if you tell him he does common he will cooperate. i am not sure i answered your question, but the fact of they have come forward and threatened that if you do not cooperate, we are going to amend and official misconduct and add failure to cooperate to those charges, to me that is beyond the pale. good and we have a legitimate question and needs to be straightened out, and we are not going to be bullied into doing things their way because they say thatbe done. >> any other questions? say that is the way it needs to perhaps he responded on the documents, and there appear to be documents as a result of the proceedings. i have misspoken. thank you for raising five. i think they want documents prepared in the course of criminal proceedings. we have the letter. we can provide it to you so you can see exactly what they are asking, and all we want is clarification on this issue. if you think he is going to cooperate, we will do it. >> is that the issue in the memo and this morning? >> there is a letter, but we requested a written opinion und

cooperation in the region. otherwise the central asian countries will at this point to play their bilateral game, bilateral interests, which would be not regional interests and they would concentrate on community issues, et cetera, or insulation. which then in the long run i actually believe that we need to have a lot more regional approach than a bilateral approach because in the long run they will not have their benefits. they will have more competition and more conflict within each other within themselves if we actually promote the bilateral approach as opposed to the multilateral one. but at the same token for the afghanistan and the big region, i do recommend more of a bilateral approach to the big countries where i think that the recommendation to actually have a third party negotiator do bilateral discussions with all the neighbors about the different problems, why there is this confidence building measures that are ongoing and the confidence building measures could be extremely small and mr. siddique ta

cooper."'m calling you from a cellular phone, but a real cellular phone, a handheld portable cellular phone." and there was silence on the end of the line. >> you could not resist rubbing it in. >> oh, no question about it. >> wait for a dial tone, which i hope you'll be able to hear too. there it is. >> at a news conference inside the hilton, cooper introduced his gadget and encouraged reporters to try it out. >> the first reporter i talked to actually called her mother in australia. >> [laughs] >> and she was astounded when her mother answered. she couldn't understand how this little phone could talk halfway across the earth, which, of course, it didn't. >> little phone? what are you talking about, little phone? >> well, relatively small, huh? i mean, after all, it only weighed 2 1/2 pounds. >> [laughs] >> and now i hang it up. [phone beeps] and the only thing i can say is, what will they think of next? >> it's still a good question. where is cell phone technology going? >> i think we are ju

and often the drug flow is cited as a reason for regional cooperation, and not just regional cooperation but cooperation between iran, the united states, and international forces and afghanistan. but at the same time, there have been reports that the revolutionary guards, which is very active in afghanistan, and is to a large part responsible for afghanistan, is spopsable for the drug flow. we know the revolutionary guards are involved in the underground economy in iran, involved in the list of active iies. president ahmadinejad has act l actually hinted of this. and i believe recently the u.s. treasury department designated a revolutionary guard's officer of being involved in the narcotics trade in iran. so this is very possible. there were rumors of it in iran for a very long time. so if the revolutionary guards combatting the drug flow in afghanistan, it could also be very much involved in the drug flow. there are elements within iran who benefit by it. and also groups like jendala are believed to be benefitting from the drug trade as well. what will iran policy look like in afghanist

so there is cooperation between the pakistani intelligence and armed forces. you're right, iran initially supported rabbani but switched support to other groups once it saw it wasn't in its interests. >> i think you ask the question, will the taliban trust -- or they do trust pakistan now. i think the answer is yes and no, because there is not, like, one taliban where everybody acts in unity. there are, like, different factions or at least the haqani group is predominantly -- probably the biggest military -- has the biggest military muscle while the recommend news channels of the taliban regime headed by mullah omar has the political legitimacy and more is kind of the representative political body. during the taliban time in power, there were a number of issues. they never agreed on pakistan. mullah omar famously wrote a letter to musharraf and also asked him to become -- advised him to become a better muslim and not waste his time on advising others too much. the future afghanistan, i think anybody in power in afghanistan has to deal with the complexity of so

>> cooper: yes. >> kroft: are they? >> cooper: and to a certain extent, they are.ad thing for the greeks is they remember the second world war. some of the rhetoric harks back to what germany did in greece in the second world war. i mean, that is really quite terrifying that senior politicians are talking about these things. >> kroft: it was a long time ago and a different germany. but 300,000 greeks died of starvation during the nazi occupation, and that kind of history is not easily forgotten. so it did not sit well when the german government proposed sending a kommissar to athens to oversee greek finances. the german finance minister, wolfgang schauble, even floated the idea of postponing greek elections out of concern that a new government might overturn the austerity agreement. >> varoufakis: you cannot tell a people when they're going to hold elections. you cannot tell a sovereign parliament when it should be dissolving itself or not. you can express a wish, but you cannot issue, especially if you're speaking with a german accent, to a people that have suffer

we believe that we are going again in the right direction. >> are they cooperating? >> on a number of issues they certainly are. >> on april 12th you mentioned the parliament. on april 12th pakistan's parliament unanimously demanded the end of all u.s. drone strikes in pakistani territory. what's the reaction of the united states government to that and if they're cooperating with us, how does -- that seems to fly in the face of cooperation. >> well, we're still studying the resolution that the pakistani parliament passed and we are engaging in talks with the government to see what the implications of that are. of course this is a program that we don't discuss in public so i'm afraid i can't really go beyond that. >> well, without discussing the program, let's just discuss the policy. when another legislate of body uni unanimously does something, that would suggest certainly at least on the legislative side of that government, they've taken a pretty firm position of noncooperation. it's not a classified matter that the united states has deployed drones both in pakista

but we continue to work closely with them, and we are optimistic that that cooperation will continue into the future. >> thank you, mr. ambassador. with respect to pakistan, i have two questions, one is, first of all, is the united states government satisfied that after the tragic incident on the border that we're back on track in terms of cooperation and collaboration with respect to counter terrorism? >> as secretary clinton said, this is eye complex relationship we have with pakistan, and there's no question that there has been something of a pause, if you will, caused by the tragic incident. we are hopeful now that pakistani parliament has concluded its deliberations, that we can continue to build the relationship and continue to get over the tensions of the past. we know this won't be easy, there are a lot contentious issues, we believe we're going again in the right direction. >> are they cooperating? >> on a number issues, they certainly are. >> on say 12th, you mentioned the parliament, april 12th, pakistan's parliament unanimously demanded the end of all u.s. ground strikes

to the extent they are cooperating with us, they are cooperating out of a sense of civic duty, and i think we should try to make its board and on them not so heavy. >> mr. keith, the burden of submitting a declaration at the pails to the board and of actually having to testify in a proceeding like this, so if anybody can submit a declaration and not have to testify, i think they would agree that the board is much less than having to testify. >> i agree. if we think it would end at the declaration where there is uncontroversial, we have no problem submitting just declarations for those witnesses. chair hur: does the mayor dispute that he has the burden of proof here? >> no. chair hur: what about timing? when would you anticipate being ready to call witnesses if live testimony were permitted? >> well, that depends on a lot of the proceedings that are going on right now. as we detailed in our memo, there are several instances of hostile witnesses and and lack of cooperation on the part of the sheriff, using the mayor subpoena power to go to court to get orders for people to comply with

cooperate, we will do it. >> is that the issue in the memo and this morning? >> there is a letter, but we requested a written opinion under the charter that says people can ask for written opinion on these issues. >> you received this letter this morning? >> i could give you the code section, but i think it is better to have it distributed. >> everything this commission does has to be done in open session, so when you say you want an opinion from us, it is not like you issued the judge and asked the judge to give you an opinion. we have to then schedule a meeting so we can decide how we want to respond to it, and i know you do not want to delay proceedings. and that is probably my number one goal, to try and set this up so we can get fairness to both sides but in an expeditious fashion. >> i concur. >> any other questions to? thank you. goohaving heard both sides, i tk my inclination would be to have the party's brief the legal issues, because i think we can get that more expeditiously. i think it will help us potentially narrow the issues, but more importantl

integrated military force that can coordinate and cooperate is going to be tough. we're talking to the defense minister last week from the central african republic. they need equipment, they need training. they need a lot of logistical support. but in comparison to uganda, they have a much more advanced organization. so how to integrate these will be a challenge, but we are trying to overcome these. i think the special forces group has been very good about enhancing coordination and cooperation. the other issue is you're correct, the ugandan troops have not been in the drc since the elections last year. that's going to take some time. but they are committed. we've spoken to the president and they are going to work together to make this happen. but one thing that's really important is that, as long as we are remaining committed -- the united states, the european union, the united nations and the african -- that's going to be important. i think especially setting up the original task force in sudan is one step the united nations peacekeeping operations contributing,

one is an investigation asking people to voluntarily cooperate. the other thing is the mayor is issuing subpoenas. that is another way we are getting evidence, and the third way is by requesting a elected officers and employees of the city to operate with our investigation, and that is where we are requesting cooperation of the sheriff's, and other the conduct code that imposes a duty on all employees and officers to cooperate with an investigation of potential violations with the government conduct code, it is 3.240 of the campaign of governmental conduct code. >> is there a reason you are issuing them as mayor subpoenas? >> the mayor has independent authority to subpoena. >> may i ask a question? it took me awhile to find them, but you are moving under 3.699- 12 request for an issue winds of opinion, and it says any person may request the commission issue a written opinion with respect to that person's duty under the provisions of this charter or any ordinance related to campaign finance, conflict of interest lobbying, or government ethics. that

competition for cooperation? >> so far, it is all about cooperation. so far, both have been very reluctant to engage in any major conflict. despite the recent ballistic missile launch, india has been very keen on cooperation, especially in international trade and trade between the two hours. >> with india for all nuclear capability strengthening, what are the implications for nuclear proliferation? >> in terms of the nuclear world, we have to speak of two world's. there is the one where we have seen severe cuts in the nuclear assets over the last few years. there were over 700 nuclear tests in europe 20 years ago. on the contrary in other parts of the world -- asia as well as latin america -- uc a major arms race -- you see a major arms race occurring. >> thank you for talking with us. >> my pleasure. >> paris is all about syria tonight. >> france is toasting of friends of syria conference with top officials from the united states, europe, and the arab states. the group fully supports a u.n. peace plan for the country, but he criticized the syrian regi

. >> he has not been particularly remorseful but very cooperative. >> reporter: strangely, mr. goh has confessed to shooting 10 and killing seven. when it comes to pinpointing where he threw the weapon out, he's backing off, not being cooperative.

both countries are members of the brics group there are rumors that india may join the shanghai cooperation organization in the near future so how close are the two regional superpowers to creating a regional super alliance we will ask this question to the indian minister of external affairs. india is apparently one of the biggest players in eurasia along with russia and china all three part of a briggs group of leaving emerging economies but they don't consider you a regional alliance a candidate for this role is the shanghai cooperation organization a multi purpose corporation body in eurasia. russia and china are members already but india has observer status there are some issues to be solved before it is admitted and one of them is its relations with pakistan which wants to join us. hello mr krishna welcome to the show thank you very much for being with us. first of all we have read in the news that india has voiced serious concern over the recent launch of the attempt of the launch of an. korean satellite and that and the missile the launch was condemned by the west it was it was conde

they've been very cooperative with us, most of the community of documents, will go document sell weeks ago one of the individuals who did steal from us who was identify by in fact the private citizen who just happened to notice the fact that documents he had used in the archives were being -- this man ways rested. convict and sentenced to two years in jail. >> over how long a period had he been stealing? >> for several years. >> seven? >> several. by are not certain -- >> at least five. >> there are dates out there. >> there are dates out. there for at least five. >> he was not an insider? >> well,e was a continuous researcher. >> you mean a daily hire? >> no, he was an outside researchers working at -- he would come into the archives to do research. we've strengthened our procedures since the case and since a few others like that a few others, we've strengthened our procedures and we continue t] do that every day. we're serious -- the penalty itself the fact we invited in at-who identified the theft, we had a ceremony in his honor and we're urging citizens if you think something is st

cooperation organization he's back on since. i think that we have made lot of it intention and i think. they are considering. association in a full capacity. in the shag carpet when me that happened was your estimation let's say i don't think that it would be reasonable to. spell out. if a time frame within which such decisions in. group click. ok. cooperation organization can take place over any conditions under which you are joining for example may we see a situation that you may join the shanghai there's asian together with pakistan saluting is is that possible well this is a group where it is not an exclusive club so i think there would be a number of. would be equally interested like india and i think. it is for the group to consider b.d.s. . applications radius. countries which are interested which have shown interest in becoming. engaged in this process. will see india and pakistan are currently making a major step in normalizing their relations and i'm reading in the wires that you are neutrally first salute stating the

spatial cooperation economic cooperation social issues that we cooperate in on education reducing poverty things like that and the same time brazil has a specific agenda demaris there has been very insistent she will this visit continue to require the united states back results move to get a seat on the united nations security council and a permanent seat at that and the united states the obama administration has given no sign whatsoever that they're going to back rozelle and that is where as they have been in the case of india for example so there are some issues that are very tense between the two countries and then there is a relationship brazil has had with iran there was a relationship brazil that has in that region as being a member of you know sure of being a member of say lackies new emerging entities in latin america cooperation amongst nations without which the united states is completely excluded so i think that you know another issue that's going on there and at the same time this is actually a more important visit for president obama than it is for president rousseff because

now, they are stepping up military cooperation. danang hosted the u.s. airbase during the vietnam war. the area saw some of the fiercest battles. 74-year-old farmer le khec phien fought against the u.s. as a soldier in the north vietnamese army. he lost members of his friends and family in the war. he has bitter memories of that time. he takes care of a village temple dedicated to those who died in the r. he has mixed feelings about vietnam joining hands with the u.s. he finds it hard to forgive the former enemy, but says cooperation for the benefit of both countries. >> translator: frankly speaking, i still bear a grudge against the u.s. but when looking five or ten years ahead, it might be a good idea to cooperate with the u.s. >> reporter: the two navies are taking those mixed feelings into consideration. the training does not involve military maneuvers. instead, they are practicing disaster response and civilian rescue. the crews are also visiting each other's vessels. >> translator: learning about the u.s. fleet's devices is very significant. >> rep

economic leadership is needed for cooperation to actually work. second, in a world driven by an infinity of interconnections, the ideal of cooperation is as urgent as when you're former president john fitzgerald can it said geography has made its neighbors. history has made best friends. economics has made as partners. -- us partners. now is another time and that has to be demonstrated, certainly at an economic level. third, the imf was founded by an american and english man who had a vision. that decision is still true today. and the imf continues to serve the community so all i would say to you and the way in which you can actually disseminate news is that use us, work with us, we will serve you and we will work with you. thank you very much. [applause] >> the managing director has graciously agreed to take a few questions and we are going to let her get a comfortable seat. madame director, spoke eloquently about the needs of the imf. begs the obvious question of how much you need and where do see it coming from? >> there is a sequence issue and

of course, if you think that is beneficial, we will certainly cooperate. chair hur: if we did not need written briefs, how quickly would you -- would you want a procedure where the mayor would go first with an opening brief and then you would respond? which you prefer simultaneous briefings? >> the former would be preferable to us, just as it would be preferable to us that they disclose what evidence is that they intend to rely on so we can prepare to respond. to me, this is somewhat akin to a criminal prosecution, in a sense, and one of the reasons why i made my objection earlier to these proceedings is in a criminal case, if they did and it was hauled into court, and a judge told them, you have been charged by a crime -- charge of the crime by the d.a., and now we will determine the standard of proof, i do not think anybody would be happy. we think it is essential that they tell us what they intend to prove and have noticed. notice is the hallmark of due process, and that is what we're trying to make sure happens here. chair hur: sensitive to the fact th

it's no secret, we have to be in cooperation with the human rights, and other human rights cooperation. they are addressing these issues. >> one apology and two instructions. an apology, we actually got started late, but i've been handed a note taking the authority away from me to extend the sefgs. and the people in front were discriminated against in favor of the back. i was going to call on you really. that is the apology. the optimism that these people represent, if it's accurate, they may be back in town fairly frequently. two instructions. number one, we heard in the morning session that we now leave you free for the next hour and 25 minutes to implement your eating how you choose individually. we'll break for lunch. and we'll reconvene at 2:30. the second instruction is, if you can please take off your headsets and leave it on your chair. thank you. and please join me in thanking our guests.

in cooperation with the united states, we will continue our efforts against terrorism. think the forls of terrorism are becoming very diverse. amongst them, cyber terrorism, for example. between japan and the united states, cyber security as well. so we shall work together to rout out terrorism as well. i would like to ask a question f. there's no direct reference to china in the joint statement. what sort of views did you have on china in toward stability in the asia pacific connected with their advances in the oceans and also the military build-up. i wonder what thoughts you have on this subject. >> let me answer first. as you pointed out, the shared vision does not refer to any specific country. we recognize china as a major partner in the region. in our exchange of views, both of us confirmed that viewpoint. china's development is an opportunity for the international community, for japan and for the asia pacific. now i explained in the meeting to president obama when i visited china last december, i broached this subject in order to further advance our mutually bene

, in accordance with the cooperation of the federal agencies and we did just that. i mentioned this because there is some similarity, but laws need to be in cooperation and not hostile to each other. when i came to the senate, i was appointed to this august committee, the judiciary committee, and the committee on appropriations. both had jurisdiction over border patrol, custom, general services. i used all the jurisdictions to focus law and resources on the

and this is part of our broader comprehensive cooperation in weakening the grip of narco trafficking within mexico, and we recognize that we have a responsibility to reduce demand for drugs. we have a responsibility to make sure that not only guns but also bulk cash isn't flowing into mexico. and obviously president calderon takes very seriously his responsibility to affect law enforcement within mexico. and i think he has taken courageous steps to do that. we'll keep on partnering together to continue to make progress on this very important issue. >> you asked me about the visa requirement. visa requirement is the really only effective means we have in canada today to deal with large scale bogus refugee claims under our refugee determination system. legislation that is being implemented and there is legislation before parliament to enhance those changes. that legislation will in the future in years to come will give us tools other than visa requirements to deal with that particular problem. as of today, that remains the only tool at our disposal. >> finally -- >> hello, gentlemen. i

would become the most expensive ocean garbage the world has ever known so well north high nation cooperation seeing as well we'll explore. it good evening it is wednesday april eleventh eight pm in washington d.c. i'm christine for you watching our team. while the bodies are piling up in what some rights groups are calling a humanitarian crisis despite a decrease in the number of people crossing the border into the u.s. the migrant death rate keeps climbing but these unidentified victims are rarely mentioned during u.s. immigration policy discussions or migrants out near the border in the past fifteen years are about the same as the u.s. casualties in the wars in iraq and afghanistan archies were mungle in the reports from arizona. the wind blows through the rugged sonora desert in arizona helping shape its rocky valleys and spectacular peaks it's a treasure of the american southwest but this is also a frontier land where deadly conflict is a way. it's almost a mass disaster situation the disaster which dr headspace is is the only number of an identified bodies being found along arizona's de

but it's the focus on cooperation. and i think you have to -- so i don't think you can read into 1373 the -- the conclusion that what congress was intending to do was to shift from the federal government to the states the authority to set enforcement priorities, because i think the cooperation in this context is cooperation in the service of the federal enforcement. >> can i get to a different question? i think even i or someone else cut you off when you said there were three reasons why -- 2(b). putting aside your argument that this -- that a systematic cooperation is wrong -- you can see it's not selling very well -- why don't you try to come up with something else? because i, frankly -- as the chief has said to you, it's not that it's forcing you to change your enforcement priorities. you don't have to take the person into custody. so what's left of your argument? >> so let me just summarize what i think the three are, and then maybe i can move on to sections 3 and 5. with respect to -- with respect to 2, we think t

to the extent they are cooperating with us, they are cooperating out of a sense of civic duty, and i think we should try to make its board and on them not so h.

economic basis for cooperation i noticed that the.seventy thirty seventy being in the amount that would be invested in russia. and given china's interest and resources are natural and energy and so on and my guess is that fair amount of that will actually take place in siberia. but russia and china recently completed a series of military drills do you think this corresponds with the us expending its military footprint in the pacific well you know these are only strategic ambiguity and the response answers and certainly the u.s. spirit to asia so call. the i think the cooperation the sino russian drill has to be looked at in that light as a response or all the deals are going to be managed in national currencies that this kind of cooperation enable china to drop the dollar as a main reserve currency. why it's difficult for china to completely get away from the dollar they're holding too many too much dollar but they ventures something like sixteen or more bilateral what they costs want currency agreements and russia is one of them and

the solution would be much easier, of course, if all of the nations of europe were cooperating. but they are not. far from cooperating, the soviet union and the communist parties have proclaimed their determined opposition to a plan for european economic recovery. economic distress is to be employed to further political ends. there are many who accept the picture that i have just drawn, but raise a further question. why must the united states carry so great a load in helping europe? the answer is simple. the united states is the only country in the world today which has the economic power and productivity to furnish the needed decisions. to be quite clear, this unprecedented endeavor of the new world to help the old is neither sure nor easy. it is a calculated risk. it is a difficult program. and you know far better than i do that political difficulties involved in this program. but there is no doubt whatever, in my mind, that if we decide to do this thing we can do it successfully. ♪ >> great rubble heaps left by the war were soon diminished by an american investment in friends

what's the reaction of the united states government to that, an if they're cooperating with us, that seems to fly in the face of cooperation. >> well, we're still studying the resolution that the pakistani parliament passed, and we are engaging in talks with the government to see what the implications of that are. and, of course, this is a program that we don't discuss in public, so i'm afraid we can't go beyond that. >> well, without discussing the program, let's just discuss the policy. when with another legislative body unanimously does something that would suggest that certainly 59 least in the legislative side of that government they've taken a pretty firm position of noncooperation, it's not a classified matter that the united states has deployed drones both in pakistan and across the border. should the congress of the united states not read into that a resolve to end cooperation at least with respect to the deployment of that technology without getting into the deployment of that technology? >> my own views, sir is that the important thing to do is to allow us to have our conv

and lastly, cooperation with iran. japanese media reported that a 12-member iranian delegation missile and satellite development specialists secretly visited north korea settlement report says that this is by no means a recent occurrence or an isolated occurrence. what other activities, such as nuclear weapons, design and development have this regime collaborated on that we have not seen in public reporting as of yet? mr. fleitz? >> thank you, madam chairman. i think the issue of a third nuclear test is sort of the parlor game in washington right now, when and if there will be a test. i've talked to a number of experts around town and many of them think there will be a test. i tend to think the chances are less than 50-50 right now. i think there will be a nuclear test eventually when north korea is technically ready and prepared to endure the enormous amount of isolation it will endure, more than it has. but it has to conduct a nuclear test because we have to assume they're developing their nuclear designs. i think ev
