[speaking foreign language] >> in addition to discussing the general situation in the world economy, we also spoke about the specific issue of security and how the g8 nations can assist people who are desperate in poverty, to make certain that they are not falling deeper into poverty and this will be a major issue of the summit.

the banking system in italy has not been under the same kind of pressures as the banking system in the united states and some of the other european countries. i think the general principle that we will have is improved oversight, better practices, and some coordination in information sharing between countries on certain topics said that we do not have global capital avoiding more stringent rules by going to countries with weaker rules. i think that is going to be something that all g-8 members will act very much appreciate. >> [speaking italian] [speaking italian] [speaking italian] >> [speaking italian] >> our minister of finance has been working on all of these issues. they are wanting more transparency and regulation along with accounting rules. president obama has also mentioned the need to prevent certain situations from happening again. we want to have the rules and regulations that can prevent situations like the ones that have recently occurred. >> thank you.

you had a major effort in italy and further fighting from there. you have a massive strategic bombing campaign in europe. then the normandy invasion. in the pacific at this very same time, you have fighting going on in new guinea, mcarthur's campaign in new guinea at that point still raging on. and you have the centerpiece of the allied effort in the pacific that year, the invasion of the mariannas was about to take place. so we are about ten days before the invasion of sigh pan. and is an effort not quite equal to the normandy invasion but pretty close because it's subsequently followed up by invasions of guam. these are huge campaigns and they certainly were all subconnected in one way just to draw on what we're talking about earlier was landing craft. having enough landing craft to go around was an issue, whether we would have enough for the pacific invasions versus the invasion of normandy, all these things had to be considered and yines hour was a major player. so, for instance, the normandy campaign was originally scheduled -- or the normandy

hisnit received an award for support provided the french expeditionary force in italy. after returning home joe took advantage of the g.i. bill to pursue a bachelor of science degree in chemical engineering from the university of alabama. he began working for the university army missile command in huntsville in the late 1950's. for 27 years joe worked for the army missile command's research, development and engineering division at red stone arsenal. he and his engineering team helped develop and perfect weapons systems critical to maintaining our military edge during the cold war. this included the lance, helfar and thaad missile propulsion systems. when joe and his colleagues were working on the missile which is carried primarily by the appatch khaoe attack helicopter -- apache attack helicopter there was a problem in bad weather. a missile of this propulsion system gives off smoke plume cannot be directed if the smoke hinders the guidance system. the engineering team on which joe worked developed a smokeless propellant which enhanced the missile's accuracy. joe and hi

i just returned from an economics conference in italy. one of the sessions was a mock trial in which the economists of the world were put on trial, accused of completely missing the warning signs of the current crisis, not predicting it, doing nothing to prevent it, and thus far, doing little to help enact smart reforms to end it. i had to give a talk on my book at the same time as the mock trial across town in italy, but i didn't want to miss it so i sent roberto, the chief prosecutor of the child, and himself a top economist, the following memo. it was entitled, witness for the prosecution, and it read as follows: roberto. i see you are speaking at noon today as the prosecutor asking whether economists are to blame for the current financial crisis. i wanted to attend but i'm speaking across town on my in the book. i wish you success in your prosecution, and although i am generally against the death penalty, i think i would make an exception in this

japan is, great britain, italy, turkey, france, you name it. here's a little sample of what's happening out there. this is an advertisement, "sweet secrets from japan," to learn about japan and its culinary arts and traditions, this is an advertisement saying come to japan. come and travel in the country of japan. advertisements from france. picasso, normandy landing, come and see france with the eiffel tower. belgium: travel to belgium where fun is always in fashion, they say. brussels, sophisticated simplicity, the capital of cool. one special reason to visit india in 2009. any time is a good time to visit the land of taj, but there's no time like now. so come to india. and the list goes on and on. ireland, emerald ireland. go where ireland takes you. a beautiful picture of ireland saying come to our country. finally, australia. arrived for an experience to remember. departed with an adventure we'll never forget. come to australia. i tell you all of this and describe the fact that the country of turkey advertises on a golf tournament on telev

we were taught that it was not only the united states, france and italy but the russians but they never give them credit for the job that they did because without them we could not are done anything because they were the ones that actually did the real fighting because they were the only ones that really could. guest: the soviet union probably did about 80% of the ground fighting in the european theatre in world war ii. they certainly did most of the fighting and dying. but the latest estimate had he lost about 25 million citizens in that war, not all in combat. some victims of the holocaust, some civilians killed by one side or the other. but no question the red army pinned down much of the german army on the eastern front, wore it down and helped guide the way for the western allies to invade in normandy. after the normandy invasion on june 6, later in june, the soviets by prior arrangement with the british and americans launched a major offensive on the eastern front putting more pressure on hilt her's army. -- hitler's army so no question the russians were a major contributor? why w

witness catalonia and invaded and conquered by the castilians and that is certainly true or in southern italy where the state seemed to be tax collectors and fill the rich industrialists from the shrine bowl of the milan and turin. and, of course, in barcelona anarchism is terribly -- terribly important. to understand the mentality and will tell you a quick story. it's a pretty good story, the true story of the 1890's and is about an anarchist who is dying. he married into a fairly religious family and he is dying and in one part of the room is his wife's family to wish he would make his peace with god and the other side is his family to heed to religion and hit them all. and so when somebody from his wife's family says, paul, wouldn't you like to call a lawyer? wouldn't you like to call a lawyer to make you're will come and then somebody else went to like to call a priest to hear you have been a good man with a few weak moments in your life. he finally said yes bring me a lawyer, yes a britney priest. joy on one side, consternation on the other. and the priest and a lawyer, it has a lawyer k

that is not what the folks at the imf meeting, but g8 meeting in italy were suggesting. but they did suggest it is time to begin to talk about it, which i think is a sign that politically this spending -- the growing deficits is not sustainable for much longer politically. host: what role does the u.k. have and all of this quotient -- had in all of this? house of are they from the rest of europe in terms of spending? guest: they actually severed a great deal in part, some people think, because they have become so dependent on financial services at the major industry. there is very little manufacturing left in the british economy. and financial-services was deeply dependent on the housing prices and sales, which have fallen dramatically in great britain. it was deeply dependent on transfer is in the financial system and activity in the financial system, which has dried up a great deal during the recession, in part because, we must remind ourselves, much of the financial crisis began because of the excess is. and the problem going forward for britain is that they've you ho

in italy. come to great britain. come to spain. see the wonders of spain. now why are -- why are countries doing that? well, it's interesting. the average international traveler spends about $4,500 on an overseas trip. when they go to a country, they spend money. and it creates jobs. and so countries are aware of that, and they're very active in trying to encourage travelers to come to their country. not so with our country so much since 9/11/2001. in fact it's interesting that in 2008 we had 633,000 fewer people come to this country from overseas than we had in 2000. let me say that again. in 2008, 633,000 fewer people from overseas came to visit our country than came in the year 2000. in fact, here's an example of what's happening around the world. visitors to the united states -- this is 2000-2008 -- a 3% decrease. visitors to other countries in international travel, a 40% increase. the fact is, we're losing ground and losing share of the international travelers, tourism dollars and the abil

come and see italy, great britain, ireland, india. let me show what you is happening with respect to our country. headlines like these. "the sydney morning harold," "coming to america isn't easy". "the guardian," "america, more hassle than it's worth." the sunday -- "the sunday times," "travel to america? no thanks." it's hard to get a visa. long waiting lines, they think. much of that has been c cleared away. in the construction of this legislation, we talked a lot about that. but we don't want this to be the message to the rest of the world. in fact, quite the opposite. what a large group of us in the united states congress want is we want our country to be eng gauged internationally to -- engaged internationally to say, come to america, to see the united states is to understand the wonder of this great country. come here, stay here, vacation here, and understand what america's about. i can't think of anything better in terms of our position in the world and our people think of this great country. -- country than to invite them and

>> i was born in ethiopia and went to italy to the united states. >> the reason i left africa is because i was in prison over a year and a half. they don't care if you are a woman or anything. they will beat you up until you tell them what you want to hear. >> you are ok that this information came out from a closed committee hearing, right? >> the important thing is whether you torture or don't torture, that's what makes the united states different. >> you raise a good point or issue. the president has talked about this saying that there is a bigger issue here, which is the fact that the united states does not or should noten gauge in interrogatory techniques that is pretty well widely agreed to constitute torture. he's made that very clear in a number of press conferences, trying to turn a page in our country's history. again, this issue comes back to the fact that republicans are very strongly trying to distinguish themselves from that line in saying that actually the larger issue is the safety of this country and the national security issues we face everyday. the ends do justify the m

as we prepare for the g-8 summit in italy and look ahead to pittsburgh, we agree on the need to avoid protectionism. let me say, to answer, that i have been impressed with your approach to and criminal some pierre i hope the u.s. will match economic today when our house votes on the critical energy bill that will promote a new generation of clean, renewable energy in our country. the chancellor and i discussed the situation in iraq. we speak with one voice. agree that the iranian people have a right to assemble. their bravery in the face of brutality is a testament to their enduring pursuit of justice. and violence perpetrated against them is an outrageous. despite the government's efforts to keep -- we see it and condemn it. the iranian people will be the ultimate judge of their government's action. the iranian government has other responsibilities. working with germany and our other european allies we will work from unleashing a nuclear arms race and the middle east. we want greater prosperity and security for the iranian people. we also talked about all parties need to redouble the

obviously, italy came here and said they are going to take three chinese. i think spain said that i think portugal has said that. i think there has been a lot of progress on this issue. some of it may not quite be getting out there to everybody. >> on health care, the president made it a point -- while he maintains it is still not his choice, would you say that he has an appreciation for the possibility that it is increasing? do you think it is totally up in there? >> the president said last night that it is the wrong way for us to go. he believes it is not the best way to do it. the president has outlined $950 billion in savings that he believes is a better way to go about it. part of the question was explaining what had been proposed in the campaign and what congress was talking about. but i think he is very clear about what he thinks is the best way to do it. >> [unintelligible] on any level, should we be looking for increased -- on the health-care debate? can you talk about -- >> there are a series of issues that the first lady

i have not heard them in the course of our talks, germany and italy, others who are involved in commercial relations among the nato alliance. as i recall, this may be an oversimplification, at another juncture of difficulty in negotiations before progress at the 6 party talks, there were measures taken for the banking systems of various countries in the world, in which apparently north korean assets because of the leadership of others, were obstructed from being a value to them. that seemed to have a greater effect at that point than many of the threats or pressures coming through diplomacy to the un or other nations. can you give us some insight, as you look at that particular method with regard to the current north korean situation or that of its leadership as to what kind of pressure is involved, these terminations of the banking system? >> that is a subject we continue to examine, a subject which is covered in part by the u. n. security council resolution which is pending adoption in new york. it is one which we are exchanging views with our partners and allies in the region. i am not

as we prepare for the summit in italy and look ahead to the g-20 summit in pittsburg, we agreed on the need to avoid protectionism and embrace collective action that creates a sustainable growth and shared prosperity. i reiterated america's commitment to stand with germany and the lead with confronting the energy and climate change crisis. i have been very impressed by germany's foresight and commitment that i saw in the many wind turbines. i hope the united states will match that commitment today when we vote on a critical energy bill that will promote a new generation of clean, renewable energy in our country. the chancellor and i have discussed the tragic situation in iraq. -- in iran. we want them to have their voices heard. it is a universal aspiration. their bravery in the face of brutality is a testament to their enduring pursuit of justice. the violence perpetrated against them as outrageous. despite the government oppose the efforts to a bear witness to that violence, we see it and we condemn it. the iranian people will be the ultimate judge of iran's actions. it must respect

there'll be the leaders meeting for that forum in italy. there'll be a leading -- and there will be a meeting later in july between china and the united states here. we will be carrying out with them very extensive continuing conversations going forward in order to find common ground. with that, i am happy to take questions. do i call these out? >> i appreciate you taking the time to do this. i am unclear as to what the u.s. posies this -- what the u.s. is specifically expecting. there is to be no expectation for a reduction in emission targets and mandates. did they agree on the 450 parts, and will they agree to at least not raise emissions? what are your specific expectations? >> let me try to clarify couple of things, because words matter and words can be confusing in this area. we are expecting china to reduce emissions vary considerably compared to where they would otherwise be. in other words, to undertake policies that would bring their emissions down a lot from where they would be called the generally in this game of business as usu

we have seen similar plants in china, japan, korea, brazil, great britain, spain, france, italy, austria, portugal, romania, and slovakia, mr. president. slovakia. but the united states has not yet acted on a program that has been effective around the world when we have some many small businesses right now whose futures are hanging in the balance. this is something supported by business and labor. and of course, the auto dealers. i am also pleased that it is now supported by the sierra club. we know that from environmental standpoint, there is more they can do. in terms of the environment, this is a win. cars and trucks sold under this will be more fuel efficient and cleaner than a car or truck it replaces. that is a fact. this bill will save 133 gallons of gasoline per vehicle per year. it will reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 1.4 5 million metric tons. models in 1998 or earlier will account for 25% of the cars driven, but 75% of the tailpipe emissions. if we can get vehicles that are worth $4,500 or less off the road, they can no longer pollutes, and people buy a vehicle that is 22 m

france, england, italy, yugoslavia -- not yugoslavia, again, i made the mistake, it's turkey and japan and india and so many other countries, kosovo. they're all advertising, all pushing for international tourism to come to their country because they know it creates jobs, and, more important, they understand when you go there, you leave those countries with good impression. boy, i think if ever there was a time when we need people to come to this country and leave with an understanding of the culture and the character of this great country and at the same time create jobs in this country by buying gas, buy hotel rooms, buying airplane seats and doin doing -- and going to the tourist attractions and understanding about america, it is now. so my hope is in the next day or so we might be able to find a way to bring those who voted against cloture to understand we've said, you know what? want to offer amendments? offer amendments. there is no obstruction. a colleague came to the floor and said, i'm voting against cloture because i was obstructed from offering my amendment and that was a co

-italy, live monday at 2:25 eastern on espn. >> it's a great job for a lot of reasons. one reason, you gets to talk baseball with guys like buster olney. he will be on "baseball tonight" late ir. there's a lot going on for a saturday in june, specifically with one of the biggest names in baseball out up to three months, jake peavy. what does that mean for the padres and their cy younger? >> unless he has a miracle recovery, it will kill the trademark the for them. the padres wanted to move his contract, but let's face it, we're 50 days away until the trade deadline. he will not get healthy before that trade deadline enough so that any team would be willing to take a risk on his contract at this point, would be willing to give up prospects. so the padres will have to hope that he pitches well enough at the end of the year so he can re-establish his trade value so they can deal him in the wintertime. this is in keeping with what you are hearing from g.m.s. they don't think it will be a robust trade period because teams are not willing to take on money. even if jake peavy

such as germany and italy and others who are involved in commercial relations among our nato at alliance. as i recall in this may be an oversimplification of a fierce, but at another juncture difficulty in negotiations may be before progress of the six party talks there were measures taken to the banking system's of various countries in the world in which apparently north korean assets deposits and the leadership of others were obstructed from being a value to them. and then seemed to have a greater effect at that point that many of the threats or pressures that are coming to diplomacy whether it be two did you end or other nations. can you give us some insight as you take a look at that particular not then and with regard to the current number three in financial situation or that of its leadership as to what kind of pressure is involved in these terminations in the banking system of the country. >> that is a subject that we continue to examine. is a subject which is covered in part and least in the u.s. security council resolution which is now pending adoption in york and is one with wh

the major -- of the -- a study of the richest industrial democracies, france, germany, japan, israel, italy, canada, and the united states. and they rated all of these countries according to several indices, life expectancy, faint mortality, the inoculation rates for the children. the united states ranked 12th. even though we spend twice as much as any other country on ert per capita, our outcomes were not as good. we were 12th out of 30. one area that we -- if you get to be 65 in this country, the chances are you're going to live a longer, healthier life than almost any other country in the world. why? because we have a health care system, medicare that provides health insurance for everybody over 65. there are polls and gaps in coverage in medicare, the premiums can be pretty hard for some to reach. the co-pay and deductible can be a problem. overall people know when they have medicare, they are pretty well darned taken care of and that is not the case for people under 65. i came it the floor tonight for a few more moments, mr. president, as i was listening to senator sanders talk so eloq

where he says he wants judges to empathize with certain groups but impolice italy not with others -- implicity not with others? what if you are like frank richie? this is not a partisan issue. it's not just conservatives or republicans who criticized judge sotomayor's handling of the richie case. self-described democrats and political independents have done so as well. president clinton's appointee to the second circuit in and judge sotomayor's colleague has criticized the handling of the case. he wrote a stinging dissent determining the handling of the case per functry and saying the way her panel handled the case did a disservice to the issues involved. "washington post" cullomist said something similar. last month before the president made his nomination he included his piece on the subject as follows. richie is mott just a legal case but a man who has been deprived of the pursuit of happiness on the account of his race. obama's supreme court nominee ought to be able to look at the new haven fireman in the eye and say whether he has been treated fairly or not. this is a litmus tes

>> of italy you are exposed to more convected weather. although, i would note that every airplane i ever flew was going to be the one that would clear all the weather. >> putts just you and have an argument that because on these charter flights they might be more -- deal with this worse weather. i'm just thinking it again goes to the training requirement. they might have to deal more often with more difficult situations if they are doing multiple flights that are at lower altitudes. >> that is absolutely true. i think there is another thing we have to take into consideration. this is where science consent. the focus of shooting of very tight estimate approach. you're going to shoot an unprecedented 200-foot minims or something like that there is a lot of focus in the cockpit. and if you're going to do that six or eight times in a duty -- in eight hour flying, that is considerably more fatiguing than just making two or three flights and flying three our legs. we need to address with science what is the right way to do this. it has been an

journalism is supposed to be in italy curious profession. i can tell you the number of people i work with that didn't want to be seen asking a stupid question or did not want to be seen asking a question or didn't want to ask a question where it was unclear they are, indeed, the answer ever tried to catch you. the idea of a journalist asking are walking into a room and saying i don't understand any of this, held may. there is a great story, homer have a great speech impediment and they did and let him be a reporter until his third is because they thought he is an idiot, he is a copy boy and finally they let him be a reporter in he was great. he was pulling back things as a mature reporter nobody else was getting, he won the first pulitzer, went up in the elevator with -- he went up the elevator at the empire still building when the plane hit the building and he won a spot news pulitzer because he was the guy they did not notice going up with the mayor and he went up to where the plane hit the building. but his great skill was to find in this

last wednesday forcing hillary clinton to cancel plans to attend a series of international meetings in italy and greece later this week. meanwhile, inside " the wall street -- the "the wall street journal" is a piece about independence warming -- warning for obama. the canaries in the coal mine are independent voters, telling the leader whether the air is safe or starting to fill up with toxic gases. in the peace he points out the shifting attitude among independent voters in fact is the most significant change to emerge from a new wall street journal/nbc inebriating poll. in that survey mr. obama's job rating slipped a notch to 56% from 61% in april. that is not much of the drop, and is in keeping with the pattern for a new president at this point in his turn. but the slide was much more pronounced among self- identified purely independent voters, that is, americans who expressed no loyalty to either party. among these people would tend to reside in the middle of the ideological spectrum, the president's job approval rating is 45%, falling from a high of 60% back in april. herman is on the

and italy spent $2,600. mr. chairman, i will tell you something. i think it is very easy to criticize other countries' problems. every country has a problem, no question about it. there is no perfect health care system on earth but i think it would be interesting to bring the leaders of other countries here to tell how in fact in virtually every instance they are providing universal comprehensive health care for a fraction of what we are spending. what are they doing that we are not doing. that is a lesson. so despite all the problems we have and despite all of the expense of poor value for what we are spending according to the who. the united states ranks 37 in terms of health systems performance and we are far behind many countries in terms of infant mortality, life expectancy and keeping people from buying when they should not be dying. as the health care debate heats up in washington and on this committee we as a nation seems to me have got to answer to fundamental questions, and there is i think this agreement on the first issue. and that is t
