>> joining us is our guest reporters along with tom donahue of the u.s. chamber of commerce. >> let's talk about the obama presidency which has come along with since the financial crisis but the regulations in most areas of the business sector, many businesses are crying foul. what grade would you give him on his handling of the economy? >> first of all, you have to give the president little bit of cover. he took over the economy at a very difficult time. we had worked with president bush on the tarp funds but the first step out of the box was to fail to get a stimulus bill out of the house. at that time, our view is that without regard to what the action was in the united states that you were leaning across to the world the possibility of a global depression and that is when the chamber stepped in and help him to get the stimulus package which we knew would have problems. in the beginning, he stepped in it a tough time. i believe that the president's efforts to drive a health-care bill that turns out to be extraordinarily expensive and with a great deal

steven donahue from mclarty associates. you have given us reasons why free trade works. it's something that we need to be reminded of often here as you said,s you instructed us, we need to remind our populations in both countries of that. some of the neighbors in the southern don't have quite the same attitude. as you take your leadership role at the g-20 meeting coming up what its the message for some participants in the meeting that have perhaps taken a less positive view towards free trade, being more protectionist and involved in expropriations. >> well, first, we are taking seriously our responsibility chairing the g-20. and actually we are working in several priorities. of course, stablizing the economic situation. and improving growth conditions. redefining, reinforcing international financial architecture, food security, green growth, among others. talking specifically about your point, for us it is absolutely clear that one of the most important alternatives in order to recover growth in the world economy is trade. investment, private companies. freedom. so in t

donahue, for your comments and words. and especially for your support to mexico and the freedom and trade that we share. thank you for all you have done in favor of our country. and congratulations for this centennial at the u.s. chamber. i think that the role of the chamber for the united states and also for mexico has been crucial improving the conditions of the people. thanks for your comments about our ambassador. indeed, we have a very good one, ambassador, who's smart with a lot of commitment. yes, he's a pain and that is the reason we have him here in washington, d.c. let me start talking some about the mexican economy situation. i need to say under the circumstances of the global troubles we are looking, the mexican economy i can say is in good shape. we grew last year like 4% in our gdp and we were able to create almost 600,000 new jobs in the formal sector in net terms, which implies a the importance of the mexican economy. public finances are in order. we have a deficit of 0.4%. even if you include the total in

was a majority position of the american populace at their word so they couldn't even handle phil donahue i don't think julian the sun is exactly their cup with the journalist on the ball thanks so much for joining us on the outskirts of the q three we're. live from moscow this is our new photos of american soldiers posing with afghan corpses and most in the u.s. the images appear to be another example in a series of extreme breaches of discipline by u.s. troops which dangerously undermine their position with the afghan people. very sensitive moment and these images are quite grim so grim that the u.s. department of defense did specifically asked the l.a. times not to publish these photos but the paper said that it was for sponsible to report a captive late on the u.s. mission in afghanistan and decided to move forward publishing these photos now in these photos that were taken in two thousand and ten you could see u.s. paratroopers grinning either holding body parts of afghan corpses or squatting beside afghan corpses and they were smiling or making different gestures to the camera u.s.

donahue says he did not investigate allegations of abuse. >> those allegations did not go to reverend spect and his office. they went to a separate director. >> the bishop retained an independent investigator to go over every decision and case reverend specht was involved with. >> to relay any concerns that the processes used by the diocese and the decisions made by the diocese may have been compromised in any way. >> reverend specht denies the allegations and police have not filed any charges in this case. if you or someone you know has had inappropriate contact with father specht, fairfax county police want to hear from you. brian. >> audrey barnes tonight. the news edge following breaking news in maryland. charles county investigating its first murder of the year. sheriff deputies responded to report the multiple gun shots at the county social services building around 9:00 tonight. they found a man dead allot front. investigators say the shooting was done from a car. streets in the yaifer are closed. so far, no suspects or motive. >>> police say a woman was found dead inside a vaca

the book comes out in a matter of days, phil donahue is coming out of retirement to interview us on this program next monday night. back to what we're talking about, how do you believe this issue and the fact that the committee failed, that there are two visions of america. how will this play itself out, the deficit discussion on the campaign trail? >> until we get a clear understanding that the problem isn't just theovernment, but the problem is that the american people have to reconcile that we have got some deep divisions. and at the same time, this is and the america of old where we get to recession. a. we have a lot of competition around the world and we try to do this stuff together. when you held principally very wealthy folks and you expect the trickle-down effect help the folks in the bottom, you will not get there anymore. you have to reconcile the difference about the very conservative and a more moderate liberal side where they say you can't do anything with the tax code unless it is tax cuts. those of us on the democratic side are willing to say that if you want to reshape s

you heard it from tom donahue and from the corporate members to continue to work to see that mexico joins the transpacific partnership agreement. you have our support. you have our commitment. and third, you saw it in the report you've seen it since you helped launching this initiative in 2010, you have our commitment to continue to grow the competitiveness of the north american region in particularly with the focus on u.s. and mexico. and our report highlights some of the areas we'd like to continue to work with your government. finally, this is a man of great courage. a man of great conviction. a man what has clearly led his country to greater prosperity. we congratulate you. we wish you good luck in the final period of your time as president. and of course, you came here as president elect. you've come here as president. we expect you back after you have been president. so thank you very much and thank all of you beforing if here today. >> thank you very much. >> if everyone could stay seated as the president leaves the stage and another round of applause for him. thank you. >>> solici

i like to quote tom donahue on this. he always reminds me never to take any of this personally or take it badly as canadians sometimes do. heap said the only reason americans, the united states, sometimes treat canada badly is because we view canadiens not really as a important country but we view canadiens as family and that's how we tree our family. >> ross: on that fot, love to making this your only stop. i think enjoyed your human, your substance and your commitment to our shared relationship. >> thank you. thank you lot.

come up to the podium, the microphone here or do a phil donahue thing and bring it out to you if that's okay. my question is specifically on the framework if i could ask, as proposed, how important, how much of a linchpin is it that congress enact legislation? can this framework go on with success without legislation? how important is it not only for your view of success, in ntia's view of success but also meeting a level of adequacy when it comes to the european commission's privacy directive? >> it's an excellent question. i'd say that we think that a long run -- in the long run, legislation is essential here. and there's two reasons. first of all, i think that there was a sense in the mid '90s when we first engaged the question of internet privacy in the united states, that this was a very new environment, that we didn't want to certainly overregular late it, we wanted to allow it to continue to evolve and we still feel that way. i think what we've learned that is we actually, in the framework that we described in the legislative model that we described, that we can maintain the kind

and you heard ambassador donahue's statement yesterday. and we'll be doing that throughout the duration of the week. but let's look at what has been accomplished under u.s. leadership. for the first time ever a special rapporteur on iran. several strong resolutions on syria including the establishment of a commission of inquiry that has revealed so much about assad's abuses. kicking libya out in a special session. and there too an important commission of inquiry that has shed the light on gadhafi-era abuses. important resolutions on sudan, burma, north korea, democratic republic of congo, et cetera. a new rapporteur for the first time on freedom of assembly and association. and a working group of experts to prevent discrimination against women. among many other positive steps. with respect to u.n. women, let me say we very much strongly supported the establishment of u.n. women. we supported its growth and development. the challenge now is for it to become a presence in the field and provide tangible support to women on the ground. our res

donahue from ebay, one of my favorites, his granddaughter, a bit of a visionary like you. one more question. i'm trying to figure out exactly what it is, what deca tech is going to mean. it is clear the way you split the company, knew this would be very big i think. but it was a found degree, i don't know where it fits in with the future of tj and cypress. >> we started the name, we are trying to do apple, or excuse me, do sun power again. we make chip scale packaging. they take a chip. instead of putting it in a package four or five times bigger than the chip, put little bumps on the trip, put it face down on the board, put a lot of chips side by side. in cell phone, you can't make one this big without doing that. that technology is a fab technology. made like you make wafers. it is expensive. we're using sun powered technology that makes it 50 times cheaper, sun flower solar cells are cheaper. we are going to make that chip scale packaging at the present times cheaper. that's why the company picked its name. there's also things i am not ready to talk about yet. we're tal
