our neighboring countries and for us we do care a lot about it because it's very close to our own national borders and wasting contact with our turkish friends i will continue this work. you know with a news agency i have a question to both presidents it's about energy you both mentioned such an important feature as a building at the first nuclear power station in turkey. would you say that this project is irreversible now or is there any risk of its reversal the way it happened in bulgaria in my second question is also about energy. and we carry out a lot of joint projects here in turkey you've mentioned the south stream show in the future turkey is going it's developing into an energy hub but at the same time russia has both the north stream in the south stream and we have a number of other projects awaiting their implementation would you say there are any priorities and how do they actually manage what priorities are more important and which less and how did it do the all come together. or par station prospects is that said everything is happening to the schedule there have been no dela

union democratic i mean why do some people want to leave because i mean is it better to have your own nation state i think actually there is an understatement of the complexity of the situation for example it's quite clear that when poles were taken the majority of people in britain itself were totally opposed to the iraqi war and yet tony blair prime minister at that time took the country into war the same thing would apply in scotland and i think you know particularly here in ireland where we have had a conflict for about thirty forty years which to some degree still continues even this week we have had several riots in belfast with many many police men injured political offices burned dein the situation is much more complicated than people generally believe europe itself i do not think is democratic because we continually hear for example that in germany the majority of german people are not in favor of germany building a greece so we get politicians constantly overruling the people of arizona if you take for example scotland as a specific example i would suggest there that the people of

, i recount in some detail in the book, we had some real serious in fighting between president own national security team and senior people at the state department, over the whole question of what is it wise to try to broach potential peace talks with the taliban. we wound up spending 18 months fighting with one another in washington as opposed to uniting a common person to try to achieve the present school in the country. >> who is summer? >> so, she is a young american woman who come and there she is on the bottom right, who had extensive foreign development experience and put her hand up to go to afghanistan. to try to rebuild the country, to work with u.s. agency for international development. she thought she would be out there able to work with afghans, try to pursue projects that would be helpful. both the afghan people or would support the overall american strategy to try to stabilize the country. the problem was that when she got out to kabul, she was essentially a prisoner on the giant u.s. embassy compound. she couldn't get authorization to drive out and about in kabul. was restri

they were developing their own economies, their own national capacities, you know, their own military is. they're coming on line as a significant power in the 1970's, and it was under him that developed into a significant power. what's happened now is all these countries have developed. and because they have developed, they now have the ability to project power around words into the blue territorial soil that they claim. they didn't have this capacity before. so now we are seeing conflicts about islands in the geographical features that are below water and high tide that we never saw before. people say has everyone gone crazy in east asia? no, every once developed, and now they have military's command there's a conflict in -- and they've developed the navy and air force and there is this conflict and -- there's a conflict of for the geographical space. it's a battle for geographical space and not about ideas. there are no ideas involved here. this is about territory, status, national status. people fought in europe that nationalism was out of fashion that's not what i see in east asia

in this place surrounded by the statues of our own national heroes and equality, we draw inspiration from this courageous woman from a distant land. she reminds us the freedom is we enjoy are not just our birthright as americans, they are the aspirations of all men and women. defending them will always require the kind of courage she has shown throughout her long and difficult struggle. for the people of burma. there are many examples of that courage but i think my favorite took place on august 26, 1988. aung san suu kyi was about to make her very public debut with a speech to half million people at the sweatagong pagoda and someone asked if she wanted to wear a bulletproof vest. why, she ended? 5 is afraid of being killed by would never speak out against the government. it is easy to throw flaming bottles from a passing car or from behind a mask. it is easy to spray bullets from a tank at an unarmed mob. the woman we honor today shows a far more difficult task, the path of gone the, the path of martin luther king. the path of peaceful resistance, civil disobedience, for the sake of

we need to look at that in our own state and our own nation.r: that is the governor of connecticut who is going through what he has been doing today. what we learned earlier today this are many, many witnesses that still have to be questioned. some of the witnesses are the young children who survived inside the school, the connecticut police told me early today that this is absolutely essential to talk to the young boys and girls, to paint a picture and get a full idea of what happened. the school behind me is a crime scene until further notice and it is not dealer when the school will open up again or even if it will. you her the governor say that first responders saved likes. we told through local police that the sirens that the gunman heard while he was need the school forced him to pull the trigger on himself earlier than he expected leaving hundreds of rounds of ammunition unused in that school building. we talked about a lot of things the last few days and one is mental health and the she back in the spot light not just those of shooter b

my sense is we are not, and we need to look at that within our oun state and within our own nation.ally, do i think washington, d.c., needs to get its act together and enact stricter gun control laws at the federal level? you bet i do. i'm confident, especially after hearing the president, his address today, that perhaps -- and by the way the comments of our own connecticut delegation, that perhaps this debate will be renewed in washington and lead to a different result, one other than the result that allowed the weapons -- assault weapons ban to have expired. the public policy debate is already playing out at the national level, and if connecticut or i can be a voice of assistance in that matter, we are as connecticut citizens, i as the governor, prepared to enter that debate as well. but my focus right now is on helping our community and our state get through this very terrible and difficult time. i said there were some announcements so i will make those now. first, offers of financial assistance, generous offers, are literally pouring into connecticut. i have asked my staff to pu

my sense is we are not, and we need to look within our own state, within our own nation. >> as detailst suspected shooter adam lanza, connecticut governor dan malloy is calling for a broad response that improves mental health services with more stringent gun laws. for some on the right mental health is -- >> don't think this tha this country has addressed the mental health issue. >> that may be true, but according to the medical journal the lancet less than 3% to 5% of all crimes in this country involve people suffering from mental illness. yet, quote, "ironically, the question of whether the insane should be allowed to bear arms becomes the only publicly permissible way to talk about questions of gun control. meanwhile, a host of other narratives, such as the mass psychology of needing so many guns in the first place or the anxieties created by being surrounded by them remain oft unspoken. joining me now is former white house advisor on health policy dr. zeek emmanuel. dr. emmanuel, it is always great to see you. thanks for joining us. >> hi, alex. nice to be here. >> so, zeek, let's
