oh the blockade i think it is in spanish i mean they are able to unite the people against the united states and reaffirm the legitimacy however they define it because of the bar going mean it seems so nonsensical what why doesn't the united states just flood the place with dollars ok i mean just say hey forget it and then most likely they would be political change there the embargo maintains the status quo that's one interpretation anyway go ahead and go. well quite quite frankly if the embargo was lifted and people started travelling back and forth you begin to have the exchange of ideas you began to have to plan thousands of seeds of democracy we saw this historically happen in eastern europe we saw this already happen in bringing down the top the top regimes so wide i'm sorry i'm sorry not boggle i believe i believe i am i am i thought i let you finish your i let you finish your let me finish mine i strongly believe that the reason we maintain an embargo in this country is because it benefits certain cubans in politics and in business to maintain this hatred towards this other gove

but the united states had not accepted the invitation. in an interview with nhk last november president barack obama said he wants to visit hiroshima and nagasaki during his presidency. but observers say many people in the u.s. oppose the idea of the president visiting the atomic bombed cities. the u.s. ambassador's attendance is seen as an effort by the obama administration to show its commitment to nuclear disarmament and non-proliferation. >>> a russian nuclear submarine scrapped after an accident 25 years ago has been moved to a shipyard near the far eastern port city of vladivostok for dismantling. russia's nuclear agency, rosatom on wednesday transported the submarine using floats from its mooring site in an inlet in the russian far east 30 kilometers away. in january the agency decided to dismantle the nuclear submarine, saying there was no danger of radioactive pollution. in 1985, during the cold war, an explosion occurred when the submarine, called "echo ii," was being refueled at a soviet navy base in the sea of japan. ten crew

is it the internal dynamics of the united states? ere we have a low approval rating in your country? what is it? >> all of the above. basically, this is a government that has come into office with a very mixed sort of parliamentary structure. at the same time, there are constitutional issues that needed to be attended to. we've attended to them. there are economic issues. we have severe power crisis, energy crisis because the previous government did not invest in power generation, so several hours pakistan does not have electricity and people are sitting in their homes in the heat of 100, 105, 110 degrees with no fans, let alone air conditioning. there is a water short-yardage. and then, above all, there is a concern -- there is a water shortage. and then above all there is a concern that india is not reconciled to our sort of nationhood and statehood, and so those are concerns that are reflected in public opinion. and the government also has to deal with the view that the united states has not been a consistent friend of pakistan. an

the united states rate again is over 700 per 100,000. minorities make up an alarmingly disproportion share of the incarcerated population of adults and june of niles. in fact, incarcerate for african-americans is 4,000 per 100,000 in several states and when you consider the study that anything over 500 was counterproductive, we can see that a lot of money is being wasted and cousht productive incarceration. in fact, in those 10 states, with the incarceration of african-americans approaching 4,000, you could spend thousands of dollars for every child in that community -- in those communities with the money that's being wasted now on counterproductive incarceration. and that money could be put in evidence-based programs that have been shown and proven not only to reduce crime but save more money than the program's cost. we know that those comprehensive programs work. they work everywhere you put them into effect and we need to invest in those rather than counterproductive incarceration. now, h.r. 5143 calls for a distinguished nonpartisan g

the tough immigration law in arizona is being criticized across the united states for a lot of racial profiling the law that said to come into force. the police to stop and search people who are just suspected of being and immigrants critics say will lead to the targeting of ethnic groups supporters claim the. results in california found if illegals have gone. and people around the world. it's a bank breaking job not everyone is fit to do most of these workers arrived in the united states illegally some from as far as central america and many are oblivious to the political firestorm centered around them know what happened here for leave and you're going to leave any time i mean a lot of this is about lawful citizens versus illegal invaders if you want to build a fifty foot fence i'm in favor of the fifty foot fence there's a loving million illegal immigrants in the united states. those could be american jobs those could be tax paying jobs but some industries especially california's agriculture businesses don't want americans working for them. which translates into workers needed a spa

there's new rule in politics in the united states. without latino vote no one can make it to the white house. everything has been changed. >> i counted under the affiliates about 64. is that number close across the country? >> own and operated, less than that but operates probably the right number. >> how many people watch you at 6:30 a night? >> it's over 2,000,000 people. easily. we're the fifth largest network in the united states. people don't realize that. in the mornings, on sunday, maybe a million people. new through there was a time when several people owned it. who owns it now? >> it's a new group. it's in charge of the group. and there's a group of in voss or thes that trusted us and i think they believe in us and the hispanic community and they believe that we're going to keep on growing. what's so interesting is while the networks constantly complain about the declining ratings, we're going exactly the opposite way. now with the world cup. we have a game recently. it was mexico playing against worldwide and more than 9 mill

washington we have now was he is the director of the south asia center at the atlantic council of the united states and author of crossed swords pakistan its army and wars within and in london we go to anatol lieven the chair of international relations and terrorism studies at king's college london and the author of the upcoming book pakistan a hard country and another member of our crosstalk team on the hunger all right across talk rules in effect gentlemen that means you can jump in anytime you want and until i want to go to you first hillary clinton was in islam about not long ago i had a gift five hundred million dollars for a civilian projects build dams and schools and whatnot. and the pakistanis were didn't seem all that grateful expression after almost twelve billion dollars in aid since the bush administration almost eight of billion of that was for military but they weren't grateful so i asked maybe not even a rhetorical question what is the state of us pakistani relations. well this is like a very unhappy but. ultimately inevitable marriage or at least if this marriage breaks the

it's a back breaking job not everyone is fit to do most of these workers arrived in the united states illegally so far as central america and many are oblivious to the political firestorm centered around you know what's happened here for leave and they're going to leave any time i mean this is about lawful citizens versus the legal invaders if you want to build a fifty foot fence i'm in favor of the fifty five million illegal immigrants in the united states. those could be american jobs those could be tax paying jobs but some industries especially california agriculture businesses don't want americans working for them. which translates into workers needed a spanish language sign definitely aimed towards immigrant workers a form based workforce that's making sure that these strawberries make it to your table there's no need for interviews or long applications undocumented immigrants simply show up at a field and they're hired many people including former president george w. bush i mean immigrant workers do the jobs americans have to do at a farm in oxnard a city just north of los angel

people have died from the disease with eva sixty million people infected in that time according to the united nations u.s. scientists identified hiv as the cause and developed a successful test to detect its presence but this has itself been a subject to scientific disagreements some believe there are different causes of aids not just hiv and cast doubt on the standard aids test which is based on the taking the presence of the hate hiv virus was you might think there are only a small number of scientists who doubt the hate i.v. aids is there a fair the conference is a list of around two thousand five hundred names all the scientists who challenge the classic definition some t. have different visas to treatment author and his doctor tentative therapies to conventional aids fighting drugs so strong is his belief. these are the treatment methods that he's written of twenty three years positive based on his experiences. somber deserve an explanation for free market reforms or could live for the. troops. still want to transfer from so far this dissenting from the conventional view that hiv causes

what is so wonderful about the united states? i have never seen a country that has such a fantastic openness. it is something you would not see in almost any other country in the world. >> why you think that is? >> as a journalist, it is such a privilege, and to be a country in which it is that to criticize your government. they were discussing openly for how many hours? six hours? the same day i was talking to desmond tutu, and we were talking about an experiment in democracy. the situation in which the president would be confronted by millions of people by the official party, and nothing happened. they go back to their home, and nothing happened. in other countries, you would have a military coup, but nothing happened. it is a wonderful and marvelous experiment. >> the argument is they are not opene enough, and we would like to be more open, but still it is fantastic if you compare it to other places. in great britain, the political culture is different, and it is almost obligated for politicians, but i am still amazed by what i

with you at the helm, the united kingdom and the commonwealth have contributed immensely to the united nations. today, the four largest providers of u.s. -- un peacekeeping troops were distributed around the world. you are working with us to force the development, a dead to rights, and promote global security. in september, we gathered for this mission by pushing for progress towards the millennium development goals. this s the blueprint of the world's leaders to save lives of the poor and vulnerable, to promote gender equality, and to provide education, opportunity, and decent work to billions of people. we will once again he your call and devote our full strength to the ideals of our charter and to realizing a better world for all. your majesty, for your dedication to the united kingdom and the commonwealth, to the united nations and our common values, we say thank you and welcome and we wish you continued good health and we are happy to have you here today. thank you very much.

boston built the first modern sewer system in the united states. ours was completed between 1877 and 1884. with this wonderful new sewer system, we were taking our filth and moving it out to the ocean. of course, all of this was untreated. in the 1960s, we were still pumping all of our sewage out to moon island, untreated. we would get swimmers here, never knowing, in the middle of summer, why you would have a cold. well, we were swimming in diluted sewage. melosi: the major way to deal with pollution, at least until early into the 20th century, was through the process of dilution. the assumption was that the capacity of rivers and streams, and even the seas, allowed for certain levels of pollution that eventually would purify themself. as we get later into the 20th century, it becomes clear that the volumes of waste made dilution unworkable as a single solution. and so treatment became the ways in which we deal with pollution. narrator: to protect public health, starting in the 1950s and '60s, there was a push to put in wastewater treatment plants

they come to the united states -- the young, creative, powerful mexicans?n average, there is about 450,000 immigrants coming into the united states illegally every single year, and they are coming because there are jobs for them, so it is an economic problem for all. it is an economic problem and requires an economic solution. mexico right now, and i have to say that, is not interested in stopping that, because what are they going to do with these 900,000 new workers every single year without a job? i am sorry. it is something that has to be dealt with with both governments. united states thinks that they can do with immigration alone, by themselves. it is not possible. they have to deal with mexico on this issue. >> pin lively discussions from time to tying. here is a little bit of a lively excerpt from blue dogs, back and forth, which happened after blue dogs left cnn. -- from blue dogslou do -- excerpt from lou dobbs. >> i mentioned what word? >> president barack obama, john mccain, newt gingrich, they have stopped using the word illegal immigrants or il

the united states ought to be the best place for a manufacturer to be. we have bipartisan bicameral support. it has been mired in the senate for some time. it expired at the end of last year for the 14th time. manufacturers are small, medium, and large. any notion of whether there will be retroactive extension of the credit -- the jobs credit? more than 75% of the credit goes to jobs in the united states. >> i do not want to anticipate what we will do on that. my personal view would be we need to make it retroactive again, to encourage. as you know, we have adopted statutory pay ago. i think that was the right policy to adopt. when the republicans jettisoned statutory pay-ago -- - pay-go, they eliminated the requirement. what that allowed them to do was to incur great that without consequence in terms of procedure. but the consequence was of course we created great debt without paying for it. these are subject to statutory pay go requirements. we need to pay for those tax credits. having said that, my view is strongly that those credits are very, very im

and the president believes good for the united states. and that was a decision that republicans at the time criticized and turned out, and so far to date, has turned out to be the right decision for america's economy. >> lehrer: why then do the public opinion polls not reflect this? >> it makes sense. i mean you have 10% unemployment. the worst-- . >> lehrer: people are still hurting. >> of course, as the president says while we've turned the corner-- . >> lehrer: he share those responsibility or blame. >> no, he-- he-- it is absolutely his belief he's accountable for helping turn this economy around. the ultimate place that is it is going to be turned around is in the private sector. but what we, i.e., the government's role is to help in key areas like at that battery factory, that car company that has hired 50 new workers that we have a role to help on that. and he has an account ability but we should not forget, a, what was the condition of the country on day one. what were the set of policies that lead to those conditions. let's go bac

thank you, god bless you, and god bless the united states of america. >> hello. and senator saxby chambliss from georgia. before i begin my remarks, i would like to take a moment to a knowledge the passing of a colleague -- and to robert byrd, the longest-serving senator ever. he had the greatest respect for the rules and traditions of the senate and for all three branches of government. he defended them with passion and bigger -- vigor. i extend my deepest sympathies to his family. tomorrow is the fourth of july. from the village squares of new england to the pomp france -- to the palm beaches of california, to georgia, to the prairies and beyond, americans are gathering to celebrate our nation's birthday. amid the red, white, b and blueunting, -- and blue, many of us will listen to the words of a document that urged americans to throw off the yoke of a cane and make their own destiny as an independent nation -- of a king make their own destiny as an independent nation and a free people. signing the declaration of independence was a brave move. by embarking on su

so that is more information from the united states. yeah, but right now, you know, you just mentioned the newspaper covered the china story. >> it is mostly the chinese audience. it is the same thing. >> maybe is why you raised it up. i think the level of understanding demanded right now, for the two countries to have and for the people to have about each other hasris ricriha much. and relations between the two countories as well as the two countries are changing all the time as being reflected over the past few years, so i think we are juggling with that past of cupping up with the changes. coming here, and having all of us sitting together, we are at least one step forward. >> can i say something quickly? a surprising thing is i've spent a lot of time on u.s. two shanghai flights. a number of people i think there is a pool of first-hand knowledge about china in the american midwest for the business deals. you see young american students all over china what worries me is the political elite of each country is ignorant of the other. the
