[applause] one question, how did you survive? >> god. god. god. death row is a place that brings out the truest human being in you. it makes you realize you can't take nothing for granted. you need to love every moment of each day and praise and thank god for each moment you have out here. for the system to do what it did to me -- i was the only child from my mother. i was a father too. the system didn't see none of that. it did not see me not having a criminal record. it's hard to accept. it's hard to keep on continuing to accept a prosecutor or somebody that wants to sentence swub to death with a system that's corrupt as ours. all right.

they are embarrassed that greece has called anger is so much with people like angola merkel and nicolasarkozy. although they are opposed to the bailout plan and austerity measures, they are in favor of the continuing membership in the euro zone, and that is what george papandreou was hoping for. if there is a referendum on whether or not greece should remain part of the euro, he could still last a few days or months, however long it would be to steer grees through this crisis, but it is extremely uncertain. he is facing calls for his resignation, and there is still intense political instability to add to its financial woes. >> thanks very much, mark. and as we heard, the g-20 summit which was to deal with the global crisis was derailed by the event in greece. they are terrified of the economic fallout from that one small country. for more on how people are reacting, we have this report from our reporter in cannes. >> the leaders of the world's largest economy is getting ready for a chin wag. a tiny country that is not even in the club. this is not help president sarkozy plan his summit,

in neighboring angola, the birth rate is 6 children per woman.hers say birth rates are likely to fall in african countries where prosperity is rising. the population in vietnam has grown significantly over the past decade. and most of the children born there today are much better off than they were just 20 years ago. child mortality is down, and access to primary education has improved dramatically. but often, basic health care is still more the exception than the rule. minority communities in remote parts of the hÄ jang province, for example, still don't benefit much. a deep-rooted suspicion of state interference sometimes keeps pregnant women there from seeking assistance from doctors and midwives. but birth is often risky for both the mother and the unborn child. that's why one young woman has set out to help her community. ♪ ." - is on her way to work. this time, it is a three-hour trek. she's a midwife -- and her job is saving lives. here in the mountains of northern vietnam, nearly half of all women still give birth at home -- far from any

in angola the author of several books among them gods of money wall street and the death of american century and he is also a political risk consultant so we're going to discuss several more several of the most burning out political and economic issues in the world today mr engel think you very much for joining us to be here to start off basically a never never before has the world faced so many economic and political problems all at the same time would you say that these conflicts which we're seeing today i term as if you are in the dollar situation and what's happening in northern africa and in the middle east do these conflicts trade off each other are they somehow related or not particularly what i see all these conflicts the decision to libya the crisis with the dollar the crisis with the american economy and the conduct of american foreign policy in the last period. is all part of a breakdown of the entire super power structure that was built up after b.m. of the world war two and nobody in washington wants to admit just as nobody in britain a hundred years ago wanted to admit

i spent months in angola. the resistance there, we would dig in the ground for food. >> you were a war correspondent. i'm wondering in your mind, how would you define being a war correspondent? is there something different? what are the qualities that you need? >> i think there is something true to all people who do the kind of work that i do. all journalists who choose to do that kind of work. i think the story bigger than you. that's what you're really motivated by. if you're motivate by being on television, you're not there. you're not the one on the sharp edge, on the razor's edge of the true side of the war. not just the hundreds of people that flocked to baghdad the day the city fell. i'm talking about the 100 journalists that stayed when the city was under attack. i think we're motivated by the same thing that murrow was motivated by. being an observer. witness to history. one of the most fundamental tenants to any democracy. you to first witness it and then decide where you stand. >> you feel that you'

china angola, china and the drc. china was one of these countries, but it was a large poor country with oil and the line of credit to be repaid with a whale was offered by japan in the late 1970s. why am i telling you this story today? i am telling you this story because of several different reasons. one is this arrangement was not based on a period there was a market weight line of credit that just japan offered to china. china said this is something that could be his first benefit to this is something that benefited japan come and pick up focus and services to china and it benefited china because they could import things they didn't have an international credit rating to burrow for you. now, china is operating in africa at as many of the framers that it is learned by being a nation power and some of those complement relationships with japan. it's a different bottle of engagement and much of this is not actually involve official development aid. it's much closer to japan's engagement asian countries. so there are a

people josefina in brussels which i mean maybe the civil war comment is really germane here because as angola merkel has pointed out and other european leaders the second world war isn't that long ago in the unification is so very important here between france and germany is world historic when you look at her to country's history to my point is that either you keep you have to keep pushing ahead or you just drop the whole idea altogether because the status quo simply is not tenable you also what do you think about that in brussels. well that's what it is we have to remember that monetary unions never come about by finding the optimal currency zone you know this is most monetary unions in history have been achieved by power either by the power of the law by treaty or by power of the sword and they have been sustained that way it is very rarely that you can actually convince an entity to voluntarily do so it comes over time when that instruments provides actually stability and prosperity for the time being the euro has done that and we should not forget we're not really having a euro crisis we

eurozone is simply stated you have a federal currency in a nonfederal political system so you may say is angola merkel does to put it right you need to federalize the political system but i don't think that there's full understanding of what a federal political system means it means there's more loyalty to the whole than the parts for example more loyalty to the united states as a whole than california more loyalty to germany than to bavaria now there are very few people in any of the member states who have more loyalty to europe than their own member state and this is particularly important in germany because if you federalize the system it means the germans will have to contribute more to the probably good countries to greece italy and the other mediterranean states so i don't think a federal your of is on the way it would be create at the moment would be nondemocratic it would be created by elites so it's a nonstarter ok charles if i can go to you i mean i think everyone would say that the economic union has gone pretty well quote unquote because everyone's cart in this euro mess here i mean

and still the qantas hour here in our teeth from a stairway to angola why many of fortune will smartest and sharpest are taking off to find jobs in some unexpected places in africa and south america. after girl gadhafi is battlefield execution last month there have been hopes he is captured son saif al islam would receive a fair trial but there are growing fears that won't be the case in the hands of libya's new rulers as a band of reports there are powerful figures in the west who could influence the course of justice. say feliz long get daffy is a man with a lot to say he's the last chance the world has to know how they get that the regime turned from public enemy number one to prison buddies with britain and the other western powers but the international criminal court in the hague says it's not going to extradite him allowing libya to try him instead it's libyan officials already calling for the death penalty many fear it's a tactic to keep those dirty secrets hidden forever. controlled forum where the the western interests look at look at what happened with the trial of which you c

and angola is a classic example following the civil war in angola at the beginning of the century when it came to an end they wanted the west to come and invest a lot of money and rebuild their infrastructure and the west to essentially said know we are really not interested at this point. they went to china and china said we would be more than happy to do it. of course we expect you to pay back the loans by sending oil to china and by the way we chinese companies the will build these for you and we have a component of chinese labor that will come and help to construct the products projects. it is a good deal for china, but china was the only one offering to do this sort of thing and the analysis the countries don't have much improved infrastructure they will never improve their economy. they cannot continue the level that they were at say ten years ago so china has done them a favor and i think across the board of the effort china has done to invest on the continent with some exception has generally been a plus. >> dr. brautiga and about of time for my first round. what impact has it

in angola the author of several books among them gods of money wall street and the death of american century.

essentially summoned to cannes where the g twenty summit is going on explains himself to suck causey and angola merkel and then there's rumors about him having to step down or you know is he just is he just in panic over the situation running out of control or does he have no control of the major you heavyweights telling him where to go with those that explanation was that it was just a bluff. movement. i think it. knows the that is not that we should believe that to go over and. begin to account of this lack of legitimacy of its own government of his own government should keep those that you're not going to make. to the people who can only impose it in a way to make them accept. his government who are in this movement feet into the woods of course of movement of interest free from because of for the reactions. of his members of his own views and also because of the external reaction so let's let's turn away from the whole political side of it let's let's talk about the greeks themselves for the past eleven months now we've seen just absolutely dozens of protests against forced austerity measur

and a lot of portuguese construction companies winter and there are currently there are very active angola maybe know something but many portuguese are starting to hear it at least as a present day. an african country rich in diamonds and oil resources presents an appetizer an opportunity for a lot of people who have lost hope of finding a decent job at home before a member of ever i tell i'm moving abroad invariably says brill and can you get mad job doing friends haven't asked me to take their c.v. . according to some reports around ninety thousand portuguese are currently living in goa compared with just ten thousand in two thousand to some golden gate for better income but most are simply looking for something something better than the ever worsening situation at home recently i think salaries unfortunately are not the main reason and the main reason is the lack of opportunities in the portuguese markets due to the well to the crisis the mass exodus of portugal's young smart and educated may portend the end of an era for the country a lot of specialized people have hired occasion scien

in angola. and anything to weaken the soviet empire which was seen as the overwhelming threat posed by traditional right wing nationalists of the kind you find that heritage interventionist policies critics say still haunt america and yet continue to be pushed for time and time again in washington christine for is now fourteen. and joining me for more of a david swanson opera if not right here when the world out lot outlaw out of war they didn't get the how big of an empathic a conservative think tanks have on coming up support for a war the tremendous impact they carry this agenda forward on the plan that spans decades and they proceed with a similar agenda as presidents and congresses of the two parties come and go and they rotate their own staffers and think tankers in and out of official government positions and back to the think tank these are the people who led the destruction of welfare as we knew it during the clinton years they are for small government meaning small nonmilitary governme

follow them again playing by the rules is something we've heard very many times from him in both angola merkel after this summit he talked about how the g twenty leaders did come to one concrete decision they're on the same page about bolstering the role of the i.m.f. that of course is to prevent any kind of domino effect or contagion in terms of this euro crisis and having it filter and really kind of bring the global economy into the danger that we saw back in two thousand and eight we're hearing reports that although the summit has been ramped up that the final communique won't actually be released until after midnight now it could be a fair guess to say that they're waiting to release that for that confidence vote to go through on of course the greek prime minister another thing that was interesting that sarkozy met. and a very harsh statement he talked about the international community excluding countries that are tax havens so a lot of focus on the euro he spoke a lot about italy which of course is considered to be the next country that could be on the same road as greece but the

the fact that no action is still being taken on that demonstrators in nicolas sarkozy dressed in angola merkel and barack obama must have given an alternative summit press conference we've spoken to the fake nicolas sarkozy who says yes we confirm we're a rich organization the g. twenty is a ritual going as asian for the rich and we don't see anything wrong with the world economy at the moment but we. will move. forward in the region and i want people not only good for him and we want to moshe. the fake angela merkel says we're quite happy for greece to have a referendum on whether it should have the euro bailout as long as they vote yes considering the fairly vague official statements coming delta just down the road in cannes some here have said that this is perhaps the more informative of the two summits if you like it follows protesters in nicolas sarkozy massed on the mediterranean sea coast holding up signs saying the g twenty is chile and we don't want to take any risks those are just really have a new strategy i mean it's avoiding the violence that we've seen during previous summ

were only protecting their borders would seem very strange to me as their borders did not include angolae and now nicaragua which was all in our hemisphere. i thought my country is very much in danger and no one is looking at this. they are so busy looking at things in their own world, that they don't see that even though this is half a world away, this is important. and we can stop it now and we must stop it now. >> in your book it's one of the first pages, you write how does it feel to have a movie made about you? of course, the movie made about you stars julia roberts and your answer was awful. you thought it was awful to have julia roberts play you in a movie? >> oh, know, i love julia and i was absolutely over the moon when i heard that she was going to play me. but i didn't know that i was going to be the villain. and in the first scripp it says joann and her conservative christians caused 9/11. can you imagine having that said about you? and i kept asking them don't you want to talk to me? and everybody said no. and i said, well, you are paying julia roberts an awful lot of money

i would spend time with the people in the war in angola. no one carried about that war.euters would go in once every few months, that would be the time anyone ever reported on the war, and people were being tortured and massacred and slaughtered. i cared. i never did it because that was the thing that was going to make me famous. i did it because i believed in it. >> was there ever, in your mind, people you looked up to as a war correspondent? >> i never wanted to be somebody else. i always wanted to be my own person. and i didn't grow up within, you know, i didn't grow up in the arm os -- arms of the american media. i respected what christiane amanpour did in beijing, but i i think the people that i, that i really respected most were the ones in the trenches with me who taught me everything that i know. >> the reporters that were there with you or the soldiers? >> the people just side by side, the reporters. you know, in south africa, you know, in the fight against apartheid, it wasn't like the media is in a lot of other places. people cared about the story. people were

>> i would spend time with people in angola. nobody cared about that war. who was recording it if we were not there? reuters going in a few months would have been the only time. people were being tortured. most people do not care about that but i cared. i never did it because it was going to make me famous. -- was it ever in your mind who you looked up to? >> i respected people but never wanted to be somebody else. i wanted to be my own person. i did not grow up in the arms of the american media. a respected cnn in beijing when the first goal for happen. i wanted to be there. the people that i respected most were the ones in the trenches with me who taught me everything i know. >> the other reporters? >> people side-by-side. the reporters. in south africa, it was not like the media is in a lot of places. people care about the story. people believed apartheid was wrong. if we could expose what was happening, it was track -- change. great people from all over the world would come there to work. that is to talk me my craft, even down to the black guy who did n

but compared to angola and mow saddam beek, that was fairly luxurious. >> you are not saying it's more difficult for a woman to cover a war, are you? >> no. there are certain risks that women face. when the "new york times" teams were arrested in libya, there were things that happened to the men in that team that were never talked about of a sexual nature. men are at risk. >> i read a lot about you and lot of things what you have said and what people have said about you and i come away with the impression that a lot of people seem more fascinated by your personal life, what kind of person is lara logan than about your professional accomplishments, which are so obvious. so why do you think that's the case? >> i don't know, they think a photograph of me can sell a newspaper, apparently. i have been told that. i don't have a good answer to that question. one thing i will say, though, i had no idea until egypt happened that there were so many of my colleagues that were interested in the work that i do and respected it. and because you get so used to covering your back in this business and

friend is absolutely right, and that is why we've made a particular commitment to two roads in east angolaand the a14 is a real challenge, as he knows, because it's such a vital artery for our entire national economy. we're announcing commitments today to improve the a14, and we also want to work with local councils, local communities to make even greater, lasting improvements in the future. >> helen goodman. >> thank you, mr. speaker. the chancellor of the exchequer ended his speech by talking about quack doctors, and, of course, in the book george's marvelous medicine, george makes a medicine for his grandmother to shrink her. can't the chancellor understand that he will not grow the british economy by cutting tax credits which will make it uneconomic for many women to go out to work? >> well, as i say, we're not cutting past credits, we're updating the -- [inaudible] and she should have listen today what i had to say. >> claire perry.

in the case of angola, china has signed about $14.5 billion worth of these concessionary loans.a's also stepped up its efforts on soft power in africa. now, what are the implications for the? i think the heightened engagement in africa by china since the mid 1990s has important implication for the united states. certainly, if you look at relationships with countries like zimbabwe and sudan, it provides a real option for china that did not previously exist. but even countries that have good relations with the united states find themselves in a position where they can be a hot more selective in terms of the advice that they accept from the united states because they might be able to obtain support from china. on the commercial side, a company like boeing continues to do well in africa. it also has no chinese competition. on the other hand, electronic giants like hewlett-packard, motorola, siemens and erickson are losing business to chinese companies. the easy financing offered by chinese state banks, lower bids on projects by chinese state-controlled construction companies and the
