Homeless veterans and what the rest of the country can learn from it. We begin tonight with reaction and some frustration over a new deal for ukraine. It is Early Morning in the capitol of kiev, life pictures from Independence Square. Thousands of demonstrators are still on scene. Viktor yanukovych agreed to give up some of his power, a president ial election by december. But some demonstrators that is not enough. Nick shifrin, with an update. Nick. Yeah john, you know the Opposition Leaders have worked very hard both leer and in the intrsh here and in the International Community as a way to solve these problems. You talk to people here in Independence Square the cradle of where this opposition began and its hard to find anyone who will agree. For 50,000 people todays historic handshake was reason not to celebrate but to mourn. For exactly three months they filled this square, that witnessed two revolutions in hope for a third. Tonight their hopes are dashed. The Opposition Leaders cam
Good evening. Im wolf blitzer in washington with alli velshi in new york. Were following breaking news. A democratic source tells Jessica Yellin at the white house there is apparently a fiscal cliff deal that is in the works right now. Were also told that the Vice President , joe biden, is heading to capitol hill. Ali, this could be a dramatic moment that were watching right now. We were told joe biden would only go over when it looked like there was a deal. Not only to shore up support for the deal in general with the republicans with whom he has a good relationship, but with democrats, we have heard all day today there have been some democrats dissatisfied by how far they have had to go to get that deal. If you want to read tea leaves, it looks better than it looked a couple hours ago. It looks like biden is going to be at this meeting with the Democratic Caucus. The Democratic Senators, thats supposed to start in 15 minute. Hell brief them on whats going on. He has some problems, th

If they might somehow get engaged in governing, could they possibly tolerate other voices . Can be mature to the level they allow other people to speak as well as them in a more serious afghanistan than the one they ran previously. The short answer of that is probably not.
Them, to hear people talk about them and let me go into an environment and suddenly find i like Honey Boo Boo and im watching its. I think that is a huge part of the experience and i think it is sold short. I still think a lot of americans love the enjoyment of escapism and being able to roam around the tv jungle finding things they did not know were there. Ice i think people still love discovery. Every month or every year, i hear some show people are suddenly talking about that i do not think you could have ever imagines choosing. If you said, i want you to choose Honey Boo Boo, or a certain Food Channel Network, i do not think i have to predetermined that was my preference. The ability to stumble on them or to hear people talking about them and let me go into an environment and babble around in that and decide, i sort of like Honey Boo Boo, i think that is a huge part of the American Television experience. I think it gets sold short. I think a lot of americans love the enjoyment of e
Measures of asset prices and whether or not they appear to be diverging from historical norms. Namely its hard but trying to spot any asset price bubbles that might be emerging. Were looking at leverage, which build up in leverage can be very dangerous to the Financial System and pose stability risks. Were looking at trends in leverage. Were looking at credit growth to see whether or not that has potentially worrisome trends. In addition to that were looking the particularly through the stress tests at Financial Institutions and a low Interest Rate environment. We have to worry about whether or not theyre appropriately dealing with Interest Rate risk ls. We have been looking at that and, in fact, our current stress test includes a special portion related to and as youre looking and im going to run out of time and our chairman is very punctual, have you found anything yet that gives you concern . Do you have a tool with the zero Interest Rate policy to address that if you do . I would s
