the people's uprising and the people want to be heard and powers and i completely agree with that but i think it's very relevant for westerners to understand that when you hear these catchphrases which means people's voice or even the word democracy power sharing and you know more accountability that does not necessarily translate into what the western world understands as a democracy and what i mean by that is just just because you have the support of the people or what the people want as far as a majority will not necessarily translate into the understanding of a western secular democracy at all and i'll just give you some examples when you know when there are elections in algeria and one thousand nine hundred one deism ists were completely poised to win when there were elections in for the people you know in the palestinian territories hamas and islam estate and you know classified as a terrorist organization one so and this is i'm not trying to say that people should not have the voice be heard but i think it's important to keep in mind that these words which have a connotation to

people. are missing most nations are there in you yet you said it was a population of mostly. come here thirty seven thousand is really quite. purple ten thousand really would appreciate the british national party how did an annual rally and make it and i guess thousand people they got two million votes so his part here could have ten thousand people attend their rallies. thirty seven percent of british muslims when identified in a house that they wish to lure in this country that's not small percent if free million people who do you know of the jury a lot genes. do you know what. or yes i really do i mean i have to study video. there's one hundred one hundred courts in this country in the european court of human rights in two thousand and seven was it. always incompatible with western democracy and freedom huge their views on homosexuals they use on women and their views on infidels so this is a system that cannot i guess that you realize your great the rozzers time is the correct characteri

there our people are really getting fourteenth century of operation. and this is in your heart of people that we have to deal with and we've got to we've got to king we need to formulate a new policy. chair a page from what you just said i'm going to go to washington here but what do we do this week we just heard that obama should have told gadhafi got three days to get out the guards we should we say that to the royal family of saudi arabia yes i believe you know obama if he is going to say to you have to leave your office i think you should apply the same rules to the saudi hundred apply the same rules to other gulf states and kings you know he cannot actually just be hypocrite and selective and his enemies or his democratic actually drive so i think the situation in saudi arabia is worse than the situation in tunisia for example or an egypt at least in egypt you have a free press you have you know or at least you know the only privily free press you have elected parliament with or we disagree with it or not you know if you have at least some sort of

grown people. that is what they tried to do but those schools were attacked. knight riders, people who try to be teachers. there was a a lot of a backlash because they didn't want people people -- they didn't want blacks in schools. they wanted them in the field so they definitely try to do that. higher education, howard university started by general howard. they tried to do that but in lots of these little places they were not in control of all of this and certainly once the military leaves education becomes really really sketchy, even more sketchy for blacks during that time period so they tried but there was lots of opposition and violent opposition and many many places. >> linda johnson free his slaves or did he free them? >> after the end of the war they become free. not before then. he may have freed a couple before them but not until after then. >> right here. >> what do you think about johnson's argument of secession was buoyed ab initio? >> well, lincoln said that too, that it is illegal,

at least to a hundred people died.we have this report on how people continue to deal with the consequences more than half a century later. >> you can see that my act nuclear facility in the distance. -- deny akmathe nyack nuclear fn the distance. the of deutzman family lived in a village 30 kilometers away. they had no idea. only once the soviet union had ceased to insist did the authorities are to address the problem. >> they only told us in 1992. that is when president yeltsin came here and said everything was contaminated with radioactivity. and that we had to leave and should be resettled a somewhere else. for years during the soviet era, radioactive waste from the facility was simply poured into the river. the source of drinking water for many villages. vladimir of greenpeace says not only what nyack a nuclear weapons development facility, but it is now used as a repository for spent nuclear fuel. >> the international atomic energy agency had warned the long ago about problems at fukushima. but we only hear about

>>rob: people understand tsunami now. the bridge off to our left, there are hundreds of people in there today. >> i think so, were proud at our radio station to use any kind of a situation where there is a power outage, earthquake, flood any kind of an unusual situation switcher programming and do what we call emergency mode where we open it up to the colors. we become an emergency communication link. after the 1989 earthquake think we were the only radio station that was on the air for several hours after the earthquake. >> thank you michael for joining us. santa cruz remains a local state of emergency they said they will talk with congressman to get disaster declaration done here and federal money on board. right now the situation still uncertain here at the santa cruz yacht harbor the start pulling boats as soon as tomorrow morning. >>pam: our team coverage continues with kron 4 jeff bush to show more of the damage and problems created by the tsunami in santa cruz. >>jeff: it is been a crazy day and santa cruz. things

but if you're born into a society where people respect one another, where people just look at people and just say, hey, man, you are another human being, you're my brother, you're my family, we're talking about the human family now and not just the nuclear family. the human family. >> host: but they're not, you say? >> guest: i said if we had that --. >> host: but you're saying they're not. >> guest: but they're not. >> host: how do you understand it in the united states you're approaching like 60% of the people in federal prisons, local prisons being black and hispanic? >> guest: that's because -- that's because in the drug lords, the rockefeller drug lords that took place in the 1970s where people are sent to jail --. >> host: even if we're talking about murder and robbery, a disproportionate number is of people of color. >> guest: that is violent society, my brother. this is a violent society. and all of the people get along in this society, they'd feel like they must also be violent. everybody has got a gun. and everybody is high. or on some kind of drugs. if you have drugs and g

the people that don't want to know. the people have just... well, obviously in this particular case the people at the a.j.c. they didn't... they didn't see it and they didn't want anybody else to see it. >> they were calling the general assembly, they were calling the president saying "you can't show in this movie" the israeli ambassador. and we know harvey weinstein got so many calls of friends, jewish people, even his old mother told him "are you out of your mind?" and he's "g.q."ing about it. but it's true there was a lot of pressure for not... for this movie not to be shown. >> but on the other side most of the people that have worked on this plu vie are jewish. so it's about somebody's heart and temperament. what does the movie do? it makes you care about these characters, the problem is we're not supposed to care about these characters. they're palestinians. we're not supposed to care about them. well, unfortunately, you do care about them when you watch it and you go, oh, maybe these people aren't all so bad. maybe they're human beings,

people around him? of course not. the subway stops are tracking for people who value the ability to not have a car for every adult who needs to get around. in the developing world cities provide an even more important path. condi dr. hunt the future of the india. this was nonsense. the future of his in the cities. the place where poor indians. it is unquestioned the true the life is enormously difficult. it's a life that none of us would want to live for days let alone years. but they're still reasons why people come the. it still beats the poverty deprivation of the rural northeast of the brazil. it beats living in a world in which time seems to stand still and since mortality is endemic. cities provide the promise. it doesn't mean that cities don't create challenges as related to the clean water point. we are close enough to exchange ideas, we are close enough to affect each other with a disease. if we are close enough to sell you a newspaper i'm close enough to rob you. that's the point of cities req

their i interact with very brief words if you're the attack on people or their wives or or your people don't play in the united. because everyone has their stake and i want to also mention that a new new york times c.b.s. poll actually said that most people oppose taking away a collective bargaining rights bring that into the conversation bill i think that that's part of what really touched a nerve with people on the one hand in the other part of the world people fighting for an expansion of the marcus lee but here you have this governor and his allies that are attempting to restrict it. and people in the united states in respect of what they you know how they view the economic issue the budgets resists the idea of losing the basic rights and i think that this really did touch this nerve that we know whether you're in a union or not how do you touch our rights a collective bargain but you know the other side of that argument harriet is that this is not in this you're not entitled to this man and we've seen a video cline of private sector unions the question of course is with this going

they do sell certain people. a major problem we have is that for people who have gone to prison in california, for this cases for which they were sentenced, the only remedy is something called a certificate of rehabilitation, which is so far from expunge meant -- it is a gold star on your criminal record that you get to take around and show people. that would be my dream to work on that. the other option is pardon, and i think governor schwarzenegger has printed six, and not to my clients. >> nor mine. i want to return to dr. richard s. i think a cut you off, and you were giving us a real perspective on the impact criminal history has on a person's life, and a one to give you back your time. >> i appreciate the legislation and the work that you do any work you are doing, but i think we have kind -- we do not realize how big a problem this has become. united states today, we are this global power. we are fighting wars that do not end. you all know this. and the war has come home. the war is in the streets. we have

and this is that they see the world is all about dead people versus the price of gas how many dead people per penny and of course if they needed kill more people to keep the price of gas down another penny then they're all for it so they have these you know cheerleaders on c. and b. c. these overly coopt only make one in kind of bouncing around saying a kill people as long as gas prices are down another penny and people think this is a cage fight of america is that they've created a global cage fight to keep that but going forward stacey the fact is that price of gas is going to continue to go higher for a lot of different reasons so barack is going to get into some other business other than the exportation of mayhem and murder i would imagine well let's look at this next headline because america as i said is very concerned about what the price of gasoline will be so could the next mideast uprising happen in saudi arabia so this is from editorial written in the washington post by rachel bronson a senior fellow and director of middle east and gulf studies for the council on foreign relatio

how can we help people in our own country as well as people around the world? both melinda, obviously, and helene with care international have a worldwide to make sure people have good health, especially babies and women and children. and that's really what we're going to be talking about is how can we allocate resources? what can we do to make sure people come together to help both people here in the united states as well as not neglect people around the world. >> woodruff: well, dr. gayle, care, the organization you head, works in some 70 countes to fight poverty. how worried are you right now? i mean, in the climate that we are in right now, congress is talking about cutbacks across the board, including in foreign assistance, how worried are you? >> well, i'm pretty worried. i'm worried because i think that if the american people and if our congress understood better what a government investment this is that they might make different decisions. we're here for our national conference. we have some 1,100 advocates who are going to go to capitol hill tomorrow a

led and run by young people young activists people who've been involved again in the politics even before two thousand and eight however in two thousand and eight they mean in the sixth of april of two thousand and eight they made a call for civil disobedience and that was. incited a tea with a raving labor movement in in the dead the city of. which happened to hosts one of the biggest weaving factories in the country and which happened to be a site of labor activism for years and for decades in fact so the intrinsics movement launched the call. for civil disobedience and the facebook group happened to draw a lot of attention from different people now not all those who signed on the group saying that they really you know be striking on that then back in two thousand and eight did they do it however the cause. may have some resonance in terms of you know calling people out of the empathy and and making them feel that there is a possibility for an alternative to reality what about the role of women overall in this in this revolution the same zone on the streets or a cairo many women i'd say

tell people that the reason that. people of color are poor and out of work is because of their culture and because of their mind in the you know how wild they are and so there's all these stories that we see and we take into our subconscious as being the reality of how. poor people and people of color act and we want one when we hear the stories of police brutality compel it seems. we. subconsciously feel like well maybe those folks were acting a little too loud maybe they were doing something wrong because we've heard all of these stories that are meant to tell us that the reason that people are poor and oppressed is because of them selves and so even when you know you have. programs in the community that are supposedly. helping to uplift the community it's always based on changing the culture of that community let's make people be a little less violent as if violence this is the problem of violence stems from the people themselves when we know that the problem of violence in our communities stems from the fact that

weapons and whatnot that threaten their own people as well as other people. the other thing i would like to hear is your thoughts on how this is affecting the continuation of the middle east uprisings, with the attacks and libya are providing more momentum, whether it is having no effects, or even negative effects. guest: i will take the second one first and good morning. it seems that syria is catching fire now. it may be that some of the people in syria are looking toward the actions of nato and the united states and the uae as possibly thinking they could have a backup when things go south, either directly or indirectly. i do not know the validity of that. clearly, there is going to be a continuation of the violence, my guess. this is far from over. when it comes to yemen it is a rather unfortunate country. it is probably going to separate into three four, or more countries. they are running out of water. they may have to move their capital. that may be a moot point because the water table is dropping so quickly. take a look of the map. about 10% of all th

who sigh -- netherlands that people who cycle to work have more than people who don't. also the environment there are a lot of things you can capitalize because you don't have to invest on electric cars or transit or whatever to reduce the carbon dioxide, because the emissions of bicycle is zero. there is a huge problem in the u.s. by traffic noise. a lot of people are not aware of it but the effects for people being constantly having traffic noise are enormously. also, in the netherlands productivity loss because the effect that, for instance, in amsterdam, so many people cycle means that there will be a lot less congestion. when you have ever visited amsterdam, see all of these people cycle and who think what would happen if all of these trips would have to be made by car, then there would be no more amsterdam economy because no one would be able to move about. there would be one giant traffic jam all day. so the bike is the grease in the amsterdam economy. you have to build less highways, you have to build less parking garage. you put the bike -- use very little spac

there are people that are emerging. i am speaking more analytically then and journalist, but i do not necessarily think any one of these have a great deal of traction, because one of the really most unique things is they are really cute gimmick -- really organic and leaderless. no one could claim credit for the egyptian revolution because there was no one in exile but suddenly flew in. it was ordinary people that took to the street. that is a good thing in bad thing. it presented an opportunity of a new generation of egyptian leaders to emerge. this grouping of real -- revolutionary groups that are between 12 and 13 groups, are not traditional political players. that excludes the west party. none of these parties are part of the score revolutionary group. many of them support the ideology, but they're not a part of it. i think what we are with some witnessing is ideologically of a new group. if the ndp is banded there will be a great opportunity for these groups to emerge. these people with their institutional knowledge

i'm in a hurry well yes he's in a hurry to the fraud people that's why the people in the streets let's move on because these guys days are numbered as silver continues to go higher they don't own any silver the central bankers don't own any gold they don't own any silver they're going to buy it three four five dollars an ounce we're going to be buying it from us because we were going to be ruling the global economy will have all the silver they're going to be trying to live on currency and buying a loaf of bread for five trillion dollars which was the exchange rate you know why more republican if you remember one for one for one to wonder five trillion to one and this is where we're headed because these guys are essentially pathological liars and crooks well speaking of pathological liars and crooks state security apparatus here in egypt there are five hundred thousand policemen who operated on behalf of mubarak and his cronies and american crew nice plundering and defrauding and torturing the population here's a tweet from wiki leaks past day in egypt storm secret service so we've bee

people. are missing most religions are there is you yet you said i was a population of mostly. thirty seven thousand is really quite. purple ten thousand really ok with the british national party how does an annual rally and make it and make a thousand people they got two million votes so his party here could have ten thousand people attended rallies is thirty seven percent of british muslims when identified in a poll said they wish to show rather low in this country that's not small percent if free million people who do the will of the syrian lords means. do you know what . all you i mean i haven't studied but. there's one hundred one hundred who are local courts in this country there in the european court of human rights in three thousand and seven was it issued shariah law is incompatible with western democracy and freedom juge their views on homosexuals they use on women and their views on infidels so this is a system that cannot appease actually realign the rozzers time is the correct ch

but i mean you know, there were people are people that have written about this. you need fbi protection and i'm clearly not in that situation. she is an fbi agent. [laughter] >> to see other programs related to this topic visit booktv.org and search vaccine or autism and the upper left-hand corner of the page. >> there is a new on line enterprise just starting up and it is called the washington independent review of books. david stewart is the president of this organization. mr. stewart, what is your organization? >> well it is a group of writers and editors and similarly minded people mostly in the d.c. area who are very dismayed by the shriveling of book review space and sort of the standard media. a lot of book review sections have been folded. they have shrunk and it is harder to find information about what is going on in the world looks these days. coverage of the publish industry has shrunk. so we have decided to try to do something ourselves. this is really sort of from the old judy garland mickey rooney movies where they say let's put on a show. we decide

why do people go to these rooms and sit there and listen to these people? and i don't mean that negatively >> i wonder that too! brian: and there's thousands of them. >> there are. i had a staffer who did just that. he was a professional meeting goer. if anything was interesting said he would tell me. not often, but he would tell me. couple reasons. you know washington, it's a bit like high school. you want to be seen with the you want to be seen with the cool kids walking into the room. you want to walk in with, say, kissinger and brzezinski. you want to be seen to be part of the decision-making process, to have access to that power. being bit high school quarterback. part of it is that, to be seen, this ridiculous juvenile games playing that i don't miss at all but boy, when you are back, it hits you. i do feel a bit high school like. second reason is why i sent second reason is why i sent people out to do it, you want to know what's going on. so a lot of staffers, young people, are sent to take notes and they read some and say gee -- gee, this guy is int

the privatization of the forests that when people power expresses itself and when people raise their voice and protest that. will change its mind we are listening today and we hope that they do think again. all right paul novak thank you very much for joining us now i will just say that this is a very peaceful demonstration here in hyde park elsewhere in london we are seeing signs of violence breaking out particularly protesters throwing ammonia at the police and smashing the windows of shops along bring you more on that when i can. show you some live pictures here from central london doing the reporting certainly just throngs of crowds in central london carrying their placards and screaming at the government certainly since the here those pictures once again since the november december student protests against the tripling of university fees and these protests it's been a tough past five months for the government of prime minister cameron. live in london thank you very much. well radiation levels in the sea near japan's fukushima nuclear plant have spiked to more than a thousand tim

first week of the charlie sheen game people went nuts and you mentioned and now i think people already kind of bored of his antics but you know as a concept this idea that someone can just you know totally say screw you to the network execs and become a star directly to his fans is huge just got to be incredibly threatening to destroy dio's that they can do this right so the hollywood has been blindsided by the internet every step of the way they just they the only response seems to be to strengthen you know converse lee people have been calling for the death of t.v. for years now like oh noes you don't watch t.v. anymore never. i was cutting the cord in just and watched internet on t.v. and there hasn't happened not even slightly for people still believe that america is still addicted to their t.v.'s at large it some ridiculously number of hours per day and so it hasn't happened yet people been calling for the death of t.v. for a while it's going to be a little lost right but a company like netflix another internet wunderkind is now commissioning original t.v. content directly so they

people are coming down knobbhill. the cable car picks people up. takes them to work. >> there still is no other device to conquer these hills better than a cable car. nobody wanted to live up here because you had to climb up here. with the invention of the cable car, these hills became accessible. he watched horses be dragged to death. cable cars were invent in san francisco to solve the problem with it's unique, vertically challenged terrain. we are still using cars a century old >> the old cable car is the most unique thing, it's still going. it was a good design by then and is still now. if we don't do something now. it's going to be worse later. >> the cable cars are built the same as they were in the late 1800's. we use a modern machinery. we haven't changed a thing. it's just how we get there.

they ignore it at their peril because these are the people many of these people voted for them perhaps hoping for an alternative these are people who will never vote for these coalition parties ever again because it is devastating british society and the standards of living of ordinary people are now as we saw for the past couple of days in brussels an e.u. summit with major major protests the police who are cracking down on protesters who are upset with austerity measures further austerity cuts with portugal poised to be forced to accept a bailout from the e.u. but apart from those protests here in europe the comparisons are being drawn between the protests in the arab world and what's about to take place on the streets of london can you draw any parallels to think. in the sense yes that it is ordinary people expressing their the just. expressing their views yes it's about different issues here we do have the right to protest in the right to speak out that is about ordinary people articulating their aspirations and their concerns and saying that they do want something different they d

we never government says there are the people safe get ready because you get their freedom. you know sometimes you see a story and it seems so. you think you understand it and then you glimpse something else and you hear or see some of the part of it and realize everything you saw you don't i'm sorry there's a big. fight . yesterday one hundred members of the u.a.w. descended on a bank of america in detroit jammed up the lobby and shut down the bank why because bank of america didn't pay its taxes in two thousand and nine bank of america made four point poor for billion dollars in profit money left over after the end of the year and paid zero taxes that's right not none zero which maybe that's why the bank could afford handing over a nine million dollars bonus to their c.e.o. brian brian moynihan back in january even president bob king justified the u.a.w. as protest by saying quote anything that would help the middle class bank of america posed when workers are struggling to pay childcare and feed their families bank of america in two thousand and ten made seventeen and a h

you had the people rising up, and then watching as potentially those people are destroyed by their dictator. what we see is britain acting with others in favor of international government, the u.n., and all that is right, fair, and decent, and yet, at the same time, i believe very much acting in our national interests. on the southern banks of europe. i hope that not just across the world but elsewhere we should be able to build the broadest coalition of support for the action we are taking. also, recognizes the hardheaded assessment. >> i think it is absolutely right that the international community takes action. can the prime minister assure me that they're doing all they can to monitor the activity and communication between senior leaders and commanders to the fullest extent of the law? >> obviously, he knows that we do not comment on security matters in this house. making sure we are clear that the arm of international law should have a long arm and that we should gather evidence. >> natasha engle. >> given that all actions have consequences, how can you be sure that what we're doing wi

israeli planes are bombing bombing people. you know just enough it's not about human rights it seems to me that it's. interior arrogance and human finally the united states does not need that oil it's not about oil it does not fit in with the united states master plan to dominate the middle east for purposes of oil and israel so it doesn't make sense it's a pasturing on the part of people so powerful they have no no no carrot for their consequences i think gadhafi and the world are going to take a lesson from this khadafi gave up its weapons get out of the trust in the west and look what's happened. the america's present position at the helm of the campaign has already led to a spike in and he will sentiment on home soil the highest recorded surge in decades that's according to a new gallup poll. he's a guy nature can reports the title of the operation could spell a long and painful conflict for the u.s. coalition is calling this operation odyssey dawn odyssey dawn odyssey dawn what's in a name the names that the u.s. previous

you were put in this position by the people to my right, but the people of san francisco are the people counting on you. [applause] do what you think is right, and remember that as important and impressive as this did not -- as this is, there are hundreds of thousands of people who require your attention and leadership. always remember the people outside are the people we also need to represent. remember that just because you disagree with the other side does not mean something is going wrong. that is part of the process. you are going to have a difficult time with the budget, a difficult time processing the new police chief and the reality is taking place and how they manifest in our county, but always remember to do what you think is right. people like me come and go puree your you are given a moment in time. there is no having made it a success. the mayor is not a place or a definition. it is a direction, and i encourage you to keep the city moving in that direction, and i look forward to the extraordinary work continuing that you have done, a person that has always been people- orie

let's allow the people's house to be the people's house.past few years, there was no open debate. he is tried to get more people involved. we had democrats that brought spending cuts to the floor. anthony wiener was one of my favorite presenters. he was talking about the fact that we are continuing to subsidize mo hair. we are continue to subsidize goat farmers. nothing wrong with it, but we should probably not be subsidizing it. that is good, useful. democrats and republicans are bringing things to the floor, looking at things to cut back. postcode entitlement reform, is it on the table for you? guest: it is on the table for me in this area. i have noticed in this city people think long term and think beyond the budget window. if you are going to make changes in social security, medicare, it is not going to be made in the next 10 years. 55 years and older, we are not going to touch it at all, but that does not fall into a 10- year window. you are talking about people that are younger. is it going to be there the same way that it is now whe

i would say 100,000 people were killed. most people say 200,000. so people are a little bit not in a hurry to create everything. our government has done a number of rather good things but their communication is lousy and it's definitely not enough. but i think if they want to, they can lead the change rather than be the victim of it. algeria, morocco, saudi arabia have the means, totally different situations to leave the change rather than be the victim of it. but they have to do it sooner or later. >> rose: a big question is... and saudi arabia. >> yes, sure. it's not bigger question than anywhere else. >> rose: no, i agree. >> but they have the resources they have a very popular king who is respect and admired. you can fault practically anything you have done since he has become king. and i think he does understand that change is needed and i think he can lead that change. >> rose: what if it becomes in one place or another a massacre, that it would be a terrible judgment of history if you didn't try to do something about it. >> rose: this is a v

tens of thousands of people now getting out. smoke is billowing and japanese media outlets say there's radioactive material in the air. >> it could be nuclear disaster on top of natural disaster. the devastating earthquake and tsunami, the death toll expected to climb. now the race is on to rescue those trapped in the rubble. thousands unaccounted for including many americans. christiane amanpour and a team of our reporters are in the earth quake zone. >>> and there are fear this morning of a possible nuclear meltdown in japan. this is video of a massive explosion of a nuclear power plant just hours ago. and japanese media now reporting that it blew the roof of the building that houses the reactor. but the government spokesman said the metal container that shelters the reactor are not affected and radiation levels around the plant are actually dropping which if true would be hopeful news. >> yes, if true. we should stress that. despite the fact the government officials are trying to reduce the fear level. they've expanded the ev

really does go sour many people have invested just average people pension funds that sort of thing and invested in bonds as a safe asset if this market tanks that will hurt the investments of average people now in addition pawn prices are directly connected to interest rates so it's gone prices go up interest rates go down which is what we've seen now interest rates are at record lows if bond prices go down interest rates are going to shoot up that means that interest rates on just the average person's debt for their home for their credit cards that's going to go up their death going to get more expensive so this could be trouble for just average americans all across the country and real briefly lauren we just have a little while left you know after real estate it seems that everybody was talking about these bond markets how safe they were but when you think what's going to happen if these bomb markets get beat up it could be trouble you know but i have spoken to economists who believe that when they saw this rallying behind vaughan's in the federal government pumping all this money in

a lot of people here are people from china, the people that run most of japan's economy.or the past six days, this woman got her mother was day -- was dead, swept away by the tsunami. she just got a call from her. just a minute ago. she said that she is alive and in the refugee center. i want to go get her a ticket back to china with me, but she said do not wait for me. tokyo is too dangerous. she told me i must go on by myself without her. once again today, giant military helicopters swung low over the fukushima plant. this time, they succeeded in dropping their loads of water, although most of it seemed to miss their target. outside of the plan, fire engines and water cannon trucks lined up to join the battle to cool the reactors. the general opinion of experts around the world appears to be that the situation inside the to cushion the plant is out of control. what we're seeing are increasingly desperate in provides the thames to bring it back under control. if those attempts fail, there is a real chance that this can turn from a major nuclear incident to a full-blown n

triggers fears of possible nuclear fallout the reactors roof has collapsed injuring four workers people within twenty kilometers of the plants are being evacuated. the desperate search for survivors seized japan's entire defense force mobilized after the huge tsunami swept away entire villages and submerged dozens of times over seven hundred people are confirmed dead tonight but thousands more are still unaccounted for. in other news the afghan president says nato and african troops should leave his country just days after having card sized cousin as well as nine children collecting firewood were killed in separate u.s. attacks we report on that story plus. the arab league has reportedly but it's a no fly zone over libya none of which calls for gadhafi to go. this is r.t. it's midnight now here in moscow welcome if you just joined us one is kevin owen in the main use the world's attention still focused on the earthquake disaster in japan of course and crews are now working tonight at the fukushima number one nuclear plants in the tsunami hit north to try to prevent a possible meltdown a

people in their homes. we are working with the tunisian government to establish a camp, flying into and thousand tents and other basic materials that arrive over the weekend. according to the world health organization, the health situation is precarious. so far, tourniquets and surgical kits have been sent to libya as well as medical supplies. whp is dispatching staff to the borders and will do contingency planning for delivering food assistance to people affected by the violence inside libya if there is a need and once the security situation allows. first accounts from people arriving in -- at the border mention shortages including food and petrol supplies. there could be a potential interruption in the supply chain it due to the unrest. rick -- we remain concerned about the situation of migrant workers from sub-saharan african countries to have been so far unable to leave. >> thank you very much. questions, please.

police asking people to stay away. they've had people gathering. police are shoeing them away. >> it is a little surreal, eric, to see this highway completely empty. >> the beach closed to people. that's what you see. park police, san francisco police doing what they can to tell people to stay away or at least update theme what's going on. they haven't had problems with people coming out here to see the waves. they have found some confused homeless people that don't know what's going on. we've seen a couple joggers but people say they can't kick them out of here. they can only tell them they might want to consider a different route this morning. >> right now we do not believe there's a danger to the residents but that's being considered every half hour. if that changes, then we will mobilize and we will evacuate the homes or the areas where we think it is necessary. >> so if you're watching this from home, you can stay there here at ocean beach. they aren't evacuating you. they just want you to stay aware. pedestrians are allowed to be here but her

people get killed or there are strikes in afghanistan they kill innocent people they always use the term nato it's mostly the us and yes the prime minister of turkey is one hundred percent correct but again the hypocrisy is before our very own eyes so all this is is the united states doing what it's become accustomed to do and that is attack any country it wants to with any time any reason that it could make up and the new reason that they made up is perfectly orwellian a humanitarian crisis so you kill people to solve the humanitarian crisis and you take dictators out that you don't like because really what's behind this and i've said it before what did i did states in iraq if their major export was broccoli or would they be in libya. if they were holding on to this sweet crude oil on the planet. and the events in libya are both a reminder of the past as we learn in just a few minutes when i would see the conflict again and this is playing out with echoes of the u.s. led campaign in yugoslavia twelve years ago which claimed at least two thousand civilian lives. and as more money is a sp

there are people that don't have food on the weekend. they will cut out the food program to the weekends. they have nothing to eat. they need someplace to go to claim himself a. -- clean themselves up. they connect you to the community. to get clean water to drink, to have associations with somebody that might be able to tell you something that is helpful. he never was without a job. after three operations, you are stuck. you are still stuck. i would like to say thank you for the opportunity to come before you. i could not believe it, i was broken after working all my life. the family service, those people are doing a great job. thank you.

[speaking spanish] and i have a child with severe artisan -- autism. he needs to speak with sign language. [speaking spanish] and i go to a lot of different programs, principal

the people, they support me. the people they die for me. you can believe a stable man or stable politician or stable president tell these lies to the media? there's something wrong. 100%, there is something wrong with him. not only today, but 30 or 40 years ago. this man is-- he's running libya with fire and steel. nothing more than that. no chance for to you express your view. no chance for to you just put your idea. he believes he is god on earth and you cannot tell him this is right or wrong, never. >> brown: another ambassador aujali, thank you very much. >> thank you very much. >> woodruff: still to come on the "newshour": u.s. labor leader richard trumka; rising health insurance premiums and mexico's drug wars. but first, the other news of the day. here's kwame holman. >> holman: two new economic reports raised hopes today about the u.s. jobs picture. first-time claims for unemployment benefits were the lowest in nearly three years. and the latest measure of hiring in the service sector was the best since 2006. the news sent wall stre

people that do not -- people do not fit the popular image of a terrorist. did not fit the stereotype. that puts a lot more pressure on state and local governments and ordinary citizens to help provide information. we focused on is a lot in 2007 and 2008 and is continuing, cybersecurity. we have seen some very dramatic, publicized attacks. that is going to become an increasing area of concern for the department. >> how well equipped are we to deal with the cyber threat? >> we have done a lot in the past two years. we have basically a whole segment devoted to cyber. we have the national cyber incident center crossed the river. we negotiated an agreement with the department of defense as to how we could use the technologies available through the nsa. we have a homeland security person working at the nsa. there are legitimate concerns, so we have to do this in the right way. i think cyber will be an ever evolving area. the problem with cyber is, almost by the time we are talking about something, they are on to the next thing. it is really a fast-moving field. q

stories like that believe me though people are people people in the new american military could get jobs many other places. to do just for as a solution for their ideas as family is. and his family is going to sit with knowing that he joined under false and most people the average the average military person needs to rely on the person who is left and is right in a foxhole in a firefight works fine and world that he doesn't and he doesn't want to do it but relying on people who are conscripted and we have the best military now precisely because they know that everyone you want to do it world war two and the reason why it worked fine in world war two was because everybody in america knew that they had their kids but was on the line and so that damn well better be a real war that's really worth fighting that's not true that's a rewriting of history had to draft after i mean this is not because everyone was in the military that they decided to go into world war two wasn't a question of that they needed the resources so they drafted people who were fighting on two fronts the pacific and euro
