the lands in the west are the lands nobody wanted. the states made applications for the lands they did want to incorporate into state ownership or privatization because the lands are so air rid, the majority of the lands remained in federal ownership simply because the state didn't want them. nevada is the dryest state in the nation, and the mow mojave desert where this is occurring america. the land policy management act of 1976 explicitly stated that the lands in federal public ownership would remain so inperpetuity unless it could be proven that it was in the national interest to do others. the united states enjoys a unique heritage among nations of the world where we have set aside a vast acreage for the enjoyment of our citizens in a way that won't degrade the land, in a way that everyone can enjoy, and unfortunately a person like cliven bundy decides to make 600 acres of american public land his own. >> rob, we're going to take a short break, when we come back we'll talk about the particular case véeera america >> welcome back t

wilderness wouldn't be wilderness without the animals of the west. controversy continues regarding the endangered species act and specifically grizzly bears and wolves. wolves are the most controversial animals in the wilderness war. wolves were re-introduced to yellowstone national park in 1995. wolves were largely extinct in the lower 48 states by the early 1900s. bruce babbitt was president clinton's secretary of the interior. he was instrumental in returning wolves to yellowstone. [bruce babbitt] it was a statement that says, there's room for grazing on the western landscape, but ranchers do not have a right to cleanse the landscape of all other forms of wildlife that, in any way, interfere with cattle and sheep. [narrator] martin davis runs a ranch near the banks of the yellowstone river. the ranch has been in his family for 45 years. the land is worth significant money; probably far more than can ever be made from ranching. it's a life he is reluctant to give up.

in 1194, the church was again burned down, leaving only the great west gate, the western towers and the ancient crypt. miraculously their most sacred relic, the tunic of the virgin mary survived intact in the crypt to the joy of the people. even more miraculously the entire church was rebuilt in 27 years. that is the church that we can still see today. what the cathedral meant to the people who lived in these streets in the 13th century is very different from what it means today. then the cathedral was the center of spiritual life and the focus of civic pride. daily life literally revolved around it. as in many medieval towns, the western gates of the cathedral formed one sid of a great opeuare. in the middle ages this was the place where the townspeople could meet the farmers and produce of the countryside could be bought and sold. here, too, they could mingle with tinkers and peddlers, salt sellers dealers in relics, and the whole gallery of nefarious characters who thronged the roads of christendom at that time. the important rituals of people's lives centered in the church. in the c

not act -- when the west acts, it can act. hen saddam hussein invaded and annexed kuwait, that was the last annexation and it took half a year before the west woke up, but it woke up. we are seeing russian troops moving into eastern ukraine. this is totally an acceptable. it is meaningless to try to seek a new agreement with putin. ukraine was the main success in the nonproliferation. it signed the budapest agreement. that was a memorandum, not a treaty. the u.s., the u.k., and russia assured ukraine that it would have its security, national integrity. now we know those assurances were absolutely nothing. if i were iranian, i would say, let us get the nuclear arms as quickly as possible after this important lesson we have learned from ukraine. i think the cossacks are thinking the same thing. >> just a few seconds left. i'm going to start cracking the whip. >> sanctions will only bite there when they bite here. the iranian economy is about half of the russian economy. is anyone feeling the sanctions in iran? absolutely not. thi

it is past time for the west, the eu. canada as well. imposing additional hard-hitting tough sanctions. if we don't act decisively now our enemies will no longer fear us and our allies will no longer trust this. we have to red shift from a policy of reacting to events on the ground, waiting we will have to preempt and try to prevent further actions. we also need, by the way, to continue implementation. the sanctions i have just been talking about would be for what russia is doing. the legislation which was passed 2012 imposes sanctions for abusive human rights. we have to do both at the same time. the proven regime in my view is a thoroughly corrupt and authoritarian regime that will do anything to stay in power. that's what we're seeing play out. this is an extension of domestic politics. the paranoia of which was heightened almost a decade ago with the evolution peaked again with events starting in november of last year when he saw hundreds of thousands of people turn out in the streets of ukraine. the crackdown that we are seeing insi

but if the west did not do enough, russia also pursued policies that made integration very hard. by the early 1990s, moscow had launched a ferocious war against chechnya, a part of russia that had been seeking independence from moscow for more than a century. estimates vary, but many believe the russian army killed over 200,000 people in the first and second chechnyan wars. this is not how germany and japan behaved after world war ii as they sought integration. and at home, russians were quickly developing a prickly resistance to outside interference, and russian politicians who urged integration with the west became marginal figures with tiny followings. looking at this record, the historian in applebaum has argued, also in the "washington post," that the west fundamentally misunderstood russia. it saw the place as a western country in the making if only we had put forward the right policies. in fact, she argues, russia derives its identity from being a non-western country, perhaps even from being an anti-western country in the sense that it is distinct and different from the wes
