asia, yes. >> rose: now is your long-term dream that somehow latin america can, like china and asia, have the same kind of economic growth that has been experienced there, so much so that the president of the united states says we're going to pivot from the middle east towards asia? >> latin america, for example, these countries, colombia, i will give you, has a rate of growth in the last three years average almost 5%. >> rose: 6 or 7. >> mexico also chili is the best performer of all. peru is doing extremely well, 6, 7%. so we are getting into a high growth level, these four countries. brazil is doing quite well even though in the last year it's come down. and latin america has a young population. many, many people are going out of poverty. there are potential consumers. and so i think the potential for latin america is enormous. asia, you are seeing that in many countries they're sort of reaching a platteau. >> rose: platteauing. >> so we hope that the future will give us the opportunity of going even at a faster rate. >> rose: you have said you think the 21st century belongs to south ameri

this is got a funny as a dam because for years we were told that the technology coming in from asia to america had backdoor technology that allowed spying to occur what we're saying is that all the spying was done by the u.s. with a server right there in china. yeah absolutely that way it was until these are revelations came out i don't know the status of their systems today but yeah that was the case as in many cases the the hacking and surveillance has been is coming from the us towards china and other countries as opposed to the other way around which is mostly covered in the media so again this would be anti-competitive because they've got us tech companies spying on asian tech companies and i'm thinking about the spat between samsung and apple over patents and other intellectual property so here you have proof that american companies are gays and corporate espionage on asian counterparts and also dan i would imagine that the next time america accuses china of currency manipulation that's not going to go over well either at this point down . no unfortunately we've in the us we've lost the

and so i think the potential for latin america is enormous. asia, you are seeing that in many countries they're sort of reaching a platteau. >> rose: platteauing. >> so we hope that the future will give us the opportunity of going even at a faster rate. >> rose: you have said you think the 21st century belongs to south america. >> absolutely. i think-- i said that this is the next decade and this decade belongs to latin america and i think we are seeing that in many ways it is. >> rose: there is also been this, that has developed over the last year because of edward snowden, some reports that the nsa was spying on brazil, for example. the president of brazil cancelled a trip to washington. what do you make of this? >> well, i imagine that she did not get the necessary explanations. and she cancelled. it's unfortunate. >> rose: do you think there is spy on colombia? >> the situation with colombia is different because we work together, intelligence. >> stephen: . >> rose: you share intelligence with america. >> very much. and to the benefit of both c

things happened faster in europe and asia than north america. we got the last of the new devices and features. this was fine. all of a sudden when apple came in with the iphone and google and andried the us was the -- android, the us was the hub. and nokia was building candy bar phones, things that that market was accustomed to. nokia was slow to recognise how quickly the iphone changed the battal. >> profit potential in china, 745 million users, is it about, for apple, trying to come up with a product chief enough to compete. >> there's a couple of issues. are the biggest carriers in china going to carry it. if it doesn't work on a network it will not reach that network's customers. the other is price. the real question is how low is apple willing to go. there is a market in china for the highest end iphone and android, and apple can do well in that. the bigger opportunity is in the middle range and low end of the smart known market. it remains to be seen whether apple covets that market enough to have a low-end phone. >> us consumers - we have

. >> in demand all over the world, in europe, the americas, asia. few global cars can have the reach of suv's. >> kia once a share of that market. it's concept wowed the crowds in frankfurt. developed at the design center in germany. when it goes into production it is likely to be manufactured in asia for the global market. bmw's luxury suv is now in its third generation. b&w has profited handsomely from the model, selling 1.3 million units since 1999. that is an impressive performance for a car that few people really need. >> we turn our attention to business news. check in on the markets now. conrad sent us this summary of the day's trading in frankfurt. >> the international auto fair in frankfurt started with very strong increases of the stock prices of the carmakers here at the frankfurt stock exchange. many carmakers came out with lots of positive news. bmw and audi reported strong sales during the month of august. the boss of peugeot promised better sales for 2014. he said he can imagine more cost cuts at the french carmaker. the main reason f

doesn't do anything the, how much will it tharpl america's credibility in asia? >> reporter: well, some would say that it wouldn't harm america's credibility yet. china wants a political solution swards the foreign minister walked out of the u.s. security council last week saying that a political solution was the only way forward and that in fact an attack would conflict with the kphart ter and that can be the problem that we're seeing in the middle east at this point in time. china certainly wants to see the u.n. weapons inspector report come out and results from that report show whether or not syria, the regime was responsibility. so, i think that it would have support from countries like china or certainly russia if it does not go ahead with an attack. >>> thank you so much craig, live from hong kong. >> . >>> reactions of the president's announcement was sweupt here in the u.s. in fact, anti-war protestors were marching outside the white house at the exact moment the president was speaking in the rose garden. the spread of the attack brought protestors out fro

people put jewelry on these things in the most rapidly growing market in northeast asia, south asia, north america. everyone has their way to personalize it. the truth is, can apple still sell the old, outdated technology at a high price, 4s, increasingly the 5, and have a cheaper version of the new one, the 5c. that's the $64,000 question. does the new software actually work with the hardware better? does it do more things-o or just look different because it's flat design? i think that's the story. >> just wonder if the story is going to be a similar one to what it's been in the past from a stock standpoint and that's a sell on the news event. you know, the stocks come up. maybe people sell it. the rel real tell we won't get until the first or second week of october when apple comes out with earnings numbers and we find out how many of these new devices they've sold. >> that's right. i think that you have seen a 20% plus move in the stock coming into this, which is on par with some of the best moves it's seen in the past. in those instances, yes, apple did not trade up. it was a sell on the news

a long range historical process, which was experienced before by different peoples in europe, america, asia and africa, and meeting demands of the people in all states of the world was never an easy task. it was always a path of sacrifices. it was not easy to go through it without patience and determination. rarely have there been revolutions that were not followed by desperate attempts to aboard them. that is why wise people prefer all the time that regime change should take place through gradual reform, but we also know very well certain cases in our region and other regions in the world where there was no way for change or reform. at any rate we should not jump to hasty conclusions about the future of the arab revolutions. this is historical necessity and long term one. it is clear things in the arab world will not revert back to the way they were before, and the arab peoples have become more aware of their rights, and more involved in the public domain. always opting to be an active party taking an. constructive role through its balanced economic negotiations. we'll continue fostering t

and also to the rise of the fast-growing economies in africa , asia, and south america. the benefits of globalization in eurasian can best be realized if we work together to transmit the extraordinary potentials and strengths of our populations, resources, and markets. in order to achieve our aspirations for eurasia as a driver of global economic growth in the 21st century, there is need for principled and cohesive strategies for multi-lashing -- multinational trade and connectivity. in line with the theme of the forum, from concrete collaborations to mutual boomin g, i would like to share with you the -- afghanistan is intruding to the modern-day silk road. [indiscernible] by virtue of its location on the crossroads of eurasia, afghanistan is a natural land bridge for transit and commerce between east and west. the rich markets of central and south asia. afghanistan is well-positioned to contribute to promoting trade and transport things between european and asian economic centers. as you all know, for the past decades, external interference, conflict, and terrorism des

there has been some success in parts of asia, north africa, and latin america. one point 2 billion people still live in extreme poverty. over 100 million children are undernourished and underweight. reducing child mortality is another key goal but the proportion of newborns dying is actually rising although there has been a significant reduction in the number of deaths among under five-year-old. they are likely to fall short of the goal to cut the mortality rate by two thirds. despite some success, hopes are dwindling that all of the millennium development goals will be achieved in full. >> one of the places where the u.n. millennium project was first put into action was in western kenya. >> the 11th villages that comprise the cluster are home aa was once considered a hotspot or hunger lack of clean drinking water were rampant. slew of international organizations, many of the villagers have been able to successfully pull themselves out of poverty. >> it will be a good banana harvest this season. bananas and soybeans are new additions to sugarcane and mays crops

narrator: at 17 forest-dics plots throughout latin america africa, and asia davies' project, in collaboration with the arnold arboretum of harvard university, maintains an active database of more than 3 million trees of 6,000 species. dr. davies: this is a huge data set, which no one else in the world is doing this kind of research. and the idea of doing it right across the whole world is that then we'll be able to come to some generalizations about what's happening to tropical rainforests. narrator: by statistical analysis of a large number of individuals over long period of time the team can determine the dynamics of forest growth. dr. davies: what we do is we monitor them every five years. we go and remeasure all the trees. the idea is to try to work out for hundreds and hundreds of species, their population biology -- that is, the rates with which they grow the ratethey die at -- to try to understand the whole biology of the species. narrator: stephen hubbell of the unirsity of grgia and the smithsonian tropical research institute is one of the pioneers of this study, which began on barro

southeast asia and latin america are their usual selves with brazil slow. the u.s.the bright spot. i would say most of this year the u.s. has been better than what we had planned for and it shows in our results and our equity price. of course, i'm very concerned with what's going on in washington. because we could proceed verbally shoot ourselves in the foot again. >> i want to get back to the debt ceiling. you mentioned japan. you have shinzo abe, the prime minister here at the new york stock exchange today. you know, that market has, of course, been on fire. a lot of money moving into japan. do you think the economic policies will work? do you think that's sustainable? >> i think abenomics, version 2.0, will work. wooif been big in japan. it's been an extraordinary summer. i was over there in april. business confidence is up. it doesn't take much. when you finally get confidence, and that's been 15 years of gloom, i really do believe their export engine is reawakening. they've always had great companies. they're starting to dot tough stuff. this merger that was an

away from the middle east at various points in time during his presidency to places like asia and latin america. and what happened prior to his speech today was the brazil president was denouncing the american government for spying on it, revelations by edward snowden and such. so i think there's a lot of stuff going on thee at rickally around the middle east speech that are very important but getting lost. >> i would just add i think long term there may be diplomatic ripples and benefits from what's happening in the u.n., but in any reasonable near term scenario, i think the effect of a handshake between obama and the leader of iran on the u.s. public opinion will be infinitesimally small. >> there are a couple of things we have to discuss here, but we should not forget to mention and discuss the fact that the president planted his flag in the notion of american exceptionalism which to me is really interesting. it is both sort of a hat tip to, i think, the john mccains of the world and it is also a repudiation of vladimir putin, who of course wrote an op-ed in "the new york times" and i think
