they were not going to nominate robert kennedy. the time of kennedy's death, his own campaign sort of state-by-state breakdown of where the delegates were and what he would have to accomplish in order to get a majority, it's essentially a unimaginable scenario. humphrey, because the union leaders, the state party leaders, the big city bosses, the southern governors, were for him, and because a plurality of democrat inge voters manifested in the gallup poll were for him, almost surely would have been a democratic nominee anyway. now, what about humphrey who was vice president and his boss lyndon johnson, the president, who remember at the end of march had withdrawn from the election. well, john sson withdrew but at minimum hoped somehow he would be asked. remember, that convention was scheduled originally to coincide with johnson's birthday at the end of august. and johnson had this sort of lingering hope that he would be able to have a breakthrough in the negotiations with north vietnam and somehow bring peace to that war, or, a br

as such, barbara garcia sf director of health has endorsed my nomination. in my daily work i tackle such issues. our venues are situated uniquely to take the reduction in strategies and reach opportunities. folsom street events avail themselves and such venues can benefit from sharing best practices including developing emergency protocols and recruiting large staff events among other things. this is a track record that we would be willing to demonstrate. in the importance that the city places on cultural events including outdoor festivals, i believe that my nomination to the entertainment commission is vital by way of support of the office of campos and wiener for events and outdoor festivals. we completed 250 is surveys and the folsom fair we completed 700 is surveys in order to help assess the economic impact of these events on our city. your vote for my nomination will signal to the community that you value the non-profit sector as a partner with government. not only is the folsom street events a charitable organization but benefits national charities w

w all expect lower nominal gdp. we are in an environment where emerging market growth is converging to some extent with developed economic growth. but i think investors are still -- after 30 years of high nominal returns, nomat, not real, investors are now struggling to deal with the lower nominal return environment. perhaps that is why we get investors chanting in to try and get that. >> interestingly, one of the first areas of confidence for the u.s. recovery was from emerging markets decline. now that i live in asia rather than here in london, i've seen quite a bit of enthusiasm over the past two to three years towards the u.s. recovery, towards the u.s. housing recovery, now towards the developments in the energy complex. so i think emerging market investors are right in the thick of it saying, the developed world offers some volatility. the center of the debate today is europe. >> go to china, talk to the wealthy, if you ask them where the best opportunity for success is, many of them are not going to say it's

he never had been nominated by the republican party after 1960. but there is no doubt in a way that today we would find very difficult to understand. >> how long was he married to his first wife? >> over 30 years. they were married a week after he graduated from dartmouth, and they divorced in 1961. >> how long was he married to his second wife? >> 15 years, or so. >> how many children did he have? >> he had five children, two children by happy. >> how many brothers and sisters did he have? >> one sister, abby, and he had four brothers, one of them was arguably his -- certainly his closest friend. there were some who would argue maybe his only true friend. >> and his brother david is a 99 and still alive? >> yes, that is a book in and of itself. he wrote with considerable candor in memoirs -- i was speaking with a quintessential rockefeller republican, and he had been told that the hardest part was writing honestly about nelson. they had a difficult relationship, particularly towards the end. >> who was nelson rockefeller's father? >> john d rocke

houthi rebels rejected his nomination. >> reporter: to his supporters, he had all the skills. he is an independent sunni from the south - young, intelligent and energetic. he was seen as a western sewage, and the houthis refused to back the nomination as prime minister. he was surprised of the announcement. we received assurances that he would not be appointed. his name resurfaced. how dare foreign embassies medal in foreign affairs and choose for us. >> the decision to nominate mubarak was announced on tuesday, without the support of houthi rebels, the situation was untenable. he said in a statement: the houthis have considerable influence over yemen's politics after launching an offensive from their stronghold in the north. they surged south, taking a string of strategically important cities before overrunning the capital. a peace deal was signed. the houthi's rejection of the nomination as prime minister was swift. >> it's clear that the houthis trying to drug the prime minister's position until the time expired, the time of peace and punishment which only exists with about

senate has enormous power over judicial nominations. as the politics in washington have intensified, the log jam has gotten worse. randall pinkston reports. >> reporter: judge john jones was nominated to the federal district court in pennsylvania in february, 2002. he was confirmed six months later and handled two to 300 cases per year. then, two judges left the bench. what kind of case load did you have when there were vacancies on the court? >> case load was basically doubled at that time. so, we were up over judge. >> in texas, he retired federal judge william royal ferguson confirmed in four months in 1994 never expected it would take replacement. >> it's taken six years to fill my spot. i think we have two republican senators and one democratic president. and they don't necessarily see eye to eye on these matters. >> most americans are familiar with high profile battles over supreme court nominations like this one for nominee kagan. >> do you agree with the characterization that you are a legal progressive? >> senator sessions, i h

there could be room for making the nomination committee, which has to nominate the candidates. there might be some room for making the composition of that committee more democratic. he had hinted at this before. especially last week during a standoff with reporters. but this is the first time i think he's used those words democratic, making them more democratic. that's one possible way in which the both sides can compromise. >> you've been covering this story from the start. just very briefly, do you think that will be enough to compromise or, of course, appease those student protesters? >> reporter: it's very unlikely, i think, to achieve that in essentially less than two hours, or two hours of debate today. i think the students have been insisting on multiple rounds of talks because they don't think that there will be any kind of solid agreement to be achieved tonight. >> we're going to leave it there. juliana lui, thank you very much. that's all from us here on "bbc world news" for now. you can keep in touch with me and the rest of the team via twitter. thanks very much for

politics, she learned a lot from the first nomination. i also have to say she did acknowledge in her own memoir that once she was on the federal judiciary, once she knew she would be in some ways giving her career more emphasis than her home life she did not lack ambition said she will acknowledge it. just that i think sometimes people don't want to be perceived as overly ambitious but this is washington. >> host: how valuable in your research was autobiography that came out a year or two back? >> guest: it is very valuable. i found this contract in early 2010 and i had been aware find the scenes that she was doing her memoir at the same time and mine was never intended to be a biography in the mode of what i didn't justice sandra day o'connor and justice scalia. i wanted to do a political history of how she ended up on the court at how this match the eyes of america. when i found out she was doing this memoir it hadn't been quite announced yet and found out in a way that i couldn't write about. here she is on the court, barely finished h
