cleansing and genocide to create ethnically pure territories and all the talk about what the united states and the western european countries are doing in the region i may agree or disagree but that's not relevant to the issue of srebrenica it is not relevant to the issue of what belgrade tried to do which is after yugoslavia fell apart and after bosnia-herzegovina reluctantly went ahead with its independence most of these crimes including struggle needs to happen and i should also point out the strip it needs is the one that stands out the most not because the numbers there were even higher numbers of people killed in places like prayed or. seventy stands out because of a commitment made by the united nations and nato to defend it as a safe zone and a protected area but it was not and that's where i'm critical of the united states and that's why i'm critical of western europe and nato because they have so easily passed on this responsibility to the dutch indirectly to. general and his forces directly but what about their betrayal of srebrenica so if we want to talk about what the w

the collapse of ethnicities is part of a bigger, overall problem. a professor at harvard did a book on this. the loss of individual presidents come up ethnic rootedness, the sons of specialist -- the loss of individual rootedness, ethnic rootedness, the sense of specialness -- there is a notion of people having to create who they are, creating their own god -- it is a tremendous individual burden. we have not really faced what that means. that is ultimate freedom, choosing whom are god's -- who our gods are. that is a problem we increasingly will have to face. >> 1 out of 10 of everybody over the age of 60 in the united states is on some sort of an to the present -- antidepressant. depression is a disease of inaction. in a society where you have to make choices all the time -- as our big groups break down, politics become more individual. public issues are only thought of in terms of individual solutions. when we think of environmental issues, we -- what can i do as an individual? as the group's break down -- groups break down, more burden is put on

the ethnic community to the mainstream. so you first played in your -- what where he call in the day -- ghetto, but the rules thaw learned or the skills thaw learned you later took into the mainstream. we're just seeing that play out exactly again today. you know, people -- latinos get involved in politics because they care about immigration and they go to demonstrations but the next thing you know they're registering to vote. or people go to their hometown associations or the associations that come out of mexicans ban together to have a home town association to send money back to their village. before you know it, if you're playing in your home town association, one study looked in chicago, you belong to four other organizations rf some kind in chicago that doesn't have to do with mexicans or mexican americans. you can play in politics in the u.s. home foun associations also lead to voth. again, the most interesting of these analogies is how you start your own ethnic business in the neighborhood, a mexican restaurant for m

that a massive campbell talks about are real and i will add one more which is that there are real ethnic divides within the south and there are perceptions that the southern government and the southern leadership are dominated by a few ethnic groups and that's something that the southern people will have to deal with early on that kind of ethnic division has been very problematic in other parts of africa and i'd like to go to you i mean when helping some south sudan develop its institutions it looks like the military and security get a lion's share of foreign aid united states state department is one hundred million dollars a year at the expense of everything else infrastructure wise and we're talking about one of the poorest places on the planet is that a wise move. well i think it's. it's an understandable move to begin with i mean notice that in my mind could this and i are all in washington and we have our fingers down on how sudan policy gets me and i think people have been rightly worried about the war in their domain eighteen. of the sudan and we're in for the last few days presid

and the ethnic issues but i think we do have the example of other problem areas in africa in the south in sudan needs people in the government how congo large by the do need international help and international assistance and imus also argue that i'm on the hopeful side and not not in and i mean sense because you know we are in washington washington they're celebrating july fourth over two hundred years of the and different is if you cast your mind back it looks like a very impossible mission when windows peters be clear independence and so when people feel strongly about it it can take on the challenges i do think we must find time to talk about the rule of khartoum and president bashir here because with all of the internal challenges collinson done i do think are you with us i was actually as we as we are after we return from a break after the break we'll continue our discussion and spend state. still. the close up genius to the republic of north ascension where the area is occupied by nature preserve. this time our team goes to the region where men flock from all over the world to a

acclaim in that each ethnic group in the u.s.s.r. has its own culture language territory laws and so on would you agree with that. cylinder which i would in general it's rather true than false but i'll be deliberate after all i'm representing the migration service. the federal aviation service is trying to learn some lessons we're wising out from what we see in the west we definitely try to learn. those are sometimes complicated larson supports what we are thinking of and them from for example we have developed a database which so far doesn't have an analogy in a west. it's a database to register foreign nationals in russia and with a show we use it to work with online data and the number of foreign citizens in russia and we know how many of them are in russia and generally what sort of work they two inches per example at this moment russia is hosting about nine point eight million foreigners. that's almost ten million that's right but some say it's just by rights issue difference related with what it is you listen to you're talking

you know ethnic tensions can be used again benefits you even political benefits. and some dishonest people can use. i mean people who have certain political ambitions richest people who have certain political goals so you know those are people's you on the. security services should find it will never know which. i for one have never heard of an openly intelligent person to be elected to the russian parliament and so you have extensive and remains at street level and in the press media given that why are some people still trying to enter it it was like that well this just means that we are doing a good job i don't mean myself but rather my colleagues that this means we are able to prevent the zener folks from reaching their goal beat getting a duma seat who are infiltrating other agencies this means our efforts are using positive results so. the quality and qualification of migrant workers who come to russia have a great impact on people's attitudes toward migrants it's one thing when you have construction workers coming into the country and it's a completely diffe

love that it's the flow of words to europe has changed the demographics of the old world the police ethnic and cultural prophets have made some official suggest that the policy of multicultural europe has failed the problem is pretty similar in russia as a growing number of migrants from the former soviet republics come here to what are the russians learning from the european experience or rather heading their own way here's the director of the federal migration service. that it's. easy to publish by the federal immigration service a million economic migrants come to russia every year many of them come to the country illegally and have no qualifications another problem is people coming from the region either speak russian badly or don't speak it all together these factors make their integration to russian society difficult or impossible this leads to rising racist anger but they handle the aftermath. he says russia needs these migrants to make up the shortfall in the workforce. and honestly thinking for coming toward talk show hello my very first question before we actually start discussin

say if you were something to emphasize your ethnic identity or even clothes yes clothes then. that's the basic approach meanwhile i believe you should spend money to erase differences and farkas around promoting integration integration is something meant for those who plan to stay in country for good. i'm sorry to interrupt you but there is an interesting twist you against spain several decades along with billions of euros in order to be able to say we are day worse we can be different and still live side by side it is something that the soviet union in many if you will by the way which you are suggesting this approach should be replaced by the american model the sensible one but usually it's the melting pot the nothing part of become is your but here you must melt into a new society of the future if you think this is a more viable option the leaders of france and germany have already acknowledged that multiculturalism is something of a high property see and essentially mistake that. i don't go for extremes so the notion of a melting pot or anything related somehow casting doe

both wars will begin between the ethnic groups. thank you very much whether or not washington decides to leave behind a contingent of u.s. troops in iraq the kurds have a historic opportunity in their trials towards some term and nothing in their history suggests that they will be deterred from pursuing a bid for statehood. for crosstalk. ok officials and washington if i can go to you first here as we discerned that report given the circumstances of the withdrawal of the american withdrawal from iraq and what we call the arab spring here what is stopping the kurds from really going for an independent state something that they have strived for for a very long time now and the circumstances to do that are probably better now than ever before what's stopping them. thank you for giving the opportunity to be under show i think there are an array of reasons that stops the kurds from declaring an independent states economic and political geopolitical and and there's not there's not one single reason that says this is the one trees and i t

and it doesn't matter what your race, ethnicity or sexual orientation is necessarily.ese are kind of lifestyle communities. are there problems with that? doesn't threaten social provision? it certainly does in some degrees. is it the kind of absolute dystopian nightmarish threat that these descriptive hierarchies of race and ethnicity and gender were? i don't think so so in a sense just looking at the broad world in perspective this is a nice problem to have. it is a good album to have if people have the choice to get into these different clubs as opposed to being slotted into something by fake. >> if everybody can choose their own gated community and there are no restricted restrictive governments as you mentioned earlier that is still a good problem to have? >> there is the class to mention. a few of the one class society and some people decide to be bohemians and others decide to be puritans, that is one thing. s. we have seen we have an increasingly stratified class system in this country for various reasons. and the allocation of people by race and ethnicity is no

. >> they can rely on the ethnicity. >> reporter: he calls the scam an ethnic bustout. >> they rely on the community, they put ads in the community newspapers, they sell tickets for a while, then make the big score by selling a lot of tickets and disappearing with their consumers' money. >> reporter: when this type disappearing act happened within an ethnic community, there can be added complications. >> different cultures, different part of the community, there may be a reluctance to cooperate with law enforcement. >> reporter: especially concerning in this case more victims who don't realize they have been scammed, who may be more likely to trust their community members than the police. >> i trust my own kind. >> reporter: they should always check to see if your travel agent has a cst number which stands for california seller of travel. in california, if you purchase from a company with a cst number, you're eligible for restitution. unfortunately, this business didn't have one. police are asking any new victims to contact san jose pd and if you have a consumer complaint, contact us.

[applause] ethnic pride, you know? ethnic pride. president chiu: thank you. >> hello.oper. i do a lot of healing work in the community. one of the things i remember our last mayor said is he wanted to find the murderers in this town. there were a series of events what went on with that mayor. what i have heard is that murderers are down, but gang murders are up. i have been concerned about hearing about african american man, 20 years old -- i just heard it on the bus on my way here. a 19-year-old african american man murdered, a shootout in richmond, about the same age group. when are people going to wake up? murder is not healing. it really is not. i am really concerned about it. i am not sure if the mayor really let us down or if somebody has really taken it on. i do have issues with the police department. i appreciate them. but i really am paying attention to jeff hidachi. i was hoping he would be here today. i would like to talk to him. anybody that has stood up and made statements to support our constitutional rights should be highly commended. the police state is

prime minister thaci said this should not affect ethnic serbs living in the area. with the ban in place, they have no access to serbian goods. the international community has spoken out, appealing for calm. the commander of nato peacekeeping in kosovo has said his force would not tolerate an escalation of the violence. during talks with cosimo's prime minister -- kuntsevo's tom prime minister -- kosovo's from minister thaci, he asked for peace. >> a raid by government troops near damascus. troops backed by tanks entered a town in syria and opened fire. the soldiers apparently believed the locals had supplied provisions to anti-government protesters. activists say the syrian army has also increased its presence in homs. video online also claims to show military reinforcements entering the city on tuesday. deutsche welle has learned that iranian actors and film maker pegah ahangarani has been erased -- released on bail by authorities in tehran. she was about to come to germany to write about the women's soccer world cup for our farsi service when she was arrested in

ethnic and cultural. multicultural europe has failed the problem is pretty similar in russia as a growing number of migrants from the former. all the russians learning from the european experience or rather heading their way here's the director of the federal migration service. the data published by the federal migration service a million economic migrants come to russia every year many of them come to the country illegally and have. another problem is people coming from. either speak russian badly or don't speak it all together these factors make their integration into russian society difficult or impossible this. racist. but they have. russia needs to make up the shortfall in the workforce. thank you for coming to. my very first question we actually start discussing immigration and whether we should try to prevent it or merely regulated is this present day industry developed economies do without migrant labor at all or are migrants absolutely indispensable and then we should take for granted. well that'

the most interesting of these analyses are the way you start your own ethnic business in the neighborhood, a shop where people can buy the kind of things that they miss from home, and that next thing you know, your edging over into a mainstream market. i want in on the notion of the heisman that has been the notion that defines how ethnicity works in america and how it bridges to the mainstream. teddy roosevelt raged against the hyphen, but it is the secret of how works when it comes to immigrate. we do not ask you to be jews still loyal to the old things for america. a lot of european countries say give that up. in america, be part of those organizations but the hyphen will help you bridge, it is an ad on choice. >> the panelists painting a rosier picture than in the past. we're putting things back together and making them more human face -- unified and i will resist that a little bit. let me do that by asking a broad question, motivated by a bumper sticker that i see in the wealthy, liberal area that i live in. unity through diversity. is that tired slogan, left over from the days of hy
