kept closed for 25 or 30 years. you have to wait 25 or 30 years to have your initial look at the documents. usually there is a 30-35 year gap between the historical studies. that is not the case here. we can do serious historical scholarship. i realize that the sources were open largely because of personal decisions contem. when you have dramatic moments that revealed the long-term social and military pressures that have come together the to produce a moment of great change, what does that dam meanr mastering the chaos and moving forward? that is the question that interested me. i was an undergraduate on a year of study abroad that the free university of west berlin in 1988 and 1989. i went b

generosity with respect to putin and shutting down a missile defense program in poland and the czech republic largely because that is what he wanted. it was responded to by a russian military maneuver a few days later that included a stimulated invasion of poland. i think we are often a pretty bad start when you get to the specifics. it seems to me that president obama has made a fetish out of a cliche. the cliche is engagement. obviously we talk to friends and adversaries. we talked to friends in hopes of encouraging them to support our goals and objectives. we talked adversaries in the hope that we will diminish the dangers that they opposed west. we did they pose to us. -- the dangers that day oppose to us. when you go repeatedly iran, which is proceeding and paste to develop nuclear weapons which will support terrorism in a number of places and destabilize the middle eastern region, when you go repeatedly to iran, as it realizes its own citizens, you eventually begin to send a message being seen by others in the gulf. the message is we are prepared to accord them a position of po

it is not something that the dissidents in poland pursing caused or would agree with. i'm trying to look at what alternative outcomes they were. >> i did not mean to say that. i tried to be very careful in the paper. there are two different tasks that are detailed in an evaluation. the biggest task is to answer the question, with u.s. interests have been better served by a different policy? that is very tough. would we be more prosperous and free if we have not expanded nato to europe? or if we had included russia in nato. those kind of questions you can fill books. because this is a conference paper, i tried to limit it to be more specific forecasts that policy critics make, more short- term, more tractable. on that front, if you want to look at a pre policy treat the lives better in hindsight, it is the iraq war critics. they said they were emphasizing the cost of the war that turned out because it. they were emphasizing the difficulty of holding it together. they were not talking about several things. they look more impressive in hindsight. they are better than some

britain has already helping poland and hungary. but we are ready to go more as part of an international effort. our second is to enable the great changes to take place in conditions of stability in europe, so that no country feels its security is, its alliances or its borders threatened as a result of them. we should remember these changes would not be happening were it not for president gorbachev's courage and vision. all of us have a strong interest in seeing his reforms in the soviet union succeed. mr. speaker, these matters were discussed by the european community heads of government at a very successful meeting in paris last saturday evening at which this approach received wide support. we all welcome changes in eastern europe and agreed that the community should continue to give them every possible help. the particular urgency of poland and hungary's needs was recognized. the european council in strasburg over two weeks time will decide on additional help that the community can offer. covering not just financial help but food

it continues to bully its democratic neighbors like georgia and poland and it continues to practice awe though tehran domestic policies. america's allies in eastern europe are getting nervous. president obama's cancellation of a planned missile defense system in poland and the czech republic and the manner in which it was executed gave the impression that the united states caved in to russian pressure. there are few regions in the world as volatile as the middle easement unfortunately the obama administration alienated our closest middle east ally -- israel -- by pushing it to adopt a comprehensive settlement freeze. as elliot abrams has written in the national review, the administration has managed to damage the u.s.-israel alliance, weaken palestinian authority president mahmoud abbas and produce massive policy failure. we want a just and lasting solution to the israeli-palestinian conflict, but demanding unilateral concessions from the israeli government is no way to achieve it. as for latin america, it was highly regrettable that the u.s. imposed sanctions on honduras since the remo

caller: no, i haven't but my nephew who lives in poland and travels frequently and just before this bombing incident happened. and he had the swiftest, uneventful travel to the united states he ever had. he kept calling us and saying, i will be earlier and earlier than that. i would say that things were lax before the incident. and as a hint for travelers on july 4, 2004, i flew from new mexico and i had a friend in the embroidery business and he had given me a hat that was from the state of new mexico, and i had it on top of my bag, and when they saw that hat, they passed me right through. so show your support, have a flag on top of your bag and it may help. host: thank you this, is a picture of a son being searched in paris. the headline that goes with this story, says that pat down searches are often ineffective. they are saying with the screening technology in airports, the last line of defense is the human hand, the pat-down search. and this is often ineffective because of government rules and covering where screeners can put their hands. as a result even the man trying to blowup the p

for example, resetting relations with russia and caving in on missile defense, the czech republic and poland, which had taken risks in joining us in this venture. it meant once again leaving them wondering about american reliability and about ours and theirs post-cold-war independence and running to the limbo where that sovreignty is constrained by detante of moscow. obama's three-day bowing and scraping in china after refusing to meet with the dally llama and without so much of a gesture and insisting on elevating china to near superpower status. at one point in the visit, obama suggested a chinese interest in stability in the indian subcontinent, a suggestion not well received in india, part of a pattern of giving shore slift to india, china's indian rival and our ally in the region with a common tradition, common democracy and common enemy in radical islam. the indians had to settle for a white house state dinner and almost without even the salihis.

comments are we have rights thinks; we own 44% of the asset and it's our intention to buy the rest and the poland estate and family and we started the process and it's best left to deal and negotiate with that in the right time. it's our intention to buy the rest of the assets. >> thanks for the visit. >> good to see you. >> ted leonsis, the majority owner of the washington capitals. we have highlights and stats coming back. ? you know there's something i've been wanting to tell you. i love you. and i lo-- ( stutters ) so cute! i loooo... i loooo... i loooo... - another miller lite? - i'd love one. - do you love the taste of your beer this much? - thank you. - what? well, you could. try the great pilsner taste of a triple hops brewed miller lite. taste greatness. you're gorgeous, look at you, i loooov you! honey... the credit fairy... doesn't exist. what? it's make-believe. nobody left anything under your pillow. if there's no credit fairy then who will make our credit score go up? we will. by doing things like paying our bills on time. announcer: there's no magic to improving your credit. but th

answered by our panelists, there are also some microphones that you can use at the appropriate time and poland the program i would appreciate if you allowed and leave with us the blue evaluation forms in your pockets. now, let's get to the program. we've got a very knowledgeable group of experts and panelists today, they got a broad range of experience, we're going to hear brief presentations and then have lots of time for discussion and your questions. let's start leading off today, timothy jost from the washington and lee university school faculty. author as cyrano did of the paper on exchanges that provides jumping off point for our discussion today. tim has written several books on health policy topics not to mention his co-author ship of the note leading casebook on health law called, sketchily anathema health law. in [laughter] now in its sixth edition. whether you agree with him are not on a particular subject i think you'll find his analysis compelling in writing couldn't and accessible for a lawyer or anybody else. so thanks for being with us and we look forward to your conversation.

i would like to say hi to all of our viewers in poland. who we seem to be pandered to at the moment. the first is no one has actually mentioned this. oil. if you think about what gives you a global recession, oil is five for five. including frankly 2008/2009. it so happens that oil and lee mans came together. it's impossible to distinguish between the two. if we've seen oil price move back up $80 or barrel if they go to $100 or above. if, not i'm saying it will happen. it will add significant near-term medium to the downside risk. second, the fiscal issue. which we can talk about all day. don't worry. we won't. but i think the issues that i haven't heard anyone latch on to is the sort of unimaginable -- we should all, you know, with respect to people like desmond who called the '08 crisis well. we should all be prepared to imagine the unimaginable. what i'm talking about here is not turmoil in the greek debt market or spanish debt market, but turmoil in the does treasury. because it seems to be so high. one important thing is what the rati
