one that is very important is the into marriages between the two sides.ascinated by the figure you mentioned. what is the incidence of marriage between indonesian people and taiwanese people? do you remember the number roughly? do you remember the number that comes to your office? >> roughly is about 30,000. there is a sister city between indonesia and taiwan. they want to marry indonesians. taiwan is afraid of an aging population. >> it is a problem. >> most of the females in taiwan do not want to give birth. >> we are at the lowest birthrate. >> in order to have more children, they marry others. they married japanese. they married indonesian's. they marry chinese. culturally, they are married because they saare chinese, but they have been moving from china for generations. they are the same culture, the same religion. that is good. that is good for them. that is why the intermarriage is much easier and more developed between our people. it is good for the government also. >> you are very kind and modest. i think a lot of people marry people from indones

and i get to work between 8:30 and 9:00. sop i dressed super early today. >> reporter: walnut creek is one of four bus locations offering charter buses. the charter buses will run between 5:00 a.m. the first one just arriving and until 9:00 a.m. and then from 3:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m.. there are not any set times for when the buses will arrive. they will make loops based on traffic. large crowd out here this morning that. >>> muni is also preparing for extra passengers. hewn know will prioritize service on the -- they are the two for mayor roadways have been if zillion track -- clipper e-cash can be used on samtran and cal train. samtran customers should look for their regular buses at temporary stops. >>> many bay area commuters can remember the last time bart workers went on strike. that was september 1997 and that was the result. traffic all across the bay area a nightmare during that six-day strike. but back in 1997 he carried 1225 passengers a day. the good news may be this new strike is in july. not september. and there a

how they do business and how they see the relationship between between germany and russia with fifty four percent of them saying that the relationship has deteriorated in recent times now fifty percent of those who were polled said the reason for that to tear ration was the foreign policy of chancellor angela merkel and the fact that russia hadn't been given the required importance in that foreign policy. germany is russia's major trading partner in europe it's billions worth of euros of trade between the two countries free every year so it's seriously a quite a big deal economically also this could be seen as something of a a warning shot to chancellor merkel there is an election coming up in september and her main opposition in that election is. now he has called for a change of attitudes towards russia saying that germany should be less competitive and more understanding to its russian partners and this is what's been echoed by the business leaders as the director of this committee for eastern european economic relations told me those jobs that generated by the russian market are

so that's why so many issues arise between the two the countries. it's critical that both sides work on their relative perspectives. i hope to hold ministerial or top level meetings without any conditions as soon as possible. >> abe also stressed that south korea is one of japan's most important neighbors and that both countries share basic values and interests. he said he wants to steadily develop bilateral ties through dialogue in a qualm and quiet atmosphere. abe has not been to either china or south korea since becoming prime minister in december of last year. >>> in an earlier meeting, prime minister abe told philippine president benigno aquino that japan will help his country in improving maritime security. abe stopped over in manila on saturday after visiting malaysia and singapore. abe referred to south china sea territorial disputes between china and southeast asian countries including the philippines. he said all countries should observe international law and refrain from any unilateral action. abe also said japan will use official develop

you have at that point the local war face between 68 and early 1990s. the koreans are extremely angry. he wants to retaliate. the americans are trying to restrain him. on the other hand son did these provocative actions, the blue house raid the pueblo and an assassination attempt and 74 which kills pack's wife and the attempted assassination. in a series of events as well as terrorist flight 858. that period is really about the struggle between north and south korea and the attempt by the superpowers to restrain them from starting another korean war and then of course the last page is the post-war period. again the geopolitical situation changes. the end of the cold war, the end of the soviet union in 1991 and north korea's economy goes into a terrible slump, a terrible famine so now the conflict is in between north and south korea per se but north korea in the world. it's the nuclear issue that becomes the issue, sort of the legacy of the korean war. in a sense they are all distinct periods and they are all linked because they are part of the korean wa

leadership strike to rein in their supporters there's a very deep underlying political divide here between the secularists and the islamists with intimacy and this is really all about determining the nature of what tunis is going to look like socially as well as politically following the uprising of the revolution so it's a very contested area that is likely to be polarizing people very much already and i think the assassination is just going to bring that to the fore once again. coming up after the break ups on our boy casts of the questions on the syrian conflict. we speak your language as i think about the war not advance. news programs and documentaries in spanish what matters to you. the eternity of angles keep these stories. here to. try to alter the spanish find out more visit actuality on t.v. dot com. oh and while. controls of heart humanitarian concerns have been thought of in syria to justify all sorts of military actions with the distinction between combatants and civilians purposeful is learned how much more difficult has it made the provision of help to those who desperately

so local war phase between 1968 and early 1990s. the current -- extremely angry, wants to retaliate. the americans have come to restrain him and then kim sung, and '83, the attempted assassination, and a series of events and terrorist -- the flight 858, for example, into the '80s, so that period is' the struggles between north and south core -- korea and trying to restrain them from starting another war. the end of the cold war, end of the soviet union in 1991, and north korea's economy going into a terrible slump, terrible famine, and so now the conflict it between north korea and the world. and nuclear issues becomes the issue, sort of the legacy of the korean war. so in a sense they're all distinct periods, all linked because they're part of the korean war. but they're distinct. so the -- the second themees there was an ongoing conflict between south and north korea. and and that conflict between the south and the north continues, and the war changed and evolved. >> host: really, the war, unfinished business between north and sou

actually happening in syria because they will what is actually happening is a very brutal civil war now between the government and their supporters and the rebels and their supporters and now both sides are clearly guilty of. regarding civilians as an incidental collateral damage if you like i think it's probably true to say that most of the casualties we're talking about around one hundred thousand most of the casualties have been civilians and very many of them it's very hard to say how many have been killed by the the government tactics of fighting the war by shelling and bombing civilian towns because that's where they believe the rebels are i think what's crucial in the western narrative on the syrian conflict is that the line between combatants and civilians is really really blurred and i think i would argue that it is done for political reasons because one we have quite a mother who is nursing her baby somewhere in homes and her male neighbor with a kalashnikov who is a attacking in nearby army checkpoint you know these two people they may have the same political goals and aspirations bu

day the german business community it's a bit unhappy with how relations between moscow developing and they're blaming chancellor merkel a group lobbying for the interests of germany's economy in eastern europe now criticizing politicians and the media for the negative portrayal of russia he's pretty one of a textbook. over the last twenty years or so russia and germany have become firm economic partners however in recent months there has been something of a cooling in the diplomatic relationship between berlin and moscow now to talk to me a little bit more about what that means and how it came down time joined by dr. lynn the director of an organization that takes the economic temperature of the relationship between the two countries now your organization of just published some information about the relationship between germany and russia and it seems that there has been a deterioration in that relationship why that happened and of course there are some cooling as you mentioned in the political relationship but as you know the economy still isn't a good shape we had a turnover of eigh

rebels are i think what's crucial in the western narrative on the syrian conflict is that the line between combatants and civilians is really really blurred and i think i would argue that it is done for political reasons because when we had quite a mother who is nursing her baby somewhere in homes and her male neighbor with a kalashnikov who is attacking in nearby army checkpoint you know these two people they may have the same political goals and aspirations but one has taken up arms and they were the other one didn't isn't that the core distinction between combatants and civilians well the distinction is between those who have taken up arms and are using them actively they are if you like legitimate targets for the regime trying to defend itself but what is not acceptable is to simply attack civilian areas because that's where the rebels are hiding and say well it's not my fault if i kill civilians because a still responsibility under international humanitarian law for any force whether it's the rebels all the government to try to make a distinction between combatants and civilians that'

test -- between the two men. this leads to macarthur being accused of insubordination and being dismissed. i think ultimately it was a good decision by the truman administration. you had a general who was advocating policies that were just too extreme and were in many ways dangerous. it may well have led to world war iii. it is in this latter stage of the conflict that macarthur's judgment were not very good. guest: we have if you're asking about the u.s. intention. was it used as an excuse to enter the war? host: i do not think the nets it ever intended to invade china.-- the united states ever intended to invade china. i think they did do something that made his chinese -- that made the chinese very concerned. immediately after the north korean invasion of south korea harry truman sent the u.s. seventh fleet into the taiwan strait. china was still hoping that it would be able to launch its own amphibious assault on taiwan and reunify them with the mainland. the dispatch of the seventh fleet prevented this. this

a proposed pipeline between canadian and u.s. refineries on the gulf of mexico has faced stiff opposition from environmentalists. they say production of vast petroleum reserves will accelerate climate change. canada ranks third in terms of the world's proven crude oil reserves, just after saudi arabia and venezuela. thef december 2012, province of alberta has about 170 billion barrels of oil or about 11% of world reserves of 99% of canada's reserves are found in alberta. in the first of our three part series, we look at the growing reliance on canada's energy exports. awaiting a president's decision, fields on both sides of the border are stacked with pipes. once in the ground, they will take root from alberta's oil sands to u.s. refineries more than 800,000 barrels a day. the company building the keystone xl pipeline says it has waited five years for approval, and that is long enough. >> oilsands reduction is going from about 2 million barrels a day to day to over 6 million barrels a day over the next 15 years. so, canada needs

then the chinese military is on high alert between -- after riots between ethnic groups in the western province. of theor the stability fragile economy as saudi arabia expelled thousands of migrants. egyptians of deposed president protesting in cairo thousands have turned in a district in the capital. the military says it will respect peaceful protests. the african union has suspended egypt from all activities following the military coup. police in peru have fired teargas and water cannons at students. they're angry about efforts to reform the university system. latin-american leaders are demanding a public apology from european countries. they're angry because the bolivian president's airplane was forced to land in vienna. and with snowden was suspected of being on board but he was not. let's return to the mass protest in egypt. isenior political analyst with us. there are thousands of people there. they are angry. they voted this man in democratically. he is nowhere to be seen. how do you think this will play out? >> there is more than one scenario. it depends entirely on how the egy

between 1995 and 1997, and again between 2000 and 2001. the diplomat emigrated to the u.s. 30 years ago and joined the powerful lobby group. two years later, they became the founding director of the policy and has recently been working as head of foreign policy at the brookings institute. we have the latest from the u.s. state department. >> on monday, the obama administration said the former ambassador would be the point person on this latest round of palestinian peace talks. he used to be the ambassador to israel and is going to reprocess that has faced a lot of challenges the last few years. amid ongoing concerns about palestinian borders and whether they would respect the pre-1967 lines and the ongoing concerns on both sides. he said he was trying to find a way to help to people actually achieve a longtime goal of theirs. to you deeply grateful and president obama entrusting me with helping you take this a breakthrough at turn it into a full fledged israeli-palestinian peace agreement. it is a daunting and humbling challenge that i can

we can't get past snowden edward snowden has intentionally or unintentionally but the relationship between russia and the united states on ice the fact is that whistleblower weighs on russian territory and is asking for an asylum while the united states is demanding immediate arrest and extradition in the current lot of uncertainty and children and between the two states what is really at risk. a legacy of slavery. u.s. ties are continuously tested never more so than now this squabble over snowden has fuels the crossfire well president seeks to preserve partnership and promote peace one of the sore points in the relationship to the post cold war giant's catch the same way. what does it state for russia and america and for the international community as a whole. so our guest is stephen cohen professor of russian studies and history at new york university and princeton university steven it's really great to have you with us today i'm happy to be with you so at this point who is snowden more of a problem for the united states or russia. well in my perspective he's a problem for both if we put

between units above and below also. the concrete floors are very good at deadening air-form sounds, but impact sounds are harder to control. you could imagine a shoe reverberating through there, so we have to provide padding through hard finish material such as title or sheet vinyl to death in the sound. -- to daeden that sound. >> that means there is a specific floor assembly that goes down. maybe a carpet with pad. people 5, 10 years from now say i will replace the carpet or the linoleum, they do not fully understand that as part of the sound transmission assembly, required by the code, and to protect them. in many cases we see lawsuits from the generation of sound transmission. also, the walls between dwelling units, they are making the walls out of light gauge metal studs. in order to make the sound transmission work, you have to do these exactly right. you have to have the sound isolation between the sheet rock and the stud, and stud and the sheet rock on the other side. how are you doing that? >> we have a couple

reason why panama with children was because it was the shortest distance between the land. so why would anybody want to do a new you know that is actually going from you to the west coast we just doesn't make any sense. but the investors behind the project insist that world trade needs a new worries and that the panama canal is not enough to handle the trade already conducted between the east and west so those who are laughing at the project right now might just have to change their tune if this game changing project succeeds. russia's city of cazan is pushing on its best face as the twenty seventh world universe to games are set to kick off with a spectacular putting so many presided over by president reggie repairs and as organizers apply the finishing touches also he's pole scald took a walk around the bank. export not more than thirteen thousand from one hundred seventy different countries to descend on the majority of them staying here this is the university village a purpose built brand new university complex in the city center despite the fact that the authorities sa

there is the division between hamas and fatah and divisions between fatah itself and there are divisions within fatah and the other factions, so it is very hard to see something immediately responding to this initiative by the secretary of state. >> rose: okay. >> there is a real problem in that department. >> rose: i want to come back to all of this. some people raise this question. why is the secretary of state spending time on this seemingly intractable issue when you have got a war in syria and an egypt, you have got a government that you do not know where it is going and what its components are? you know, one of the things that are going for this administration for secretary kerry and the president is that they understand how central this israeli-palestinian issue is to the united states. this issue is not the problems of egypt or syria or tunisia but it is the prism of pain through which arabs see america and we see that over the whole decade of information on how it is that this is the one that -- is the central one for arabs passing judgment, that's why, by the way in egypt or in

>> we made that distinction between diluting between the two. we will see in october. >> it is further evidence of the abuse of being able to take a tuneup. and ask on that. it reflects on the discussions that we have had that the progress towards banking the union -- is breaking the link between sovereign and banks. it is not going to be made through a single initiative or change. various components of banking are themselves a risk. we have started with a resolution and there are others to follow. it is collectively an answer to this problem. within each one, there are questions that need to be resolved. not the least among them is of he eurozone. those we discussed in this committee before. he question of -- the legacy or about arrangements for the future. it is clearly an important one. t has not been resolved. it will be a major part of discussions through the months ahead. in terms of the question of dilution versus interruption of breaking, i would see it this way. i would like to hear from you. given there is not a single policy, a single

plane and really with the fuel we were able to find what seems to be courting of the conversation between the pilots and a traffic controller at the austrian airport let's listen in. do you need any assistance not at this moment we need to learn because we cannot get a correct indication of the few level we need to land now anonymously several european officials have denied that the air space of these countries was blocked for the presidential flight but as a result they were allowed to conduct an emergency landing in austria but only after the fuel began dangerously running out we were able to speak to the believe in defense minister who was on that flight while they were still at the airport in vienna here's what he said about the situation. a flight path was initially approved but the spanish authorities contacted us saying we were no longer authorized to land on the territory of a spanish airport initially it was otherwise and we have permission to land at an airport on the canary islands for refueling. now frankly all of this is quite unusual but we'll see even more extraordinary is

so that period is about the struggle between north and south korea. the attempt was to pray them from starting another korean war. of course the last phase is the post-cold war period area in and the geopolitical situation changes. the end of the cold war. the end of the soviet union. here north korea's economy goes into a terrible famine. so then it is north korea and the world. the nuclear issue becomes the issue for this lady free of the war. so in this they are all linked because they are part of this. it is a legacy. so the reasons for the korean war have not really change. that is one of the second thing that we have talked about. in which there is an ongoing conflict between north and south korea for legitimacy. that is why it started in the first place. we wanted to unify the south under his control. welcome in the various phases. >> host: the war is a continuous and unfinished business between north and south korea, but in the context, there are incredible changes in the international context. >> guest: that is correct. >> host: so it's very

white britons and between muslims living in the u.k. do you envisage these sorts of tensions getting worse in the u.k. and i think certainly we're seeing localized areas where there are where there are heightened tensions particularly where. i think general. theory of a clash of civilizations will more take place take root to the united kingdom but a lot of the incidences of coups and localized issues of localized tensions particularly with the english defense league that comes in and tries to manipulate those tensions we should approach which and other areas so really low clouds tensions within the national picture of. these kind of issues play a much more why the level struggle thank you very much for your comments. well the investigation into this incident at the mosque in ted turner still underway is being treated as an attempted terrorist attack and already a number of muslims in the area as i said saying that they feel extremely unsafe in the light of the most recent attack or straight to iraq not open up. more than thirty people

lynn the director of an organization that takes the economic temperature of the relationship between the two countries now your organization of just published information about the relationship between germany and russia and it seems that there has been a deterioration in that relationship why is that happened and of course there are some cooling as you mentioned in the political relationship but as you know the economy still isn't a good shape we had a turnover of eight billion euros last year in two thousand and twelve and i think we keep on going in this road now is this down to the personal politics of some german politicians has this is merkel essentially got her policy wrong when it comes to dealing with russia i think she will make some clear statements also to the russian society that is what germany stands for what you know our business is really to to have the dominant to have the relationship very close and i cannot make ties we have a lot of energy ties we have thirty percent of our energy comes from russia that it true for germany and for the european union but also we w
