as i thought i want to make sure that we look good to other cities from the cities all over north america canada we're a pioneer in terms of night life and entertainment regulations across north america we have a ways to go in terms of policing i mean policing what we do in many areas a unit of police that know night life and how to police night life and are cholgz based on the criteria that makes them suitable it is not everyone's for at a as a police to work with maybe drunk people and folks that need anymore direction so i hope to pursue that with our chief with the help of lieutenant so we'll see how that goes and as you mentioned president tan we have a new commissioner chief administrative officer one half i think i'll let you speaks for itself you want to introduce uterus. >> thank you hi, i'm dorsey and this is a very new role i got sworn in 15 minutes ago (laughter). >> i'm very excited to be here and work you and i have big shoes to fill i'm taking ann k07bd asset. >> high heals. >> i'm going to keep to short glad to meet everyone i'm a good listener. >> i put her on the spot i apologi

and quite a bit of wild fur coming from north america and canada. >> so wild fur does sort of make its way into the mix. now, is it legal wild fur? >> absolutely. we are bound by international conventions on what we can trap. but mainly what you find with the fur is it's a conservation issue. a lot of wild animals need to be culled for conservation reasons, so rather than culling and throwing away then you've got an economy creating jobs and welfare by people using those skins for fur. so it's part of the economic mix in north america. >> because some will say, again, the anti-fur campaign will say, man-made materials nowadays for normal stuff, right, fake fur, all sorts of -- you know material to keep us warm so we don't need fur. how do you combat that argument? and say, we shouldn't be killing these animals? >> they're right that fake fur is everywhere. the science behind fake fur is improving. it's a choice issue. some people will have fake fur. there might be an economic reason. other people want the actual beauty and the real feel and the touch and the warmth of real fur. it's a

they shake their finger at the shale producers in north america, canada, and mexico may be on the hooke disciplined with production to control prices. so i just don't think -- >> we don't do cartels well in this country. it's amazing. >> right. >> i keep hearing people still saying within the next 12 months oil is going to go to 70 bucks. what are the scenarios that get us there? is going to take a huge emerging markets rebound? >> maybe that would help -- >> demand has to go up. >> i think it's going to take the washout of a lot more producers. i talked about bankruptcy filings. it's been small companies so far and more on the natural gas side actually. but people are not going to stop pumping to jackie's point. they need their revenue. i was in houston two weeks ago talking to the new ceo of apache. they have really slashed their rig count but they're actually producing more because they need cash. they need cash to keep going. >> do you guys -- >> saudi wants to see more. saudi wants to see more prices go down because that's their competition in the u.s. so saudi very quietly is wat

north america. if you bring in canada and mexico the reserves we have in north america. >> because putin can turn offhe spigot to western europe therefore he has a lot of leverage. >> that's exactly right. i've introduced in the senate the american energy most comprehensive legislation to unchain the private sector to create millions of high paying jobs. you want growth, you want to solve the budget and deficit and debt millions of high paying jobs in energy and also in manufacturing from low cost energy is a critical element to how we do it. >> coming up, not everybody by the way is excited senator ted cruz has announced he's running for president. up next we'll give him an opportunity to respond to some of his critics. and later yo our viewers get to ask senator cruz questions. go to facebook and twitter. some of those straight ahead. >> millions fear that the promise of america's slipping away. that the promise of america's unattainable. i believe we can reignite the promise of america. but the only way to do so is if it comes from the people. if we count on washington for that to happen it ain't

north america. cold air has been controlling canada, and also a good portion of the united states. and the moisture's all hitting the ground as snowfall. heavy knowfall still taking place into the new england states, the mid-atlantic states will see a change of snowfall as we go through monday. freezing rain in chicago. look out on the roadways because it's going to be very slick as the rain hits the ground and freezes on contact. snow into the lower rockies, into denver and oklahoma city as we go throughout the day. hope you have a good day wherever you are. here's your extended outlook. >>> musicians playing as japanese instruments performed a concerto with the seattle symphony orchestra. the musical piece was composed to encourage the restoration effort in japan's disaster-hit northeast. japanese kyoto and bamboo flute players took part in the u.s. premier of japanese composer's "revive." nykot sochlt a 13 stringed instrument. the player is from fukushima prefecture part of the region devastated by the march 1th earthquake and tsunami in 2011. the traditional japanese instrument

and for all north america including mexico, canada and central america. and i think that something in a few years it's three, four or five years and before 2020 the u.s. will be not dependent. already authorizing to export oil and the national export and that's yet prices are going down and now you can pay instead of paying $4 or more for a gallon under $3 that is money that's also going to the pockets of the people and let them use this money for other purposes as much as you are a very high energy consumer you can use a cheaper energy doing here and not so contaminant is a big, big revolutionary change, i think. >>. >> i wanted to ask assad a question related to oil. so the big revolution that carlos just talked about is also changing the way that the middle east figures in the strategic picture and does that in any way effect the dynamic that is playing on the ground at least over the next decade or so? >> sure. just look at iran, for example for them to will bahhance their books and oil prices need to be above $120. so the more the price is under pres

america could be affected by russian activities. from cruise missiles, already the u.s. and canada routinely send fighter jets to intercept russian aircraft approaching north america. now russia appears to be doubling down on its so-called deterrent actions that target america. that as the crisis in ukraine sinks diplomatic relations to lows that haven't been seen since the cold war. david arioso reports. >> reporter: when conflict erupted in ukraine last spring world attention focused on eastern europe. russian backed separatists clashed with ukrainian forces taking large swaths of the country and annexing crimea. but moscow was also quietly testing the waters elsewhere in what analysts describe as the kremlin's most aggressive endeavors since the end of the cold war russian president vladimir putinvow to expand his country's reach into areas after the collapsed soviet union. >> positioning itself as a global defender of conservative or traditionally socially conservative values. >> that reach extends westward to america's southern neighbors. russia announced plans to build bases in both venezuela and nicaragua. but it's cuba that has raised eyebrows. rus

that is a valuable resource of north america, and canada has been a terrific partner over the decades. look, i think that's great. i wanted to also ask you, if you're managing burlington northern, you read the letter obviously you say that union pacific did a better job. you put more money in it. is this the type of thing when you're the managing in a very decentralized business that you have, you wake up and you say oh, my i'm the guy that didn't do as well as i should have for mr. buffett? >> matt rose has done a terrific job for us. and the u.p. if you remember i know you do jim, about a dozen years ago, u.p. had some major service problems. and we gained a lot of share against them. and they're a terrific competitor. but we are spending a lot more money than they are now to improve service. and my guess is that over the next 20 or 30 or 50 years, a few years when we surge in a few years, when they surge and that we both come out a whole lot better off than we are now. >> all right. look i wanted to congratulate you. i thought the letter was just unbelievable. i read it twice. ever

stepping up russia's missile development, and it could hurt the united states and canada's ability to defend north americag today from the head of norad. he told lawmakes russia has been work only a new program to deploy long-range cruise missiles 'thousands of miles from war planes and submarines on navy ships. the official says the program is giving russia other military options that stop short of the nuclear threshold and also said russian bombers flew more patrols near the air space of foreign countries last year than at any time since the cold war. tenges have been running high between the kremlin and the west over the deadly crisis in eastern ukraine. meantime, president putin is set to make his first public appearance in more than a week as kremlin officials are trying to shut down the rumors he is bad sick. they say on monday he will meet with a country's president. he last appeared in public last thursday for a meeting if italy's prime minister. analysts say it's rare for him to go even a day without a public event, and he has postponed an upcoming trip and yesterday missed an national security m

north korea. miramar perhaps. but not canada, absolutely not. not latin america. not israel. not egypt. not jordan, not turkey, not saudi arabia, not the entire middle east, not the african countries either. the simple fact is that disengagement creates so much uncertainty and doubt that people do not know where we stand. restoring america's presence in the world would be a powerful first step two creating a more secure world. we have to reengage in a way to deal with the threats that are amongst us, isis being one of those. russia now moving with great authority and aggressively into eastern europe and perhaps the baltics. challenging whether article five of nato is a viable treaty. people began to have doubts about that. the emergence of china aggressively pursuing their agenda in asia. all of these things are serious threats. then instead of negotiating with iran to legitimize the regime, we should have kept the sanctions on them. they would have come to the table. $45 a barrel for oil over a year in iran would have changed the dynamic. instead of negotiating downward to a deal that

. >> known as bigfoot in north america, yeti in asia, and sasquatch in canada, the infamous creatureortedly been spotted all over the world. yet physical and photographic evidence of the beast is scarce, until this film becomes a worldwide sensation. >> you're seeing in the patterson film, bigfoot shows up on cue. the creature is walking along a creek bed, making what i think are exaggerated steps, exaggerated gait. turns, looks at the camera, and is gone. the patterson film was put out as here's the proof -- here's proof that bigfoot exists. >> the film awes big foot believers and fascinates nonbelievers like joe nichol. >> the believers were prepared to believe it, no matter what it showed. they were going to believe it. and skeptics would be dubious about it. >> but perhaps no one is more dubious than this man, and for good reason. >> i'm sitting in my living room at home watching television, and the announcer comes on telling a story about these two rodeo cowboys who were out in the forest and ran upon a bigfoot. and i look, and here is our gorilla suit walking across the screen.

what cannot north america do as a powerhouse around the world? we look at canadasomething they are trying to do for themselves. not something we are doing together and how it will benefit the united states. look at the world and how it will be viewed through the eyes of united states and canada working together. we could be energy-secure soon and that would change the world dynamics on much more than it just energy. bags anyone who wants to ask a question, make your way to the microphone. >> i think when you talk about understanding what we have nafta countries represent the 5% of the world's gdp. that is a significant and important fact. we have lost the opportunity to push ahead he yawned the border. it has lost some steam. the regulatory counsel may be more important than the beyond the border program because that would reduce the cost to companies on both sides of the border. get, if you will, standards aligned. we have become focused on this issue and it has taken attention away. it has taken dollars over they. it has become a political talking point. each si

canada rounding out the rest with 84%. so yes all the maple syrup gets produced in north america. in terms of timing back in 2012 the season ended in mid-march. because it was so warm. but for 2013-2014, the peak actually extended into admit-april because of the those colder winters. we're also seeing a cold winter right now with the snowy weather pattern. and this extended eded stationary front is slowly dragging us up toward the east. plenty of snowfall from the ohio river valley into new york city and down even into parts of louisiana where we're seeing about a 10 to 15-degree temperature difference just on the other side of the front. this will push toward the east as we go throughout thursday. as you go into friday we should start to see an end to the winter weather for this front. look at this snow in new york d.c., and also look at atlanta and houston. 15 to 20-degree drop between wednesday and thursday for daytime highs. we're in the single digit as we go through the the day. speaking of some wild weather, let's take a look at the forecast for europe. we have a cut-off low

north korea. cambodia perhaps. but not canada, absolutely not. not latin america. not israel. not egypt. not jordan, not turkey, not saudi arabia, not the entire middle east, not the african countries either. the simple fact is that disengagement creates so much uncertainty and doubt that people do not know where we stand. restoring america's presence in the world would be a powerful first step to creating a more secure world. we have to reengage in a way to deal with the threats that are amongst us, isis being one of those. russia now moving with great authority and aggressively into eastern europe and perhaps the baltics. challenging whether article five of nato is a viable treaty. people began to have doubts about that. the emergence of china aggressively pursuing their agenda in asia. all of these things are serious threats. then, instead of negotiating with iran to legitimize the regime, we should have kept the sanctions on and have been engaged in this way because they would have come to the table. $45 a barrel for oil over a year in iran would have changed the dynamic. instead of

north america do asa powerhouse around the world. that is the one thing unfortunate about this we look at canada as something they're trying to do forthemselves and not looking how we can do it together and how it will benefit from the united states. look how the world can be viewed through the eyes of the united states and canada working together? we could be north american energy secure, soon. that would change the world dynamics much much more than just energy. it would be how we play around the world. >> can ask anybody who want as question, this would be time to make your way to the microphones. we'll get to you in a couple seconds. go ahead, congressman. >> i think when you talk about understanding what we have the nafta countries represent 25% of the world's gdp. that is a very significant and important fact. we have lost the opportunity to push forward or push ahead with beyond the border. it has lost some of its steam. the regulatory cooperation council may actually be more important than the beyond border program, because that would reduce the cost to companies on both sides of the border. get, if you will, standards align

north america given the sideline but easier to its? >> one is you can probably go to any business group in canada. the canadian council of ceos has a paper this that the proposals they would like to see the two governments work on. they have prepared ahead of the summit that was planned for canada earlier in the year and that never happened so they are sitting on that and now we will have an election sending canada and there will be an election here. during an election things kind of freeze so i think we are going into an even more frozen moment. in terms of other opportunities we are not talking about one danger that i see here is this has become such a partisan issue. notwithstanding some democrats but for the most part it has become a big partisan political issue. i don't know that far beyond the harper obama's relationship i don't know it's healthy for canada to be a partisan issue. sure you get strong allies on the hill. you get republicans behind your cause but the harder they advocating push the heart harder the other side pushes back and you are suddenly stuck between these two sides in th

canada. if you consider north america being independent.ntake of non-north american crude has fallen to 24% of our total supply. from around 55% 10 years ago. we are more independent now that we have been in some time. that could grow. i'm not sure how much further. it would depend on how much more canadian crude comes down into the u.s. come how much more production in the u.s. comes on stream. we are always going to import some oil just because we need specific grades. refineries need specific grades to match their needs. they may just get a good competitive price for something like saudi arabia and crude and they want to keep running it. i think -- i do not foresee a day were we are not importing any crude. if anything, maybe one day we'll export more crude and there will be more of a flow back and forth of the types of crudes that people need for the type of crudes that are most advantageous to buyers. host: you mentioned several different types of crude in this discussion. is there one kind of crude that is considered the best or most

i don't know about north korea but just -- miramar perhaps because of diplomatic relations. but not canada. absolutely not. not latin america. not israel. not egypt. not jordan. not turkey. not saudi arabia. not the entire middle east. not the african countries either. and the simple fact is, the disengagement has created so much uncertainty and doubt that people don't know where we stand. and so a -- so restoring america's presence in the world actually would be a powerful footstep to creating a more secure world. then we have to re-engage in a way to have a strategy to deal with the threats that now are amongst us, isis being one of those, of course. russia now moving, you know work great authority and aggressively into eastern europe. and perhaps the baltics even. challenging whether article 5 of nato is actually a viable -- nato is a viable treaty organization. people i think begin to have doubts about that. the emergence of china aggressively pursuing their agenda in asia. all of these things are serious threats. and then the thought -- then instead of negotiating with iran to legitimize the regime, we should have kept

north america. we talked about the ability of canada, u.s., mexico, which are huge part of the global economy by the way when you combine them, to be to have much greater impact and have a greater impact by the way on central america and latin america. so we've committed that. and in fact i've had a meeting in the state department within the last month at which we sat with our western hemisphere assistant secretary roberta jacobson and others and talked about how we're going to implement a greater north/south over the years and this administration. and the appointment of the special envoy to colombia came out of my second visit to colombia and my discussions with president santos, who asked us to get engaged and to become involved. and president obama agreed to do that. and together we decided that you know, bernie is the fellow to help get the job done. because he was intimately involved in the nicaragua/el salvador peace process. previously served as assistant secretary for the western hemisphere. and in fact i worked with him on the committee when i was chairman of the sub committee. so we think

in canada, another so-called bomb train laden with crude oil has derailed in northern ontario, marking at least the fourth fiery derailment in north america in three weeks. the train laden with oil from alberta caused a massive fire and a shroud of black smoke.five cars went into the makami river. fires were still burning in illinois after a train carrying oil from north the coda derailed thursday. the environmental protection agency warns the spill threatens the mississippi river. the pyre moehring -- the pioneering documentary filmmaker outward males has died at the age of 88. best known for his cinema verite style, in films including "grey gardens" and "gimme shelter," he also founded the maysles documentary center. those are some of the headlines. this is democracy now democracynow.org, the war and peace report. i'm amy goodman. we are broadcasting from alabama. tens of thousands of people, including president obama over 100 members of congress, traveled to selma alabama, for the 50th anniversary of bloody sunday. on march 7, 1965, hundreds of peaceful voting rights activists were attacked by police and state troopers crossing the edm
