how about the united states? has anybody supervised or inspected the nuclear arsenal here in the united states? remember that the i.a.e.a. statute says that when it speaks of disarmament, everyone must disarm. secondly everyone must enjoy peaceful nuclear energy and third that proliferation must be stopped. now, what has the i.a.e.a. done in terms of disarmament? nothing? >> rose: so? >> ( translated ): the countries that have veto power have, in the meantime, done nothing, too, about it. it's quite natural. it's politicized from the very foundation of it. and now they don't like us and what we represent and they feel that the nuclear issues is one excuse to put pressure on us. but they're wrong and the time for that has passed. >> rose: okay, fair enough. who do you mean by the "zionist regime"? >> ( translated ): a regime that has occupied palestine and now forces its rule on that territory. >> rose: but why don't you just say aisrael? why don't you say the state of israel rather than the signist regime? >> ( tr

about the fiscal gap of the united states because that's much more important than the nation are dead today we're talking about because the fiscal gap actually includes all those unfunded liabilities of social security medicare and so on that the united states have and that figure is fifteen times larger than the national debt it's two hundred two trillion a us dollar that's absolutely staggering figure so in some way there's going to be some kind of almost some debt before the has to happen and then he also publish your report saying is the united states bankrupt and that was even in the federal reserve bank always under louis a reviewer so definitely what i would recommend be to look this up this guy isn't too far from you in boston and he actually points the finger of what's the real problem you know you can trust the short term get a piece of this if they're manipulated as are the unemployment figures you know i mean it's real unemployment is twenty two percent they changed the way they did it in one thousand nine hundred four they don't collen anyone anymore was given up looking

>> in the united states. by the press in the united states. but i thought it was a very successful visit. and, in fact, at the end of the visit, there was a very lengthy joint declaration that was made as to what the two countries needs toe do together. they were all very positive and i certainly take hard by that particular visit there was one point that was made by both presidents that the two countries need to improve strategic trust between the two of us, between two countries. and i think it's a very, very... >> rose: what's the problem in terms of the strategic trust. >> i think, as i said earlier, you know, there are people in america who thinks china is a threat to united states. they're people in china who thinks america never wished china well in the first place. and these are real issues. and is it real? how can we overcome these problems? we need to overcome some of these problems and in the case of the first instance, it's america's view china is a threat now china has no wish to challenge the united states of america. there's no r

and all three of you or in the united states i think that the most important thing that everyone needs to recognize is that the debate in the united states is not without precedent there have been many episodes in american history where we've gone through the exact same debate if you look around the world there are countries from australia to europe that are undergoing similar debates immigration today and immigration historically has always been about the movement of people from poor countries to rich countries the threat that is perceived in rich countries is a threat primarily to the way of life we enjoy much better living standards in rich countries than in poor countries and the concern whether we're talking about the united states or we're talking about western europe is the concern that as more immigrants flow into the country there's a threat to the economic way of life. and you're saying that you have borne what you're saying that you're saying that's a myth. no i'm saying that this is the this is all very true but we have to understand that we've had this exact same deb

understand that the united states i think is willing to consult more closely with china than any other country in the world yet. it's realized it's not because united states is being a good guy and the chinese recognize that they need to work with the united states and a little history is important here the transformation of germany's role in the european system in the late nineteenth century was mishandled by by by britain in particular and by the germans and it led to over time world war one we are seeing that kind of change in international pecking order and how we manage the a burgeoning of the new bric countries with china in particular and the us chinese relationship evolves really be critical in terms of long term international stability that's very true but i think i greet there is a g two and it's a very important but it's. quite limited range of subjects and the g twenty is useless more represent you know also very active decision making no no i really don't i international financial reform which is really a long way would not have happened without the g twenty i agree with i

iran a clean bill of health then not long after the mainstream media in the west primarily of the united states started reporting just the opposite how does it come to that we have an authority the i.a.e.a. it says something and then you have on the major networks the united states they kind of well they just basically change it how does that happen and i know you read these reports. well i think it's unfair to say that the i.a.e.a. has ever given iran a clean bill of health there's been problems since at least two thousand and three with iran hiding information about uranium enrichment about secret enrichment facilities about separation of plutonium about nuclear weapons design and so i really don't think it's fair to say well can i just quote can i quote. here on september sixteenth i.a.e.a. stated that the agency has quote continued to verify non diversion of declared nuclear material in iran to any military or other special purpose and quote that's pretty definitive isn't it. that's definitive are one part of iran's nuclear program they're saying that what iran has shown us we have seen tha

we never changed our desire to be friends with the united states. is president putin at that time, at the time of 9/11 tragedy was the first one to call president bush and extend his hand of friendship and help and he was instrumental in arranging logistical support for the united states to throw away al qaeda and afghanistan. and we were as open as we could be and we frankly sensed at that time that president bush was responsive, but somehow the chemistry which existed at the level of the leaders did not translate top the working level. and that certain... at a certain point we basically were thrown back to the times of... not cold war but i would say misunderstanding. >> rose: so it's much better under president bush today in terms of understanding each other and the relationship and the initiatives taken by the obama administration insqluding nuclear nonproliferation and the start treaty and all that? >> i think so. including the modification of the missile defense plan. but the main thing, it's not about... it's not only about one or another big

boston built the first modern sewer system in the united states. ours was completed between 1877 and 1884. with this wonderful new sewer system, we were taking our filth and moving it out to the ocean. of course, all of this was untreated. in the 1960s, we were still pumping all of our sewage out to moon island, untreated. we would get swimmers here, never knowing, in the middle of summer, why you would have a cold. well, we were swimming in diluted sewage. melosi: the major way to deal with pollution, at least until early into the 20th century, was through the process of dilution. the assumption was that the capacity of rivers and streams, and even the seas, allowed for certain levels of pollution that eventually would purify themself. as we get later into the 20th century, it becomes clear that the volumes of waste made dilution unworkable as a single solution. and so treatment became the ways in which we deal with pollution. narrator: to protect public health, starting in the 1950s and '60s, there was a push to put in wastewater treatment plants

>> that is the way the united states of america works. when timothy mcveigh blew up the building in oklahoma city. >> where was he? >> in the united states of america. >> that it the dividing line. >> and made a division on what we will do with him. the most vicious criminal entitled to a trial or plea bargain. either he is entitled to the rights or not entitled to the rights. >> what if timothy mcveigh got away and went overseas then say wait until he comes back or take out the threat. >> we take out the threat. >> but you are not going to shoot him when gets off the plane, arthur. >> right now they have the ability to shoot him when gets on the plane. >> shepard: if he gets here then they don't want to deal with the rules of law. this is nation of rules. the law as rules. if he sends up in the system you have to give up the evidence. that is the rule. >> it is the rule. >> if he wants to come back to the united states and declare his innocence to all the charges he is free to do that and once he does that then all the protections of the

he went to the congress of the united states. he said to the congress, we need to have a ban on -- a ban or -- a moratorium on drilling off the cost of -- coast of california. this deliberative body held hearings, i assume, i haven't delved into that, but i do know the congress and the president issued a moratorium on drilling off the coast of california and to my knowledge, that moratorium is still in place. . if there was anybody drilling at the time, they probably felt like their contract rights were stepped on and the court ruled on it and must have ruled in favor of the congress and the president because the moratorium is still in place. what does that tell us about the right way to declare a moratorium? the right way is to go to congress. and with the congress, put forth the congress declaring a moratorium and the president enforcing that moratorium. that's the way it's supposed to operate if you read this little book, the constitution of the united states. that's what it says. that's not what we get. the president of the un

the united states government can't act outside the bounds of what our constitution allows. but the founding fathers also believed that the united states had to follow international law and ought to follow international law and they wrote that in the constitution in a range of different ways including in a clause that says the treaties that we make, which are part international law, are in fact part of the law of the land. and some people believe that our constitution through, for example, the declaration of war provision, actually incorporates some of the principles of international law and requires us to follow international law. others disagree very strongly and say if the united states wants to break international law we're authorized to do that under our constitution the same way any other country can break international law if it wants to provided its willing to pay the consequences. so that remains a deep divide. i think all americans agrees that the first obligation is to follow our constitution. with respect to foreign entanglement, it's true that president washingto

we hear the term reset people obviously go to the united states and russia but i'd like to pose before we get to that reset if it's real or not real the greatest reset in international relations in the last twenty years since the end of the cold war is the new engagement that russia and china have which is quite remarkable ok so i want to talk about this triad a little bit here but first you know let's look at the reset is real and then we'll put china into it is the reset real or is it just a media event just for both sides to say it can't go on like this we really do have to talk to each other and we have to have some kind of. moment and it was a change of administration it's a change of administration and even if it only were a formula that allowed the two countries to talk together after a very difficult period in the relationship it would be important. that's what the reset has been about the countries are talking together now in a way they happened in the past four or five years there's an end. to be of engagement the senior levels that we haven't seen at least since the early ye

the united states needs russia supports and need gestures on the wrong and it does get russia needs the united states help to modernize its weaponry it's also guess so the logic of the reset works and there have been reports that iran has already acquired several s. three hundred systems from bella bruce now does iran still need missiles from russia well first of the reports have not been confirmed and there are still dots there were rumors. secondly well if you ask does iran need i think it does because the more. three hundred. weapon. systems it has the better for him do you think that this decision of moscow will have any effect on the balance of power in the middle east not treeless so do you two reasons first . i relived that the united states seriously contemplates. conducting a military strike against iran because the consequences will be disastrous indispensable whether iran has those. missile or anti air. three hundred almost and secondly russia has made it very clear that indispensable of reposts mong with the united states and indispensable of this decision to. purchase never
