the 19 include the race but they also include hispanic and several other ethnicities. >> so the ethnicities will be a lesser included under the five races. >> going forward. and so has a -- because there's talk about a dropdown box and having that option in the dropdown box. has that option been created? >> no. i think susan was speaking -- >> two different dropdown boxes, win for race, one for ethnicity. >> some of this is new. >> it is not new. it's been there in the sheriff's system. the sheriff has been -- you know my understanding, and red d have to get them here the new release happened in october. so process-wise they haven't been using the ethnicity drop down but have agreed it start using it. >> we will use it according to this department bulletin. >> yes. >> that means going forward when we go back to the cal domg website for data for 2012 that we're going to have more hispanic numbers, not just the highway patrol numbers but also have sfpd numbers. >> it gets complicated. internally within san francisco, immediately we will be able to report arrests by ethnicity, immediately by u

there are like 1500 ethnicities in wikipedia. but anyway, there are 19 that the doj, the state, will accept from us. so -- and those are the exact same 19 that are in this system. so there is already a project underway to have the police and the sheriff be on the same system. it's called a single entry booking and we've made some really good progress on this. once that happens, that will take us hugely forward because we won't have the police on a separate system, our numbers trying to sync them up and we will each be able to report both race and ethnicity, and we'll have the same categories. so the recommendation here is that we basically complete that project. that way the police start the arrest, the sheriff finishes the booking, we replace three different systems in the process of the nine. so that's progress. that system also has a built-in tool that we can report directly to the department of justice. and it allows us to do the tracking that we want. there's a dependency here in that we're waiting for the vendor to make cri

in national terms, yes not in ethnic specific terms. how does this affect filipino americas. >> they were organizing around california. in san francisco the third world liberation front was formed to challenge education. the front was spearhead by the black student union who lead a coalition of hispanic and native american and others they had 15 demands intending to change the focus and the power structure of san francisco state. these 15 demands had 3 themes. the right of third world students to an education. the formation of a school of ethnic studies. and the hiring of third world faculty. school administration gave little response. history professor john martinez and george mirror were disciplined the school student actions were disrupted this had an increased police presence on campus. inspired by malcomx's philosophy, by any means necessary they made the decision to strike on november 6. 1968. hundreds of students disrupted classes and marched to the office. by november eighth class attendance dropped by 50 percent. students had p

, multi-ethnic society.oday, the city is dominated by bosnian muslims with a substantial catholic minority. most serbs live apart in an eastern corner of sarajevo. the 1995 dayton accord brought peace, a product of compromise from each side, but according to a salary of a theologian, the aggressors succeeded in one way -- people now largely stick to their own ethnic and religious groups. >> the present situation is a pity. people are ignoring each other. there is no wish to meet others. imagine in this information technology age, we do not want to meet others. there is a lack of knowledge of others. believe me, there are people living in this city who will not visit a church or a mosque belonging to others. people from the outside say, "talk to each other." that is something that even the politicians are not doing, not to mention religious authorities. >> his sisters trying to break down those divisions and build something new -- sister magdalena is trying to bring down this divisions and build something new

into account for ethnicity as well as a race? >> we would continue to report -- there is white hispanic, black and hispanic, asian and hispanic and other known. they are subsets of the other groups as a ethnicity just as there is a cambodian, chinese, filipino, hawaiian, vietnamese, korean, laotian that are ethnicities. we can break out any particular ethnicity further via the computer system at the jail or the claim -- crime data warehouse. >> they all fall under the category of latino? ha >> i don't know that. >> 5 that out. >> the question is if latino and his pecker said atoms? >> no, the black and latino or seven them so that we understand how the hispanic members. >> latino would not go with black. >> that is exactly the point. >> if you want to change what gets reported for the region to the fbi, they would have to make that change. we are reporting on what everybody else reports. >> i understand that we are reporting what everyone else reports. that will have to be changed. it will have to be taken on someplace else. but

there are a lot of ethnic groups represented here. many of them filled traditional gaps. for example, the green bazaar. they have different sweets and dried berries. >> we discovered a different kind of shopping experience in astana. the largest tent in the world designed to replicate a traditional yurt. it even has its very own indoor beach. it is similar to american malls, but this one has its own perch. kazakhstan is a huge country and business activity is very diverse. financial centers in the east. old world fishing and new world oil in the west. traditional music -- we found that, of course in a restaurant. at the magnificent opera house, there's the traditional opera. if you want traditional cuisine, you can find that right in downtown almaty. you will not be far from the most popular coffee shop in town. >> this is the north. most of these buildings are built right after the world war ended. this is the most popular area of our city. this is a place where famous ski -- famous people, businessmen spend their time to have their dinner or to make business conversatio

we'll see that this young country still struggles with border disputes, ethnic tensions and economicevelopment issues connected to its communist past and its independent future. thirty miles east of vienna lies a nation that is barely beyond its first decade of existence. the slovak republic-- or slovakia-- only came into being on january 1, 1993, with the breakup of the old czechoslovakian federation. french geographer ewa kulesza is exploring how boundary issues have affected the people of this young east central european country. located only three miles from the austrian border, slovakia's capital, bratislava, already possesses a long frontier history which starts with the danube. it was the northern limit of the roman empire. then, having fallen under hungarian domination during the ninth century, bratislava, then named pozsony, lay at the limits of the territory. later, pozsony became pressburg and marked the border of the two halves of the austro-hungarian empire. finally, pressburg became bratislava when, in 1918, the first czechoslovakian state was forged. but one war and a

done by the san francisco police department, in getting the information broken down by race and ethnicity. in as we may be -- as we may recall, the base citizen recently reported the san francisco police department has been underreporting the arrest rates for the city's -- two of the city's largest racial and ethnic minority groups, specifically the latino community and the asian community. as reported by the bay citizen, the san francisco police department has been classifying latino arrestees as white and asian arrestees as other. because of that classification we haven't been able to get a true and accurate depiction of how arrests are actually broken down by race and ethnicity. so what we have asked is simply to hold a hearing so that we can get more information on this particular issue. at the hearing that the police commission held on this matter, police chief suhr explained that the department of justice collects information by race, with only certain categories in mind, white, black, american indian, alaskan native, asian pacific islander and other. because of that certain informa

we need to build up ethnic harmony in our country. in the end harmony can only be brought about through mutual understanding and mutual respect. this does not -- this cannot be built up quickly, but we have to work at it, and i believe that we need a time frame when we are talking of political settlement. we cannot keep going on and on and on saying someday we'll get there. we have to have benchmarks. we have to have milestones. we have to know when we want to get to where, at what time, and we have to work towards it. again this is not what i'm here to talk about principally. i'm here to talk about u.s.- burma bilateral relations. so what i want to say is that i would like the united states to be aware of our problems. it is only by keeping up an awareness of our problems that we shall be able to establish a strong, healthy relationship between our two countries. i want our countries to be friends. you have been our friend. the friends of forces of democracy through long years, now it is time for you to be friends, friends of our who

. >> some will stay on to keep and lead on ethnic violence -- keep a lid on ethnic violence. >> there are still parts of the north that continue to be propped up by syria. >> on monday, the young republic of kosovo made the transition from partial to full sovereignty. the former president of finland flew in for the ceremony. the prime minister of kosovo, hashim thaci, greeted the 30- person delegation. he said this was a historic moment and his country had made a great deal of progress. in 1999, a different story. kosovo was racked by war and ethnic cleansing. the catalyst was years of oppression of the albanian majority by the serbian authorities. after the 11-week kosovo war in 1999, nato took control of kosovo, which was a province of serbia. in 2008, kosovo declared independence. the border between syria and kosovo was secured by international troops. outbreaks of violence were common, even against the peacekeeping force. a german general has taken command of the k4 mission. the troops are about to be beefed up. a former commander use this development with mixed feelings -- comman

rock reunion -- how young people are trying to bridge coast of those ethnic divide -- kosovo's and to divide. and green revolution -- canada's culture. the general wisdom is that renewable energy is the growth market of the future. it is well known that germany's leading the way in the sector, investing billions of euros in developing alternative sources of power, but in these times of crisis, some european countries, including spain, have all but pulled the plug on support for green energy. we visited a town that has lost the funding it used to get from the central government and with it, the few jobs that it had. the town mayor was so outraged that he put his life on the line in protest. >> madrid, 4:30 in the afternoon. he takes up his post outside the ministry of industry. he is 90 days into his thunderstrike and has already lost 25 kilos. he is visibly weak. three days ago, he was hospitalized. >> they admitted me because i had heart problems. because the body uses up its carbohydrate reserves first. then it's fatten and its protein reserves or muscle mass. and the heart is a mus

you mentioned nikki haley h. -- nikki haley heaven and ethnic advantage. you want to expand on that? >> how do i want to expand on that? this is a difficult question because people of color want to say no, no, no, no you are wrong but i think ethnicity and race are now less of an issue than gender. i think sexual orientation is a big issue. that is an incredible hurdle for men and women alike. and, it's not just because we elected barack obama president. i think a number of things have a kurd in our society through the years. yes there is still discrimination. there is discrimination galore in our society but in politics at the high level, i don't think race and ethnicity are as much of a problem as gender is. please feel free to say you are wrong because i am not speaking from those positions. >> nikki, ted, diana thank you all so much for a wonderful program tonight.

newcomers have often brought their own political cultures, the room loyalties and allegiances their ethnic and natural visages cultures and have ended up jostling each other. and especially at times of war come of this has the case in the year, sometimes the tragic consequences. i'm going to start by showing you these images, starting with the civil war. and again, the book starts well before that, but this is where we're starting tonight. so this is april of 1861 after the confederacy fired on fort sumter in the civil war began. this is one of the mass rallies in union square that ensued in new york in april 1861. and you see this outpouring of peach reaches them, flag-waving, enthusiasm. within a few weeks 16000 men from manhattan, which was then new york city and brooklyn had enlisted and were going south to guard washington d.c. it is a moment where many new yorkers hope that this unity will persist, to allow them to fight the war, support the work. but to me is kind of ironic and perhaps a harbinger of things to come in this field is this guy seems like he's not that happy in this gro

and an employee had scrawled an ethnic slur, they read it. of those customers is actually suing hooters, saying a, they were insulted. this is discrimination, and how could this be? that worker has since left hooters, so apparently is no longer working there. but the question is, is an employer responsible for the actions of its employees, whether they're still there or whether they have left? richard? >> well, an employee -- an employer is always responsible for the actions of its employees, fred, however, this case really -- if you want to open up the garbage can and throw it in there, this is the case to throw in there right now. i mean, this gentleman, this individual says he was humiliated, humiliated, and unable, now to go into any non-asian restaurant because some 20-year-old hostess made a terrible comment on a receipt that since she has apologized for. she quit her employment. you bring this case to trial with a brooklyn jury, in brooklyn new york, they will be on the floor in tears laughing and screaming for oxygen. >> no, they woul

and the government has reached cease-fires in long-running ethnic conflicts. her courage and leadership never wavered during years of house arrest and persecution. she and other prosecution leaders have joined with the new government to take the courageous step forward to drive these reforms. i have met with the president twice -- this summer in cambodia. i look forward to meeting him in new york next week for the united nations general assembly. at the state department, aung san suu kyi and i had a chance to talk about the work still ahead. and there is a lot of work. i think one of the important reasons for her work at this time is to remind us how much reminds -- remain still ahead. strengthening the rule of law, democratic institutions, addressing the challenges in many of the ethnic conflicts. per government and the opposition need to continue to work together to unite the country, not heal the wounds of the past, and carry the country for. it is also a bar to guarantee -- that is also key to gaurd aga against backsliding. there are forces that would take

liberty that the 13th and 14th amendment in this country out to give them regardless of race and ethnicity and gender and personal preference. she's just showing us how her personal bias is getting in the way of the obvious good decision making that anyone looking at the emerging majority minority in this country ought to be paying attention to. so it was ignorant and she looks ignorant and unfortunately, once again, it's another dent in the party that is trying or claiming

>> i think we could ask that of any ethnic group. we don't really what the impact is. we have seen kick insofar is insurance up to a later age in their 20s which doesn't help if your parents don't have insurance. so how do we increase access, no matter what your job is, more blue collar job or not necessarily working in a full-time job. >> it's too early to say if it's helpful or hurt hispanics? >> until 2014 until we see the mandate kick in, the push towards universal type of insurance, it's not that, but we don't really know. california is ahead from a state level to implement some of the affects of it. the whole idea is to get people into primary care and we don't know how it's going to play out. >> reporter: because we're spending too much money on it. what is the biggest challenges for employers like yourself when it domes healthcare. >> so an asset for any company and we are providing insurance and it's very expensive. we don't have the best solution. we cannot ignore teaching our people to keep a healthy party. it's like wealth. educating our people. and the old
