this is a healthy coalition. they can not only carry on for five years, but also the next election. >> i am a member of the conservative party. i stand for what? can you delineate between the conservatives and liberals and the labor party? >> if you were to draw a continuous spectrum from what you might call the left to the right, the conservative party tends to occupy the right hand third of that spectrum although are extremists. the liberal party is in the middle third -- that would be wrong. there are some level will mps.ea they are liberal and the old sense of the word -- in the old sense of the word. liberal means belief in individual freedom, a belief in individual liberty. >> like a libertarian? >> you can be a libertarian, but there are low tax liberals as well. it is a belief in freedom and a belief in freedom. >> let's say that you have the correct or for the afghan war. if you're conservative, what is your position? >> if you are a conservative, it ranges from being against the war all along to being a

who supports the coalition. >> why would he support the coalition? >> he is a little democrat. -- he used to be a liberal democrat. i do not think he belongs to any party, now. he is moving to the right of me in his own opinion. but that does not stop you working at "the guardian." in some ways, is more fun to be out of kilter with the majority view at your newspaper. you need voices that will understand, are sympathetic to, and will explain the coalition. >> you mentioned education. he said that you do not pay for education here. i heard on the radio the other day that students were demonstrating on the government's increasing the cost of university. if you go to a college -- one of the hard things we have trouble understanding,private education, here, is public and public education is private? >> we have endless confusion over this. over this use of language. public school in britain --in the old days, on the whole, rich people would have their children educated by a tutor. quite a lot of rich people and middle-class people decided to set up school

we have over a thousand what we call community coalitions. and a coalition is a group of interested people in a community coming together for a common goal. and what the coalition's job is, is to connect people to services, connect people with helping to restrict availability of drugs and alcohol in a community, to strengthen laws, policies, and get them enforced to working with your law enforcement officers and associate with the schools. so we, i would say that within every state we have a good handful of coalitions. we need many more. but every state office of behavioral health, alcohol and drugs or mental health should have a listing of those coalitions and i would say parents if they were really looking and were lost and didn't know how to maneuver the waters because some of what you're talking about is very true, i would call the state office first and get a connection and then go from there. well, when we come back, we're going to be talking about what we can do as individuals in order to help youth not even get into alcohol or drugs.

talks to former coalition government stalled after parliamentary election in march gave no single bloc a majority. it took nine months for the parties to reach a deal. >> translator: each bloc has to cooperate to establish a strong government. >> reporter: iraqis hope the new government will pave the way for full scale reconstruction. hotels in baghdad are quickly being renovated, ready for a summit in march. iraqi government asked to host the summit, seeing it as a chance to show the country's recovery. iraqis also tried to attract investment from abroad. iraqi industrial products and textiles were shown at a trade fair in baghdad in october. >> i am confident that the coming years will prove that we have the industrial base to be proud of. >> reporter: iraqis are increasingly hopeful about their country's future. nearly 100,000 who left to escape the violence have come back in the past three years. this 32-year-old came back from jordan two months ago. >> translator: before i came back, i imagined the economy and security were much better. >> reporter: but he was in for a disappointm

the coalition government. the existence is ingenuous because they are being blackmailed by minority partners , two minority partners, if not one. the julif and mgm. as far as the government is concerned certainly i agree that richard holbrooke lost because he was more pakistan centric. he certainly did a lot for pakistan and the present government. the president pakistan government will find it very difficult to survive, at least invested perceptions without richard holbrook's broad shoulders to support them. economically we are in a mess. in a sense that just before i walked in the imf package is in doldrums. we cannot deliver the reform. .. as he said, the counterterrorism war is in pakistan and the sooner people realize it, the better. there will have to be a concerted counterterrorism action within pakistan. this is the heartland of pakistan, and it is a tenuous situation and i think really at the end of the day, the fighting that has taken place in afghanistan is taking all the money and all the effort. t

being a coalition does not mean a merger. we will fight the next general election. >> he thought you were friday region running a government that had not thought through its plans. was that the most worrying thing he put to you? >> i disagree. i think the lesson for the previous government is they woke up to the need to reform things are very late in the day and had to do it at a breakneck speed and never completed it. what we have done is learning from that. we said right at the beginning of the process, we have to do difficult things, but we should also take the first six through eight months to set up our long term reforms. we have done that. now we have the time to implement those ideas properly, and i totally accept the people say, you are making one announcement after the next. the worst thing would have been to wait until year 3 and say that we want to change some things, because we would not have time to do it. i think the test of time will judge favorably the decision we have taken to announce early on things we want

and no matter who lives in the block- but coalitions are so crucial for us to disseminate in terms of underage drinking and the prevention. give us an example, marco, of how block by block manifests itself in the latino community? so we have a coalition- actually, it's paid by the csap, the prevention, federal government in which we focus the underage drinking. so we have formed a coalition and the ecosystem becomes a part- the schools, police, community organizations, banks, everybody is involved in that and we bring together. and interesting, we hire moms to policing, if you want to say, patrol, there's a patrol, policing- so the moms are- the moms are working with us in terms of making sure that the crowds, the street, they go to school. and it's so active, involved, the community, that they are feeling like they are contributing and besides they are making a little money for their families. so i truly believe, you know, this notion of coalition and being involved in community, block clubs, can promulgate, disseminate the importance of prevention, especially in the substance abuse.

and each organization sends delegates to coalitions to san francisco neighborhood monthly meetings. we have a monthly news letter. many of our organizations delegates sit on citizen advi adviceaadvic adviceary committees and active in the big over all, city wide issues in san francisco. one of the things we have completed is the water rates, which were threatening to be sky high for neighborhoods are now we didn't completely win the battle but we got them down to something decent. whenever there is something on channel 26 you will see someone from coalition from san francisco neighborhood testified in front of a board, commissioner committee. other things that we have done in the past, the housing elements. better neighborhoods planning the implementation. we actually were the genesis of the sponsoring organizations for this meeting today. mayor's office of neighborhood services sprang from coalition from san francisco neighborhood presence at city hall and the neighborhood desk. thank you. >> hello my name is lela gill the president of the north panhandle neighborhood association.

he wants to build a coalition of friends. you got to make enemies. one thing, chris, i tnk the house democrats are turning themselves into a protest party deciding we're not going to be a governing party, we're a protest party. we're like the republicans and protest things. that's a problem. chris: the moderate democrats all lost. they're not there anymore. >> last saturday night before the kennedy honorsrdwas at the state department for these talks and then on sunday morning she couldn't deliver her troops. chris: we turned the corner this week, 12 of our regulars including andrea, can the president get the g.o.p. to compromise on a big deal on the huge debt next year? it's unanimous, 12-0, our meter says he could get compromise next year on the debt. andrea, so this movement of the president toward the center negotiating and finding a deal with the republicans, offending the left more tends next year? >> some kind of big deficit reduction is entirely possible. someone should tell the bond market which is crazy all week with the spending in this tax

the lower house is controlled by the ruling coalition while the coalition is a minority in the upper house. >>> japan's top prosecutor's office has released results of its investigation into a postal fraud case that ended in the acquittal of a senior health ministry official. in the case handled by the osaka district public prosecutor's office last year, the court rejected most of the claims against the health ministry official. after an acquittal in september of this year, tsunehiko maeda, the prosecutor who headed the investigation, was arrested and indicted for allegedly altering data on a floppy disc submitted as evidence. two of his superiors were also indicted on suspicion of covering his actions. on friday the supreme public prosecutor's office concluded that prosecutors should not have arrested or indicted the health ministry official without thoroughly looking into evidence that contradicted their accusations. evidence tampering by the osaka prosecutor was blamed on systemic problems such as excessive pressure from superiors to incriminate the health ministry official. follo

>> there was a coalition government in the 1930's of a kind. of course, during the second world war, we had a coalition government. during the 1970's, we had an informal working arrangement between the liberal party and the labor party. almost all of those previous coalitions have been weak-kneed things where a government that was in trouble was needing to be propped up by another party or to get it through an emergency, like the second world war. nobody alive in britain today has any real experience of a willing coalition between two quite strong party is who, when joined together, are a fairly -- are in a fairly impregnable position and agree with each other on primary policy. this is a healthy coalition that has the seeds to carry on for five years, but perhaps to carry on the other side of a general election. that is new to us in britain. it is common on the content, but not here. >> i am a member of the conservative party. i stand for what? if i am a liberal, i stand for what? >> there is a spectrum from what you might call the left to the

that laid the blame with our coalition partners, the free democrats.ccording to a svey, of the 541 german leaders in business politics and administration survey, 72% said they are unsatisfied with the coalition government. >> the figures still show widespread disappointment in angela merkel's government, despite the economy's strong recovery. many of those surveyed are unimpressed with wester wewe lle. they think he is overstretched in his dual role. but effectiveness is growing, albeit slowly. >> the initial difficult the coalition experience are still being felt. the majority of top managers feel these difficulties have not been totally overcome. >> overall, the business leaders have a positive economic outlook, but they are less optimistic about the future of the european single currency, the euro. 45% say they have no concerns about the euro's stability, but a majority, 54%, fear for the stability of the currency. their biggest worry is the debt burdens of some eurozone members. >> the managers from the economic sector, in particular, have the view

because of the timing that the coalition was made aware of it coming to land use. and hasn't really had a chance to make a formal position or to take a formal position on this piece of legislation. but in talking to them, i don't they are in disagreement with the legislation. they did express some concern about the timing of it and not having enough time to respond. one area they wanted to talk about had to deal with the certification as it relates to ownership for businesses. i explained that this issue was not in the legislation because it was substantive in nature and can have more of a fundamental change regarding which firms can be certified. i told him that over the next six months or one year, it can be something that we go back and look at. if those types of businesses can be certified or not, in my mind, it is a more substantive change overall, and it is something that the agency along with a coalition should explore. it is a complicated process. supervisor chiu: thank you. >> i just wanted to respond to supervisor chiu's responding to the requirements. we

things are a bit different in a coalition government. you have a lot of debate between the two parties, the liberal- democrats and the conservatives, that has to happen behind closed doors in the treasury before these things get announced. there is a new check and balance on a conservative power that would not have been there. unless something cataclysmic goes through, will law will change the >> if you work for the chancellor of the exchequer versus the treasury secretary in the united states, what would be added to be like? >> i suspect this speech writing process would be different. depends on the person. -- it depends on the person. hi think most of these guys get in there and have people they trust and a walk in at the last minute. people at the u.s. treasury would tear their hair out. there is not a lot of time for checking with the rest of the bureaucracy. what is really interesting is different is that the u.k. treasury is much more powerful in the u.k. than the huge u.s. treasury is. what was surprising to me is out in bits and

this is a healthy coalition. they can not only carry on for five years, but also the next election. >> i am a member of the conservative party. i stand for what? can you delineate between the conservatives and liberals and the labor party? >> if you were to draw a continuous spectrum from what you might call the left to the right, the conservative party tends to occupy the right hand third of that spectrum although they are extremists. the liberal party is in the middle third -- that would be wrong. there are some level will mps. they are liberal in the old sense of the word. liberal means belief in individual freedom, a belief in individual liberty. >> like a libertarian? >> you can be a libertarian, but there are low tax liberals as well. it is a belief in freedom and a belief in freedom. >> let's say that you have the correct or for the afghan war. if you're conservative, what is your position? >> if you are a conservative, it ranges from being against the war all along to being a really enthusiastic person in

i want to thank the housing coalition. this has been issue that is before them and a high priority, and with help, we have got this piece of legislation before us. >> thank you, supervisor. ms. sullivan, planning department. some specific sections, as you know, you have passed and have been working on the package and updating it. this is going to make a few additional tweaks to the package. it is going to have four new oat areas, including for qualified student housing. .-- for new areas. it will apply to any area in the city that has five or more units. they will be exempt from having to participate in the affordable housing fee, so in one section, the criteria for those are laid out, and i will go through them quickly. there is the institutional master plan on file with the planning department. in that, it has to describe the type and location of housing used by the city. it has to state the number of students that will receive some aid. once we have received those, we will be recording notices of restrictions on the pro

he decided to build this coalition with what he called his natural partners. my views about the peace process and the need to achieve peace are different from this coalition. i offered netanyahu in the past more than once to have a different coalition that cannot only speak about the ideal of two states for two people but also translate into peace treaty with the palestinians. he decided to have this coalition, unfortunately, because part of my frustration today is that we are sitting together and two years ago it was not -- excuse me -- it was not news, it was not big deal. i mean we met israelis and palestinians on a daily basis in the negotiations room helping each other to solve problems on the ground. so i truly hope that there is a better understanding today in israel by the public and also leaders and politician that peace treaty is our own interest. it's not a favor to the united states and not even to the palestinians. >> on that note, i wish we had more time. thank you both, prime minister fayyad, tzipi livni. >> thank. >> you thanks. >> thank you so

the safety network and sunset neighborhood coalition we have worked together to prepare for the sunset community festival. one of the tools that we use is to try to make the event really run, really entertaining and try to make it culturally appropriate for the communality. one of the tools we use to try to make it appropriate is that in all of our fliers and out reach materials we try to translate all of them to the different languages that our community members use. and also we try to build relationships with our local media. i think that is one of the most effective way to let all of our community members know about our events. not only just english but media press with the local chinese narp or whatever language your community may need. thots one of the most effective way to get to community measures that may be more isolate the. and i think fundraising campaign is also a great way to build community because in our community, there are play grounds that are old and i'm sure there are play grounds in your community that are old and needs to be renovated. and i think play grounds is

second, coalition for san francisco neighborhoods are the mother. i can't get in touch with you unless you sign in to the clip board that should be going around. please, sign it and put your name and address and phone number or not address by neighborhood in there. >> i do want to stress that the city, through the department of children youth and families funded for every big population of neighborhoods the new convener grant where they pay someone who is holding convening meetings where tla bring city departments and neighborhood associations and residents and tenant associations together. that's a resource that people need to tap into. it's not for a set population it's for a neighborhood. that money as of july first, is out there and people are being paid to do that. this is your opportunity to may be hold them accountable for that. >> i just have to agree with cheryl, there are 2 programs one is focus on public safety issues. i would highly recommend that people tap into the safety organizationer in your neighborhood they have relationships with

the prime minister stepped in to make the case in back of his coalition partner. students way to find out how much university education will cost and the labor leader accuses ministers of betraying young people. at the center of the storm, the lib dem leader, offering concessions. >> under the new system, everyone will pay back less than what they pay under the current system. they will pay back every month. that is the case. the poorest will pay less, the riches will pay more. >> only the prime minister could triple tuition fees and claim it is a better deal for students. no one is convinced. quex by 3:00, the party leaders were preparing for interviews. mr. cameron told an audience the changes were fair. >> we have seen the marches and protests. we have seen how passionate many of our students are about this issue. let me tell you this, i am just as passionate. just as passionate the young people should have the chance to go to university, whatever their background. >> at the same time, nick clegg was telling the bbc he regretted breaking his promise on tuition

. >> is a test of the coalition, one of many tests in the future. it is because the girl democrat mp's are much -- is because the liberal democrat mp's, their instinct is to protect the weakest in society, but more austerity measures are planned in the u.k., so the big question is whether liberal democrats will vote for them in the future. >> thank you very much for that. >>> a commission set out by t german interior minister has recommended merging the country's federal police force with the federal office of criminal investigation. the report said the increased threat posed by international terrorists requires a more effective, national policing structure. >> germany is still on high terrorism alert and the country's security forces are stretched. the operation involves the federal police, the federal criminal office, and the country's many regional police forces. after loong at the coronation of the security institutions for eight months, a commission has concluded that too many departments are doubled up and less effective than they could be. no

coalitions, and political coalitions, so that finding common ground rather than going at it in a deathgrip struggle over this line or a bad piece of territory. we did that piece of territory. if you can come up with coalition plans, and they could put pressure on the process up front. there are caucuses in this room that historically have met that challenge. >> give us an example. the kind of coalition building that you were talking about that has been effective that could serve as a model for other folks to follow. >> i can give you a new york example. there is a caucus and new york -- in new york state black- hispanic-asian legislative caucus. back in the 1980's, that group first challenge be reduced in plan for new york city -- redistricting plan for new york city. they shot down -- they shut down the ridge assisting -- the redistricting process. they challenged the commission that i have now been appointed to, but then they challenge the commission, the leadership of the state legislature, and they forced the redrawing of additional congressional districts. had those groups not wor

today, he believed coalition troops have halted taliban momentum in much of the country but he warned any gains are fragile and reversible. yet again, raises questions about the partnership with the government of president karzai. >> there are now more american troops fighting in afghanistan that ever before, rsa and the firepower making a difference? president obama said yes but the gains are far from it. >> progress comes slowly and that a very high price in the lives of our men and women in uniform. in many places, the gains that we have made are still fragile and reversible. there is no question that we are clearing more areas from taliban control and more afghans are reclaiming their communities. >> extra troops in the south might be making a difference in tackling the taliban but many still last more than secure. -- many still would do not feel secure. they would like a drawdown starting next summer. that would depend on the readiness of afghan forces to protect the afghan people. the review says that the quality and quantity of the afghan security forces have improved. there ar

now we have a coalition of 49 nations. and this sends a powerful message that the coalition of nation nations that the force of afghanistan is strong and is growing. now, i'm not here to give a long speech. i want to shake many hands as i can. but let me say that at this time of year americans are giving thanks for all the blessings that we have. as we begin this holiday season, there is no place that i would rather be than be here with you. i know it is not easy for all you to be away from home, especially during the holidays. but i know it is hard on your families. they have an empty seat at the dinner table. sometimes during the holiday season that is when you feel the absence of some you love most acutely. but here is what i want you to know. as president of the united states i have no greater responsibility than keeping the american people secure. i could not meet that responsibili responsibility, we could not protect the american people, we could not enjoy the blessings of our liberty without the extraordinary servic

i don't want to break up that coalition. we usually have a general person's agreement in san antonio, texas, there has historically been one black state regtive and one african-american on the city council. they're not black, they're districts. in the houston area, fort bend county right outside my district, there was a black guy that ran for the district, he chairs the martin luther king committee. he didn't win. he was frustrate add then didn't run the next time. a hispanic lawyer jumped up and won the seat. an african-american beat her. we have to have a closed door discussion and say we can't always control these general person agreements. i say we to try to have the dialogue on nafta at the federal level. the issue of labor unions being concerned by jobs. my part of the country where it was important, the african-american members of congress and teixeira politicians restrained themselves from getting that -- out too far that they were defense the issues because they knew it was important to hispanics as it was the case

i am a member of the southeast jobs coalition. i am in support of this legislation. i can see where it can benefit a lot of disadvantaged workers, people who have been displaced. the recidivism rate can be lowered as far as people going in and out of prison and not having opportunities, without training or trades. this legislation will allow a lot of different agencies to work together that have had a disconnect in the past. it will bring a lot of people together who have not had the opportunity to have a voice in this process. and this is something that has been needed because of the fact that the economic opportunities are in the city and in a lot of these disadvantaged neighborhoods, so the trades that have been closed and had no access, now there will be opportunity for people to get into these trades and earn a livelihood. the opportunity that it will afford the city that is in dire straits as far as economics will be a win situation for everybody, and for the work force development, it will allow them to work with their cbo's, where they can be part of the work

led coalition in afghanistan is denying reports it's extending its reach into neighboring pakistan but the new york times has quoted an anonymous american official saying special forces will start targeting militants across the border the u.s. has been using unmanned drones to strike suspected insurgency bases in pakistan and is often accused of killing civilians in the process as i'm about has described the attacks as a violation of its territorial sovereignty well for more on this we're joined live by mike preston told veterans of peace who is in kabul now i must defer to you but if these operations do actually begin do you think it means coalition forces will be staying in the region for much longer than previously thought. the audio is good me trouble if you could repeat that again i'm sorry yes indeed i mean do you think that the forces would remain. in for much longer than previously thought if these reports are actually true. if these reports are actually true. it's very disturbing. actually we we've heard bits and pieces of reports earlier. suggesting that special forces operat

nations calling for his release raising questions about double standards in human rights run beca coalition says the nobel peace prize is purely political china is right when. the united states is used human rights of the mantle of human rights as a way to deal with the governments it wants to overthrow bad that was certainly the case in the old former soviet union it's been the case in cuba it's the in the case of china today i think the united states wants to overthrow the government of china even while it's doing business with it there's an organic tendency by the united states to overthrow or try to overthrow every regime that follows an independent path the nobel peace prize is a is a political prize there's only been one chinese person in the history of this prize has ever gotten this award and it happens to be the man who's championing crusading against the existing government in china and he's embraced by all the western powers that's not an accident that's a political act so the u.s. is using human rights as a political football to demonize those who it wants to overthrow it wants

they are in a coalition together. but we learned tonight that prime minister nick clegg spoke with irritation at the indifference of some of his ministers and says they are concerned far too much about personality and battles within the coalition rather than the positive achievements of working together with the tories. it has to be said it is not good to make the business of working together any easier. >> scotland yard has confirmed that a woman has died after she was attacked by a dog. the victim who was in her forties suffered multiple injuries during the attack in south london and was pronounced dead at the scene. officers said the dog, a belgian mastiff, was shot to death by police at the property. a prominent left-wing scottish politician has been told by a judge who will be sent to prison, convicted of perjury. sheridan is baled awaiting sentence by the high court after being found guilty of lying under oath after his successful libel case against the owners of a newspaper. this is bbc news. the headlines. mor
