The circumstances surrounding that call and something allegedly discussed on it were the reasons why.

Details were coming in as we put this show together and we'll have a down the middle report on all of it tomorrow on CNN 10.

While all of that was going on the White House says the president was working hard on behalf of the U.

That's where he addressed the United Nations General Assembly yesterday.

It's a gathering of representatives from all 193 countries that are members of the U.

It's the United Nations meeting place for most of the world's countries from the most powerful, such as the United States, China and Russia, to the smallest and most vulnerable for 68 years, the U.

And on top of that, this council selects the secretary general, who was then formally appointed by the General Assembly, the main representative body of the U.

As it's called meats from September to December every year.

But the world's problems don't exactly follow the calendar.

Which of these countries shares part of the island of Borneo with Malaysia, Indonesia, Papua New Guinea, Philippines, Thailand?

Morning Joe is divided between three countries.

It is truly a surreal looking landscape with everything washed in red, even though this looks like this video might have been recorded on Mars.

It's from part of Indonesia, not Borneo, but an Indonesian province across the Java Sea.

From it, where hes from forest fires is turning this landscape red.

The nation's government says this can happen when tiny particles of pollution scatter the sunlight during the day, and it's not a good idea to be outside in it.

As a requalify, monitors say it can cause serious health problems.

One of the people who recorded this video says it stung the eyes in the throat.

The smog has spread to nearby Malaysian Singapore.

Indonesian police say most of the fires that trigger this are set by people who are using the slash and burn methods of clearing farmland in the dry summer months.

It's been going on for decades, though it's officially illegal.

Here's a change of pace If you have ever looked at your dog and ask, What are you thinking?

There's a team of scientists at a private university in Georgia who were using magnetic residence imaging Emery technology to try to discover just that.

Of course, that involves putting the animals into an M R I machine, and that requires a bit of training.

I worked with dogs Thio, train them to go into a memory scanner and try to figure out what makes them tick and what they're thinking.

I'm a neuroscientist at Emory University in Atlanta, Georgia.

I've grown up with dogs and I've lived with dogs pretty much my whole life.

One of my favorite dogs had passed away in the back of my mind, I started wondering, Did that dog love me in the way that I loved him?

All of these basic things that we've begun to sort out in humans at least inhuman brands we want to do in dollars.

If dogs can be trained to go into an M R I machine, then maybe we could figure out what they're actually think.

This is probably about the 15th time she's done this, just having the idea of Okay, well, let's train doc ceiling scanner.

It wasn't immediately apparent how you would go about doing that, and memorize scanners are not the most pleasant environment.

Okay, Callie is the little black terrier who's the first dog to train for the dog project.

I So this is the simulator that built here in my basement.

Then we started adding in recordings of the scanner noise, which is actually quite loud.

We just started working with treats and positive reinforcement to see if we could get her to go into this thing.

And then So what we did was we kind of put out word of mouth.

Train your dogs for an M R I and maybe figure out what they're thinking?

The purpose of this is to go through a number of exercise, including basic obedience, as well as how they react the obstacles.

When we hold the tryouts, it lets us weed out the dogs that we don't think would enjoy doing this one of the benefits then of having more participants as it gives you a statistical power, you can start to average dog's brains together and get a better sense for what's happening.

If we could really finally answer this question, dogs essentially like us just for the social bond, not aboutthe.

And what we found was looking at the reward system that almost all the dogs had equal responses both to food as well as praise.

Even a few dogs like praise more The things that we're finding about the dog's brain in many ways confirmed.

I think what people you know in their hearts amount dogs behaving.

Why they behave way I think about dogs is in many ways, they're the ambassadors to the animal world.

They're not that different from many of the other mammals out there.

And so I suspect that a lot of what we find in dogs probably holds true for much wth EEB.

A description alone is a 10 a 10 15 ton, two story, tall, gasoline powered, car smashing piloted giant battle robot.

It's used and has dents and dings from robot combat.

It costs two and 1/2 $1,000,000 to build and was listed for only a dollar, though bidding was it more than $50,000 last night?

It'll probably cost 2500 bucks in gas repairs and maintenance.
