process the outcomes of doha. but the outcomes of doha are too dependant, not on the mediators and so on. one solution. but too much on what the groups decide. so when they decide not to come, the mediators can't do anything about it. so in the event that it is therefore a delay of that kind, let's go ahead and get that population in darfur, including the groups themselves because they are darfurians. so what we're saying an inclusive process at the groups. that to run them parallel, side by side. so i hope that that answers your questions. thanks. >> two questions in the back. >> my question relates to outstanding issues. in every mediation, there are standards taken by africa that are always outstanding issues that were meant to be resulted time and again often a repeated period of time. but experiences have shown that these outstanding issues are never resolved. they talk about people get independence or what they want at the bargaining table. as soon as they sign the agreements, independence is given, fresh is

to get gem, to go to doha, they are in doha now. to go to doha, and engage in the negotiations, to get up and go there. and now with a new developments to get many to go there. it's proved very difficult. for the mediators to attract the rebels to come. all of us have been talking to them. all of us talking to them, saying all of us the same thing. please go to doha, and because we all of us need, this is fire and so on. i'm quite sure that will continue to try to persuade them to engage that process which has to focus on the matter of the termination of house silties. now i don't think any one of us can guarantee the success with regard to this because the decision is not in the hands. it's not hands of the other groups, whether they want to come or don't want to come. but that we should encourage them. we are doing that since -- in fact, i should have said this was one the messages from the darfur in 2009. and they said to us, please talk to the leaders of the armed groups to go to doha to talk piece. and indeed, we conveyed that

and so, we agree except negotiations in doha. and we are seeing that it's important that those negotiations, because there are negotiations among the belligerent, they have to concentrate in particular on issues that relate to cease-fire, to a cease-fire and other arrangements. because that's an important part of any peace agreement for darfur that you get the cessation of hostility which can only be negotiated by the people who carry guns. it's important that the doha must continue and produce that desire. the problem of course with regard to this is matter that you have raised of encouraging everybody to participate, encouraging all of the groups to participate. and the mediators have found this very difficult to get -- to go to doha and engage in negotiations. to go there, and now with developments, it has proved very difficult. for the mediator to attract groups to come. all of us have been talking with them. all of us talking to them saying, all of us saying please go to doha, because all of us need, that this is fine and so

in the past several weeks, they're have been several meetings including the contact group in doha, the ministerial in berlin and the cairo meeting of the a you irritably. these meetings have reaffirmed the result of the nations to

explain to us how you are coordinating with the doha are mediators -- doha meters. -- doha mediators. tell us how you are tackling a difficult question of persuading all of the movements to participate with regard to the matter of the -- -- tell us how you are tackling the difficult question of persuading all of the movements to produce a. >> the discussion has not quite got in there about the future of sudan. it is obvious that in terms of its mandate it must terminate by july. the matter has been raised of the need for some international participation with regards to the security arrangements between the north and south. the matter has been raised. the two parties have asked us to address the issue and come back to them with some suggestions as to how this matter might be dealt with. that is in terms of international participation and security arrangements between the two countries. that is a matter we are working on. it is obvious in that context, and the issue will arise of the role of the u.n. and the african union. the south -- i am talking about an arrangement that would relate

he will be traveling to that contact group meeting in doha. hosni mubarak has suffered a heart attack. he was said to have fallen while being questioned by prosecutors. a correspondent in cairo has the details. >> the former president is being kept in the intensive care unit of the hospital. we understand egyptians say television has been quoting medical sources. quite interestingly, which say that the president, since he heard two days ago that the public prosecutor wanted him for questioning, the public prosecutor is investigating corruption allegations, also the killings of hundreds of protestors during egypt's popular protests. now, mr. mubarak we understand since then has not even -- not eaten or drunk anything. there have been rumors of him suffering health problems before this heart attack that's being reported. we also understand that mr. mubarak is already in his first session with investigators at the public prosecutor's office when he started having these heart problems and was rushed to the v.i.p. session of the hospital along with

and shadi hamid, director of research for the doha center at the brookings institution.come to you both. looking to that report, you can't help but wonder is there a stalemate now on libya? >> there is a stalemate. neither side can decisively beat the other. so the question is how do we get out of this? so the only real solution that i think would be viable for the rebels and also for the western nations is that qaddafi has to step down. but he's made clear he won't do that. so i think that's where we get into a discussion about nato intensifying its efforts and america and its european allies more aggressively using air strikes and so on, arming the rebels, there's a variety of options that can be considered here. >> ifill: so emira woods, is this about the u.n. stepping up or there where it was supposed to be? it was never going to be resolved this easily. >> i think this is a reminder that military interventions are quite complicated and there are huge costs both in terms of treasure and in terms of lives when a military intervention is undertaken. i think clearly wha

>> i didn't say that, nor did i hear any discussion of the forces in doha or berlin. just didn't hear it to talk to others if that's what they're saying. it obviously seen the six we've been clear he has to leave power and president obama said it and as i mentioned he collected leaders and doha in berlin said the same thing. that is the core point, he needs to go and leave power. of course crossed people's minds and there's a number of options and discussions have been had but there is no formal process under way of identifying a place. we want to focus on the first part of that. >> you would like him to go sooner rather than later. there's nowhere for him to go. >> that's why people are thinking about -- the most important thing is that he leave power as soon as possible, and if going to and getting out of libya would keep him further away from power that would be a good thing. and so people are thinking about places he might go and he should do so sooner rather than later. >> i was wondering if you could give more details. it is almost two years since the nato membe

hundred three saying that it only allowed us air support now they were mentioning right here today in doha about the resolution does not preclude. its sales they are i think slowly edging. their own populations in the world community in to again slowly accepting the fact that they will increase their military activity in libya and if that means on the ground i believe they're willing to go on the ground so no what is the real deal here do you think the coalition actually does have a clear plan of what libya is going to look like and how it will be run off after gadhafi. well i think they have a clear objective but at this point no one has been able to execute a particular formula because there's so much confusion going on between state amounts to western allies as you've already reported today germany has one position germany wants to bring in the european union belgium doesn't want to arm libyan for libyan rebels italy and france say you know i do want to arm the united states already has cia there is a vision among the western forces however the main target is to co-opt a truly democrati

in doha, there was clear unity, with the african union in attendance. the group had agreed that the abu dhabi regime had lost all legitimacy and i will attend another meeting in may. i joined colleagues and showing our determination to enforce the u.n. security kerins resolution 1973. there was an agreed common strategy. that was an important milestone in world affairs, the sign of a growing ability to work across regional divisions and a demonstration of the breath and unity of the international coalition in support of the libyan people. on the economic front, further libyan entities have been sanctioned, and the regime is now subject to some of the most comprehensive economic sanctions ever agreed by the american by the group. there have been a number of strikes. there have been widespread problems. without these efforts, misrata would have fallen, with terrible consequences for its residents. the united states has contributed unmanned aerial vehicles. they are discussing the situation in washington today. there is the indiscriminate shelling of resid

the first meeting of the contact group was held in doha on april 13. the contact group came away unified in its commitment to a set of core principles for the path forward in libya. first and foremost, gaddafi and his mission -- his regime have lost legitimacy, leaving the libyan people free to determine their future. he must put it stopped to the -- his attacks onis that ta civilians. and reestablish water, electricity, and gas supplies. finally, the participants reiterated that a political solution would be the only way to bring lasting peace to libya and reaffirm their commitment to the sovereignty, independence, territorial integrity and national liberty of libya. that meeting reinforced the nato led coalitions' doors months of the principles set forth in doha and the commitment to sing those principals realized. the berlin meeting resulted in agreement on a clear set of objectives for operation unify protector. specifically, an end to attacks against civilians, worth -- .ithdrawal of regime forces an our envoy and specialists arrived in benghazi o

in fact, from 2002 to 2009 he was actively engaged with the doha development round.y this time. i have no doubt at all. he really goes back in time to the agreement that was one of the significant regional agreements that the united states reached, and he has started life as a foreign service officer but now is a permanent member of the civilian side, the civil side of the state department. and finally i want to introduce a colleague, bill krist. pill is a senior scholar who in fact is working on a book on the future of u.s. trade policy. i think is going to be a very interesting and provocative and timely volume. he has a great deal of experience himself in the trade field. he works on capitol hill. he spent several years at the u.s. trade representative's office and also was the senior vice president of a major business association in town with his responsibilities being principally on the international side. well that they now turn it over to the assistant secretary, and after he has finished, we will call on bill krist for 10 minutes of comments or so and then we

were popularity was at its weakest that is an american university started to move wholesale into new doha and abu dhabi now you have more american universities than ever before they have been around to see they have an impact on global values for the empowerment of women setter being promoted and happens not because of it is not a mandate to build these universities but because they could not get the says any more to come to the united states but so many were denied the opportunity to study in america so our universities went there and easily the smartest act of diplomacy and the important tool against terrorism that we have yet to undertake an and the fact it 7/8 from our universities sector which is one of the things that makes america a place but other societies look up to is that now we export it. it did not come from a washington directive. also where me diplomacy formation should be the easiest to do. we have the wealthiest private sector the deepest plunged of ngos and the most charitable populations in the entire world are all right here. so to point* this out to audiences oversea

as an example, yesterday i met with him and in doha, and we discussed the current operation as well as future political solutions to the situation in libya, but the daily tactics for the opposition groups to decide themselves. >> one last question. >> how will that affect afghanistan? >> the plebeian operations will not have any impact on our ongoing operations in afghanistan and by the way the reason i have to leave now is we would start in afghanistan meeting with our partners and a few minutes and it is also testament to our continued commitment to our operation in afghanistan, so i can assure you it lies within with the level of ambition and nato to be able to conduct an operation like the one in afghanistan in parallel with operations in libya without having any negative impact on the operation in afghanistan. >> thank you very much. the secretary-general will be back to answer questions tomorrow. .. >> to be a parent means you are treating the people you can't live without to live without you. >> nothing like that had happened to me when i was really thinking about college in the

i'm sure that everybody here is helpful you will be with us here in doha. please join me in thanking the secretary again. >> thank you. thank you. right down this way? [applause] [applause] >> ladies and gentlemen, dinner service and dessert will continue. thanks. >> on c-span2, a senate hearing looks into the environmental risked rosed by natural gas production. >> energy companies have increased u.s. natural gas production with a process called fracting. some studies said the process should damage the environment and underground aquafers. they looked into the risk and heard witnesses from the environmental protection agency. this is two hours and 15 minutes. >> welcome to the joint hearing between the full environment public works committee and the subcommittee on water and wildlife. i want to thank senator boxer and senator inhofe. let my say that united states has much natural gas as saudi arabia has oil. the shale which runs from central new york state to west virginia maybe the second largest natural gas field in the world. we have enormous reserves t

aware that apparently the saudis were extremely unhappy at a speech that secretary clinton gave an dohahe corrective leadership they thought pointed at them. we got down deep in the weeds of this. apparently in his last days at the state department spokesman, peter jay crowley was making a statement about the region in which he said the united states believes that governments in the region have to respond to and accommodate sentiments of the people including saudi arabia. i mean, a gratuitous addendum to the sentence as the saudis saw. the mubarak thing i don't think the saudis believe that the united states could or should have saved the mubarak presidency. what did they want us to do any more than we could have saved sharnak? but there is this sense that we contributed to the humiliation or should we say the unseemly haste with which we jettisoned somebody who had been perceived as being to the saudi view one of the good guys for a long time. you add up all of these things on top of the very lean during deep-rooted sentiment that we, the united states basically delivered iraq to the i

i don't know how many of you have been to alludade but this is right outside of doha and nobody wants to talk about it and they try to keep it quiet but my god it's the biggest air base i've ever seen. it's really miles and miles of airplanes parked and actually fighting two wars from there. my question is, on things to watch, we have very carefully -- nobody has asked how much that's costing us. and what's it buying for us? and that's -- that's been a subject that has been taboo sort of in washington. you just don't ask that question. i think that's not going to be taboo in the near future as the two wars wind down and i think they will one way or the other, iraq and afghanistan, we're going to have to ask what -- do we really need all of those facilities that we have now? in the indefinite future and are we prepared to pay for them and maintain and also the political costs that goes with it. i think for any of us who are thinking somewhat longer term, it is not a good idea to start with the assumption that the u.s. presence never changes. i think we're likely to see some changes and

also, the doha round, talking about currency manipulation, there are others that are just not on the plate. again, i would like to see that wrapped up, turning the focus to the bigger issues. i think that one of the big stumbling blocks has been brazil and others, pressing for more u.s. agriculture concessions. frankly, i would hope that subsidies would be looked at again in the farm bill, in the budget talks. i do not see why we are paying people in manhattan not to grow crops. i think that there are subsidies that could be cut and if the u.s. for more flexible, we could get more and manufacturing goods in these developing countries. i guess i was going to figure out things to say about doha. >> we are close to the witching hour and wanted to give our panelists a chance to make a final statement. mr. secretary? >> thank you for inviting me again. you know, i think it is important to keep an eye on the ball. with the korean free-trade agreement finished, the numbers are there. i think that we should be moving quickly to pass it. and that is what we will do, going forward. >> do you d

in doha, there are libyan rattles -- libyan rebels and they met. at the meeting, they said gaddafi must go. it was the first language than they used two weeks ago. there was a discussion about army and the rebels. the prince of qatar suggested they do that. there is a fund that will channel money to the national council so they can pay salaries. that is the news of the day. we are going to jump right into it. we are going to go to 7:00 p.m. i will save time for questions. of course, you know our distinguished panelists, senator mccain, republican of arizona, arizonaaujali -- ambassador aujali and martin indyk. senator mccann, how is it going? >> not too well. it is clear that if we had declared a no-fly zone when the rebels had momentum on their side, most likely be conflict would have been over. but that is history. i think it is important to recognize that we appreciate the contributions of all our allies, especially the british and the french and the efforts they are making. it reality is, the united states is nato. when you say we are handing i

i'm sure that everybody here is helpful you will be with us here in doha.please join me in thanking the secretary again. >> thank you. thank you. right down this >> let's meet another winner in this year's studentcam competition. today we go to marietta, ga., where robert johnson is a senior. hello, robert. why did you choose marijuana use, legalization, and law enforcement as your topic? >> at the time i chose my topic, marijuana was a big issue in california with the legalization and the proposition coming up to be voted on in november. we want to see how marijuana affected our community and our state, wanted to look into it. >> what did you learn from the law enforcement orders, and and judges from hit -- with whom you spoke? >> we learned about the effect on our community on the day today and the impact on the community was far more rigid was more for reaching that i ever thought, and basically the negative impact that it had on the community as a whole. >> what are those negative effects? has that led to the introduction of other drug use in the commit

i'll double check on that >> do you know if -- we heard that someone else is traveling co-doha as well>> i don't have any information on that. >> are any of your officials planning to meet with him? >> not at this point, but i'll find out. >> what is the capacity there? >> talk to the qatar authorities, they're the ones in charge. secretary clinton will meet with the jordanian foreign minister, it's an opportunity for them to further discuss libya and they'll discuss other issues including the recent formation of a new jordanian government and cooperation in the middle east peace efforts. the united states would like to express its deepest condolences to the people of belarus for the terrible loss of life and injuries due to the bombing of the subway on april 11. we condemn this heinous act and in this moment of sorrow we offer our sympathy to the families and loved ones of those injured or killed. that's all i have for the top. i'll take your questions. >> on libya, there seems to be some unhappyness in europe among your european nato allies, in particular your first ally ever, france

mission and that is precisely what took place over the two days with the contact group meeting in dohaddressing a range of political, economic, humanitarian, diplomatic factors calling clearly for gadhafi to go and making it clear he lost all legitimacy and should leave power so that libyans can shake their own future, and in the nato was a chance to follow up the next day. nato in berlin met with all 28 although lies plus six partners that joined the libya coalition, and, again, look guard to your questions on this. i want to draw your attention to was the statement that came out of that nato plus partners meeting on libya. i recommend you read it in full, but the most important part of it was when allies agreed very specifically to maintain a high operational tempo against targets and to exert this pressure as long as necessary until the following objectives are achieved. just to sum up the objectives nato agreed to were tax and threats against the tax of civilians must end, regime forces including snipers, mother their and others have to retreat from areas and a number of cities wer

airstrikes are continuing in the bill itself and in doha the contact group of libyan rebels along withers of the african union met and at that meeting they did to not to say gadaffi absolutely must go and tougher language then they have used before but it they are our main fear rebels with the prince actually saying fab but there was no agreement that they did agree to set up a trust fund from international donations to channel money to

i don't know how many of you have been to alludade but this is right outside of doha and nobody wants to talk about it and they try to keep it quiet but my god it's the biggest air base i've ever seen. it's really miles and miles of airplanes parked and actually fighting two wars from there. my question is, on things to watch, we have very carefully -- nobody has asked how much that's costing us. and what's it buying for us? and that's -- that's been a subject that has been taboo sort of in washington. you just don't ask that question. i think that's not going to be taboo in the near future as the two wars wind down and i think they will one way or the other, iraq and afghanistan, we're going to have to ask what -- do we really need all of those facilities that we have now? in the indefinite future and are we prepared to pay for them and maintain and also the political costs that goes with it. i think for any of us who are thinking somewhat longer term, it is not a good idea to start with the assumption that the u.s. presence never changes. i think we're likely to see some changes and

>> i didn't say that, nor did i hear any discussion of the forces in doha or berlin. just didn't hear it to talk to others if that's what they're saying. it obviously seen the six we've been clear he has to leave power and president obama said it and as i mentioned he collected leaders and doha in berlin said the same thing. that is the core point, he needs to go and leave power. of course crossed people's minds and there's a number of options and discussions have been had but there is no formal process under way of identifying a place. we want to focus on the first part of that. >> you would like him to go sooner rather than later. there's nowhere for him to go. >> that's why people are thinking about -- the most important thing is that he leave power as soon as possible, and if going to and getting out of libya would keep him further away from power that would be a good thing. and so people are thinking about places he might go and he should do so sooner rather than later. >> i was wondering if you could give more details. it is almost two years since the nato membe
