After World War II, it was difficult for our mothers because we had this word which was called rassenschande. It's a shame of race. That means a woman who was engaging with especially a black guy, that was a shame for the family. So sometimes these women were also forced to give their children into orphanage.

For hundreds and thousands of years, identities were created by excluding those who were not part of the crowd, by drawing up borders. And this is why becoming a German when you are from Africa or Asia or Turkey or elsewhere is such a difficult thing because not only do you have to subscribe to everything that's normal here, you also have to overcome this exclusion barrier.

Today, Pentagon officials offered some details about how they plan to implement the end of "don't ask, don't tell." Congress repealed the ban on gays in the military late last year. The ban is still in place for now and it will stay that way until the secretary of Defense certifies that enough troops have been trained to deal with the policy change. Secretary Robert Gates said he expects that to happen sometime this year.

|
Well, Audie, you know, it could actually mean both. We do know that more than 5,000 service members reported sexual assaults over the past year. That's up from about 3,400 the year before. But what we don't know is how many cases last year when unreported, although previous years have shown that sexual assaults are vastly underreported. That's based on confidential surveys in which members of the military said whether or not they'd been sexually assaulted. But such a survey was not done this past year, which is why we simply don't know if the numbers jumped because people are now more inclined to report assaults, as Secretary Hagel suggests, or because there were more sexual assaults overall.

Well, you know, actually fewer than half of those cases were under the legal authority of the Pentagon. Others may have been domestic violence or cases that occurred off military bases. Of that fewer than half, only about 500 of those cases actually went to trial. And when they did, about two-thirds did result in convictions and that's a slightly better conviction rate than in the previous year.

Well, there was reaction on Capitol Hill and predictably, I guess it reflects divisions we heard this past year over whether prosecution of sexual assaults should remain in the chain of military command or be removed from it.

She called today's report concrete progress because it shows more victims, in her words, have the confidence in the system to come out of the shadows and report these crimes. The chief advocate of removing prosecution from the chain of command was New York Democratic Senator Kirsten Gillibrand. She put out a statement saying today's report should, quote, "send chills down people's spines." Gillibrand said a system where only one out of 10 reported cases goes to trial is a system screaming for additional reform.

Well, Secretary Hagel said today that he's sent out 22 directives over the past year to strengthen how the Pentagon responds to and prevents sexual assaults. He issued six more today. One of them aims to increase the number of males reporting such crimes. Hagel said it's estimated many men are also the victims of assaults in the military.

Another aim is to do a Pentagon-wide review of policies on alcohol and the risks it poses to others. And there's a series of videos being released this spring that aim to better educate the armed forces about sexual assaults. There's also a training program specifically aimed at junior Marines. It encourages them to intervene when they witness a sexual assault.

We're talking about basically the same age cohort, both on campus and on the bases. Problems such as excessive alcohol consumption tied to sexual assault are big issues with both of these groups. I guess the most important difference is that in contrast to those in the armed forces, a college student who reports an assault does not have to deal with a chain of command and military justice.

The case was brought by 12 Nigerians, all granted political asylum in the United States. All are from the Ogoni region of Nigeria, where Shell Oil has for decades conducted oil exploration. In the mid-1990s, local religious student and civic leaders began demonstrating peacefully against Shell, protesting that their farmland was being ruined by oil spills and that Shell contributed nothing for the clean-up, for environmental protection or for the local economy. Soon the leadership was being rounded up, tortured, and even killed. Those who survived fled, including Charles Wiwa, who says that after he led a rally in his home village, he was picked up and taken to an open air market where he was clubbed and horse-whipped by 18 soldiers before a crowd of thousands.

Well fortunately this is actually the easier part of the bank failure. The FDIC has mentioned, at least in the case of Indie Mac which was the second biggest bank failure ever, that you just keep paying your loans as normal. Your ATM card works that same. Your checks work the same. Nothing really changes on that end. I think that if there's one thing that people can count on is when you owe somebody else money, they'll find you and make sure you can pay them conveniently.

here is a question about retirement savings. it comes from sarah hanson (ph), and she's been listening to her mom's advice. she's been diligently putting away money into her ira every month. but the bank failures have her feeling a bit nervous and she wants to make sure her ira is safe?

Well first of all, good for you Sarah. If we all put away money into IRA every month there would be a much more stable financial situation in this country. On the IRS question, just as bank deposits are guaranteed. IRA's and retirement accounts at banks are also guaranteed in the sense of the deposits they have inside of them. In other words if you have a CD in an IRA you're actually guaranteed up to 250,000 dollars for that account, whereas just with a regular deposit or a savings account it's only 100,000 dollars. So it's a pretty good guarantee. Hopefully nothing happens that you have to claim that guarantee. But on the whole, if you have that money in IRA that's guaranteed.

Well, Michele, it's really an elaborate training program. The Pentagon says it wants each and every member of the military to go through some kind of sensitivity training that will essentially describe the policy changes that are going to take place, and what's expected of them in order to make these changes possible.

We're told that training materials are going to be finalized by next week and ready to roll out. But it's really going to be up to each service to decide how to use the training materials to best suit their own needs. But we know that they will include the usual military training tools: videos, PowerPoint slides, but also some case-specific scenarios meant to provoke conversations.

Well, in terms of the gay bar scenario, the policy says it's irrelevant - where a service member spends his or her free time is really up to them. And as long as it doesn't violate the military standards of conduct - and going to a gay bar wouldn't - then it's fine.

Now, as far as those jokes are concerned, that's a larger issue and it speaks really to the command climate. The policy is clear, that disrespecting any service member isn't tolerated. And that includes references or jokes about someone's sexual identity.

Clifford Stanley talked about this today. He's the undersecretary for Personnel and Readiness, and he's in charge of figuring out to implement all of this. And he said the key to making this policy change is setting an example from the top down. Let's take a listen.

Leadership, professionalism, discipline and respect are supposed to be there now, and should be there even when repeal is effective. And so, what I'm saying is that this is about leadership. And it's not about a specific thing or changing policies that apply to this current discussion.

Interesting also to note, Michele, that the Pentagon has said that they're not expecting to change people's attitudes when it comes to homosexuality. They want to change people's behaviors, and that's what the training emphasis is going to be.

And as for changing their behavior, there are issues that will certainly surface on military property, certainly on bases. What about dealing with partners of gay troops? Did they clarify any changes to housing, or benefits, or things like that?
