now, as david indicated, this is a hard work.n i came into office, there was drift in the afghan strategy in part because we had spent a lot of time focussing on iraq instead. over the last three years we have refocused attention on getting afghanistan right. would my preference have been that we started some of that earlier? absolutely. that is not the cards that we are dealt. we are now in a position where given our starting point, we are making progress, and i believe that we will be able to make our -- achieve our objectives in 2014. al? >> thank you, mr. president and mr. prime minister. switching to iran -- >> i can point out that somehow alister gets to ask a question on behalf of the u.s. press corp, but he sounds like -- >> it's the special relationship. >> were you upset about that chuck? >> yeah, what is going on with that jay, come on man. it's a special relationship. >> so, on iran, do you believe that the talks represent a last chance for the country to difusi concerns over military action and prime minister, on syr

david.e. thank you. >> well, thank you very much for that, barack. thank you for last month's sporting event. i thought there was a link between that and table tennis. i remember it well. i know america does not like being on the losing side so i'm trying to make up to you with a gift of a table tennis table. >> which like to play this afternoon? >> i certainly need practice. one day i'll get back at you with a cricket match and i will explain the terminology. it was great our teams joined those talks as well. barack, thank you. there are some countries whose allies are a matter of convenience. ours is a matter of conviction. we're united for freedom and enterprise, working together day in and day out to defend those values and devote our shared interests. that has been the fundamental purpose of this visit. we have made progress on efforts in four vital areas -- afghanistan, economic growth -- first, afghanistan. recent days reminded us just how difficult our mission is and how high the cos

we're going to try to jump to david and david's book, which i talked about also deals with the treatment of evil but i think largely from a different category of perpetrators. the statesmen and their followers who perpetrated mass murder and genocide in places like rwanda in the former yugoslavia, sierra leone, in cambodia. so you really served at the center of this when you were in the clinton administration and, you know, lived through these terrible episodes, the rwanda genocide and in the balkans. we should not lay blame for these events or responsibility i should say on the united states alone. this is a collective responsibility that was -- that was dropped by the international community during that time. but i think you write very openly and honestly in your book about the failures to stop the tragedies and so before we talk about trying them i would just like you to say a little bit about what you say in your book about your reflections about what you learned from how we can stop those kinds of tragedies? what were the failures that happened that you saw firsthand? >> well, i wou

>> the latest poll, and we tried to ask, david, santorum this question. latest poll, 20 points down from mitt romney. it's very clear romney does not have the passion of a lot of these republican voters. we saw it in talking to the people there who showed up at the jelly belly factory. we've seen it for months now. more and more romney has been defined and defined himself as a wealthy candidate. this week it came out that the plan for the expansion of his $10 million la jolla beachfront house including elevators for the cars. this is the kind of thing that a republican candidate has to worry about. >> and the whole etch-a-sketch. >> do you they is -- 99% don't have that. >> and michelle -- >> an etch-a-sketch issue for mitt romney, which is a nightmare. it was the nightmare branding of this candidate. santorum this week held up the etch-a-sketch to great applause at his rally. >> the people who don't know, one of his, romney the aides that at the end of the primaries, you shake the campaign and then you start anew. making people think that, oh, he's not a

david? >> yeah. a huge setback. martha, you reported extensively on the american soldier who opened fire in that village. tonight, reports about his repeated deployments and whether or not he wanted to go back? >> reporter: exactly. the soldier has hired a civilian lawyer in seattle, who today said the soldier was twice injured in iraq. we reported that he had a traumatic brain injury before. the lawyer also said he had a leg injury and did not want to deploy to afghanistan. we still don't know his identity. but he should be charged soon. and then, we will. >> all right. martha raddatz on the story again tonight. martha, thank you. >>> and now, tonight, "world news" getting answers. as you know for the last week here, diane and the team reporting on that pink slime in ground beef, that filler used to pump up the meat. tonight, here, the big change on school lunches. the usda telling schools this fall they can choose ground beef without it. tonight, abc's david kerley on what this means, as we ask, is your supermarke

goliath, so david is the metaphor for the miraculous victory of right over might.o it's no surprise to us that florence should throughout its history have seen itself as a david among the city-states, maintained against its powerful enemies because of its righteousness. in 1873, the florentine city fathers decided to bring michelangelo's david indoors from the piazza della signoria here to this museum, the accademia. later a copy was put up on the site, but michelangelo's sculpture itself here was deprived of its original role as a civic guardian and was redefined more narrowly, more exclusively as a work of art. other sculptures by michelangelo were also gathered here as if to bring together a sort of secular shrine to the great florentine, but this historical happenstance gives us the opportunity to look at michelangelo from a different perspective, to look at his unfinished works, sculptures that he was forced to abandon for a variety of reasons entirely beyond his control. michelangelo had a very unusual way of approaching the block of marble when it came from

i mean, david's example is pretty good. if you like -- most countries say like 95% of the treaty they ratify it and don't worry about the other 5%. the united states as a very legally conscious society has a pattern of compliance before ratification. so there are very few provisions of the conventions of the rights of the child or the women's rights convention that we don't actually comply with as a matter of practice but getting the 67 votes to get them ratified is another story. so what is the bad exceptionalism is the staying out part. but let's face it, some the united states is an exceptional nation. its capacity to change events for the good -- that's how i happen to live in this country. it's because of the power of american goodness. if we always say america is a problem, america is the problem, we forget the times when america is the solution and if america is not the solution there will be no solution. and the real question i think is how to prevent a tendency toward bad exceptionalism from weakening our legitimac

david? >> just what they needed. ginger, thanks to you and your reporting all weekend long, and three hours away from ginger there in west liberty, kentucky, an extraordinary portrait emerging, the police station, the fire station gone, and that image of that woman who prayed as that twister approached. matt gutman found her today. he's in kentucky again for us tonight. matt? >> reporter: good evening, david. they're beginning to lift martial law here, and i'm going to show you 180 degrees of destruction. this path of devastation is 24 miles long. that tornado so powerful, it lifted up and flung that school bus leaving people nothing to do but pray. >> take it, lord. take it, lord. >> reporter: with prayer as fervent as the tornado was ferocious, we heard the woman in this video trying to pray it away. >> father god, our power is in your son's name. take this up away from our home. >> reporter: it decimated block after block. today we set out to track her down, but with no phones and no elec

david? >> david kerley in washington tonight. david, thank you. george dives into this math and the south, can the next states up reshape the republican race? or are we in a slow-motion fight for the nomination that's set? george, and the powerhouse political team first thing in the morning on "this week." >>> of course, issue number one, on the campaign trail, jobs and unemployment in this country. tonight, we dig deeper behind the number we reported last night on "world news." 227,000 new jobs in the month of february, that beats economists' expectations, we've asked abc's bianna golodryga to join us here on the desk here in new york tonight. bianna, this president wants to keep his job. the republicans want to take it away. so key, the unemployment rate? that remains unchanged at 8.3%? >> at 8.3%. you can imagine getting it below 8%. we did the math. here's what we came up with. you can see 165,000 jobs added each month from now until november to get that number to 7.9%. right now, as you can see, the past three months, we've actually gone over

>> the problem for david cameron is he doesn't have a relationship.this trip, he is consciously snubbed the republicans, particularly mitt romney who will certainly be the republican nominee and quite applauseably could be the next president. it's very short term of cameron's strategy of exploiting his relationship with president obama because if mitt romney wins, it's going -- he's going to have to do some fancy footwork, cameron is, to sort of get back on side with someone ideologically you would assume would be in concert with and his party and the republican party in the states has very long historical sides. >> from a p.r. perspective, it's been an incredible, really good visit. >> big success. i think politically for cameron, short-term gain. in terms of diplomacy with america, whether there will be medium to long-term pain. >> very good to talk to you to share those thoughts with you on what has been a successful visit so far. thank you very much. now campaigners around the world will on thursday mark one year of violence in syria by calling on

. >> david kerley tonight. thanks. i want to bring in our political analyst matt dowd for the big picture, looking beyond washington. you say three things to watch for. super tuesday, 437 delegates at stake. ten states but looking at one in particular. >> go back to the midwest. david. first thing to watch is ohio. it's the place, not michigan, in the midwest. a key battleground for the election. if rick santorum can win that, he's got life back in his candidacy, if mitt romney wins, it begins the process. >> the real hunt for the republicans. let's go to the delegate count. mitt ronlny, as we all know, ahead of the delegate count. you say if he picks up just one southern state that helps seal the deal. >> that's the interesting thing. he has not been able to win until he has strength where a lot of republicans are. take a look at the map. place i would look for that night. tuesday night is tennessee. that's the place mitt romney has a chance to win. >> he apparently agrees. he's going to tennessee as well as g

now david. >> david, thank you very much. david ferreiro has done an extraordinary job as archivist of the united states and i want to thank him on behalf of all of our citizens for the job you're doing to help preserve the important documents of our country. when i first heard of the magna carta being for sale, i was surprised that it was for sale and i was surprised that the only copy in private hands, i was afraid it would probably leave the country, and although it wasn't drafted in this country or written here or an important document for hundreds of years because it was really drafted before our country came into existence, i thought it was important that it be kept in the united states because it was as david said the inspiration for the declaration of the independence, the bill of rights and the constitution and so many other principles that our country's founded on. so, i was fortunate to be able to get it and put it on permanent loan here, and i am very pleased that people from all over the world now have a chance t

. >> the final question to david. your book makes a powerful case for history in context of an understanding where we are today and this wonderful phrase, temporal narcissist. this idea that what we are going through now is more important than anything else. my question in the context of your previous answer about europe and driving out the merely important headlines every day which is whether a well calibrated and supreme irrelevant book like yours, how it can get through and even with temporary success, easily summarized your book in 40 words. how are you going to get people to focus on a much bigger conversation with what we're having here in america? >> very thoughtful and relevant, timely book at the financial times. >> you are following -- [laughter] >> the other thing david hasn't announced his he will be issue of book called the 1%. [laughter] but before we open to questions. the we talk about corporations. there's the question about corporations that go all the way back in sweden but what is a corporation tod

david lee miller has details on all of this. david? >> reporter: jenna we're getting a better idea what actually happened aboard the flight from dallas-ft. worth to chicago when the flight attendant apparently snapped and suffered a mental breakdown. in addition to 911 calls, there is new video, a passenger on a first class recordinged dint on his cell phone as crewmembers tried to restrain the 43-year-old flight attendant as these she made threats to those on board. >> get out of my way!. >> guys? >> somebody call 911 security system. i have to kill passengers before we take off. >> reporter: passenger recorded that video put down the cell phone to help crewmembers to restrain the flight attendant but the audio was still recording. listen. >> with navy seals? you seal team six? back off. >> haven't been to church in 10 years. i'm going to hell. >> why would you be going to hell, ma'am. >> i didn't pray before i shut the doors. >> reporter: they have an emergency dispatcher trying to calm the passenger fierce. >> airport 911. what is y

security correspondent david martin is with us in the studio. david, can you add anything? >> as she said, the soldier is in custody so sooner or later presumably they will find out his motive. but the motive seems almost beside the point. the number one mission for u.s. troops in afghanistan is to protect afghan civilians. for an american soldier just to open fire on afghan civilians just undercuts the mission of the u.s. troops in afghanistan. >> schieffer: david, thank you. you'll be back later and we'll be joined by our white house correspondent norah o'donnell who will have more on all this. let's turn now to the campaign annuity gingrich who is with us this morning in birmingham. mr. speaker, good morning. what would you do this morning.... >> good morning. >> schieffer:... if you were president? >> i think you have to reassure the afghan people that there will be transparency, that justice will be done. we're the opposite from al qaeda and the taliban. they kill civilians deliberately. we protect civilians when a tragedy like this occurs we have an absolute obligatio

joining me now, david kelly. and david gardener, cofounder of the motley fool. gentleman, it's good to see you. thanks so much for joining us. >> we saw major market zones this week. the s&p 500 as 1400. and the feds slightly upgrading its view of the economy. do you think we continue to climb here? what is the significance of those round numbers, if you will. >> well, i think the significance of them is the impact they have on comforts. that's really what's driving a lot of what's going on in the economy and markets in the last few months. people are finally shaking off the blues they've had in this so called recovery to this point. most confidence measures are moving up. >> david gardener, we also saw another big story this week. and that was the former goldman sachs employee, greg smith. he blasted goldman in a new york times ad saying that the campanili was more interested in making money for itself than for clients and clients were called muppets. what's your take? >> well, first of all, that's one man's view. so i can't really speak to it other than my own

paula broadwell, and vernon loeb and their book the education of general david petraeus. petraeus, of course, has become the most prominent general since world war ii and while he's already been subject of several books, paula was given unusual access to him and had brought his story up-to-date. as paula writes early in the book, one of petraeus' most important mentors general jack galvin once talked to petraeus about the concept of what galvin called the big m which stood for individual mystique or mythology. the idea as galvin explained the troops need to be able to make their commanders bigger than they are. petraeus has stood out as the she takes readers into briefing rooms and command posts onto training sites and battlefields. and she was granted a number of opportunities to travel with petraeus and even to jog with him which anyone who has tried that knows that probably deserves new normal. paula was helped in the writing of her book by a very talented former colleague of mine at the "washington post" vernon loeb. vernon who has lots of experience himself covering

david david, welcome and thank you. >> thank you very much for that, barack, and thank you for last night'sow america doesn't like to be on the losing side, i'm trying to make it up with a gift of a table tennis table. >> we can can practice this afternoon. >> i said i need to practice. i will get you back by getting to you a cricket match and explaining the terminology you'll try to get straight as i tried last night. but thank you. we had excellent discussions today and it was great that our teams had time to join those talks as well. and, barack, thank you, because it's some countries where an alliance is a matter of convenience but ours is a matter of conviction. working together day in and day out to defend those values and advance our shared interests. we've just made important progress on four vital areas. afghanistan, syria, iran, and economic growth. and i want to take each in turn. first, afghanistan. recent days have reminded us how high this mission it and what the cost has been for britain, america, and for afghans themselves. britain has fought alongside america ever since the

talking about david, david miscavige. >> yes. >> reporter: for four years, cook remained silent.ago, when she september out this e-mail to large group of fellow scientologi scientologists, complaining among other things about her belief that david miscavige had assumed too much power, the church sued her for breach of contract. lawyers informed her the contract was unenforceable, because despite what cook says on this videotape -- >> and you're doing this voluntarily? >> i am. >> no one has made any threats or forced you to do anything? >> not at all, whatsoever. >> reporter: she now argues she only signed under duress, something the church denies. >> you know, i would have signed, you know, that i stabbed babies over and over again and loved it. i would have done anything, basically, at that point. >> reporter: in a flurry of statements to abc news, the church describes cook's allegations using words like false, salacious, defamatory, fiction, untrue and distasteful, sensationalistic and revisionist. essentially they're saying that you and your husband are bitter, defrocked ais

i'm david eades. also coming up in the program -- the british finance minister, george osborne, is expected to offer tax cuts for millions in his budget as he tries to boost the economy. and just keep taking the tablets as long as it's aspirin, new evidence that a daily dose cuts cancer death. >> hello. thanks for being with us. police in the southern french city of toulouse are trying to negotiate with a 24-year-old man wanted in connection with a spate of shootings which have left seven people dead. two officers were themselves shot and wounded as they launched a raid on the house he's staying in. the frenchman of algerian origin has reportedly admitted killing three children and a rabbi outside a jewish school in the city, and the previous killings of three soldiers. he was previously known to the police and was under surveillance for links to islamic extremists. this is the scene for you now live just a few hundred meters from the house itself. the man's brother has also been arrested. france's en

david: william boone.o has a long rap sheet on this guy; he's got short cons, fraud, scams, been in and out of jail. he drops off the radar in 2005. oh. colby: william boone and craig set up shop at the church as father and son, joseph and craig ezra, working a long con. life con. you don't get into the tax-exempt business looking for a quick buck. boone had a retirement plan. okay. david: craig kills reverend doran while ezra-slash-boone is away. and boone poisons the coffee while craig's away. this way, they both alibi out for the other murder. and i think church poisoning was meant to be minimal. you know, just enough to sicken people and give patmos the option of accepting medical treatment. david: they drop controversial beliefs, including the mandatory faith-based healing. they fall off the cult list, get recognized as a real church, get the tax-exempt status. so what are you thinking? boone gets greedy and uses more poison than planned? colby: yeah, craig drinks it 'cause he thinks it's going to be

please help me welcome david. [applause] >> wow. what a surprise. i could not be happier this evening that he shared the stage with jan. we came into this market years ago at a time when there were no asian-pacific americans on television. we are celebrating something very special this evening and this month. yes, we are celebrating our history and rich culture, our culinary and fine arts, but as you look around this theater, you realize there are so many other examples of the ascendancy of ascendancyapa -- ascendancy of the apa community. there are so many issues and so many positive stories to report, and i feel so fortunate through the years to have had the opportunity to cover these stories that serve the needs of the community at large as well as our own apa community. the community should be proud and acknowledged for its role in paving the way for jan and for me and hundreds of others to be working in newsrooms across the city. it took activism by chinese for affirmative action and other organizations in the early 1970's to get apa's hired in

david? >> david kerley in washington tonight. david, thank you. george dives into this math and the south, can the next states up reshape the republican race. george, and the powerhouse political team first thing in the morning on "this week." >>> of course, issue number one, jobs in the country. 227,000 new jobs in the month of february, that beats economists' expectations, we've asked abc's bianna golodryga to join us here tonight. this president wants to keep his job. the republicans want to take it away. so key, the unemployment rate? >> at 8.3%. we did the math. here's what we came up with. you can see 165,000 jobs added each month from now until november to get that number to 7.9%. right now, in the past three months, we've actually gone over that, 200,000 more jobs added. >> it doesn't guarantee the president keeps his job but it is psychologically important to get it below 8%. we've heard from so many viewers on "world news." kimberly andrews wrote me, my son went through a two-year course. a dream job. and cari, my husband plied for a mec

>> i think david plouffe's answers were rational.ouldn't decide what we're going to do until we know what happened. this needs to be fully investigated. this is a terrible thing. no matter what happened, whether there was race involved, when a teenage kid gets killed it's a terrible thing, even if the person that killed him didn't do anything evil or didn't do anything wrong. let's find out what happened first. that's what -- if you're the governor or the president, your job is to make sure the laws are executed the right way, get to the bottom of this. if there needs to be a prosecution, have a vigorous prosecution. let's don't jump to the conclusion that we don't know. >> newt gingrich spoke out powerfully about this in the political realm. this is how he reacted in part to president obama's comments. >> what the president said in a sense is disgraceful. it's not a question of who that young man looked like. any young american of any ethnic background should be safe, period. trying to turn it into a racial issue is fundamentally wr

david? >> all right. david kerley in washington, thank you. >>> also out of d.c. tonight, a headline that caught our eye, with so many passengers tired of being told they have to turn off their ipads, their kindles before the plane will take off, federal authorities say they will take a new look at whether those gadgets do interfere with the cockpit and whether passengers should be allowed to use them during takeoff and landing. the faa says it will now take a "fresh look" at the use of personal devices other than cell phones on the aircraft, in essence, everything but the cell phone. >>> overseas tonight in the uk, they have all been watching her, but have yet to really hear from her. princess kate. tomorrow she delivers her first big speech bringing back memories of the first time we heard from another princess. abc's lama hasan is in london tonight. >> reporter: it's been an eventful weekend for the duchess passing out shamrocks to the irish guards on st. patrick's day. one guard literally passed out. but tomorrow, the nerves will be even greater. we will get t

here they are, kind of a best man vibe to these things. >> now i'm so grateful for all the time david i have had together. ♪ thank you for being a friend >> when we met two years ago we exchanged beers from our home towns. one news story said, david cameron and barack obama cemented their special relationship by hitting the bottles. when we had a barbecue at downing street for some of our service members david and i rolled up our sleeves, threw away the aprons, decided to flip the burgers ourselves. and finally when david and i got beat pretty badly in table tennis by some local london kids, one newspaper asked the head coach of the british olympic women's team to critique our performance. obama, the coach said, talked a lot. both of them, i'm quoting here, looked a little confused. >> you have to have a guy's night out because so often we find we are completely over shadowed by our beautiful wives. barack, it is an honor to call you an ally, a partner, and a friend. ♪ thank you for being a friend >>> wow. like the beginning of a sitcom. okay. let's toast. does it get more awkward tha

you heard david plouffe this morning.e president seems cautious or uncomfortable with leading this next discussion. about racial attitude, about what we have unearthed here. what we need to be focused on. why do you think? >> i think as he has said, he knows he has to be responsible for the country as a whole. for northerners, southerners, blacks and whites. and wants to make sure he's not looking out after a special interest, even though it is him. by speaking as emotionally as he did, he gave a humanity to tray that is what we need to go over the bridge of seeing him simply as a black kid, to see him as somebody we might know. my own hope is that somehow this event is going to be one of those events in history that really, like selma marchers were, as lbj said, moves the secret heart of americans, makes us look at the situation, look at those laws, look at racial profiling. i hope it's not one of those events that once justice is done there, which it might be, the energy dissipates and we go on to something else because

the big m was the big one and david petraeus was a little one. these letters they exchanged a very candid i did trace the development of his thinking of the organization and grants of strategy and u.s. foreign policy pro lot of that ends up on the cutting room floor but maybe with my dissertation. but you could see a various clients what he was thinking then flash forward to of guinness and and how that played out. in the summer of june 2010 when general mcchrystal and the "rolling stone" article rule about i remember watching television and the the faces flash across who could potentially replace sam? friends from send, said do you think he will go? tsai said they will never send him. but he already knew his name was in that hot all the the media was not speculating. he received a call from mcchrystal when the article broke and he said it will be bad and he is pretty sure he received bribes from the white house he would probably lose his job. admiral mullen said your name is not speculated publicly but a high probability you are selected for afg

those of us in the broadcast community -- i think david and i
