i read in london that they found in northern ireland two men and a little hut to construct a half a ton bomb when this was presented to the police department one senior officer said very wisely, there is no way you can decommissioned shovels you have to decommission the mine. that is what the dalai lama is doing to propagate revolution by going to the root of things and make the change there. and i should probably say i hesitate to say i have met a lot of politicians and to my surprise i notice the dolly llama was the single most realistic politician i have never match. s.a. hyper realist some the politicians talk about the future which is a never never land and some talk about the past which cannot be change. he is one of the only ones i know that is almost like a scientist looking through the microscope to see what is and then what can be done with it. at the beginning of this centy your traveler's you felt as i did the world had never been more polarized. what i noticed with a terrist attacks in new york city than on the other side of the world th more people than ever before seem to

but turned the peoplen northern ireland against them.t is the downside of what they were doing. they were legally probably of torturing people. i agree with you, mr. addicott, but they made a mistakehen it came to el niÑo for the people of northern ireland and that's the point i am trying to make. we have made mistakes in this war. we are going to make n ones and i don't want to take off the table f thipresident the ability to do things beyond the army field and you will to protect this nation if we restrict ourselves to the army field manual, shame on us. it is the field manual, written for soldiers to make sure where they don't get themselves in trouble, not to get intelligence about the next pending attack. isn't that right, mr. turner? it is a guide to the soldier in the field. it was never written to be the and all and be all of how you protect the nation and if we adopt that theory we've made a huge mistake and learned nothing from the past and if we put it on lineand that's the only way we can interrogate somebody, we are stupid.

police in northern ireland have launched a big security operation as their new commander takes his postbeen detained in northern france as police cleared up the makeshift camp known as the jungle. it has been housing asylum seekers trying to smuggle themselves into britain. there have been clashes and arrests as local protesters tried to protect them. >> some were carried, some were tried, but mainly, they just followed quietly. of the discounting from potestas and scuffles of police, the dream of starting new lives in britain. activists yelled for the arrests to stop, but the police were under instruction to empty this camp, and they followed their orders to the letter. in the processing line, each migrant told his story, hoping it would be enough to win him asylum. more than a quarter of those rounded up our -, children who have been living in squalor for months. on a tour of the site, the french immigration ministers said -- sent a strong message to traffickers -- that squatting no longer offered a ticket to anyone. the authorities were quick to wipe out all traces of the camp, but t

important to keep in mind that somebody like senator mitchell had great success when it came to northern irelandmake a break through when it came and the israeli refused to listen to him. while there was a call for a settlement freeze, it wasn't backed and now is the time that the u.s. needs to back it with some teeth and otherwise president abbas' credibility will slip. >> is there any running room, negotiating room that president abbas has to permit israel to expand the settlements according to their definitions of population growth without building new settlements. >> really, there isn't. if you look at the settlements themself in the past few years have close to tripled in size. 40% of the settlems are not inhabited and not really natural about what israel claims to be natural growth. the increase in the territories because they have given incentives to israelis to move into the territories. >> what about a six to nine-month freeze? >> the problem is without any tease they will not take any hold and what the politicians are really looking for is some sort of teeth. what is it the u.s. is goi

i was in europe in july and the northern ireland human rights commission has a new style book. it has banned the use of the word black day. you must use the term miserable day because of course using the word "black" day carries a valuation of skin color. i'm not making this up. you cannot use the term "ethnic minority" because it it can imply something smaller and less important. of course there is also the issue of the patriarchy. gentlemen's agreement is out. potentially offensive to women. it has been replaced with unwritten agreement. the term "right-hand man," gone. now replaced by "second in command." also, we have to get rid of the term "master bedroom," for obvious reasons, it it imply there is is a "master." i thought it could be gender neutral, either a man or woman could master these things. anyway, political correctness is with us everywhere and perhaps no more so than in colorado. i've had lots of time and energy taking to university of colorado at boulder. i wrote a lot of the literature stuff. i suspect you probably have more stories to tell me than i for you. m

. >> the president and prime minister of great britain and northern ireland. >> good morning.yesterday in vienna, the united states, the united kingdom and france presented detailed evidence to the iaea demonstrating that the islamic republic of iran has been building a covert uranium enrichment facility near qum for several years. earlier this week, the iranian government presented a letter to the iaea that made reference to a new enrichment facility years after they had started its construction. the existence of this facility underscores iran's continuing unwillingness to meet its obligations under u.n. security council resolutions and iaea requirements. we expect the iaea to immediately investigate this disturbing information and to report to the iaea board of governors. now, iran's decision to build yet another nuclear facility without notifying the iaea represents a direct challenge to the basic compact at the center of the non-proliferation regime. these rules are clear -- all nations have the right to peaceful nuclear energy. those nations with nuclear weapons must move

but you know, i used to spend a lot of time going to northern ireland and places like that.ne in the past to us but we're going to clean this up now and start and go forward. and you've got to decide what it is you don't like if you're going to send some kind of a message that's going to take us anywhere. the republicans aren't doing that. >> as pat says, mika, you got to do what you got to do. >> i want to touch on something gail said earlier and ask you a question. because she said you know, something will get done. we'll get some sort of something. i'm not sure how much of a good thing that is, given what's happening in washington now. what's the political ramifications potentially of anything getting through down the road because there is so much division and what's the quality? >> i said this before. i'll say it again. when i first got to congress, a veteran came up to me and said son, you will never lose elections for a bill that you vote against. i found out for the most part he was right. i'll tell you what my concern is. you have republicans on one side waving their

how the someone born in ireland who went to school in dublin end up in healthcare in washington, d.c.? guest: good question. i was a catholic priest for about 19 years in northernirginia. i left and have been working at unity for the last 22 years. i have a big mouth and people like to hear me talk. i'm always glad. basically i'm really committed to the work of community health care centers. i spent 20 years with sharing the gospel and i believe there are the challenges of providing health care better very much gospel-driven. host: what is the difference of being a catholic priest and the president of unity healthcare? guest: the biggest challenge is seen that what you're doing is worth while. also, that you do not get discouraged. it certainly is a discouraging, but exciting time. the biggest difference is that i'm married now and i was not them. host: gloria joins us now from madison, wisconsin. caller: good morning. thank you for letting me on. i'm so proud of dr. keane and his talking about the gospel. i believe in that myself. anyway, we belong to the federal retirement program, the good health cooperative of southwest wisconsin. it is one of the best in t
