look at africa, this is one of the first printed maps to show the full coastlines of africa. africa and -- had only been circumnavigated in 1497 by the portuguese and the frame at the bottom of the map is broken and it would have been easy to push the frame down a little bit. i think the point is clear, it is a break with tradition, new knowledge and is exciting, possibly to a lot of you more exciting than the stuff on the left. people forget that but this is a great discovery, because it means you can sail from europe around africa and into the indian ocean and beyond and beyond that fact, though is the fact the map shows full 360 degrees of longitude, one of the first to do that as well. maps prior to this once had tended to leave a sinncertain portion of the globe on the map and the implication was generally that it was just kind uncharted ocean space and you didn't need to try to depict it and here is one of the first pictures of the world, laid out in the full 360 degrees, and what we are seeing, therefore, is a picture of the world, roughly, as we know it today and is n

of africa. africa had only been circumnavigated by the portuguese fully in 1947, and maps were only beginning to show all of this. the frame at the bottom of the map here is broken. it would have been pretty easy to push the frame down a little bit. i think the point is pretty clear this is a break with tradition. this is a new knowledge and exciting. possibly more exciting than the stuff on the left. people tend to forget that this is a great discovery because it means to conceal from europe around africa into the indian ocean and beyond. even beyond that facto is all 360 degrees of longitude. it is one of the very first to do that as well. matz prior to this one had tended to lead a certain portion of the globe and matt comecon to the implied on the back of the map as it were, and the implication was generally that it was kind of on chartered oceanic space and you didn't really need to try to depict it. here is one of the very first pictures of the world laid out in a pfohl three eddin 60 degr

south africa is a fantastic country. it all starts in 1652 with the arrival of a tall dutchman with a collar and long hair and 100 dutch people they are not colonizers. they are not conquers. they are planters. they've been sent by the east india company from amsterdam to grow salad to bring vitamins, produce vitamins for the sailors of the ships of the company engaged in the race for the spices around the world. so they are negative 16 tuesday to. they have strict instructions not to look toward africa. they are there just to do this garden work. but they belong to a chosen people. they are all from the calvinist religion, and calvin has preached to these people that they belong to a chosen people that they will have their conquered land. they will have their new israel. they are chosen by god to spread the christian virtues wherever they are. and after planting their salads they decide to build auxin carts and engage in to the content of south africa. but they realize there are so few that they cannot really come from

enough for the future of women in africa, and i am talking about 50 years ago and longer, when there were lots of movement for freedom, democracy in africa, yet they were among men, and liberals who held them -- european and indigenous who helped them in my homeland, for example -- they ignored the women. one of the great workers for women's rights in zimbabwe was an english woman who had been trained as an actress, married an aristocrat, and devoted her life in africa to helping africans, but not women. much later on, it became clear that the women are the key to the future of africa, and i was pleased that very recently i met with two african women here in washington who came to receive a prize for their work. i asked them what they thought about the opposition movement in zimbabwe, and they said that is going to be about arguing about who gets to get driven around in a mercedes. we need to give people seeds, and we need to stop the violence against women, domestically and politically. we have not got time for politics like that. oddly, of all of the things they want to do to help

that means how much for afghanistan compared with how much for africa. i would be fascinated by your comments on how you will manage that important balance. second, as someone who has admired u.s. aid for years, one of its biggest difficulties is not so much just the things you have referred to but the fact that its political masters have shied away when it comes under attack because of development projects somewhere has gone wrong. development projects do go wrong because it's a risky difficult business. i would urge you to recognize, because i think you did in the speech, you will have to fight very hard very often with the congress and others to defend u.s. aid because it gets into risk averse challenge, wondering what it dared do for fear one day there will be a congressional investigation. that has led to a lack of imagination and risk taking in development, not just u.s. development but multilateral. i hope with your leadership it will be corrected. >> hopefully, we will avoid making a lot of mistakes, but that is inevitable in any human undertakin

if you look at africa, for example, this is one of their first printed maps of africa that showed a full coastline. africa had 11 circumnavigated by the portuguese pulled in 1497. maps are only beginning to show all of it. the frame at the bottom of the map is broken. it would have been easy to push the frame down a bit. i think the point is pretty clear, this is new knowledge and it is exciting. t.thibly to log is more exciting people tend to forget that. this is a great discovery because it means you can sail from europe around africa and into the indian ocean and beyond. even beyond that fact is the fact the map shows a full 360 degrees longitude. it's one of the very first to do that as well. maps product of this would have tended to leave a certain portion of the globe unmapped, kind of implied on the back of the map as it were. and the implication was generally that it was kind of uncharted oceanic space and you didn't need to try to depict it. here, is one of the very first pictures of world laid out a full-page 360 degrees. what we're seeing therefore is a picture of the world ro

it's not only in north africa, but in nigeria in particular, but also in sub-south africa where al qaeda has strengthsened in the last couple years. our plate is full, but it requires a proactive effort internationally. it's not just defensive measures taken domestically, but we've got to work proactively with others around the world to address this threat. >>larry: we'll be calling on them again. two outstanding public servers. >>> -- the left and right observe the war on terror. when we come back. charles needs those contracts tomorrow morning. we should send them overnight with fedex. i already sent them. i didn't use fedex. better cross your fingers.

so you have christians in africa and asia who have the numbers.there's millions of christians in uganda and rwanda and sudan. these tend to be more conservative on some of these issues-- much more conservative, especially on the issue of homosexuality. and where their place is in the international christian family is very much up for grabs in this particular debate. >> indeed, christianity is growing. i think it's a great shock for people to realize that there are many more anglicans in africa than there are episcopalians in the united states. >> there's twice as many anglicans in sudan as there are in thunited states-- just one big country in africa. i don't think we're anywhere near catching up with what this means, not only on social issues but on doctrine, worship life, and all the rest. what's it going to mean, not very long from now, that christianity is essentially an african religion and not a western one, not a north american or european one? >> you're seeing that, to some degree, in the debate about global warming. i do think the environ

in fact, you criticize clinton, during his presidency, his africa overtures, his economic overtures. and i wonder if you could just talk about that a little bit? >> you know, clinton had what he called the african renaissance, which was a support of one approved dictator after another, as long as they did favors to big american corporations. and i think we've seen this over and over in our system. this embracing of friedman economics. you know, i was brought up in keynesian, even nixon, nixon said we're all keynesians, but that change very quickly. and under keynes, the belief was that corporations were there not just to make profit, but two good things. and to serve the people. and this goes back in the united states, for the first 100 years of this country, no corporation could get a charter unless it could prove it serve the public interest. charters only ran on average 14 years and then you had to go back and prove you it serve the public interest to get another charter. that all changed in the late 1800s when the supreme court decided that corporations had all the legal rights o

, and then north africa, and into europe. and so what you had in that case is a demonstration of what can evolved in this new environment where international networks can not only adapt, but can start to collaborate and work together. and so you've got a drug trafficking networks out of south america tied to an al qaeda group in africa affecting security issues, not just in that region, but then also in europe. and you have been, i think the prescription for potential disaster when you look at the facilities of some of these groups to work internationally. the nightmare scenario in this context, by the way, if some of these groups collectivize and for purposes of approximate or ideology. to use or smuggle a weapon of mass distraction. one of the things we worried most about in the national security council was al qaeda or other groups have expressed an interest in obtaining and using a weapon of mass distraction, to actually get access to it. and they could get access to it, perhaps, through some of these unaffiliated network
