occupy has become a brand. it has also become e ncampments. soon it will need to be more than a space and a place. it will need to go to state houses, occupy banks, occupy congress. take the movement energy into those stairs -- spheres with the ideas matter of the heart of occupy. >> winter is coming. cities like san francisco and oakland and other cities are closing down the encampments and chasing people off. you can drive 90 miles from davis and pepper spray. it is hard to maintain people's attention for long periods of time. i am wondering -- should they be occupying the supreme court? [applause] >> i was talking about that today. with all respect for putting your body on the line which captivated the imagination in the beginning, it now needs to be less about states and place -- spaces and places and more about going to wear in justice -- injustice is. there are plans to occupy the supreme court from the second anniversary of the citizens united decision. that crazy decision has given the rights to corporations to unleash their treasuries

the government in buenos aires has revived its bid for control of the archipelago and has intensifiedon london. britain has no intention of relinquishing the falklands. for many of argentinian, the malvinas will always be theirs. >> this is not just an issue for britain. it is an issue for the entire e you. jeff joins us from brussels. can you tell us why the new tensions are such a source of concern were you are? >> it is little known fact that in the recently agreed lisbon treaty on european union, strangely enough there was a reference to the falklands. the declaration of the treaty says that the falklands along to the united kingdom, and therefore, of course, that means that 27 nations, including the u.k., have subscribed to that belief. officially. now, if you talk to european commission felt here, they will say, look, it has nothing to do with us. this is a foreign policy matter for argentina and for the united kingdom. so we do not want to get involved. but in fact, if there's any by is one where the other, because of the treaty reference, the express instructions of the britis

kofi annan has reached out to iran.keeping assad in power means a key ally, one that is close to iran's archenemy israel. the two countries have provided 75 million euros of eight. -- of eight. -- of aid. for now, the prospects of a lasting peace and syria are uncertain. whatever comes out of this conflict, it is likely to have a long-term effect on the balance of power of any region. >> for more, we're joined by middle east analyst peter sch tienbeck. how do you see this going. >> if the country accepts the cease-fire and the other conditions, that means regime change. they cannot accept the annan plan. >> there has been cross border firing. and this conflict go beyond syria? >> definitely. for the time being, they will not react with force, but there are some areas -- for example the kurdish areas, where there are a larger number of refugees entering turkey. and maybe prompted to intervene militarily. >> several countries seem to let us take on what is going on in syria. >> it is becoming a proxy war. the assad regime

she has been with mta a short six years, but has already demonstrated great leadership. jaime has been the campaign capt.. he has been the captain since 2000 aid to and they are the unsung heroes -- 2008, and they are the unsung heroes. they hustled to try to get as many employees as possible to participate. he has generated more than 100 pledges. as a result of their work, we exceeded our goal for the agency of 25% participation. more than 1200, almost 1300 pledges on behalf of the agency. thank you for direct generosity and leadership. >> thank you very much. would you like to say a few words? >> i am honored to receive this award. i was a bit surprised because i had no idea. it is good for our morale. i am really honored. thank you again. >> mr. garcia? >> i am also honored to be here. i would like to thank debra franks. and miss rhonda ford for her generosity. i hope we do better next year. >> thank you.

has been pakistan. i've always been joking enough. there are other countries. either extremely narrow or broad. a process where you get everybody sitting around the table which means in a region where there are so many dynamics, so many security problems between countries, to put them all around the table is to make sure nobody is a nonspoiler but we don't really get much ahead. so the large problem, the larger solution has been either too narrow or too solution. now what kind of precondition would be necessary in order to actually have a viable regional solution or to actually start going towards a regional solution? again, when i'm saying these things, i'm not off my talking points from seven is tral asia because these are all the things that have come around in central asia. this is, for example, there was one person who is very close to the uzbek government, i met in one of these meetings and since it was off the record, he said -- he got up and said i have three questions. "a," will karzai stay? "b

has that u.s.ttorney said anything or done anything to make the parents feel like he's ready and willing to move forward on this? >> there has not been anything as of yet. >> let's take a look at that enhanced video. this coming on the heels of what we've seen late last week with police station video that did not appear to show anything. how is this enhanced video showing something on the back of zimmerman's head. is that effecting the opinion in the community as to what happened? >> if there was a scuffle they're expected to be some marks on george zimmerman. but the issue is the story that has been told has been so season indicationnallized that we expect to see george zimmerman essentially carried out on a gurney, in an ambulance with blood dripping from his nose and the back of his head because of the story told by his family and george zimmerman himself when he established he was trying to defend himself. if there are scratches on the back of george zimmerman's head it's indicative that there

one has you up by 5. that's gallup. rasmussen has you up by 3, fox has you up by 2. but by all accounts, there has never been a race with an incumbent president with these numbers, this low, that has gone on to win the presidency. so i assume you are energized by the numbers. >> well, it's better than the the -- the alternative of course. a lot will happen between now and november 6. but i believe if we are able to continue to talk about the president's record and the fact that he is over his head and swimming in the wrong direction that he is not created the jobs he said he would create. he has not held unemployment below 8%. it's been above 8% 38 straight months. a record number of foreclosures have occurred and he's done that, borrowing trillions of dollars that has passed on to the next generation and threatens even this one. if we talk about those thing, i think he's in real trouble. what he is trying to do is to try to find any way to divert from his record, to divert the attention of the voting public. i think americans are too smart for that. >> sean: what is

obama has his eye on brazil and china to increase u.s. exports. last year alone, foreign companies pumped 50 billion euros into the country, more than two times 2006. >> but that success can come at a cost. as we hear in this report. >> when the reasons for brazil's strong economy is as well of natural resources. more and more offshore oil fields are being discovered and exploited in its coastal waters. the ore deposits are in excess as well. brazil boasts the second largest reserves of iron ore after australia. because of raw material prices are on the rise, brazil's economy has grown faster than more established, industrialized countries. in recent years, brazil's gdp has been expanding at an average rate of 4%. that outpaced germany and the u.s. the german economy has grown at 1.5%, the u.s. economy only at 0.5%. but there is a downside. get numb -- economic crises in industrialized countries are prompting more and more investors to put more money into brazil. now brazilian products are comparatively expensive on world markets. the country is n

he has the strongest advisor he has is his own wife. have read that she is very conscious of not engaging in campaign strategy with the staff, but that she holds back and saves her voice for private conversations. maybe she needs to speak up a little bit more -- >> on the other hand you have president obama, mrs. obama who had a fund raiser here in san francisco the other night. she has done 43 fundraisers in the last month -- >> yeah, she is just terrific. but let me ask you quickly about this uas today poll. the top issue for men were gas prices, the top issue for women were health care and gas prices. but for women, it's health care. what does this tell us in terms of romney's failure inside of his own war room to be able to get the right advice? >> women control the pocketbook issues in the family so he needs to make a better appeal to women to do that. the thing is he doesn't have a consistent position on health care. he's not on solid ground there. >> it's another weak -- somebody who looks weak. >> stay right here, you guys. we'r

so i think damage has been done.n the other hand, mitt romney has come out looking a lot better than most of the time because of these recent wins. i think that santorum doesn't leave it will be his trouble. >> there is a lot of wisdom in the country in western music and famous song, you got to know when no hold them and you got to know when to fold them. i think he made mitt romney a better candidate and i think he has a future of the voice within the party. i think if he goes forward he is going to marginalize himself and at some point he ends up on outside the party. i don't think that is where he would go. >> if he lost his home state. >> that would ruin i am. >> paul: here is the issue i want to pose to you. you look at the independents and romney favorable and unfavorable. favorable, unfavorable the 50%. favorable at mid 30. that is very larryfied of candidate from a major candidate. >> it's not encouraging. on the other hand, when you got mitt romney for the last two or three out gos he has obviously new speec

it has penetrated pockets of the population. it is powerful. it has persuasion. they feel the need to accommodate it. >> will it actually work? he has friends in high places. who is going to turn him in? >> it is not that he needs to be turned in. they could arrest and tomorrow if they wanted to. he has been under house arrest a number times. the problem is prosecuting him. >> thank you up for joining us. >> thank you for having me. >> two syria where the exiled -- two syria now where the exiled on goal of bashar al-assad says that he does not believe he will hold on to power much longer. he unsuccessfully tried to seize power in the 1980's. he told the bbc that the level of violence is too high for his message to survive. >> 30 years ago, he was the most -- the second most powerful man, the army commander and the father of syria's current leader. but since 1984 when he led a failed coup, he has mostly been in exile. at the moment, a grand house in paris, perhaps dreaming of a return to power. is not surprising he is pessimistic about the chances of the son of th

a third has resigned. the point is that the top brass in secret service wants to show the world and barack obama that they're taking decisive action. >> some breaking news, india is reporting to a fired a long- range missile capable of reaching as far as china and europe. the launch is believed to of taken place in an eastern state. the united states will express concern over the insincerity of the syrian authorities. regarding the ceasefire agreement. activist video showed government snipers firing into crowds in damascus suburb. leaders denied they have come under fire. >> of the u.n. and syria have not a vehicle for peace. the advance party of observers makes its way to the crowd, gunfire erupts. these are amateur videos we cannot verify, they tell a story all too familiar in syria. the observers now in the fourth day of their mission, they're optimistic they can enforce the peace plan once -- the peace plan. >> i think we will achieve our mandate. there are a lot of expectations that are beyond a team

but he has not.nd that gender gap is real. it is real with suburban women who will turn out and vote. you have questions about whether or not the turnout will be as enthusiastic as it might be in other years since we have a republican nominee who does not get much excitement. the people who the president is ahead with, they may not be as enthusiastic as they were four years ago. but i don't think they'll change their minds. >> jonathan, romney will have help with conservative interest groups. american cross roads and cross roads gps reporting they've raised $49 million in the first quarter of the year. both have accepted multimillion-dollar contributions and those checks are only going to get bigger, i suspect, aren't they? >> right. they will get bigger. but it is not so much because of deep abiding love for mitt romney. it has everything to do with a deep and abiding anger and in some cases, hatred of president obama. they are raising money has not over fist to oust him from the white house. whethe

the country has 15 reactors in operation and is building 26 more. still the nuclear accident in japan last year caused people in china to worry about safety. many are speaking out. nhk world's makoto oda has more. >> reporter: it doesn't look like much, but the message is clear. this sign says the government can't prevent all accidents. workers here in southeastern china are breaking ground for a plant that's due to have four reactors. officials are trying to reassure the public of safety. residents of a nearby town are not convinced. >> translator: if the plant blows up it will affect us. the government should be realistic and talk with us. >> translator: if the plant has an accident, like the one in fukushima it will contaminate the river. so it will also contaminate the big cities down stream. >> reporter: everyone in town depends on the river for water. most for farming. they risk their livelihood if the water got contaminated. even scientists for developed nuclear weapons is against the plant. he wrote the government after the next japan with a

[inaudible] as has been said, the sporadic has been in the making for the last 20 years -- this project has been in the making for the last 20 years. it was a collaboration between iraq and park and the arboretum society -- rec and park and the arboretum society. in 2008, we were hired to begin the schematics and develop the drawings for the project. it is currently being reviewed -- >> could you introduce yourself for the record? >> my name is laura hartigman. the purpose of this building, as has been said, is to replace the existing near street. it is a working building for the city. it is the base of operations for the plant collections and decoration of the collection that the society does. it primarily supports the arboretum, which is an outdoor classroom for the whole city. the secondary benefits is the educational potential, both as a building and as a base of operations for other educational activities. it also is intended to be environmental responsible building, as green as possible. you can probably gather that it has many functions and many people see it as benefiting their

every player that has won this year on the p.g.a. tour has finished top 10 in putting. he finished fourth last week. >> rose: diaz was involved in this, too. >> yes, he was. >> rose: what did he do? >> he was my ghost writer, and he's a brilliant, brilliant writer. >> rose: he understands golf and can write well. >> yeah, he's written for many, many years. >> rose: what has been the efilization? because he knows this and he's talked about here at this table and you know this, of tiger's swing? because you've got some golfers say, why did he ever change it? now, it seems to me that tiger is inevitably going to change it. that's the nature of him, he's constantly seek perfection. >> correct. >> rose: he will be messing with his swing until the day heidize. >> i think that's the whole really crux of it, to be honest with you. i also think that that's something that's positive for him. people say why would you change? but he's always done well. he's always changed and gotten better. he's always changed and improved his winning percentage. and it's the times when he's changi

iran has insisted it has the right to enrich for a peaceful nuclear program. now, there's a way around the deadlock. washington has signalled that it will ask iran to stop enriching uranium to 20% or more, the level from which fuel can easily be converted for military purposes. iran has indicated that it might be willing to accept a limit and would only enrich up to 3.5, or 5%. iran can claim it's right to enrichment, but it is very hard to weaponize from that level. there are the sticking points, but iran almost accepted a deal in 2009, and it proposed one in 2010. statements from officials in both sides suggest they might embrace elements of those proposals. the crucial point on which iran must make deep concessions is comprehensive inspections. the 2011 international atomic energy agency reports lays out a series of indicators that iran might be pursuing a weapons program. the great powers should use that as a checklist of activities that iran would commit to refraining from and insist that iran allow the iaea unfettered access to its sites until the agency

>> it has, geeta. it's been felt along the east coast of india in the south and calcutta on the east. people there are saying they felt tremors. in calcutta, people ran out on to the streets because they felt the tremors. it's mild tremors compared to what we're hearing from indonesia, but tremors nonetheless. we also have that warning that you talked about issued by the authorities here, a tsunami alert warning, talking about the possibility of six-meter high waves hitting the costa long the entire eastern sea land. also the andaman islands, which are further off the coast on the bay, areas which were devastated during the 2004 tsunami. that's something that will be fresh in people's minds. >> absolutely. so many people lost their lives in the region itself. we still don't know, of course, whether we will see anything substantial as yet. these are warnings. we should stress to people it is that. there's still lots and lots for people? >> well, invariably, in india, there are always going to be vulnera

his son has denied he has ever driven a ferrari. the scandal is brewing deeply uncomfortable for this -- the scandal is proving deeply uncomfortable for the communist party. it has shown a spotlight on the vast riches being enjoyed by these party -- by the communist party. the communist party does not want these things aired today a-- aired. working with arms like aston martin and the london taxi company, -- firms like aston martin and the london taxi company is what neil heywood was offering before his death. >> the way he handled his business with us was immaculate and very professional. he went about his business in a thoroughly professional, but very english way. >> claims that neil heywood may have been as i have been officially dismissed -- been a spy have been officially dismissed. mr. heywood had never been employed by the british government in any capacity. with every passing day, china's communist leaders are entangled deeper in the claims of corruption, spying, and infighting. damian grammaticas, abc news, beijing. -- bbc

it has all the themes. it has the structure. you know there is something irresistable about it because it's too perfect. >> give us an example wa, dow mean what theme. >> you know, it's about the oldest theme of all, which is man versus nature. that's one, right hubris, the subject soph many greek tragedies. they say they are going to build a ship that can't sink, of course it sinks. it's about class. it's a perfect parnohadiningratable about class at the end of the 19th century. if you were a plan in first class you had a better chance of surviving than in you were a small child in third class it seems to be about technology and overconfidence in technology, which is something we're very interested in still, obviously. and the limits of technology. so all of these things seem to be sort of over determined. you know, in one story, you get class, you get overweaning arrogance, you get technological overconfidence and it all comes together and you future in the most beautiful, biggest ship ever built and it sinks on a piece of ice

has not played out that way.f you look at the statistics in the country, unemployment is at a record high and still rising. energy is twice as expensive as next door in germany. this vote is as much a referendum on his character and style as it is on his record. a lot of people i have spoken to up and down the country in the last year or so have said he cannot be -- it cannot be any worse under a socialist candidate. the fear he has been trying to play on, warning that the socialist presidency might lead to run on the market, has not really played on the street because people do not think it can get any worse. >> christian frazier in paris, thank you very much indeed. now to pakistan, where passengers at -- passenger jet has crashed. the airliner, which had taken offrom karachi, came down in a residential area just minutes before it was meant to land at the islamabad international airport. >> at karachi airport, an agonizing wait. relatives desperate to know if their loved ones were on the passenger list. and if

she has had 12. starting with winston churchill, who was born in the 19th century and served in our great great-grandmother's army, all the way up to david cameron, her 12th prime minister, who was born three years after her youngest son. >> let me just interject this question -- what is the difference between the responsibilities of the queen and the responsibilities of the prime minister? >> blast -- the power and the juror -- glory are separate. the prime minister is the head of his government and he is responsible for all the government's decisions. but when the prime minister comes to visit the queen once a week in a private audience room -- nobody there, nobody taking notes, completely confidential -- eat, and in one case, she, margaret thatcher, feels free to ask her advice. her remit is to be consulted, to encourage, and to warn. not to specifically give the device -- which is very interesting. what she does is she asks really good questions, and she may prompt -- i have written a lot in the

>> it has been very controversial and has implications. other states have introduced their own laws. it is very controversial. the critics say it amounts to racial profiling. that is not the government's case. they say it is a legal basis, only the federal government has the right to set immigration policy, and this is complicating the government's policy, including situations with foreign countries. >> did you get a sense of which way the justices are leaning? >> there was a suggestion that they were sympathetic to the arizona case. they were telling donald, the solicitor general that this is not setting well. the chief justice says they do not want to know who is here illegally or not. >> the irony is that we have just had a report showing that the flow of illegal immigrants and to states like arizona from places like mexico, it has declined dramatically in recent years. >> supporters say that this tough enforcement actually works. others say it does not and that it is due to the weak economy and the port labor market. >> a hot political

he has governing experience. he has a successful business career behind him. he can make the case that he is not of washington. there are plenty of benefits he has got to bring to the table. >> i get the sense that in the white house, there is a big sigh of relief. they have wrecked and the have a very good shot -- they reckon they have a very good shot of winning in november. the economy is not rock-solid yet, and a republican candidate has a 50/50 chance of winning the election. >> i think that is very much the case. the white house maybe a little over, but at the moment. they see all these things trending in their direction, but not only has the dow down the last five days in a row, but the unemployment numbers were not as good last month as they might have been, as they have been over the past three months. the fine edge of situations are not resolved in a number of the eurozone countries that are teetering on the brink like greece, and something else could happen somewhere around the world that could plunge this thing back into a tossup if not a race that

san francisco has special meaning for us. i have to tell you, i was at the mayor's inauguration and he said he would never stop using the words job and job creation. that is what this is about today. we have given $431,000 to the revolving loan fund at below market rate. for 160 years, we have helped businesses thrive, through the gold rush days, through the technology boom, and now through the economic recovery, especially here in the bay area. we know when we revitalizes small businesses, we create jobs. and that is what we need here. that is what this partnership is all about. if we do not have successful communities, we know we cannot be a successful corporation. it is with great pleasure that wells fargo partners with the city. we are also good partners with working solutions, have done many things with them. we are so happy they are involved in this partnership. we, at wells fargo dedicated to partner with the city of san francisco to make this once again the thriving community that it has always been. again, thank you

it has been great. it will be accomplished without a commissioner -- they sat next to me a few years. getting the number of cases down from 77 to eight was an amazing thing. that was the headline. get a table and get that down, the work and the leadership. what people don't understand, one of the commissions that get involved in personal matters, we do officer discipline. the balance is a big part of being in those deliberations. his past life as working in the u.s. attorney's office has served decommission well. he is fair, and him being also the son of a police officer brings a perspective to the commission that is sorely needed. you have to have balance, and he has been great. i have been his vice-president, he has been my vice president. i am looking forward to working with him the rest of my term. supervisor kim: thank you. >> i'm commissioner dejesus, i do appreciate the questions that you asked, they are informative, even for me. i knew him when he was a public defender, it seems we were always o

the debt crisis has been long in making, the failure to regulate our banks has been long in making, the government overspending has been long in making. this is a tough and difficult situation that the economy is in, but the one thing that we must not do is abandon the public spending and deficit reduction plans, because the solution to a debt crisis cannot be more debt. we must not put at risk the low interest rates that are absolutely essential to our recovery -- that would be absolute folly. that is why no business organization and no international economic organization suggests we follow that course. >> it is all bluster, the prime minister's plan has failed. that is the reality. they were the people who said that britain was a safe haven -- the chancellor even said it on monday -- and we are back in recession. it was the prime minister who said that we were "out of the danger zone" -- and this is what has happened. as even his own back benchers are saying, the complacent, "arrogant posh boys" just don't get it. let us turn from the economic disaster of this government to the politi

the law has bad consequences. let me play a clip of an individual and it will tell you exactly what i'm talking about. this was taken just a few days after the bill passed both houses and right before the governor signed it. would you play the clip, please? >> divided our community. >> good evening, arizona. i'm patti kirkpatrick. the controversial illegal immigration bill isn't even law yet, but one valley couple says that didn't matter. the man claims he was targeted for his race and forced to provide his birth certificate. here's kirsten joyce with the story. >> reporter: good evening. the husband is a commercial truck driver, pulled over, as he says, at the 202 at a check stop. he was asked to show documents, he handed over his commercial vehicle's driver's license and provided a social security number. but apparently, according to him that wasn't enough. >> then he came and said, i need your birth certificate, and then i said, i said it's at my house. >> reporter: that's when officers handcuffed him, placing

relationships across the spectrum and it has an economy that has been strong and it has influence within the islamic community across-the-board. so thank you for coming. >> thank you. . >> rose: the future of the west has become one of the key debates of this century, francis fukuyama made it famous in 1989 when he wrote his book the end of history, the sa turned book chronicles the victory of western liberal democracy over all other forms of political thought, more than 20 years later with china rising and a european financial crisis, many question whether the world order has begun to shift, these ideas and others are explored in this year's commemorative issue of foreign affairs magazine, joining me now is francis fukuyama he is an author and fellow at stanford university, also with me is gideon rose, he is the editor of foreign affairs magazine. i am pleased to have both of them sit here and talk about these big ideas which we hope in part this television program and television series is about. you talk about making modern at this world, what we did in this issue is all this talk abou
