EuroNews - By Keith Laidlaw - Feb. 08 (News Report) - On day 15, activists in Cairo's Tahrir Square have called fresh protests to mark the start of their third week of uprising against President Mubarak's rule.

Constitutional changes are also on the agenda, according to Vice President Omar Suleiman who said today that Egypt has a roadmap for the peaceful transfer of power. But demonstrators want Mubarak to go now.

Forgiveness and Healing

Fri, 21 May 2010 00:00:00 -0700

Link TV - By Phil Cousineau, Edward Tick - May. 21 (Special Report) - Are we capable of fully forgiving one another? And what about forgiving ourselves? This episode of Global Spirit explores forgiveness and healing on a personal and societal level, illuminating how spiritual practice and compassion can aid us on this most critical of journeys. Host Phil Cousineau brings together three guests who each approach the topic from a different angle. We see Ed Tick and his wife Kate Dahlstedt take a group of traumatized Vietnam War vets back to the land where they fought and killed, to help them learn the art of “forgiveness of the self” for what they did during a war almost 40 years ago. Program guest Azim Khamisa practices “forgiveness of the other” as he traces how he learned to forgive the boy who murdered his own son. Now Khamisa works with the killer’s grandfather to foster forgiveness and healing with young audiences all over the world.

Once and Future News, 2009-2010

Thu, 24 Dec 2009 00:00:00 -0800

Link TV - By Erin Coker, Evelyn Messinger - Dec. 24 (Special Report) - The year 2009 may be coming to an end, but some news events are far from over. This special end-of-year half-hour Global Pulse program digs deeper into the most significant stories of 2009. In the daily welter of news coverage, sometimes what will truly affect the future can only be seen from a distance. We look at how broadcasters around the world have presented divergent views on key events. Original interviews and clips from the most astute observers round out the picture. China and the Global Economy: The historic financial economic collapse at the start of the year scrambled the long-standing hierarchy of power, and China has emerged as the world’s new leader. Original interview with Wayne Silby, Co-Founder and Chairman of Calvert Investments and advisor to Grameen Bank on China. Remembering Pakistan: President Obama’s new Afghanistan “surge” mirrors the troop increase from February ‘09 -- as does the rise in violence across the border, in Pakistan. Mexico at War: Except for the few times violence has exploded in the U.S., American news has paid too little attention to the escalating war between organized criminal gangs and the Mexican government. Iran’s Strange Course: A deeply flawed election that challenged Iran’s theocratic régime was followed by a newly aggressive and oddly contradictory policy on nuclear enrichment. Original interview with Professor Mohsen Milani - Chair, Department of Government & International Affairs, University of South Florida.

Link TV - By Erin Coker - Dec. 04 (News Analysis) - China and the U.S. may be patting themselves on the back for proposing CO2 emission cuts, but African nations are boiling mad.

Amid floods in the continent's east and drought in the west, Africans accuse the developed world of timidity, and some are calling for climate reparations.

Bonus Battle

Sat, 19 Sep 2009 00:00:00 -0700

Link TV - By Erin Coker - Sep. 19 (News Analysis) - The Fed stepped up today with the US version of a worldwide backlash on bonuses for bankers. Led by French President Nicholas Sarkozy, this is another example of the G20 nations' rising power. Sarkozy is dragging a reluctant US along on his crusade to curb banker's pay. It only works if the whole world does it - and that could never have happened in the past, even though majorities of Americans have steam coming out of their ears over the obscene bonuses.

Iraq: Talk is Cheap, Blood is Cheaper

Tue, 18 Aug 2009 00:00:00 -0700

Link TV - By Jamal Dajani - Aug. 18 (News Analysis) - It is now apparent that the Iraqi insurgency has adapted to what the U.S. and Iraqi forces have been throwing at it. When the surge was in full swing in and around Baghdad, the Iraqi insurgency retreated, but since June 30, when U.S. troops in Iraq withdrew from urban centers, some insurgents moved right back in, while others shifted their attention to the Iraqi north. A cat and mouse game.
