my boxing coach henry dean in oxford. i write about everything i learned from a set of wonderful wonderful teachers. what they all had in common was that they all push me and they challenge me to push myself to a place of discomfort. and one of them was one of my professors add duke university. his name was neal, and what neal did was he really challenged me to find a way to be of service. and nail asked me when i was 20 years old to go with him overseas to do international humanitarian work for the first time and he asked me to come with him to box. this was in 1994 during the ethnic cleansing happening in bosnia and neal asked me to come with him to actually live and work in the refugee camps. the photograph that you are seeing here is a photograph that i took of bosnian refugees as they had just stepped off of the bus into the refugee camp. at the moment that you are looking at here, everyone here is -- in this photograph had lost every material possession they had ever had in addition to losing every material possessi

the 1730s and 40s, missionary ies came from england, anglicans from the holy club originally from oxford university and every year they preached down the length of the british colonies from new ported rhode island to salve van that, and the crowds were enormous for the times.

in that case mccain and obama, and i moderated the first of those debates which was at oxford mississippi. >> host: it almost didn't happen. >> guest: but the issue there was body language and it wasn't exactly signed. i tried my best to get the mccain to look at obama and eda semper directly and because they negotiated the rules to make that possible. before you were not allowed the questioning of each other. but this is a new deal and the

, then came -- returned to the united states after i left university. >> and why did you go to oxford? why did you stay? >> i studied history. >> what kind of history? >> modern history, which also begins with the anglo-saxons. why did i go there? i mean, it's an incredibly beautiful place. it was a wonderful time to go. >> new college? >> new college. yeah. and which is across the street. and new college is founded in 1369 or whatever, i think, so not -- but, you know, i had a great time there. i didn't really -- there weren't that many requirements to work, so -- and everybody -- you know, it was funny because at that time the english government paid for you to go to university. they gave you -- now you have to pay something yourself, but at that time not only was the education free, but they gave you spending money. so, it's kind of a very different philosophy than the kind of -- of course now the british government is asking people to pay, but it's still relatively speaking inexpensive. >> british or american citizen? >> i'm american. >> did your parents move back here with you? >

asked to discuss the situation surrounding levy i'm joined by mark almond who's oxford international relations expert a strawman thank you very much for being here with us here on the program so while those friends of libya meeting taking place in paris result in any major decisions over the country's future in your opinion. well i think we have to distinguish between two groups of friends there's a broader group of countries including those who say rush over to her relations with her that we were sure it was going to be and then as a matter of the new regime to our french british the americans on the core nato countries are narrow gulf states who are court or was probably operated special forces on the ground or money and so i think one of the issues we see at this meeting is really how the new review is going to be open for business to all the countries that are interested in it or the international sources of trade in will and how far it will be a privilege woohoo havingness aims. created by the new regime because without the support of nato colonel gadhafi i think very clearly wo

the folks said to me because i was already in oxford when all of this happened and the commission said we are preparing for a debate there will be a debate on we or another unless we are told something else happens etc., etc. not. i was approached by some folks in the intermediaries i was a approached the folks in mississippi. they spend millions of dollars preparing for this and it was a big deal in the state of mississippi and at the university and all of that and they asked me if i would moderate and even just with obama in other words of mccain didn't come may be using students and run the town hall thing and i said well let's see they did believe that the date for a week or so it was resolved and i had a lot of conversations about kind of what we would do and what ever and i realized in my case personally at the last minute, literally at the last minute mccain decided to come into the was the morning of the debate. he didn't decide to come until -- >> host: hearing all of your questions -- the other issue aside. >> host: how do you do that, compartmentalize going on the outside of

the best format is news format, and we had a fairly loose one in oxford. in that case there were nine minutes you could dhaka a question back and forth and all that and it wasn't so limiting. i think that a wide open format is too much of a good thing. you really could lose control of it and you could play to the strengths of if some of them are very good communicators but one is a slightly better communicator, you would give an edge to that one if you open it up completely, and other words with no rules at all and they ask each other questions and deeply kind of as ringmaster but not as moderator -- so my idea would be good evening come here we are committed is candidate a and b. we are going to dhaka at foreign policy. first thing we are going to talk about is the troops in afghanistan and the withdrawal of troops, what is your position on that? >> let's just talk about history for a moment. how we got there. and they would talk to each other and talk to me and talk to the moderator. it would be a full discussion. he said then it would be open. you said

english has enough to fill a doorstop like the oxford english dictionary. some have dialect out there in the rainforest doesn't and therefore qualifies as something different from a language and then there's the riding issue of the language isn't fixed on the page then surely we suppose it has not achieved its full power a certain transience see it is just a dialect in other words. because of this it becomes natural that if asked which is more complex, the french or the language of the tiny group in new guinea called the [inaudible] most people would suppose the answer is french the developed the language after all. the truth however begins with the observation that if you fault the two tenders were annoying imagine having to deal with 100 genders. down underwater what we see is a world with 6,000 to languages period. even if there vocabulary's number in the tens of thousands if anything the languages that are a little so ordinary or special as we might and gifted sort of person typically the rock star once like english and french and mandarin chinese. but

he works as senior global advisor oxford analytica. i will turn it over to david. [applause] >> good morning. i have to start by saying it is a mark of the remarkable generosity of spirit that usually invites the europeans to chair this. strikes me as a mark of your diplomatic skills that the euro does not appear anywhere in what i am about to chair. i am delighted to be here not just to represent the rest of the world but also to help facilitate the discussion over the next hour and a half or so of this panel. i was trying to think what the framing theme of this conference and what came to mind was a commentary that was written in the wake of the tenth anniversary of 9/11. among -- the historians will write about the three important words. not war on terror but made in china. that is the question we are addressing in this panel and in the rest of the day. chinese leaders stressed they are a developing country of 1 fifty million people with less than $1 day. the per-capita gdp is 0.1 the u.s. level. that is true but we know the last 30 years of reform and opening u

ambassador to the country joining us live there from oxford in the u.k. thanks so much for being with us well that paris conference is due to start very shortly what are your expectations it's clearly symbolic but in substance what do you expect to come out of it. well i hope will be a response to what the libyans are going for which is first of all the unfreezing of the assets which make it make it very difficult impossible i would say to keep a country on a reasonable peaceful footing and secondly humanitarian supplies are what the libyans have emphasized. that i hope there will be a response to that will they certainly see through a response from the u.k. at the moment the u.k. has a look some of those frozen assets those good half is frozen assets to fund the rebels the question is where will that money go immediately will it go into the right hands will it actually support the libyan people. well i think we have to cross the libyans on that to some extent this is libyan money the money belongs to the libyans and of course libya is a very unusual econ

english has enough words to fill a do you have stop like the oxford english dictionary. some dialect out there in the rain forest doesn't and, therefore, qualifies something different as, well, a language language. and then there's the writing issue. if a language isn't fixed on the page, then surely we suppose it has not achieved its full power. it's just a dialect, in other words. because of this it becomes natural that if asked which was more complex, french or the language of a tiny group in new guinea, most people would immediately suppose the answer was french, a developed language after all. the truth, however, begins with the observation that if you thought french's two genders were annoying, imagine having to deal with 100 jenlders. down underwater what we see is a world with 6,000 languages, period, whether or not they ever see the printed page and even if their vocabularies number in the tens of thousands. if anything, the language is a little subordinary or special as we -- typically the rock star ones like english and french and mandarin chinese. but who kno

one of them happened here on oxford and center street. he asked the woman for directions. as soon as she began to help, the man grabbed her breasts and groin. >> you always have to be on your guard. never for a second let your guard now. it's scary but i'm here to learn. there's risks i'm willing to take. >>reporter: one of them was a mother of an incoming freshman. suspects have been arrested. issued a crime alert. posted on the website along with strategies students can use. residents are using the web to communicate on crimes. the students we talked to say they heard about the robbery from facebook. reporting live craig, channel 2 news. >> thank you. police patrols will be increasing after the tires of more than 60 cars were slashed. cars were targeting along 17 blocks. mostly on california street. we found one man who just moved to the area for a job only to wake up to find his rental truck damaged. police tell us they know who they are looking for and arrest could be made as early as today. paloalto someone broke into ernie's wines and liquors. smashed a window and to

joining me now from johannesburg is robert, from the oxford business school. thank you for joining us. would you be surprised if it is proved correct that members of the gaddafi entourage and perhaps even himself word to end up in one of these neighboring countries like burkina faso or niger south of libya? >> it would not be surprising. as we have heard from algeria, they have already offered asylum. burkina faso has made offers as well. there's plenty of opportunities for places for gaddafi's clan to move through. it really depends on how the last few stages of the violence and conflict. conflict. if it turns out to be more violent than expected, we may actually see them moving on. it's not, then maybe a final stand. >> we have to be careful not to jump too far ahead of the facts -- and very few facts are known. you are an expert. what was gaddafi's relations with these countries and how did the nurture those relationships? >> gaddafi certainly positioned himself particularly in recent years as a strong leader, strong figurehead at least, for africa. the rea

it must have been a really hard road to hoe to get to be a rhodes scholar at oxford, and i see him now trying to use that education, all of that training to make his country a terrific place on this earth and a terrific example, and i really get offended when people don't give him a break. c-span: when we started talking about your visit to the white house with the kids and your dinner, the kids were upstairs having pizza. after this, you had your stories and they had theirs. what were they telling you? >> guest: they were telling that after they had pizza chelsea said, "would you like to see my dad's office?" she took them down to see the president's office. they got to sit in chairs in the cabinet room, and then she took them on a tour of the white house. they came up as we were breaking up from dinner, and, i had hoped very much they'd get to meet the president and say hello to mrs. clinton, who had greeted them at the door when we came in. i had given them a lot of warnings, "shake hands, look him in the eye, say something interesting," over and over. i was really pleased that when

the debate commission folks said to me because i was already in oxford, and when all of this happenedand the debate commission said, well, we're preparing for a debate. there will be a debate one way or another, and unless, you know, we're told something, you know, something else happens, ect., ect., ect.. i was approached by some folks through intermediaries, i was approached by people from the university of mississippi. they had spent millions of dollars preparing for the debate. it's a big deal for the state of mississippi, the university, and all of that, and they asked me if i'd moderate an event just with obama. in other words, if mccain didn't come, maybe using students, and run a town hall thing. i said, well, i'll have to think about that because let's say they did delay the debate for a week or so, i mean, it was all -- and i had a lot of conversations about, you know, kind of what we would do and whatever, but i realized in my case i didn't -- fortunately at the last minute, i mean, literally at the last minute, mccain decided to come, and that was the morning of the debate

knowing who's going to rule the country afterwards was a dangerous strategy professor marc ullman from oxford university says that religious violence is what lies ahead for post revolt states the question is what kind of democracy will you have either in egypt or perhaps in syria where the the core of the opposition to president assad is the brothers the cousins if you like of the muslim brotherhood and these groups say they want to see them even indeed have majority support but they also say there's no question that the woman could be elected president of all the christian quarter but we have to remember in these countries like egypt and syria there are significant religious minorities it's a christian minorities there are also muslim groups who are regarded by the hardcore if you are one have the fundamentalists is not really muslims as heretics and so there is a danger that under the guise of democratization what we will see is the replacement of secular dictators who are at least tolerated really just diversity of fashion in a place with very dogmatic hardline people who will want a kind

one of the sexual assaults happened on campus on this path along the western boundary with oxford streeta woman was walking home around 1 a.m. when a man stopped her to ask for directions and then grabbed her multiple times. university police arrested the man just a few minutes later. he is identified as a 32-year- old man. on the path today, students say they are aware of the potential for crime and try to take precautions. >> well, i just use common sense. i walk in areas that are well lit. i pay attention to my is your roundings so i'm constantly just looking around to be sure no one is following me. >> if i'm by myself, i just try to be aware might have surroundings. i never wear an ipod so i can always hear what's going on. i try not to be on my phone or have my phone out. >> reporter: in order to help prevent crime, police urge students to walk in groups and take advantage of a free service on campus for nighttime escorts. it's called bear walk. reporting live in berkeley, i'm mark sayre, cbs 5. >>> some people pay hundreds even thousands of dollars to get up close and personal to
