any power that wanted regional dominance needed to be in strategic control of cyprus.n modern times, it has been labeled the unsinkable aircraft carrier in the eastern mediterranean because it holds an important british military base. >> so location and history kind of link up to give cyprus a very unique position in the world and a very unique character. >> of course, a cypress is a mixture of its past and different influences in history. there are people with different traces in the region but he emerged largely into a greek- speaking orthodox community. six the 16th century when the ottoman empire took over cyprus, its second significant community emerged which was muslim and turned into a turkish community and there were smaller minorities. there were catholic from the domination during the venetian perios, and the marqanites and other groups. >> when you turn the clock back and go back thousands of years and ride up to the present day, the modern day, a country that has been occupied, vandalized, kamel -- colonized -- does this history, this -- does this was on ev

good insight into the nature of the syrian people who because of their resistance to us israeli domination possess a deep sense of national unity contrary to what some parties say we do not need to send weapons to syria we simply articulating our support for the syrian people and the reforms of president bashar al assad we have also said clearly that we recognize and understand the objectives of the u.s. and zionists in this vitally important middle east country and we would not allow america to use unrest in the country to install new power structures that would upset the balance of power in the region certainly not without the demand and will of the syrian people since america cares only for its own interests on the contrary we've received accurate intelligence from our allies the tens of us israeli backed trucks loaded with weapons have crossed syria's borders bringing more danger to syria fortunately syria and the syrian people have been able to face all foreign intervention over the past few months the result was the public referendum on the syrian constitution which was held peaceful

i don't think that any country regional or model will dominate and we are headed to a world that for the first time in history will be interdependent, globalized, but without a political thinker. >> why do these terms takes a long? you're talking about the term since the 17th and 18th century you are talking about the next term that we are in. >> i think this turn will be the fastest turn ever because we live in a digital age, and we are seeing how quickly china is growing, how quickly they are catching up economically with the united states and consequently the degree to which globalization brings back economic change to the u.s.. we've lost roughly half of our manufacturing jobs in the last ten years in part because economic activity is moving so quickly elsewhere but in general to the score overtime becomes tomorrow's periphery. today's periphery becomes tomorrow's core and that is the business we look historically as far back as we can go you see the great powers don't stay on top forever and that there innovation, they're know how gradually moved to other regions the less develo

the communist plok woubloc woulo see the entire world under domination. the determination has convinced them that the war would be the costly gamble, they have begun to talk more and more about their ability to win from us in the arena of ideas. this of course is fine with us. for we are a people with a traditionally great faith in our ideas. the ideas that have moved mountains and created wealth and shaped us as free men. and we are confident that history can do no other than award us the victory and any -- in any contest in which ideas are the weapons. >> i would like to say this. confidence by itself without effort does not win contests. victory in this conflict depends on much, much more than confidence. it is a contest unlike any we have ever faced in our history as a nation. it is total competition with an antagonist who is putting into everything within his capability. it is not a conflict between peoples. but between basic values and systems of government. between the principles of life, each believes in. and we talk of these conflicting values, w

by 1400, this was the city-state that dominated central italy.ut bankers and textile merchants were expanding their trading empires all over europe. over the next 100 years, an extraordinary interaction took place in florence-- the innovations of artists and architects, the excitement of rediscovering classical achievements, and the patronage of a wealthy commercial class. these key elements brought about a series of artistic and intellectual breakthroughs that came to be known as the renaissance-- literally the rebirth of learning and culture. in the church of santa croce, a series of frescoes painted around 1320 were to have a revolutionary effect on florentine painting. here, the great merchant families competed with one another to commission the leading artists to decorate their chapels. in the chapel of the bardi family, professor john white of university college, london, describes how these medieval images came to life. this is a franciscan church, and the franciscans were the passionate preachers of the late medieval world. they used their

and by roughly 17, 1800, europe was dominant.so the pendulum had swung from istanbul, from delhi, from that part of the world up to northern europe. and what i'm arguing in this book is that pend lumbar has started to swing -- pendulum has started to swing again. and that's because we see power moving from the west -- that is to say north america and europe -- and it's heading east, but it's not just heading east, and that's why i call the book "no one's world." i don't think that any country, region or model will dominate. in fact, i think we're headed to a world that will be interdependent, globalized but without a political anchor. >> host: why do these turns take so long? you're talking about a turn since the 17th and 18th centuries. you're talking about the next turn that we're in. >> guest: well, i think that this turn will actually be the fastest turn ever because we live in the digital age, and we're seeing how quickly china is growing, how quickly they're catching up economically with the united states. and consequently,

and the domination of the middle east. it's profoundly irrational to suggest that the ayatollahs think the way we do or share our values. they do not. i will bring the current policy of procrastination toward iran toward an end. i will not delay imposing further crippling sanctions. i will not hesitate to fully implement the ones we already have. i'll make sure iran knows of the very real peril that awaits it if it becomes nuclear. i will engage iran's neighbors. i will station multiple aircraft carriers and warships at iran's door. i'll stand with the syrian people who are being mercilessly slaughtered. i know the fall of assad would not only be an important victory for liberty but also a strategic blow to iran. as president i'll be ready to engage in diplomacy, but i will be just as ready to engage our military might. israel will know that america stands at its side in all conditions and in all consequence. of course, our strength abroad depends upon our strength here at home. my economic plans will buttress our capacity

just as intel dominated chips and microsoft dominated software and apple owns the entire tablet mark, nov has become one of the dominant players because it has unparalleled technology. the other competitors can't keep up. think apple, they can't keep up. deep water drilling has only been possible since the mid '90s. first generation of deep water rigs were built in the late '90s. we saw a second wave of deep water rigs being built that were vastly superior. since then the company has delivered 62 floating rigs, highly advanced pieces of machinery, far superior to the first generation of deep water technology. how do they do it? for starters, they operate four technical colleges. they have their own higher education system, and they train hundreds of highly skilled service technicians to build the rigs. does that sound like an old metal bender, or is that a technology factory? all that expertise is coming in handy because we're experiencing a real renaissance in deep water drilling. earlier this week we heard from jim hackett, one of the most aggressive deep water explorers out there a
