while we are here to discuss the united nations, around the world, the united nations has launched an initiative called, "turn the world u.n. blue." the state building is washed in blue lights, the great wall of china, the egyptian pyramid. there is a festive party atmosphere to celebrate this. to move on, i am very pleased that we have distinguished speakers. we will begin with slauson juror -- schleschinger, a prominent author. he is a lawyer by training and a journalist. he edited the book of his father, arthur. a great pleasure to introduce you. thank you. >> thank you for the nice introduction and having me at this occasion. i am delighted to be honoring the institution of united nations on the anniversary. it is remarkable. member the league of nations only lasted 20 years and most alliances have short shelf lives. for a modern day security organization like the united nations to be around for seven decades is an extraordinary accomplishment and we oh the survival to the man whose library we are visiting today, franklin roosevelt. he single-handedly brought the organization into

tankers from the united states unload their liquid cargo.re are emergency facilities for offloading. from the central point, the pipeline goes underground. then across france, and ultimately underneath the line going to link up with nato pipelines which lead into holland, belgium, and west germany. comz's pipeline network saves the united states government millions of dollars each year and commercial storage charges. it moves petroleum products to 1/10 the cost of shipment by rail or water. so effective is this pipeline system that it is able to meet all the requirements of both the united states army and air force , as well as supplying canadian and german lines in europe. and cities of western europe i found yet another aspect of comz 's supply mission. from busy ports such as this one in germany. construction machinery, tanks, armored personnel carrier. the equipment is loaded onto river barges. this presents at times an interesting contract, the modern weapons of the army testing the ancient vessels of another era. >> to handle the deser

been dismayed to in this country and the united states, the united nations is a target to be diminished or attacked. the u.n. bashing, i sometimes call it, is a popular sport with politicians. it is not entirely new. there was a right wing that oppose this. the fringe moved towards the center, which i regret. supportd need public and awareness to have the successful united nations and we would hope to achieve this. that and it isnd a place where everybody comes and meets. diplomacy and he knew how important it was. he would still be a believer and , he wase next 70 years visionary to be more efficient and do something about the veto to be effective. best weto make it the can possibly be in the interest of all. thank you very much. host: i thought i would ask steve to react to some of the on how she saw the reaction and one of them was nationsviews the united as a security body, a global police force. he was adamant that this would role.essential how would he evaluate the success of united nations in this area? been would have disappointed by the cold war. was, basically, stymie any acti

but even he looked to the united states. he placed great faith in president truman to help iran resist british influence and british imperialism really during the oil crisis of the 1950s. he hoped that the united states would back iran's claims to sovereignty and control of its own oil. and that worked for a while, but unfortunately as iran became more and more unstable ultimately the united states backed its ally, britain, rather than iran. >> so, mosaddeq falls, how does the shah emerge in 1953 out of this crisis? >> well, 1953 is a huge trauma for iran. after a three-year battle between britain and iran for control over iranian oil, iran is able to nationalize its oil industry. iranian oil finally belongs to the iranians. but it comes at a price. britain and the united states work together covertly to overthrow mosaddeq's government. britain because they fear the consequences of allowing mosaddeq to stay in power not just for their interests in iran but throughout their whole empire. and the united states because they fea

prisoner swap between united states and iran. the new year has delivered a new dawn to the historically tense relationship between the united states and iran. over the weekend the united nations confirmed that iran is implementing its end of an agreement concluded last summer with the united states and six other world powers by dismantling much of its controversial nuclear program. in response, the united states and the european union have now lifted crippling hurries. enemies of iran that betray allies like israel. to counter that argument over the weekend, at the same time he was lifting the sanction he on iran's nuclear program, president obama announced influence largely toothless sanctions on iran's program for ballistic missiles. despite the mixed messages, both sides managed to agree to a prisoner swap over the weekend. the deal involved four citizens release, including washington post reporter jason rezaian. another american detained in december was also released, in exchange the united states freed seven iranian american

united states is a democracy. you can see the politics.all our arab allies, saudi arabia, egypt, jordon, you don't see any politics. it's a entirely dictatoria almo l system. is that a good thing? >> we have managed politics or stage managed politics. it's going to be an election. the candidates have been selected in advance. i'm not sure if that is real politics. the supreme leader ultimately was the person who had to give his assent to the deal. he renegotiated a part of the deal. you have what you might call the illusion of participatory politics. you have a variety of dictorarial systems. much to see possibilities of hope. go to dubai and compare that to what's happening just across the water in the persian gulf. it's a much more open society. for better or worse we're saddled or wedded to the alliances that we have. we betray those strategically from realist perspective at our own peril. how badly do we want to push a already shaky monarchy into the wrong direction. we have an interest in making sure that our allies understand we're g

embassies for entry into the united states. and the state department gives these em bas eyes and u.s. officials abroad pretty wide latitude to approve those applications and to get those applications going. so it's a program that-- is actually very proud of because it sends, or it is basically exporting their medical professionals abroad to help in places that really need it. they also earn money from doing that. so they certainly, the cuban government certainly saw it as a pretty big slap in the face. >> sreenivasan: i remember hearing about how many cuban doctors were there in africa to treat ebola. almost every natural disaster that happens around the world, you always hear of a large number of cuban doctors that are there. >> yeah, that's right. the cuban doctors are known for bringing being skillful medical proaksals and something the cubans are proud of. so sort of poaching them away into the united states was one of the many thorns in the side, in that relationship both for cuban-- cuba and among many that are throrns in

and united nations organization. ifwas very careful because anyone knew we were involved in that it such a charter might defeat the whole idea. it began in 1938 and 1939, when he gave that division to the state department. the two closest wartime allies where winston churchill of great britain and josef stalin of the soviet union. churchill was first lukewarm about the u.n. he had an idea of small regional u.n.s rather than a central body. joseph stalin is another major ally. he felt it could be used against him. he had fears about it. eventually, a number of wartime to arences, they agreed meeting in san francisco in june -- in april of 1945. the notion of the u.n. in 1945, it is the most powerful country on the earth after the second world war. we don't need a primitive security facility. he had a longer vision. he knew after the catastrophe of two world wars within a 20-year span, a war which killed 90 million people together, the u.n. security could not be a matter of a fortress usa. we needed allies. if there is

, and added 44 units with 100'.t i like. thank you. >> thank you. so i have a couple of questions, additional questions and one of them is another point that stuck with me, because as i say, i drive through transbay often. more properly said i avoid driving through transbay often. tell me about traffic impacts? i know it was studied in the eir. one of my pet peeves it seems like projects are going up at every third corner of san francisco, and there is no rhyme or reason to it, as though nobody is talking to anybody. so i wonder what authority we have, given transbay is under our jurisdiction to either elicit support from the developers that we deal with, their general contractors, when they are building to talk about some sort of comprehensive tract mitigation or coordination plan? because i do think the traffic impacts are construction-related. at least we have been assured it's not a forever conversation. i mean, i'm assuming these traffic impacts are going to minimize at some point? is that something that we as

develop the luxury units and sure there maybe creation of housing units but does it balance there is push and less community input and controls we have no say in this matter and that's because that will f 16th street and mission this project was property housing could you please state your name for the record, please saw a flood of people pushed out and luxury towers in one spot it is an incentive to cashier out and it raise prices i want to talk about the rent-controlled units and anyone existing housing is urban acceptable we'll not support it what will you do with people that will displaced are you hoping they'll stick around 3 years until the units are built and finally they have a lot of affordable housing section 8 in potrero hill and western edition are you going to tear down the shiny new towers we've not been involved in the planning of the creation of this plan then in terms of your definition of affordability we don't know they make sense the price of units is out of reach you are required to build 12 percent affordable housing and you're saying we'll give you a few more u

the price the united states will pay is the release of iranian prisoners being held here in the unitedstates over the past several months when we have discussed the possibility of a swap. many members have said, yes, we want the americans home, the pastor, the journalist, the marine, all of them to come home. they are reluctant to give up iranian prisoners saying this merely encourages more americans being taken down the road to be used for prisoner swaps. you have heard that argument imtimi many times, i'm sure. >> we were together on tuesday night for the state of the union address. the fact that at that moment, ten united states sailors were being held by the iranians was a focal point of debate. many republicans believe that the president should have said something in his remarks that night about that situation and by the following day, they had been released. then, thursday night in the republican debate, senator cruz whom you just referred to went out of his way on the first question posed to him to make reference to the photograph that showed the ten sailors on their knees and w

if you felt this way about the united states. he did think that war with united states was inevitable in the best defense was a good offense. he returned to canada and director of the military operations and intelligence and begin to give the whole thing real thought in 1920. it was good reason to think a war between united states and great britain was inevitable. we loaned the u.k. a huge sum for their war effort. $22 billion. the secret communique from the american ambassador in 1920 relate irritation that we expected it to be repaid in cash or gold. britain was nervous about us becoming too serious a rival and would block us at every turn and surround us with potential enemies. buster brown rounded up a few colleagues and did some undercover espionage. there they are undercover. they loaded up with some bounties into a model t and surveyed the roads and bridges. some fieldnotes are hilarious. the people of burlington, vermont seem very affable and not as american as other u.s. cities. in rural vermont he noted americans had a

it's the seedy underbelly of the united nations effort in haiti. nearly six years after an earthquake rocked the country, i'm ali velshi, welcome to a special edition of "on target," haiti on shaky ground. the united nations can be a blessing and occurs but for latte, the western hemisphere's poorest country it's been both. six years ago haiti was devastated by a massive earthquake. its worst natural disaster in more than two centuries. millions of haitians, looked to the united nations for help. the u.n. set up temporary housing for thousands of residents. it built schools, hospitals and sanitation systems. and the u.n. currently maintains a $380 million annual budget to pay for its peace keeping force in haiti. that pays for more than the 6,000 u.n. soldiers tasked with upholding public security. but the u.n. effort may have also made some things worse. many blame u.n. peace keepers with a cholera epidemic that has left thousands dead. dogged by allegations of sexual abuse and coalitio exploitation of haitian women. we hold u.n. to account. david

the united states has dropped charges, offered clemency against seven iranians held in the united states for violating sanctions against iran. the u.s. has also dropped extradition requests, charges against 14 other iranians the state department deemed unlikely to be extradited to the united states in the first place. the iranians wanted a goodwill gesture, gave the u.s. a list of iranians they wanted released. the u.s. rejected anyone accused of violence or terrorism. joining us now is our global affairs correspondent, elise labott has been doing a lot of reporting on this. as a result of that last demand by the united states, no one accused of terrorism or violence, per se, the individual responsible for that assassination plot against the saudi ambassador to the united states at a restaurant here in washington, the saudi ambassador, that individual, others involved in that assassination plot, they will remain in u.s. jails, right? >> reporter: that's correct, wolf. u.s. officials say the iranians originally gave a much fuller list, a longer list of names, but the u.s. said they ruled

martha: united states. ann: the united states government, exactly. as do all countries. now of course in the case of syria most syrians are not here in the united states yet. they're getting degrees in turkey and places like that, jordan. then it becomes jordan and turkey and greece's responsibility if they're signatories to that protowol to not repatriate those migrants, those refugees. now dodos that mean that they can actually take on all those cases themselves? jordan certainly can't. i don't think the other countries world has to step in. lynda: right, i mean the fact of the matter is in terms of especially refugee flows where it's just helter-skelter people leaving quickly, they often go to immediately to neighboring states which may be just about as bad shape as they are. they're often areas with a lot of strife and political instabity and they've already got problems of their own, and then they're overwhelmed by . i mean jordan is a small country and they'reverwhelmed by the sheer numbers. then these people for the most part they're put in refugee mps in lots of

it's not the united states military. the united states military would provide a certain level f support. enemy combatants should be pursued aggressively and ruthlessly. destroy and defeat radical islamic sanctuaries, sanctuaries are safe havens by themselves, protract the conflict and drive up the casualties. syria is a sanctuary. pakistan for 14 years has provided two sanctuaries and has unnecessarily protracted hat war. as to iran, in 1980 iran declared the united states as a strategic enemy with its stated goal to drive the united states out of the region, achieve regional hegemony, and destroy the state of israel. it uses proxies, primarily as the world's number one state sponsoring terrorism, and to fight proxy wars. beginning in the early 1980's, it began jihad against the united states by bombing the marine barracks, united states embassy, and the annex in lebanon, something our ambassadors intimately familiar with, united states embassy in kuwait, the air force towers in saudi arabia, and attacking the united sta

is a critical component of the united states' rebalance toward the region. advancing american leadership in the largest emerging market in the world. the fact is that the work that we have done over the past few years has set the course, i believe, for progress in every corner of the globe. in africa, we are working with local partners to train the leaders of tomorrow, to increase access to electricity, to improve food security, to deal with debilitating conflicts. we have special envoys to the great lakes area, to sudan, working in somalia, elsewhere, all of these we are engaged in, pushing back against boko haram, pushing back against al-shabab, and might i say, making progress. ensuring our success. an example of that is what we did with the ebola crisis. a million people were predicted to die by christmas of a year ago. but they didn't. we stepped in and thanks to the courageous efforts of our united states military and the president's decision to send several thousand of them there, we built the platform from which we were able to build the response. an
