welcome to around the world. >> thanks for your company today. >> million dollars worth of jewelry swiped from a hotel in france. like life imitating art if you think about it. this is the second day for the film festival there and the jewels were supposed to be wearing by high profile actresses. a big film festival going on and this sounds like a movie script itself. and rather a daring sort of thing to do. they didn't just break into the safe. they took it. >> this was no subtle pink

panther job. this is somebody who gained access to the room of an employee and literally ripped the safe off the wall. we don't know what exact pieces were inside the safe, but they were estimated about a million dollars. it could be anything from a large pair of earrings to a necklace. we're waiting for a statement from the jeweller and hopefully we'll get more details. we do know they were due to be put on the red carpet. so hopefully we get more details on that soon. >> are you hearing from any actresses who are a little worried now like what am i going to wear? >> no one seems too worried just yet. when you consider a million dollars worth of jewels, that's a lot for you and me, but for what's going on at cannes, there are tens of millions of dollars worn every single day. and that makes these kinds of events big targets for thieves.

so not the first time this has happened. >> tell us about the others. >> there have been other cases. cannes has -- usually it's stores, for example. i think there are will $8 million worth of jewels taken from another jewelry store in cannes. but for example other major red carpet events have tended to be targeted in the past. sometimes you don't often hear about it, however. >> we've been debating cannes or cannes. which one are you going for? good i guess it depends on how continental you're feeling. >> all right. well, thanks a lot. a lot of bling to talk about it. >> you have 1.5 around your neck right now. it's probably one earring. well, is the government drunk with power? who is responsible for the irs scandal? in washington those are the questions that lawmakers are demanding answers to as well as

the head of the agency. he is in the hot seat. >> steven miller testifying at the first congressional hearing on this scandal. an investigation revealed that miller was aware a year ago that the irs was stone walling conservative groups applying for tax exempt status. at today's hear, miller apologized for the actions at the irs, but some lawmakers a little frustrated by the responses. >> you really are not taking any acknowledgement that you you knew anything, that you didn't do anything wrong. you've said that numerous times on the record today, that you did nothing wrong. so i find it hard to believe, why did you resign or why are you resigning? >> i never said i didn't do anything wrong. what i said is contained in the questions, i resigned because as the acting commissioner, what happens in the irs, whether i

was personally involved or not, stops at my desk. and so i should be held accountable for what happens. whether i was personally involved or not. a very different question, sir. >> you you might remember a children's book, i don't, but maybe that's because i'm a foreigner, but you do. >> i remember it. >> this book called alexander and the terrible horrible no good very bad day. it does kind of describe the week the president has been having. >> that is the kind of week he's been having. the irs marking the end of a week where the white house has been understand siege dealing with one controversy after another. want to bring in candy crowley. i think that book kind of summarized it pretty well. one really, really bad day and bad week. and it is frustrating to watch these hearings. because i don't get the sense that we're getting really much new information out of this from the outgoing commissioner teastn miller. he has taken issue with even the fact of using the word targeting

saying it's pejorative to say they were targeting these conservative groups. is this helping or hurting the president here when he comes back and essentially seems like he's fighting this? >> it's certainly -- i don't think it's helping. i'm not clear yet whether it's hurting the president. but every day there are unanswered questions is another day when questions will be asked. so the president would really like all the questions to be answered in order to move on. so in that way, it does hurt him. the irs definitely since the beginning has said this wasn't political. this was a sorting issue. this was how they sorted. but in political washington, that is just a very tough sell. and it kind of stretches everybody's notion of what political is. so that's something that may not ever be answered. but questions like who did this, whose big idea was this, how

many people did it involve, what have you done with those people. those sorts of things still have yet to be answered. this goes organization there is another hearing next week, as frustrating as this one was, maybe the next will be more frustrating. but when a witness foes up to capitol hill, they can count on half of the committee being with them. right? it's fending on where you are in the political spec trumg. somebody will throw you softballs. it's not happening in this. all of these witnesses go up there and are facing fairly hostile panels. >> gentleman wai can't wait to program on the weekend. i'm sure your rundown is full already. you've got the irs scandal, the justice department seizure of phone records, the attorney general in the hot seat. reports of suspected terrorists in the federal witness program gone missing. i mean, in totality, how much of this sticks on the president? even though he's standing there and saying in most of these cases i didn't knower.

>> it depends on what you mean by sticks. if this continues on -- somebody asked me this morning if i thought that this would hurt the president's legacy and i said i don't know, historians will have to deal with that. but in the here and now, what this might do is really put a crimp in the president's second term agenda as well as complicate what's going to be the very tough part of obama care ogoing into effect. so in the agenda way, it could affect him. has it done it yet, no. but what happens in scandals or in political controversies which is where i think most of these are is that both sides kind of revert to form and they don't want to work with each other. so that then is a threat to the president's second term agenda. >> what are you working on for this weekend? >> all of the above.

>> not time for anything else. >> i've asked for another hour. yeah. we'll do all of that. we'll first get the take from the white house. so we can ask if they found answers for the lingering questions. rand paul who is always an interesting guest and always has interesting things to say, we'll talk to him. and we'll have our panel dissect it all and tell us where we're going. >> thank, candy. i guess dan is probably not looking forward to this weekend. >> we'll try to get her an extra hour or two. she'll need it. >> couldn't miss this sunday at 9:00 a.m. eastern. overseas today, we're talking about syria and one of the cup's few remaining friends, that of course russia. >> russia showing just how friendship that is by announcing take that a deal they had already made to ship high tech, these are air defense missiles to syria, that deal still on. >> so it's a deal that the russians say was made years ago long before syria's deadly civil

war began. and they will go through this civil war or not. russia's foreign minister said today he doesn't understand why some people have a problem with the arm sales. >> he said the missiles don't give the syrian government any advantage in the civil war and as he put it, business is business. he thought the media was making much ado about nothing. >> and we're also looking at nigeria. the military is claiming success in a massive campaign against islamic insurgents. they are operating in the northeast part of that country. now, nigerian fighter jets targeted militant camps including a group that has killed more than 2800 people. >> and the president jonathan promising he would act and he did. talking about three states in the northwest of the country. they want to introduce strict islamic law which is mainly muslim. officials say at were killed an

paper which will allow us to satisfy the demand for one week or more. >> reporter: for years they suffered short annuals of basic products even corn meal. but toilet paper is in a way the staple that broke the camel's back. according to the country's central bank, there is a shortage of 21 of every 100 consumer products. and when supplies are down, demand of course goes up and so does inflation which now stands at 12.5%. butter sold out in a day and a half. >> translator: people try to buy as much as they can. >> reporter: the nationalization of several industries has discouraged production according to this economist. >> translator: fields of production that should be active are not. some no longer produce any products. it's a country which for practical and analytical purposes only produces one

thing, oil, which is exported. everything else has to be imported. >> reporter: for regular people, the shortage crisis has come knocking on their doors and straight into their bathrooms. >> we were kind of laughing, but we shouldn't be. it's a serious situation. >> it is. >> you mentioned in the piece, this is an oil rich nation. how does this happen? >> well, it's explained in one concept. 21th century socialism. when hugo chavez came to power, he established price controls and nationalized domestic companies and foreign companies. so in an earth to try to protect consumers from inflation, he ended up doing exactly the opposite. the foreign companies fled. domestic companies are refusing to allow because they cannot make a profit under the conditions established by the government. and so what you have now is not

only a short annualage of toilet paper, but corn meal, mill, staples, things that you and i and people in many parts of the world take for granted. so that's the situation that swen w they're fare facing. >> is there a sense that people might panic, that things will get out of control? >> that's a good question because the government official who announced that they were importing 50 million rolls of toilet paper, he acknowledged that that's only good for about a week and a half maybe two. and so the bottom line question is what are they going to do after that. inflation for the first trimester of the year stands at 12.5%. last year they had announced that it was going to be 17% for the whole year. so that tells you about the excruciating situation that the

consumer is living on a daily >> is there any sense that the system might change? >> it is not going to change. the same policies stand. he still talks favorably about the concept 21th century socialism. but the reality is that average venezuelans are paying the consequences. there are also problems with construction. new homes are not being built at the pace the country needs it, so you're talking about the shortage crisis and the economy really not moving. >> good to see you. appreciate it. this is an incredible story. this is what a 10le-year-old boy from pennsylvania is trying to do. >> 10. he's raising money for charity it along the way, by the way. we'll have his inspiring story coming up next. we went out and asked people a simple question:
