in my mind that should not be a single us military base and an undemocratic country. don't know if that makes me a lefty. it would seem to me that anyone who believes in democracy should not be supporting countries that are not democratic. so, the economic impact on the cultural and social impact, economic impacts goes away in a place like open our. there have been huge protests in okinawa for decades i is the us military presence. the united states basically ruled okinawa as a colony until 1972, unlikelike the rest of japan, which regained its at least de facto independence more quickly after world war ii. the united states has been returning some base land for the past decade or so, and you see numerous examples where land has been converted into shopping areas, housing, offices, schools, see similar things in germany, for example. and i think, okinawa is a gorgeous tropical island. except that it is dominated by us military bases. 20 percent of the main island is currently us military bases. think about 20 percent of rhode island, for example, covered by a foreign

when victor orban the prime minister turns up at the meeting in brussels today it's fundamentally undemocratict wouldn't be a surprise at this point if he said he would like a referendum in his own country to see if people are prepared to accept this. you know, not only many of the eastern european countries say that they have been basically steam rolled in to this by germany. but as i said in the report it also raises the question of whether it meets the needs of the refugees as well, because [ technical difficulties ] any pass through orin tending to set up in say the netherlands and sweeter might then be told by something, now you are going to poland or slovakia where they don't want to go? the countries don't want them other. the interior minister said this would stop asylum tourism and people don't have the right to decide where they want to go. it also suggests the european union despite all the disunity that you witness every single day, that you are trying to pro tent that the -- that it can act in a unified way, clearly that isn't the case all the. >> okay, laurence, we'll leave it th

clearly, here in hungary and the czech republic and other countries as well, they think it is deeply undemocratic of the european union, and they would say particularly germany to steamroll them into accepting people who in some populations don't want them. equally and just as important if not more so is it fair to ask refugees that came all the way over here and probably obviously have a dream of going to live in the netherlands or sweden somewhere to be told you have to live in slovakia when the refugees don't want to go there and they don't want them, either. the european union at the moment is intent on dodging all the questions. austria said that refugees shouldn't have the right to decide where they want to go, but for the european union leadership the most important thing is to try and pretend and suggest that as a bloc they can actually get through this crisis with some sense of unity even though it's perfectly obvious they don't have that unity at all. here's how the eu's foreign policy heads tried to make that point this morning. >> i really hope that on the basis of this decision yeste

it is a very undemocratic way to run the democratic party. we have important issues to talk about.eople are looking for solutions. this much i know from the time i have spent in iowa and new hampshire and i think the latest polling shows this, this race is wide open in the democratic party. it does not serve our party well to circle the wagons around the sheitable front runner as continues her downward ascent. what would serve our party is to have debates and speak to that year earning the people have for new leadership and an ability to get things done. that is a phrase i hear all across the country, we need to get things done again. issues, terms of the when we first met a few weeks ago, your here in new york city to lay out your pretty ambitious immigration agenda and immigration has become even bigger issue in terms of the republican discussion. about -- talk differentiate yourself in terms of not a lengthy republican candidates, but your fellow democratic candidates and president obama on immigration. >> thank you. i believe our country is made stronger every generation by the
