united states has the regime militarily in so many countries in my lifetime very rarely has it worked out for the american intervention discredits the alternative to the tyranny of its being reported on because of it appears the pride was overthrown with the backing of the united states in the forces of favor of domestic democracy we're seeing that in addition what we're seeing in egypt and in libya. it's not true these are pro-democracy movements or these are. despotic movements they want to get rid of the dictator but getting rid of a dictator as we want in many countries doesn't lead to superintend democracy that's a process. western governments are frozen the assets of moammar gadhafi and other senior figures in libya's government a.c.d. aim is to help bring down a government refusing the will of its people because artes or the stroke or its history suggests libya may never see its money again after the international. there are a lot of very big you was sent warships and more troops in that direction fueling speculation of a military intervention and meanwhile western countries ma

for weeks, libya's oil output has been minimal. but that has not led to shortages worldwide. many countries hold massive reserves. germany has enough for around three months. even so, oil analysts are nervous. if unrest spreads across the arab world, there could be further interruptions in supply. the world is dependent on oil from the middle east and north africa. it is 36% of the global supply. around 20% comes from europe, russia, and asia. much of the rest is produced in north and latin america. saudi arabia is the only oil- producing country which could increase its output in the short term. serious political unrest there would likely create huge turmoil on global oil markets. >> oil remained the dominant factor weighing on european markets this wednesday. in frankfurt, germany's blue- chip index closed 0.5% lower. the eurostoxx 50 down as well. the dow industrials are up at 12,104. the euro is trading for $1.3855. good news for portugal. investors remained faithful to the highly indebted country. newly issued securities were met by solid demand today. the portuguese gov

that the government has says it has given excellent advice and in that situation there really isn't anything else you can do if radiation levels are high the government will administer anti-radiation medications such as such as i have in the military and the firefighters who are in the vicinity working on this problem are certainly specially trained to deal with this kind of emergency and i can speculate that they are attempting to cool. the remaining reactor core using high pressure water if the roof of the building is off. and out water will simply vaporize into radioactive steam and the amount of water required to cruel the reactor core would be significant so there simply seem to be two options one is to continue trying to deliver water to that reactor core and the second. is simply to to evacuate as many can cause possible so obviously unfortunately emergency workers in the vicinity will be receiving. quite dangerous levels of radiation. at this point the best thing that the public can do or the government can do for the public is to move people as far away as possible hopefully this di

caring for people with dementia has long been a challenge. one of the most difficult things to deal with is wandering. japan developed a technique to deal with that symptom a decade ago and now it is attracting attention. >> reporter: in most countries, patients who wander just stopped. they listen to patients so the factors that cause them to wander can be eliminated. often nursing care providers don't listen to patients when they say, for example, they want to go home. sometimes the stories they hear sound absurd or inconsistent. instead of getting more details, they outright refuse a patient's request. that can make patients feel rejected, causing them to feel anxiety and distrust toward their caregivers. these feelings can make an elderly patient's condition worse. staff at this japanese nursing care facility are familiar with the listening method. they are using it to help this 87-year-old patient. he's prone to wandering and used to get panicked when people tried to stop him, but his condition has improved after careful observation. sta

that has to change. that has to change. we cannot keep going from shock when gas prices go up to a trance when they go back down. we go back to what we are doing until there is a price spike and then we are shocked again. we cannot rush to propose action when gas prices are high and hit the snooze button when they fall. we cannot keep on doing that. the united states of america cannot afford to buy that our long term prosperity, our long- term security on a resource that will eventually run out. even before runs out, we will get more expensive -- it will get more expensive to extract from the ground. we cannot afford it when the cost is so high. not when you're generation needs to get this right. it is time to do what we can to secure our energy future. and today, i want to announce a new goal, one that is reasonable, one that is achievable, and one that is necessary. when i was elected to this office, americans imported 11 million barrels of oil a day. by a little more than a decade from now, we will have cut that by one-t

but that doesn't always happen libya for one has used its p.r. machine before with misleading results in one thousand nine hundred five u.k. based. our agency was paid four million pounds to try and subvert the evidence that pointed towards libyan involvement in the lockerbie case and this is what has led to all sorts of alternative theories about lockerbie although of course all the evidence to point to the fact that al macgraw in female were actually responsible so you know how to play by these these rules they know how to play the game and it's transparency that's lacking in the u.k. p.r. information appears in the media but people have no idea who put it there and the only way one can be really sure about all the information that will be bombarded with on a daily basis is where does it come from and is that person partial or impartial in that way we get a much clearer idea of what it is that we're being told although there is a new body in the u.k. designed to regulate the p.r. industry declaring clients is still voluntary london's soho is th

today the debris has become a site for war tourism.amilies flock out of the city to revel in the wreckage. jubilant and optimistic not just that they are safe, but they have some very powerful friends on their side. >> this road is littered with debris like this. a number of tanks and military vehicles have been hit we believe by french fighter jets operating in the early start of this no-fly zone. of course this gives succor to the rebels and the revolutionary council. but the truth is that gaddafi's forces have not gone away. >> there were reports that colonel gaddafi's forces were retreating. they hadn't. and listen to what happened next. a tang round whistles past, fired by government troops. there was chaos and panic as the militia turned and fled. a number were injured, some killed. this is what colonel gaddafi's cease-fire looks like in the east. and this rag-tag army of the rebellion looks like a poor match even with the help of the west. the vision of a united free libya, and every small step is greeted as a victory. if they w

a time that has been obviously very difficult and has tested the people of chile. i want to thank you for the focus and energy that you have brought to the partnership between our two countries, which we have strengthened today. we are moving ahead with efforts to expand trade and investment, as the president mentioned, and our existing trade agreement, trade has more than doubled, creating new jobs and opportunities in both our countries. we believe there is alwa more we can do to expand our economic cooperation. today we recommit ourselves to fully implement our free trade agreement to include protection of intellectual properties or businesses can innovate and stay competitive. we agreed to build on the progress we are making towards a trans-pacific partnership, so we can see the full potential of trade in the asia-pacific, especially for small and medium businesses. it is my hope that along with our other partners, we can reach an agreement on the frame work of the end of this year. an agreement that can serve as a model for the 21st century. we are expanding a

always libya also has the potential a big a very big investor in the rest of the world indeed it has been for a very long time and i think this is much more about european and western influence in the new new and emerging countries of north africa and i think the west is trying to assert itself and i am also suspicious that we might end up with a division of libya was to partition into and east by those that currently ruling the roost in the western part of the remains of his government this is a very sad and very tragic situation. revolutionary moods been spreading across the middle east and north africa for almost three months syria is the latest country where people are marching to voice their anger for them it's about the freedom to speak out five people have reportedly been killed after security forces fired on hundreds of demonstrators in the southern city of daraa the crackdown was launched after multiple protests were not defying a ban on march sixth in yemen at least forty five people died dozens of others were injured after snipers allegedly opened fire on workers from the

>> he has to do that. he has not done that.partment seems to be putting out more road blocks on american energy production than actually leading in the way to produce more energy. we need more clean american energy. that is a driving force for this country right now. we're not seeing that leadership. we've got gulf oil production blocked basically by not get geting permits, only two have been made since the oil spill. and we need to get moving. we simply cannot afford not to. >> i'm going to have to make that the last word. senators, thank you all very much. >>> coming up -- after almost a decade of war, the u.s. military finds itself stretched thinner by yet another conflict in the middle east. what ignited saturday's decision to mobilize in libya? and what are the consequences for the u.s. and the president's legacy? our rounds table weighs in. president on the council on foreign relations richard haas, former cia director michael hayden nbc's andrea mitchell and jim miklaszewski and the "new york times'" helene cooper. durin

one of germany's most popular politicians has resigned. defense minister karl-theodor zu guttenberg announced he would be stepping down. this after mounting pressure over plagiarism accusations. the move is seen as a major blow for chancellor angela merkel who had thrown her support behind this popular politician. >> in the end, the fallout from the plagiarism scandal was too much. the man in whom so many of conservatives had invested has resigned. because of the possible damage caused to this office, to the parties supporting me, i take the same step i have demanded and would demand of others. >> he was unwilling to take that step initially. as charges of plagiarism mounted, he moved from denial to partial admission. and he accused the media of paying too much attention to the scandal. >> public and media pressure has almost exclusively focused on the person of zu guttenberg and his dissertation instead of the damage or wounding of 13 soldiers. this is a drastic was placement of attention that is damaging to those to whom i am responsible

by the when it has been by the earth by some in japan history will repeat itself at least has been on the scars of nuclear disaster for most of his life as a resident of nagasaki you sure he has had liver and kidney problems since he was thirty five and he's already beaten cancer twice every time you falls ill now epeat it could be his last battle. issue no watches events unfold at fukushima fearing the true nature of the disaster is yet to show itself so you are saying that the result of the contamination won't just end of the event it will be handed down from generation to generation i have four daughters the first to have leukemia another has breast cancer the results of a disaster will be shown and generations to come. you should know was just eleven when the bomb was dropped he survived the blast but was exposed to lethal levels of radiation on his two trips to the hypocenter first to find his father then to bury him despite everything he's pro-nuclear power but still think. it's the wife thing to do him so then the i don't think the public all the government are overreacting in
