i do support scottish independence but i actually in kosovo i don't support it because i think nato is into this is the ambitions of various great when the great powers intervene into the process with their own interests it run of the gates and the right to self-determination and i think the people of ukraine will discover this if you start to say that certain people feel threatened and therefore they can . take to the streets and start storming government buildings and invite their neighbors in with guns to help them there is no end to it if you begin to encourage the example of people seceding from massacre you don't know how to encourage them in in ukraine in eastern ukraine you don't have to encourage anyone whatsoever if you have militias moving towards you from kim you don't need anyone outside to give you an initiative to do something i mean this is a terrifying situation in ukraine. to try to clear. the people who are going to be. more. like your. preaching everybody. may know the law oh well. my own life but. let's say the. least peace is. sometimes for nothing which. is sunni

the author that kosovo which in the one nine hundred ninety s. had a referendum on self-determination of parliamentary vote later on and the lead to war so i think the important thing is that there has to be a willingness on both parts to negotiate how the determination self-determination of the people can be organized it's a good point matthew in new york there are cases where there is force applied kosovo always been mentioned here how however you feel about the situation in crimea the people in crimea felt threatened by the coup regime in kiev so for us outside force with the threat of force can be a determining factor as well. it can but if you want a formula for self-determination there are really two varieties the one is you get yourselves and all of your neighbors and families persecuted for several decades so if you can show that you've been persecuted and massacred and denied your rights then yes that's one formula for self-determination but it usually takes a long time it takes a lot of blood so the other formula for self-determination

i do support scottish independence but kosovo i don't. see into this is the ambitions of various great powers the great powers intervene into the process with their own interests. any right to self-determination i think the people of ukraine will discover this if you start to say that certain people feel threatened and therefore they can take to the streets and start storming government buildings and invite their neighbors in with guns to help them then there is no end to it if you begin to encourage the example of people seceding from. them to encourage them in in ukraine in eastern ukraine you don't have to encourage anyone whatsoever if you have militias moving towards you from kiev you don't need anyone outside to give you an initiative to do something i mean this is a terrifying situation in ukraine. dramas that could be ignored. stories others refused in those. places changing the world. so picture of today's events my own to and from around the globe. hello welcome to sophie shevardnadze openly interfering going to topple the gover

on libya and kosovo, it's important. i don't think it's historical. i think he is principally driven by this ideological posture and his political needs at home. that's first. but on the foreign policy side, i have actually sat with him and had this conversation where he will say he will take you in a conversation from kosovo to iraq to afghanistan to libya. and you get to syria and this is where the russian federation was to stand up and not allowed the u.s. to use -- >> he basically said, i don't want that to happen again and he said, with the spec to syria -- with respect to syria, i am going to show you it's not going to happen again. >> right. this is part of the whole piece of him standing back and defining russia as separate from the west, not integrating with the west, and objecting to western conduct. i think that the point there -- i think he is wrong about this obviously, but you identified a strain in his thinking which is not historical. it's current in his thinking. >> let me make two points. john kerry has been involved in syria. it doe

kosovo and he is very much opposed to that and yet he is doing the same thing with crimea. two, libya. somehow, he feels like the united states or the security council, that they pulled one over on him and that those two things have influenced his own mind. >> i say couple of things about that. first of all, it is a bad analysis to think that this has to do with syria. i just think that's wrong. >> you mean he is too savvy to read that into it? >> this is more fundamental. this is an important aspect of what he regards as the russian sphere of influence. he has tried in his mind to or construct this eurasian union, a counterweight to the european union. but without ukraine, it's impossible. , it'sya and kosovo important. i don't think it's historical. i think he is principally driven posture andlogical his political needs at home. that's first. but on the foreign policy side, i have actually sat with him and had this conversation where he will say he will take you in a conversation from kosovo to iraq to afghanistan to libya. and you get to serious and this iswhere -- to sy

i think scott and catalunya are fairly quick cards and there are some quite complicated cases in kosovo as a case in point ok matt in london is there any formula in your mind because we could all go to the default position of just. being defined as the right to vote in determine your democratic future is that a good way of looking at it well i think you have to vote you have to have a referendum for the term in the use of the people but i think you also need to have negotiations before hand in fact the overwhelming history of of the session referendums and a declaration of independence show that they're not very extremely viable unless you have negotiations before hand you had been in boston where you had a referendum and determined self-determination and the war program immediately after that you had kosovo which in the one nine hundred ninety s. had a referendum and self-determination then of parliamentary vote later on and then led to war so i think the important thing is that there has to be a willingness on both parties to negotiate how the determination self-determination of the p

one is kosovo, he is influenced by that. he was opposed to that-- though he's doing the same thing in crimea. second, that the lib-- >> first of all, i don't think that this-- i think it's a-- it's a bad analysis. >> rose: which one? >> to think this has to do with syria. i think that's wrong. >> rose: he's too savvy to read that into it? >> this is a lot more fundamental. this is about an important aspect of what he regards as the russian sphere of influence. he has tried in mis mind to reconstruct-- or construct, this urasian union. it's a bis bit fanciful, but without ukraine it's impossible. on libya and kosovo, a question you asked earlier -- >> that's a historical note. >> well, i think it's important. i don't think it's historical, actually. i think he's principally driven by this ideological posture and his political need at home. that's first. but on the foreign policy side, i think it's important to understand, and i have actually sat with him and had this conversation where he will say-- we'll take you in a conver

and that does not give one a lot of reason to hope, i would think. >> kosovo, things like kosovo, patt are why i fluctuate back and forth -- >> to the 49. >> -- 49% bad becomes 77% bad. >> okay. next, please. we'll hold on to the mic, thank you. >> oh. thank you. i was struck by your comment about paying more attention to the danger of falling in the shower. and it reminded me of barry glassner, the sociologist, his book calledh 62f "the culture of fear." where he talks about the media really changes what we pay attention to. so we come to think in our society, for example, that school violence and being killed in an airplane crash or something that are really likely to happen but really his reference point is you're much more likely to be struck by lightning than my of those things that we read about in the media. really my question is how technology and access to information has really influenced different societies. and in new binny, for example, i'm sure they have much different access to different amounts of information than we do in -- >> they do watch the kardashians there, don'

hundreds of bodies were transferred to hide evidence of atrocities. >>> kosovo's parliament passed a law allowing the creation of a special court. it will deal with alleged crimes including the disappearance of hundreds of serb civilians during the conflict. favorable sea conditions have seen the number of attempted journeys from north africa to italy increase dramatically. >> now the death of a brazilian tv performer has sparked protests in two major cities. you demonstrators blame the police for unlawfully killing the man, something that the police denies. >> reporter: this is what happened overnight in brazil's second largest citing rio de janeiro. protesters set fire to trash in the street and fought with police after a young man was killed. a well-known tv performer, he's family said he was beaten to death by the police who mistook him for a drug dealer. the police denied that anyone died during the drug traffic operation. it's not clear who fired the shots but there were reports of more death. >> i hid in a bar because it was the only way to protect myself from the gunfire. >>

again and this is a very unfortunate situation but kosovo house while the news and is being used all the time as a precedent for the sorts of very very different things the crushers going to do in this part of the world. min is nothing comparable between the doctrine of responsibility act as it's going to the united nations on the way was good to me using it but nonetheless we in the west have created a precedent and leading to the consequences of an earlier in the day barack obama on a trip of the far east speaking for the first time in quite awhile since before the geneva talks of a week ago. the us president employing the s word sanctions. there was some possibility. the pressure to take the wiser course. after the meetings in geneva. so for at least we have seen them. not abide by the spirit or the letter of the agreement and gave a gift once again russia. fails to abide by. both despair the letter. i was discussing geneva bed. there will be for the consequences and we will ramp up further sanctions rusty red response. well i think it is often used to drive responsibly and i wish

and so if you look at the coal power plants that we would consider, kosovo, maybe smaller ones, the impact on co-2 emissions as a whole will be minuscule compared to what's happening now in the united states, china, everywhere else. would we do it? if it came to the point where there were absolutely no other potential choices for building base load which is what we're talking about. not for intermittent power. then i think we would have to consider it because people have a right to energy. >> the world is awash in liquidity right now. there's a lot of cheap money in the world. frontier funds -- do you know what a frontier fund? it basically means investing in places like africa, bangladesh, etc. they're getting investment dollars in a way they have never before. do you co-invest with them? do you even have a role? >> we were just at the g-20 meeting. i didn't attend but our chief financial officer attended. for the last three or four g-20 meetings, the topic is we need more funding for infrastructure in developing countries. so the world is awash in liquidity, that's true, but it's really

go and overplayed or was it just a case where no one was able to energize his books i kinda did in kosovo groom in his two month was the unit that they are in that is strong color positions inside the judiciary and place mats that people who went with the bottle. indeed able to afford to allow for whom a nuisance lot of time is the quality improvement and that the standard evan hendricks is that in many important and they did not all people to have an up and says they have the solutions they could eat it. our little prawns universities in prison the decor dish i last saw people know not detected every gun a month as fisted other governments will also cut out the trusty cronyism and then does it the kids and hubby can pop my part to the government's that the lord on corruption the models all christian people laugh. mostly due to its own cousin of insulin most people don't believe in all positions. promises. and the second type is not that is all connected to many people that count the total trust in something as mundane as the ultimate if they want they don't want to go school go home repu

he looks which he had previously decided where of kosovo and he decides it must be to the southwest over those mountains and he decides to cross. now, some have interpreted this as evidence of secret orders. he is going to get santa fe no matter what even if he got across the mountains. maybe so but a look at the map reveals that if he is on the arkansas, the red river right here in santa fe art in the same directions of the direction alone doesn't tell us what about what the objection is. but the path i think it does tell us something. this is the view that he would have had from his christmas day camp it for several days before and after. the past is a low spot in the mountains a little bit to the southwest of the city and if he had stood at the camp and looked south, he would have found a very inviting place to try to cross the mountains. if the mission is to get santa fe this is as good of a place as any to try to do it. if he stands in the same spot and looks to the left he will see the peaks of the northern end of the mountains and he's going to realize that if i run across, it's n

and the sanctity of sovereign borders though they're not always insane and there are many examples kosovon crimea come to mind who has the right to their own state. zero tolerance is the idea that for any particular misbehavior the schools will have no discretion and personally i think it's a foolish idea. to take as. the prison industry and it's not just the government but we have a company that a. lot of. kids literally get a ticket for chewing gum in class or for hockey too loudly and gay men have to go to court just seems like you criminalized and then we have responded. disproportionately to things that even should be caught. we can push them out put them in prison they will get out and they will have learned. these people don't belong to a charity fund a social service or anything like that this is just a spontaneous community of people together has no higher. they call themselves people who give a damn we've come here to help out disadvantage senior citizens please don't cry why are you crying they don't know each other but they do share one common goal. please. show. told me she i

so in comparison to crimea secession to rush hour president obama justified it made us bombing of kosovo and the us invasion of iraq of which she was a vocal opponent back in the days is there any room for comparison here. well i guess a little bit but i think we're we're inconsistent about it because you know in kosovo there was there was just a declaration and we supported it there was no elections so i think the spread president misspoke on. this this you know referendum was much more ocean open than what happened in kossovo and yet on numerous occasions we have supported you know certain events where the elections or or whatever so i don't think it's a doctor the same and i think that we should not be so critical of what happened in just automatically say that this was an illegal you know the referendum was a lot more democratic than the overthrow of the. government is the way i see it but also precisely because of issues like. the war in iraq we can also think about a lot of bad. america's support for the syrian opposition do you think and do you feel like they washington has lost i
