mission around a broad range of stakeholders including governments, international organizations and ngos. reinforcing assistance to africa in particular, where this is slow. attaining the mdgs africa is an important pillar. japan is enhancing its effort in this field. in order to do this, they are doubling and providing support. the second area is the global environment. at the u.n. summit on climate change, japan announced a target of reducing emissions by 25% by 200020 compared to the 2000 level. all major economies participated. [unintelligible] there is a new legally binding document and we will continue to coordinate with other states and the united nations to lead international organizations with this. it will also support countries in the negative impact and those that are taking mitigating measures such as reducing emissions in a partnership with the public and private sectors. next month, there was a theme of living in harmony with nature. at this meeting, we must come to agreement on commencing new actions in order to halt the loss of biodiversity. the biggest challenges in thi

what we provided was support for the electoral process, and the united nations, ngos associated with them, certainly help in the process as well. it ran well, and the iraqi people -- unfortunately, when we look at the situation in afghanistan, the focus was not there like it was with iraq in terms of making sure the elections were fair and executed well. i think we are paying a price for that today. host: raleigh, north carolina, democrats' line. are you there? caller: yes. host: you are on the air. caller: i have a question that is burning me. i do not understand why this representative says he is such a bleeding heart for the iraqis, and yet we have hundreds of thousands of people in america who cannot even go to the doctor because they cannot afford it, and yet he is opposed to that. he is opposed to any help, and yet he keeps spending about religion. my bible says that charity begins at home, and then spreads abroad. one more question -- if our troops are going to be there, why can't iraq finance it? they can afford it but why do we have to -- they can afford it. what we have to

it's kind of like the a-team that goes into humanitarian crises the world over and does what a lot of ngos because of their military background, were they a particular target from the taliban? or did the taliban not want to mess with them? >> i'll tell you, john. what team rubicon did is increasingly what all aid organizations have to do, which is they have security procedures and operational security procedures to protect themselves. and whether you're with the u.n., whether you're with doctors without borders, what you're finding increasingly is that the aid has to be accompanied by a massive security apparatus. and again, this has the perception of contributing to this idea that they're not neutral actors. it's hard to deliver food when you're surrounded by armed guards. >> kaj larsen, great series of reports, and welcome back. >>> coming up, will the religious right join forces with the tea party to pile on democrats in the midterm elections? the view from this week, values voters summit just ahead. impressive resume. thank you. you know what, tell me, what makes peter, peter ? well, i

i really think even the head of parliament, when a number of ngo's came out to tell him he was violating the constitution, he admitted that if he was taken to the supreme court, he would plead guilty to have violated the constitution. >> i think after that comment, there probably will be a court date brought against him. we will see what happens. >> i cannot think of two people i would rather hear talk about iraq than the two of you. a comment first. seems to me what was said about initial intervention amounted to was concerned that the current constitutional system may not persist. it seems to me that that is behind a lot of the problem you are facing in government formation. these guys are worried that this is their last chance at power. the question is whether there is any way of alleviating some of that concern. we have done that in other situations post-conflict. it is not an unusual concern. iraq is a particularly difficult place because foreign intervention is not all that welcome, but have you thought about ways in which we could try to ease the concern that the constitutional sy

it's not me, it's the ngo.n. >> a quick number here, so far out of $5 billion pledged only 18% of that has been dispersed. that's just part of the reason why there is still some 1.5 million people still living in those temporary camps. and why much of the rubble has not been cleared and why more rebuilding has not gotten under way. >> it compounds the tragedy, doesn't it? >> also former bill clinton sitting on the commission as well trying to get the money releaseglp they certainly have a lot of work to do. >> they do. >>> we're following breaking news out of atlanta this morning, bishop eddie long facing new allegations today that he coerced young men into sexual relationships. he has decided that out to respond publicly at this point. he canceled a scheduled radio interview and news conference today. but there is some news this morning. ed lavandera who broke the story is follows developments. and he's joining us live. >> well, it's been an interesting morning already. we went to bed last night essentially be
