u.s. cables to wikileaks, we spend the hour with wikileaks founder julian assange. while manning has been sentenced to 35 years in prison, assange has been living for nearly three years inside the ecuadoran embassy in london where he has political asylum. on wednesday, wikileaks released a database containing half a million u.s. diplomatic cables from 1978. >> 1978 actually set in progress many of the regional elements geopolitical elements, that are playing out today. for example, 1978 was the beginning of the iranian revolution, the push against the shaw was started in 1978 demonstrations similarly in a corolla -- nicaragua. in 1978, started the popular form as a result of the killing of a newspaper editor. amy: and we will hear the inside story about why the united states forced bolivian president evo morales' plane to land in 2013 in austria during the hunt for edward snowden. the story may surprise you. someone was listening to julian assange's phone calls. >> the u.s. should apologiz

the u.s. defense secretary says iraq's army has lost the will to take on isil. >>> new questions raised about a connection between donations to the clinton foundation and arm sales approved by hillary clinton's state department. one week after being driven out by isil fighters, iraq security forces launched a new operation to try and take aback the strategic city of ramadi. even if the iraqis succeed, it will take years to dislodge the group completely. that's why the recriminations from iraq's main military backers in washington are piling up. over the weekend secretary of defense ashton carter all but blasted iraqi military units for losing ramadi in the first place. he accused them of showing, quote, no will to fight. that's despite the billions washington has spent on advisers and weapons and other military aid since last summer to roll back isil's gains in iraq. in fact, the return on the entire two and a half trillion dollar u.s. investment in iraq since 2003 looks awfully slim these day

the u.s.d coalition is supporting the iraqi government with air strikes. >> the u.s. government is watching developments in ramadi and anbar province with concern, however, the state department spokesperson said on friday that this is an area that has been contested between the iraqi military and isil for several months, and so the situation is not as clear-cut as some might assume. >> there will be good days and bad days in iraq. isil is trying to make today a bad day in ramadi. we have said all along we see this as a long-term fight in conjunction with our iraqi partners against isil. we are -- we are confident that -- that iraqi forces with support from the coalition will continue to push back isil where they have tried to gain advantages on the ground. so you know, our -- our policy and our engagement retains retains -- remains the same. >> reporter: the u.s.-lead coalition has been conducting air strikes in support of the iraqi military's efforts to push back isil. however, they say there

that's the era when not only u.s. born japanese-american, u.s. citizens, but also some family members of those american citizens whose citizenship was japanese. but because of the family connections and actual family members they already had in the states decided to migrate from japan to america. that's when the diversification of american survivors group started. it obviously started to include not only u.s.-born survivors of the bomb, but also japan-born but now u.s. immigrant survivors of the bomb. later on they came together. it took them a long time to sort of come to america. it varied. >> there was a propensity of japanese-americans who had been in the internment camps not to talk about their experiences. not even with their families, their children, later on. what about the people who -- the japanese-americans who had been in hiroshima and nagasaki when they came back to the united states, did they talk about what they experienced? >> i think the answer to that is largely no. actually, one practical reason why they remained silent about t

but u.s. officials say there is absolutely no reason to believe al baghdadi was wounded, and they say he still remains a major player. as barbara starr reports they believe isis is showing growing signs of strength, particularly when it comes to cyberspace. >> reporter: u.s. intelligence believes isis leader baghdadi remains firmly in charge. there's no intelligence indicating he's been injured in a recent coalition airstrike despite press reports. the u.s. has already identified these menace potential successors to the isis leadership, put being millions of dollars of reward on each of their heads. there's no shortage of supporters on the ground or online. the latest, this video from a fringe, pro-isis hacking group threatening a seeker attack is coming. >> the thing i always look for is at what point do groups decide that they need to move from viewing the internet as a source of recruitment as a way to spread ideology, do we see it more of greater concern, as viewing it as a potential weapo

the u.s. dollar has been losing ground. that's allowing u.s. equities to out perform last week and hit new highs, whereas the euro has rebounded that has meant european markets have rebounded more. >> this weakness that we're seeing in the u.s. dollar is being welcomed by those international companies that make most of their revenue outside of u.s. the question is how long will this continue especially if the forecast is for data to improve to the up side. that keeps the dollar trend -- the dla bull trend intact. >> let's focus to one of the biggest individual movers already, in asian trade and london trade. bhp shares are -- /* -- before bouncing back in today's trade. south 32 shares fell over 3% in the first day of trade. >> reporter: it was a disappointing day for the bhp spin-off south 32 which made its share market debut in australia. hitting the boards at $2.13 a share but falling below that level through the trading day. it was set to 2 australian dollars a share but coming in at the l

the u.s. basically left iraq but as soon as the u.s. did, the iraqi military for all practical purposes collapsed in mosul, now collapsed in ramadi collapsing elsewhere. if the u.s. were to spend another decade training them why do you thinks the outcome would be any different the next time the u.s. pulled out? >> yeah. several answers to that. one, even though president bush did have that timeline it was clear that he expected and wanted troops to stay there longer. that was something that had to be done as a political reality for maliki at the time. president obama should have fought harder with the iraqis to have a permanent ground force of -- between 10 and 20,000. once we left i hate to use this term but the iraqis lost their adult supervision and that's when maliki was inserting his favorites in there, knocking out the more qualified commanders on the ground. he totally politicized the army. if you go back to 2008/2009, the iraqi army was a reasonably good force, but after that once the u.s. was gone and maliki took over total con

the u.s. air forces considered this country's preparedness for war, he recognized that america did not have nearly enough airplanes or pilots to fly them. three years before the japanese attack on pearl harbor the u.s. army air forces was comprised of 21,000 airmen and 1800 aircraft. but by the end of the war, the army air forces included 2.3 million people and production of aircraft of all types reached nearly 300,000. in a war that military leaders learned would be determined by air superiority, this unprecedented, almost inconceivable increase in american air power was widely recognized to be one of the most important factors in the allies victory. the three years before pearl harbor, that challenge had not yet been solved and the united states was looking at an immense disparity between what it had and what it would soon need. so drawing on the expertise of prominent aviation leaders the military created what would become the civilian pilot training program. by this time by the time the pr

the superiority of u.s. pilots was so dramatic that the battle came to be known as the great mariana's turkey shoot. the battle included the loss of 11 japanese ships, including three aircraft carriers. the u.s. navy attacked enemy ships, dive bombers and torpedo bombers. what you will see here today are two torpedo bombers and a single held either, the only hell diver of over 7000 built that is still flying today. the battle eliminated the japanese navy's ability to conduct large-scale carrier operations, giving the u.s. a new level of naval dominance that lasted until the end of the war. >> ladies and gentlemen, we have two guests with us today senator robert dold and senator warner. they are in the front row. let's hear it for them. >> ladies and gentlemen, here come the two avengers and the curtis helldiver, nicknamed the big tailed beast. the battle of the bulge was germany's last major offensive campaign in world war ii. it began in mid-december of 1944 as a surprise attack on american forces in belgiu

if the u.s. forces are attacked in the line of their duty, unless yapjapan is attacked japan could not do anything. we could not do anything we did not do anything and that was japan's position up to now. is it really fair? in the seas near japan if u.s. forces are attacked we could also be jeopardized, and endangered. this is not somebody else's problem, but our own crisis. if our lives and peaceful living are exposed to clear danger and there's no other appropriate measures to eliminate that danger and the counter measures would be within the minimum necessity. these three conditions are stipulated as strict limits in the bill. and the diet is necessary, needless to say. in a very limited manner we will allow for the use of the right of collective self-defense. but even then japan could involve itself in american war. some might be anxious. but to those who are anxious, i will explicitly mention that, that is absolutely impossible. the new japan/u.s. agreement stipulates this clearly japan will

but about 50% of illegal crossers attempt to travel to the u.s. interior. u.s. citizens are angry.e pressure comes down on the u.s. border patrol. in 1994, the man in charge of el paso is sylvestre reyes. when i first got here, the problem that i saw in this area was a strategy that pretty much guaranteed us to fail at maintaining control of this border. narrator: before 1993, the border patrol more or less looked the other way allowing people to cross freely. the policy sort of invited the mexicans in for a game of "cat and mouse." the strategy required our officers to be in the neighborhoods here in the el paso area and then try and chase people down after they had made an illegal entry into the metropolitan area of el paso. narrator: sometimes they were captured one by one. sometimes they were rounded up in waves. chief reyes set forth a whole new approach to guarding the border. it's called "operation hold the line." reyes: what we did to adjust, or to compensate, for that is move all our agents right up on the international line itself, right up here on the rio grande river an

the u.s. invasion of mexico was somehow wicked. one thing i will talk about is the evolution of the american public during the course of the war, which was not long by any means, from being enthusiastic and in favor of invading mexico to largely turning against the war. i see the u.s.-mexico war as the moment of america's first antiwar movement coming into being. there was antiwar sentiment during the revolution and certainly during the war of 1812 but that sentiment was limited. what you see in 1847 is a consensus across the board. people from different regions across the country soldiers in the field, officers, politicians, all the citing a war being waged in another country was wrong and protesting that war. i think that is an interesting moment in american history. it takes place in a war that people do not know much about. the u.s.-mexico war people don't write about it a lot. it does not have a good place in the historical imagination of americans. it is often confused with the texas rev
