mark schroder let me start with you.h of the current problem in the central african republic has to do with the fact that this was already a long, troubled place? >> well, that's exactly right. if we look at the history of the central african republic, it has been one of insecurity, rebellions, going back decades. even if we look at this most immediate episode of violence and rebellions, we have to take it back at least to 2003 when the previous president came to power himself through all coup. he was overthrown almost a year ago, march last year, and the country has continued to deteriorate and struggle while trying to manage its own security gains. >> ambassador sanders, we saw foreign troops on the ground there, african union and france. but there has to be peace to keep in the first, doesn't there? more troops won't necessarily cure what also the country now, will? >> you have to break it down in to two areas. you have to first control the humanitarian cries discuss the troops will be very help troops will be very he

mark schroder, how much of the current problem in the central african republic has to do with the fact that there was already a long, troubled place? >> if sfwe look at this most immediate episode we have to take it back to 2003 when the previous president came to power, himself, through a coup. he was overthrown almost a year ago, march last year, and the country has continued to deteriorate and struggle with trying to manage its own security, security gains we saw foreign troops on the ground there, african union and france more troops won't cure what ails the country now? >> the troops will be helpful in doing that. you have to at least create a peace corridor so that refugees that need to get out and the idps that are there that are at least safe so that humanitarian assistance can be provided to them. in the long-term, you are absolutely right. troops, alone, are not going to restore peace to car. it's going to be the people of car coming together to do that. >> right now, they seem to be absent the troops, at each other's throats. >> you have to put the whole thing symbol context

schroder, i know its impossible to design a study on the fly, but how about doing nothing with smoking plumbing from half of the adults to one in five now, and frankly the customers dying out the back end, isn't this a product whose best days are behind them any way? >> a lot of people think that, partly that's because we live in gated communities. most people i know don't know smokers. smokers are concentrated among poor people, people with mental illness, substance abuse problems, the homeless, so we don't see them. but the stark facts are sobering. 500,000 people a year die from smoking. they're over 43 million smokers as former minister of australia said doing nothing means killing people. >> we're going to take a short break. when we come back we'll talk about the future of the tobacco industry and the healthcare industry. this is "inside story." >> welcome back to "inside story" i'm ray suarez. 50 years ago nearly half of the people in the country smoked but now it's down to 18%. on this edition of the program we're talking about the ongoing battle against smoking specifically in

then there are the shoulder schroders, people who are ambivalent about the outcome who think this doesn't matter much to anyone south of the border. their view is that of scotland left the u.k. then yes, that would he said that we could just wave them a wistful goodbye and carry on as normal. and then there are those, only a few, who think we would be better off if scotland did leave a u.k., that this marriage of nations has run its course and it needs a divorce. now today i want to take on all of these views. the idea that we would be better off without scotland, the idea that this makes no difference to the rest of the u.k. and the idea that however much we might care, we in england, wales and northern ireland can have no voice in this debate because we don't have a vote. all of the above are wrong. we would be deeply diminished without scotland. this matters to all of our futures and everyone in the u.k. can have a voice in this debate. i want to make this case by putting forward what to me are the four compelling reasons why the united kingdom is stronger with scotland within it. the
