able to get the russians to help out in ousting assad. and what the heck is a higgs bozon and why should you care that astronauts found it? america s favorite astro physicist, neil degrasse tyson will explain it all. first, here s my take america has had one more bad month for jobs. 80,000 created last month. this seems a depressing piece of a pattern. over the last two decades, u.s. economic recoveries have tended to be slow and jobless. in every recession from 1948 to 1990, jobs came back to pre-recession levels six months after the economy returned to its pre-recession level. after the recession of the early 1990s, jobs came back 15 months later. after the slowdown of the early 2000s, jobs took 39 months to come back. this time, it may take about 60 months, five years, for employment to return to pre-recession levels, according to an analysis by mckinsey. what happened? well, over the past quarter century, two large forces have swept the world. globalization and the
suffering? that is what my guest says. he is the head of the main syrian opposition group and is just back from moscow. we ll ask him whether he was able to get the russians to help out in ousting assad. and what the heck is a higgs bozon and why should you care that astronauts found it? neil degrasse tyson will explain it all. first, here s my take america has had one more bad month for jobs. only 8,000 created 80,000 created last month. this seems a depressing piece of a pattern. over the last two decades, u.s. economic recoveries have tended to be slow and jobless. in every recession from 1948 to 1990, jobs came back to prerecession levels six months after the economy returned to its prerecession level. after the recession of the early 1990s, jobs came back 15 months later. after the slowdown of the early 2000s, jobs took 39 months to come back. this time, it may take about 60 mon months, five years, for employment to return to prerecession levels, according to an
the focus back to the economy as new job numbers come out for june. lynn? thanks so much. scientists at the large hadron collider in switzerland have announced they have likely discovered the so-called god particle. it may explain how stars, plan et cetera, even life, how these things were created. science editor from our english broadcast partner, itn explains. reporter: this is about as excited as scientists get. what got them on their feet was the revelation that the lucerne laboratory had discovered a new particle, probably the illusive higgs bozon. peter higgs who predicted it would exist 50 years ago was moved to tears. for me, it is really an incredible thing that it has happened in my lifetime.
the higgs bozon could be the link between ordinary stuff and that dark matter. in the next two years, scientists will be ramping up the collider of lucerne to even higher energies precisely to try to answer that question. that was itn s lawrence mcginty reporting here is a look at other news going on around american. in alabama, a different kind of fourth of july blast. crews there blew up the 13-story building complex at the university of alabama. the rose towers as they were known, housed more than 30,000 students and faculty over five decades. some of the alumni even came back to watch a piece of their past come tumbling down. it will take three weeks to clean up the rubble from the explosion. in illinois, a train derailment and bridge collapse north of chicago. it is not clear which happened first. several of the 138 train cars being hauled across the state were mangled in the wreckage. the train was carrying coal from
reporter: back in 1964, he said the particle now named after him should theoretically exist. it is the culmination of something i did 48 years ago. it is very satisfying to be proved right in some way. reporter: to find the higgs bose on the accelerated particles almost to the speed of light in this tunnel of the large hadron collider and crash them together producing a large shower of debris that they now know contains the higgs particle. as they find out more about how the particle behaves, they are sure it will open doors to new science. what this observations does is opens up a new vista of physics. it sort of closes a chapter of the 20th century science and brings us into the 21st century, into a new vista. scientists know that 95% of the universe is made of what they call dark matter that they can t see.
