east timor recently broke away. rebel forces on aceh and irian jaya threaten the same.hile most of indonesia is islamic, the island of bali is mostly hindu. is this why radical muslims recently bombed a popular nightclub here? or it is because the tropical paradise was a mecca for western tourists? in the current war against terrorism, we explore the geographical roots of the tourist economy that crashed after the violent attack in 2002; whether the influx of visitors will threaten the local indigenous culture; and how bali's distinct culture fits into the complex diversity of indonesia. these balinese fishermen still use the methods passed down from their grandfathers. but life around them is changing. it's a lot greener than i thought it'd be. yeah! look at all those coconut trees. some of those roadside stalls look interesting. yeah, might do those tomorrow. still haven't worked out the money though.

the way i have believed timor, besides myself and we need the support of the director and the commissioner because by myself i cannot make the work. also my staff and below the knees to be working together. the last management, we were working at with acting. then, everything hopefully improving. the number of backlog. hopefully this is in there for a major project. there also serving to the amount of income starting to really sit. thank you for the opportunity and myself. also, as an engineer, i am sure that the building is safe before we can issue the permit the appeal case, whatever. i wanted to come up and say something and now i can say it. we are all human. when we find mistakes, we need to connect it. first of all, the point we wanted to make sure that planning was okay because the neighborhood has their voice. the second thing is to make sure that the section is safe. when i looked at the package, it looked like a huge building. unfortunately, it is only a two- story residential single-family. why are we spending so much time on it? all of the history of it, we make mistakes. we ar

thousands are expected to show up and when i ask ploat the timors here about -- protestors here about the chief temporarily stepping down, they said it was a step in the right direction. many were afraid there would be riots -- riots if he didn't do anything and that is why some are glad he did something. of course, the fact that there has been no arrest, they're still angry about that, but say that that is a step in the right direction. >> where is trayvon's family tonight, valerie? >> reporter: his family is here. they'll be speaking out later on and a few minutes ago, they took the stage here saying that the chief stepping down is inconsequential. >cial media helped launch the story into the national spotlight and celebrities are tweeting their reactions. mark jones tweeted i have a 17- year-old son who walks through neighborhoods all of the time like trayvon martin. it's scary. actor tyrese gibson said, trayvon martin, we will speak for you. this mess is sending out a strong message. you may call it old town, but alexandrea officials have another name for it. the proposal for a ne

and this is, you know, following on to operations they have currently in east timor and the golan heights. and of course also prooeflsly forces were sent to pakistan to deal with the floods there as well as to haiti, of course. i think this is a welcome trend, japan's engagement internationally and again stepping into harm's way in support of the will of the international community. it's something we certainly hope to see continue. >> also, this has not gotten a lot of attention, but japan has become quite active in anti-piracy for the first time. they have a small facility in djibouti with aircraft and some maritime self-defense forces there to help on the piracy thing. it's unprecedented. it's really a police action, not a military action, but it's another example of how japan is cooperating on issues of great concern to all of us. >> a very brief follow-on about oda. in the weeks after march 11th, of course, there was a great konsation on japanese fiscal resources. at one point certain people argued japan should cut its oda to be focused at home. i think some people very strongly resis

now, the up couple bent of east timor has conceded defeat. over 80% of the votes were counted. a second round poll will happen next month with the final vote in june. it's only the country's second democratic election since gaining independence 10 years ago. the former president was overthrown by the military and a former prime minister, they've had several coups in recent years. two male nurses have been charged in uruguay over the deaths of several patients at two hospitals in the capital, montevideo. a third nurse has been charged with concealing evidence. the lawyer for one nurse said her client had humanitarian reasons, but investigators say not all the victims were terminally ill. now, a year ago today, the nato bombing campaign began in libya , object sentenciblely to protect civilians. it's seen by many as the turning point in the popular uprising to overthrow colonel gaddafi. but a highly critical report by amnesty international says that nato has failed to investigate why more than 50 civilians were killed in those air strikes. just to bring you up to date on our brea

middle class middle aged people especially people that have benefited over the last twelve years in timor and out into much you know i mean you know ironically the people protesting on the liberal side and some of the main beneficiaries of all the changes that have happened but this is why this is going to be you know revolutions around with this is going to be very civilized and it's a question i'm really cajun engaging the government and the government needs to engage back you know i mean that's the sea change here is that the government up until this point has been concerned with the elites with getting the economy back on its feet which is talking about big companies monitor. and we've. gone past that point and now it needs to start engaging the people in the small companies and employment and start raising standards of living and securing property rights and dealing with governments and since you know it's a normal aspect normal aspects here ok if it were good but before going to the break you think mr putin will deliver well it's difficult to say i think the short answer is yes he h

in chechnya and the balkans, east timor, sierra leone, zimbabwe. she was not just in the middle east, she was there. for those of you who cannot instantly remember some of her coverage, i'm sure you remember her eyepatch. this is from her work in sri lanka where she defied a government ban on journalists' access, traveled over 30 miles through the jungles to report on the terrible war crimes of the sri lankan civil war. i remember reading them at the time and being moved to try and do something. colvin suffered. she never threw in the towel. if anything, it pushed her to work even harder. her quests to help the women and children from every single war-torn country she entered endeared her to those women, those communities, those members of our global community who knew and know that her type of bravery was so rare indeed. this brutal regime has broken families, torn apart homes and forever being changed the way of life for the syrian people. there is darkness that's descended over syria by design by this awful, awful regime. and there was colvin sh

[laughter] go ahead, sir. >> i'll try to make it brief. i, i'm just curious to know you talk about justice and what course and all that which i'm all for, however, i have a problem. one of the reasons that i have a problem is like usually when the country's stronger or bigger like the united states or england, for instance, somehow they could get away with things. we bend the truth in a sense something, like waterboarding is not torture or whatever. but like the prisoners -- [inaudible] they were committing a lot of things that if any other country had done, they would have been brought to the court of justice. the united states has a problem even though i'm not -- i don't feel sorry for those terrorists for that matter, but i

support engineers to south sudan, and this is following on to operations they have currently in east tim timor and the golan heights and the floods in pakistan, as well as to haiti. so it's a welcome trend. japan's engagement internationally and again stepping into harm's way in support of the wildlife the -- support of the will of the international community. so hopefully something we'll see continue. >> also, i think this has not gotten a lot of attention but japan has become active in antipiracy for the first time. they have a small facility with p3c aircraft and marrytime self-defense forces there. this is unprecedented. it's a police action. not a military action. but another example of how japan is cooperating on issues of great concern to all of us. >> a very brief followup on about oda. in the weeks of march 11th, a great concentration on japanese fiscal resources and certain people were beginning to argue the oda should be cut so they can be focused at home. and others strongly resisted that impulse. it's natural but they resisted. it's also -- so much evidence of how much the global
