what he will call. one year after the american engagement, president obama is return together world's stage we will reach out from war to peace. . president offered new position for american aid. more likely, he will be sent his record. washington with a driving force behind tougher sanctions. the president has shrugged them

off. he has his own views. i hope that the european union and america authors will continue to negotiate this letter the president did seem to offer a small olive branch before coming combi releasing a jailed american hiker. she arrived in new york the same time he did. >> earlier this week, his remarks got lost in translation problems. both sides are saying they are open to negotiations but on their own terms. there are many other that's will come up one of the main concerns

this year is sudan. there's a lot of concern about what that might lead to. a high level meeting will lead to that as well. the russian prime minister has rejected talk. and discussing talk that he was confident this could take place in the spirit of partnership. israeli forces showed totally unnecessary violence. nine people were killed aboard a tur kish ship. israeli said they acted in self-defense. >> cambodia sentenced a leader

demonstrators today. 250 in all, i would say the initial signs are the first of these two national strikes. certainly, we are seeing a lot of frustration out in the country about these reforms going through. perhaps the representative is the fact that it is expensive to strike. it is unlikely they will increase from 60-62 and that the governments will retreat from that.

the demonstration seemed to be the language if you bang on long enough and hard enough, the government will seem to lament. there has been strong attachments. they expect the state to pay for it there is a huge deficit when it comes to the pension fund. people did recognize there needs to be changes. the population grows older. there is fewer work in employment. there is a general accept answer in countries like britain and

president obama in new york today. chinese prim ear and japan's prime minister are facing american criticism. china went about defending his country's currency policy saying 20-40% would lead to bankruptcy information. japan's prime minister will a dregs the assembly this week. away from this building, he will also meet with president obama to talk about the world's trouble spot, the global economic recovery and the japanese yen. last week, the bank of japan met with markets to guarantee the jen yen. that move was met with dismay in the u.s.

immigration or that it is completely new. we have many decades of the far right, protest parties. popping up in europe, we had the npd in germany. we had a party in france. >> this is a wave? >> these parties are pretty unsuited to exercise the possibility. they get in parliament and do rather badly. i'd be caution of saying this is a long-time trend. is it as simple as saying what we will now see is the main parties once again stealing the emperrer's clothes?

it is never simple with immigration. it is not a security issue. you can't do anything about immigration. you can only roll out sensible policies. in any other area, the policy and actual media and public discourse, the gap is huge. it comes down to two basic pieces. you need to take away the oxygen given to the far right. you've seen the uk government do that. reality tv shois showing immigration teams wandering the countries looking for people that look illegal and you have the other liberal argument which is no, no. you can't fan those flams. you have to get out there and show leadership. >> it's interesting. if people speak out, it's true
