and one in moscow they launched with the motto the more voices the better the voice of russia team in washington reports on international and u.s. news just like any other news radio station they say what makes them different is their efforts to bring up what's being left out by the us mainstream media when you consider american for us foreign policy has huge effects around the world i would say we are not hearing enough of people from people around the world the need for more voices in the media was up for discussion at this panel in washington titled gateway to understanding the great deal of soul searching going on in this country right now can we you know are we open to voices from outside i think absolutely yes many analysts say there is stick my guess the russian media something their voice of russia will have to fight through to become a credible source of information for the american audience and you have to work with perceptions which are still existing and i think even more it is important that you raise your voice and try to get people to think differently about russia in s

and a new voice on america's airwaves voice of russia radio launches offices in new york and washington with a gold result listeners with perspectives left out by mainstream media. but first nato is deliberately targeting the libyan leader colonel gadhafi that's according to media reports quoting the alliance a senior military official he says the u.n. resolution justifies the action because its head of the military gadaffi is an essential part of the command structure this comes as fresh air strikes and plumes of smoke over the libyan leader's compound and nearby worth repairing the world libyan rebels will get these one billion dollars in assistance money promised by donors including the us britain france as well as some arab states starting israel the notion of reports the only thing some libyans have received are injuries inflicted injuries rather inflicted by nato. has been within has. the doctors have performed any a miracle and the young girl is back home with her family she took her mother's pills to kill herself. if someone wants to kill me and i'm going to do it myself. but wh

i could write a section in her voice and not only be in his voice. those things don't come until you need to work them out. that stumped me for awhile and came to with when she and the other villagers who contract lepercy decide to kill themselves to not bring shame to the village. and she can't do it. the man servant who's story that steven slowly finds out rescues her. >> even now i feel the cold waves pushing and pulling against my legs as a stood knee deep in the ocean. there was a flock of birds flying over head. their voices leading us on. as the water lapped around me i saw a man the father of a school friend walk straight into the ocean he never turned back. one moment he was there and in the next he was swaulode by the sea. one woman took a knife and slashed her wrists. i remember how the bloodstreamed down her arms. she turned toward me with a strange smile handed me her knife. it felt so light. i looked down and saw it covered with the woman's blood. i wanted to scream and saw i lost my voice. don't be

and don't forget you have some powerful voices. we have the bags and stuff, take them home with you. >> thank you, maria. so far, and closing activity, we are going to go around the roundtable and we will stand for this. the question that we posed earlier was, if president obama were to walk to the store and you were to give him one policy recommendation to approved -- to improve the lives of use, what will it be? almost all of you have the whole time to marinate and think about this which side will go first we're going to stand on up. >> like a specific policy because in all of the policies that they are working through, think about and consider how it affects queer and transgendered folks. this have in mind to work with them. >> ellison just to make education more diverse, have more variety and can fit different people's needs. >> speaking on behalf of young people, of what help doing that. i don't have much to my name. i need as much help as i can speaking on behalf of young people. >> at more foundations, as i was saying earlie

and i voice of america again and the radio and t.v. marti i have been complete waste of millions and millions of u.s. taxpayer dollar. i mean absolutely everybody knows that voice of america is the department of state propaganda operation but the much more powerful for example is an outage like c.n.n. which broadcasts in spanish all throughout latin america and it's a reference really of news throughout this entire region and so again it's promoting a u.s. perspective u.s. opinion u.s. agenda and obviously as per the u.s. government so i mean you know the and now that they're extending more into internet and seeing that they're allocating more fines in danger now i think that the the b.g. or u.s. state department propaganda could be have a larger impact over cyberspace than it does over the airwaves in the television ways and certainly i mean over the past few years other countries have been catching up and doing much better designed broadcast and of their own state apparatus than what the b.b.c. has been doing i mean yeah i think that

we talked about the voice of the youth in the community and the government. decision makers make decisions that highly affect us, and we need to know about it. we need to be able to speak for ourselves, too, because this is 2011, and things are not as traditional as they used to be, and they need to be a change in how we can go forward and not backward because we want to go forward. i think i touched on pinnacle points. last but not least -- i touched on wellness? our wellness initiatives. students need to go somewhere where they can talk to somebody and get some counseling as opposed to being told, "since you are acting up today, you are going to go to the police station and get picked up." they should be able to go somewhere safe. that is our hope and opportunity and what we would like to see. thank you. [applause] >> i know mayor lee needs to go to another event, but i want to say thank you so much for being here. mayor lee: very informative, so please keep having that voice because i will listen, and i will act on it. thank you very much.

joining us from oklahoma, todd ned lton, of the group voice of the martyrs. we just heard this clip from the anglican cannon white says his people are happy. in your experience with persecuted christians, is that unusual? >> no. that is actually the norm. our founder, pastor richard wormbrand talked about finding joyful christians in prison and underground church. when he came to the west, he was startled by the lack of joy in the church in the west. >> how can we find believers whether it is middle east, north korea, parts of africa, what can we learn from those that suffer from their faith? >> one of the things i think we learn is how to value our faith. many of us here in the united states have never had to pay a price for following jesus christ. so we value it as something we have never had to pay anything for. when you go into a restricted or hostile nation where people are put in prison or beaten or lay down their lives to follow jesus christ, they play such a high value on it. i think that is one of the things we can learn from them, this is amazing li

they have a similar voice, just not a standard, conventional, academic voice, but certainly the voices one designed for bundling together a set of analytical arguments on top of the kind of narrative about those who are -- who are making them, i think. i will say about -- it's very interesting you mention. tony and i knew each other far long time. it was students together at cambridge in the '60s. we had lots of differences, political and other. but they were always kind of above board differences. we did have sort of quiet -- i mean fierce arguments but some differences. and -- but i think we admired each other. i certainly admired him. i thought the book called first war was a masterpiece since the war. if any of you can, i guess you have read the memory, have you? you haven't. wow, you've got to treat. the memory is sort of the collection of pieces that he wrote as he was dying. he died of the lou gherigs disease. one the most terrible ways he can die. just last year. because, you know, your brain never goes. that's the last thing to go. we see you observe your increasingly incapaci

i wanted to voice my support for jenny lam and mr. james tracey. we believe they exhibit the independence and ability to work with communities of interest. i also wanted to speak on a more personal note for jenny. i have known her since first coming to the bay area six years ago. i have seen her in action and believe that she preserve the ability to both be able to voice her opinion and take a step back in discussions, and i think that is invaluable with a task force that is likely to be very controversial and in a lot of ways require a lot of work and collaboration between the other colleagues. again, wanted to strongly voiced my support for her and mr. james tracey to be appointed. believe it will be independent voices on this force. thanks. supervisor kim: thank you. seeing no other public comment, public comment is now closed on this item. we have actually been in session for a little over two hours, and i was hoping you will forgive my colleagues if we took a five- minute break. if there are no objections, we will take a five-minute break. we

of corporate representatives more voices of working people we need fewer voices of elite journalism and more voices of citizen journalists and if that's liberal then i plead guilty because that means we're open to diversity of opinion conflicts of ideas and to a great plurality of the poor and the public well that's what i mean by that but. there are many economists for example talk with james k. galbraith two weeks ago on this program who was interviewed in your new book who are prince has a mystic about the economic future of this country because the fundamentals economic fundamentals haven't shifted back to where they were before the reagan revolution if you agree with that thesis to what extent do you think that the media has played a role in turning politics into sports and keeping the public on in front. of the fact that that politics has become a sport is because the a lot of the only lookers through the media like to be entertained and amuse they like the blood and gore as the romans did in the coliseum and no there's very little serious alternative economic information in t

have you been back with voice of america speaking and beyond that, how have you found the media? are they a good partner in getting the word out? has the media been helpful, and if not, could you maybe talk to us about how that would look if they were going to become a partner in this. >> voice of america -- they invited me, as a matter of fact, last april i was there, april 2 was autism awareness day. i was there, and they've been very helpful in passing the information around because the audiences in africa, and i get a lot of feedback from africa seeing me on voice of america. i've been back on voice of america, and i hope in the future they will keep inviting me, and we can have a close partnership. as far as where i've been on tv, they saw -- i'm going to use the word ignore rapt about the subject, but they don't know how to handle it. i think when you address these types of issues when it comes to health, it's always important in africa when you have the approval of the minister of health or somebody in that department so when you go on tv and you -- the journalist of who i
