>> reporter: that would be permitted under the geneva convention. lott general john campbell says it would not save more lives. >> i don't think arming a medivac bird or taking a cross after a medivac bird will change whether or not we can get in and save our soldiers. >> reporter: machine guns would add weight and reduce the number of patients a medivac could carry, and would not bring nearly as much fire power as an apache escort. today in afghanistan, a wounded soldier stand a 92% chance of surviving. the highest rate of any war. campbell, a former commander in afghanistan and now chief of army operations, says that is the best argument for unarmed medivacs. >> i lost 235 soldiers in the year that i was there. you don't think i would do everything i could to make sure that that didn't happen? if i thought arming a medivac bird or taking a cross off would save additional soldier, i'd do it in a heart beat. >> reporter: the odds started out in clark's favor. but by the time that medivac with its red cross found an armed escort and picked him up, he

under the geneva convention, medevacs marked with red crosses cannot carry weapons.ed cross is supposed to make them off limits to enemy fire, but doesn't. report here's a medevac under fire in a previous battle. in a six-month period last year medevacs came under fire 57 times. on this night, the wait for an armed escort meant the medevac did not get to the landing zone where clark was fighting for his life until 47 minutes after the call for help went out. it took another 12 minutes to load him aboard and fly to the nearest hospital. it was the last hour of chazray clark's life. >> my husband laid there, wondering why nobody is coming to get him, for how long? like 40 minutes, an hour? >> reporter: it was 59 minutes, according to the logs. >> 59 minutes? why did it take them that long? there's no excuse. >> reporter: clark's wife, christina, did not object to our showing her husband' dying moments, because she wants an answer. >> i just don't understand why they had like, can't they take the red crosses off and put machine guns on them? like, why do they have to wa

i was attending the conference in geneva that the federal communications has a. the 193 countries had a lifeline link-up. we are in what we call -- the name is reversed. it really is a black-out period where we are not supposed to be talking about the details of it with folks on the outside. so usually a week before every monthly meeting at the f.c.c. a curtain comes down where we are not supposed to have outside contact with whatever is on the meeting agenda for that upcoming meeting a week later. but i am happy to talk in principle. congress codified the 1996 telecommunications act. it dated back to the 1980's through the f f.c. c. keep in mind, the 1996 telecommunications act passed overwhelmingly in a bipartisan basis. very few members of congress voted against it. it was so long ago i forgot the vote count. i'm so old that i forget those things. so it is essential for basic people to have access to lifeline communication services. and the bill before us does seem to weed out waste fraud and abuse, and make the program more efficient. it is still a fluid situ

medicines are based in geneva.so learned quite a bit about what format is willing to do, and i have seen him do nothing but cooperative. in fact, leading an effort now to take 25 percent of all of the profits in the developing world and put it to help workers. great cooperation from parma. recently merck committed $100 million to help the campaign. the star wars technology. the week after next. the gates malaria film. funded a man by the name of nathan mere gold. used to be the technology officer at microsoft. a renaissance man who is an inventor. focusing on malaria. is going to show me next monday, she says diaz. and looking forward. did you want to add anything? >> you're right. i think that actually is weighted so suited to business. this is a logistics problem. who you want to do that? is -- this is a business problem . the logistics'. it is more practical. >> on the question about sewage and getting government to pay attention to that, the whole in d.c. area, the principal and just. he cannot understand why w

. >> but there are also those looking into whether their actions violate the geneva declaration that is against desecrating the bodies of the dead. >> it's looking a lot like winter in the midwest. >> doug has a look at the weekend forecast after the break. >> the ravens are getting ready to fly on sunday. the latest on their preparations against the texans. caps play tonight. >> things got ugly outside and apple store outside beijing today. customers became unruly after they refused to open the store. thousands have raided on light in the cold to buy the new iphone 4s. summit scuffled with police, others pelted the store with eggs. the customer service problems with the best buy over the holidays are still causing problems. >> they say they failed to comply with online orders. they would order on line only to be told that the items were not available. the problem still has not been corrected. one retail analyst says it is the only retailer that has problems of this kind routinely. >> the work flight delays and cancellations from november. only two planes sat on the tarmac longer tha

but that is why there are geneva convention in place to protect us and our combatants from this kind of behavior. the geneva convention is clear we are to inter dead combatants when we ka can in an honorable and respectful way. this is as far from that as we can get. i don't blame the marine corps or their command ablame the marines who did it. >> what will happen to them? >> they should be court-martialed and lose all benefits. >> i have heard and read in the some many places from on television, read in the newspapers and seen it in blogs and heard people say how can you judge them because you're not over there in war. you don't know what those people are going through. you are in your air-conditioned home and studio and passing judgment and some people say, hey, look, basically saying they condone it. >> those the same people who have not served themselves. i question whether they have been on the front line. when we are fighting for the security of this country there are protocols by which we do that. they are there for a reason. they keep us safe. this is not a dumb prank. this i

[tone] >> my name is geneva. i have been homeless for two years.ave been on the waiting list for that long. my number was high. are around the 3000, 4000, i got there at 302. i have not had a letter or anything. and i have been at the shelters for almost three months. since i have been in the shelters, my kids have been sick. back and forth to the hospitals and doctors' appointments, i cannot do much to get a job while in this process. having more units available then you are supposed to, i give out more than are needed now -- the winter, when it is cold. it makes sense. i feel like if more people knew about the situation, and more people had turned care about the homeless, anyone could be in this situation. you ain't got to be low income or a pedestrian to make you homeless. any situation could make you that way. you could come from the richpoor being rich to poor in a minute. it could happen to anyone. you do not have to have a specific reason to be on the streets. it do not take much to end up in my position. people laugh at the homeless and it

we meet in geneva and we draft rules of international law and conventions for the united nations for all the issues, like covering the status of foreigners, the question of disaster, the question of the treaties, immunity for city officials. really some contemporary and important issues. but the most important thing i want to do is to continue to be a bridge between the united states and the arab world and to promote friendship and cooperation between the two sides. >> just between the two of us, if former secretary general musa is elected president, might you have a spot in the government? >> this is too soon to tell. it depends of course on him. but it also depends on me. i am not sure that i want to be a bureaucrat again. but we will see. i will enjoy my freedom and to do all of the things i have been wishing to do. if you ask me about how i see things in eject, up until now, -- by the way, we just celebrated the anniversary of the revolution. throughout 2011, there was no clear vision for where we were going. now we have a clear mission. we have the elections. we have a new parli

i'm following this and seeing whether it fits in the geneva convention. it doesn't.so what happens is that, you know, people are held that for at least a year on average before they give the review process which is brought to bagram the d'aspin court found inadequate, and on that basis it seems to be held or they are released or transferred to afghan custody. it is a mess and i don't think that people cared enough in the geneva conventions have they not been reinstated properly that the bush administration did has not been properly investigated and i acknowledge so i think they are very connected. but i think is very troubling. and the way to see that again, i like to make analogies where people can understand it is in the american context what would happen if american citizens were captured by some other country and were held in the wartime on the same process would be helpful for 14 months and get some kind of a review process that we invented how would that play in the united states? we all know. >> any final thoughts? >> i agree. for better or worse guantanamo is

both men think it will take years for things to improve in geneva, so he believes he was right to leave. >> he took part in the demonstrations and the revolution. if he had stayed in tunisia, finding a job would have been hard. for him, leaving was a way of getting ahead, a way of demonstrating his discontent with the past and present situations. >> still, he is thinking about returning. his entrepreneurial skills could help to build a new tunisia. sala has found work in a restaurant kitchen. he is concentrating on a burning and saving money. he lives in constant fear of being discovered, but finally agrees to accompany us. here, he looks over the city he has long dreamed about. >> the exhaustion and adversity of the crossing are forgotten. i'm fine now. if it is allah's will, i will return home soon. i say to my mother and father, "see you soon." but i am fine. i am making my way here, thanks to god and my family. >> how long will he say? his emotions are mixed. he needs to be here to earn money, but he knows he is needed back home. >> we have heard that he is still living in paris and

geneva, it appeared, for enrichment of uranium for the tehran research reactor. and then the supreme leader, ayatollah khamenei and his supporters began trashing that deal, the deal that the iranians had signaled they were willing to do. and that's one reason that the u.s. was so wary last year of getting back into the same situation. so i think one question, i talks are going to goorward, the u.s. has to have some confidence that it's talking to somedy who's actually prepared to make a deal if you could get to that point. >> rose: so if you're talking to ahmadinejad, he may not have the power to do the deal? >> precisely. ahmadinejad, it's clear, cannot speak for the supreme leader. there has to be some other address or joint address for anybody-- the u.s., israel, anybody-- to be confident this is a real negotiating process. >> rose: david, i know you have to go, thank you for joinings. >> thank you, charlie. >> rose: turning back to gary. tell me what you think is the power of regime change on the opportunity for regime change in iran? >> well, actually, david

one year after a popular uprising brought down the government in geneva, the country's economy is slowly recovering from the effects of the revolution, but the new democratically elected government plans to take measures this year to try to get tunisia's economy back on track. then the official unemployment rate is about 19%. many people who had been employed in the tourist industry have now lost their jobs. because the number of foreign minister -- foreign visitors fell off sharply during and after the revolution. the government is trying to boost economic growth and create jobs by attracting new investment, particularly from neighboring libya and from turkey. the government has set its sights high. >> in 2012, we will try to achieve the growth rate of about 4%. that would be an important achievement, especially since the european economy is slowing down. and a tenacious high unemployment rate contributed to the anger many people felt in the run-up to last year's election -- >> tunisia's high unemployment rate. the government realize that he had to make employment a high priority. >> fr

it's skin with the geneva conventions and after a period that will sink in. let there be no doubt. >> reporter: president obama ordered the facility closed in january 2009. >> guantanamo will be closed no later than one year from now. >> reporter: but congressional road blocks slowed the closing and debate continues over the existence of the prison and its policies. some analysts predict the facility may stay in business for a while. lawmakers cut off funding that would have brought prisoners to the united states for trial. and downed a plan to how's them at a prison in illinois. since the beginning, 779 prisoners have passed through guantana guantanamo, according to the defense department. there are currently 171 detainees being held there. only seven are scheduled for trial and 89 are eligible for release. some former inmates say their time at guantanamo is a dark memory. >> this is an anniversary of tragedy, of pain, of torment, of families being ripped apart. of a dark page in the modern history of humanity. >> reporter: he spent two years at guantanamo b
