What about the folks, the extremists who tried to kill her . Were they ever caught . Was anybody brought to justice . The pakistani Authorities Say that theyve been rounding up the people they believe are responsible in terms of the trigger men. But the people who issued the ortds, the taliban leadership pakistan and afghanistan, obviously they havent been brought to justice. What the taliban has said is that it will try again to kill mala malala because of her continued comments regarding educate. The death threat is not lifted. Does she have security . Are people trying to protect her and her family to make sure they dont get to her . Im sure there are. Theyre not very visible, but the British Security sfts is aware of the threat against her. There have been threats against her life and the family. The hospital, of course, and the pakistani authorities have their security people in place. So, i mean, the point is shes much safer here, obviously, in britain than in pakistan. So thats what theyre focusing on. Matthew chance, thank you. Its good to see her smile.

The first chunk will shore up the governments Flood Insurance program and pay to claims to people trying to get some relief for some of the damage that they sustained and theyre seeking help through the program. The rest is expected to come later on this month. Not all is a sure thing. This second chunk is going to have to be negotiated here in the house, and then go over to the senate. There was some talk before all of this got started, you know, when this all went down the other night when they passed the fiscal cliff agreement in the house and didnt act on sandy, there was concern about whether or not there was too much pork in all of this. I have to tell you, suzanne, there were rumblings inside the house this morning. A lot of lawmakers from new york and new jersey were very disappointed that not all of this was passed today. The bulk of it is going to come later on this month including one freshman house member democrat, Sean Patrick Maloney who indicated eases new around here, but hes starting to get a sense of how things work. Heres what he said to say. Madam speaker, my name is Sean Patrick Maloney. Im new here. I dont know all the rules of washington, but it seems like the rule here is to put off until tomorrow what should be done today. Suzanne, there was a pretty sizable number of House Republicans who voted against this. A lot of those folks are they look like they are the conservative Tea Party Members of the House Republican caucus, and this may be a sneak preview of whats to come. How Speaker John Boehner was in his republican conference behind closed doors earlier this morning saying that this whole matter of raising the debt ceiling he believes will have to be tied to a conversation on spending cuts. He wants to see that happen, and john cornyn, who was a top senate he republican on the senate side wrote a column the Houston Chronicle saying perhaps there needs to be a Government Shutdown to get the conversation going. After all that yesterday, we get back to the business of brinkmanship on the hill. You yhope it doesnt requirea Government Shutdown.

One harvard professor says were living in the least violent time in human history. Matthew chance has the story. Reporter we live in an age racked by death and violence. I cant impress on you that in my personal military judgment formed over 38 years we are living in the most dangerous time in my lifetime right now. Reporter or do we . It may be hard to believe, but were actually safer now than we probably have been at any point in history. Reporter two contrasting views on the dangers of the world in 2013. A world where millions die every year from disease, poverty, gunshot wounds, or road accidents, but also where human life has become more secure, more peaceful than ever before. Not only are rates of violent personal crime a fraction of what they used to be several hundreds years ago in most parts of the world, but even rates of war have come down, and its hard to realize that because they havent gone down to zero. So all the wars that are still ongoing get broadcast into our homes and were acutely aware of them. Were not aware of all of the parts of the world that are not at war. The concept of global danger is about much more than just the number of bodies in any given year. Its the threat of catastrophic events like nuclear war between india and pakistan or on the Korean Peninsula where a weapon of mass destruction falls into the hands of terrorists that keep people like a top military officer Martin Dempsey away at night. When i said its the most dangerous period in my military career, 38 years, i really meant it. I mean, i wake up every morning waiting for that cyber attack or waiting for that terrorist attack or waiting for that nuclear proliferation. Waiting for that proliferation of technologies that makes is an increasingly competitive security environment across the globe. Its a sobering thought from a statistical point of view, this world is undoubtedly safer, more peaceful, less prone to disease than ever before. A single event, a solitary breakdown in the world order could change everything. Matthew chance, cnn, london. Elephant poaching, its the worst its been in ten years according to the International Fund for animal welfare. The group says the illegal trade is now booming in china. Just today the New York Times reports that hong kong custom officials seized a shipment of 779 Elephant Tusks from kenya worth 1. 14 million.

Oliver stone, you know his movies, scarface, born on the fourth of july, hell tell us about his documentary on venezuelan president hugo chavez. Alkaseltzer. Kills heartburn fast. Yeehaw hugo chavez is fighting a severe respiratory infection after cancer surgery in cuba. The president has been a polarized figure since he took office in 1999. One of his key defenders is oliver stone. Stone made a documentary in 2010 that portrayed chavez in a positive light. Time magazine calmed itled ite story. Heres some of the scenes. Joining us from new york is oliver stone. Good to see you you. I noticed you were smiling while watching the documentary. What ins so much about him to put him as a central figure in this documentary you did several years ago . South of border. He was an essential figure. It was about seven president s in latin america, brazil, argentina, uruguay and bolivia. Huge changes were going on there. I found him to be a mag muss warm, warm man, big man. When have you last spoken with him . Are you still in touch with him . We stayed in touch through the years through people, and obviously, this is not a good time. People tell me about his condition. I was very happy that he won the reelection, so he won 20 of the 23 states in his country and he hardly could get on the road to campaign. They want him. He hes popular. The majority of people love them because the Living Standards have gone up, and thats ignored in the reporting on venezuela. Do you know you say youre in touch with foblgs. Do you know the state of his health or how hes doing . No, i could not tell you. No, i have full confidence in mr. Madero and his government and i think they will continue and do the right thing. If there needs to be another if there needs to be another election im confident that his party will win. How do you think it will change venezuela moving forward if, in fact, hes not able to take the oath of office . I think hes as i say the majority of the people truly benefitted. The standard of living went up. Not all. Theres a very vocal minority against him, but they never won the elections. Chavez won 13 of 14 elections. Yeah. I think hes going to be mourned as a National Figure who changed venezuela forever. You have no idea how bad it was before him. The per capita income dropped for like 20 years straight. People were fed up. He represents hope and change, the things that obama stood for in our country in 2008. How do you respond to the critics . Time magazine quoted about the film, human rights defenders suffer harassment, prison conditions provoking hunger rights and of course Amnesty International reporting on venezuela that, you know, these are the kinds of things that they are seeing and that theres widespread, you know, corruption in the government as well. There is corruption, and theres corruption in every
