it's also a testament that you have kept the promise you made when you accepted the atlantic council's global citizen award in 2011. i'd like to say in 2011 that we anticipated that you would become secretary of state with the great predictive capacities of the atlantic council -- [laughter] but we certainly celebrated the decision of president obama to put you in this position. as was said earlier today, you have tackled the toughest strategic challenges in this position. thank you for that. back then when we gave you that award, you pledged to put, quote, the transatlantic relationship at the forefront of u.s. foreign policy to meet today's global challenges. you did that with the understanding, and let me quote you again, that, quote: the obituary of nato has been written and rewritten for more than two decades, but our alliance remains the cornerstone of security on both sides of the atlantic. we witnessed your tireless efforts in the past months where you have taken the promiseover europe whole and free to the front lines and have been a powerful voice for sovereign and secure ukr

this is a dinghy in the middle of the atlantic. it could grip flip. the interesting thing is i was always told by all the guys that was a very unfounded concern. >> reporter: that's what the rowers thought. but the ocean never makes guarantees. >> the crew and their families were about to learn that almost nothing on this journey would go as planned. when we come back, tensions grow on board. >> i've been telling you for the past 40 days, jordan. you won't get it in your head. >> and trouble grows at sea. >> this is a lot more difficult for me than i thought it was going to be. >> we e got hit by a pretty big wave today and it snapped an oar in two. >> we are in a very serious situation. at an undisclosed mcdonald's location, there is a club. inside, the best of the best gather. and tonight, they welcome their newest member, mr. lebron james. what does one serve the best basketball player in the world? the new bacon clubhouse sandwich of course. 100% pure beef or chicken on a new artisan roll. all with our famous big mac special sauce. because everyone

this was hosted by the atlantic council. it is about one hour and 15 minutes. a chance to hear from the leaders of our military, and we want to thank saab americas for being our partner for the series for five or six years running. we really appreciate that. it is also a great honor, always, to have the chairman of the international security here for the atlantic council, lneral jim jones, james jones, former national security advisor to president obama, former supreme allied commander of europe, and combatant commander yukon, and the 32nd commandant of the marine corps. before i turned to him, i also have to salute our marine corps fellow at the atlantic council. it is because of general jones that we now have our marine corps fellow at the atlantic council, and he does great work for us everyday, though i think you would consider this not the heaviest assignment in his career. you. general jones. >> thank you, fred. i hate to stop by correcting the president of the atlantic council, but the reason we have the marine fellow is because of that man, not because o

but yes, most of the damage is still going to happen in the atlantic and caribbean parts of the u.s. when you look globally most of the impact damage is going to happen when it hits poor countries. one of the important points there oh realize if it hits rich countries who have better infrastructure, they're better able to hand it. when it hit guatemala, a lot of people die and it wipes out their gdp. being able to handle, for instance, the impacts of hurricanes, to make sure that they're no longer poor. >> peter, are politicians in a tough spot, urging the public to plan for catastrophic events. if they don't happen take them to task for spending public money to harden the target? >> i hope not. what we're experiencing is that that's part of government's job to look to the future, to understand the risks that our population and our businesses are going to be facing, and to make those tough decisions. we're not asking for billions of dollars tomorrow to go into extreme resiliency measures. we first like money to be spent to better understand these vulnerabilities in these high hazard

here with us, peter fom, director of the atlantic council's africa center. you mentioned earlier on in the program, nee that paul cocamy is feted but he has pulled the country back together. where do you draw the line between stability and safety, which rwanda has today and democracy, which you also want for countries. >> absolutely. i think that the judgment has to be made that democracy ought to come first because it is the process by which you make sure you have legitimate leaders but we also have a record, not just in africa. i mean we mentioned our friend in london mentioned yugoslavia. the way we read the history is if you sacrifice democracy for the sake of safety and stability, it clearly shows that it lasts only a little while and it blows up. so when we look at rwanda, we worry that the strong arm of paul cocagamy is causes problems in the congo. he has a spot with one of the strongest countries. he was suspected of killing disidents here that this kind of price -- unquibly he has made progress and brought stability. but history shows the price is t

the fastest cable today. >> building a new trans atlantic fiberoptic cable isn't cheap. w cable and it's five mel second advantage for the high-frequency traders, about $200 million. >> what's so fascinating about the cable is the information is traversing only through these little fibers here so of all this cable, the relevant part are these six typier pairs that you are looking at. everything else is just to protect these fiber pairs and carry power to amplify the signal. it's absolutely fascinating to think that 5,000-kilometers of this cable linking the two continue continent. >> and it doesn't end there. there is even talk of con strucking a laser network across the atlantic using air ships. >> we have loosely coined it as an air bridge. it is a succession of 30 blimps or high-altitude platforms that would be gio stationery at 70,000 feet. talking to one another over this same laser technology and that would connect new york to london. and it would do it in 30 milliseconds versus 60. >> the price tag for this trans atlantic air bridge that will save 30 milliseconds,

there that is driving all of it, and bringing the moisture, and pulling it up from the gulf, and the atlantic, and all of it is heavy, heavy rain, and waiting to be heated up today, and these are the leftover storms last night rolling through south florida and into south georgia. what we believe will happen later on today, and heavy rain here, and flood alerts for that all of the way up to the east coast as the rain is loaded, but what we believe will happen today is the same zone yesterday will refire again today, and it is not a tiny zone. if you go here and look at detroit at the top of the map, and then come all of the way down to new orleans, it is 933 miles in a stretch there, and then all of the way to the coastline. so this is today's weather thre threat. it is so slow moving because of the giant low that we showed you is blocked to the north by an area of high pressure, and blocked out of the atlantic by another high. well, slowly at the end of of the day today, that eastern high will give way a little bit to allow the front to finally move. and tomorrow, we think that this is the zo

in fact in the search for air france 447 which crashes into the south atlantic, they searched over the original area where they eventually found the aircraft during the first month of the investigation. and this is tremendously challenging. >> is there potentially a silver lining in all of this, that there will be a worldwide cause of action to clean up the oceans and for there to be less polluting, greater fines, more regulation? >> i think so. that's something all of us are hoping for. this is drawing attention to something that is largely an invisible issue for most people. the indian ocean garbage patch wasn't discovered until 2010 by groups going across the ocean to see if there was a garbage patch there. similar to a fairly well known garbage patch called the great pacific garbage patch. >> the cargo containers? >> i came up from philly on a train, and you see them along i-95 stacked. i'm reading a tremendous number of them fall overboard? they're a part of the garbage picture you're describing? >> right, exactly. cargo ships, cruise liners and again, just about every river in th

so they moved into the north atlantic and the south atlantic and the central pacific and the indian oceanrome. dr. jackson: their baseline was 1950. and you can imagine how many big fish disappeared before 1950. so, another way we know about the magnitude of the fish we've lost -- there's this global fisheries data that were essential commercial fisheries' data, and they made maps of how much fish was taken out of the northern atlantic in 1900 and today. and the red color meant that there was lots of fish, and white color meant there were no fish. and in 1900, all along the east coast of the united states and western europe is red. and in 2000, it's white. it's just virtually the richest fishing grounds in the world are gone. narrator: besides the obvious concern of extinction to many of these large fish species, jackson asks what effect their absence has on the health of the ocean as an ecosystem. of chief concern are coral reefs. dr. jackson: the important question is how is the functional diversity of reefs changed, whether the species have gone extinct or not? is it a complex system t

one aviation expert today told us that the search for the air france jet that crashed over the atlantic ocean in 2009 cost 50 u.s. million dollars. he estimates this could be 10 times more expensive. the australian prime minister tony abbott has been meeting with his malaysian counterpart in perth. he called it the most difficult search operation in history. and he said while there was no guarantee of success, he said no effort would be spared. so for the moment no talk of giving up despite the massive cost. but it has now been almost one month since the malaysian airliner disappeared and still no prospect of finding it. >>> stay with us here on "bbc world news". still to come, high alert off the australian coast a woman is killed by a shark on her daily swim at a beach in new south wales.

when that air france jet fell into the atlantic, the debris spanned only a few miles, and on the ocean, the bulk of the plane covered just a few football fields. and, of course, a soft landing remains a distant, but real, possibility. if the malaysia air flight landed like that u.s. airways plane on the hudson river, it would have slipped under by now, and unless people were alive to scramble out with life rafts, there might be few clues it was ever there. and only a small target far beneath the surface. >> so as tragic as it may seem, the more cataclysmic the event above the water or at the surface of the water, the more debris to look for in that area, although to all of this you must add the factor of time. even if they find it now after all this time for drifting and changes, you have to wonder if they can even establish a contact, a connection between what's on the surface and what's beneath. >> and there were some horrible weather, including a cyclone in that area, that could really disperse any debris that might have been on the surface. >> yes, makes the challenge all the worse
