[speaker not understood]. >>> i was very surprised to hear the survey people like to ride to work in free luxury buses he. that was a real shocker. you know, a few years ago the supreme court ruled in a ludicrous case, citizens united is a corporation or people. i am a person. i got stopped at a bus stop, i got a $270 ticket. i don't think you should raise the price of the permits. i don't think you should have permits. i think you should send out the parking enforcement people and fine them [speaker not understood]. this is out of control. this is out of control system that these corporations can put as many buses on the street as they want to. it's an out of control system because what are people living in san francisco and living in san jose. every one of those trips, we're saving all this gas and fuel. no, that's not true. so, my approach is not to do this. not to legalize this program because once you legalize it, it's not going to come, it's going to put extent. you're putting l

joining us now is david becker, director of voter initiatives that worked closely with the commissionbers as they crafted their recommendations. the final reports relies on a lot of pew research. thank you for joining us. >> it's my pleasure. great to be here. >> to just to start off with, how much of an impact would the recommendations listed in the report make? how important would they be? >> well, if they were implemented by every state nationwide, they would have a tremendous impact. all of these recommendations have already been implemented in some of the states to some degree and research documents that they have an effective end result on how elections are run. they save money, they lead to more accuracy, and they satisfy voters more greatly. so if every state adopted all of these recommendations, at least to some degree, i think we would see fewer lines, fewer problems at the polls and we would see money being saved while people felt better about how well elections are run. >> well, david, you're working around the system, and trying to update ways in which we vote so it is mo

happen is that the debate will revert to us the lay expert the pontifical council not only has gary becker who is the free market champion from the university of chicago here they have people like george stiglitz who is the defender of the third way in the pontifical council of social science but the debate on this issue is i think corresponds to the best scientists said but i don't like the the government imposing their views down the throat of the catholic religion the jewish tradition or any other religion that respects human dignity ok scott what do you want to see from this pontificate ok he's off to a good start i think everyone would agree at least from what from again a p.r. perspective. right well one thing i'd like to see in this follows up on what. do you know there's not going to be a change in moral doctrine but what we need to do is to explain better to the world why those moral doctrines exist why these moral teachings of the catholic church exist and this is exactly what what francis i think has been doing and is poor posed well to do that that he is helping us to understan

serbian six time grand slam champion is targeting his fifth grand down on now with one point boris becker as his new coach. it's great to be back a i love australia i love coming back here i miss that also. you know last couple of couple weeks i've been spending a lot of time of course on the court with my team and off according to jim and doing everything necessary to get ready for a start of the season and of course the first grand slam. and on the eve of the australian open the bitch once again who knew that chocolates to journalists at the pre-tournament press conference something that's becoming a bit of a tradition while the women is defending champion victoria azarenka valorous hopes they can also maintain their winning ways at melbourne park as the twenty four year old targets her third straight title. i think you know she was she was joking i said like it became a tradition you know do this every year and this is you know there are trying our hardest to make sure we do the surgery but you know it's been fun last year as hopefully thinking. next year might not be fun for the world

going on location for us right now our national lead foreign affairs expert richard becker he weighed in on the diplomatic hustle over iran's participation in the peace meeting the things there's no objective reason to deny this right. it's hard to explain i think to anyone who isn't anyway objective why iran would have to be excluded from the top the opposition is demanding as is the united states and britain and france the they're demanding regime change as the price that syria has to pay for a solution in other words they want to bring about a whole new system inside syria a system that would be answerable to the dictates of washington why would iran be excluded because it supports the government in syria when all those who are supporting the opposition are invited to come to these talks and shows that they're really a. phoney miss about this whole process. meanwhile on the ground syrian simply added fuel to the fire of conflict now declaring autonomy in the country's north but if the civil conflict drags the divided parts of syrian society further away from each other some though

his meeting with the opposition set to take place in a few hours time the anti war activist brian becker believes the syrian rattles are not willing to make any compromises. syrian opposition has come to the conference kicking and screaming in the first place they don't really want to be there because there's nothing that they think that they can get from the conferences syrian opposition only wants one thing which is to replace the assad government with their own government include the assad government that geneva is prepared for a political settlement but won't agree in advance that the assad government will disappear or no longer be present in syria for our forces with in the assyrian armed opposition those affiliated with al qaeda those who are getting the bulk of the times from saudi arabia and some other regimes in the in the middle east. they don't look for a negotiated settlement they're not going to agree to a negotiated settlement. so it's not possible for the syrian government to see the syrian opposition is a real partner for negotiations when there are two wins two armed win

mayor becker joins me now from salt lake city. it is lovely to have you hear. >> thank you.be with you. >> so mayor, talk to me. why did you -- you know, a mayor has lots of different things on the agenda. why did you make this decision to make it a key initiative for salt lake city to end homelessness? >> well, in a society like ours, it is inexcusable, unacceptable to have homeless folks roaming our streets and out there in the cold in the winters and not having the sfort they need and shelter overhead. so this is a decision that was made by the whole community and we've been dedicated to it, as you said, for many years. >> so talk to me about that idea of the whole community. so i'm interested in how you get buy-in. you know, we're in an economic downturn. i know that salt lake city is actually doing extremely well in terms of employment at only 4% unemployment, but that said, how do you get people to say, all right, we're willing to commit municipal resources to do this. >> well, it really centers around a community, and this is an incredibly generous community. so wheth

the west will for more of this i'm joined live now by national and foreign affairs expert richard becker in the states richard why do you think there is still some interest for socialist parties socialist movements bearing in mind of course the example of the soviet union collapsing displaying the fact that the whole system was flawed. well i think that the reason that there's growing interest in socialism and i a part of that movement in the party for socialism and liberation in the united states because capitalism is leading the world and the people of the world to destruction we really only have two choices either we go on like this where a tiny handful of billionaires make all the decisions about the use of resources and production and so forth based and their maximum maximisation of their profits or we have a system that's based on meeting human needs in a sustainable long term way i think that people look at len and look back at len and if they do so objective lee and see the person who was the single most impactful leader of the twentieth century without lennon's leadership i don'

brian becker believes washington's warning about. just a new way to push on to assad's government. it's a clear indication that the obama administration is looking for other rationales other pretext to keep the pressure on the assad government and when i say pressure that's kind of euphemistic what they're really doing of course is creating a great international crime by funneling arms and weapons and money to an arms struggle in other words for mental and civil war so that they can destroy an independent nationalist government in this region of the world we've gone through this script before we saw it in iraq we saw it in libya we're seeing it in syria united states government is carrying out an armed struggle policy a civil war policy and they need to keep up public rationales also they need a way to balance against geneva but he need to find a way to continue to demonize the assad government because the ultimate goal is to get rid of assad not for a negotiated settlement it's been more than a month this is the mystery novels seize the industrial syrian town of andhra and alleged

let's bring in helene becker. you and i were going back and forth on e-mail today. i don't want to get too wonky into government regulations but you brought up something called far-117. it was rules that literally just went into effect two days ago that it sounds like may actually keep people stranded at airports longer than they would have been. can you in layman's terms explain what this change is and how it may impact our audience? >> the basic rule is pilots have to have nine hours of rest instead of eight hours of rest. they can only be scheduled for 16 hours during the day and 13 hours if they're flying overnight. once they hit their maximum time, they have to stop flying. in the past, they have been able to just determine whether they wanted to finish a trip so if they were in the middle of a trip, they could continue the trip, but now they can't even start the trip. so what you see happening today, tomorrow, over the weekend, is the effect of far-117 and bad weather. so it's hard to really pull out which -- what's causing all the cancellations. but since we'

but we are as i was sitting in the fall becker also the program although the court to determine the occasion because without education. we cannot go to a sustainable development to the dentist and a piece in the kitchen he's a really good days there as did their call. if what we eat out became its own education mortification mortification i wanted to compliment or an inch or watch the first effect won the match which is the specter of the rwandan genocide of nineteen ninety four and one of the oven startling images be seen with this deployment in some puppy is for the first time since the genocide. we have rwandan troops and french troops side by side. um you think that this marks a new air we know they were small ones and officers took part in mali that this is actual troops there in a bitter in the ina may be in the central african republic. how important is that for the score for the great lakes region and not just through some tough week. i used to these new options in the history traditions the reason for this and conditions and included in addition to crawl into one we mostly know some
