it has the olympics. it has done rather well. a little earlier, i spoke to the chief executive and asked him how much the eurozone crisis has impacted business. >> we have some countries where consumption is still very good. we have some more consumption is slowing down because of, for example, financial problems in greece. overall, as you have seen in 2011, we were able to grow by 10% and in 2012, with the european championship, healthy in in europe. we definitely expect growth for us as well. >> he said to me that he is helping design the olympic outfits. it makes me want to become an ouathlete. but i am not quite fit enough. >> i love the amazing results. >> very restrained. >> thank you very much. tens of thousands of africans have joined a strike on a new road tolls. the trades union are exploiting workers. report from the heart johannesburg. >> we are in the center of johannesburg. we are surrounded by thousands and thousands of protesters. these are from the congress of south african trade unions. the idea today, to make a

so greece has to step up efforts. why they're using this drastic rhetoric, but nobody here is really expecting the europeans to put up border controls. they're doing it occasionally already now, so it is not that much of a new thing. but observers are saying this is not likely to happen. >> where is greece supposed to get the money for this? >> well, i have hinted at it before. it is not a question of money. journalists have also asked this question today in a briefing of the european commission. the european commission was quite clear. they said all these structures are in place. there are structural funds which the european commission has offered to greece. they're just not tapped, which mean that greece has not applied for certain amounts of money, and there's the question of 15 billion euros that are not used by the greeks. this is something where greece really has to sit down and get its administration in order. >> ok, thank you very much for that update from brussels. >> 100 years ago, more than a million women

[cheers] the history of the world has shown that economic freedom is the only force that has consistently lifted people out of poverty. it's the only principle that has ever been able to sustain prosperity. but over the last three years, this administration has been engaged in an all-out assault on our free. borrow accurate prevent drilling rigs from going to work in the gulf. they keep coal from being mined, impede the sny of natural gas, even tell kids what they're allowed to go do on their farms. and now, by the way, the president is trying to erase his record with new rhetoric. the other day he said we are inventors, builders, makers of things. we are thomas edison. we're the wright brothers. we're bill gates. we are still jobs. wait, i missed that. we have steve jobs. that's true. but the problem is he's still barack obama. [cheers] and you see, under barack obama, those pioneers he mentioned would have faced a very difficult time trying to innovate and invent and invest and create and build jobs. you see, under dodd-frank they would have found it almost impossible to get a loan from

what has changed? is it that just now othey are changing the music now? what has changed? us this has been an issue for a long term. -- this has been an issue for a long time. they were cited last year on february 7. there has been lots of notices going out. we have not gotten a lot of responses back. with lack of response, you are not sure if they did or did not. that is a valid question. this has been an issue a long time, and neighbors have reached the breaking point. >> two other commissioners have questions? i was going to ask a question, but i can wait. >> i think it would pabe really valuable to listen to the neighbors discuss it etc. >> thank you. i need all the guidance i can get. have you had the occasion to take any sound test spars there. >> the sound escapes from the front to the buyer has improved -- to the back has improved. the sound going into neighbors residents on either side has not improved. i think it is important to make one comment. this permit is older than the hills, so a big

the rain has not come. it has been getting worse for years. there are nearly no men left in the village now. they have gone abroad in search of work. 2012 is going to be particularly tough. harvests could fail. prices are shooting up. there is growing insecurity across the region. so, the familiar warning signs. children are arrived this week. the united nations fears 400,000 children could be in this condition within months. almost one in tennis likely to die. -- in ten is likely to die. it is much worse already this year, says this nurse. she is seeing more children arrive in a state of complete exhaustion. yet, the village is not without hope. maya's village, a scheme to trap rain water to revive the fields. there is finally a democratic government acknowledging the crisis and cooperating with the outside world, keys to avoiding a famine. she now gets a small wage from the united nations. >> because of this work, we can feed our families, she says. >> that does not change the fact that the village well is drying up. she needs a long rope ea

i think he has done that. he has been open about that. in terms of ethical lapses in congress, if you go back and look at that it doesn't hold up. it was an effort by democrats to embarrass the speaker of the house. they did not do it with what i believe moral integrity but newt has had to deal with that. >> do you feel they understand your challenges and concerns, yes or no? >> yes. >> do you think one of those people are going to defeat barack obama? >> yes. >> so you are pretty optimistic. i'm not sure if i would be. coming up next, see a couple of the ads, one of the most brilliant campaign commercials and later on in the show we'll hear more about the budget than you ever thought possible. we'll [ kyle ] my b. [ roger ] tell me you have go insurance. yup, i've got... [ dennis ] ...allstate. really? i was afraid you'd have some cut-rate policy. [ kyle ] nope, i've got... [ dennis ] ...the allstate value plan. it's their most affordable car insurance -- and you still get an allstate agent. i too have... [ dennis ] ...allstate. [ roger

he has been, again, like mr. genser, a great source of information and is accurate as well as actionable, so i thank him for his leadership on behalf of people of all faith, including and especially christians, who are suffering so much in the people's republic of china. i'd like to now ask geng ho to present her testimony. >> louder, please? [ speaking foreign language ] >> can you hear me? okay, yes. [ speaking chinese ] >> greetings, everyone. greetings to chairman and mr. co-chairman. thank you for inviting me to speak about my husband, imprisoned human rights lawyer. i would like to thank the commission for holding this hearing and everyone in attendance for interest in this case. [ speaking chinese ] >> translator: my husband is a lawyer in china. he represented some of the country's most vulnerable citizens. he represented the plaintiffs who lost their lives to development projects like the 2008 summer olympics. he defended factory workers who were arrested demonstrating against low wages and long hours. h

germany has a new president.haps expectations of a german head of state have never been so high as they are of jaochim gauck. >> those expectations are very high, indeed. let's bring in our political correspondent peter for more. what was your impression of the speech today? >> of course, we saw the former east german civil rights activist jaochim gauck talking about the peaceful revolution in east germany that brought down communism and brought freedom to so many people. he reiterated that freedom is the central theme of his life. talking about present-day germany, he made the interesting comment that he believes this is the best germany we have ever had. what he was also referring to is that it was his belief that this country has a very high level of democracy and an unusually high level of solidarity, according to jaochim gauck. that point solidarity is interesting, because in recent days and weeks, people have challenged him, suggesting he does not have as much sympathy for the have nots in german society, a

he went on to say, and he has made that argument to you i assume, has he not? >> he has. but again, i think he's in the process of looking again at those questions as are we. >> uh-huh. and so your response was look further? >> yes, again, we both have the same basic interest which is we want to make sure that those institutions are doing things to not just help repair the daniel in the housing market but doing so consistent with their obligation established by congress to make sure they're doing things that would limit the risk of future losses to the taxpayer. >> finally secretary geithner, let me ask about the stakes here. mr. dimarco controls all of the loans guaranteed by fannie mae and freddie mac. how many families could be affected by his decisions, hundreds of thousands i would think or millions potentially. >> no, not millions. it's an hard to tell. they -- i know it's not part of the popular wisdom but the gses were actually more conservative, more careful in their underwriting standards than the loans they took. so the broader quality of their loans is actuall

and he has played up the fact he has won five states in a row so he has momentum, so, that is one ofthe delegates are divided evenly. 55 delegates at steak and half are from the popular vote and the other half based on congressional districts so whoever wednesday the popular vote will not sweep the delegates. >>neil: that is weird but you understand it. carl, thank you. jobs are the big issue so the president has another powwow landed with c.e.o.'s tonight and a c.e.o. who is not coming. ahead. all energy development comes with some risk, but proven technologies allow natural gas producers to supply affordable, cleaner energy, while protecting our environment. across america, these technologies protect air - by monitoring air quality and reducing emissions... ...protect water - through conservation and self-contained recycling systems... ... and protect land - by reducing our footprint and respecting wildlife. america's natural gas... domestic, abundant, clean energy to power our lives... that's smarter power today. impact wool exports from new zealand, textile production in spain, a

rick santorum has tremendous energy behind him, but the governor romney has done, he has come in and, this is unbelievable i've never seen it happen in ohio. $12 million in two weeks. he has outspent santorum about 12 to 1. very nasty robo calls. tv ads. so that is how he has been able to narrow this gap depending on which poll you look at. there was one poll that had santorum up by three or four. another one had it just the opposite way. it's a deed heat now. by spending that amount of money he has been able to do it. what is amazing is, that even though he spent 12-1. $12 million in week. i got five robo calls on sunday all of them against santorum and in favor of romney. in spite of that, it's still a dead heat. >> greta: are you saying that governor romney has more money who are or he is playing dirty? >> look, negative campaigns work. we know that. that is why campaigns do that. what i'm simply saying, it shows to me that he is not going to be a strong candidate in the fall. he is not that strong a candidate because the only thing he can do is with a massive amount of money. if
