and gordon chang, an author and columnist for forbes.com.ved in china and hong kong for 20 years, and worked as a lawyer for american and international firms. thanks to you both for being with us. susan shirk, to you first, what sort of thinking do you understand there to be inside the chinese government that would lead to this sort of harsh reaction they've had to the liu xiaobo nobel prize award? >> it's all about domestic politics in china. specifically about politics at the very top reaches of power of the chinese communist party. in recent years the internal security police and the propaganda department and the military have become very powerful interests within with the chinese communist party. the security police and the propaganda department lead this charge, this campaign against liu xiaobo-- zibo. the second factor is that the campaign for power has become in china. in 2 years there will be the 18th party congress. there will be a major leadership transition. and the campaign has already begun two years before the actual turnover o

. >> bruce: the tuff darts was robert gordon. if i'm correct, robert gordon -- first band.e did a cover of at one time. >> jimmy: it is all phenomenal stuff. but you show all the records. i mean, you've got "the promise" here, which is out, because this is two extra cds of music that you didn't put on "darkness." >> bruce: right, yeah. >> jimmy: so you wrote 70 songs. [ laughing ] that's, like, an insane person does that. [ laughter ] that's like -- that's seven albums! i mean, that's crazy, right? >> bruce: yeah, it was. it was. [ laughter ] we didn't really know -- we really didn't know how to do what we were doing, you know? it'd be like if you had to tell ten jokes to find one funny one. >> jimmy: i did that tonight. [ laughter ] i do it every night! it's pretty insane. yeah! [ cheers and applause ] but, i mean -- >> bruce: that's exactly what's going on there. >> jimmy: what happened? i mean, but now you listen to them and you go, "god, they're all funny. they're all good jokes. they're all good songs." >> bruce: they're good, but i think at the time, they were -- the

behind. >> we know gordon's body was cremated. then the fire boats washed his ashes out to sea. i admit having nothing to say good-bye to is much, much harder than i thought it would be. call it closure or whatever, something is missing for us. if you want these companies, one of which is headquartered in great britain and another in switzerland, to make every effort to make sure their employees don't act as these did, putting american lives at risk, you must make certain they're exposed to pain and the only place they can feel it, their bank accounts. as a friend recently said, make them hurt where their heart would be if they had a heart. >> as we mentioned, this obscure law called the death on the high seas act, passed in 1920, it limits what gordon's family and others can collect, lost wages and income, not for example the pain of growing up without a father or spouse's loss of companionship and care. changing the law, it's got a lot of bipartisan support. a measure passed the house back in july, but similar legislation has no

three leaders have promised us that it was a labor party manifesto commitment by tony blair that gordon brown of course and then david cameron famously in oppositions gave a cast on guarantee that he would have a referendum on the subject so once i realized it was vance i thought yeah hold on this is wrong and i do believe we've been denied our democratic right it would be costly to implement a referendum on being in the i mean the u.k. is already a member of the european union it's better just to let sleeping dogs lie yes he would be costly but it's costly to be in it it's costing the british taxpayer forty . eight million pound a day to be in the we've just given on the island another seven billion pounds of our money saw another four hundred fifty million pounds in the budget increase it's going to be even more than that so it's costly already and anyway i'm not saying to get out what i'm saying is let's have the discussion you know on the b.b.c. and on programs like this you know the pros and cons of europe so that the british public can decide whether they want to be in the you sai

people should be allowed to vote on whether they want to remain members of the european union john gordon thanks very much for talking to r.t. now first of all tell me a bit about the e.u. referendum campaign is this is purely about getting our democratic right to have a vote because three leaders of promises that it was a labor party manifesto commitment by tony blair then gordon brown of course and then david cameron famously in oppositions gave a cast iron guarantee that he would have a referendum on the subject so once i realized it was vance i thought yeah hold on this is wrong and i do believe we've been denied our democratic right so that's why i'm involved in the you referendum campaign it would be costly to implement a referendum on being in e.u. i mean the u.k. is already a member of the european union isn't it better just to let sleeping dogs lie yes you would be costly to leave but it's costly to be in it it's costing the british taxpayer forty eight million pound a day to be in the e.u. we've just given the island another seven billion pounds of our money saw another four hun

rather a moot point hasn't it do you think we've missed the boat on a referendum no i don't think gordon brown had absolutely no right to sign the lisbon treaty stroke constitution it was the same thing at the manifesto commitment by labels to have a referendum on that they played with words david cameron played with words you know with the if you are crashing and burning at the moment there's never been a chime postman's first to have the discussion arlen's in and out of trouble at the moment in the e.u. in the i.m.f. of step ten to bail them out so early on and would be in a lot more trouble if they didn't have that kind of backup so isn't the e.u. a force for good and i think we should be bailing out ireland i mean that's my own personal view i thought it is ironic i was watching the budget this week in ireland their stand up to a million euros in the one percent losses at four percent to seven hundred fifty thousand by their child benefit is crazy the amount they passed in child benefit their corporation tax they keep it at twelve and a half percent no wonder countries are companies

parra and sergeant gordon maintained control of the scene. they directed the subjects -- suspect to the ground and directed him away from the gun, handcuffing him. they also rendered aid to the victim in an attempt to save his life. they turned their attention to isolating other potential suspects. they directed the arriving units to secure the suspect, perimeter, murder weapon, to locate witnesses, they ran a textbook investigation and follow-up. we are tremendously fortunate that these two officers were on that street that night. their outstanding bravery and ability to respond without hesitation, there's protection decision making to assess, tactically respond to, and control the immediate deadly threat, their willingness to put their lives at risk, knowing it was necessary to save the lives of others, their control and disciplined response initially and managing the resulting homicide scene, for these actions, the arabs each being awarded the gold medal of valor.
