christian region, what has -- what so many wars happen in the name of kristie an knit at this in america or in europe those who are claiming to be adherent to the christian faith. there are things that found through history. this can be changed. first reaction was the syrian reaction. any person who loves this country -- every person who belongs to his country, a city, every person who loves his village, that he will probably love it more than any other village or city and that will not stop him from being a nationalist who loves his country as a whole. we are syrians. there is no confliction between arab feeling and syrian nationalism. the division between arabism and nationalism is important and for the future f. we divide, if we separate such matters will know that arab image is belonging not a membership, is an identity. arabism is an identity that you have. it's an honor with its arab nations. some people might say that about arab image and especially we talk about arab. if arabism is a -- arabism is a civilization, joy want history, joyant religions between different ethnicities and the last th

taxed in the united states that oil will never make it to your car it's going to go to south america or europe or asia on proof did you know that gasoline just became the number one export of the united states that's right we're already shipping more gasoline around the world than anything else that we make or do in the united states so if we don't really need more oil well what about the need for jobs that's the second sales pitch they argue that the x.l. pipeline will stimulate our economy and create tens of thousands of jobs turns out that's also a lie pipeline will only create a few thousand jobs anywhere between fifteen hundred four thousand and those jobs will be temporary lasting just two years plus more jobs may be lost than gained as a result of the pipeline. since this dirty tar sands oil is going to be moved into export oriented refineries demand for oil in the us will actually go up and prices will go up too according to an independent analysis gas prices in the midwest would increase by twenty cents a gallon as a result of that pipeline reaching the export ships in the gulf of mex

europe. that move upset not just the chinese or america's government. and just last month, the highest court in the e.u. rejected a legal challenge from u.s. airlines against paying the charge. chinese air transport association now says chinese airlines will not be forced into paying it, and the chinese government is considering counter measures against the e.u. the bbc's damian grammaticas is in beijing, and he says the charges got under the skin of both american and chinese airlines. >> china seems to be taking a tougher stand than the americans have. the americans already brought that legal challenge you were talking about, which was thrown out in europe. the chinese airlines, the china air transport association speaking for them, is telling us that it is still considering its own legal challenge. the chinese airlines will not cooperate with the e.u. in its attempts to levee this carbon charge, this carbon tax on all flights coming from china. and as you indicated also, saying the air transport association here saying that the chinese government is c

we do not know where this tour group is from, america or europe, but as soon as the police received thathone call, especially because she is a tourist, they went around this area, it's a damn about 90 minutes. it happened right next to this building but this has nothing to do with the fisherman's wharf. i'm does using it as a landmark. >>darya: in san francisco, their rain over the weekend loose and several boulders on telegraph hill. they crashed down onto this parked car. from the hillside is still considered unstable this morning ferry it massive boulders are still sitting next to a condominium. jackie sissel is live near telegraph hill to tell us how big these boulders really are. sometimes it's hard to get a perspective. this one looks queued at. >>jackie: they are huge. then once you get close to the realize the magnitude of the slide. this older is 7 x 7. the size of a small car. city officials and a geologist are going to be back out here to see if there is anything more they can do. first and >>darya: and jackie, thank you. we will check back with you later. >>mark: here is a li

unless we think this is academic, go into any school system in america or europe, now in africa and asia, and the kids are learning biosphere consciousness. all in five years they're going home and saying to their parents, why is the electricity on in that room, there's nobody in that room, it's wasted. why do we have such a big car that uses so much petrogasoline. why is this hamburger on my plate, where did it come from? how were my clothes -- how were they grown? what young people are learning is that every single thing that they engage in, has an ecological footprint that affects the well-being of some other family or some other creature somewhere else in this boyosphere. that's biosphere consciousness and they're connecting the dots. for example, the hamburger on the plate did it come from central america? did they have to raise the force in order to create the soil, space or the cattle? and when they razed had forest did they have animal species that went extinct because they relied on that tree canopy and when they razed the trees they were no longer serving as a carbon sink and t

important is to remember is that it was a beverage, almost exclusively not dissing america's but in europe until the 18th or 19th century. so it was a stimulant beverage use in some some ways the way we think of coffee today. and i could go on about it. >> please do. >> chocolate had a more restricted domain in the americas and tobacco. it was used by groups we know today as aztec and mayan and other groups in the broader region, call mesoamerica. and it was, many different concoctions, but one of the favorite lines had cacao, the central ingredient, mixed with water. and then a whole of spices, chili peppers gave it a kind of spicy bite, and others which made it read, and the redness is really actually very central to the experience, reminded people of blood. and flavorings such as the nl and two other common ones we don't use anymore never respected to the americas for the most part. but decade a kind of a cinnamon experience. in consuming chocolate, for instance, it was really a whole sensory experience that it wasn't just about the case, it was also about texture. there was a foam on top is really impor

europe? are we going in the direction of the united states of america? how do you see the future of europe if a young man or a young woman were to ask you today what would you were look like in 20 years' time. what would be your answer? >> translator: i actually think that we are a model in and of itself. a very unique model. the united states of america so quickly will not be a sort of role model to follow. but i think what we really need is a very clear commitment among ourselves that we wish to coordinate our policies as closely as possible. as regards the relationship between the nation state and europe, we will have very difficult debates ahead of us, because particularly in germany, there are very strict rules that are laid down and also monitored. but the federal and constitutional court as to the very structure of a nation state. i would say to young people in a few year's time, you will be able to change residence as students do these days. quite often you will be able to take your pension rights with you. you will be able to take out insurances. you will be able to take up a place of residence and

america's. it was also well behind europe. contrast that with growth per person, orita, and japan actually outperforms america and the eurozone. so while japan's economy in aggregate has been hurt by this lack of workers, for the average japanese, income is still up, and quality of life is still very high. that's partly why the country has not felt the pressure to reform. now, it's easy to extrapolate from the data. the japan's low growth is not a failure of economic policy but just a reflection of its demographics. but that's too simple. in reality, japan's industry is becoming less competitive, and even per capita incomes will start slowing down. tokyo's policymakers have failed its people. they could have opened up many of its closed sectors to competition, reformed its labor laws to make japanese labor more attractive, cut pension benefits, allowed more immigration. its government could have put the country on a path to reduce its massive debt burden. instead, we're entering an era where one of the great manufacturing nations of history faces a looming current de

america into europe. >> president obama has been building a european-style welfare state. >> give the american people a chance to decide permanently whether we want to remain the historic america ornew secular, european-style system. >> it may be since i was born in europe, i'm a little more sensitive to these things. but in raemt, this is a massive hoax. or to use newt gingrich's favorite word, the biggist pile of bologna that's ever been served. it's actually the republicans, both those running for president and those already elected to the house, who desperately want to follow that continent. how so? well, as we know, the global recession, which began in 2008, has forced countries to respond in different ways. the president has attempted to stimulate the economy. others, particularly european nations, have stuck firmly to their belief that austerity is the way to go. so they set about cutting services, demolishing government, reducing the safety net. it's this model as practiced by several european nations that republicans, like john boehner, eric khan tor, newt gingrich, and mitt romney want america to follow. >> as president, i will cut spending. >> cut spending. >> they ele

america. he wanted to go to paris or other parts of europe, but he said no, he's going to stay put, partly because of the family reasons. family liking it out there in l.a. who wouldn't, perhaps? but also, the fact that he's done a lot for the profile of soccer in america. attendance alone went up 7% last year across the whole board. >> because of beckham. >> yeah, and his club won the mls cup for the first time since 2005 last season. he scored 11 goals so far in his career. also, galaxy made a wise move saying, if you come back, you can play for great britain at the olympics, we'll let you go for that, and that has to be a big part. >> because he said that six, eight weeks ago, i'd really like to be there. >> especially the chance to play with his teammates. >> mike, many thanks. you may not notice, but scientists regularly make small adjust ams in the way we keep time. they're known as leap seconds. they're added or taken away as many as four times a year to keep our clocks in sync with the rotation of the sun -- pardon me, the earth's rotation around the sun. but some experts are questioning w

very much not only anti-american european relationship as the heart or of the west, but on the shared made most of europe and north america to partake in that enlargement through inclusion co-optation in time, not instantly. of both russia and turkey into the west. and maybe some adjoining countries and between. that is part of the strategic message. and of course the other part of the book is how the united states and the west but particularly the united states should manage its relationship with the other half of the world, which for some time to come is likely to be centered preeminently and the fiery descent to some extent in southwest asia. >> let's talk about that in a moment. i'd like to hone in more on this question of the west and marching with ideas. during the cold war. , the west was more or less a concrete thing. you have nato, formal alliances, defense treaties. do you mean that the west should be enlarged in this sense has some sort of an alliance heckscher or a power block? raises some of the conceptual expansion of value systems which are referring? >> now, it's something else altogether. in a sense, it's

america. if you're in europe, build your products there and ship them around europe or vice versa in other parts of the world. makes a lot more sense. >> we just did another piece a couple weeks ago of a factory that used to produce stuff overseas and now they produce it here. she was saying personally it's a lot easier because she's not traveling back and forth anymore. >> i think there's also an imperative to want to do something to help the local economy as well. i think people's minds are shifting at least to be open to the possibility. but somebody someone said the plural of anecdote is not data and i'm not 100% convinced we're seeing anything more than one or two great stories for this. for them, for the candle company, it's obviously the right thing to do. my concern would be like giving something a name like resourcing that we've got a trend here yet. the jury is still out. >> is this something people need to start thinking about doing now? a lot of small businesses don't have their own factories but at least moving their manufacturing here to the u.s. at another factory help? >> yeah, i

continue on what the president called a fundamental transformation of america, which in my view makes us more and more like europe, or whether we're going to say europe is not working in europe and it's time to restore the principles that made america the economic powerhouse of the world and make america more like america with a merit-based society where individuals through their education and hard work, their risk-taking are able to build a better future for themselves or their families and lift the entire nation. i see this as a very clear choice for the american people. do we continue to move toward europe and transform toward america or do we turn around america? , spent my life in turnarounds' political, volunteer, and business or private sector. i had the chance to run two different businesses, help run the olympics that help guide a state as a governor. that is what america needs at time when we are heading in a very unfortunate direction which is tending to weaken us. the president's direction as slow down the recovery and made a downturn deeper. he has not put forward a plan to reinvigorate our economy. at t

this is a time when we decide whether america will remain the great hope of the 21st century or whether we will be more and more like europeal welfare state. our economy is becoming weaker. the foundation of our future economy is eroded. government is too large. i believe to get america back on track we're going to have to have dramatic, fundamental change in washington to be able to allow our private sector to reemerge, the scale back the size of government and maintain our strength abroad in our military capacities. i believe to change washington in a dramatic way you cannot do it with people who have been there their entire careers. if you elect the people and the chairing change not much will happen. you have to bring someone in who has been on the outside. i have competed with businesses around the world. i know how to win. i know what it takes to keep america strong. i know how to work in government. i had experience four years working as the governor of massachusetts. i will use the experience of my life to get america right. and i will be able to convince the american people that someone with my experience is diffi
