I want to speak this morning about South Africa and about what America can do to help promote peace and justice in that country, so troubled and tormented by racial conflict. The system of apartheid means deliberate, systematic, institutionalized racial discrimination, denying the black majority their God-given rights. America's view of apartheid is simple and straightforward. We believe it's wrong. We condemn it, and we're united in hoping for the day when apartheid will be no more. Our influence over South African society is limited, but we do have some influence, and the question is how to use it. Many people of goodwill in this country have differing views. In my view, we must work for peaceful evolution and reform. Our aim cannot be to punish South Africa with economic sanctions that would injure the very people we're trying to help. I believe we must help all those who peacefully oppose apartheid, and we must recognize that the opponents of apartheid using terrorism and violence will bring not freedom and salvation, but greater suffering and more opportunities for expanded Soviet influence within South Africa and in the entire region. What we see in South Africa is a beginning of a process of change. Changes in policy so far are inadequate, but ironically, they've been enough to raise expectations and stimulate demands for more far-reaching immediate change. It's the growing economic power of the black majority that has put them in a position to insist on political change. South Africa is not a totalitarian society. There is a vigorous opposition press, and every day we see examples of outspoken protest and access to the international media that would never be possible in many parts of Africa or in the Soviet Union, for that matter. But it is our active engagement, our willingness to try that gives us influence. Yes, we in America, because of what we are and what we stand for, have influence to do good. We also have immense potential to make things worse. Before taking fateful steps, we must ponder the key question. Are we helping to change the system? Or are we punishing the blacks when we seek to help? American policy through several administrations has been to use our influence and our leverage against apartheid, not against innocent people who are the victims of apartheid. Being true to our heritage does not mean quitting, but reaching out, expanding our help for black education and community development, calling for political dialogue, urging South Africans of all races to seize the opportunity for peaceful accommodation before it's too late. I respect and share the goals that have motivated many in Congress to send a message of U.S. concern about apartheid. But in doing so, we must not damage the economic well-being of millions of people in South and Southern Africa. If we genuinely wish, as I do, to develop a bipartisan basis of consensus in support of U.S. policies, this is the basis on which to proceed. Therefore, I am signing today an executive order that will put in place a set of measures designed and aimed against the machinery of apartheid without indiscriminately punishing the people who are victims of that system. Regulations that will disassociate the United States from apartheid but associate us positively with peaceful change. These steps include a ban on all computer exports to agencies involved in the enforcement of apartheid and to the security forces, a prohibition on exports of nuclear goods or technology to South Africa, except as is required to implement nuclear proliferation safeguards of the International Atomic Energy Agency or those necessary for humanitarian reasons to protect health and safety. A ban on loans to the South African government accepts certain loans which improve economic opportunities or educational housing and health facilities that are open and accessible to South Africans of all races. I'm directing the Secretary of State and the United States Trade Representative to consult with our major trading partners regarding banning the importation of Krugerans. I'm also instructing the Secretary of the Treasury to report to me within 60 days on the feasibility of minting an American gold coin which could provide an alternative to the Krugeran for our coin collectors. I want to encourage ongoing actions by our government and by private Americans to improve the living standards of South Africa's black majority. The Sullivan Code, devised by a distinguished black minister from Philadelphia, the Reverend Leon Sullivan, has set the highest standards of labor practices for progressive employers throughout South Africa. I urge all American companies to participate in it, and I'm instructing the American ambassador to South Africa to make every effort to get companies which have not adopted them, the Sullivan principles, to do so. In addition, my executive order will ban U.S. government export assistance to any American firm in South Africa employing more than 25 persons, which does not adhere to the comprehensive fair employment principles stated in the order by the end of this year. I'm also directing the Secretary of State to increase substantially the money we provide for scholarships to South Africans disadvantaged by apartheid and the money our embassy uses to promote human rights programs in South Africa. Finally, I have directed Secretary Schulz to establish an advisory committee of distinguished Americans to provide recommendations on measures to encourage peaceful change in South Africa. The advisory committee shall provide its first report within 12 months. I believe the measures I'm announcing here today will best advance our goals. If the Congress sends me the present bill as reported by the conference committee, I would have to veto it. That need not happen. I want to work with the Congress to advance bipartisan support for America's policy towards South Africa, and that's why I have put forward this executive order today. Three months ago, I recalled our ambassador in South Africa for consultations so that he could participate in the intensive review of the Southern African situation that we've been engaged in. I have just said goodbye to him. I'm now sending him back with a message to State President Bota underlining our grave view of the current crisis and our assessment of what is needed to restore confidence abroad and move from confrontation to negotiation at home. The problems of South Africa were not created overnight and will not be solved overnight. But there is no time to waste, to withdraw from this drama, or to fan its flames. We'll serve neither our interests nor those of the South African people. If all Americans join together behind a common program, we can have so much more influence for good. So let us go forward with a clear vision and an open heart working for justice and brotherhood and peace. And now I'm going to sign the executive order. President, why did you change your mind on sanctions? My own sanctions? Helen, I haven't. I thought here I'd try to explain. We, I am opposed and could not sign the bill if it came to me, containing the economic sanctions, which, as we have repeatedly said, would have harmed the very people we're trying to help. That's in that bill. No, there were many things in that bill that we could agree with, and many of those are incorporated in this executive order. Are these sanctions, aren't they? Not in the sense of the economic kind of sanctions that the bill called for and that, as I say, would have hurt the economy there. And this won't hurt the economy. No, I don't believe so. Do you consider these sanctions the weakest measures in the congressional package? Why should this satisfy those in Congress who want a strong message sent to South Africa? Well, we have consulted with some of them and found that there is a great deal of improvement for what we're doing here and they see the intent of this. Mr. President, South Africa's business leaders have been talking about meeting with its black political leaders, but President Bota has described this as disloyal. What do you think? Well, we happen to believe that negotiation is the thing that must take place, and we hope that maybe we can persuade them that they should, with the responsible black leaders, they should negotiate with regard to the solution of the process. Mr. President, can you still call your policy constructive engagement now? What's that? Can you still call your policy toward South Africa constructive engagement? Yes, you might add the word active to constructive, but yes, I do think it is. It's similar to what we've been doing in the past. What changes would have to take place in South Africa for you to lift these measures? Well, I think the negotiations that lead toward the steps necessary to bring about political participation by all the citizens of South Africa, and when they start those constructive steps, as I've said, there isn't anything that's going to be achieved overnight. So a dialogue would be enough? Out of that dialogue then would come further steps leading toward, as soon as possible, the end of apartheid. At what point would you feel free to lift what you've done today? Well, that would be hard for me right now to say. I think you have to see the intent and see whether these steps are being taken in a forthright manner or whether there are some trying to give in here and there, still hold off from the ultimate result. So let us wait and see what happens. Can you send your letter to Bota? Well, is it the same? And I assured him that of our desire to be of help in this and to be helping the further progress that we hope they intend to make. Do you think your actions are sending to South Africa? How would you describe the kind of message you think this action is sending to South Africa? I think the same kind that we've been using before. It is persuasion, but also indicating that the American people can get impatient with this. We all feel very strongly about the changes that are needed in that society. Since the bill is so similar to what you are proposing, why would you veto it? Because, as I say, there were features in there. You see, this wouldn't have been necessary if I had what a president should have, which is line item veto. I could have signed the bill and line item vetoed out. What don't you like? Well, as I say, basically let me just sum it up and say the actual economic provisions that we thought will have militated against the chance for prosperity and good living of the people we want to help. But now, I think I've taken enough here because George Schultz is waiting in the press room to take your questions and to brief you more thoroughly on this whole problem. If you've discussed this matter with Congress and what kind of response you're going to get, aren't you, in effect, stewing their thunder a bit here? No, we have discussed this with the leaders of Congress and have been very pleased with the reaction that we got. These sanctions don't bring progress, the kind of progress you're looking for. Will you take stiffer sanctions then? Well, that we'll look at when that comes. But remember, we're talking about a sovereign nation. And there are limits to what another country can do. We can't give orders to South Africa. We're trying to be helpful to them knowing that there is a large element in South Africa which also wants an answer to this problem. Do you intend to keep the ambassador there? He was recalled several months ago because of his pleasure over policy. What do you mean in South Africa? Yes. I've said goodbye this morning. Have you spoken personally to President Bozner about this action? Have you spoken personally to President Bozner about this? No, I've written him. I think George must be getting very impatient. Are you talking about the red-skinned football player? Not quite. I've got a lot of articles on the schism in your hierarchy. If I fired anybody, it would be the post. Okay, go join George. I shouldn't have mentioned your name. How are you feeling, sir? I feel just fine. Don't I look at it? George, will you tell us after this one? What's that? If you're talking about vetoing this bill, are you going to veto others too? It's going to be a rough session. I don't know. That would depend a lot on the following time. I don't want it to be rough. Don't forget your veto, Ken. Don't forget your veto, Ken. I'll just leave it there for future use. Alright. Okay.


Hello. Today I don't have more of a feature request from Blender to the community because it's November. It's the month of the beta. It's just a matter of weeks until the beta comes out. And one of the biggest things in every release, it's that regardless of the feature, the IRD are cool. It's an image that you see, the splash screen. This image that you see as soon as you open Blender, this very nice hero frame that we have in the Alpha 2. For the first Alpha, we had the wonderer image from Daniel Bysted. It was one of the biggest and one of the first big showcases of EV was back then. So it was well deserved to have the very first splash. Then hero came out because of Chris Pencil's major, major thing in Blender 2.8. It's one of the reasons why a lot of people are going to switch to Blender 8.8. And now it's time for the beta. And the beta, what does it mean when the beta comes out? It means that it's going to be full of bugs, full of things that no one wants to fix because they just, that has too deep in the code. And for that, we need power. We need developer power. And for that, we have the Blender development fund. So this is the topic of the splash screen for the beta release. We want to somehow let people know that they can contribute to help Blender, that it's actually something that you can do. Like if you're really into Blender, there are ways you can support core development. Yeah, if you want like specific features, yes, of course, you can, you can also contribute to that. But the core development, the one that keeps Blender going and growing and stable, especially that part of making it stable. 2.7 is quite, quite rock stable. I mean, the last release had over a thousand bug fixes from previous releases from. And to point it, it's going to need quite some help in that, because so much has changed with the dependency graph, with the new OpenGL, with all of that requires development power. So we need a way to show this in a splash, but without making it look like an advertisement. That's when new artists come and help because it's very hard to convey, right? All of that is like, yeah, like, you can help Blender, you can make it, you can contribute.  I don't know, it's, it can go crazy. But that's the, that's a target. That's the message of the splash screen. And of course, it has to be like engaging, positive. It has to be, you can read the blog post here by the user feedback forum on developer, on devtalk.blender.org. I'm going to add a link in the description. But yeah, basically that, without actually making it look like an advertisement that you want to click, click away whenever you, whenever you open Blender, it has to be nice. And yeah, maybe try, avoid having the Blender logo, like so explicit there, maybe it can be like hinting, but not specifically. We try to avoid having Blender logos in the splash screen forever. So yeah, then also the image has to be 16 by nine. That's the, the aspect that we're using now in, in the Blender here, this 16 by nine and try to make it work in like this composition, right? Like this horizontal composition, maybe three thirds or so. But it really just go and do whatever looks nice. Also, the image has to have permission. It has to be some kind of permissive license so it can be used and reused and shared because it's going to be shared all over the place, magazines, websites, everybody should be able to share it. And even better, extra points if you make it CC0 or public domain. And if you share the BlendFile, you're going to even have more karma points in your life. Who doesn't want that? If you share the BlendFile, it will be shared on the Blender.org website with, of course, a credit to the, to the, to the creators. And also your name will appear on the splash screen that will be downloaded a millionth of times. So isn't that nice? And yeah, please. You don't have a lot of time though. It's been, it's like 10 days from now. It's the deadline says 14 November. Maybe it can be a bit more flexible depending how that release itself goes. So yeah, that is like the deadline. But yeah, keep in mind that just something nice, you know, you open Blender, you don't want to have like super complex things, just a nice color, something inviting, warm, I don't know, easy to read. And whatever you would like to see when you open Blender for the next months or not, I mean, for the first beta, maybe the beta two could have another message, beta three, until the stable release. All right. So that's it for now. There are so many other things that I need to cover from Blender that are being actually happening in like EV and the interface, but I will leave that for another video. And I will see you there soon. Ciao.
