of the reporting from the hyde park in london and as you were reporting we were looking at some live pictures there of just one of the thousands of people of protestors demonstrators in central london want to see how they compare to the student protests over november december two thousand and ten already looks like the numbers are going to war in comparison he said laura and i thank you. of radiation levels in the c.n.a. japan's fukushima nuclear plant have spiked to more than a thousand times the norm it's been over two weeks now since the devastating earthquake and tsunami which caused the accident at the facility the official death toll from the disaster stands at over ten thousand people with many more missing or homeless emergency teams still struggling to control the situation at the stricken fukushima nuclear plant several workers sustained a radiation burns while installing cables as part of efforts to restore the critical cooling systems nuclear energy experts say the damage to the site is having a dangerous effect on the environment and to people's health. i think it's cata

well i'm here in hyde park. taking place. elsewhere in. the story is very different this is really. just to travel. up to five hundred thousand people participating in this march and a little bit. around full thousand people on oxford street which is london's main shopping streets and the police are trying to employ the controversial tactic of cataloging them say keeping them in a confined space that they can't do any damage at the police they're also dressed in riot gear but nevertheless people have been smashing windows they smashed the windows at the ritz hotel and also in a variety of shops along the streets and we hear that fourteen people have been injured during that protesters are throwing paint bombs they're throwing flares that police and they're also using dustbins as projectiles and we've also heard just to seriously that waitresses have been throwing ammonia at police which could potentially blind and there's also as i say this huge peaceful demonstration behind me this is a demonstration that has been planned in the planning stages for months since december and there a

obama might... >> hinojosa: okay, hyde park, south side of chicago where barack obama and his family lived up until they moved to the white house. it's where you lived for seven years. it's where i actually spent, you know, 20 years of my life growing up. >> that's right, that's right. >> hinojosa: strange little place, but hyde park and michelle obama because... >> so michelle obama was working at the university of chicago during my years there. she was a fixture in the neighborhood. barackbamaas my state senator. he was my senator. he was my neighbor just around the corner at a condominium complex. you know, i'd see him running at the... actually, he'd lap me running at the lake, because i run very, very slowly. it's much more like a walk with my arms bent. so in many ways, i think those of us who weren't intimate friends of the obamas but were sort of just in the orbit often saw michelle as at least equally the star if not more the star. she has a kind of graciousness and a bigness of her personality that never... it never overwhelms the people with whom she's in the room, but it'

another hyde park radical in chicago he wrote a book called resurrecting empire. do you know how the acknowledgement section starts? quote, first -- this is how it starts. first chronologically and every other way comes bill ayers. bill ayers was his editor-in-chief in hyde book, the guy who helped him put it together. that's a service he provided. that's not a crazy guy that bill ayers is actually involved with dreams for my father. another thread that i got involved in was the question of post-modernism and post-modernism is sort of like pornography. it's one of the things that's hard to describe but when you see it you know it. basically it means that you reject like judeo-christian view of the world and you impose your own reality on it and you construct the reality and you impose it on the world. that doesn't sound like it makes much sense but it doesn't but it's there. you can recognize it when you see it. ayers' own memoir is laced with equal or constructed reality and so to his dreams here's what obama says but another part of me knew that what i was telli

right to occupy the white house says abraham lincoln rights only tiny pedestrian columns for the hyde parkcolumn. i read just about all of them. i couldn't find a single sentence and a lot of them that was even remotely graceful or politic. the greatest writer ever to occupy the white house put this talent on hold for nine years and then writes pedestrian columns in that sense. that's very unusual for writer. in 2006 he produces the audacity of hope and it's well written and researched but it seems to be written in an altogether different voice. david run make y will talk about in a little bit is an editor of the new yorker and the author of the obama biography called the bridge acknowledges that obama put off writing for a long time. he had to get this massive contract between the time he was elected to the senate and the time he took office. but he did his tea fire his agent because she would have gotten 15%. the one who stuck with him the last five years, and hired by the hour attorneys and negotiate with contracts it would cross their agendas of the $500,000. peter osnos who wrote abou

i'll be here all day following this march shortly these people are going to start marching down to hyde park where they're going to have a rally that's going to last for most of the afternoon i'll be down there with them to see what kind of a difference they think they're going to make government policy based on the cuts and on the military intervention in libya. reporting that for the british government says the drastic cuts to public spending ghar the best way to eliminate the country's issues your budget deficit in just four years but academic and political activist kate hudson says there are in fact many less painful alternatives the government could use these enormous cuts devastating cuts that are wreaking havoc in british communities jobs in the economy these are not the way to solve britain's economic problems there's a very clear alternative being put here today that we need investment in growth areas investment in pritish industry sustainable energy technology for example is something that britain desperately needs and which will create hundreds of thousands of jobs and people are

preparations are in full swing hair in hyde park for today's march for the alternative organizers are expecting two hundred thousand demonstrators but some are saying that up to hoffa million will turn out to march against austerity measures in the u.k. demanding that the government abandons what they're calling damaging cuts and sets out an alternative based on job creation fera taxation and growth this march has been planned for a few months following on from last year's big student demonstrations this time it's the trade unions who are getting it on the act and there's a whole new dimension to it over the last six months towns and cities all over the country have seen hundreds of thousands marched against cuts in public spending in areas like education and pensions but now the u.k.'s spending hundreds of millions on military intervention in libya it's estimated that in the first week bombing libya has already cost two hundred forty five million dollars ahead of the march i spoke to lindsey german of the stop the war coalition he told me about the costs of war what people say yes it

occupation and afghan government demonstrations called the country's president hyde park as eyes can the nations of the killings protests are continuing despite the u.s. leader and military officials apologies for the incident civilian casualties are a sensitive issue in afghanistan where more than one hundred innocent afghans were killed and nato military operations in recent weeks political activist daoud sultanzoy explains why the alliance can't cope with their anti-terrorist making matters worse for afghans. it's very difficult to translate these apologies into really meaningful. things to victims' families these are casualties that have been happening for too many years and there are too many civilian casualties the people of afghanistan the civilians are the victims of both the nato civilian casualties that need terrorists who come with suicide bombings and with and discriminant the targeting of civilian areas and the people of afghanistan are tired of both the hearts of the people of afghanistan or in the hands of two incompetent players one player is the international communi

sector over the next week it is a very short period of time well it was a lot she still here in hyde park in other areas of the city means she eight thousand people in our village street with the police trying to use the controversial technique of kettling to contain them the police telling larry riot gear they smashed windows of shops alone on the streets in regions street london's main shopping areas and we've seen more than fourteen people injured in the protective trade. and police notices a huge dust babies are gentiles and most serious given that they've thrown a mania that police officers which could potentially blind. this demonstration had been in the planning stages for a long time since december there's a whole new dimension to it now that the u.k. is a little vignettes another war in a war in country this military intervention in libya i wish to make is that the u.k. is spending foreign home million dollars a day on the military intervention in libya against the backdrop of these cuts and that inflicting on that country now is going to chill priests from the start of the whole

very much for joining us now i will just say that this is a very peaceful demonstration here in hyde park elsewhere in london we are seeing signs of violence breaking out particularly protesters throwing ammonia at the police and smashing the windows of shops along bring you more on that when i can. show you some live pictures here from central london doing the reporting certainly just throngs of crowds in central london carrying their placards and screaming at the government certainly since the here those pictures once again since the november december student protests against the tripling of university fees and these protests it's been a tough past five months for the government of prime minister cameron. live in london thank you very much. well radiation levels in the sea near japan's fukushima nuclear plant have spiked to more than a thousand times the norm it's been over two weeks now since the devastating earthquake and tsunami which caused the accident at the facility the official death toll from the disaster stands out over ten thousand people with many more missing or homeless em

rose develop's decision to build the library in hyde park, the final disposition of presidential papers was left to chance. and much of that historical record has sadly been lost. president roosevelt created an institution to preserve in tact all of his papers and related materials so that the nation could make use of the knowledge and experience contained there. the library's holdings include my grandfather's personal and family papers, the papers covering his public career at the state and national level, my grdmother's papers as well as those of many of their friends and associates. it is a treasure trove of material that captures one of the most important eras of american history, the great depression and world war ii from many perspectives and directions. my grandfather, as you may know, was a great collector of birds, ship dels, stamps, books, documents, and many other items. he once recounted after being elected to be the librarian of the hastings pudding club at harvard, some advice he was given by an old bookseller, never destroy anything. much to my family's chagrin, my grandf

in debt, having to pay back his advanced at michele's urging turns to his friend and neighbor in hyde park because they liked his 1993 book to teach. he says, help us out. they brought down his notes and his audiotapes and his unfinished manuscripts and said, we need your help. this is what christopher anderson writes. he spent six pages on this and a book that is obviously not done to support me. he has no interest in appealing to my audience. i read 80 reviews of christopher andersen's book. it was even on chris matthews. of those, do you know how many of them mentioned the single most newsworthy revelation and that. >> reporter: zero. it was at that moment that i knew, i know. my friends are saying, get your pulitzer prize speech ready. i said, you don't know this world as well as i do. and going to happen. zero out of 80. i went public. here is how the internet works. the people in the dead tree media don't understand or appreciate it. because the internet the press. my wife wonders why don't watch tv, an open sewer of untreated and unfiltered information. the internet existed in 1933

what is before you is a proposed change of use for 1945 hyde street, the valencia garage. change it from a public parking facility to a residential condominium. in addition to this change in use is a request for a rear yard variants, which is before mr. sanchez today. my understanding is that a change of use must serve the community affected. the residents of russian hill would not be best served by granting this change of use. the density, topography, housing stock, and aging population will suffer with the loss of this parking garage. so mr. sanchez does not feel ignored this afternoon, the project sponsor is also requesting approval of a rearguard variance to reduce the required rear yard of 25 feet by 60% to 810-foot rear yard. since the developer would not be providing sufficient rearguard open space for the new residents, additional demands would be placed on the very little existing public open space in the neighborhood. please do not approve this change of use, and please do not approve this variance. thank you very much. commissioner olague: thank you.

i remember when i was minister of the environment even inviting the member firm parkdale hyde park mrr. speaker we generally elect them to spend the whole time there and not to go to have the meeting. >> the conservatives are saying that bruce carton left his office and until now the cross cross -- and 2009 the department of energy and the kent -- a meeting. mr. carson was such a good escort that in september didn't take part in a live -- multilateral state meeting. carson went without them. >> the honorable leader of the government house of commons. >> he has a rather interesting use of vocabulary at a different sense of the word. here is what we know mr. speaker. the serious allegations were raised with the prime minister. he did the right thing and the proper thing and immediately referred the matter to the three relevant stories. i hope they will do two things. i hope they will conduct an investigation and number two i hope they'll use the full strength to anyone who broke it. >> the honorable member, let's try something else mr. speaker. the conservatives created the canadian sch

hyde street and the associated cross sidewalk traffic. replacing them with residential live above an increase street parking will reinforce existing use patterns and integrate the neighborhood by filling in what is currently a captive. project includes a modest rooftop addition for two residential units. the project is two fold, to diminish visibility and to clearly distinguish between the old building and the new with a change in materials and a sleek and modest contemporary appearance. we took advantage of the extremely high existing tariff that to conceal the addition, setting it 12 feet back from the front to the existing building. perhaps the most significant tactic to minimize visibility involves lowering the existing roof approximately 3 feet. this in combination makes the addition practically invisible from high street. here is what you can see here along russell street, the addition is that behind the existing paroquet. the addition is only 7 feet higher. in his rendering, ecb proposed plaiting and horizontal glazing. we had our first meeting in july 2009 before beginning design. we did mapping studies to investigate how the placement
