even a reality a possibility well full extermination of terrorism i think is a goal for the whole humankind which is not very easy to achieve terrorism is actually spreading. when the great war with terror happened after nine eleven. there was an assumption that terrorism is more or less localized in afghanistan and then they were looking for causes of terrorism in iraq what it looks looks like it is more widespread now we can fire and the terrorist training grounds in some countries of southeast asia. they are also quite active in central asia in the former soviet union so it is spreading if as financing. weapons are there. and courses for terrorism are created. almost daily by in aisle killing people for example in afghanistan killing civilians in afghanistan by the international coalition cause more people joining joined into terrorist forces unfortunately i think this is something of that thing there were in smaller scale weapons in the northern caucasus you know where. federal. or local authorities operations. sometimes increase resistance you know the. women who were blowing up themse

people are studying the origins of all humankind.dy who finds fossils, finds a human fossil like this, becomes emotionally involved with them. we want our fossil to be on the tree. we want our fossil to be an ancestor to all humanity. and i think that's something that colors our thinking. >> simon: today, to examine and re-examine his own thinking, berger is using the most up-to- the-minute science to study these most ancient of creatures. he recently took sediba on a trip to grenoble, france, to one of the world's most sophisticated x-ray systems, called a syncrotron. just a few years ago, you would have had to destroy the rock surrounding sediba to get a good look at him. that's not necessary now, since the scanner sees right through the rock. it can fill a screen with something one one-hundredth the size of a human hair. >> berger: it's going to peer into him, and it's going to tell us what treasures sit inside of him that we can't even imagine. i mean, we've really never been able to look at this level inside of something in our

that program bears tremendous guilt for our people and be sure humankind to move. freely who decided the program should be made and to add. generals are in government towns with. state property as they are controlled by saakashvili himself program is one of the signs of that. those outside the states control may face intimidation or unemployment. case in point staying in a shelter for refugees in switzerland he's unable to complete his film about the georgian conflict. i'm worried not so much for my own sake as for my family georgian government has shown that they can kill people. children to receive visas enjoined from abroad he's warned them not to meet with journalists and to keep off the streets as much as possible he gets most of the news about his family and his country through close friends. tell me what you want to take care of your immigration problems. visit you in october chances are i myself might come back before october if the government changes. the government. will yes why not it's cost. us telling still working on the script of a new film nobody's

strains from the 40s to the 30s to 1800s and just going way back in time to prehistory where men or humankindlways had a desire and need to express themselves, mark their territory, tell stories. there's graffiti in the bible, if you can believe that. so what we're doing today and what i try to convince people who are proponents of it, it's bigger than just johnny tagging on a wall. it's part of a greater movement. and individuals who did it, if they understand it's part of a greater movement, they can take more of a responsible active role in it. >> do something with it. >> do something with it. these days in many aspects it's also big business. when i talk to young adults, why do something for free when you can make money off of it. >> that's what you're doing? >> exactly. taking my ideas in graffiti talk, three dimensional wild style lends itself well into art and architecture. >> do you think you have touched some taggers? >> yeah. i get a lot of e-mails because manufacture book -- >> you go to high schools? >> that's something i have a passion for, sharing my experiences about art and st

them out of poverty and that's the way ultimately to reduce the total environmental footprint of humankind and there's nothing dirty about carbon dioxide this clean energy phrase is very costly and totally inappropriate carbon dioxide is a naturally occurring trace gas which seven hundred fifty million years ago was present in the atmosphere at seven hundred twenty three times its present concentration and yet life on earth survived grew and flourished so the idea that carbon dioxide in the tiny additional amounts that we are capable of liberating is somehow going to be dangerous or unhealthy or for that matter to cause very much warming is simply spurious this bill that's trying to go through the senate which won't get through the senate is simply a way of taking money from working people and. unsparing it to the rich it's unspeakable for a democrat administration that ought to be representing working people to try to present such a bill particularly when there is no scientific or economic case for so doing ok jason we just heard from lord christopher that obama's in endeavors are pointle

and an act of faith that viewers call in and make pledges, but you seem to have a lot of faith in humankind. i know that's who we are. i know that who we are is not this body that we're in, it's not the things that we accomplish, who we are is divine creations. i've always said that you're not a human being having a spiritual experience, you're a spiritual being having a human experience. and as a spiritual being, you understand that you can make that return trip, that's what the "tao" is all about. that's probably the most profound teaching within the "tao." i have a total, complete trust in knowing that public television will survive, it has to survive, and it will survive because of you. from listening and watching you all these years, it's really obvious that you love music, and it's fabulous because we all know about the power of music and what it can do to your heart. tell us a little bit about the special music and then we are going to see -- just a little bit of a preview. well, this lady has been with me for, since the late 1980s. her name is cecilia. she was at the oslo conservato

and here at the united nations, we often speak of a desire to forge a more humane fellowship with humankind, and today, we must match that aspiration with action. i realize that many countri including my own are facing a tough economic conditions and very tight budgets, and we have also indoor and unrelenting strip -- an unrelenting stream of disasters -- we have also entered an unrelenting stream of disasters this year, but we must answer the pakistani request for help. on august 11, the united nations issued a $459 million emergency flood response plan and asked for the international community to respond. at the outset of this conference today, existing pledges of assistance put us half way toward this goal. that is a solid start, but we must close the gap. with a new pledge that i am making today are $60 million, the united states will be contributing more than $150 million toward emergency flood relief. approximately $92 million of that total is in direct support of the united nations relief plan. these funds are being us to provide critical supplies and support operations of the pakist

host: so, humankind will prevail in the midst of this dead sea of news? your theory is basically humankind will prevail despite the bad news right now? caller: i think we will have to hit bottom. like an alcoholic. we have to hit bottom and we are not there yet. i think the people are slowly rolling around to the idea that we really have to do something from the bottom up. we have to get rid of washington and 98% of the people down there. we have to curb the corporations because they are destroying the earth. grand scale stuff, but that is what happens. left of their own devices, corporations will grind is up and put us out as they have been. host: thanks, john, from lancaster, pennsylvania. good time to catch up with the results of the primary election for senate in an alaska. there is a lot of tea leaf reading. on the line with us is the report be -- reporter for mcclatchy newspaper and "the anchorage daily news," which is one of their properties. as the situation stands, people who follow politics know that all of the precincts have been counted and th
