and i think the iranian green movement has been a source of influencfor other democratic movements in arab countries. but afterwards the arab movement has had some influence onthe iranian moveme, as has given us a new impulse and it has shown us that there's a possibility to succeed. >>ose: but do you have the same courage and will that you expressed at the time of the elecon controversy and we see everyday inyria and in libya to go to the streets and try to have the same kind ofmpact they've had in the streets in tunisia, in egypt, in syria, in libya? >> ( translated ): well, the demonstrations are one tactic but not the only one. we have had some demonstrations but the situation in iran is different from the situation in other countries. we need to use other methods. for example, i think that the situation in iran and egypt is different and i think that the united states had a strong influence on the egyptian army and the iranian military is very independent and there won't be a possibility to exert any influence on that army and i think that the... therefore that the situation is v

and if the green movement doesn't have any opportunity to have big demonstrations liked the a few ars ago, it's actual a deeper movement now and and the sentiments have been expanded and the government knows very well right now that it cannot go on and continue in the same way. the green movement is not superficial. it's not something that comes and goes, that disappears after being put under pressure. no, we are in a resistance phase and the government's trying to scare us. >> rose:o are they successful so far in terms of preveing mr. mousavi from being the leader of the green movement by house arrest, by surveillance? >> ( tralated ): i don't think so. they jailed mr. mousavi and mr. karoubi but mr. karoubi and mr. mousavi have maintained their positions and they've said that they didn't change their opinion, they've resisted and they cling to their facts. that is what scares the government. >> rose: what can you see happening between now and the next election? >> ( translated ): well, it's not reall possib to guess everything, but what i can tell you is that right now there were a

during the uprising, known as the "green movement," i witnessed horrific acts of suffering, including the death of neda aghasultan. it was captured on video and posted on the internet for the world to see. but i felt compelled to share some of the untold stories from that chaotic time. >> ( translated ): when neda died, all of iran and the rest of the world knew. but when they were raping and torturing me, and putting out cigarettes on my body, nobody knew. >> reporter: on a cold day this past winter, i met a 22-year-old woman i call "layla" in a cafe. she was like any other vibrant, talkative girl, but i could see a deep sadness in her eyes. a month after the disputed election, layla and several other women were randomly rounded up in the street by police who accused them of being part of the green movement. >> ( translated ): when they arrested us and threw us in a van and beat us with clubs, they kept hitting us and they verbally abused us. they took us somewhere; i didn't know where it was. the windows of the van were tinted. >> reporter: she said she was taken to a secret prison.

[speaking in native tongue] >> translator: the green movement is in democratic movement, not an ideological one. [speaking in native tongue] >> translator: the green movement does not have the construct of a political party, meaning that a few people at the top and not make orders and the rest implement. the expansion is horizontal, and it works on a network basis. [speaking in native tongue] >> translator: not leaders of this movement, but they walked along with the movement. the presence has strengthened the movement. [speaking in native tongue] >> translator: within this movement people with different ideologies exist, different groups, some of them believe that we have to throw the constitution out. [speaking in native tongue] >> translator: something that this will not be possible without bloodshed in. the best thing to do is to use the present constitution. there are articles in the constitution that guarantee people's rights but have never been implemented. [speaking in native tongue] >> translator: for example the rights of associations, political parties, and the group's teaching b

years since the contested elections in iran that kept mahmoud am did jan in power and led to the green movement in iran to cover the elections for "newsweek" until the revolutionary guard came knocking at his door one day. maziar bahari spent the next 118 days in prison, much in solitary confinement. he's written a new book about iran and his experiences there "then they came for me." he joined me to talk about iran two years later. >> welcome back, maziar. >> nice to be here. >> we've all been watching this arab spring. it's not happening in iran. is that because the regime is different or they are just able to completely brutally repress it? >> i think there are two main differences between the situation in iran and the rest of the middle east. one is that iranians experience the sudden change of revolution 32 years ago. so they approach any sudden change with caution. they do not want another revolution. and what happened in 2009 after the election was not a revolution either. it was a movement for change, for reform. the other difference between iran and arab countries is that eye toll la k

. >>> then in iran, it's been two years since the elections that sparked the green movement. there's something very strange going on in that country. we'll talk to iranian journalist maziar bahari. >>> here is my take. i've been watching the republicans on the campaign trail. what strikes me so far is that conservatives in america have gone through a strange transformation. it used to be that conservatism was a hard-headed set of ideas rooted in reality. unlike the abstract theories of marxism and socialism, it started not from an imagined society but from the world as it actually exists. this is the way things work, conservatives would patiently explain to woolly-headed liberal professors. whatever you want it to look like, this is what it really looks like. but consider the debates over the economy these days. the republican prescription is cut taxes, slash government spending, and things will always bounce back. i would like to see lower tax rates in the context of simpl y simplification and reform. but what is the actual evidence that massive tax cut are the single best p

but i think the green movement has a future. and it is an indigenous movement; it's not run by people abroad. and it's not even influenced by them. so... and i don't think that the government will succeed in killing the movement completely. i think there is an urge among the almost 70 percent who are under the age of 30. you cannot restrain them; you cannot restrict their movement. they have demands and they will come out to get them. >> hinojosa: and we are so thankful that you came out alive from this experience. it's just been an honor. >> thank you. >> hinojosa: thank you, dr. haleh esfandiari, thank you so much. >> thank you very much. >> hinojosa: continue the conversation at wgbh.org/oneonone. captioned by media access group at wgbh access.wgbh.org

and also what it could do for the city as far as housing and energy efficiency and the whole green movement. it would be a wonderful opportunity for other communities and cities to look at us as an example. look, they were not doing so good in the beginning, but they kept with it and did a phenomenal job. i just want to say please keep in mind that it is a successful program. just because it is not as successful as you would like it to be is not any reason to reduce funds. i appreciate that. supervisor chu: thank you. we do have a question. supervisor kim? supervisor kim: this is a question for anyone in the program. if you can state who you are employed by and if it is full- time or part-time, and if you are a resident of san francisco. >> i live in sunnyvale, the bayview district. i'm a pre-apprenticeship program, so a lot of different organizations. a higher students such as myself to work with them. mostly those companies would like to hire students such as myself. it is full time work generally. it is sustainable work. its a good career move meant. supervisor kim: who is your pre-appre

i think it is absolutely -- what will happen with the current green movement in building, is that it will become standard. it is becoming the standard. ultimately, it will be frowned upon when a house does not have these features, i think. i think that is how it will migrate into society, in that way. it is a good thing. it is becoming an awareness of all of these things, your appliances, your window rating, things like that. it is something that happens over time. people like to talk about it. i have sold properties where they are solar-ready, which means they have all of the equipment installed to bring the solar down, the solar energy from the roof, down into the sub-area, to then transmitted to the electrical outlets and things, but the panel did not get installed yet because maybe the person did not want to spend the extra $20,000 or $30,000. it is a promise it is coming. you cannot ignore it. it is important to it least considerate. maybe someone is not going to spend $10,000 on green things or $20,000 on some sort of solar system with rebates. will you get that back? quite hon

channel co-founded by former vice president and the face of america's green movement establishment our war the whole idea of having a broadcast network is they have viewers it's all about having viewers and nobody watches current right now nobody watches it. i could yell out my window and more people would hear me probably and if i was the. channel hopes that will change with a liberal pundit hopping on board for a reported i popping ten million dollars a year a satisfying three million dollar raise from older means emmis n.b.c. days a much bigger corporate own network that may be the sort of thing where the first night the first week while he's got three million people watching him in week three does it go down to twenty three thousand at that point i think people are currently start sharing their fingers down to their knuckles and thinking what have we done while it'll take time to show which gambles pay off and which are all messages are likely to stick even on new platforms oligarch. the one that's missing is why. i don't know for turning into an oligarch hear what we're turning in

day so there is a youth movement this has been compared many times to the to the percent of the green movement when the green parties are are world wide on us in many many parallels right there is a parallel certainly in terms of the environment if you will of intellectual property and it took a step back and to put this in context on a broader perspective the idea of the manifesto behind the pirate party is that all intellectual property originates from something called the public domain all ideas all reconfiguring of ideas all works of creation whether it's books movies television arctic cetera they all originate in some way from the commonly own public domain they then have a very limited period of monopoly value protected under copyright law afterwards time all of these works of art and creativity should return to the public domain so the question is do you agree with that characterization number one in number two is there any period of time that the pirate party would support that would be that period a limited monopoly value for intellectual property or is that completely out of the out

she and the president waited long enough to see the green revolution, the green movement crushed.nt in his first year in office president -- >> again. we've been listening for just a few moments. this is republican presidential candidate tim pawlenty in new york city speaking before the council on foreign relations. we wanted to let you hear just a little of what he was saying. we'll keep tabs on his speech and get more details later on. >>> time now 636:67:89 five months now have passed since the january tucson shooting rampage where six people were shot dead, 13 were wounded including congresswoman gabrielle giffords. now congresswoman giffords is making a big step in her recovery. coming up at 6:45 we'll show you the public event where the congresswoman decided to step out in public. >>> today state lawmakers in sacramento will vote on the latest budget plan negotiated by democrats and the governor. the governor gave up the hope of striking a deal with republicans to get their support for extending taxes. instead the new budget relies on deep cuts. especially to the state's pub

environmental crisis and denial that this country was going through and in seeing the inspirational movement of the green party's blossoming in europe, especially germany, i went to germany in the late 1980's. i spent time with the green party of germany in the parliament over there, learned everything i possibly could. came back to california. i was 1 of 20 people who co-founded the green party here in california. i have been a member of the green party, co-founder, for about 20 years and then less than two years ago i decided it was time for me to shift directions and i became a democrat. >> looking back a few years to your campaign for supervisor, what lessons did you learn from that experience? was there anything that surprised you? >> a lot of things surprised me but it was an extremely rewarding experience and not for the self-evident reason of just winning a campaign. i was faced with a great amount of talent. people in my district. there was about two dozen of us who ran for district supervisor in 2004. but for me, it was my understanding that i loved to campaign, i knew that in advance. how i li

movements. >> i guess it's a relief just to see green arrows upcoming. the signs had been rather bright for the u.s. employment picture, which was due out on friday. economists were expecting at least 170,000 new private sector jobs to have been created in the past month. on wednesday, some of that optimism was extinguished by the payroll firm adp. its report suggested a total boost of 38,000 in private sector, less than a quarter of the predicted figure. fears of a slowdown in the u.s. recovery focusing on the end of q qe2, the bond bonanza. that was due to finish at the end of this month, but the slump may have arriveded earlier than expected. andrew sullivan has more on this. is it a case that we have been talking about a slowdown in the u.s.? has it or does it now look like it's much more severe than we thought? >> i think the worry with this jobs number is if they are not creating jobs, then, yes, the slowdown is not only more severe than we thought there will be more of it to come. the key thing here is that the u.s. investor drives the u.s. econom

it is so important now more than ever, we reach these periods, the green party, the bubble grow party, and now the tea party movementall of them right or left attempt to say okay guys, we do care. we will thought and that upsets people too because they are very impassioned and they care deeply and they vote. nor norm wants a group of people who are sort of boring and spend all their time passionately voting. i don't think that is a very good mix of. >> norm, fred said it doesn't matter much if your name is mikulski or murkowski. did it matter much if your name was obama or bush? in other words, he is taking -- i have been accused of this. an example in universalizing it to up imply that elections have no consequences and are not important to people because they have private interest. of course they also care about what they pay in taxes, whether their child will be well-educated and what they're breathing into their bodies. >> i disagree with that and of course if her name is murkowski, lisa murkowski was bumped off the ballot from running as a republican despite her enormous popularity in the state because a small
