margaret thatcher foundation. he delivered a speech which i think should be taken as the first full throated public expression of thatcherism. and the title of the speech, interesting, that title is this is not the time to be mealymouthed, intervention is destroying us. the signature of the conservative party at this time was being mealymouthed, an unwillingness to separate say what was true to the electorate. for fear of not wanting to alienate, not wanting to seem too radical, not being able to govern. he just came out and said it. look around you, intervention is destroying us. i believe this is obvious to most americans. i've only been on the ground of the united states for a few days living in turkey but i got off the plane and everyone i'm sticking to it saying something terrible is happening here. and people are not stupid. they are noticing that all this innovation does not seem to be doing any good, but they are not really understand the connection between the intervention and things getting worse rather

margaret warner in cairo. >> people were pretty quiet and then suddenly you could see the deflation and then the anger. >> lehrer: we have two egypt analysts to explain what mubarak's speech means. >> brown: and we discuss the situation with former presidential national security advisors zbigniew brzezinski and stephen hadley. >> lehrer: then, republican darrell issa and democrat elijah cummings debate the push to ease government regulation of business. >> we're going to have to do more with the president to really find ways to reduce the size of the burden of government to get people working again. >> i want jobs very badly, but i also want when people go to work, i want to know that they're going to come home because they're working in a safe environment. >> lehrer: that's all ahead on tonight's "newshour." major funding for the pbs newshour has been provided by: >> you can't manufacture pride, but pride builds great cars. and you'll find in the people at toyota, all across america. >> okay, listen. somebody

margaret warner in cairo. thanks so much. >>arner: thanks, jeff. >> brown: more now, from two people who've helped us analyze all this these past two weeks: samer shehata, assistant professor of arab politics, at georgetown university and mary jane deeb chief of the african and middle east division at the library of congress. the views she expresses here are her own. samer shehata, this was not the speech that most people were expecting, what did you hear? what jumped out at you? >> well, there wasn't that much to the speech. this is the third time hosni mubarak has spoken. this is the third time the egyptians have expected him to resign or leave and the third time egyptians have been disappointed, in fact, shocked, outraged as margaret mention. ed so the details weren't important. he talked about this supposed quote/unquote dialogue with a group of opposition, quite broad and so on, he talked about youth and constitutional amendments, specific constitutional amendments having to do with restrictions on presidential candidacy

thank you margaret. doctor tom wenz, he's is an expert if anger management and substance abuse treatment and has worked with with many youth throughout his career. he came to me through george anderson who runs an anger management firm. they have taken the science of conflict mediation and made it into an accessible discipline for trainers, people who are working with young people throughout the state and throughout the county. do you know that there's only, i think now one state that mandates anger management in the school and it was texas. and it's only been within the last year. doctor wenz is an advocate. he's also a vietnam veteran who saw many people suffer from substance abuse in the wake of that war and conflict and has a tremendous amount of experience. he as a doctorate. a master's degree in working with children and works in his own consulting business as well. doctor tomas wenz. >> angela chan as worked with san francisco and community based organization in the area of violence reduction and

. >> i want first to introduce margaret cooley who writes nonfiction and poetry. also with us from boston but having stepped off the plain from dublina daniel to be lynn a writer at emer son college. i want to start by reflecting back that those of you folks endeavored to reveal hidden histories of your family lives. we have spoken in advanced of today's conversation. it's clear to me you pursued the stories of your families histories for decades through genealogical work and writing and reflection. i'm wondering if can describe how you dot work you do and where the seeds of your curiousity, how they were planted and want compelled you to do this work. >> i would say that i was have much inspired since i lived in san francisco, california. we are a country of immigrants. in san francisco in particular, we have so many first generation americans. my husband is just became an american citizen a couple of months ago. i have friendlieds who are first generation from vietnam. palestine, israel. mexico, as i watch them struggling with their cultural identities and tryin

so margaret, everybody has been watching this. and i guess one of the questions people have, is when did things turn around? was there any inkling this morning when people got up in cairo that this might be in the offing? >> warner: judy as daytime in cairo it was clear that something more had to be done. another shoe had to drop. because the reaction against president mubarak's speech last night had just been so unanimous at least in tahrir square. we went there in the morning even before friday prayers and there just -- were just hundreds of thousands of people streaming in across bridge, down street, past army tanks, going through the patdowns, getting to the square. and once we got in there, it was clear from talking to all of these demonstrators who had seen the day before, they weren't going to give any-- to mubarak nor his complicated handoff to vice president suleiman and all the constitutional guarantees he was offering. one young woman said to us look, he's been promised enough stuff, things for 30 year, no more promises

. >> i really, i completely agree with margaret. when you look at this list, the reason some schools have this is because those schools go out and hustle funds. we are blessed because d.c. yf. we have the city that helps us. we have prop h. but the reality, the bottom route is our state doesn't fund anything. our problem, frustration as a school districts. they are not opposed to doing what texas has done. we would love to have social emotional communities. we don't even have the money to have a basic teacher in every classroom. california is an out right disgrace. how can we be the eighth richest economy? we're the 8th richest economy and we rank 48th. we will be dead last. that means louisiana. mississippi. every one will fund education. better than the 8th richest. every one of our children deserve this. we aren't walking the talk. the reality is, we talk a good line. but we don't walk the talk. this public, all the citizens. not only in san francisco, but in california better start standing up for our kids. we are not funding it

of course margaret, we want to see those lights on. my specific question is to the new superintendent, i am a representative of the new high school going to bay view, bay view school of social justice. my specific concern is the attendance on back page from the main topic. there's no professional development and it's not monitored by the district. now connect as a capacity of 4 hundred student s and only attendance of 202. thank you. >> you know, one of the problems with that system, i mentioned that people want to have access to go anywhere they k. they bus themselves out. that's really what happened here. when we review this type of system. we're breaking up neighborhoods without the intention of wanting to do that. the intention was good. we wanted to give everybody access to any school. but we now. it's time. years later to revisit that, wait a minute, what are we doing with this system? we are open to that discussion. as you will see in our new strategic plan. our plan is based upon one thing facing america. recently, a couple of

our own margaret warner arrived in cairo earlier today. i spoke with her a short time ago. what can you tell us so far about the security situation and level of violence? >> warner: well, jeff, i just arrived here about noontime. by the time we got out of the airport it was after 5:00 p.m. this was getting through customs and trying to secure our equipment which many reporters have had confiscated. by that time it's after curfew so we are not downtown. we were told about all the violence against westerners, journalists and others and warned not to try to go downtown no matter by how circuitous a route. however, i've talked to a lot of people downtown-- from activists to people in the muslim brotherhood to western observers who were down there-- people do feel trapped inside their hotels or where they're staying. it was actually less... it was actually more peaceful today than it was, say, yesterday, which was really horrific. but there is a great sense of threat and of menace. i did also interview a journalist who was badly harassed and shaken down, a young man who actually

now to margaret warner's report from cairo. she sat down with cal tech professor, an egyptian-american nobel prize winning chemist and one of several unofficial mediators between the egyptian government and the young tahrir square organizers. >> warner: dr. zewail, thank you for joining. >> a pleasure. >> warner: here we sit tuesday two weeks since these demonstrations started. you have the protestors in the square. you have the government holding these other meetings. you're kind of shuttling between them. is this negotiation for real? >> well, i guess your first question is a good one because my level of optimism... by nature i'm an optimist but my level of optimism has been going up and down and up and down. it seems to me that it's very clear that the young people are demanding a major change. they are not really talking about superficial or cosmetics. and therefore the business as usu is just simply not accepted to them. but what they really want to see is a new egypt. >> warner: at least publicly the protestors in the squ
