not confident to what degree our sincerity was conveyed, but we are working together with the dealers other customers who support us, our suppliers and other colleagues and our employer -- employees, and they all supported me, so i held on so far. >> larry: mr. toyota, would you say you were treated fairly by the congressmen? >> translator: this was my first opportunity to experience the hearings. i'm not sure if it was fair or not, but i would say i wonder to what extent people were able to understand what i was trying to say, and i would like to continue talking to people until they come to understand us. >> larry: do you think -- what do you think your grandfather would have said about all this, mr. toyota? how disappointed do you think he would be? >> translator: well, my grandfather probably wishes that he is telling me to regain the trust of those customers who are driving our vehicles. you have to take the leadership to work very hard so that we can win back our customers. i'm sure he is really cheering us. not confident to what degree our sincerity was conveyed, but we are wor

i send my sincere condolences to jordan's family and friends.e are committed to preventing them people from, preventing young people from starting to take drugs. the advice is clear that just because the substance is legal it does not make it safe. we are very concerned specifically about the harms of methadone, and the advisory council on the misuse of drugs is considering this and similar compounds an absolute priority. we will receive their advice on the 29th of march. subject to their advice we will take immediate action. >> mr. gregory campbell. >> mr. speaker, can the prime minister tell us when the more than 40,000 policyholders, including many in northern ireland who have withered many years for a satisfactory outcome be likely to be informed of a positive result given the thousands of them have passed away since the company began declining business ten years ago? >> i understand. the government expects that john shattuck is undertaking this report to submit his about report in may of this year. we have undertaken to provide command we h

but i do think in contrast to some other people that he is sincere.st is trying to find his waythis. the i think -- i heard a sincerity that i have not heard -- not in that scripted appearance last month. i do think that he is aware that the public has lost total respect. i think he's trying to gain that back. people are going to want these details about what exactly happened that night and all that and they are privy to the texts and that stuff, that aspect of it, some people want every last thing they can wring out of that they won't get that from him. they should accept that. i think he was believable and that he truly understands the scope of what he did and wants to somehow become in the good graces the american sporting public. >> fascinating interview last night. thank you so much. we'll talk to you in the weeks ahead as we lead up to the masters and tiger's return. thank you. >>> up next, a bigger tax refund for you? that and the rest of the day's top stories are ahead. plus, one viewer noticed something interesting about our health care refor

we have welcomed all the sincere attempts to relaunch the peace process. we have welcomed the new directions of president obama, particularly the two-state solution, and work with the u.s. administration in continuing effort to translate these visions into reality while preserving the principles of our positions that were determined by the arab summits and initiatives, and have reiterated these positions everywhere. we never came under influence and did not abandon our role, and cannot allow for the palestinian voice to be absent from any forum, but we wanted to be brave and courageous as presented to defend our rights, and have reiterated it in all international forums that we are committed to the peace option with which we believe that it needs the requirements that the international community has established and president obama to relaunch the peace process and negotiations, the total freeze of settlements activities in jerusalem and the rest of the occupied palestinian territories. and the clear statement of the framework of the peace process -- we hav

underlying argument for and against legislation outlawing using a hand-held cell phone while driving were sincerely rooted in safety. >> protection is a probable cause perricos law enforcement will have expanded powers to pull them over for additional questioning. >> the ban would not apply in emergency circumstances. drivers would be allowed to use and handsfree device. first-time offenders place at $100 fine. the court would waive the fine if the person prove they have acquired and is free device or the built-in feature in the vehicle. repeat offenders will be fined $250. opponents charge the law takes away ordinary and routine things perform daily by millions of people. >> they are using them for items like gps. they applaud the men, they use their ipod, and under the bill, can you tell me what i can do with my hands? you do not need a study to teach common sense. >> it is prevent it. it is about safety. >> the senate also passed a bill outlawing watching tv while driving. meanwhile, the house has a similar cellphone ban on driving bill, but a house committee has that on hold. >> stay with us. t

some of them sincerely believed we should do more on this aspect of the bill or that aspect. the overall architecture was actually something that was right down the middle. >> let's talk about where we are politically right now many. i don't have to tell you passage of this bill and turning it into law has left this country as politically divided as i think it has been in a long time. you might be able to cite examples, but the vitriol, the rhetoric, the sniping, the threats, how are you possibly going to continue with any kind of legislative agenda when your opponents have said to you, i'm not going to cooperate with this president, with these democrats unless it is a matter of national security. how do you move on? >> yeah. well, first of all, i think a lot of the rhetoric has been overheated and overblown. this is what happens in washington when you have a big debate. suddenly the passage of this bill is armageddon. as i pointed out, the next day after i signed it, i looked around, no asteroids hit the planet, no cracks appeared in the earth. this is a bill that is going t

. >> they are sincerely rooted in public safety. and a concern that the law will violate civil liberty. >> id violates civil liberty. i think we are giving up something that the law will not be able to give us back. >> it squeaked by by the slimmest of margins. the ban would not apply to our emergency circumstances. drivers would be allowed to use a hands-free device. police could not pull you over unless there was a primary traffic violations such as beating. first-time violators face a $40 fine at but not points unless it causes an accident. still, opponents charged that the law puts government inside your car. it smacks of 1984, and prohibits doing routine things performed daily by millions of people. public safety trumped liberty. >> it is preventable. >> it is a matter of common sense. the senate also passed the measure banning watching tv while driving. similar bills are stuck in a senate committee and have been there for nearly a month. committee members said they wanted to see what the senate did first. >> one day after pres

but he saw what one person could do if they were determined enough and sincere enough and gave it their all. but he was also, give a little more of his history, served in the texas house of representatives for six years and then elected to the texas senate in 1960. and then in 1972, the 2nd district of texas elected charlie to the u.s. house of representatives. and it wasn't until 1996 that he decided not to run again. his slogan that he used throughout his campaigns. pretty well summarizes the man, wilson gets it done. and charlie did. now he is from what some people call the bible belt. and what i've heard from constituents many times is yes, we knew about charlie's issues, but the thing about charlie, he was always honest about them. and i can't help but -- i will never forget when we were naming the v.a. clinic for the man who is the reason -- it's in texas, the v.a. secretary came and spoke and i had the honor of introducing charlie and charlie got up. and he was really emotional. and he told the crowd there -- there was a huge crowd that assembled at the civic center in his honor

>> i, like he, is start to hear of the death of stephen oliver in october last year and i send my sincere condolences to the family. understand in london and greece they are ready to provide advice and assistance to mr. oliver's family as appropriate for the advice on seeking further information about the circumstances of his death and i will make sure that is done and your colleagues will move further into any concerns the government may have. >> can the prime minister confirm that he condemns not only the use of false passports and criminal operation but any act of state sponsored assassination anywhere? will he drop the government plans to amend the law in universal jurisdiction which has been justified on the basis of the need to protect israel's right to view diplomatic conduct and proper intergovernmental engagement. standards for which the government is showing utter contempt and disdain with which they did last week. >> where there are questions about the misuse of british passports, they have to be answered. there is an investigation, i would not draw immediate conclusions withou

the proponents' arguments are sincere to make a difference, but history shows that it is not an effective way to manage programs. i want to explain how a misguided quest for game-changing technologies and flexible paths similarly to what is currently proposed has led to futile spending efforts over the past 18 years. this is a chart of nasa's human space flight development programs from 1992 to 2010. the red areas are canceled programs. blue, completed programs. ongoing, yellow. as you can see, we only have two ongoing programs out there right now. and they are the commercial -private programs. we have the international space station still going strong, probably going to go beyond 2015 to 2020. and then the only other thing is this program that failed. this is one of the challenges of nasa. we go through all these programs and change with different administrations and another change, a huge change in our human space flight path by shifting gears in the constellation program and going to some unknown proven technology. i support the private sector. they have a role in certainly some cargo,

signed sincerely, steven l. bashier," governor of kentucky. that governor could have come from any governor in our nation. from any governor in our nation. that letter could have come from any governor in our nation. that is the employment picture in the economic shirt in my state and so many other states across the nation. please, when we get down to the budget debate, we should be sensitive to the fact that they're helpless to do to some of the procedural moves made on the floor of the united states senate. it is time for us to stick together, both parties i hope, in an effort to stand up for the unemployed and get this economy back on its feet. i urge my colleagues to defeat the bunning amendment. it will only slow down the unemployment benefits these people have been waiting for and are worried they may not receive. it will mean that more and more people will fall out of coverage and health insurance and it will mean that medicare services will be available to seniors across the nation went out to decide that they're not being reimbursed e

i'm sure the whole house will also join me in sending our sincere condolences to the people of chileerrible earthquake. >> misses out underlying? >> thank you, mr. speaker. indeed, the whole house will wish to join the right honorable lady in paying tribute to those brave men who have given their lives for our freedom. and also of course to the people of chile. can the right honorable lady please tell the house why has manufacturing decline faster under this labour government than under any other administration ever? >> indeed. indeed, this is just typical of the conservatives -- [shouting] -- talking the country down. british manufacturing is strong and british manufacturing has a great future, particularly advanced manufacturing, and those supporting digital and the creative industries that conservatives constantly described britain as heading towards an age of austerity. we do not share that pessimism. we are optimistic for britain's future, including manufacturing. >> mr. andy bean? >> thank you, mr. speaker. we decide to relocate its recession development facilities to cheshire

as we honor their memory, we send our sincere condolences to the families and loved ones who feel their loss the most. the debt that we owe them can never be repaid. mr. speaker, the whole house i think we'll want to pay tribute also to the life of michael. you'll be member as a man of the principles was in the views of many the greatest parliamentary debater of his generation. mr. speaker, this point i had meetings with others in addition to my duties in house. i will have further such meetings today. >> the whole house will want to concur with the words of consoles is the prime minister has offered to those of the rifles who lost their lives. we feel that loss at the loss of the families there intensely but it is matched with pride at what that regiment has become. the army families federation has carried out trials which prove that it is unlikely that the vast majority of our armed forces serving overseas will be able to vote in the coming election. will the prime minister intervened to assure that we don't have the perverse situation that we have people fighting abroad for others to

we have welcomed all the sincere attempts to relaunch the peace process.e welcomed the new directions of president obama, particularly the two state solution. we worked with the u.s. administration in a continuing effort to translate this vision into reality. we are preserving the principles of our position that were determined by the arab summit and the arab initiative, as we have reiterated these positions everywhere. we never came under influence and we did not abandon our role. we cannot allow for the palestinian voices to be absent from any form. but we wanted to be brave and courageous and present to defend our rights. we have reiterated in all international forums that we are committed to the peace option, with which we believe. we believe that it meets the requirements the international community has established, and president obama, to relaunch the peace process and the negotiations, one of which is the total freeze of settlement activities in jerusalem and the rest of the occupied palestinian territory. the clear statement of the framework of the

things up, but i'm still dying to have that conversation with them, where there's a certain level of sincerity and they're saying we do want this to get cleaned up. help us doing it, whatever we can do as a team, let's do it, but that would have happened two years ago. >> mary jo, from what we gather, when they met, shewas 17, he's a counselor at a church, so it sounds like he's preying on her. and how does someone do that? your pgnant wife, you're going to prostitute her on the internet? >> this guy is a convict. i was listening to what you're saying about craigslist. part of the reasons they're a convict is they're dishonest. they can use any loophole. i cannot believe this girl's father, first of all, was okay with a 17-year-old and a 32-year-old. and, you know, the churches are a great place for these pedophiles and these, you know, predators to hide out, because they're always around young people. they like young people, because young people do not intimidate them. they use their experience and use the way they are to seduce people. he seduced this woman. he's abusive. tom. >> what's the

i send my sincere condolences to jordan's family and friends. we are committed to preventing them people from, preventing young people from starting to take drugs. the advice is clear that just because the substance is legal it does not make it safe. we are very concerned specifically about the harms of methadone, and the advisory council on the misuse of drugs is considering this and similar compounds an absolute priority. we will receive their advice on the 29th of march. subject to their advice we will take immediate action. >> mr. gregory campbell. >> mr. speaker, can the prime minister tell us when the more than 40,000 policyholders, including many in northern ireland who have withered many years for a satisfactory outcome be likely to be informed of a positive result given the thousands of them have passed away since the company began declining business ten years ago? >> i understand. the government expects that john shattuck is undertaking this report to submit his about report iy of this year. we have undertaken to provide command we hav

but many doubt the sincerity of van der sloot's apology. >>> at that age i also had contact with people. they can also help me. but anyhow, i rather not name those people. as they have never, during all this, they've always been good to me and vice versa there. therefore, i'm not going to say who it was. but it's not my parents, for instance. but just someone who's a real good friend of mine. >> with a boat? >> yes. >> then it's done. >> right now we learn that aruban dive teams have been sent out by prosecutors to investigate grainy photos that surfaced, we found out about them last week. we reported it friday night. within 24 hours aruban police had sent out dive teams to try and pinpoint what you're seeing on the top left of your screen, a spot where american tourists who were out swimming and snorkeling, took what they believe to be a photo unwittingly of a human skeleton, the remains of a human body. we are taking your calls live. but to marc klaas, president and founder of klaaskids foundation. marc, what do you make of all this? >> well, you know, if i were natalee's parents, i w

i hope congressional republicans will take the work as sincerely and seriously as the chairman takes own colleagues will do so as well. they will come to the table without preconditions, ready to contribute their ideas and not just their criticisms from the sidelines. the commission has -- is bipartisan and won the vote of 16 republicans in the senate. i was disappointed to see that several republican supporters of t!e bill voted against it. as soon as president barack obama endorsed it. social security reform was worked on in the '80s. the real work of cutting deficits is so easy to demigod that rarely succeeds and will not succeed in my opinion on lusby have support from both sides of the aisle. that is one reason why the fiscal commission must not take any option off the table, from raising revenues to cutting spending. both parties have a duty to appoint members who are willing to compromise and make tough decisions. it is clear to me that the commission takes -- if it takes a one hand approach, it will fail politically and substantively. i want to say a word about the senator ry

even recognizing sincerity, and i quote, no one have been more resolute and uncompromising, struggling for peace than the prime minister, end of quote. so the purity of chamberlain's motive for peace was never in dispute. the agreement cannot be rotten just because it was based on an error of political judgment. putting britain's trust in the hands of the serial betrayer. what is rotten? my answer the one with whom it was signed and not signed. it was meant to eradicate it himself. not recognizing hitler as a radical person was a bad judgment. it's what issues me to topic of compromise and rotten compromise. by conveying to me both a strong sense in the importance of of the spirit of compromise in politics. but also by conveying the formative experience of his generation, the munich agreement as definitive rotten compromise. we were discussing one and i complaint i i guess dig thanty by the politics. both who see chamberlain's umbrella everywhere. it didn't mean that much and ended the story. the men will sing heating fiercely on top of the wind blowing. it's like intense steam locomot

stew mac may been so deeply sincere. he's observant catholic. he will be excluded at least by this group and by the sound of what chairman lsh lsh eat me say he said the plea significance was made. people should be grateful. i think that the chairman and all due respect to chairman steel this is the fact that there are other people that benefit immediately from this. people that have preexisting conditions. people can go for 26 years old and remain on their parents. you act as though 33 million. they don't note. so i think that they have more reason to vote now than they did yesterday. i think they will come out and vote. >> i disagree. >> historic turnout in a midterm election. obama taz 60 percent of the electorate voting. in midterm elections historically you have had mid 40s. it's the base of the party that go and to get the kids to get the latinos especially with no i am brakes reform on the table to give the other african americans to vote in numbers they did in mother carol loon gnaw. >> when people voted hor record numbers. this change i

i don't question his motive or his sincerity. but i think in all candor let's understand where we are at this moment in time. during this one-week period of time while the senator from kentucky could have offered an amendment, he didn't. and, as a result, on sunday night unemployment benefits were cut off for thousands of people across america, assistance for health care insurance was cut off all across america, thousands of federal employees were furloughed, federal contracts for construction were suspended. why? because he didn't want to offer the amendment that he's offering tonight. well, i'm glad he's offering it. and i'll tell you why i'm going to oppose it. he knows and i know that if we don't pass this bill as it passed the house of representatives -- if we make a change in it, we are destined to send it over to the house to at a minimum wait several days or even longer for a conference committee to resolve his amendment. and what happens to those unemployed people during that period of time? they don't receive checks. 15

are very sincere. i'm not sure if the best way to come to some deal is to make these types of pronouncements if we want to work and negotiate, let's do it like all professional negotiations, let's try and make it happen. if we can come to an agreement, we will. i can tell you as the mayor of the district of columbia, we'll try and make a responsible deal for the people in the district of columbia. if we see one, we'll send it to the council. if we don't think it's a responsible deal, then we won't. >> okay. we did hava couple of e-mails we want to get to. >> fantastic. >> and this woman -- we have an after picture. this was about ward 7 neville thomas elementary and the person wrote in and said there was though crossing guard there, that the cars constantly go through stop signs and now there is a picture of someone who was placed there so i'm sure this concern -- the participant -- the parent is happy to see that. >we apologize to the person that it wasn't going as it should have been. but the communi

elmendorf, i know he sounds very sincere, that he is doing everything he can to be fair and objective, but when you as the c.b.o. director knowing that you really probably would rather not be wood sheded again at the white house, and knowing that if you do not allow any of these wonderful republican ideas to be scored, you can profoundly change the discussion on health care in america. you can prevent some of the best ideas in america on health care that didn't just come from the people whose names were on the bills. the ideas in my health care bill came from brilliant people around this country who have dealt with the issue. i appreciate newt gingrich sending friends of his over, some of the brightest minds in america on the issue of health care to help come up with what would be the best proposal, best way to do things, i appreciate his help and those he sent over. now you get a score and see what you got. and i appreciate it. i can't get a score because the so-called fair and objective c.b.o. want to score 50 democratic bills, six republican bills and one of those will not be mine.

why not just to sit idle and transform the game from a sincere, genuine effort to have a break through onus of responsibility will be thrown on the israeli shoulders. so that's why i think for us the real test and real interest is to come to the t room where negotiations are made. not to deal with all these... >> rose: and you are saying that if, in fact, the palestinians come to the table in the room at the table without an american... without george mitchell going back and forth in the room... >> with george mitchell sitting around the table. >> rose: but directing, there's a real possibility... >> there is a possibility, clear and significant one, to have a break through. but it will be proven only in the test and if it fails everyone will know who's responsible and we will have we feel that this is... >> you want to convince the united states that you're not standing in the way of a peace agreement with the palestinians. >> both the united states and our own citizens. our own citizens are going to live through quite tough experiences if we cannot reach peace. they deserve knowing w

i sincerely urge you to vote no. this is the wrong bill at the wrong time.ime when 15 million americans are out of work, it's the wrong time to hit small businesses with more taxes and more requirements. but the time when premiums are surging for working families, it's the wrong time to pass a bill that everyone acknowledges actually going to increase premiums. at a time when we have a $3.8 trillion budget, 40% of it is deficit spending, 40% of it is on the credit card, it's the wrong time to pass a new massive government spending program. and at the time when americans are losing trust in congress, it's the wrong time to strike backroom deals and pass a bill over the will of the people. everybody in this body acknowledges the need for real health care reform, but this health care reform will make things worse, not better for the people we serve. we should not let the hunger to do something, anything, trick us in to passing a bill that will cripple free enterprise and permanently diminish the freedom of the american individual. today i'm reminded of a quote

sincere protests should be respected in america and shouldn't be protests unless there is proof beyond reasonable doubt. certainly that is not the case with the tea party. they are not responsible for loons who may lurk among them. finally any media person using the race card should be called out by you. turn them off. cancel your newspaper subscription. that's the memo. now for the top story tonight, reaction, we tried to get jonathan lewis, emanuel cleaver and jesse jackson jr. to discuss they all declined. with us now is a man who is watching the situation closely the reverend al sharpton. i just bloviated for three minutes. what say you? >> i say that everybody has to be very careful how to analyze what we are watching. all of us that are in public have to be very careful of our words. i have gone through that in the past where you say things people accuse you of saying something you didn't. but then you have blatant examples when people are using racial language, where people spit on a member of congress. that's not a gray area. >> bill: are you talking about the guy with the hand

republicans that you thought to, sincere republicans say obama never made an attempt to reach out to us. people are going to disagree on the political point. the upshot is the country became deeply polarized very quickly in his administration. >> i'm just couldn't continue on this angle a bit. i have two questions and the first one is obama had less than four years of national experience in washington when he is elected and i don't recall any major pieces of legislation under his name in those four years. whereas his predecessor, lbj and clinton, deal making and working with people that totally disagreed with them on a whole lot of things. did anybody say, any of the political soothe sayers, not you, somebody with that kind of experience base was going to run into a lot of problems in dealing with washington from the top? and the second question, about presidential complains in general. when i was in kid, '60s, the california primary in june, jfd being shot. you felt the primary complain was the last that mattered. whereas now, i feel that when the -- after new hampshire or south car
