course is the health care situation well that was six months without real any real discussion about up ghana stand in the mainstream press anti-war t.v. that's a wonderful idea i just don't know how you know where it is that people would know how to watch anti-war t.v. one has to be looking for that information actively seeking it out and given that we're in a terrible terrible economic crisis it may not be people's first priority to say gee i wonder what's going on today in yemen it's a very good point that is if i go to you again i was talking about strange bedfellows i mean. when people mention the tea party movement i get a little worried because i hear some really really not the stuff but fiscal conservatism and that's something i'll listen to i'll sit down with any one of them and talk about it ok might not agree with them but why can't the anti-war movement find that group of people or some of them a strange bedfellow i would honestly agree but you know that's one way to get people to wake up to the cost of war it's bank robbery did not bankrupting bankrupted the country is that a str

this week for protesting against the keystone pipeline calling it's game over for the planet if ghana those tar sands are exploited but is there any way to actually stop this deal from going through we're going to speak to jane hamsher and we're going to have all of that for you tonight including a dose of happy hour but first let's take a look at what the mainstream media has decided to miss. all right so hurricane irene is about to unleash on the east coast in a few days and everybody is preparing for the harsh weather there are areas where tourists and residents are being told to evacuate their safety precautions to be taken there are the weather reporters doing live shots in the caribbean right now where the weather is getting pretty gnarly and then there are moments like this. i'm standing right here at water's edge because this water is. more than eighty degrees and this is the fuel for the hurricane so you can see that there's a few people still here at the beach of occasion but it's very different it was yesterday and the coastal cupcakes gave us these today to get us through

now with the pentagon itself saying that it's spending about two billion dollars a week a week in ghana stan obviously the pentagon is saying that we know that the estimates are probably a bit higher that's two billion dollars u.s. tax dollars that could be spent on i don't know education on health care on economic stimulus i mean it seems to me that we haven't made the connection in this country between what we spend on war and how that impacts our lives here in america what's your take on that. i think you're exactly correct we started we think of got us in about two years ago and we did focus on the deaths we focused on the injuries we focused on the long term effects of the people that were sacrificing being there it really wasn't until we started talking about the cost of the war that people started to pay attention and i think now more than ever as we continue to talk about the costs and we've started a new project war class dot com where we specifically go over everything that you've just spoken about the money that could be saved where it could be spent and the fact that defense

but above all ghana develops its new oil wells. for me these are the critical issues around an agenda which can enforce what you found in mckinsey. mckinsey did not say anything that was not said before. that basically from around 2000, africa is getting new momentum which my in my judgment cannot be solved. because it's underlined by the democratic changes, and some of the other things. a young population. it's with the middle class with a large discretion of incomes. now, those are facts on the ground but the risks which i mentioned are real. that's in the political realm managing of natural resources and of infrastructure. but until my friends here things are happening in africa which may be -- for those who don't deal with africa on a day-to-day basis you wouldn't see. but i'm here from the bank and all of them coming, look, we can't define africa's risk. and i'm talking about billions of money every year. and so i'm encouraged and by the way, today if you're looking at a -- at some other european countries on the periphery, af

like most of the ex-pats who run the country really, he has lived -- postbank teaming people of ghanabrought and come back? >> guest: i should say former. the somali community, that runs everything in the country. business, because they're the only ones as you mentioned no local people speak english. >> host: so have foreign languages. they can do somewhat better. and the present is it's been 20 years in australia. >> guest: his son as well. so yeah, and the president spoke 61 which is i think. at the very base level, somalia diaspora mirrors a better will speak english and arabic. they down at the top ranks. they run the entire government. have the best business opportunities. so there were plenty of people. everyone i spoke to in holding position in government spoke english. but for the pirates, yeah, university translated in somali. there's a really strong tension between the two levels. those who have stayed and suffer the brunt of the civil war, and those who have been able to escape and have lives outside. so it's a mission. is a sharp divide. >> host: one of the things you lear

we're very lucky this morning that we do have any audience the president from ghana as well as deputy prime minister from kenya who also i hope will be able to share with us this particular experience in terms of the chinese model of development and how they are working with african government. but let me turn to donald kaberuka. from the perspective, do you really think that there is a competing model of development, particularly in the context of the chinese, the turkish as well as were still is now engagement in africa. as the development, particularly in develop? >> first of all, let me say that there was a time when -- [inaudible] we all know that policies when we see them. as you see happening inflation and countries, if you see growth which is not inclusive, you know these are bad policies. whatever. what i think is important, we don't know -- that is important. we have a range of countries who have come from different paths. [inaudible] there is vietnam, brazil, korea. different models. now, there were mistakes. [inaudible] the answer is here we have the continent of 1 million

in 1981 i went to ghana and found a different experience. the military power and economic -- it began with the economic advance. then the political -- the gdp -- which of course -- one condition. ability to continue to rule in that country and institutions continued to be stable and issues of infrastructure but above all gonna manages its new -- for me these critical issues and agenda -- it is not the same as before. from around 2,000 effort that momentum. and the demographic changes. a young population, rising middle-class with discussion of incomes. those are facts on the ground. in the political arena, and other nations of interest. until my friends were here things were happening in f that those of you who don't deal with it wouldn't see. but from all over the world we don't understand -- i am talking about equivalents of investors. if you were looking at greek bonds or some other european countries you can make a difference. the african risk has been -- we have results including with growth and managing natural resources, ensuring the g

is it, a, australia, b, ghana, c, russia, or, d, the united states? >> richard? >> yeah.ia. >> that is correct. australia tops this list, producing the third largest amount of gold in the world, but south africa leads the list. in fact, half of all gold ever produced has come from south africa. question number two. to meet the good delivery specifications set by the london bouillon market association, what percentage of gold must a gold bar have? is it, a, 99.5%, b, 97.5%, c, 95.5% or, d, 100%? >> a, 99.5, 99.5%, a. >> that is correct. as any good financial expert knows, good delivery bars are notable for both their large size and high purity. we're all tied up. let's go to question number three. in the '80s, a song titled "gold" was a top ten hit in the uk, new zealand and the netherlands as well as a top 30 hit in the u.s. the song contains the longest held note by any male vocalist in any song released in that decade. who charted this single in 1983? was it, a, terrance trent darby, b, aha, c, rick astley or d, spandau ballet? richard? >> spandau ballet, that is correc

we have countries like ghana with the electoral commission is very much -- the electoral commission is very independent. that has not come with a night. we started working with a guy in the electoral commission in 1993, and red in 1998. and that's independence and way that the commission was appoint and the fact that is you cannot fire a commissioner, particularly the chairman until he has to be there until they are retired. these are all -- unless he commits reason. these are all of the things that we need to look at with the electoral commission leading. it should be for us to help the congoese after the scenario to look at what is there and where we can go. >> maybe a couple of additional points. tony, i agree completely in terms of the importance of being able to assess a complete and public list of registered voters and know it has -- it's not available publicly at this point. the figures as of the 27th of july range in terms of the treatment and for the centralization and tabulation of verified voters from the providences range from a low of 78.5% verified to a high of 100% from

it appealed to me any way i thought when he saw here you have an investor, ambassador ghana arrived inmany as a professor of history for his studies he arrives with certain expectations. he's a statesman and yes they do crazy things but in the and the act like states and there's a certain rationality even in the craziest people. he also arrives bearing a certain amount of pleasant baggage. back in the 1890's, i, like many students, he traveled to germany to complete his education, to do the postgraduate education. he went to work on his phd thesis, which don't even want to think of the nightmare here which was about thomas jefferson he has a wonderful time, the germans are marvelous, warm, sweet people and a young woman places on his pillow in his room so he comes bearing this recollection. the war he encounters is like nothing that he expected when he expected a certain amount of rationality. he finds now only pathology. not just pathology that he finds it, and talking about organic pathology. he writes and this time that a leading free in germany and any of our culture would be a pla

have seen that in other parts of africa where the number of refugees that are spilled over to both ghana and liberia. we hope this is not bring to happen in congo. the stability of the country or the region would be destabilizing the country would be very grateful for the region. and losing the democratic momentum would be difficult to accept. therefore, looking at 2006, i think there are some minimum standards that were set in 206 that we have to be sure that those minimum standards are met at this point in time which gives a lot more urgency for all of us who are observing that the elections process in congo. and what are some of those minimum standards that we have? that were observed? the elections are ready to be stable. there was very little violence during the election to a great deal of support from the international community. the results deemed free, the results to have represented the places and the wishes of the voters, and therefore this would be a minimum standard i think also for the 2011 elections. generally widespread participation of the citizens in 2006 we saw over 80
