state department list of sponsors of state terrorism? is. >> currently on the list, iran, syria, cuba and sudan. >> so four countries. and with respect to cuba, why is cuba on that list? >> cuba was put on the list, i believe, in 1982 because of its support, principally, for its support of various terrorist and revolutionary movements within the hemisphere, and i think it's important to underscore that cuba has not met the standard for rescission which is to say that we need to be able to either certify that there's been a fundamental change in leadership and the country has ceased to support international terrorism, or that the administration can certify that cuba has gone six months without support to foreign terrorist organizations and has given assure,s that it will not -- assurances that it will not support any international terrorism in the future. because of its continued relationship with the farc and the eln, cuba has failed to meet that standard. >> so cuba has a relationship with the farc, the eln, both terrorist organizations

not terry the head of the united states state department and so getting. our ways but you'll see the consequences i don't know i never heard of using the army is a poverty reduction tool or the state department was conned lisa writes know about the poverty reduction poverty creation made but i don't see a lot of them what they did and how a seven able to get their support in order to you know lots this program that you say has no no going well about it you know how it is sad ron we all know this power i hear in their. cash it's cash under a lot condo resources paid a fortune by chevron as a board member and it's very interesting that she goes from secretary of state from sharon's board to secretary of state and then back into chevrons payroll the question is did she ever leave sharon's payroll in effect because george bush put the heat and her state department with tremendous heat on ecuador tremendous you know there were over these over these cases and tremendous heat on ecuador for trying to put the. put the would get some justice from the oil companies

some states are doing state- backed venture capital funds as well. on the second leg of this, there are several states doing these economic programs which are targeted companies in their states that have great growth potential. they focus on those. we've also seen on the experts i've, programs to help companies expand their global markets, using very customized plans for the specific companies to actually to exporting propose a been really successful programs throughout the country. to assess the vastly expand exporting. in number of these not only in terms of delivering economic development services but also a number of different social services and other programs that the states do. and then we also see some investment opportunities on the private side to invest and government-owned facilities, that focus on research. and finally on the work force, training, and development fine, more successful programs directly involved business and their design and implementation. they're working very well associated with what is happening at the local level wit

the united states pays something like two thirds of its budget u.s. forces are in combat u.s. forces are undertaking military missions that's the language of the war the law u.s. forces in combat it's absolutely not a dive to see that there's a u.n. security council resolution or to see that nato approved this you know david i know about you in denver ok leslie jump in that's what the point of this program is going yeah i mean i think i think we have to be a little bit careful here to differentiate different types of different ways of using military force and this particular intervention we're talking about intelligence surveillance unmanned. unmanned sorties we're not talking about sending military troops in on the ground to fight a ground war so which is not to say that there isn't this question the war powers act but in terms of the use of the military there are degrees and this is very much and it's not just nato which the british the french have been out in front of this intervention taking the lead and the u.s. is absolutely playing a crucial ro

state and the citizens. this does not mean the abandonment of toughness when it comes to harming the public interest. there are those who said that some demonstrators continued to demonstrate because they demonstrated in the past, and believe they will be prosecuted by the state picks we have now some amnesty for those who turn themselves in during the month of april and may. they must turn themselves in with their weapons, and they were pardoned immediately. as i say to all those people, who try to contact the state and you will find a positive response and tolerance on part of state institutions, even regarding those who have carried weapons, but did not use them against anyone. however, as for terrorizing citizens and committing acts of killing in terrorism, this is another issue. i call on all those who have left the city or villages to return. it is a very important issue because the city dies without its people. but cannot talk about normal economic life of their people who left their towns and village

how big a concern should it be for the united states? states?>> guest: what i say in the book is this, we are the two most powerful countries in the world today. there's a whole series of issues that are new, environment, proliferation, energy. these are unique problems. it can only be solved on the global places. secondly, we got to learn from the europeans, and established britain had to do with each other and didn't manage to do it. and the result was world war i. and i've often asked myself, if the leaders that went to war in 1914 had known what the world would look like four years later when the war ended, would they ever have done it? with one or the other have made an accommodation? so what i say in the book is, we out to approach foreign policy, vis-À-vis china with that in mind. we ought to look for opportunities of a cooperative relationship. at the same time, we will strenuously defend our interests. and if the chinese approach the problem in the same way, then i'm hopeful that the ingenuity on both sides will find a way through. but

>> only for state convictions.or sufficient serious violations, a state is required to disqualify that a driver from holding their cdl. and out of service order is not necessarily in that list. >> i would appreciate seeing someanguage on bad. >> if i could just clarified the drug and alcohol peace. there is no link to the individual cdl. that randomized process for testing, should a driver test positive,

give it to state. at the point that that decision was taken, did state agree with that decision and embrace it and say, give it to us? we can do it. it's not inherently governmental? >> i was not -- i was not in a position that was involved in that. i'll be glad to check for the record. however, it is the consistent opinion of the department of defense that they will provide, and we are deeply appreciated of it, emergency assistance, for example, our -- in yemen with all the turmoil there, they have augmented our existing staff but i'll get something for the record. >> get details for the record on that? >> yes >> thank you, katherine schinasi, no one is going to interrupt you in your four minutes. >> thank you, mr. chairman. have a couple quick yes or no's. in the request i made earlier about the contracting officer representatives i know in your response to our recommendations, you make reference to waivers for corps certifications which are available. that tells me maybe you've made use of waivers.

with the united states. 90% of our experts go to the united states. 90% of our oil goes to the u.s. 90% of the tourist that visit mexico come from the u.s. and so on and so forth. obviously, all of our immigrants are in the united states by definition. there's a very open economy. so mexico can't be an interspective closed off character. we don't have the traditional mexico way of being in our mind when in our everyday life we're an open economy. >> i want to return senior castaneda to mexican phobia and the fear of the foreigner. with the growing middle class in mexico, as that changed? >> it hasn't changed yet. it's beginning to change, but we are still very much immersed in the fear of the foreign and in the notion that we've always been victims of the past or in the past that we were conquered by the spanish in 1519, 1521, and humiliated and exploited by the spaniards for the following three centuries. then during the 19th serge -- 19th century with texas taken away, then the united states invaded us, then the french invaded us in 1963, then the americans invaded us again in 1914. a

religious schools can receive state funding.most national holidays come from the catholic church calendar, and once a year catholics from all over flood the streets of paris as they leave on a three-day, 75-mile pilgrimage to the cathedral of chartres. >> but people don't like it. they don't like it, even catholics. the pilgrimage to chartres? those are fundamentalists, traditionalists. our culture erases religion. we're here but we don't show ourselves. >> olivier bobineau teaches the sociology of religion and lives himself. he's a catholic who wears a small cross on a chain that he keeps hidden most of the time. but one night, at a meeting with high government officials so you leaned forward, you could see it, and somebody said -- >> careful. >> put that away. >> yeah. today it's unimaginable to go against the state, against the public space, and to show a cross, a skullcap, a veil. it's impossible. it's wanting to destroy the state. that's what the french feel. the majority of french people do not think it's possible to be fr

for the people of that state. in terms of energy, maybe they want to buy power from canada, hydroelectric power. maybe they want to go sustainable energy. maybe they want to invest in energy efficiency. from an economic point of view, the supreme court said of course they have that right. you cannot push a nuclear power plant on people. not a safety issue. let me go briefly and ask members of the commission if they would give us their view on that supreme court decision. mr. chairman. >> well, as i said, i think it should be very rare that the commission is involved in preemption cases. and there are clearly areas that where the states have authority. and we should respect those authorities as we expect them to respect our authorities. >> thank you. >> senator sanders, although i have not read the decision you are quoting from. i would agree with chairman jaczko of the states role. >> out of curiosity. madam commissioner, you are familiar with this supreme court decision? >> i have not read that decision, i believ

effort in the state of california? >> this is a great time to work on the issue of the death penalty. every day we get closer and closer to ending the death penalty in california and across the country and indeed, across the world. several states have into the death penalty in the last four years. most recently, the state of illinois into the death penalty in march of this year. [applause] we are now at the time when 16 states, puerto rico and the district of columbia do not have the death penalty. many more states are addressing this issue, connecticut and montana, colorado, kansas, these are all states that have had bills in their legislature to into the death penalty that have moved through least one house in some cases, both houses. connecticut passed a bill a couple of years ago to end the death penalty that was vetoed by the then republican governor who is no longer in office. this is for states in four years and we expect more on the way. >> this deserves applause. >> we're making progress in california. the sta

time in the court's nine year history that such a warrant has been issued for an incumbent head of state the first such occurrence happened in. in two thousand and nine and the man that they wanted or were after was the sudanese president over that decision has yet to be implemented in reality and the libyan authorities have already said that they will not comply with the decision in this case they actually questioned its legitimacy and have reminded that libya is not a signatory to the rome treaty which has actually set up the international criminal court we have yet to find out how exactly they will go about arresting more market the the i.c.c. did say that the libyan people themselves will arrest gadhafi but of course gadhafi and he is called words remain defiant and say they will continue to fight to the very end and they basically said they don't particularly care for this particular decision as a matter of fact there were reports of intensified bombing off tripoli just this morning there were reports that blast have been heard very close to gadhafi compound this was supposed to be

let me state the background. they are been conducting police training on a state department contracting in iraq from the years 2004, figure went back and conducted last year this audit showing the lack of proper support documentation. the sum i have heard that for which repayment is being demanded is $518 million, but i would defer and say it has been many years we have been waiting. has state finally demanded repayment of the sums certain from dyne corp. for iraq police training? >> i mean, i have a two-part answer to that mr. tiefer. we also picked up from bloomberg news service this $518 million figure supposedly cited to the state department. we queried every senior official we can find. we have no idea where that figure has come from, none whatsoever. we are continuing to pursue that. that's the first point. i have no idea what that figure means. >> all right. >> the second thing is that inl has been conducting 100% reconciliation of all iraq related up -- invoices going back prior to 2006. they collected ov

finally, ours was a state plan, a state solution, and if people don't like it our state, they can change it it. that's why states are the right place for this type of responsibility. that's why i introduced a plan to repeal obamacare and replace it with a state centric plan. >> sylvia has put her finger on one of the most important issues facing the country. president obama stood before the nation in 2008 sxsd he promised to do health care reform, focused on cost containment along with republicans. he'd do it on a bipartisan basis. >> the question was why obomnicare. >> this is another example of breaking his promise, and he has to be held accountable. in order to prosecute the case against president obama, you have to show you have a better plan and different plan. we took a different approach in minnesota. we didn't use top-down government mandates and individual requirements from government. we created market alternatives and powered consumers. >> you don't want to address why you called governor romney obomnicare. >> what was the similarities between the two. president obama looked t

states. the obama's administration national security strategy states we'll deny safe haven and strengthen at-risk states. this nss report points out a government approach that is needed to include information sharing, law enforcement cooperation, and establishing new practices to counter terrorists. the document requires the united states to help countries build capacities for responsible governments and security. existing u.s. law, the intelligence reform and terrorism prevention act of 2004 and the national defense authorization agent for fiscal year 2010 requires the administration to produce a list of what each agency is doing to deny terrorists safe havens. the government accountability office, or gao, examined the u.s. government approach and concluded that number one, safe havens are a threat to the united states, and number two, a more comprehensive list of agency efforts is needed so congress can adequately oversee and assess how the united states is denying safe havens to terrorists

out people of the state take a crack at it and then the favorite a nazi so. that's why it's not the mike. you can see right there the police leave it close enough to be another round of take up stuff that you can see that happened there. was because you think i'm going to feel nothing that. is something that you still standing right in the. river you stupid ok ok. girl who they see right now it's very hard to tell because the protests that want to see this show you just love how pretty your defeats right we've got to find it but. you've got to take us ok you got to take us up. all right got the phrase cut. now that's a get the last number these people are actually. the police you can see the good the fight here to focus on the other ones he tried to stop a scumbag. six yes. i did i guess lately guy got right as we say you could see the road. ok got out we see the prices i don't really feel crashing i have the good very hard to really love these people who are provoking did you want to see so because we come to you because right in the middle of it all in the

give it to state. at the point that decision was made, did the state embrace the decision and say give it to us, we can do it. it's not inherently governmental? >> i was not in a position that was involved in that. i'll be glad to check. however, it is the consistent opinion of the department of defense, that they will provide, and we are deeply appreciative of it, emergency assistance. for example, in sanaa, yemen, i'll get the decision on the record for that. >> thank you. >> and no one is going to interrupt you in your four minutes. >> thank you, mr. chairman. i have a couple of quick yes or noes. >> in the comment i made earlier. i know in your response to our recommend datheses, you make reference to waivers for core certifications. that tells me maybe you've made use of waivers. so for that list of the contracts you have put out, would you include waivers in that listing as well. second thing is as you know o.m.b. circular requires each chief acquisition officer to review a its acquisition functi

state has openly recruiting activists in cuba where the all the likely targets that . well syria right now is on the hot burner and you know there's a russian naval base there and that makes that a real interesting situation for the entire planet because here we have a direct conflict between the two superpowers obviously iran is through is the key they try to do what they called a color revolution couple years back in iran during the election process there and failed to do so it was called the green revolution and my gosh you know i think that if they can take over iran i think the whole ball game is going to change and so i mean if if you have syria and iran both shiite. as a bloc and they're looking to break that apart and create a new middle east or israel likes to say you know a greater middle east but the greater threat but just looking from an historic perspective don't post attempts to spread the book same parts of the world suggest future success is very likely with this initiative. i have to agree with you i think the go ability of the population is extreme t

state department list of sponsors of state terrorism?is. >> currently on the list, iran, syria, cuba and sudan. >> so four countries. and with respect to cuba, why is cuba on that list? >> cuba was put on the list, i believe, in 1982 because of its support, principally, for its support of various terrorist and revolutionary movements within the hemisphere, and i think it's important to underscore that cuba has not met the standard for rescission which is to say that we need to be able to either certify that there's been a fundamental change in leadership and the country has ceased to support international terrorism, or that the administration can certify that cuba has gone six months without support to foreign terrorist organizations and has given assure,s that it will not -- assurances that it will not support any international terrorism in the future. because of its continued relationship with the farc and the eln, cuba has failed to meet that standard. >> so cuba has a relationship with the farc, the eln, both terrorist organizations.

constitution of the united states? >> in the committed islamic jihadist, absolutely. there's only one document. >> i agree. the reality is that for a committed jihadist, shari'a law is god's law and that's the only law that they have to follow. everything else is manmade law and that's not something that they feel has any authority over them and their actions. >> i would agree. however i would just offer this, that in our outreach and engagement with muslim communities, with he recognize and the muslim communities recognize that the law of the land is the constitution. and that there may be shari'a principles in their community that they look at similar to jewish laws, but the law of the land, the rule of law is the constitution of the united states. >> that's correct. i would sa add that the muslim community in the united states is relatively prosperous, middle class and well educated but they do -- and do accept the constitution as the law of the land. >> so specifically radical islam would -- you would agree then wo

department states and secretary of state hillary clinton to be clear of an israel and a terrorist state on the other hand the foreign relations committee for the western hemisphere led by one republican republican representative called karni mack is also asking for venezuela to be the clear a terrorist back what does that mean though declaring a terrorist state in what way then what we see the u.s. taking action on this where it tried to manipulate a great change there in venezuela. well i believe from latin america from argentina to be exact that what we are seeing the generalized rejean change promoted by the united states britain france and even israel behind the scenes in north africa and the middle east as a whole will now be coming very likely to latin america so i would not be surprised to see a wave of u.s. promoted regime change in various countries in latin america from their point of view a logical country to start would be going as well or further afield ecuador. and even argentina might be also be mark earmarked for this because apparently the global power elite operating f

we prefer in the united states. it's impossible to apply that level of analysis now with the right kind of homework looking at what's actually happening in terms of chinese investment trends. second point i'm going to make is that based on that better information about what's actually happening rather than what we fear or are concerned about, we can start to see patterns in china's outbound direct investment which are diverse, largely non-strategic and commercial in their nature, and can be understood in terms of what american interests are, so we can match-up the pattern of what's happening with what we think our interests are in this area. and thirdly, to the third point i want to make, and i'll finish with, is that we can maintain america's traditional role as a beacon for international economic openness and competition rather than revert to a kind of isolationist attitude. we don't need to believe that the chinese government is going to put american interests over their own in order to reach that conclusion and

for heads of state.is a senior fellow at the council on foreign relations. we will take your phone calls as well. -- why the wide this state dinner? >> they wanted to send a signal to germany and to europe that it considers the transatlantic partnership the link between the united states and europe to be the centerpiece of global security. i think there were some who wear rate -- who were worried and more more interested in asia and other parts of the world. he wanted to abuse people. t spend a week in europe mainly to deliver a message that the elected partnership was alive and well. now angela merkel is here for it today visit. a lot of bells and whistles. i think it is to say this is still the core relationship. she is in a tough package. she needs a shot in the arm. obama is trying to give it to her. >> it is based on what the bill? economic security? what is the situation? >> economic agenda is front and center right now. the united states is trying to dig itself out. europe is struggling for stabil

we can start by helping companies make in the united states what they sell in the united states, but unfortunately recent actions by the administration are making that hard to accomplish. last month the national labor relations board moved to stop america's largest exporter, the boeing company, from building airplanes at a non-union plant in south carolina, suggesting that a unionized american company can't expand its operations into one of the 22 states with right-to-work laws, which protect a worker's right to join or not to join a union. but instead of making a speech, let me tell you a story. the story is about a white house state dinner in february 1979, when i was governor of tennessee. president carter said to us, "governors, go to japan. persuade them to make here what they sell here." so, off

i think it is unconstitutional, whether it's put into place at the state level by a state legislature or whether it's put into place at the federal level. i think it's unconstitutional. i also think that to deliver the highest quality health care to the greatest number of people at the most reasonable possible cost, you don't give it to government to do the job. whether it's the state government or whether it's the federal government. i believe in the free market. i want to bring free-market policies back to health care. that will give our people.... >> schieffer: when you get on the stage with mitt romney, are you going to say anything about his health care plan? >> i suppose it depends on who is asking the questions. usually we aren't able to just go on our own. i'm sure undoubtedly we'll be bringing up this issue of health care because it's been the signature issue for president obama. people are not happy with it. the president needed to focus on the economy and what this will be as one of the largest spending projects that the federal government has ever taken on. we simply can't

it place them within the state legislature and the state itself. because of that, the court no longer receives any dollars from the city for a court-fund operations. the basics of the court are not funded by the city, but there are two functions the court has historically managed for the city which are still funded by you. that is why we are here today. that is staffing the civil grand jury and managing the indigent defense budget. the indigent defense budget is the majority of these funds that surround my $0.3 million. indigent -- $9.3 million. indigent defense fund is outlined in the united states constitution and is the legal obligation which is why it has not transfer to state funding and it's under a legal obligation for the city to provide under the california penal code. it is a fundamental principle of our justice system where all the queues are innocent until proven guilty and are afforded the right to legal representation. the court's role in all this at the initial branch of government is to ensure this right is upheld. the public defend

when it is veept to their agenda, they are for states' rights, my state voted the legislature, just last year for 10-year moratorium on their lands as an expression of interest not only to ban the leasing of the lands within the coastal waters, but beyond that. we are serious about protecting our fisheries. we are serious about our profitable tourism industry and yes, we are serious about wind and wave development. and the gentleman made no sense. he said somehow this would preclude wind and wave development. not at all. you don't need a clean air permit for something that doesn't potentially pollute the air. i don't have enough time. i only have one minute. so at this point, i would just suggest that let's be consistent. state of alaska wishes to push ahead. the gentleman from alaska has the bill before us. the republican party controls the house, great. he has always had a rule that people from local districts and local states, the gentleman from alaska, get to have their prerogative. this is our prerogative representing the state of oregon. the chair: the gentleman's time has expired.

, and it doesn't usurp the state's authority.here this came into play was in our plan to defend the state's shoreline against oil. we developed a layered defense plan beginning outside the barrier islands, using the barrier islands to protect us, protecting the gaps between the barrier islands. the oil that got through to the sound, that would be our principle place to try to pick it up, steer it toward beaches, keep it out of marshlands. as it turned out, the coast guard approved that plan, never understood how to execute it. and after the second time that oil got to our barrier islands completely undetected, much less contested. undetected. we demanded that we be put in charge of this. and the coast guard agreed, and we worked out a system that worked. i will just tell you, before that there was no command and control. in fact, unified command could not even speak to the hundreds of vessels of opportunity that we had gotten bp to hire to form picket lines to spot the oil as far out where we could try to steer it and collect it.

use of the united states i'm now looking at the state department website that promotes grants for those willing to bring about change in communist cuba and here's one of the requirements i'm going to read this it is preferable for these personnel to speak spanish fluently possess solid understanding of the cultural context and have prior experience on the island in order to maximize their effectiveness in this unique operating environment and of quote sounds very much like recruiting agents but instead of doing it the traditional secretive way the us does they're right out in the open on their website help most often comes with strings attached many say opposition leaders in libya who now get financial and political support from washington are sure to get instructions on how to return the favor essentially their eight years in the system with. the u.s. government even if they don't necessarily think it's going to check on r.t.e. washington d.c. . an opinion researcher and historian jeffries and thinks claims of democratic motivation is simply a cover for the u.s. to spread influence. it

states. that is one of the costs of federalism. that's more of a problem than it was in the 18th century, and i think this is just a trend that one has to recognize. now, having said that, in many parts of the world country are sort of actually coming apart. people don't like it when they're regulated by a distant government which seems unaccountable, and that leads to a resurgence of federalism. my view, though, is that in this country this type of feeling is probably pretty limited. there have been eruptions of this. there was one at the beginning of the reagan administration as well. but the fact is that most of the problems, the things that we're really worried about, health care, the financial systems, security, the environment are things that have to be regulated at the federal level because they are nation, they're national problems, they're not problems. >> host: are you a member of the federalist society? is. >> guest: no. >> host: was that founded at the university of chicago? >> gu

and finally, ours was a state plan, a state solution. if people don't like it in our state they can change it. that's why states are the right place for this type of responsibility. that's why i introduced the plan to repeal obama care and replace it with the state-center program. >> governor, you heard the governor rebutt your characterization, obamany care, why? >> let me say to sylvia, she has put her finger on one of the most 30r7b9 issues facing the country. president obama stood before the nation and said he promised to do health care reform focused on cost containment along with republicans and he'd do it on a bipartisan -- >> the question was why, obamany care. >> i'll get to that. >> you have 30 seconds. >> this is another example of him breaking his promise and he has to be accountable. in order to prosecute the case you have to show you have a better plan and a different plan. we took a different approach in minnesota. we didn't use top-down government mandates and individual requirements from government. we created market alt

now most of it's at the state and local level but when you aggregate all those state local cuts they've been tremendous we've been laying off government employees by the hundreds of thousands for the past couple of years since the start of the recession in two thousand and seven government employment at all levels in the united states is down by a quarter million so the idea that it's too much spending on public sector hiring is just a myth it's exactly the direction we need to go ok one thing i want to ask you just a little bigger picture because the euro zone has been a hotbed for debt crisis we've seen this in greece also portugal of course and spain it had problems as well you know the e.u. is not the united states but this is a global economy we saw u.s. stocks tumble today on the news out of greece and it does according to analysts give a lot of concern about u.s. thinkers so how does what we're seeing in the euro zone affect the united states economy. but the two thousand and financial crisis should really teaches a lesson that these financial markets are interconnected and it fe

if you're at the state position you'd like to get credit for a state position. at the city level, i can tell you, those cdbg dollars have gone directly to job creation and economic development in oklahoma city and i can give you handful of examples of how impactful they've been and how $1 can turn into $2 and $3 and $4 and $5. >> but i think it's also indicative of the fact that in many cases members of congress are so disconnectedrom what really goes on the ground. you know, this is apparently a bit of a bubble here. they all talk to each other and there are things going on back home that decisions that mick and i have to make are day to day. they really affect people on a regular basis. we have this conversation going on which is theoretical in washington. we deal with reality back home. so, you know, it's kind of interesting that sometimes members of congress actually go to groundbreakin and ribbon cuttings for program that were funded by the same programs that they'rnow talking about cutting. i mean, it really doesn't make any sense and it is a disinvestment

it is not the role of a president to go into states and interfere with their state law. [applause] >> this is an important issue. let's try to go through it. a constitutional amendment like george bush or dick cheney? >> it is the state's decision. >> the federal government should be involved. when we saw this ongoing debate about marriage, we know what it is all about, what does it go to the church and the individual? they should get a license to get married in the church. >> i helped author the defense of marriage act. if it fails, then you have no choice but to go to a constitutional amendment. >> the states will be involved in the process. there needs to be consistency on something that is foundational about marriage. >> i support a constitutional amendment on marriage between a man and a bomb, but i would not go into states to overturn their state law. >> the obama administration wants to repeal the don't ask don't tell, so gays will be able to serve openly in the military. if that happens, would you leave that policy in place, or would you try to change it? >> and

and he left for the united states just a little over a year ago and according to information voiced in the court room that was a complete surprise to everybody including his wife she found out that her husband had deserted her her family and her country from a text message which he sent to her saying mary i'm sorry i hope you find a way to forgive me this isn't for a while this is for effort expended by the state has been working with us intelligence officers for at least a decade out of those people whose cover he blew and of chapman perhaps one of the most famous and a media well liked characters she picked him out of a photo lineup saying that this is in fact the man that she met with in the united states according to her statement she felt somewhat uncomfortable after her meeting with him and contacted her superiors in moscow which then confirmed her suspicions but of course by then it was too late and ten people were sent out of the united states being found guilty of being unregistered agents of a foreign government. it is coming out of our reporting right there now the japane

united states is not going to recall what they said is the united states has there on considerations of the we should not act as if the victoria is the mole pocket i think we should not trust the united states to report but we should trust ourselves if obama was not to veto the declaration of a palestinian state would he not face political pressure at home i mean after all there is an election that he wants to win you know every politician is interest in continuing is there a way but i i think obama really wants. peace in the world and especially in this region which affects in a way is the middle east and the wall of the world in a way so i believe that obama's first before concern with the wind being and we're doing of his own people but he's also or interest in continuing their missions in the visual the you took upon him so when he is. would you say that the relationship between the united states and israel is colder than it's ever been before i think so without the united states we would be in a much more difficult position not only because of the veto but because of the support

member but the united states is not. even if the european union were to disappear tomorrow, reconciliation between the natis of the balkans would have stayed the priority of the government of serbia. >> rose: the relationship o those countries of the former yugoslavia remains, was, is, and will be the highest priority of the serbian government? >> well, ithink that relations with neighbors is something that is the highest priority of everyone in the world. you need to have good relations with your neighbors in order to have, like, a prosperous... >> rose: economic future. what's the economic future of serbia? >> well, that i believe the future, including the economic future, of the entire region of the balkans is in the european union. i think it makes geographical sense, it makes historical sense it makes cultura sense. it makes good political sense. and this is why the european future is a central strategic... building a european socie and achieving a european future is a priority for the government of serbia. despite

their job is not to tell the state of vermont or the state of california or the state of pennsylvania what future they might want to pursue in terms of energy. they are not supposed to be a proponent of the nuclear industry. that's not their job. their job is to make sure that our nuclear plants are being run safely. so in terms of economics, the people of the state of vermont and any other state in this country have the right to determine whether or not what the future of nuclear power plants is in their states. and what our state is saying is after 40 years, we want to shut vermont yankee down. we want to move in a new direction that we think benefits our state. and we do not want the department of justice to intervene in this case, where entergy is suing vermont. let me just conclude while we're on the issue of nuclear power in pointing out that the associated press recently revealed that 48 out of 65 nuclear power sites in this country have leaked radioactive tritium, and vermont yankee is one of those sites. 37 facilities had leaks at levels that violated federal drinking water s

we know that we are better equipped in states and localities around the united states. and we know that we are beginning to hear some of the things i have been saying that goes back to us. that is always a sign that the message is being received. let me, if i might, talk about shared responsibility from an individual standpoint. we have continually recognize the role of the public. according to one recent outside analysis, from 1999-2010, there were a total of 74 lots properly characterized as terrorist. and there are definitional issues there, but in this study, properly characterized as terrorist. a total of 74 lots will. there were motivated by a more variety -- by a variety of ideologies. al qaeda and its affiliates accounted for about half. but most important, the public, individuals of the members of the public stop 33% of those plots. that kind of vigilance that we encourage with something like the "see something, say something" campaign has already helped to protect lives and property and for lots since 1999. when you add to state and local law enforcement, in t
