>> last year was a tragic year. but one thing it showed they put tremendous planning into it. this year with increased security presence what they learned last year and most importantly the awareness of the spectators taking part, the very fact that there are 9,000 more runners this year than last year i think speaks to the way the community feels about the way law enforcement handles security. >> what was the biggest lesson learned from the bombings last year? >> the biggest challenge, an amazing event like the boston marathon, so many people want to cheer on their friends their family their neighbors. that's where the security has challenged. i think one of the things they are doing in boston is greater control that while family members and spectators are allowed to be there? of course they will but doing tonight a way that allows

everybody to stay safe. >> public awareness, he said people are more proactive than they used to be when seeing something unusual. 12 million people were misdiagnosed last year, half of those severely he be dangered are patients. christina puig has the story. >> the 37-year-old mother of go died because a routine pap smear was misdiagnosed, twice. >> they missed it twice by a long shot. >> a recent study by dr. hardeep singh found that misdiagnosis he arsare much too common. >> more than 1 in 20 u.s. adults in the outpatient setting and

>> while russia would like a ukraine that's pro-russian, that's what's driving putin and russia at this moment. >> how much further will russia go and will moscow uphold the agreement from last week. >> i don't think past performance we can count on that and we have to be prepared to potentially respond to what continue to be are efforts of interference by the russians in eastern and southern ukraine. >> defense secretary chuck hagel recently called russia answer action he dangerously irresponsible. this is a broader campaign by vladimir putin to retake former russian territories. two countries must still grapple with other

complicateforeign policy issues. the u.s -- complicated foreign policy issues. russia and the u.s. are engaged in working together to did i arm are syria's chemical weapons as well as curtailing the program. its mission unchanged since the cold war putin will continue to try to destabilize it. >> part of russia's foreign policy agenda is simply to stop a world that is dominated by rules and mores. >> courtney keely al jazeera new york. >> now putin rose to power promising to restore the stability after the soviet union's collapse. he has delivered on some of those goals. he has sometimes been friendly

with the united states, after 9/11 he helped united states launch its war in afghanistan. now, joining us now to discuss all this is stephen fish at the university of california berkeley and john meersheimer. both are professors of political science. do you think the president putin has handled the situation well in ukraine? >> he is trying to make sure ukraine never becomes part of nato and any government in kyiv isn't decidedly antirussian. the reason he's causing trouble politically and militarily in ukraine the, is the government

that took power after the february 22nd coup is deeply antirussian and very interested in integrating into the west. that is simply unacceptable to putin. i think in terms of making sure that doesn't happen he has done as good a job as he possibly could. >> steven would you agree? russia isolating itself in the long term is going to isolate its economy. >> i think president obama is right. i don't think this is a brilliant move by vladimir putin, he and russia will be the losers in terms of foreign policy. this is a move that will hurt his foreign policy a great deal and undertaking these policies in ukraine to buck up at home. i think this is more about domestic politics. in terms of foreign policy this buries the dream of eurasian

unit. western and central ukraine, what's left of ukraine certainly is going to be implacably hostile to russia. now cooling off on the idea. it's more likely now that president of kazakhstan will tilt towards china or the united states for protection against putin. nato is back in business. the weaker states like estonia and latvia and lithuania, putin is going to have to respond by liking military expenditures even further. strictly foreign policy this is not a good deal. >> what might be motivating president putin, nato has clearly expand he its influence. it's pushed closer and closer to russia. here you can see the countries part of nato in 1991, mainly

western europe. over the years nato has creeped closer and closer to russia's border, estonia latvia, lithuania. putin wonders how nato continues to grow, when the reasons no longer exist. >> the prices that putin is going to pay, is correct. there are definitely costs to pay. the reason he is willing to bear those costs is it's more important to him to make sure ukraine is not peeled away from russia'russia's orbit. can russia will be willing to absorb significant price. >> but again john why is nato continuing to push further east when all it manages to do is

aggravate russia? >> significant numbers of people in the united states still are have a cold war mentality. they believe russia has the capability to become a greater russia which will look like the second coming of the soviet union. what they're trying to do is make sure if that happens, almost all of europe is under the control of nato so this russia can be contained. this is outmoded thinking but nevertheless it plays a key role in nato's decision making. >> steven when you consider that, as russia has the united states meddling in its friends allies, former soviet block, does president putin have a point? >> he has a point but he hasn't had to worry about ukrainian are membership in nato, or georgian megeorgianare he membership in r

since president obama took power. integrated into cincinnat nato r future. >> if kyiv goes along with europe the next logical step would be that kyiv would join nato correct? >> no. if the ukrainian people want kyiv in nato then that could happen. but the thing is western powers including the united states and germany have seen for years that ukrainian membership in nato is a nonstarter, not a good idea. gravitating georgia towards nato vs. effectively, using putin's methods for better than half a decade right now. this still doesn't explain why he would go into ukraine the way he is doing right now.

this doesn't make sense from a strictly foreign policy point of view. he's been very effective using his patient cunning nonviolent methods. >> i want to play a sound bite from president obama. let's listen in with what he has to say. >> russia is a regional power that is threatening some of its immediate neighbors. not out of strength but out of weakness. >> okay, russia a regional power. john what do you think of that statement there? >> i think he's absolutely correct. russia is a regional power and it's acting out of weakness. the united states is not a regional power. the united states ask a superpower that has the capability to project its military might into other regions of the world. and what's going on here is that the united states with its nato allies is creeping closer and

closer to the russian border. and because ukraine and this neighborhood that russia's located in is considered a core strategic interest for moscow it will go to great lengths to put limits on how far we can creep up to its borders. >> so john i know you think president obama is speaking the truth, but would someone interpret as a dig to putin? >> what would you have expected him to say? >> well, usually we expect the president to be more diplomatic and not make a slight to president putin, the assumption is they should be friends, they should be trying to get along and solve this crisis, yes? >> there is nothing other than president obama can be hostile to putin at this point in time. if we are going osettle this crisis, putin and obama are going ohave to work with each other to create effectively a

neutral sovereign sedate in the case of ukraine and turn that into a buffer state between russia and nato. that's not happening now and not happening in large part because obama has to play rough with putin. he has to show his domestic constituency that he is not a weak ling when it comes to foreign policy. >> do you think president obama might be underestimating putin? >> i don't think he's underestimating him. the west has a lot more economic leverage over russia than vice versa. it has a lot of troops on the border, it infiltrates ukrainian security services but russia has the -- to somehow imagine it can win this struggle, to reestablish its control over ukraine or to somehow set up a good bargaining arrangement that would bring the united states to

the table by taking crimea and annexing it the way it's doing in eastern ukraine doesn't make any sense. i agree that the united states and russia should have set down actually years ago, and hammered out an agreement that respected ukraine and its sovereignty, but i do really wonder how smart this is from the standpoint of russian foreign policy. >> how smart is its from the united states, do you think the united states is handling this well, do you think they should be more aggressive with their approach to russia now? >> no i don't. i think president obama has handled a very hard situation reasonably well. he knows perfectly well the united states is not going to go to war with russia over ukraine. he knows perfectly well the united states interest in ukraine are not as great as russia's are.

trution to get -- trying to get the western alliance on board with sanctions is probably the best he can do. >> some suggest that the only way to handle president putin is to push harder against him. i've heard him described as a bully the only way to stop a bully is do bully him. >> i think that's completely wrong. i think if we get tough with putin they will respond in kind. again it's essential to -- that he will respond in kind. ukraine a core strategic are interest for russia. it will do whatever it can from keeping ukraine pushed to nato's border. furthermore i further believe when you look at who controls the economic levers, on each side, i think the russians have more economic leverage over us than we have over them. the fact is that the russians can do enormous damage to

ukraine's economy, in fact they're already doing that and they can wreak havoc in western europe too. they control a great deal of the natural gas that goes to western europe. the western europeans are reluctant to go along with economic sanctions. they know that russia can cause them an enormous amount of trouble. getting tough with putin is going to be counterproductive. >> swron how do you see -- john how do you see this ending? >> putin and obama have to sit down and work out a deal where they both agree that the future that we should shoot for is one where you have a neutral ukraine. and that means that any future government that occupancy power in kyiv can be neither decidedly pro-russian or decide hely

pro-west. what we have to do is work to create a ukraine that is a buffer state. that will be a win win win situation. the ukrainians will win, we will win and the russian he will win. is it a perfect situation? no but when you consider the alternatives it is by far best. >> steven, i'll give you the final word. what is the fallout if putin doesn't back down from this conflict? >> it is probably going orebound to problems for russia. i think it will create problems for russia. long term costs even the near term costs will be high. capital flight from russia is very high. the market is posing its own sanction he. i think the essential that the united states is providing about putin and his cronies and where their fortunes lie are very why are embarrassing. i think putin will try to shut down the internet to constrict flow of information about his

malfeasance coming to the west. this is not going to be good for putin at all in foreign policy terms. nato is now revised. he is going to have to deal with a nato that is not only back in business but eastern states like estonia and poland are going to want a bigger say in the situation. he is creating more headaches than he is solving. are. >> thank you both for your time tonight. >> thank you. >> and here are a few more key events in the week ahead. on tuesday vment jo vice preside biden visits ukraine. friday an international rifle association starts its annual convention. still ahead on al jazeera america thousands of children making a dangerous journey all alone. what they face on the border

cameras here at all. they feel like they're so out of options they're going to turn themselves in at the border, they don't have the money to get home. the situation is more desperate than ever. >> finally ever came out and told us what happened. >> just know that those people come up from the hills and just told us that we're not supposed to be there. >> were they armed? >> yes, they are armed. >> the narkos whatever they were killed of took their money and their spirits. axel was so rattled he was thinking about turning himself into authorities hoping they would send him home. they were going to spent another day in the hotel wondering what happened to their dreams stolen in the request desert. >> what happened to axel and his cousins? >> john, when they figured out

what they could do next, they decided to walk him up to the border to a crossing about half a mile from here and turn him over to u.s. authorities. they were hopeful that he would receive some kind of hearing and possibly get some kind of protected status in the u.s. that is a real long shot for a kid in axel's situation. what will probably happen is expedited return, returned eventually to honduras. >> he's not the only kid crossing the border without his parents. where are they all coming from? >> the number of unaccompanied children, uacs, are down but the numbers from central america from the violent regions of the world, guatemala, honduras and el salvador, is way up. surge of kids, very vulnerable, traffickers to criminals, the things that happened to axel and
