ndia's booming economyeeds to put therakes on carbon emissions. but the secretary oftate a clear no fromndia's leaders. >> india's positi is, i would li to make it clear and categorical. india's position is thawe are simply t in a position to take on legally binding emissn reduction target >> like ma of the world's developing countries, india is unwillingo commit to cutting greeouse gasses at the expense of economic growth and s. clinton was quick tory to assure themhat's not the plan. >> the ited states does not and will not do anying that would limitndia's economic progress. >> but today mrs.linton was still pressing for chang the indian gornment.omprome >> we understand the difficulties that each of r countries face in trng to deal with clime change. so nowet's see if we can't together find me creative solutions.

on issue after issue i thi botthe president and i are committed to you kn truly respecting theiews of others. >> india and ma of the world's developing countries blamehe u.s. and other dustrial powers for causing climate change an want tho countries to cut their emissionsy 40% before agreeing to any limits. despitehe standoff over climate issues, the u.s. and india did reaca trade deal thawill have far-reaching environment and economic consequences. u.s. coanies willet exclusive rightso sell india reactors foruclear power plants to india, a de that could be worth $10 billi and helps cement a boomintrade relationshi prime minister singh tolde that sites for o nuclear parks for u.s. cmpanies have been improved by the government these parks will advance the ms of the u.s.-india civil nuclear agreement, facilitat

billions of dollars in u.s. reactor exports and createjobs in both countriesas well as nerate much-needed energy for the indian people. >> we want toet more insiht out secretary oftate's visit to iia and the state of the american indian relatns. so we're joid toni by amit pandya of the stimn center. it's a nonprofit publ policy institute cated in washingt. goodto you have back. >> thank you. thank you, martin. >> there's been speculaon that u.s.-indiaties have not been as close during the first mths ofbama administration as they wer say, during the bush years. how would you see that? >> well, i think it's mostly matterof perption. i mean, i don't see any substantive issu onhich the oba administration has been further away from thindians know that the bush administratiowas. you know i think that they're en a couple ohetorical missteps perhaps, were we have appeared to not expressed rselves with a dege of sensitivityo indian concerns,

buthose are the kinds of things one expect a new administration coming in. i tnk it's imptant for us not to overstate tha >> why is indiso resistant to esident obama's push to emission reduction tarts? >> well i'm not sure tha they are exactly. i mean, i thinthat at some level, this is a mter of perceptions and positioning. on the one hand, i think the indians see th you knowe are lative latecomers to the willingne to do something serious about carbonemissions. secondly, ihink they've always had a consistent position, which is they ow what they need t , but they also have certain economic gwthimperatives to lift people out of poverty and so on forth. so they're not go to dictat to and not gng to aept binding commitmts. and thdly, i thk, it's not souch as they're resistant to president obama's push for

emission control or emission reductions, i thnk it's more that the -- they feel that at the end of the ay, the devil really is inhe details o exactlwhat kind of agreent come up with. >> so you think is possible that the two sides will reach an accomodation? >> there is clrly an internation process and international negotiati under ay. whether it is concluded in copenhagen is besid the point. the point isthere's a discussion. single nation can dealith the advers economic asell as environmtal impacts of climate change witht havinggreement with the global communi and at the endf the day there's going to have to be an agreement so you know all better b willing to talk seriously. >> ll before i let u go i want to ask you how significant you think was thisuclear reactor al that was reached today? >> wel you know don't seet as being qualitatively different. the trh of the matter is we've

crossed the rubber kahn already when we made auge exception for iia to the internation proliferaon control regime. >> this deal, though, i mean, so far as buness between thetwo countriesit would seemo cent a solid relationsp there there's alot of money at stake. >> of course that's ght and that was alwa the expectation. a good deal of th eectation when reached theu.s.-india civil nuclear cooperation agreement beginning tee years o and then concluding last year. >> amit pandya, a pleasure to talk wi you again. thanyou. >> thank you we have one more note fr inditonight. the loneurviving gunman in last nomber's terror attack in mumbai surprisecourtroom observers and pleaded glty toda 21-year-oldjmal kasab had previously denied iolvement in the attacks at killed 166 people. he other ten gunmen were als killed ding the three-day siege. and investigats in indesia are still trying to determine who wasehind the terror bombings at two westn
