be in control of partners here with france, potentially russia to help do that returning that enriched uranium just to a level that would help them pursue their energy pursuits, not anything beyond that? >> no, that's right. in fact, the idea of international nuclear fall bank, if you could call it that, has been something that was talked about in congress during the second term of president bush. and this is something that at least so far, the iranians have been fairly cool b the fact that they are changing stance now, or at least appear to be giving indications that they are considering it is certainly a positive sign but it is also, i think, somewhat problematic in the sense that it creates a situation where iran can engage in clandestine uranium enrichment at home without having even nominal oversight of the international community because they can say that all the uranium enrichment is going on abroad and therefore there is no need for inspectors at all. >> okay to. >> i want to bring back savannah quickly while waiting for the president, something elan talked about in the face-to

iran said it will explore a proposal to turn over most of its low grade uranium to russia and france. it's turned into nuclear fuel for research in a form that could not be used for a bomb, then send it back to iran. if it works, it could be expanded. >> you could eliminate a need to operate an enrichment program inside iran. >> reporter: the administration says these talks will be the first test of the policy of diplomatic engagement. they agreed to meet, again, at the end of the month. >> thanks. >>> today in washington, i interviewed david petraeus. the general has been in on these talks on afghanistan with president obama. he said, again, today, it's a far different war. a direct outgrowth of 9/11. among other things, i asked about the main reason u.s. troops went to that place eight years ago, osama bin laden. on your top list going forward, where does osama bin laden fit on those? >> well, bin laden obviously has enormous iconic importance and a degree of operational importance. it's really his deputy issuing the instructions. the top two are of significant importance. and, it i

talk about a new plan which would have iran give its low grade uranium to other countries sit as france and russia and have it brought back after it is further enriched to iran for medical purposes. this could be the beginning of a uranium swap that could lead to iran disbanding its own nuclear program. a possibility of a further break through. hillary clinton today called this very productive talks, but she wants to see whether or not the delivery is concrete. more on that in a minute and coming up here, david kay, former u.n. weapon inspector and ambassador wendy sherman and chair of the house intelligence committee, subcommittee jane harmine and talking about afghanistan, jeff moral and majority leader hoyer. live in a very busy day in geneva. geneva has been the center of international diplomacy and clearly the top story today at the white house. let's go to savannah guthrie. savannah, big developments within the hour. we have seen iran agree to inspections and we are told they are prompt within weeks and told another high-level meeting and another point is that the uranium foreign

so -- >> jimmy: do you speak french when you live in france? >> everyone asks me that. i first moved there i felt like, i got to be able to communicate with the people, and speak the language, right? and we live in a jorngorge, youe to walk up to go to the village there's people there's houses. i don't want them to hate me. i would go up to them, say bonjour. french are cool but civilized. and they go, bonjour, and then i'm lost, right? so, i figure, what can i do? so i would say, bonjour, and they go bonjour, and i look up at the son, and i go soleil. and they talk about the sun for three minutes. then i would go back. if i was cloudy, i would be walking up, and i would go -- >> what do you have up your ass, man? loosen up, baby. >> just seems like -- you live in a village of morons. i'm kidding. >> so -- >> jimmy: so -- >> when it's cloudy -- when it's cloudy out. >> very french. very french. >> when it's cloudy out, i go up and say bonjour, then go, soleil. and then they talk about no sun. >> jimmy: it's your all purpose world. >> if you didn't interrupt me, you'd be

why he is trying to line up france and britain and other countries to support sanctions against iran if the inspections show they are moving forward with a nuclear program. >> gregg: congressman lathum, iran purchased the nuclear know how from pakistan and let me quote. again the iaea, iran has sufficient information to be able to define and produce a workable implosion nuclear device and, indeed, tehran has already tested an implosion device. they did so successfully and its defined to fit atop of the shahab medium range missile. is there any doubt in geographer mind that iran is building nuclear weapons? >> i don't think there is any question they are building weapons that have the potential to attack russia or excuse me, europe, israel, to destabilize the whole region. you have a country where their leadership denies the holocaust and they are not rational thinkers to begin with. you have last week when benjamin netanyahu went to moscow and laid out the seinlists from russia were helping to build the nuclear weapons. it's far advanced than what anyone thought it was before. this c

there was no extradition treaty with france.make no mistake, they tried no less than eight times in eight different countries. by the way, in ce pplon't know this, all the people standing up for him, he brought a motion to dismiss the charges. he is the one who stirred up the pot. he thumbed his nose nose at the united states criminal system. it's time to bring him back. >> gregg: all right. thank you both. great to see you both. >>> admit i can't be objective about this matter. it's just awful. >>> president obama facing a difficult decision, should the united states send more troops to the afghanistan. top commander says we need more manpower. coming up we'll take a look at the other options on the table and what the president should do.

in france the president is a conservative who defeated the socialist canada. hasn't the world changed when we end up applauding the french president? [laughter] there was a very interesting story, which you can imagine from their perspective, they did not quite make the direct contrast to the u.s., but i am here to tell you that the socialist wing of the democratic party is going to lead the democratic party to a massive defeat comparable to 1980. [applause] but that means to learn one of the great educational learning moments, that is what happened in 1987. we made a movie on ronald reagan. when you watch 90 minutes of ronald reagan and you see him on the screen rather than read about him you realize what an extraordinarily effective teacher he was. he was not disagree commuter -- communicator -- he was not just the great communicator, she was a great teacher. -- he was a great teacher. people move dramatically over the carter administration. carter entered office with higher approval ratings than president obama. in 1977, the poll numbers were higher for jim

they claim that arab states have launched secret moves with china, russia and france to stop using u.s. currency for oil trading. they plan, instead, to move towards a basket of currencies. oh. that sounds inclusive, doesn't it? i mean, are there isn't witches in it. the basket includes the euro, the pound, the sterling, the canadian dollar, the sweetdish crown and the french franc. there seems to be something missing there. what do you say? just so you know, the saudi central bank governor denies the secret talks took place. in fact, they said "at this time there is absolutely no reason to move away from the dollar. we have no plans." uh-huh, uh-huh. so i'm sure we can all assume that the dollar is here to stay, and everything is just peachy. but in the off chance that maybe somebody in the middle east wouldn't tell us exactly the truth, you know, that they're not 100% reliable, maybe we should discover what it means for our dollar and our country if it's no longer pegged to oil. what does that mean for you? well, everybody -- let me show you this. a long time ago, back after the worl

one being the show of unity between the united states, united kingdom, france, germany and even good statements from the russians as well. >> let me ask you, if the diplomacy doesn't work, how far is the international community really willing to go to get iran to stop its enrichment activity? >> i think we have to see what happens out of these talks, but one thing that will make a difference for the appetite the international community has for taking steps is last week's revelations, the discovery of the second facility. this is a big deal. they've been trying to say the nuclear file is closed. it is not closed. this is a secret facility. there are questions now about whether there are other facilities. this really raises a lot of skepticism in the minds of other countries that, to date, have been open minded about iran's program. >> if you do get nations willing to put forward those sanction, can it make a difference on iran's enrichment activity? cleef negotiator saying bring it on. he welcomes more sanctions. >> right. lelt's be clear. i don't think the purpose of these sanctions

is a very serious process where we are together aligned with the p5 plus 1 that's russia, china, francen, germany and the united states, presenting iran with a very stark choice. either they give up their nuclear weapons program to our satisfaction or they will face additional pressure. >> that threat, that promise, however you want to coach that, does that work? is that why iran reacted the way it did? >> what you're talking about is the process that has gone on for several years starting in 2002. and iran has successfully while they're been intense international pressure, they've managed to build and even richment site where they have 8,000 centrifuges, 45 oof them churning enriched un rain yum, but the push administration took a policy of not talking to iran. the obama administration is trying to talk to iran. and with the meeting last thursday, we're seeing the first fruits of this policy. and once again the great surprise was is that iran is willing to ship 80% of the enreched uranium out of the country. whether they do this, whether they follow through, will they follow through in

it's just -- you know, if we were living in canada or britain or france or sweden or spain or italy, we wouldn't have any of this going on. why do we allow this to happen? we're smarter than this. we're better than this. and i just -- i'm insisting that we get our congress to get on board with what the american people want. >> all right. well, a lot of people agree with that and we will see how the movie is received when it does open up today. it's "capitalism: a love story "and this is film maker michael moore. thanks very much. >> oh, andy the way, it's a comedy. >> very good. thank you so much. nice way to end because it is so big and people feelings run so deep and we're looking for answers. >>> tucker barnes is here to tell us what's going on with our weather across the region. not too bad. >> not too bad temperature- wise. we've got a lot of clouds to start the day, but if you hang in there, there will be more and more peeks of sun today. >> it's a beautiful day. >> it's always a beautiful day on a friday. >> which might be my favorite weather song. >> we've got to go to facebo

the other part of this, which is they will now take their low grade uranium and ship it to either francend russia in all likelihood to have it made into higher grade uranium to be used in their research facility. theoretically outsourcing the enrichment of their uranium would mean that they could shut down these facilities that would otherwise be used, we fear would be used to create material for nuclear weapons. but we didn't hear the iranians say yesterday now that we have come to this agreement that we are going to send this material to be outsourced that we no longer need all thiessen tri fugitives. we didn't hear that i think the president was right. what the administration, and being cautious. the administration has heretofore said that december is the deadline. we either have to have significant progress aimed at ending that's programs or something bad is going to happen. i think iran may have wanted to take the air out of the sanctions effort that been growing in the last couple of weeks. juan: karl, isn't this just buying them times. here is karl rove supporting president obama.

france played a key role in the mission patrolling the waters near somalia. this shows the navy fighting back after a frigate was attacked in may. several were captured. more than 20 suspects were handed over to kenya. green them to trial is a legal mine field. for these pirates, the future is uncertain. for now, her mission in the indian ocean continues as normal. >> the heavy floods in southern india have damaged hundreds of millions of dollars worth of crops. that could mean severe food shortages. and these 250 people have been killed and millions displaced. these were the worst floods in decades. >> living in desperation on the edge of what was once their home. this community is one of an estimated 2.5 million people who are now homeless. and forced to find shelter just about anywhere. drinking water and food is in short supply. aid agencies have joined the government in providing relief. it is not reaching everyone. now there is a french concern. the floods of damage millions of dollars worth of farm land. >> 80 hectares of crops are damaged. the total l

the iranians agreed to sell nuclear material iran to france or russia. george bush could not have gotten that done in eight years. >> that is who you are siding? iran continuously embarrasses this country. >> what would you do about it? >> i am not saying invade them. i am saying, do not apologize. [people, read a book] here's another topic. i will tell you this. my letter this morning and it was george bush's fault. >> it is going to rain tomorrow. i broke a hill on my way here. it was president bush's fault. i just want to know when the democrats, when is it going to be barack obama's administration. when are the democrats going to stop blaming president bush? >> once we clean up his masses. it will take a long time. patti ann: thank you very much, as always. bill: i enjoyed it. in the meantime, we want to move to china, commemorating a important event in its history. the 60 anniversary of communist rule. highlighting its growing and millet -- military and economic strength. an old symbol is making a comeback. mao zedong represents a link to the past,

i frankly prefer the public statements the president of france has been making about freedom in iran. about the opposition in iran and the unacceptable of iran having a nuclear weapon to what president obama has been saying but it may be that president obama is keeping very calm and playing his cards close to his vest and we will come out and do something divisive. i hope so. >> we have to go but with afghanistan, a government that is under a cloud for fraudulent elections, us, being seen as maybe propping up a fraudulent government, more troops in country, is this surge necessary in afghanistan to protect our troops and the afghans? >> i think we need to listen to general mcchrystal. what is he suggesting in afghanistan is what succeeded in iraq and we had the same argument in 2006 and 2007 about iraq. a lot of people say it won't work to have the surge and the anbar awakening before hand and work with the sunnies. it largely worked. looks like it has. the general is suggesting the same thing in afghanistan an what the others are suggesting, such as vice president biden is effectivel

in the sense that they were ogether at the united nations and later athe g-20 with theleaders from france andgermany and he lik and that unitefront on against iran i think rojects a very strong message of multilateralism and hopelly very aggressive and anctions if theiranians don'tcomply. so with regard o that rticular challenge hat he's nfronted with now, so far so good. the meetg is amazi. they're going to meet today in neva and the iraans other greed to--agreed t talk about nuclear ises but ot about their nuclear apirations or capabilities. with respect to ira, strong multileral leadership it's a chance to answer the qstion he asked i the primary campaign, who dyou want answering the phone at tk n -- 2:00 in the morni. unfortunely it rang now. tavis: and your though about the pushck that former vice president dick chey has been delivering agast the admistration about the issue of security and safety and terroris and you know thadrills down awfulldeep. >> first o all, th regard to terrorism generly i dn't see too many operational differences presently withn the administration as conduct

already the united states, britain, and france are beginning quietly to discuss the details with possible new sanctions of the talks don't succeed. ideas include tightening of sanctions on iranian banks, more restrictions on investments in the oil and gas industry, and measures against iran air cargo and the islamic republic shipping line. >> i think what is critical is persuading the iranians or leading them to the conclusion that their security will be diminished by trying to get nuclear weapons. and their economic problems are difficult enough that i think that severe sanctions would have the potential of bringing them to change their policies. >> in the background, always the threat of israeli military action against the country is reveilles could threaten its very existence if it acquires nuclear weapons. iran' says it is time for the ws a change its policies. does not seem promising for this new round of talks. >> a quick round up of other stories. the iraqi prime minister nouri al-maliki formed a new political bloc to contest the elections in january. the alliance will be called st

michael moore puts as an example of countries he likes, france, japan, germany, they are all capitalist countries. it is ironic that he is holding up the same structures that he is criticizing. >> it is a sad day when the europeans have to teach us how good capitalism is. >> socialism or capitalism, it's kind of ironic that he is trying to reason it out this week when ken lewis, the head of bank of america, a bank that still owes me $4 45 billion that he owned it last year gets to retire with a mere $53 million. don't worry, america, we haven't changed. we still look out for the fat cats. >> the fact is that the europeans -- >> what's up with that? ought europeans had their socialist experiment. they said it doesn't work. we want to go back to capitalism. can they teach us a lesson about capitalism now? >> i hope so. there is those that say history swings like a pendulum back and forth and that we're going back and forth and with europe moving to the right and germany moving to the right, i think it's different. i think you should always move towards capitalism which is the most effecie

the sense that they were together at the united nations and later at the g-20 with the leaders from france and germany and the like and that united front on against iran i think projects a very strong message of multilateralism and hopefully very aggressive and sanctions if the iranians don't comply. so with regard to that particular challenge that he's confronted with now, so far so good. the meeting is amazing. they're going to meet today in geneva and the iranians other greed to -- agreed to talk about nuclear issues but not about their nuclear aspirations or capabilities. with respect to iran, strong multilateral leadership, it's a chance to answer the question he asked in the primary campaign, who do you want answering the phone at tk in -- 2:00 in the morning. unfortunately it rang now. tavis: and your thoughts about the pushback that former vice president dick cheney has been delivering against the administration about the issue of security and safety and terrorism? and you know that drills down awfully deep. >> first of all, with regard to terrorism generally i don't see too many o

france has done it since the '60s, but ours will be the world's largest, and the greatest part, it's entirely eco-friendly. >> reporter: eco-friendly green energy is fast becoming the catchphrase of the times. the man responsible for south korea's future vision says his government is serious about reducing the use of polluting fossil fuels. to prove his point, he commutes by driving an all-electric vehicle. >> the basic philosophy of green growth is you can get healthy growth by making things green, by making things less dependent on fossil fuel, by making things far more energy efficient. >> reporter: like many nations, south korea's wealth has come on the back of heavy industry. it remains today one of the world's largest greenhouse gas polluters. but ange is in the air. every week it seems authorities are ushering in a new green project. here residents of seoul celebrate the opening of a park. its lights are powered by the wind. nearby, solar panels pump electricity to the city's power grid. and it may be hard to imagine, but local nature reserve used to be the city dump. for 15 y

the president of france sarkozy urged both of them to ratify it as quickly as possible. there were no official comment from the polish president after the positive result of referendum in ireland. so far only one of his officials one of the ministers in his office claims that mr. kachinski would keep his word. the prime minister asked him to do it as quickly as soon as possible. the situation is probably even more unclear in czech republic where the allies of the president treating it as probably the last result to delay of block the whole process of implementation of the treaty asking the judges whether that documents were in line with the czech's law, whether it didn't breech the constitution that judging may take several weeks. so still some questions, there is some opportunity and obstacles concerning the lisbon treaty here in central europe. that's all from marcel, back to you. >> thanks indeed. tvn, cnbc business. >>> well, mazda will dilute the shares by 22%. the japanese automaker will use proceeds for research and development of low emissions vehicles. m mazda h

i lived in france for a while. it there, and they say bur law scony has the teenager girlfriends, and the difference is roman polanski raped a 13-year-old girl, and so the parallels are tough. >> yeah, and there were drugs involved. and he admitted most of this, right? >> yeah, plead guilty. >> quickly, book review? >> well, big change of topic. well, the man of the moment, i would be interesting to think what pat things about this, and george cannon. neil shan wrote a great story and has his first book out in 20 years, and it's about the creation of building the enter continental ballistic missiles that kept us from armageddon. >> yeah, that sounds exciting. but cannon helped to inspire my last book, and he wrote me saying we agree on world war ii, and not many agree. i used to criticize him, and i came around to think that he was a great thinker and a conservative. >> yeah, i will tell you it makes a case for the wise men to go back to look at it. >> is there a wiseman today? who do we have? bob gates the close w

enrichment plant, many of the other countries at the negotiating table tomorrow, the u.s., britain, france, germany, china and russia, are already contemplating new and tighter sanctions on tehran, a clear signal that hopes for the meeting's success are low. the talks in switzerland will be closely monitored in israel. earlier this week, the iranians test-fired missiles capable of reaching israel. and ahmadinejad has repeatedly questioned israel's right to exist. ephraim kam closely follows iran. >> i believe there's nobody in israel, in europe or the states that are hopeful or optimistic about the talks that are going to start tomorrow. they're trying to gain time in order to make further progress on their nuclear program. and then is a tactic. >> for years the israeli government has warned that iran was not being honest about the size and nature of its nuclear program and has held out the possibility of military action against iran's nuclear facilities. but for now, israel is prepared to let other countries take the lead in confronting iran, hoping the threat of harsher sanctions will pe

france and japan, last time i checked they seemed to like us. they are all looking down this road for independent currency. they want to price oil with a basket of currencies, but not our currency. deficits are out of this world, now the dollar is clearly out of favor. the cheaper than it gets, the more competitive american companies get abroad. not exactly a ringing endorsement of how things are going here. if this goes through, we could lose a lot. >> it is more than simply prestige. it is about respect. we have lost respect of a lot of fronts around the world. not just what is happening to the global currency. gold is a hedge. i am trying to buy it as well. shepard -- neil: the market is saying that inflation is coming back. that all of this spending everywhere is going to bring us back. do you buy that? >> inflation will come back. then we will try to control inflation with interest rates and we will have to start the cycle all over again. neil: this could be a sign of things to come. >> it is also about trade policy. we have not been able t

france is mcdonald's biggest market outside of the united states. art swine flu vaccinations safe for pregnant women and babies? and that is your "money scope" report. i'm jeremy hubbard. >>> 6:20, 54 degrees. >> the redskins show some signs of life. we will hear from some players. >> a win is a win. later on "oprah," he went from singing on the street for money to singing for the band journey. you'll not believe the story. >>> welcome back. 6:23. the redskins rallied late in the day. the offense finally caught fire. >> we have a look back at the game. >> first half could not have gone much worse. >> what else could go wrong? >> jason campbell was sacked on the third play from scrimmage and fumbled. the fans were fed up. the boo birds were out. >> everyone was booing left and right. >> deangelo hall intercepted joshed johnson. that led to a field goal. on the next possession, campbell hit chris cooley in the end zone. >> we got into a rhythm. >> jason campbell went deep for santana moss. perfect pass. 59 yards. 16-13, the final. >> i liked the way t

in france they have what you call social democracy. you have free enterprise, you have capitalism but you also take care of the disenfranchised. it's not a mystery. it's this rabid right thing -- >> what about the racism. >> but i have no opinion on this. >> what about the racism question on obama? you said i'm concerned there are still serious issues of race relations for example as explefied in the sotomayor confirmation hears and arrest of professor gates we need to better address and be brutally honest about. >> yeah. >> people do skirt the racist issue, i think quite a bit. they'd like to say it is still not a racist country but in a way it is, isn't it? >> in a big way it is. they are still red lining in banks. you still see health problems among the blacks and hispanics and poor people that people of means don't have the same health problems. we put pollution next to poor neighborhoods. i mean, there is so much discrimination that's just built into the fabric of america. but, also, 70 million people that we know of, maybe more,
