never when you say it has been done, what has never been done? we have people of a cultural dynamics. tavis: color. in a positionare that they need to come together in a way i have not seen before. john sayles has written a masterful piece of work. now, will people see it? i do not even think people will know about it. is it was not for you and a few people who saw it and said, wait a minute, this is important, it will be very difficult, and all i can tell you is that the story deals with them other looking for her son and needs help, so she goes to an old friend. when they were in high school, people would say that you guys could go for sisters, and then both of them head out to try to get to tijuana and go to mexico, and they need help, and they but i am blind. did you know that? tavis: i did. counting the money. you could tell. macular degeneration at its highest form. to make people who are looking right now and understand

so the secretary general has been affective in where he has been in terms of what he has been doing. it is reflected in the amount of money that has been mobilized because he has been on the phone going the resources we need. in terms of the plans going forward, secretary jep general and valerie amos have discussed next steps. and valerie amos left to fill commitments in the gulf countries and these are important relationships we have there. they are being generous. and she is going back to the philippians on monday to follow up on what she was doing this week to make sure everything that can be done is combgetting done. and there is a number of other executives there. so there is a maximum use of time and resources in the most effective way. i don't think the general can do anything my his presence out there. we have not asked him to go because we have asked him to help us with other aspects and he has been doing that. >> george? >> george is my name. and i am sure you are heard there is an isralael organizati that is deploying an aircraft and 142 or more medical and specially train

there are 44 that have been hit. we can only imagine the scale that exists across the center of this country, and as the days and weeks go on, burying the dead will be a prior to because of disease and the fear of contamination to the water, groundwater sources there. what has happened in the past in this country is that the dead are brought to government centers where they are laid out on the ground for viewing by the public. the public is encouraged to come to these centers and walk amongst the dead, identify family members and friends before those that remain have been placed into a mass burial. now, that is likely to happen this time, but it won't be for several days many bodies are lying on the streets and where they have been found, aide workers have been placing plastic over them to try to contain the disease. >> the timing of this is not that there is ever a good time for something this horrible to happen, but it comes just after there was this terrible earthquake last month. how is this making rescue efforts

germany has been fuming over allegations that angela merkel cell phone could have been kept since two thousand and two three years before she became chancellor. one of the country's amp's wants edward snowed in to testify on the matter because he doesn't trust us intelligence officials. don't you do you think i'd die. i think it's important to work together with mr snow in rather than putting him in prison he always liked more clarity on these allegations someone to make sure something like this it doesn't happen again. snow in the world for many years for the cit and an essay so i'm sure he can tell us everything we need to know about the leaked documents because as we've seen the nsa has been very scarce with providing information. i also think that the organization including nsc chief keith alexander aren't always be truthful they want to claim they'll never bring german laws and their surveillance operations but tapping the chancellor's ford is not legal. that's why i have trouble trusting u s intelligence official the quiet american security officials and policymakers have been p

a new law banning street protests without prior police notification has been issued in egypt it's been condemned as repressive by human rights groups many believe the measure is aimed at supporters of ousted president morsi you have been staging almost daily protests since his removal from power in july egypt has been in turmoil since the twenty eleven uprising which the post president. now vote for scottish independence would mean breaking away from most of the u.k.'s institutions even the pound according to some scottish politicians edinburgh has named the twenty fourth of march twenty sixth as independence day significance is the date when the acts of union between scotland and england were signed more than three hundred years ago but the idea of separation is strongly opposed in london with parliament warning it won't make it easy for scotland to leave chester a syria has more. should scotland be an independent country it's a six word question that requires a simple yes or no but breaking a three hundred year old doing it could hardly be simple and the scots are not taking it light

which has been looted by the country as a shell game and. international news live from moscow this is r.c. with me. thanks for trying. u.s. troops may remain immune to laws and still be carrying out military operations after the end of their combat mission in twenty fourteen that's what a draft security deal suggests they are going president is urging the assembly of the country's elders to support it but that's while admitting there is little trance between him and washington the loya jirgah council has started debating the draft guiding the role of american troops in afghanistan after there was draw according to the freshly agreement up to sixteen thousand u.s. soldiers will stay for ten more years and possibly beyond they will be playing a support role than forces while still being able to carry out military operations against al qaeda and its affiliates which also includes a rating of good homes and expect exceptional circumstances and he she which has been extremely difficult for afghans and he is another stumbling block the deal gives

vehicles had been banned from the road for 24 hours.0,000 armed personnel have been deployed across the country. this was after a coalition of 33 parties threatened to interrupt the elections. despite the disturbans, former u.s. president jimmy carter is confident. >> i think the ones that had a more radical or extreme views in the past have come towards the middle, so they can understand each other and cooperate better. i think there's a better chance now of being successful than at the end of the 2008 election. >> reporter: to make that happen, politicians were out early to vote promising a change for the better if elected. >> make people feel and realize that things have changed and moving in a positive direction. >> reporter: this is the first time that a country has elected a second national assembly to write a new constitution because the first one failed. politicians have now given themselves another four years to get it right. but whether they do or not will depend on whether they can make the right decisions that will benefit t
