and i know in particular the m judah has been a real challenge. and we have come very close to securing revenue for an additional m judah train, as well as looking at express options and place where the most heavily used bus stops are. so, looking at express trains and other alternatives to make sure that we're moving people around in a more efficient way so that they feel comfortable with using public transportation as their source of transportation. i think everyone in the city is prepared to bike, to use public transportation, to walk, to ride share, but we have to make it a lot more convenient for people. and it's going to be an ongoing improvement process because we're building more housing units. we're bringing more people into the city for job opportunities. but we're not increasing the needs around public transportation and transportation in general as significantly as we are doing those other things. so, we're going to have to take a really hard look at our priorities around transportation and really aggressively deal with those things. >

of christianity and began the process of utterly divorcing christianity from its parent religion, judahism. >> it's generated controversy on multiple fronts. the search for the historical jesus has been going on for decades and many say aslan contributed nothing new. >> my attempt wasn't necessarily to blaze new ground in the study of the historical jesus. at this point, frankly, there isn't all that much new to say. but my attempt was to make that research appealing and accessible to a broad, general audience. >> there have been questions about aslan's qualifications for writing the book. some prominent scholars say his work contains errors and they dispute his conclusion. >> wow, news flash. scholars disagree. there are 10,000 different arguments about the historical jesus in the scholarly world and 10,000 refutations of them. i think for the non-scholar, the non-academic it might come as a shock or be somewhat newsworthy that there are scholars who disagree with my scholarly analysis. but amongst we scholars that's called thursday. >> some readers take issue with how aslan uses new test

reason behind this blockage and i would sympathise that probably since the president of france alone is judah good to israel on the seventeenth of november in a week's time for two days he doesn't want to ruin the visit so france wants to appear as an obstacle to the agreement with iran and precisely because these really is pose this agreement but in the long term. as these developments around syria showed france is not strong enough to decide anything by itself what role does france as relations with the gulf countries play when it comes. to iran well it's quite sure that there is a defacto alliance between gulf countries saudi arabia on the wire and israel on the other as far as the syria issue is concerned and. these countries of course do not want an agreement with. iran they have some influence but not i would say not much if you look at what's happening in mali. they support their the groups of people there are against the prince there so they have limited impact are some. forces pushing for a new agreement like for example the car manufacturer the shock. i don't think too much should b

talk to tony judah one of britain's leading environmentalist tells us they'll be a serious price to pay in the future makes more money for some people in the short term and those people happen to have very powerful leverage over government institutions this is not about whether this is a better energy source or not in an economic sense it's basically a rigged market the environmental costs are not being paid for by the shale gas companies therefore we get a full solution as to this being a cheap energy source when in fact it's only cheap now because we're passing on the costs of it being used into the future for our children and grandchildren indeed we're already beginning to see some of the costs of this kind of energy being used in the in the present and that hurricane that hit the philippines a couple of weeks ago is an example of the kind of extreme weather conditions that we can expect to accompany rapid warming of the misfire. there's been an unusual twist in the political career of one israeli man critics and his political program should have landed him in jail for racism or in t

i used to cover crime and politics and i remember president puts making a lot of preference as to judah to explain his political strategy he's political views and when you look at his very presence in the russian politics that it ended looks like a series of juda matches because he is very patient he has perseverance he studies he's opponents carefully he waits for the right moment what do you think about this political strategy because some people still that it's way to calculate it well first of all the main goal in life is to win and it is good to be calculating is good to be patient it's good to be able to wait for the right time is timing is everything i was raised in asia i was raised studying tactics. i think that this makes him the great politician he is i think in this recent debacle where you know president the united states you know wanted to bomb syria i think the whole world saw who was the senior statesman more diplomatic more intelligent and more caring about you know. the human dilemma but as commandable as that may be it also sometimes used against your own country espe

detroit and judah toward project whatever you wanted on to detroit, right? so if people wanted to imagine it as this enclave for august, that's what detroit became. urban planners and urban theory types are also divided on how you could reinvent this city that was sort of like the unsolvable math problem of difficult cities for their field, were all coming to detroit to figure this out. urban farmers. so that's most of what i meant by the title. as far as a timetable for fixing detroit, it's funny, even over the course of the four years that i was there since i started working the book, i've seen some amazing transformation, particularly into downtown and midtown corporate a lot of money has been poured into. i think there are certain advantages, frankly, we think the worst with having the reputation as being the worst, craziest, most unfixable city, a lot of smart people, a lot of ambitious people decide they want to take on that challenge. so there are lots of exciting things happening there today problem is of course most of the city continues to languish
