than what the state was telling, which was all their side, nelson mandela was their terrorist, where as the english language, and the african language media were telling a completely different story and were showing the abuses and the killings that was going on and the utter wrongness as an apart tide situation. that couldn't solve it on their own. there was too much lopsided power. over the years journalist kept taking the story to the next level, the next level, and the next level until businesses got involved. governments got involved, sanctions, business sanctions, economic sanctions, until finally.

because in the eloquent words of nelson mandela, overcoming poverty is an act of justice. it is the protection of a fundamental human right. the right to dignity and a decent life. poverty, he said, is man made, and it can be overcome by the acts of human beings. now, the low-wage workers, they come to us in circumstances that are among the most precarious, and yet the most fixable of all poverty related conditions. what they require is a decent wage, health care, disability accommodations, and relief from discrimination and financial exploitation. some of our clients are particularly vulnerable to poverty because they don't fit precisely in the categories of people the law protects. so, for example, when a woman is fired from her job, not because of gnder or race but because she's a victim of stalking and domestic violence and then is subsequently denied her unemployment benefits, we ensure that those benefits are restored and her income is protected. still, other victims of poverty fall into that vulnerability because of a health crisis such as the woman who was fired li

where is nelson mandela? the leadership is distributed. there are not a go-to leaders are around whom the country will rally -- there are not go to the leaders. there are institutions, as in poland with the solidarity movement, behind whom a new government can be formed. it presents enormous challenges to the state department. it presents even bigger challenge is, frankly, to the people in a country that has just overthrown its ruler and has to then ask itself -- now what? who is going to lead us? there are both good aspects and negative aspects to the role of the internet in propelling these movements. >> you mentioned robert for's work with social media in syria, which he has kept up even since the embassy has been closed -- robert ford's work. to what extent can those virtual indices fulfill the role of an actual embassy, and where do they fall short? >> they fall well short of what a real, traditional embassy can do. what facebook does not do is replace the very necessary work of engaging face-to-face. i do think that we are able to be

really never knew any other story other than what the state was telling, which was all their side, nelson mandela was their terrorist, where as the english language, and the african language media were telling a completely different story and were showing the abuses and the killings that was going on and the utter wrongness as an apart tide situation. that couldn't solve it on their own. there was too much lopsided power. over the years journalist kept taking the story to the next level, the next level, and the next level until businesses got involved. governments got involved, sanctions, business sanctions, economic sanctions, until finally. what if knob knew that information. what if nobody ever challenged the structure. what if nobody ever told the story of steve who was beaten to death in the jail cell? nobody could have acted. so this is one more way in media played a role in transforming something important from racist system to a multiracial democracy. northern ireland we see journalist actually helping to bring about a peace process. i want to leave time for questions. so -- we focus on t

i was in the backyard with nelson mandela the day after he got released.sat with him the next 30 days. this is a man who had been in prison for more than 35 years and you would have thought he would have been on a three-day holid holiday. he was o eloquent, calm and wise and good humor. he teased the crew about their microphones looking like a shotgun crew. gorbachev, we did it with sim ul translation. we should have more time to rock and roll on the differences. the interview we did was an introduction of him to this country in so many ways. >> thank you very much for this time. >> and once again, let me take -- of this opportunity to say to my american viewers until we meet on american soil. >> one of my favorite stories about gorbachev is tenth anniversary of the fall of the berlin wall. i had a favorite polish camera man with me who makes home maid lemon vodka. gorbachev told him no more drinking, then says my doctor says i should not drink, except lemon vodka. so we had a great toast to world peace. everybody wants to be a star and be a star now. and

never knew any other story other than what the state was telling them which was all their side nelson mandela was the token terrorist. where as the english language and the african language media were telling a cleatly different story. and we're showing the abuses and the killing that was going on and the utter wrongness of an appar tide society. they couldn't solve that alone in south africa. there was too much lopsided power. over the years, journalists kept taking the story to the next level and the next level, and the next level untilrd businesses got involved governments got involved, sanctions, business sanctions, economic sanctions, until finally decades and decades and decades later we see the transformation in south africa. what if nobody knew that information? what if nobody ever challenged the apartied structure. what if nobody ever told the story of the go beaten to death in the jail cell? nobody could have ability -- acted. this is one more example of how media plays a role in transforming something very importanten from appartied racism system to a multiracial democracy. norther

might compare him to mandel of -- nelson mandela. barack obama was not that he was driving drunk in kenya and killed a man in a drunk driving accident. this is not the real barack obama but this was cultivated in obama's mind. and his dad was not like that. and this great dad of ours was not the guy you think he was and obama has a crisis. one of the pivotal scenes in our film is when obama sort of reconciles with his father and as in -- sir of accepting his father with all his flaws and flatly rejecting him and what he does is splits the difference. he divides his father into two. good father and bad father and he says i will not be like my father as a man. i am not going to copy his personality. i am going to take his dream. i will adopt his ideals and make them mine and carry them out. this is barack obama's if you will anti colonial dream. interestingly throughout his life obama sought out a bunch of guys, obama founding fathers. you won't find madison and jefferson on that list. these are the guys obama sought out. to and from i

nelson mandela once said to be ee is noterelyoasf s chains, but to live in a way that respects and enhances the freedom of others. [ apause trueemcyem citizens cannot be thrown in jail because of what they believe. and that businesses can be opened without paying a bribe. it dends on the freedom of citizens to speak their minds and assemble without fear. and on the rule of law a d presatuaeee rights of all people. in other words, true democracy, real freedom, is hard work. those inou power have to resist the temptation to crack down on dissidents. inard onomic times, trs mu be tempted -- may be tempted to rally the people around perceived enemies at home and abroad rather than focusing on the painstaking work of reform. moreover, there will always be those that rt n re diors who cling to power, corrupt interests that depend on the statuses company. and extremists who f the flames of hate and division. from northern ireland to south asia, from africa to the ntseto t pacific rim, we've witnessed convulsions that can accompany transitions to a new political order. at time the conicts a rise lo

roots, mostly popular, mostly authentic, they didn't develop charismatic leadership that can nelson mandelago out there and say this is wrong, we need to stop it. >> brown: larry pintak, when you think about what could calm things down, we also saw on that early clip u.s. kind of ad, with the president and secretary clinton being put on pakistani tv. how unusual is something like that? how effective might something like that be? >> well, i think in this case it is a good step. how effective ultimately it will be we'll see. but i mean it's certainly much better. we had the old shared values. what i call the happy muslim ads under the bush era telling muslim, the muslim world how wonderful it is for muslims in america. and that directly had a counterveiling effect. this can have an effect. let me go back to one thing that shibley said. this issue of free speech and the concepts of free speech in the muslim world. when we talk to journalists, we do surveys of journalists in the arab world. they all talk about the need for objectivity. but there is also a strong feeling that journalism must be

he doesn't have the status of a nelson mandela.d up there and take the nation in any direction he wants. he was elected afterwards in a close election. he has not been a rainmaker. he has not been able to bring a lot of money to egypt to address its problems. he's a politician. he's taking the mood of the street. he sees the frustration building up. it's much easier to ride with it. right now he's caution between a stone and a hard place. there's enormous pressure on the united states to show backbone and stand up to public opinion. on the other side he has very little to offer the egyptians right now. the greatest latitude we can give morsi is money. egypt needs money. egypt needs enormous amount of money to build its economy torque change its economy. instead of that we're threatening to cut off foreign aid. that's not going to give morsi any latitude with this public. >> there's lots of reasons america is hated in the region. i want to talk about is there an imaginable future where america is not the hated villain on the region

where's thomas jefferson, where's nelson mandela? you know, the leadership is distributed.there aren't go-to leaders around whom the country will rally. there aren't institutions as there was in poland with the solidarity movement. behind whom a new government can be formed. so it presents enormous challenges to the state department, it presents even bigger challenges, frankly, to the people and a country that's just overthrown its ruler and has to then ask itself, now what? who is going to lead us? so there are both good aspects and negative aspects to the role of the internet in propelling these movements. >> host: you mentioned robert ford's work with social media in syria which he's kept up even since the embassy's been closed there, you've also established a virtual embassy in tehran, to what extent can they fulfill the role of the physical embassy, and where do they fall short? >> guest: look, they fall short of what a real, traditional embassy can do because it doesn't replace the necessary work of engaging face to face. i do think we're able to be able to engage wit

nelson mandela won said, to be free is not merely to cast off once change but to the lives and a wayt respects and enhances the freedom of others. true democracy demands that citizens cannot be thrown in jail for what they believe. businesses can be open without paying a bribe. it depends on the freedom of split citizens to speak their minds and assemble without for freer. under the rule of law and the process they dared take guarantees the rights of all people. in other words true democracy real freedom is hard work. those in power have to resist the temptation to crack down on dissidents. in hard economic times countries must be tempted must from perceived enemies at home and abroad rather than focusing on the painstaking work that must be performed. where there were always being those average of human progress. dictators to cling to power corrupt interest that depend upon the status quo and extremist who fan the flames of hate and division. from northern ireland to south asia from africa to the americas from the balkans to the pacific we have written this convulsions that the comp
