a kyoto company that had been making paint for 260 years developed the formula. five years ago, yumi began helping her parents who run the factory. profits from japanese painting materials had fallen to a sixth of their former level after western painting became popular and painting materials more available. >> translator: we had a huge amount of debt, enormous, and you could see this was just a shoestring operation. it seemed like there were no signs that business was going to get better. >> translator: you should have focused on gofun, a white pigment essential to japanese painting. the substance is made from scallop shells, which have a natural luster. the paint is also used on traditional japanese masks. ishieda realized the value of its natural shine. as she developed her new product, she received advice from other paint manufacturers. in the process, she learned that she could make a nail polish by using scentless ingredients. she started adding dye and succeeded in making red, pink and blue nail polish. it's the first time a long-standing paint company has

accords to go further, as ryan was just mentioning, as kyoto would have required the united states. we want to roll back our co2 emissions 20 percent from 1990 standards. the challenge is how do you do it. we have mayors saying, well, we've done it. what's the methodology where you determine where you were and now where you are and i realize we're not that sophisticated in terms of really aggregating that information, registering that information and really, indeed, knowing how much we have accomplished. we are anecdotally but we recognize even in san francisco that we were having a difficult time determining how far along we were on this path. that's why we have become the first city in the state and we're very proud of the leadership now in the state and i say leadership now in the state, not leadership 5 years ago, but now in the state on these issues, by becoming the first city to register where we are in terms of our emissions and having more objective minds determine exactly where we are so it's not just a politician coming up and saying we've rolled it up 30 percent below 199

gates and built before the midwinter fair and rebuilt in the last 20 years and people who came from kyoto and used the materials and traditional japanese trees and they're phenomenal and just like what you see in the temple gardens in kyoto. the pioneer log cabin and used for pevmen ps for the rec department in golden gate park and was recently restored and renovated. apparently they brought the logs in out of the woods -- out of the forest by helicopter so they wouldn't damage the bark because the bark is an important part of the buildings as you can see. one of my favorite buildings in san francisco. the camera obscura and one of the last remaining buildings that was play land of the beach and right below the cliff house and opening in the roof that you can see there and it rotates and lens and a mirror in the opening and project what is it sees outside into a parbollic shape platform inside the building and you can see the world outside. why do i have to pay three dollars and i can go outside and look at it? it's a truly remarkable experience. first of all the preriffal stimuli is gone

. ♪ >>> and finally, we have this story from kyoto, which has more to offer here at week's end than just stroll around japan's asian capital. visitors can receive a blessing at a temple that's a world heritage site for the shopping they will be doing this year. toji temple holds a fair on the 21st day of every month to mark the date when the buddhist priest kobo daishi died in 835. the first fair of the year is especially popular. an estimated 100,000 people visited the temple on friday. most of them began with a prayer in front of a statue of kobo daishi before they got busy with shopping. more than 1,000 stores line the streets, selling clothes, and traditional souvenirs. rabbit dolls made of silk cloth sold well because 2011 is the year of the rabbit in the chinese zodiac. >>> that's it for this edition of "newsline." i'm hideshi hara in tokyo. thanks for joining us on nhk world. jj

an annual new year's card game has been held at a shrine in ancient japanese capital in kyoto. 26 people aged 8 to 24 took part in the game that features a collection of 100 tanka or short poems from the 7th through 13th centuries. cards bearing the latter half of the poems were arranged before the participants who wore traditional costumes sitting face to face in pairs on a stage in the shrine. the players listened to the first half of a poem and tried to fit the corresponding card faster than their opponents. at a shinto shrine in southwestern japan, about 200 men competed for the control of a sacred wooden ball, a traditional fortune telling event. the 500-year-old annual new year's contest at the shrine is called tomasisity. men in loin cloths raced 250 meters to the main shrine scrambling to get the ball. the ball, about 30 centimeters in diameter and 8 kilos in weight is believed to bring luck to those who touch it. the tradition says if a person from the seaside becomes the last to hand the ball over to the priest, it will be a good year for fishing. if a farmer is the last, the h

of those positions on their merits there are very strong reasons why the united states resisted the kyoto protocol and there are strong reasons why the u.s. has declined to join the criminal court one can disagree with those and you know that's a legitimate argument but that we're guided by in white and self-interest i think is. is in do but it will be ok but i mean this is what's here this is what's so interesting is all right david go ahead go ahead jump in i started a fight you can continue it go ahead i'm going to godfrey going to see it this is what so this is i i agree with what peter said this is what's so interesting is that when the united states gets behind something or or builds consensus for a common good that common good is also in our national interests so when we oppose something out of national interest reasons it kind of makes people think that all were about is our national interest i think that what's different is that is that there is a a mix of idealism and real politic on our foreign policy that in many ways but not exclusively in many ways is uniquely american and h

welcome back across nagan kyoto treaty mind you we're talking about pakistan's instability. but before we see how pakistan is ranked when it comes to terrorism a failed state pakistan's economic situation has deteriorated to the brink of collapse during two thousand and ten and now with this nation of someone to xenia the political situation reaches the point of this the air for the major ruling party according to the map of croft pakistan is world's second terrorism risk country while some made it at the top iraq and afghanistan poll pakistan on the terrorism risk index list thus there is an ongoing prostration that pakistani officials are not doing enough to come back terrorist groups in the country tribal areas and the bomb administration has decided to offer pakistan more military intelligence and comic support and to intensify u.s. efforts to forge a regional peace peter. ok dan i'd like to go to you i mean the headline always is this is that the pakistanis aren't doing enough ok that's of the american perspective is here and of course it's dealing with the tribal areas

in copenhagen a loud kyoto to be fretted.nd you're right, if we stop emitting fossil fuels today, we would still by many estimates rise to 550 parts per million, 350 parts per million being the level by which we can sustain life as we know it. and we have to understand that these forces are not going to protect us. they are not going to save us. as things meltdown, they will retreat into enclaves, heavily guarded enclaves where they will have access to security goods and services that are denied to the rest of us. which is why all resistance now is local. the more we can do to be self-sustaining, the more freedom and power we have. and that's why sustainable energy, the food movement are absolutely crucial. and don't be fooled. these are soon going to become expressions of a political -- politicized expressions. i just did a story for the nation magazine on camden, new jersey, which per capita is the poorest city in the best states and not surprisingly the most dangerous. and there's no supermarket in the center of camden. be

. >> host: he has picked up on ecological themes, he will criticize on kyoto. >> guest: this is relatively recent phenomenon but generally we interviewed him in 1987 and 98 and another and 1999 and it was about our foreign policy. where does this come from? his understanding of islam which i try to make it clear. to pretend this has nothing to do with islam like the crusades have nothing to do with christianity. that is not a critique but bin laden can take there is enough ammunition but with a profit muhammed it is the word of god so essentially countenance unprovoked attacks against the infidels and it uses these vs. repeatedly. they see themselves as defending true islam and one of the reasons it is hard to deter. it gives them staying power. >> focusing on the power of the united states, they dislike. win you say they are primarily opposed, people say let's make good deal. was pullout of the middle east and take away their excuse for supporting and stop backing israel then we will be attacked any more. do you believe that to be the case? >> we were packed because of our four policy doe

now you have it processed the americans are engaged in, it's a different process, it is post kyoto, oneore to the liking of canada as well, and the current government of canada is saying we are going to target our policy with the americans decide what they are going to do. so where you have a lot of discord and finerged is a differ that is less of at it seems to me if friction between the two countries. islamic to listen carefully it starts to become a recurring theme. we agreed after years of arguing and having difficulties had to not do much and then so everyone is fine with it. but whether it was fine with not doing much it is true that after about two years of arguing canada should have a made in canada climate change policy which meant rejecting kyoto steven harper realized the main chance lay in claiming to want to billy climate change policy with the americans which essentially meant bidding on obama's inability to get much done. in so many things harper turned out to be why is better. so now that he's serious, cap-and-trade scheme is dead in congress and we are happy to have a c

they are the only country to meet the targets of the kyoto protocol.nd then, the market in the united kingdom are different stories. you can argue this now or left. i appreciate what you said. the conservatives and progressive debate that we have will have to do with how we have shared responsibility. this is the debate that the world needs to have. >> i think that this is a good way, and a good message to be ending this session on. but i have one last session. you have achieved such a lot during our presidency, in a different way, over the last 10 years. i think that there is a remarkable example of engagement, global engagement. what do you want to achieve in the next 10 years? >> i would like to live. i would like to be a grandfather. and i would like to have a happy wife, and she won't be unless she is a grandmother. something she wants to be more than she wanted to be president. all -- i will tell you what i would like. i consider every day a gift. and so i would like to maintain enough health and mental capacity to keep learning about the world a

useful guide to all of us, but -- >> host: and he has picked up on also the seems to criticize us on kyoto and various other -- >> guest: but this is a recent phenomenon, but as a general principle we interviewed him in 1997 and john miller of abc news interviewed him in 98 and he gave another interview in 1980 and 99, and i was really about our foreign policy. now where is the critique of the foreign policy coming from? it comes from his understanding of islam, which i try to make it clear in the book. not to include -- to pretend that there is nothing to -- this is nothing to do with islam would be like singing the crusades have nothing to do with christianity. it wouldn't make any sense. which is not a critique of islam. it is merely that bin laden is able to take -- if there is enough information in talk koran, they are not in the words of the prophet mohammed. the koran is the word of god, and so to serve the koran is a sort of attack against infidels they won't convert or pay taxes to the muslim rulers. and bin laden uses these reversals repeatedly. so, and these guys themselves defe

a particularly useful guide to all of us, but he has stepped up also the themes to criticize us on kyoto and various others. >> guest: this is a relatively recent phenomenon. we interviewed him in 1997 and john miller of abc news interviewed him in 98 and he gave another interview to "time" magazine and was a bad foreign policy. where does the critique come from? it comes from his understanding of islam which i try to make clear in the book, not to include, to pretend that there is nothing to do with islam that the crusade had nothing to do with christianity. it wouldn't make any sense that isn't a critique of islam, it's that bin laden is able to take inanition for instance the verses in the koran that are not in the words of the prophet mohammed, it is the word of god, and so the koran is against infidels if they weren't paid taxes to the muslim rulers and they use these repeatedly. they see themselves as defending true islam. one of the reasons they are hard to detour they don't believe that god is on their side and defending the true islam which gives them stay in power. >> host: wit

now you have it processed the americans are engaged in, it's a different process, it is post kyoto,ne more to the liking of canada as well, and the current government of canada is saying we are going to target our policy with the americans decide what they are going to do. so where you hav a lot of discord and finger-pointing back-and-forth in the past is much more convergence now whether you agree with where the converged is a different matter that is less of what it seems to me if friction between the two countries. islamic to lten carefully it starts to become a recurring theme. we agreed after years of arguing and having difficulties had to not do much and then so everyone is fine with it. but whether it was fine with not doing much it is true that after about two years of arguing canada should have a made in canada climatchange policy which meant rejecting kyoto steven harper realized the main chance lay in claimingto want to billy climate change policy with the americans which essentially meant bidding on obama's inability to get much done. in so many things harper turned out to

people went to spend the money on something else so sweden is the only country to meet its kyoto target virtually 100% through no alternative energy and efficiency than denmark and the u.k. they are slightly different stories but my point is you can argue this right or left, but you can't divide the evidence so i appreciate what you said. we need a conservative and progress of the debate over what kind of humanitarian as we have, how we have shared benefits and shared responsibilities? that is the the date the world needs. >> david, this is a good message to end this session but nevertheless, i have one last question. you have achieved such a lot during your presidency. you have achieved in a different way a lot over the last ten years. i think a remarkable example of engagement, global engagement, social engagement. what do you want to achieve the next ten years? >> i would like to live. [laughter] i would like to be a grandfather. i have nothing to do with that achievement, but i would like to be. [laughter] and i would like to have a happy life, and she won't be on us she's a grandmo

clinton, he designed to sign the kyoto accord which the u.s. senate never took up. most recently i was a part of the congressional delegation that then speaker nancy pelosi took to copenhagen last year where president obama came and pleaded that there be a conference agreement which then secretary of state hillary rodham clinton agreed to fund with dollars that the united states government didn't have. so i was in buenos aires and all the major conferences as a congressional observer/delegate. i chaired dozens of hears on global warmings, authored bills and was the original co-sponsor and passed the -- helped vote for and support the clean air act amendments in 1990. so i've been involved in this issue for a number of years. let me say this, co-2 is not a pollutant under the criteria put forward by the clean air act. it's not one of the named criteria pollutants like so-2 of our ozone. it is necessary for life, as we know it. the term greenhouse gas, if you just think what a greenhouse is, self-enclosed, in this case the world, and the greenhou

the four countries in the world of 44 wealthy ones who promised to meet specific targets under the kyoto climate change treaty and the other in the u.k., sweden and denmark and all four of them before the financial collapse were performing the american economy, lower rates, high your job growth rates, higher business rates, less any quality because they changed the way they are producing energy and it turned out to be good economics. slicing fat, david, is a good indication, and for the rich developed countries if you want your economy to grow you don't want to shut it down and become but you of to add new jobs every five to eight years. the other thing i would say is china joined the world trade organization. we want them to be able to help the poor people in china who are not part of the prosperity yet. india, we don't want to see a major political crisis in india or there's a record number of millionaires and billionaires and still have 650 billion people living on less than $2 a day so we want them to do that. on the other hand, the relative position of the united states and the othe

we're going to run up whatever kyoto treaty that we please.t's no way to win a war on terrorism. that's no way to win the cold war. to win both, we had to and we must be the best global citizens we can be. you know, i'm struck that right now the degree to which americ americanss are upset over the finale of the sitcom "friends." i think there's a reason for that, because they're the only friends we have left and now they're leaving. and that is simply no way to win a global war on terrorism. lastly, sarge, what i take away from your life in your book, is again, something we have so gotten away from. and that's imagination. you know, there's a real struggle in the world today. in a way this war of ideas, it's a struggle between two forms of imagination. one is the imagination of the boys of 9/11, on the people who support them. and the other is the imagination of america bng the best it can be. that's the real struggle out there. somewhere along the way you must have been sitting around and said imagine, imagine if we had like a peace corps, yo
