one hundred 60 kilometers long, and in this mixing zone, the waste does not have to meet even papa new guinea standards for metal contamination. it is not until after 160 kilometers downstream that the waste from this mine is supposed to meet metal levels that the papa new guinea government sets. that means all the people who live along this river for 160 kilometers are exposed to metal levels that are higher than even the papa new guinea government would allow. >> the mine disposes of all of its tailings, which is liquid waste, made up mostly of heavy metals that aren't byproduct of processing -- are made up of byproducts of processing. this is an extremely controversial practice. one thing we heard time and time again from people was because they have no land that they can use to form on, they have no choice but to go down on to those waste dumps. >> people do want to be living there anymore. they recognize how hazardous -- do not want to be living there anymore. they recognize how hazardous it is and want to be moved. we find that people often don't want to be resettled, but here they are

he was in pop-up -- papa new guinea.the only person they could think of who could stand up to macarthur was a fellow medal of honor winner, eddie rickenbacker. he got some oral instructions. nothing was written down. he flew on a b-17 from pearl harbor down to new guinea. he was with seven other guys in uniform who were going to take him down. for a variety of reasons they , missed their refueling stop which was canton island, at very small point of land. they put down in the middle of the central pacific, not too far from where amelia earhart was lost. the only food they had was the pilot was savvy enough to put four oranges in his flight suit. they landed and these eight guys ended up on three rafts. no food, no water. they had not been able to figure out the radio to tell anybody where they are. they were 2000 miles in any direction from land. no food, no water. most of the guys had taken off their pants and shoes and socks because they thought they might be swimming. that turned out to be a bad idea. when sun came ou

data on, only three of those countries do not offer some kind of paid maternity the leave, oman, papa new guineated states. he says it doesn't make any sense why we're on that list. what he wants to do and what he can get done in this environment is a very different thing. he's pushing forth a presidential memorandum what he can do within his staff on the staff level, but when it comes to the bigger issues having a big impact is going to take congress. there are some -- i guess there's bipartisan sentiment on capitol hill. everyone's got families and mothers and wives they want to help out most of them. but what they can get done, they're totally idea logically different. >> you care about public policy but you care maybe a little bit more because a little something's on the way. who better to go to for parenting advice than the president of the united states. >> absolutely. you -- i was surprised to see how personal he got in the interview. why not ask for what kind of advice the president himself has for first time parents. >> mr. president, we need to wrap up. since she has been kicking throu

the president could have continued just as the papa new guineas believed. you get the point.everybody is exceptional. then nobody's exceptional. that's what he thinks. in his view, if america is part of the problem. then the answer is a withdrawn inward looking declining america. he actually thinks that this will make the world a safer place. he thinks that it's american strength that's provocative. but he's 180 degrees wrong. it's like looking at the world through the wrong end of a telescope. it's not our strength that's provocative, it's our weakness that's provocative. because our adversaries see the opportunity to take advantage when we turn away from the world. when we're not prepared to act. and they act instead on their own agenda. right before us today we see the consequences in iraq of america withdrawing. and it's a laboratory experiment. something you rarely get in international affairs. we could have kept a residual american force in iraq to help stabilize the country and protect the sacrifices that americans had made over the past ten years, the president was de
