we live in a peaceful school. what do you say? we live in a peaceful school. a peaceful school. okay. it's a peaceful school. very good. it's forbid tone wear a scarf. many this is my religion. if my religion says i have to cover myself, why is it forbidden. is it for the teachers? no, the students, too. for the teachers, yes. yes. my cousin works in a department store. she's not allowed to wear a scarf either. she has to take it off when she comes to work and she puts it back on when she goes in the street. yes, for teachers, that's what we decided. and also it's been decided legally by courts that we need to have neutrality to religion. of course, your s specific connotation. and teachers should not wear it. of course, with the students, it depends. so your i allowed toeish that including secretaries. but every time we try to wear it, people take it off. now that you talked to the chancellor, maybe she'll do somethin lot of problems. i don't want to be responsible. if you say the chancellor decided -- yes? i'm could hame here from a volu group for unemployment and security, ex

the -- and the key course in a peace process is for the parties to understand where america stands. i think one of the president's biggest mistakes with regard to peace in the middle east was confused in the palestinians as to where america's interest and america's commitment stood. my view is we have to communicate that we stand with israel. there's not an inch of distance between the two of us and that allows the palestinians to know that we will not allow them to pursue at the u.n. or anywhere else the one-state solution which excludes a jewish state. my view is we have to be clear we stand with israel. we insist that israel doesn't make unilateral decisions, that we'll stand by our friend. >> thank you, sir. >> our final question from barry logren. >> good morning, governor, thank you for being with us. >> thank you, good to be with you. >> what are some things that stands out to you about the country and the people? >> you know, my first trip was over a decade ago, i believe, and i went with a church group from my church and a group of friends. we went really to see the historic

lot of pressure to to move towards a peace process but the pressure to move more towards civil war because i think that the proposal of course we learned brought forward is the first real proposal for a true peace process and a cease fire but there could bring stability to the region. i think the e.u. is trying to battle this new. six point plan why would the e.u. want civil war in syria. well it's it is it is in the strategic interest where it seems to be in the strategic interest of the europeans to here the with the western and nato forces to to instill. in libya here. to overthrow the government of president assad what a short carry on you know it in order to do that you know have to. hinder the true peace plan. to to still move on further to fire up the conflicts within syria so so banning a sad relatives from traveling to europe and also putting pressure on other members close to the regime i mean that really would make some sort of difference to what's really going on on the ground in syria well it it's it's kind of an

a year. the change we've seen has manifested itself in different ways. sometimes through peaceful protests and negotiations, aimed at a more responsive government. but also, in other cases, in violent uprising and brutal crackdowns from repressive regimes. many countries have been affected by these changes. and although each conflict has its own dynamic, it's part of a broader trend that is fundamentally and irreversibly reshaping the politics of the arab world. although this is clearly a challenging and unpredictable period of time, our goal must be to encourage governments to do more to insure that their people can live in peace and prosperity. as a global leader with a vital interest in the stability of the broader middle east, this administration has been determined to do everything we can to positively shape the course of events in the middle east. but each situation by virtue of the politics, geography and history of each country, is unique and demands a unique response. there can be no cookie cutter approach for a region as complex and volatile as the middle east. neverthel

a good foreign policy advisors this. stance will be that they don't believe this peace is a table in syria as long as weapons are finding their way into the hands of the rebels they going to say that that needs to stop if peace is to be to be open to change and also to call for a swift halt to the violence in russia and say that both sides have to sit down have to discuss a deal could bring about a peaceful solution and we're also expecting to hear this president believes that it's unlikely that the group the friends of syria containing countries like the united states and some gulf states as well that they will be able to to bring about some peaceful solution namely the stumble on the first of april also skeptical of their chances. in moscow before he heads off to china china of course the other nation that vetoed the u.n. resolutions on syria previously did go on to the security council he'll be in beijing for talks next week no kofi annan has laid out a six point plan to come to a peaceful solution in syria now some of those points include a cease fire for both sides also humanitarian aid being able to to get to those

foreign countries and groups are already waging a clandestine war in the country it is hard to see a peaceful end to this conflict particularly for the people on the ground that. can still. to cross talk a civil war in syria i'm joined by rod one day in washington he's a visiting scholar at the institute for middle east studies at the elliott school of international affairs at george washington university also in washington we go to jacob hornberger he is founder and president of the future of freedom foundation and in new york we have to leave well alone he is the united nations director at human rights watch all right gentlemen crosstalk rosenfeld that means you can jump in anytime you want jacob if i can go to you first i didn't watching the syrian conflict and american british t.v. western media in general and it's basically good guys and bad guys so can you explain to me who the good guys are and who are the bad guys are because we have a regime that's killing its own people and we have an armed insurrection resorting to terrorism so please tell me who are the good guys and the bad guys.

a second and ask ourselves what is the best path to end the violence in syria. and we discussed this at length at the national security council. i think the answer is the best path to peace for syria is a transition at the top of the regime with assad going. i think that the idea of transition at the top is actually possibly a better outcome -- a less bloody outcome from resolution at the bottom. those giving sucker to president assad somehow think him stay is not having him stay is a cause of instability and when revolution from the bottom helps to unseating. but i think in terms of enlding the bloodshed, getting a better outcome in syria, transition at the top is the best answer. >> but the foreign secretary said an answer to a question to me there's no limit to what resources we can provide -- talking about helping the rebels, we may be able to do more in the future. what does he -- >> there are stages in this. first of all as i've said it's important that the syrian opposition has become better organized. i think that has now happened. and i think the meeting of the friends of syria group has been helpful at encouraging that. there's then the supply of advice and inf

that they would have that's a really tough question to answer. i might have taken peace rather than justice in that case. that's a tough thing to say because i'm obsessed with justice. but it's a tough tough call. we're not in that time. we're in this time where it would certainly help to get joseph kony, and they've done an unbelievable job in drawing attention to it, and there is a lot to learn from it. ana, thank you for that story. we appreciate it. she's a bit of an expert on that. i love that. now when we come back--when you know, mitt romney did a pledge to the more mormon church when he got married. and then we'll going to talk about what is the mormon church about. we'll talk about the secrets of the church when we come back. i'm keith baraka and i'm a firefighter. and it's very physically demanding. if i'm sore i'm not at my best. advil® is my go-to. it's my number one pain reliever.

society wants let's talk about what the leaders and the leaders here i don't think are interested in a peace process you know we said something earlier someone said something earlier about that iran using diplomacy as a way to stall and i think that absolutely applies to israel as well i mean diplomacy has bought israel time to build more settlements to you know really clamp down on gaza the blockade on gaza which is cruel and inhumane and so no i don't think that you know israel will disarm if we have peace i mean it's not it's not going to happen we won't have peace. before israel disarms it's a catch twenty two bit valerie what do you think the next step is i mean how worried are you that there will be a military strike against iran. i think that we're entering a period now which will be critical it will depend i think to a large extent on the type of sanctions that are put in place in the next say six months or so and it will depend on it iran's approach at the negotiating table because i think there will be some type of some type of talks i think a year from now we're going to be lookin
