overall, we saw an increase capability to deliver security to ghana city.f you bring the afghans to a point where they can take the lead in security, my experience is that they will not let you down. i think it is a key issue to have a bottom-up approach regarding governments and r &d. >> how long do think it will take to degrade the taliban to a point where they are no longer influential? >> that is a great question. i could talk for hours about that. the first question is, who is the television? Ñi-- who is the taliban? they will always have an influence. they were never reconcile or read the great. on the other side of the spectrum, you have the $10 per day taliban who are paid to work for the insurgents. it is easy to reconcile them. they protect the narco trade. the key in the counter insurgency is that to deny the support for the insurgents by the locals. iqet think we're moving toward a position in which that is more and more the case in afghanistan. there is increased pressure on the leadership of the insurgency. we saw more and more signs of in-fig

he bought the ticket in ghana, then crossed back into nigeria to board the flight.that would be suspicious. along with no check-in luggage. so you know, that point is true about those flags being added to the mix. >> larry: would i be questioned if i went to an airport right now tonight no luggage, cash, i'm going on a one-way ticket, i'm going to sioux city? >> the only way you'd be questioned is if you weren't wearing suspenders. >> larry: that's a compliment of sorts, i gather. thank you all very much for outstanding work. tom fuentes, harry humphries, rv

from what the authorities are saying, he bought the -- somebody bought the fikt in ghana, and then he boarded the plane on the 24th to go on a flight via amsterdam to detroit. he sneaked back in is the words of the information minister on the 24th to take that flight. so we don't know if he met anyone while here, but he certainly didn't want to get caught by authorities or getting contact with his family, which shows the rift. even though his father by all accounts is a very, very religious man, and as kimmy was saying, the real disparity -- the thing about this is nigeria is a country with 70% of people living under $1 a day, and yet this guy had everything. his father is a very wealthy man. so what is the motive behind this? it's not poverty, larry. >> larry: is the family or the father saying anything now? >> reporter: the first thing i spoke to on a condition of am knit at the and the person is very very close to the family. they told me that they're really concerned about his welfare and concerned about all the charges that might be coming because there is a charge of trying to b

thought this was a misconception for us to live up to but when i heard president obama's speech in ghana, i thought a little differently. if you recall he imagined a new partnership between the united states in africa, one that would be grounded in mutual responsibility. village health works seems to me one small example, a model of african and american cooperation , obama's lofty vision embodied in an instrument of peace. burundi is a country that was torn apart by large geographical differences between two groups of people come the differences that were exaggerated for the advantage of the few. deo has inspired the antidote or the beginning of a potential antidote which focuses on something that unites all of us which is our common vulnerability two gillison injury and are common hope for life. personally, i find this enterprise of his very moving in part because it enjoys tremendous support from its local community, especially from the women of the village to have a large say in its operations and i will finish by reading you a short passage from there the end of my book. this is most

then, on december 16, a round trip ticket from lagos, nigeria to detroit is purchased in ghana, for $2,800 in cash. nigerian officials say abdulmutallab returns to lagos for one day, on christmas eve, to board the flight. he checks no bags, and passes through security. he arrives in amsterdam on christmas day. the dutch interior minister says nothing seems amiss before he boards northwest flight 253 for detroit. >> ( translated ): the suspect did not leave the customs area at schiphol during his transfer. he spent the usual transfer time, a couple of hours as per the norm, in the airport's international lounge. as per protocol, he had to pass a security gate within the customs area at schiphol, a metal detector, and this presented no irregularities. >> reporter: hours later, abdulmutallab's flight was on final approach to detroit, when he allegedly tried to set off the bomb and was overpowered. now, as he sits in a federal prison in michigan, his ties to yemen and its growing al-qaeda presence have come under intense new scrutiny. today, security forces stormed an al-qaida hide-out along y

in 2006 a man from ghana died in custody from a heart attack after guards waited 40 minutes to provide him medical attention, let alone open his cell. they wouldn't open his cell for 40 minutes. last year another detainee died after falling and fracturing his skull and after newspaper accounts being shackled and being pinned to the medical floor after he moan and vomited after being left in a disciplinary cell for more than 13 hours. an ecuadorian woman died in a minnesota facility three years ago. ice found that her death was inevitable. but also found that she had not undergone her mandatory medical intake exam despite being detained for two months. you inherited this problem. i know that. and i know that you're trying to fix it. but the first step in improving conditions is identifying the problem. so my question to you is, what went wrong here? >> well, we did an extensive review of the detention situation at ice, senator. and i think -- and several things which we have moved to correct. one is we decentralized it too much. we didn't have ice personnel onsite. we didn't have clear

administration, president obama went to guyana and he made statements about the importance of africa -- went to ghana and made statements about the importance of africa to this administration. secretary clinton spent 11 days in africa covering six countries. probably more than the previous administration had spent in the duration. and she went to talk to the women in the refugee camps, and she met with different groups, and and she addressed some of the relief intractable problems that africa faces, most of which are mired in poverty. and from that perspective, if we look it two initiatives that this administration is putting ford -- they are very much linked with trying to address issues globally, but primarily in africa. the first is a food security. this is one of the biggest problems that you see occurring in africa. just enabling people to have access to food, to be able to grow their food. this initiative, a very expensive one, one that has some considerable resources behind it, is one way of making sure that we are addressing some of the problems that africans are facing. the second one is the

is the white house trying to push more of a guerini connie -- ghana caulking for cash and things of that nature, blacks and browns are not pushing for the screen jobs, they are not rushing to get training for this. how is the administration going to afford that as they are trying to balance out on employment rates in those communities and push this project? >> while i will tell you what he has told people that have asked him this specifically in regards to the african-american on employment rate is what i said earlier. somebody is going to build these wind turbines. somebody is going to build these solar panels. somebody is going to be involved in the skills necessary to retrofit individual houses, apartment buildings, businesses, and what have you, in order to make them more efficient. we have to decide as a country that we are going to do that. not in port wind turbines, not in port solar panels, and not seek somebody else to do the type of skilled retrofitting that's necessary to meet our clean energy g g g g glsoney on their heating and cooling bills, as well as creating jobs. i thin

it is not very often that leaders from countries as diverse as cuba in the pacific, ghana and africa, brazil, and the united states of america come together to fight and succeeded a common cause. it is not often that they come to a table to speak with you to seek a collective solution to a common challenge. today, ladies and gentleman, represents one of these unique occurrences. the entire world, including my own tiny island, grenada, and the rest of the nation's come together to find solutions to a common climate problem. we must do so in a cooperative and it is of the tory manner, chipping away toward a solution that we need -- and up anticipatory -- participatory manner, chipping away toward a solution that we on it. we must act because there are millions of people depending on us to provide them with the assurances that their homes, their livelihoods, their communities, and their countries will not be swept away in the coming wave -- the coming wave of climate change. they are providing -- they are depending on us to provide that the at the systems are preserved for this and futur

about $50 for you in the versus somebody in bangladesh -- you and me versus somebody in bangladesh or ghana it is amazing to think that the money we might spend going out to dinner might put some on a new life course. it only costs about $50 to capitalize the business in one of these countries. this is why i tried to write the story in my book, to make that real for people, what it looks like to start a business for $50. in the united states, i was surprised about what you could do with $1,000 or $1,500. one of the people i met when i moved back from bangladesh was the founder of subway restaurants, the ubiquitous sandwich chain, started with a $1,000 loan from a relative. we have a history of businesses in this country starting with a very small amount of capital compared to what many people aren't. and yet, that is often what is needed. host: what is the grameen bank? guest: it is the original prototype for microfinance in bangladesh and around the world. it started in 1976, and it has spread nationwide. we have tried to take the breakthroughs there with the grameen bank, which only exist
