is it the internal dynamics of the united states?here 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. a

official to attend the memorial. >> ambassador john roos will represent the united states at the august 6 hiroshima peace memorial to express respect for all of the victims of world war ii. >> assistant secretary of state philip crowley said the u.s. government thought the ambassador's attendance was the right thing to do. hiroshima has been inviting all countries with nuclear weapons to attend the ceremony since 1998. 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 submari

i wanted to be fully part of the united states. that is a wonderful magnificent country for me. >> those that don't speak spanish and don't watch yuan vision. lately you have a period on other english speaking networks. where do they see you night after night? >> i do news cast at 6:30 every night nation wide. going to not tonal united states but also 13 latino american programs and sunday mornings i have the political talk show so sundays are every night. what's interesting is when i first arrived in the united states in 1983. there were only about 15 million latinos in this country. right there are 15 million. and right now. in many cities like miami and los angeles and new york. chicago. we're news cast in spanish get better ratings and more audience than english newscasters. something is changing in this country. latinos will be the majority in this country. we will be here 100 years from now. latinos will be the majority in this country. it's changing from the way we talk to the way we dance to the way we do politics. there's

everyone's just watching really waiting waiting for some kind of strategic withdrawal defeat of the united states be it. in iraq if the if the state were to not be a solid is the americans who told me when there is hard to believe there always are already talking about leaving afghanistan i mean the united states is talking about the future and for americans the future comes real soon in the region it's a lot more long term so how can we be talking about a negotiated peace when at the same time the obama administration are enormous pressure is being pressured to actually leave the region or leave it in not on the same level of where troops are and security forces are just and lowered and moved back how can you do both at the same time. well i think you have to be careful not to repeat the mistakes of the past and that is to have a very prison project would draw which is what has informed a lot of the cajun is and the caution on the part of the pakistanis that as happened after the the the soviet withdrawal from afghanistan that the americans after having helped pakistan with the majority in and i

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

as chairman scott indicated, the united states currently incarcerates 2.3 million individuals. it's the highest incarceration rate in the world. more than 90% of the incarcerated add utilities in this -- adults in this country are incarcerated at state and -- in the state and local systems, filling their prisons. and the pew center present difficulties that by 2011, continued state and local prison growth will cost taxpayers an additional $75 billion. that's simply unsustainable. this bill will help us battle those rising escalating figures and hopefully continue the decline that we observe in terms of crimes of violence in this country. it will allow us to take that comprehensive "national review" -- this is not an audit of individual state systems. this is a review. there are no mandates and the commission will issue concrete recommendations. again as the chairman of the subcommittee alluded to, it's been more than four decades since a comprehensive review of criminal justice was conducted. it was 1965 when president johnson established the commission on law enforcement and ad

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

united states northern border with canada is the longest open border in the world, spanning 12 states and over 4,000 miles. president obama recently released drug control strategy describes an increasing amount of drug trafficking related activity occurring near the canadian border, including on indian reservations in that area. according to a 2010 national drug threat assess many, the amount of drug commonly known as ecstasy being seized at the northern border has increased almost 600% between 2004 and 2009. the office of national drug control policy has developed a comprehensive strategy for addressing drugs coming across the southwest border. congress supported this effort with a directive contained in the 2006 re-authorization bill. the bill before us today extends that directive to our northern border to help bring focus to the efforts to curb illegal drug trafficking and related crimes on the international border between the united states and canada. as with the southern border strategy, the northern border strategy will detail the specific role and coordinate the efforts of law

narrator: over 300 million people live in the united states. and each person uses an average of 100 gallons of water every day. man: what it takes to actually make clean water is somewhat a mystery to most customers. woman: so how does water get from the river into your house, or here at school? woman: somebody has to bring that water to us, and somebody has to take it away when we're finished with it. man: the water infrastructure is vital for disease protection, fire protection, basic sanitation, economic development, and for our quality of life. man: you just can't visualize all the assets that are under our feet. we have about two million miles of pipe in this nation. if you're walking around in an urban area, you're probably stepping on a pipe. man: our grandparents paid for, and put in for the first time, these large distribution systems. woman: and in many cases, it's not been touched since. man: we're at a critical turning point. much of that infrastructure is wearing out. narrator: our water infrastructure is made up of complex, underg

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

he is a united states senator. there have not been more than 1,800 senators in the history of this country. and carte is our most recent one. he will have all of the powers of any other senator. he probably won't have the biggest, you know, home base at the beginning. he may have to walk up one floor to get to the first floor. but none of that makes any difference. that's why the word" senior junior" doesn't mean anything. it is what do you know? can you express yourself? are you genuine? are you tough in the rules of engagement? but fair. can you reach across the aisle? can you bring others with you? and most importantly what i started off with, how much do you know? that is how senators are judged. yes, there's a senator system which is -- i've grown to like much more. [laughter] >> but it is superficial, really. senator carte goodwin when he officially gets sworn into that name will have all the powers of any of the senior members of the senate. and that's very important that you understand that. that you never

united states. after years of watching companies build things overseas, it is good to attract companies here to america. in the short term, construction will create approximately 1600 jobs in arizona. what is more, or 7% of the components and products used in construction -- over 70% of the components and products used in construction will be made here in the united states. once completed, it will be the first large-scale solar plant to store energy generates for later use, even at night. it will generate enough clean and renewable energy to power 70,000 homes. the second company manufactures advanced solar panels, creating more than 2000 construction jobs and 1500 permanent jobs. the colorado plant is already under way. an indiana plant will be built in what is now and the chrysler factory. when fully operational, they will produce millions of state of the art solar panels each year. these are just two of the many clean energy investments in the recovery act. already, i have seen the payoff of thes

john, they were guilty of committing acts of war against the united states. it is time to call these actions what they are and take the steps to prevent. >> 30 seconds on afghanistan. >> according to him, we did not declare war on germany. by the way, in the field medamal we allow for certain techniques. in the largest prison camp in the world, 27,000 people, we were taken to a place where we met with a former high-ranking al qaeda figure. we asked how his -- how he is succeeded so well. he said the chaos, and the other was al qaeda. we recruited tens of thousands of young men because of abu ghraib. i know for a fact that you can get more information, better information for using the kind of techniques that we approved of. i know for a fact if you torture someone enough and put the men in the physical pain, they will tell you anything it wants to know. there is always the one in a million case. that is where the president takes responsibility. i know about this very, very well. >> here in arizona, there are as many as 1 million residents of our state who do n

there is no epidemic in europe there is no epidemic in the united states and in africa aids is mainly renaming poverty related diseases and as a clinician i find it just not helpful and what it all comes down to ask you so you are you disagreeing with u.n. aid you disagreeing with the world health organization both a very respectable organizations that do have the finger on the polls that say no it is an epidemic. well respectable they are about obviously they are and obviously they are driven by interests and we saw that just last year with this massive x. in asia for flu and now in reach respect it is it's become obvious that they were driven by pharmaceutical interests and the same i'm afraid to say is true for hiv it's a huge movement mainly driven by pharmaceutical interests your really basically saying people if they do i shouldn't worry maybe should we go for a test if they believe they put themselves at risk on all what you saying is what you say almost criminal in some ways well i'm sorry to contradict you i'm not believing i'm going back to the facts and the facts tell the p

gilston would please compare the minimum wage in china to the minimum wage in the united states. ourovernor recently said he was going to start paying minimum wage to state workers to help with the budget deficit and all of that. also, i read a book on c-span called the wal-mart affect that was reviewed or by a guess on your program some time ago. my husband ordered it because it was not available in the bookstore. host: we will leave it there and of our best to answer your questions. guest: as far as i know, there is no minimum wage in china. depending on the industry's beck -- the industry sector, they can be quite low. there has been a lot of agitation in factories were more advanced products are made to raise wages. but even in good factories there, they are a dollar, the $50 per hour versus $7 here. -- $1.50 per hour versus $7 a year. host: what about trade deficits with canada? guest: one of the trade agreements we have is that nafta, the north american free trade agreement. and again, depending on who you talk to, that has been very successful or terrible. part of the trade

the united states coast guard. we call on them whether it's for safety or national security. these are some of the most fantastic graduates, young men and women of this academy and everyone who wears the label of being part of the coast guard. they don't whine. they don't william perfect. they never come here asking for more -- they don't wimper. they never come here asking for more employee benefits, for rights. they get their mission assigned and they do their job. they are incredible. they are underpaid, overworked, but they are always ready when the nation needs them. i'm pleased again to join others and recognizing the leadership ofed that allen. we saw when we had the -- of thad allen. we saw when we had the spill in the gulf, who was the first responder at the federal level? the united states coast guard. i was dismayed when the obama administration proposed its budget earlier this year before this spill and recommended cutting 1,100 coast guard positions, cutting back ships, helicopters, airplanes, and othe

i analogize the united states in 1910, if you invested in the united states in 1910 you would have done very well. china in 2010 is somewhere comparable-- >> rose: to where we were in 1910? >> yes. while i think the chinese has a great economy and will grow and be a large economy we still have the biggest economy in the world now and probably will for quite some time. we have the large largest r & d expenditures of any place in the world by far. >> rose: but is that changing in an exponential way in the terms of the amount of money spent, percentage, on r & d? >> we have the largest amount. obviously, other countries are yous with the capital they now have spending a larger percentage than we are but for a long time we're going to be the most creative place in the world with r & d. >> rose: what makes us the most creative place in the world? we have more scientists and people who are creative. >> we have the finest university system in the world, bar none. our private universities are the envy of the world. we have the best rule of law, best constitution-- >> rose: best transparency. >>

will this be quite blunt can the united states be a fair broker in finding some kind of solution because it seems to have gone on forever. no i don't think you can the last time that america really complained about israel seriously was when eisenhower ordered the israelis along with the british and the french to get out of so is in one thousand fifty six ever since then the americans basically go along with israeli policy in fact if you listen to department of state spokesman and you listen to israeli spokesman and you mix it all up you can't tell who is which at the end of the day i don't believe in this business there was a chill and then we've mended fences i think this is for the press at the end of the day israel will do what it wants to do and when america objects it will remind the united states of where it stands which is it must back israel for electoral reasons particularly now you know you've got to realize that wonderful quote from netanyahu which is very good israeli source of mine tells me is that the accurate that when obama first objected to further jewish settlem

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 foreign based workforce that's making sure that. 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 used to do at a farm in oxnard a city just north of los angeles neighbors aren't convince the average american to step in their shoes not even for a day. to hire a. white person is too hard. i haven't seen any american here working here in the fields said you'll get it all came into this country illegally through the southern california desert he makes a dollar ninety for every box of strawberries he feels and now in an effort to emp

byrd, united states senator.t byrd always ke that charter so close to his heart because he loved his country. he will always keep his mem my so close to our hearts because we loved him. when the founders conjured this constitution, robert byrd so revered and treasured, when they imagined the's representatives who would fill the great positions they prescribed, i believe they had the senior senator from west virginia in mind. they really had to. the authors outlined oh only a few characteristics of a united states senator. his age, his citizenship, his residency. if they had only kept writing, i'm confident they would have described robert c. byrd in full. he was exactly what they intended, an eloquent, steadfast ward of the nation's founding principles, fiercely loyal to the state that chose him. forever faithful to his constituents, his country and this constitution. it is hard to believe america's longest serving member of congress was once a freshman senator, but he was. but in the summer of that first year, i

this race is about collecting the united states senator who is going to put kentucky first. putting kentucky first means that you understand that we have the fourth largest number of farms in any state in the union, and that is important to our local economy. i understand this issue on the family level. my dad grew up on a family farm. he moved to denver synkaryon the 1960's and put himself through law school at night by teaching history and coaching football. i am the person my family to go to college. -- the first in my family to go to college. the notion that hard work pays off and that you can better yourself in the commonwealth of kentucky is something that is ingrained in me. apps i have travelled the commonwealth -- as i have travelled the commonwealth over the last 16 months, something has really come home to me, and that is what this race is about. it is not about rand paul. is not about some national movement. it is that you, you the people of the commonwealth of kentucky. you are hurting right now. you're hurting right now. we have 10% unemployment. families are be

when israel was founded in 1948, the united states was ready to embrace its new partner. president truman famously extended additional recognition to the state of israel. america's commitment to israeli prosperity has extended over many decades and across democratic and republican administrations alike. our leaders have long understood that a robust security relationship with israel is good for us, good for israel, good for israeli security. president nixon took the first official trip to israel, beginning a long, bipartisan effort to work for peace and further bolster israel's security as a sovereign state. his effort was continued by president carter with the camp david accords, president h. w. bush at the madrid conference, president clinton's white river conference, and the previous administration's engagement at the annapolis conference. president obama has also made achieving peace in recognizing secure borders for israel a top administration priority. secretary clinton in her speech earlier this year explain to the imperative of pushing the peace process forward bec

what would the united states have taught if the russians had a base in mexico during the cold war. we're working it out and president karzai have met and our military leaders have met and we're working our differences out with india as well. there are outstanding disputes there. disputes on which we still we think we have a stance indians have not paid attention to but we'll work it out and our vision for our region is not one of perpetual conflict and don't want to prolong conflict in our part of the world. >> woodruff: how do the wikileaked documents affect the united states. >> those that deal with us on a daily basis know that we are doing things to built trust. our intelligence service and the u.s. intelligencintelligence services are working closely together now, much more than before. when our dictator was in power in pakistan a lot has eroded. it's a work in progress but i think pakistan and u.s. are closer today from the period from the period which the documents come from. >> woodruff: the ambassador to the united states, hassain haqqani. >> thank you. for more on what th

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. th

i did not grow up thinking i would be on the united states -- in the united states congress. i found myself in a few different spots where simply raising my hand helped and throwing my hat in the record i had no paid staff and i refused to go into debt. i was outspent by hundreds of thousands of dollars. i refuse to buy any people any free meals. we have too many in washington, d.c. i was running into 12-year incumbent. i said if you want different solutions, you have to come up with different people. if you want the status quo, do that. i thought he was wrong about a different -- i host of different issues including immigration. i was operated on policy. it had been big dollars equals big victory. we argued that policy and principle matters. combine that with old-fashioned hard work and you can achieve anything. we were very blessed and fortunate. along the way, those principles were based on the constitution. please, go back and read the constitution. his amazing how it is a small stock to an end it is inspired, but just read it. it is there. when i campaigned, i argued the
