david rubinsohn: well, while laura and moya are inside trinity college, i'm outside trinity college.st experiencing the sites, the sounds, all the hustle and bustle of dublin. it is just incredible. and when you think of what public television has done, yet again, i hope you consider making that pledge of support to keep programs like this alive. because this is a show you're not going to see anywhere else but on public television. we wouldn't have it any other way. it's not, it's not beholden to commercial enterprises; it is made possible by pledges by folks just like you. if you're, if you're capturing something from the culture of this show, from the music of this show, then i ask you to take a moment and remember the station that is making it possible. and that is this station that you're watching right now. so please, pick up the phone, make a pledge of support to keep programs like this on the air. we have thank you gifts for you as well, but the mission of public television is really what it's all about. the music of ireland and the mission of public television. laura savini:

prashad director of international studies at trinity college there in connecticut thanks for joining us live on r.t. thank you sir. or during this period of unrest in the arab world saudi arabia america's staunchest ally in the region has knowledge we've been spared in part thanks to a strictly enforced ban on public protests today ati's people live and he's going to discuss what the future might hold for the middle east's richest nation crosstalk is coming your way later this hour but here's a brief preview for you. the growing sand storm unique arab middle east as change sweeps the region to saudi arabia immune to outside influences u.s. president barack obama says he supports democracy and the aspirations of the people does this apply to the kingdom of saudi. russian's accession to the world trade organization is a top priority for washington that's according to vice president joe biden who met present during a visit to moscow aimed at reaffirming the reset of relations between the two countries. is following the visit. to push the reset button piece was the legendary phrase first

and yemen as well earlier i spoke with he's a professor and director of international studies at trinity college and here's part of our conversation. some of this is simply if print looking reviewing says being brought together by a can be agent you know once tunisia it inspired people in other countries to bring up big reveals is too good to wards a public space i mean that's one of the main things nobody has talked about is egypt the capital cities has a public square where people can gather you know if you are in your or the united states where public spaces have declined will not appreciate how important that he square was for cairo the ability to occupy. that is center of the city and has symbolic meaning so there was a grandmother said by the protesters early from companies here that has been followed but it must be kept in mind that in each of these contexts these situations are local the grievances are different in but in the grievances are separate from the grievances in syria and certainly the context in libya is utterly different certainly utterly different by your take on why

as in hartford connecticut he's a professor and director of international studies at trinity college. hey there every day we will go to libya in a moment but first i want to talk about these other countries really interesting when you look from socialist type of government to an absolute monarchy to sort of tribal form of government we see so many similarities though in the way some of these uprisings are being carried out what do you think is the threat here that weaves these nations together. some of this is simply different looking. being brought together by a contagion you know once tunisia to please it inspired people in other countries to bring up big greedy and says to good towards publics i mean that's one of the main things nobody's talked about is each of the capital cities has a public square where people can gather you know if you are in your or the united states where public spaces have declined will not appreciate how important he square was for cairo the ability to occupy a place that is central to the city and has symbolic meaning so there was a grammar set up by the p

director of international studies at trinity college and as washington considers arming the rebels and broadening the military mission is it ready for the potential blowback artie's guy and it's a context a look at the ghost of wars past the international community permitted intervention in libya to protect civilians from colonel qaddafi but washington wants to go further than that and is considering arming the rebels while officially denying that toppling khadafi is the objective of its involvement in libya but broadening our military mission to include regime change would be a mistake president obama has reportedly signed a secret order authorizing covert american support for rebel forces seeking to oust the lead in leader critics of the u.s. taking sides in a civil war war of the consequences we help accelerate the chaos. and in creating more chaos we're to we think somehow we're going to be able to direct the outcome it's the same hubris that has visited the united states and iraq the same hubris that keeps us opinion in afghanistan causes us to believe that somehow we are going to

thousand seven hundred three and that was the professor and director of international studies at trinity college. or so a lot of confusion of course about what's going on but i do expect in the next few days there will be i don't go out of selling the action in libya to the american people by some of our highest leaders more and more this is part of the strategy of the mission itself are his loyalists or takes a look at how this is continuing and done what exactly comes out of it the reality of war the worst hell and that's why you only go to war when it's an absolute interest to your national security it's one reason why coalition forces do battle with an information war to fight alongside the real one playing out on the ground in afghanistan for example so it's not really known by these milestones it's the longest war in american history we have surpassed the soviet campaign there we have spent exceptional amount of money but instead carries this message of mourning on the street welcome to the new day of hope and reconstruction in the war torn region which accommodates conflict. but h

so how will that testimony shape what happens next he is the director of international studies i trinity college he joins us now from hartford. hey how you doing hey every day you know on capitol hill today we just saw gates and mullen defending the action but also pretty brutally honest in what is not known do you think there's a clear strategy outlined when it comes to libya if not you know in their testimony then at least inside the oval office. well it's curious to me that they say they don't know anything that's happening on the ground largely because the united states has a very close friend who is running the military operations for the benghazi rebels from the early nineteenth piece he leads february two thousand and one colonel khalifa there lived in vienna virginia which is a suburb of washington d.c. and seven miles away from langley virginia o'connell a colleague there was an important figure in the movement against gadhafi called the libyan national army protect them did uprising in one thousand nine hundred six which was down and he recognized me i arrived back in. just bef

there was the deal at trinity plaza. i would also point out that they have conflated market rate and luxury. this project is located in a part of town without amenities. the price point will necessarily be lower. it is definitely in the range of someone like myself, a two- income family. that is a market which is grossly under build. of the upper rate of the market level, in the range you're talking about, 12.9%. this is what you have to do if you have a prayer. please support this project. they keep. >> oh, my name is chris campbell. i and an architect in san francisco. i reviewed the unborn little impact report for the parkmerced project, and this was based on the 1940's-era car planning a. more transportation, better bicycle paths, better -- there are missing amenities, such as community gardens, restaurants, coffee shops, etc.. potable water, consumption, and water reduction. it seems to me that by going through with this plan, park merced would be and out of date approached and creating a potential international mod

trinity county. >>> okay, let's bring in our chief meteorologist jeff ranieri. this is amazing. driving to work today, along the peninsula, air conditioning in my car it was so warm. >> oh, yes. i have mine on every day just about. not good for conserving energy, but yeah, it was warm out there. those car thermometers reading in the low to mid 80s. marleau, i thought you were going to the game. >> i was there from about 10:00 till 1:00 today. >> you looking from oakland into downtown, 76 right now in oakland. that northeasterly wind pushing right into san francisco as well hoping to warm temperatures up at the ballpark this afternoon for that giants game. temperatures rights now at 76. still holding on to 84 in santa rosa, 80 in livermore, 78 in san jose and it was comfortable and warm today. we're going to see temperatures going even warmer for tomorrow with record warmth coming our way. 80 degree weather for thursday. weekend changes. don't get too used to this 70 and 0 degree weather. clear skies currently for most of the viewing area because high pressure continues to sit ri

has warned of the unfolding humanitarian crisis on the trinity and border where thousands have been fleeing the violence in libya artie's paulus leaders in chile this with more. so far moving seventy five thousand people had fish itchy tunas from neighboring libya the situation on the border is chaotic as border guards they struggle to keep calm and i know his latest address to the libyan people need a more likely does he warned against american intervention in his country he said that should the united states or any other foreign power try to intervene thousands of libyans would die is it to quote him that he was willing to fight every last man and every last woman for years to keep control in his country he also said that he was not the president and therefore he could not resign he could not dissolve parliament and he could not and made the constitution now some question the latest thoughts on the british prime minister david cameron wants to me to establish a no fly so overtly appear to have been rejected by maybe an international community on its hands and russia they say situate actua

easy set himself on fire and publish stories of runaway corruption eroding the top echelon of the trinity and government. after when the. i came and the hundred was what he did. i think tradition was nature to. disturb the change what's happened in tunisia and also in egypt and it's happening in a few other places these diplomatic cables troll people. they were actually right and not trusting the government in thinking that there was something that was corrupt. steinberg shams the public spotlight he's going to stay in the shade although in actual fact he's just as much a godfather of the wiki leaks project as julian assange. yes my name is daniel schmidt this is julia sons and we're here to make a short presentation about what we can extract what we don't yield on steinberg could be described as co-creator of the internet's most scandalous website sit together he understands took the idea of creating a site where any person can safely post secret information anonymously and made it a reality that with you weeks i heard about wiki leaks in september two thousand and seven and in november

talk about making good choices in terms of spending and winners and losers and with the interest at trinitynot that i'm opposed to it. that's part of being a free country, but it makes it very difficult to get majorities. again, you have the fact that leadership seems to have less clout with the members and kind of the increased democratization in terms of political power. yes, i think it would take a crisis. >> the incentives and politics are to defeat hungry kids. as long as that continues to be an incentive, that the way you can act. it's predictable. >> what question about the composition? how do you rate the newly elected tea party members on the congress in terms of their understanding of economics and complexity of the federal budget? >> i don't know how you quite frankly. besides my first year under the capitol dome with someone with a mother who brought her five kids, and a full scholarship amherst is how does a guy like me ever get their? after six months you wonder how everybody else got there. i think when you start taking a look at the way it works, you know, there's a lot of e

well i'm standing here on the border crossing between trinity and libya. and there certainly is a growing sense here that as the situation in libya deteriorates so too does the possibility for foreign intervention grow now the u.s. president barack obama in his strongest words so far against the libyan leader moammar gadhafi said that gadhafi has lost all legitimacy to rule and must step down he also said that he had approved the use of american military equipment to assist in the evacuation of egyptian and other refugees from libya the latest word from washington is that they are not ruling out a no fly zone this is in contrast to what the pentagon chief says short time ago he said they're doing this would be an act of war it would require the bombing of libya's air defenses the latest word from president obama also was that they were considering all options on the table washington of course has asked british special forces who are in libya to secure several tons of mustard gas and other potential chemical weapons that are forced to be in the country ther

hartford connecticut and speak to the tipper son professor and director of international studies at trinity college and everyday i what do you make of all this president obama saying you know i'm going to let the u.n. to make the first move here but certainly a no fly zone is on the table people have been talking about it. a lot of people are talking about a lot of things but it's very interesting that the need to meet it is the french and the british who are pushing for a sort of semi what they called military minimal military intervention and it is the united states with germany that are trying to hold them back what nato has agreed for is for the washrooms to move closer to the libyan cause. any event what they're doing is secondly what robert gates the secretary of defense warned against gates fairly sober minded person this said that if you do a north liaison if you do minimal intervention it might be perceived as a big lucian a war which is a terrible political consequence and certainly it is a situation in which history is absolutely not repeating itself we saw with the amazin of ira

for charlotte is a professor and a director of international studies at trinity college. some of this is simply different local grievances being brought together but. you know once tunisia it inspired people in other countries to bring up the grievances awards conflicts i mean that's one of the main things nobody's talked about is each of the capital cities has a public square but people can gather you know if you're in your to or the united states blix says have declined will not appreciate how important that the square was for cairo the ability to occupy a place that is central to the city and have symbolic meaning so there was a grandmother said by the protesters early from tunisia that has been followed but it must be kept in mind that in each of these contexts the situation. the grievances different in part in the grievances are separate from the grievances in syria and certainly the context in libya is different certainly only different but your take on why the u.s. has chosen the u.s. the u.n. nato has chosen libya to focus on and avoided these other countries rang

check out the united trinity church reverend wright that christianity comes late and very much fused with the political sense of social justice and the involvement of the church and the kind of issues that obama cared about. but the closing this is a fascinating book, it covers i think that in america the coverage of obama tend to be very sanitized, and what i mean by that is not that it tends to be positive, i think it is, but more that it doesn't dig deep into the dimension of obama's life, his ideas, his heritage, and you have covered in this book a sort of side of obama's family history and i believe one very influential on obama i believe really completes our understanding of the man who happens to be as you say the most powerful men in the world pure thank you very much. the book is obamas, the untold story of an african family. fascinating read. thank you. >> guest: thank you. >> that was after was mack, booktv's signature program which authors of the latest nonfiction books are interviewed by journalists, public policy makers, legislators and others familiar with the material

go check out the united church, the trinity church with reverend wright.o that obama's christianity comes late and it's very much fused with the sort of political sense of social justice, involvement of the churches and the kinds of issues that obama cared about. let me say in closing that this is a fascinating book. it covers -- i think in america the coverage of obama tends to be very sanitized. and what i mean by that, not that it tends to be composited. i think it is. but more that it doesn't dig deep into the dimensions of obama's life, his ideas, his heritage. and you have covered in this book a sort of side of obama's families -- obama's family history. and i think one influential on obama that really completes our understanding of the man who happens to be as you say the most powerful man in the world. so peter firstbrook, thank you very much. the book is "the obamas: the untold story of an african family." a fascinating read. thank you very much. >> guest: thank you. >> that was "after words," booktv signature program in which authors of the lates

triniti is gabe's twin sister. they share the same gene pool. even the same uterus.ks black. and a child that looks white. the cunningham twins born just minutes apart, arrived in contrasting colors that wowed even nurses. people on the street don't know what to think. what do people say to you? >> how close in age are they? are you sure they're twins. >> are we baby sitting. >> yes. are you related? are you sure? >> reporter: are you sure. >> to be honest, they've called them mutts. >> reporter: that's right, mutts. >> they will be judged their entire lives. >> reporter: obviously, they're not identical twins, which happens when one egg is fertilized by one sperm, splitting in half. fraternal twins come from two separate eggs, fertilized by two sperm. but the odds of it producing different skin color in twins is a one in a million shot. it's rare. but this family had light and dark twins not once. but twice. strangers often assume khristi slept with another man. >> that's one of the first things that usually comes out of the any comments. is they have a different fa

and then we have the holy trinity which is green peppers, onions, a little bit of garlic., they're thinking it's going to be hot. >> the thing that makes it is the seasoning. i have some creole seasoning. the more you put, the hotter it is. it's a combination of peppers and paprika and a little bit of salt. so it can be as hot or as mild as you want it just depending on how much creole seasoning you put. >> would you put all that in? >> i would. i love it spicy. we'll put a little rice in here. and then we have a little tomato sauce which will give it that nice red color. and then this is just a little bit of chicken broth. and then we have black pepper. and then here is the creole seasoning. and i'm going to put it all in because we like it spicy. >> don't hold back on my account. >> and a little bit of parsley here. a couple bay leaves. >> we need a bigger pan. how long will we cook this? >> you cook it for about 20 minutes, half hour. and you cook it covered. and all the ingredients will mix together and the broth will make the rice, it will moisten, it will fluff up an

. >> called the holy trinity. >> i call it that, too., so i didn't want to burn the car lick garlic so i added that after. >> that smells good. >> doesn't that smell good? the holy trinity is making it happen. okay. so then to this we're going to add white wine. and the chicken stock. >> right. >> and then will you grab those legs? is. >> okay. give me the chicken. >> not mine. >> yikes. >> friendly sarah gore. >> getting fresh in the kitchen. okay. so that's going to cook for like 20, 30 minutes. >> okay. >> and then you're going to remove the legs, and as i was doing before, you can pull the meat off. and this is cooked down. i'm just going to add this. you can break it up more, but it has one already in there. the chicken is broken farther. we're going to add two cans of beans, and fresh spinach -- >> this is a very healthy dish. >> very healthy. you could use arugula, spinach, your favorite greens. i like to add fresh parsley and then some parmesan cheese. and obviously, that shin afternoon is going to wilt quickly. and then we're go

that is not to say it is going to in any way, shape or form escape what i call the holy trinity of democraticexpansion in the muslim world which is anti-semitism, anti-americanism and anti-zionism. wherever you see democracy grow mocks muslims you are going to see those three forces gain speed. that is i think an inevitable part of this process so i think you'll certainly see that in egypt if the muslim brotherhood does reasonably well well enough to become a big factor in egyptian politics. now what that means practically is certainly the brotherhood will make a play because this is where they, all fundamentalists view this as core mores of society. they're going to make a play for personal status law. they will try to ensure that personal status law in egypt is essentially sharia bound. now, actually in many ways that won't be that great of a change in egypt since sharia law in most places is already the dominant law for all personal status. so we are not -- for a lot of folks that is not going to be a big change assuming they can get it past. i don't know if they can get through an egyptia

. >> [inaudible] it is the holy trinity. >> one of the characters who is probably talked about is tariq ramadan, the grandson of hasanni albanye. ramadan is a guy that for leases in the reswest. this is a lot of where you see tactical decisions, not something rooted in ideology. i have to do this because paul berman says this much better than i ever could. he has this exhaustive study of ramadan and he says, what is his final message with respect to terrorism? it is a message in four parts. first, he condemns terrorism. then he wants to understand terrorism, but not justify it. the third step is key to understand terrorism so tenderly that he ends up justifying it -- he understands at terrorism so tenderly that he ends up justifying it. at the fourth is that he's so supportive of it that he encourages it. that is a big part of the problem i see in a lot of this intellectual debate. when you talk about these groups and the differences they have between them, how much of it is rhetoric and for the time and occasion and how much it is that i -- how much of it is idealistic. >> i would sugg
