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

he came to the united states in 1956. he came to the united states in 1956. he was born in cuba in 1899. more than 100 years ago. the thing about emigration is that it doesn't work out for everybody. we have this american dream. one of the people it didn't work out for was pedro victor garcia. he came to the united states with seven daughters and a wife and struggle. he could not make a living. in 1959, after fidel castro took over cuba, like a lot of humans, he thought that cuba was going to be a better place and that his options would actually possibly be better in cuba. then they were here in the united states. he returned. he went back to the land of his birth. after three years they are, after it became clear that cuba was moving towards being a communist state. he did something really risky. i will read you about what he did. bear with me for just one moment. i thought they have this mark. he bought an airplane ticket is what he did. at the airport, a guy who was an immigration officer stopped pedro victor garcia. and he told him that he did not for lon

i think that the united states in that you made a very good point at the start of your question there and that is i don't feel that the bush administration or the obama administration has been straight with the american public as to exactly why we are fighting in afghanistan what led to this war in afghanistan and that goes back to the one nine hundred eighty s. when or even in the one nine hundred seventy s. before the soviet union invaded in according to secretary defense former secretary of defense robert gates in his book from the shadows as well as president jimmy carter's national security adviser zbigniew brzezinski who said in an interview with nobel observatory a french magazine in one thousand nine hundred eight we drew this we wanted to draw the soviet union into afghanistan in the one nine hundred eighty s. in order to pay it back cord into them for what it did to us in vietnam so what happened was this is the same thing today on a different level it became a proxy war in which the united states used with pakistan its ally the mujahideen to fight against the soviet union a

hello and welcome to united states farm report. perhaps it's the olympics or politics or just fatigue but the drought seems to be fading from media popularity. i suspect since food prices didn't double overnight we all just moved on. even on our farms, despite crops continuing to go downhill, many of us have switched from worry over the next rain to simple damage control. combines started to role this week. public attention is fickle. unless we find worse yields than we now imagine as withered crops disappear so will the headlines i think. tine is here now with the news. >> thank you. with the clock ticking before the august recess -- the house packs a disaster relief bill. it voted to revive several program that expired last year. many main stream -- wanted the house to finish the new farm bill instead of approving the temporary measure while others have crop insurance livestock producers don't have that coverage and are reeling from sharp increases in feed prices. >>> a patent infringement case, monsanto walk away with a victory.

president has really caused quite a stir with those comments on monday saying that the united states would reconsider its opposition to military intervention in syria if the government of president bashar al assad employs chemical or biological weapons there and according to the u.s. president this would be a so-called a red line which would have bring the united states physically in terms of force into the conflict now in the in the syrian government does possess an extensive stockpile of chemical and biological weapons and hans threaten to use them is the country came under foreign attack of it's unclear whether this is mere saber rattling by both sides but of course it really complicates efforts to find a diplomatic solution to this ongoing escalating crisis something that moscow has really been pushing for from the start now the russian foreign minister sergey lavrov on monday also reiterated his opposition has his warning of four and that no unilateral solution is possible or could be effective in syria he said that an international collective agreement would be the preferred a

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

not to drive the price up because he said the united states government would disordered from its strategic silver stockpile to rig the silver price you can find that signing statement on the presidential papers internet site of the university of california at santa barbara since one thousand nine hundred eighty five the united states government has pledged to rig the silver market well and this is really interesting what you're saying because that's a twist that i didn't expect in terms of silver because what we've heard is there are allegations that private banks have been trying to manipulate the gold price or the silver price excuse me and how j.p. morgan is one that investors and all over the blogosphere people have alleged has involved has been involved in doing this and in fact according to this article this is the f.t.c. has been analyzing files and records from j.p. morgan and their investigation i do want to play what their head of global commodity is life masters said in response to because she did answer a question about it once saying yes there is a lot of speculation about thi

united states. .. on the market and everybody for decades this is finally it. well, the day before they are due, jerry called in a hawaiian and one of our board members who was a crew member on the ship picked up and he couldn't believe what he heard. how much is it to buy the ship? he wasn't sure this was real but it turned out he had an interest in the ship mainly because he was a naval officer, and his lawyer helped design portions of the ship, his father was an architect so it was purchased in february of 2011. and they are charged with redeveloping the chivas a stationary attraction. imagine a divine intervention like this would happen in the early 60's when penn station was about to get torn off. we look at that and they've torn down half the station and look at what is in pennsylvania's state in the place. this is an unbelievable opportunity. but, he is provided 20 months of funding after the purchase to maintain the ship and it doesn't include the developing plan, estate deal and the america

in the united states. while we make that massive investment many of the western european countries are making less. at the same time if you look at south korea and japan we have tens of thousands of troops stationed there. the united states is spending significant amount of money to maintain those troops there and while we receive some compensation for those -- from those countries in return that does impact the military expenditures that those countries have to make so is the one area that i study in the book where actions by the united states directly impact those of other countries. >> in a second mention how does the countries measure compare on gender equality and doesn't correlate with the other issues? >> he so for gender equality is a very complicated topic because there is not one to mention. when you talk about gender equality that areas such as the economic component. the workforce participation as well as the percentage of salary ratio. in those areas the united states does reasonably well. you

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 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 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 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 to

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

states this is entirely possible but that didn't prevent the united states in the late one nine hundred seventy s. from financing and supporting the mujahideen against the soviets allegations that some global powers may be stoking violence in a place like baluchistan for their geopolitical interests are quite disturbing and raises the question why the pipeline wars are a reality in washington i'm going to check out. around the world now this tuesday night a series of deadly attacks have hit afghanistan multiple suicide bombers have hit the town of the ranch it's in the southwest of the country with the death toll now being put thirty six over one hundred people were injured meantime a separate bomb blast in the northern province of. killed at least ten people including children there. ballance continues the french city of swearer more than one hundred youths from a deprived neighborhood clashed with authorities buildings and cars were set alight well police shot at sixteen officers were injured president francois hollande has vowed to get the situation under control over sending reinfor

states so there are more and more chinese companies coming to the united states and investments. according to chinese statistics, for the last 18 months, the chinese investment in the united states grew by 18-40% -- by 14%. it is up to $6 billion. the investment is still a small figure. it is growing very fast. today, our common interests have expanded and interdependence has been deepened. now, as the impact of the financial crisis still lingers, both china and the united states have committed to transforming their economic growth. their economic growth models by increasing input in some new areas like new energy, high- tech, high end manufacturing, i.t., bioscience, etc. these could translate into new corporation -- cooperation opportunities. the u.s. as you know is implementing its export initiatives and select u.s. programs while the chinese government is implementing its plan. one of the main contents of the plan is to expand tschida's domestic demand -- tschida's domestic demand. so for the next five years, -- china's domestic demand. we will import 10 trillion dollars of f

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

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 look 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 those with craig murray who is the film bush's ambassador to as bad as pakistan and a whistleblower himself he blew the whistle on government abuses. craig thanks very much for talking to us now if what you think julian assange case tells us about the treatment of whistleblowers well i think of course in play there's a long history of whistleblowers being smeared and charged with crimes under later today was 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 truth. with the charges very often sexual charges because we had destroyed for personal reputation the foreign office now insists that it didn't mean to say that it woul

but you come back to the united states and the united states will top off whatever the other country failed to take from you to where it is at 35% or, under obama, 43%-plus of your income. americans living overseas are taxed more heavily than other countries' citizens when they were overseas. that is particularly problematic when you're working in countries that have little or no income tax. hiring a german to work in saudi arabia is less expensive than hiring an american. reagan lowered marginal tax rates from a top rate of 70% to a rate of 28%. the economy boomed. the rest of the world looked at that and said, we want to do that. you saw the european countries come in with flat income-tax rates. not only does it think it difficult to hire an american, it is less expensive to hire somebody from another country to work in saudi arabia or brazil or around the globe, but american companies are at a disadvantage. i bring this up because the paul ryan plan is not only entitlement reform, welfare reform, plus tax reform. the outline that he has generated, the top rate of 25% corporate and

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

too is in a similar position united states often says it only kills the bad guys. in other figures that have been attacked by drones over the last few years but the united states also makes mistakes there have been any number of civilian casualties associated with these drone strikes so in some sense they're in a similar moral quandary dexter and the u.s. government as you said you know there's administration has expanded its drone program dramatically and the strikes in pakistan yemen and other places they end up killing many civilians we're talking about extra judicial killings and. the question of pops out. you know when when someone does something outside the law they're usually afraid of getting caught but in the case of the us who is the police to catch them there is no police is there well there isn't any police of course there are international laws and there have been a number of reports on implications of international law on the drone attacks and the un for instance report tour has condemned drone attacks as being illegal but i think the chief concern he
