blow to the middle east peace process with the palestinians now saying they will reassess their role in the talks this is the first un veto used by the obama administration. peace in germany had to fire tear gas and water cannon to prevent violence during an annual far right rally in dresden and around a thousand people gathered for a state approved action to commemorate a deadly allied bombing at the end of world war two many more leftist counter-demonstrators supported by civil rights groups and democratic parties attended to some of them tried to attack the gathering by throwing rocks and bottles. well blockbusters and no to draw huge crowds a grave might seem unlikely tourist attraction unless the person buried there is one harry potter but it's not quite what you're thinking this in fact is the final resting place of a teenager a british soldier killed decades ago which isn't stopping wizard fans from flocking to visit and result is paula's slip found out for us this part of the story as anything but a match you candy. harry potter is good and varied in israel but before you die hard potter fans collapse from the shock we're talking about a very different harry and a

germany. it's quite a significant event in terms of both global security and global politics because the issues discussed at this conference ranged from the current circumstances egypt to the situation in the middle east on to his relation. to you or the lancet security in general and the little palooka lead to explore in these discussions and that's why this conference is over is often called as the security dialogue because it really shows the tendencies of global politics for the rest of the year although it is a formality as the moment that the presidents of both countries both russia and the united states have been really pushing for from the very beginning or from the start if you wish since the negotiations on the street it lasted for over a year before the treaty was signed by the two heads of the two missions a venue and a loss of internal discussion especially in the united states which lasted for around ten more months and then it was finally first ratified by the u.s. congress and by both houses of the russian parliament and signed by the president and now only this formal exchange of the ratification documents is left before the treaty can come into force which is aimed at reducing the nu

east. there's no question people in this room work every day to argue for the return of property. leo and many others are looking the for the return of their property in poland and czechoslovakia and germany and parts of russia. there are many jews in the arab world who were left penniless. what do i mean? they took them out and pulled the rings out of their years and took bracelets from their arms and did everything possible to leave them penniless. why? because the arabs thought we don't have the manpower to kill all the jews. we don't wish to now. although they did have concentration camps in north africa. the manpower to do that. what we will do is create a demographic bond. we will flood a million jews into israel. they won't know what to do with them. they will be on the beach and israel will collapse. that did not occur. arabs were kept in refugee camps for decades. the jews were absorbed into is really society immediately and as you all know, who is running the israeli government today? one way or the other, in many instancess, jews who came from arab countries. they were not marginalize. they were not left to die on the sand. this is a historic truth. you must acknowledge what ha

helmut schmidt and his people in germany in the middle of the cold war looking for a way to resolve the dispute that had led to the division of their country into east and west, formulated the idea of common security. i think of this, again, as an outgrowth of boor's idea, that as long as they were in a new situation that couldn't be resolved by war. the germans took the idea of common security to the russians, agreed with the russians to sign a treaty that would make permanent the existing borders of states in europe, meaning west germany agreed to the division of itself into two parts. but they did that believing that that was the first step toward a negotiated resolution of their differences and, of course, they turned out to be right. no longer against each other but only with each other shall we be secure. and this was then formulated more elaborately by a commission headed by olaf palma, the prime minister of sweden who was assassinated several years later with the commission at the u.n. all states, each the most powerful, are dependent in the end upon the good sense and restraint of other nations. even ideological and political opponents have

east, as well. there is no question there are people who work every day to argue for their return property. i know that leo here is looking for the return of their property in poland, czechoslovakia, germany, russia. there are many jews in the arab world who are left penniless. what do i mean by penniless? it took them out, pulled the rings out of their years, the bracelets from their arms and did everything possible to leave them penniless. why? because the arabs thought we don't have the manpower to kill all the jews, and we don't wish to know. they did have concentration camps in north africa. don't have the manpower to do that. but we will do is create a demographic, fled a million jews into israel. they will know what to do. they'll be on the beach, and israel will collapse. that did not occur. arabs were kept in refugee camps for decades. the issues were absorbed into israeli society immediately, but as you all know, who is running the israeli government today? one way or the other in many instances jews who came from arab countries. so they were not marginalize, there were not left to die on the sand. so this is a historic truth. you must to acknowledge what happened to a million j

germany, we bombed them back. guest: think fee-for-service. i do not want to comment about the individual presidents. host: without commenting on the current or past administrations on policies in the middle east, talk to me about the difficulty with working with different entities in the middle east because of the shifting political situation, leaders changing, desires of various populations changing. why is the middle east such a hard thing for the united states, especially for both demonstrations, to get their hands around? guest: my job in the state department was dealing with the public so i will talk about that. it has become much easier to communicate thinks to social media and satellite television. i do think one of the problems in the middle east, and this is true in all parts of the world, are these conspiracy theories that kind of sweeping different countries. it is difficult to bad those kinds of notions had gone. the other problem was this narrative, this very powerful motion that the united states is out to destroy islam. that is pervasive. it is my feeling that the best way to combat that is to not say that we are not, but if you take it had gone i do not think it is all that ef
