senior had spent much of his career and nairobi. and then after several days we drove from nairobi across the national highway at all the way up west to a sumo one of the most unforgettable drives of my life. so the point was twofold. one was to find as many people as they could and interview them. i had the help of the wonderful researcher named kenneth o. pilot, was a great canadian journalist in nairobi and he and i have been working on different aspects of good information for many minutes before we got there. we were incredibly lucky to also have a translator who i had meant in the united states who happened to be in kenya and an actor ever come to kenya to a german for "washington post." >> host: how might interviews did you do? >> guest: i ended up doing 40 45. most of them during those two weeks, a few of them over the phone later and a few of them where people were not available so i provided the questions for ken and he would conduct the interviews. >> host: well, booktv traveled with you to kenya and conducted an intervie

. >> rowland has been to kenya many times, but this is his first visit to the slum in nairobi. around 90,000 people live here. medicine is scarce, and there are only 20 basic doctor surgery to treat those with hiv. is the head of the biotech company that does business with medical centers like this one. he knows how urgently the center needs support. the charity called german doctors gives free treatment to 300 patients here every day. many of them are hiv-positive. they used equipment made by his company to test for the virus. he has brought a gift for the medical center -- a mobile testing machine worth 7000 euros. the device will allow doctors to test patients in remote areas. it is solar powered. memo we are a family company. we have been going for 45 years. we can allow ourselves different priorities to companies driven by investors and shareholders. basically, we can make smaller profits, and we have the advantage of making good money in developed countries. that allows us to take on a charity role here. >> as well as testing for hiv, the machine can give information on w

to go back to nairobi. he went back, called himself doctor even though he never finished his dissertation. he was brilliant. she followed him a few months later, showed up in nairobi, not knowing what she was getting into. >> host: back to your book "barack obama: the story," you write what barack learned was devastating and disillusioning, mythology constructed by his mother was shattered. his missing father was far from what he had been portrayed. not the moral man, not a freedom fighter, not the paul the professional. brilliant but brilliance splintered by drinking, despair, dissolution and disappointment. >> guest: it is amazing to think about ann dunham, her dealings with her son barack. and why she told the story she did is purely out of love. she never said an old word about barack obama senior because she didn't want to destroy this little boy who had enough to deal with in his life. i find it completely understandable why she did this. year by year, started to understand to some degree the reality

embassy, as i said, in both nairobi and kenya were bombed by al qaeda, killing 12 americans and justike benghazi, additional security can requests had been made before the attacks and were denied. with me now edith barkley, white house relatives were in the attack. >> thank you for being here. >> thank you for having me. >> our con dole lenses to you for the lost of your brother and your father. i understand your father was counsel general at the embassy and your brother was in conditioning and was an intern serving at the embassy. >> correct. >> in the 14 years since this has happened, edith, you have fought for the families of diplomats and hoped that the department of state would be able to provide more protection for these diplomats. has anything happened as a result of your fight? >> our fight has been slow, and an uphill battle. we're proud to say that we have great bipartisan support, but 14 years is far too long. it's been extremely frustrating to see that, after the august 7th, 199le, embassy bombings, our public saw clearly the recommendations and findings that came out of

despite those facts, nothing was done to increase security at our embassies in nairobi or tanzania.ollowing that, attack, our late admiral crow was tasked to head up the accountability review board and most disturbing was the fact that within that review report, the recollection takes that were made have not been -- the recommendations made have not been followed it was stayedded in that report that embassy security had not kept up with current law. up until that point. and this problem has compounded. we are seeing similarities with benghazi, and we hope that whoever served as secretary of state in our next congress will make security a top priority. and we hope that finally, families, diplomatic families will once again hopefully the first time really ever, receive a support that they need and the attention they so very much deserve. this is far above politics for us. as families we lost a great deal. diplomatic families make huge sacrifices and they serve with our military abroad, all over the world, hand-in-hand. what has become' increasingly more dangerous environment. >> sean:

. >>> this video is from nairobi, i have to tell you incredibly difficult to watch. you see two men crouching down completely bloodied, then this -- [ speaking foreign language ]. >> why are we watching two defenseless men get beat? >> the poster of this video said that these guys belonged to a criminal group called superpower in this community. on this day they apparently stole a cell phone from someone on the street. the poster of the video said they terrorized that community, and i think that day they just had enough. >> so they're just judge, jury, sentencing in this back room? >> apparently they have no police department, so the people decided they would take care of this issue themselves. you see the men finally able to walk away from where they've been cornered. a store owner did come in and save them from these men. just when you think they're safe, they get taken across the street where their wrists are tied together and they were paraded down the street to humiliate them. >> it is hard to watch. i hate to say this, but i hope this teaches these guys a lesso

>> 400 kilometers away lies kenya's capital nairobi. the certificates are sold from here through a partner company and this man, tom morton. morton sells the certificates mainly to businesses in europe and the us -- companies that want to offset their own carbon emissions. he passes on most of the money about 10 million euros in the past year. tom morton considers the water filter project highly sustainable because it's stringently controlled. >> carbon finance is about being paid for outcomes. and if you get it wrong then you are not paid. and so there is a much greater incentive to have a very robust system in place. >> back to western kenya -- to a sporting field. vestergaard frandsen's employees are spreading good cheer. they've organized a football tournament. football is very popular, especially with young people. the occasion is used to acquaint them with the water filter. vestergaard frandsen wants to expand the project in africa. janet, his instructor, is prepared to go abroad if she's needed. >> as long as i am going to do the

now what, we had the the same thing in nairobi and another report of recommendations how better to securehese sorts of facilities. didn't happen. ten years from now we'll be revisiting this same store of story. >> what they've done is reduced this to a bureaucratic screw-up. and what hasn't been reviewed is what was the u.s. policy in eastern libya. the cia was in eastern libya because they were concerned that al-qaeda was using that part of the country to recruit people into the terrorist organization, now, what was the u.s. state department and obama administration's policy towards libya? between the lines of this report suggested it was reflected in a kind of lig light footprint. they thought libya was going all right. i think there was a break between-- >> a light footprint was explicit policy, maybe not explicit, but after gaddafi fell we washed our hands of libya more or less. had a few state department and cia this. morals said the qataris and united arab emirates, they would take care of arming things and we let them arm the islamists, that's who they support and now the islamists

anyway, so he was kicked out of harvard and went back to nairobi. so he went back. he called himself doctor from then on. he never got his phd. but she found him a few months later. found him in nairobi, not knowing what she was getting into. >> host: back to your book, "barack obama: the story", you write that what barack obama learned was devastating and disillusioning and a fallacy carefully constructed by his mother was shattered. his missing father was far from what he had been betrayed. not the wall man, not a freedom fighter, not a polished professional. brilliant, yes, but drinking and despair and disillusionment and disappointment. >> guest: is quite amazing to think about ann durham support of him and her support of him. and when she told him the story that she did. she never said a little word about his father, barack obama senior. i completely understand why she created this mythology about him. you know, year by year, he started to understand to some degree that the reality have to be different from what he had been told. but it wasn't until he got to k

africa, it was very muchch known by our intelligence community, live, active cells, al-qaeda cells in nairobi as early as 1996 prior to those bombings. it was also noted in the findings and recommendations of that report that our embassy, our state department and our embassy personnel worldwide were not -- were not very well trained to look into and predict or pay attention to the possibility of trans national terrorism. >> let me ask you this. when you heardrd about benghazi, did you have a feeling that oh, myh, god, they haven't learned anything? >> you know, you are stunned but not surprised. what was very troubling was the fact that this occurred on an anniversary date. if we've learned nothing else, we should know that on anniversary dates ofh major terrorist attacks on american soil because our embassies abroad and our installations abroad are american soil, we need to have heightened security. it's t troubling to know that or accountability report not only in 1999 but prior to that, the report specifically stated that our congress and those embassy bombings were a collective failure of

report, you will see in part, recollections from the past in each chapter and the citation to the nairobi recommendation that need to be carried out. we very much agree with the impetus of your question. >> it begs the question of why did that happen? obviously a lot of time is a factor. clearly no specific follow-up overtime. one of the major recommendations was a bill the plan, which fell off from 10 buildings to three, tied to budget constraints. so i think it was a combination of factors. while 1999 is certainly close to this decade, the world has changed dramatically. risks associated with that world are -- we are in a much more difficult and challenging position with respect to meeting the needs to be out there and is engaged in doing so in a way that our people are very specifically secure. >> there is a specific recommendation for a 10-year program at a specific level of funding specifically to meet the point that admiral mullen made that the building program has fallen off any took about to the original target. >> your report was extremely critical of the performance of some indi

john lewis: we met malcolm in nairobi, kenya, at the new stanley hotel. he happened to be staying there-we didn't know he was staying there-and we were also staying there. we were on our way to zambia for their independence celebration. and we had an opportunity to talk and chat with him about what was going on in america. and i think at that time malcolm was seeking to find a way to identify with the southern civil rights movement. he wanted to be helpful, wanted to be supportive. and as a matter of fact, he came to selma. he came to selma, february the 14th, 1965. and we were in jail, including dr. martin luther king jr., and the local authority refused to let him come and meet with us. he spoke at the brown chapel ame church with mrs. king to a group of high school students. and seven days later, he was assassinated. amy goodman: on february 21st, 1965, he was gunned down. rep. john lewis: i will never forget it, because february 21st is my birthday. and i was in a car on my way from southwest georgia. amy goodman: you were 25 years old. rep. john lewi

in 1999 after 220 people were killed at nairobi when they bombed the two u.s. embassies, 4,000 people were wounded. it was the ultimate wake up call. i chaired the hearings and i wrote a law to put -- to authorize security and upgrades for our embassies. much of that has been implemented. we had a thousand diplomatic security people in 1998, and now we have over 3,000 who are dedicated to that mission. unfortunately some of the same people, eric boswell, the assistant secretary, he is one of the ones fired just last week. he was interviewed by the accountability review board in 1999 and 1998 by the admiral. a lot of the same people in the same positions, where was the lessons learned. the biggest open question is what about hillary clinton. his accountability review board has had all kinds of systemic failures as he called it in the president. called it in the report. they interviewed the secretary of state. madeline allbright admitted she was asked repeatedly to upgrade the security. they repeated requests made by the embassy, but they went unheated by the sta

jon, under her husband's tenure we had several embassy bombings in sudan, tanzania, nairobi.id we not learn anything then? with the attack in benghazi there were several warnings this would happen and the ambassador asked for more protection. why didn't get it? jon: yeah, there were warnings as quickly as recently as day before there was going to be trouble. >> exactly. jon: the report says no individuals ignored or violated their duties and it recommended no discipline fairy action but if there were, the screw-ups at the highest level, systemic mistakes, at highest levels of the state department, it almost seems like a whitewash. >> why did people resign? why did your, what was it, your deputy assistants over security actually resign? you had four of them that resigned. so you don't leave your job if you're happy with your job or you did it right. there are some scapegoats, jon, i actually believe resigned and tip. however i think this is the tip of the iceberg. i think you will see more. right after the september 11th attack it was politicized. we had four americans that di

i was afforded the great privilege, i believe, of last autumn, autumn of 2012 in a meeting in nairobiwith the military chiefs of uganda and other countries. they had been directed by their heads of state, you guys figure out the military strategy to get -- defeat al-shabab in mogadishu first and then more broadly across the country. and they did just that. as you might suspect, wild disagreement how to do that. lots of different ideas of the right approach. ultimately they came to the conclusion and said, okay, this is what we're going to recommend back to our heads of state. it was a very, very powerful moment because i was very much a bystander. and they said here's what we need from you, and not surprising. continued financial support, logistic support, training and equipment with the united states through the department of states and intelligence sharing, but it was -- the key is, it was them. it was the african society, what they wanted to do, and saying, okay, if you can help us a little bit, that's a good thing. i think that construct might be the right construct for mali as we
