administrative. rossley in practice. you know the united states. the russian were supplying. nuclear technology to the bush administration it's a great point and really it's posture and really quickly robert i'm curious about a double standard in congress because earlier we heard a florida lawmaker in a hearing today criticize cuba as a sponsor of terrorism when criticizing the u.n. but killing for its report showed off light and helped free a terrorist responsible for the bombing of a cuban airliner that killed seventy three people is there a double standard in congress who certainly rossley you know this is or her track record of yours her definition of terrorists people just like. there's your point you know when it comes to cuban exiles using terrorism you can go to that's not terrorism that's worked on for years all right i want to thank you for going back and forth with me on those many interesting issues coming out of congress in dealing with the united nations today that was robert naiman director of just foreign policy that up going to do it for now for more on the st

was going to hurt our existence in the region so it's in the best interest of the obama administration and the united states of america to find new allies in these movements because these are genes these are autocratic regimes that been ruling these countries for over two hundred years not going to sustain in their current status matthew looked like you were going there for a second to hand go ahead. yeah i mean steven hussein have both clarified that that what they want to stop i mean first of all it might have still be a double standard relative to what we're doing in libya so that's the talking point here. but more importantly i mean i'm not sure exactly is going on inside the administration what i would guess though is is sort of nirvana iteration is sort of holding those cards things are bad in bahrain they're bad in saudi arabia but they could get a lot worse and so maybe the obama administration wants to maintain the ability to exercise that soft power in the future and i hate once again to be sort of the like the cynical skunk here but i mean democratic movements haven't worked out for the u.

that were changed in egypt and other conscious they were quite quiet all to the united states but no obama's administration was fulfilled even more pliant regimes and this many countries including russia including china first of all they feel that their interests are being threatened because of these. will be more of the united states and are not likely to fulfill. all the little things to talk about policy of china towards you know the whole situation china has always advocated not involved in policy but what we see now is a general change of china's policy shyly. he's going to play a more active role and as we see americans trying to remove chinese compete issue through many regions of the south asia middle east and africa a lot of africa but also central african resources so china has quite a lot of options to control first of all of course. china is the major creditor of the united states and today the financial rating for a few days was changed and changed so i guess china has quite a lot of levers still situation both economic and political. journalists asked and the says libya is not the only area w

egypt and how the contras they were quite quiet or world to the united states but no bombers administration wants to feel even more pliant regimes and this striation many countries including russia including china if it's true they feel the interest are being threatened because of these are going to be more a world of the united states and are not likely to fulfill. all the commitments to talk about policy of china towards the whole situation china has always advocated noninvolvement policy but what we see now is a general change of china's policy china is going to play a more active role and as we see now americans are trying to remove chinese competition for mainly regions of the rules south asia middle east and africa not all the north africa but also central african region resources so china has quite a lot of options to. first of all of course march she was from china china is the major creditor of the united states and today the financial rating of elected states was changed has been changed so i guess that china for this quite a lot of levers still painful the situation both economic

administration. india, really elevated the relossship between the united states and india. >> charlie: first they did it with -- >> exactly. so tom friedman has called this sort of containment light strategy. in other words really enhancing relationships with the countries and circling china. what happened on the policy on china took a u turn halfw through. obama like every president came in and said ohe'regoing to fix this relationship. we're not going to be as rocky, we're not going to be as confrontational with china. and what his china advisorsznód me was that that was interpreted by the chinese as weakness. and it's very important moment about halfway in when hillary clinton does a speech in hanoi and it's an obscure issue of the south china sea. and she makes a very big speech and says the united states has ro in the south china s.t%o this is a big deal to the chinese. since then our policy with china has been more confrontational. of the example of how your view of the world never survives the actual reality of president. >> charlie: what is it actually. you lay it out and you quote a lot of

fortunately in egypt and other countries that were quite quiet or world to the united states but now obama's administration wants to feel even more plant regimes and this striation many countries including russia including china first of all they feel very interest are being threatened because of these are going to be more loyal to the united states and i'm not likely to fulfill. all the political ads to talk about policy of china towards the whole situation china has always advocated no involvement policy but what we see now is a general change of china's policy china is going to play a more active role and as we've seen are americans trying to. remove chinese competition from regions of south asia. east and africa and africa bottles of central african nations region resources. china has quite a lot of options. and. of course. charlie china is the major creditor of the united states and today their financial rating for a few lighted states was chain has been changed so i guess that is quite a lot of lever storm drain field situation both economic and political. he says libya is not the only area where bei

deserves a badly in the united states around the bush administration it reflects badly actually both in the bush administration and the obama administration because yes i'm going to use and this is the bit his very first promise when he. when he started office in january of two thousand and nine you know he said he would close guantanamo and now in the last month he signed an all into you know you know basically allowing these men to be held indefinitely so he has failed at the. that promise and many other promises. and there are reasons why he cannot actually live on that but i think he's moving on to the next election it's incredible and you think as a cost issue a scholar i mean this is the six seven paid the men's with solution and. we're out of time i'm sorry thanks so much for being with us through appreciate it and your insights mr wiki leaks don't just confirms what we all suspected isn't working and it's time for republicans in congress to stop sabotaging any efforts including those of the president to close it down. it's time for our daily poll your chance to tell us what y

frightening and it's scary but it doesn't represent an existential threat to the united states and so what the obama administration has done is really use a hammer in these operations when they probably called for a scalpel and the reality is that there are really only by most estimates three hundred to six hundred who are members of al qaeda in the arabian peninsula so defense analysts that i've talked to people with from within the cia that the way and the special operations community all question the wisdom of approaching yemen strictly through a military strategy the fact is this is the poorest country in the arab world it's going to actually run out of water in the near future much of the country is choose this drug caught there is very little opportunity for employment and so instead of the on the targeted killings some would say that the united states has an obligation to try to support the building up of civil society in yemen or some of the intelligence committee call that draining the swamp taking away his reason for being there the fact is that ali abdullah saleh corruption his relationship with the u.s

john is the united school district's facilities management. city administrator ed lee. louis kenselle, start. can we have everyone take their seats? this is like herding cats. >> good afternoon, everyone. i am the executive director of maintenance and operations for the school district. my job right now is to introduce our next speaker, who has a familiar face for those of you who have lived here in the area for a while. he anchored the news on channel 4 back in the turbulent 1970's. [applause] he co hosted with his wife "a.m. san francisco," the morning talk show on kgo tv channel 7 in the 1980's. in the 1990's, he anchored the weekly syndicated show "silicon valley business this week." today, he comes to us not as a tv broadcaster, but as a homeowner and a business operator in san francisco for 30 years. he has gotten involved in many firsthand experiences with graffiti in his neighborhood over the years. i asked him if he would help us out today by showing us how all san franciscans can get involved in defeating graffiti. dpw's public information office provided fred

no statement by the administration that clearly asks bahrain to adopt reforms, to call for meaningful change in that country. >> woodruff: is it a lack of information that the unitedhas, brian katulis? i mean what, how-- i mean on the face of it how does the administration explain this? >> well, look, i think they've been pretty clear. they're not hypocritical. they say that essentially they don't use this language but they say there are two different standards being applied here. in mid-march secretary of defense, robert gates, went to bahrain and actually called for political openingses and political reform. less than 24 hours later saudi troops and emirati police entered to crush this peaceful democratic protest. and the saudi role in all of this, not only in bahrain, but in places even like syria and especially yemen, i think it's telling to me that tom done olin the national security advisor through to riyadh. >> woodruff: just a few days ago. >> to talk with him because ever since hosni mubarak stepped down in egypt and the saudies were quite vocal in their displeasure with how the united states handled it, i disagree with the saudi criticism, but i think th

little punishment when we're when we're not punished before trial obama and this this administration showing the united states to be essentially a hypocrite and p.j. crowley critical and that's one reason he left he knew this would undermine our image in the world and if you think about this in light of so many other things that one grab scandal torture going on while it widespread war reports from the from the red cross on torture in afghanistan reports recently there have been not couple united states of four thousand pictures of u.s. soldiers posing with afghan civilians have been killed this is really embarrassing and american people don't know the worst of it as a mission there four thousand those four dozen pictures are barely been discussed in the u.s. media and yet the rest of the world knows very well about the afghanis know very well about it so this is quite embarrassing knows that it's not their president obama you know puts his actions were where it was he campaigned saying he was in favor the rule of law he was in favor of transparency in his administration be different from president bus

regard to renewables look at the just the latest report from the energy information administration here in the united states the estimated natural gas fired electricity is about the cheapest form of power production and about sixty three dollars per megawatt hour on shore wind generated electricity cost fifty percent more offshore wind cost four times as much and and solar thermal cost five times as much this idea that renewables are cheaper than conventional for forms of electricity generation is just simply not true further even if it were on par they're not dispatchable the reality is we need electric sources electricity generation sources that we can turn on and off that's what gives them value having them be intermittent and highly variable gives them of a real world value of a centrally zero so that but i think peter just to direct a conversation if i could one idea i think the bigger problem for nuclear going forward is the issue of global cooperation with regard to the fuel cycle this is regard it addresses the issue of proliferation one of the first responders after fukushima was the interna

>> well, first, it was important in this administration that we make clear that the united states is pacific and an atlantic power. and i made my first trip very shortly after becoming secretary of state to asia with that message. understandably, the prior administration had been very focused on iraq and afghanistan and pakistan and there was a feeling by a number of leaders and influential people in the region that the united states was receding from asia. and that was never a decision. that was never intended, but we needed to make that very clear. so we've done things that-- they're not going to get maybe headlines in the newspapers here at home, but joining the treaty of an mimt and cooperation with the southeast asian nations which no administration had done but sent a very strong signal. we are part of the pacific world. we have a history here. and we're going to stay involved joining in the east asian summit another multilateral organization. so our-- our goal was to make make it absolutely indisputable that the united states has interests and we have alliances and partnership

ground forces into libya yet another war that the obama administration has had mercy united states and we may see more white house control over pentagon policy as a result of what about betray us you know on one hand he's highly respected highly esteemed for his work in iraq and afghanistan and he doesn't criticize the cia for some of the holes in the operation sometimes disorganization miscommunications i would think president obama was thinking by putting general petraeus in this role well to trace is only highly thought of by people like john mccain and joe lieberman he's the neo-cons guy i mean he's a he's a war hawk he he was responsible for the surges in iraq in afghanistan some people . say that resulted in a lot more u.s. military deaths as well as civilian deaths so what we have with petraeus is yet another military person after bush put general michael hayden over at the cia after he was deputy director of national intelligence and n.s.a. director at the cia as a civilian institution and this is yet another move to militarize the key u.s. intelligence agency and many people a

that has not been discussed in the united states and let me point out one thing his administration does not call libya a war it says it's a kinetic action it's a limp time limited objective to try to commit to a save people's lives they do not think of this is a war in fact they don't even use the word regime change even though the president has said and objective is to get khadafi out of power so they would not even acknowledge that this is a war ok because i'm going to you in london is that a lot of newspeak i mean this is a war if you look what's going on on the ground it's a war and i don't care if the american media doesn't want to call it out of the american white house it's a war and this is a man that was given a nobel peace prize. it is a war he was given the nobel peace prize where the nobel committee knew full well that in his election campaign he had said he is going to escalate the war in afghanistan which he has he has had more some pakistan. ordered in fact more drone attacks under obama bin in the eight previous years of the bush administration so the new wall that he wa

united states. the president has called for gadhafi to step down and in favor of a government that is more reprentative of the libyan people. however, administration officials have also said that gadhafi, himself, is not a target, and that the unit states is not pursuing regime change, but then reuters reported yesterday afternoon that the president had signed a quote secret order recognizing covert u.s. support for rebel forces seeking to ousthe libyan leader and the president said that the objective was to steady pressure, but not military and also through the other means to force gadhafi out, end quote. so mr. deputy secretary, which is it? at is our objective? further, what are the contingency plans if gadhafi is able to cling to power? would a political agreement that left gadhafi in power be an acceptable outcome? what are the implications for libya, for the region and for the united states if the civil war reaches a stalemate? when referring to libyan opposition, is the president referring to armed rebels, to members of the transitional council or to both? and what do we know about the armed forces? what do we know about the memberof the tr

unit one remained in operation. >>> the obama administration denied reports that it has allowed bp to resume drilling in the gulf of mexico. it's been almost a year now since that deadly oil rig exploded. and bp needs approval from the federal government to start drilling at ten existing wells. a commission found bp along with transocean and haliburton were to blame. >>> good evening a ridge of high pressure in place. offshore flow and we had warm temperatures this afternoon. but we're starting to see some changes as this ridge here begins to we cannen. it's going to be pushed aside by a system that will bring us clouds, cooler conditions but no rain with this one. by the afternoon we are expecting cloudy conditions by your tuesday as we roll through midweek, we are going to see a decline in temperatures. 40s to possibly low 50-degrees is what we're looking at. your noontime numbers upper 50s low 60s. so again, this is the beginning of a dramatic cool down. the rain expected to come with that cooler air, that coming up at 10:45. >>> the california highway patrol started a first of its
