in 1989 eastern europe was free from the grasp of the u.s. as far.that was a stupendous change in world history. the world communist movement practically fell apart. it wasn't just a fantasy of a few apologists for the u.s. as our by the end of the 1980s -- u.s. s. r. this was another stupendous achievement. and the end of 1991, more or less peacefully the ussr now put itself into the biggest dustbin of history, and communist rule completely ended. since the turn of our century, we have been living in a period where with the new oil revenues pouring in to the kremlin's coffers, russia has become more and more assertive and dangerous, especially towards its near memoirs, and there's talk of a new cold war. at the moment i feel that this is to belittle the scale of the dangers that face the entire world from the late 1940s through to the mid 1980s. it belittles the astonishing achievement of the u.s. and the ussr in bringing that to in and. and i hope that my book is something to explain why we still should be looking for reflections on our own age in

and right of free movement which is really valued by polls, check, countries of eastern europe and movewestern europe we insist you also take on your re responsibility of sharing refugees and you are right it's going to be difficult fight and people are not optimistic we will get an agreement at the end of the meeting. >> thanks for that, joy jackie in brussels there and we have the secretary-general of the council of europe, the regional organization promoting human rights, democracy and rule of law in the continent and says countriey countries can contro it but ill treating people cannot be tolerated. >> it has to be met with some very solid messages put in place, reception centers where these people are arriving so that they can be revisited and so that they can be distributed further to all the countries. otherwise the countries in europe will continue to push the people back and on the shoulder and this is a very unfortunate situation and we have to keep in mind the fact that all those who arrive on the european continent they are immediately under the protection of the european co

at the same time the so-called "people's democracies" of central and eastern europe effectively lost their sovereignty and were required to submit to the will dominating the entire bloc. the result of this artificial division of europe was the "cold war", a situation of international tension in which the threat of a nuclear holocaust hung over humanity. it was only when freedom was restored to the nations of central and eastern europe that the promise of the peace which should have come with the end of the war began to be realized for many of the victims of that conflict. the universal declaration of human rights, adopted in 1948, spoke eloquently of the rights of persons; but no similar international agreement has yet adequately addressed the rights of nations. this situation must be carefully pondered, for it raises urgent questions about justice and freedom in the world today. thee consider defining , such a of a nation made must nonetheless be if we wish to avoid the heirs of the past and ensure it just world order. presupposition of a nation's -- therefore, no one made of a natio

. >> but now for the first time, a "lockup" crew travels to eastern europe, and goes behind the walls of six maximum security prisons. >> there was a moment there where it was like, wait a second. this is a little different. >> it's one of europe's oldest cities. with a history scarred by war. it was invaded not once but twice by attila the hun. even today its ministry of defense building stands in ruins from nato bombings in 1999. this is belgrade. capital city of serbia. less than two miles from the city center, serbia's largest and most infamous prison. centraini zatvor. known locally as cz. >> my parents are from belgrade so there was a bit more emotion going to a prison in serbia than say other prisons around the world. cz has an ominous reputation for serbs. it's where inmates went in, and then you'd never see them again. >> cz opened its doors in 1950 and has housed countless political prisoners, including opponents of the late serbian president slobodan milosevic. many were still there when milosevic himself was incarcerated here in 2001, while awaiting trial for corruption an

you figured out there's money to be made in eastern europe, you've figured out this privatization thing is interesting. you then figure out russia is the place to go. so you end up in russia. and similar things happen. you're finding companies that are not well covered by analysts that are deeply, deeply undervalued and you start investing in those. you've now raised money from other people as well. >> so i started an investment fund. so we fast forward a number of years. i go from my $2,000 to $20,000. i ended up raising $25 million for an investment fund called the hermitage fund. i move to moscow. i'm the only wall street-educated investor on the ground in moscow at the time. >> and the banker, edmond safra, is your partner at this point. >> edmond safra, who was the owner of republic national bank was my partner. if poland was cheap, russia was 50 times cheaper. >> wow. >> it was remarkable. russia-- in order to go from communism to capitalism-- boris yeltsin, who was the president of russia at the time, decided that the best way to do that was to do what they called mass privatizat

what he meant to say is i will not accept any soviet domination of eastern europe. >> governor carter-up a response? >> charitably that was a momentary slip. uncharitably it was a loss of touch with reality. >> clearly a huge moment where the country makes the judgment, you know what, maybe we do need to go in a different direction and replace the president. [ indiscernible ] >> ford had never lost an election in his life. won 15 straight terms in the house. here he is beaten by a one-term governor of georgia. he was crushed. >> my voice isn't up to par. let me call on the real spokesperson for the family. betty. >> it's been the greatest honor of my husband's life to have served his fellow americans during two of the most difficult years in our history. >> i think the real test to come is now. will these people who have taken apart the old system can somehow translate politics into power and make a government work. that's their real test. we are on the threshold possibly of the greatest change since the new deal in 1932. ♪ ... to run this business. but i really love it. i'm on the mo

i think it is worrying, and that is a reason we put more resources into eastern europe, ago. >> and so i do think that that rhetoric is disturbing. i think it also has disturb said many neighbours, not just those in eastern europe, but disturbed much ints neighbours, you know, in other parts of the former soviet union. the policies, they do - they are a concern. they are causing russia foreign policy problems in its neighbourhood. >> good discussion. thank you for joining us. >> russia is not the only country. another wants in too. that's next. >>> russia is not the only country competing against the west to get a foothold in the arctic, so is china. the prize - new shipping lanes and 13% of undiscovered oil and natural gas. melting polar icecaps are unlocking new ice caps to the region, the trick is to be there before the ice is gone >>> three factors matter in real estate and geopolitics - location, location, location. and for those interested in water front property with breath-taking views, plenty of wildlife and the potential for future riches, this island could be a hidden gem. u

as you mentioned, some countries in eastern europe quite resistant to the idea. nevertheless, the e.u. commission president jean claude jonker has been categorical about the task facing the e.u. >> it's 160,000, that's the number. europeans have to take in charge and have to take in their house. and i really hope in this time everyone will be on board. no rhetorics. action is what is needed for the time being. >> what is striking is the way that the divide has emarriaged in europe. there's a separation between the eastern european countries and the western european countries. >>y, some of that is economically driven. certainly greece is struggling. a country struggling to deal with tens of thousands of refugees arriving. and the countries in eastern europe who are later arrivals to the e.u., whose economies are not as strong. nevertheless, jean claude jeonger is reminding everyone that not long ago refugees came from the east block countries. looking for asylum in western europe. maybe people need their memories refreshed. 24 hours ago i was in belgium, a europea

refugees, na in the years of the soviet block, there were polling, czechs, slough a fleeing from eastern europe to western europe seeking asylum. this is a long-standing tradition, and he made the point that people who today feel that they are safe could, in the future potentially find themselves in a situation where they too should be seeking urgent help. and he called on europe to live up to responsibilities, and not accept the lessons of a recent history. >> young girls talked about imposing legal -- jean paul juncker talked about legal migration, what do you make of that. >> europe has an ageing population. people in europe have not had children at the kind of prolific rates that they have in other parts of the world, with a result in a few years time, here in europe there'll be elderly needing benefit pensions, and if there are young people working, basically you have a top heavy any economy, a situation where there's not enough tax revenues coming in to pay for the care and benefits of the older population. what they were talking about was this idea whereby there could be a legal way to a

presumably, syria, eastern europe will be atop the agenda. have scolded obama for lack of response to both syria and ukraine on the part of the russians. the president went on a quick rant about critics who say our country is in decline, last week speaking to the business roundtable. >> our problem's not that china's going to outnegotiate us or that mr. putin is sort of outstrategizing us. take a look at russian economy lately? that's not our problem. our problem is us, typically. we're the -- we engage in -- i'm being generous when i say we, but -- [ laughter ] >> we engage in self-inflicted wounds. lou: did he say that? has anyone looked at the russian economy lately? has anyone looked at crimea, the eastern ukraine, syria lately? self-inflicted wounds, he said, there's a curious construction particularly as he tries to imply he's not the author of the infliction. the author of one wise and ineffective policies, whether his meaningless red lines in syria, brazen attacks on libya that destabilized the country for four years is mercifully ine

what we're seeing in terms of alternate proposals, particularly from the countries of eastern europe and poland, as europe is reinforcing our external borders. if the greeks, if the hungarians can't cope, we need to lend immigration officers, poland has offered to send some, the other countries of europe should send these people to the greek islands, to italy, to the eastern border of hungary to help process the people coming in. in a way it's a bit late to do that. it's the classic case of shutting the door after the horse has already bolted. but disparate proposals shows the lack of coherent united policies. in many ways, this process is laying bare some fundamental principles of the european union. >> jacky rowland is in brussels and takin keeping track of whats happening there. >>> this is a live shot of what's going on in rozka, right in the border down in the south of hungary. what we were just seeing just a second or two ago were what looked like police officers, officials of some sort anyway. continuing to erect that fence. you'll remember of course that this fence has been i

equivalent reduction or greater reduction of the soviet union with their occupation forces in eastern europe, and it worked. gorbachev welcomed the opportunity to reduce his fiscal obligations to occupations and that "sending that allowed elections to take place in poland and czechoslovakia and the freeing up of eastern europe. as george bush's amazing personal talent with both our allies and our foes that created the trust that is necessary for big powers and the great powers have significant powers to make the kind of policy commitments to produce good results. and in a matter of about two and a half years, george bush was able to lead a coalition into reaction a peaceful interaction that produced the dissolution of the number two superpowers in a world without a single shot being fired. i personally think that his greatest mistake was making it look so easy. and i hope as you read the book you will understand exactly what i mean when i say that. the second thing george bush did in terms of international policy, was to recognize that for too long, the u.s. had been limited in its capacity

wizz air the new kid on the block in central and eastern europe.r this year bought whole bunch of airbuses. good morning. nice to see you. we've heard from a bunch of your competitors they had a great summer. did you have a great summer and are you going to have a great winter? jozsef: yews. s. what we're seeing is the industry is in good shape. the market environment has and doing a lot of favor for airlines. theously we benefit from environment. but it is a great summer, a great winter. the most important issue for us is to make sure we use these times for building our strength in terms of refining or building liquidity. we stand firm already. we take advantage of that situation. less flexible now you have ipo'd? jozsef: one of the factors that has made up what we are today -- we are quick to make changes in the business. we are quick to making decisions. those issues and opportunities. we've maintained that spirit of the company, no matter whether we are private or public. of course, being a public company comes with more scrutiny, but we -- we

eastern europe was evacuated by the red army and non-communist governments were formed.and a largely peaceful way. the world communist movement fell apart. it had been falling apart for years and in the case, but it fell apart as a world movement. people and russia and its adjacent republics inside the ussr had new freedoms to communicate with each other, to travel abroad, to listen to tv and radio from foreign countries. agreements were made unconventional weaponry in europe. in that short space of time, in other words, a half decade at the end of the 1980s, extraordinary decisions were taken that brought an end to the most terrifying not war in human history. there have been hundreds of cold war's in history. the british and the french specialized, perhaps still specialized, in cold war's. and they've engaged in many hot wars as well but no cold war before the cold war had the capacity to threaten human and other animal life universally around the planet. it was an extraordinarily dangerous phenomenon. now, what i have the opportunity to do today is to focus on that as

why was there no global or pan european response, so the poor countries of europe, on the south-easternlank get a little europe? >> ray, the dublin mechanism was intended to provide for those allocations. it's not enforceable, and it was not designed tore this massive -- designed for this massive inflow of refugees. and our heart breaks for them from the crisis zones surrounding europe. the european union finds itself, and mr orban has been an outlier of other issues. the european union finds itself formulating the responses. i will say in fairness to the european union, that this is a pain. issue that the world has struggled, with so much of the refugee crisis in world war ii, in the run-up, when similar arguments to the security arguments - well, we can't take refugees from germany, perhaps they'll be german spies in the midst. the security arguments are not to be taken dispositively when you are facing a crisis. yet they are being recycled. the refugee issues are tough for any institution, but the e.u. has not had to deal with the volume before >>> i'm glad you brought that up. many

five years after world war ii, the communist armies had taken pretty much eastern europe. in 1949, the fall of 1949, america decided, yes, communism had taken over china. in the gop came out with their platform and the basis for their platform was they went after truman and the democrats. they were soft on communism. they were socialists. they were bringing about the downfall of america. people reading this, they were very upset about what was going on. so, that was the background for mccarthy coming to wheeling. it was at the time of the lincoln day dinner. all across the country, republicans were sending out speakers to speak at the great gatherings at the lincoln day dinner. mccarthy was assigned to wheeling. wheeling at that time was not a big city. we had 59,000 people. the dinner itself was held at the mcclure hotel colonnade room. it was to start at 6:30 p.m. it was in the paper for days before how they were organizing this. this was a big deal for wheeling. he was introduced by william callahan, who was a regional republican bigwig. they described the talk that he

only 18 years old he was able as you can imagine to get connected with serious gunrunners and eastern europe throughout the balkans and the swiss guy in particular who became his conduit. if you think of it he was like a genius hacker like a kid who had really no respect for boundaries, authority what was expected of him. what he had was appetites. his appetites were for money, drugs, and girls. he realized he got through $7 million business by the second year of his business, $7 million in contracts that it was much bigger than a good bigger than he could handle in the zone. he works 24 hours a day so we have decided to recruit one of his buddies from the yeshiva. he grew up in miami beach and they were the bad kids, the dropout kids. they were weirdly enough pointed this out they are training in these orthodox kid because the talmud but this contradict. and the trilingual historical references gave them the skill set to master technically challenging world. this other guy he approaches a guy named david. david packed house was attracted by the money and he asked diveroli who is 18 years ov

no one -- i guess he didn't invite them to also look at crimea, to look at eastern europe, to look at east where russian influence is rising, not ebbing, as is american influence in those same areas. >> it's quite staggering. of course pint does have an economic issue, no doubt about that. and the price of oil suddenly is undermining that. but here's a little of the scorecard in the middle east. because of the vacuum that's there, because we're disengaging, our friends have no choice but to create leverage, so they're doing business with putin. putin is selling $15 billion worth of arms to the king of saudi arabia. 7 billion to the uae, 5 billion to kuwait. he's in an arms deal right now with egypt, the country we stiffed providing the apaches to because of the way assisi assumed power. he's on the ground in egypt russian trainers helping assisi fight the counterterrorism battle he's doing against isis. he's on the movement established a command post with the syrians and with the hezbollah at the airbase in syria and reports we have now he's got one with the syrians and the iranians i

the moral dynamics of this universal quest for freedom clearly appeared in central and eastern europe during the nonviolent revolutions of 1989. unfolding in specific times and places, those historical events nonetheless taught a lesson which goes far beyond a specific geographical location. for the nonviolent revolutions of 1989 demonstrated that the quest for freedom cannot be suppressed. it arises from a recognition of the inestimable dignity and value of the human person, and it cannot fail to be accompanied by a commitment on behalf of the human person. modern totalitarianism has been, first and foremost, an assault on the dignity of the person, an assault which has gone even to the point of denying the inalienable value of the individual's life. the revolutions of 1989 were made possible by the commitment of brave men and women inspired by a different, and ultimately more profound and powerful, vision: the vision of man as a creature of intelligence and free will, immersed in a mystery which transcends his own being and endowed with the ability to reflect and the ability to choo

putin in eastern europe. i ask for two more minutes. even president carter, president jimmy carter admitted that the united states influence is probably lower now than it was six or seven years ago. this isn't some republican criticizing a democrat president. this is jimmy carter, former president of the united states and a member of the democratic party who is saying, the united states influence is probably lower now than it was six or seven years ago. this is a difficult statement to take in and president carter has been wrong about national security issues but he's right on that one. congress has an important role to play. i can't think of a single more important national security issue than iran's aspirations for a nuclear weapon. this is a true game-changer in terms of stability and peace in the middle east and our own safety and security. and i know that iran and the rest of our colleagues will -- and i know that i and the rest of our colleagues would like to put it on a microscope and have no trouble voting it down because it jeo

seen the obama administration send token forces to eastern europe. there's clearly now recognition we need more forces in eastern europe, and afghanistan, not clear what we'll do there but we need forces there. so given how small our ground forces are i think we do need more of them to do the sorts of things that need to be done today. >> host: the last really extensive ground operation the united states conducted was, of course, iraq. and one of the most significant changes that has happened during the obama administration has been a shift in policy and how to deal with iraq, with the role of american presence there, and the question of, what you see debated in the media, which is who is really to blame for the growing mess and instability not just in iraq but in that entire region, and with it all the role of isis. how do you assess those issues? >> guest: i think in iraq, certainly you can question the wisdom of going in 2003. i think now, given what we know about wmd and the intelligence problems that there's a strong case to be made that if we h

many migrants travel by trains to hungary as they go from eastern europe to western europe.in hungary are stopping the trains and sending some migrants to refugee camps. one group started a hunger strike after officials removed them from a train traveling from budapest to vienna. another man threw his wife and child on to the tracks in protest. hungary says it's just following the european laws. >> we are not criminals. we have right to cross this boreder. >> thousands of migrants are fleeing war and poverty in places like the middle east, asia and africa. >>> 4:16 now. back here at home we're learning new information for anyone looking to take the river link ferry from camden to philadelphia over the weekend of the papal visit. here's a live look at the ben franklin bridge where that ferry will run alongside anyone who chooses to walk the bridge. we expect thousands to do that. with limited parking, how do you get to the ferry? >> officials say they hope to have an answer to that question by next week. they're encouraging people to take public transit to get there. the rive

a lot of hostility in eastern europe to these compulsory quotas, and an influx of people from middle east and africa will change the character of europe forever. but not everyone arriving on the shores of southern europe will be allowed to claim asylum. these may ultimately be classed economic migrants and not refugees, those searching for work and a better life will be sent home. jacky rowland, al jazeera, strassberg. >> publications are printing guides in arabic, a list of common german words, and as we reported germany expects to take on an unprecedented 800,000 asylum seekers this year. joining us is germany's ambassador to the united states, peter vitig, it is good for you to join us. the head of the eu tried to sell quotas, but only for half of those that may have arrived in europe this year. but most countries don't even want a share of that 160,000. with this internal conflict, do you think the eu can reach agreement to help defuse this crisis? >> this is certainly a big test, a litmus test of solidarity for european union. but don't forget: this crisis has historic proportion

there is a lot of hostility in eastern europe to the proposed quotas, and far right politicians argue that the influx of people from the middle east and africa will change the character of europe forever. not all can claim asylum. these new arrivals may be cast as economic migrants, not refugees, and the e.u. has said that people simply searching for work and a better life will be sent home. jacky rowland, al jazeera, strasbourg. >> in hungary police are dealing with a number of refugees. refugees trying to breakaway from the police cordon after waiting hours to board buses. many are concerned that their fingerprints will be taken at tamps potentially stopping them from entering other european countries. >> we've seen hundreds of refugees today. some even from afghanistan. many are worried about what will happen to them next. in the last few hours there were hundreds of refugees in that area behind us. buses came to take them away. we were told they were taken to a refugee camp refugeees, and they've heard horrific stories of treatment of other refugees here in hungary over the past w

thousands of people are still pouring into eastern europe and the balkans with authorities struggling to cope with the influx. huge crowds of people are being passed from border to border. croatia has been transporting train loads of migrants to hungary. hungary is now extending its fence with croatia. thousands of migrants have arrived en masse at austria. capitalmins is in the of austria. some 24,000 people arrived in austria this weekend alone. reporter: that is right. no let up in the arrivals in austria despite the introduction of these tough border controls and countries like croatia and building up this fence in hungary. since midnight until 6:00 this morning, 3200 people arrived in the town of nichols north, along the eastern border with hungary. we are hearing a train carrying around 1000 people is set to arrive anytime. this is happening on different fronts because in the south on the southern border year -- border with slovenia, hundreds of refugees arriving. you have got quite a difficult logistical problem developing. the austrian red cross was saying over the weekend the
