is this texas could i speak to mr case. we don't wish to comment on a t.v. program about our politics our presence or activities in africa. there. are you still importing cotangent eastern congo you can go yes. and you know where it comes from. yes we make our checks we have our information and we do know where it comes from. we take the necessary measures to ensure that our suppliers check for us they're very sensitive about that kind of thing. according to track says the coltan brought in the congo could under no circumstances come from a war zone but trixie's own supplier sees it differently security seals will be it's difficult to distinguish between what is good and what is bad this gives whether the minerals have been sold by an armed group or not that is going to be because in the mining zones you have the local population who work in the mines and to sell to the dealers is fine build up the south and it will say yeah and in the end you don't know what is come by and on band and what is not what's the fuss if you hear it but it is out of me. it's very

that was mrs bhutto talking about the case obviously she will have more to say in the days to come after mr badlands in the us and it becomes clearer how the government will proceed with the legal case against him what you and a lot of you said to us earlier and in light of what mrs gould just said what can we expect to happen next in this case. well mr byrd was. arrested here in a sting operation in march two thousand and eight with u.s. undercover agents posing as colombian guerrillas they allege that missed the boat off at the seldom rockets among other weapons but really there was no clear evidence of this legal experts say the difference between saying they're going to do something and showing any means of being able to deliver that is very different not just mr boots lawyers but many legal experts claim the case is very weak now what they people really expect is going on here is that the u.s. have a very strong interest involved they believe mr putin knows about russia's military and intelligence operations throughout the world. right j. barton thanks very much indeed for bringing

that was mrs bird talking about the case obviously when mr boo touches down in the u.s. the legal team sees how the legal case against him will proceed we'll be hearing a lot more from her and mr bird's legal team. well jack what developments can we expect in a can we expect to happen next. most people say the case is quite weak that's not just mr bird's legal team but that's the broad opinion of the legal community he was arrested here in a sting operation by us on the cover agents working in cooperation with the thai agents but really it was a promise that they received a promise to deliver rockets and other weapons but there was no real physical evidence of how that would happen or no details about how mr boat would or could do that so the case they think is very flimsy what many people believe this is really about is to boot alleged extensive knowledge of russia's military and intelligence operations. what most people believe is that america wants access to this information and that's what this case is really all about. roger barr thanks very much indeed for bringing

we all know before we invaded case, mr. here were weapons of mass destruction, right? >> right now, iraq is expanding and improving facilities that were used for the production of biological weapons. >> saddam hussein is harboring terrorists and the instruments of terror, the instruments of mass death and destruction. >> we cannot wait for the final proof, the smoking gun that could come in a mushroom cloud. our intelligence officials estimate that saddam hussein had the materials to produce as much as 500 tons of sarin, mustard and vx nerve agent. intelligence gathered by this and other governments leaves no doubt that the iraqi regime continues to possess and conceal some of the most lethal weapons ever devised. >> except for all the doubt. we also all know, including president bush himself knowing, that when he assigned a study group to look for weapon of mass destruction after we invaded, the iraq study group found nothing. if you're george w. bush now, say, writing a book, you don't have to go back and read the big old

case. i want to invite mr. mcfeely and miss storkman to make a few comments. before i do, i want to express my appreciation to the prosecutors and investigators who have been conducting this case and the u.s. attorneys office,cy -- assistant u.s. attorney and those conducting the investigation. the work that has been done by fbi and irs agents. it is our practice not to name them but they who they are and they have been doing an extraordinary amount of work this recent days and weeks as a result of the fast-moving nature of this investigation. >> thank you. i will be very brief. today we partially took down what we term the covert phase of an investigation that has lasted for many years and involved a multitude of investigative techniques. over the next few months, fbi and irs agents will be conducting interviews with individuals that we believe have information relative to this ongoing investigation. our message is clear. if you have any information regarding a paid to play scheme in this county or this state, it is far better for you to talk to us now than fo

happen or no details about how mr we're all could do that so the case they think is very flimsy what many people believe this is really about is mr boots alleged extensive knowledge of russia's military and intelligence operations. what most people believe is that america wants access to this information and that's what this case is really all about. journalists and well u.s. and afghan officials are trying to downplay potential fallout between the two countries this comes after president hamid karzai slammed washington's was in afghanistan karzai demanded the u.s. led coalition to reduce its military operations in the country he also called for an end to night raids against suspected taliban commanders which often result in civilian casualties but the u.s. a state secretary hillary clinton says the surgical strikes are key to winning the war the exchange of statements comes just days before a crucial nato summit with the alliance expected to set a deadline for ending combat operations in afghanistan in two thousand and fourteen but as our teams as you heard reports america's rules of

was no real physical evidence of how that would happen or no details about how mr burt would all could do that so the case they think is very flimsy what many people believe this is really about is that mr boots alleged extensive knowledge of all brushes military and intelligence operations. what most people believe is that america wants access to this information and that's what this case is really all about. journalists reporting victor bhutto denies everything the u.s. accuses him of he says he won't get a fred trial in america while he's already inspired a hollywood movie as a kid when i was out of my reports people on the planet hollywood florida who are there over five hundred fifty million firearms in world wide circulation that's one firearm for every twelve people on the planet. the only question is. how do we were in the other eleven and he's alleged real life prototype russian businessman you think that a brute nicknamed the merchant of death did own like easy engines and laughed off parallels. very sort of formula scheduling the to play this sort of law for this very silly and i feel pity for

was no real physical evidence of how that would happen or no details about how mr coote would or could do that so the case they think is very flimsy what many people believe this is really about is mr boots alleged extensive knowledge of brushes military and intelligence operations. what most people believe is that america wants access to this information and that's what this case is really all about. reporter jackpot and now if europe's single currency fails so will the union itself the warning comes from the e.u. president who was speaking ahead of the meeting of the euro zone's finance ministers ireland and portugal appear most at risk and could be forced to use e.u. bailout money to save them from bankruptcy portugal's foreign minister says his country may even be forced to quit the euro let's now talk about europe's crisis with financial analyst max kaiser the man loved by the people hated by the banks and hello to you so tell me do you believe the e.u. really is in danger of collapsing. well why doesn't the e.u. investigate well let me explain something the e.u. right now is investigating criminal a

case. i don't think mr. rangel's case really affects ms. waters but if put more of a light on the democrats in that this has been a hard year for them, a hard election and on top of this, the last acts they're going to have to do is stand in judgment of their own. >> all right, shawna thomas, always good to see you. thank you so much. >> thanks, chris. >>> mitch mcconnell has flipped going from support to a year-end compromise to opposing it. if the gop could hold off the democrats, it could give them leverage, big leverage when they take control of the house against the budget priorities. here's the worse-case scenario a government shut down already being talked about by a prominent and influential republican. governor, let me start with you. is this part of the gop agenda intie everything up that's in the lame duck session and then gives him a better chance of getting what they want next year. >> well, good morning, chris. no, i don't think so. how many times do you put your hand on a hot oven? this was attempted in 1995 to great embarras

. >> in that case mr. lindsey with respect to filbert street, we would be expecting new materials to come to us? >> there would be a revised plan which would be reduction in the project. >> it's just for storage reasons, whether we should keep these or not. >> i would say you can keep the bulk of them, but maybe get rid of the plans. clerk: commissioners, the motion is for continuance of item 1, from 1556 tock southern, and for item 13, 2774-2776filbert to december 16th. on that motion -- [ roll call ] clerk: thank you. those items have been continued as we have indicated. commissioners, the next category is consent calendar, consisting of one item, item 2. it is considered to be routine and would be acted on by a simple roll call of the commission. there would be no discussion of this item unless a member of the commission, the public or staff so requests. in that event the matter would be removed from consent calendar and considered at a separate item at this or future hearing. item 2, case 2009.0770c, f

exports come to this region, the case mr. obama has been making on this asia tour is that the global markets as they open up, there is more opportunity for u.s. jobs creating jobs back at home. but some here are worried that the united states is coming with its hands outlooking for jobs back at home. they wonder what are they getting in return? mr. obama addressed that issue speaking to business leaders today. >> i make no apologies for doing whatever i can to bring those jobs and industries to america. but what i've also said throughout this trip is that in the 21st century there is no need to view trade, commerce, or economic growth as zero sum gains where one country always has to prosper at the expense of another. if we work together, and act together, strengthening our economic ties can be a win-win for all of our nations. >> reporter: the headlines have not been favorable for the obama administration. words like disappoint, setback because the u.s. was not able to make any real progress on the china currency issue. we a

mr. president, commissioner marshall has a case already signed on this matter so with your indulgence, we will assign this to commissioner marshall. i've been in contact with council on this matter. no other commission announcements that i have a this time. >> the next item. >> scheduling of items identified france of it -- for consideration of future commission meetings. the commission will be holding its medal of valor ceremony on december 15th and we will make the final arrangements later. that is one day and the titular that we do have. >> i know there was some discussion last week regarding the general order about using deadly force and i know that we have had some conversations whether that should be enclosed session but we really need to move with that. i know that we tentatively have that set for the eighth. i am asking that we prepared to move forward with that and move forward without as needed. this is something that we really need to address and i understand the issues out there. i've spoken to one other commissioner about this but i think that we need to move on this sooner t

because the case against mr.ones hinged on the jury believing that he was there, because of that hair that was found at the scene, mr. jones asked that the hair be dna tested before he was executed by the state of texas. the state of texas turned down that request. that request for dna testing was actually made to then governor george w. bush. governor bush had a system in place in his office in which state lawyers prepared short summaries for him about prisoners who were due to be executed. mr. bush used those summaries to make a thumbs up or thumbs down decision on executions. life and death decisions. even though mr. bush had previously straighted that he was in favor of dna testing, ahead of executions in capital cases the summary his staff gave him of claude jones' case left out, neglected to mention that jones had requested a dna test of that crucial piece of evidence. mr. bush just read the summary presumably, didn't look into it any further, in any event he gave the executioner the thumbs up and on decemb

mr boot pled not guilty on all of the charges when the u.s. attorney however was addressing the press in new york speaking for about ten to fifteen minutes about the case that they are building against mr vick to move to the russian businessman and outlining specifically the charges let's take a listen to what he had to say now stands charged in this district the southern district of new york with four charges. one conspiring to kill united states nationals two conspiring to kill united states officers and employees three conspiring to use and acquire anti-aircraft missiles and for conspiring to provide material support to the fark what's interesting to know and to underscore is that during this press conference the us attorney and the head of the da continued to paint a picture of victor boot one of the most dangerous men in the world a man who sides with violence who sides with the war who sides against the united states they were firsthand as the so-called merchant of death and then at the end of their press conference they want to remind everyone that victor boot remains innocent until proven guilty in assuring the press that he will receive a fair

case. but even you, mr. bonner, might think it would be fair to point out that the record would indicate that the landlord solicited me for that fourth apartment, that the apartment had been vacant as other apartments had been throughout the building, and that was the -- with the exception of the zoning law mentioned by counsel, it was determined there was no violations of any agreements. and the person that the lease was made to said that he wanted me there. and that my leaving there would have destablized the apartment. but again, since you referred to the appearance of favoritism , i can't get into that subjective feeling about the appearances of people. i did not know i was on a special list. and i don't think anyone, what did i gain as a result of being on that list because if there was appearances, it was with the staff. in any event, again, the fact that for 17 years, taxes were paid to the dominican republic, has nothing to do with the facts in this case as it relates to my conduct. but i would belie

case. well. mr boots wife is and his lawyers have complained that getting a fair trial in the united states is going to be highly unlikely the charges in the u.s. terrorism charges related to allegations of arms trafficking to fog guerrillas in colombia but his lawyers say that there's very little substantial evidence to really indicate him in this and what experts and his lawyer is really saying is that they want access to mr berry especially the intelligence experts here believe or at least the u.s. believes that mr boot has extensive knowledge on russia's military and intelligence operations they want him in custody so they can find out all what he knows about these operations rajan bharti thanks very much indeed for bringing us the latest from bangkok. u.s. and afghan officials are trying to downplay a potential fall between the two countries this comes after president hamid karzai slammed washington's war tactics in afghanistan karzai to me out of the u.s. led coalition to reduce its military o

i am not here to retry the case, but even you, mr. bonner, might think it would be fair to point out that the record would indicate that the landlord solicited need for that fourth apartment, that the apartment has been vacant as other apartments had been vacant throughout the building, and that was the exception of this on wall mentioned by counsel. it was determined there is no violation of any agreement, since the person that the lease was made to said that he wanted me there, and that my leaving their would destabilize the apartments. but since you refer to the appearance of favoritism, i cannot get that subjective feeling about the appearances of people. but did not know i was on a special list. what did i gain as a result of being on that list, because -- in any event, again, the fact that for 17 years taxes were paid to the dominican republic has nothing to do with the facts in this case as it relates to my conduct, but i would believe that the accountant at testified would have shared with you how mistakes were made that i ass

mr. welch. >> thank you, madam chair. this is an extraordinarily important case for the institution d for mr. rangel. the facts are relatively simple. there was improper solicitation. mr. rangel should not have used his staff and his office to solicit funds, even though the funds being solicited or for a private, nonprofit educational institution, something he has acknowledged. he should not have been solicitingefore someone who had business before his committee in congress where it was very apparent that there would be a conflict. we will come back to that in a moment. rent stabilization is something he was not entitled to and benefited by. the taxes, obviously, were due and he did not pay them. mr. rangel has candidly of knowledge in eachase that his record keeping was sloppy, that he breached his responsibity. his defense is essentially not a defense, because failing to meet your oigation whether adipocere accident or intention does not abrogate your -- whether out of accident or intention does not abdicate your responsibility. members of this body to solicit or educational institutions that are n

mr. paul coming and making a case -- i won't repeat, she was very eloquent and i find myself between those two positions and i was wonder if the supervisor had given that particular thought because i don't see it in this current writing. >> the i.m.p. process is outlined fairly clearly in the code and was amended to be clearer four years ago. the process is triggered if you are a post-secondary educational institution or medical institution. those two types of uses must file an i.m.p., profit or nonprofit. if you are triggered to do that, those are the base triggers for an i.m.p. that has to be developed and come to this commission for approval and you close the comment period on it. so all of those would be triggered. commissioner moore: thank you for clarifying that. the second part of my question, the nonprofit versus for-profits and how do we look at that? whether there was any thought of this. you could listen to both arguments, but we have had so many heartbreaks here that we are probably reluctant to support the for-profit groups. president miguel: one more time. >> i'm not familiar
