west africa's so small that there's hardly anything left there, but now, even southern africa, that formerly had been well protected, had levels of illegal killing that were beyond the level that experts think is sustainable. the implications for security are enormous. this crime is opportunistic. in large tracks of africa, the poachers target the softest populations and they'll move from one population to another. the reason we game so worried was because it was a well protected population. and if that could happen in a well product eprotected populat feared it could happen elsewhere and we wrote a paper that would be on the record in nature. the worst case that has been recorded recently is this terrible incident that took place in cameroon where upwards of 400 elephants were killed by heavily armed militia. they traveled probably 1,000 miles on horse back to get there. they may have come from sudan or chad. and it's interesting that they're now avoiding the park of zakuma in chad because it has received good funding and has now become a slightly hard target to hit. also, in goramba, there

collections we have within the embassy, the cultural variety that is come from the richness of southern africaave brought, obviously some wonderful things with us tell me what we are sharing here. >> the icon of south africa, architect of our change, the reconciliation, the forgiveness all the really great stuff south africa offers the world is encapsulated in the person of nelson mandela here we have a picture of nelson mandela on the day he was released from prison, making his first speech. to the people of south africa, and laying the basis for that great active reconciliation, that united south africa. >> does it seem 22 years since he was released. >> i think a lifetime ago yet it was only yesterday and i think that is why people have drive south africa changes, they can't understand it was only yesterday, the world declared it a crime against humanity and here 22 years later we stand up as a model community of peace, ruler of law and human rights. >> so how does your work stand here in dc for you? >> i think south africa sees its work in washington as very important in the sense we need

and in most of east africa, central africa, with a few exceptions in southern africa, there were massive drops in numbers. the evidence now is that strong demand for ivory has researched again. i would like quickly to talk about a case study which is in northern kenya, where the save the elephants foundation conducts minute debted research by reporting the births deaths and -- to record elephants recover very well. in the last two decades, up until about 2008. we found that there was a steady increase in poaching and a tipping point was reached in 2008. where the elephants nosed over, starting with a big drought and ending with a big decline which is only going on at the present. this will cause, terrible suffering for the elephants. big bulls have been largely wiped out and now the big cows are being attacked and the females, the matriarchs are being removed, leaving great suffering amongst the family and a higher death rate amongst the offspring. the worst hit place in africa is central africa. there's a very good documentation of this by the wildlife conservation society, the paper is

east africa, central africa, and southern africa. we would get that market going. west africa will be joined fairly soon. we are thinking about a matter of two years and so for that to be in place and for a common market to be offered to the usa. >> does it help that president obama is the president of the united states right now with the relationship? >> ironically, there is a very favorable reaction, even to president bush because he had really kept the issue of pepfar, the african growth and opportunities act, on the table. but that relationship has just multiplied with the emotions that also comes from having a person who traces his roots to kenya in the white house. and so, i think that for the united states, that has been a wonderful thing because it does not have to really put in so many billions of u.s. dollars to ensure security in africa to put down -- that could emerge from africa. i think there is a nice, secure atmosphere that the u.s. can be thankful for. >> we are down to our last 30 seconds, mr. ambassador. what one thing would you like folks who are

i'd like to ask is, in developed countries, there's a big difference between countries in africa versus southern europe. you have high unemployment in africa, undeveloped countries. i understand that. but in developed countries where you have high unemployment, i'm wondering, are the social safety nets that are much more liberal in europe versus the u.s., are they in any way responsible for the higher unemployment rate? i mean, is the state safety net kind of making it easier for people not to work? thank you. >> it's not really the issue of social safety nets, per se, but more perhaps in the way they are framed in europe in some countries of continental europe where essentially both the structure of social safety nets but especially the restrictions on hiring and firing. puts the number in the labor market so that we absorb the relatively high unemployment rates that we were talking before. so the challenge is how you reform the social safety nets in a way that they actually provide a greater incentive for this unemployed workforce to be able to look and to find a job. clearly in this current o

>> meat, coffee, sugar, soy, and now oil, which is -- the world, the southern hemisphere world, brazil, africa, india, indonesia, china, we're creating 20 million jobs a year. there's a disconnect, a total disconnect. so the chinese. i don't know if you know the number, but they have a steel production record again in the last quarter in terms of steel production, for which you need the iron ore. so boom hasn't stopped. so these six commodities in the next decade, you basically double brazil's exports again at today's prices. >> so even though we've seen a slowdown in china, you say the boom is very much in place? >> maria, most people forget, in 2002, ten years ago, china's gdp was a trillion dollars. today it's $7 trillion. so 15% of a trillion dollars is 150% of gdp growth. 8% on 7 trillion is 560. people have to do the math. i don't understand. it's so brutal. even if it's 6% on 7 trillion, it's $420 billion a year. >> the numbers are mind-boggling, let's face it. how worried are you that at some point inflation becomes a problem? >> in brazil? >> yes. >> well, yes, major focus of inflatio

which is, you know, the world -- the southern hemisphere world, brazil, africa, india, indonesia, chinare creating 20 million jobs a year. there's a disconnect, a total disconnect. the chinese, i don't know fun the number, but they have a steel production record again for the last quarter. in terms of steel production. we need the iron ore. the boom hasn't stopped. in brazil, if you pick the conflict up, six commodities. in the next decade, with this commodity complex, you've doubled the export again at today's prices. >> so even though we have seen a bit of a slow-down in chain thatha china, you say in boom is very much in play? >> most people forget, in 2002, 10 years ago, china's gdp was $10 trillion. 8% on 7 central is 560. do the math. even 6%. 6% on 7 trillion is 4.2. $420 billion a year. >> how worried are you at some point inflation becomes a problem? >> in brazil? well, yes. i mean, major focus of inflation is full employment. 5.5% unemployment rate, 6% unemployment rate. so coming from the workforce, yes, we suffer inflation. but the president will address it partially by allo

while the portuguese were working their way down the southern coast towards the tip of africa there were another group of people pushing off in a different direction onto the atlantic and these were the vikings as they're sometimes called. in the common image of course the vikings are seen as ferocious warriors, conquerers, looters, there was a prayer that monks used to offer in medieval europe, dear, lord, protect us from the wrath of the north man. some of that is true certainly. for the most part the norths, scandinavians, were farmers, sea traders, fishermen and for reasons not entirely clear beginning about the year 800, these norths began to push into the atlantic. now, it could have been that there was climate change in scandinavia that was harming the harvest and could have been over population. not quite sure. for whatever reason the nors began to leave scandanavia and venture out onto the atlantic. they weren't venturing out as explorers. they weren't looking for new continents or the route to asia out of china but they were looking for other plays to settle and they began to i

southern china. many places around the world have had malaria problems-- brazil-- that they've brought under control. not so in africa. eradication efforts are erratic. yellow fever is another mosquito-transmitted virus that the french encountered when they occupied west africa. so the way the french dealt with this was to conduct an ongoing every-four-year campaign to vaccinate every person in every country they occupied. they had groups of doctors and nurses--that's all they did. they just went from village to village on this four year cycle. that way, the most that could happen is you'd have a group of susceptible children, but it would never get very big before you'd be through vaccinating the next time around. that way, they kept yellow fever under control. now, when those countries became independent, there wasn't money for those programs. and i got introduced to yellow fever in africa because, in 1965... some seven or eight years after senegal got its independence, there was a big epidemic of yellow fever, and it was all in children under 10 years of age, because they hadn't been vaccinated. when we started of
