port au prince haiti. all right so there's plenty that could be said about haiti so far we've only touched upon a few the key issues so to talk a little more about what we learn and a haiti and more issues that make finding a solution to the ongoing crisis so important i'm joined by my own producer for breaking a segment well rob lowe i thought he was gone for a good trip there and fun. so i just wanted to love i took a bunch of photos there that i wanted to play as as we're talking here what i noticed was really cute you know even as extreme as the conditions were all the kids you know they still dress up to go to school the ribbons there are really cute little girls there but we did go to the worst slum in port au prince. and it sounds cliche to say especially when you see conditions as bad as these but life does go on and i mean it was amazing how quickly once you i mean once we did leave the habitat for humanity camp and we got a chance to go and see the rest of the city we had these two guys that didn

if you're wondering where i've been the last few days my producer and i just got back from haiti where he went on a chartered plane with former u.s. president jimmy carter to help build houses for habitat for humanity now tomorrow i'm going to bring you all of our exclusive reporting from the country but first i want to talk about my personal experience with the former president of the united states now for such a distinguished man i was shocked at president carter's humility and humble nature unlike other former presidents who gallop fans around the world to persisting travel hot spots or have retired at their giant ranch mansions president carter and his organization spends a week every year building homes in the most impoverished countries around the world even the entourage of secret service following his every move didn't stop carter from getting his hands dirty i was on the field with him at ninety five degree heat with eighty percent humidity for eight hours a day for four days building homes in santo's haiti alongside his wife rosalynn carter and the rest of the six hundred hab

it is "so spoke the earth: the haiti i knew, the haiti i know, the haiti i want to know."rent women talk about this. it is a trilingual anthology in english, french, and creole. it's generational. we talk about the people who were surviving it. we talk about their friends and neighbors. there is an opportunity for people who don't know much about haiti to get to know katie through a variety of women writers wasted. >> host: is creole very different from french? >> guest: creel -- creole is a language of its own. it came from the french, spanish, english, all of these people came to haiti. and so creole is a very beautiful language. it is often maligned language, even within haiti. poems and stories and it's also an opportunity to celebrate language and celebrate creole. if you live here and grew up here is a haitian american or a haitian person, we wanted to present the anthology of what it is to have all of these voices together. >> host: bespeak all three? >> i do, yes. what is your story about? >> to grow growth and a haitian household, your parents are always talking a

the isar team remains in haiti for two more days. they don't find anymore survivors. >> as we left, it was like being torn apart. we wanted to do more, but we couldn't do more. >> one of the most difficult things was all the people that we didn't rescue. so i think about that a lot. >> the haitian government estimates the earthquake claimed more than 300,000 lives. for veradia, this rescue team from across the globe has made all the difference. she has her life. >> because it was to me incredible and impossible that all this would happen. >> i felt very connected to her. this is an experience that will follow me the rest of my life. >> it's a pleasure to see her. to be able to help my country. >> coming up, a tourist captures something extraordinary. >> then you hear this noise. like a click, click, click. >> when a centuries old sequoia crashes to the ground. when caught on camera: what on earth? >>> when a giant sequioa tree falls in the woods, not only is someone there to hear it, but the rare event is caught on camera. >> there w

haiti. as you know, a few years ago the haitian people suffered an earthquake and the initial problem was crush injuries. yes, infection and dysentery and water supply and all those things would follow fairly soon, but the initial catastrophe was crush injuries, trauma, and the hospitals were gone. so what did we do? the world responded as best it could. what we did, the naval maritime forces, we sent our balts group down there which was patroling the area, we sent the hospital ship comfort down. so you have the comfort on the east coast, you have the mercy on the west coast. the mercy is parked down in san diego. it just got back from its asian humanitarian assistance from guam, indonesia, vietnam, an amazing number of nations we're partnering with. those hospital ships with 1,000 beds, 12 operating rooms, they produce their own medical oxygen, they have ct scanners and they can do almost anything a hospital on the west coast can do and we can park them offshore as we did in haiti and in ha

degree heat with eighty percent humidity for eight hours a day for four days building homes in santo's haiti alongside his wife rosalynn carter and the rest of the six hundred habitat for humanity volunteers it was a great honor to be able to speak personally to one of my favorite former u.s. presidents at a video roundtable where he was dressed in simple work clothes a baseball hat and a red bandanna to wipe the sweat from his brow in the scorching heat for an eighty eight year old man president carter was not only incredibly sharp but he gave amazingly candid and straightforward responses to my questions knowing the fact that carter himself had personally tried to broker peace between israel and palestine even writing a book called peace not apartheid and given the fact that it had barely been a week since the cease fire i first asked him about the conflict. i've come all this way and i can't be sitting right in front of you without asking this question especially given current events i know that you've worked for decades on the israeli palestinian conflict what is your reaction to the mos

cuba germany could there were there when you take them particularly haiti and think you. of course i mean just even the eastern province of cuba. i mean these are being estimating one hundred million dollars and apparently one hundred thirty thousand homes were destroyed or brochure destroyed only in so. that's what for cause you brain damage just across the destruction perhaps even more than thirty two of them so far in haiti. fertilized embryos to meet that so far fifty billion dollars in the united states both of these people in haiti being so lately could well be a big star. with obama and romney is still running neck and neck critics say the close race will make it easier to rig the election some claim the some claim because america's voting system is flawed as it relies on equipment which can easily be tumbled with transparency and accountability that is as the reports. the u.s. a beacon of democracy and an example to be followed by the rest of the world one big source of pride is its fundamental concept of free and fair elections american elections are a disgrace i

>> [inaudible] my experience with the haiti response. in this casey i was working at the deputy principal committee level and working at the white house. but it was really the first opportunity for this administration to work with a very complex response, and then recognizing for us the supported commander was usaid that normally isn't in the emergency response business. so, it was an educational process of how to move forces and yet support usaid and the role of the country team and port au prince. so, it was very informative there. and to back up when we had the first no fooling hurricane that worked its way up the entire gulf coast, the principal committee calls that were generated during the haiti response were then turned around and then bringing all of the governors into a conference call with the president to make sure that all their needs were being met in the advance of a hurricane arrival. so, we really had all of government, from local all the way up to the white house, fully included in that response. but the haiti response w

and in haiti they spent the first 72 hours once they got on scene doing nothing but repairing crush injuries and restoring life. that's the capacity we have. i like to think in our partnership with the maritime services and the coast guard and our reserve forces, i like to think of us as america's or the world's 911 when something bad, either man-made or natural happens, some catastrophe happens in the world, often times the ambassador will pick up the phone and dial 911 and the navy marine corps team answers the phone. it is our those, it is our dna it is our ability to be there. if you look at the communicate dapbt's 3 central tenets of what he believes it importance, readiness is in there. the ability to move and go now. where do you want us, when do you want us, like fedex, we are absolutely guaranteed to be there overnight. it's what we do. it's what we are trained for. and the more we understand and can operate with civic forces, the more we understand what already exists in our life line, the more we can break down political barriers and culture barriers that exist within our
