troops could remain of ghana stand well beyond twenty fourteen. during his election campaign president obama may have sounded very resolute to leave afghanistan in two thousand and fourteen but the white house is now negotiating terms to stay there the president said if u.s. forces stayed their role will be different but critics argue it's an attempt to rebrand a military presence which both the majority of americans and afghans a pope's going to listen to what president obama said about the mission after twenty fourteen i think. you know although obviously we're still. two years away. i can say with assurance that this is a very different mission and a very different task and a very different. for the us if we're able to come to an appropriate agreement now one of the key points of the agreement that the president mentioned there keep point probably is immunity from prosecution for u.s. troops so that the afghans cannot prosecute any american soldier if they commit a crime that's the deal that the white house couldn't get from the iraqi governmen

. >> and argentine navy ship detained in ghana has finally returned home. imran khan at this report. >> she arrived to a full blown celebration, finally, after being detained for two months in ghana. the triumphant return was watched by the argentine president. her ship was detained after a claim was filed by a wealthy investor allegedly -- alleging argentina reneged on a deal involving bonds. the u.n. stepped in and ordered the detention illegal. fernandez welcomed the ship was in no mood to reach a deal with the investment fund which she said took advantage of the argentinian financial crisis. >> these old church funds that tried to -- vulture funds, this is the 28 embargo the tried to carry out. they are the product of this global economic crisis that can be defined as an anarchist capitalism, where there is

in ghana she traveled out into the hills to pay her respects to 83-year-old chief -- [inaudible] whom she had met during a vice presidential visit. he told her that she had forged a friendship between the american and ghanaian people that, quote, not even a lion could break. end quote. before she left ghana, she spoke before the national assembly delivering a rare public political speech. in each of the three countries, pat spoke with the leaders about her husband's upcoming trip to china explaining that he did not intend to normalize relations, but to open a dialogue. she also reiterated america's promise of financial assistance through aid and development and announced the creation of two graduate scholarships for women to travel to the united states to study. not her official pronouncement, however, that earned her the accolades either in the countries she visited or back home. it was her warmth, her enthusiasm, her genuine appreciation of and affection for the people she met. in monrovia, liberia, she gushed to reporters she could not wait to get around and meet some people. she c

washington to sell it to the american people because despite the administration trying to present of ghana's sent as a success story in many ways they see it as a failure and don't understand why their troops should stay any further policymakers in washington can't really come out and say that they don't want to walk away and just just pack up and leave from such an important geopolitical position now that they've spent billions and billions of dollars to have a presence there but such chill political calculations may not sound very appealing to the american people at a time when the country's head over heels in debt despite pledges that u.s. troops in afghanistan will switch to a mainly subordinate role phyllis bennis from washington based institute for policy studies believes it's still a long way off before local forces will take full control. we're talking about an official acknowledgement by the two governments that now the afghan military is in control what that means is anybody's guess but what it does not mean is that the u.s. troops are going to be pulled out early there's a huge oc

gauze ghana just -- because ghana just plays mali. thank you, general. my quick question is mali was part of the counterterrorism program for the past eight years, and as we see, last year just descended, and mali now has such difficult problems. and so my question, if i look at the counterterrorism program which, as you said, is designed to strengthen africa militaries, it doesn't seem to have worked very well in mali. therefore, my question is, in "the washington post" they say this year you're going to expand it to other african cups and train them -- countries and train them to deal with security problems. why give medicine to more people when the one person who took it certainly hasn't recovered and it could be argued that they are doing worse? why not bring africom to the u.s. instead of on the continent? because i'm anxious about it, and i know lots of africans are anxious about it. i mean, the headquarters of africom. >> it's -- the question about mali is a very, very fair question. and the colonel probably has some more insightful view on this.

i said, ghana. so, the first thing i did after i was notified i had the scholarship and could start traveling, i went to ghana, and i was so excited that couldn't sleep. i was just -- the thought of getting to africa, you know, a place where my ancestors came from, i couldn't -- it was just more -- i can't describe what i was feeling, and i just couldn't wait to get there, and to ask them, you know, what do you think of african-americans, and i asked everybody. >> it's interesting because in all the travels, that's what you see, this thread through your book, of trauma and trouble and challenge and discourse, and your choice to find a way of resolution every single time. even in ghana you have the dinner -- african-american-ish and you become the united nations and navigate through. so there's this thread, and you come back and you're working in dealing with the discrimination that black farmers are facing. so you're on the other end of the usda, seeing exactly how the discriminatory policies are on

here in ghana, families are making use of every grade they've got but in many less developed countries, food is wasted because of poor harvesting, transport, and storage facilities. in some countries, a report says 80% of the rice produced is lost each year although the buyers insist progress is being made. >> we do a lot working with farmers in developing countries, both in the production of food -- like use of water -- but also storage when it comes off the field to ensure more of it gets on the shelves and is not wasted. >> but there is also still a problem with both your countries, oil with supermarkets rejecting perfectly edible fruit of vegetables because they are just the wrong size or don't look like a good look right. retailers say they are complying with do you regulations but this is still waste. many consumers buy much more than they can eat. although campaigners say britain is an example of a nation trying to do better. >> the great british public have actually reduced the amount they are throwing away by over a million tons. that is the same as filling wembley stadium to

quite a work in progress that i will sir tell us if you have any may have ghana stand they support the radical islamists to alice the soviet occupiers and then all of a sudden we end up with nine eleven in the terrorist attacks on the u.s.s. cole and the east africa embassy and the whole war on terrorism as a result of that blowback i mean the cia well history of cia and interventions is a disaster ok paul no memory i think that's going to fall in line did not take up doesn't understand all right lawrence go ahead i think what jacob doesn't understand is that if you destroy the cia they will i mean they being the political structure and the political leadership of the united states will in fact recreate it and it doesn't matter if it's got even if it's a libertarian government in some fantastic a way you know we create this because of the nature of the nation state world we live it i mean look what happened you know after if i may and after the russian revolution i mean you had a rather vicious kind of intelligence secret kind of thing going on under this owner called the czech. bolshe

it's in the end everything depends on the athletes and then mooney represents the african nation of ghana the paralympics has come a long way in sport starting with the amputee football at home and now road cycling in london and he probably knows better than anyone that state of the art technology comes a distant second to strength of character. deb has order best technology has been implemented always been modified. and athlete or herself is not able to put force it will. never succeed or be the best athlete so it's all about. determination does it clean integrity initiative. sure she had intelligence given back. and we need oscar pistorius prove to his fellow athletes with disabilities that competing at the able bodied the olympics is not an unachievable dream naturally they cannot do without artificial limbs but one thing's certain paralympians are the driving force behind the advancement of purse products. so what's in store for the future of technology for people with disabilities are we ever going to see a so-called blade runner the one hundred meters faster than the same bolt well

mapped on top of that mali is africa's third largest exporter of gold we can only why south africa and ghana and there are also some five thousand tons of uranium deposits the french have two major mines in the country already and extract extensive amounts from neighboring niger and would not want that jeopardized in any way as they rely almost entirely on uranium for their nuclear energy all this is led some analysts to think that big economic incentives are also fueling the u.s. backed french intervention here's what the author eth william angle had to say the critical strategical goal of u.s. foreign policy so you meet all of us here present is to prevent the core he's expanding your region from russia or china to iran to northern africa and the rest of africa that could leave the united states has been just. so according to him the u.s. is fearful of china's increasing economic presence in africa in the figures seem to back up that argument china has increased its investment in africa exponentially over the last decade and they are catching america up fast despite the u.s. investing over

washington to sell it to the american people because despite the administration trying to present of ghana sent as a success story in many ways they see it as a failure and don't understand why their troops should stay any further policymakers in washington can't really come out and say that they don't want to walk away and just just pack up and leave from such an important geopolitical position now that they've spent billions and billions of dollars to have a presence there but such chill political calculations may not sound very appealing to the american people at a time when the country's head over heels in debt brian becker from the answer anti-war coalition says hamid karzai is seen at home as a symbol of collaboration with the foreign occupation. the american government is sort of caught in a paradox it didn't want to give up afghanistan it wanted to use it as a strategic base but can't win a military victory they have to begin to draw down whether they will leave completely i don't think so so now you have cars i hear in washington meeting with obama he is extremely vulnerable but h

oh another feel good moral boosting son of ghana that is the u.s. president is deliberately rocker's trying to convince the american people that the war was worth it when you're missing a birthday or you're missing a soccer game or or what you're missing give it a verse or those of us back home or able to enjoy it because you will see when soldiers come back home they missed much more than that their own selves once you go into combat you know what you people and what you spent a year and an environment you are not the same. team kenny came back severely wounded from a tour in afghanistan two years ago having spent ten months in combat the vehicle in which he was a gunner was blown up nine times when i got crushed by p.t.s.d. i mean. i was suicidal you know. but i'm married with four kids and i just couldn't find a way to kill myself in some kind i actually did. my family wouldn't have to suffer. he was able to step back from the brink but many of his fellow servicemen were not so fortunate. more american soldiers committed suicide last year than wo

west african nation is the continent's third largest gold producer it trails only south africa and ghana as you can see there are also some forecasts which indicate it could move into first place in terms of those gold exports in the future while energy is another of mali's economic trump cards with its uranium deposits numbering over five thousand tons france of course relies almost entirely on your radium for its nuclear energy and has two major mines in the country well paris could be aiming to diversify after its main source of supply in niger was threatened by major work for strikes there meanwhile author as william and all says that the u.s. is concerned it will be left behind the economic race as other nations seek to expand their presence in the region. critical strategical goal of u.s. foreign policy so you need a horn policy at present is to prevent cold he's expanding your asian lambaste from russia china to iran to northern africa and the rest of africa that could leave the united states has been just simple as that so china has been turning its own sights to the continent by

recent years they're going to be looking into the drone strikes taking place over somalia yemen of ghana stand pakistan and the actions of israel when it comes to the occupied territories the group plans to look into from twenty to thirty specific strikes one of the areas they're going to concentrate on are the so-called double tap strikes where rescuers for example people running to save victims of a drone strike were attacked by a follow up or are people going to funerals this has been something that's been a big concern lately with dozens of people dying in those incidents so this is what they're going to look into this is something that's going to last a while they will look into the numbers of casualties the identities of casualties and really the legal liabilities that might follow and this is something that we're not really expecting any kind of legal serious accusations to come out of but one of the things they're looking into is whether or not work crime is a term that can be used a very strong term so this is something that we're going to have to find out when this report is fi

during the press conference that he will be a retired than that leaves the future of the future of ghana's than as vague as the nature of the relations between the united states and afghanistan in the future so obviously a lot actually came out of this conference today or we give learned a lot and that might be learning that they're still not much that we know at this point or that they have figured out concretely at this point one thing that did come up over and over again was president karzai saying in reiterating the fact that they need afghan sovereignty in the nation and one of the surprising things that actually came out of today. was that they announced that once the cars i returned to the country they will be in charge of the detention facilities and the detainees in afghanistan afghan forces will be talk about the importance of this and why this was a sticking point for president karzai he can go back and tell his people i have accomplished something now we do have control over our own over own prisoners now this is the silver n.t. that i've been talking about this is something th
