that is behind us korea our decision is very, very narrow, and i take that commitment very seriously to review what is before us in a very narrow manner, and i understand there is a bit of a debate here, but my understanding is that the language according to ceqa is whether the project will cause a substantial permanent increase in the ambient noise in the vicinity of the project. and as much as i share an understanding neighbor concerns, and i do not know if everyone has a copy of this, i have extra copies, but there was a test that was conducted when the property was close to capacity, and all of the doors were open, so not just what was required according to the planning commission, but all fire doors were opened. i do not feel i am in the position to overturn the planning department and inspectors who have been out two times now that a determined the sustained permanent noise. in addition, we have to keep in mind that the patio is one to close at 10:00 p.m.. the owners are going to install a noise dampening awning. and last weekend's test, again, with all of the doors open at capa

korea would show an island but certainly they did it. something to keep in mind talk about the second pillar of the asymmetric threat. most of us know north korea has missiles to present a significant threat and they continue to have the ballistic missile trying to build not texas but california and alaska hawaii. [laughter] my parents live here. concern for me as well. but the first time they tested was 2006. three stage missile going to the first page over the sea of japan and then as it went from first through second stage it blew up. everybody said they cannot build the three stage missile but three years later they tested it again. this time it went all the way through the first and second stage and as it went into the third stage it tumbled into the pacific ocean. but this shows not so much failure but advancement showing day advance get done this so ready to go. so we could hit alaska or hawaii o or worse. they also have said and extended range, as goods with ranges 35300 kilometers. what does that mean? north korea can hit every single inched of south korean land mass with the scud missile. it is something they have now

they want to do business with north korea but it shows north koreans are willing to go through all these steps, these elaborate steps the tactics and techniques to throw us off. and the final thing that i would say is hugely important when it comes to north korean proliferation is north korea needs to be relisted on the state department list of nation supporting terrorism, why? because north korea is a state that supports terrorism. so there we go. that's -- that's the proliferation threat. please allow me to talk about the north korean nuclear programs and the threat that they present. what do the north koreans want to do. let me please offer this assessment to you. their goal is to manipulate negotiations including six-party talks to obtain aid while agreeing in principal to dismantlement. how do i know that this is their modus operandi well, because we saw them run circles around the bush administration doing this between 2005 and 2009. and where did we get? nowhere. they also want to prevent inspection regimes from assessing, accessing hidden components of the programs but north korea will always in corporation at the point where vital program elemen

to the suspicion that components for missiles are smuggled between north korea and iran through a neighboring third country using their state owned airlines. it also mentions the airport by north korea to buy through a neighboring third country luxury goods cars and yachts which are banned under the sanctions. the phrase "a neighboring third country" is repeatedly used in the report. it was initially written as china. it is said that the phrase was changed after china expressed its displeasure. at aeeting on tuesday, the japanese government appealed for tightening the monetary regime without naming any country and announced measures to help other governments strengthen customs controls and improve their roles. it is not clear how effective these measures will be. >> it is not very easy obviously foa number of very obvious reasons. the fact is that these are small countries. >> reporter: japan wishes to put teeth into the sanctions of north korea by helping other governments strengthen their monetary regimes. japanese officials are concerned that if the sanctions become only nominal, they could lead to further nu

after all, the fastest growing economies in the world today, china, south korea, are using the governmentrch, to promote innovation, in industry after industry, they're establishing commanding leads because of government policy. so, i think we need both -- government support and a vibrant private sector to foster innovation. but my final thought about all this is that even if we do outinnovate the rest of the world, even if we maintain the cutting edge, there is still a big question. given the way technology works and globalization works these days, will innovation benefit the average american? will he or she have a better job as a consequence of innovation? the answer is, we can't be sure. take a look at apple. the model of innovative company. it employs about 50,000 people. then you've got foxconn, the company in china that makes most of apple's products. it employs over 1 million people. the small number of engineers, designers and executives at apple are thriving, but the jobs are going to hundreds of thousands of workers in china. unless we can solve this problem, innovation might pr

us with official information trading inconsistent and chaotic attempts to establish exactly what happened to those he dies and to those still missing extremely hard and later the police in ministry in korea they didn't give us this point where these people were sold a different kind of information who was detained where that person was and so it was a huge mess then you are going i think are now working on establishing just what has been happening recently in georgia the images of violence from the protest will stick in people's minds for a long while to come but this was a struggle that started long before that night's look set to continue for some time after sarah r.t. tbilisi. all right now are turning our attention to that of israel where israeli troops braced for more hot and so after a day of deadly clashes with pro palestinian protesters on the syrian border over twenty people were reportedly killed since sunday i went out and started to march towards the israeli controlled golan heights the protesters were marking the anniversary of the nine hundred sixty seven middle east war when it's ready security forces opened fire israel claims the syrian regime using it against instigating

and that's an issue before us because it's an issue also even more, in a more complex way with north koreaand it can't really be solved as an isolated problem in which the security concept developed for all of northeast asia, that other nations can join. and maybe under that system, north korea is simply denuclearized. >> host: human rights. we should not be all that concerned with what goes on internally within a country, that we should only be concerned with their external behavior. and i got into american foreign policy for quite a while but over the last two decades i would say the united states has concerned itself with what goes on inside of china. there's a lot of talk now, a lot of we got chinese are now retrenching, and that has been an escalation of the detention of dissidents, of those who are out there arguing very publicly for democratization, liberalization, journalists being detained, religious minorities, catholics and so on. what do you say to the chinese when you talk to them about their human rights record? >> guest: let me say a word about the rialto take, which is a te

cement much stronger links which certainly between east russia and be a pick a condom use in particular china japan and korea as you talk about the strengthening of these relationships between asia and the far east we know that the relationship between russia and china is very significant in regards of the global economy but do you think considering china's rapid growth and america's huge debt it's beijing already the world's a major economic player do you think. i think china's economy and what's happening it has become globally important but it's important to remember that china's economy is still only about one of the size of the united states economy even with very strong growth a very sustained period china can't provide the locomotive force that the u.s. provides all the new provides so its influence can be very positive there's also of marginal help it isn't a locomotive of the size of the u.s. or europe yet ok as you say so china's economy is one ninth the size of the united states but do you think that is growing russia china alliance could at some point. become a threat to the economic and politica

tons of money in after the cold war we said we're just not going to fund south korea we're just going to say if you don't need us i said we're just not going to defend south korea will save a lot of money in there what happen the north koreans have dated we want to preventing south korea defense spending went through the roof if we had maintained it out a good defense and a big to begin with maybe the north koreans were never attacked never we were never had to waste a kind of money so this notion that somehow which is kind of what larry said we came for is let's just let's have just enough defense and what we think will get the job done that's great if you have enemies that are always going to cooperate this is like this is like people that say i want insurance i want health insurance but i only want health insurance for the diseases that i'm going to go and look at big enemy that's going to attack us right now libya didn't attack us in our soil and we're appalled and let you know that's what people asked me on september tenth to the enemy that's going to tax us do you think that it's worth putting our nation i

jingoist i am certainly not but north korea such an crazy government and you don't have to be a neo con to see that so it should come as some surprise or. maybe not that the us taxpayer funded united nations has named north korea to chair a conference on any the drumroll here really disarmament that's right him dunghill a rabid chihuahua of a man with a penchant for looking at things leads the same north korea that often threatens to start world war three and has twice tested nuclear weapons not that the united states government has ever done that except for hiroshima and oh yeah and i was socking away but those were tests that we've conducted thousands of tests. so you think i'm not working for the u.s. government so i'm in a position to criticize that same north korea that fantasizes about conquering japan and defeating the evil capitalists if only we had a few more of those here so why are we funding the united nations to the tune of twenty five percent of their budget again and be nice if the productive members of western society were actually getting pissed off enough to get off their butts and protest but those pesky jobs that require actual products o

>> guest: well, on all issues except north korea, i think the chinese national interest is very parallel to ours. neither of us can be interested in the proliferation of nuclear weapons because if nuclear weapons spread to countries that cannot have the same technology safeguards, and they do not understand the nature of modern technology adequately, the danger of a catastrophic conflict or even just of an outburst of terrorism are overwhelming so i'm quite hopeful that with respect to this, we can get gradual chinese support. the major hesitation the chinese have is they are always reluctant to agree that outside forces can tell a country what to do internally, but i think within increasing globalization, china will come to that point on the complicated issue and that's north korea. on the one hand, it's not in the chinese interest for north korea to have nuclear weapons. on the other hand, the chinese believe it's also not in their national interests to have north korea collapse and then face the pros pelgt of a large -- prospect of a large country on its border that can gain the nuclear capability. i think

us do it. we can start our ratifying longstanding free-trade agreements with south korea, colombia, and panama. all of these agreements have been languishing for years, but with the 9.1% unemployment rate and a spiraling deficit, the president can no longer hold these agreements back. currently he is holding them taa can be addressed separately in the context of trade promotional 30 as at july has been in the past, since 1974. for the good of our economy and our country, he needs to send these free trade agreements to the united states senate for approval now so that u.s. workers and businesses can begin to realize their benefits. i recently had an opportunity to travel to south korea with senate minority leader mitch mcconnell and a group of senators to lead -- to meet with president lee yung, as a prominent business leaders about the free-trade agreement. president lee said he believes that korean lawmakers will approve the free-trade agreement, but they're waiting for america to lead the way. they want and expect us to lead the way because, to south korea and nations around the world, americ

less important facility there in washington claims the scheme aims to protect us from potential threats from iran or north korea but there has been strong opposition from russia which is concerned it is the target the czech republic has also seen massive protests activists who participated in the rallies says the system will only fuel international tension. the czech people don't want such a thing here in this country we feel that this will actually undermine the security of both the czech republic and europe as a continent and so we think that it's completely contradictory to play such and such a system here in europe this system without incorporating russia without talking to also other world super powers make china like india or the following ours that will be the biggest world economies in the in the following few years is really going to make a lot of tension on the global scale and so it we should be wise and just start thinking about building security mechanisms and structures that will include all the big superpowers not just. moscow has asked for a legal guarantees that the proposed missile defense shi
