a qualified biologist, he serves as a wild life biologist with the fish and wild life service in sacramento. they issue permits to shoot and kill birds but only after everything else has failed to scare off the birds. when dealing with a bird. we want lethal removal to the the last option t we want it to be a direct threat to human health and safety. at sfo, there s been 211 bird collisions in the last two years, up significantly. and in oakland international. 115 and where just this january, they began using live ammunition to shoot birds the faa recorded 114 collisions, down from the previous two years. and during the first month and a half of the program. wild life officers killed a dozen birds at sjc and in oakland, they report shoots less than 100 a month, or 1200 birds a year. i think there are other ways to keep birds out of the intake of jet airplanes. the faa inspector general questions of its own about the wild life mitigation program. in this report issued last august, the ig found that the faa does not oversee wild life adequately and does not conduct robust inspections and make sure that the airport is adhering to the program requirements. they have adopted the majority of the ig s recommendation and will continue to make improvements in the program. we start by eliminating the reasons that wild life want to be at the airport. he serves as spokesman and he points out that air field officers there have done everything from eliminating ponds and food sources to deploying this fake coyote dee coy and they actually want the falcons around and would not want to kill one. their presence drives away other types of birds. which raises the questions, how did this falcon end up wounded with bird shot in its wing on an sfo taxi way. we do not know how that falcon came to be injured. are there steps to make sure that the life rounds do not interfere with aircraft? that is a great question and it comes back to the fact that it s a program that is managed and certified by the faa, their number one concern is safety. so, i have every confidence that the provisions in place because they have been approved by the faa don t pose any type of safety risk. under the rules, each airport is required to track the number of times it uses lethal force to take animals. several weeks ago, we asked san francisco s airport how many times it has shot and killed birds but we have yet to hear back with numbers. we will let you know when we do. by the way, it s not just birds that pose a problem. we found collisions between airplanes and skunks at all three airports and collisions with bats, jack rabbits and even foxes at area airports. and if you have a tip for investigateive unit, give us a call. or send us an e-mail to the unit. this just in, a teenager with the mental capacity of a 3-year-old is missing in brentwood he was last seen riding a purple tricycle, he is 5 7 , 230 pounds. last seen wearing a blue t-shirt, shorts and a helmet. it s often that violent crimes catch the attention of the media but home burglaries and auto thefts have been prevalent. well, terry, good evening, there have been 130 property crimes just since the beginning of the year. and some home owners are taking matters into their own hands. i ran to pick up the kids and i was entriesed to take them to lunch and i left it here. heather left home last monday afternoon for about two hours and came home to find her house ransacked. everything pulled off. they broke this drawer, it s locked. thieves had come in through a unlocksed back door and left with electronics and $40,000 worth of jewelry. they took my wedding ring and band, my mother s wedding ring and everything piece of jewelry my father bought my mother. the burglars ransacked her 9-year-old daughters bedroom. my money was in there and now they are gone. but all my gift cards are there. this is one of the five home burglaries on the block. last year, san jose recorded the highest number of property crimes since 1995. up 30% from the previous year. and in oakland, appropriate crimes were up 24%. critics say that the police are not giving a high enough priority to property crime, which is why she bought a heavy duty safe, installed a security system and did some of her own detective works, bagging the thieves gloves as evidence, she is glad no one was hurt. if that is the gift of all of this is that i learned that and i hopefully will not have to face another situation that could be worse. and police dusted for fingerprints at her house. but so far no leads and no arrests. nbc bay area news. all right, thank you, va vel had an unusual item turned in on a gun buy back. that is among the weapons turned in. a single use, military rocket launcher. yes, a rocket launcher. the rest were guns, 113 handguns, 67 shot guns and 163 rifles. many went with through the emotional task yesterday to say goodbye to two police officers killed in theline out of duty. for the first time we heard from the firefighters who were on the scene when the bullets started to fly. we were surrounded by people with guns and shields. gary is captain of ladder truck 3170, the first crew on the scene moments after two police officers were shot and killed. the fire captain, it s not an environment that you should put your crew in. it was special circumstances. special, because the man and woman at his feet were also in uniform. something no one, not even the dispatchers told him ahead of time. we didn t know it was officers until we arrived on scene until we were physically standing next to them. at this point, the gunman was still on the loose. and when aaccused cop killer jeremie goule returned to the crime scene, it was this crew that spotted him first. the bad guy came back, circumstanti essentially, we saw him, we saw his car. they were alerted and rushed in. the crew evacuated by-standers curious about what was going on. at one point, i said, you guys need to get out of here, unless you want to get shot. and right about then the shooting started. firefighter clayton ogden was in the thick of it, instead of leaving a woman that fell to the ground, he covered her with his own body. she tried to get up, and another hail of gunfire started, so i told her to not move, so it was the safest place for us to be, on the ground. the heart breaking loss of the officers has been felt by nch. in san jose, nbc bay area news. next at 11:00, a change in the forecast and a change you need to make tonight. plus, a sign that the finish line is near on the new span of the bay bridge. also, as a parent, i m not going to let go of the hope that she is still alive. their daughter disappeared nearly year ago, tonight, how her parents are coping and why they say they are frustrated. hello?

this is a fox report. tonight, a top lawmaker baffled, saying that people who are supposed to protect us when we travel are putting lives in danger. with the new tsa policy you ll be able to get on a plane with a small knife, a hockey stick, and a couple of golf clubs. plus afghanistan s president levels an incredible charge against america. as chuck haguel makes his first trip to that country as defense secretary. a the u.s. motive ahead of the troop withdrawal. it now has the top commander in the war zone calling those words categorically false. also, the man with the republican man to get the government s fiscal house in order. we think we owe the american people a balanced budget. harris: to do that, congressman paul ryan wants to scrap one of president obama s biggest first term accomplishments. our budget does promote repealing obamacare. harris: the showdown over spending your tax dollars. and caretakers and customers at a big cat reserve left in shock after someone apparently left the gate open and a 500-pound lion walked right out and killed this woman. tonight, cat haven reopening for business. i m harris falkner. new defense secretary chuck hagel getting a crash course in a rocky relationship with afghanistan. his first official visit to the region and what a welcome from afghanistan s president hamid karzai. he s accusing our country of cooperating with the enemy to spread chaos across this country. just a little context for you here, and a reminder, not that you need it, we lost 2,170 american lives and more than 540 billion dollars spent over a decade trying to make life better for afghans with the taliban targeting any kind of help or hope we could give them during the war. the taliban of course killed countless people and previously provided safe haven for osama bin laden and today afghan president saying our military is working with the taliban. it appeared we might learn exactly why he said that. we ve known president karzai to be rather unpredictable in the past. secretary hagel was supposed to hold a joint news conference today with the afghan leader, but then it was canceled for what were said to be security reasons. the two did meet, we re told, in private. peter doocy now with the news from washington. peter? reporter: harris, afghan president hamid karzai made a sensational accusation against the united states this weekend telling a television audience he thinks the americans and the taliban have been coordinating terror attacks against civilians as recently as this week intending to show civilians how quickly the security situation on the ground will deteriorate after most u.s. troops have left the country the end of next year. they are trying to frighten us into thinking it was foreigners, were not in afghanistan we would face these sort of incidents. reporter: president karzai and visiting defense secretary chuck hagel canceled a joint press conference for security reasons, but the two met anyway and hagel says he told the afghan president his claims are false. i told the president it was not true, that the united states was unilaterally working with the talib that the states wasn t unilaterally working with the that be. and senator john bolton gave a similar explanation. as internal politics to say that the taliban and the united states are cooperating, but i think it s part of president karzai s game, he wants to look independent of the united states and independent of the taliban. secretary hagel s swing through afghanistan is nearly done and he s expected back in washington tomorrow afternoon, harris. harris: peter, thank you. we are in the final stretch, less than two days away now from the conclave to elect a new pope. cardinals celebrating mass across rome, some in private chapels and others in eternal cities and basilicas, many praying for spiritual guidance before they have to make their final decision, the conclave, set to begin on tuesday. they ll file into the sistene chapel that afternoon for their secret anonymous balloting and they ll vote until someone receives a two-thirds majority or 77 votes to become the next pope. earlier today in st. peters square it was relatively quiet the second sunday in a row with no pope appearing at the windows of the papal apartments to carry out the traditional weekly blessing. a few tourists snapping photos and taking in the mood. you can t really tell, they re just milling around and walking around, but you can tell there s an energy there. and an energy and a big decision to come. amy kellogg is live for us in rome tonight, amy? hi, harris. well, today was the probably the last day to get up close with the cardinals before they hole up in conclave. we caught up with tim dolan in new york as he was giving mass on the outskirts of rome today. he said earlier in the week the cardinals were not ready to vote and now they are and he is eeg tower gager to get it with. i m so happy to be here, i m ready to get to work and get a new pope. i m running out of socks. cardinal sean o mally of boston is gaining considerable traction with them. and he laughed off suggestions he could be the next pope saying he planned to wear the brown of his order for a lifetime. and here is what he had to say about the conclave. let us pray that the holy spirit to choose a new pope who will confirm us in our faith and meanwhile, we got a peek inside the sistene chapel this weekend, it s being transformed into a voting place for the cardinals. workmen have been running around michelangelo s famed painting, and this is rome s rapt suspense waiting for the conclave and this jeweler hoping he ll be lucky enough to make the pontiff s new coat of arms and among the speculation, the italian papers are talking about two camps in terms of the electors, not so much liberals versus conservatives, but those who are more spiritual, philosophical and those who are interested in keeping the status quo in terms of the vatican bureaucracy, harris. harris: interesting, another shift. we ve seen a few the past few days, we know there was a calling for someone to be much more evangelical as well and now we d lead up with now a new twist. amy kellogg, thank you very much. now let s go to washington and the next stage in the ongoing battle over government spending of our tax dollars. former nominee and budget house committee chairman paul ryan with a new plan to balance the ballooning budget among the billions of proposed cuts he will make public one of the largest and most controversial, will be appealing obamacare. he yes, that s the deal. s a republican from wisconsin and he says, we cannot afford obamacare. the whole thing has to go, ryan talking about it today with chris wallace on fox news sunday. we don t think health care s going to be improved in this country. we think it s going to look very ugly over the next couple of years. and that s why we re going to propose replacing obamacare with patient centered health care with a better health care system for everybody, for poor the people in the states, for medicare. and steve centanni with the news live for us in washington. steve, we have seen congressman ryan make a the lot of budget proposals and he s known for this on the hill. what about this latest one? what s in it? well, balancing the budget by 5 trillion dollars. and assumes obamacare and takes in fiscal cliff tax increases that went into effect and 715 billion dollars to cuts to medicare. here is the congressman. we think we owe the american people a balanced budget and we want to respect hard working taxpayers and we think we have a responsible plan to balance the budget. the reason we do a balanced budget not simply the numbers and it adds up. it leads to a healthy economy that creates jobs. and ryan is promoting what he calls pro growth tax reforms to bring all the rates down, harris. harris: we ve been reporting, also, steve, what some in the media are calling the president s charm offensive, rather, to try to win over republicans. what s his next move that we know about? well, he goes to capitol hill to meet with lawmakers from both sides of the aisle. last week, as you know, he had dinner with a dozen democrats, and lunch with paul ryan. some are applauding him and some are taking a wait and see attitude and some say he needs to go farther. now, the president reached out more broad had i to republicans which i think is a good thing. ultimatel ultimately, of course, everybody needs to compromise. the president needs to reach out not just to republicans, but to democrats and to ensure that he gives them the political cover to do, frankly, what most of them know needs to be done in terms of the need for us to deal with these very important, but unsustained one-time programs. reporter: on tuesday, wednesday and thursday of this week, the president goes to capitol hill for several meetings with democrats and republicans from both houses of congress. harris? steve centanni, thank you very much. former republican florida governor jeb bush opening up about growing speculation over a possible white house run in 2016. and he was speaking today on fox news sunday. governor bush says it s a little early to announce a candidacy just three months after the last election and he also downplayed concerns about the negative public opinion polls of the past bush presidency. i don t think there s any bush baggage at all. i m proud of my brother, proud of his accomplishments, i love my dad, if i decide to run for president, not something in my dna that compels me, it would be that the right thing for my family and the conditions are right and i have something to offer. harris: he we know jeb bush flirted running for president in 2008 and 2012, but declined both seems. harris: tiger woods has done it and actually looking like the old tiger woods and a ramp up to the masters next month. today a little while ago he won the cadillac championship at doral. and it was tight down to the end and i was watching with the sound down for a while. closing with a one under par 71, in the final round and more on tiger s win when pete joins us with sports. right now, a tough scene for first responders and investigators who do the tough work, finding out exactly why and how this happened. eight teenagers from the same town in one s.u.v., two of them survive, six of them are dead tonight. we re learning their vehicle veered off the road somehow, through a guardrail and into a frigid pond. more as we get it. and this airport has a reputation of being one of america s busiest. and most dangerous, because of lax security. the accusation, one whistleblower is now making about safety standards at this major transportation hub. stay close. how do you get your bounce?

pond. it happened in warren. and that s 60 miles east of cleveland. eight teenagers actually were in the vehicle between the ages of 14 and 19. and they were packed inside that honda passport, they tell us. police say it veered off the left side of the road, hit the guardrail and flipped, ending up in that body of water you saw. they since plucked it out. four people died at the scene and the others were taken to a hospital and didn t make it. the two who survived are expect today fully recover. new calls for the transportation security administration to reverse its decision allowing small knives on planes. the tsa announced the new policy this week, it takes effect next month and of course, it s about more than just knives, golf clubs, hockey sticks, baseball bats, all you can just now walk on to the plane with, or you will when it it becomes effective. they will be they were banned since the 9/11 attacks. senator charles schumer of new york is asking the tsa to reverse its decision immediately. he s baffled by it. you don t have to have a ph.d. in physics, you don t have to be albert einstein to know that these items are dangerous, this can kill someone and it was something just like this that the 9/11 hijackers used to bring their planes into the world trade cent center. harris: schumer saying, now is not the time for less vigilance. the tsa release as state. taking novelty bats and sporting equipment off the prohibited items list will allow transportation security officers to better focus their attention on higher threat items and the final decision rests with the tsa.. and new jersey s newark liberty airport after what we told thank you week, s upset about reports that an undercover federal agent managed to sneak a fake bomb inside his pants, past two security check points. the fallout, meantime, continues from that security breach as a whistleblower now is opening up with shocking representations about inept employees, useless policies and supervisors asleep at the wheel. arthel, it makes it look extremely dangerous. it sounds unbelievable. according to the whistleblower, things are really bad. in an article in the new york post, the former screener wasn t surprised by february s snn incident you reported on and charged with the task keeping americans safe. it s not a matter of if a terrorist boards a plane, but when. and screens routinely failed to meet tsa standards and employees not needing a high school diploma to get hired and half hour bathroom breaks during work and a culture of lazeness. officials maintain that despite some problems, the system has worked. and the terrorists to try to get on the planes because we ve not had anyone get on a plane successfully with explosive twices in the united states in the last 11 1/2 years, something is working, but it has to be improved. reporter: now, we ve reached out to the tsa for comment and no response yet. for the patdowns that some flyers find offensive, the former screener calls them ridiculous, saying it can t find anything using the back of your hand over certain areas of the body, harris. harris: you know, one of the things i thought was startling and you and i were talking about this in the news room, sometimes cameras are put up and they feel they have to do something because they re watched and they re not really searching anything. and according, some of those supervisors are blinking indeed. as one of the busiest airports with about 1400 tsa employees, newark has seen its fair share of incidents over the years. to name a few, in october of 2012, 25 employees were fired and 19 suspended for improperly screening baggage. in june of 2012, 18 were fired for literally sleeping on the job and in january, 2010, a terminal was shut down for six hours after a man jumped under a security rope unnoticed by the tsa and a 2012 investigation by the department of homeland security found the tsa took corrective action for security breaches at newark 42% of the time. who can forget that one of the hijacked flights on september 11th flew out of newark. united airlines flight 93 which crashed in shanksville, pennsylvania, killing the passenger and crew members on board, harris. harris: yeah, we ll never forget that. thank you. a couple murdered inside their home, their car stolen and now police say another person believed to be in the house at the time of the killings is missing. the latest details of this story as police search for who they call a killer on the loose. a mystery tonight near seattle. an elderly couple murdered in their own home. the couple s daughter discovered their bodies saturday night and called 911. police say both the 82-year-old man and 80-year-old wife had been shot. officers calling this a tense situation. and any type of situation like this we re nervous. we don t have a person in custody. we have two people deceased at the scene so absolutely we re nervous. we want to locate this car and try to get to the bottom of who is the suspect in this case. harris: and police say to complicate things, the couple s grandson, who was in the home that same night, is missing. police won t say if he s in any danger, but say he s not a suspect. a red chrysler belonging to the victims is also missing. tragedy strikes a small town when a house fires takes the lives of seven people, including five children. our first stop on this fox trip across america. kentucky, neighbors first saw smoke early in the morning and called 911. flames coming out of the window, smoke and i called them, and it s too late by then. harris: inside that home, a man, his girlfriend. her three children and two other children who had spent the night for a sleepover. this whole road that we live on, real close together: we know each other, it s just a tragedy. harris: family members saying the children were very young, ten months old to three years old. arson investigators working to find a cause and say they don t see any signs of foul play. washington, a small plane hits a house outside seattle. the pilot died at the scene, his nephew hurt, taken to a hospital. two people were inside the home at the time. they re okay. people blocks away heard it. sounded like a gunshot, really. it sounded like at first someone was shooting and when i heard that sound i kind of looked out the window and that s when i saw the part in front of the the house. harris: it s not clear why the plane crashed, but the pilot sent a distress call at that the engine failed moments before. connecticut, a group of cyclists headed for the nation s capital hoping to encourage congress to pass tougher gun control laws. called team 26. each psychist representing one of the victims of the sandy hook he elementary school shooting. one rider lost his daughter in that tragedy. i feel for those who have not experienced such a lost to look deep into their hearts and do what they think cannot be done. and their goal, capitol hill arriving

well, most of dui convicts or i m sorry, dwi convicts are young males and many are saying it s not going to prevent the sale of alcohol to them by critics. you ask private industry to now be an enforcer of a law and, you know, i d say probably ten times out of ten there will be little to no enforcement of that so it s just not going be to be practical. reporter: one other thing, adds in the same way offenders find ways to duck out of using their ignition locks, they find ways to get their hands on alcohol. it s just too easy to circumvent, they say and that s really going to be the problem. they want to get it, they get it. simple as that, harris. harris: if you look at history of the country, we ve battled over alcohol sales before not having to do with car wrecks of course, but you know, it is part of our history. people do get their hands on things anyway. reporter: yeah, that s certainly very much the case, but they re hoping at least there ll be somebody responsible in the private sector being for example, those who do sell liquor who make a attempt not to sell alcohol to those they know they shouldn t. harris: we ll see what happens there. dominic di-natale, thank you very much. a cheating scandal rocking one university in the country. why harvard administrators went too far and even violating the privacy of some of the school s deans. and the proud american farmer, unformtunatel unfortunately, many are struggling. in one part of the country business is booming not because of the crops, but what s under them. michael, tell us why you used to book this fabulous hotel?

north korea says they are cutting their hot line with the south and will be canceling the non-aggressive acts. they have impose new sanctions in response to a third nuclear bomb test. we have more from the capital of seal. seoul. exchanger verbal fire has become more intense. the broad was sparked when the u.n. security council unanimously passed the resolution of harsher sanctions on p yongyang. visited the front line troops last time they exchanged a lot of fire when four south koreans had killed. they said to be prepared for evacuation. he said they would be ready for all-out war. the south korean government expressed regret when they cut a hot line between the two nations. they vowed action if they did anything to endanger south korean lives. there were several closed-door meetings. these threats are nothing new. they re facing an early test after just two weeks in office. some feel there s a wider office of these threats from north korea. they re trying to intimidate the international community across the board to crack or cave in to their rhetoric. they think they have greater they can winhat this game. any prerogative moves by north korea that could draw a response, they have created no- fly and no sales zones. on monday, when the u.s. and u.s. korea resumed military exercises, something north korea has called a staging for war, they said it could turn into punishment mode if his army in any way target south of the border. china has influence with north korea never responded showing both sides to show restraint. china calling on the relevant parties to be called an exercise restraint of what avoiding any further of escalation and. we call on all parties to continue the dialogue and solve the issue of the denuclearization in the six- party talks. he says the region has become used to the north-career and rhetoric. before many,his many times. not making much difference. this did so in 1996. they did so in 2003. they09, they even declared were going to a state of war with united states and south korea. essentially they declared war on the united states four years ago and no one paid attention. they probably did not even notice. it appears interesting if you re not used to it. the people in sold don t care much. delayed canyon results could delayed kenyan results could be announced soon. the heartnairobi in of where the count is taking place. still no final numbers. where are we out? doing somejust been tallying of the latest figures that have announced. hit 5kenyatta has just million. he has 5,004,406 votes to raila 4 million. obviously, those numbers are fairly wide apart. this is an election in which odinga can beat kenyatta. we re looking to see if there will be a runoff. he has a few tenths of 1% underneath the 50% he needs to take this in the first round. we still have about 50 constituencies to declare in this election. that s enough to swing this either way. it is still too close to call to say we will go to a runoff vote or not. the other key question is the role that the rejected votes will play in this. if they are included, then the numbers and percentages will come down for everyone and that means we re more likely to go to .unoff if they are rejected it was it will be more likely they would get this in the first round. the questions over the rejected votes and the fact of both sides are saying there have been problems with the voting process and officials are saying that the whole vote could have been arranged. are people going to except the outcome is announced? a lot of this hinges on the credibility of the election committee and the commission mining this whole thing. but the parties are really able to undermine the credibility and they go through damaging court battles and we see this whole , ing is fought out in courts think confidence will start to wane. what has been really impressive through this whole election has been the robustness of public confidence, not just in the election commission, but also the credibility of the ability of the courts to solve these problems. it is not guaranteed, of course. we saw a similar situation when we saw these disputes really eroding public confidence. so far, they have held strong. it s a really good sign for the next few days as we see these results go out and we see these reactions emerging. when you speak to people, are they happy with the way it has gone? are they confident about the future? the think about the trouble or is behind them? is that still a very real worry here? but the turnout was huge. that is a strong and solid indication of just how much people want this thing to work. there is confidence in the system, but people are growing impatient. everyone is saying we have had enough. it s gone on for too long. we need a result. we have seen it in massive degrading and confidence. the way the vote has gone up so long seems to be along the tribal, ethnic lines. this is an election that is the first time we re seeing this for the new constitution. there are all sorts of new political dynamics at play here and we need to appreciate that. we need to understand that it will take time for kenyans to get used to this new constitution and. so far, the signs are very strong. it is not guaranteed we would get out of this without trouble. but encouraging. thank you for that very much indeed. updating us on the latest in nairobi. leaders across latin america and beyond writing in venezuela for hugo chavezneral of ahmadinejad. put ondy will be permanent display in a military museum.

the military academy, he lays dressed in his impeccable uniform and beret. he looked very circassian. you would have thought he was emaciated, but it was his same imposing face. even in death, he

want to see our president. he is not dead. he is here in everyone of us. we want to see our president, even if he is dead physically. it was clear there would not be enough time to put his funeral up for all to see, prompting the government to change plans. after the funeral, his casket will remain here for least another seven days to give everyone a chance to say goodbye. after that, he will be moved to the historic military museum. it was the place that the then a lieutenant colonel used as his military base to launch a failed military coup against the venezuelan government in 1990.

to virginia and some scrufffi looking individual shoved a pamphlet at me, kind of like you had no choice but to take it and you and i are old enough to remember mimeograph, the ink came off on my hands and i was getting annoyed but i looked at it, and it said, el salvador, another vietnam. my first protest was against vietnam, and so when i saw el salvador compared to vietnam, i was interested. i ended up going to a meeting, and i volunteered, shoving those same mimeograph sk ed pamphlets into people s hands trying to elingt people. who handed out those pamphlets? the committee for solidarity with the people of el salvador, i worked with them for a few months, but then i thought since the reagan administration was taking a regional approach to south america, i thought their approach should be regional and they disagreed. where did the money come from? i wasn t paid. but for the organization? i think it was all donations. but i m not sure, i was just a volunteer. who cared about el salvador back then? reagan, if you remember, was drawing the line against communism anywhere he could and in his view, nicaragua was a communist state, cuba is a never-ending thorn in the side of american politics and salvador, the revolutionary movement had a rhythm after several elections in a row were overthrown and on the reagan side they wanted to draw the line against communism and it was in central america. i was a hippie out of the 1960 s and 1970 s, as i said, my first protest was vietnam. when i learned again that the u.s. was intervening in the internal politics of countries that should not matter to the united states in those terms, it brought up my frustrations about the vietnam war and the civil rights movement, the re-emergence of the women s movement and made me realize that i really believed i had to to something to try to shift u.s. policy. i want to ask you a question that you ve never been asked before. sure. what impact did the nobel peace prize have on you? it was certainly a fabulous tool for my work. you haven t been asked that before, have you? never. never. i received it individually but also the international campaign to ban land mines which i was founding coordinator of also received it. i believe the work of that campaign as the engine, the push to push government to do what they should have done anyway, ban land mines, deserves recognition. what year? it was in 1997. go back to 1997. sure. when was the first time after you received this award that you said, oh, my goodness. this matters to people. the noble prize the nobel rise? yeah. and how did you see it? you know, i hadn t ever really thought about it much except a woman i knew from central america had received it in the early 1990 s, a mayan indian who had been involved in the struggle, many of her family members were killed. and the person responsible for a all of that is now standing trial for crimes against humanity, which is amazing. but i didn t think about it much. i think the intervention of internet and all of that has made an understanding of the peace prize more accessible than it was. i never really thought about it. then all of a sudden, this thing happens, all of a sud, people who would talk to anyone in the campaign before only wanted to talk to me. i found it intrusive. i found it very disturbing. i thought it was demeaning to my colleagues in the campaign. we were all working together and why i was all of a sudden was my voice the only one they wanted to hear? so i had a very hard time, actually, adjusting to the prize. it took me five or six years. what did you do to adjust? i spent quite a few years very confused, to be quite honest, when i would go home after speaking, sometimes i would just cry in frustration and confusion. i knew about land mines, i knew about building a campaign, i knew about building a global coalition to bring about change. but that doesn t mean that suddenly you re mother theresa, that you re saintly, that, you know, you can answer anything in the world by virtue of this wisdom that falls upon you with the peace price, that s absurd. who picks it? it s a committee of five in norway. i think their term in office or whatever is about five years and they can serve on the committee two terms in a row. those phi people plus the secretary of the nobel committee there. there are nominations made every year, at the beginning of the year, they have to be in by february 1. then the committee meets, i think five times in the year rm i learned these things after i met the committee, of course. and i liked the ones that, you know, i met. then they meet about five times a year. and the first meeting is to just discard all the ridiculous nominations. some truly are absurd. then they start to narrow it down to nominations that they think have some merit and they hand them out to researchers. who nominated you? lots of people. we found out after the fact, one person i do know who nominated me and the campaign was congressman jim mcgovern of massachusetts. he and jill smoke lee joe smoke lee, the late joe mokley, had been strong supporters of our work in el salvador. i knew him personally as a congressperson and whenever we were having trouble, they were always there. you know. i have a great affection for him. back in 1997 when the announcement came out, were you anticipating it? we knew we were front runners. how did you know? we knew beed been nominated. mcgovern wasn t the only one, there was a woman from sweden who i think at the time was the head of their foreign relations committee, she had nominated us. then i heard later that others had as well. and when we were in norway negotiating the treaty, which was in september of 1997 was the last phase of the negotiation of the mine ban treaty, journalists started coming up to us and saying how do you feel abouting if being a frontrunner and our response was, we re not here to discuss the peace prize. we ve got a picture we ll put on the screen, where is that picture? you can see it back there. that s my house in vermont. that s the morning that we received the call. and about 4:00 in the morning. my now husband and i were in bed, we had just celebrated the night before, my 47th birthday with my family. and all of a sudden the phone rings and the guy says, in a nor bee january accent that he was from norwegian television and he wanted to know where i d be in 40 minutes. and i wanted to swear at him actually, what the hell? and i said, i m in bed, i ll be here. he called back and then he said, i ve been authorized to tell you that jody williams and the international campaign to ban land mines is receiving the nobel peace prize for 1997. it was stunning. i jumped up and pulled on the same clothes that we had on the day i d had on the day before. i had this hideous vision of some photo journalist out in a tree in my yard with a telephoto lens, you know, i wanted clothes on. and i didn t want photos that people would be screaming but put your clothes on. so just pulled on what i had by the bed and went downstairs and there were already five journalists sitting on the stoop and it was 5:00 a.m. i invited them in, gave them coffee, we started talking and they were the last ones i let in the house that day. i want to show some video of you from a documentary, you and me, you were interviewed by horowitz. this shows a different side of jody williams. sure. the report cannot be considered comprehensive, objective, authentic, and accurate and suffers from the lack of credibility. my last point is on credibility, it s not about ours, it s ability yours. the world hung its head in shame and said never again, too many of us have lost hope that never again seems to have no applicability whatsoever in darfur. when will the world hang its head in shame again and our job is to attempt to try to alleviate the suffering of the people of darfur who are being raped, pillaged, and burned while political wrangling goes on here in the hallowed halls of the united nations. thank you. there are 20 or 30 recommendations and one was implemented. not a great batting average. correct. the reason they send one is not because they particularly care about the report or tar fur they did it because they have to show the council does something or it won t continue to exist. horowitz s take wasn t very popular. that s the first time i ve seen that tape. i don t generally watch myself. it s too easy to second-guess what you might have said, could have said, should have said. i have great dismay about the human rights commission which is what i was reporting on darfur. there are other parts of the u.n. i have problems with. but there are some wonderful human beings in the united nations that are trying really hard to make a difference. you know, the body didn t exist, some body should exist like it. i think it is in desperate need of reform. i think that the security council as it stands now is a ridiculous throwback to the cold war. i don t think it reflects, you know, the power and the powerful emerging economies and militaries if you will in today s world. particularly the human rights commission. i have no respect whatsoever. put this in context from your perspective. recently when the state of the union message was delivered by the president of the united states and the answer on the other side or another point of view was given, they ended, at some point in the speech they said, the united states is the greatest country in the history of the world. some people believe that. what about you? i believe the united states has many fantastic qualities. i do believe that maybe many people have the possibility of pulling themselves up by the boot straps, i think every year that is less and less and les probable. but the united states especially in foreign policy, which is what i ve worked on for years and year, is not a great nation. it s an interventionist state, it s extremely afwressive militarily. we mess with other people s politics in ways that i can t imagine americans tolerating. imagine if some country invaded us to bring their system of government the way we did in iraq, for example. can you imagine americans sitting there and thinking that s ok? and yet somehow we still in this country have a myth that people are thrilled when we invade them. that s insane. i believe 99% of the time, we create new enemies and i think especially now with the drone warfare going on under mr. obama, which is much worse than under bush, which i never expected, i think we re creating new enemies for the future. what did you think of president obama getting the nobel peace prize? well, i said this before in public so i don t have a problem saying it again. i don t think it was his problem so to speak, i think the committee made a gross error of judgment. he has not done anything to deserve it at that point in time and the terms of nobel s will are quite clear that it should go to a person who in any given year has done, you know, has given great service to disengage armies or held a global peace conference to bring about change. mr. obama at that time had done nothing of that sort. in fact, he was engaged in two wars which i thought no matter what he had done if you re a sitting head of state engaged in war how can you get the nobel peace prize. when he came out of the white house and said he didn t think he deserved it, i was ready to clap. i thought that was outstanding. i would have clapped if he had then said therefore i cannot accept it at this time. i think that s what he should have done. what do you think of al gore getting the nobel peace prize? you know, i think that the environment is a critical part of security and peace. i think people understand it that way better than they used to, you know, what the elements of sustainable peace are, not just the absence of armed conflict. it s many, many different el 789s. i think we definitely are seeing global warming and climate change and it s displacing populations, causing new myfwrations and now conflicts. so i think it s a worthy recognition. there there are many who are agitated that the committee keeps sort of expanding the vision of what peace is. there are some who are very adamant that it should be strictly limited to those who really deal with armies and war, not, you know, peace more broadly defined. i m somewhere in the middle. i have a book on my lap, your picture son the cover, a title of it is my name is jody williams: a vermont girl s winding path to the nobel peace prize. why did you want us to know all of this about your personal life? i have a problem with the idealizing of human beings. the glorification, deify case in some defy case in some deification in some ways. we use the example of martin luther king, because we know him here in the united states but he was a human being like any other human being. he had his strengths, his weaknesses, his flaws. martin luther king was certainly an amazing leader but he there were thousands and millions of people also in that struggle. this is this kind of goes back to what i was saying in the beginning of our discussion that in the land mine campaign we were thousands of millions and if everybody saw us as the same, suddenly i get the peace prize and they only want to talk to me. when martin luther king became martin luther king and is now a monument on the mall, which i think he deserves, that s not the issue, but suddenly that individual or mandela or the dalai lama who is in a category of his own since he is sort of god, what normal human being, what ordinary person can ever believe that they could accomplish leadership like that? and i think that does a huge disservice to both the possibility of change and to ordinary people recognizing that we each have power and we can with all our flaw well, can contribute to change. i m flawed. early in the book, you tell us about brother steve. where is steve today? my brother has always lived with my parents, except for two times he was institutionalized, one i write about in the book because he was so violent we were concerned he would kill a family member or himself. but he s still living with my mom in environment. still. did you ask him before you wrote this about him? no. why not? i didn t ask anybody s permission. this is my perception of my life. i didn t ask my mom, she was very nervous and i promised her i wouldn t say anything that would, you know, make her friends make fun of her or whatever. new york i didn t ask permission. not of bobby mueller who hired me to do the land mine campaign, nobody from el salvador, i didn t ask permission. it s my view of the things in my life that affected me that made me very, very human but also made me determined to try to help everybody in the world, including myself. i m not a saint. what did you tell us in the book about your brother steve? he was born deaf in 1947, a time when the philosophy of teaching the deaf was to force them into the hearing world. which meant that we were not taught sign. which meant that at the dinner table, for example, pretty much all we could say to him was pass the salt, you know things you could point at. it meant that he was really not involved in daily conversations because we had very rudimentary, homemade it also meant that as he became more and more ill with what we finally understood to be schizophrenia, there was no real way to talk to him about what he was feeling. so he would just get brutally angry. if i think about it too much, and i think i write that in the book, i have a really hard time. you have a hard time just thinking about my brother s life. it s sort of a life not lived. he s extremely smart, as mr. schizophrenics are. but his life was so truncated at first by the lack of communication, then schizophrenia, i just, you know but you paint a picture of him with a knife in his hand. did you ever think he was actually going to kill somebody? i was scared as hell when my mom and i ran out of the house. i don t know. you know. it was worse later, actually. the part that i didn t write about because by then i was in central america and land mines, my parents tried at one point to get him in the in assisted living and it was at the insistence of my sisters, my other brother, myself, you know, when you die, if he isn t capable of managing life, what are we going to do? they tried it with a they tried, it was a total fiasco. he started threatening neighbors, you know. so that did not work. he had to be institutionalized again, i think, for another year. then he came back home to mom and dad, finally, after that, he was correctly diagnosed and got medication. so you know, he s a pair noid schizophrenic. you group up grew up where? i was born in the big metropolis of poltney, vermont, midway up the state near new york. then we moved to brattle bro, vermont to brattleboro, vermont, we went there so my brother could go to the school for the deaf. and mom and dad did what? my mom, well was a mother of, at that point, right after we moved, five children my father did a variety of jobs. he had owned his own grocery store in poltney that he had to sell to move. and he ended up getting a job as a traveling salesman with general electric. so he would go out for the whole week and my mom would be left home, at that point with, tissue at that point, we were four, four kids. and she had no break, no car, she had a nervous breakdown and my dad had to quit traveling. he worked for a vending company, ultimately he bought that and mom came back from laying in bed for a year essentially. what politics did they follow? democrat. my father was extremely anti-republican. viewing it as the party of the rich. the party that didn t care about the needs of how i describe my family is living on the rough edges of the middle class. very rough edges. and my father was treated like dirt by people in the depression who were handing out the government money. i don t know, i can t remember what it was called then, to support people who had no work and they happened to be republicans and my father despised republicans. at least the party. he wasn t irrational totally but he despised the party and had no room for anyone who didn t understand that there was structural, you know, inequality and structural reasons for poverty so he was pretty outspoken about that. i think i got a lot of my dad. you say you walked awhat fre away from the catholic church. what year? i was 17 years old. why? i, you know, i have a hard time with being told that i have to accept something on faith even though my reason doesn t just can t go there. for example, i had to take catechism, like many catholics who didn t go to catholic school. when i got into my teens i started asking the priest about intention. you know, you have to intend to sin in order to sin. in theory. soy so i said to him, why is birth control a mortal sin, which means if you die you go to hell, and the rhythm method ok? when in both instances you were intending to avoid pregnancy. to me that s totally logical. why is the pill bad, other ways ok? and he the answer was typical of the church that you, you know, you have to accept what god gives you. my thought was if god wants to give you a baby, a little pill isn t going to get in his way. so we fought about that a lot, a lot, a lot. and my other one was the infallibility of the pope. i thought it was patently absurd. how could the pope be infallible when some had had babies. when up until i think like the 12th or 13th century, i m not quite sure of the date, priests could marry. and then all of a sudden they had to be celibate, they couldn t marry, it had nothing to do with suddenly the pope hearing from god they couldn t marry, it had to do with property. where are you in your religious life today? that makes me laugh. archbishop tutu and i have had some discourse on that. he kind of wants to convert me in a way. he s very sweet, i love him. on the other hand, his holiness the dalai lama and i were at an event together in hiroshima and he is very amusing. helenes over to me and he says, jody, scientists believe that buddhism is really atheism. so i said, oh, my god, i must be a buddhist. and he said the reason is because buddhists don t believe in god. they believe that, you know, every human being has the possibility of, you know, being great. being energy. all the good things that christians or muslims or hindus are supposed to be. because of their religion. 1998, here you are with the dalai lama. yeah. one of my closest friends had an extremely unpleasant encounter with two men who i wish i could call gentlemen who left her beaten and naked in the street. for many years i had the greatest hope that i would run into them sometime and do the same to them or worse. then i got involved in trying to stop the violence in central america and watched what s happened to people over time who only sought violent revenge against people who have done things to them or people they love. you become them. where are you there? i think it was university of virginia. i think there were 11 of us peace laureates invited to a conference at the university of virginia. that was my first encounter with the dalai lama. how do the peace laureates talk to one another that might be different than the ordinary person? when i m i don t know. i know how i talk to them. but i mean you get an entree to people you wouldn t otherwise. oh, sure. well that s one reason why in 2006, six women, nobel peace laureates came together and created the nobel women s initiative. didn t you lead that? i have played a large role in fund raising for it. why do you want to separate men from women? it s not separating. the problem in today s world, as we are all too aware, is that women are still unequal. i would even argue we re not equal in the united states in many ways. if you look at the number of women in the senate, in the house, or on corporate boards. but globally, women are less than unequal. and we believe that by coming together as women and using the peace process to, you know, highlight the work of women around the world working for sustainable peace with justice and equality, we could, you know, maybe lift lift up is terrible. we could help women everywhere make change which is good for us all. it isn t that we want to be men or think men are awful. there are awful women, there are awful men. but it is irrefutable that women suffer more in this world. violence against women is a global pandemic. which is one of the reasons why we spearheaded an international campaign to stop race and gender violence and conflict. just like in the land mine campaign, bringing organizations together because together we have a better chance at changing the world. and it wasn t to exclude men. but i point this out all the time. in the history at the time,s we in the history since we established the nobel peace initiative, there have been 12 women. something like 90 men. there s never been a nobel s nobel men s initiative. they have never come together. i think it s indicative of how women tend, not always, but how we tend to think about how we together, you know, can make a difference. and i have to be, you know, totally honest, after the nobel women s initiative, i really, really became happy that i had the peace prize. i feel now not only is it a tool for my work but i m sharing it with women all over the world. it makes sense to me now. you have lived for, you know, more than a couple of days, in what places? in other words you lived in environment for how many years? 25. i didn t leave until i was 25 years old. i thought i would never leave vermont. went to the university of vermont? yes. studied what? psychology after switching my major five times because immaterialed to be everything and nothing. how many times have you been married? bruce is my second husband. i was married for a minute to my high school sweetheart, we shouldn t have married. i didn t love him by the time we married. didn t realize i could jest get an apartment and get a job. i was afraid, i got married. thraud? claude? yes. what does he think about it now that he s mentioned here? he is ok with it. he s not a bad guy, we were wrong. he is married, i m trying to think, the last i knew, i was trying to figure out how old his son is, i think 25. exactly how long were you married? three years. ok, let s go back to the first question, vermont for 25 years and then where else have you lived? i lived in mexico for two, then i came to washington, d.c. because i wanted to do international work and washington was international. i did not have an idea of what it meant to do international work. i lived, you know, i refused to move to nicaragua when i was working on nicaraguan hunger. i refused to move to salvador but i spent months in each country over a period of years so i felt like i knew them quite well. where else? anywhere else? that s it. you live now where? in fredericksburg, virginia, and westminster, vest vermont. you talked about coming to washington, what we re going to show next is a piece of washington and it will give you an opportunity to discuss something that is near and dear to your heart. s the state department spokesman. this administration took a policy review and we decided that our land mine policy remains in effect. why? why? i think we re one of only two nations, somalia is about to sign it, right? so we re going to be the only nation in the whole world who doesn t believe in banning land mines. why is that? i m not sure about that. we had a policy review and we determined that we would not be able to meet our national defense needs nor our security commitments to our friends and allies if we signed the convention. ian kelly in 2009. what was he saying there and how did that impact you? i wished i could say i was shocked, shocked, shocked. i m not. this is the obama administration. i know. i know. what s he saying? he s saying they re not going to sign the mine ban treaty that u.s. national security depends on the anti-personnel land mines. the hypocrisy of that is outstanding to me because the united states has not exported anti-personnel land mines since 1992. we haven t used them the first gulf war, 1991. we haven t produced them since the mid 1990 s. we ve destroyed millions of our stockpile. in other words, we are obeying the mine ban treaty. why the hell do they continue to refuse to join the treaty? let me i ll get back to that but we didn t sign the kyoto treaty. we don t like the fact that there s an international court of law, all of that. what is it about this country that when these kind of things come up, they say no? i think we re the only no, we re not the only. but george w. bush unsigned a treaty, one of the nuclear treaties. the united states believes it s exceptional, meaning everybody except us. meaning that if other nations can be bound by treaties, that s great. you know, it restricts what they can do. but since the united states considers itself to be the guarantor of freedom and, you know, freedom, security, etc., they want to believe that they need to be able to do anything they want in order to, you know, keep us all safe. what are the numbers now about land mines and since you ve been involved in it, how many have gone away, how much money is spent, who is selling them around the world? goodness. i should have looked that up. i haven t worked on the campaign on a daily basis since early 2000 s, but i can tell you that there are now 161 nations that are part of the treaty. all of the western hemmings fear, except the united states and cuba, all of nato, except the united states, which is totally mind-boggling, especially when the u.s. says it needs land mines to protect its allies. there have been no recorded sales of land mines since the treaty. even cupries like china and russia, which have not signed, have stopped producing land mines for export. recognizing the humanitarian concern. how many are still out there? nobody knows. in the early days, the u.n. kind of pulled a figure out of the air and said there were 100 million in the ground. nobody knows how many there really were. no one is quite sure how many there at there are at this point. however, stockpiles have been destroyed, that will never be in the ground. i think we re up to like 60 million land mines have been destoyed from stockpiles that will never be in the ground. 20 countries have now declared themselves mine free, meaning their national demeaning programs have gotten all the mines they could find. that doesn t mean there won t randomly be a mine that s inevitable. as i said there s been no major exporting of mines. i think my husband, who is the chair of the land mine campaign said that only about a dozen countries retain the right to produce mines but something like flee like three might be producing. how many people die a day? there used to be 20,000 people affected every year, we re now down to 4,000. that s still too many. and where are they dying of land mines? afghanistan, cambodia, angola, croatia. colombia. the farc lays mines. the farc is where? the revolutionary forces in columbia colombia that have been battling the government for 50 years. in the beginning when you got involved in this with paid the bills? i was asked to create the campaign by the vietnam veterans of america association under bobby mueller, their president. they paid my salary. i helped raise money for my salary. who funded them? the u.s. government funded some of their work in cambodia. foundations, individual donors like most nongovernmental organizations. toughest part of your effort to ban land mines? i always say that it was so easy compared to stram america that i can t find difficult but that s too glossy a picture, i guess. i think when the c.c.w., convention on conventional weapons, which came about after the vietnam war and tied to control things like napalm, land mines, but did not ban them, so we used that treaty as a tool in the first couple of years of the land mine campaign, an organizing tool. getting nongovernmental organizations in different countries involved, pressing their government to amend that treaty to ban land mines and they wouldn t. so for two and a half years we were there pushing and screaming and shoing at all the meetings they had and they did not change that treaty. and if the canadian government had not come out of that experience dedicated to the belief that within one year we could negotiate a mine ban treaty, which they challenged the world to do in ottawa in ock of 1996, we in october of 1996, we wouldn t have a treaty. that was one of those moments that, if they hadn t, i m not sure what would have happened. at the same time we didn t know they were going to do it until they did it, the day they did it. so i don t know. if somebody wanted to get an example of a genuine, card-carrying liberal, are you it? i think i m to the left of liberal. and what can you give us some markers there, what makes somebody a liberal? we had this debate on this network. i m not sure i can say what makes a liberal. i san say what motivates me. fine. i am burning with righteous indignation at injustice. i was at a woman s peace conference in santa fe years ago, i tend to get highly impassioned when i speak and during the question and answer period a woman in the back, you know, raised her hand and said, jody williams, how can you be working for peace when you re so angry? you know, can you be an angry person and really be working for peace? my response was, you know, i m not angry. angry is like if somebody bugs me and i scream at them or i stub my toe because i m the clumsiest human on the planet and get mad at the table. i am full of righteous indignation. i m angry at injustice. let me interrupt just a second. what s the difference between your righteous indignation and george herbert walker bush and george w. bush both involved in the iraqi situation, weren t they righteously indignant about the injustice of saddam hussein going to kuwait? that might be a justifiable intervention. mr. bush the second s intervention, i believe along with many other people in the world, that that was an inlegal an illegal invasion. we disrupted the lives of how many people? how many did we kill there? both on purpose and collateral damage? and look at the state of that country now. but wouldn t you violate the law if you were righteously indignant about what this country was doing? i haven t. wouldn t you lay down in the middle of the street to stop traffic? i would be involved in nonviolent protests, yes. my first arrest actually was outside the south african embassy in the apartheid period when the organizations were coordinating mass arrests on a daily basis, you know. i got arrested then. my sister, nobel peace laureate laurie mcguire of ireland was arrested and myself and everies were arrested in lafayette park when mr. bush decided to invade iraq. i believe in nonviolent protests. i believe that is my right under the constitution. i did not pick up a gun and use that to indicate my righteous indignation at inswrussties. anybody in your family own guns? my brother has been a hunter since he was 12. steve or he other one? good god, no. no. my schizophrenic brother s guns were locked away so he couldn t get to them. do you talk to your brother about the guns? sure. whappings between the two of you? what s his politics? in the early days i went rabid about it. when i was younger i was very oh, i was a little more lacking in sympathy. for lack of a better way of putting it. we used to fight about it. but he has helped me understand that for hunters like himself, he hunts whenever he can, but he cleans his own animals, he eats all the meat he hunts. he s not a how does he call them. he s not a trophy hunter, he s not a dirty hunter, is what he calls them, the ones that go out in the night and shine lights in the eyes of an animal so they can stun it and kill it. i think he s mellowed, you know. i don t have a problem necessarily with guns, but i have a problem with unregulated yution of you know, the ability of anyone and their brother to acquire as many guns as they want. certainly my brother would never hunt an animal with a semiautomatic weapon that would blast its to blast it to pieces. so i think we have more sane conversations these days. in your boobling, you tell us the exact moment when you i don t know, how to put this. but when you decided you were attracted physically to your now husband. goose. his name is steve goose. and heast called goose throughout your book. we met banning land mines. he was married at the time. three children. so this is one of the things that i talked about not being a saint. i m a normal human being. we were friends and colleagues and we fell in love. and it was very painful. the separation from his family was very painful. with the kids it was very painful. he tried to go home several times and every time i said go, go. tell us about the moment, the exact moment. the moment was when i was mentioning the convention on conventional weapons that treaty we were unsuccessful in getting amended to ban land mines. two and a half years the campaign had been there, pushing, as i said, yelling, screaming, doing antics, building fake land mine fields for the diplomats to walk across and they would step on a sensor and it would blow up, trying to bring the mines to them. we didn t succeed. and in fact, the treaty was made weaker, so we re done. two and a half years in geneva. in and out all the time. but we re packing up the office and all the campaigners are going down to this pub, pickwick pub in geneva, they went all the time, i didn t go, i didn t like the smoke and the people that much. not the people themselves but i m a loner so i tend to go to my room and lay down and read that night i decided to go. and we were at the pub and i usually sneak out because i hate good-bye so i was sneaking out to go to the hotel, i had a very early plane the next day back to vermont and all of a sudden steve fwoose was beside me and we were walking back to the hotel, campaigners tended to stay in the same hotel. we get to the frovent door and we hear a voice above us and it s our friend susan, who had been working on the campaign for years with handicap international out of france. she is holding a bottle of wine. you know, being ridiculous, we went upstairs and had more wine. susan, sorry, susan, susan fell over on the bed laid down gently on the bed and the next thing we knew she was snoring. all of a sudden, goose and i kissed. it wasn t premeditated, but we kissed. it was like, oh my god. oh, my god. it was too late. i rushed to get on my airplane and it was one of these things where you think, you know, we d had too much to drink, it was a stupid thing, let s forget about that. two days later, he called me, on a sunday, from his house. and we never talked outside of work time. and it was the most awkward conversation, i can be the can t even remember what was said. it lasted about 45 seconds. but that was when i knew that something that something was happening, that i wasn t sure what to do with. how did his wife find out? he told her. what was her reaction? you can imagine. fury. she locked him out of the house. but he went back. he tried. many times. i moved back to vermont. did you two have an agreement that you wouldn t talk? who? you and goose. several time he is tried to go home while we were living together. we talked about it. it was very upsetting for all of us. then it got really to be too much. two years later, 1999. and he and i and i said go. go back home. i will move we were renting a house in alexandria at that point. here in virginia. yes. i said i ll go back to vermont. so i packed up my u-haul, rented one, packed it up, left the house intact for him. i thought he s in bad shape. i m not going to denude the house and leave him sleeping on a mattress on the floor. and my dog and i and my sister drove to vermont. i spent i think the first 10 days on the floor weeping in my pajamas. i m being me lo dramatic but it was melodramatic but it was pretty sad. i we were not communicating. i said you can t really be trying with your wife if we re communicating. that, you know, obviously doesn t work. and i decide a couple of weeks later to go out to california to see friends. and i got an email. and i was angry. you know, why are you emailing me? what are you trying to do? make sure i m in pain? yeah, i m in pain. then he called me. and i told him i was thinking about moving out to l.a. i was going to stay with my friend. she had lost her husband to lung cancer and she was a mess, i was a mess, we figured we d be great roommates. that kind of freaked goose out. we worked it out and i came back and mar rismed we got married. how is it working out? he s awesome. he s societyly awesome. we moved, you he s totally awesome. even with the difficulty, we moved to fredericksburg on february 1, 2001. we still live there. five minutes from his kids so he could be with his kids and they could be with him. because it wasn t about the kids. it was, you know, it sounds dumb but people grow apart in relationships and if they don t really work at them all of a sudden you wake up and how kid you get here? let me go back to a question i asked you earlier. why do you think anybody wants you to know this about a nobel peace prize winner. know which? that or everything i put in the book? everything you put in the book. and there s a lot of personal stuff. sure. i mean i could have written some glossy ridiculousness, pretended i was close to perfect who wanned you to to perfect. who wanted you to write this book? i wanted to. i wanted to. i want people to understand there s nothing magic about making the world a better place. get up off your butt and participate. did goose read this before you of course. before i even wrote the painful part about our relationship, we talked about it. was he concerned about the kids reading this? well, yeah. they re now in their mid 20 s, you know. what do they think of you? they hated my guts, of course. still? no. no. when they started coming around the house, i said i never wanted kids. first of all. i knew at 13 i did not want children. so i ended up with a guy who, by the way, is hard of hearing, and had three kids. and so when they first came to the house, you know, i said to them, you don t have to like me, i do not have to like you. however, we will be polite to each other in this house. and when you re obnoxious and i can t take it anymore, i will leave you with your dad and go off to my bedroom and shut the door and read which i d probably rather be doing anyway. i didn t do it for shock value, i really meant it. when they drove me nuts, i d go up to my room and shut the door and read. i didn t do it to confuse them, i didn t want to be near them. over time they couldn t believe i didn t want to somehow pretend i was their mother. i m not their mother. we re very close. here s some video. last voork only 30 seconds. that s fine. something you said in 2007. so you end the soviet union, end the threat of communism, how are you going to justify the military expenditure of the united states of america unless you have a global entity of similar scope? you have to have something big enough, scary enough, evil enough to justify continuing the game. i m sorry, but part of it is a game. part of it is real. i m no utopian. just because you win the nobel peace prize doesn t mean you become mother theresa and you don t believe that sometimes the use of force is necessary. when is the use of force necessary? for self-defense only. and i do not buy the argument that extra judicial execution by drones which under international law is murder is self-defense. the liberals in this country went, they get very angry with george w. bush about the whole war. why are they not angry with barack obama. many of us are. but not have more. but not very many. i think there s not much coverage of it. in the same way there was against mr. bush. why is that? liberal media. i m joking. i don t know. if i knew, you know, maybe i could change the world more quickly. i don t know. but i don t think the coverage is there. i think for many people because obama was so different from bush in many ways, there s a lack of desire to analyze and critique his policies the same way one would mr. bush. i, on the other hand, believe that i don t care who the president is, i don t care what his party is, i care what his policies are. and if they are worse than those of mr. bush, they are certainly worthy of criticism. now obama, i think it was within the first two months in office in his first term used drones more than bush had in the eight years of his administration. and nobody said a word. we, you know, we have created a borderless battlefield. we are killing people in countries with which we are not at war. how can we justify this. i was with an international lawyer in geneva recently and he said, sometime, somebody is going to kill a u.s. soldier in nevada, one of the soldiers who goes in every day and you know, does the drone strike, and he said, i am going to have to call that an act of war. legal under the laws of war. he s attacking military target. i am not advocate ka i am not advocating, i m just saying how can we kill people wherever we want and believe that it s not going to come back it scares me that we are so complacent. that we are not willing to ask those questions. and it scares me that some people in this country sexually think we have the right to murder. the name of the book is my name is jody williams: a vermont girl s winding path to the nobel peace prize, won it in 1997. we thank you. thank you.

police and federal agents talk about a crime crack down that happened this morning in oakland. the owner of that business in berkeley talks about plans to bounce back from the fire. the date is set, when voting will start to elect a new pope at noon. complete bay area news coverage starts right now. this is ktvu channel 2 news at noon. an early morning fire at the landmark restaurant in berkeley. what the owner and founder of the restaurant told us and what firefighters are saying about a possible cause. good afternoon i am tori campbell. we just got you information on that story ktvu has been following all morning after a fire at the berkeley restaurant, owner and founder alice waters tweeted the cafe may re-open next weekend and we are now getting word the fire started near some electrical equipment under the building. the iconic restaurant is located at shattuck avenue and we talked with her. reporter: she went into her restaurant to take a look at at the damage and emerged shaken. it has a lot of emotional just sadness. that emotion came in part because walking through the damage today was like walking back in time, back to march of 1982, when a fire damaged the restaurant. the improvements made since likely saved the entire building today. firefighters say the fire started underneath the building in the subfloor area. when the fire broke out went up the side of the building and broke out those windows that is when the sprinkler system likely went off. a sprinkler system alice waters says she didn t want but agreed to after the builder insisted. if anything goes wrong it is go tong save the porch and it did save the restaurant this time because it flooded. it just flooded the porch. and that gave firefighters the advantage they needed to get the fire out before it spread. without it they say the building could have been lost to this fire that was spotted just after 3:00 this morning. the fire started on the exterior. by the time the companies had gotten here it had spread to the interior. even through her tears alice waters insists she feels lucky and resolute. we are not going anywhere, no we are aren t and i just want people to know they just will have to bear with us just a little bit. it appears just like a good meal may take time to finish. there is a renewed effort to make it harder to hold gun shows at the cow palace. new at noon state senator mark leno spoke about a resolution to tighten up a loophole that allows firearms to be sold there without local input. christien kafton joins us with an update. good afternoon. reporter: good afternoon, just an hour and 15 minutes ago state senator mark leno said communities throughout the state have worked to ban gun shows but because the cow palace here sits on state land the counties have no say about gun shows here. the senator said the aim of his new bill sb 475 is to close what he called a loophole. so what this bill does is requires that before the state can contract with any gun show at the cow palace the board of supervisors of the county of san mateo and the board of supervisors of the county of san francisco merely have to pass a resolution in support of having the gun show here. now we have video from previous gun show here at cow palace. supporters of the bill say it would turn power over the decision on gun shows to local leaders, who can then take a pulse of their community. it would require the county board of supervisors in both san mateo and san francisco counties to pass resolutions supporting gun shows here if they want them. highly unlikely, both boards of supervisors have voted in the past to ban gun shows community leaders said gun shows like these pump guns into the surrounding communities where they are used to commit violent acts. the supporters say they are legal and that banning gun shows for legitimate gun buyers would drive them to the black market. we spoke with one owner who told me, if his intent is for people to met behind closed doors behind smoke filled bars to buy them on a black market then his proposal is a step in the right direction. the senate bill is set to be considered this spring. we are live at the cow palace, christien kafton, ktvu channel 2news. thank you. the fremont police department is organizing a gun buy-back for a week from saturday. there have been several similar events in the bay area recently. these guns came from a buy back in santa clara county last weekend. the fremont one is held a week from tomorrow, march 16th at 10:00 a.m. at the fremont fire training facility and is open to people living in p fremont, newark and union city. coming up a ktvu investigation reveals how many travelers are still trying to bring weapons through airport security. despite increased security measures. right now san jose city workers are conducting a major sweep of the city s largest homeless encampments, earlier this week those living on the city evened property received notice they have to leave. janine de la vega joins us and tells us what it looks like out there. good afternoon. reporter: good afternoon. i just spoke with police. they say so far there has been no hostile confrontations. people are leaving and complying with orders. behind me you see a truck out there hauling off the trash, everybody is dumping trash and debris into that dump truck. this field here already looks completely different than what it did this morning. next door to the san jose airport police officers and city workers headed into a field with tents. more than 120 people have been living here for months. they have been given notice they were trespassing but some had not left yet and didn t know where to move to. i have no idea, i am going to bring myself to the road and i don t know from there, i don t know. as of right now i am hoping maybe a night or two at the motel if everything works out all right. if not maybe in the car. you are trespassing. this is city owned land where nothing can be built because of the proximity to the airport. they say it raises health and safety issues and some are packing up and moving there. the city realizes that but offering outreach services to build rapport with them to get help. i think the more consistent we are in the application of these clean ups and the more frequently we do them and break them down the less we will see. they are halling that off. the cost of the clean up is between 20 and 30,000 dollars, city officials admit there is not enough hogsing housing for them and that is a band-aid, it is frustrating to her. there is a lot of them, then you don t get a bed and get bedbugs, then you get robbed, you are better off out here. the city says they will hire a security firm to help prevent people from setting camp back up here because they don t have enough officers and rangers to do that. back out her life again you can see people still hauling away their own belongings, some of them again are not sure where they are going to go. screws still need to scwork on this side of spring street because this whole in campment took place on both sights but again it looks a lot better than what it did. city council plans to meet next tuesday to discuss long-term solutions to trying to find permanent mouseing to people who are in this situation. reporting live from san jose janine de la vega, ktvu channel 2news. new job figures are out today and offer good news for people looking for work. according to the labor department the economy generated 2 36,000 new jobs in february, that

custody. the man who lives in this house near 23nd and thatharo streets says he woke up after midnight and found two men in his house, they held him at gunpoint. he asked us not to show his space. so

international airport. not just guns, our review of the records shows stun guns, knives and grenades also seized at u.s. airports. a tsa spokesman says many passengers say they simply forgot to remove them from their bags. security consultants say this is 1 reason why the tsa conducts such thorough screenings. the key is you got to keep the bad guy off off his game. the way to do that is random.
