>> rose: welcome to the program. i'm charlie rose. the program is charlie rose the week. just ahead, germany and the united states opened their doors to refugees. apple shows off its newest products. and the latest from the u.s. tennis open joke virtue opened in the film. >> the semi's and final's match in last year's u.s. open probably could have beat anybody in all the opened. everything was right. but jokovich, great returner, smart, moves extremely well. >> rose: we will have those stories and more on what happened and what might happen.
11:31 pm
11:32 pm

11:33 pm
fact 15 individuals. >> rose: hillary apologizes. >> an apology from hillary clinton for the e-mail scandal now plaguing her campaign. >> i'm sorry about that and i'm trying to be as transparent as i possibly can. >> we've got a jack rabbit going the distance. >> a jack rabbit ran wild all over. >> there he goes and he scores and then ... ♪ you ain't no friend mine. >> rose: europe this week has been grappling with the humanitarian crises. hundreds of thousands of migrants are fleeing war attorney in search of a better view.
11:34 pm
germany and his government is expected 800 thousand refugees and asylum seekers this year. so germany opened its doors. >> it did. it did and i think rightly so, for many reasons. first, we feel that we have common standards of humanitarian laws and values, and we've got to live up to that. and we have a very liberal going in germany. i think that's a lesson of our history. and nazi germany, we produced many refugees that were exiled and many countries took them in. so i think one lesson of our history is we have to be very liberal and very humane when it comes to exile. >> rose: immigration has always been a political question. but here a decision by your chancellor and apparently public
11:35 pm
support for her including tabloids. is that accurate reporting? >> yes. and the support for her, for my foreign minister who embraced that wave of refugees is very high. and that's something i'm frankly very proud of that this reaction was so positive and it shows so much in the civic engagement for the refugees. and i think it's also wise if we look beyond this immediate wave. we need immigration in germany and it provides a great opportunity this flow of refugees. we're an aging society and we need immigrants. >> rose: hillary clinton has called for i think an emergency global gathering at the united states general assembly this month when the unga meets in the
11:36 pm
latter part of september. is that a good idea? >> i think it's necessary to put this refugee crises on the agenda of the united nations when all the leaders meet. and let's not forget, we've got to tackle the root causes. and the root causes in the case of middle east is mostly the war, the civil war in syria. >> rose: turning to politics and the race for the whitehouse, joe biden made a dramatic and emotional appearance with stephen colbert last night. the second gop debate is next week and donald trump will lash out. hillary clinton puts the scandal behind her. the eds ter of the play book blog he joins me in washington
11:37 pm
for a whitehouse watch. joe biden, last night. no one could have watched that without having been emotionally touched. >> people are wondering, is this a new opening chapter for vice president biden and stephen colbert asked the vice president about the possibility of running for president. and the vice president saying that whatever his decision is, he thinks that he needs to be 110% there. that he needs to really throw himself into it. now, charlie, you and i were talking off camera about the fact that someone had told you that the vice president accomplished there what secretary clinton has failed to accomplish in a whole campaign. and that is to project a sense of humanity of authenticity of reality. now, what does this mean for a campaign? everybody of course is trying to read between the lines. friends of the vice president told me immediately upon seeing
11:38 pm
this that they thought that this meant he was sort of leaning away from a campaign. it's hard to say i'm not really there yet, and in a couple weeks say i'm all in. and yet, this is the unpredictability of vice president biden under any circumstances the way one of his friends put it to me, he could go out on a rope line this weekend and somebody could talk him into it. and his emotional state right now makes him even more unpredictable. >> rose: clearly it's a family decision. let me turn to secretary clinton. not just in the last week or the two weeks i've been away from here, what is wrong with her campaign? is it all about the e-mail scandal? or however you characterize it. or is it something else? >> charlie, it's clearly something else because the e-mail scandal is being used as sort of a magnet for other
11:39 pm
issues. we saw a "new york times" story at the beginning of this week saying secretary clinton was going to project more humor, more authenticity and that of course led to a lot of conversations about her ten point plan, her ten point schedule for showing she's spontaneous. and morning joe on msnbc this week, they were laughing at that headline again and again. like you don't want people laughing at your projections. so david axal rod who helped elect president obama twice certainly among the most respected political minds he tweeted it's a mistake to show your cards or show your hand and say that you're going to go out and show your humor. just do it. >> rose: meanwhile there's the trump candidacy and we're facing another gop debate. >> we've seen a real change in how the other candidates are responding to him.
11:40 pm
we don't know yet what the consequence that will be. but the play book until very recently has been to stand aside, to let donald trump play out, let him say what he's going to say. now we have people deciding that's not working. glenn thrush in politico saying it's like the mystique of not standing up to the school yard bully. the first time. if you don't punch back, he's got your lunch money. so now the candidates you point out the louisiana governor punching back, you have jeb bush punching back. there's a lot of reporting come out of the republican campaign in this second debate where we're going to have 11 this time candidates because we have the original ten with carly forini on the prime time stage being tougher on donald. all i can say is good luck.
11:41 pm
>> apple unveiled a series of new projects at a major event in california this week. among i'm two new phones, a massive new tablet and much more. >> apple's product launch is getting mixed reviews this more than. the tech giant rolled out updated iphones, ipad and tv boxes in san francisco. at the end of the day apple stock fell nearly 2%. charlie rose, you know that guy was seeing the updates up close including a new camera feature. >> we have something we call live photo. and what live photos are, what is it like if i could just touch that picture and have the memory come to life. this is literally a second and-a-half before and a second and-a-half after the main
11:42 pm
photograph. >> apple iphones go on sale in two weeks. >> rose: i talked to bloomberg's editor josh tyrangiel about the world's valuable company stays ahead of the pack. >> once again apple has taken the most profitable and successful consumer product in the world, the iphone and found a way to separate itself from its competitors. and the key there is they've got a 3d touch. they've literally added a third dimension to the phone where if you create pressure you can dive in. so if you're and press harder it will show you who to call without going back and forth through different apps. it's a very feat of engineering and really pushes the experience a little bit more forward. apple invented this kind of multitouch experience, 2007, the first iphone and you could swipe it and touch it. this takes it to a completely different level so you can still do those things. but now just with these amazing
11:43 pm
little microscopic readings with pliable glass you can go anywhere within the phone and introduce all these short cuts. so that's pretty impressive. what i learned, aside from that is how this actually happens. so there's a method to the way apple operates that is very unique. it's faith based is the best way you could call it. i've got to go into both of those things and i saw how the method produces amazing technology. >> rose: what do you think about think based. >> they place more trust in their designers than i think people previously knew. we know apple is a design first company. the key notes are scheduled very long in advance. so apple has what's called its september event. four months out they begin to plan it. what goes into that keynote is up to the designers. so they don't make features for a date. they're making features. they won't push anything until it's ready. they don't hold stuff back and the designers are constantly at work on things. as johnny ives said to me it's
11:44 pm
amazing in this company of metrics and absolutes and financials that there's so much faith in designers. because what we make sometimes it just doesn't work. and so it really is faith that their method of combining designers and engineers with a lot of resources, it is the richest company in the world, it has $200 billion in cash on hand, will produce advances and innovations. but they legislate it. it's not on deadlines. >> rose: people say they've done a lot more here and more than they expected but it's not a great place where they brought something like the iphone. >> the truth is there's only been one iphone. there only ever will be one iphone and it is as much as apple changed history under steve jobs the idea that first they put a computer in your pocket with the phone is remarkable. the ability to keep ahead in that space is amazing. and so the iphone said oh my god look what you can do.
11:45 pm
i think what they've been capable of doing with these smaller releases, they make purchasing a phone an unthinking decision. it's very competitive but for most people, when they're done, when they need a new phone when it cracks and they lose it, they don't think about what to get now. they think the iphone is going to be there they'll have new features and i'll know how to use them. >> rose: this weekend the world's best tennis players will face off in the u.s. open. joining us for a look at the tournaments so far is tennis coach nick bill tier. i am pleased to have an old friend at this table. welcome. >> thank you. >> rose: let's talk about the u.s. open.
11:46 pm
first women. is serena the best woman. >> it's hard to do that because the physical and mental is difference. charlie it's tough not to say she's the best player. >> rose: so is there any part of her that needs improvement. >> herself. who can beat serena? herself. charlie this is a big thing what's happening. can you put that out of your mind because you're about to break a big record. you can't put it out of your mind. >> rose: grand slams in one year. >> one year. >> rose: okay. djokovic on the first men's semifinals. >> what happens last year, charlie. the semis and finals match in last year's u.s. open probably could have beat anybody in all the opens. everything was right. >> rose: explain that. >> charlie, there are some things -- >> rose: it's the perfect storm. >> that's exactly right. and look chuck has not played
11:47 pm
well. he's been hurt a little bit. he hasn't had a super super year. but he's here in the semifinals. now his game, big serve, big forehand. but djokovic great returner, smart, moves extremely well. >> rose: you've got the complete game, djokovic has the complete game. >> of all the players in the history of tennis, i would say djokovic has no weakness. >> rose: complete game. >> complete games. >> rose: well all now how many he will win. >> he's playing at his best. >> rose: i'll say this name and tell me the flood of ideas that come to you. roger federer. >> roger federer is one of a minute on the court and off the court, charlie. he's something that everybody should try to copy. great father.
11:48 pm
respects the game. helps children. and a great competitor. and he's smooth. >> rose: the best player we've ever seen. >> magnificent, charlie, magnificent. >> rose: he's playing as well as he's played. >> but he's made changes. the bigger racket. heavy spin. >> rose: what do you think to tell people about the legacy. >> impact on their life. become a doctor, a lawyer, a good mother. i inspired them to do things that would leave an impact on their life, their children's life. not the champions charlie. i want to be able to do something for somebody that helps them get through this life. build characters in young boys and girls defrayed from drugs and alcohol and have a strong character and learn what discipline is. and learn what it takes to be successful.
11:49 pm
>> rose: character and winner's philosophy. >> that's it. >> rose: ejiofor received a wards for 12 years a slave. now he has z for zachariah and he told me about why he's still growing as an actor. >> ever since the event that killed everybody. he survived -- >> rose: the apocalypse. >> yes, he survived and come out maybe out of fear trying to get off the wagon and is moving around from place to place and he comes across this valley that has been untouched, that everything has survived him. there he meets ann a young
11:50 pm
survivor. he's a very heavy guy. he decides he's not go to rush into a relationship. he's going to try and establish this kind of friendship. the last thing he wants to do in a sense is get into a bad relationship with the last woman on earth. >> rose: and how else has the apocalypse changed him. >> i think he's been, there is this element of ptsd. there are issues he had before but this intense loneliness, this intense, the things that he's seeing thing he has perhaps done and carries with him. it's the kind of strong inner life we were working with, i think all three of us and craig the director, working for these areas of inner life when these people start to enter these interpersonal relationships to
11:51 pm
sort of dramatically escalate with all these characters. >> rose: how are you growing as an actor other than simply you're growing as a human being. >> i definitely feel like doing a play like every man and really trying to get into the kind of moral, ethical and complexity of our times, this time now and what morality plays for us now given our environmental concerns and ourself centeredness as well. is something that i feel like by the end of this term, had a very strong sense it's something that has made me in some way a better person. and that's a great gift. >> rose: this was humanity of you. >> of me, yes. it's not like i look for a play to do something that has happened in this context is deeply gratifying. i think when doing theatre and doing films and when making
11:52 pm
films like z for zachariah and the details to look at those pieces in order to dplesh out -- flesh out the newances makes me a better actor and keeps me improving my work to the point where i'm satisfied. >> rose: here's a look at the week ahead. the 95th miss america competition. monday is the day of the new exhibition of picasso opens at the new york museum of modern art. tuesday is the day is the 70th session of the u.s. general assembly opens. wednesday's the day of the republican presidential debate at the reagan library. thursday is the first day of the sun dance film festival hong kong. friday is the first day of london fashion week. saturday is the 30th annual farm
