william hague?o discuss the house of lords, i'm sure she will want to explain the position of lord paul. who has made a privy council after he bought 6000 copies of the prime minister's book on courage. [laughter] >> and never has so much been given for so few people to read so many words in vain. [laughter] >> and so she might also want to explain why later took half a million pounds from a non-hedge fund manager, champagne socialism is alive and well in the labour party. [shouting] >> now the question, we have moved on to that tube business investment, she may not have noticed that but said she introduced the question of the pound, does she agree, will the prime minister said some years ago, that a weak currency arises from a weak economy which in turn is the result of a weakened government. so what does this weeks plunging down say about this week government? >> well, as i said in answer to his earlier point, there are many issues that affect the value of sterling, and we're determined to strengt

a just and holy war -- radovan karadzic strikes a defiant tone as he begins his defense in the hague. welcome to bbc world news, broadcast on pbs in america and around the globe. coming up later, the children of afghanistan, searching for a better life. un accuses europe of failing to protect them. >> amid the angels of palestine, a new vision is becoming a reality. >> and visions of the first ever purpose-built palestinian city. >> with more than three-quarters of the people in chile affected by the earthquake that struck three days ago, the country's president has had to appeal for international help. at least 700 are known to be dead but many are still trapped in rubble in the south. aid is hard to deliver. news has been coming in that a small plane has crashed while on route to the epicenter, concepcion. let's go to the capital, santiago. >> from the air, the power of the earthquake and tamales unleashed can be seen. towns and villages -- towns and villages were broken down and washed away by the waves. in central chile, near the epicenter, few buildings still stand. even for a na

read the various books, they confide at the end of the day the prosecutor, the south african and the hague had one of the most significant impact on the process because the deal needed to be negotiated with milosevich and also by happenstance because of the indictment favorite able to get a peace agreement and get to resolutions about the conflict. the exact same situation replace now the president of sudan is indicted for crimes against humanity and war crimes for qatar and there is a question can you bring him into the peace process of the has been indicted? you see a replay of a law of questions and will it really matter? will they really be deployed on the first type of questions? i have to talk about the fun one's. michael will now tell you all the surprisingly this way in a number of circumstances about a number where they chose not to apply the rule of law because foreign policy prerogatives were deemed to be so imperative they did not want them to be cluttered by viggo principal. >> usually when that happens it is not that he stated his case and we will do with any way but rather t

death, there's been so much historical revisionism-- much of it appropriate-- that dismantled the hague don't gofy that grew up around him and the immediate aftermath of his assassination. but it became increasingly difficult for students, for younger people, even of my own generation to recover that moment, the kind of idealism and faith that people had and the way that president kennedy was viewed in his time. so i was thinking, how can i recapture this? and i went into the archives, i asked the archivist. term condolence letters. i remembered mrs. kennedy thanking the public. we s.a.t. around in our living room and watched her two and a half minute talk on television in january of 1964. and i said "what about those condolence letters? have you got any of those?" and the archivist said most of them had been destroyed by the national archives but that a sample had been kept. and i said, "oh, well could i see a couple of boxes ?" and he brought them up. the first letter i read was from a family of eskimos writing about their response to the death of the president. and from there every c

whether it is on the network that carries their voices that the hague and vitriolic comes from these radicals off lead to suicide bombings and death. i can assure you that it is essential for us to stand up against this kind of misinformation and that america should make it very clear that we stand for principles which are lofty and good. while we are not going to cut off the ability for these people to speak, we are going to cut off their ability to attack our fellow countrymen. when they come here carrying bombs with that intent, the first words they should hear art, "you have the right to remain silent." [applause] >> is domestic terrorism, ranging from fort hood to obama city, a concern for you? >> no concern. that is the key heightism -- that is the jihaddism i am speaking of. i will not try to recall from memory the number of countries where there have been attacks by different kinds of jihaddist organizations. this comes from very different strains, local concerns, some have broader concerns. almost always these various jihaddist groups have several principal police. one is th

the hague convention on choice of courts will need to be implemented domestically, following the supremeourt's decision in that eating. there are a number of proposals on the table for exactly how to do that by statute, by an approach which some are calling a whopper to federalism. this will be an important dimension of my time. i think as legal adviser. fourth area out of five is what i call the law of the state department. this is where some of the most intricate and difficult lordly issues of our agency come to us. one area of course has been a dramatic expansion of contracting, consular issues, these are questions, restrictions on foreign assistance, diplomatic immunity. this body of law will continue to evolve. and in this and finally, the area of law that i find the most fascinating that i struggle everyday to get to is what i call the emerging law of globalization. there are bodies of law that are now emerging that did not exist even 10, 15 years ago. one such area is cyber law. and this has become a vigorous area practice, including e-commerce, it includes issues about cybercrime

bosnian serb leader radovan karadzic took the stand today, as his war crimes trial resumed at the hague. he insisted the deaths of 100,000 people during the bosnian war were a defense against a muslim plot to take over bosnia. we have a report from robert moore of independent television news. >> they were outside demanding justice from the international court. the grieving mothers braced to hear the arguments of the man they told directly responsible for the loss they suffered. radovan karadzic stand as caused of genocide and of authorizing the worst massacre in europe since 1945. and yet we have never heard his full defense. until now. for so long karadzic escaped justice. heavily disguised and living in the serb capital belgrade. but he was finally tracked down and captured and now he must try and defend his conduct in a war that shocked and shamed europe. feuding ethnic tensions again today karadzic claimed bosnian serb attacks have been a defensive response to muslim provocations. >> i will defend that nation of ours and their cause is a just and holy. and in that way i shall be abl

what's most appalling -- hague. what's most appalling is that nid of that what we see is, number one -- instead of that what we see is, number one, deafening silence. we hear deaf ing silence. where is the outrage? imagine if these were hunger strikers protesting the lack of freedom in another dictatorship. imagine. but the cuban people who now have had to for 50 years live as nonpersons, where is the media? where? these are men who are dying. zapata tamayo already died. guillermo is in the process of dying. felix has said he will be the next. those are people who we know are on hunger strikes to protest specifically, to request the release of these 25 heroes and i'd like to, if i may, read their names and i will submit their names for the record. our friend, dan burton, and now chris smith, talked about the brothers, mario and lincoln. it is a great honor for me to serve with my brother, first in tallahassee in the legislature, and now in the congress of the united states. it's been an honor and a privilege for the

and i've only had one shadow foreign secretary in william hague. he would be the finest foreign secretary this country's had for a generation. and there's something else i wanted to say. which is about people engaged in a real fight on the other side of the world, in afghanistan. one of the great privileges that i've had as leader of our party is each year i've been able to go to afghanistan and see for myself what our troops are doing and whether it's talking with the cold stream guards in central helmand or the r.a.f. regiment guarding the base at kandahar, you just come away struck with the dedication, the professionalism, the brill yans and courage of -- brill yans and courage of these people and i know everyone at this conference will want to send the clearest possible signal to our armed forces, we salute you, we honor you, we will always equip you and your families, because frankly you are the the best of britain. now, we have got a maximum of 70 days between now and the general election that we must win. and you know what? this isn't an ele

but alexander hague, a man we revered, alexander haig was there and we were watching and looking to see the remnants of the first gulf war, saddam hussein. here's a guy -- and i had a young girl with me who had left, had fled kuwait. she was going back. she wanted to see if her house, a palace on the persian gulf, was still there. when we got there, we found out that had been used by saddam hussein as one of his headquarters. and she wanted to go up in her bedroom. she was seven years old. she wanted to see if her little animals were still there. we got up there; they had used her bedroom for a torture chamber. there were body parts stuck to the walls. a little kid we saw had his ears cut off because he was caught carrying an american flag. i can remember the mass graves. we stood and looked in the mass graves that saddam hussein had tortured these people. we had people who were, he had sentenced to death who were begging to be dropped in to, to ease into the acid vats headfirst so they would die quicker. this is the type of thing taking place. here is a guy that murdered hundreds of th

little bit and keeping the temperatures up. 39 degrees in baltimore, 39 in washington d.c., 35 in hague that kept the temperatures from dropping a whole lot. not reaching the ground but the sky hd radar indicating that the bigger picture the spinning low in the southeast part of the country that is coming up our way. it won't be producing nearly as much snow as we have seen in the past. i will tell you why in a little bit. winds not too bad, either at 5-10 miles an hour. a lot of clouds until the storm gets here. let's see what is happening on the roadways with candace dold. she has the traffic edge, candace. >> reporter: thanks, steve. we're talking about new trouble on 83 this morning. an accident involving two suvs on the northbound lanes at timonium road exit. now let's show you exactly what the scene looks like. here is 83 just above the beltway and you can see we already have a straight line of cars there approaching that area. so we will continue to keep you up-to-date on this one, but as for now, york road is the best option for the alternate route. once you finally do approach

a recent example which has been agitated in the second circuit here is in relation to the hague treatylation to objection of international affection of children. a case called crowell and fourthly, where the love another and other countries played a part in the development of this trillion law applies in this chilling context in both constitutional and statutory and our constitution and elements of its content to the u.s. constitution. there are also differences in their art patients when we will look to u.s. constitutional jurisprudence in order to assist us in constitutional interpretation or application in australia, and similarly and statutory context. the next area and the last area i would mention is where the law of another country deals with issues similar to those with which it is trillion judge might have to do and we know there are areas of jurisprudence in which, which really crossover boundaries. for example we talk about competition law, intellectual property law, corporate regulation, insolvency and a friday of areas or countries has barro from another and the observatio

against humanity, so why not like one gentleman said, use the geneva convention and send them to the hague, the international prison. then we would not look so bad. but as far as the world is concerned -- if we bring them on u.s. soil, now we have to of for it -- afford them rights and habeas corpus. lincoln suspended habeas corpus during the civil war, although he was censured afterward, but that is the precedent we are using. why should we give rights of american citizens to any, that is from foreign nations? that is why we did not want to bring the trial to new york. i was born on long island. i lived in newark city, so i know that, ok, i want to stand up and say we are not afraid of terrorists. but the fact of the matter is, in this economy it is going to take some much security, so much money, that it is just not practical. why are we doing it? so we can stand up for the world? if we want to, then show them we believe that our constitution and we should turn it over to geneva. if you are going to criticize us for what we are doing trying to apply our law, then we turn it over to that.

do you regard the trial of serbian officials in the hague astor edition of national sovereignty? >> i think the creation of the international criminal tribunal on yugoslavia was a mistake because ultimately when you have a situation like the breakup of the former yugoslavia where abuses of human rights and war crimes were committed the society where the crimes were committed ultimately has to deal with it, ultimately has to come to terms with it. and it can make a decision whether it is in bosnia or serbia whether to bring criminal indictment against the people who perpetrated the crimes or to do something else like south africa did with the creation of the truth of reconciliation commission to deal with the aftermath of apartheid. but when you take responsibility for dealing with these terrible acts and remove them from the society's in question, you are creating the possibility for the abuse to older again and the potential for a sense of victimization. so i think that the idea that people are not mature enough to deal with problems that they are officials created is a mistake

night this kind of news flash came out that the european court of human rights in brussels, no, in the hague sorry, in the netherlands had ordered the british army to accept homosexuals. it was a violation of human rights in europe not to let homosexuals join your army, and, you know, if some foreign court tried to order our army to do anything, i think we would all rebel, we'd go crazy. but, no, what happened is the next morning the head of the british military said, okay, we'll accept gays. we've been told to do it, and we'll do it. so as long as people are willing to accept the authority asserted by those european institutions, they'll have authority. and they've done pretty well. there are some areas where they don't get any clout, but in my book i write about the huge areas of daily life that are now governed by brussels in every country. i have a chapter in my book about the metric martyr, this green goeser in the north of england, and he was jailed because he sold bananas by the pound, and by european law you can only sell fruit by the kilo, right? not by the pound. they also, remembe
