and germany, how can the u.s. and china, how can the country's better or cooperate learn, whatever, in this upscaling? >> i think the first and most important point is to use the chance of the establishment of a new energy agency, and to support us. and who also, to incentivizes organization to become stronger. the foundation of this organization is governmental agency is one thing. but now the work begins, and this organization should level the playing field of international energies institutions. the next years, which always had against new energies. and in favor of conventional energies. the old thinking and mentality. and the international atomic energy agency with a clear mandate to promote atomic energies. in these two institutions have for years contributed into the underestimation of renewable energies. now the renewable energy agency is there. it must become established so you need several hundred people, not only 30 or 450 or 60, that need an adequate budget. they need at least similar budget for the mem

if you are in germany, want to buy a prescription drug from spain, no problem. if you're in italy, want to buy it from france, no problem. they have parallel trading of prescription drugs. the consumers have the freedom to buy it where it is least expensive. in our country, consumers don't have that freedom, and our amendment gives the american consumer the freedom to shop for those prescription drugs where they are sold for the most reasonable prices. i'm not interested in having consumers buy their drugs from other countries. i'm interested that if they have the opportunity to do that at a fraction of the price, that the pharmaceutical industry will be forced to reprise their drugs in this country. i sat on a straw wale once at a farm where we had a meeting. we all sat around on these bales and talked. an old codger there about 80 years old said to me, my missus, he said, my wife he said has been fighting breast cancer for three years, and he said we have every three months driven to canada to buy tamoxifen. that's the medicine my wife has taken to fight breas

he had met with an authoritative iranian counterpartin germany. each side was laid out its conditions. there were no deal breakers in it. especially the deal was ready to be made. it took from september to january of the next year, so about four months to actually work the deal -- berkeley deal. and there were times that i understand at least the american side was ready to throw off its hands and say we'll never get this done. and it was the algerian intermediaries that kept coming back and say no, keep out of it. keep doing it. it's a little bit like i said about your assumptions and preconceptions. if you go on with the assumption that this will never work, this will never work, then it probably won't. let's see. okay, the question about brazil. ahmadinejad in brazil. one of the features, it seems to me of the islamic republic since its inception has been a certain amount of diplomatic ineptitude. that's a very early on, from the very early. they have made enemies gratuitously. people who didn't want to be their enemies, but were often provoked

germany was number nine. and from my earlier chart, you will remember each of those countries has universal coverage and much lower costs than we do, and yet they are getting on these metrics better outcomes than we are. and it doesn't stop there. here's life expectancy. the united states ranked 24th. this is according to the oecd, the international scorekeeper. and again, japan, switzerland, france, universal coverage, much lower costs, still ranked much higher than we did on that metric. japan, universal coverage, much lower costs than we do. in fact, half as much as ours, and yet they were number one. switzerland, number two. universal coverage, much lower costs than we do, and yet they ranked number two. france, universal coverage. much lower costs, they rank sixth in the world. you know, it would seem to me we ought to look to evidence and evidence shows us there is a better way, and that's what this legislation seeks to find. it seeks to find a better way to expand coverage, to improve quality, and to c

that's fairly why germany which does not have much in the way of sunlight, is a worldwide center for manufacturing of solar panels. they have a feed-in terry, it's created a vibrant market for solar technologies. the united states has traditionally had a strong intellectual leadership in creating these new technologies, of course, time and again, we have seen that our work in inventing new technologies here in this country has resulte resn the manufacturing occurring elsewhere and we need to try to head that who have. -- off. second issue i wanted to previously talk about is electric transmission. it is closely connected to having an effective renewable electricity standard. it is ensuring that we have a transmission system that can effectively connect renewable resources to markets, and that can handle the particular challenges of intermittency that are associated with some renewable electricity sources. we've seen a lot of evolution in electricity markets over the last few decades as they've become more regional and more interstate in scope, but our system of serving those markets

public money to lift britain from its current place closer to the levels of activity in netherlands, germany, and scandinavia. in my department, the interest in my department will absolutely be foursquare with interest a rat department. there is no differentiation here. there is no conflict team and it's really starting to align government and really using all of its way around those same object is where they could make the transfer system flow more quickly. we can get people healthier and then we can encourage people to reduce their carbon. government has got to get a bit better at that, a bit more focused on how it is doing. we just bought a cycle to work scheme. we all came together and when the combined power of government departments get together you can begin to make significant change and leave some behavior change. that it does make that kind of conservative action taken on both in the past we have not enough. clearly the change needs to happen now. >> a lot of hands went up. >> thank you very much. it's clear from everything we've heard that we need to put climate change and sorry h

. >> reporter: for a short time, germany accepted bosnian refugees. >> it was pretty hard. there was a lot of racism going on. we were an easy target for a lot of the kids. we were all put together with nothing, you know. you know, you could tell the way we dressed and everything, we had nothing. and we were made fun of so much, i mean i was fighting every day after school. three years later, the german government ended its program for families who didn't have visas, so the husidics had a choice, go back to boss the kneia, or end up in the united states. they went to chicago. >> that's when i finally felt like you can enjoy life now, we've made it. you can relax now. you know, it's yours, so, you know, i always, like, wanted to have a house i could have friends over and stuff, and every day, like, since we had the house, i always have people over, there's not like one day where my mom is not cooking for everyone. but in bosnia, it's just like that. you always have family over, friends over, you're grilling. >> reporter: and from there, life was good. boggio starred in socce

lift britain from its current place closer to the levels of physical activity in the netherlands, in germany, in scandinavia. so that, for me, where the interest of my department lie absolutely four square with the interests of ed miliband's department. there is no differentiation here, there's no conflicting incentives, and it's really starting to align government and really using all of its weight around those same objectives where they can both make the system flow more quickly, we can get people healthier, and then we can encourage people to reduce their carbon, and government's got to get a bit more focused on how it's doing it. we've just launched a cycle to work scheme, but we all came together, and it's been the combined power of government departments, the three together. you really can begin to make significant change and lead some behavior change, but it does need that kind of concerted action. i take on in the past perhaps we've not done enough, but if there's a year to make a change, then it clearly is now. >> a lot of hands went up. >> thank you very much. andy, thank you very
