. >> this is our drc program. drug rehabilitation center. an in-house drug treatment center, a 90-day program for people in the bergen county jail. >> officer lopez is one of the supervisors of the drc. >> let's not get lax. >> the gentlemen here wake up at 6:00 in the morning. >> should there be no radios, right, in group? >> and a lot of people who are not used to the structure think that it's military. we don't run it like that, but i say things one time, and i expect it to be done. for them that's military, for anybody else, that's normal behavior. and we have a lot of people come in here thinking this program is one way and after 90 days they're totally different people. >> william says he can testify to that. >> it's a good feeling to have my spirit come back to life because i was dead coming in here. >> serving four months for theft and robbery, he's about to complete the 90-day program. in a few days he'll be released from jail and continue his recovery in a residential drug treatment program. today drug abuse counselor sam watson wi

this could make 2016 of potentially dangerous year for the drc. president hollande is in the spotlight in france as we ringing in a new year -- we ring in a new year. florence: this is over the controversial move to strip people of dual nationality. it is kind of overshadowing a lot of other big debates, which we should probably have as we go into a new year. you can always count on "charlie hebdo" to have a funny take on this. you can see francois hollande making his traditional e nd-of-year speech. aurore: and we will stick to "charlie hebdo," as they mark the anniversary of the terrorist attacks. on january 6, there will be a special edition of "charlie hebdo" to mark the anniversary of those attacks which took place on january 7 last year. it will be a double issue and run one million copies. they will reprint some of the best cartoons from some of the cartoonists who died in that horrible attack. you will be able to see some of their best cartoons, as well as cartoons from surviving staff members and messages of support from other celebrities

in the drc, it is unclear whether the president will run for office next year despite twice failing to amend the constitution to allow him a third term. it is a quarter past night in the evening here in paris. a reminder of our headlines this hour -- investing in african sunshine -- france announces a plan to spend billions on solar power and other renewable energy theurces on day two of cop21 climate conference in paris. moving toward more military involvement in syria -- the german and british governments prepared to ask lawmakers to approve new action against the 's syriantate group positions as requested by the french president. andebanese soldiers policemen have been set free by their al qaeda-linked captors in a prisoner swap deal that has seen 13 islamist militants released from lebanese jails. for some more business news. we have a strong message from the u.s. president at the paris climate summit. nott: barack obama really mincing his words today. saying it is imperative that climate change be tackled for the economy and security. he expects the world to forge a major climate

in the great lakes area where we have been talking about burundi there and there is problems in the drc big regional problems with security, with corruption and the president has in the last 10, 15 years really brought rwanda from the wilderness to a point today where businesses from around the world are starting to want to get involved. >> he is credited widely, isn't he, for the economic success of rwanda but he is also accused of stamping out any political dissension and any voices of opposition accused of stamping out and even been accused of condoning or allowing at least politic political assassinations of his opponents. >> take the second with a pinch of salt really. certainly he has in the west a lot of critics and a lot of people, human rights groups, lobbies in the countries which in some ways have not got over the president coming to power and unseating the government so there is a lot of politics going on within here. but i think you have to look at it from the point of rwanda citizens themselves and what they are saying with this poll is the fact we want more of the same, w

this partnership has transformed the lives of thousands of families in eastern drc.eginning. next month, dci will launch an economic development fund, to focus on expanding our work, not only coffee, but in cocoa and other expanding props. we will work with at least 10,000 additional farmers over the next 40 years to increase capacity and secure direct access to premium markets. this work is scalable, this work is reckless -- his replicable, and it just four short years, it will have an impact on 100,000 people. none of this would have happened without usaid, without their privatent, and without sector partners willing to operate in one of the highest risk environments in the world. agriculture will become a driving force for congo's economy, supporting 40 million people whose families rely on agriculture as a primary source of income. we believe a country with enough arable land to feed one third of the world's population should not struggle to feed its own people. the next two years represent a ,ritical turning point for drc scheduled for later this year and nation

but if you look at that in comparison to countries like congo, or burundi, or even the drc, you can hardly that these have brought about the transformation that people want. so i don't think this will become a trend. but the real long-term risk here is if the president decides to stay in rwanda, the signal that he is sending out to the countries is that he is the only person that can govern them. and i think in the long term that creates a stability problem, and that could bring up more instability in the future, that question will remain. >> okay. just put your thinking cap on for a second and see if you can come up with any one sub-saharan african country where one transition, peacefully and successfully, does it happen? >> what was the last question? has that happened? is that what you are asking? >> yeah, can you name any particular place where the succession is peaceful, democratic, and in line with the constitution time after time? >> well, obviously the big story for this year particularly was nigeria. we know that -- you know, it's very interesting if you talk to a lot of people in

those are the advantages that we see to drc. if you take together all of the technologies, any time that we can prevent a crash from happening, we get the benefits of all the congestion that happens when you have a crash. >> i can see that, but that's not really my question. i think we've covered safety and i completely see that. for some people their reaction when you talk about driverless cars, i'm not in control, what if something happens. i think 90% of fatalities are human error. >> yeah. >> it'll get better and better. >> how can it work in help to go alleviate a better management congestion in areas like ours? that was what i was getting at. >> if you take the whole system, certainly as we bring the infrastructure into play and traffic signals become more aware of what cars are flowing in what direction, they could pine themselves to optimize the traffic flow. better control by human operator will be able to follow each other a little bit more closely and in a safe more than and therefore make more efficient use of roadwa

in a number of countries and have seen both the positives that they can a country in liberia and the drc and some of very real challenges. where as you noted in your opening testimony there is a disconnect between the mission to protect civilians in training equipment leadership and the will to do so. start if you would by focusing on whether there is a mismatch between un security council mandates and what troop contributor countries are trained and prepared to do. i was encouraged by the presidential leadership in renewing a call for more advanced militaries to deliver not just logistics and intelligence and supplies but trainers and troops. mandates,connect the mission and capacity to deliver in the field? >> thank you senator, let me come back if i could by way of response to something that senator corker mentioned before which is the contrast with nato. is an example where we have national security interests in and peacekeepers and troops from other countries performing ably. this is not a nato situation where we are carrying a disproportionate share of the troops or the financial b

what's the situation about education over all in the drc right of? >> for me education holds a very particular place. there was a british politician who is going to all of us, when he was first elected as prime minister his campaign cry was education, education, education. i think it's transversal. it covers everything. with respect to the earlier question, i don't think we can understate the challenges that our generation are going to have to confront her and those are going to be compounded tenfold for our children. because mary robinson has said, we are the first generation to understand what's ahead of us, and we are the last generation to be able to do anything about it. it's a very poignant moment now. really the solutions, you know, i know when to say what the solutions are, but they do seem to light into three broad areas. one is technology. the other is behavior change. the third is governance and organization. the only way we can have radical shifts in that is to prepare ourselves and our children, and that can only be through education. >>

countries and have seen both the positive that they can accomplish in countries like liberia and in the drc and some of the very real challenges particularly where as you noted in your opening testimony there is a disconnect between the mission to protect civilians and the training, equipment, leadership and inclination or will to do so. so, start, if you would, by just focusing on whether there's a mismatch between u.n. security council mandates and what troop contributor countries are really trained and prepared to do. i was very encouraged by the president's leadership in renewing a call to more advanced militaries to deliver not just logistics and intelligence and supplies, but trainers and troops. how do we connect the mandates, the mission and the capacity to deliver in the field? >> thank you, senator. let me come back, maybe if i could, just by way of response to something senator corker mentioned before, which is the contrast with nato. i mean, this -- i just want to underscore, this really is an example where we have national security interests in peacekeepers, in troops from othe
