President Obama Does First Formal TV Interview as President with Al-Arabiya
Obama tells Arabic network US is 'not your enemy'
Obama tells Al Arabiya peace talks should resume --Their site, w/ transcript.
In his first interview since taking office, President Barack Obama told Arab satellite station Al Arabiya that Americans are not the enemy of the Muslim world and said Israel and the Palestinians should resume peace negotiations.
“My job to the Muslim world is to communicate that the Americans are not your enemy,” Obama told Al Arabiya’s Hisham Melhem in an interview broadcast Tuesday morning.
During the presidential election campaign last year, Obama vowed to improve U.S. ties with the Muslim world and after he won promised to give a speech in a Muslim capital in his first 100 days in office. The President repeated this pledge in the interview but did not give a time or specify the venue.

Interview - Obama's 'Window of Opportunity' for Improved Russia, EU Ties
Interviewee: Charles A. Kupchan, Senior Fellow for Europe Studies, Council on Foreign Relations
Charles A. Kupchan, CFR senior fellow for Europe studies and a professor of international relations at Georgetown University, says that because of Obama's "popularity and the departure of President Bush," there is a "window of opportunity to improve relations between the United States and Russia and between the United States and the European Union." But on the contentious issue of the deployment of missile defense systems in Poland and the Czech Republic, which has riled the Russians, Kupchan thinks the Obama administration will not cancel the project. There will, however, "be a deliberation about when and how to deploy such a system, and that might involve moving at a slower timetable to ensure that the technology is ready," Kupchan says.

Lies aside, Ramalinga Raju picked up several awards along his “spectacular” journey, including: the 2008 Golden Peacock Global Award for Excellence in Corporate Governance by the World Council for Corporate Governance of the UK, and Asia Business Leader Entrepreneur of the Year Award, 2007, by Ernst & Young.
Ironically, Satyam's internal audit team, which apparently did not do a good job over the years, was awarded a Recognition of Commitment award by the Institute of Internal Auditors from the US, in 2006.
In another stroke of irony, “Satyam” means “truth” in Sanskrit—though Raju didn’t consider himself beholden to live up to his company’s name.

Global Taxes and Global TV Now on the Agenda
In addition to global taxes, "The Global Agenda 2009" report urges creation of a global television channel.
"Media has the capacity to connect the world, bridging cultures and peoples, and telling us who we are and what we mean to each other. The media can also ensure that no voice goes unheard," it says. "We believe that this new moment also calls for a new media platform, across all media channels, a global non-profit ‘CNN' providing a new form of independent journalism to inform, illuminate and deepen knowledge about issues that improve the state of the world."
The report doesn't explain how this new global TV channel will be financed. But global taxes cannot be ruled out.
Perhaps this new era of transparency and disclosure can start with disclosing details about media sponsorship and backing of the World Economic Forum and its plans for "global governance."Can Islam Save The Economy?
