the barrier in israel has worked. the barriers on our southern border has worked. we have fencing down there in arizona that as near as i can determine, that section of fence, however short it is, it's three layers of fencing and has not been defeated by anyone. easier to go around the end than to go over and under. i don't suggest we build 2,000 miles of wall with sensors, monitoring and patroling. i suggest that we simply build a fence and build a wall until they quick going around the end. it may take 2,000 miles, may not. we build the 784 miles that was required by the secure fence act and need to have a smart immigration policy. here we are down into the downward spiral of our economy, this economy that has been referred to as the great recession and we are talking about granting amnesty to people, moving pieces of legislation that would legalize 12 million to 20 million people in an economic environment where we have 15.4 million unemployed americans that fit the definition. another five million to six million americans that no longer fit the definition of un

and while iran's unwillingness to negotiate in good faith has been exposed to the world, it has grown even closer to its goal. today the international atomic energy agency feels that iran has enough low enriched uranium for two nuclear bombs. so time is of the essence. by proceeding with this motion, congress moves closer to the imposition of sanctions that will hit the iranian economy at its weakest point. its banking system, the revolution card -- guard corps, and the refined petroleum that iran defends upon. i support strongly this motion knowing full well that sanctions are never a perfectly precise instrument and that they may mean hardship for ordinary iranians who already suffer under the repressive regime in iran. but i support sanctions nonetheless because they can work with the international community recognizes the outlaw nation poses a common threat to us all. a case president obama and secretary clinton are making persuasively as was the point of the chairman of the committee to our fellow security council members. and the case the administration continued to make at this

has something that has mutated going back to what it used to be?what we need today for the sake of the survival of this planet is long-term vision. can governments whose very survival depends on immediate extractive short-term gain provide this? could it be that democracy, the sacred answer to our short-term hopes and prayers, the protector of our individual freedoms and nurturer of our dreams will turn out to be the endgame for the human race. could it be the democracy is such a hit with modern humans. precisely because it mirrors our greatest folly. our nearsightedness. our inability to live entirely in the present like most animals do. combined with our inability to see very far into the future makes us strange in between creatures. either beast nor profit. our amazing intelligence seems to have outstripped our instinct for survival. we plunder the earth hoping accumulating materials surplus will make up for that profound unfathomable thing that we have lost. as a writer, a fiction writer, i've often wondered whether the attempt to always be pre

treasury secretary tim geithner has been focused on this and has been talking about this and is focused on information exchange. we have had a variety of enforcement programs around this. as we geared up enforcement programs, we created a program we call the voluntary disclosure program, which is not an amnesty because the way it works is if you come in voluntarily, you have to pay back taxes, you have to pay a hefty penalty, you have to pay interest, but you can avoid going to jail. we had an overwhelming response this fall when we close down the program. 15,000 people came in and disclosed their foreign bank accounts and were in the process of moving them through the system. what i can say around trends is that there are taxpayers -- or bank accounts in over 70 countries. every continent except antarctica was represented. we are collecting the leads and processing groups people need to audit or get more information from. we are trying to close out cases, but we are looking for patterns of financial institutions, advisers, countries, money flows, which will be the next wave of our enfo

the share in successes our country has achieved in these areas. according to the office of the global aids coordinator, the president's emergency plan for aids relief is directly supporting life-saving anti- viral treatment for more than 2.4 million men, women, and children. they represent more than half of the estimated 4 million individuals in low and middle income countries on treatment. before the program began in 2003, only 50,000 people in all of sub-saharan africa were receiving life-saving anti-retro viral drugs. today, 10 times that many are being treated in south africa alone. the success of prevention programs is harder to measure, but no less critical. vaccine research, development, and distributions remain at the forefront of prevention efforts for hiv, malaria, tuberculosis, and other diseases that played the developing world. i think the gates foundation for their $10 billion pledged to provide vaccine research and to distribute vaccines to the poorest countries. both of our witnesses have spent a great deal of time thinking critica

it has had many revisions. our plan has had many revisions. there been changes due to the military situation and political situation. there been changes for reasons we're not privy to. that is caused us to make changes contingency. there are several phases to this operation. we've had to build inside our plan all the logistical adjustments that have to happen within a phase. there are many camps that have things happening to them. an example would be for the camps that are to become a tenant camp, we would have to make logistical adjustments. in december, we were estimating a small number of those. as of a few weeks ago, the plan adjustments have taken at no. and multiplied it by a factor fof four. there many adjustment's going on. we understand that. we would benefit by insight into the plan. we appreciate the realities of the war. we know that much of the information cannot be privy to us. we feel when we absolutely need to get the information, we will get it. it does impact our ability to finalize a comprehensive plan. >> there was consider

this is what has been nosing south. but this warp front through west virginia, this is what has been making its way to the north and east. the warm front going to win out. it has already been winning out with high clouds back over the area. same front that's going to produce showers through the area tomorrow. and lit stall out right near the area. so it is scattered showers for us tomorrow and we are going to be on the cool side of this system. highs tomorrow in the low 60s. and then we will be on the other side of the front under here by time we get to sunday. warmth and have some of this stuff that has been going on down south the big storms we talked about, arkansas and through mississippi and through areas of eastern louisiana right now. and again, all part of a larger system that will get better organized over the next couple of days. before we take a look at our quiet radar, let me take you to clarendon, texas. this is north texas. got some video of tornadoes here to show you where a series of tornadoes touched do

he has been there awhile. done a lot of things. >> lehrer: 18 years. >> and so he is someone who is sort of stuck in the middle there and there is little room for that. >> lehrer: do you see that, ruth. >> exactly, and it was absolutely remarkable that within a few minutes of his announcement you had e-mails from both in my in-box anyway from both the national organization for women and other folks cheering that he was leaving because he was such an opponent of theres on abortion rights. and the tea party was delighted as well. so if there is any sort of particularly terrific metaphor for the absence of space as david said in the middle these days, and for the extreme t is the fact that bart stupak who was in the middle in a sort of odd way, very, not just on abortion, on gun rights and things like that, socially, conservative, economically, liberal/moderate didn't have a place to be in the current political environment. >> lehrer: okay, let's go on to the other retirement of the day. the big one, the retireme

the law school's attorney greg garr pointed out there has never been any evidence that a group has beenabotaged by members who don't believe in the group's purpose or objectives. in the 20 years, he said, that this policy has been in effect. >> woodruff: all right. two interesting cases. two important cases. we'll be watching for the court's ruling. marcia coyle, thanks very much. >> my pleasure. >> brown: next, american catholics respond to the troubles of their church. at the vatican today, pope benedict xvi celebrated his fifth anniversary as pontiff with a private lunch with cardinals. the official vatican newspaper reported the pope spoke of the church as a "wounded sinner"-- words that came as he and the church continue to face criticism around the world for the way they've handled the sexual abuse cases. newshour correspondent tom bearden looks at how catholics in the denver area are reacting. ♪ >> reporter: lynn green grew up catholic, attended kath look schools through college and considered priests and nuns her friends. she goes to church regularly. >> the first reading is fro

that has not been removed. what has been removed -- in the reality of what we know today, we see no requirement for any additional testing. we feel very comfortable staying in an environment and a protocol of not doing nuclear testing, as it is defined, and that we see no need for additional nuclear weapons of a new type, either in capability or capacity. this is a reflection of where we are now, looking for work, versus a reflection. i always have the responsibility as a commander to come in and say -- if i must say that a particular weapon is not going to make it, or refurbishment or reuse will be insufficient. all the commanders have that ability. >> as we transition to the next question, secretary gates said he sees the investment program as a credible modernization plan to deal with these issues. plan to deal with these issues. >> i do not completely >> i don't completely understand the replacement category.

nobody has said out.seems to me what you did you used fox news as a whipping boy when we didn't qualify there. >> the senator admitted he may have made a mistake but to be fair the mistake is understandable because last fall when jail time was on the table, fox news reported it as we should have. listen to this. >> do you think it's appropriate to have a threat of jail time for those that refuse to buy insurance? >> what i think is appropriate is that in the same way that everybody has to get auto insurance, if you don't you are subject to some penalty. >> reporter: i'm trying to understand. if you don't buy health insurance, you go to jail? >> there is, i think the legislation is fair in this respect. >> bill: as we all know the prison option was taken off the table when the final bill was being debated. that is what we were talking to senator coburn about. the final debate. so what i said is true, nobody at fox news reported inaccurately about the obama care prison situation. nobody. media matters as th

you talked about the political capital the president has and the capital he has with european leaders because of the treaty and how that will play out with other issues this year. >> that is a great question. it is hard to quantify. i think that 56 says the administration has experience in the last month, international leaders in europe and elsewhere have to regard the administration as one which is, there was a tendency given the difficulty of the first year to sort of say they are weak and discount them and we may not be dealing with this guy in 2012 and beyond. 5 think that the ovulation looks different now than just one month ago. howled that is going to play out -- how that is going to play out and behind the scenes, the administration has been getting closer to a meeting of the mine's not only with the russians but to some extent with the chinese. china decided to come to the nuclear summit. if the could offset tight a correlation between the victory in health care and that but the fact that he is coming here bolsters that image that this is a president that is looking more succ

israel is -- as a country has committed terrorist acts. it has no friends in that region.ntually, the american public are going to realize that they don't even agree with israel on most issues. you have people in america right now who are against home sexuality or against abortion who support israel when in fact israel support's those things. where as the people that we're fighting are against those things and agree with most americans about those issues. so eventually this is going to end and end badly and israel's nuclear weapons are going to get used or may get used and we need to get in there and destroy those weapons before israel gets a chance to destroy this world with them. host: sor are to cut you off. we got the gist of your conversation and need to get a response. guest: in this case, the question circulates around nuclear weapons. and i think i would like to point to the new start treaty which was convened just few days ago. and our director general here has also welcomed this treaty as a significant step towards a world without nuclear weapons because everybod

al-qaeda has always had a foothold in yemen and it has always been a major concern for the united states. what i can say definitely is that the obama administration has been focused on yemen since day one. we've worked very closely and much more effectively with the yemeni authorities over the last several months and we're making genuine progress. we've engaged consistently and intensively with our yemeni counterparts to help build political will for our counterterrorism objectives. many of the administration's senior civilian and military officials including deputy national security advisor brennan, assistant secretary of state jeff feltman, general david petraeus and myself have visited yemen in recent months to discuss how we can jointly confront the threat of al-qaeda. and the result of this kind of engagement has been the most forceful actions and aggressive response that we have seen to aquap in many years. those actions it's important to emphasize began the december 25th plot and have continued ever since. we recognize that al-qaeda has taken advantage of insecurity in various reg

no bounds, has no veto, has no -- has no bounds. all of a sudden it's used potentially as a social justice mechanism in this country. they're concerned about that. they're probably hearing from manufacturers who actually make things and buy hedges or derivatives to make sure their material prices down the road can be hedged again so they don't lose money fulfilling a contract. that's probably who they're hearing from. so, madam president, when we talk about either you're for this bill and against wall street, that's just a low-level argument. it has nothing to do with the facts. the fact is, to me, from where i sit, we've got a lot of people in this body who want a good bill. and it seems to me the best way -- the best way to get to a good bill is to at least get the template of the bill agreed to in advance. to get the bill agreed to as it relates to orderly liquidation. i think everybody in this body wants to make sure if a large organization or any organization in this country fails, it fails. but certainly these highly complex b

but no one has see him because he is very secretive. but he has been here. we know it. >> you have a whole bunch of different things going on today. of course you have got the bunnies and the candy. tell us. >> it is a great event. we have the cow, because nothing says easter like our cow, of course. we have arts and crafts for the kids. we have the famous easter egg hunt, which is ongoing from 10:00 until concord coalition. little kids come in -- 2:00. kids turn them in and get these yummy treats. so it is a lot of fun. we had a great crowd yesterday and we're looking forward to another beautiful day. >> so it's not a big, ready, set, go, everybody go look for the eggs. they're doing this throughout the area? >> it's a little more laid back. we have done the ready, set, go in the past and have seen little kids get trampled by the bigger kids, and that is not fun. so this way we've got it going on all day. people can go into the zoo and come up to the event, or go to the event and then go to the zoo. it's something that's laid back and a lot of fun. >> do th

and now shields has him over. and has his head covered. >> shields doing a great job of positioning. now dan henderson pulling shields. he loves this position. he is so dangerous right here. yes. from the top position, and he really is persistent on tagging him. sticks to the course, get position, get him down and finish him off. >> three minutes, shields, three minutes. here comes that guard, the whole body up in the air to do it. >> a tough spot for henderson. >> seems like a lifetime ago when henderson a got shields with the right hand. now he is inside position. >> let's see what he goes for. like time -- last time he quickly dismounted. he tried to isolate an arm. a lot of options here, knees and shields corner asking for the knee strike now. >> henderson moving. now shields you know what is funny, technically, on his back dan henderson has been trained by jujitsu guys so technically what he knows on his back is jujitsu and a fine jujitsu practitioner. >> henderson not using his hips to get out of there, crea

guest: i think it has. i spent a great deal abroad and what i get from others -- a number of societies are broad and have basically said that it shows america is coming into the kind of enlightenment timeframe. of course, the question is, in the majority of countries across the world, we still do not see the election of someone who is multi-cultural or multiracial. but in the context of that, you know, we keep going into this thing of what is american culture? i think it is a combination of people who come to america and bring their different perspectives. i do not think we need to get stuck as much on the definition of american culture, but focus on how people who are americans are living here. how do we work together as a society? for me, that is the issue. host: easton, texas, john on the independent line. caller: the issue is, i wish c- span would put on "washington journal" later at night because we need another point of view other than talk shows and things of that nature. host: thanks for your commen

and has caused pain. the standard treatment was androgen deprivation therapy and that survival was three years. now less than 10% of men are diagnosed with incurable prostate cancer and five-year survival. treatment is essentially 100%. however the age adjusted incidence of prostate cancer has increased 30% since 1994 to produce this 36% reduction in deaths. if we had achieved a 36% reduction in mortality in any other solid cancer in america there would be cause for jubilation. so why is there so much controversy about psa? that controversy stems from my second , and that is a term that has been discussed here, autopsy prostate cancer, also called nonlethal prostate cancer earlier. the problem is that the incidence of prostate cancer is approximately the age of the man in other words, 20% of 20-year-olds already have prostate cancer in their prostate and 80% of 80-year-olds already have prostate cancer. prostate via seas will find about half of these autopsy cancers. because psa has been mentioned here to

has 180,000 troops in iraq, india has more than half a million troops in kashmir.an armed soldier for every 20 civilians. and and, you know, i often say that there is so much, you know, there is so much criticism of the u.s. and the u.s. government's policy and u.s. foreign policy and very often people omit to make a distinction between people and their governments. maybe and democracies, the elite are sort of future with the government, but then there are, you know, there are obviously people who totally disagree with what their governments are doing. in america you have so many people who have been conscientious objectors, our people have refused to fight. but i don't know of a single one in india. you know, if there is a war against pakistan, or if it is about cash needs, you can count the people on their fingers who will object. and we're actually now living through a kind of system of nationalism which becomes so painful because, because whether it is coca-cola or air conditioners or cars or mosquito repellent or all sort of soul do you wrap in the national fl
