breaking public health scare. a confirmed case of mad cow disease in california has the agriculture department here in washington on full alert. the fatal brain disease not only can be passed among cattle, scientists think an equally deadly variation can be transmitted to humans who eat contaminated beef or dairy products. the first confirmed case here in the united states in six years. elizabeth cohen joins us from the cnn center in atlanta. elizabeth, one of the reasons people get so scared is the potential. what does this mean for the food supply? you know, for this one cow that really this one cow doesn t have that much importance for our food supply. the usda doesn t appear to be panicked, even critics of the usda don t appear to be tank panicked. the reason why is this cow was never going to be eaten, it was a dairy cow. and experts say milk of an infected cow is not infectious. you can t get the disease from drinking the milk. john. how did they find out that thi
problem. translator: that the israeli government refuses to commit to terms of reference for the negotiations that are based on international law and u.n. resolutions and emphatically continues to intensify building settlements on the territory of the the state of of the future of state of palestine. like i mentioned just a short time from now delegates will hear from israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu. he ll have some of the same points to hit as the president, president obama has hit. he may hit them own more strongly. will you see that live here again. we expect that at any moment. turning to our senior state department producer who is here with me. alise, what happens now? he s asking for statehood, he hand in the paperwork but how is this process expected to go? could go quickly but it could draw out for some time. it could. i think what president abbas is looking to do, get on a plane, go back to his people, claim victory that he went to the u.n. securi
this? what can i do, president obama, to help you, prime minister netanyahu, make this deal happen? he s said that quite a few times and i told him what i think is required and we re engaging this discussion. i have to tell you a lot of it is not public. the whole world is looking at prime minister netanyahu to do something. they re looking to you to be the hero. not to be the villain. and i can t believe, given your love of history, given your position in jewish history, that you don t want to be that guy that delivers what the world wants you to deliver. well, then, if i end up meeting your expectations, you ll have to invite me back to another interview, won t you. i will do that. with great pleasure. i ll come with great pleasure. prime minister, i look forward to it. good to see you. thank you very much. thank you.
i thought that was important to stop that. but we re now looking for the killers. we ll find them. there was to put it mildly a raised eyebrow collectively around the world first at the horrifying nature this attack. secondly at your response, the premise of, they murder, we build. you ordered the building of 500 more building settlements. it s a strange moral equivalence, prime minister. part of the problem that you face in israel is perception around the world. your pr is not good, as you know. when people heard about what happened, i think the community completely on your side and the people of israel, when they see you immediately ordering more settlements, i m sure you did it to calm down the people, as you say. a lot of that sympathy erodes. people think, come on, there s got to be a better way of responding to this kind of thing than doing that. well, i wanted to send three
they say military people that have been through that kind of thing, have seen friends, colleagues get killed, they understand better than most the need to bring peace. not only understand but cherish it. i mean, i nearly died several times in firefights, i had a brother lost in battle. i had many friends lost. i mean, one of the experience i remember was as an 18-year-old soldier a few short weeks after entering the army, holding a friend who died in my arms. you don t want war. we want peace more than any other people. we pray for peace, yearn for peace, dream about peace. i want to make sure that the peace holds. and one of the things i ve said in this part of the world, the only peace that would hold is a peace you can defend. so i m ready to make that kind of peace, a peace with security. what s the concession you re prepared to make to make this happen? you know if you don t make one, if you don t do something dramatic here, nothing s going to happen. you ll go down who was
