Headlines have been dominated by the severe floods. Since christmas, the southwest of england has been affected particularly badly by storm fronts. Flood Protection Systems have collapsed. Several people have been killed, and entire regions are still underwater, but for somerset levels, this lowlying area was rescued from the sea hundreds of years ago. Authorities from london struggle to find a response and lay the blame game. In the meantime, flood victims are taking matters into their own hands. This road in the southwestern English Village of thorny has become a waterway. Locals are in this together. Many of their houses here have flooded her weeks. Yet, like rod who has lived in the village for more than 30 years, they have no intention of leaving for drier ground. Its more just looking after house. You cannot lock the doors because they have all swollen up. Even if we were not living there, i would try to sleep there. His neighbor judith has fared better. Her house is built on sli
Increasingly like losers. What do you make of all this . I dont think its just a metaphor the only way they get to the space station is with russia. Quite the irony. The Bigger Picture for me is superpowers do not create 17 trillion in debt and other trillions for legacy debt the. Superpowers do not have almost half the country on food stamps and poverty going north. Weve got to start turning this around and soon. You immediately seized on my metaphor so i thank you for that. Ben stein, what do you make of the fact its not been a good week when you look at u. S. Influence around the world and maybe this space thing was icing on the cake here. It doesnt make americans feel good. Power flows from the barrel of a gun. We disarmed ourselves. We let ourselves become weak all over the world. We only have a smattering of troops in all of europe. Its a pathetic situation. Our navy has been cut to virtually nil our air force is cut. We did not elect mr. Obama to be a unilateral disarmer, but th
Two hours of varney and company about to begin. Charles we have to begin with harry reid claiming that he never said all of those people telling obama care Horror Stories are liars. Lets listen to him backtrack on the floor of the senate. Mr. President that is simply untrue. I never came to the floor to my recollection, never said a word about any of these examples republicans have given regarding obamacare and how that is not very good. Charles let us help him recollects. Here are his exact words from just about a month ago. Despite all that good news there are plenty of Horror Stories being told all of them untrue, but they are being told all over america. Charles a month ago did he really forget he said that . Tea Party News Network scott hughes were here, what do you make of it . It is obvious harry reids background was being a boxer and he got hit in the head one too many times if he is already forgetting what he told us. I hate to break it to you but welcome to the 21st century w
That these kids have . Hi everybody. Welcome to forbes on fox. Lets go in focus with steve forbes. Rich and elizabeth, bruce jackson, rick unger and john. So steve, this is the only hope a lot of these kids have. Absolutely, david. Thats why parents are so adaamant about it. They want them to have a ticket for the future. Im here in chicago, out here the mayor is in favor, rahm emanuel, so kids in chicago, 13 than in new york which is 6 or 7 . Out here the mayor knows they are a ticket to the future. He is a great fan of them. So the more Charter Schools the better. And at least one mayor out here gets it even if de blasio in new york does not. Bruce, the reason,ets be clear about it, the reasons that the unions hate these schools is because they dont have to hire union teachers. Well, thats part of it. Im out in denver for health care conference, but one of the things going on in chicago where i live is that they closed 50 schools and the mayor does get some credit for opening Charter
Simply unacceptable. Harris dan springer is in seattle with more. All along jenny durkan said that chop would not be taken back by force, she was going to negotiate her way to peaceful resolution. But for us its exactly what they had to use today. There were dozens of Police Officers and Seattle Police departments, Bellevue Police department and also the fbi came. They went right through police, if they stay they will be subject to arrests and, there were dozens of people inside of tense here and they for the most part peacefully left. We seem very little action outside of the area, and there has been very little tension and its interesting because there are police saying driving around the perimeter with no license plate and people inside who are armed. We have not seen that ourselves but that is what police said earlier today. Earlier we talked to a protester who said it, you know what, this isnt really over. We have been here before. You dont get that. They had put that in with a ve
