two and a half hours later, the plane's wreckage was strewn across the landscape in eastern ukraine, where ukrainian government troops were fighting pro-russian separatists. the relatives soon heard that the nearly 300 people who were on board had died. but it took weeks before they received proof. silene fredriksz: on the 10th of september, we got the first identification of bryce. it was his right foot. and it was severely burned. and that was horrible. reporter: other dutch families went through similar things. many learned almost nothing. after months of waiting, robby oehlers -- daisy's cousin and a friend of the family -- went to the site on his own. the little he found out appalled him. robby oehlers: imagine there's an open field -- it's farm field. you have animals, you have birds. and daisy was not identified. be taken by something. e would reporter: when robby arrived at the site of the disaster he found the plane's wreckage simply piled up seemingly at random. robby oehlers: this is a part of the cockpit. i'm going to see if i can find anything. reporter: there, his worst

report: malaysian airlines flight mh 17 went down in war-torn eastern ukraine in 2014 with degree and metal spread all over. all 298 passengers on board died. two weeks passed before they can access the site and gather evidence, but at the same time, a parallel investigation into the crash by an international team began. in earlier findings, a group said that a missile launcher had been filmed before and after the crash and that after the crash, one missile was missing. later, they presented evidence to the dutch probe, that they should reassemble the fragments. the dutch safety board concluded that the plane was, indeed, brought down by a missile detonating to the left of the aircraft. western nations and the ukraine believe the missile was fired from the pro-russian separatists authority, but the russians are pointing their finger at the russian military, instead, and dutch officials are still debating who should have charges. the group has now identified 20 soldiers from the russian 53rd anti-aircraft brigade it believes that were likely involved in the downing of the malaysian air

the russians are, of course, still supporting the separatists in eastern ukraine.we want to keep the russians from going further than that, and so that has -- you know, we've been able to do that. but on the specific challenge of the russian support for separatists in eastern ukraine, on the challenge of trying to get the russians to truly support some kind of solution that would allow ukraine to move forward, when we're looking at the role of our sanctions policy -- and there are -- and the other challenge is, of course, trying to figure out with respect to russian calculations, you know, how much of their calculations, as their economy struggles, is due to the sanctions and how much is due to the drop in oil prices. >> which, you know, is helpful, so who's going to complain about that here. but, you know, how do we try -- how do we try to understand the impact of the sanctions on these different elements? and where's the focus right now in terms of what specifically we would want the russians to do? and are there things that if they did them, we would, then, look

as we've seen it play out in syria, certainly in eastern ukraine and crimea, we see potential adversaries who possess increased capability that could in fact in conflict threaten u.s. army ground forces. for all kinds of understandable reasons there are today in the regular army no short-range air defense battalions. they all exist in the reserve components. and a large component, large percentage of the national guard's short-range air defense is for all the right reasons and completely justify abiable commd to defense of the national capital region. we live under that umbrella right here, and we're thankful for that. but it leaves insufficient capacity for short-range air defense, for other army forces in other contingencies. >> if i could just add, the one thing i'd just add is yes, of course the russian threat is critical but we were extremely mindful as we -- and hopefully you'll see in the chapter we have on the future challenges that those kinds of weapons, and this is true well beyond short-range artillery issues, are exponentially dissipating across the globe. so the russian and

conversations particularly among moderate, perhaps moderate muslims in syria and iraq, places like eastern ukraine, the china periphery. i think getting into those conversations and having a reputation as a truth teller in those conversations is the most important thing in the last thing i will say wrong to that is the investment that we have, the differences. let's take a snapshot of russia's investment in their state media versus the united states treated to really a 100 to one 11 difference and we are the one. we are under a billion dollars compared to hundreds of dollars. so rearranging that billion dollars is an interesting conversation. it's an interesting approach but the real reform would be to think about how serious we want investment messaging that is our messaging which is the value the united states is represented by high-quality journalism. >> guest: let's talk again about delving a little further into this idea of countering propaganda with straight journalism. you know as you know there are those in congress and other areas who say why do we need a government funded -- to do that a

eastern europe, russia, ukraine, was very, very difficult. probably 20 to 30% decline in demand. overall europe looks like it did not grow much, probably about 2%, but it is really the difference between the west and the east. asia, similarly, very strong. china for the first time in a long time actually had a small decline in demand. but the overall story for 2015 and 2016 is really major reset and global currencies against the u.s. dollar, and the decline in demand in certain emerging markets like russia, brazil, and china. and that had a profound impact. it impacted our revenues by $3.5 billion last year. >> wow. >> it impacted our earnings by almost $4 a share. and that will carry over in part into 2016. >> so, jeff, i'm curious, following up on that point, as we sit here watching the dollar hit new highs in the dollar index, 13 year highs, doesn't seem like the dollar will abate in its rise. how concerned are you? how much of a head wind do you think that will be in 2016? are you thinking it is going to get worse in this new year? >> it is hard to be a currency forecaster, b
