apac. thousands of people come in. if benjamin netanyahu had wanted an invitation, we would have gotten mitt they're always happy to hear him. he would have come to speak to him. the coverage of his speech would have been front page above the fold right hand lead on every major newspaper in the country. now, instead he'll speak at apac but also to congress. what is the delta between the coverage that benjamin netanyahu would have cotton just for a speech at apac compared to congress? i think it would be insignificant. i think this whole thing is an example of high school mentality in the white house. i think it's an embarrassment to the presidency and maybe that's what secretary is trying to do. >> the critics say it reflects poorly on the prime minister but what's interesting the new york times says they think the administration thinks an imperfect deal is better than no deal. do you believe that and what will be prime minister be warning about that we should listen to? >> this is obviously the heart of the controvers

both of speaking at apac on monday. such shows of disrespect, benjamin netanyahu within the democratic party but it remains unclear how deep a shift is occurring in washington. only 30 congressional democrats out of 232 have said they will not be attending mr. netanyahu's address on tuesday. frankly it is not clear whether a wider debate is underway, a deeper debate, whether that needs to be reexamined. for the moment though it is clear that the obama administration has had enough of prime minister netanyahu's speaking about iranian nuclear program in a manner which simply does not conform to what u.s. and israeli intelligence agencies know to be the truth. >> shia brittanzi in washington. >>> coming up at 11:30 8:30 pacific. >>> photographs show boris nemtsov, showing two figures on the bridge where the former deputy prime minister was shot. the station identified the people in the video as nemtsov and his companion. a passing snow plow blocks the view of the actual shooting. the radio station the echo of moscow has al

so when benjamin netenyahu says to apac that the israeli, u.s.nship is stronger than ever, he is certainly not talking about the relationship between the two leaders. >> this is what -- what we're seeing right now, is rather unprecedented, there have been crises in the past between the united states and israel, and both countries have weathered past storms. this time it is different. you have a relationship based largely on bipartisanship. and by accepting spoken boehner's invitation without coordinating the invitation with the white house netenyahu is intervening in partisan politics. and that's why you have by my last count over 50 members of congress who have so far indicated they are not going to attend the speech. >> guy, why is this happening? >> well, there are a couple of reasons. first i think netenyahu netenyahu -- sincerely believes president obama is misguided on the iran issue. secondly there are domestic political acquisitions that netenyahu is considering as well. two weeks after the speech netenyahu is going to be facing re-electi

went to apac to reassure them of the president.ok, iran -- getting in bed with iran -- and remember the reason we're doing this. obama has this incredibly dangerous and naive view that iran will be ourx!0k ally against isis. it is like getting in bed with a cobra. i mean iran is the leading sponsor of state terrorism in the world, and they are surrounding the sunni -- our sunni allies are bananas. you know what? it's a complicated matter but they are willing when everyone else is saying as the "wall street journal" pointed out, what they've leaked to their friends, instead of stopping iran we are going to insure they get a nuclear weapon. anything for a deal. >> yeah, you know what was interesting, too, that iread today, that the president is saying that it's actually made israel safer or the dealings with iran has because they've got the iron dome in place. so, basically, what i'm understanding, doug, is are we still going to try to keep them from getting a nuclear weapon or are we going to try to shoot it down when it happens? >>

i bet this one will be backed with more policy and more serious concerns than the one that was at apac today. republicans and democrats alike agree, this is a bad deal we are hurtling toward that is going to lead to a nuclear iran. that's the problem it's not just no for no reason. >> i don't think it's a bad deal you don't even know the deal. >> i got it. we will continue on this. plenty of more as the factor moves along this evening. >>> then watters goes to spring training. >> how is my form looking? >> they're good for being a reporter. >> i think that's an insult. we hope you stay tuned for those reports. well, a mortgage shouldn't be a problem your credit is in pretty good shape. >>pretty good? i know i have a 798 fico score thanks to the tools and help on experian.com. kaboom... well, i just have a few other questions. >>chuck, the only other question you need to ask is, "what else can you do for me?" i'll just take a water... get your credit swagger on. become a member of experian credit tracker and find out your fico score powered by experian. fico scores are used in 90% of cr

speakers to the annual washington convention of apac. last week there was an alarm that the administration might not send anyone at all. aides on both side say there was tension between the u.s. and israel before. the contentious issue is the obama administration's fervent effort to clinch a nuclear deal with iran. israeli officials consider the deal as it's outlined and specifics are presently understood to be an existential threat to israel because it will allow iran to keep its centrifuge uranium enrichment program despite the cheating from the past. >> israel is safer today because of the interim agreement we created. the 20% of enriched uranium has been reduced to zero. we stopped the flu tone -- stopped the blue the plutonium reactor in its tracks. >> reporter: iran may be able to stroll towards and not have to make a break for nuclear capability. martha: tell us about the two big speeches? >> reporter: this moment is fraught with peril as well as opportunity for the israeli leader. now in his second stint as israel's prime ministe

and having that authority but small regime having this over the united states is extraordinary. >> apac should imagine that iran is viewing this with other than surprise a degree of happiness how obama clearly distanced himself from netanyahu and what he has been saying. >> not really. i think the iranians feel so far the united states has been unwilling to take the necessary steps for us to clinch a final deal. iranians shown an enormous flexibility on the last year and a half and the united states has not. even after iran and p 5 plus 1 signed joint action a year ago the united states repeatedly added new companies and new people to the sanctions list saying this is based on the old sanctions regime but this theoretically could go on until they include all iran and all iran companies so americans are violated the agreement and this makes it much more difficult for the iran i ans. >> expressing different view points which is considered quite healthy and beneficial. >> well what is unhealthy is that the united states is being directed by a foreign entity and a racist one at that. netany

later today he will give a speech before the american-israel public affairs committee or apac. there he'll once again warn of a possible nuclear deal with iran. tomorrow he'll speak before congress, and his arrival comes amid increased tension between netanyahu and president obama. part of that is because house speaker john boehner invited netanyahu to speak without first notifying the white house. nbc's tracie potts is live in washington. tracie, what are you hearing from lawmakers now that this day has finally come? >> reporter: we're hearing at least 30 of them plan to boycott that speech here on capitol hill tomorrow enpart because of what boehner did and how he did it. the white house is saying president obama will not meet with netanyahu, not necessarily because of that but because he is facing a very tight re-election back home in just two weeks. in the close proximity of that they don't want it to appear the white house or president are trying to influence or endorse netanyahu in that election. he's coming here at boehner's request, without the white house knowing in ad

global basis, both in terms of text financing and whether that computes to us being able to continue apacereate jobs and whether these top guys raising billion-dollar valuations have the kind of capital that would be more evenly staged across the companies is the kind of tech policy questions we should have been asking in 2000 and we are asking now. >> this is where the income inequality debate starts to matter. if it is concentrated where the wealth is but they can choose not to spend if there's a slight downturn, suddenly, all the rest -- all the rest of america and the world can suffer from the discretionary income of the extraordinarily rich. >> for sure, and particular, they don't get to benefit the way the extraordinarily rich do. it's much more difficult to buy shares in uber, snapchat and everything else. there's that famous number sticker in the valley where they said please, god, just give me one more bubble. this time, i will know what to do. people realize i need to own this stuff even sooner. people have moved right out of the public market and taken away an opportunity for we

financing on a going forward basis, and whether or not that computes to us being able to continue apacereate jobs, and whether or not these top guys raising billion-dollar valuations are soaking up the kind of capital that might be more evenly distributed across earlier stage companies. it's a kind of technology question we should of been asking back in 2000. >> paul, i think this is where the income inequality debate starts to matter. if much of economic activity is concentrated where the wealth is, but those spenders can choose not to spend if there is a slight downturn, suddenly all of the rest of america, and the world, could suffer from that slight pullback in discretionary income of the extort nearly rich. >> for sure -- extraordinarily rich. >> for sure. and they don't benefit like the rich do. it's more difficult to buy shares, you can't even participate in the market and game alongside of the appreciation in these names. there's a famous bumper sticker in the valley, where they said please god, just give me one more bubble, this time i will know what to do. that's what happened

. >> we will have continuous coverage right here in washington as apac continues a very big deal happening in the nation's capitol. >> we talked about the problems it is causing here. they are concerned it will fracture u.s. ties with israel. >> i don't think so. there's not really a long term problem. i think objectively speaking there is clearly a disconnect between the leadership in this country and israel right now. that's really behind why the white house is upset with the invitation. they don't want to influence the process as the election is up coming. as for the long-term prog nose sighs they will be fine after they get rid of the bruised feelings. >>> time for a look at who is talking. wisconsin governor scott walker is surging the presidential polls flip flopping on his immigration views. here's what he said in 2013. >> can you envision a world where with the right penalties and waiting periods and meet the requirements where they could get citizenship? >> sure, yeah. i think it makes sense. >> walker is now changing his immigration stance saying he no longer backs comprehensive

speaker boehner was successful in submitting his and the relationship with apac and wealthy donors who were behind this entire speech who are active in the republican party and oppose the president and democrats and i believe the prime minister was successful in getting re-elected and i'm sure this will play well in israel. as far as how it affects the world in reality, i think it's harmful, because the game is in geneva not in washington or on television and would have been better if he took his concerns directly to the president and the state department behind the scenes and tried to get a better deal. instead, he has driven himself and country further away from the president and our country. and i agree with the 200 israeli generals and security officials who felt this will hurt israel, because it will make israel weaker in the eyes of the united states administration and relationship with the president and embolden iran to be tougher at the bargaining table. so i think the political game was won, but the world game of peace was lost today. i had misgivings at times listening to the

have bargained with americans and american presidents -- a he mentioned it yesterday when he spoke to apac they did it privately with the president. they said things like i know you want to win florida. it is hard for you to win florida if we are against you. this was a really, really, really blatant and bold thing to do. it seems to me like he was under pressure at home, the political pressure at home and instead of bringing it to the well of congress, it ns a high wire act. >> if you talk about the p5 plus one, it is the united states and it is russia and china who are in bed with iran. and if the united states is capitulating, that's three of the nations. then you have germany, france and britain. the reason israel wanted to come to the table at all is iran wants them wiped off the map. they have made no bones about that. they are next door neighbors with a bunch of countries that want to kill them. >> i am not arguing it is right or wrong. i am arguing it was prudent to do that in congress. >> i think he could have waited for two weeks. i think he could have waited until after the elec

john harwood, as we watch this joint session, about something that prime minister netanyahu said to apac yesterday. he said israel has never been a bipartisan issue in this country. that we support israel on both sides. is there a risk that it will now be one? >> i don't think a lasting risk. it is a momentary problem and certainly the two sides are divided on -- the two parties are divided on national security and this is one of those issues in particular that teases out that difference in a way that we're not accustomed to seeing on policy toward israel. but i would expect it to be a rather short-term phenomenon and not something that certainly creates a permanent rupture and not permanent damage. >> would you agree that israeli/u.s. relations are at a low, near a low? >> yes, sure. there's no question about that. and interestingly, you know, we had our nbc/"wall street journal" poll over the weekend and we asked about this. you saw extremely strong support for israel among older americans as you move younger and younger, each generation in succession, from 65 plus down to 50 plus and

and the key thing for me was actually yesterday at apac he laid out carefully several examples of instances where the united states wanted israel not to do something, but israel did it and israel was right. he is setting the groundwork for a desperate military strike if necessary against iran's nukes. and meanwhile, obama is so desperate so desperate for this deal for his legacy, that he is willing to give israel up. let's face it if israel disappeared from the face of the earth tomorrow obama would not shed a tear. >> it's phenomenal that bb did this in the midst of a political campaign, but felt such a need before this ever would come to fruition. do you think this alters this deal? in other words, do enough people wake up and say no, do not make a deal with the iranians, no they cannot be trusted? they're anti-american, they're anti-semitic, they're radical islamist, they believe in this caliphate and that giving them this bomb will result in the potential of a modern day holocaust, will this be stopped? we have 100 million people go back to the last century you look at communism stalin

president won't address apac this year. less senior members will attend.ditionally, it's the vice president who presides over joint joint sessions. joe biden will be conspicuously absent. kimberly halkett, washington. >> hamas says egypt is setting a dangerous precedent after a cairo court declared it a terrorist organization. the decision provoking an angry response from palestinians and gaza. it's the first time an arab court has condemned the armed group. hamas denies egyptian allegations. it supports fighters in north sinai who have been attacking the security forces. more from gaza. >> the past leadership is no doubt very angry to declare the group a terrorist organization but people across the gaza strip are telling us they are afraid of what might happen next. here here is what they told us. >> since sisi became president, the situation in gaza has only gotten worse. he has tightened the siege so much we can't even move. i am worried he will carry out military attacks against us here. the courts are very complicating things for us here in gaza. we h

i think that's what he's going to say in his speech to apac, the pro-israel lobby on monday at their big conference. i think he'll try to mend fences a bit and say he understands that israel needs to be a bipartisan issue and always has been and always should be. >> we'll be watching. elise labott our global affairs correspondent, thank you very much for the insight. no doubt you've been up for many hours on that plane, that long trip over here to washington. thank you, elise, very much. >>> to russia now, vladimir putin's critic boris nemtsov was supposed to lead a rally protesting russia's involvement in ukraine and he was murdered less than 48 hours ago and today's rally in many ways turned into as you see, a huge tribute to him. tens of thousands of demonstrators marching throughout moscow and left leaving flowers at the shooting scene and his assassination taking place yards away from the kremlin. putin vowing to punish whoever is responsible for the murder and russian police looking for a male suspect with short hair wearing blue jeans and a brown sweater. and the shooter likel

today netenyahu offered a curtain-raiser of sorts before apac. >> the purpose of my address to congressomorrow is to speak up about a potential deal with iran that could threaten the survival of israel. iran envelops the entire world with its tentacles of terror. this is what iran is doing now without nuclear weapons. imagine what it would do with nuclear weapons. and this same iran vows to annihilate israel. we must not let that happen. >> reporter: and john no small irony, secretary of state john kerry, where is he? he is in geneva talking to the iranian foreign minister sitting down for three days of crucial talks. he gave a veiled warning today, he warned benjamin netenyahu not to talk about some of the details about what is being negotiated between the united states and iran. meanwhile, president obama as i mentioned did give an interview, and begging the israelis to please try to give the talks a chance at working. >> prime minister netenyahu is sincere about his concerns. and given iran's rhetoric given the extraordinarily disruptive and dangerous activities of this regime in the

what's particularly interesting, it's a very powerful democrat, bob menendez said earlier this week, to apac had their conference here in washington he would not be afraid to stand up to the president and push through that legislation getting an up or down vote. in the last 24 hours he's said he does not support fast tracking his own bill something the senate majority leader is now trying to do to force through this legislation. menendez who says he wants to stand up to the president says he's worried if you fast track that bill before kerry's finished the negotiations it will blow up any deal at all and leave the u.s. in a worse position. even a democrat like now worries this is becoming more and more partisan. >> henry at the white house, thank you very much. >>> the fight against isis and the president'three-year time line line. jennifer, what's going on? >> well, neil. surprisingly frank remarks on the hill today ash carter said he thought it was a mistake for the white house to put a three-year deadline on the authorization to use military force to fight isis. the legislation was based

president won't address apac this year, less senior members will attend and traditionally, the vice president presides over special jointly sessions on capitol hill, but on tuesday, joe biden will be con conspicuously absent. al jazeera washington. >> iran's influence in yemen appears to be growing. for the first time in years a plane from from iran to sanna now controlled by houthi rebels. they captured sanna in september and forced the government out. they will now fly 14 flights a week. some politicians fear the flights could transport iranian weapons and fighters into yemen. we are joined live frow from aden in the south of yemen. how significant is this aviation deal signed between the houthi's and iran, what does it actually mean? >> it means a lot for the houthis and it is a matter of shock for people here in the south, particularly president hadi and his entourage. just a couple of days ago the leader of the houthis described the relationship between yemen and saudi arabia as historic. he said saudi arabia is sewing troubles in yemen and our countries. he did not mention iran by the n

. >> in a few minutes he'll be speaking before 14,000 delegates to the annual apac conference, the pro zeal advocacy group here and is will tell what he is expected to say to the u.s. congress. vice president joe biden as well as administration officials will not be attending that. at the same time, netanyahu has been telling israeli reporters on the way here that he is not against any deal with iran, only against a bad deal, specifically the israelis are opposed to any indication of and continuation of uranium enrichment, and want details of supervision of any agreement, the extents of agreement, the length of the agreement and, of course, the how the allies will respond in case iran breaks the agreement. secretary of state john kerry earlier said that he was concerned that netanyahu might be disclosing some details of the actual terms of the negotiations now underway in his speech before the congress on tuesday, and that would endanger the progress of the negotiations. of course, netanyahu's speech here is not just to an audience of americans. it's an audience of israelis, a huge aud

he could have said the same thing at apac yesterday, which he largely did. in 2011 when he appeared before congress he used footage from that event in his 2013 campaign spots. we know exactly what he's doing. and that's one of the reasons that speaker boehner invited him. so it was great political theater, very compelling political theater, but it was just that political theater. >> all right. congressman john yarmuth, thank you so much. now another democrat one who chose to keep his seat to benjamin netanyahu's speech in congress today. representative brad sherman helped escort the israeli leader today. congressman, thanks for joining us. did netanyahu tell you something you didn't already know or hadn't heard before? >> well i'd been working on these issues since 1997. i've chaired the nonproliferation subcommittee and so i don't think he should have tailored the speech to me personally. every speech includes an awful lot of stuff that members of the audience already know and then you build from that. look at any state of the union address, and you'll see
