welcome to secretary locke and ambassador kirk. first let me say i appreciate your efforts on the actions that have been taken. i can only say on behalf of the people of michigan that we need many more, and we need to be aggressive the focused. i am pleased to be a part of the export council that the president has established throh your leadership. but in my judgment if we don't address trade enforcement issues will be exporting jobs and not products. we want to export products, not our jobs. that is the whole point of what we are talking about. if we do not get a handle fully on what china is doing i dot kn how we meet the president's export goals. that is of great concern to me. the actions that you take, i would say the message from the people of michigan is, whether or not you act on currency as a subsidy effects the people of my state and jobs. whether or not you act on the wto agreements, whether or not you act on currency or intellectual property rights are what happens and procurement, all of those stains directly relate to

we have a triple lock in place to make sure that the pension upgrade is at the highest level possible. next year, therefore, because of what we expect with rpi, the pension will be upgraded and increased along with it. when she gets to the dispatch box the next time, will she confirm that labour's plans were to uprate benefits by less than the consumer price index? >> harriet harman. >> there was nothing complicated at all about the question, but it was one that the prime minister did not seem to want to answer. the answer is that they have not set aside a single penny for that big promise to pensioners. next year prices are due to go up more than earnings, so bringing forward the earnings link by a year does not give pensioners anything extra. but though pensioners get nothing from that change, we all know they will pay more in vat. the chancellor promised to provide help for pensioners. i am sure that pensioners, including those in the southwark pensioners action group, or spag, which the honorable member knows well, will want to know. are pensioners better off or worse off as a res

they locked the project and won the bid and did not perform for six months. it was discovered they had no ability to perform. it is possible that some countries with lots of cash reserves can come and block mines without exploring it. -- lock mines without exploring it. we have to prevent that. >> how many years are we looking at to be able to benefit? >> it depends on the type of mines. i have looked into this a little more in-depth. for yourself bonds and computers andatteries and everything. you should buy lithium stocks. depending on the type ofines, some lines are easily extracted -- mines are easily extracted and process. some take time because of the infrastructure it requires. one of the requirements would be roads to some of those regions that the mining can occur. the other one would be energy and we have been sitting on our hands in terms of production of energy for eight years. we have -- i was talking to some people. we have electricity, water, we have wind, the son, coal, oil, gas, -- t sun, coal, oil, gas, and uranium. i do not think that shoul

can i ask the prime minister to lock up the existing home office guidance

they'll be locked inside a windowless capsule for 520 days, the time needed for a round trip to mars and they'll follow a strict regimen of experiments and exercise. scientists and doctors will monitor the men to see how an actual space voyage would affect a crew. >> ( translated ): some people have a fear of being locked in. some people enjoy the change of scenery, circumstances and people. but when everybody interacts with the same people in the same space, habits and behavior become apparent very quickly. these habits may irritate and cause indignation and even fits of aggression. >> sreenivasan: the mars 500 experiment is set to launch on thursday. >> lehrer: international law and politics on day three of the gaza story. judy woodruff has our report . >> woodruff: the procession began at dawn, and throughout the day, israeli buses carried hundreds of detained, pro-palestinian activists to ben gurion airport and to the border with jordan. nearly 700 people were captured. commandos raided six ships trying to break a blockade and ferry aid to gaza. nine people were killed in fightin

to the locks. they could push those gates. however, local security -- the local law enforcement doesn't have a key to those locks. if a deputy sheriff in one of those counties is chasing a bad guy into that area they are prohibited from that pursuit. somehow we've just got to get common sense back into the situation because what we are talking about simply, simply does not work. and there's an irony into this. the sole purpose of trying to stop the border patrol from securing our borders is because the fear that they may cause damage to the environment. that a motorized border patrol truck could actually screw up the land or chase away an animal or do something else. so, therefore, we are prohibiting them from doing that except for some extraneous and unusual circumstance. but the irony is the bad guys, the drug cartels, the human traffickers, potential terrorists, they're not inhibited by any of that. so they go into that area and they don't care what kind of environmental damage they do. madam sp

we would have had the locking seal ring before the proceeding. and leading up to all of that there was clearly -- this is based on what's publicly been made available, there weee clearly a lot of indications or problems with this whale going on for some period of time leading up to the final loss of control. and why those -- how those were dealt with and why they weren't dealt with differently, i don't know. and we don't have all the information so i want to echo what mr. watson said there. we are very interested, i said in my remarks. we want to see the actual investigation because we want to understand were they looking at something as opposed to making the decisions almost any of our drilling operations people would have made differently that led to the ultimate loss of the well. >> thank you. my time is running out but let me make a statement, mr. chairman. i feel more confident in these assurances if i didn't realize that each of the oil spill responses plans from the companies are virtually identical to b.p.'s. so you would have done things

>> what i can promise my honorable friend is that we will have such legislation on the referendum lock, so that it will not be possible in future for a british government to pass powers from westminster to brussels without asking the british people first. seems to me that is absolutely right. the referendum on the alternative vote was part of the coalition agreement, and he will be free to campaign on whatever side of the referendum he wants. that was part of the agreement that put together this government, which i believe is rolling up its sleeves and sorting out the country's problems. >> jim dobbin. >> about 1.5 million people suffer from involuntary tranquillizer addiction as a result of medical prescribing, and it totally ruins their lives. will the government consider investing in cost-effective, supportive, long-term withdrawal treatment programs to enable them to lead normal lives, come off benefits, and go back to work? >> let me praise the honorable gentleman for his interest in this work. i know that he is chairman of the all-party group that deals with this extremely diffic

at the show i say all the freaks are outside and i locked the doors. we believe that we aren't the freaks. it's everyone else is the freaks. >> larry: your videos are hugely popular on the internet. they've also been remade by other people, like u.s. soldiers in afghanistan, or the 12-year-old grayson chance performing "paparazzi." do you like all these imitators? >> yes, of course. but it's actually very interesting that you brought up the soldiers in afghanistan, because i specifically didn't post that one when i saw it. i wanted to post that one on my twitter, but i got nervous about posting it on my twitter because i was not sure how it would be received by -- >> larry: who? >> the other soldiers or the other, you know, members of the army or the administration. so i didn't post it. and then it's quite interesting that all of these -- this "don't ask, don't tell" is happening now that it's happening, because in the alejand"alejandro" videos this sort of homo-erotic military theme in the video. and it kind of makes perfect sense, doesn't it? it all

what we want to do is lock in a guaranteed. we are not going to find rselves in that slope ain. >> there are allies i feel commitment to. there is taiwan, south korea. nobody is talking about significant numbers of ground troops. there is a technological aspect. i think it goes back about human rights. the focus ought to be on democrats in -- democratic societies. intervening in a civil war does not wor ery well because of the baggage america carries. it is counterproductive. any further questions? in the back. >> what happens [[naudibl [inaudible] let me make it clear that one part of this repo that will not getuch congressional support is tricare. i think it's in the interests of many of the people most opposed to the kind of think people have been through in afghanistan is people whoav been through it. once we make it clear we are appropriately defined national security -- secondly, i hope every organization in this country that wants to see more spending on qlity of life issues and lower taxesill join this effort. we need t

balance the interest for the neighbors -- for the nation's farmers, as we had eration costs and we locked in commodity prices for responsible business planning. i look forward to working with all of my colleagues at this table and i will yield back. >> the gentleman from kansas? >> the constituents and the people of our country have been toward the great recession since december 2007, and whether you are a democrat or reblican, theegulation f the financial system -- we had a ne-collapse of the entire economy, the worst of its client -- the worst of its kind sce the great deession. this was the constituents on main strt, not wal street. american houholds lost 14 million -- $14 million in finces, and many were forced toelay their retiremen. the ponzi seme of bernie madoff took $65 million from the investors. many americans have lost trust in the financial system. we must enact this into law so that we will have o trust restored. the nstituents demand a financial system thawill hold predatory lenders accountable. the constituents deserve a new system that will protect the rights of consumers

lock the doors and say, we are not leaving until we solve this problem. when infrastructure is right, the whole state can grow. we can gain that growth. but it is not just the port of charleston. it is that jasper and georgetown ports. >> mr. mcmaster, 30 seconds. >> the charleston port can take more ships at high tide. george and has an enormous opportunity and jasper will be there when we maximize charleston. we all agree on the basic ingredients that we have. that difference with me is that i say that we can think big, think globally, and there is no end to what we can do, but we have to work together to accomplish real change. the sanford years and showed me what you can -- what can happen when you do not do that. i am a positive conservative leader who of gone things done in the executive branch and i'm ready to expand it from the governor's office. >> your question was on course and how to maximize interstate highways. we need to learn from georgia. they ran with it because governor per do with greek people at the ports and thank them for their busi

what we've noticed taking over lock is that we probably easily, 40% to 50% of those students have been put in a too restrictive environment. and they're serving them in a more classroom integrated environment which will better serve those kids. you tend to see that a lot in those communities, particularly in latino males which is sad and takes away from the actual issue. it's poor classroom management as translated into a special ed rating. i think that's sad. >> it also happens in rural systems not to mention 70% of chamberlain was identified as special needs, is that correct? >> just going back to your first comment of flexibility. the rubber is going to hit the road for me. i just accepted a position that has 13,000 students. i feel very, very confident that it's going to work because i've seen it work in larger school districts than that. so the focus on instruction, collaboration, so forth, you think it's manage not limited to full schools. we used to identified some students as triple threats. they're native american and special ed. >> they counted against them three times. >> an

i want to say, i want to break the locks -- may i get an additional minute? mr. mcgovern: additional one minute to the gentlelady. the speaker pro tempore: the gentlelady is given an additional one minute. ms. jackson lee: i thank the speaker. here's what i'd like to do. i'd like us to be able to engage and tell you what our issues are whatever we are running for. and, yes, we have to run with the resources that we have to raise. and when i say that, individuals who are running for office, no matter what party they're in, but what we most want to do is break the locks and chains that big money can mischaracterize an election. we want to take away the right of those who want to demonize someone who, for example, maybe interested in comprehensive immigration reform. that's their viewpoint. they're running on that. maybe they're not. or someone who's running against it. we don't want to have big money demonize a prospective that maybe the public should hear. so i don't know what the opposition is on the other side because the first amendment is protected, and i beli

the guy who locked himself out of his car bomb. the al qaeda, the christmas day bomber could not blow up his hands. he did not make gasoline explode. let's spend a trillion dollars and 2/3 of our military fighting these people. i do not understand that you of it. john kerry said it well in the 2004 election when he ran on this idea that terrorism is best what with law enforcement. with spy agencies. that is how you fight this. you do not fight it with an army. and has been disappointing that this president>> larry: why do you think he supports it so much? >> he feels he is pulling out of iraq and the democrats are seen as the party that is soft on war and soft on the macho stuff. he has to have some work going. to say we're going to double down on this but we are pulling out any yearpeerk these people and afghanistan, they have outlasted the invaders for hundreds of years, thousands of years. teacake alexander the great out of there. they defeated the british. the idea we are staying there one more year is instilling a fear in them

over the last four months i've been encouraging secretary locke to announce a repatriation initiative. as a result, i'll be courage urging the appropriations committee to include language in this year's bill, 2011 commerce, justicee science bill to direct the department to launch such a initiative, working with the governors of this country. i hope the administration and my colleagues in the congress will embrace this initiative and reach out to large american companies about bringing the jobs home to america. a major repatriation program will allow us to create new jobs, promote u.s. exports and demonstrate that america can still be a highly competitive manufacturer in a global market and yield back the balance of my time. the speaker pro tempore: mr. smith of new jersey. mr. smith: thank you very much, madam speaker. i rise today to call on the president to give israel the unequivocal, robust and vigorous support it deserves. since the may 31 gaza flotilla incident, israel has been under media attack. and even in the past few days, many articles in international newspapers take a gr

the lock down sleeve. centralizers instead of doing 21 as recommended you only do six. that defies this safety emphasis, does it not? >> we've launched an investigation, which which have shared with yourself, mr. chairman and all of your members, which is identified seven areas. it's identified areas around cement, casing, integrity pressure measurement, well controlled procedures, and three areas around the blow-out preventer which failed to operate. this investigation is ongoing it's not complete. >> you're the ceo of this company. you said you were here to answer questions of the american people. you were an exploration manager with bp. you were the director of bp's exploration. you were vice president of bp's exploration and production. you hold a ph.d. from the university of edinboro. based on the may 12th hearing and may 25th memo, our june 14th letter to you, based on all those facts are your trying to tell me you have not reached a conclusion that bp really cut corners here? >> i think it's too ear try to reach conclusions, with respect, mr. chairman. the invest

we do not have locked buildings. instead, we gradually place school organizations without adding new students until the final student graduates. that strategy is fundamentally -- has fundamentally improved opportunities for our kids. there are 400 new schools outperforming our other schools citywide. our new schools have an average graduation rate of 75%, even though they serve some of the highest need students. let me give you a concrete example. in september 2003, we began to phase out a high school in brooklyn which had historic underperformance and an abysmal graduation rate. today there are four new schools driving in the same building. -- thriving in the same building. sometimes when a school has experienced sustained failure, the only way to transform it is a real transformation change. we believe the esca must include consequences for consistently low performing schools. there are groups that advocate for the status quo, despite abundant evidence that the3 the job done for too many students. mr. chairman, tha

i am sure they will put it in a lock box. >> it will be run by ken feinberg.itss a democratic party fund run by an avid democrat. a good guy and will do a good job. >> larry: ben, did you want them to appoint a republican? >> absolutely a republican appointed feinberg for 9/11 victims fund. a republican appointed a democrat. it would have been nice if obama appointed a republican it would have shown bipartisanship. the problem is terribly serious the should not be overwhelmed by a new problem. partisanship and politics and abandoning the constitution. let's get the spill filled and return to the constitution. >> the own one raising a partisan issue is you. >> that is not true. >> you pointed out he is a good guy. let it ride. you keep saying he abandoned the constitution. there is nothing unconstitutional about what he did. >> where in the constitution does it say he can do that, professor? where he can strong arm corporations into banking $20 billion? >> it is -- ben, are you serious? >> enumerated powers, not a document of unlimited powers, enumerated powers

we need to have a much more aggressive effort, egg knowledge with secretary locke has said about examples of one sort or another but what is indisputable is we are falling further behing tariffs up to 30% onome green goods, i want, as chairman of the trade subcommittee and somebody who is consistently, to use your words mr. ambassador, works to expand the global trading system, because i think trade is a democratizing force. it is good for workers and they think it helps generate market for exporters and those products are good for people around the world that we have got a lot of heavy lifting to do or we will be following this up with both of you. unless either of you have anything you would like to add it has been a long, long afternoon and we will excuse you at this time. >> we thank you for your leadership and look forward to working with you. >> thank you for yours ambassador and yours mr. secretary. the senate is adjourned. [captioning performed by national captioning institute] [captions copyright national cable satellite corp. 2010] >> president obama will announce the removal of

and we've been locked in this room, but i'm told there's been a number of thunderstorms in the area. senator brown, i think you were flying back to massachusetts. that could 0 not have been very much fun. the first witness is senator john kerry. he's a senior united states senator from massachusetts. he's chairman of the senate foreign relations committee. i've had the privilege of serving with him ever since he came to the senate, and he's a decorated vietnam veteran from his ground breaking work on the iran-contra scandal to his leadership and global efforts to combat aids. senator kerry has distinguished himself as one of our nation's most respected voices on national security and international affairs and chairs the prestigious foreign relations committee. so senator kerry, chairman kerry, we're pleased to have you before our committee today. please go ahead, sir. >> thank you very much, chairman leahy, for those kind words of introduction. ranking member sessions and to all my colleagues on the important judiciary committee at this important moment. members of the committee, mr.

we tried very hard from day one actually up until we locked picture. i was so determined that i was going to include them in this film. and i thought it was very important, their vision for public education going forward. >> why not? why wouldn't they talk? >> well, the reason they gave is that they didn't have time. but i would imagine that over the course of a year they probably just decided that it wasn't worthwhile. i mean, you know, this was my first film, so to be fair not very many people wanted to do me any favors. it's very challenging to make a documentary, and one of the most challenging parts is access. and so we worked hard to do it, we gave them many opportunities and said anybody is welcomed to come speak. and they decided not to. >> you sit outside watching this documenty, the traditional lineups of democrats and unions don't work. i mean, help me on that one. she's a democrat. >> yep. >> and she wants to -- she doesn't like a lot of the things the unions do. she's talking about a 600-page contract. >> there's a lot of things in the con

the guy who locked himself out of his car bomb. i mean, al qaeda is not exactly playing the a-team here. remember the christmas day bomber, couldn't blow up his pants. this guy couldn't make gasoline explode. you know, let's spend, you know, a trillion dollars and two-thirds of our military fighting these people. i don't understand that view of it. i think john kerry said it well in the 2004 election when he ran on this idea that terrorism is best fought with law enforcement, with the spy agencies. that's how you fight this you don't fight it with an army. and you know, they have been very disappointing that this president -- >> why do you think he does support it so much? >> because i think he can't lose the right-wing that much, because i think he feels like he is pulling out of iraq and the democrats are already seen as a party that's soft on war, soft to on the macho stuff. so he has to have some war going. he can't just pull out. but i think it is kind of sin knackle to say, okay, we are going to double-down on this but we are

to get to the uranium would have required penetrating more layers of security-- fences, cameras and locksn be sure of is that the gunmen had no trouble with the first fence, and didn't seem worried about the obvious camera there. do you have any concern that these men had inside help? >> adam: that did cross our minds. and we put out a reward. we haven't had any takers, to this point. >> pelley: there have been multiple investigations, but we were surprised to find out that the police didn't talk to their prime eyewitness until we showed up. they didn't talk to you for ten months? >> gerber: nothing. >> pelley: you're the only eyewitness, you and ria, correct? >> gerber: that is correct, yeah. >> pelley: doesn't seem like they wanted to hear your story. >> gerber: yeah, that is... it is strange for me as well. >> pelley: the u.s. government is worried. it's offering to help secure pelindaba and convert its highly enriched uranium into a form that won't explode. ambassador abdul minty, south africa's nuclear policy advisor, gave us his government's answer. >> minty: why should we get rid o

i've had her locked up in the house for the past two weeks. >> reporter: the health interest of people in the gulf was on the minds of several hundred doctors and sciences gathered this week. it was aimed at assessing the human health effects of the spill. there was widespread agreement that the problem is what science knows about the problem but what it does not. dr. nicole laurie is the department of health and human services assistant secretary for preparedness and response. >> the experience that we've had with dealing with so many other disasters prepares us to some extent but not, maybe, as well as we would like for what to expect in either the short- or long-term health consequences. >> reporter: dr. bernard goldsteen from the university of pittsburgh says he's most concerned about those involved in the cleanup operations. >> the kind of organization ans we worry about are the respiratory tract-- people inhaling the-- and they affect the nose and eyes and upper respiratory track so they'll develop a cough. some people have skin reactions when you put certain types of petroleum h

he locked his key in the car. he made himself easy to find. he immediately started cooperating after his arrest. i think today he wanted to make clear at least to his followers and perhaps to himself that he saw himself as a warrior not a bumbler and not a criminal. and he does represent the latest in a disturbing series of cases of radicalization of individuals who had long lives in the united states. shahzad was a simulated for many years that he lived in the u.s., and the number of these cases has picked up over the last 18 months. they have been around from time to time over the last 20 years but there's a new pattern that's disturbing. >> woodruff: and how concerned is the u.s. government about this some. >> i think significantly. i think for the first time since 9/11 over the last year or so, there's discourse inside the government about how to prevent these sorts of cases and not just about how to detect them and bring people to justice. immediately after 9/11, it's obviously was a question as to whether domestic radicalization would be

surely if a cement bond lock was ever necessary, it would be in a nightmare well situation. but sending the team home, bp saved $100,000 and nine or ten hours of work. mr. hayward, i hope you're here today to answer questions about the decision made on deep water horizon that led to this tragic and deadly blowout. earlier this week, this committee sent you a letter with detailed information about topics we would like you to address today. in reviewing your statements submitted for today's hearing, i'm extremely disappointed in your avoidance of the requested topics. i certainly hope that you use the opportunity today to answer our questions openly and truthfully. i know bp committed to clean up the gulf region and i expect that commitment to be ongoing. i welcome your pledge to pay damps through a $20 billion escrow fund but that's just the tip of the iceberg. rebuilding the public's trust in your company and your industry will take years and many serious changes in the way you do business. when you operate on our land and in our waters, you're only there because the public'

i think it is time right now to decide -- lock this down and say to bp, you say you will cover costs. all right. put some money, whether an escrow fund or some other fund3 there is a judgment made about claims of people know where to submit claims, what the criteria might be and how the claims are paid. host: what is the mood of your colleagues? guest: pretty much of the american people. enormous frustration. this was not supposed to happen. this is a very complicated system to drill a mile below the surface of the water. and you go down several miles more on the ocean bed to search for oil. but every single day we learn more. today the headline n the paper is bp didn't handle all the regulations, took short cuts and so on. the biggest frustration, of course, is this gusher keeps gushing. in many ways, it hardly should be called a spill. this is not a spill. this is a gusher that is enormously frustrating to everybody because i think everybody would like to stop it. but it has not been able to be stopped at this point. host: this is the headline -- the lead story of "the washington po
