alexander went there. there was one horse who was the biggest, strongest, toughest, obviously the greatest horse there. he was so wild that nobody could ride him. so phillip let him go without putting a bid on the horse. and alexander as a little boy said something like father, that's a fine piece of horse flesh that you lose for lack of spirit to ride him. the calvary officers turned around. do you think you are going to ride him? yes, i will. they said i'll buy him too. how are you going to pay? with all of my prince's inheritance. they let him try. alexander noticed something nobody else knows. the horse was spooked by his own shadow. he turned the horse into the sun and talked to him, calmed him down, sprung into the saddle and to make a long story short, while everybody was freaking out, he took it around the track. when he came back, his father was in tears and went out and embraced him and said, son, you look out for a kingdom greater than ours. for clearly macedonia was too small for us. of course,

alexander was a year older than me when he died he was thirty one. he suffered from a mental disease called bipolar affective disorder i had a son a young boy of my voice she showed me this tattoo. and i just felt that i wanted the ground to open up below and swallow me. it was. tough. i just put my hands over my mouth and couldn't say anything. she came up to me to take back the photobook. the photos were scant but i told him no sir i'm strong enough to look at them. and. i disappeared from the neighborhood. at about four pm. he was killed the following day eleven hours later at about five am. it was found about one hundred sixty kilometers away when. he left me the photos and i kept looking at them. they'd put an old rifle beside him. and i noticed he had a white t. shirt and a jacket that had given him. alexander was mentally ill he was never in the army he didn't know a thing about weapons and their place to machine gun beside a really powerful weapon. next to the other boy they put a less powerful gun even though he was good with weapons. he kne

when we met he told me alexander had died on september seventeenth at five am. in chief. during a clash with the army. i think it's part of what i once called the tater ship of the positive within the police forces . by that i mean that the instrument the parameter to measure the effectiveness and the results of the police forces is the number of positive all. the cases we have registered between january two thousand and seven and june two thousand and eight are five hundred thirty five unlawful executions reported to our organizations. at first there was a decree known as the cap to create relating to rewards for operations of national importance. and that. in other words troop members were given significant sums of money if they shot individuals who were thought to be guerillas . what the country wasn't told is that the when the decree was revoked a secret directive was issued that kept the same rewards for every enemy shot. the soldiers have to achieve results their careers are c'est according to performance if they've got nothing to show and they have to be created. i

there they gave us the medical examination papers for my brother alexander. delic sound and for no barrel the other young man who died with him. at the medical examination office they gave us the death certificate and the woman who was the medical examiner there were cold war. so they'd give us the bodies with thought that if we did arrive in time look at have buried them in bogota the same day as. if they'd injured him because what i got is that they hit him with one or two bullets. and on the death certificate it says death do you just several gunshots. out of the most saddest part of the story was when nobody arrow's mom asked me the meaning of death by acute hemorrhage of anemia. because she didn't understand. i thought the clearest thing to say was that they bled to death. at cute humor ranjit and mania we asked what it was and they said they bled to death both of them actors brother and. you know and they died so close to the hospital in the city it wouldn't. being logical for the army people themselves even if they were real criminals to take them to t

another alexander story. the macedonia army was crossing a waterless desert, blistering heat, men, horses suffering terribly from thirst. scouts road ahead, found a spring, got a hellment full of water, brought it to the king, and everyone in the column could see -- it was a desert -- they brought him the water, and he took the water from the scouts and thanks them from bringing it to him and without touching a drop, he poured it into the sand, and again a great cheer went out from the desert and everybody said with a leader like this and a king like this, we can go anywhere, so selflessness is another great virtue, and one final -- it's not the final one, but one that gets overlooked in warrior virtues because it sounds egospz and people are em baressed to say it, and it's the desire to be great. i'm looking at jezelle, and you know what i'm talking aboutment just the desire to excel, the will to concur, to be the best and not settle for anything immediate i don't -- mediocre. another story while i'm at it.

equivalent glow in us that style good of interviews the director general of business innovation of alexander of google and spotlight is up next. hello again a welcome to spotlight the interview show on r.t. i'll do another and today my guest is i did some good work for. g.p.s. the global positioning system developed in the united states has long been the only functioning and reliable worldwide navigation system put recently russia introduced its own system called glow that this its satellites are meant to see areas with g.p.s. does it together they could guide us from space tell her everything in chapter three but is it happened i mean the development and because gracious here's a director general of go next and a geisha systems alexander will call. the drawn ass positioning system has been functioning for two years in this short time it's had some positive feedback from outside of russia the swedish companies as blunt as operates better than g.p.'s in northern latitudes but there have been some problems with a lot of satellites three new ones crashed into the ocean on their way to the orbit

alexander dave. commissioner fung: but according to your records, you stand by those numbers. >> correct. >> thank you. is there public comment on this item? seeing none, the matter is submitted. vice president garcia: i personally find it reasonable to apply the current transportation code to this particular case. there were interesting things presented to us in the papers having to do with the original intention of proper k, written by then-supervisor copp. moseley had to do with trying to eliminate medallions from passing to the hands of people who were not drivers. i think the account has demonstrated he is an actual driver. he is making his living as a taxicab driver and has tried to meet the requirements. were we to apply it to our transportation code, he certainly has met it. that is in terms of the driving requirement. i would personally want the mta to grant it. commissioner fung: it is interesting because this case has dragged on for a while. there was some incentive in order to be able to

. >> senator alexander. >> thank you, chairwoman. thank you to the commissioners for their service. he is always useful to begin with a safety -- it is always useful to begin with a safety record -- no deaths on any nuclear reactor, navy reactor, and no one was hurt on three mile island. that is an enviable record. i would like to approach it differently. what if we did not have nuclear power? what if we did not have that at all? it is 20% of all electricity, 70% of all clean electricity. we use about one-quarter of all of the electricity in the world to power this country. what if we did not have nuclear power? we can look at japan and get an idea. there were a couple of articles last week that gave us a picture of it. "the wall street journal" article said the japanese are very patient people, so they will turn their air conditioners up to 82 degrees. the reason this is true is that because since the earthquake most reactors are out. they have been closed for maintenance. so, they have lost about 20% of electricity in japan, about the same amount nuclear power provides to us. it c

eastern time. >> peter alexander in midtown manhattan. thanks for joining us. >>> now to nbc chief science correspondent robert ba spem you were talking earlier about the concerns in regards to the nuclear power on the east coast. have you been able to contact the emergency team responsible for securing them? >> reporter: yes. just got through to the regulatory commission and the north anna plant two reactors, the one closest to the epicenter of today's earthquake is the only one that was shut down, and it was shut down safely. there was absolutely no danger or possibility of a radiation leak. the generators there that are supposed to kick in to keep the rods cool did as they were supposed to do. so the rods are being cooled thereby completely eliminating the danger of any radiation leak from excess heat as we saw at fukushima in japan, where there was a tsunami that knocked out -- >> that must give us reassurance that they seem to be efficient on a day like today? >> reporter: absolutely. there are many nuclear power plants. i don't know

it's just peter alexander right now.t's about it. >> reporter: you know, this is -- this is what people worry about in hurricanes like this. they worry about those winds. even as we speak to you you can see the stauettes on the side of the buflding. >> flags are in tatters. it looks like they have been r shr shr shredded. >> reporter: we saw a lot of trees beginning to bounce around or get pulled out by their roots. i'm just anxious to go back out there and see what it looks like right now. >> that's of great concern in covering this hurricane. peter alexander, hunker down again. thank you so much. we'll check in. bertha coombs is in baltimore, maryland. there has been one death reported in that state. good morning to you, bertha. you're able to smile. you don't have an umbrella over you. i bet that will bring a smile to a lot of folks in that area. still looks windy. >> reporter: it is. the gusts are about 25, 30 miles per hour. or so. but the rain has pretty much passed us by. you know, tom is down on the shore in ocea
