hopefully not in haiti. haiti is a very vulnerable, not just to hurricane, but to a heavy rainfall, if you will. i think that is something everyone is taking seriously, on the ground and those of us in u.s. southcom. we watched the weather very closely. we do what we can do in working with those on the ground, and also the international community. >> thank you. it is wonderful to have you here. we are interested in your thoughts on how we are doing. you have been gathering the latin american and caribbean community. your thoughts? >> i apologize for being late. i think the most remarkable piece of the story is the response from the international community to the disaster. we had at 1.430 nations respond -- we had -- one point 430 nations respond in one way or another. almost everyone in the caribbean or a black american community responded to haiti. it is truly amazing, the fact that haiti was isolated for so many years because of the way it became a nation. and also because it was simply the poorest country

right now haiti is glowing.nd i know working with a lot of private firms, the risk profile is too high. ere is a role for the u.s. government to play legislatively, policy, european union as well, and many other arms of government beyond just usaid that would throw their weight behind an effort in terms of governance, security -- but especially governance, and lay that ground work so haiti is a lot more attractive to fbi. if you could please explain what's being done beyond usaid. but the whole government approach to tackling this pernicious issues for haiti itself? >> thank you, eric. and you two? yes, whoever gets the microphone first. >> thank you. margaret daly with editors based resear. i'm also interested in the governance question. i'm a political scientist. we use the word governance as if it's the solution to all things. we have trouble defining what it means. i'm curious as to what more specically the european union is doing in terms of building sustainable government capacity. the article by prime min

now, six months have passed sints t since the earthquake in haiti. please tell me what it is like there today. >> well, unfortunately, the recovery activities have not occurred very much. port-au-prince, the capital of haiti, you can easily found that there are still buildings destroyed and only garbage on the streets. people started their business already. therefore, people are moving, transportation also moving and rush hour is there. it looks like the work has already started but the scenery is still the same as just after the quake. >> and what have you and the japanese red cross society been doing to help those people? >> since january, we started two things. medical things in port-au-prince. and we have been working with bigger subsidies at the two places for the victims. but the emergencies is almost over so we close down the clinic in port-au-prince and just recently we closed down another medical clinic and then we started. we have started more health services projects. according to our data obtained by the clinic, there is so many diseases,

those funds didn't come into the coffers of haiti. we don't have those funds. however, with our own means we're going to do what's in our capability to launch the reconstruction. >> suarez: for example, we have received $35 million in donations. people who give 42 cents, $10, $1,000 and others who give a million dollars in total $35 million. we have $20 million cubic meters of rubble in port-au-prince. removing them will cost $1.5 billion. in the first phase we estimate to remove... we'll be removing two million cubic meters. that is of course $120 million. you can see that the $35 million that we have seen cannot perform a job that would cost $120 million. when the clean-up phase will be over, then we'll have to start building... rebuilding the roads. we'll have some engineering work to do. we'll have to be building shelters. this will cost a lot of money. however we did launch the operation. we hope that the interim commission will take over as soon as possible. >> suarez: mr. president, you make the point that the government of hai

so, you know, it's like i'm from haiti, baby. this is the marathon.ven when i slow down, baby, i'm just pacing myself. for me, the thing about it is, the music will constantly change. and the pulse is always in the youth. like, you can't fight the youth. the pulse is in the youth. so you have producers and you have artists that believe that it's all about them. once you really think that it's all about you, your time is done. you don't know that yet, because you're still living in the hype, and once your time is finished, it's finished. so for me, my music and has i've done has never been about me. you know? i would say one of my reinventions to the young generation, that's like 16, 15, years old, when i'm like in nebraska and the kids at 16 comes up to me, if i was president, i'd get elected on friday, assassinated on saturday. what? how you learn that song from? that's the coolest song. i go on youtube and a generation is downloaded it, playing it on guitar. i was like, okay. has if i listened to a record company at a time. like listens, it has to b

a visit to haiti's general hospital reflects the tone of haiti six months after the quake, heavily damageded with many staff among the dead and injured, it swarms with volunteers, emergency cases, the broken, the dead and the dying in the frantic days after january 12. now it's a much calmer place. still pediatric patients today are being treated in tents outside in the tremendous heat , and much of the medical staff that stayed on the job for months will only next month get their retroactive checks for the last eight months. when the wiring is finished, children's ward will move to these temporary buildings, but the director, dr. alex laseg wants a new hospital. >> we want now to assemble sufficient funding to have (inaudible) a new building and new way to deliver the care to the people. >> suarez: after their many years of setbacks, people here continue to work very hard, endure all with a sturdy stoicism and a ready smile. but to get people out of camps that provide more security, water and food than their pre-earthquake homes you have to give them a reason to leave. >> if you remember th

keep in mind he did a big one in january around haiti. and that one raised $10 million. $1.8 million. the reason why i think it only raised less than $2 million was because this is not a natural disaster, this is manmade. from all the blogs i've read and all the comments, people are blaming bp and they say bp is one of the wealthiest companies in the world and they're the ones who should be footing the bill. >> we know new orleans is one of the country's great musical cities. coming from there to here, to new york, it is an incredible city. the musical talent coming out of there. the city itself got together to help itself out with another kind of concert. >> yes, this was spearheaded by lenny kravitz, now a resident of new orleans. lenny kravitz in the last three months has been so visible. he's as visible with this cause as harry connick was during katrina. he's done the larry king telethon, he's done this benefit concert that raised $350,000, was joined on stage by mos def, anita frankel, dr. john. he's been making the rounds globally, doing interviews, just trying to
