confirmed that it has to has to be a more united and has to have a common vision on how to end the crisisin syria but it seems now that it's not going to happen at least now because some of the opposition members boycotted this meeting in cairo calling this a conspiracy the free syrian army members and some so-called independent activist based here in syria have even find a document and they've been accusing the participants of this meeting of ignoring the question of buffer zones protected by the international community unquote in humanitarian corridors and air embargoed and the arming of a rebel fighter as it all sounds like she need never happened and like u.n. security council mind and on monday never happened it sounds really like the opposition is divided and while the reason one part ready to talk ready to discuss this interim government initiative there is another part that only wants to continue fighting and doesn't want any dialogue with anybody and also surprising to hear that just day after the u.n. has confirmed that both sides of the syrian conflict a recall the responsible

"european journal -- >> for now, the elderly lady lives in a temporary village. this red cross worker looks after the homeless. it may seem immoral for the banks to demand that the earthquake victims continue paying off their loans. however, it is perfectly legal, and it is making life even harder for these survivors. >> there are many cases like hers, pensioners on a small income will have to keep paying the mortgage and paying their loans and buy food. it is a really difficult situation. >> so far, not a single house has been rebuilt. this furniture dealer is trying to restock his shop. wit

the village has also build its own grid. every one of the 130 residents has invested 15 hundred years to become co-owners of the network. the region's mayer says there is plenty of interest in the project. residents pay about a quarter less for their power, and that price is guaranteed. >> it is appealing. people see that it is not just a symbolic, ego friendly project -- eco-friendly project. it is important that the people plugging in and getting their power see it makes a difference to their costs. >> but the wind is not always blowing, so to keep the power flowing, these bats have been set up next to a pig farm. bacteria to the pig manure into gas, which is used to run a generator. the system also eats local homes without the need for outside energy. >> before the new system was up and running, we spent 100,000 euros on heating oil a year. that is over now, so that 100,000 euros stays in the community. amytal will soon replace its coldest wind turbines, installed in the mid-1990's. the new units will produce even more en

he has since retired. he has been married twice. he has raised four children. he has lived an extraordinary life. i am grateful for having had him in my life as a guidepost. i do think it is the ultimate irony that he turned out to be a police officer. >> we have some other questions. very good questions. we do not have much time. i work at san quentin prison. they segregate inmates based on color and gangs. why do prisons not work on educating inmates on social relations, racial tolerance, and why don't they find a way so the different races can get to know each other? >> i would like to enter that. segregation has -- i would like to answer that. segregation has always been a problem in this country. i grew up in new orleans. we believe that education is the key. we all need to sit at the table. i do not believe in segregation for inmates. they need to tear that barrier down and put people together, no matter what. when we go inside the walls of san quentin, it is not just black inmates. it is hispanic, pacific islanders, white, native americans, it is everybo

because it has only two q. but that it goes on they contradict each other the first but are going to says that it's the final extension of thirty days and the second paragraph says that the mission can be extended provided certain conditions are being made and the united nations at the end of the day does need a mission in the ground because if that mission is removed then the situation in syria can get worse without any objective reporting that's tied to the u.n. and an exclusive interview with r.t. russia's ambassador to the u.n. that explained why the countries said no to the western backed resolution in the crucial vote on syria you can catch that interview in the next hour right here on this channel now professor lawrence davidson from west chester university and the u.s. says that if international if the international community really wants to stop violence in syria it has to put pressure on those sponsoring the rebels. this u.n. resolution was something of a red herring. because it wouldn't have made muc

the club has a rich history. many have left their mark, but none more than a player in 376 games during his career. he was an idol in hamburg, but he also remained modest. >> you cannot take it. whatever was in the newspapers or what people said, i always kept both my feet on the ground. >> in august 1963, the club played its first match in the newly formed bundesliga. at the end of the first season, hamburg was in sixth place. >> it was a great time. yes, the bundesliga has come a long way since then. the good news is hammer has been around since the beginning. >> in the late 1970's, the club had a brilliant run, becoming german champions three times. the hamburg club was more popular than bayern-munich. >> they won the cup, but never really managed to get things going with marketing, said you cannot really say that they profited from the title. >> last season, hamburg struggle to avoid relegation and finished 15th. in preparations -- preparations for the new season have not gone smoothly, either. member will ha

he has no place to go. his family has no place to go. he has so many supporters in the country that he has to take care of that i think there is no way out. i think the american government simply does not know where he is. the information that the americans and western allies have on the situation on the ground is not very good, and that is frightening. >> we have to leave it there. as always, thank you for coming in to talk with us. much of the diplomatic efforts in syria have been focused on moscow. russia says it will veto any resolution at the united nations. let's go to our moscow bureau where our correspondent is standing by for us. is there any chance that moscow will change its stance based on the fallout from this attack? >> after today's escalation, moscow seems to remain quite and faced -- and faced -- u nfazed. russia said it will not back any serious resolution against assad because they say it would be supporting the rebels. if it is a revolution, they say the united nations must stay out of it. we have to keep in mind that

you ron looking back at this history knows that it has no choice it either goes down or it has to defend itself and i think it will if it's ready to defend itself it has the means and the capability of the politics of it all in biogas have been used to devastate the economy and for foreign powers to basically take over the country the dissidents civilian nuclear program it's simply a means to an end what washington has in mind is to remove the regime iraq has tried to create with washington with the p five n one that's one it has even said that he would give up its medical isotopes its twenty percent enriched uranium if iran can be supplied with isotopes for its medical research but the will powers not want it to come misha conclusion reached an agreement so iran is even more convinced that this is just. an excuse for regime change. more of that story available whenever you want it on our website here's some of what else is waiting for their bikes behind lars. and maids at a brazilian prison get the chance to shave time off their sentences by generating electricity through pedal power gi

it has in columbia in that there are 31 states, each one has their own police force and there are localow them. so this very fragmented system, it is very difficult to control from mexico city. the new president proposed this new sort of paramilitary police force, using elements of the marines, the may industry and army and the federal police to form like a strike force to go into the hard hit rural areas. but i think it doesn't really quite solve the foundational problem that you fundamentally when a crime is committed, the police respond and it looks like an american crime scene with crime tape and people are collecting bullets and -- but there is really nothing beyond that. you don't hear about a trial, you hear about arrests but you never hear whatever happens to those cases, people languish in jail, from is no sort of faith or confidence that there is any accountability so you can commit a crime and more or less get away with it. >> in the end i think i read some survey everybody agrees corruption is the problem? >> yes. organized crime has resources in mexico that absolutely gar t

the finale of the things he has talked about. the evidence of his own words, his own doings of racially profiling in our community. to go along with that, it is the damage he has done, the community raids that he is put upon our community with mass deputies coming out to traditionally latino neighborhoods, detaining and stopping anyone that may look undocumented. >> explain who brought the suit, carlos garcia. >> it was brought forth by the aclu. eventually it was turned into a class-action lawsuit. it is basically all latinos in maricopa county vs. sheriff joe arpaio, anyone who looks like us, is challenging, bringing the suit for the same arpaio is racially profiling. >> what does this mean for his reign as sheriff in america accounted? this is separate from a lawsuit being brought about by the justice department against sheriff arpaio four >> yes, the justice to permit is just decided to go into a lawsuit for the same charges for racially profiling. i just think it needs more evidence of the things we have known for the last f

. >> the time for change has come! chris: leap of faith, four years ago, barack obama was the breakthrough candidate. mitt romney's mormon religion could be a threshold issue this time, but does it matter? of the 20% who resist romney over religion, how many will actually vote for barack obama? a newly discovered interview with jack kennedy about his religion shows him predicting the one day election of a mormon. and finally, victims, it's the anniversary of the lowest number in stock market history. it swept hoover out. what are the chanceses of another rip tide like that. hi, i'm chris matthews. welcome to the show. with us today, john harris, katty kay, s.e. cupp and joe klein. first up, the election will turn on the economy, of course, more on that later in the show. but also in play is how voters size up their comfort level with romney and obama. enough were decided to be comfortable with a president barack obama. they will face that decision again this november. on the same comfort scale, if you will, they size u

military intervention into syria china has always has also expressed a similar position russia instead has also drafted its own reza new resolution renewing the u.n. mission in syria for another three months if this mission is not renewed that means that the u.n. security council the international community loses any verifiable reporting and verification that is taking place in syria there are three hundred unarmed u.n. officials in syria while they suspended activities in june there is still a presence there that is able to assess the situation on the ground and report back to the united nations if you lose that mission in syria there would be essentially no kind of objective force to report back to the international community and that could only make the syrian crisis worse. while some are trying to find a solution to the syrians tell me all the others are only adding fuel to the fire as we reported later the internet is now full of video training guides linked to the syrian army showing how to kill we investigate who would be interested in these leaflets lessons. and the b.b.c. is s

you have to have somebody who has senior clearance, you have to have somebody that is -- has access to covert action and access to the white house situation room just in the information that was leaked in one particular episode. boy, you don't get too far away from the white house when that happens and that frustration is listen, we don't think this is moving along quickly enough and you're not taking it serious enough. you need to come up tomorrow, mr. president, and say we're going to are provide all the information by this week and give you full access without negotiations to everybody you may or may not need to talk about in the white house staff. >> bret: a quick answer, about what's happening in syria. it's a dangerous situation we follow by the day. what's your take? >> very dangerous situation. you have some 300, little less, groups to claimed opposition status to the government. very large stockpiles of biological weapons. the regime is moving some of those by their own admission. huge problems, 25% of those groups have at least some extremist ties. it's dicey. we're not sure

it has a master plan that it has to get by. the only way it can get by the master plan is to fake or falsify what the master plan is. it participates in that falsification of the park master plan, it is a fraudulent and corrupt report. if you approve this, they are participating in the corruption. on page 100, it says according to the master plan, the different areas will be lighted to different levels based on safety considerations. that sounds like a can be anywhere in the park for what we want to use it for. if you look on page 9 of the master plan, different areas of the park will be lighted to different levels based on safety considerations. here is the second sentence. lighting is for safety purposes and is not intended to increase night use. that is the whole point of this project, to increase night use. the project is a complete violation of the master plan. it never mentions it. hot for hundred pages and never mentioned in. and on the next sentence, it says the layout listed in the master plan as an night use area. wha

it has 34 cars and has soaring views of london as it crosses the thames. the cable car system cannot carry many people, but it is a hit with people like donald. >> we're in london for a few days. we're thinking of interesting things to do. we took the opportunity today. we hoped we would get a view of the olympic stadium. >> but they will first have to walk through a mall owned by australia's per. security here is even tighter after a false alarm. but they are happy to welcome people to their city. >> is bringing some many people together. london has always been a cosmopolitan, multicultural city. this is really even better. >> there is even more excitement. as you can see, there is excitement here already. >> we look forward to seeing you all here. >> fans are stuck on the olympic merchandise of every sort. but this is as busy as the pre- christmas rush. the new mall also has a panoramic window overlooking the olympics. >> well, but the alembics have not officially been opened yet, -- the olympics have not officially been opened yet, the first matches hav

>> no comment. >> ha, ha, ha, ha. >> as your advisor, i would say yes. >> thank you, doris. my attorney in boston. >> i think you may want to go back to the well? >> but. >> nancy gibbs and mike duffy our friend at time magazine have a new book coming on the club, the president's club about the former presidents, and it is quite true when you have the great good fortune to talk to presidents, how clear it is, tier of the club and who is in the one term men's grill. the other guy can go all the way to the dining room. >> and president carter and president bush, can only eat sandwiches. >> but i think, of course, distance changes things, george w. bush explicitly counts on that, someone who reads a lot of history, i just read four books last year on jeash washington's presidency, think people will change their view, michael taught this a long time ago, your rule is 25 years, about? to be able to really appreciate -- >> rose: have we changed our idea of our opinion of john kennedy in 25 years later. >> there have been all sorts of oscillations. >> in the sixties was a hero and

she has left her impact on that space, on this community, and she has fought tirelessly for those that did not have a voice and needed a voice. i cannot think of a better person and more fitting location then to name middle drive nancy pelosi drive. it buffet's the national aids memorial grove and the city and county should be so honored that she stood up, wrote the legislation in this city has one of 43-memorials. i strongly support this. >> thank you. >> [reading names] >> good afternoon, commissioners. i speak on behalf of the san francisco interface council and myself in support of the resolution before you. that resolution details the achievements of san francisco by nancy pelosi in her 25 years in the house of representatives. in addition to those monumental achievements, the san francisco office is a model of service to constituents. she is truly are rep. the resolution also does not say what she has done over the years in bringing people of different faiths back together. this helps organizations like mine to find consensus among the multiple states on issues of common concern.

i really believe that. >> each side has a challenge and has a problem.blem is that he is not the candidate of 2008 that won the support of the american people. he is a cheap chicago pol taking attacks that even the washington post and other news organizations are saying are misleading, unfair and untrue. the problem for romney is he can't get stuck in the gutter with obama. >> that's a trap. >> there is a way out of the trap. that's to refute and flip. it is to say this is unfair, untrue, third party sources say this is wrong. the president is untrue, unfair, misleading. why is he doing this? his policies have failed us on getting the economy going and bringing down unemployment and reducing the deficit, so forth. >> let's get to a broader question here. romney is held back out of his campaign coffer spending. some money he can't spend until the general election, so on. what we really haven't seen from the romney campaign is an introduction of him -- a reintroduction to voters perhaps not paying attention to the republican primary season. in the meantime

but first israel's prime minister benjamin netanyahu has blamed has been after the terrorist attack on a bus carrying jewish tourists in bulgaria in which seven people died to give his already accused iran of being behind the attack but have since extended its blame list meanwhile media reports identified the suicide bomber as an algerian swedish jihadist who spent two years in detention in guantanamo is a correspondent with more now from israel. but no minutes on yahoo says that the fault because of this attack that happened on wednesday in the bulgarian city of burgas is clearly on the shoulders of hizbollah netanyahu says that his bill that acts as the long term of iran in the region and while this is no secret certainly everybody here does know that hizbullah is a proxy for iran the fact that in a time yahoo is not naming his below is only going to through the stroke tensions in the region israeli prime minister also went on to say that it was no ned had attacked or been behind attacks on israelis in countries like thailand georgio greece and cyprus in the past not israel has tried

an injured in the case also rumors that his wife has fled here to moscow now the foreign ministry has commented on this general idea of rumors and they say that and this is quoting from the foreign ministry the world is usually awash with rumors these rumors tend to gain some information ground and spread very fast i would not like to comment on any rumors today i think that it is a very dishonest information trapped be careful not to fall into it and that's the word coming from the russian foreign ministry so obviously they're looking at the situation trying to see what's true what's not right now they're just saying pretty much rumors at this point. sean thomas reporting there now of the u.n. observer mission to syria expires later on friday with the security council still split on whether to extend it to new draft resolutions are up for a vote after russia and china both vetoed a western backed proposal which they called simply unacceptable parties marina portnoy has details from new york. russia has from the get go that he would not support any resolutions on syria that would incl

how much has gone to u.s.ontractors doing work as opposed to meeting the dire needs of the population. tavis: you suggested we have put more money into afghanistan than they were able to absorb. why do we keep putting money in? >> that is a good question. we are cutting back. there was a view that if you put more money into the place, you could get more results more quickly. i think that was a fallacy. there is a limit to what the country can absorb. beyond that, it runs off. it runs off as corruption or waste. it took too long to get that. you have a new team that thought it could do differently. it wound up being too generous. tavis: if mr. obama is limited to one term. if he is limited to one term, what is his legacy going to be? we know what the bush legacy is. we see the beginning been written. what is the obama: to be? >> i think -- what is the obama legacy going to be? >> i think is going to be complicated. obama probably understood afghanistan well. he did not follow his instincts. he did not stand up

i'm wondering if the time of the security council has passed. >> yes, it has passed, but it will come again, no doubt. the russians and the chinese are in an increasingly untenable position and they continue to veto which manifest in a very clear way their commitment to a regime whose time is rapidly passing. they will have to split from bashar al-assad sooner rather than later and work with other members of the international community to try to work on an orderly transition, if such a thing as possible anymore, to a post-assad regime. in the meantime, the united states and united kingdom will be working with the opposition to try to unite them and support them as they take their fight to damascus and to try to find ways, and this is the most difficult part, to convince the allied and christian communities that there is a secure future for them. >> what are the main concerns about what is going to be like? what are the western powers thinking about? >> they have to be worried about the worst-case scenario, which is with their backs to the wall, the syrian regime, the assad regime and

has been has been offering for this week to come to london and question him here and they've never done that so this is an ongoing thing i guess maybe what his legal team and indeed the ecuadorian felt could be different this time is that the invitation isn't coming from just us on himself it's coming from a novice state so he's got another state operating on his behalf so it's almost like it's on equal terms it really begs the question does the swedish prosecutor really want to get to the bottom of this case it certainly looks as if she doesn't and if not then of course. meanwhile diplomats have been working on julian assange as his behalf and seeking assurances from the u.k. sweden and the us that he will be extradited to america if he does go to sweden they've received no response on that they've also been trying to get the u.s. to either confirm or deny that legal proceedings are a grand jury having been been subpoenaed in the u.s. again no response from america. has been holed up now in the in the ecuadorian embassy here in london for weeks he fled citing human rights violations to

the uprising in behind him has shown. a clear the standard the us foreign policy toward the country is that going through the arab spring or the democracy movement while they support. some countries that. like syria. in the first libya because they don't you know says does not like. the best way to change this because of the genie just use the democracy here however people in bahrain the people saudi arabia and people in yemen are calling basically for the same rights self-determination for the free and fair elections but we don't see the same kind of forceful clear foreign policy toward those these especially. so european because those countries are those governments are considered saw somehow democracy now is used as a weapon against the countries that we don't like however the big problem bluejeans that is that of the united states who are supporting the government that is oppressing the. some other international news in brief for you this hour fierce fighting in the iraqi troops tense in the country's north province t

obama has not. >> bob: he has. point is romney what we didn't report is romney gets in rundraiser and jerusalem said that israelis and jews do better because of their culture and the palestinians economically do not. i thought was unbelievably outrageous thing to say. since they blo kate the palestinians. they are good businessmen when they are free to go. the west bank grown at biggest rate of gdp. >> dana: let greg get in here. he has a -- >> greg: he was speaking the truth. he was speaking in numbers of the gdp, double that of the -- >> bob: a country you block up their borders and -- >> greg: why are palestinians wanting to work in israel? because it's better there. good to see them get the talking point from msnbc. if you find something wrong, call them a racist. that's what they did. >> dana: former speaker pelosi comments didn't get more attention. i guess they expect her to say things that are offensive. basically she said that american jews really are saying they want to support romney not because of his s

blatter has rejected calls to step down over the affair, but he has announced a new independent ethics court with its own prosecutor and the power to reopen old cases. >> with this decision today, fifa has given up some of its power, quite clearly. it means the conduct of officials will no longer be an issue to be investigated by the fifa president or executive committee. it will be investigated by an independent body. >> fifa hopes the charges will finally put an end to the allegations swirling around the organization, and it's defined president lives to fight another day. >> will on this, we are joined by our sports correspondent. how big of a problem is corruption in sports? >> seemingly pretty big. this is the latest chapter in ongoing rumbling scandals involving the collapse of the isl. what is terrible this time is that it just confirms that president both past and present at fifa have known about or were involved in bribery. it is terrible. it shows what kind of culture reigns, and we are trying to encourage individual federations of around the world to spread better government.

has to say about it. r t is the state run english speaking russian channel it's kind of like algis you. russia today has an extremely confrontational stance when it comes to us. me when i was like years old she told the truth. yesterday. i'm very. pleased. at first very much as burns your eyes right right i mean it's like a derivative of actual paper it's a food product essentially. much stronger than anything you'd be buying. thousands of times stronger than anything. else that's a real headline. the problem with the mainstream media today is that they're completely disconnected from the viewers from what actually matters to those so that's why young people just don't watch t.v. if they want news they go online and we're trying to take. those stories that people actually care about and transfer them back to t.v. . a lot of american power continues. might actually be time revolution. and it turns out that a particular drink of starbucks are the surprising him really as. well as the wars wind down over sea

i think that has been your personal talent that has allowed that to happen. i appreciate that. we have made great progress. this has been a sort of continual evolution. i think that we have -- the sport has always said to our new superintendent -- this board has always said to our new superintendent, that we wanted to move forward. we did not want a do over and that is hard to do. it is hard to make sure mark, be clear what you're doing and what your leadership brings to this kind of an effort without saying everything was bad before i got here. i think that all the boards and have served on which is -- i have served on which is a lot, tried to have agreement about this and it has been a challenge for us over time. we really mean that and follow it through ourselves. i think that has been -- that is our greatest strength. it will continue to be and i thank you for adding to that and really nurturing that foundational philosophy. really the most important thing you have done is to help us clearly articulate to people how much we mean it when we say this is about equity for us. i

>> he will, and he has. i mean he said, you know, he has given us the 59-point plan and go look at it on the web site and continue to talk about that, but he wants to again keep the focus on the president and his performance on the economy, and he told me, i mean, flat out told me if i keep talking about the economy, i am going to win. >> schieffer: john? >> well, you have to remember where it starred was out of this hiccup in the romney campaign on healthcare about 48 hours romney was out of position and ultimately he had to continue defendant's exhibit one of his own senior aides whether this is the tact. i what i heard in the romney campaign they know some things have not gone well but they are a tight-knit group and not going to change much. they are going to fix some of the communication problems and get more specific, they think it is a question of typing, you do it at the right time, but they do recognize that basically there is something more they have to give people other than just saying barack oba

i gather america has accused rwanda of supporting them. >> pretty much everyone has accused rwanda of supporting them. the united nations has come out with reports they presented to the security council. human rights watch has also presented their own report. these allegations are strenuously denied both by the movement here, by the rebels, and by rwanda itself. some of the commanders i've been speaking to from the u.n. peacekeeping force said what they saw was a very sophisticated equipment and quite sophisticated tactics. while the offices were not making direct links with rwanda, but they said basically, i draw your own conclusions. you've got to ask, where is all that support and equipment coming from. >> thank you very much. thank you. at least 80 people have been killed in a series of attacks across iraq. many of the victims were caught up in a car bombing to the south of baghdad. there were also blasts in the capital. rami ruhayem has been following the developments. >> they seem to be targeting primarily security forces, army, as well as police checkpoints, a convoy and even s

are silly or has all the details for us. the moody's is downgraded seventeen german banks and this is just a week after the country's a credit rating was down downgraded from stable outlook to a negative outlook there so it it was a very surprising that this on the banks had followed mainly because many of those of those banks that have been downgraded hold government back to debts and therefore if the country's credit rating is not stable it just goes to show and followed that the banks themselves are not stable as well they've been struggling since two thousand and eight and also since the onset of the eurozone crisis now aside from these downgrades the outlook in german business is not very good across all sectors business confidence has gone down in june certainly not bad news for the country that's considered the main creditor in all of the euro zone nations of funding a lot of the bailouts of it gone into the other countries one of the main a destabilizing factor in the euro zone is actually spain its current situation

has been falling about this for. it's been a diplomatic roller coaster from the start it's been going through ups and downs and even before this conference in geneva. russia's foreign minister said met with hillary clinton in st petersburg after that meeting he said she changed her position but then she wasn't really at the media conference following that meeting . meeting to confirm that so it wasn't really clear then the conference in geneva much longer than initially expected nobody really nobody really knew what's going to what was going to come out of it in the end they did end up signing this document sixteen months so a very long time and since the beginning russia has been saying this is an internal matter for syria and no outsiders could order you know solution to the situation there and. it's a mystery why it took so long for the international community to agree because now it's reflected in this final document it took all these vetoes and discussions it's just unclear really why it took these sixteen month

there has to be a deterrent in place. to deter criminal behavior and david cameron was very quick to say that when the the looters were out there stealing four pound bottles of soda that they should be sent to jail even though they were ten or twelve years old but when confronted with the unequivocal evidence that bob diamond and his crew of barclays have been stealing millions and colluding with the bank of england to rig interest rates on the library front he don't sure whether this requires a response or not and that's why you society over there in britain is collapsing in front of his own just why the economy can't grow is because there is this asymmetrical approach to law and justice where if you're rich and you're a crony of cameron there's one set of laws if you're somebody else then oh that's a totally separate sort of law. watch the cars a report just over twenty minutes right here on our well with the banking scandal raging at home david cameron is looking to safeguard the u.k. economy from foreign dangers. comi

he has been a great input in my career. i went through a lot of hard times and he pretty much was always there. that is why i have to dedicate my diploma to him. he made it possible, he made my life so much simpler. and for the city i think that it gives the opportunities to students who have talent and are 20 -- hungry for opportunities, to go out in the world and have the courage to do what we want to do. to be successful in life, be successful in everything we aspire. that is what you have -- what i have to say. thank you. >> in closing, we have something we wanted to present to you. >> on behalf of the wall street wizards, i would like to present you with this t-shirt. [applause] [applause] president chiu: thank you to the wall street wizards. our final presentation today will be by our district 9 colleague, supervisor campos. supervisor campos: i will try to keep this brief. it is an impressive group of people to follow. i think it is appropriate we're making these accommodations on our last meeting before the recess o

the worst of this dark vision has not yet come to pass only because the senate has either voted down or refused to act on the worst impulses of the house but let's be clear. votes counted. they are how we know what really matters to the people we elected. they are how we hold our officials accountable to the public. after all the rhetoric and political cheap shots have died down, votes are all we have got. in this case more than 200 of them. forty-two years ago when we pause as a nation to mark the first earth day our environment faced grave and gathering threats. we had seen oil washing ashore in santa barbara. los angeles was the smog capital of the world. the waterways of our heartland where so desecrated and polluted that the cairo the river literally caught fire -- --cu --cuyahoga river caught fire. some would say our job is done. it isn't. not with a copper mine in alaska is threatening one of the greatest seminaries of the world. we have more work to do. not win a renegade oil well can put at risk the fertile waters of the gulf of mexico. we have got more work to do. not when

been announced by the united states and others from the outset of the conflict. >> rose: has this, has syria caused the u.s. russian relationship to be damaged at all? >> i think in a way, yes. i think in a way, yes, because i think the united states unnecessarily put too much blame on russia or tried to shift blame on russia for what is going on there. i think that could have been avoided. >> rose: how could they have avoided that? >> well, for instance, i don't think it is always necessary to blame the security council when they know that russia is going to veto it. i know that -- >> rose: and the purpose might be simply to embarrass russia? >> not only that, but i think the idea is that if a resolution is blocked in the security council, you have some motivation, some explanation for, from the outset of the security council, but in that case, the relations with russia are going, in a way to stuff, dialogue of various international issues. i hope it can be corrected. first of all i hope that there is still a potential of cooperation, including in the security council out of the veto

romney has a different idea.invested in companies that have been called pioneers of outsourcing. i don't want a pioneer in outsourcing. i want some insourcing. i'm with to bring companies back. >> president, in his reelection campaign says the boston globe report suggests monromney may he lied to the u.s. securities and exchange commission about his final years at bain. and senate, senior romney advisor at gillespie said romney had retroactively retired from bain in 2002, but had effectively stepped down three years earlier. he defended romney's record on msnbc. >> private shareholders and ceo's should be free in our economy to make decisions. what we need to do is a policy, to make policies that make those decisions easier to say -- i am going to invest in u.s. and not move my jobs overseas. the obama policies are forcing jobs overseas. >> that was ed gillespie speaking on "meet the press." we go to washington to speak with chris rowland, washington bureau chief for the boston globe. welcome. talk about the sign
