officials say student enrollment has been declining and the district has lost 150 million dollars in state funding over the past two years. they say these closures will save two million dollars a year. >>> the school district has come up with enough money to prevent two of its schools from closing. last night the board voted to keep shannon and lake elementary open. the district found additional one million dollars in the budget to fund the schools. the board voted to payoff a 3.7 million dollar debt. the district is still waiting to hear about additional funding cuts. >>> because of state budget problems this morning governor brown is expected to propose roll backs to employee person shun benefits. the plan includes raising the retirement age to 67 for new state employees. future retirees would get pensions from a smaller benefit and 401(k)-style plan that with would rise or fall depending on the market. it would prohibit public employees from overtime and unused vacation in the final year of work. proposals would save the safety 900 million dollars a year. the plan has to be approv

so, michael, the big has come. are you ready for your haircut. >> yes, let's do it. >> reporter: we discovered just as with europe one size doesn't always fit all and that applies to wigs, as well. sorry. there you go. i think you're ready. for your haircut. with the economy shrinking and deficits widen greece can't pay back its 350 billion euros of debt and investors want to see some of their money back, it's likely they'll have to take a write-down of 10%, 21%, 50%, maybe even more. realistically speaking what does a 10% haircut need. >> i think 10% won't cut it for investors or for greece. if you think about what affects sustainability, it's a number of factors, economic growth, physical performance, the interest rate greece has to pay and greece has underperformed an/lot of these elms so far. >> we've had about a 21% haircut. that was largely voluntary. >> it still has to work itself out and remember those 21% are in terms of net present value so that's not something that will necessarily fit into the debt to g

last 4 hours has been as confusing as it has been bloody. this was a mob filmed this morning attacking a car thought to be driven by a christian. but many of the christians here say it was the army that carried out most of the killings and they have evidence to prove it. this one she says was run down by apple armored car. the soldiers, she said. it was the soldiers. they ran him down when i tried to help him, the soldiers insulted me. i tried to carry him to the car, but he was dead. whether it was the army or muslim extremists, it is no doubt that egypt's christian community believes it is the victim. this afternoon, thousands crowded into cairo's giant cathedral for the first funeral. the news was angry. they waved the bloody clothes of the freshly made martyrs. egypt's christians are not a small insignificant. they are increasingly under attack. particularly from hardline islamic fundamentalists. things here are gotten worse, not better. >> egypt has become a much freer country. but also more chaotic and more open to muslim extremism. >>

there has been a cultural shift. the application of disruptive technology on the internet and the communication range outside of paper keeps growing and growing whether you're talking about twitter, facebook, the internet itself, email, the choices are astounding. there is virtually none of the traditional letter writing that is still smell. a lot of the commercial mail -- you probably do some of your bill paying online. that is gone. magazines remain largely in the mail -- >> there are fewer magazines. >> many of them have been driven out of business because of postal price increases. >> it is interesting historically to see the role of the mail in publishing. it is always subsidized publishing. it has always been -- in every country -- a government effort with fourth class mail, a bulk rate, second class, for various periodicals. we have a newspaper in washington called a "the washington post." it has not been delivered by mail for a long time. also "the saturday evening post" which is no longer with us. >> today s

everything that needs to be said has been said that not everybody has said it yet. the subtitle of this conference is threats and opportunities and i want to speak about one of red and one opportunity. the threat is iran which has been spoken of and the prospect of iran becoming a nuclear weapon state. that is a threat to the survival of israel and regional stability and a ta nueat to touch off a me intense and full scale regional cold war. it may be a ta nueat to the uth made more serious by reports of connections between iran and al qaeda. the possibility for stopping the iranian nuclear drive by means of sanctions or d diplomacy seems to me to be exacyby zero. i am racking my brains to see any state acquiring a nuclear weapon has been turned away from that course by any combination of sanctions and diplomacy. states have given up nuclear-weapons or pushed off of that course. i can think of nazi germany. or iraq in the case of syria by a military action. i can think of other states that have gotten off of the nuclear plane. ukraine and south africa by means of reg

has never told serbia it has to recognize kosovo's independence and the e.u. has repeatedly stated it's not going to impose such a decision on serbia but some pressure does exist that this is obvious and it is exercise where nine issues are concerned all this is likely to evolve into direct recognition of course of its independence in the long run this is the issue of come . stems control in the elimination of serbian institutions in the north of kosovo and if they get agrees to do it it will be virtually an act of recognition of course oppose independence i believe it is clear that serbia will never sacrifice its national interests for the sake of admission to the e.u. serbia may hold talks with the e.u. on a range of issues like other states on trade quotas political system justice and combating crying fishing issues norway's been discussing with the e.u. but these talks cannot be focused on a part of serbian territory and in. one of the preconditions of serving as accession to the e.u. was the arrest an extradition of general right can launch to the hague t
