some of these groups are targeting britain. i have to repeat that the main center, the at the center of global terrorism -- epicenter is the border between pakistan and afghanistan. the efforts we put their with the political and military strategy are the most important thing we can do. we will not neglect the importance of yemen and its dangers. but the important center of global terrorism remains the one we have been talking about today. >> the prime minister always mentions of the sacrifice given by soldiers, but sadly isn't this repeating the situation from the states adecades ago as with vietnam? we want to withdraw, boat we keep going closer and closer to accomplish that cannot be one. >> look at the support for the taliban in of in the standing of his assumption is that somehow the insurgency has massive popular support and the vast majority of the population would go with that insurgency if they have the choice. i do not think it reflects the situation in of in a stand. a poll was done recently that said only 8% of the

by 1815, following the second war with great britain which is often referred to as a second war of independence independence, these insignificant problems had become a single giant, in a republic with nearly 10 million citizens, many of whom had already spilled over the appellations into the western territories. a cultural focus of this new, huge expansive nation was no longer a broad. it was instead directed inward at its own boundless possibilities. americans knew they were grand experiment of democracy, but they were competent that by their own efforts remake their culture, re-create what they were. re-create their beliefs, their thoughts. the revolution told him that it did not limit what they might become, hence the important again to indicate agitation to conduct, i think this trade has more publications on education per capita, relative to population, than at any time in our history.

but most governors were appointed by great britain. so that's something new here and they had to provide a successor to the presidency, and they came up with this office. they assumed that the vice president would be a significant national figure. i say this because the method of elections in the electoral college assumed that and to the original rules, each elector in the electoral college had two votes, and they were not going to the president and vice president, but they were both president. the rules that were each elector had two votes, and one of them had to be for a candidate at said their state. but as i said, they both worked for the president. the second-highest number of votes would be the vice president. it was clear that the vice president would be a well-known national figure. moreover, the framers of the constitution sassumed that most

that is why we are there to protect the streets of britain. i was right to ask president karzai to give us assurances about how in his second term he would tackle corruption. he has now announced an anticorruption task force. i gather 12 people have been arrested yesterday from within the core administration. at the same time, i've asked him to appoint district and regional governors and he has agreed to do so that are free of corruption and will deal with the problems of hand that the governor is dealing with helmand. the test i have sent to president karzai. he's met by speeches and now they have to be met by delivery. next week, i believe, we will see the american government and the rest of nato coming together in a strategy that will mean we will have the fs

this is the oldest military corps in existence in britain. they were created by henry the 7th back in 1485. that explains the tudor uniforms. lots of those members are former military physician. but the captain of them is always a chief appointee. he is the deputy whip. so he is among them at the moment. it is still too early to tell how the events of the past year will affect the choices people make on election day. one of the intriguing issues is the effect on young voters. let's go straight to birmingham. claire marshall is there for us. >> i am here with three young people, all of whom study here at the university, and all of whom will vote for the first time in the next election. let me introduce you to these three. challenge you for joining us. it has been a difficult year for politicians. how do you feel about them? >> a lot of people are dissolutioned about politics and it is sad. personally i'm quite in favor of it. i am looking forward to politics in the next year because i think today we are going to outline policy for local people

newer and better helicopters and numbers coming from britain. he talked about having a plan for the reintegration of the taliban. he talked about a larger economic commitment from great britain. but that would be conditional upon a plan to reduce corruption in the afghan government. and he talked about this all being contingent about nato and the international community, also supporting and coming through with additional kinds of support and commitments on the part of the international community. and then he said at the end of that, and we would also increase the number of troops as one of a large number of factors. we would increase the number of troops, conditional upon all those other things happening from 9,000 to 9,500. that's a very modest increase. i would hope that any increase, combat forces that the president decides upon would be that modest if it comes at all. >> senator levine. there have been a lot of holes out saying that the u.s. public is not very supportive of the afghan mission. how many more military death do you think the u.

the royal gallery itself, the oldest military court in existence in britain. there were created by henry vii back and 1345 -- 1745. the captain of the yeoman is always a political appointee, the deputy chief whip. but the of color in ceremony. still too early to tell how the events of the past year -- what we have been talking about -- will affect the choices that people will make an election day. one of the issue is the effect on young vote, those taking part in an election for the star first time. -- for the first time. >> i am with three young people, all of them study here at the university, and who will vote for the first time in the next election. let me introduce you to them. 80 so much for joining us. fabian, a difficult year for politicians. had you feel about them at the moment? the boilers it is quite sad because politics is now about the personality people other hand writing. that is why people are disillusioned. i am looking forward to politics because i think they can outline how people can be battered in the workplace and attacking unemployment.

>> we are in the country because of the threat to britain. a threat that has been seen over eight years as a result of projected and actual terrorist offenses in our country. >> now from london, "prime minister's questions" from the british house of commons. this week gordon brown answered questions on the british involvement in afghanistan. mr. brown announced this week that 10 nato nations are ready to send about 5,000 troops to afghanistan. they questioned about the iraq secrecy and asked about how the government was responding to recent floods in the u.k. >> doctor, refer to blackmon woods. >> before listing my engagements this week, i am sure the house will wish to join me to paying tribute to sergeant robert dixon from the fourth regiment, who has died in afghanistan. the debt of gratitude we owe him is permanent, and we send our condolences to his family and friends. he and the sacrifice he has made will not be forgotten. all of us i believe will want to pay tribute to police constable big barker who tragically died in the course of du

and james madison declared war on necessarily on britain which had just signed a peace treaty. those three presidents left the nation still threatened on the north by british troops, threatened on the south and threatened in the west as indian tribes slaughtered farmers. it took monroe to end those threats and leave the still small, still poor, still undeveloped nation to greatness. it took monroe to transform that little nation into an entire. along the way to greet miss monroe fell in love with and married a beautiful elizabeth kortright, a new york eris who unlike most women every day had received a magnificent education in the arts, history and literature. she could hold her own with the best educated men of her era. theirs was perhaps the greatest wealth affair in white house history. you talk about passion let me put it this way the history book club put the monroe story on the front cover and first two pages of its christmas catalog. it buried bill clinton and monica lewinsky on the inside.

our greatest contribution to the european war for the first two years of the war was material to britain and russia, and it was in washington with the help of some anti-communist russian friends and mensheviks actually that the possibility of defection became lively and in 1944 while the war was still on he defected although we didn't use that word then. >> host: end defection was a difficult thing because in that particular year in our chronology we were allies with russia, so it was a little bit different from -- >> guest: absolutely. kravchenko was a pioneer in many different ways, and he pulled this off marvelously. one thing i go into that is an important part of the book and relates specifically to kravchenko has to do with the european scene. >> host: yes, let's mention first the title of his book which is "i chose freedom." and then let's do talk about the kravchenko case. >> guest: okay. right. his book is a straight autobiography. it is called "i chose freedom" and he wrote this in a two year period beginning in april, 1944, comes out 1946. kravchenko was an engineer. he didn't

in britain. this goes back to the first point about seeing our system more unified than it really is. it comes up later on and you see that there is some anger currently right now with barack obama because of this. of course, this was very naive and interesting that obamas election solved american race problems. the reason that europeans were so interested in obama in particular is exactly because -- we had a conversation before -- that was certainly the most important component but there were just as impressed that we would pick somebody cool, frankly. immediately after this happened the british press was consumed with the question of whether there would be a british obama. they're concerned about whether minorities have the kind of chances in their system that a minority candidate did in the american context. this was a surprising comparison because the minority population throughout europe and especially in the uk do not compare to the kind of diversity we have. nevertheless, a lot more attent

that's what he's trying to make the equal of france and britain on their own terms. and that competed with jefferson's vision, through public and asian of a limited state with little or no taxation and no standing army. nothing like a european state at all. and they have different conceptions of what worship you, republicans want to avoid war and they want an alternative to war, and they chose what we now call economic sanctions. jefferson's grand experiment, his liberal experiment with the embargo of 1807, 1808, those 18 months of that embargo was he brought a grand experiment, web offering the world an alternative to the miseries of military force. and we are still using that. that's what we're talking about with iran. that's what we still cling to, economic sections as an alternative, to the brutalities of the outright use of military force. hambleton thought this was a pie in the sky dreaming. this was a real competition. these two men personally but also intellectually, what they represented, vision of what the united states might be. at the same time, jefferson

we are promoting to used to use this service, to use it so that co2 levels in britain can be lowered, rather than using private transport. >> today we have heard the reasons for and against what young people should have free public transport. that is not to say that people aged 60 and above should not be entitled to free transport. at the nyp from the southwest, free transport to get them to school to then make money will help the school, so surely this is a good thing. many older people can no longer drive. -- isolated areas and rural areas, public transportation is the only way to get to areas that art and accessible. things that we use every day, these are all in interest to age groups and available to those who live in large cities, but not rural areas. we heard someone say he paid 250 pounds to get to school, but then to be late. why is he paying this much, when he cannot actually get there on time? yet the government, the general public, and the media continue to hang up -- complaint about young people hanging on the street corners. facilities are open at times that young people

britain's top bankers rewarded their own financial greed and incompetence with large bonus while imposing huge banking charges on those who because of need not greed often went into the red. i'm sure many members were dismayed at today's supreme court judgment. what will this government be doing to ensure fairness for ordinary people, ordinary customers within the banking system? >> she's absolutely right to raise the anxieties that people have had about the system of bank charges in our country. and while the court judgment has not upheld the case of the office of fair trading it is right how to examine all cases who are banking customers in this country. as far as the bank that we are responsible for at this moment, we have asked them to -- and they have reviewed their overdraft charges over the last few weeks so that they can be fairer to the customers who are part of their banks. as far as the financial services bill, however, which is now before the house, there is a fund to be set up with banks to deal with customers of overcharging. there is a possibility of class actions being hel

that is why we are there, to protect the streets of britain. i was asked to ask of president karzai to give us assurances about how in his second term he would tackle crungs. he has now announced an anti-horsepower corruption task force. i gather 12 people have been arrested. at the same time i have asked him to appoint district and regional governor ors. and he has -- governors, and he has agreed to do so. the test i have said for president karzai he has met by speeches, and now we have so see them being met in the delivery. next week, we will see the american government and the rest of nato coming to go in a strategy, so that we can create the space for a political solution in afghanistan that our streets will be safer. it is as clear as. that >> the prime minister will be aware of the warning by the top cop of the dangers -- the police commissioners. can the prime minister tell the house whether this labor government will ever allow the police to be politicized as the conservatives have promised. >> mr. speaker, the operational independence

i would like to say things to gordon for that input on great britain. having been an international flight attendant for 25 years i have been around the world, and i have seen the health care in other countries. i would say that is an expedited process. a few years back i could not get a seasonal flu shot in the u.s. because we were short supplies. i was able to go on a layover in amsterdam, walking to a medical clinic, and got my flu shot there. it was great. host: how which did it cost you? caller: it was 9 year reruos, $2 usd. i did not even have to submit any insurance for that. but i do volunteer at our local soup kitchen here in albany two nights per week and i know that these people are being fed 16,000 calorie meals. . . former republican presidential candidate. on face the nation from cbs. bob sheafer with senator services committee and former house majority leader dick army and congressional candidate and republican strategist edgy less i and c mark ndsann state of th with richard galu ger and jack reid from rhode island and house appropriation

if only britain had been able to land the force on the continent that would deter germany before world war one. they are immensely difficult. immensely dangerous. if the actions had been taken, people would blame them for doing it. this is what of those things that of course, it is terribly difficult, but i do believe that as we look back on those episodes, if we look back on this and say that we did not stop iran from getting nuclear weapons, we will consider it a missed element with big consequences. what is interesting to me is that the breadth of opinion runs from the right to all the way to the non-proliferation. some of the most fervent in the administration are about non- proliferation. you'll get tremendous proliferation following a iran. people see venezuela or brazil drizzling -- pursuing nuclear weapons. the notion that iran can go ahead and do this without consequences is astounding. if something is unacceptable, you have to do [unintelligible] >> is there anyone there really thinks that when the administration says that is unacceptable, will they do anything about it? it i

britain is somewhere in the relegation places of the world league table of physical activity. for me there's no reason for that and it actually doesn't cost any public money to lift britain from its current place closer to the levels of activity in netherlands, germany, and scandinavia. in my department, the interest in my department will absolutely be foursquare with interest a rat department. there is no differentiation here. there is no conflict team and it's really starting to align government and really using all of its way around those same object is where they could make the transfer system flow more quickly. we can get people healthier and then we can encourage people to reduce their carbon. government has got to get a bit better at that, a bit more focused on how it is doing. we just bought a cycle to work scheme. we all came together and when the combined power of government departments get together you can begin to make significant change and leave some behavior change. that it does make that kind of conservative action taken on both in the past we have not enough.

britain has the capability, the soviet union, the russia has a capability of 40 million, 50 million americans. united states has the came of eliminating costa rica from the map. so the point is that we don't worry about any of those things because there is no intention to do so. it's not that there isn't capability of doing that. huge countries, militarily powerful countries, have lived next door to very small military, uninterested countries for very long tames and could take them out any time we wanted to. we could attack canada, and they're not even looking in the right direction. but the can dance don't seem to be terribly worried about that. so i think intentions are really what matters, not capabilities. and in the case of the soviet union, it's very clear, they said it repeatedly, i mean, 20 billion times, they were anti-status quo, they didn't to want change the world, and they wanted to use revolution, they want to use class warfare, subversion, they would sometimes use limited military on the edge in the case that was free and got out of hand. by a surrogate. but that's it. they rep

britain is somewhere in the relegation places of the world league table of physical activity. for me there is no reason for that and it does not cost any public money to lift britain from its current place closer to the levels of physical activity in the netherlands, germany and scandinavia so that for me it's an area where the interest of my department like absolutely foursquare with the interest of the department. there is no differentiation here. there is no conflict in incentives and it is starting to line and all of its weight around the same objectives where they can make the transport system flow more quickly, we can get people healthier and encourage people to reduce their carbon. the government has got to get a bit more focused on how it is doing. we just launched a cycle to work scheme but we all came together and it is when the combined power of the government departments, the three together you can begin to make significant change in lead to some behavior change but it does need that concerted action. ki-taek-- we have not done enough but clearly it is now. >> a lo

. >> but in fact, we cut of great britain, refused to let them share in or that we were getting from south africa after the war, even though we had agreed to do so. it was a great scandal at the term. in fact, it was our refusal to cooperate with great britain that i think led to the decision that they were going to develop an independent weapon and did so. >> audience member would like to know how close we came to dropping a bomb on germany, how serious we were about that. >> i think very serious if a bomb had been available for use. the bomb was developed to be used against hitler's germany, so i think it is quite reasonable to suggest that was the military planning, but, of course, the war in europe ended in the first week of may, and, of course, the tests came in july. >> the question on moral qualms, this is one of the murky areas. for many of the refugee scientists, basically, there was no moral qualms about dropping in on the third reich. many of the refugees scientists have more moral qualms about using it against the japanese. interestingly enough, it complicated the picture

we must build a smarter and bigger electric britain to better harness' efficiency. a smarter grid will let us see our energy use, measure it, price it, and manage it we're looking to advance this on several fronts. engineers have developed a simple, secure in free software tool that gives consumers an easy means to see their home electricity use on their computer or cellular phone. we're looking at how large numbers of vehicles could actually help stabilize the grid and provide massive storage capacity to support a vastly greater share of renewable generation. a specially bred where the air does not always blow and the sun is not always shine. citing new transmission capacity may be the most vexing peace of the renewable energy puzzle and one where new federal policy is critical if we're going to build thousands of miles of new transmission lines across multiple state borders. fourth and finally, we must set national standards to accelerate cleaner and more efficient technologies. congress should adopt a strong energy standards. this has sparked new industries and c

leslie and mark, from the most susan boyle appeared on "britain's got talent," nobody said she was aeauty queen. sharon osbourne took it to a new level. >> this great picture of susan boyle smiling, looking like a -- that are are that is a great shot. >> what a great line. that's a great line. >> do you like susan boyle or do you not love her? >> i'm happy that she is. i like everybody to do well, even someone that looks like that. god bless her. you go girl. >> talk about vicious. what's wrong with sharon? >> sharon just put the cat back in cat fight. this is beyond. not everybody can be or is a beauty queen. i'm sure all of us won't look as hot when we are 90, 100 years from now. this woman has immense talent. immense talent. i know there people out there who would say i would rather be brilliantly talented than beautiful. that voice can just bring so much more than just a pretty face can. i'm surprised as a woman she would go there. >> me too. i'm shocked. it was a low blow and cruel and unnecessary. sharon did not make the cut of our nominees for the most provocative celebrity of

we do not worry about britain and france having nuclear weapons. there is a difference between a scalpel, a knife, in hand of a surgeon or in hand of a mother in an alley. the problem is primarily who has them. tom, you said that arms control was not breathing about nirvana indeed bringing about nirvana. it is impossible to separate the two on that. it is not true that the soviet union collapsed because it is a rotten system that was bound to collapse. it is true is a rotten system that collapsed, but a lot of rot and systems around the world do not collapse. a lot of them keep building up their military, especially because that is the one thing they do very well. we just saw henry kissinger talking about north korea. that is a rotten system. that is far more run than the soviet union. they are doing fine on building nuclear weapons, and they are not collapsing, unfortunately. that analogy that it was so rotten and had to collapse is just wrong. >> you are finished. your not only wrong, you are finished. [laughter] >> we talked earlier about the po

vetting the new policemen is tough and the prime minister is concerned about this, certainly, of the britain >>> remember, the bird's nest, the center of last year's olympic games in beijing. now chinese officials are trying to figure out what to do it. now, only a few thousand a day pay to tour it. that's down from 50,000. sports teams have not been able to move into the nest because it costs just too doggone much. but it looks, great, rafer w weig weigel. >> but doesn't look good empty. >> it was not empty last night. people looking forward to the victory parade, when that happens. we're talking about the new york yanks. >> the empire fights back. it is the first one for the yankees in their new $1.3 billion park and their first in nine years. oh, how they've just suffered so much and how sweet it was. >> yankees win, the yankees win! >> incidentally, when the yankees opened old yankee stadium in 1923, they won the series that year too. every time they open a new park, they win. as richard said, victory parade is tomorrow. >>> michael jordan's song, marcus, played in his first game and alr

britain's manjit singh set a record for pulling a double decker bus by his fair for almost 70 feet, and man, i don't know what conditioner that guy uses, but he's definitely in line for some endorsements. look at the guy. >> i know. i thought he had something bad to eat, actually. it was just like ooh! >> and with that. >> we better let you go. take the reins here. that was a hilarious story. thank you, sir. by the way, thank you, facebook. a man arrested for armed robbery is out of jail because of an unusual alibi here. he was updating his facebook status when the robbery happened in brooklyn. rodney bradford was actually 13 miles away on a computer at his dad's apartment. bradford was picked out of his lineup but his lawyers used witnesses and the facebook time stamp to prove his innocence. >>> bob, you were saying unfortunately for folks that are at the airport right now, they're stuck listening with -- to folks like us for the next 2 1/2 hours or so. >> i gave you the line, you blew it. >> next time, write it down for me. >> you're absolutely right. let me show you flight explorer.

table that was owned by john adams was probably bought when he was the american minister to great britain the federal. , but not too long after the declaration of independence was signed, it shows independence hall. you are talking about all the great people who had something to do with the declaration of independence and the early constitution. he became the first president to shake hands. talk about something you take for granted today. that was a defining gesture. next in addition to his symbolic impact, thomas jefferson is the first president to change the structure, adding colonnades of either side. columns to the west of the homes still stand today. he is also the first of several other presidents to occupy the white house, bringing in slaves to a home partially built by in slave labor. as was the capitol, just blocks away. >> slave labor was involved in the minds of the white house. there was that dichotomy, the land of the free, and here these people are slaves. >> when the white house was built, a lot of the labor in america was provided by african-americans, whether it was labor

just went on sale in britain and expected to be this year's top seller. openings like this one usually reserved for movies but notice that was not a red carpet but camouflage. some video games are selling so well they can do huge openings. there's a camouflage red carpet. that's what they're doing. i was reading on pc world there's plenty of copies out there. so you can go get that for your husband now. he'll like that. >> he's a pacifist. >>> as we celebrate veterans day, some people are asking the question, should women in the military be allowed to go into combat? chuck, you and i were talking off air before we were starting to talk about the subject. there are a lot of female veterans. 1.8 million, according to the va. so this is not necessarily a small number. >> not at all. there are 10,000 serving in iraq, 4,000 in afghanistan. so if -- and kimberly munley, this cop hero, the police sergeant who literally took down the shooter at ft. hood, i mean, if women can defend ft. hood, can't they defend america? that's the question of the day. i mean, they

woman had lived in, say, japan, the world's second-richest nation, or germany, the third-richest, or britain, france, italy, spain, canada, et cetera, the health care systems there would have give enher the standard treatment for lupus and she could have lived a normal life span. but nicky white wrasse a citizen of the -- was a citizen of the world's richest country, the united states of america. once she was sick, she couldn't get health insurance. like tens of millions of her fellow americans, she had too much money to qualify for health care under welfare but too little money to pay for the drugs and the doctors she needed to stay alive. she spent the last months of her life frantically writing letters and filling out forms," mr. president, "pleading for help. when she died, nicky white was 32 years old." that is a story that should move every one of us, move every one of us, to action. look, we've spent years studying and analyzing what's working in our health care system and what's not working. what it comes down to is this: too many of our fellow citizens are suffering because of the b

the cru in great britain is a huge receiver of research money. much of it comes from the united states. i remember there's a show called "the greenhouse conspiracy" and the director was on camera saying how important it was to keep the money coming for is graduate students. host: president obama says he will go to the meeting in copenhagen and they will talk about global climate change. does the news of these dr. e- mails or the mills that talk about -- or the e-mails that talk about this, will they will -- will that hamper his efforts? guest: he is saying he could do something in copenhagen that he cannot do. if he is going to commit the united states to a carbon emissions reduction of 80%, the senate has to pass that. it is debatable whether it will pass the senate. he cannot do that. it has to pass the senate. i bet there are a lot of people in the senate who are sitting on the fans who are mad as heck that he went out in public and said the u.s. will do this. that forces them to vote on something they don't want to vote on it puts them at log

if only britain had been able to land the force on the continent that would deter germany before world war one. they are immensely difficult. immensely dangerous. if the actions had been taken, people would blame them for doing it. this is what of those things that of course, it is terribly difficult, but i do believe that as we look back on those episodes, if we look back on this and say that we did not stop iran from getting nuclear weapons, we will consider it a missed element with big consequences. what is interesting to me is that the breadth of opinion runs from the right to all the way to the non-proliferation. some of the most fervent in the administration are about non- proliferation. you'll get tremendous proliferation following a iran. people see venezuela or brazil drizzling -- pursuing nuclear weapons. the notion that iran can go ahead and do this without consequences is astounding. if something is unacceptable, you have to do [unintelligible] >> is there anyone there really thinks that when the administration says that is unacceptable, will they do anything about it? it i
