[wanabidii] Press Releases: Interview With Al Hunt of Bloomberg News on the Charlie Rose Show

Interview With Al Hunt of Bloomberg News on the Charlie Rose Show


Interview
John Kerry
Secretary of State
Washington, DC
October 31, 2014


QUESTION: We’re here with the Secretary of State John Kerry. Welcome, Mr. Secretary.

SECRETARY KERRY: I’m delighted to be with you. I’m honored to be with you on your first outing here.

QUESTION: Well, thank you for joining us.

SECRETARY KERRY: Thank you.

QUESTION: We have so much to talk about. The deadline for the Iranian nuclear negotiations is November 24. What are the odds of having a deal by then or being close enough to have an extension?

SECRETARY KERRY: I honestly can’t give you odds, and I wouldn’t. I think – I’m hopeful, but it’s a very tough negotiation. There are still gaps that are fairly wide on a number of subjects.

QUESTION: Are you getting closer?

SECRETARY KERRY: Well, we’re closer than we were a week ago or 10 weeks ago, but we’re still with big gaps, Al. We have critical weeks ahead of us. I think the stakes for the world are enormous. I hope the Iranians will not get stuck in a tree of their own making on one demand or another in order to try to find a way together. And we’re hopeful. We’ll do our best, but we have to close off all pathways to a nuclear weapon, and we have to have enough breakout time in order to be able to guarantee the security of everybody who is concerned about this.

QUESTION: In those – in these next three and a half weeks, do you have any plans to meet with high-level Iranians on this issue?

SECRETARY KERRY: Oh, absolutely. We’re going to have (inaudible).

QUESTION: So you’ll have meetings in the next couple weeks?

SECRETARY KERRY: Yes, I will. I am meeting on the 9th of November. I will be meeting with the foreign minister directly. We’ll have two days. We will be beginning a slog of going into the last two weeks. Our expert team will be on the ground with a constant process. We’ll be in Vienna for the final days with the P5+1, all of us together trying to come to some kind of an agreement.

QUESTION: Mr. Secretary, there are reports that the Iranians believe – they’ve indicated to some people that their leverage has been enhanced in these negotiations because of their role in fighting ISIS. Is that a correct reading?

SECRETARY KERRY: Well, let me use this program to deliver a very clear message to the Iranians, which is: This is not a political decision for us. This is a substantive decision based on the proof of a peaceful program. It’s not hard to prove your program is peaceful if that’s what you want to do. So outside leverage, Syria, ISIL, whatever, is not relevant to this. It’s not affecting us one way or the other. We have one set of criteria within our mind.

There are four pathways to a nuclear weapon. One is the secret underground facility known as Fordow, one is the Natanz enrichment facility that is known to everybody, a sort of well-identified building. The third is the Arak, as it is called, plutonium heavy water reactor. And the fourth is the covert, whatever you aren’t sure of because it’s not clear to you, and therefore you need sufficient verification and sufficient transparency to be able to determine that there isn’t that path being pursued. That’s things like, for instance, knowing you have an eye on the production of uranium and how much uranium and where it’s going and how many centrifuges and these kinds of things.

So those four pathways need to be closed off. We’re looking to the Iranians to be as responsible as they have said they will be and as forthcoming as they have promised, which is to be transparent and allow the proof of this peaceful program.

QUESTION: You talked about ISIL. Let me just ask you a few questions about that. It’s been several months since President Obama promised to degrade and destroy the Islamic terrorists. You have said repeatedly this is going to be a long fight. But over those several months, is there any indication that they have really been degraded?

SECRETARY KERRY: Oh, absolutely. There’s a clarity to that. I mean, they have a limited supply of the heavy weapons that they captured when they routed portions of the Iraqi army and as they marched through Anbar province. We have been, day by day, destroying those.

QUESTION: So you think they’re a lot weaker than they were a month or two ago?

SECRETARY KERRY: There’s no question in my mind that they have been stopped in their momentum. That was target number one. Target number one – the point is, Al, there’s a very clear strategy which the President is implementing. The first part of that strategy was to make sure we had a government to work with in Iraq. And the President made it clear he was not going to engage in strikes and in a major effort until we knew we were on that path. Successfully, the Iraqis have chosen a new government, and that new government is working diligently to help resuscitate the Iraqi army itself, to put new generals in, to reconstitute it, and to help marshal outside forces in the coalition that have come together to help them.

The second part of it is to begin to stop ISIL where it was gaining particular momentum at – like at Sinjar Mountain or in Mosul or at the Haditha Dam or Amirli where they were laying siege. Each one of those we successfully stopped. And in addition, we have begun to take strikes to their command and control headquarters, to their oil production facilities which they use to sell to get money. And step by step, that is going to deteriorate their command and control, their training centers, their supplies. This is a long haul. I’ve said that from the beginning.

QUESTION: One of the keys is to choke off their money. They are the best financed terrorist group --

SECRETARY KERRY: (Inaudible) terrorist group --

QUESTION: -- in the history of the world, I suppose.

SECRETARY KERRY: They are.

QUESTION: Up to $500 million a year by some estimates. How can you choke that off, or can you choke most of that off?

SECRETARY KERRY: We’re working on the measures that need to be taken in concert with many other countries to close down avenues for banking, for transfers; to identify people who are large donors and to block that, and also to identify the means by which they’re collecting money in smaller sums but from larger numbers of people.

All of these avenues are being pursued. In addition, we’re pursuing a de-legitimization effort that involves the grand mufti of Saudi Arabia, for instance, the council on Saudi Arabia that issues fatwas, the imams, clerics, ayatollahs, people all across Islam who are speaking out to discredit any claims whatsoever that ISIL has made with respect to its so-called legitimacy with respect to Islam. That’s a major, major step.

QUESTION: You put together that coalition, most importantly the Arab countries. How much are they going to pay for this war, the Sunni countries?

SECRETARY KERRY: Well, the --

QUESTION: Are they delivering?

SECRETARY KERRY: There’s not a specific sum, but there is a pretty open-ended commitment by a lot of countries to do whatever it takes in order to guarantee that ISIL is defeated. And that includes Saudi Arabia, the Emirates, others in the region who are deeply committed to this effort. And they’ve proven it. They’ve put themselves online in ways that they never have before. We have said this will take time, and it will take time. But I am convinced that – because every country in the region is threatened, and countries that aren’t directly in the region. Even Russia that has been supporting Assad, for instance, knows that there are about a thousand Chechens in Syria fighting with ISIL, and that’s a threat to them.

QUESTION: So it’s in their interest. And I just – we are putting together – we’re helping to put together a – some kind of coalition government in Iraq because that’s essentially, you have said, to this fight. Is it at all possible to think about that in Syria? Is it at all possible to maybe have the Russians and the Iranians, acting in their own interest, to put together some kind of coalition there to take on ISIL that would maybe involve Assad and the Free Syrians?

SECRETARY KERRY: We are talking with the Russians and we have raised the subject with the Saudi Arabians and others in the region about how we can deal with Syria in a more concerted way. It is greatly complicated, obviously, by Assad, who is the magnet for most of these fighters coming in. They came there originally to fight Assad. And for a number of different reasons, that broadened into this other entity, into ISIL. But ISIL isn’t alone in presenting a threat to the region or to Assad. You have al-Nusrah, you have Ahrar al-Sham, you have a number of different groups there, but they’ve all come to take on Assad. And the bottom line is you will not have peace in Syria ultimately as long as Assad remains the focus of power and the center magnet, if you will, for extremism. It’s impossible to envision that.

I think the Russians and the Iranians actually deeply down understand that. The question now is: How do you focus on Iraq first, stop them from growing in Syria, then begin to bring more pressure to bear on them in Syria? But it will not take away the fundamental notion within much of the region that Assad ultimately has got to go --

QUESTION: He has to go.

SECRETARY KERRY: -- because he is the magnet, and you cannot stop all of this with him there.

QUESTION: Probably the most effective fighting force against ISIL have been the Kurds. Is this the time to think about recognizing a Kurdish state?

SECRETARY KERRY: No. No, it’s not the time. It’s distinctly not the time for a lot of different reasons. We need to take one thing at a time here, and I think President Barzani understands that, which is why he helped in the creation of this new government in Baghdad. The Kurds joined into that effort. They realized it was important to be unified and concerted in this effort against ISIL, and that would be very disruptive with respect to the coalition.

QUESTION: The Washington Post had a story this week that our ties with Turkey have really frayed. They actually say they are crumbling. Has that relationship --

SECRETARY KERRY: No, they’re not crumbling, but it would be disingenuous not to suggest there haven’t been some tensions over this question of what exactly is Turkey prepared to do in order to help on some of the fundamentals. Now, I think we’ve made progress on that, and General Allen has been in the region. He’s been meeting with him. They have committed to a number of different important efforts within the coalition – training and helping with respect to humanitarian assistance.

But they have a legitimate – they have a concern. Their concern is Assad, and they view Assad as a significant component of ISIL in a sense because of his degree of attracting people there. They also have a problem with the PKK, the Kurdish terrorists within Turkey itself, and it’s complicated as a result. So they want to know that the strategy going forward is fully thought out, fully articulated, clear to them, and one that they can buy into. And we’re working on that.

QUESTION: You are going to China next week. One point I’m sure that will come up when you’re there and probably when the President is there too, is the Chinese seem to be retreating on their commitments to Hong Kong for autonomy and free elections. What message are you going to deliver on that issue when you’re in China?

SECRETARY KERRY: Well, we’ve delivered the message. I mean, we’ve already delivered the message publicly, and we obviously are for democracy. We want people to have the right to vote. At the same time, we understand that if people are blocking streets and if they’re engaging in civil disobedience – we have our own approaches to civil disobedience here in our country. You need to sort of recognize that if you’re engaged in civil disobedience, there are consequences. But we support the dialogue. We want them to come together. We’d like to see it resolved as carefully as possible.

QUESTION: Let’s talk just a minute of something else about China, and that is North Korea. Are they being helpful as far as providing intelligence as to what’s happening there? It’s been really weird. Are the Chinese being helpful?

SECRETARY KERRY: Yeah, the Chinese are being helpful. They’ve taken measures way beyond where they were a year ago. When I went to visit last spring, we engaged in a discussion where they agreed to step up their efforts with the North, and they have. They’ve actually reduced the amount of jet fuel going into the country. They’ve put limitations on trade going into the country. They’ve had at least five visits, maybe six – five, I think, with President Park of South Korea. They haven’t met once with Kim Jong-un. They have had --

QUESTION: Do you have any sense of what’s going on in the North?

SECRETARY KERRY: We do. We think that Kim Jong-un is trying to consolidate. He’s always – he’s got concerns about what’s happening with respect to the human rights accountability and expose of his country. His economy is not great. They’re concerned about the South, if there were a reconciliation, sort of engulfing them. And there are other concerns that he has, obviously – what’s happening with the elites in this country, what’s happening with the control of the military and so forth.

My judgment is that – and this is a Chinese judgment too – that there’s an uncertainty still as to where he wants to go, what he wants to do. The hope of the Chinese is that we could get back to Six-Party Talks sooner rather than later. Our hope is likewise.

QUESTION: Right.

SECRETARY KERRY: We could do so, but we’re not going to do it just for the sake of talking. We want to know that North Korea is prepared to discuss the denuclearization. We can come back to those talks, and we’ve offered all kinds of alternative realities to the North that if they did come back and engage in denuclearization, there is a path by which they could receive, ultimately, a normal working relationship with the rest of the world and economic engagement and other things that would be enormously helpful.

QUESTION: You mentioned Russia and Ukraine a moment ago, and I think Americans are a little bit unsure of our Russia-Ukraine policy, and it seems that sanctions alone aren’t going to secure Ukraine. Have we basically given up, or is there little chance of any diplomacy with Putin?

SECRETARY KERRY: I met with Lavrov in Paris a week and a half, two weeks ago. We talked about various approaches. There is a Minsk agreement in place. It has a timetable for certain things to be done by a certain period of time in December. We’re concerned that the recent Russian statement about supporting the separatist elections on November 2nd – that that’s outside of the Minsk agreement and we would not view those as legitimate, and that could be problematic. But they just got a gas deal in the last 24 hours between Ukraine and Russia. There has been some indication of troops moving away and of some reduction of violence, but it’s very start and stop. It’s not sufficient yet to satisfy anybody, and I think we’re concerned.

But the sanctions have held. The sanctions are having an impact. The ruble is at the lowest level it’s been since – against the euro since the euro was introduced in 1999. They’ve spent billions of dollars trying to support the ruble. Oil is down, hovering in the low 80s, somewhere in that vicinity. That has a profound impact on the Russian budget and the Russian economy. Their GDP is going backwards, not forwards growth. And so they have some serious challenges.

Our desire is to see the full implementation of the Minsk agreements and move to de-escalate the confrontation which we don’t think is doing anybody any good. Ukraine should not be fought over in the way that Putin appears to believe it has to be. We believe it can associate with West, with East, can be a strong relationship with Russia and a strong relationship with Europe and could be a bridge between the two. But President Putin really needs to decide that he wants to respect the sovereign rights of the people of Ukraine to make that decision for themselves, and to work with us in a constructive way rather than to attack the norms of behavior and the standards which have guided us ever since World War II.

QUESTION: Secretary Kerry, thank you. We’ve covered a lot today and we really appreciate it.

SECRETARY KERRY: Likewise.

Subject: [wanabidii] Daraja la kuunga Dar – Zanzibar laja

BAADA ya ndoto ya kuziunganisha pande mbili za katikati ya Jiji la Dar es Salaam na Kigamboni kwa daraja lenye umbali wa meta 680, Shirika la Taifa la Hifadhi ya Jamii (NSSF) linaangalia uwezekano wa kujenga daraja la kihistoria zaidi litakalounganisha Dar es Salaam na Zanzibar.

Kwa sasa, uongozi wa shirika hilo upo katika mazungumzo na wataalamu mbalimbali ili kuangalia uwezekano wa kujenga daraja hilo katika bandari ya Dar es Salaam kwa upande wa Tanzania Bara na Unguja, kwa upande wa Zanzibar.

Umbali kati ya Dar es Salaam na Zanzibar ni kilometa 73.43, sawa na maili 45.62 hivyo kuwapo kwa 
mradi huo ni jambo linalowezekana, kwani kuna madaraja marefu zaidi duniani yanayounganisha upande mmoja wa bahari na mwingine.

Kwa sasa, daraja refu kabisa duniani ni lile la Danyang–Kunshan lililopo China ambalo lina umbali wa kilometa 165, sawa na maili 102.4. Daraja hilo lilifunguliwa Juni mwaka 2011.

Hayo yameelezwa na Mkurugenzi Mkuu wa NSSF, Dk Ramadhan Dau wakati alipokuwa akijibu swali la Mwenyekiti wa Kamati ya Kudumu ya Bunge ya Maendeleo ya Jamii, Said Mtanda ambaye alitaka kufahamu kama kuna matarajio ya kujenga daraja kubwa zaidi, ikiwezekana la kati ya Dar es Salaam na Zanzibar.

Alisema wapo katika mazungumzo na wataalamu mbalimbali ambapo mazungumzo hayo yakienda sawa, ujenzi wa daraja hilo huenda isiwe ndoto, bali ukweli.

"Hilo wazo lipo mheshimiwa na tayari tumeshaanza mazungumzo ya awali, kwa hiyo hilo wazo lipo na sisi tulilifikiria," alisema Dk Dau.

Kamati hiyo ilifanya ziara katika miradi mikubwa mitatu ya shirika hilo ambayo ni daraja la Kigamboni, ujenzi wa nyumba za Mtoni Kijichi na 'Dege Eco village' ambao una nyumba zaidi ya 7,000.

Akizungumza wakati wa kuhitimisha ziara hiyo, Mtanda alisema, kamati yake imeridhishwa na miradi hiyo ya NSSF ambayo inaendelea huku akitaka kuongezwa kwa kasi ili watanzania waanze kunufaika na miradi hiyo.

"Muangalie na hilo la ujenzi wa daraja la kutoka Dar es Salaam hadi Zanzibar na mradi wa makazi bora na salama ambao utaweza kubadili taswira ya Jiji la Dar es salaam," alisema.

Alisema kamati yake isingependa kuona changamoto zozote ambazo zinaweza kukwamisha miradi hiyo na kwamba serikali kupitia Wizara ya Ujenzi itaangalia namna ya kuunganisha miundombinu karibu na miradi hiyo.

"Lakini pia tumesikia kuwa serikali inadaiwa na mifuko ya hifadhi, tunashauri serikali kuilipa mifuko hii ili kuifanya kuwa na nguvu na kuweza kuleta maendeleo," alisisitiza Mtanda.

KUCHAGUA LAPTOP ( MPAKATO ) MSIMU WA SIKUKUU 2014 

Tokea LAPTOP zimeanza kuingia sokoni zimekua sehemu ya maisha yetu ya kila siku . Mwanzoni hazikua zinapendeza sana , Kubwa na Gharama . Lakini siku hizi katika dunia ya ushindani mambo yamebadilika kwa sababu kuna kampuni nyingi zinazotengeneza Laptop kwahiyo zimekua na gharama nafuu na mtu anaweza kuchagua aina anayotaka kulingana na viwango au uwezo wake .

Kuna kampuni nyingi zinazotengeneza Laptop lakini kwa zinazouza sana ni hizi , DELL , ASUS , LENOVO , IBM , HP , SAMSUNG , APPLE , ACER ,CHILLBLAST , ALIENWARE , TOSHIBA ,SCHENKER , MSI , GIGABYTE ,SONY , SCAN .

Kama unataka kununua laptop msimu huu wa sikukuu za mwaka 2014 , huu ni muongozo unaoweza kukufaa katika kuchagua laptop , ingawa baadhi ya vitu vinaweza kubadilika kutokana na nchi na soko kwa ujumla .
Ukienda kwenye Maduka utakuta kuna laptop aina 3 , zile zenye Operating System haswa windows , ambazo hazina kabisa , na ambazo zimewekwa lakini za majaribio ukiingia kwenye mtandao unatakiwa kununua .

Bei za laptop zinategemea moja ya mambo hayo 3 ukiacha mengine yote , laptop ambazo hazina kitu kabisa bei yake ni ndogo inapungua zaidi ya dola 200 kuliko zile ambazo zimeshawekwa Programu kama ni za majaribio au ambazo zimeshasajiliwa kabisa .

Sasa hivi kuna Preview ya Windows 10 , unaweza kuingia dukani ukaambiwa ndio toleo jipya wewe ukakubali kuitumia kumbe ni preview tu baada ya muda itaweza kukusumbua , kwa sasa usitumie windows 10 , tafuta windows 7 au 8 .

Kabla ya kuamua kununua laptop hakikisha unajua kile unachotaka kufanya na laptop husika , kama ni kwa masuala binafsi tu madogo au ya kitaaluma ( kutegemea na taaluma ) . mfano kama unataka kununua ya kuchezea Michezo (Games ) unatakiwa kuchagua yenye viwango na uwezo mkubwa , kama CPU , RAM , zaidi hapo andaa bajeti kubwa .
Kama ni kwa ajili ya Kuandika vitu vyako tu , kutembelea tovuti mbalimbali unaweza kununua laptop ya viwango vidogo na utatumia gharama ndogo .
CPU ndio muendeshaji mkubwa wa Laptop yako kwa ujumla , udogo au ukubwa wa CPU ndio utaamua kasi ya laptop yako kutokana na matumizi . Kuna Kampuni nyingi zinazotengeneza CPU Kama Intel , AMD , Motorola na nyingine nyingi lakini INTEL na AMD ndio zinazonunuliwa zaidi sokoni na kutumika zaidi kwenye laptop , mwendo wake au Spidi inatakiwa iwe kuanzia 3.4 Ghz , Core i5 or i7 M .

Uwezo na Ukubwa wa kuhifadhi vitu wa Laptop yako ni muhimu sana , hii nayo inategemea na aina ya shuguli unazofanya na vitu vyako , kama unavideo nyingi , nyaraka , picha na vitu kama hivyo unashauriwa kua na laptop yenye uwezo na eneo kubwa la kuhifadhia vitu vyako hii inaitwa HDD – Hard Disk Drive , inatakiwa iwe na angalau GB 250 , iwe na mfumo wa SATA .

HDD Kubwa inaendana na RAM wengine huita Memory kubwa , hii inatakiwa kuanzia GB 4 na kuendelea , kutegemeana pia na shuguli unazofanya , laptop inapofanya kazi vitu vyote huhifadhiwa kwenye hii RAM .

Kwa watu wanaopenda michezo ya Kompyuta , kuchora , kutengeneza filamu kutumia Kompyuta , suala la VGA , GPU au Graphic Card ni muhimu sana , uzuri wa Video unayoiona kwenye kioo unategemea sana hii kadi , Kuna kampuni nyingi zinazotegeneza hizi kadi kwa ukubwa na viwango tofauti .

Huwezi kutumia laptop bila ulinzi dhidi ya mashambulio kutoka nje labda kwenye internet au vitu unavyochomeka kama flash , au unavyoingiza kama CD/DVD , hapo ndio tunakuja kwenye suala zima la ANTIVIRUS .Mpaka sasa hivi kampuni nyingi zimeshatoa matoleo mapya ya ANTIVIRUS Zao , kama Kaspersky 2015 , AVIRA , AVG 2015 , AVAST 9.0 , NORTON , SYMANTEC , MCAFEE na Nyingine nyingi . 

Ufanyaji mzuri wa ANTIVIRUS unategemea sana ukubwa na uwezo wa LAPTOP yako na zaidi ni jinsi unavyoiboresha kwa kuingiza kwenye internet kwa ajili ya kufanya updates ( boresha )

Kwa wale wanaopenda kusafiri au sehemu zenye shida ya umeme suala la betri ni muhimu sana kwenye laptop mpaka mwaka mmoja uliopita betri zilikua zinadumu kwa saa 4 lakini sasa hivi kuna mpaka saa 8 kutegemea na aina ya Laptop na Ukubwa wake , betri inayokaa muda mrefu itaweza kukusaidia kwa muda mrefu zaidi .

Screen au Kioo ni muhimu kwa watumiaji wa laptop hili nalo hutegemea shuguli unazofanya , kwa mtumiaji wa kawaida anaweza kuamua kutumia kioo cha kawaida ila kwa mchoraji wa ramani yeye atahitaji laptop yenye kioo kikubwa ili aweze kuona kazi zake na kuchora vizuri zaidi .

Kwenye laptop zote za sasa hivi zinavitu ambavyo ni lazima kama NIC (Sehemu ya Kuchomeka waya wa Mawasiliano ) , WIFI ( Wireless ) , USB , Speaker na Mic , Cardreader , webcam , FingerPrint .

Warranty ni kitu muhimu sana kwenye bidhaa yoyote unayonunua sio kwenye Laptop tu , hii ndio inaeleza jinsi utakavyorudisha laptop dukani kama imeharibika ndani ya muda Fulani na kitu gani kikiharibika ndio urudishe .

Kwenye Laptop na Vifaa vingi warranty inakua ndani ya miaka 3 lakini kwa nchi nyingi za afrika , Tanzania ikiwemo ni mwaka mmoja .

Mwisho kabisa ni kuongea na muuzaji wa bidhaa kuhusu shuguli unayoenda kufanya na kifaa chako kabla ya kununua , ataweza kukushauri zaidi na hata kukuonyesha bidhaa zilizopo ili uweze kuchagua ili usije kupata taabu baada ya kununua .
