bangladesh is to china. i wonder what china will say about that. mark, your book talks about choosing the right fish to eat and writing letters to public officials what can we do about overfishing? but specifically, can you tell us what has been the record of the obama administration of fishing issues, and if we did have the power to influence the government, our government, what law or policy is exactly are now pending that should be enacted? >> guest: director of the obama administration is dramatically different than the record of any other administration. there's an act of congress which regulates fisheries and it regulates within the 200 file limit and on the international issues it's not much of a priority. [laughter] which is why i say to write to elected officials generally the ball gets carried by delegations from massachusetts, alaska, washington state and things in that as the riders on cornell's and things. i would like to see a number of things, i would like to see fishing issues become bilateral talks in china and the u.s. and japan i

he wrote a book called the poverty curve and jeffery sacks wrote the end of poverty in bangladesh a great example, they introduced 35 years ago to do a campaign to get all women and men or boys literate. it was 22% and today it's more than 75 percent if you look at a demographic curve with the population, you can see it's just starting to reach an apex in bangladesh. they're way ahead of india, and pakistan. it's an impact to stabilize the population there. also, um... excuse me. you know having hard cover thing fighting terrorism with education i've learned from islamic scholars. in the koran it's implicitly stated in the holy koran when a young mangos on jiha d and this is a spiritual endeavor to seek knowledge. it could also mean he's going into a group. but he has to get blessings from his mother first and if he doesn't do that it's shameful and disgraceful. after 911 the taliban had a high desertion rate and they were trying to get recruit groups to fight against intervention and coalition and they went in literally impoverished societies because educated women refused to allow they'

we found her through a program in bangladesh.rogram that dealt with the urban slums there in daca. they had an amazing program where they created like clean birth huts. this is a population where they deliver outside of a facility. it's traditional to give birth at home. but monica 's situation was one in trying to understand this cultural barrier, cultural and social, you know. you don't have a lot of freedom as a woman in certain soatsz. this is the largest, fourth largest muslim community in the world. and to really get under that and understand why she's making decisions or not making decisions was a fcinating experience. >> [speaking foreign language] >> monica lived in slum in the nt city. shs prnant with her second child. i remember talking to women when i said why don't you give birth outside the home. because there are soil risks. and what about complications. the first thing this many would looked ame and said do you know what w pray, we may may allah never take a woman outside to give birth. it's accepted culturally an

between the ages of 18-35 camped out at the border and the bangladesh government would not or could not come to their rescue. on the flip side of that when i returned to egypt several weeks later, there was not one bangladesh man left and thousands and thousands of chaddians or sudans without passports and many people were outside their native countries, and some were born in libya and had no identity documents of any kind. let's see -- gadhafi's resistance to the revolt is endirging to the tripoli's south and felt in bangladesh, vietnam, and the philippines. the imcompletion is much more than north african crisis but a imloabl crisis. many of the migrant workers who had been working in libya for many, many years actually don't have a place to go back to. i spoke with chaddians in france and the north sudans, and they said they didn't have homes back in the country where they were from because they had been in libya for an incredibly long time. the rebels themselves, who are they? that's a question asked here in the united states and in the european union which i was able to read so

additionally, bangladesh is quite a positive story. and it's not just bilateral story, although that is a very good one, but actually relations between bangladesh and india have improved quite impressively in the last few years to where they are working quite effectively on preventing infull tradition from bangladesh and india, and bangladesh itself has done a good job. so there's a lot going on. there are still problems to be addressed. you know, i wouldn't say it's a problem. but i would say, for example, nepal has been an area that we've seen l.e.t. activity, and insurgency, and now appearing to be coming to a better place and better suited to deal with it's counterterrorism issues. i think by and large, there are a number of key good stories in south asia. >> thank you. i want to ask you about something that happened this week, the kandahar prison breakout and how concerned you are about any of the individuals that escaped. >> well, the numbers involved speak for themselves as a source of concern. and obviously it's one that we're

muslim women have the joy of greater rights and opportunities in places like bangladesh or indonesia.nsider the family bought in morocco or the personal status code into the jet. communities and from egypt to send all are beginning to take on entrenched practices like child marriage, honor crimes, and he about cutting. all over the world we see proof that women's rights are compatible. unfortunately, there are some who are working to undermine this progress and export a anti- bomb and ideology to other muslim communities. all of these challenges from unemployment to widespread corruption to the lack of respect and opportunities for women have a few of frustration among the region's young people. changing leaders alone will not be enough to satisfy them. not at cronyism continues to choke off opportunity for participation. or of citizens cannot rely employees said the courts to protect their rights. the power brokers inside and outside of government needs to step up and work with the people to craft a positive vision for the future. generals and imams, everyone was benefited from and r

pakistan survive three years of war within the and lost its population when bangladesh became independent so pakistan will probably follow through which was done in the past. too big to fail. it know that. economic situation is particularly bad. they will sort something out that we might do something to sort things out. on a drone campaign, george w. bush authorized the drone program to quadruple in scale as president obama had. human-rights organizations would be outraged. this is where we talked about assassination. even if you take conservative figures are mentioned the number, the very conservative estimate of the number of people killed and the drone of attacks. controversial is the question of how many civilian casualties there are. we maintain it is the most comprehensive database on this issue. it was -- nonetheless, and and declared war in pakistan, something that merits more attention. we won't have a monopoly on this technology. if war is an answer other countries around the world have noticed armed drones on the future of war. if we create a precedent where the programs are se

and in order for them to be able to do that and behind them in bangladesh or pakistan or the place i find myself increasing thinking about and africa and nigeria. we've got to adapt and move on to different things. >> charlie: it's a pleasure having you on the broadcast. >> thank you very much for having me. >> charlie: lionel barber is here. he is as you know the editor of the financial times. he joined the ft25 years ago his newspaper is washington correspondent. he went on to become the editor for continental europe and the u.s. managing editor. under his watch the publication has generated profits in an industry upended by the digital revolution. the ft was one of the first traditional newspapers to successfully charge for on-line content. this is more and he'll tell you about it. i'm pleased to have lionel barber back at this table. welcome. >> good to be here charlie. >> charlie: i get a note that's addressed to mara, whoever mara is. and it was your chinese travels. i thought this is a story. lionel barber through china. tell me about it. >> i thought your middle name was mara

we know about the innovations in bangladesh and the ways in which that spread and has taken ahold all over the world and because of the ways in which it is so efficient to transfer resources was almost zero overhead that is not you can say traditionally with aid organization of the person to person around the world i think a great deal of it has come under attack because of a couple of scandals happening in india and elsewhere but there is no reason to throw the baby out with the bathwater this is absolutely a revolution on a global scale and the mechanisms by which economic transactions and now combine that with technologies that did not even exist with microfinance -- microfinance you will see it continue to deepen and spread a lot of steady say only 10 or 15% of the market finance customers are presently being served despite the fact of institutions and within five or 10 years come every single person in the world will have a mobile phone or within the family unit or the village level we just see the beginning of it and i think it is a great thing and the repayment rates are still

in another perspective, the complete sours and in the midst for a new assistant engineer in bangladesh or is $12,000. we clearly have an affordability issue and they cost issue with american healthcare. we need health care reform in america because we need much more affordable care. what does reform look like? health care reform to be done well hast have four elements to it. one is coverage. we're the only industrialized country that does not cover everyone. we need to do that. we need to take care. there should not be 1.7 million people get infections in our hospital. we need safer and more effective care. we need half as many people dying of sepsis in hospitals. we need to fix the cost of care. i'll return to that in a second. if we have half as many as transplants, that will bring down the cost of care. we really need to improve population held. if we leave that out of the equation, we're making a huge mistake. we need to focus on achieving a portability by making health care a lot smarter. when we look at focused on opportunities, the first that is obvious is a 75% of the cost of c

in the balkans, in india and bangladesh, in the north caucasus in south asia, in north america and europe and in sub-saharan africa these preachers, ngos, and doses of saudi cash have for decades prepare the ground for al qaeda and its allies. to the -- to the sounds realize this? of course they do. we must always keep in mind the only islamist terrorist or insurgent attack they disapprove of are those that occur outside the kingdom. inside the kingdom, rather. a final point to make on this symbiotic saudi arabia al qaeda relationship outside the arabian peninsula is that saudi activities abroad release outside of the need to fund, staff and manage the humanitarian, educational health services wing comes like those that are run by hamas, hezbollah, and the muslim brotherhood. and, therefore, they are allowed to focus on spreading the organization and planning military activities. bin laden, al qaeda and their allies and those that inspired in our the third of the persian gulf threats and they are i think the most dangers to the united states. they are the most dangerous not because they a

represented their hometown which has a very significant south asian population from pakistan and bangladesh, and i still live in my home top, and they -- how many -- hometown, and the conversations actually happen and my jewish friends revere, and it's not as in the -- they say why can't we be organized? why are we so pathetic with our case? it doesn't feel like it from our side, but they think that they couldn't -- we have a phrase in the north of england and it's very difficult to plant fog, and they don't think they are effective, but the truth is they have been very, very good just like the nonstate actors at applying and adapting. they are opportunists. they smell a changing wind and capitalize on it. our problem that we have is our architecture both in america and in europe is established. it's like supertankers like governments and that's why israel finds it hard to adapt with state and nonstate actors, and it's very similar to the organized jewish community versus basically beyond organizations that are capitalizing on events and so when in britain, for example, there was a huge sto

there are about 1,000 migrant workers from north africa, bangladesh, pakistan, other places being evacuated on this ship from misrata where they've been trapped for many weeks. and in the hold of the ship, down in the cabins normally reserved for passengers, are 50 to 60 seriously wounded people who've been taken from the hospital in misrata. they're being taken to benghazi for further treatment. now that's necessary, because the hospital in misrata is overrun. they're having to do triage in a tent in the courtyard because the main hospital had to be evacuated, it's too close to the front lines and too dangerous. so they've got to move people out as fast as they can. as soon as they're stabilized, if they can get them on ships like this, they do. the fighting in misrata is sporadic. yesterday when we were there it was considered a light day. there was a fair amount of shelling, but not that heavy. casualties nonetheless still came in. and funnily enough, when you drive around misrata, there are areas that look almost normal. there are people out in the streets, small markets, actually traff

gaddafi's resistance to the eastern-led revolt has ripple effects that will be felt as far afield as bangladesh, a vietnam and the philippines. this is actually a global crisis. many of the migrant workers who had been working in libya for many years actually do not have a place to go back to. i spoke with people from chad and some of the south and north sudanese, and many of them told me that they do not have homes in the countries they were from because they had been in libya for an incredibly long time. the rebels themselves, who are they? this is a question that has constantly been asked in the media here in the united states and in the european union, which i was able to read some of online when i got out of a very internet-restricted libya. lydia's rebels are, as you might discern from media accounts, or anything but monolithic. every fighter i spoke with claims to be fighting for what they called a free libya. most say they're looking to transform the gaddafi state into a representative government that includes a rotating presidency. many said they wished it would be four years, consiste

instant on this board, we have no one from the four largest muslim populations in the world, india, bangladeshakistan and indonesia. this is a board centered in the culture of the middle east and like imam faisal road from the ground zero is lawmaker center said at american university just a few months ago the problem now today is that muslims worship islam over worshiping god. >> there is a lot in those questions, and who would like to go first? speier response to the first question about secularism, there are two meanings or definitions of secularism. one is what you might call institutional, secularism or procedural secularism and the other one is the kind of substantial secularism is a worldview, as a way of life. in the first case, separating the institutions of religion from the institutional politics and protecting their rights, the religious rights of all groups or nonreligious writes about rubes and keeping the state an equal distance from all belief, that is the definition of secularism that has been widely accepted in various muslim countries and also in the anglo-american form of s

ambitions have been announced to build 35 nuclear reactors in 15 countries, including bangladesh, vietnam, jordan. countries that have almost no experience of managing nuclear energy or nuclear plants. and now, the problem is that russia is trying to increase its lobbying capabilities within the iaea so that they will now train the staff for the iaea. so, iaea is basically balancing right now between the fear of people against nuclear energy or nuclear weapons, and the interest of the nuclear industry. and is basically turned into the lobbying agency for a nuclear renaissance. and it has been confirmed through announcement that there will be 30 countries where we will have nuclear plant is built before 2013. that is why i think the role of the iaea should be reviewed. and the general secretary of the u.n. should consider its role very seriously and played a role as well. -- and play a role as well. and wouldn't we like to see the situation when the relationships between the countries about nuclear energy or construction of new plants would remind you about the corruption situation. thank
