in number of countries including hungary and central asia have laws that make legal registration for religious communities difficult. this means an unregistered groups are ineligible for state financial support or tax benefits and unable to own property. in some central asian countries, and registered groups are frequently unable to gather to worship. this favoritism can empower societal abuse. in several countries, governments limited the right to wear or not we're religious attire. this decision should be a personal choice. and increasingly, european countries enacted legislation to ban entire covered -- covering the face. some countries force women to cover themselves entirely. saudi arabia, iran, somalia, and forced modesty codes for women. these challenges are daunting and it is easy to focus on the bed -- bad. change is possible. as ambassador at large for religious freedom, i have met with government officials and people from all around the world. the ideas they cheer about new ways to come together in build hope for a better future are exciting and inspirational. for example,

i performed in spain at a world festival in one thousand nine hundred eighty nine and in central asia. i visited most they love and respect tightrope walking a lot. even how to swim in the atlantic ocean all this came about thanks to tight rope. i've been doing it since childhood it is my bread and butter i respect the road and i will be teaching it until the day i die. these are his two favorite students last year they won the festival in south korea but also hoping to win this time. does not perform any more but he does have company his pupils on the. field. just because it performs the most spectacular trick it's very unlikely that anyone else will want a bicycle along the road but the festival the rope is just eight millimeters thick about the same as a pencil feel . which can be used for five to six years before they have to be changed such cables are ordered from an aviation plant every tightrope walker has his own preferences as far as strength is concerned balancing polls are also carefully hand-picked for another poll ways nine kilograms. just moves is only seven. digits not

we said, no, it's not one of the five stans in central asia. instead, it's one of the constituent republics within the russian federation, and it's split between 43% russian orthodox and 51% -- i'm giving approximations -- muslim tartar population. yet again not only has peace presided in tartarstan, but in ca zahn, the capital, you have one of the largest mosques in europe dedicated seven or eight years ago next to the renovated orthodox cathedral within the kremlin overlooking the volga river. this was interesting to us because in soviet times there were 15 union republics, 18 autonomous republics all with a roughly ethnic base, and the joke was they were never autonomous, nor republics. and that when the soviet union collapsed, it was a question what would happen to the other ethnic places. in the case of chechnya, as you all know, civil war broke out ending in the flight of russian authority, and it's still a scene of violence today. ca zahn was different. the capital had an interesting president. his name was shamiyev. and he had been an o

interest and china one of them down is sitting at the crossroads of oil and gas pipelines coming from central asia in iran and elsewhere the iran pakistan pipeline that took many spend of ghana's then pakistan india pipeline not to mention that baluchistan itself has its energy resources besides its water port and its right here is the access point of chinese chinese commercial shipping to the indian ocean and on to africa. but all the violence and instability there doesn't make it an easy place for business investigative journalist very draitser tells me some world powers might be interested in keeping it that way first of all we have various indigenous terrorist organizations that operate inside of below tristan the liberation army. republican army lashkar e tayyiba just to name a few is an organization that for decades has been focused on destabilization of iran now the confluence of these various terrorist organizations of course is not coincidental this has a direct relation to the interests of the united states and the western powers these the blocking the chinese the stable. as in pakistan

two elements one is we wanted to share in fact our reading of what's going on now in the region central asia but also what's going on in afghanistan in libya in yemen in syria to make sure that we have a joint understanding that's one and the other element is to talk about preparedness we are living in a very very strange world even for the i.c.r.c. even for the red cross i mean things are happening with such a pass and such a difficulty sometimes that is important for us to be ready more than ever and it's important to understand that organization like this year steel are also ready maybe to intervene and to understand their point of view and to see how we can collaborate together you have the red cross you work a very humanitarian organization i know you have different aspects but still while the c.s.t. you know is considered by many in the west and the rightly as sort of an they term i mean like well like a mill trade military post so the block they're also having many functions well how do you come to did do you feel that you still have much in common with this organization you have to k

that musical form found off central asia in which there are two distinct pitches at the same time. thanks throat stinging. >>> let's find out if we got anything wrong so far. sorry to interrupt. somebody has been rag ged the last couple days. >> usually you ask me if i am ready before we start and they chose not to do that. >> so now you blame the production people? >> absolutely. >> good for you. >> and i fairly think it is because i am jewish. >> that's a twist. >> it is a worker's rebellion type of thing. >> i can say that because i am next to lori. >> and i am a jew too. >> we will talk about that too. >> i am catholic! >> lori, how do you not correct him on that? >> i am glad i did it at 3:00 a.m. >> you even heard him be rate me and punishment for not agreeing with his take on the chick-fil-a cashier. i am so intimidated by him. >> please. >> that came later. you can't use that as an excuse. >> i knew it was going to happen. i have the fore sight to know it. >> all right. >> i am so glad on "the five" i was going to bring up the song. i am glad i did it here. that would have

so you see waves and waves of nomadic people coming out of central asia, concreted people of those previously who were the conquerors from the previous wave of appropriators a few well. so the middle east had a tremendously enormous role in the development of political institutions in the development of political institutions in the development of political institutions establishes the great empire. many, many things comerom the middle east. i should point out among them are a establishes the great empire. many, many things come from the middle east. i should point out among them are a domesticated house cats are descendents of middle eastern cat. this was recently documented. these are descendents of the middle eastern cat. if teams to be that cats -- i think there may be some cat owners here, successfully domesticated humans here first in the middle east and what happened was when you had grain production income you have large amounts of grain. what you get when you have large amounts of grain? mice. and what are very attractive? manx. and those are adventurous enough to come and live among

strategy to have to continue to reflect the interconnectedness of the region cost challenges, and central asia to iran. what happens in the region as a whole will do more to determine the outcome in afghanistan than any shift in strategy. pakistan remains central to that effort. it is this secret that last year it was challenging in a relationship. many pakistanis believe americans will simply abandon the region. pakistan continues to hedge its bets and rely on certain strategic groups. there should be a more cooperative relationship and we see accusations regarding afghanistan-based insurgent initiatives in pakistan. the recent developments with pakistan have fled to the reopening of the critical nato supply lines. serious policy makers on both sides understand that we have more to gain by finding common ground and working together in areas of mutual concern. i think we need to point out that pakistan has suffered grievously at the hands of al qaeda, the taliban, and affiliated terrorist groups. then 6000 security forces have died from terrorist incidents since 2001. pakistan is facing an ene

there was one guy, he predicted $20 and he's the closest analyst that he was in the middle of central asia. >> i want the -- >> he says it's a buy. >> i think it is a buy right now. >> that's because there's a business here that you think people are overlooking? >> oh, my gosh, yes. there's a huge business. this company has dominance in a massive new communications medium. it's kind of a monopoly. it's a global business. they have a billion users. you know, they haven't begun to explore all the ways that you can monetize as they say by selling advertising and other things. >> from a pr standpoint, does somebody have to take the fall for this and be out of the company in order for investors to come back? >> i don't think so. but i do think what they have to do is really prove to investors that somehow they're taking this really seriously. i don't think they have been as public as they ought to be. i don't think zuckerberg has spoken about it in public at all, saying we realize, we owe a lot to our investors. we're going to do everything we can to get values up and show that this company is

at edp we've been strongly supporting integration and in some areas, and central asia we have seen successin the battle, but south asia is one of the regions where we see slower progress and more to cozzi and integration. i appreciate your views whether that is also your assess and ended so, what makes this region more difficult as an area for regional integration? >> just an answer to your question i want to say i have a set of circumstances when reforms happen. one is a crisis, to assume leadership and the endogenous growth. i said for example, gross takes off in demand for education increases. so that dynamic as well. on the low skilled domestic demand migration, one of the things i have been struck by between india and china is all this talk of india as a place because in some of my -- i was presenting some in london last year were bronco hard and i was telling them that the fact that one of the underappreciated legacies of the old economics was the fact that once you establish the idea of india, i.e. that india is a political entity with national identity, one economic benefit of that

at abb, we support integration, and in some areas, say, central asia, we've seen success beginning to development, but i have to admit south asia is a region with slower progress and difficulty, and i would appreciate your views on whether that is also your assessment, and if so, what makes this south asia region difficult as an area for recop figuration, thanks. >> i just want to see a turn set of circumstances when policy reforms happen. one is crisis, two is in lightened leadership, and third is the growth. as i said, for example, growth takes off the demand and education increases, private schools come, and that dynamic as well. you know, on this low skill domestic demand migration, you know, one of the things i've been struck by in the comparative between india and china is i've always thought of india as a place because, you know, because, you know -- you know, in some of my, you know -- i was presenting something in london last year where, you know, leaders were in the add yeps, and -- audience, and i was telling them that i think the fact that one of the under appreciated lega

another route is through central asia. that is very complicated. it will be important for the european allies in the u.s. troops for the northern afghanistan, but less so for the marines. they were relying on the cap -- pakistan root out. has to be cleared again. it is locked down from trucks. we have cleared it. it will start to stream out with a lot of stuff. what was really interesting to stuff,t is humvee's and which have lots of technology. i stood in one of these big dusty yards where someone was monitoring what was coming in. it was not just the big stuff. it was the shells, weapons, vehicles. it was the fact paper, dog tags, everything that goes towards the effort. host: i understand you want to get the weapons out and things like that, but why waste your time with fax paper and dog tags? guest: a lot of stuff was being burned. at one base, you saw the shell of the headquarters building. there were some army engineers there working in the heat. they were burning mattresses. some things are important, apparently. i think there are two issues

final analysis my own experience negotiating in the soviet union and 15 years in the soviet union, central asiatruck me that democracy -- constitution and values. those values we should treasure at the base of its most of all, high regard for the common good, truth telling at every level of society. nonviolence and respect for human dignity and equality of opportunity. those values cannot be written in the russian culture. they're not written in the central asian culture and absolutely fundamental if democracy is to succeed. the one issue of integrity or truth telling. imagine if your mother has a heart condition and you have to go to the hospital and bribed her into the hospital. when she gets in the hospital have to negotiate with the doctor. that is corruption in a practical sense which slows down the progress of medicine in that culture. imagine if you're a scientist -- scientific results and your greatest asset and you won't share them with anybody because that is your assets and you will hold on to it but you can falsify it and try to make up reports as they did in the soviet union about

integration of the electricity grid defense strongly supporting the integration, and in some areas in central asia we have seen success beginning to develop but south asia is one of the reasons where we see slower progress and more difficulty in the region and i would appreciate your views on whether that is also your assessment and if so, what makes this region in terms for the regional integration. >> i would add a third set of circumstances. one is enlightened leadership and as i said for example growth takes off so there is the dynamic as well. on the low-skilled domestic migration, one of the things i have been struck by between india and china is i've always thought of india has a place because presenting something in london last year when they were in the audience and i was telling them that the fact that one of the unappreciated legacies of the old economics was the fact that once you establish the idea of india a political entity of the national identity what economic benefit of that is that migration becomes a much more politically sustainable proposition. he was into muslim he more ofte

abb we have been strongly supporting integration, and in some areas, say the mekong region in central asia, we have seen success beginning to develop. but south asia is one of the regions where we see slower progress and more difficulty in regional configuration, and i would appreciate your views on whether that is also your assessment. and if so, what makes the south asia region more difficult as in the area for regional integration? >> just before i answer your two questions, i just want to say, you know, i would add a third set of circumstances when policy reforms happen. one is crisis, two is enlightened leadership, and third is the endogenous growth. for example, growth takes off, the demand for education increases. so there is that dynamic as well. on this low skill domestic migration, you know, one of the things i have been struck by in the comparison between india and china is i've always thought of india as a place because, you know, because, you know, in some of my, you know, i was presenting something in london last year where, you know, i was saying, you know, telling them that

>> asia is central to our growth. we've seen the numbers, profits of 26%, which continued to make progress across the countries in the region -- indonesia, malaysia, hong kong, singapore, even our smaller thailand and philippines are up 50%, so growth continues to be strong and predictable. and the pressing thing is that we've had 126 million pounds of cash out of asia this first half. if you look back a few years, asia used to be cash-consumptive. >> you talk about profitable, but are margins going down a bit on your asian business? >> it's not really margins. what's happening is we have two different things, agency and bank, and the banking trend is less profitable than agency, but still is very profitable by any measure. so as bank of china grows faster, mechanically, margins are increasing, but that doesn't worry us at all. it remains very significant. >> i'm curious what impact, generally speaking, the low interest rate environment is having on your business as it becomes more and more clear that this isn't just
