two crops up the crisis in ukraine i'm joined by my guest alexander make your wrists in london he is a writer on legal affairs and an analyst in brussels we have gone to how he is the director of the european center of the carnegie endowment for international peace and in moscow we cross to mark slowly he is a senior lecturer in research or at moscow state university or gentlemen cross-talk rules in effect i mean you can jump in anytime you want if i go to you in brussels the ukrainian government survived a vote of no confidence today but at the same time there are voices in the european union and some prominent newspapers as well as some prominent european union officials are saying that the government now in ukraine is illegitimate which is rather strange isn't it because two weeks ago they were negotiations with it so are we experiencing a second orange revolution in ukraine a lot towards going to turn into a second orange revolution. and of course it's likely thirdly as you say to talk about non-legitimate government that's very clear but it also has not been entirely throbbed ru

finishes point alexander finished at a point what the russian set. what the russians said is we are not in a free trade area with the european union perhaps one day we would like to be but we cannot have a situation where our market is flooded with european goods through the ukraine with which we have a free trade agreement so what the russians basically said was if you go ahead with this is an agreement then your arrangements with us and and that was something that i think the ukrainians woke up to in the autumn on top of the fact that the ukrainian industrialists also work up to the enormous amount of view norma's costs this is going to impose on them if they preceded mayor. i just make one very final point about this in response to the things that young has said one has got to understand in talking about the ukraine that russia is there just as eastern ukrainians all that if you're going to make this work if you're going to have some kind of an association with the ukraine and the european union you have to involve russia you can't just wish russi

alexander, you are up first as our happiness expert. divine for us and measure happiness in the 21st century. easy question. >> s this a question that philosophers have struggled with for thousands of years. the term, happiness, in my phone number, life satisfaction, where you stop people and them on a scale of 1-10, all things considered, how happy are you with your life? and they will give you a rating. and the other thing, how you feel on a day-to-day basis. you can ask them about their day yesterday, and you ask them how you feel. and there's a happiness curve for that day. so my satisfaction is measured, and that's why it's used in a lot of surveys. it's a very valuable tool. but it's more about how you think about your life. rational decision, are you satisfied with your life? whereas the emotional component, how do you feel about your life? is in my opinion just as important, or maybe more important. because that's what actually determines how you feel on a day-to-day basis. today, right now, doing what you're doing, do you feel

alexander massaged it. wonderful words. deep, simple, expressive.avis: what do you think that this project in black-and-white, what is the take away? what is the connect for the audience seeing this movie shot in that way? >> it has to do with the starkness of that environment. there is a warmth there as well. i had never been there before and going back there to shoot this film, i was there on two different occasions and i look forward to going back because the rhythm of life and the cultural aspect of the way people live is so different than living in the big city. it is much simpler, less complicated. world could get in rosie --make things to too rosy. we are looking at the emotions and the character of the behavior -- the emotions and the behavior of the character. tavis: this is a great segue to your book. there have been less complicated moments in your life and more complicated moments in your life. i was struck by the candor and the transparency, the honesty on why put all of this in a book? there is a lot here. >> i better do it while i can

his name is andrew alexander. >> there was no proof that this guy above him had done anything. but while we were filming i glanced up and i saw andrew alexander staring at me through his window. and i kind of asked him with my mouth, did you do this? and he just had the most cold, evil smile come across his face. >> though it couldn't be proven that alexander caused the flooding, we later confirmed that he had a reputation at holman. >> word had spread around and gotten back to me that andrew was actually probably one of their more violent and notorious inmates. >> when we finally met alexander in person, we discovered he once had a notorious reputation outside of prison as well. his crimes had occurred more than two decades earlier when he and his cousins were known as the i-10 bandits. >> we might strike in texas. then the next time they see us, we were in florida the next day. we never got off the highway. >> alexander estimates he and his cousin logged almost 60 robberies in six states. and the target was always the same. >> we were just robbing hotels. we weren't robbing n

has said that he's not in favor of this but legit is quite high up general alexander is retiring next year so his words certainly carry a fair amount of weight that being said edward snowden has also said that he shared the documents with journalists that a lot of them aren't in his hands anymore so it's a little hard to know what it would mean to hand them back to the n.s.a. and may simply mean the n.s.a. so wants to know what he took and doesn't yet know that that that alone would be significant for the agency and keith alexander himself it is still very against it so we'll have to see how all of this kind of pans out but again it will just wait till tomorrow will be new n.s.a. revelations to talk about rachel levinson wildman counsel for the brennan center of liberty and national security program thank you for coming on the show thank you well the c.b.s. news magazine program sixty minutes is under fire for the second time in as many months for a reporting scandal this time the program is being criticized for a recent two part series that looks into the n.s.a. director keith alexan

this is really fast the general alexander has said that he's not in favor of best of the electorate is quite high after alexander is retiring next year so his words certainly carry a fair amount of weight. that being said and what son is also said that share the documents with journalists that a lot of them aren't in his teens anymore. it was a little hard to know what it would need to hand them back to the nsa in me simply need an essay still want to know what he took and doesn't get nearly that bad that'll only be significant for the agency and keith alexander himself it is still very against it on so will have to see how all of this kind of cancer out. but again i love this way until tomorrow will be new nsa rattling. talk about rachel evans and mosman councils that brennan centers of liberty and national security program. thank you for coming on the shelf thinking of well the cbs news magazine program sixty minutes is under fire for the second time in many months for the reporting scandal this time the program is being criticized for a recent two part series that looks until the is

omar alexander has fire chief firstff has made his appearance in court today. he was walked out in handcuffs. >> we are across from the united ol.tes capital -- capit handcuffed and escorted out of his home, he is now formally charged with producing and distributing child orthography. the former chief of staff for senator lamar alexander will sit behind bars until his next court date on monday. that was a battering ram neighbors heard yesterday as agents raided his home. as that happens, prosecutors alleged he tried to hide critical evidence. him leaningvealed outside looking right and left. and then pasting outside of the window. a portable hard drive on which they found hundreds of videos depicting underage boys engaging in sexually explicit conduct. in court, prosecutors argued that he needed to be held because he was a flight risk and a danger the community because the crimes involve violence against children. senator alexander said he was stunned and has taken lockhart off the payroll. he was well-known and well-liked on the hill. what led authorities to h

. >> i think the best way to summarize the nsa surveillance mindset is to quote general alexander who runs the agency. he had a motto when he was in iraq, in charge of surveillance of the iraqi population against whom the united states waged war, which was, collect it all. >> what do you say to the people who are like, i don't do anything wrong, i don't care if they see my emails or hear my calls? people who say that don't actually believe it. they put locks on their bedroom and bathroom doors. every time somebody says to me, i have nothing to hide, i don't care about privacy, i always say to them, please give me all the passwords to your email accounts and your facebook account. nobody has ever taken me up on that offer because we instinctively as human beings know that we crave privacy. j. edgar hoover had information on everybody in congress and the white house. this now is information on them and everybody in the country. and everybody in the world, really. >> before edward snowden, there was william binney: a former senior official at the nsa who helped develop some of the early

and so many ways, the marissa alexander case opens this up. from what we know about this case, this is a woman who had just given birth to a child who hurt -- with her abusive husband. it was very clear that he abused her as well as other partners. in her attempt to protect, shooting more than at the ceiling, she ends up with 20 g -- 20 years or more in jail in florida. she has been incarcerated already for three years. away from that infant who she was trying to protect. i invite all of you at this point to reflect on either the question of the intergenerational nature of incarceration around women and children, but also if you want to to reflect specifically on marissa alexander and what we have learned about the intersection of domestic violence, the intergenerational nature, the lack of interest in making sure that a black mother is at home to in fact parent her child. myi want to continue discussion about mass criminalization and give you an idea of why i cleaned it that way. safeooking at the adoption families act that passed in 1996 whe

general alexander agreed to talk to us because he believes the nsa has not told its story well. >> we need to help the american people understand what we're doing and why we're doing it. >> it was a puff piece that left many important questions about the nsa's mass surveillance unasked. "wow, "60 minutes" piece about nsa was just embarrassing. kudos to nsa communication staff. you guys should get a raise." joining us a ryan lizza and michael, senior media reporter for huffington post and, ryan, let's start with that tweet. i wasn't watching "60 minutes" so it was your tweets that made me curious. why a win for nsa and a loss for viewers? >> the reciporter who did it number one. nothing wrong with that experience who is now obviously a journalist doing the report, right? he's got access. he's got knowledge of the system. you have to judge it by final product and if you're going to have someone who has a conflict of interest like that do the report, it has to be tough. we're in the middle of a massive debate in in country about privacy and security and the entire piece was a one-sided s

alexander: thank you. mrs. shaheen: thank you, madam president. and senator alexander. i came to the floor this evening to talk about the importance of congress doing its job and passing a budget. we need a budget that's going to provide certainty for our economy, that will eliminate reckless spending cuts and will cost -- foster job creation. we hear this week that senator budget committee chair patty murray and house budget committee chair paul ryan may be close to just such an agreement. i think that's very good news because we need a budget deal so we can put an end to the manufactured crises that have hurt too many families and businesses in 23456r7 and across this country. i know that i speak for many of us here in the senate when i say that our primary focus really should be on continuing to put in place an environment that creates jobs, that lays a foundation for economic growth, and that's one of the things that getting a budget deal would help do. we've recently seen some signs of progress in the economy, the jobs report on friday was positive with over 200,00
