what does this iphone have that others don t? yeah, let s talk about the features. according to steve jobs this is the biggest leap forward since the original model which, of course, was launched in 07. the features here are jam packed. first thing you notice is the retina desplay. talk about color and clarity. this is using four times the amount of pixels than previous models. almost feels like you re capturing the moment there. let s talk about 40% more battery life. the ability to multitask. also into tether. one of my favorites is the ability to not only take high-def video but to edit it on the phone and share it. probably the biggest hype, kate, is two dual cameras. five mega pixel camera on one side but a camera on the other side. now you can videoconference. they re calling it this face time. if you want to stay in touch with anyone across the country this is the way to do it. being able to put a picture to a
good morning, kate. public support for elena kagan s nomination is down ten points. according to our new national poll, 44% of americans now say they want the senate to confirm kagan. but back in may, soon after president obama nominated kagan, 54% of those we questioned said they were in favor. they say the decline is coming mostly from democrats and women who are moving to the undecided column rather than out right opposition. more than six in ten say they think the kagan confirmation hearings in the senate will turn into a partisan food fight. stay tuned to see if their predictions come true. confirmation hearings begin monday for president obama s second supreme court nomination elena kagan. as a reminder, live coverage begins monday at noon eastern right here on cnn. and the new iphone, oh, yes,
nations in the world. the g-20 is a much broader group involving a lot of emerging nations. the issues being discussed are largely financial. whether financial reform should be the same around the world. whether there should be standard bank rules, whether banks around the world, large banks should have to have a certain amount of money in reserve, certain amount of money on deposit before they take risks with that money. most importantly, kate, there s this issue of whether governments should continue to fund should continue to put money into the economies that consumers are not spending until time consumers come back. you will remember a year and a half ago, central banks around the world, governments were unified. they said until we get this credit issue sorted out we re going to throw money into the system. now there s a difference. now there are countries like great britain and segermany sayg we want to stop that spending and cut our budgets, raise taxes, we need to get into thi
course, playing the drums, everything you would expect from a group of fans supporting an african nation. it s a pity that for africa only one of the six teams competing in the world cup made it to the round of 16. but let s talk about the united states. it s a huge day for u.s. soccer. they re going to try to make the quarterfinals of the world cup for the first time since 2002. they ve been great in the group phase. i think they were really unlucky against england. they had a great game. then they had a couple of goals disallowed in this tournament against slovenia and algeria and that goal from landon donovan made him an american hero. the united states, as you mentioned, as well, kate, will be trying to get revenge from the undefeat of ghana in the 2006 world cup in germany if united states did win their group and that happened for the first time in a world cup since 1930. i have been to their camp here.
with a breakdown of both summits. we talk about it all the time. you hear g-8, g-20, it sounds like it s something that is bigger than you are and has really no impact on your life. and i don t mean i mean this better than it sounds, ali. why should we care about what s happening in canada this weekend? it s a valid question. there are a number of people in toronto here, protesters, who ask that question, saying this is a billion dollar bash for elites. it has nothing to do with real people. the reality is this economic crisis we ve been through in the last couple years indicates that even the things you don t think have anything to do with you, bank leverage and financial regulation. the bottom line is it was the absence of those things, kate, on a worldwide level that contributed to the economic crash that we had. so the debate here, the g-8 is going on today, that started yesterday, goes on today, that wraps up and they start the g-20 which is today and tomorrow. the g-8 is a gr
