wendy sherman said last friday that the past limits future possibilities for cooperation among south korea, china and japan. >> nationalist feelings can still be ex-employed and it's not hard for a political leader anywhere to earn cheap applause. >> she added that such provocations produce paralysis not progress. protestors gathered near the u.s. embassy in seoul. they demanded the u.s. apologize for writing off japan's past actions when the korean peninsula was under japanese colonial recall. >> it's a shocking comment that should never be repeated. it opened the wounds of the korean people who experienced the pain of japanese em peerlism. >> they have also accused washington of taking japan's side. they appear to be struggling ease the concerns by saying the u.s. stance remains unchanged. >>> representatives from across china have begun their talks at the national people's congress. we go live from the great hall of the people in beijing, about 3,000 representatives have gathered here. premier lee is to announce the government's plans for the year. he's said to announce an annual

if you remember wendy sherman was coordinator for north korea. iran, but now north korea has nukes and everything they promised turned out to be a lie. we haven't gotten information from them since 2007. >> i understand your point but i want to focus on iron and i asked you specifically are you for a deal with iran? >> not without full information. we should never have pulled the sanctions. they were coming forward with more information, but until they gave us complete access to all their facilities we should never have pulled the sanctions. >> there are some sanctions still in place but you feel like they're not effective? >> no. >> the leaders of iran are saying look, wee are willing to put a deal with you but here's the deal. you have to lift the sanctions immediately. we don't want some sort of tenure deal. we're go for a seven year deal if you get rid of the sanctions immediately. >> originally we were going to require complete dismantling of the nuclear capabilities of this nation. they are a terrorist nation, a sponsor of terrorism, worst

deal which clearly didn't work is the person who is negotiating right now the chief negotiator wendy sherman is now negotiating with iran. but the question of whether sanctions will work, oil has come down tremendously half of what it was a year-and-a-half ago. now more than ever i would think that sanctions would work because they rely so much on oil. >> i agree. welcome aboard austin, it's good to be with you. listen, they have worked because the post 9/11 george w. bush put in the crack town on terrorist financing and iran is on that list. it ushered in a moderate you know, rahani. hundreds of dozens of international companies fled iran, the economy is is in trouble millions of iranians don't like the regime and what they're doing, there's food sort ajs and inflation and we've got iran not being able to deal with numerous countries because it's a terrorist continuesed listed blacklisted country. >> bruce you don't have to go to war, just ramp up the sanctions. >> well, i mean, one of high problems with the speech was is that he didn't outline what he wanted to do. i think we should contin

we just had undersecretary wendy sherman was over there a month ago. deputy secretary toni blinken was over there two weeks ago. i'm going over in about a month to follow up on that visit. we have president xi coming here for a visit in the fall. we have major presence with our negotiations right now with vietnam, malaysia. i've been talking personally with the prime ministers and foreign ministers of these countries. we're deeply, deeply engaged in this rebalance. we've never had that many high-level visits taking place. we've had a revamping of the defense policy with with japan with south korea. we are engaged. the president was there for his fifth trip. i think i've made seven since i've been secretary. so we're -- i think that every step -- every step the east asia pacific bureau is taking and every step the higher level of the state department is taking and the administration is following up on this notion of the rebalance and of its importance. >> thank you mr. secretary. thank you, mr. chairman. >> thank you. senator i would say on the consulta

wendy sherman was involved in negotiating that deal.a nuclear bomb but missles capable of using those bombs and a lot of people are concerned the same thing is going to happen with iran right now. why shouldn't they be so concerned? >> well, from a technical standpoint we're not completely different places when we look at the program today than we were with north koreas. if you look at the months we've been negotiating, we've been living under the plan of action. the nuclear program is frozing and the i.a. e.a. has confirmed living up to their commitments. we're talking about much more transparency much more verification and we will not take a bad deal wolf. if we get one, it will be one we can talk about publicly we can defend publicly and it will be confident and meets our bottom lines here. that's what we're working towards. we can still get it done. i don't know if we'll be able to. >> i remember covering the aftermath of the deal. there was a lot of optimism. this was a new chapter. the korean peninsula was going to be a different

secretary kerry, wendy sherman and other colleagues are there as we eat. -- as we speak.no one is watching more closely than the countries of central asia. iran's historic and cultural ties to the region are deep and long-standing. and for countries that focus on the connectivity to the rest of the world, he ran stands -- iran stands as a gateway to asia. but the unique complexities do not stop at the border with iran. the region looks up to china and it growing economic influence. it supports afghanistan's cautious transition. and it warily guards against the growing extremist ideology of his youth. china is large in the region with its ambitious plans to advance connectivity through over land and maritime routes. it has committed tens of billions of dollars to building roads and rails to better connected factories and markets in asia and europe. and we support these efforts to connect the region. but we also urge that they advanced trade in all directions and adhere to international norms. we don't see china's involvement in central asia in zero-sum terms. it developmen

and wendy sherman in her discussion didn't raise any violations i know because there haven't been any violations. we have sanctioned individual companies during the course of this time with the interim agreement, we have actually imposed more sanctions, and we've sanctioned individuals and companies and there are those being held accountable. and iran operates light water reactors at bashir and they pose left of a risk for the potential of civilian power production than other types of reactors that are prohibited by the u.n. security council so what they are doing now is not, in fact, a violation. and we've been clear in making -- in defining that the purpose of the negotiations we're in now with iran is to ensure that their nuclear program is exclusively for civilian purposes. that is the key here. they could have a civilian peaceful program so when you get into the number of centrifuges and this and that, if you have a civilian power plant and producing power legitimately and not a threat to proliferation, you could have 190,000 or more centrifuges and if they are power plants produ

secretary kerry, the undersecretary at the state department, wendy sherman. a lot of high-level people, and the president being regularly updated. reporter: is it called upon -- ac called upon to make a ruling on any point of contention? press sec. earnest: those updates that he receives our substance to -- are substantive. there is a useful back and forth. to the extent these conversations are just one way. i would anticipate that that would continue over the weekend as well. reporter: and of march, in other words, tuesday at midnight whatever time zone we are in? press sec. earnest: you want to set up a countdown clock? reporter: absolutely. are all the rage. some of these are very hard issues to nail down. how open are you to extending it one day, two days, three days, so on? press sec. earnest: i would not want to prejudge the outcome of this point. we have been clear that the and of march is a firm deadline. that is simply because these negotiations have taken place over the course of more than a year. that should be ample opportunity to reach an agreeme

i particularly thank wendy sherman and a team of international diplomats and expert teams and all thehe political directors have been here in daily meetings and briefings. all of this has been going on for months on these negotiations. i want to acknowledge the foreign ministers, the head of the team for approaching these talks with seriousness and purpose and the willingness to commit very long hours to work through what are very complicated issues. i am returning home today to washington stopping in london to coordinate with the european counter parts in the p 5 plus one and the foreign ministers of the united kingdom, germany france and the union. i spoke by telephone yesterday with the foreign minister of russia and with the foreign minister of china and i want to emphasis from the beginning, and i have said this in every public statement that i have made this is and remains a p five plus one negotiation with iran. i emphasize that we're united in the goal, approach, resolve and the determination to ensure that iran's program is peaceful. the union has continued to play a pivotal
