presence in brazilian universities. in order to do that successfully we need the help of brazilian universities because many brazilian universities are not equipped to take international students easily. they don't have dormitories or international student program so it tends to fall to the student to find a place to live, support networks and some students are very good at that but others aren't, others want a package deal and there are a few that are beginning to understand this and try to fashion mechanisms that will allow them to attract foreign students more easily but from elsewhere. and with the science without borders program. and between universities, and the movement of faculty and services and to break down the closed shop nature of universities when it comes to things like credit. this is our hope over time, just about exchanging students. and educational systems and laboratories research institutes, that are going to provide a much more vigorous and productive in both countries. and crises and out rage, you

i have a section for brazil, for brazilians -- i have respect for brazil and for brazilians.i am deeply committed to the u.s.-brazil relationship and building the kind of partnership i talked about. finding myself in a situation in which we were going to have to slow down what we were doing diplomatically, or look for other ways to express this partnership, what is frustrating -- it was frustrating at one level, but at the same time, these are challenges we relish because it allows us to show what we are capable of and it tests our conceptual understanding of relationships. it allows us to expand the context of our diplomatic activity. in terms of the decision yesterday, related to the fx2. congratulations to the brazilian air force. this is something they have wanted for a long time. even now, it is coming too late, but it is an important step for the brazilian air force. we are disappointed. boeing did tremendous work in brazil, and it will continue to do tremendous work. this will not affect the kind of cooperation that we have developed over time with the brazilian air fo

as do the brazilians themselves.that is going to have to take place at a variety of levels at the same time. some will be done between leaders, diplomats, intelligence officers, but some will be done more broadly and in the public sphere. one of the opportunities that has been presented to us is an ability to engage with our public about intelligence work in the 21st century. and understand what information technology means for us. if you look at the disclosures issue closely, what you have is a mapping of 21st century technology and a mapping of the internet. you have a recognition that the way we communicate is changing fundamental understandings that we have about things like privacy and individual agency and our own behavior. much of this is not related to intelligence agencies at all. it is related to large companies and how they use bulk data and metadata and how they predict and try to influence how consumers behave. in many ways, we have been offered a window into this century and it will allow us to make som

brazilians know this.they are looking for ways to build capacity as they build out there he economy. their economy. they have a useful partner in us. they need to see beyond their own immediate concerns to build out that partnership, and especially -- that partnership, especially as they move toward the world cup and the olympics. acknowledged, this is bigger than intelligence issues. this is how modern society manages the data flowing through our intelligence systems. this is going to require a or at least a thought process that is much larger than the one we have going right now. thank you very much for a brilliant exposition earlier on. it was anticipated a little bit, what i would like to ask you about. resilient starting to feel isolated on trade issues with the formation of the pacific alliance, the negotiations and others and the comments by the cni president in denver reflect some of that. the brazilians seem to be called --d by their anticipation participation and certain kinds of barriers within

presence in brazilian universities. but in order to do that successfully, we need the help of brazilian universities. because many brazilian universities are not equipped to take international students easily. they don't have dormitories, they don't have international student programs, and so it tends to fall to the student to find a place to live, networks of -- support networks, etc., etc. to -- and some young students are very good at that. but others aren't. others want kind of a more package deal. and there are a few brazilian universities that are beginning to understand this and are beginning to try to fashion mechanisms that will allow them to attract foreign students more easily not just from the united states, but from elsewhere. and one of the things that we hope to be able to do over time with the science without borders program is use what is really a student exchange program to build relationships between institutions, between universities and to use that to facilitate the movement of faculty, to facilitat

and brazilian partner. although again it's complicated to a certain extent a legal structures and rules and regulations we continue to find a way forward on that exist the potential is huge. >> i might just add that outside the private sector the gates foundation has engaged with the brazilian agriculture, abc in a program initiative program to send retired, distinguished agricultural scientists, economists to help the small farms in africa, developing's small farms farm practices in africa, a very promising effort. >> thank you. margaret. >> thank you very much. i margaret hayes and i was one of those brazilians that were brought up a long time ago. when i first went to brazil in the 1970s, one of the points of attrition between the united states and brazil was the nuclear question. more recently you mentioned the kerfye for with iran and the mullah administration itself worth. my question is, have we gotten over that previous, that last irritation and is the treaty, the south american countries, possibly

and the flow of brazilian tourist to the united states, and brazilian students to the united states. over the past 10 years, our visa demand has increased by over 600%. and it increased by 32% last year, and it continues on an upward swing, even with a brazilian economy that is slowed considerably and an exchange rate that has declined, as far as brazilian consumers and tourists are concerned, and this indicates that brazilian society is globalizing at a fast clip. that the united states still holds significant fascination for brazilians, and that brazilians are connecting broadly in the united states, whether it be as a tourist, whether it be as investors, or whether it be as exporters or importers. and in this regard i think that what we are seeing increasingly is a response in the united states of growing interest in brazil and increase in tourism, although not at the same level we are seeing on the brazilian side, but certainly a dramatic increase in business and investment areas. the traveled to the u.s. of governors, mayors, state economic development leaders, of businesses has

and the flow of brazilian tourist to the united states and brazilian students to the united states. our visa demand has increased by 600%. 32% by last year. it is continuing on an upward swing. the exchange rate has declined as far as the brazilian consumptioners and tourist are concerned. their society is globalizing at a fast clip and the united states is holding fascination for the brazilians. they are also connecting broadly in the united states in a variety of ways. in this regard, i think that what we are seeing increasingly is a response from the united states, a growing interest in brazil, increase in tourism, granted not at the same level as we see on the brazilian size. the business side is growing. we have seen an increase in the bilateral trade. and this is a trade potential that is only being barely exploited. there is a lot more that can and should be done. the focus of the relationship on building out that commercial and investment relationship has been one of the priorities of this administration and one of the priorities of secretary clinton and remains a priority o

we can try to look for brazilian partners. ultimately brazil is a country where the extent to which you have brazilian partners working with you will make it a lot easier. the advice we give to american companies when they come down is first and foremost take on the dictum that brazil is not for beginners, that it is a complex and conductivity country and in many's ways -- many ways it is like an archaeological dig. navigating that can be challenging for some businesses. but also, brazil does not for sure timers. it is not for people who are going to come in and come out. it is for people who are prepared to make a long-term commitment, simply because it does take a long time to establish yourself and to find a way forward. we believe even the direction that brazil is going and given the platform that it could be for exports into the region and beyond, it is attracted to american industries. but again, we have clear instructions from the president and from the secretary of state and the secretary of commerce, that our number o

brazilians work very hard at this. the efforts from our point of view are positive, whether it is in central america or the caribbean community. these are all efforts that facilitate dialogue and for thes that -- broader hemisphere. to ahe biggest impediment brazil that dominates south america is largely its inability to open its markets. if brazil could open its markets, the andean countries never would have done free-trade agreements with the united states, or least not with the speed that they did them. they would have done agreements with brazil. when the mexicans realize they have been organized of latin america and they were not part andhe caribbean community, they launch their own initiative, that was all about putting themselves back into the region. the most interesting diplomatic move of recent times has been mexico's joined the pacific alliance. that put mexico into south america in a way that i think many never anticipated and created the possibility of a connected series of free markets along the pacific c

. >> what can you tell me about the brazilian operation? the vote is this friday.se an investor about five percent who is trying to prevent what he sees is a 'sre sale of telecom italia brazilian unit. what is going on here is there is an expectation in the you -- in the new year it may get sold or broken up among other players in the brazilian market. where it gets tricky, particularly for regulators, is telefonica control telecom italia. it is the largest shareholder, indirectly. also operates in brazil. you can see how the regulator looks at this, even one that is not too conspiratorially minded and say this is a bit funny. there is a question of how this relationship, come -- can possibly be resolved in a way that can satisfy both shareholders and regulators in brazil and italy. on theave a shareholder program this week, and that was his point. it seems a little unfair to have both guys on the board. so much.nk you just 20 minutes from now, "surveillance" with tom keene. what are we looking at today? >> good morning. it is a monday morning. roger altman will st

he said one, snowden doesn't request asylum, two, the brazilian government said we're not consideringormal request has been made, three, u.s. media, brazil rejects asylum. so typical take on how the media is covering this. if he is not asking for a safe haven, why offer to help? >> again, snowden has always acted in the public interest. every single action that he has taken has been to further a u.s. first and foremost and a global debate about mass surveillance and the threat that it poses to democracy. he is willing to help brazil, he's willing to help germany, he's willing to help norway, he's willing to help denmark. again, when we say help, we mean act in the public interest. he's certainly not going to disclose or reveal anything that would harm our interests. in fact, he's already revealed information he has to journalists. the question is whether he will ever some day be able to testify in these countries about technology and surveillance practices. i hope that his legal situation allows him to do that some day. >> obviously the government would disagree with your take there t

stomachs remember the brazilian people wanted the world cup. this is their sport they wanted to enjoy it in the eye. and then they discovered what was going to cost them. which includes building sometimes stadium now it's like a robber barons once built the upper house so there's that. it was dilapidated bomb. in this painting each one has to question the wisdom of a government that allows people to get so excited about a sporting event like this and spend billions and billions of dollars on stadiums that will not relieve the years to any martial extent afterwards at the expense of education and development countries or country. the four dollars in rio on. i think it most significant and frightening for a fee for the world organizing body of football is that you saw these brazilian fans on the street saying. nolan were spending too much money. much to scare the be jesus out of beef in the organizers brazilians don't do that that that's that's a major takeaway from all this time beating just until your thoughts too. i'd say definitely ask patien

lee is back but this time the brazilian footballing legend is playing on screen a film about his stellar career is aiming to give brazil into the spirit of the world cup. it tells the story of how things are healing but still became one of the world's top teams. did you meet your hero. when he is just an everyday person and it's much easier to identify and relate with that journey. if you can identify and relate that the starting point. six months before the first match of the tournament kicks off brazil is already in the grips of world cup fever many international stars turned out to the killing of the official legal. shadow was cast over preparations for the world cup last week when two construction workers building a stadium in sao paolo night after being struck by a falling crane for safety conditions and at least intended for self image abroad. some people are all pretty critical of the world cup saying it's a waste of money. they're against the repercussions are only spend one whole day the consumption of the rubble brazil is standing sunscreen can read here are some world cup. mos
