hundred nominees for the nobel peace prize his nomination was put forward by the parliamentary group of the movement of the icelandic parliament and we're joined now from reykjavik by one of its members bridget a young star. so thanks for joining us here out of all possible contenders why do you think bradley manning deserves this prize how do you think its actions contribute to achieving world peace well i mean my part of the whole who is you nominate and we want to be that bradley manning this honor because through all he lacks least we don't know if it's that are responsible who are not but at least this person has been sitting in jail for needed two years where as he you know he's been women who are long whistle on war crimes and it's our opinion that it is not. a criminal have to blow the whistle work arounds or to blow the whistle on any crimes we feel better. now by these leaks for example the radio club owner. the wall. and in particular the p. people that have. put their name to the war in afghanistan and iraq through the government need to know what is going to go in on the

thank you and peace be with you. there's three mike's here so i don't know if i should put this down. um... before i start, i've had the great honor to - i love to talk at schools. k through graduate school and one question i ask children in america is i ask them how many of you have talked great detail to your grandparents or elders or fore father's about world war ii or the depression or vietnam or civil rights movement, or perhaps if your parents or grandparents came from another country and settled here what it's like. only five to ten percent of the ands come up. if i asked that same question in afghanistan or pakistan or africa 90% of ands come up and i think the as great tragedy we've lost that oral tradition and a rich tradition about folklore and heritage and faith and heritage. to honor that today i'd like to share with you a little story. it's a hard cover book that came out in march of 2006. anybody have a hard cover. wave it up here. you might not want it after i say this. i got to pick the title. three

vote getters for this nobel peace prize and. i'm hoping that he gets and i'm pulling for him and you devoted some of your work to manning's imprisonment and conditions there do you think the nomination should somehow improve the situation for. i definitely believe that would improve. it would be hard to. put him in prison after winning a prize like. he's currently facing a very unfair trial i'm not really sure anyone can be impartial after obama said that manning broke the law. even when your commander in chief has already you guilty before you face trial i believe that a trial needs to can just and immediately. you know is not the role of a president all right clark stay active as an artist speaking with us live from new york thanks piers. thank you. the greek prime minister struggling to get coalition party leaders to buy into harsh new international bailout terms the talks have now been postponed until tuesday this is pressure mounts on athens with the european commission spokesman saying the deadlines already passed the coun

the work of promoting peace or do you think it's more politics. i think it's always been a mix of bowl and of course many people have forgotten. the nominees or the people that got it this year or last year which is where it's really really amazing women and i think. you look at many of the people that are often there warped by you know had the kids in here and if you study history you are possible by why a person like him will get the nobel peace prize but you also see people that really deserve it so are i guess it's always. a hard decision to make i guess that the people behind the nobel peace prize can make the will also think you know what sort of impact can this prize have all of those that are fighting for peace because that's an ongoing struggle. hasn't been able to achieve. what his people want to achieve even though it's there to back instead of living in the back without being persecuted and gradually. gradually destroying their culture their life and some very serious situation there right now and so it's an ongoing process for anybody

>> well, that i think as peace grew near, it looked like peace was growing near because of some of the peace process and also because of a speech humphrey gave in october, at the end of october more or less saying, you know, it was -- he wasn't really saying he'd bring the troops home and end the war, but he more or less said that he would like to see the troops come home and he gave kind of a -- i don't know how would you describe it. you'd have to hear the words. he said that he would -- he really wanted to bring the troops home and end the war, but he didn't say it in those words. what happened was right after that money started coming in, and people perceived that and the press perceived that as that he was against the vietnam war and was coming out against johnson's war. after that he just spiked. that's when -- in fact, he was on the rise when the election actually happened. he was still rising in the polls, so he was really close to winning. there was a -- there was a peace agreement that johnson had everybody come to the peace table three or four days before the election becaus

which he was awarded the nobel peace prize. his unannounced trip to beijing in 1971 laid the ground work for president nixon's february 1972 visit to china. his meetings with the premier and chairman mao and the signing of shanghai cummunique. we celebrate this month the 40th anniversary of this historic event which paved the way for restoring the diplomatic relationships between china and the united states. dr. kissinger is the recipient of a long list of prestigious awards including the presidential medal of freedom, our nation's highest civilian award. through his prolific writings and global travels he continues to influence thinking on critical foreign policy issues. and his most recent book on china published last year received very high critical acclaim. please join me in welcoming to the podium a very special american, dr. henry kissinger, who will introduce our guest of honor, the vice president of the people's republic of china, vice president xi.

what these men feared most was peace, peace. because they knew that if peace came, the army would dissolve. they had not heard anything from our commissioners in paris, from mr. adams, mr. jay, mr. franklin, and later mr. lawrence, they didn't communicate with philadelphia, but the rumors were about. these men in congress then knew that they had to act quickly before peace came. morris wrote to his friend, matthew ridley, quote, not much for the interest of america that peace should be made at present. think about that. not much in our interests that peace should be made. it is in our interests that the war be prolonged. meanwhile, up at the camp in newburg, the officers muttering and murmuring, there arrived a new general. his name was horatio gates. horatio gates was not a man much troubled by principle or loyalty. earlier in the war he had distinguished himself as the commander of the american army at the battle of saratoga, the great victor of saratoga where he had defeated general burgoyne. but we sometimes forget about tha

reports many believe that would make peace impossible. hawks in washington calling for the arming of things surgeons in syria we should start thinking all options including arming the opposition i give them training i give them communications equipment and then ultimately i give them weapons. experts say arming the fighting groups among the opposition is a sure way to drag the country into a protracted civil war it will also further marginalize those in the opposition who have advocated nonviolence or would be asked political strategies that the more. plied to the to the factions of the syrian opposition the more that happens the less likely it is that they'll be a negotiated solution leading to a cease fire in a peaceful settlement they're encouraged i think very much by the united states the civil war in lebanon went on for fifteen years absolutely appalling bloodshed and you can easily see that that could happen in syria like the u.s. all qaida has endorsed the rebels fighting in syria under president assad syria has been a secular sta

syria needs peace it is clear that efforts to end the violence need to go along with the start of ameaningful dialogue between all political sides today we've received confirmation from the syrian president of his readiness to participate in that process we will continue to work with various opposition groups but anyone who has more influence on them than russia should also work with them there of course also countries not seem to be as. to see the peace process in syria to go through france italy and spain are among the latest countries to have pulled out their passengers from syria also there at the gulf states which have not only recalled their ambassadors from the country but have also sent out syrian ambassador from their countries there are also statements from the united states who are make it clear that they are not willing to see president bashar lock the to remain in power for much longer the u.s. ambassador to the united nations has said that his days are numbered also the white house has mentioned that to negotiate with also that is to is basically a way to fail or now t

it's a situation that has a country verging on implosion all jury time of peace not war. nation remains sick cuts have a real damaging impact on the people's well being despite the sizeable militia defenses protecting them. happens it's been his secret that from the onset of the euro crisis germany has spearheaded the e.'s austerity drive the original argument was that the cuts were necessary and pain a consequence. t.m.t. max and stacey focus on that. actually wolfgang schauble cording to this article he was actually quoted caught on tape anyway talking to a portuguese finance minister in which he said to the portuguese minister don't worry we're not going to do this to you this our treatment of greece is in order to appease our population at home right exactly this is amazing it's coming through now that the policy makers in germany that are applying this scorched earth policy to greece are doing so to appease their local constituents who want blood for some reason they're just bloodthirsty which then brings up all kinds of other questions about who is the germany of al

doing so would allow them to live in peace. it is imperative that there be an end to violence on all sides. we asked civilians to end the violence. the critical question at this juncture is, what positive contribution can we make? to assist the syrians to resolve their conflict? we should bring the parties to a peaceful resolution of their conflict. we welcome the arab league. we encourage parties to explore all opportunities to find a political solution. military intervention, as we have seen in other parts of the world, has the unintended consequences for the wider region. we welcome the consideration of the situation in syria and the two draft resolutions. we call on the principles expressed to be better and fully expressed in the future. i thank you. i now resume my function as president of the council. >> first of all, mr. president, i apologize for asking for the floor once again. first of all, i would like to state that our mission here is not to ask for military intervention from the security council. moreover, we are n

this program will be peaceful and. every stone age just it's required to be and we're working on that with total understanding of our full responsibility. before him tackling the challenges to regional security addressed the issue of strengthening cooperation with russia an important international stabilizing force but we know the position of bahrain on this issue do you think your partners in the cooperation council will listen to these calls and take any specific steps to make cooperation with russia even closer than it is now. i can answer positively not only on behalf of bahrain which cooperates with russia in many areas including go to regional security also corporates with the u.s. . with china japan india and many many other states we also see a positive response from russia regarding all areas of cooperation and the benefit from it russia has always played a major role in international affairs and russia is a great power and russia should be present in our region a troll is indispensable russia has put forward

no such thing as peace.s just cease-fire. >> bob: for those in the muslim community and united states and around the world we have gone out of our way to be tolerant in the face of difficult times for us. i would just say that it's time for muslims, moderate muslims, said things and i think they do, to stand up and speak out on this. we're tired of having our people killed and our churches burned overseas while we protect mosques here. it's the right thing to do here certainly. i would suggest a good thing to do overseas. >> andrea: if you can't convert them, then you convert them by the sword. >> dana: i think there can be a peaceful muslim religion. >> andrea: i don't disagree but that's why quran is confusing. >> bob: we have to get out of that. this is something that matters a lot to us. something that does to me. up next, i'm going to find eric a hobby, because -- i always screw these things up. i'm going the find him a hobby because he's going on another rant about green card. and obama administration.

prize he's been put forward by a peace research center in the u.s. and an icelandic parliamentary group twenty four year old is awaiting a court martial in the u.s. and faces life in prison activists kluck stokely believes that manning would be a much worth it recipient of the prize and the current u.s. president. what he is accused of is leaking documents and video that has led to the end of the iraq war has led to pro-democracy rallies and uprisings all over the world and i think it's much deserved that he receives this nobel peace prize if obama gets a go i should hate obama has done very little for peace even though he promised it and obama has also taken credit for ending the iraq war when actually that's not the truth the truth is the iraqi government did not want to allow legal immunity for u.s. troops after january first and the reason that they didn't last immunity is because of what they saw in the cables and the videos showing civilian deaths that were being covered up in the corruption by the u.s. government. time now for some other inter
