called for a democratic transition and me and ma but ruled out sanctions is a diplomatic editor james baker's. certainly you have some members of the security council russia china vietnam potentially who are not keen on any punitive action against the generals and if the security council doesn't take some further action if it just comes up with another statement it's not clear where that takes us because remember the security council has issued 2 statements. a return to democracy in myanmar urging the release of all the politicians who are being detained and condemning the violence and despite that the bloodshed has gone on individual countries obviously can pursue their own policies and many have done that certainly western countries have stopped doing business with beyond man to put sanctions on the military and businesses that are linked with the military certainly the u.n. secretary general would like tougher action from the security council that is clear from his special envoy christine shriner bergen who's been speaking to the security council the meeting is behind closed doors but i ha

[ applause ] >> i'm in full agreement with secretary of state james baker's formulation. the existing dangers are largely a function of the watershed character of the times we live in. it is quite clear that the enhanced integration and interdependence of the world at the same time creates new tensions, both domestically and internationally. unleashing processes which earlier were hidden from view. the very fact that the two world blocs are no longer in confrontation and that the collapse of totalitarian regimes has released centrifugal forces which had been temporarily frozen, territorial and intergovernmental contradictions and claims has encouraged and exaggerated nationalism. and this has already led to much bloodshed. the ending of the global confrontation of the nuclear superpowers and of the ideological opposition between the two world systems has rendered even more visible today's major contradictions. between the rich and the poor countries, between the north and the south. all of these terms today are more than merely conventional ones. the essence

crackdown the army's also intensifying an offensive against rebel groups and diplomatic editor james baker is at the united nations. in the past the security council has released 2 statements about the situation in myanmar but the generals defied those words and there was further violence this time no statement the outgoing president of the security council for march the u.s. ambassador linda thomas greenfield spoke to reporters it's the credibility of the security council it's. i don't think our credibility is at stake i think what has to happen is we have to redouble our efforts what the military is doing in burma to the people or to the people of burma the violence the attacks the killings of children they are appalling and and they are unacceptable so we can't just. step back and allow this to happen we have to keep pushing forward in the close in the council was briefed by the u.n. special envoy christine trauner bergan she still wants to travel to me and marta speak to the generals she said i will remain open to dialogue and continue to signal this but if we wait only for when they a

2004 elections and controversy around them, there was a commission of president jimmy carter and james bakerthink it's time for a group of people to have a bipartisan commission like we did in policing in 2015 in the obama administration and in the election to decide what is the right standards that we as american society can agree to. states rights. it's their decision but if we had a standard we could hold people to, it would be good p. i ask you this because the latest studies show the american people trust you guys more than congress, than lawmakers to actually get things done, right? to actually help enact change outside of your core business. there's a piece in "the wall street journal" that pointed out something so interesting. when civil rights legend andrew young needed help back in the '60s on voting rights, here is what he said. he said, believe it or not, i have more faith in business than i have in church or politics or anything else i do. and the reason is there is more freedom and more courage in our free enterprise system. so fast forward to today, what will you do about it?

of looking at this the carter center or president jimmy carter and homeland secretary of state james bakerid on that bipartisan presidential commission and they had their best practices and obviously they did not agree on every thing but what they came out with was a list of recommendations and many of those were implemented since that time and that's what i would say is make sure we get it from both sides. we live in polarizing times and we are a 50/50 nation and when one person has the 50.1 it will shove something down someone else's throat and so then what will happen as soon as the other side gets power and they will want to do the same thing. then it then it becomes to it not productive or healthy or what i believe is a consensus republic. we need to make sure that we reach across the aisle and build bipartisanship in the bill and what would you like to see, where do we need to have it and that hard negotiating on both sides and perhaps we need to reconvene that bipartisan commission again before we take another step forward. >> we have the issue of election with lines in the polling

certainly james baker did, george schultz did. that she wanted to see was she wanted to see her husband go down in history as a peacemaker, not a war mongerer. she understand that it was possible, along with his cold war rhetoric, his anti-communist posture, there was an idealist and that he believed in a world without nuclear weapons. and he also believed in his own abilities as a negotiator. this was something that a lot of the people, the hawkish people on his security team resisted. they thought there could never be a working relationship with moscow. but she set it up so that george schultz gets the president alone one night, and that is the moment where schultz begins to realize, this guy is dying to have an opening with moscow. he also realizes, as george schultz told me, anybody with any brains would make a friend of the first lady. >> yeah. there's a moment in here where, right after ronald reagan gave his evil empire speech, there's a moment here where you describe how nancy reagan is just leaning in on him and berating
