>> by herself. >> and at some point, what, the killer comes up behind her? >> well, the killer pulled up in the burgundy suv, behind her vehicle. >> so, blocking her? >> blocking her, so she can't move her car from the parking spot. the killer gets out of the back, passenger seat, and approaches her from behind. >> how long did the attack take, start to finish? >> from start to finish, i would say anywhere from one to three minutes. >> reporter: police found no eyewitnesses to the actual stabbing, but there were people close by. >> there was an individual in the building across the street from where she was killed. that individual observed her grab theiv railing. and then, observed an arm come around and bring her back into the parking structure. and at that time, he didn't see her any longer. >> that was the killer?

>> in the same building. >> he couldn'tth have gotten aw from them long enough to get down to the parking garage and kill his wife? >> no. and also, after she was murdered, there was>> video tha put him in the courtyard, so it was impossible for him to be at two implaces, at one time. >> reporter: that security video shows jim trying v to make a ce phone call, at exactly the moment you see people reacting to pam's screams. not only that, but, a tall man, wearing a black, hooded sweatshirt, clearly, was not a description of jim. a woman, murdered. a bitter divorce. but certainly, the husband wasn't the killer. so, who was?

>> he was funny. i just liked being around him. >> reporter: funny, but not nearly as social and outgoing as pam. >> jim was a gentle soul. very quiet kind of soul. very private, back then. she saw jim as someone who would provide for the family, had a good, honest job doing electrical work. >> reporter: when they learned pam was pregnant, they decided to make it official. jim and pam were married in vegas, in 1999. now, they were the parents of two girls. young desiree, and even younger jeanette. with more mouths to feed, the couple began to experience some rough patches, financially. jim, often, worked as an electrical contractor for the government. a job, that would take him on the road for weeks at a time. then, there were times when the work would run out, and he would have to scramble to find more. >> it was a struggle. they argued. pam felt abandoned, a lot. >> reporter: at one point, pam went on public assistance. it was something she'd promised herself would never happen. but now, pam had to go down that path. it's possible, she blamed jim for that reversal of fortune. >> it was a point where they would argue, and she wasn't sure she wanted to still be there. she would call me, and ask me for help and ask me to send money. i'd sent her money twice or three times to start divorce proceedings. and then, they would always make back up and move on. and that was fine. i just wanted my friend to be happy. >> reporter: racking her brain. trying to think of ways to provide for her husband and daughters, pam came up with the idea of mixing her love of working with precious metals, with jim's interest in coin collecting. together, the couple started buying and selling gold and silver coins. soon, that grew into an internet-based company they could manage from their home. and it started bringing in money. they called their business goldfinger coin and bullion. the year was 2001, and there was a new gold rush in america. the fayeds had found their way to a get-rich-quick scheme that worked. but as investigators would discover, what tripped them up were many of the same human frailties that so bedeviled those 49ers who panned for gold, instead of picking on it. and so, here is another question. if money is the root of all evil, then what is gold? >> someone else had a close eye on this lucrative business, and the color of money was about to turn very dark, indeed. coming up. >> i called her to warn her. >> when "dateline" continues. w. >> when "dateline" continues jos who have turned into their parents. i'm having a big lunch and then just a snack for dinner. so we're using a speakerphone in the store. is that a good idea? one of the ways i do that is to get them out of the home. you're looking for a grout brush, this is -- garth, did he ask for your help? -no, no. -no. we all see it. we all see it. he has blue hair. -okay. -blue. progressive can't protect you from becoming your parents, but we can protect your home and auto when you bundle with us. -keep it coming. -you don't know him. today's discussion will be around sliced meat. moms want healthy... and affordable. land o' frost premium!!! no added hormones either. it's the only protein i've really melted with. land o' frost premium. fresh look. same great taste. when they're sick, they get comfortable anywhere and spread germs everywhere. nothing kills more viruses, including the covid-19 virus, on more surfaces than lysol disinfectant spray. lysol. what it takes to protect. jim and pam fayed had staked their claim in the online gold-trading business. they began by buying old, gold coins, and selling them, at a profit. then, they expanded. setting up what was essentially a small bank. storing gold for customers, and allowing them to borrow against it. the market grew, and so did the bottom line. pam's best friend, carole neeve. >> they went to gold shows, trade shows in las vegas, san diego, la, do all the meet-and-greet kind of thing. pam was very good at that. she was very charming. jim was more the laid-back, stay away, sit in the booth. >> reporter: timing was good. in 2001, gold was hovering around $250 an ounce. then, it started to take off like a rocket. by 2008, gold was listed at $800 an ounce. soon, the fayeds were getting rich, just off the fees they charged for selling the gold online. >> it doesn't take much to be able to turn a profit. every transaction, whether it's $100 or $2,000 or $100,000, if you were making anywhere from 3 to 5%, per transaction, you've got money coming in. >> reporter: very quickly, the fayeds started making a lot of money. they moved their home business, that this building outside la, and hired employees to staff it. they bought a 2,800-square-foot home. a second home, in nearby moore park, which they called happy camp ranch. complete with horses for pam and jeanette. they were nouveau riche, perhaps, but they were determined not to flaunt it too much. even their oldest daughter, desiree, who started working for the company as a teenager, did not realize how much her parents were raking in. >> so, when you hear figures of tens of millions of dollars coming in, that's news to you. >> it is. yeah. >> did they live that way? >> we had an average house. a two-story home. we weren't living in a mansion. we had extra money to do things we wanted, but it wasn't enough to show they were millionaires, to be honest. >> you never felt like you were rich or living lavishly. >> i knew that we were well off, but not to the millionaire status. >> reporter: one thing the fayeds income did mean was that pam could be a full time mom, something she always dreamed of. >> she wanted to be able to stay home and raise her kids. work, if she wanted to, when she wanted to, which is part of owning your own company. >> reporter: and jim liked if that way, too. he may have liked that, a little too much. though, pam was the vice president of goldfinger coin and bullion, jim fayed was the president. he seemed to like the sound of that. and he, apparently, loved controlling just about every aspect of the business. >> he, originally, was a really humble guy and i feel as the business grew, so did his ego. and basically, changed the person he was into thinking almost as if he was someone who was invincible. >> reporter: and then, one day, jim discovered that he wasn't. his health started to slip. he developed rheumatoid arthritis, and started taking a lot of pills to dull the pain from that. and perhaps, a different side of jim fayed began to emerge. >> there became a point where jim was addicted to pain medications. and it wasn't the same jim that pam knew. by this point, jim wanted total control of her and the company. and her job was to stay home and be a wife. >> reporter: as controlling as jim was, he couldn't control the arthritis in his joints. it forced him to give up going to the office. was he in the hospital or bedridden or -- >> he was bedridden, yes. >> for how long? >> for a couple years. >> really? so, he barely got out of bed for a couple years? >> yes. i felt as he became bedridden, he wasn't as social with us, anymore. he kind of stayed in his bedroom. basically, i felt like he kind of left us, as a family. we didn't really see him much, at that point. it kind of angered me, seeing the person he was turning into. >> reporter: the year was 2006. desiree says, as jim became harder to get along with, it served to push away pam's attempts to be more involved with the company, while her husband was ill. >> i could hear them bickering about the business, on a daily basis. >> specifically? >> nothing specific but just little things here and there that needed to be changed. >> reporter: that are disagreements grew daily and festered, to the point where the couple separated. jim started spending more and more time at the ranch home in moore park. and while the fayed marriage was crumbling, federal prosecutors were taking a look at the booming online gold-trading business. they were looking for evidence of fraud, of tax evasion, and of the transferring of money without the proper-government license. pam's friend, carole, did not want to see pam caught in a federal net. >> i called her, to warn her. i told her she needed to get the money transmitter licenses. and you have to start that process. once you start that process, the feds can't touch you. >> reporter: carole says pam agreed. >> all she ever wanted was for a legitimate company. that's all -- you know, she just wanted to be on the up and up. and she was going to tell jim, even though they were separated. >> reporter: pam urged jim to apply for the licenses. he appears to have been adamantly opposed to a move that would have, essentially, opened goldfinger's books to scrutiny by the federal government. pam decided she was not going to allow jim to roll the dice on their business. the business that had let pam live the life she had always wanted. >> pamela was a girl scout. she wanted to do it right. pamela knew that they were making plenty of money. they, as a family, the fayed family, were flush. they didn't need to worry about nickels and dimes, here and there. and she was, also, aware, i believe, that, at some point, the federal government was going to start looking very closely at them. they couldn't continue building this business, on this international scale, without someone taking a look. and so, pamela's idea was let's do it right. let's cross our ts, let's dot our is. let's get the money licensing. >> her husband said, absolutely not? >> he said, absolutely not. >> reporter: but, pam moved forward, anyway, and withdrew a large sum of cash to apply for the licenses. and for jim fayed, that may have been the last straw. >> he called her names that i cannot, and will not, repeat on your camera. horrible, horrible accusations about pamela fayed, the mother of his own child. and he was doing this, in order to set the stage for what, i believe, was his ultimate goal, was to take all the money, and to crush her during the divorce proceeding. >> in california, it's pretty hard to crush somebody and take all the money in a divorce proceeding. >> i would say so. she helped build the company. she was an officer in the company. she held half of the company's proceeds. i mean, she was half owner. it's as simple as that. >> reporter: and soon, there would be another problem. what pam fayed had worried about would come true. federal investigators would come after goldfinger, indicting both jim and pam fayed because their company didn't have those money-transmitter licenses. >> when the indictment came down, pamela fayed was in contact with her lawyer, very quickly. she, immediately, indicated that she wanted to cooperate with the authorities. that was the position that she was taking. i want to cooperate. i want to do whatever i can to help out the investigation. i didn't do anything wrong, according to pam. what can i do to help? >> did james fayed know that his wife was going to cooperate? >> that's the $64,000 question. coming up. a suspect in the case. and soon, an arrest. >> he wasn't someone that i would ever think could be involved in something like this. but police had only just begun to solve the puzzle. when "dateline" continues. e. when "dateline" continues. hello, i'm dara brown. the final weekend of campaigning is about to get underway in georgia, where toouzuesday's ru elections will decide which party will control the united states senate. president-elect biden will -- and president trump will both be there, on monday. alabama will face ohio state in college football's championship game, on january 11th. it is the fifth time, in six years, that alabama is playing for a national title. now, back to "dateline." welcome back to "dateline." i'm craig melvin. pamela fayed seemed ready to expose her husband's questionable, business practices. could that have led to her murder? here, again, is josh markowitz. >> reporter: lapd detective, salaam abdul, was investigating the murder of a woman in a parking garage. then, he learned that, not only was pam fayed locked in a bitter divorce with her husband jim. but, that the gold-trading company that had generated all the money they were fighting over, was now under federal investigation. and that pam was going to turn on her husband, and cooperate with prosecutors. >> she was probably going to be a witness against him. he was pretty pissed off about that. >> what, potentially, were the penalties for mr. and mrs. fayed in that case? >> potentially, they could have had their assets seized and that was huge. if they had their assets seized, mr. fayed wouldn't have been able to conduct business. >> reporter: after a long investigation, federal agents took jim into kubt day, just days after pam was killed. he was charged with operating a money transfer business without a license. and he pleaded not guilty. at the same time, detective abdul continued his investigation into pam's murder. starting not just with the videotape of jim fayed at the time of the murder. but also, of some security video of the parking-garage exit. >> what we did was that we narrowed it down to the time, around when mrs. fayed was killed. and the vehicles that were leaving the parking structure. >> reporter: in the minutes after the attack, this red suzuki pulls up to the garage exit. the wrong exit. a man holding what seems to be a black, hooded sweatshirt, gets out of the backseat to check the exit gate, before jumping back in. >> we ran the vehicle license check and we found one of the vehicles that were leaving the garage was associated with mr. fayed and goldfinger. >> mr. fayed's business? >> yes. >> reporter: detectives trace that red, suzuki suv to an avis rental-car center. the car was leased by goldfinger. jim fayed's company. one of jim's nephews had recently relocated to california, and had driven the car for about a month, until just a few days before the murder. after that, the car was in the care of the fayeds' ranch hand, a man named jose moya. investigators say it was moya who was behind the wheel. but on the tape, there seemed to be three people in the vehicle. who were they? a month later, jose moya was arrested and charged with pam's murder. he pleaded not guilty. it turns out, hjose moya knew pam. not only did he work on their ranch, he even had his own living quarters on the property. he knew about the fayed's gold. he knew where they stored it. he was trusted to transport the gold back and forth from the business to the home in moore park. >> how well did you know jose? >> i knew him pretty well. he was actually -- he was a really nice guy to me. he was a character. every time he'd come into the office, we'd always joke around with each other. he was -- he wasn't someone that i would ever think could be involved in on something like this. >> you liked him? >> i did. >> your mom liked him? >> she was very fond of joey. >> reporter: had moya charmed his way into the fayed's life as a way to gain their trust? was this all part of a bigger plot to kill the owners and steal their gold? pam best friend recalls how pam talked during the divorce. >> i was on the phone with pamela, and she was really upset. she felt like someone was following her in a truck she did not recognize. i said, are you sure? she says, it's been following me for quite some time. i said, who is it? she goes, i don't know, it's a guy. she kept looking and watching. and they turned off, into a parking lot. at that point, she could see that it was jose. and she says, why is jose following me? and i said, i don't know, pam, what the hell is going on? you need to call the cops, and tell the cops. >> reporter: tina holland's last visit with pam was a week and a half before she was killed. >> and i just walked in, and she was out in the backyard and she was smoking like a train. and she honestly looked like she had lost 15 pounds, since two weeks prior. she was in her pajamas. it was 3:00 or 4:00 in the afternoon. her hair was all crumpled up. she looked horrible. and she said, tina, jim is gonna do it. and i said, what are you talking about, pam? and she said, jim is gonna have me murdered. coming up. could her suspicions be true? detectives take one more look at the tape, the exact moment of the murder. is the answer right in front of them? when "dateline" continues. telino the mirror. and know you're not alone because this. come on jessie one more. is the reflection of an unstoppable community in the mirror. >> reporter: jim fayed was in a federal lockup facing white-collar charges. operating an internet-gold business, without a money-transmitter license. but, lapd detective, salaam abdul rahman was investigating whether jim had killed his wife to keep her from cooperating frin that federal case. detectives focused on that security video, and realized those grainy pictures were so telling, not because of jim fayed is doing but, because of what jim isn't doing. it's the moment of pam's murder, in the parking garage next door, and everyone in the frame starts to react. to move toward the sound of pam fayed's screams. everyone, that is, except jim fayed. he doesn't seem interested. is it your belief that, at the time, surveillance cameras capture mr. fayed sort of walking around the courtyard area, that he knew his wife was being killed, at that exact moment? >> yes. the reason i base my belief on that is because mr. fayed, when he walks out of the building, everyone's interested in what's going on in the parking structure, except mr. fayed, because he knows what had just transpired. >> reporter: but that apparent disinterest in pam's screams wasn't enough to charge jim with murder. in fact, there was little evidence he had anything to do with it. then, detective abdul rahman's phone rang. >> the assistant u.s. attorney tells us that mr. fayed's cellmate wants to talk to whoever is handling the investigation of mrs. fayed's death. >> and what does the cellmate tell you? >> the cellmate tells us that mr. fayed had confessed to him that he had hired someone to kill his wife. >> reporter: detectives believe that someone was jose moya, the ranch hand. the cellmate, also, had other information that had not been reported in the news. >> mr. fayed's cellmate had told us mr. fayed tried to set his wife up to be killed four different times. what's interesting about that is that, on one of these occasions, he said mr. fayed set up a time where she was at a party in malibu on the fourth of july. >> was pamly fayed at a party in malibu on july 4th? >> yeah, she was. and that led to his credibility, so, at that time, we decided to get this conversation on tape. >> reporter: so, they wired the cellmate for sound. and they heard jim fayed talking about how he tried to kill his wife, but how it just hadn't worked out that time. former prosecutor, alan jackson. >> james fayed describes, in detail, how he told the killers about a party that pamela was going to be attending in malibu. according to him, they were simply supposed to car jack her and kill her, and everybody would think that it was just a random, act of violence. nobody would know anything the better. >> reporter: now, with a confession on tape, both jim fayed and jose moya were charged with pam's murder. but there was more work to be done, in order to track down the others involved. it seems like you, pretty quickly, fixed on mr. fayed as the only suspect here. and the only question was, since it wasn't his hand on the knife, whose hand was it? and how do you connect that person to him? >> correct. and the first thing that we noticed was that there was three individuals in the vehicle that was registered to mr. fayed's company. so, we knew we had three additional suspects. now, the only question was how do we tie those three to mr. fayed? and that was done through cell phone searches and, also, cell-site coordination. >> it would take more than a year to gather enough evidence to identify and charge two more suspects with murder. in june, 2010, steven simmons and gabriel marquez were arrested. prosecutors say, jim didn't know them, that moya hired them. investigators say steven was the alleged stabber, and gabriel was the lookout. both, pleaded not guilty. but amazingly, jim fayed wasn't done with the idea of murder. he, apparently, believed his cellmate had connections, and he wanted to hire a new hit man, from jail. >> he wants to -- taken care of. he actually drew out a map that was never found, depicting where he can find the ranch hand to actually carry out this murder. and what he wanted to do was have the ranch hand tortured so he can actually tell his cellmate or tell the hit man where the other two individuals were. >> reporter: prosecutors say the price tag for pam fayed's killing was $25,000. he was bankrolling it. >> no question. he commissioned this crime and that's what -- where the investigation began to lead us. that's where the evidence began to lead us. we knew, clearly, that he had an alibi for the actual stabbing. he is not the stabber. he is not the actual killer. >> you also knew he had probably a bigger motive than anybody else. >> there were always, in my mind, dual motives for james fayed to contract the murder of his wife. one was the divorce. but one was to silence who he thought was going to be a witness against him, pamela fayed. >> did he just give this hit man that he hired the money and say go kill my wife? >> james fayed is a control freak. if he is anything, he wants to be in control, at all times. which is why he didn't want his wife, pamela, doing anything having to do with transfer licenses. the same mo is what drove this contract killing. >> reporter: and investigators believe that jim fayed exhibited that need for control, as he planned his wife's murder. he focused, they believe, on a particular fear of pam's. >> it was discovered that she had a phobia about knives. and she had believed that she -- if she was killed, that she was gonna be killed by someone with a knife. >> who expresses a belief that, if they're killed, they are going to be killed with a knife? i mean, that sounds like somebody who almost is foretelling their own death. >> and it's, also, my belief that mr. fayed knew that -- knew of his wife's phobia with knives. and that was one of the reasons that a knife was used. >> you think it's no accident that pamela fayed was killed with a knife? you think that her husband deliberately, not just had her killed but had her killed in the way she was most frightened of? >> that's my belief. >> reporter: jim fayed was to go on trial for murder and conspiracy to commit murder. if convicted, he was facing th death penalty. the jury would learn about all of the evidence investigators collected. they would hear from witnesses. and of course, from jim fayed, himself, in his own words, in what his attorney would claim was simply a performance for an audience of one. and now, you're about to hear the tapes, too. >> she, she, she ran her mouth too much. she ran it out of control. coming up, true confession or terrific con job? >> he was conned into playing along with the cell mate in order to survive. >> what would a jury think about the tale of the tape? when "dateline" continues. when "dateline" continues. t it? got it. it's slippery. nooooo... noooo... nooooo... yeeeesss... quick, the quicker picker upper! bounty picks up messes quicker and each sheet is 2x more absorbent, so you can use less. hey look, i got it. bounty, the quicker picker upper. i guess i look pretty... ridiculous. [ chuckles ] no one looks ridiculous, bob. progressive is always here for you with round-the-clock service. just so you know, next time, you can submit a claim with our mobile app. good. thanks again for -- for rushing over. are you kidding? this is what 24/7 protection looks like. okay. -you smell like fish. -sorry. i was talking to jamie. air wick scented oils arences infuseds in nature. with natural essential oils for fragrance day after day,up to 60 days air wick scented oils. connect to nature. on may 4th, 2011, jim fayed found himself in a los angeles courtroom accused of being the mastermind behind the plot to kill his wife. his federal charges involving financial crimes were dropped when the state of california decided to try him for capital murder. prosecutors allen jackson and eric harmon laid out their case. >> it's not your typical love story where boy meets girl, but instead, it's a love story where boy meets gold. it's that breed, that love of gold that caused this man, james michael fayed, to have his wife murdered for financial gain. >> prosecutors offered this snapshot of the fayeds' riches during the short time they ran their business. >> so, mr. fayed found a niche, which is transferring money for only a 2% fee, which was highly, highly competitive and lucrative. so, those of you who are good at math, you'll know that that's approximately $20 million in fees that went to goldfinger between 2001 and 2008, making a lot of money. >> but the good times didn't last. the company was under indictment. pam was cooperating with federal investigators, and the couple were getting divorced. >> they were going to be divorced, so the marriage was over, no matter what. and their relationship was over. >> jim fayed's attorney says that none of that was a motive for murder. >> but they did have a business that was a viable, lucrative business, and it was worth maintaining, and if she hadn't been murdered, presumably, they would have come to some settlement over the assets and some division of the property involved in the business. >> jim fayed did not testify, and he didn't make worksman's defense any easier. the prosecution's smoking gun was that tape, made by police and a cooperative cellmate. >> i told you, she knew her boundaries. she, she, she ran her mouth too much. she went out of control. >> about your business? >> should have kept her mouth shut, yeah. >> on the tape, he described how he hired someone to kill pam and set up several scenarios to have that happen but says it was one missed opportunity after another. >> there were four different other occasions where i had it so it was perfectly clean. >> such as? no cameras? >> yeah, such as walking out of a july 4th party down in malibu at a friend's house with 100 other people. >> they could've just done it then? >> yeah. it was a rural area. i even had the times, the dates, everything, the location, all he had to do was sit there and wait for her to get in the car and jack it. and everybody at the party wovz said, oh, yeah, she went home. >> he claims it was play acting. >> jim claims he was conned along with playing along with this cellmate, in order to avoid appearing weak or vulnerable, and that he was simply trying to make a favorable impression on this tough guy in this tough environment, where he had to appear tough in order to survive. >> but on the tape, jim told his cellmate how he wished he could have done the deed himself. >> i was waiting and waiting and waiting to figure something out. i wanted -- i just wanted to do it myself. but i know i'll never be able to -- be able to get away with it, never. >> and he claims he would have gotten anyone in on plot for what he said would have been another $25,000. >> should get done by next week or so. he'll go out and get there and get that fool and put them, take him down and ask him some questions and i'm sure he'll be obliged to let us know anything we want to know. >> make sure all loose ends are -- >> there you go. >> are clean. make sure all loose ends are sewn up. >> it took the jury less than three days to find jim fayed guilty. he also received the death penalty. jose moya, gabriel marquez and steven simmons were all convicted of first-degree murder and conspiracy to commit murder. they were each sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole. jim fayed left behind two daughters who were essentially orphaned by the greed of a man they once loved and trusted. >> i almost feel as if he doesn't feel bad, or maybe he's embarrassed, i'm not sure. i can't say that. i honestly feel like he lost himself as a human being. he's a shell. he has no moral compass. he's completely off. he's not a person anymore. he's not a human being. >> anything you want to say to him, if he's watching this? >> i just want to ask why? why? what was he thinking? did he not think this would affect me and jeanette? i mean, i want to know why he thought it was okay for him to do this. i feel like money and power is what got to him. >> and he cared more about money and power than he did about -- >> his own family. >> that's all for this edition of "dateline." i'm craig melvin. thank you for watching. first up on msnbc, different day, same schpiel, president trump kicking off the new year calling the georgia senate runoffs illegal and invalid, while also tearing into republican leadership. >> what's your reaction to the president calling you out on twitter and saying he wants to put a primary challenge?

and electronic cigarettes are they a healthy alternative to smoking? and we begin tonight with that new dip lo t maic deal for ukraine. crew crane and the union agreed on the first steps to solve the stand off. our correspondent will have much more on that just ahead. kiev is confirming that government forces have skilled four protestors. 24 afternoon, u.s. military options are not on the table, and in the eastern city, leaflets were -- that they have to register with authorities. two separatist leader who is on those, say they are phony, still, secretary of state kerry says the u.s. is alarmed by it. there is not just intolerable, it is grotesque. it is beyond unacceptable, and any of the people that engage in these activities from whatever marty or whatever ideology, or whatever place they crawl out of there is no place for that. >> kerry's comments came after diplomates meeting in switzerland announced that deal to start diffuse it is crisis. officials on all sides said they had low expectations going into the talks but then a surprise, russia, the united states, ukraine and the union crafted an accord to deescalate a situation bordering on civil war. >> the parties agreed today, that all sides must refrain from the use of violence, intimidation, or provocative actions. and we strongly condemn and rejected all expressions of extremism, racism, and religious international remembers including antisemitism. the european union, u.s., and all accused of sending in agitators and undercover solves to organize demonstration and take over buildings near the boarder. but the envoy admitting nothing still agreed they should go. >> we are calling for these to be made. all the buildings have returned to their legitimate owners. all the squares and streets have been to be freed. the organization in europe, created during the cold war, and already deployed is tasked with making the agreement stick. involved getting more atonmy to russian speaking places and working on a new constitutional before an election in late may. >> what is not in a deal, is the removal of sanctions against russia. the e.u. and the united states have already imposed some after moscow annexed crimea, and they are threatening another round targeting the critical oil and gas sector as they feel that moscow is not doing it's upmost to deescalate the situation. president obama has lucked the agreement, but expressed doubt about the role. so, libby, how confident do you think the president is about this deal. >> not confident at all. john, he certainly was not expressing a whole lot of optimism, even though he did use word withs like hope, and says there is a bit of a promise, he said that there is a possibility of prospects that this diplomacy could lead to deeswhichization. we are not going to count on it until we see it. >> of course, deescalation is is there, john, something that the president is hoping for, but not placing a lot of bets on. he is having conversations with other world leaders. he soak with with the german chancellor today. of the u.k., basically the president said he is not sure of anything at this point. >> so lib gi the sanctions are on hold. >> what the president said today, is that all the sanctions that have been put in place, will continue. until they see real signs of promise, and russia following flu, the sanctions will stay in place. the conversations he is having now, with world leaders especially european allies are about further sanctions. deeper sanctions and he said those definitely need to be on the table. as a looming threat, if the ground situation doesn't change. in the meantime they are talking about the economy, also, the defense component of this. dealing with nato, so in the meantime, the presidentn't ways to say okay, we will let this play out, but we are not stopping with with the efforts we are working through the various chantz on. >> what else are we hearing about these pamphlet. >> absolutely. a department spokes woman said that these pamphlets are out there, they do have evidence that they are real, although they don't have any sort of verification of where they are coming from. you heard the secretary himself, about how intolerable this is. he says he strongly condemns them. this could have ripple effect realities in terms of washington and the white house, if they can get to the bottom of where these have come from, members of congress will be very disinclined to give any sort of assistance or room to anyone who has been involved in this. so the white house has to watch this very closely, as they think about what their next moves are. >> all right, libby casey at the white house, thank you. thomas nichols is a professor -- he joins us from cambridge massachusets, welcome. >> thank you. >> what do you make of this deal. >> well, it reminds somewhat of the iran deal, it is more of a deal to make a deal. it is more like p a strategic pause than a deal. because it doesn't really require anybody to do inning. certainly doesn't p require anything of the russians to do anything. >> doesn't really require the u.s. in the west to back off? >> it requires them not to impose any new. >> which means backing off on the threats? >> for now, and leaving the sanctions in place. i don't think it's a very good deal, from anybody's point of view, except the russians. it basically lets them stay right where they are, and requiring them to do almost nothing, which i think which is is one of the reason -- >> so why would the united states get involved? that's a good question, i am trying to figure out what with deal we made, because we keep hearing the term the deal, a deal implies that two sides have week add copremias, the foreign minister says it is a compromise, it looks like a pretty one sided compromise to me. >> what's at stake. >> i think the future of the united states position in europe, as well as the future of nato is at stake here. s what the quite has a vested interest. it is our most important region. but the fact is europe is where our traditional allies are. it is where we a lot of our young men fought and died in world war ii, it was the main arena in the cold war with, and we should have a leading role in establishing peace and security in the european continent, as atlantic power, and if we can't do that, then our nato partners will have serious concerns about whether we are really leading an alliance. >> and in the middle of this, the president comes out and says military force isn't on the table, and then putin says we use it if we have to, what -- what sort of message does that send? >> i have to admit, that i don't understand the constant attempt on the american side to keep ruling out our own options. before we are even asked to. i am not sure -- i think that is probably on attempt to keep it tamped down, but instead as well intentioned as that is, it is a message that we don't have a deep interest in this. and i think the russians are making some what in the long term will be some miscalculations based on what they think is a lack of interest on our part. >> so they are sitting down and talking and that would be the good knew? i think it is the good news. and if everybody would stop and take a breath, something more than this has to happen, including the few back of the russian p toos. that was left out of this deal, or semideal, or arrangement. and the as long as there's 30 or fort thousand troops it's nos much of a deal. >> we have to assume that the united states is more than this then was signed today? >> i believe earlier today, secretary kerry said the issue of russian troops is -- was being addressed. that there were discussions about it in more detail, and that that's down the road, and soon to come. i think the president's more realistic assessment is we will see what happens. i didn't see any evidence of that in this deal, but it is a very short seven or eight p prepareds. so maybe it is there. >> so -- i don't want to put words in your mouth, you don't think this is a break through by any means in. >> i think it is a good step, i don't think it's a break through, i think -- i think it's more of a pause than it is a break through. for it to be a break through, something would have to be resolved. or the three, four sides in this case can, the united states, europe, russia, ukraine, and other than to leave everyone in place, and call for no further violence, there hasn't been any kind of an agreement. >> you know, there's been a lot of talk about what with vladimir putin wants is this about his position in the world? his ego. >> i think a large part of it is. i have thought from the beginning of this that putin is prime vising quite a bit. his initial reaction was highly emotional to what he took a a grave and humiliated insubstitute. when the previous president was run out of town, and i think he's been a gambler with a good run, so he keeps throwing the dice. >> interesting. thank you, john. >> we will hear more from president putin later on, including details from the phone call he took from ed toward now den, another source of tension between the u.s. and russia. now to south korea, where 300 passengers are still missing following this week's ferry accident, the death toll currently stands at 25, most of the passengers were students on a school trip, headed for the island. the ferry sank off the coast of another island. anxious parents have spent two long nights hoping for good news. >> day two of this operation, and rescue crews were in little doubt where most of the missing must be, but for all the boats and helicopters for all the divers just getting access to the ferry let alone locating anyone inside, remains an enormous challenge. fast swirling currents poor visibility, and the depth of the access is points has made for slow progress, something the president expressed concern about, during an unannounced visit. the audio was only becoming more grueling. >> you are just repeating what they are saying on the news. one woman tells officials. they say there have been too few dives and time is running out. frustration fueled by unverified reports of text messages and facebook posts coming from inside the ferry. >> we think 60 to 70 people are still alive, but when we talk to them, they just worry about whose job it is. they keep passing it on to somebody else. >> later police say they check the phone accounts and concluded that the text messages had been faked. they promised to track down and punish those responsibility. >> many of the parents stood vigil, and now through another long awful day, what they want, of course, is what so far authorities haven't been able to provide them. some real news, of the fate of their loved ones. >> some more details have emerged on the investigation, coast guard officials saying a deviation from the government recommended rout may have contributed to the sinking also noting a sharp turn made by the vessel just before it got into trouble. there are also questioning the captain, reportedly one of the first off the ship. investigators who want to know why passengers war with told to stay onboard as water rushed in and why only one lifeboat had been deployed. back at the port, schools of parents were returning. a huge response to a national tragedy, made up of hundreds of individual ones. of course, the ferry tragedy is raising a lot of questions about safety, and while some managed to save themselves while jumping off, others chose to stay onboard, or were told to stay onboard, reshell query joins us now with that. >> it took two hours for this ferry to sink, in that time passengers were being told to stay put, that they should not try to get off the ship. >> this is amateur cell phone video taken on the ship as it sang. moosegers have their life vests on but are staying in place. that's because an announcement is telling them, don't move because it is more dangerous if you move, some survivors saying listening to that and following it's directions could have cost the missing 300 passengers their lives. kim petersen, a security and safety consultant said the captain had told passengers to stay put, while he tried to stabilize is ship, and there may have been confusion regarding the evacuation. after 30 minutes of effort to stabilize the vessel she eventually listed the five degrees at which point, 1 of the deck officers recommended to the captain, that he order the evacuation of all the passengers. it is not clear, and there is some folks that are saying that the order was with never transmitted over the intercom system. and the passengers onboard and these high school students may never have been given word to move to the mustering stations or to evacuate. >> petersen also says international safety procedures have changed over the past few decades but new rules on briefing passengers at the start of a voyage won't go into effect until 2015. >> we are not sure whether or not there was any briefing given whatsoever, in as much as it was only a 14 hour cruise from enshaun. >> and while these passengers most of them students oen a field trip, stayed put, they are unconfirmed reports that the captain and the crew were the first off the ship. so captain wearing a gray hoody apologized to families thursday, as he sat in the south korean coast guard office. >> if anyone is still alive inside the ship, survivors say they may be in two places in the middle decks the game room and the restaurant. with that hope in mind, divers are planning to pump air into the hull, so far, rough weather has kept them from doing that. >> the biggest problem now that they are facing is cold. the water some ten degrees celsius, and the likelihood is that anyone that is in the water is going to be suffering from cold injuries at this point. there were no lifeboats on the vessel, just life rafts. now, there were enough for everybody on the ship, but only two of the 46 were actually used. there's going to be so much questions from this, and perhaps something learned from this like there was with with the costa concordia, why they were told to stay onboard. >> it just gives you chills. >> just ahead, new developments in kansas city, where police have been investigating a string of highway shootings, plus, land dispute, a nevada ranchser in a decades long stand off with the federal government over where his cattle graze. and five days in detroit, we meet a restaurant owner trying to bring others back to the struggling city. they have said they have a suspect in custody. >> do we have any idea how they captured this guy? >> well, since they released very little in order we do know by linking the 12 with together. that is where they were building it from. much of the information would be coming from the slugs that were found and recovered from these cars that were shot at, and they could do a test on those, that may help determine whether they were linked or not. which is why it is not clear whether they have been linked yet, sometimes they weren't able to find bullets but they could continue tolize. but right now, we expect they will come out with more information. they are saying they will have a press conference. >> usher, thank you very much. >> now we are spending five days in detroit this week, which is part of our on going series. a spotlight on the issue disease the people impacting the landmark cities. now, detroit once one of the most powerful cities in america, it is now the large nest u.s. history to go bankrupt. but one man is trying to help detroit and it's entrepreneurs get their businesses off the ground. with more on that. >> he owns this warehouse here behind me, and he leases out work space, and expensive work space to those looking to start their own businesses. collie strongly believes that rebuilding the middle class is key to the future. the abandoned drain station has become a symbol of the plight. afflicted by urban decay, betty crime, and unemployment. the small community has endured tough times. 36-year-old is trying to change the narrative. everything just shifts in changes. >> collie, a former fashion model open add successful restaurant over ten years ago. now, he is in the business of helping others. >> and then this is what started off as a dance studio for a crew, then became fencing as you can see the lines. >> in 2011, he purchased this 30,000 square feet abandoned warehouse for $100,000. >> it had a necktive history in our community, we want with to see how kit have a positive future. >> today. any enclave of small creative entrepreneurs that he referred to as pony ride, a name he chose to evoke the creativity of children, in a bankrupt city where the jobless rate is over 15%, he is threing to reignite the entrepreneur spirit. >> it is about accessful, and if we are going to be truly accessible it has to be affordable. >> $280 a month, buys him space that would typically rent for over $1,000. >> or to show people what possibilities are. i think that's like the real power of what we are doing here. >> andrew ward with is a concrete craftsman who recently moved here with his family from north carolina. >> i have a certain amount of skill, and desire, and ambition, but i don't necessarily have all of the capitol behind me to start thing, and this has given me the opportunity to start it without as much skin in the game. >> savings that put him in a position to hire. >> i want to build a team. and then the number i pick, which i feel like is random, but i want to employ ten people. i want to be able to pay a good wage, and provide a healthy stable kind of drama free work environment. >> and is there still rook to grow. >> we are at capacity. so we are lucky. >> however, collie says he isn't in it for profit. he says that's what is working here, can be shared with other communities. even if it creates just juan job at a time. but detroit's financial future is in limbo. and after five decades of bleeding jobs, it can take just as long to see widespread growth. pony ride is also very involved in the community, those who work here they are i am told they volunteer hundreds of hours each year since it's inception, pony ride has created dozens of jobs. john. >> fascinating story, thank you very much. and tomorrow night, in five days in detroit, we will talk to b.c. again, go to symphony, after years of strikes the detroit

fielding questions beginning with the situation in ukraine. our peter sharp has more from moscow. >> no coincidence, that as the crucial party talks got on in geneva, shad my putin was stealing headlines in moscow. a question and answer session is with the russian people. top of the agenda, the crisis in ukraine, and one question, would putin send in the troops. a right to use armed forces. i very much hopely not have to use that right, and we will be able to solve all of the issues in ukraine, but political and diplomatic means. >> putin also had a firm message to countries like the united states, which imposed sanctions on russia over the actions in ukraine. >> can a compromise be found on the issue between the united states and russia, the compromise must not be found between third party players but different between political forces within ukraine itself, this is the key point. to two with very different messages. he was shower that ukraine and russia could reach a mutual understanding he feels russian speaking minority are threatened. and then he said i hope i don't have to use that permission. if there was any caller likely to aggravate the u.s., it is this one. having his first known public conversation with vladimir putin. >> mr. snowden, you are the former agent, and in the past i had something to do with intelligence. and we will talk between ourselves as professionals. >> the refusal to hand over snowden severely strained ties with the united states. and with the deadlock over ukraine, only getting worse, that relationship with washington is unlikely to improve. there is confusion tonight about what happened to 129 nigerian school girls that were kidnapped late monday. he retracted a previous statement, which had most of the girls being freed.

know about the effects of the b.p. oil spill on these supposesies at the top of the food chain here in the gulf? >> it is a good question, but on top of the food chain, inning that happens goes up the level, so that is what our biggest concern is, thatting in going through the food chain that has to be looked at very carefully. what are some of the reasons behind that? >> well, of course these are effects of environmental challenges. certain isly other charges that these animals are facing. but you cannot effect a big event that has transpired. >> so where are we now. >> these are baby dolphins that have died p p because of the oil spill? >> that we with can't say. that's part of the necropsy, and is the pathology that has to be done. these are the ones that we just acquired. >> this turtle is one of the most endangers sea turtled in the entire country, in fact, 20 years ago this turtle they thought could possibly go extinct. since four years ago, the b.p. oil spill, they have seen a uptick in the death of these, and a surge in having is to rehab many of them. b.p. has said is the active clean up is complete. the coast guard says not by a long shot. here the institute marine

this month, the bureau of land management finally start add livestock round up, that triggers the last stand. >> we the people, have the sovereign right to defend ourself, and the militia is helping us. >> supporters many of them armed volunteers have come from across the one. they come from neighboring ising states and also as far as from new hampshire and tennessee. and in a stand off a few days ago, that almost turned violent the militia managed to force federal officials to retreat, and release the cattle. some call them heros others consider them vigilantes. gettic terrorists and worry about the precedent set. with the law optional, so long as you have enough people with guns backing you up. >> what has people upset, which is that due process that was served cannot be carried out in the face of militia. it has alarmed officials. >> yeah, he is a free loading rancher. some is people call him a welfare cowboy, i tend to agree with that. >> what is unclear is what the federal government will do next, go after the cattle or go after bundy himself. the bureau land management says this is a matter of fairness and equity, and we remain disappointed that he continues to not comply with the same laws that 16,000 public land ranker dozen every year. the family has lived here since is the 19th century and say this is their land, regardless of what federal laws say. >> they

then the war began. they had gotten away with so much. >> stories of pressure and power, and how it leaves the most vulnerable children even more helpless. an exclusive investigation coming up. >> now we turn to science, technology, and health. electronic cigarettes are being promoted as a smarter alternative to conventional, but new research says there are questions about their safety. what scientists are concerned. >> they are fruity, flavorful, fun, and more popular than ever. the explosion in advertising dollars and sales in electronic cigarettes are now in the billions. as the devices are being touted as a safer alternative to smoking tobacco cigarettes. but are the health claims for this new generation really true? or are may a smoke screen? most concerns about the health asks associates with the use of electronic cigarettes has focused on the liquids themselves. but research done here has demonstrated we shouldn't be concern with just the liquid, but also with the devices themselves. >> as nicotine researcher i wanted to point out more about cutting edge finding at the u.c. river side lap. >> you do your experience in the lab, and you hope to find something, and it all started with one, when we dissected it and found there was burning on the fibers. and it was just like a gold mine, we started dissecting and kept finding this over and over again. i would have never thought i would find this. >> the break through finding is that the aerosols emit, contain not just water vapor, may also have their own version of second hand smoke. >> what is the information from the electron tell you. >> we found that they are metal devices so they contain many different metal components. and then we took that a step further where we started looking at the fluid, and we found that there were metal particles that were found in the fluid as well as coating the fibers. >> anding us now, she is out in los angeles, you did your doctorate research in nicotine, did this surprise you? >> i mean i don't think it was surprising to find out that the vapor from these contained more than water, but i was surprised by what we actually found when they lifted the vapor. >> so what about second hand vapor, how much should people be concerned about that? >> i guess what i was really surprised by is that it contains heavy metals which is something we don't think about from conventional second hand smoke. these are the cancer causing compounds that we are really worried about. >> and you also looks at thetizing tell us about that. >> the advertising for ecigarettes is amazing. it seems like the tobacco companies have recycled the old cam can pain, like the marlboro man, and familiar faces. and simply just put electronic cigarettes in their hands. >> so this is all been approved really without a lot of research, right. >> well, correct, and the electronic cigaretted were approved to use as smoking saysization, we are seeing research come out about whether or not they are really effective for use by that, uh think regulation is coming, the fda has been thinking about it and hopefully they will come down with a few regulations. i think mostly we are concerned about the effects on adolescence that are exposed for the first time through these device devices. >> ones about space archaeology, tell us about that? >>

north korea, and i was shaking. but as someone who is going to talk about human rights issues then i felt proud. now i really want to talk about them. >> u.n. report calls from the security council to refer the issue to the international criminal court but that's unlikely given china has power to veto such a move and has publicly rejected the document. china's officials say lack of support of north korea made it impossible for the commission to be impartial and objective. >> china is a great country, and a great civilization, and itself must be concerned having at its door step a country that

their safety. the leader of the tribe was gunned down in broad daylight just over a year ago. he was fighting for the rights of his people. the case is pending in the courts and tension in the islands is high. >> it is awful for us because we're here first, yet we have been left behind while others have progressed we have nothing at all. >> they say local governments here have not given them enough protection often favoring the establishments the office of the mayor is unavailable for comment. the move to put the area on the tourism map is now being pushed. >> we're very grateful that the government has finally realized that they need to provide a face, the human face, because without them, we become a soulless community. >> it may also mean more jobs for those who have long been

[applause] >> auld let ease with which he stepped into journalism as a teenager, the rest of his writing life wasn't very easy. after 1973 military coup he was arrested for his radical views and imprisoned. he broke free and fled to a argentina where three years later he had to flee again. the notorious brigadier-general who had depots calderon impose a regime that became known for its secret caps, kidnapping and torture. when eduardo galeano's name appeared on the death squad list he escaped from one necessaries and settled in spain where he rode his three volume masterwork, bracingly original narrative of america's 5 ended years of history, memory of fire. stuttgart -- surviving long cancer a few years ago freed him, he says to employ an even larger kansas. in mirrors published in 2009 he reflects on five thousand years of human experience. and he manages to do it all with a big heart and achene, incisive sense of perspective. his theme throughout, the wrongs mankind has endured since time immemorial and the abiding human spirit that refuses to die. buy now eduardo galeano's work was translated into 30 languagess, he is a moral force around world, a recipient of many international processes but perhaps most impressive of all, he is an indefatigable writer. as he told me yesterday he can't help it. it is a muscle that doesn't tire even as the body does. we are beneficiaries of a new work, "children of the days". like his earlier works, "children of the days" is a mosaic of miniatures strong and get it to fashion the remarkable calendar that rivals from january to december like an ancient book of days. each page, each day as an illuminating little story that attaches somehow to the corresponding date. we latins are known for jabbering on, he told me once. i have striven to write it all sharper and shorter. these short, sharp cameos are sometimes deeply disturbing, sometimes enormously reassuring, but all of them i opening and memorable. in some, eduardo galeano is a living treasure, a clear head writer who has been unafraid to expose what is hidden, to call things as he sees them and invariably he sees them with a sense of justice. eduardo galeano was very much on my mind as i wrote my biography which is a once a tale of revolutionary triumph and the tragic narrative of unimaginable violence and corots of mistrust which we are ongoing airs in latin america. i thought of eduardo galeano as i wrote it because eduardo galeano has always been conscious of the ways that history defines us, living in the past as i have done for a few years i understand why eduardo galeano looks at the present through history, in history we see ourselves more clearly, we understand that we are in errors of of brutality that came before us but as eduardo galeano also knows, history can show us glimmers of humanity and courage as well. the meat can be heroic, the ordinary among us can be noble, the most humble acts in our fortitude of spirit. to the heart of bolivia trying to understand what he came to represent as a quintessential an american hero, are always had that eduardo galeano tension in mind, the shining spirit on the one hand and the all too dark human proclivities on the other. looking at the world this way as eduardo galeano does, with a keen eye to human failings, human courage and the misuses of power, i was able to get a clear picture of eduardo galeano's time and our history shaped latin america. so i have eduardo galeano to thank as so many of us do for his brave, unblinking example and as the novelist julio alvarez has said, a kind of moral beacon. he keeps me moral the awake while lifting my spirit with tales of the sweet, deep humanity which rebounds even after the cruelest moments of history. for all the history that eduardo galeano has created for us in his many illuminating work, he is a writer who has much to teach us about the present, a writer who lives in the right now. ladies and gentlemen, please welcome a superb writer and thinker, eduardo galeano. [applause] [applause] >> the first time i came to the united states for a reading was some years ago and was quite poor and so i began reading with a weak hand to the public saying organize. i thought what a nice public, so nice. i won't say i wouldn't mind, i just would say hello. welcome. i am going to read some stories from "children of the days" beginning with something that i wrote, hinted at what i understand to be the version of the genesis, in the words of the mayan indians in other parts of america. began to walk, and made us -- born of the children of the day's. [speaking spanish] >> if we are the "children of the days," it is no surprise that every day gives rise to a story, say we are made -- perhaps it was true but a little bird told me we are made of the stories and now i am going to chile few of those stories in born of the days. today in 1987, the man was born, founder of the dynasty of musicians and poets. i don't know if it is correct or not but seems to have been the first, and forward with a mustache in those parts of argentina. and appeared for work and markets down the road, to wait for at, then came after him, greeted him, commented, but this space, you never get there, and he responded i don't arrive, i traveled to rome. and perhaps too sad, but also tragedy is part of reality. october 14th, for civilization, in the year 2002, eight mcdonald's restaurants closed their doors in bolivia. [applause] >> i know it is terrible, but that is the way it is. only five years had these civilizing mission left. no one forced mcdonald's out. simply turned their backs, mcdonald's -- earned their stomachs. perhaps people did and open their mouth. the most successful company on the planet. and a novel gesture. distaste for progress, and vitiated bolivia from embracing junk food for the base of contemporary life. it derailed the government, oblivion's attached to the flavors of the family just continue eating without haste in long, slow, very slow ceremonies gone forever, forever gone is the company that everywhere else makes children happy hired workers who tried to unionize. [applause] >> april 12th, manufacturing the guilty party. hunt a day like today, a day later, at jesus of nazareth died on the cross. his judges found him guilty of inciting idolatry, blasphemy, superstition. not many centuries later the indians of america and the heretics of europe were found guilty of those same crimes, exactly the same ones end in the name of jesus of nazareth they were punished by gallows or fire. october 12th, the discovery -- i am not very original. in 1492 the natives discovered they were indians. i cannot go on. in 1492 the americans discovered they were indians, they discovered they lived in america, they discovered they were naked, they discovered the old obedience to a king and the queen from another world and a god from some other heaven. this god had invented built and bloating and perhaps he had other burned alive who worshiped the sun and the moon and the earth. there is a possible counterhistory of the discovery, the discovery. it says it might have been. christopher columbus could not discover america because he didn't have a visa or even a passport. he got on the boat in brazil, he might have been carrying books or the flu or -- there are policies, the conquest of mexico and peru because they didn't have working papers. turned away from the matter and in chile, they didn't ring proved of a clean record. the mayflower immigrants were sent back to see from the coast of massachusetts because the immigration quarters were full. [applause] >> this is the node to the capital of france from friends of mine. carlos died two or three months ago. and the other face of the moon. they were born and raised in germany, in 1973 these two illustrious professors arrived in mexico. they enter a community and introduced themselves by saying we have time to learn, after a while one of the mix planed the silence, this is the first time anyone has told us and there they remained, learning year after year from the mayan language to learn no hierarchy subject from object because the drinks mean and i am not by all that they would. and they learned to read people in the mayan way saying i am another you, you are another me. the first example about immigration which is a subject that i hope you are here, december, the first six times, today, december 18th, is international migrants day. it is not a bad moment to recall when the first time in human history obliged to emigrate were adam and eve. according to the official version, i am afraid this book, this version, according to the official version, eve tempted adam, offered him the forbidden fruit, and it was her fault that both of them were banished from paradise. that is that how it happened? or did adam do what he did of his own accord? [speaking spanish] >> maybe even offered him nothing. maybe adam shows to bite the forbidden fruit when he learned that eve had already done so. may be she had lost the privilege of immortality and adam opted to share her damnation. so he became moretal . but not alone. did they mexico invaded the united states. i am very sorry. an international situation. on this early morning, march 9, 1916, crossed the border with his horsemen to the city of columbus. a few horses and the following day was back in mexico to tell the tale. this latest incursion in some hours, the only invasion the united states has suffered. in contrast the united states has invaded practically every country in the entire world's. since 1947 it is the department of war being called and still called the department of defense and its more budget are called the defense budget. the names are in a gamma, parallel with the mystery of the holy trinity. [applause] >> july 1st, one terrorist fewer. in the year 2008 the government of the united states erased nelson mandela from its list of dangerous terrorists, dangerous for the national security of the united states. the most revered african in the world, during 60 years. i didn't know it. someone told me it happened in 60 years, nelson mandela, a terrorist, a list of dangerous terrorists, i began to have some doubts about the war on terrorism. [applause] >> is it really serious? if it would be serious, i would suggest to celebrate the day against terrorism on september 11th obviously, i would suggest to 18 posters all around the world everywhere, about the real terrorism, saying wanted for kidnapping countries wanted for assembling and jokes wanted for rating the land, poisoning the water, and stealing their water for trafficking in fear. of [applause] >> june 5th, nature is not new. the steel lights, disasters are called natural, nature with the executioner and not the victim. meanwhile the climate those crazy and we do get crazy by this possibility. today, june 5th, the world environment day, the good day to celebrate the new constitution of ecuador which in the year 2008 for the first time in the history of the world's, recognized nature as a subject with rights. it seems strange, this notion that nature has writes as if it were a person but in the united states it seems perfectly normal that big companies have human rights, and they do in a supreme court decision in 1886. if nature were a bank they would have already rescued it. [applause] >> june 26th, the kingdom of fear. today is the international day against torture. by tragic irony, the uruguayan military dictatorship is born the following day in 1973 and soon the country, my country into a huge torture chamber. for obtaining information torture was useless or practically useless, but it was very useful for showing fear and fear obliged the audience to leave by silence. when i was in exile i received an anonymous letter from uruguay. one of the letters said buying stocks, and getting used to lying sucks, but worse than lying is teaching to lie. and i have three tea years. thousands of stories. of military dictatorships in latin america. almost impossible to choose to have the choice and i finally tried to resume everything in a very short story which is quite original. never started before. i served lots of stories of criminals, however and its victims, but this is special. one of the thousands of young men who disappeared, was a student in the university and crime was to be disturbing the order in the university with nothing. in military lingo, he was transferred, disappeared, he was transferred. imprisoned the same day, heard his last words. you know of something? i have never -- now they are going to kill me. and i never win. and they disappeared, it was 1330, and disappeared. end nameless grave and also, groves natural forests, stars in city night, and they base of fruits written by hand and there was time to waste time, of the feed to ride to work, the right to believe, special retirement, those without locks, a sense of community and common sense also disappeared. i remember when dangerous animals, in 1986, disease struck the british isles, two million house suspecting dementia face capital punishment. in 1997 aliens flew from hong kong sowing panic convincing 1 million to death. and in the year 2009 mexico and the united states suffered an outbreak. sorry for my pronunciation. suffered an outbreak of swine flu and the entire world had to seal itself from the plague. no one knows how many were sacrificed for coughing or sneezing, who is guilty of causing human disease animals? is it simpler? animals, and global business, those sorcerer's apprentices with high potency chemical bones. i wrote opinionmakers a couple of thing, april 11th, this day in the year 2002, the president of the business association in to the president of venezuela, his glory did not last long. a couple days later, venezuelans stated the president they elected, venezuela's biggest tv and radio networks celebrated the coup, but somehow failed to receive the demonstrations that restored hugo chavez to his rightful place and it is not worth reporting. [applause] >> a brother or sister of the other story that happened some time before, february 24th, a lesson in realism, it talks about the media, what they call in spanish communication. in 1815 napoleon bonaparte escape from his prison and set off to regain the french throne. emerge the company by a steadily growing army, his formal official organ, the monitor swore that the people of france were eager to die to protect -- the paper said napoleon had sullied and raped the soil, calling him the usurper, trader, plagued, enemy of france, the fouled the land from which he had been expelled and this would be his final insanity. in the end, the kings where no one dies for him and napoleon took his seat on the phone without firing a shot. and then the same day daily went on to report the happy news of napoleon after rival in the capital has caused a sudden and unanimous outburst of joy, everyone cheering in every aisle, tears of bliss, rejoice of the return of france's hero, to his majesty. i wrote the communication. and the international community, an explanation of the sailor of all the summit meetings, summit meetings, they always say and celebrate once a week that some of these meetings and the result is always a failure. and this explanation, possible explanation, convened the cost to go -- the pheasant, the sardine, the tuna, even the turtle to crowd in the turtle who were obviously last to arrive. when all were present and accounted for, the cook explained. i have brought you here to ask what sauce would you like to be eaten with? one of the invitees respondent i don't want to be eaten at all and then the polk began eating. that is why the summit meeting failed. [applause] >> this is connected with the other one, and other experts. it is called the visitor. one day in the beginning of september in the year 2000, 189 countries, by which they committed themselves for the world's poverty and only one goal has been reached, managed to multiplied the number of experts required to take the challenging agenda. and one of those on the out -- santa domingo, belonging to those homes, and if i tell you how many chickens you have, will you give me one? he turned on his touch screen tablet computer, connected with a camera through his 3 g cellphone, and the accounting function, you have 132 chickens and he caught one. he did not leave it at that. if i tell you what your work is will you give back my chicken? okay. you are an international expert. i know it because you came without anyone calling you. you entered my chicken farm without asking permission. you told me something i already knew and then you charge me for it. [applause] >> suddenly worse, international day for the eradication of poverty. poverty does not explode like bombs or gunfire. we know everything about poor people. what they don't work at, what they don't eat, how much they don't wait, how much they don't grow, what they don't think, how often they don't go and what they don't believe in. the only thing left to learn is why poor people are for. could it be because they are noticed by their hunger? won't find against 4 people, but not against poverty. the best part of the world's richness goes on to wars and military expenses, maybe also called criminal expenses and to other ends also quite absurd that the solution is quite absurd. on world science day, a teacher -- numbers about this subject, investments on different purposes and calculated there were at best five times as much stimulants in female silicone implants as finding a cure for alzheimer's. five times more, a cure for alzheimer's. it will be equivalent to say a prophecy in a few years more we will have all women with huge teeth and all men with stiff cox but none of them will remember what they are for. [laughter and applause] [laughter] >> i i i. a lesson in theater. december 6th. on this day, december 6, 1938, the house committee on un-american activities operating out of washington questions halley senator who ran the university project. a congressman from alabama led the interrogation. referring to an article she had written he asked you are quoting from this, is he a communist? oh, she said, i am sorry, i am very sorry but i was quoting from christopher marlowe. tell us who this marlowe is so we can get a proper reference. he was the greatest dramatist immediately preceding shakespeare. of course, of course, said the senator. yes, we have some people, some of these people called communists back in the days of the greek theatre. hand she said quite true. i believe, continued the senator, i believe your these --euripides was guilty of teaching class consciousness. that was almost all of the greek dramatists and the congressman on the side, so we cannot&o cf1. december 5th half they are the work of some disciple of today's school of modern art, he insisted, confirming the suspicions of nearly all experts. 20 years later those experts admitted they were wrong. it was proven that the longing for beauty, like under and desire has always accompanied the human adventure in the world. many years before that thing we call civilization, we were turning bird bones into food and pc shells into necklaces. we were making colors by mixing rocks and plants to beautify and turn our bodies into walking things. when the spanish conquistadores arrived in veracruz they found indians walking around naked. with their bodies painted, painted to please each other and themselves. the conquistadores concluded these are the worst. this is a special lead to a poet who was my friend, my brother, made them the unforgivable. the poet -- he never learned to shut up or take orders and love them love fearlessly. [speaking spanish] >> on this day in 1975 his fellow guerrillas shot him dead while he slept. revolutionaries who killed to punish disagreement are no less criminal than generals who killed to perpetuate injustice. [applause] off to the loony bin. let me see. could sensing here. sorry. i am absent minded. also a little mentally retarded. okay. the go. new personalities, flamingos, albatrosses, penguin, buffaloes, ostrichs, koala bears and other monkeys, butterflies and other insects and many more relatives in the animal kingdom have homosexual relations, a female to male, mail to mail for an encounter or in my time. lucky for them they aren't people, humans. or they should be sent to the loony bin. until this day, may 16th, in the year 1990, 15 minutes ago in historical terms, homosexuality featured on the who's least of mental illnesses. [speaking spanish] >> these other kinds of experts that are ruling world.

[speaking spanish] >> i may read first-inning legislators spanish the same text. .. lasted many years until at last the capitol of the hispanic rebels was besieged, vanquished and burned to the ground. it remains on the field surrounded by fields of weight at the edge of. on the city that changed the wiltz calendar for governor. nothing is left. but when we've raised our glasses at midnight every december 31 we bring a toast into her. whether or not we realize it, there were would always be another year born free. [speaking spanish] [speaking spanish] [speaking spanish] thank you. [applause] >> the truly wonderful to be a real story was something important to say but a lot of it you didn't tell my favorite one. as you know in latin america we had the procession and the whole community goes out and as people watched and jesus performed in the stations of the cross and he drags the cross through town with everybody watching. >> i tell it because i know it by memory. [inaudible] >> can we have the book? >> yes, please. [applause] >> my favorite. i'm sorry. now i got its. >> it's worth waiting for. >> very recently it was a holy week. >> in the southern and spain and in 2011 during the recession a huge crowd watches in silent. but i always broke the silence seated on his fellows shoulders. he shouted at the man being with to. [speaking spanish] [laughter] two years, four months and 21 days old. [applause] >> fight back. thank you for reading that. now i read somewhere that your great fear is that we are all suffering from amnesia. is that so? >> we are in our human rainbow bet is being mutilated by the official indonesia and suppressed on the sound power before the scholars and the most shining beauty in this rain of. this has been done and through which the county of women and others. this is some sort of family amine nisha -- amnisia to prohibit and to see our possible duty and possible great mess. and so in this sense i think i write or tried to write the discovery of the human rainbow regarding the memory of a lot of women and all of black people and the indians and so many excluded from this world and some are important. in my reading today i told to stories which are a very good examples of this but there are also a lot of other stories. [inaudible] which isn't line but they included it in the book. it is a poem by a great poet from i think it is senegal. let me see where is eight. it's not mine but it's so beautiful lace all the crime -- >> [inaudible] >> what page? >> 253? >> 53. >> 53. [inaudible conversations] >> 63. >> yes, no -- 263%. [laughter] not 63, 263. [laughter] so why was not so inefficient. finally i eighth wrote it with your help of course. but it is so beautiful 263 below the dwight brother when i was born i was black. when i grew up i was black. when i am in the sun i am black. when i fall ill i am black. when i die i will be black. meanwhile, you when you were born you were pink. when you grew up he were white. when you are in the sun and you turn red. when you feel cold you turn blue. when you feel fear u-turn green. when you fall ill you turn yellow. when you die a the world will be gray. >> that is beautiful. [applause] you say that you have rescued a lot of women from oblivion. i would say that at least half of the book is about women. was this a conscious choice on your part? >> there's other books, memory tough fire line always trying to recall these voices. it's important not only because women are half of all of us but also because they are so valued and courageous and intelligent and smart, so creative but guilty of being a woman. yes, guilty of being a woman, really. nowadays that's not so terrible. we are quite as much as this. not me. [laughter] i am the only exception. [laughter] but all the other men are here. [laughter] >> i think you once said that latin america is like a woman whispering in your year, no? [laughter] latin america is a woman talking in your year. >> secrets, yes. telling me secrets. yes. >> that's a lovely picture. >> that's what i feel, yes. >> i think you must know who this is, she once said that you write like a woman. >> perhaps, yes. >> i don't know what that would mean a. >> i would say still dreams of my wife because she dreams marvelous dreams and mine are so stupid -- [laughter] that i have no choice but to steal her dreams. [laughter] because the other day i was telling the story of her dream and we were speaking -- i don't know if it was yesterday or another place that i was speaking about this sort of collective hysteria as the subject of security and how the airports have become something like hell. take off your belt, take off your shoes what is this for? no.

[laughter] and i answer perhaps yes, but i forgot it completely. you? >> i did, yes. a dream about what? >> airports. >> airports, really? >> yes. and then she told me she was reading about an airport. there was a very long line of passengers waiting. we both were in the line. each one of the passengers with a pillow under the arm the pillow used the night before. all of the pillows were sent to the machine who was able to read in sight of the palos the dreams that were dreamed the night before. it was a machine specialized in seeking dreams dangerous for national security. [laughter] and the fact is that really dreams are dangerous for the national security. [laughter] >> indeed. well, speaking of dreams, we latin-american are accused of living and magical realism. could you explain to this audience what is magical realism after all -- >> magical what? >> magical realism. [laughter] >> a way of telling that reality is real because all is magical indeed just we are trying to be blind and we cannot discover the magic inside each significant fact. i think the greatness is not in the big famous >> nope, nope. the greatness is inside the small things. the small gift that we have received from realities. it's the problem as we are blind of our beautiful rainbow we are also blind of the great mass of small things and small people. and usually it is affected in an upside-down world because we are supposed to have been here to add my ear -- at tabare admire everything that is big and spectacular and instead of looking at the little facts of each. these are for only those that have their eyes open and they can be able to see what other people cannot see because they are trained to be blind of the duty of lia's perhaps because usually beauty comes accompanied by the horrors. but i think that we are the movement and we contain -- each of us contain a helene d. and have been. and this is a matter of life. there was a sentence of my friend [inaudible] [laughter] a sentence used as an introduction in the world like an historian -- [speaking spanish] i would be said in english -- >> [speaking spanish] in history as in nature. the source of life. >> the source of light, right. >> i was sure that this was a sentence written by karl marx. but they say this in light of love and war happened to be a specialist in the works of carl marks and he told me that he couldn't find this sentence and -- [speaking spanish] so i began looking at myself in my books and i couldn't find it but i was absolutely sure that i had read that and that it was a sentence. so i answered to my translator don't worry. the sentence is a sentence but he forgot to write a. [laughter] [applause] >> i like especially what eduardo said that each of us contains a little heaven and a little hell. it's a wonderful concept. and -- >> some people think it is much bigger than this. [laughter] >> and it is a small thing like the heavens. i want to thank edward you very much for being with us tonight [applause] on book tv we want to introduce you to the director of the yale university press of john donavich. >> we are excited about a number of things. i would start by how the gardiner and katie davis. now, howard gardiner is probably one of the country's top educational psychiatrists but he has multiple intelligences which is really transformed the way that we think that education and the way that kids fail in school and college which is to say that there isn't just one aptitude and intelligence that tests well for that answer is in the conversations of classrooms. but there is a lot of intelligence, there is a lot of emotional intelligence is and this is the first person that has had a codified intelligence into a single understanding of the human mind. now for the first time in his career, its attention to the digital generation and how these kids coming have borut and ipad in their hand reading the ipad for the first time they are seeing how things are truly interactive and dynamic in the digital interface and how that changes the cognitive development and the social ability to engage and it's going to be a very ground-breaking book by a true master of how we operate in the world and here we are adapting. >> another but you have coming out this fall is at meir's ruled the world. >> benjamin is one of our leading public intellectuals to the hero a best seller a few years ago called the jihadists versus the world. this book is interesting when you take a look at the most dynamic people in our political currency right now whether it is mayor bloomberg in new york or cory robinson and newark and the celebrity mayors of the city is getting things done on a very sort of macroand microlevel and why can't the same things happen on an international or national level. why are the national policies so paralyzed? i am able to kind of move the ball or open the envelope. as we look at the start of ways in which they operate in the political sphere and try to see if that can be applied to the national skier. it's a national book but it's also international all over the world in bangkok, london, hong kong fascinating stuff to read >> and david hart has a new book. >> david hart wrote in a couple of years ago called the atheist illusions where he took a look at some of what he called the pingree 80 guests. people like christopher hitchens, daniel and richard dawkins and wondered why in this particular moment there was such hostility to religion by the public intellectuals. and in this book he really wants to get a size from the politics of all the and look across most of the nominations to the experience of how people across different states understand god has an emotional experience and a presence in their lives. and it is a gorgeous book. he's an amazing writer and a great cyclist. this is a real opportunity to just sit with a major theologian and wonder about how god has experienced across the states. very emotionally true book, spiritually rich, and i think an eye opener to be very pleased about it. >> that is a quick look at some of the books coming out by yale university press this fall. here are the best-selling hardcover nonfiction books according to publishers weekly. it does reflect the sales as of august 29th. speed talks about her experience after moving from china to oakland at the age of ten. she expected to live a better life in california. but instead of oakland to be broken city. this is about one hour and ten minutes. >> imagine being a fourth grader that left a rather isolated existence and was told about a faraway place called disneyland. she had heard exciting things about it. but she really couldn't comprehend the m
