the region is also coming along.he region has already, since we did our study, implemented some form of pricing on the bay bridge, for example. where there is a larger charge. i think we are moving in that direction. the technology is improving in terms of collection and detection and follow through and so on. and we've also been learning from the experiences of the cities that you mentioned, especially stockholm and london which have not repealed their congestion pricing programs. in fact, found them to be effective in providing funding for transit and alternatives for people who want other alternatives. so, i think this is an item that will continue to be in discussion. we have continued to keep the follow through of the study alive. and i believe that administration, the next administration will be faced with this issue at the federal level simply because we don't see in the transportation community agreement on an increase in the gas tax, the federal gas tax. but there is a clear need, as you saw in the plan, for

so, the region is very dependent on san francisco to address a significant part of the region's growthnd transportation challenge. so, we need to determine how to manage these 400,000 plus new daily auto trips. we know that there is not much low-hanging fruit. everything involves a trade-off. and that we need to do things differently to meet this challenge. we know that also that a lot of the growth in san francisco is going to happen in the city's core, the soma, the mission bay, and new auto trends in neighborhoods are going to counteract our efforts to improve new travel times, [speaker not understood]. we know that it's going to take new ways of doing things, such as leveraging the private sector investment, between the core and the south bay. [speaker not understood]. where do we put new capacity and how much new capacity, and how much reallocating right away is it going to take. we analyze that it would take to actually achieve some of significant goals, so, in addition to just making sure we don't fall subject to those low speeds on the previous slide, we also have significant g

now, these numbers come from the regional level. we have to look at the reality of the local level as well. what does that mean in terms of our transportation plan? we have to make sure our transportation plan is actually put in place, the need to really up lift neighborhoods that don't have the infrastructure that we need. when you have fewer choices and you have to get somewhere and you have a car, you're going to get in your car because that's the only choice you have. and i think we have to be really cognizant of that, moving forward how we can as a city support neighborhoods like the ones in district 11, district 10 and the outlying districts, district 7 and in 4 that have fewer options for transit. just want to make sure that we're moving forward, we take that into consideration and how that could be -- so it's really a part of transportation plan for the city. >> thank you, commissioner avalos. that's an excellent point and we'll make sure we continue to look at that. commissioner wiener. >> thank you very much. and i just wan

region to asia and to the pacific region do you do you do you agree with that i think definitely this is the case and i think the summit and actually it's very critical that it's happening in russia is it a case or a trend i mean moving the moving i think it's a trend really and if you see china's growth if you see some of the efforts of the region in the eastern part of the world to integrate and to have internal growth you see a major shift happening because whereas before for example china was exporting most of the things into the united states now it has very robust very significant internal market and this is a case with many economists so definitely becoming a very big factor in what is happening in the world but if we keep in mind the economic difficulties and we even call it an economic crisis that that happened in the west and many western countries have have still not recovered from this from this economic crisis is it true that the asian countries they look more reliable in terms of the economic cooperation than the usual western partners but is obviously really more reliab

the a.p.r. pacific region the share is much smaller although this region is developing but it record it has to do with the different reasons first and foremost due to the fact that during our and soviet times russia's been attention to developing far east. but it was not that active in developing this region. as it should have been. as far as the us talk goes this was closed it is the base of the naval fleet and it was closed your eyes with this. and let much was developing here in vale of russia russia will be behaving differently. first of all to meet them google tried to possible raise to develop infrastructure. there's nothing new that i could see children citizens but it would be interesting for our foreign guest to find out. before the beginning of the twenty first century. pressure. developing in. such a way that when it was possible to get to go there was talk of my life when it was possible. for them to. go there whereas. during summer the only possible way was the indian ocean. there the first railways . but one thirteen zero four it was. the second row appeared in the eighty's it's jus

tsa now has 11 regions. the national capital region and 10 other offices. -- gsa now has 11 regions. i wonder if you thought about the base line question of whether this is too many regions? >> that has been the first question we asked in each one of the top discussions we had with each of the regions. by the 11th time i answer the question, they got much better at answering it. the fact it -- the fact that what we do have such our retail component to it. we needed to run 9000 facilities and they have leases or government owned and specific local needs. they have specific local requirements. we do contracting work with agencies that are spread throughout the entire country. there are specific needs of those agencies have. the biggest question is how to restructure those regions and do we need redundant systems, and how do we overcome some of the challenges that have faced the organization since the peace in 1955. the ability to have transparency and disability to what is happening at the local level, and making

the rest of the region along with. the u.s. state department had denied any involvement with the film but the statement fails to diffuse the anger on the culture of isis surrounding its production as did london just a geisha. reports. the anger over this film has been growing like a snowball so has the confusion over who made it at the beginning our colleagues at the a.p. news agency reached to the person who posted the video on you tube someone named sambo's silly by phone he confirmed that he had made the film identified himself as an israeli american the israeli foreign minister said there was no such israeli citizen and who ever had shot the film was and i quote an unspeakable act then our colleagues tracked down december so his cell number which brought them to the home of someone named nakoula mr nakoula told them that he had produced the film and that he was a christian copland but whatever made the film its trailer went viral after an egyptian american coptic activist from washington d.c. sent an e-mail to journalists a

seems like every hour we're hearing more updates about potential protests spreading across the region this is of course turmoil in the arab world over the fence a video denigrating the prophet muhammad we've actually seen the protests spread to right here in lebanon there are a lot calmer than what we've seen in other parts of the middle east there are protesters both in the city of tripoli where a lot of the syrian fighting has actually spilled over into as well as in the southern city of so don we've also seen protests reported in israel where protesters reportedly burned an american flag there as well as pakistan where there were a lot calmer than some of the other protests but local officials there had called on the expulsion of the u.s. ambassador there. given the large number of that country gets a i doubt that we would see that actually happening we've also seen protests spread to morocco sudan and tunisia now of course the most violent example that we've seen to date has really been after of course the tragic killing of the u.s. ambassador in libya has been in yemen where thur

not only in egypts, but countries across the region. today, chaos in another u.s. embassy, this time, yemen, angry protesters chanting death to america, death to israel and burning american flags. now, all of this amid growing criticism of the obama administration's handling of this international crisis, a crisis that has now led to the murder of four americans, whiching the u.s. ambassador, libya and two former navy seals. >> the world needs american leadership, the middle-east needs american leader help and i intend to be a president that provides the leadership that america respects. >> would you consider the current egyptian regime an ally of the united states? >> i don't think we would consider them an ally, but we don't consider them an enemy. >> we don't have the mutual defense treat weegypt. what we do have is a very strong defense relationship. we expect that strong defense relationship to continue. >> we have sent a sense of weakness to them and a apologetic and shades of the carter administration >> i don't understand this, why of all people, barack obama

united states that dominated the region since 1970. egic shift. egypt from a pro sew yet enemy to pro-american ally. we have dominated the region. we are now in retreat. obama, himself, said we're doing a pivot out of the middle east to the pacific. proclaimed the tide of war is over. he took us out of iraq. we're leaving no residual, of course he announced withdrawal from afghanistan on a timetable. when it came to arab spring, he was indecisive. in iran he would not support protesters. libya half in and half out. everybody in the region understands that america had been the dominant element. in withdrawal is not interested. arab are apoplectic about iran going nuclear, not just israel. now our friends are looking around saying do we have anybody who is supporting it? the extreme jihaddist and the moderate jihaddist in the region saying this is our time. that is what is -- i'll give you one example of the withdrawal of the influence. syria. does anybody in the region ask what is the american position? everybody wants to know what russi

i have met with former leaders in the region. you need the deep personal relationship. you need to set clear expectations. what are the real problems that are the root to these other issues it is the palestinian issue the economic conditions in some of these countries. we have one other thing that we have in common and that is to make sure iran does not get a nuclear weapon. we need to have the deep relationships clear expectations and start moving forward on those issues. >> when the arabs see what's happening i felt alone. not many of us kt mcfarland a handful saying woe a lot of reporters on other network running off saying isn't this the greatest thing since sliced bread. careful what you wish for. the must be bmust b mubaraks an in the world are dangerous. >> president obama with all good intentions are saying we are going to reset our relationship with the muslim world with the middle east. these problems have been long and enduring. he set false expectations as to how much progress we can make on these issues. we have always been working. one of the goals is clea

developing the oil fields in its far east region, russia has arrived as a full-fledged member of the asia-pacific region. yusuke kamamura, nhk world. >> nhk world's hideo joins us now. he's the moscow bureau chief. so, russia seems to be trying to forge stronger links to asia by using its abundance of oil and gas. what does russia hope to gain by rapidly shifting its energy strategy from west to east? >> diversification of the energy market is very important to russia. 90% of its energy export so far have been going to europe. but europe has a debt crisis. european countries are seeking cheaper energy from other sources. so the russian government has a new plan to target asia. it's an attractive and growing market. by 2020, russia wants to increase its share of export of crude oil to asia by three times. >> is russia trying to exert more influence by using its energy oil and gas and by becoming -- sorry, becoming more stable supplier of energy? >> i believe the country wants to use its energy leaders to boost its regional influence. russia has had little to bargain with until now. its

how will your company culture be out in the development of business in the region when. we started to large scale asia oriented projects in the far east and build in coal and grain. we think that after last year's tsunami in japan demand for russian coal rises it will be just as selling g substituting for nuclear power stations going out of service in the past with a grain terminal well russia has enough grain to increase its exports which would be five million tons. however in russia's far east existing infrastructure allowed to export seventy thousand tons last year and we will be able to export over one hundred tons more. what are the main problems that russia has to solve in the order to be able to capitalize on its unique location in the region. to make russia more attractive for international cargo flows that's what we need to solve the problem of insufficient railway access to tools that keep. trucks for days before it gets on board a ship customs regulations are another issue it takes almost two weeks for a container to get customs clearance the same amount of tim

will become the dominant region of the future yes the need you tend to see the future of the region rather in terms of most of all between the u.s. and china rather than cooperation what makes you think so. you know when you look at history when you have a dominant power that's been put in place for a very long time. in this case the united states and you have a rising power like china there's always going to be friction and conflict now that doesn't mean it will lead to war a conflict does not always have to lead to war but certainly there will be rivalry and competition are you talking about a possibility up a cold war between between america and china a cold war across the pacific. well tao i remember the cold war very well as you say. and there are ways in which the situation is similar and ways in which it's dissimilar it's dissimilar talk about that first it's dissimilar in the sense that the u.s. and china have many economic bonds that wasn't true between the united states and the soviet union they didn't have economic ties very much at all but the u.s. and china have m

challenges remain to resolve the region's debt woes. struggling nations will need to boost their economic growth while undertaking austerity measures. >>> now the decision appears to have calmed down the bond market for now. spanish and italian government bonds were bought back. the yield on the spanish benchmark ten-year bonds declined from the mid6% range to just over 6%. the yield on the italian benchymark ten-year bonds fell from the mid-5% range to the 5.2% level. in late july, the spanish government bonds were trading well over the 7% threshold, a level at which a country is set to become financially unsustainable. >>> it's time to check on the markets. u.s. markets rallied on thursday marking strong gains on on the dow and nasdaq following the ecb policy meeting. the dow surged 1.9% at 13,292 points. this is a fresh closing high since the failure of lehman brothers in 2008. now to see how stocks are trading this friday here in tokyo, we go to ramin mellegard standing by at the tokyo stock exchange. good morning. investors were wai

art of imperialistic actions by the united states in the region. now have been reports of an anti us protest all your own now in gaza or an inch units while the taliban also has called on afghans to wage a long term battle against america does this mean that americans can no longer feel safe anywhere in the middle east or north africa. well americans. or responsible who are part of the news in the region and for the. care of their. in the region but we also has to get out when our government. doesn't learn how to live there are. universally a manner overthrow governments like we did a lot of here in libya but resume here. we will be targeted. killing cavell we appreciate your time professor of political science at bluefield state college in west virginia thanks for coming back again. all right well let me time activists in syria say battles have intensified in the country's largest city of aleppo with rebels trying to seize the international airport now under the control of government troops but airfields thought to be used by security forces to pou

actions in the region have been consistent with that goal the u.s. has armed the gulf states to the teeth turning a blind eye to widespread human rights violations like of democracy terrorists turning a blind eye to a lot of things the question is whether the world is ready for another devastating war in the region i'm going to check on our. some of america's largest corporations have had to ship hoping to win new business ties in the wake of the country's uprising and as the largest u.s. trade delegation ever to travel to the our wild they push for new markets comes as washington has sweetened the deal with a pleasure one billion dollars in debt already egypt's foreign policy has been largely in line with that of big laughs expressing sympathy for the uprising in syria and demonstrating support for bahrain's ruling family and journalists around the pervert has broken extensively about developments in the our wild american trip to egypt has an agenda that stretches beyond the economy. his only hope is by the u.s. government although they are insistin

air force is growing exponentially over the next two years in terms of the asia pacific region and the u.s. if you look at what i mean there is a seemingly deployment to darwin it's part of the unit deployment program which is a liaison next to me where the next twenty years the next ten or twenty years this is where it's going in terms of the organization you're really very bored down in u.s. forces overall ok you have given the five hundred billion dollars and an additional five maybe it was running against russia and in the now you have maybe the drawdown a number of troops but the pentagon is still and will be as we will see a dominant force in the political calculations as well as the military calculations of u.s. foreign policy you'll see. where it will continue to shrink ok mark because i want to. go to mark i'd like to go back to mark i mean these are important trading partners at the same time i mean this is what's really odd about it because you know i was at the apec summit and lot of us stuck you know on a lot of talk about trade and now we have the violence there how do th
