united states. has the united states been able to command respect for its disposition in this case? >> i believe the united states has tried to dispose off, but again these are the hands that nobody wanted. these are air rid lands, vastly different from lands in the east where you have fertile ground, lots of rainfall and the ability to grow crops, for instance. i would say that the united states is upholding it's honor and duty by managing these lands according to federal laws and according to the principles of multiple use. >> professor, this isn't an isolated case, is it? depending on what's on the land or under the land, people have wanted to extract wealth from the west for well over a century, and pay as little as possible for the privilege, no? >> absolutely. and you see these sorts of arguments and struggles recurring and so once you had a strong push to heighten the authority on the land. a lot of people were inside the federal government, inside the federal agencies, so you didn't have conflict. as soon as obama came into office you saw renewing. there is historical continu

as committed, how engaged the united states been? tavis: you had a conversation with general john allen, former commander of armed forces in afghanistan. i will let you share what he told you in his conversation with you. give me some sense of what he had to say as a former nato commander. and then give me some sense of where you think this is headed in terms of our remaining in the country. conversation yesterday morning and he said the afghans did their part, now it's time for the u.s. to do its. we should be there because they have more than held up their share of the bargain, and now it's time for us to eliminate the one threat that he really saw, which is uncertainty. let's say we wouldn't want to do in the country, let's show our commitment to the country and make it clear that we aren't going anywhere in terms of international engagement. not in terms of tens of thousands of troops, but in terms of a small residual force that would be there to train, and also in terms of the wallet. but that's the opinion of one former u.s. co

united states. everything is fine. governments, like the peruvian government right now, they consider that these governments are not good allies of the united states. everything is wrong. everything is bad. i think that has been proved. >> so the united states government and the state department say we appreciate the people of ecuador's right to elect the political leadership that they want. we appreciate an effort regardless of political philosophy to eradicate politics -- eradicate poverty, to provide broader education, raise the level of health care, and be a good neighbor. and we realize, the united states might say, that the relationship between the united states and latin america has had significant reasons for the people to question the united states's interest in latin america. was it simply for their own gain? lots of americans have made the argument that our relationship with latin america has in several instances involved too to changet governments. i know, but stay with me. >> the record is also come invasion, coup d'État. >> but that is not true of the obama administration. at the same time, they might say to you, what are we to think because the people you are chavez, cuba,go are people who have

united states. >> in the united states, yes. >> how did you get into it? >> i didn't start wanting to write a book, i wanted to really read books on those in the united states. i'd been reading a lot about the maroons in, you know, in have may ca, in brazil, in cuba, suriname, and i was looking for information on maroons in the -- [inaudible] i was interested in who they were, what they were doing, where they lived, and really i couldn't find anything. >> you can watch this and other programs online at booktv.org. >> edison really was a plant scientist as well as interest in the other sciences, and the story is that he knew that it didn't freeze in fort myers. so a lot of the interests that he had here in this area were based on his love of plants. by the 1920s the united states was relying on foreign rubber, and we were headed into war. so at that point they decided the plant material and the process should be done in this country. edison, ford and firestone were traveling all over the world collecting plants and, in fact, had hundreds, thousands of people all over this country collecting plants and sending them back here to fort myers to his laboratory to find a so

been told to shelter in place. there are more than 40,000 military personnel on the fort hood base. the president of the united states has been briefed on this fluid situation and i can tell you right now literally this information just coming in to us at cnn, a hospital nearby say they are receiving patients. they don't have a number. this san active and ongoing situation. i want to get straight to our pentagon correspondent, barbara starr. what's the very latest can you tell us? >> reporter: what we're hearing is that there are, in fact, multiple injuries from this incident which began perhaps looking at the clock just over an hour ago when the first reports came in of an active shooter at fort hood. the army very efficient information. multiple injuries. at this point all indications are this situation is still an active shooter. we've been on the phone with various people. we know who were at fort hood. they are still hearing sirens. they are being told to shelter in place, to lock their doors, to stay away from windows. this servicing on fort hood from battle hardened combat veterans to families who live there,

. >> there has to my knowledge with with classified clearance never ever been a terrorist attack on the united states that's been foiled by use of this information, not even once. so there's no basis for it, it just isn't any use. one thing you hear is they are creating a hay stack and inserting a needle in it. >> after the leaks as they complained the house of representatives nearly massed a bill to end the fonda that collection program. >> the amendment is not adopted. >> it was defeated but several members of congress have introduced bills to a forum or to end thele pas all together. still, the ns action enjoyed support from some powerful lawmakers. >> i listened to this program being described as a surveillance program, it is not. there is no content collecting by the nsa. there are bits of data, location, telephone numbers, that can be queried when there is reasonable articulable sus spinning. i regret what is happening. ly do everything i can to pri vent this program from being canceled out. >> i don't have any questions, thank you. it is ironic the position that she occupied in the senate, whi

the worst of all possible in terms of foreign policy and putin looks at that and sees the united states has been weekend not only by the president's policies of by congress itself. they have a role here because there is great division on capitol hill in terms of the role in the united states in this new world disorder. are we going to be leading from the front, behind, disengage? you can see that playing out in the budget itself where we are cutting but others are increasing their budgets significantly and that all conveys a sense that the united states is pulling back from global affairs. whether the perception is correct or not is not really the issue. if the perception is there a can create a very dangerous dynamic. clicks it gives us to minister leverage. >> many of our allies are looking at us and saying they are not sure they can count on us. >> i think that's the case because of the look at what japan is now saying and doing, they are increasing the wrong budget for the first time, the defense budget. ofy are relaxing in terms allowing their run defense industry to contribute to the unite

united states? or don't care? >> no, i'm not really optimistic. i would like to improve the relationship with any country in the world, especially with the united states, it has been a very close country to ecuador, so it would be great if we can improve our relations. >> charlie: how long will you be president? >> till 2017. >> charlie: the new constitution was better than the old constitution because it accomplished what? >> a lot of things. the former constitution was a liberal constitution. even to the power groups, economic groups, financial groups, a lot of advantages. so when your constitution guarantees a -- so the new constitution guarantees a lot of rights for our people. >> charlie: there are many people today who argue that canada, the united states and latin america ought to have, you know, better trade, better economic relationships, new development, that that could make this a remarkably productive time for everything in this hemisphere. do you disagree with that? >> yes, because -- i know -- >> charlie: you disagree with that because of what? >> alexander hamilton in the states, all the united states traditionally opposed free market because he did

continue this rare joint interview with the mexican ambassador to the united states, and the canada ambassador to the united states. >> it's been0 years since the enact amount of nafta. it created a vast free trade zone and on this edition we are marking this anniversary >> with a closer look at the immaterial packet on our neighbors. we are joined with the ambassador to the u.s., and canada's ambassador to the u.s., gary. did nafta becomeless important, and that is the rise of china? did china end up being a blare in a way that we couldn't have imagined? when this trade deal was being worked out, and i know this had a big impact. >> originally the first two or three years of nafta, the manufacturing activity in mexico was really booming. and then an uninvited guest appeared into the room and that was with china. and a lot of. >>ing went away from the region, and now amazingly, our total costs of production in the region has gone down to a very competitive level. in 2001, mexico had 271% wage differential with china. today the less than 10%. in terms of opportunity costs we are very competitive. so we with are getting back many

just want to highlight a couple of things the president of the united states that's been said one this is a interpretation benefit for the community. so that's important for your community and secondly, i want to talk about the operators they're not just leasing space outs to tenants their skerpdz about the success of the businesses how do i know that they come out and ask for your services of other entities in the communities that helps to create those businesses. and lastly good community partners and that's really important because i think they understand the enter dependency in our community we have to work with each other. i see them at the community events scott at the bay area pop upmarket i encourage you all to come out but he's at the events it's important for stakeholders. i hope you support the project. thanks >> hello commissioners aim marty i'm representing the star shipyard trust for the art. we're here to speak in support of this project and we do represent close to 3 hundred artist that have is to see at the hunters point shipyard. i want to take the opportunity for kee

what's left for united states is now seeing no progress has been made in nine months. aybe publish its own peace agreements. say this is what's on the table. after months of negotiations maybe united states together with the united nations community, that's the best both sides can get. take it or leave it or negotiate on the basis of it and advantage salvage the two. if not, ask for recognition of the state. there's a possibility the situation now continues longer. >> but recognition the u.n. for example more recognition as a separate state. that would be blocked. what about the israeli settler activity that continues? why is that continuing? >> the country that blocks now is the united states. the rest of the international community agrees with that. if united states reaching the conclusion that it's to blame for impasse now, maybe they should change their mind. as for settlements, symbolically, this is one of the biggest obstacles for peace. symbolically, when you see palestinians see the continued expansion of settlement, you send the message this is not about peace.

region, one that holds great promise for the countries in the region as well as for the united states. there has been some outside estimates by experts that suggest that as much as $123.5 billion in additional exports annually from the united states could accrue from a successful conclusion of the tpp. so we'll continue to work towards that given its significance to all concerned. with respect to the trip and whether it ought to be viewed as a containment of china, i would say this trip has a very positive, affirmative agenda and that's how we are looking at it -- as an opportunity to solidify and modernize our alliances and partnerships, as an opportunity to advance our economic agenda, including tpp and our commercial interests, as an opportunity to affirm our commitment to the region and its security, and to show that the united states is and will remain for the long term a major security partner and a force for rule of law, stability and democratic development, and also, as i said, an opportunity to deepen our people-to-people ties and relationships, hence the young south asian leaders forum, whi

state. >> there is an agreement between the united nations signed in 1947 and the united states which enabled the united nations to have its headquarters in the united states. these agreements with been running since 1947. part of the agreements make it clear that summarizing the essence of it. the essence of it is that the united states cannot technically refuse entry into the united states territory of designated diplomats by member state of the united nations. that's the simple issue. the problem is as you're fully aware issues have arisen over the years about this issue because the united states would be entitled to say look, we are a sovereign nation. we are a sovereign country. if we suspect a particular person coming in of, say, being involved in acts of criminality, we are not willing to help them. but the problem is under the agreement between the united nations and the united states, there is no leeway as i see it as a number of commentators will see it, there is no leeway as to that. so the short answer is the agreement simply seem to allow iran to choose it's own ambassador. >> libya has detained hundreds of migrants trying to cross into europe over the past week alone. m

made clear to our counterparts -- excuse me -- their strength and commitment have been inspiration to us all. the united states has been on the forefront of your national support for ukraine and holding russia accountable for its destabilizing actions. that is why at the recently concluded imf spring meetings i made it clear to my counterparts, including the russian finance minister, that the united states will continue for theosts on russia violation for ukrainian sovereignty and its illegal and legitimate intervention in and occupation of crimea. -- weition, there may be are fully prepared to impose additional significant sanctions on russia as it continues to escalate the situation, including apparently through support to concerted campaigns of militants in eastern you can. during the meetings that took place there was broad and strong unity on increasing the sanctions and costs in response to escalating action from russia. in the face of provocations, ukraine's leaders have acted responsibly and with remarkable restraint to ensure economic and political stability. under the leadership of the prime minister

for 144 years the united states has been the world's biggest km economy. china is catching up fast. now a new way of measuring growth backed by the world bank suggests china could overtake the u.s. by the end of this year. we asked is this a real threat or simply some very clever number crunching? >>> hello. it is midday here in london. 7:00 a.m. in washington. 2:00 p.m. in baghdad where the first parliamentary elections are taking place since the u.s. pulled their troops out of the country three years ago. amid a backdrop of the worst violence since 2008, iraqis are going to the polls to decide whether to give prime minister nuri al maliki a third term in office. more than 150 people have been killed in the past week alone. there will be no voting in two cities in the sunni dominated anbar province in fallujah and ramadi where fighting between al qaeda gunmen and iraqi forces prevented polling stations from being set up. voting in the rest of the country is taking place under heavy security. baghdad is under lockdown with no cars allowed on the streets. in a moment we'll be going l

series that challenges the prevailing logic of world war ii , the united states so-called good war. generations of americans have been taught the united states reluctantly dropped atomic bombs at the end of world war ii to save the lives of hundreds of thousands of young men poised to die in an invasion of japan. but the story is really more complicated, more interesting, and much more disturbing. many americans have viewed world as the goodlgically war in which the united states and its allies triumphed over german nazis and italian fascism and japanese militarism. others, not so blessed. remember world war ii is the bloodiest war in human history. the time it was over, 60 to 65 million people lay dead, including an estimated 27 million soviets between 10 million and 20 million chinese, over 6 million germans, 3 million non-jewish ands, 2.5 million japanese, 1.5 million yugoslavs. italy,, britain, france, hungary, romania, and the united states each canada between a quarter million and a half million dead discounted between one quarter million and one half billion dead. most carnageth the in the history of the world

to go along, what is it willing to do, how far is the united states willing to go unilaterally, so it can have an impact? because the language has been very -- very strong, wolf, they're not going to arm rebels at this point, which is what mccain wants to do. so what's -- what's the next step for the united states? and this is important politically to joe biden. if he wants to be the next president of the united states, he's been involved in the russia reset, as was hillary clint be. he has to let the world know the obama administration did not miscalculate in this part of the world. >> how important is this trip for the vice president? >> it's important for him, for his political future. alongside kerry, the vice president is clearly the point man here. he's the one who was talking about reset, along with hillary. they've got to figure out a way to get the upper hand here or else they're very vulnerable to the charge that you misunderstood and misread vladimir put and you let him get the best of you. i mean, he cannot annex ukraine. >> when you take an international mission like this, the vice president, a lot of folks, political ty

so happy about the outreach the united states has been doing as of late, talk about michelle obama's goodwill tour of china just a month ago. all of those moves have made japan and south korea wonder, gee, you know, is the united states somehow taking them for granted. and so in many ways, the point of this trip is to show diplomatic love. and to show that the president and united states will play favorites in asia and that the favorites are japan and south korea. and there are going to be a few items this will come into play. one is, of course, the trade agreement that the united states wants to have essentially with every asian country not named china in order to have an economic check against china, called the tpp. whether real progress will be made or not, i'm skeptical of, because of the election year circumstance in the united states. and the second, of course, is what's going on in the ukraine. the japanese are watching this very closely as the russians attempt to redraw the borders in eastern europe. they have their own territorial dispute with chi
