tonight. barbara, obviously a lot of tension between the u.s. and china over this part of the world, the south china sea. what are your sources telling you about these military maneuvers, b 52 aircraft carriers? reporter: what they re saying, erin, the don t expect military confrontation with china, but, and a very big but, tensions are escalating. already secretary of state john kerry, defense secretary chuck hagel, have weighed in on this warning china not to raise tensions in the area. so the u.s. on monday flew two b 52 bombers from guam, quite a long flight path from guam all the way over to the east china sea. and the flew right through this air exclusion zone. stayed about an hour in this area. and then flew back to guam without notifying the chinese as the chinese had demanded. the didn t file a flight plan, didn t raid yes their data, nothing. nothing happened. it all happened without event. but that may be small comfort for now. because tensions in the area center around wh
30, 40 minutes, not big delays but almost every plane now is getting into this pattern because the cold air is in place, the moisture is here. it s beginning to ice up. it s getting very, very windy. the wind doesn t stop until thursday or friday for that matter, erin. obviously, people think about the storm. and yes, it is about that. but the wind perhaps even more so. how difficult could it be for those 3 million people who are flying? when you talk about the fact you re already seeing delays everyone cascading? here s the issue. this is what the airports, this is what the airlines look like right now. there are 5,700 airplanes on this map. if you canceled 10%, all of a sudden you have 500 plane that is don t go off tomorrow. you multiply that times 100 people or 150 that should be on the plane, there s no capacity for you to get on the next plane. because that next plane is completely sold out. there s not a seat for you on it. and all of a sudden you have these thousands of peo
on its own as it s currently written. the big question would be then how would the obama administration deal with it at that point? would the have to rewrite regulations? would we have to see company whose did not want to provide this type of protection for contraception and cost would they then have to apply for it. it would not take down the whole bill, erin, but it is a huge political football heading into the mid-term elections. huge political football. why is this headline such a big deal? it is, right? it s a very big deal for a lot of reasons, but it s a big deal because it mobilizes the two political bases. we ve seen republicans and conservatives come out in support of hobby lobby. we ve seen it all along but the came out in droves today when they heard the supreme court had
it comes to parchin, super secret military site, the deal would form a commission with international monitors to facilitate resolution of past and present concerns. that s right. that just sounds like a lot of work are. you really going to be able to go in parchin and see what they re doing in every room or not? erin, let s remember what we re talking about here is daily access to a number of these sites, being able to evaluate whether thayer abiding by their commitments with that in mind. the international monitoring group is very important here because obviously they re going to take a close look at it. and believe me. if they are not abiding by their commitments we will be running, leading the charge for more sanctions. but we have the opportunity and the responsibility to give this a chance to succeed. and the bottom line then on what the foreign ministry out of iran is apparently saying tonight that what you have released, the white house has released is not true in terms
and when guys have girls you should tell the tea party that. van, what do you make conservative outlook a balanced outlook? you see the president and they re saying he s for women and republicans have this war on women. you re saying if you have daughters you re going to be a republican. i don t know. there s something called correlation not causation that we might want to talk about right now. but i will say that if the republicans and being conservative is a balanced outlook i hope somebody sends that memo to the tea party. because as far as i can tell they didn t get the memo yet about balance. the one thing, erin, that generally the more children you have the more likely you are to be a republican. and that again is correlation, not necessarily causation. china set to launch its first lunar module. are the passing america in the space race? and president obama has been working desperately to get
