and therefore, i've been talking to many people, young people, old people, many different people are forming different parties. i found out people are talking more than working still thinking we have time. but the fact is we don't have time because in five months these elections will take place and they will be unfair because all the liberal civil parties pro free economy like myself people would have to reorganize, put themselves in one party and go for a competition against someone who has been waiting for that day for eight years. >> you have created a party. you do not want to be president. >> i do not want to be president. i will not even be running for presidency of my party of the party i sponsored when i pushed for because i believe that the party has to be first formed, the members have to elect the president. and i was very keen to show i have no personal gain or wish out of this party except to balance the next coming parliament. >> charlie: but it's interesting, you are reaching out to muslims at the same time you suggest a certain concern about the muslim brother hood. >

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

we have about 60 people on parole, including people picked up by the department of corrections every week, on some sort of provocation. we do not know how many of those will no longer be on parole because -- who will this continue to follow? and who is going to go on the underlying charges, with either the serious, violent offenders, or to the others that would stay at this level. making some assumptions, based on the best guess, we assume that half of them will just go away. that would require new charges, and some number of those would be read -- would be arrested on the new charges. and charges would not be filed. we estimate that we will pick up about 42% as a result of this. these are people in on new charges, who were otherwise part of this group, easily readable and sent off to state prison. >> if this is 42 a month, this is an addition to the 60 people per week? what's this is based on those numbers. >> the potential for increasing the jail population -- sort of guessing what may happen with the other group, that have traditionally been the people who get revoked is about 77.

hopeful, fun time for people. we started actually 8 years ago holding a recovery event in rhode island. it's a way which we give a voice to people in recovery. it's a way for us to tell people there is hope, that treatment does work. there's entertainment and speakers, the bands are playing, and clients are having a really great time. and we're meeting with politicians and other mental health providers. these types of events are important to highlight. it's important because we are educating the public about both mental health issues and substance abuse issues. we're also, by holding these types of events, we're also working to reduce the stigma associated with mental health or drug-substance abuse issues. this year, we're tying it into waterfire. we're taking the light of remembrance from here out into the general public, out into waterfire, the 20,000 people that are there to basically say, each of us is important, each of us has a voice, and this issue is important. it raises a level of awareness to have an eve

we have people living in garages, people renting rooms. people say that there is a parking problem. we have a housing problem in district 11. it is hard for a city like san francisco to deal with, but we have to figure out how we can improve the housing situation for these people living in the sub standard situations. >> what about the issue of homelessness? what are your ideas on dealing with this? >> we have a long-term plan to combat homelessness through a continual of care. it looks at economics, housing stock, health care support, and all those pieces need to be part of our deal with homelessness in san francisco. on the public health side, we need to make sure we have services that are going to help people stabilize their lives, how they can access mental health services, substance abuse services. a lot of people on the street are suffering from a disease of alcoholism, drug dependency. a lot of them are there because they have lost their jobs, housing. some of them are there because of hiv. that is one cause -- one part of the homeless population, but also, being homeless mak

fans do kill people, but they also save people.u -- guns do kill people, but they also say people. there was no black and white. it was in between. situational, it very. situationally, it varied. >> we were looking for people familiar with the issue and to have an opinion. we were looking for anyone knowledgeable on the issue to express their point of view it and help to support one of the sides. >> in the documentary, you shoot a real gun. why did you put that in the documentary? >> we chose to put that in the documentary because we hoped others would gain insights we got. we wanted to try to know what it would be like to shoot again. we knew that guns were powerful. by shooting one, we did gain more insight. we were amazed by the power and how terrifying it was to shoot them. >> what are the gun laws in wisconsin wisconsin has one is called open carry. you can carry it as long as it is not concealed and others can see it. >> we learned more about the different production aspects of the documentary. we learned more about the topic

people are so impatient. they want her to walk out of that rehabilitation center and be back to norm. he said the one thing he has learned about during this whole process is patience. she has some issues with motor skills on her right side because she was shot through her left hemisphere of her brain and she has some language retrieval issues. it takes her a long time to speak. she can, so she is relearning that. some doctors think it is, you know, you would rather be shot through your right hemisphere because that doesn't affect speech as much but he said your right hemisphere affects your personality and ability to read social cues, your interaxe and who you are. he said the other things can be learned but gabby is still completely intact who she is as a person. so you know, it is really quite an amazing story. tavis: i promised we would spend a lot of time on the book. let's get back to "the best advice i ever got." as i said earlier, i love the book and couldn't wait to read it. i just love great advice m

at the time, we were helping a few hundred people each year, and today, we fell over 2000 people -- wed over two dozen people clean up their criminal records. our goal is to help people have a dignified return from the criminal justice system. -- we help over 2000 people clean up their criminal records. the panel today is entitled "paving the road to reentry: clean slate and state law and criminal record reform." the discussion comes at a time when there is an unprecedented amount of people incarcerated. these individuals are returning from prison at the rate of 600,000 per year. in california, that rate is 115,000 per year. in california, over 1 million people have a conviction record, and one in five individuals have an arrest or criminal conviction. so we have to ask ourselves -- is criminal record reform an urgent priority for california? and if so, what is being done? and how can we go further? let's hear what our distinguished panel has to say. our first panelist is dr. steven richardson, a renowned author and professor of criminal justice at the university of wisconsin oshkosh.

those are the kinds of people, the people that they are focusing on. but to be honest, they do not pay bills, they do not have money for advertising. the perspective that comes from those communities are often not what foundation's one. foundations usually go from labor of the month to flavor of the month. we are backed by foundations, so hopefully i am not biting myself in the ass. if you are foundation-funded, you have to focus on what the foundation wants. if you are advertising-focused, you have to focus on what the advertiser wants. so where is the space for this marginalized community? i did a story two years ago that focused on west oakland, dealing with asthma rates. nobody in west oakland had the money to pay for it, but everybody read it. i know because i walked around and handed out paper copies of it. how do we focus on those organizations, the people who cannot do it themselves? i am sorry to answer your question with a question, but it is something i am passionate about. >> hello, i am just graduating high school this year. i plan to purs

we will start the following people, and i also apologize for butchering people's names, which i will do. laura, alisa, k m a commissioner from the animal and welfare commission. from the sierra club, amy, neil, cheryl, vicky, carol arnold. >> thank you, supervisors, for this opportunity. i am a veteran and the president of a veterinary group. i come here as an individual. i have not been given permission to speak on their behalf. it did not come up. something that sally mentioned, about the behavioral perspective. in my 20 years as a veterinarian, i have noticed an interesting thing. i think it is a matter of socialization. the dogs i handle have to be muzzled far less than dogs and surrounding communities. this lends itself clearly to the idea that the dogs are much better socialized, more trusting of people, and thus less aggressive. they are less fearful of routine handling, and much more amenable to living as happy, healthy animals within our community. interestingly, i was thinking about this on my way over, even within the city, i have noticed some differences, and those areas

for people with low vision to get the same information. the shape of the domes, flush transition between the bolt bottom of the ramp and gutter. >> we have a beveled transition on the change in level, tape on the surfaces, temporary asphalt to fill in level changes, flush transition to temporary wood platform and ramp down into the street under the scaffoldinging. detectable ramps. they are all detectable. nothing down below or protruding that people are going to get snagged up on. smooth clean that nobody is going get caught up on. >> our no. 1 issue is what we see here, the uplifting and shreufting to concrete due too street tree roots. here is another problem we have with street trees. if i have i was a person blind, this would be an uncomfortable way to find out. >> we don't want to create hazards. >> sometimes vendors put sidewalk cafes where people push the chairs too far out. >> sometimes it can be impassable. so much foot traffic that there is no room for a wheelchair or walker to go by. >> san francisco is a lively street life, it

. -- for the working people. this continues the trend of taking away money from working people and it comes in the context of yesterday's oral will vote to give $57 billion to $8 billion corporation, twitter. i would hope that the board next week votes against this feet and rescinds its vote on the $57 million giveaway. thank you. >> thank you, next speaker. >> i am here to encourage you to extend the fee. >> thank you. >> it seems we have a pattern here of the supervisors' kowtowing to the partners in san francisco. you will hurt working people in california and in san francisco. you want to give tax subsidies to billionaires. you are really saying that you represent the billionaires. you want to pit the park workers, who need their jobs, against the public. they do not give a shit about the working people of san francisco. this is a sham deal in which your budget analyst said that they put a false budget representation on the board about the money that they will get. they're not getting the money, they are lyin

think that the people who hate muslims are people who hate jews but people who hate christians are backwards people who hate atheists well that's just fine it's not just about republicans with democrats too and it's not so much hate it's ignoring us pretending that we're not here when we outnumber muslims six to one six to one and yet we have no or isn't nation in congress and yet the politicians will not even know when when president obama said we're a country of all these people and nonbelievers everybody was up in arms simply because he knowledge our existence that's a problem so yes there's hatred against a lot of people but the political correctness of hatred against atheists trumps them all even scientologists muslims all of them we're we're dropping them now we're trying to stop oh let me ask you some things i know that obviously you're trying to make their presence felt and last year of course there is a lot of controversy over a number of bus ads this year you know there are some billboards out there promoting this atheist convention that basically said we know there is no god we kn

people speak up. if they are not beating, they are stuck in a traffic jam in the crosswalks, making it even worse for pedestrians to cross. that is an intersection i personally want to point out to you. in addition, there are two whether intersections -- two other intersections. first and folsom and first and essex. there is a whole new population to the area, which was already dangerous in the first place. let's make folsom two ways. south of market in general, it was built as an industrial area for big rigs to drop-off and pick-up goods. that has changed. the population has gone from almost 12,000 to over 40,000 people. a lot of this -- a lot of us make south of market our home. it is no longer an industrial area. we must plan for the increased population. many of the expected 200, 000 people will be leaving through south of market. as you know, four pedestrians have been killed by drivers so far this year. thank you very much. supervisor mirkarimi: thank you very much. >> good afternoon, supervisor

>>nath : there are people who were not mobile before, people who couldn't go to work.they could get a job but they couldn't go to work because it would take them 2.5-3 hours and it would cost them so much money. now, because of the mobility, businesses are able to get people, people are able to get jobs, the economic activity has had a huge impact so the metro just doesn't provide urban transportation. it generates a huge amount of economic activity. >>friedman: natural disasters like the tsunami and earthquake in japan or other events that we're seeing in the middle east been in your view damaging to india's growth or might there be repercussions >>nath : of course japan being such a huge economy with it economy being hit, one's rarely willing to see what happens the impact it will have in its trade with india is just not india's exports, its india's imports. with so much of japanese industry now in stress, there is going to be a problem. the middle east where oil is concerned and where the indian work men are concerned, we had a huge amount of remittances which made

we need to let people know what is going on. people do not know what is going on. we want people to know that is not free shelter. thank you. >> thank you, everyone, for coming out. i want to thank all the speakers. i want to thank everybody who is here. i am a district 6 residents. i am a parent in this neighborhood. i am a service provider, and it is beautiful to me to see our community here. district 6 is a lot of times the overlooked community in this city. people forget that families live here, people live here, so it is beautiful to see you all he appeared on april 16, the department of public works is doing a community clean-up in the south of market, so look into that. come out and support, and remember, this is just the beginning of the process. this is just the beginning of the budget process. if you were not able to speak, write down your comments and put them on the wall back there. i'm sure you can contact supervisor kim's office. there are many ways you can continue to be engaged in this because that is what we need, for the community to come out and

what is so wonderful about the people plan, which, i have to say, is very aptly named for the people's republic of san francisco, is that we are creating a vision for the future, establishing a legacy for who we want to be and how we want to travel and setting a mark for creating a transit first city. i want to thank the transit advocates who are here with us today from have -- who have really been on the forefront of making us think as policy makers of what we needed. there have been many thanks to the city officials here, and i want to add my congratulations to the work that was done, as well as to my colleagues who have been leading in so many areas, not just supervisor mirkarimi, with america's cup, supervisor mar on the land use committee, and supervisor farrell because a large number of folks will be in your district sharing in this event. we are coming together, though, as a people in all facets of our neighborhoods, and i want to thank my neighborhood leaders who just last week got a little preview of the plan, and i know we will be working with staff to make sure that this pla

than calling people, people, then we're using terms that define them by an action and that is inappropriate. new language refers to a person, a john, a lureen, a carlos, daphne. we are people, first and foremost and we may be people with histories of substance use disorders or whatever term that we choose to use, how we choose to call ourselves. but the old way, the old language talks about a person in association with the illness. the new language is the person. the illness or a value-laden opinion about that person and not even referring to that person. thank you, yes, the old language is more judgmental, it makes moral statements and moral judgments and the new language talks about this as a health issue. this is a health issue that we're dealing with and the old language doesn't acknowledge that. and carlos, did that affect you in your path to recovery? it did early on. september is really important because it happens to be my anniversary month... it's also recovery month. it is also recovery month, thank you for pointing that out. but september 23rd will represent my 17th year as a per

the people. of the theater response to the tragedy of the incident are the numbers they keep rising this evening that that happens as he said beloved. by the gallery by the years. actually falling for you all saying there were no getting another line in just as you speaking saying that one hundred twenty six people have been hospitalized twenty two of them are in a serious condition we've been reporting for the last hour the number of injured according to belorussian to be was one hundred three m. sadly that figure has now gone up according to latest reports. just to bring you into the loop as well as i probably know more than you do there at the moment on this one hundred twenty six hospitalized twenty two in a serious condition sadly we're hearing is one some of those injuries are serious and indeed there have been eleven confirmed dead by president looking. metro's a pretty busy mayor truesdell is not particularly big. population of some two million but it is one of the largest subway systems

nations imprison about one hundred forty people for every hundred thousand people but here in the us we imprison more than five times that number seven hundred sixty people for every hundred thousand mostly people who got busted in our field war on drugs and the majority of them are not white there are more african-americans in prison today and were enslaved in america in eight hundred fifty before the civil war the startling numbers really reveal some inconvenient truths about american society but they also haven't come about by accident in fact they translate into massive profits for the prison industrial complex in america a powerful lobby within the halls of congress there are a lot of throwing people in jail isn't the only thing that the new o.e.c.d. report tells us about america we also really know how to waste money on health care more money is spent on health care in america than any other o.e.c.d. nation and yet of those thirty four nations we rank twenty seventh in life expectancy behind slovenia that's because nasa chunks of our health care dollars go to lining the pockets

>> it was closed to people like myself. i am wondering what was done differently. >> i am not sure i know enough about the specifics about that particular day. >> it was not a particular day. >> let me repeat where we are at the moment. we are firmly committed to a youth space. we don't support an unstructured for unsupervised where there is no supervision. what we want to bring to the space is a healthy, safe, fun program. some of the programs that i think are being offered include crotty, dance, spoken word. there is a dodge ball and street hockey program going on in the space. >> again, our recreational programming really does want community employment and to deliver the programs that they see in that space. [applause] >> we're running short on time, becausso i will ask you to be as concise as possible. >> thank you for picking up the pieces for the rest of the year. you have a tough job, and i am sure time will not permit you to do all the things that we are asking you to do. we're very proud and we're very pleased that

when we would ask people about this distinction -- first of all, people can recite law-and- order language in the criminal justice system -- and they can recite that but not the sixth amendment. they also cannot tell you the difference between public defenders and criminal defense attorneys. when we would tell them about public defenders, they but say, oh, i get that. and whatever they describe their political affiliation to be, they liked the idea. they supported it. they wanted their tax dollars to support it as well. they want public defenders to exist but they need to know about public defenders and about that resource question. they need us to tell them. that is why we are here today. that has got to be a part of the mission. so i support everything johnson said, but there is another the to keep in mind. this is the jury pool. the jury pool is constantly affected and infected by nancy grace, law-and-order. it is constantly being polluted -- i truly believe this -- by the media. it sounds silly but it is not. i really believe in the power of media to influence people. that is why i got

these very people were the murderers. who were were actually treated out of town yet again security forces a blue form throw from herat to kandahar took a ferry i mean they're all over the place looking for a specific list of people so. it was or probably something organized even if they were agitators there i mean this crowd ended up being really massive in mazar e sharif is a city and the north that's been known to be peaceful over the years and you don't find taliban there so is that a really bad sign to you that we saw you know go to the to the extent that it did on friday in mazar e sharif particularly. when you don't know that mobs are mosques and in this part of these. very fast because they don't have therefore to go the i think the reason we sold it was or was specifically because most or is safe city and security forces there were not we did not recognize the threat to discredit imposed knew they had been we've been in when they were as when they tried to came to her the next terry oh they were out there in the

people were excited and happy. that is something that is very unique to sports, that sports can pull people together. very much in the same way, the 49ers are an important part of the community and san francisco 's identity, and i would love to do what we can to help them today. >> if you have a lot of projects in your district that you are excited about. can you share any information about the goings on in your district? supervisor chu: our district again has so many families, and we think about how we plan for the future and make sure that the next generation has the amenities that we do not have right now, and we have got a new poll that has recently opened up that we are so happy about -- we have a new pool that has recently opened up that we are so happy about. it is already well utilize. we have two playgrounds currently in the process of being remodeled in addition to a brand-new library that is opening up. we are very excited about what this means for the many kids and families who use the library, go to th

here are all of the people. sami is getting dressed, walking around, and there are attractive women with trays selling cigarettes and western jewelry and turquoise and what have you. all of the staff and everyone, they are all milling around. joyce gets carried away. she's talking to somebody. she couldn't find me. she finally looked around the room and way off in the corner, elvis presley had me cornered. i was against the corner. and he's big. he was like this. i was kind of hidden right behind him. he was talking about the united states army. if you remember, there was a draft during that period and some of the people did not go in the draft. they went to canada or refused. and he went in and served in the united states army and served in jeremy, -- germany, and wanted to talk about it. he loved the army. he valued his time serving. he was sitting there going back and forth about this and that and the other thing. i found it fascinated, here was the man a minute ago that had been up there wiping the sweat and

we have 3% latino people in the city. where were these 5000 people going? they were going to department 42, where the woman judge was going guilty, guilty, guilty, incontinent. we started doing a series of stories. i keep hearing these depressing stories about how you're dealing with budgetary cutbacks, but when we did our story in the public defender's office, there was a wave of embarrassment to say the least, and within a couple months, the board of supervisors added $1 million a year to add lawyers in a lot of misdemeanor court rooms, and starting monday, i believe they are going to start putting lawyers in the apartment 42. -- in department 42. [applause] >> id raises an interesting -- that is really incredible. this practice has been going on for years and years of not providing lawyers. it is a sea change, and because of that, there will be thousands of people who will get counsel. one of the questions i have is as a journalist, how are you able to work with defense attorneys or public defenders to bring like to ordinary in justice salmon -- bring li

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

lots of other people. through that, we still have to work together and put together something that we are proud of and that the city can be proud of. we hope that assets like this wonderful room we are in are going to have a really long life and support the great culture and the great things that make us so proud of being part of this city. thank you. [applause] >> please welcome dana ketchum, having been nominated by phil ginsburg. >> hello, everyone. i want to thank you for this honor. i want to follow a little bit of what the mayor said. all of you can make a difference. do not look at a problem and say that it is too complex or to political to create improvement. for years, managers throw up their hands when faced with changing permits and reservations. finally, a goal was set to organize, treat everyone fairly and consistently, and become more transparent. there were two key factors that allowed these changes to be made. first, we analyze and collected the facts and made a plan. you need to do the wor

we have just an array of people, people that can come talk to you about pain, special pain medication we have a pal tiff care team that can tell you to come -- we are at the end of the journey for instance, that pal la tiff care team does a wonderful job helping family and patients become peaceful. >> today there is so much more to know about cancer and disease st. mary's makes every attempt to know it. >> we do we have a lot of clinical trials, a huge melanoma center. we have many many patients that come to us, when they have been through other treatments already and come to us and say what else can we do. our oncologists are superb they work really well to get the latest and greatest of information and treatment, in my day when i first started there was probably 10 kinds of chemo therapy there is over 100,000 we have immune know therapies and anti bodies we use for treatment cancer care is just starting in my opinion. >> yeah. >> we at st. mary's are trying to include the whole patient the whole spirit of the disease. >> well, i will say at st. mary's it is starting on the right foo

i hope that people can see, homeless people are still nice people.st need a bit of help. >> let's take a look at the video. >> each day i drive by the community mall, i see him wake up and trudge to the same corner and stand there all day. he is a a stranger to everyone and known to no one. is nothing being done to help the homeless? >> nearly 6 million low-income households pay more than half their monthly income for rent or live in severely substandard housing. our recently released annual homeless assessment report found that on any given night in america, more than 640,000 individuals are without housing. >> you can see the rest of this video and the rest of the winning documentary's at studentcam.org. host: our guest is a member of the oversight and government reform committee. ann marie buerkle it is from the 25th district in new york. regarding the debate on the 2012 budget, we heard from our previous guest, concerns about the way that it lays out the map. how would you respond to those concerns? guest: the budget is an excellent effort in ter

people's kids get killed. for it to happen wants, anything can happen wants but for people to be willing with good cheer and high energy to volunteer again and again requires to buy yen at the level at home at the women in the household that hezbollah has worked hard to teach and indicate into their view and they are the bedrock of the etfs and the willingness to fight for them. i write about this a fair amount in the book. the murders have a very different flavor or psychological profile. these people from lebanon were grieving their dead children. nobody has said it i am happy that my child died but they did say i am proud. and i will send another kid to do it. but they work quite well with the surviving children to instill a sense of pride with the martyrs of the family and it is the thing that makes hezbollah people willing to die such a stable part of the movement that they can count on. in some ways it is breathtaking the sophistication of the social network that has built up around the idea. when a youn

i think the people of san francisco and the people of new york understand we have an obligation to help those who are not as lucky as the rest of us. i wish we did not have a problem, but as long as the problem is there, i think the people of san francisco and the people of new york city understand their obligation, and we are going to do everything we can. >> [inaudible] >> i just know -- i took the bar in. it was a fast ride, and walked two blocks with the mayor. it is like new york, i'm sure there are places people go. what we do on the last monday of january -- we send out 500 volunteers dressed as vagrants, and we assign them to different places around the city where you might find homeless, and we send out 2000 volunteers who go all night and tried to count, and we assume we get the same percentage of the actual population as the decoys, and it has been coming down about 13% each year. i have not got the numbers for this year yet. we should be getting them in the next few weeks, but it is a great challenge, and we have about 2500 people living on the streets of new york city, and

and the last time i checked, it was of the people, by the people and for the people, not over, under and around the people. but there were 54 representatives who recently broke away from the leadership and took a strong stand. they refused to vote in support of the last cr because it didn't remove 105 billion from obamacare. and they simply said to the congress a familiar phrase, hell no, we won't go. they are truly the heroes of the house and i want to thank them all and then to know that america has your back. [cheering] it was made clear with absolutely no doubt, with absolutely no question the american people said through on the brakes, let's go in reverse. we must make serious cuts to the budget. we must not raise the debt ceiling and we must defund obamacare. [cheering] i wrote all day yesterday on a greyhound bus from ohio. i live in john boehner's district and i got up at 4:30 in the morning and i got here last night at 10:00 at night and there's only one reason i did that and that is because i love my country. i love my country with a capital li love my country and right now

people as enthused as maybe the older people are. actually. very good for a country that younger people coming to church not only just to celebrate the feast itself but most of them trying to go through the events and periods and during the days of preparation for this easter service for instance in our parish a lot of congress are going to zeeshan so they were coming to us and helping to consecrating always food that people bring whole day long. as we call. up and say with me been cordoned different things another thing to lucia's cake yes if they can stay away from the self at least a creature. that's a sign of resurrection of the peace that we have today. let's listen a little bit more now nineteen minutes to midnight this saturday night thanks for being with us on the r.t.e. international news channel from moscow you see these live pictures from central moscow. as we head towards easter sunday just ninety minutes away from it now with me father yogi machine talking us through what we're seeing will give you a bit more flavor i'm

people needed food and water and the thousands and thousands of people piled into the stadiums. president bush seemed to be aware. so at a minimum i think that the insensitivity was the problem. kanye west of course then went further and said president bush doesn't care about black people. i did ask president bush about this in an e-mail exchange we had for the book, and as you say, he was very wounded by this and still it's something that's just under the surface with him. he felt his personal life he had never been accused of being a racist -- he'd been brought up in the segregated environment of texas are not met land to the dhaka -- mcminn. but he pointed out for me the other side of it, talking about this oscillation. the public policy, public insensitivity and private action. he pointed out that he did promote and name the two highest-ranking african-americans in history and condoleezza rice and colin powell as national security advisers for condoleezza rice and the secretary state and of course colin powell in the first term and he says he's been given a lot of credit for

i want to trade with people and visit with people but to just not fight with people and necessarily thatt would be nonintervention, and that would be one part i think would be so important. the other of course is based on free markets. the free-market system the transactions are voluntary control of the contracts are important, you have sent money. today though instead of the government protecting and enforcing our contract the government is always breaking our contract and imposing the rules and regulation on the contract, and how about property, they're supposed to protect the value of the private property to make our decisions but just try to use your property you have to get permits not only from your local and state people you have to go to the federal government and talk to about ten agencies in washington before you can even use your own land that get charged a lot of taxes and they take away your land so there's times i.t. we just payment for our land. we need to take our property back and say it's our property if we aren't hurting anybody else just leave us alone.

to function people will industry. and revealing how that ultimate citizen uprising and it's a movement that is sweeping the nation all across the country to me involves millions of people this is. the. theory that being secretly guarded to suit you jindal is a mirror of its corporate elites so as exposing the astroturf nature of today's tea party movement the right way to go can deal a generalized movement trying me now to talk about this issue and his film is director producer talking old copy welcome to the program thank you very much and thank you for joining us in our new york studio what does the average american not know about the tea party. well us. the fact that there's a lot of corporate money behind that but there's a lot of free market ideology driving the groups of brain effectively deciding the talking points for the party movement over the last eighteen months. why is it that the media in the united states i mean typically if they were to introduce a representative government or a head of state or so or

and the right people, as it happens, is a very broad swath of people. it is not just outstanding researchers, it is this broad spectrum because there is no gene for the human spirit, but there is a little signal. one of the signals is someone who gives up so much to take such a huge risk and to come here despite our recent signals of not particularly welcoming them is someone who has something that we probably want. and if you give me three years, we'll have that quantified a little bit better. thank you. [applause]>>t. that was excellent. we do have headsets and translation services available. if you require translation assistance, please see sally in the front of the room. we will start the panel discussion now. we are very happy to be joined by a panel of distinguished experts on the subject. and hear their advice and insights. u.s. immigration policy has become a confusing patchwork of contradictions and controversy resulting in the scapegoating of the immigrants, and also a broken system that many say is totally out of touch with reality. the need

they are find people. and yet there's a small minority of muslims that have engaged in terrorist acts that organize to do those things. and we are reluctant as americans to take up that debate and compete with those ideas. they are not reluctant. they are out recruiting. they are out raising money. they are out organizing, and they are now planning attacks against the nationstate concept. because they have a conviction that it is they're going to do that. >> so the fact that we are not willing to engage in that debate, or not skillful at it or reluctant to do it, leaves people with a vagueness as to why, why people have to do things. the wonderful thing i found was that many women in the armed forces is that they are there whether they are serving in korea or in bosnia or iraq or afghanistan. they know what they're doing. they understand it. they are proud of what they're doing, and thanks to modern communications, and e-mails, they are able to compete with their families, and their families up having a se

there are people in libya who also recognize that there are cia people among the libyan opposition the guy who came back from northern virginia for twenty years who is now one of the commanders of the military is somebody who clearly was involved with u.s. intelligence during that period there is a mixed bag of the libyan opposition in terms of what people have asked for what they want the other thing that i think is makes this all very problematic is that in the context of the arab spring we're in each of these situations they began whether it was egypt whether it was tunisia whether it's been yemen bahrain all of them have faced massive military assault at the beginning only in libya was the decision made to take up arms i'm not going to second guess that this is not innocent but. there are consequences. all right and that's why as we. saw her the structure of the notion of that's. why is that is because of a very good point why is it different because it is now with these different i just think. i don't personally think it's a numbers game other think in terms of victims being a num

what most indicated people know about tet and what people know from history books is it was a surprise attack, against largely symbolic targets in vietnam. intended to turn the american people against the war, to bring johnson to the bargaining table. none of them are true. it took a lot of people behind a surprise but mainly journalism, washington and folks in the united states for not paying attention. they were taken by surprise the people on the ground in south vietnam knew it was coming. we captured documents that detail what the enemy was planning. u.s. embassy month before the attack gave a briefing in which they talked about what they thought was coming. if you go through january of 1968 which was the month before the attack happened which took place at the end of january our forces went on progressively greater states of alert. our decisionmakers talked about the coming attack. there was a story three days before in the washington post talking about the expected spring offensive that was coming. furthermore the enemy when they launched their attack because of miscommunications

none of the people in this office are shocked, but i am shocked at how few people realized that every single building gets subsidized by proposition 13, regardless of how big or small they are. unfortunately, we have had to pay the price. we have seen a huge shift from who pays property taxes. 30 years ago, over 60% of property taxes were paid by commercial retailers. today, it is 43%. so the thing that we passed to protect home owners is now subsidizing somebody else. we felt that a fact. that meant higher fees at the university of california, state university, university college. it has meant fewer classroom -- larger classroom sizes for people k-12. it has also meant that we have cut our social contract, in terms of people most in need able to get help. whether that is the elderly who need help at home, mothers with children who really need this money. that is why we need city government to be as innovative and compassionate as the people of san francisco. the best argument we could make today is to make sure that every day we are making government work better. the most progressive

so many of the people i saw and listened to were american., in a funny kind of way, of watching the royal family. that perhaps controversially you got rid of. >> there we have sir elton john, of course. there are not that many celebrities coming today. i was surprised. david beckham and his wife victoria beckham will be there. guy richie, madonna's ex-husband, also a film director. i believe kanye west was invited, at least that's what i read, because prince william liked his music, but he's not in attendance. it's not that heavy on celebrities, is it? >> i don't think they wanted a great, big celebrity wedding. what they really wanted was to have a wedding where they could invite their friends. obviously they've had, because of who prince william is, he has to invite other people. but they wanted their friends. and not celebrities, they don't need to show up because they're the biggest celebrities themselves. >> victoria arbiter, we were talking about david cameron and the austerity program. in some ways prince william and kate middleton hav

as representatives of the people of san francisco, you should not be party to keeping people out. this would be true whether the fee was a success for a failure, but it is a failure. the city needs revenue. we agreed. that is why we work hard to pass revenue measures that would generate meaningful ongoing money for the city without imposing a barrier to public use of public space. the ordinance adopted by this body last year to authorize the nonresident fee was amended without objection under president chiu's gavel. to have the new fee expire is a task for voters. was further amended without objection to have the non resident fee son said june 30, 2011. these were promises to the people. the share of revenue needed to fill the budget gap is less than 1% of the new tax revenue. how can we be expected to support and get out the vote for future much-needed revenue measures if we cannot rely on the legislative promises made to the people? fear tactics are being used to divide us. not all revenue is good revenue. we need to find good ways to raise revenue. thank you. supervisor chu: th
