Two of the attackers were killed. We will go to to tunis for the latest. Then debate heats up over the Trans Pacific partnership. Who will benefit from the tpp . American workers, consumers, taxpayers or the biggest multinational corporations in the world . Amy will Congress Give president Obama Fast Track Authority to negotiate the secret trade deal . We will speak with lori wallach of public citizen. Then to how the fbi created a terrorist. The really dangerous guys are not being trapped in a sting operation, because in a way theyre not dumb enough to go to the local mosque or the community and talk to an informant about how they want to commit an act of terrorism. The really dangerous guys are not being deceptive by the fbi. Amy we look at the case of sami osmakac. He is currently serving 40 years in jail for plotting a terror attack in tampa that was put together almost entirely by fbi agents. All that and more, coming up. Welcome to democracy now , democracynow. Org, the war and p
Wellness and health, there are many slices to the pie. Focusing on the Health Sector alone is not sufficient, one has to think about the economic sector and we talked about this, economy, education, the physical environment, climate. And also remembering social history and how that influences the way the people respond to current challenges. So the u. S. Proposed project under the Arctic Council was called reducing the incidence of suicide in indigenous groups, or rising sun. The context for this was remembering that as ive shown you in the first slides, theres an elevated risk of suicide in these remote rural arctic communities. We also are talking about communities with considerable Cultural Diversity and often very small populations. So the standard approaches that researchers tend to use to evaluate the efficacy and effectiveness of interventions is quite challenging. What might be a way to get around some of those things . There are also important assumptions and those are that ef
But perhaps even more important is that i think we have an obligation to do that. I dont think we can shirk our responsibilities have that kind of strength of economic and military and having the kind of history and representing the kind of values that we do is an obligation on our part to continue to strive to play a leadership role in world affairs. Can we do it alone . No. Absolutely not. Its we dont have that power commensurate to what we talked about. But we should not want to. The various aspects, there is no possible way you will be able to deal with them except in partnership with other countries. We are entering into an era of mutuality an era of interdependence and i think if he does to take this new era very seriously and crew responsibility. I am confident really that under the circumstances we face today and provided that we continue to keep perfecting our own society and work closely with her friends around the world that we can continue to play the kind of strong leaders
Thank you, madam chair. On want to get gavelled on. Well, you have 28 more seconds if you wish to continue. No. I will get some credit out of you. Oh, need your credit, thats true. Now were going to complete this first panel, which started a very long time ago, seems like yesterday. And were going to do it this way. Im going to give senator whitehouse take my two minutes. Senator vitter okay . Senate inhoff, senator sessions and then ill close. Everybody has two more minutes, okay . So lets start with senator whitehouse. Ill just take a little bit of my time to respond to senator sessions suggestions that one scientist says that Climate Change isnt really happening and that there really isnt an association with storms. And i just want to put that into context. There actually is a Peer Reviewed Scientific Consensus out there about this. It is massive. It is not unanimous. Sometimes is rarely unanimous. There are eccentrics. There are outliers. There are people who have nonmainstream opi
Women. There were many male soldiers who experienced Sexual Assault and Sexual Violence who have not come out at all because of the dynamic of well, you are a man, this doesnt happen to men. So the misogyny and the stereotypes in getting rid of these things and gender in grape is still gendering rape is still a dialogue that needs to happen. I have read articles about women who came out and said i was raped in my unit, and every single woman in that article experienced some type of blame and shame. This is not to say every woman in the military is going to get raped. Absolutely not. It is just saying that this culture has been placed in a hidden light, and it is unfair not mean, we would tolerate this in the civilian world. Why is it in the military covered up and protected . That is a dynamic i never understood, and it does not translate. For pioneers like you to sit there and say hey, i am going to talk about this. It is uncomfortable, and i totally understand, when youre just a norm
