ready for a long term perspective as a species in fact a lot of the problems that we encounter in our world today is because we're always looking for immediate gratification we want results by the end of the week or if we're really thinking long term the end of the next quarter but some good things take time so you're absolutely right that when we're sending our messages in a bottle we're sending many of them to many stars and it's critical that we keep track of where we've sent those and what the messages were so that if we do get a reply back we will know what the reply was in response to how do you figure out what the aliens well understand what they won't i mean do you think human culture has something that transcends this boundary now.

in this special, and shocking, edition of our world, our presenter clive myrie follows a paramedic andtor in acapulco, and meets a senior member of a powerful drug syndicate. this programme contains violent and bloody scenes from the start. this is guerreiro, south—west mexico. mariela is a paramedic in a metropolis scorched by violence. and luis is a body collector in the most violent city in a violent land. we talked to some of those behind the violence, fuelled by drugs and organised crime. translation: they murder each other, they killed innocent people. they decapitate innocent people. they hang innocent people. this is a story of ordinary people living and dying on mexico's front line. the story of a country at war with itself. it's around midnight at a convenience store in acapulco. so far, so ordinary. a child is playing on the floor. suddenly, a man enters pursued by another, who wants to kill him. he's wrestled outside. then shot. imagine the terror of the shop workers, as the assassin tries to finish him off. but his pistol jams. reloaded, the gunman returns and shoots him a

the world has, more or less, been drug along by the technology rather than our political and business leaders shaping the role of these technologies. digital highways and back roads are great enablers of good and advanced progress of humanity. but they are also ungoverned connections for the spread of evil ideologies and the know-how to organize and spread the tools of terrorism all too easy really. the great challenge confronting the community of responsible nations is how to protect and preserve the freedoms of our society while enforcing free speech. this is the challenge your generation will continue to confront. we must now see the present and future in the global context, we must recognize the value of friends and allies. allies born of shared values and shared sacrifices. one of america's great advantages is we have many allies. our adversaries, china, russia, iran, and the terrorist organizations, have few. we must never take these long-held allies for granted. we must motivate and strengthen them, not just in areas of complete agreement, but particularly in bridging our diffe

the picture of our world is crooked. you have to imagine the world in such a way that the dialogue between the powerful and the powerless is always a rather biased dialog yes some of those without power want to take what the powerful have away from them they want to be powerful to this event that happened. to me and the powerful actually want to keep the powerless right where they are and just help them a little so that they don't fall completely apart hit them it that's an unpleasant view and we all suffer because of this is true and i didn't get the miss built on. that and. if anything it's the fan has or was a diplomat at united nations and for a while he was based in geneva but an ambassador who was one of his contemporaries told me that they had founded a theatre company every year they performed a play and stefan always took on a part as someone who serves but i don't think that's a coincidence he didn't care about titles and things you could show off what mattered to him was the relationship with the other person
