because if you remove children, especially up to a third of all children, the tribes cannot persist as an entity, and the culture cannot persist. so this is this is such like a great issue for indian families and thinking people. >> for more information on booktv's recent visit to lincoln and the many other cities visited by our local content vehicles, go to c-span.org/localcontent. ..

children organization calling for an urgent humanitarian ceasefire in yemen and 279 children have beenled by the saudi-led bombing campaign began nearly three months ago and 400 physically injured and more experiencing psychological trauma 2500 people have been killed in total. let's bring in unicef jeremy hopkins and joins us via skype from yemen capitol, sanaa and jeremy i was just reading the report from unicef that says the number of children killed in last ten weeks of fighting is four times that of those confirmed killed last year and that is a shocking number but realistically can anything be done to protect children during a conflict? >> well, that is a very good question. we are on the ground here with many other partners and organizations trying to do what we can but we would reiterate our call for an end to the hostility so we can better access the estimated nine million children in need of humanitarian life-saving support. >> there are also reports that children are being recruited by armed groups to fight, what implications would this have for these children in the future?

african-american children, the children of migrant farmers. they talked about the middle and upper classes, and that was extremely new, something that had never been done before at these conferences. as importantly, the 1950 conference in its final report concluded that the federal government should play a bigger role in the lives of america's children by initiating new programs, expanding old ones and giving financial support to state and local governments to deal with the social and economic problems that were directly affecting children in their particular cities, regions, areas. it may be hard to believe today, but there was a time when the federal government largely ignored the world of kids, and there was a time when the public did not automatically consider government as the obvious appropriate choice when it came to solving large problems. that certainly changed after the war. both truman and eisenhower along with congress began to talk about children and teenagers as a distinct segment of the american population. one reason was the in

children. he's seen zero progress in his case. the seventh year of his heart wrenching ordeal and i traveled with his mother, the child's grandparents to japan and met that brick wall that he has faced now for seven years in trying to help move that case along. and yet the state department can't bring itself to hold japan accountable by naming japan as an offender in the annual report. it is disappointing, it is discouraging and i believe it is disgraceful. the report whitewashes japan's egregious record on parental child abduction. and to add insult to injury, the report table that was to show the unresolved abductions in japan failed to include a single one of the more than 50 cases, 36 of which have been dragging on for more than five years according to the national center for missing and exploited children. instead the table listed japan as having a 43% resolution rate. japan again has never issued an enforced return order for an american child. these american victims like their left behind

and their children are the majority of the children of immigrants. if you look at how demographics are changing in american society by the year 2040 demographers predict the united states will be a majority minority country. that growth is driven not by mexican immigration as many people assume. and that's immigration from mexico is at the close levels in years. it's driven by an increase in the second generation, the children of immigrants and they are really key to america's economic and social future. we need to make sure that the children of immigrants are integrated into american society and there have been opportunities to obtain social economic mobility. >> host: also we hear from our politicians that latinos hispanics in america are interested in the immigration issue. is that same case with the american -- mexican middle-class popular? >> guest: many middle-class mexican-americans are interested politically in immigration issues and comprehensive immigration reform. in some of obama's recent executive action on immigration in part because th

the children and families first initiative. this proposition, once again, i said this before -- it truly highlights the commitment of the citizens of the city to call the importance for children's services and to ensure their secured funding for children's services. there are a number of key policy statements that we voted on in this past november. one, we wanted to ensure that these findings available for our children and family for the next 25 years. two, we want to increase the children and youth fund to allow for additional services for kids. so much so, were actually allowing the children and youth fund to grow up to four cents of every $100 of property tax revenue collected by the city. and, third, we want to allow the children and youth fund to serve disconnected young people up to the age of 24. i am sorry. i want to make sure people can read the powerpoint. fourth, we wanted to reconstitute the oversight and advisory committee for the department to clearly define the roles and response abilities of the councilmembers.

kidnapping of our children. my nightmare began in august of 2009 when my ex-wife told me she wanted to take the kids back-to-school shopping. little did i know, on that day, in a few short hours, my children would be on an airplane in the air on the way to japan in their own haven for parental child abduction. it would be slightly less painful perhaps if my ex-wife facilitated phone calls between me and my children. my phone calls are ignored, my packages are refused and my letters are sent back to me. the state department informed me they're working on my case. we had meetings, phone calls and and even more meetings, town hall meetings in which i met scores of parents in the same situation. i was assured the state department was, quote, raising the issue of my cases and other cases in which children were stolen to japan in violation of law. just briefly, i'd like to share with you the research, nic nic who we'll hear from later is the experience is extremely damage to get child. the office of juvenile preferenc

children. i traveled with his parents to japan and met the brick wall that he has face for seven years and trying to move that case along and get the state department to hold japan accountable by naming japan as an offender in the annual report. it is disappointing, it is discouraging and i believe it is disgraceful. the report white watches washes japan. it failed to include a single one of the more than 50 cases. thirty-six of which have been dragging on for more than five years according to the national center for missing and exploited children. instead it listed japan as having a 43% resolution rate. japan has never issued an enforced return order for an american child. these are american citizens who need the help of their government to return their children. all accounts are to be accounted against japan. the report's conclusion of 46% resolution is truly indefensible. not a single parent was allowed in person contact over the last year. they have given them new and powerful tools to brin

in san francisco those who don't know our adult services are geared towards families with young children zero to 5 and young services zero to 18. >> thank you for allowing me to serve low income communities and improving access to quality services for families i'm joined by my colleagues and san francisco families who are in support of my application and to be honest i feel i won a seat with all their presence i'm deeply overwhelminged and happy they took the time to support me like my colleagues i've worked tireless in the forefront supporting low income families many of the families we serve emigrated to american with a better future for america only to find their journey is nearly impossible to achieve for any families rely on public sausages but those who are lucky go make $23,000 a year when they earn two to three jobs they have subsidized childcare for families not having childcare they have to bring their children to work or quit their jobs many moms have to strap their babies on their back with anyone to care for them for many families a sro's with other members to share one bath

children. once the case is submitted the state department and jca claim they can wash their hands of all responsibility to the children in a timely manner. so even if a court takes ten years to provide one hour of access to a child, a country will be considered compliant for purposes of the goldman act. under an exception that is nowhere to be found in the language of the goldman act. what is completely unforgivable, mr. chairman, in my opinion, is that this american shell game is absolutely to the detriment of american children, quote, crime victims. note, there are voices of reform in japan. including high-level officials who want to see a change in japan's domestic laws. we need to support them in condemning the current system in japan. and not undermine their reform efforts by sugarcoating reality. these are people who really want to see japanese laws change for the better. people like the justice minister who in direct response to captain tolland's case was quoted in the newspaper saying t

it provides all of the seeds that children need. and part of our challenge is to find ways of communicating that, especially parents who might not otherwise do it. >> i have to ask you about the screens, the ipad and ipod, all of these devices that we now have, i see little ones with these things and touching them and phones too, is that helping or hurting? >> it can do either. i was on an airplane trip last month where i was sitting next to an adorable 13-month-old for her child and she was captivated and i could see two reasons why, there was exciting stuff going on in the screen and the parents were interacting with the child. they were talking about what was on the screen. inviting the child to tryout different things. they were using their voices to help the child understand a connection between the child's own actions and response of the screen. and that is consistent with what the research is showing us. that these screens can be helpful especially if they occur in the context of response of social interaction that goes on be
