gentlemen, nowhere in the world has violence been so deadly and destructive as in north africa and west asia. military intervention inning afghanistan, saddam hussein's imposed war against iran. occasion of kuwait, military intervenings against iraq, brutal repression of the palestinian people. assassination of political figures in iran and terrorist bombings in countries such as iraq, afghanistan, and lebanon are examples of violence in this region in the last three decades. what has been and continues to be practices against the innocent people of palestine is nothing less than structural violence. palestine is under occupation. the basic rights of the palestinians are tragically violated and they are deprived of the right of return and access to their home's birthplace and homeland, a concept can hardly describe the crimes and institutionalized aggression against the innocent palestinian people. the human tragedy in syria represent a painful example of catastrophic spread of violence and extremism in our region from the very crisis outset, regional and international actors helped to milit

drone program, listing of the west conflicts in west asia, and then there was absolutely that channellingf the hope message that we heard during 2008 in the lead up to the first presidential term of barack obama. >> obama. yes, and i think also he -- he wants to -- he did everything in his power to try to demonstrate that this is a new era as far as the iranians are concerned, and i think that that's the message that we should take away from this whole experience. granted there probably will be no meeting between the two presidents, between president obama and president rouhani for what the iranians said are complications, meaning they don't have the political buy in back in theron and would suffer politically if such a meeting were to occur, but he certainly is a powerful president. so i think that even though there probably is not going to be a huge symbolic gesture to come out of this un meeting, that things -- we're in a completely different place than we were may -- say in may of this year. >> maybe we won't get the photo ophandshake, but do you expect anything to come out of the mee

west. the rich markets of central and south asia. afghanistan is well-positioned to contribute to promoting trade and transport things between european and asian economic centers. as you all know, for the past decades, external interference, conflict, and terrorism destroyed afghanistan's transit and transportation infrastructure. and capabilities. today, those dark decades are behind us. we have taken great strides toward regaining the central position for trade and exchange within the larger region. we have rehabilitated our road and highway networks, constructed railway a connectio, constructed new airports, and expanded cross-border transportation and structures with the aim of facilitating transit and the flow of trade between regions. commercial aircraft now crisscross afghanistan's airspace, shortening travel times across the continent. we're moving moving ahead with plans to build a natural gas pipeline that will carry central asian gas to the markets of pakistan and india. afghanistan stands ready to help accelerate economic

the narrative is spreading all over the muslim world from west africa to southeast asia.nclude in our strategy in addition to the military, in addition to the law enforcement, in addition to the intelligence, we need to include countering the narrative of extremism. if groups like al-qaeda and its affiliate the continue to recruit, retain members, continue to find new blood, this war is going to go for generations. >> you think it should be tailored to the localities. what do we need to do? >> we need to deal with the problem in its own region. for example, the economy is a huge thing in africa. the resources, the economic disparities between regions, nigeria, for example. look at it, it is operating in northern nigeria, and there's historical and economic problems. if you look at the situation in syria, it's mostly sectarian, or in iraq, it's mostly sectarian. in yemen, it has the roots between the north and south of yemen. the regional issues like in syria, for example, we cannot allow them to happen and say it's not going to come and haunt us down the road. >> are offi

asia suffered its own banking crash. that same year, the philippines extended pensions and sickness cover to some in the informal sector. the majority were still left unprotected. and last year, when the west suffered its crash, the philippines introduced hardship payments for the very poorest families. the measures failed to satisfy campaigners. >> what they want to see is, all over asia, especially here in the philippines, is for our governments to adapt a social security for all. it means, as a basic and fundamental human right, every person has the right to social security. uh, security against injuries, against debt, against illnesses, against all kinds of adversities in life. >> but they have powerful opponents. many prominent business leaders belong to pressure group, minimal government thinkers. >> when crisis erupts in the international banking industry, the effects are felt in all corners of the world. 12 years ago, asia suffered its own banking meltdown. and here in san isidro, a poor rice growing area, people were plunged further into poverty. the local mayor is sonia lorenzo. >> so they were so poor, and they felt helpless. they felt hopeless, and they don't have any dream at

that narrative threat from west africa to southeast asia.they shifted from being chief operator to being chief motivator. >> if the organization has become less of an organization and more of a network, it's 12 years after 9/11. why, as the u.s. government or as the world collective of the west, have we not been able to find a counternarrative that is as compelling and the tapes people are finding on the internet? >> this is what we try to do with our report. the report was done through the international academy for security studies. we went through so many different regions and continents. we found out that people now realize that we need to counter the narrative on the internet using social media, work with our allies in providing other enty it is on the internet that can provide a counternarrative. >> you talked about al qaeda in the arabian peninsula, what's going on in syria. what about the home grown threat? how serious is that john? >> that is a direct product of what we were just talking about, which is there are 50 attacks targeting

not tremendous growth and the one that had change is northern europe, upward, asia, you're seeing a bump and you can see west coast mexico going down. this is reflected on these home ports and how they have operated where you see the biggest home ports is miami. each are staying between 300,000,000 passengers and this year you're going to see them reach almost $5 million because of the economy. you see the others down here. new york, seattle, los angeles, san diego. when you look at the markets that are affected here by san francisco, the alaska, and mexico and the world market, they're stable. it has gone down and that has reflected on each of the ports that reflected that san diego you can see a drop in business over the past -- since 2010. all due to the economy conditions. san francisco is going up and a lot has to do with the new redeployment and the industry discovering this is a metropolitan area where they can really build their business. so i think it's very, very good news for you all. the one thing that is still in the horizon is the cost of operation and the environmental control areas that are a

but now it's spread all the way from west africa to southeast asia.o do is look at the local conflict and don't think it is only local conflict, we have nothing to do with it, because something is going to happen down the road. a lot of people thought of bin laden as a local issue for the saudis and taliban for afghanistan. and then we had 9/11. the narrative, we have to focus on the narrative, not on the name. al-qaeda can operate in libya, but they operate under al-qaeda name in different place. we have to look at the narrative, we have to look at the ideology, and we have to try to target these groups at the local level. jenna: i have to ask you this final question, there is a clear choice that these groups have attacked overseas, in kenya, for example. why are they not making the decision to attack here? if it's the goal, it is jihad, and when is that coming? >> right. well, we have to give credit for the intelligence and the law enforcement community in the united states, and i believe they have been doing a great job in preventing that. the thre

west and the pacific to the east. these pacific trade winds also push the warm surface waters along with them. the warm waters collect in the western pacific near asiag the boundary between the warm surface layer and the cold ocean depths. back east, off the coast of south america the warm surface waters flowing toward the west are replaced by colder waters upwelling from the deep ocean. this cools the air above creating an even greater temperature variation, which in turn makes the trade winds blow even stronger. cane: in other words this temperature contrast between east and west, which was generated by the winds was also helping to generate the winds. a positive feedback between the ocean and the atmosphere. narrator: bjerknes also realized that the feedback could operate in reverse. roughly every four to seven years, the easterly winds slow and the warm water that was piling up in the western pacific sloshes back toward the east. this creates a warm current of water that moves from west to east. as the tropical-ocean temperature gradient disappears, the trade winds slow or even reverse, allowing warm water to accumulate off the coast of south am

asia, georgia's a big change. devoutly christian, it's been the fragile easternmost outpost of orthodox christianity for over 1,000 years. in many ways a kind of borderland between east and west along the old silk road. [gregorian chants] since proudly gaining independence from the former soviet union in 1991, georgia has been developing fast, and today, the capital, tbilisi, is an attractive mixture of both old and new. the latest addition to the cityscape, a brand new cable car, conveniently provides the best possible overview of the city. despite the modernization, georgia is not an especially wealthy country. there's no oil here. but happily it is rich in other ways. agriculture has been a mainstay of the local economy for thousands of years. the land in georgia is notably more fertile than some of the other silk road countries i've been to, and it's reflected in the market. i mean, look at all this stuff, piles of abundance. check out these cute little pears. they smell pretty good. can i have a couple of these? look, these are these churchkhela things i've heard about. can i take one? they are like the georgian energy bars. there's a string of walnuts here, and dipped i
