. >> uganda, my friend. we are in the vicious cycle. everything going wrong at the same time. with costs going up, and inability to get jobs to pay for it. most importantly, the easy money. it is easy to get loans. the other factor that's going to happen really soon as the amount that you have to pay back. it's what you are starting to see is a lot of deferrals of these loans. that is building up as well. unfortunately, we build out banks and homeowners, we build out auto companies. it is wide open. >> do you see happening? >> what i think is happening here, we are in a vicious cycle. let's not blame the students. they have an effort to balance their budget and they are cutting aid to higher education. sometimes up to 75% cuts in one year. 75% of students attend public universities. that is where this is happening. what the government is attempting to do is slightly decreased the amount of money they are making off of these students, going from 16% to 11% in fees. they do want to ensure that students are paying back something every month. so that we are preventing the cycle of

would target the rebel m23 and other groups operating in the drc's border regions with rwanda and uganda. a rainy court has cleared 21 medics charged and in some cases jailed for treating demonstrators during anti- government protests two years ago. they were swept up in the u.s.- backed monarchy's crackdown on political opposition. three medics arrested in the case remain behind bars. concern is growing for the help the former south african president nelson mandela after his hospitalization for a long infection. he spent the second and the hospital thursday, his third hospital admission in four months. president obama extended his well wishes for mandela's's recovery. >> obviously we are deeply concerned with nelson mandela's health. he is a hero to all of us. i am sure i speak for the other leaders here. we will be keeping him in our thoughts and prayers and his entire family. physically as he has been in character and leadership over so many decades. and hopefully, he will come out of this latest challenge. >> the south african government says mandela is in good spirits and making pro

apac is pushing for a congressional resolution that would say should israel decided to strike ugandathe u.s. would give all the support including military options mosques to humane. i . have stated this time in the game and we expect. to meet this kind of a congressional green light for preemptive strike although non-binding is seen by some as a way to put more pressure on the obama administration which so far has been reluctant to see the us dragged into another war in the middle east the moonless will never abandon their nuclear efforts unless they genuinely believe that america is serious about keeping all options on the table. i many of the conference said they thought the administration was soft on iran but that's a view that was expressed on the sidelines not from the podium but the potential of israeli nuclear defense is the only thing that's keeping the country alive not relying on america because obama has not been forthcoming in defending them against iran in fact he's been stalling apac is also pushing for legislation that would designate israel as a major strategic ally o

on women violence focussing on women in new delhi, and with really smart people from new delhi and ugandaa woman lawyer from there, and it was just heart breaking to hear how much women are still victimized. we know it. we know it in conflict zones. it's also done in the shadows, in the dark. >> right. >> not only street violence, but violence within the families. >> right. domestic violence as we know is a problem all over the world, including here, which is why it was great through this week, the congress finally passed the violence against women act, but around the world violence is certainly one of many obstacles to women, but what's interesting is when you increase women's -- when you empower women, not only does that make them more likely to stand up for themselves, but when they have more economic value and people, particularly men, recognize that, domestic violence decreases. there were so many secondary benefits. it increases economic growth generally. it increases the likelihood that peace agreements will take root. it reduces violence not only within homes and within societies,

there are some cultures that literally were gays are still put to death there's this big effort in uganda that was actually started here in the united states by right wing senators. republican senators but in any case you know i get that but i think that this is a basic civil rights issue and it's one that we need to promote dealing griffen excuse me indiana a deal what's up talk about democracy. i'm just curious why you. well you always go it's a democracy when really it's a republic ok that's a great question dale and thanks for asking it james madison back in seventeen eighty seven when the constitution first draft the constitution was put together if you looked in a dictionary at democracy you'd see see republic if you looked a republican say see it would say see democracy functional the words meant the same thing and madison created an artificial distinction between the two and he did it for one of the federalist papers i forget which one maybe was twenty four and in that he said basically democracy is where everybody shows up and votes and the old greek the most you have to have six

we're talking about pakistan and nigeria, long prison sentences in places like uganda and that's where been trying to implement the kill the gays bill with tanzania and malawi so what sort of diplomatic implications could the move by the queen have, especially given the fact that this conversation has bubbled to the surface as a consequence of this charter? >> well, then again, i don't mean to be short of negative, but not a lot really. a lot of people were sort of hoping that because of her backing, shall we say, things may change. the good thing actually, thomas, is the fact that because it's her majesty the queen and this topic is now being raised, people are talking about it in far more detail, in terms of what the monarchy can do, not at all. as a royal family, one has to remember they have to remain impartial. we wouldn't really know her thoughts on this anyway. but if you want to put a positive spin, the queen and the royal family are very much positive supporters of the community. so, you know, i don't -- i think some people over here are being a bit cruel about it. but this is

later in life two oldest daughters go to uganda. they are about 18 at that time and 21. they are spending a prolonged period of time in uganda doing work and one day i get a call from them. they tell me that they had returned safely. i said where did you go? that you returned safely and you think you needed to tell me. well they went up to the border of sudan which was at that time in the middle of a war. really? i'm glad you let me know. [laughter] but yes they do a lot of crazy things. my middle one spent a year in molly. >> they are just as committed to social justice. >> much more than -- yes. >> i was just wondering, you talk about nature versus nurture but malcolm gladwell wrote a book and he wrote a lot of books and frankly i can't remember which book this was. >> outliers? >> pardon me? >> outliers i think. >> yes, where he talks, i remember one specific example of a father and son who were both attorneys in different generations and they were equally smart and equally energetic and equally everything but the father was just your standard local lawyer that everyb

last year there was a video that went viral on youtube about the guy that was taking charge in uganda. and i had never heard about that. all of my friends were talking about it and nobody knew about this. and now all of these celebrities are starting charities and i know that there is controversy on where that money was going. but my point is there a way to make the shooters aware of what is going on? >> one of the positive things is all the people wanting to donate. a lot of good can come out of publicity. but you just have to take the killer out of the picture. that's the problem. so i think giving a good example, i did a study with my colleague of people magazine. we looked at every cover from the 70s up to a few years ago. when they first started, it was all about people who did good things. they had people and politicians who did the right thing. medical discoveries, astronauts who did great things, here it is. and over time it started to get very negative. after a while, the majority of the covers were criminals, jeffrey dahmer was on the cover three times. he was also in the mo

intelligence efforts on finding joseph kony, the notorious leader of the lord's resistance army in uganda. i recently visited africa. i have been in the field with our troops who are stalking this man, and they will find him. he is a notorious murderer. the president has said we will put an end to his reign of terror, and we will. the bill that we're considering is going to provide the funds to finish. let me summarize by saying this bill is a compromise solution that meets budget caps, does not unfairly help the department of defense compared to other agencies. it eliminates wasteful and unneeded spending, lowers the risk to readiness and the threat of a hollow force. it takes care of our troops and their families. and it addresses the priorities of our national defense. i will not quibble or argue with my colleague from arizona or any other colleagues. if there are provisions in the house bill which is included here in its entirety that need to be challenged, addressed, debated or changed, so be it. that's why we're here. but we are starting with this and with the good intention of find
