you know it it's gone well for the united states and of the united states suffered minimal casualties nato suffered minimal casualties for the victims of the nato bombs i don't think it's going well at all right gentlemen i'm going to jump in we're going to go to a short break and after that short break in your discussion of the new world order state. goals started here. for going global that's not. only my right. to. choose your place to take your stuff and. to. make your statement. spread the word. coupon stream the moment. you know sometimes you see a story and it seems so you think you understand it and then you glimpse something else you hear or see some other part of it and realized everything you thought you knew you don't know i'm tom harvey welcome to the big picture. and. welcome back to crossfire i'm about to remind you we're talking about what is changing the world today. and it's. ok i would like to go back to you when asked and you wanted to remark on what george had to say about the relative success or failure of the libyan intervention . yeah i would say i'm going to a

states where's the evidence of the united states' involvement in syria i mean obviously the united states would love to see assad fall but we're not entirely happy about what the consequences of that might be and that is a continuing conversation that is taking place in our state department at the moment the idea that the united states knows what it wants to achieve in syria is ridiculous well heard you want to see in all fairness sure you want to hear in all fairness the secretary of state this has assad must go so the united states does have an interest in the fate of syria one way or another ok and what is the united that is it is a city in the middle that it wasn't really something every and i wonder if you please please every time the united states says somebody has to go you know what they do eventually john in boston you want to jump in. yes yes i want to go back through a couple things first of all i want to go back to something herb said he said that the idea of isolationism is nothing new in american politics well it's true i said recently it's new it hasn't made its appearance

it is always is the gateway of the united states to china. as the economic and trade cooperation between china and the united states and california deepens, now we believe that trade and investment keeps growing. china is the third largest export destination for california. many multinationals like hp, intel, cisco, and chevron are doing well in china. they're making money in china. at the same time, as the close relationship is going on, many chinese companies are working in san francisco in california. i would like to name a few. the tsl, ciuts, just to name a few. these are successful chinese companies working here. as the american companies in china, the chinese companies working in california in san francisco are also making contributions to job creation and the development of the economy in local areas. we're thinking these are very good signs. as the previous speakers mentioned, we paid a visit to the united states last february. governor brown proposed that we set up a working group for the u.s., a state, and china provinces to cooper

the united states must assume its investigation. the united states must know that it will not seek to prosecute. or else the court of. the united states must wage before the world that it will move as you journalists are shining shining a light on the secret crimes of the powerful. i'm very lucky to be joined now by one of these whistle players craig murray who is the film of bush's ambassador to as pakistan and a whistleblower himself he blew the whistle on his government abuses and simple. craig thanks very much for talking to us now if you think julian assange as this case tells us about the treatment of whistleblowers. i think of the post in play there's a long history of whistleblowers being smeared and charged with crimes under later today it was all blowing because obviously it's quite difficult for states to convict people of telling the truth about state's misdemeanors so what you do is through. with of a charter school you often sexual charges because that destroys for personal reputation the foreign office now insists tha

absolutely that's right not just saudi arabia and qatar but the united states the united kingdom and france are on one side in this war as russia and china are absolutely right to insist on resisting that effort and to propose a cease fire although wrong of course to be arming the assad regime as the as the powers on the other side are wrong to be arming the resistance just as the u.s. government was wrong several years ago to be sending our prisoners over to assad's regime to have him tortured them ok christian what do you think about the rebels ok are these jeffersonian democrats in your mind why are we supporting them why are western powers has been the why are they supporting them to the extent they are and arming them by the way what. for a lot of questions there the you know throughout arab spring this has been the big question who the rebels are and i think it's important to realize they're diverse just as they're diverse in egypt diverse in libya and now diverse here i mean there are some very unappealing elements among them including some al-qaeda although those numbers are

and the united states. let's hope the rule of law, the understanding of what the asylum convention meant in 1951, what asylum means today, will be adhered to by the british. >> michael ratner, the significance of baltimore garzÓn becoming one of the attorneys for julian assange, the well- known spanish judge and prosecutor who is consulting with the ecuadorian government. what about his presence as part of your team? >> part of our team would be an understatement balthazar garzÓn really is the head of the team. he has the ability of political ability to move in that america and around the world, but to be able to negotiate and politically with the next steps are for julian assange. but what is really interesting about baltasar garzÓn case is how similar would happen to him related to what is happening to julian assange. baltasar garzÓn lost his job as a judge in spain because he wanted to be a truth teller, open up the thousands that were disappeared in the spanish war in the 1930's. the conservative, t

states quite far north in the united states? >> yes, yes, we should be legalizing drugs, and taxing them. >> are you talking cocaine? >> that would be -- i'm talking heroin, marijuana, whatever the drugstore is that comes out of mexico. and because columbia, we've had success there, basically, columbia, the drug war lass been contained, now mexico is the alternative and they really are the hot spot when it comes to that. >> let me turn this to a head and go you, mort. mexico's issue number one. >> if he is sworn in as president of mexico, will inherit the brutal drug war that has claimed over 50,000 dead. mexican voter, their biggest issue is mexico's ongoing violence that saw an 11% increase in deaths this year alone. nieto's answer, quote-unquote, strategy adjustment. meaning instead of focusing solely on big cartel bosses, expand the current policy. mr. nieto's new plan still involves the military, but adding to it a 40,000 member force controlled by civilian authorities. aka, the dejon-marie. they will fight the violence wit

these people, i think they are disenchanted with the united states and believe that the united states has a different agenda from theirs. their agenda is to bring democracy to syria. they feel the united states agenda is to eliminate a regime which is too friendly to iran, l particularly at a time when israel and the u.s. are contemplating an attack on iran. it would be better for them to weaken syria or eliminate the regime that has been allied to iran before any attack took place. those in the peaceful opposition to not want to become pawns in a super power game. >> as video footage circulated of the execution of four alleged pro-regime fighters, defected syrian brigadier general said the free syrian army is not responsible for the massacre. >> i call on all sides. i do not believe the free army is committing these violations of law. probably it is the regime's .rmy, assad's army the free syrian army is abiding by international conventions, the geneva conventions. if there is a group that has done something wrong, i cannot lay responsibility on one faction of the free army for wrong

states so that's the one example in the book where the actions the united states takes really do impact the actions of other countries by the united states spending far more on military and being at least viewing itself as more of armed to protect many of these countries it ends up letting those other countries spend less and that's exactly what you see in the dynamics. in what areas does the us find itself in a leading position among other wealthy nations there are a few areas where we excel we have some of the best colleges in the world so that tertiary education our graduate schools are outstanding some of the strongest in the world our hospitals our technology overall is world class and overall those types of advantages are would draws the best talent in the world here students come here endure to learn and hopefully we can keep the opportunities for them not only to arrive here but for them to stay our technology that allows us to innovate and create some great companies that still exist and are entrepreneurship the government rules that allow us to create new companies and to pate

states secondly how will the united states know of some barrels of mustard gas for example of being moved around from one site to another it would be very difficult but it's fraught with danger nevertheless the u.s. and israel are discussing the possibility of striking syria eric those warnings you are giving exactly in chain with many of our other guests very notable guest like you we've had on the saving experts warning that western states are at this moment scouring for excuses to justify military action yet. well it appears to be so i hope not i'm still hoping that there will be a diplomatic solution the foreign minister lover of this woman urging the wording on but the chances are receding as political pressure grows in the united states and behind us let's remember the few. pushing very hard to do something. overthrowing the government and even support some fronts but moscow's position of course the latest words from moscow warning the us that it's allies against democracy by bombs as it's been put but end of the day could anyone stop american which after all moved into iraq m

welcome to the united states! >> [applause] >> we are so pleased to have you all finally back here, and i want to thank the leaders of the many countries who have joined us, i want to acknowledge my colleagues from the administration, of the congress, who have contributed so much to the fight against aids. but mostly, i want to salute all of the people who are here today who do the hard work that has given us the chance to stand here in 2012 and actually imagine a time when we will no longer be afflicted by this terrible epidemic and the great cost and suffering it has imposed for far too long. >> [applause] >> on behalf all of americans, we thank you. but i want to take a step back and think how far we have come since the last time this conference was held in the united states. it was in 1990, in san francisco, dr. eric guzbee, who's now our global aids ambassador, ran a triage center from for all the hiv positive people who became sick during the conference. they set up i.v. drug drips to rehydrate patients, the

where does the united states excel. you hurt a lot of negatives but there are lots of positives as well. we have leading colleges and universities. we draw the top students of the world to come here. they come for universities and they come for our graduate schools. they come because of the opportunities for technology. they are fantastic here. they come for the opportunities for entrepreneurship. we have some of the lowest barriers to creating a business of any wealthy country and so what we need to do is we need to use those competitive advantages, drop of top talent in and give them an environment that encourages them to stay. also build a home here dad is great for everybody. so we take those competitive advantages and we talk about health there's a reason why people who are world leaders come to the united states are that risky surgery because they trust us as having those this great hospitals. another example of this having the best and bringing in the new. >> and a final question as we close out. would you be wil

states so that's the one example in the book where the actions the united states takes really do impact the actions of other countries by the indicted states spending far more on military and being at least viewing itself as more of armed to protect many of these countries it ends up letting those other countries spend less and that's exactly what you see in the dynamics. in what areas does the u.s. find itself in a leading position among other wealthy nations there are a few areas where we excel we have some of the best colleges in the world so that tertiary education are graduate schools are outstanding some of the strongest in the world our hospitals our technology overall is world class and overall those types of advantages i would draw as the best talent in the world here students come here in order to learn and hopefully we can keep the opportunities for them not only to arrive here but for them to stay our technology that allows us to innovate and create some great companies that still exist and are entrepreneurship the government rules that allow us to create new companies and t

states look how great we are it's we're demonstrating our influence the united states has influence by giving forum for debate by empowering people in developing regions we can look to this now in the so-called notion twenty first century statecraft some of you may be familiar with the technology advisor alec ross who talks about how the state department is now connecting technology developers with civil society actors around the world in order to solve global problems this doesn't necessarily have a direct impact on the image of the united states but it does i think impact the environment that the united states wants to and needs to act in other aspects of its foreign policy and i think this represents a change in the purpose of foreign policy really and how we should understand soft power jonathan what do you think about soft power in the twenty first century in light of what would create just said there i mean it was interesting this all happened under george w. bush i mean i can't imagine how any other countries for foreign policy and image could be as disastrous is so was the b

united states navy. we talked about some legal changes for a more expansive definition of what the self- defense force can do. but what i have not heard as much -- i understand for historical reasons, it is a self-defense force. but why not a unified command? why not take the brakes off of the fourth completely and let them be a full on military? what are the concerns that we might have in doing that, given our current considerations? >> we make it clear in our report as we have in the past that first of all, a decision to remove is a japanese decision. not a united states decision. the article 9 has been described as an impediment. i cannot think one can argue that fact. we also have an interesting footnote to a dead duck our report. the foot of reforms -- refers to the 2006 commission which was put together to study the question of article 9 collective self-defense. they came to the conclusion that the prime minister could do away with a prohibition of self- defense. united states would be fine with th

united states. what makes it so special compared to other passenger ships like queen mary where some of the other great europeans. first of all, she had the greatest power to root weight ratio of any commercial vessel in history and was only outclassed in that regard by a few naval vessels. she had a steel whole, a very well may steal all made of steel right here in pennsylvania. and the superstructure was not steal aluminum, the largest use aluminum up to that time. everything about the promise not, the decking of top was aluminum. so that allowed the ships to a gain a tremendous amount of weight. the engines were basically high-temperature, high-pressure turbines which were later used from the forestall class aircraft carrier. she was an incredibly powerful vessel built for speed. in many ways, the way i like to summer up is she combined the speed and maneuverability of a destroyer with the luxury and space of an ocean liner, something that had never been done before. >> the prestige. the fact tha

to take north korean defect pursuant to settle in the united states. the administration didn't try to to thorn publicly. look at us, were doing this big thing. but it was a big and important step that sort of set an example to other come up with a marker in the crowns fade the united states is not just talking about human rights improvements in north korea. it's trying to do something. the second thing is you mentioned was he brought attention to the issue by bringing in defectors, people who spoke used for, story he's known from the intimate details he's known very well about all of these folks and talk to them about the situation and then gave press statements saying he met with these people then want to see the human rights situation improving north korea. again, giving names and faces to this problem helps to give it a broader reference. so when the boat i go through some of the experiences of monday's defectors came into the oval office, walking them into the oval office them much in them responded president bush respond and it was really a truly

so despite the top 1% on the united states on the s.a.t. and doing very well academically in a lot of situations, i was told that i should not and would not go to college. so i joined the military because i thought it was the only opportunity to better myself. i joined the navy hospital corps and then went through the additional training to get the nac 84 or four, which is field medical combat specialists. and at the time, the first gulf war was gearing up and i trained to be with the marines and serve just sort of field trauma coming in now, take care of the source of injuries. and soon i was shipped south to saudi arabia in the first gulf war where we took over an abandoned hospital in sort of prepared for a lot of injuries that fortunately did not end up happening. we still did have injuries, but we probably treated as many prisoners of war and heat exhaustion type injuries as we did people injured in actual combat situations. during that time, as i say, i was discovering a lot about myself. i met my first stab five and 76 members who wo

states as we know it and the united states is republicans and vision which is a corporate feudal state where the middle class disappears going standing between the two is this election coming up in november republicans will likely hold the house the white house is a tossup right now and all republicans need in the senate is to pick up just three seats that's just three seats and nothing will stand in their way anymore the financial times asked to paul ryan spokesman if this was the goal if this was what seemed planned in the inner circles of the party to use reconciliation and sneak all this stuff through the senate and the spokesman said i'm not going to be able to ask the congressman about that today so basically no comment you know we may have plans to do everything in a sneaky way and run it through congress. in a way that can't be filibustered but more i'm going to talk about it like getting good coup in any oligarchy you don't want to advertise what you're going to do. but this is what's happening folks and we all should take notice tell everybody we know about it and get active

and we have been dubbed the center for clean technology in the united states. our goal of reaching the zero waste in 20/20 -- 2020 is a real goal. . companies are popping up in our city. we recently signed a memorandum of understanding in beijing with the national energy conservation center where our leader of our economic development represented our city. in agreeing to sustain and share the best practices as it relates to energy efficiency and sustainability and of course, which my good friend and our u.s. ambassador, gary locke, had washed over. not to mention that we're the home to the california institute of regenerative madison -- medicine. mission bay is a destination for those who want to make history in by a life sciences and biotech discoveries. -- vio lifbio life scientists ad biotech discoveries. u2 -- for making that a cause for future generations and we will discover in that corridor those live science drugs that will help us end these dreadful diseases for generations to come. thank you, lieutenant governor.

states does exactly that the united states which has more incarcerated people than the next three countries on the planet and that's only in absolute terms in terms of relative terms more than any other country on the planet the united states has all these people in jail and it's going to lecture other countries about how their legal process should work i just think it that has no credibility around the world and i think it's shameful. that's a good to have you with us here on our team today coming up in just a few minutes for you. may be nearing the waters of asia pacific washington's growing presence in the region tries the patience of beijing. also as muslims around the world mark the end of the holy month of ramadan we look at how celebrations are going on here in russia. a prominent human rights activist has been jailed for three years and bahrain job was found guilty of inciting antigovernment protests through his speeches and online posts for eighteen months protesters in the gulf state have been calling for democratic reform and an end to what they claim is religious discrimination

states because of the economic opportunities that do lead and the more freedom the united states is the last beacon of liberty on the and the earth and they do and people come here for those reasons is the united states the last beacon of liberty on the earth connor. well with the largest prison population in the world i'd say that's a pretty good indicator of the united states not being a beacon of freedom so no i disagree and i totally disagree with the war on drugs it's an absolutely failed policy and we should release all nonviolent drug offenders so let's let's say that if you're if you disagree with the war on drugs you're ron paul supporter what ron paul is basically is his policy and that is to just kick it all down the state but most prisoners in this country who are in prison for drug related crimes they're not in federal prisons or in state prisons and ron paul doesn't want to touch that well i do not mess up don't necessarily have to of course everything that ron paul supporters i like a little noam chomsky but that doesn't mean i agree with that is there is is there a h

it i think that certainly the monitoring efforts are lagging behind here in the united states where you know the cesium one thirty seven has been evidenced in fallout it all throughout the northern hemisphere so iceland as well as new york so it's not that it's not there but we've not seen any such evidence as the lab tests that are coming out of japan right now are indicating so japan is the real horror site that's ground zero right now but as we know from ground zero this fallout can travel and in fact kevin in this case the you know with with the chair noble it blew into the air with this stuff is being dumped into the ocean what does that mean. well you know just last month the news broke that radioactive bluefin tuna had actually been caught off the california coast last august of two thousand and eleven the news didn't hit until last month so there's also a lag in the truth coming how you know in scientific studies but that was because those bluefin tuna. just stated and grown on the coast of fukushima and then migrated across the ocean and they swim pretty fast and they swim
