chinese companies have offered a rescue plan for saab which would give them control of the company. any d.o. would still need approval from gm. >> the arab league has called an emergency meeting to discuss the crackdown on protesters in syria. government forces continued their assault. this video from the internet purports to show fighting which has been -- fighting in a city that has been a hotbed of sids -- hot bed of dissent. we're joined by an analyst. last week the syrian government agreed to an arab league request to pull troops out of residential areas. this has not happened. what action can the arab league take about that? >> first of all, it has been quite an embarrassment for the arab league because it has put quite some effort into the issue, and now it is clear that the syrian government does not care about the deal. there will continue to put pressure on the syrian government to change its policies. bashar al-assad seems to believe that he can persuade his own population to still follow him, and indeed, a large part of the country do still side with him. they do not kno

he broke into a saab. were you broad? is your daughter missing? hall he would say is turn on the news. he took a shower under the rushing water he kept his eyes wide open if he closed them he was scared the arm in the black sleeve across his mind and not until the water hits a his body then he remembers the blow on his right side. the age of real-time news had not dawned and they were not yet looking for him but on the ordinary morning he would have wrestled in the piece with the uproar within him, this is the antithesis to peace. he returned to his desk and made another call to a friend on the editorial board hello there. how the parvic softly modifying the last syllable think of paris. and then andy letters of my name is late mispronunciation was a small sacrifice and then for the ordeals of the journalist i was there at the restaurant where the four men died last night. i heard. let's have coffee one of these days to talk it over. today is insane. parvic taken aback by the lukewarm response was forming his next sentence when the reporter brusho

when asked why he broke into an endless saab. were you rob? is your mother dead? is your daughter missing? the secretary's frantic questions. all he would say to her was turn on the news. he took a shower under the rushing water. he sat with his eyes wide open. if he closed them the image of an extended arm in a black leather sleeves would place his mind. it was not until the streaming water struck his body that he felt his right cheek and temples and remembered blow to his right side when he fell off his chair. the age of real-time news had not done and reporters were not yet looking for him. on an ordinary morning he would have reveled in the peace but against the up or within him this quiet was the antithesis to peace. he returned to his desk and made another call. it was to a friend on the editorial board of a meeting daily. hello there. this is privic. hey, there, privic, modifying the last syllable of the name of privic told him to. he told germans who had trouble remembering his name that it was like paris. then you have me. a slight mispronunciation, he fi

>> guest: it's a saab from the late '60s, two-cycle engine, totally polluting. talk about hidden elements of the car--you put the gas and the oil in the same place and it emitted disgusting smoke, like a motorboat. so nobody is born pure. c-span: so you did you know that this was going to be on the cover before it... >> guest: no. no. they didn't show it to me. i mean, authors are the last to know, and especially a visual author because i came from an art criticism background as well as an architectural one. but, no, i think i got lucky. c-span: what's your next book? >> guest: everybody asks that. i say, you know, "son of asphalt nation." i don't know. i think i'll go back to doing journalism and spreading this message a

he wouldn't have been a victim at all, his mother says, if tim curley and gary schultz had reported saabou say his mother is furious that he's even a victim at all. >> that's right. they really feel betrayed and let down by the system, by penn state. they don't think that anybody is really on their side in this issue until that child came forward in 2009 and was finally believed. you know, he wasn't the first child to come forward and make an allegation but he was the first child to be believed. there were actually two kids in 1998 who were interviewing by police in a six-week investigation and nothing ever came of that. so the other mother we talked to doesn't know victim one. their children are several years apart, but she feels just horrendous and incredibly guilty, even though she doesn't have much to be guilty for. she feels guilty that victim one is even a victim because her son came forward so many years ago. >> tell me about that case. her son came forward in 1998 and told his mother what happened and there was a sting and this mother actually confronted sandusky, she says, with

president of saab, instead of respecting the voices, the un estimates that more than 3500 people have already lost their lives, and thousands more injured. the syrian government has ordered the syrian troops, orchestrated the torture of prisoners, some only children, and president obama prayerfully said that the time has come for president assad to step aside. that was a clear message from our president. the above the administration also moved to implement a range of cuts in sanctions that we discussed a moment ago. i had teamed up with senator demint to call for the sanctions . the transactions between americans and the government of syria banning u.s. services to new investments in syria and banning the implications. after all, the human system banned imported petroleum. since they purchased 90 percent of all syrian oil that is a big deal. unfortunately other members of the international community have stand up against the presence of sod. and i wanted to talk to you about one of those countries, russia. it is my understanding that the vigorous efforts, unable to secure a united nat
