india and nigeria. and last year the cases went down substantially everywhere except in pakistan. >> rose: and why was that? >> well, pakistan may not have been counting the cases well in the past so sometimes when you see these increases it's actually better surveillance to find the cases. they had a flood. they have conflict areas. now, eradication has been done in sudan, somalia, angola, all sorts of tough places but pakistan was not that focused and now just a week ago announced a new national emergency plan and i met with many groups from pakistan to see if they're intent on this i was kind of hoping, in fact, that pakistan would just get done while i was taking trips to nigeria which was viewed as the toughest of all the poor countries. the north of nigeria really...? f somebody was pessimistic they would point to that. >> rose: and in fact you went to nigeria and had to make the case yourself because there was some even religious aversion to vaccines. >> yeah. in 2003 it was actually a politician

now, though, we're going to be providing internet access to this village in northern nigeria. so, what happens when we turn the internet on here? >> and off here? [indistinct chattering] >> it's not exactly the information superhighway. [bleating] welcome to the village of gitata, 2 1/2 hours north of the nigerian capital abuja. what strikes you as you arrive in gitata is the fact that it seems so disconnected from even the rest of the country. it's not part of the national electricity grid, so most of the people here get their information through battery-powered radios. only a few of them even have mobile phones. i'm gonna give 2 high-speed internet-enabled mobile phones to 2 individuals in this community and find out how that changes their lives and the lives of the people in gitata. [drum solo playing] the brave new world of broadband has barely penetrated this community. for most of the residents here, the internet is a complete mystery... though english premiership football seems to be surprisingly familiar. who's the top striker in chelsea right now? >> eh? >> the top go

either that, he says, or he'll move to nigeria.re are a few tips when it's time to have that discussion with your older parent. talk to them while they can still drive safely and come up with a transportation alternative. this way, your parent doesn't have to worry about being isolated. but the key, diane, talk about it in advance. maybe even negotiate it, say, when my sister and i say it's time to give up the keys, they agree to give it up. maybe it will work out. >> have the conversation before it -- it's so fraught with meaning. >> reporter: well in advance. >> and someone suggested if the grandkids, come once a week, can drive, a grandmother, grandfather, it's a wonderful thing for both of them. >> reporter: again, make it a negotiation. >> right, a conversation. thank you, ron. >>> and when we come back, a new study about what is in the tap water in your house. what does it mean? another heart attack could be lurking, waiting to strike. a heart attack that's caused by a clot, one that could be fatal. but plavix helps save live

as bill said, we made huge progress in india and nigeria.his gives us a chance to really see that happen. >> we've spoken before about certain technologies that have really made a difference in terms of getting the drugs where they need to be in a timely manner. talk to us about how technology has married with health care. >> well, the vaccine itself is a phenomenal piece of technology. oral polio vaccine which used to cost only 13 cents a dose, the actual logistical chain getting this out is tough because you have to keep it cold. they call it cold chain. and then the tracking to try to figure out where are the kids that you're missing. you have to get almost all the kids. if you miss even 15%, you can't stop the disease. now we can actually look at the dna of the virus and sort of get a sense of where each case came from. and that's making us even smarter about wiping it out. >> and melinda, technology has also enabled education, which is another important area for you. talk to us about where the need is there. >> well, i think there are a

american university of iraq or afghanistan beirut nigeria the list goes on are not seen for more than one hundred years american business leaders have funded christian missionaries to set up universities in foreign countries with valuable resources to exploit those are the words of a new article that takes a deep look at some of the little herd of projects of our wars abroad and in the case of the american university of iraq so the money us specifically the picture is not a pretty one unfinished buildings under-qualified teachers scandals and an overarching monopoly of neoconservative thought before we get into those details don't you wonder what purpose these institutions serve trying to discuss it as russ baker author of family of secrets the bush dynasty america's invisible government and editor of who what why ross thanks so much for joining us now first starters i bet that most americans probably have never heard of and have no idea that there's an american university of iraq why do you think that is. well i myself had not heard of it until. about a year ago in the meeting began

there is a comedy film from nigeria that is pretty hilarious.ou can get to know arabs threw their laughing as well. [speaking in foreign language] >> when you come to see all the diversity, nationality, ethnic, skin color, dialect, anything that you can think of, that world is very rich in diversity. we are trying to represent that diversity so people can see the different parts of the arab world. [speaking in arabic] >> people should participate in the festival because of the benefits they can get. first, the educational benefit of learning about the stories of the arab world. diverse stories. people in the united states sometimes think of the arab world as a lump sum. what is good about the arab film festival is the also have a festival for the school's program, which we have films where we invite free of charge, i schoolers to come and attend. every year, high schoolers to go out really with a good experience, attending and watching these films. the arab film festival is not only about the festival in october. we also have year-round programs

hundreds of demonstrations in nigeria i spoke to a journalist and activist from the capital. i asked whether there were similarities between what was happening in his country and the events in tunisia and egypt. >> we are the same people. we share the same affinities. we have some problems, the same sort of corruption, the same sort of authoritarian regime. the only thing different about how sharia is that algeria has just come out of a very bad civil war. it has seen at 200,000 people killed. we are stuck. we want a change. people@wñ?ñ?ñ?ñ are tired of vi. the other major problem is the only opposition we have is working with the government. there is no one credible that people can look up to and say they want to change the situation. it is terrible. a lot of people want to change, but there is no one to lead this revolution. >> would you argue that perhaps the change was not necessarily about the removal of the president, but a change that goes right to the heart of government, like you alluded to, with the secret service? >> absolutely. it is not just about removing the pr

two hundred dollars for going to nigeria. carl and his three fellow student bombers then stole a van and mixed the explosives together. they drove to the university. inside the van was a kind and a half of explosives. and well i'm. ashamed that you know robert foster died people were injured. but i have no regrets for my motivations for doing it and doing it was a message and we were trying to send it out to the government. after the bombing armstrong fled to canada and was a fugitive for two years. but was then extradited back to wisconsin. his trial was a cause celebre for many in the end i wore a muslim and. he served ten years in prison. sad part about it is that the the research that the claim of the army mass research center was doing was not research for the army at all so in other words this is an act of protest to turn an act of murder absolutely absolutely how to pronounce counterproductive here in madison and probably throughout the united states you know the significance of this is you can take a group of amateurs

. >>> a boom of youth fighting in nigeria isn't cause for concern. tradition has actually become a crowd pleaser. street wrestling has made a recent surge into the spotlight after teens began taking up the sport. the fighters are drawn to the cash prize, but also the skills that they're going to learn in the ring. drummers and music accompany the fights which help promote the sport. >>> well, the ball may have dropped a month ago, but new york is now celebrating0t chinese new year. hundreds of people brave the cold weather to gather in new york city's china town to mark the year of the rabbit. spectators enjoy traditional chinese music and dragon dancing. the fest ifts went out with a bang. confetti flew and firecrackers went off around the crowded streets. >>> well, parts of the country see snowfall as a major inconvenience. these two see it as an inspiration. for the connecticut mechanics turned artists the unrelenting snow has become their canvas. armed with pop sickle sticks and cans of spray paint, the duo has found a way to combat the snow. th

a lot of south asians and koreans, immigrants from nigeria and the caribbean -- i get the nicest e-mails from the population, people who say, "i could not stop laughing. this is exactly how i was raised. my dad was from ghana. he was very tough and said all these things. i owe him so much." the main difference is a huge emphasis on academic excellence. it is pretty tough. you get in 96 out of 100, where as lots of western kids get rewarded. it would be, "where are the missing four points? it does not sound harsh to me. that is how i was raised. it was not like if you do not get a good grade i will not love you. the message was, "i believe in you. you can do better." that should be a real american theme. there is a lot of emphasis on hard work and discipline. some of the hours asian kids can put in an -- two hours a day of violent and pin and a practicing. i have to say i am a little surprised that i have had such an response to this. a friend just mentioned. some western parents are ok with their kids watching two or three hours of reality tv shows. you see teenagers getting pregnant. th

there's hope and god help us it's not here to nigeria. which maybe is possible in this case the european market will rule well and guess from the northern africa is so important for france for for spain. most dangerous to tell and balance off a common around twenty percent of oil italy have from a little bit more than that's not only can i look at. things in the nearest future hundreds of thousands of people can come from tunisia and libya to the territory of european countries what will europeans doing with this well let's hear what prime minister putin had to say about the rising oil prices. we're all nothing good will come out of it so we're very serious because we're not interested in. energy prices growing without limit everything is interrelated and unlike other in producing countries are economies more diversified and we're actually emphasizing in the v. to be destroyed is how can we deal with those but we hope that this will not happen but we like to see that all our projects i mean infrastructure projects to deliver our hydrocarb

concerns iranian arms exports which are also included in the reason than and we have been recently to nigeriato inspect one of these cases of violation of the result. so clearly the fact that iran is given a free way maybe without much control given the situation today through the suez canal is a new development that we will have to certainly keep an eye on and see what and how this. sanctions committee will react to that given the evolving situation. another question sunny i just can't go without asking you this question here you have been a very high ranking french diplomat then you've been the foreign minister of georgia and this you call yours you call your native country in your native language now you are in europe you're an international diplomat no longer a georgian people are does that mean since you were in the opposition actually when the georgian opposition that that you are not going back to georgia and in time soon which means that there's not going to be any political change big political change in in georgia and in terms i have a very strict interpretation of my position as an

it but i think that's going to be a big mission going forward unless we want to invade them in the nigeria and somalia which we don't so what we want to do is go in and train the local forces to impose some sort of law and order. well to save themselves as we've been trying to do in afghanistan which we find fortunately miserably failed well there's a making some progress but the progress is. you know two steps forward one step back they've made a lot of the for a lot of police out on the streets in afghanistan were acting as you paramilitaries . but that there's been no real judicial reform in afghanistan so the police can arrest people but then the court system is a mess word even exists so you can arrest people belong if you can't prosecute them of course i mean it's the same problem of the government of mexico as complex as again paul thank you so much for joining us and we'll see whether this strategy does take hold and thanks very much. well sort of comments and i felt he's known in the t.v. business for his temper about him to stop a cable network today from offering him a new show

oil from azerbaijan is not that much different than oil from nigeria or oil from venezuela, and it's the total pool of oil. and even if the oil from azerbaijan is maybe feeding mostly into western europe, it's still important to us because if they don't have access to that oil, they're going to be looking to gain oil from sources that are primary sources to american energy needs. >> our crisis of confidence, you know, our political correctness in many ways, um, has, it reflects on the world, especially in new countries that look up to us. and this is not a criticism of the united states in terms of our, you know, what we do, human rights and so on. we have to articulate substantively, you know, what we stand for as a civilization and exercise with consistency. >> charles, it's been a long time since the secretary of state initiated the contacts with the countries and the caucasus and the relations have really developed quite slowly. should the u.s. be accelerating that and make a bigger point of trying to reach out to a country like azerbaijan because of its oil and other energy inte

the identified nigeria in africa. south africa seems to be on a better path now, but a lot of their political and economic resurgence was derailed by the aids crisis. nigeria has a special set of challenges, as we all know. both of them occupied a lot of my time when i was president. yet identified poland and the ukraine in europe. poland has done pretty well, but we all know that ukrainians claimed their democracy and then had a terrible economic time and are now in the process of real identifying themselves. -- redefining themselves. we had a big change in indonesia. they ended their ethnic and religious conflict. bridging it all, turkey. so, i guess i would say is, i thought this was a good model because i was perfectly well aware it that it was a fleeting moment in history when america would be the only military, political and economic superpower. i used to say to our security team all the time, you know, china and india have more people than we do, so it is just a matter of time before they generate more wealth.

soldier who gave his life by sacrificing himself nine shipload blowup and the only way off the coast of nigeria and that night he went up to his room at churchill college and saw winston churchill and he wrote about how man's best friend the enforcement of the keying the chief noble has to commit ritual suicide 30 days after the keying dies to leave his horse to the other side. my first question is where do we draw the line? and what is honorable and what is not? how do we know how we are supposed to feel about defending the homeland against innovators or killing someone in the name of the country that we love and value? and second, i know you have written about i thought you may share this with your audience it is easy to look back at foot binding to think what were they thinking and doing but maybe will share your list that the next generation will say what they thinking?

last year in nigeria, for example, saudi and gulf missionaries long labored and spend large sums of money, and islamic group amended its theretofore local agenda to name the united states as its number one target for america's oppression and aggression against muslim nations, particularly iraq and afghanistan and because of its blind support for israel. more immediately dangerous for the west, however, the saudi funded regime's activities of the surrogate islamic terrorists, especially in the united kingdom. for more than 30 years the domestic religious establishment which controls education, social policy, and missionary work has brought west of -- western muslims for the kingdom. these men returned to the west to preach what can only be described as a martial oriented islamist imperialism, the vision of the world's holy islamic which for the west would mean christian and jewish populations could convert, accept subordination or face elimination. these preachers are prominent in mosques in the united states and europe and have secured positions as chaplains in western universities, priso

even as a 16-year-old, we all know it's about the oil in nigeria, being outside in the other site not getting it. so it's a kindred spirit, that type of thing. so i agreed a nice set i'm willing to die for this. the other comment i also want to make is one of the anthropology is news that i was evil. and she said to me, she said the haitians and told a fascinating story of courage, of how people just refuse to be in a foreign land. because of that the sheep had to go back. and most of them really most of them are hebrews. in 2400 local issue, he's a sergeant. he saw people dress the way we dress at home. he saw people whose names are very close to what we had. i'm an asian french they say you know what, we can understand it even though we can't speak the language. so i'm standing at to see people are really the same in some form or another, whether it's true what they have suffered or with hair going through or what they know. and the sense of kindred spirit goes beyond race, go beyond everything. whether it's an injustice like martin luther king said, when one of us is suffering and

he knew the ship was going to blow up and the only way to -- it's off the coast of nigeria in lagos and the only way to save himself was to sacrifice himself and he was going up to the church of college and he saw a bust of winston churchill. and that is how man's best friend, the horse many of the king the chief noble of the court has to create ritual suicide 30 days of suicide to lead his soldiers to the other side. where do we draw the line? where do you draw the line in what's honorable and what's not? how do we know how we're supposed to feel about defending the homeland against invaders or you know killing someone in the name of country that we love and we value. and the second thing, and i know you've written about and you've read. i thought you might share this with your audience in the "washington post," things -- it's easy to look back at foot binding now and think that's ridiculous and what were they thinking, et cetera, and dueling and maybe you'll look at the next generation and say what will the next generation think? >> on the first question -- this is really a question a

is about the oil in nigeria, being outside and the other side not getting it so i can kind of of -- that kindred spirit when you feel like you are so -- you are willing to say i'm going to die for this. .. even though we can't speak the language, so people in some form or the other whether it is hard or whether they are willing to or what they know and this sense of spirit goes beyond race and everything whether financial states like martin luther king said loveless is injustice it is actually all of us suffering injustice and again i want to thank you for that. >> thank you for sharing that great admiration. henry louis gates is one of my professors that said to me we were talking about my interest in slavery and he said, you know, it's not that there's a question about people writing about history or black people get to the the history of america and he said that's not what it's about. these are shared stories with their white or black it's important we share them and come to understand them so in this story even though i'm white i can think of know-how greater role model and these men

to die and even a 16-year-old, i said in they buy afro--- and as you all notice about the oil in nigeria so i can kind of -- that is a kindred spirit, that type of thing when you feel like you are so -- to say i'm willing to die for this. the awe -- other, they want to make is, one of the anthropologist knew that i was even a and she said to me, the haitians are either and she told us a fascinating story of courage, of how people refuse to be in their foreign land and because of that she had to go back and live in haiti. and most of them, most of them are. when my husband went to haiti in 2004 on a medical mission, he is a surgeon, he saw people dressed exactly the way we dress at home he saw peoples whose names were very close to us and when the haitians listen to our music they said you know what? we can understand it, even though we can't speak the language. so i'm saying all this to say that people really are the same in some form or the other. whether it is through what they have suffered or what they are going through or what they know and a sense of kindred spirit goes beyond race
