clearly that the political resolution to the future of libya must be based on a strong and very clear roadmap which brings people together from both east and west of the country that unites the tribes of libya different families the different factions brings them together in a process which allows them to choose their. own transitional authority a transitional authority that. will design a new constitution will design a process leading up to it to an election of course in this process there is really no place for colonel qaddafi and i hope that he will understand quite soon unfortunately he doesn't seem to have a boost of until now that the. the staying on continuing to stay in the position that he has now is not just unattainable for him in the long run but it is beginning to damage very much the libyan people i hope that you know we will see also an increased international effort to address the humanitarian situation both on the side of the. in places like misrata up to what it's very severe but also increasingly in tripoli as well we hear more and more reports from our people

here's here's just a very quick list we have a an international nonproliferation regime which over the last ten years has faced very stiff opposition and has in some parts been weak and this is a substantial international problem today ballistic missile technology is much more accessible. than ten twenty thirty years ago and you have a number of radical groups and ideologies that aim at acquiring such weapons and this is this is the combination of these three factors if you had a number of countries that are quite unstable as we speak as well this threat becomes very important so what is important for us within nato and russia is to find ways in which we can work together to jointly together protect ourselves against such a threat and some of the proposals that have been made is to start again with a very practical approach on setting up a mechanism setting up a center that would exchange information that would builds trust between military people political leaders so that when you have such a center which allows for the nato missile defense system and the russian missile defense syste

expensive to come to russia on a student budget. very i mean if you can a combination of both growth and the visa itself of course is this is the most who continues to be a very exclusive city for us the most the most expensive so i don't think it is the number one. no i don't think it's the britain as it's number three according to the ratings by a number three it used to be number one and it was there but you know if you're tourists in the heat of london that's not going to go kill yeah you know someone who the funny thing is that the russian primate when we first heard that the most he was the most expensive thing he was like oh that's a great achievement if we were the first in space and with. the booze the expensive things hundred. is there who actually and said that this three year visa is very good itself i mean he said something like enough is enough but i saw one in the. so your point of view do you think we can we can expect a visa free regime with the states in our lifetime because because i think i feel that that we are movin

they've got to make sure we have a very integrated education system. that will be a key for many years to come. they tell us in no uncertain terms that they come here because these are the best minds. if they have marginal engineers , just being here makes those engineers better when they are interacting with better engineers in the city. they told me about that as well. i think there are many ways to attract businesses. i know that will be a key to any strategy to have a continued educated work force. >> you know better than anybody where the bodies are buried. you have been a city administrator, fraud investigator. there been 10% cuts with another 10% contingency. all of the fat has been cut in previous years. where would you cut? where could the city save some money? >> my very first job was the whistle-blower investigator under the mayor. some people believe there is some truth to why i have accelerated in of my jobs needed because i know where all the skeletons are. i think the secret to our budget -- we are scraping to the bone. it will be a combi

a year very disappointed because it will be left of. christmas and when you. come one is never going. to mistake that we may see that. lifted within. a day but but soon and maybe that's by the end of this year the administration has made it very clear this administration which is the third administration consecutive leave it is that his pledge to remove jacksonville record making efforts necessary to get congress to do that i think that this year it will do so it has publicly said that it supports it and when vice president biden was here in moscow in march he said that he personally would be leading the administration's efforts in congress to get it lifted. and it's both because that war is no longer relevant it's an anachronism and i think out of respect for our own legal traditions we should remove laws for the books that are no longer valid but also because it has a very will have or would have a very material impact on american business interests. when russia gets into the w.t. you know if we haven't lifted it we could be told that we fully mean joining th

as we talked about beforehand together, i think it is a very slippery slope. we need to be really careful on this board about introducing legislation in someone else's district. i know there are issues like treasure island that amount to a citywide issues. everyone will have their opinion. but this is about one building, one story of one building. where does it stop? if i do not like bill looks up the door in your district, am i going to introduce legislation? it becomes a poster child of why we do not need district elections. that is inappropriate. it is a slippery slope and we need to think about that as a board. this is a different vision of how we will do housing in our neighborhood. quite frankly, i do not care if it is affordable housing. to me, the 55 foot project is literally telling the neighbors , this is the produce, take-it- or-leave-it. we will not listen to your concerns. you have to take exactly what we give you. i had a different vision. i want to listen to my neighbors. i think we should all do that as supervisors. if we bring affordable housin

it's a very personal story. this story has been growing since i was a little girl and was born with the nappiest hair in my family. and i was teaching at harvard a course in oral poetry, and i just recorded it to share with the class. i had, actually, no intention of making this children's book out of it. but i shared it with an african-american audience. they loved it so much, i decided to go for a children's book because of popular demand. so you could imagine how surprising it was to have it-- have somebody disagree with it and telling me-- i was told, you know, that i sold my race down the river and that sort of thing. but the actual-- what happened, i was teaching in california. i was looking at television or something in the evening and got a phone call. this voice: "hello, are you carolivia herron?" the same sort of thing; "yes." "and did you write this book called nappy hair?" and the same sort of, "oh, boy, what's coming up next?" you know, some invitation to do this. "yes." "did you hear what happened?"

if the company is very successful at a very, very high level of profit. so what happens in a situation where a very successful technology goes public is everyone who's gotten stock options suddenly makes a lot of money exercising those stock options. what happens is the company they're paying 1 1/2% on their employees' profit. and everybody else who has gotten those stock options profit. that could be, we estimate for twitter and the central market report, tens of millions of dollars. that tens of millions are still 1 1/2% of what all of the stock option recipients are making but from the company's point of view, in particularly a company looking at san francisco location where we taxed that, versus a brings bane or south san francisco location where they don't tax at all, it can be a very big difference. but specifically during that

special items into space with them i'll be a very few items pictures of loved ones and so on to also be able to talk with their families every day that we've talked to the backup team they're very excited to watch this they say that it's something it's an amazing emotional thing to watch let's check it out. loud what it's like first just shock tremendously you can really sense the power in that as it as it took off what we experienced southwest it will take them about eight minutes to hit orbit around the earth two days to dock now to premed when they get there will be undertaking over forty scientific experiments among them cancer research and the ability to actually grow food in space. where up to date now from the news desk dimitris here with the business stay with us. thanks so much unease russia's efforts to cope with the headline inflation i use for it at least the world bank has lowered its forecast for consumer price growth in the country now sees inflation as about eight percent this year however it's too early to celebrate because the bank still

loving father, a very proud man, a very insecure man. and the camera circles around him and kind goes inside his sense of himself. and also in i way that you rarely see in movies, goes inside of consciousness of the child, of the son. i don't think i have ever seen a movie that so delicately and precisely conveyed the changing perception of childhood. so you are actually watching over a span of years, that is the span of about an hour and 15 minutes, a kid grow up and come into awareness of the worl and people around him right before your eyes it is done with music and with this editing sche where just the images flow into one another. >> rose: let's talk about super8. >> it's 1979, the middle of ohio in a small town. and there are a bunch of kidses who are making a zombie movie. a bunch of gung ho movie kids like spielberg or jj abrams who produced it when they were kids, they worked with super8. this is the beginning of art and the beginning of commercial cinema. and while they are totally obsessed, you know, at secretly making this fi

if you read dreams of my father he does a very good job to identify many influences but doesn't talk much about his education, this shaping experiences of the steadying american history. i spent a lot of time with people who taught him, worked with him in chicago, basically piece together the story of how he came to see the world as he does and explains it in "the audacity of hope" and dreams of my father. there are several themes one is a distant -- distance between universalism and the assumption their principles that is time was the two the distance between their confidence and the concern that arises in the late 20th century that all principals are particular to individual nations, cultures, time, pla ce, the tension between universalism and particularism or anti-foundation is one of the principles and issues discussed in the book because obama's is drawn in both directions and it is part of what makes him interesting figure. the second is his use of american history. he was accustomed to dealing with the constitution and he has written if it has affected the ratings of the fellow

and in part because it's very expensive to come to russia on a student budget. very i mean the flight crew or the combination of both both and the visa itself of course is so so so mostly continues to be a very expensive city for us the most the most expensive so i don't think you did it all but one still look no i don't think it's going to recommence it's number three according to ratings by a number three it used to be number one and it was that was for tourists way to london to london to go kill yeah yes well the funny thing is that the russians primate when we first heard that the mosque was the most expensive city wasn't oh that's that's a great achievement you were the first in the space and with. the brits the bill is the most expensive cities hundred. is there well actually it's said that this three year visa is very good i mean he said something like enough is enough but i saw one of the. so your point of view do you think we can we can expect a visa free regime with the states in our lifetime because because i think i feel that that we are moving to the

happy ending or a sort of happy ending and in fact in some places you're seeing very unhappy middles and probably even less happy endings so in syria we see you know a thousand people killed so far in libya thousands of people killed so far most of them probably after nato intervened in that conflict in yemen we see an incipient civil war in bahrain we see an uprising that was really an ethnic uprising we see it absolutely brutally crushed with intervention from saudi arabia so i don't really understand where omar is seeing all of these very happy or sort of happy endings we're seeing repression we're seeing increased ethnic hostility now look of course i would love. to see democratization in countries that want to be democracies but the question is how you get there and you don't get there as the u.s. and nato have done it in libya by intervening militarily and you don't there get there as some folks have tried by trying to get revolutions overnight an ethnically divided society in bahrain the sunni power holders are not going to give power up overnight to the shiites and similarly

but i think that's why we said it was a very efficiently design policy. it is focused on very few number of companies who have a very, very big tax differential between san francisco and nearby locations. it is not trying to -- this particular legislation is not trying to reduce the tax payment of every company that goes public. particularly as it's been amended. >> in terms of the benefit, there have been a number of companies that were based in san francisco, publicly traded technology company that's have left. that does happen. we found 43 of them and in almost every case they left within a few years of their i.p.o. we don't know how many left because of the payroll tax and it certainly is there is true that those who left didn't necessarily owe more than those that stayed. i was looking for that. i wanted to say the ones that stayed paid little in stock options and the one that left would have paid a lot? it doesn't work that way. but i think it is fair to say the bigger your risk of paying -- the bigger your payroll tax payment associated with stock o

he was a story teller, and he was very successful. as we enter into the era of ronald reagan and flexner's biography has turned into a mini serious on television with barry bostwick and reagan is talking about george washington, a whole new era of george washington mythology begins. and a whole new era of founding father mythology begins. the founders are very popular now, and george washington is very popular now. and i'm going to end on this. washington is renowned, as he should be, in exhibits such as this one at mount vernon. and mount vernon's new visitors center and orientation center, educational center is absolutely amazing. if you haven't been there, you need to go. they do a wonderful job of making washington again into a living, breathing human being who lived an action-filled life, who had all kinds of exciting things, who can still continue to be a leader and be authentic at the same time. but around this george washington, this man on horseback, this man of character still swirl dozens and hundreds and thousands of myths

>> well, i think that, as i said, we're a very modern fairy tale. i don't know whether that we'd ever get back together in a marriage because i don't think that probably anyone would want me hanging around. but i think -- >> well, the other members of the royal family, most of them may have that view. there have been ones that have been very defensive and supportive but he's always stood by you. >> always. >> and he's his own man, i think, andrew. >> the great thing is about andrew, he does a fantastic job, as you know, and he also stands very firmly for what he believes is right and he stands in great strength with that and fights so hard for his country. what no one realizes, he does all this for his country and he doesn't have to and he does it and he does it with great pride. >> what are your biggest regrets, as the marriage fell apart and the press dived in and all these exposes about you and your life, what for you personally do you most regret doing in that period. >> every minute of my day i have to work on regret. every day. i regret divorci

this is not your favorite animal but they are a very misunderstood species. we have a fantastic exhibit with 20 species of these animals. please learn something about tarantulas. let me go into the conservation report. i want to talk about the global programs. the first of these is about living with lions. these programs -- they are programs funded by the san francisco zoo, a conservation group that works in kenya with the people that live with clients, and traditionally they would kill lions for our right of passage, and also when they killed the cattle. this is changing their thoughts to save lives, and there is an economic event hitch in tourism. by supporting these groups, lions are being protected. we have donated close to $30,000. this is not the san francisco zoo. we have a donation jar from when this opened in 2002. these are contributions made by the public to this project of over $30,000. this is supporting snow leopards and this conservation group is working with the communities where the snow leopards are found. they have traditionally killed snow

russia's oil and gas industry has very much been in west siberia it's very much been built around a very large export infrastructure. carried both oil and gas west would seem to europe. there are very long and. robust relationships i think which we in russia or in the european countries and it's only very recently i think the china's energy demand has dropped to a level where it needs to look at substantial volumes of imported oil and gas and i think that's why this is happening now talking of that robust relationship between russia and europe of course big opportunity now for russia in europe with germany banning its nuclear energy production. absolutely i mean i think you know germany's plans to phase out its nuclear generating capacity over the next eleven years is potentially a very big boost for russian gas exports it comes at a time when russia is about to complete the first phase of applying line under the baltic sea with a second phase to follow if we get a big surge in german gas demand as some people explaining to the german government has said that it wants to meet the supply

here's a very good investor and doing a really good job and one of his latest statements is a matter of fact made russians very happy he said that probably we are very close to agreeing are now three year visa for americans and for russians going to the united states do you think that that if we decide really to simply to be able to grant three year visas for people this is a real step to a visa free regime well imagine that these are free with the united states well you go back to work you said earlier now it was officially announced at the deauville summit was done and met with may get a visit there. that there will be some agreement on visas they're working on give a time for when it would actually be adopted but yes visa free visa three year visas multiple entry for businessman interests and twelve months for officials which is a huge step forward. you know what's that's that's progress enough that makes it considerably easier for people to do business or for people to come visit russia or or in the other direction. i think it's probably too soon to talk about a visa free regime t

we moved a lot very quickly. and i think that it was certainly in the sense of a new agenda for spectrum reform very, very good. for universal reform, i think we've moved the ball forward dramatically. there's also a number of other things i think people haven't noticed in education, for example. we were aligned, and we were not unique in this, but we were very much aligned with what the department of education is doing. if you look at their technology plan, it's similar to ours. if you look at the new consumer finance agency, they are taking a number of lessons that we talked about in the civic engagement section about how an agency can interact with the public. i think there are some other things, you know, something that got not that much attention but i think is actually quite profound, there's a proposal we had called the unified community anchor proposal which is how do you get next generation high-speed networks into every community? not every home, but every community through anchor institutions. that's so

i suppose i being presented as a very very interesting active do you know too wide to participate in the share category. but so have a quick look on the market prices have slightly recovered from their losses lights which is trading at about one hundred dollars a barrel mark and branch is that one hundred fifteen dollars in asia japanese nikkei is in the red as school just melted under the heat of affording u.s. dollar and hong kong's hang seng is also down with banking stocks among the main losers client on concerns of possible tightening over the coming long weekend as chinese regulator announced interest rate and reserve requirement hikes such holidays. and here in moscow the markets also trading about two hours time both the r.t.s. and the my six marriage to get into post of church out their very own to thursday session after seeing losses during the day. looking ahead to friday's trade and into next week as a little data on the immediate horizon here in russia investors will be concerned about. today we're not expecting any substantial corporate or macro developments on the domes

that to make energy and this was caused by the unprecedented a tsunami very heights and i mean nobody an expected that size of a tsunami so you can bring us that you failed but this was foreseen by anybody all over the world of course we are responsible for this accident but it should be closely reviewed whether we could have taken any other measures to prevent this and as of right now can you imagine a future japan. about nuclear energy moving away from atomic energy altogether and right now no we. have to see souls. so we have to use nuclear and it's in the near future to insist. emission free accreditation free in-store charges free. range minced free risk free studio types free. the old free broadcast quality video for your media projects a free media dog to our teeth dot com. more news today violence is once again flared up the film these are the images cobalt has been seeing from the streets of canada. the giant corporations are on the day. hungry for the full story we've got it for. the biggest issues get the human voice face to face with the news makers on r.t. . this is r.t.

the paper you mentioned a very liberal israeli newspaper and a very good one. j post is the website for the jerusalem post on the conservative side in israel. but they have -- both of them very, very lively, good well-informed discussions, articles, opinion pieces, great sources of information. and it did strike at the kind of fare that is part of the animated daily discussion in israel is often lacking here in the u.s. and it becomes down to a litmus test, are you with us are you against us kind of discussion. so, yes, you are -- you are looking at absolutely the right sources and getting a range of opinions. and, yes, we sort of wish we'd seen those kinds of debates here in the u.s. >> guest: but what's important about this book that the characters and the people we introduce you are in israeli and palestinian society who are not going with the flow. you have a chapter about a man who is an israeli who basically goes around the west bank monitoring the development of settlements and the expansion of settlements, and he is a former religious jew who decided tha

very congenial player who's seen as being in a really easy going probably the person that everybody gets along with the best during the course of this meeting in the end will spread lease chambers. justice process became extremely agitated very angry and well spread lee she asked him to leave her chambers and at that point according to and most readily justice cross or lunged at her grabbed her by the neck and held her in a chokehold. and other justices who were there at the time i will remain nameless so this is second hand but other justices who were there at the time will cross the board will say that it was not eight bradley not a joking situation it appeared to those involved in a byline or at least a very animated angry attack oh no erica justice processor has apparently history of anger management problems he's got quite a temper and he was on the record calling kick-ass a sharlee evidence and i'm back. footage of him when he was in the assembly kind of go and walking very aggressively shaking his fists and raising his fist up in the air at another m

bright one i like to thank you very much to a tree. for your attendance here for your very trite words and also for your friendship for the friendship with which. far i'd like to point out that this is the time culture in russia and it's also been claimed of russian culture in educating i'd like to also point out that we are precious for commercial foreigner and we aspire to be in a short period of time to become number three if a certain racial partner in russia are meeting with dmitri have always been a very positive indicator and almost always. we tend to be moving along the same line so we have the same approach to wishers i think this is this is something that derives from our similar background and often times that an international says things we really do find ourselves to be our lives to be other just human said so once again kind of native matriarch like to thank all the russian friends that spend here you're always very well come. in our beautiful garden most beautiful country thank you. right wrapping up their press conferenc

it is a very bureaucratic process. there is a board certified physician in the room at all times as a translator and an observer. interrogators are rarely, if ever along with their subjects. you have seen reported in "the new york times" that ksm was waterboarded 183 times. that is technically true but very, very misleading. it really means water was poured on his face 183 times but it was not 183 separate sessions. waterboarding is the top of the case and it has been extensively studied. tens of thousands of u.s. servicemen have been waterboarded with escape and evasion school and there is a lot of medical examination. there is no peer review steady anywhere in the world that shows the americans using waterboarding lease too any permanent or irreversible physical or mental problems. none at all. the list of subjects between 20 and 30,000 have never been able to find any serious physical or mental problem as a result of waterboarding. but ksm knew the rules and new they could all main pour the water for a maximum of 40

a room. we have the best bed. very comfortable and a beautiful big bathtub. nice and hot. sounds good. what do you think? nice hot bathtub. comfortable futon sounds good to be. we'll stay here tonight. thank you very much. this way please. upstairs please. thank you. your well co. and this will be your room. here are your bathrobes and the bathroom is through there and i'm,ihache and if you have any problems, let me know. thank you and enjoy your bath. he puts the three young men in the room right next door to the samurai. nice hot bath. feels good after a day of traveling. [singing] feels good huh? hey! why don't we have a party tonight. great idea. let's invite some geisha girls. we're on holiday so let's order the very best saki. later that night. [whispering] whoa! three gorgeous geisha girls come on in. okay. let's start the party. [music] whoa! yeah. hey! [music] [laughter] [singing] in the next room, the samurai was trying write a letter.

i think that would really be informed by a very broad approach to getting as many people involved in the process as possible. a different question that raised some thoughts with me was how do we make sure that we're hearing from as many people as possible? i know that there are about two or three meetings in every supervisor district. they often met in the evenings and the weekend. that is a fabulous approach. meeting in the middle of the day will not serve anybody will. they would often received things via fax. of course, receiving input through as many social media as possible, through as many ways as you could drop in those communities of interest to hear where people need to be heard. supervisor kim: thank you. are there any other questions or comments? cnn, thank you very much. we will go back to gia daniller- katz. after gia, jenny lam. >> good morning. thank you for including me. my name is gia daniller-katz, and i am here today because i would love the opportunity to serve as a member of the redistricting task force and to serve the city in committee in this way. my interest i

and the second part: the second part has to do with having in front of you a very odd-looking sort of leprechaunish -- latino leprechaun. as a matter of fact, in my novel that margaret spoke about, about jazz, in it, billy farrell, who is one of a very large number of characters, is a jazz pianist and before he begins playing a black leprechaun appears to him, mr. mcginniss so you can assume it's the ghost of mr. mcginniss. as margaret said, in 1949 we came to the south bronx, which was an irish neighborhood, mostly. i was sort of a spaced-out kid, destined obviously to be a poet. i was this big at 13 and i was a good rollerskater and the kids were amazed and they befriended me. after a while, they recognized that i had some sort of athletic ability and because i was so spaced out, they mistook it for great courage and if they pushed me, i pushed them back. it was just like a game. so they took to me and asked me to join the shamrocks. i even changed my name from ed vega to ed mcveigh. and this is how they passed me off because most of the teams they played were other irish kids. this

, a lot of the books are very inexpensive. and like i said we've only had a few years worth of data to look as we don't know how well it's going to influence people going forward. they have 100, 99-cent books on the device but it will never see them again until they're done reading all 100 it's hard to think about. >> on those lines you mentioned very few readers are monogamous. do you have any data about readers going back to the first life? they get a kindle for christmas, they try it. and identically i have a few people walk in the door and say i hate. i try to for a while and i hated. >> there is an because there's some scattered, and, frankly, the actual number of people are using the devices are too small for us to really, truly get into that way because we would love to ask what are your initial impressions of the device of what did you think about this? it was interesting because i bought a kindle last year from ebay. and the description of the device online was, you know, kindle can be used for parts from everything wo

very. we've been z. you about the so-called unburdening. idea that a company wants to invest should respect this legislation so hans again i think it's difficult but i'm pretty optimistic about the ability of both sides to cooperate in the future thank you thank you very much and just to remind you that my guest on the show today was tom are going to head the russian and high has center had french institute of international relations and that's it for now from all of us if you want to have your say on spotlight or if you have someone in mind you think i'm interested in amsterdam they drop me a line i'll bring out an ad r.t. t.v. dot are you let's keep spotlight interact we'll be back with more comments from what's going on in and outside russia until then stay on our team and take. notes. h. . you stand to lose me. everything you still see losing. everything was in a gold mine tragedy in northwest russia as a passenger plane crashes onto a highway killing forty four people early reports suggest pilot error and bad weather are to blame. at least fifteen

eight bradley not a joking situation that he appeared to those involved in a violent or at least a very animated angry attack. erica justice prosser has apparently history of anger management problems he's got quite a temper and he was on the record calling he cast a sharlee haven't found a match. or there's. footage of him when he was in the assembly kind of go and walking very aggressively shaking his fist and raising his fist up in the air at another member of this family so he's got quite a temper but i think you know there's a really this is really reflective unfortunately of the divisiveness. the conservatives have had in the state capitol i mean there was constant supreme court is still in the actual building of the wisconsin capitol and that they were you know supposedly also you know discussing their decision here and that this law has become so divisive has become so polarizing that it would come to the point where one justice would feel so much weight that they would put a hand on another is is really frightening justice has her supposed to be kind of the cooler heads prevail
