walter: well, it's true. about 98 percent of usaid grants pay for activities and not results.lattering, according to the agency's own inspector general's office, which studied usaid awards for three years, 2017 to 2019. >> 43% of them failed to achieve about half of the intended results. but in spite of that, they still got paid in full almost every time and sometimes more. fred: he says one reason for these poor results is that implementer companies rarely work with the communities targeted for help or with local aid groups. >> one study found that, when working with a local partner, as opposed to an international aid contractor, you could find savings upwards of 32 percent alone. and that's a conservative estimate. fred: and one reason that doesn't happen is compliance with strict guidelines written by congress. here's idaho republican senator jim risch. >> corruption with u.s. dollars will not be tolerated, and i'm glad to see detailed information that gives me confidence that our money is being used appropriately. >> they went to the groups that can absolutely deliver on a

i cool, but it's becoming increasingly important for cities to store walter helping more and more water is flowing in the city office told me walter, them flood speakers label low and the sellers, the streets, and the tunnels are full. the come we have to find ways to store walter with green smart roofs and it's the actually madonica divide her up to fine like on this office building the 1st of its kind to our tanks under the roof that can store rain water, guarding the sewer is against flooding during heavy rainfall, the roof this ex, as a sponge doesn't clip it, others evolve here, the flu. i've gotten a device that communicates call to magically with a weather server and checks whether there is enough capacity for more rain. walter, i guide if not to open up what's your history and also a better thing to take, but it's not uncommon about the better through a piping system on the buildings exterior. in the future, the water will be used for the garden or to flush the toilets in the building. but the system is expensive and too heavy for many buildings. so for now, the roof tongues are

walters? ms. walters: yes. governor, the eyes of the country tonight remain on the hostages in iran, but the question of how we respond to acts of terrorism goes beyond this current crisis. there are other countries that have policies that determine how they will respond. israel, for example, considers hostages like soldiers and will not negotiate with terrorists. for the future, the country has the right to know, do you have a policy for dealing with terrorism wherever it might happen, and what have we learned from this experience in iran that might cause us to do things differently if this, or something similar, should happen again? gov. reagan: barbara, you've asked that question twice. i think you ought to have at least one answer to it. i have been accused lately of having a secret plan with regard to the hostages. now, this comes from an answer that i've made at least 50 times during this campaign to the press, when i am asked have you any ideas of what you would do if you were there? and i said, well, ye

for more, we turn now to our politics monday duo, amy walter of the cook political report with amy walterf npr. great to see you both. as you saw lisa reporting earlier, we have the certification of the election results passing without incident today. four years later, a dramatically different scene. when you look at recent polling from the economist, it shows that less than half of all americans, 49%, believe donald trump bears some or a lot of the responsibility for the january 6 attack including 83% democrats and 17% republicans. do you feel like mr. trump and republicans have rewritten -- recast that day and rewritten political history? >> in a lot of these questions the answers that people give is a reflection of their views on donald trump matter what the question is. i don't know if that is the case here, but it certainly could be. because views of january 6 have begun closely tracking with views of donald trump. he says it was a day of love. he says it wasn't a big deal. he has also said he is going to pardon some share of the people who stormed the capital that day and have pled

walter mondale both committed to and acted on. this is significant. and what was happening at the same time was the human movement and amnesty international was given the nobel prize in 1977 during the cartoonist oration. there was really an upsurge of a human rights movement. president carter and his administration injected movement with energy, with moral support, moral. the other thing that he did when he and pat darian and mrs. carter to latin america, you mentioned latin america. this was our hemisphere. yet he sent pat darian the assistant secretary for human rights, who was an amazing champion for. human rights. and i see some of her colleagues, roberta cohen and tex harris and others that are here with us today who brought that message to the dictatorships in latin america. in fact, you know, pat threatened military to argentina if the disappeared people, the thousands of disappeared people, did not reappear. and they did. they reappeared alive because of that threat of withholding, of military support. there's a professor in georgia, elena, w

sometimes a donor sends walter trucks to another street. so we must go there to get the water some other times the water is available, but because of the large number of people under crowding, we failed to get anything. we must walk a long distance in the early morning to get water if the truck goes to the other direction, then into that. the cost is, goes by the below $2.00 aquifer damaged infrastructure and destroyed water was, has less ballast simians here in dogwood city without no rules for drinking. okay. oh, so the station, the yes. even if it goes the, how old and 75 percent of what to wells and cars that have been damaged is really a tax have also destroyed more than 100000 lydia meters of water networks and gaza city. and this is the case in almost the entire strip. this has led to the scarcity of war to the reach only around 40 percent of the city for so many months. yeah. how many is including hillsbin wake up in the m c. l place to secure a few amounts of letters of water that we stay long payments without water. we haven't had

by vice president walter mondale before he died in 2021. jon karl, it really has been truly remarkable to hear the words of leaders who have passed, but who left words behind for their friend jimmy carter. >> one of the many, many remarkable things about jimmy carter is that he outlived many of those who wrote his obituary. when walter mondale wrote that first wrote that back in 2015, the world thought jimmy carter had only perhaps weeks to live after his diagnosis with melanoma that had spread to his brain. he wrote that, and now to hear it delivered nearly a decade later. and i have to tell you, david, i have watched and listened to speeches by gerald ford had the opportunity to do that. and i've gone back and watched some that i didn't see at the time. i think that may have been the best speech i've ever heard gerald ford deliver, of course, delivered by his son. but what a remarkable statement from the republican president, who was beaten by jimmy carter and became such a close, obviously close friend to him to describe that friendship

for ten year, i am joking around with walter.e college campuses, one guy said something, he's teaching a course. did you see that yesterday? the same guy that was celebrating october 7, is now teaching a course. we have ten year, walter, join me on the right a little bit. just move a little bit this way, can you do that? for your talk about with college campuses in the northeast? it has been very radicalizing. 10 years of the world's greatest system. [ indiscernible - multiple speakers ] >> these are communist and socialist. then they get ten year. for joe, come down and help teach my class. is a really good students. this country will be fine with the next generation, even if all of your complaints have some validity. >> kids are going to liberty university. my daughter went to penn state and it is a cesspool. for i am not here to defend the ivy league schools. they do a lot for this country as well. >>> walter, i want to thank you for being with us and for your perspective. for we have to live with some risk. we have to realize

one of my favorite is walter benjamin.and actually what was beginning work on this book i emailed jay and i said, i need to read walter benjamin. what should i read? and he sends me back pdfs of like the ford, dorsey top collected editions of walter benjamin, etc. which ones i can like can you guys tell people who he is? yes. so you explain that. oh, like biography of walter benjamin was born the book the whole biography. well, okay, i'll do a fast one. born in the late 19th century. so a generation earlier than most of the famous early 20th century marxist theorists sort of generally considered a heterodox marxist weirdo, was most famous in his own time as a literary, but also was very, very active in various communist movements. although he never joined the party. and of course he was a german --, communist bad combo to live in in the period and long story short, sadly and this is this this is mentioned in sarah's book died he his colleagues of theodor and max horkheimer had gotten him an exit visa a sorry an visa to the

her daughter, doris walters, shows us around the family's adobe home and the acequia, the irrigationditch. they played and bathed in and now believe was irradiated. i never thought i would get cancer, just like my great grandmother and my grandmother and all my aunts. it gives me chills. walters, who is now in recovery from breast cancer, says it was a distant cousin who first opened her eyes to a possible connection to nuclear tests 19 years ago. very few people would even listen to me. after surviving her own cancer, tina cordova began to see links to other illnesses in her community, stretching all the way back to trinity. i know of no people that died the day of the bomb, but it was the beginning of the end for lots of people. cordova began doing her own research, collecting some 18,000 grassroots health surveys over the last two decades. epidemiological research, she says the government never did. viewing the area as uninhabited, although she's found at least 14,000 people lived within 50 miles of the test site. they poisoned us and they walked away. and we've been dying ever si

unexpected storm and the lincoln area made residents feel like they were in the middle of winter. walter's been watching us. europe's weather has gone. freezing in the course. it is price me and it's probably not going to try c x that say that global booming is at least partly to blame the how does that actually work and how much that impacts can it really have? extreme weather is rushing lives and livelihoods a month range pulling in 24 hours, cost lots and lands lights, and sylvania and summer, 2023 leaving thousands homeless. dr. also damaged crops in southern europe, forcing the european commission to low a projected yield estimates. well, temperature has talked to the high forty's because of us putting continuously increasing, putting possibly fuel emissions into the most via we are now at a much, well, not one and as a result of this broadening. well, what happens is that it also affects the various processes that govern the climate . to buy that b, c, funding, coal, driving cost, cutting down trees. these human activities create carbon dioxide which goes into the must be effectively

the street during the tunnels are full because we have to find ways to store walter with green smart roofs and it's the actually my doc divide her up to find it like on this office building the 1st of its kind to our tanks under the roof. that can store rainwater, guarding the sewer is against flooding during heavy rainfall. the roof this ex, as a sponge, doesn't clip it, others evolve here at the flu. i've gotten a device to communicate automatically with a weather server and checks whether there is enough capacity for more rainwater guides. if not to open up, what's your history and also a bit of english take by them on the, on comment about the better through a piping system on the buildings exterior. and the future, the water will be used for the garden or to flush the toilets in the building. but the system is expensive and too heavy for many buildings. so for now, the roof tongues are still the exception. for the new box, it's just requiring to do anything with the roof. so if new buildings, but even just on existing buildings, there are around 400 square kilometers. it's flat

walters: thank you. you have addressed some of the major issues tonight, but the biggest issue in the mind of american voters is yourselves, your ability to lead this country. when many voters go into that booth just a week from today, they will be voting their gut instinct about you men. you have already given us your reasons why people should vote for you, now would you please tell us for this, your final question, why they should not vote for your opponent, why his presidency could be harmful to the nation and, having examined both your opponent's record and the man himself, tell us his greatest weakness. mr. carter: barbara, reluctant as i am to say anything critical about governor reagan, i will try to answer your question. [laughter] mr. carter: first of all, there is the historical perspective that i just described. this is a contest between a democrat in the mainstream of my party, as exemplified by the actions that i have taken in the oval office the last four years, as contrasted with governor

and, coming up next, we are going to hear from ted mondale, the son of walter mondale.ulogy that he did not live to liver himself but we will hear his words and the national cathedral as living presidents look on to this historic moment. >> my father wrote this in 2015 and clearly he edited it a couple times since then but here we go. today, we join in sadness to honor our dear friend president carter for his extraordinary years of principled and decent leadership and his courageous commitment to civil rights and human rights. i remember the emergence of jimmy carter on the national stage. in particular, his 1971 inaugural address. for the first time, a georgia governor called for a commitment to the traditions of martin luther king jr. and for the decency that his leadership stood for over his lifetime. i was surprised when then- candidate carter joined me to his running mate in 1976. he amaze me then as he has every year since. he, of course, was brilliant. he also had a great sense of humor. and while we had only four years in the white house, he achieved so much in

well, i got involved with walter mondale's committee. excuse me.nd it was phenomenal. >> in total, carter appointed 41 women and 57 people of color to the federal judiciary, something cox says changed the game for representation and opportunity for years to come. >> they laid the foundation and got him up there. >> this was something the late justice ruth bader ginsburg often commended, since carter appointed her to the u.s. court of appeals, which then positioned her to later join the u.s. supreme court. in a 2006 speech in montreal, ginsburg said, quote, once carter appointed women to the bench in numbers, there was no turning back. in the studio, monica madden, abc seven news. >> still to come on abc seven news. making the food you eat safer and healthier. the executive order just issued by governor gavin newsom and looking ahead to the top travel trends of 2025. what you need to know (discouraged) so expensive. i mean, i'm helping my mom out, i don't have that kinda cash. - ugh, i know. but you can get financial help now through covered califor

the other is his vice president walter mondale.t he actually didn't know for years that his father had written a eulogy until he was contacted by the carter center. they remained close throughout their lives, and so the sons of gerald ford and walter mondale will be delivering their fathers' eulogies here at the national cathedral today, which should be a very touching moment. >> incredibly touching moment. we are going to talk about that presidential odd couple of jimmy carter and gerald ford, who jimmy carter defeated, and then they became close friends, carter speaking at ford's state funeral as well. nancy cordes, thank you so much. i do want to note too at this time as we watch the motorcade make its way to the national cathedral and we look at some of the dignitaries who are arriving, to also talk about president carter, because he overcame brain and liver cancer in 2015. i think we all know he died at the age of 100. even my young son said he was born in 1924, mom. [ laughter ] remarkable to think about anyone who makes it t

ted mondale, reading on behalf of his late father walter mondale, honored a legacy that could now bencoming president. >> in many ways, he laid the foundation for future presidents to come to grips with climate change. some thought he was crazy to fight so hard to pass these laws. but he was dead right. laura: there was also bipartisan praise that often eluded carter when he occupied the oval office. including a eulogy from carter's predecessor, republican president gerald ford, delivered by his son. >> by fate of a brief season, jimmy carter and i were rivals. but, for the many wonderful years that followed, friendship bonded us as no two presidents since john adams and thomas jefferson. as for myself, jimmy, i'm looking forward to our reunion. we have much to catch up on. thank you, mr. president. welcome home, old friend. laura: after the service, joiney woodruff, who has cored jiy carterinceefore was elected president. amna: also presidential historian barbara perry, from the miller center at the university of virginia. geoff: and stuart eizenstat, who was domestic policy adviser

jimmy and i often talked about our dear friend walter mondale, who we all miss very much. together they formed a model partnership, collaboration and trust. both were men of character. and as we all know, jimmy carter also established a model post presidency by making a powerful difference as a private citizen in america. and i might add, as you all know around the world, through it all throughout it all he showed us how character and faith starts with ourselves and then knows to others. at our best we share the better parts of ourselves, joy, solidarity, love, commitment. not for reward. but in reverence to an incredible gift of life we've all been granted. to make every minute of our time here on earth count. that's the definition of a good life. a life jimmy carter lived during his 100 years. to young people, to anyone in search of meaning and purpose, study the power of jimmy carter's example. i miss him. but i take solace in knowing that he and his beloved rosalynn are reunited again. to the entire carter family, thank you and i mean this sincerely, for sharing them b

fred: walter kerr is with a group called unlock aid, formed in 2021 to draw attention to a system inative handful of private companies called implementing partners are awarded most contracts by usaid. >> one of the best things that government can do is to move away from measuring success in terms of outputs. how much money do we spend on a particular problem and moving toward an orientation of results. fred: a lot of people will be shocked to hear that that's not the case. >> well, it's true, about 98% of usaid grants pay for activities and not results. fred: and the results are not flattering. according to the agency's own inspector general's office, which studied usaid awards for three years, 2017 to 2019. >> 43% of them failed to achieve about half of the intended results. but in spite of that, they still got paid in full almost every time and sometimes more. fred: he says one reason for these poor results is that the companies rarely work with the communities targeted for help or with local aid groups. >> one study found that when working with a local partner, as opposed to an in

amy walter is away. welcome to you both.tinue covering these destructive wildfires out west, the state's governor and los angeles's mayor are fending off attacks from donald trump and his allies, namely elon musk. how is this unfolding and what is at stake if donald cuts off or withholds federal disaster relief? tamara: to be fair, they are also fending off criticism from residents of their own states, who are frustrated with the response and, you know, the reality is that these fires move so fast and so furious, it was like hundreds of simultaneous house fires they were trying to fight, so there's only so much that can or could be done in that moment. but, yeah, the politics broke out immediately. i mean, the fires were 0% contained when the politicization of the fires was well underway. the question is what does that mean for california? and, you know, it probably does not help california that there is a republican trifecta in washington and california is a blue state and where this happened in california is a blue part of

ted mondale will read a letter written by his father and the former vice president walter mondale today. >> dana: you will hear from james carter, one of the many grandsons of president carter and joshua carter as well and jason carter. so jason, joshua and james all grandchildren of president carter will have a chance to pay tribute to their late grandfather who they loved very much. >> bill: andrew young is also there today. i was watching him the other day in an interview and talking about his memories of jimmy carter not just as a president but also as a governor before he went to washington, d.c. and the years that he spent in his post presidency. remember, he left the presidency and he was 45 years young, which he had a long runway after that. went into hospice almost two years ago and had survived a long time on hospice, rather, under great care as well. and andrew young will deliver the homily today. his message will certainly be poignant. the choir is so stunning and sounds so beautiful and we'll hear the song "imagine" sung as a duet by garth brooks and tricia yearwood, quite

strom thurmond 100 years old on his deathbed from walter reed his wife said joe, i'm here with the doctors and he asked me to ask you whether you would do his eulogy and people change, i am not going to rewrite strom thurmond, he was a segregationist. but when he got elected the new york times had a big headline, because he decided separate but equal is not right, you would have to spend as much money on black schools as white schools. it he had more african-americans in his staff dan any senator, had an illegitimate child with a black woman, never stopped paying for her upbringing. there's a lot of strange people, a lot of different people but i'm serious, think about it, think about it. when you sit down, the idea that i got jesse helms to vote to fund the united nations, i'm serious, i went to his funeral, you know what he talked about? he said i made a big mistake, joe. he said i should have never said what i said about all those folks just got out of trees, they are monkeys, i was wrong about that. people can change but you've got to talk to them. things can change. we cannot go throu

corps, as well as a tribute from the sons of former president gerald ford and former vice president walter mondale, president joe biden, also giving our eulogy here today. it is widely known that the 2 men had become great friends over jimmy carter's lifetime. now this is an event that marks just start the tail end of about a week of memorial services for president jimmy carter. he had been lying and stage at the capital for the past days, or thousands of americans really lined up in very cold conditions in snow and wind and an ice in order to be able to pay their respects to this man. you know, he had a very long post presidential life, so he may have had a single term. but after that followed the some 44 years of public service. so not just here in america, but abroad and everyone you ask uh and really universally anyone i have talked to had said that they are saying farewell to a man that they remember as good, decent and dedicated to serve, to serving his fellow human being. and we know that the, the 5 former and current president, so i'm thinking of clinton bush, obama, trump invited,

rubinstein studio at the university of washington and in the west from the walter cronkite school of journalism at arizona state university. amna: with less than two weeks in office, the biden administration is announcing its final shipment of weapons for ukraine. the administration believes nearly all of this 500 million dollars worth of weapons will arrive before the inauguration of donald trump. ukraine envoy today said they will aim to negotiate an end to the war within trump's first 100 days in office. tell us more about what exactly the biden administration is sending? nick: the biden administration is announcing its 56th weapons package for ukraine. among these weapons were some of the longer-range weapons ukrainians used inside russia. you see ed hickey russian infrastructure as well as artillery shells. officials say this is the final money congress has appropriated for ukraine were drawn down u.s. stocks that can be replenished to the u.s. military. frankly, ukraine needs all the help it can get. just today in zaporizhzhia, russian missiles hit an apartment complex, and ind

era, informed policy in the cold war and the type of reporting you were doing. >> i loved barbara walters as soon as we were paired together at abc in the 1970s, i think it was at the son of sam, that was the first story that we did together and i left her her whole life, we had a wonderful friendship. i jumped out of her birthday cake for her 75th birthday, you know, castro was one of the greats, all-time greats, and i know a lot of people hated him as he came to symbolize you know communism and its grip on latin america, and you know, anti-americanism, and all the rest, defeating our friends at the bay of pigs and so forth, but he was like trump, and i don't mean politically, of course not. but in terms of larger than life, in terms of that kind of ability to project and control a room, and to make people listen where they might ordinarily not listen. so, i enjoyed that enormously, what he said in the interview was, he wanted some talks with the united states but he really didn't. he prospered personally and i don't mean financially, he prospered in terms of his image by his opposition

rubinstein studio in weta in washington and from our bureau at the walter cronkite school of journalismuniversity. ♪ [captioning performed by national captioning institute] [captions copyright national cable satellite corp. 2024] jeff: one of donald trump's most controversial cabinet picks will try to win over the senate next week, when confirmation hearings begin. for the national security nominees, their hearings come at an awkward moment, just as trump is threatening allies and friends from denenmark to panam, giving new meaning to the term "america first."

let's bring an oklahoma state superintendent ryan walters.r, great to have you on the show. the oklahoman writes the following, "on social media platform x, state school superintendent ryan walters is trying to connect teachers unions, group c long has railed against, to the recent terror attack in new orleans. all your critics are saying that you are simply trying to start a firestorm. >> our local newspaper continues to gaslight like the left-wing media always does on a terrorist attack. here's the reality, president trump is right about everything. he's right yet again on the issues facing the country. you have a radical left-wing teachers union that has pushed hatred for this country. you have joe biden, kamala harris, look at what we've seen on our college campuses. they have taught our young people to hate this country, they have called donald trump hitler, they have cheered on a ceo being assassinated, they cheered on assassination attempt against the president. if we do not turn this country around, we've got president trump back in t

with how lbj treated hue bert humphry and how jimmy carter dealt with and had a partnership with walter a different era and it's something that we saw carried out ahead with vice presidents under, you know, other presidents that followed jimmy carter. this was a man who really did an awful lot of good things as president that somehow got lost in part because of the caricature, the rabid bunny-chasing after him in the canoe, the unfortunate failure in the desert and trying to rescue the hostages in iran. the sweater he wore as he tried to talk about ending inflation and dealing with the energy crisis. and the fact is he had a level of disdain for normal politics that wasn't healthy given what it takes to be president but we'll look at his presidency down the road, i think, maybe not as favorably as his post presidency, which is remarkable and enduring, but in a much more favorable light. i would also add, ali, that the longevity of this man, i remember when he had a brain tumor and people thought he was not going to survive. >> yep. >> shortly after that, they did a big symposium on the
