with all the talk about kicking our addiction to foreign oil, the kingdom of saudi arabia is doing everything it can to keep the oil age going. let me be blunt: is it your hope to prevent a switch away from oil? somebody said the country is the oil business. i mean, you absolutely need to do this for your own survival. >> and what's wrong with that? [ticking] >> when the u.s. oil companies came here in the '40s and '50s, the americans moved into the area with their families and developed it to suit their tastes and their way of life. they created a replica of american suburbia. today you could be in the outskirts of houston or los angeles. it's almost like it's an enclave within saudi arabia. it's--different from the rest of the country. >> yes, that's true, because-- >> very different. it kept a lot of the american ways. >> yes, of course. >> but blocked off from the rest. >> they are good ways. there's nothing wrong with it. these were their excellent ways. >> welcome to 60 minutes on cnbc. i'm morley safer. in this edition, we follow the flow of big oil from massive, mega billion dollar oi

keach: in a.d. 760, two of the conquered kingdoms stage a revolt. they capture the king of dos pilas, drag him from city to city, and then sacrifice him in the usual fashion. the killing sends the entire region into a scale of warfare seldom seen among the maya. every city goes to war against its neighbors. in the end, all the cities in the region are destroyed and abandoned. at the once thriving city of dos pilas, surviving inhabitants tear apart the buildings and reuse the stones to construct defensive walls. but these efforts are in vain. the city would be destroyed and disappear into the jungle. in some ways, the expansion of the dos pilas kingdom through warfare was a great experiment on the part of the dos pilas kings. they attempted to move beyond the normal territory of conquest. but they did so without really changing anything fundamental in maya political or economic systems. and as a consequence, they failed. the bubble burst very dramatically, and then the fall of the dos pilas kingdom was even more rapid than its rise. keach: even if the

the biggest internal issue in the kingdom i think is the aged and confirmed leadership. this latest saudi state was declared in 1932 by abdullah al saud. and when he died in 1953, the crown has passed from one of his, first to his eldest son and then from brother to half-brother to half-brother. so king abdullah is the fifth of those boys, and the old man had 44 sons by 22 wives, and 36 of them lived to adulthood, but they are all now rather elderly. the king is 90, and he has already outlived, and only seven years, two of his brothers as crown prince. he is on his third crown prince. so it's very reminiscent of the old soviet union in the '80s, when brezhnev, have to brezhnev died and was replaced by elderly and drop off who died quickly and was replaced quickly by -- who died quickly and was finally replaced by gorbachev, but by then it was too late to save the system. so as ronald reagan said at that time when they were basically three soviet leaders in a little over three years time, they keep dying on me. [laughter] and that's what i think president obama and future

so it's like moving from creation to the universal redemption or the messianic age or the kingdom of god, and the liturgy is structured that way - the world of peace, inequity, and so forth, which is the deliverance, the redemption from pharaoh - symbolically; that could be inner pharaohs, idolatry, bondage, servitude to the service of the highest god, which is the kingdom of god. and that can only happen through the covenant making at sinai - that's our story. but i believe all the other bible stories are the kind of subplots or subechoes of those three major stories. like the book of ruth , the story of ruth, is a sinai story, because she enters into covenant. the book of esther is an exodus story. the story of the destructions are the negative valence of the creation stories - like sodom and gomorrah, tower of babel, the destruction of the temple - those are the minus or negative valences of the creation story. the golden calf is the downstairs of what's happening upstairs - the giving of torah, the giving of the ten commandments and so forth. so those are the three major stories,

there is the kingdom of satan and there is the kingdom of god. that's why jesus said the greatest sin you can commit is not to believe in him. because if you believe in him, you'll be saved. you'll be forgivenand the results of being saved is good works. he said for by grace are you saved through faith and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of god, not of works that no man [inaudible]. >> thank you very much. next speaker. >>> thank you. my name is [speaker not understood] and i lead the national security on civil rights program [speaker not understood]. i'm here today to speak with you about the muni ads. i wanted to thank the supervisors, all of you guys here today, who are supporting this resolution. in particular, supervisor chiu's office for their work in leading this work, but also supervisor kim who has been just so wonderful to the [speaker not understood] community and has always supported our work. i also want to applaud the district attorney for the distance that he's come and what he did yesterday in organizing a press conference a

so there are 19 roughly million saudis and 8-9 million foreigners in the kingdom. because energy is subsidized and cheap, people waste it. and it has now become, again, a subject in the saudi press and discussed among saudis that what's going to happen if we continue to use more, and we have less to export, and it's exports of oil that fund our lifestyle. now, it is possible that the government will find a way to tell people we're going to cut the subsidies, but in this arab, post-arab spring environment they're not inclined to take this things from people. and the country has $500 billion in foreign reserves, so it's hardly broke. but there are saudi financial institutions who estimate that the government spending will exceed government revenues by 2014 because after the arab spring when king abdullah came home from back surgery, he passed out $130 billion to the society on top of $180 billion annual budget. so more money for student stipends, more money to the religious establishment, more money to everyone and created a minimum wage for the first time for saudis.

several new world states were larger than the kingdoms of the maya. but the most populous ancient states evolved in the old world. the ancient city of rome -- capital of an empire controlling 50 million people on three continents. the entire population of the copan kingdom would have fit within the colosseum. once, rome was smaller. but its political evolution continued where copan's ended. in the sixth century b.c., the monarch of rome was overthrown by the families of aristocrats who lived here in what later became the roman forum. they shared power for five hundred years. but unlike copan, there was plenty of good farm land here. draft animals and the plow transformed the italian countryside. roman society prospered. wealthy families gradually bought land from neighbors who had fallen into debt. the sellers then labored for the new owners as tenant farmers. during the republican period in the first centuries before christ, the wealthiest families formed their own armies. their troops owed loyalty only to their individual general, and not to the sta

a clear development begins in the old kingdom in the third millennium before christ. there, at the time of the pyramids, the beyond was located in the sky-- the celestial beyond was always the royal beyond whe kin wanted to rise. (narrator) e vision of a cestiaheaven continueinto the new ngdoera and was depicted in the tomb of ramses the sixth, who died in 1136 bc. but the concept of an afterlife in the netherworld had begun to replace it by the beginning of the new kingdom, around 1550 bc. in the second millennium a change took place. the main focus shifted from the sky to the netherworld because egyptians believed that there, the actual regeneration, the coming back to life took place in the world of osiris. (narrator) osiris, ruler and judge of the dead in the underworld... a powerful figure in ancient egyptian cosmology... his origins rooted in an ancient legend. through some horrible machinations he was killed and torn asunder and brought back to life as the world's first mummy, and magically brought back through the help of his sister and wife, isis. osiris, bec

there's no need for negotiation because the people wish to remain part of the united kingdom and president could perhaps do a better service to her people by focusing on the failing economy the ridiculously high inflation rate and concentrate on domestic economic policy rather than this. silly and childish saber rattling which does nothing to persuade the people of the falklands that they want to change where they are i mean their party united kingdom they always have been and they always will be ok mr clegg we will have to leave it there thank you very much for your thoughts that is a conservative page john glenn live from london now on r.t. dot com we're asking you what you think argentina's next step will be if with the falkland islanders do decide to stay british let's see how voting stands at the moment forty percent of you say that argentina will declare the vote rigged or illegitimate slightly fewer think faulkland is will be told to move to britain by their south american neighbor fifteen percent expect argentina to announce a new referendum in five years while or just eight percen

to such, the kingdom seems ripe for someone younger and stronger to seize it. indeed, the very day the play opens, two aspirants to the throne have struck. the thane of cawdor attacking from within and the king of norway from without. macbeth crushes both attempts, saving the kingdom and demonstrating what he feels should be evident to everyone that he has the strength to hold the realm together. this thought has taken passionate root in his brain. stay, you imperfect speakers, tell me more. when he meets the witches, he hears only what he has already told himself. small wonder then that he starts in such guilty fashion with their pronouncements. they have discovered his secret, a secret only lady macbeth knows. this last fact must be clearly understood for it is the reason why a little later, lady macbeth upbraids him scornfully for his cowardice in hesitating to murder. she has known his thoughts all along has nourished his hopes and now is indignant that he seems to lack the guts to make them reality. macbeth does act, not because the witches compel him, but

now if the people living in scotland decided they no longer wish to become a part of the united kingdom we would respect those wishes and all we're asking is that argentina respects the wishes of the people who live on the island i hear what you say it's a laudable cause but why your colleagues in the us for example for example the e.u. that normally go along with what britain wants not seeing eye to eye with you on this one what are what are you seeing that they're not in argentina is not seeing well i'm not sure that the united states of america would ever say that the people who live on the island should not be able to determine for themselves. they are associated with and it's the same with the european union the fact is that's why i suspect that this referendum which is being called by the fall and ireland britain is really isolated on this some sort of international again has insisted upon i'm sort of pressure again but britain is pretty isolated on this. no i don't believe that the united kingdom is isolated on it but you know even if we were i still believe that it is right that

do you feel like it hurts the brand of kingdom holdings and the prince?here are plenty of other billionaires who make the list and they would say they would rather the list go away because they want privacy and yet you're drawing attention to the list with this kind of a charge, and i'm wondering why. >> first of all, let me separate the prince's private net worth from my responsibility as the chief executive officer of kingdom holding company. >> right. >> and as i said, the contribution to his overall net worth is the sure component, so a total disregard for the share value of kingdom holding company. that does impact my personal responsibility, and that responsibility of the investment committee as well as the board and our shareholders. now, yes, the prince cares about his overall net worth, but i care equally important about how kingdom holding company as the saudi public company is valued and is accepted and is trading on the exchange, on a day-to-day basis, so for "forbes" to come in and say, well, we have done an independent valuation when real th

and this wasn't a tool by the united kingdom actually this was the whole referendum idea came from the falkland islands governments it was the falkland islanders themselves that have the right of self-determination and shrine into their constitution as the falkland islanders themselves have decided to exercise this right of self-determination now david cameron in london said that he would back the falkland islanders no matter what the outcome of the vote and they he has done so in argentina needs to listen the people of the falkland islands want to remain british very clear alex is it an either or situation here as it was just described. pretty much unfortunately we have to look at this from historical perspective i think both of argentina alone have been fighting for control of the island. and making since you've seen. the day when the u.k. is accused of how to explain their arguments that you sleep in their lands and they grow in their own people and we see depending on who you ask nor are you or a british historian going to tell you different version of probably just plain

last year, more than 100 women were killed by men in the unite0 kingdom. we know that domestic violence i happens across the doorways across the entire country. will the prime minister take the opportunity of internationalll women's day to pay tribute the outstanding work being done byrn wilshire police and finding newe ways tod reduce the crime and also to the support they are providing services for those who suffer in my constituency. i am happy to do that. think that fight domestic violence an important part of international woman's week as sheim says. i want to commend not just the police in wilshire but the locad authority that has done goodwi work bringing all the agencies together to make sure we have a joint approach of trying to crack this difficult problem which arery actually as she says has been hidden from you.hi i'm mr. ronny campbell. here. >> a recent report suggested that we are just in this country of being suppressed by 3%. >> now the, silly. >> not you, silly. >> why is it that bunker spend and get away with the profits under the border,

catherine of well on to our top story a highly secretive security program is raising eyebrows in the united kingdom where the government has been revoking the passports of certain citizens that it considers to be dangerous to the state many of those on the blacklist were born in britain and received no explanation as to why they've been barred from their very own country the passports were often revoked with no warning when their holders were abroad it's a tactic that some have dubbed medieval exile will have to take a closer look now we begin with the below all bird jawi who came to the united kingdom as a baby he grew up there but had a citizenship revoked almost three years ago he was later killed in a u.s. drone strike in somalia and his close friend british born mohammad sacar had suffered a similar fate he was a private of his nationality and also killed by a u.s. drone attack in somalia that same year a sudanese a british man took his four british children on holiday to sudan shortly after leaving he was stripped of us passport and his children were prevented from growing up in the united ki

saudi arabia house people sponsoring turkey has its people the united states has its people the united kingdom and france and those of some of the opposition figures act accordingly to what their foreign sponsors who want them to do as a result we see more disagreement as a disagreement comes not only from the national disagreement the disagreement over national causes like how to deal with events and who it comes from the international disputes between these countries often we've seen like the united states from really cold like to advance people to the solution at some point to be contradicted by the united kingdom and france as we've seen recently with that with that with the embargo with weapons involved or regarding sending weapons from the you to syria the united kingdom and france were acting in complete disengagement with what the united states was likely is declaring it wants to do of course the position changed afterwards so i tell you it's not embarrassing because everyone knows that this is opposite. some of the external opposition or opposition operating abroad is directly linked

simil similarly, inside the church, i think a lot of people who would fall into that kingdom category view themselves as communion catholics. they don't view themselves as opposing specific markers of catholic identity and a lot of the communion catholics are very strong advocates of social justice. so i do think in principal we ought to get along, but right now we don't trust each other very much across these divides and that's creating real problems for our country and for those of you who are catholic for our church. >> a lot of american catholics are progressive. they're for married priests, women priests, gay marriage. it was really interesting, though, when we started talking about benedict stepping down, i had kate childs graham stepping down. she's gay. she's active in progressive catholic groups. and i asked her if people asked her why she's catholic. here is what she told me. >> i say that this church is as much my church as it is pope benedict's church. this church is hope for me. and i think that we see young catholics and progressive catholics, members of call to action,
