it's a very big focus for us right now. >> was that a decision of the national security council? mething we have looked at in the national i ask -- in the security council. i don't recall if the decision was taken for that particular measure. >> that's very helpful. this isn't just about foreign policy. there is a domestic element. but there are other issues where people might say, hang on, defending country against terrorism we put 600 million a year into counterterrorism. another two billion pounds on the single intelligence account. momenthave people at the having problems with floods, and our expenditure on flood defense was last year 560 million, rising next year. does the national security council get involved in deciding how to allocate resources between the different risks on the national risk list and if so how do you reach a conclusion? >> it's a very good question. what we have is a national risk assessment as well as a national risk register which is a document we used to try and assess these risks. we discuss that and agree and try to make sure we're dealing with risk

national security threat on the united states. the national security act, of course, also created the national security council, and the -- defense department. the creation of the central intelligence agency really laid the foundations for the modern american intelligence community. the fault of the national security act of 1947 was that it seemed to give the central intelligence agency many responsibilities for coordinating the variety of intelligence entities across the federal government, but not enough authority to do the job. so let me break it down for you just, if i could. the cia, of course, is famous for two missions you're all familiar with. covert action and the recruitment of spies around the world. the security act of '47 also sought to make the cia director give him another mission, which was to manage the community to be the dci and coordinate the growing infrastructure of intelligence agencies that had begun to group around world war ii. as you approached through the cold war years, a variety of task forces and commissions noticed that the underlying ability of the director of central intelligence to coordinate, fo

the united nations security council gave them permission to use forms. sanctions, and threatened the political process. >> it's sending a message to those who were committing violence by setting up a sanctions regime. the homes of muslim residents were looted. evidence that tension and the potential for violence remain high. some say a full-fledge of u.n. peacekeeping sources are necessary. >> they fall short of what is needed underground which is a u.n. peacekeeping force. they are better equipped. >> the security council has been weighing the option of a u.n. peace-keeping force. the afghan union insists it can get the job done. the french insist they can get more hep. no action is expected until march. >> nicaragua's president ortagao be re-elected indefinitely now that presidential terms have been removed. critics see the approval of the term limits bill as a way to stay in tower. ortaga has been president for seven years and is widely expected to seek another term. >> leaders from across latin america and the caribbean are meeting in the cuban capit

mentioning the future of 2020, for example with the structure of the reserve including the national security council. you have a right to be concerned about that? >> i never want to criticize this. i think the national security council to discuss the structure before the announcement was ready. i don't want to give you the impression this is outside. singapore by the secretary of state for defense? >> right, and i think that was very much done by the nmc in a piece that we sorted out later with the overall structure. i'm right in saying that the reserve work was commissioned by the nfc and then the result of that in the future structure that was discussed before was part of it. am i right? >> that's good to know. >> if you're saying that you should have done the whole thing, that honestly would have been sometimes taking a few innovations to get exactly right. >> thank you. this puts it into perception. amongst the people indicate what we have here is incident which you outlined in which we would all agree with. so who is actually responsible for engaging the public so that it is not just a knee-jer

have serious issues to talk about in terms of compliance with the agreement that the united nations security council has ratified that is now a global legal international obligation. and i would remind her of. the agreement that we reached in new york with the security council makes it clear that if there are issues of noncompliance they will be referred to the security council for chapter seven. well of this is of course a warning that if the assad regime doesn't listen what would happen is a possible return of negotiations at the united nations security council because under the a deal brokered by russia and the united states assad of course means to move chemical weapons out if not negotiations would resume in terms of possible further steps or possible further sanctions and this deal of course was reached last september after the west threatened with military action a following an alleged chemical weapon use in syria that the united states blamed on the assad regime now while all of this is going on it's important to keep in mind that syria is saying that the reasons for any delays are purely re

look at the support the united nations security council gets after each and every nuclear test. disruption -- the when it comes to disrupting the progress of the north nuclear program, the united states uses a range of national multilateral sanctions. these sanctions target north and are designed to curtail profits from weapons export in response to critical technologies abroad. this has the effect of slowing the growth of the program. they will continue to be critical in impeding the qualitative and quantitative growth of these capabilities that north korea seeks. did terry -- that some -- a we talked-- deterring about the importance of extended deterrents. 44thcm in october, secretary hagel reaffirmed the continued u.s. commitment to provide and strengthen extended deterrents for the republic of korea using the full range of capabilities. focus on full range and the united states. -- the united states. there's not much more to say as far as deterrents. you will get no better guarantee that we are prepared to meet the threat posed by north korea and its evolving nuclear met --

if you take a look, he was a deputy on the nasa national security council for bush. >> you're saying political people were making a lot of decisions and influencing the decisions, and that's different than having national security people make decisions. >> well again, when i worked for reagan, mike was very close. gabriel was the one who told him to call bege n. you got to sell to the american people and sell it to congress, and that's a constraint on what you want to do and need to do. the tea party want cut the defense budget so i think the political people need to take that into account when they're formulating a defense budget. >> kevin gates was a hold over from the george w. bush administration. will these revelations kee make someone think twice about keeping someone on from a previous party? >> no, i don't think so. everyone knew he was going to put this book out while he still had a chance to perhaps influence the second term and not wait three years until obama leaves, or 30 or 50 whatever. i think something is going on right now where politics in washington does not underst

but what we also see him doing is putting in place a national security council that is focused internal security, giving him control. he's going hard on western press. why? because as he starts to engage in the more difficult times of reform that you are talking about, that creates weakness and vulnerability, he doesn't need a national security council that will kick the can for a year, but he needs one if they start having seriously truculent people that say i don't i don't want to grow. he's created consensus at the top, and it may not work, this is unprecedented stuff. >> i don't want to -- we'll see about xi, but internationally he's been playing his hand very poorly. it's hardest to think of more useless prove indications they could make against the japanese, against the philippines, against vietnam, and increasingly against the united states as far as our treaty involvement. >> i'm much with ian, this is all about domestic politics,al those prove indications are weighing of buying himself credibility with the pla, with the chinese army, and similarly he's -- i think he's just show

nations. security council - it looked like turkey and brazil had made a break through. local considerations, commercial considerations and we have seen a knock-on effect if you like, but there was some effort here to get around the sanctions imposed on iran, getting around restrictions by using gold as a currency. it reached billions worth of trade. it kept iran going. it was not lacking. it has to be pointed out along the way incentives handed out to business people and officials are mired. a mixed blessing. but the restrictions are off. turkey is looking at iran and iran in the opposite direction, and i won't use the word gold rush, but economic potential there. the two cannot afford to exploit that. >> there are political communications in the region are expressed by the analyst at the crisis group, who i spoke to a little earlier. >> i think the most important element is the element that is pushing the two countries towards each other. the fact that they strived for economic and political soup rem si in the evening, and they failed for different reasons. but at the

security council for bush. he's been involved and was a member of the national security council. >> what are you saying that political people were making a lot of decisions or influencing the decisions. that's different to having the national security people making a decision. >> again, what is political. when i worked dieber was the one telling them to call others. political people don't understand what is going on, and they recognise if you have a policy, you have to sell it to the american people, to congress, and it's a constraint on what you want to do and need to do. the political people now, the tea party people want to cut the defense budget, which is different to previous republicans. they need to take that into account when formulating a defense budget. gates was a hold over from the george w. bush administration. will presidents think twice about keeping on someone from another party? >> i don't think there's anything to do with that. every move he makes, this is life. he knew that would put his book out early in the second temp, while he had a chance to influence a second term and what is going on, and no

but what we all also see him doing is putting in place a national security council that is focused internalecurity, gives him control there. he's going hard on western press. why? because as he starts to engage in the more difficult types of reform that you're talking about to create weakness and vulnerability for the chinese communist party, he doesn't need a national security council that will kick the can for a year but he needs one if they have serious political leaders in provinces or elites in state owned enterprises that say i don't want to go. he's going to have that capacity. this is a leader that has creatcreate ed consensus at the top. it may not work. this is unprecedented stuff. >> i don't want to -- we'll see. internationally he's been playing his hand very poorly. it's hard to think of more useless provocations than china could make against the japanese, against the philippines, against vietnam and increasingly against the united states as well in sore far as our treaty obligations are involved. >> you're looking at this from the international point of view. i'm much with ian

he was a member of the national security council staff in the clinton and bush administrations. and thomas drake, he was prosecuted for revealing unclassified details of the n schumachera's surveillance programs. mark, let me start with you, when the administration uses words like massive, and costly, when it devils into what some critics have called high personally, how are we to understand the value of what edward snowden took, and the damage it has done. >> well, we will be sorting out the value of what he took for a very long time. but based oen what we with do know, it appears to have been truly among the most sensitive and important secrets that nsa really one of the backbones of the community, has. and in terms of just the volume of what he took away with him, i can really only think of one other precedent, and it even surpasses that and that's the walker whit ward spiraling. he was a chief petty office that spied for the soviets for nearly 20 years in the 60's into the 80's and what he gave away was information that allowed the soviets to intercept almost all navy commun

we do have a response from the national security council . . . del a day such as today.very week on wednesday the president sits down with the vice president for a private lunch on, never in the history of this administration have they opened it up for press conference, today they are ping waiting the point that they are making in this statement, they have opened it up for video and still photographer's image. as far as the president, they say that the president -- the white house really taking the high road, hayden saying that the president appreciates all of the input enhances his options and things of that nature. so the white house sort of trying to not feed this fire, but it certainly has taken washington by storm. >> mike it is also fascinating in the sense that there was a time when vice presidents had nothing to do, now with cheney and biden, they had something to do and now they are the focus of tell-all books. >> right. you look at joe biden his long experience in senate, as chairman of the judiciary committee, and the foreign relations committee, the was the p

after a march 2010 national security council meeting gates writes, i thought the president doesn't trust the commander, can't stand karzai, doesn't believe in his own strat they, and doesn't are consider the war to be his. for him it's all about getting out. this, although gates had told matt lauer about the war. >> i think we're on the same war. >> reporter: gates accuses biden of poisoning the well against the leadership and cites the security team for being aggressive, suspicious and sometimes condescending questioning our military leaders. and while praising hillary clinton, gates expresses dismay at hearing clinton tell the president shea only opposed the iraq war because she was running against him in the iowa caucuses. gates wrats that the president in turn conceded his opposition to the iraq surge was political. still, despite his unusual harsh criticism of obama, gates called the raid against bin ladosama bn one of the most courageous decisions i've ever witnessed in the white house. the gates book is arming critics of the iraq strategy as well. >> 90 some americans died in fall
