finding somebody on the ground and where of it is, japan, china, france or germany, and having them dohe work and them be on the ground is important. >> and you find partners or employees or how do you do it? >> i think it's either way. i think employees are probably the best, most effective, the quickest solution, but i completely agree and it is very cultural. it gets lost in translation and the subtleties aren't there. it's hard to coalesce people if it doesn't feel close to appropriate. >> i think so. >> it's good to ask people who have done it, i imagine. they know some of the roadblocks that you wouldn't even think of because you'd never been there. >> right. and the same thing for social media, finding somebody locally is really important, creating content for the website, making the content creative locally is essential. straight translations just don't work. >> david and christiane, thank you for coming. good for us we got to pick your brains a little bit today. >> thanks for having you. >> if any of you out there have your own question and you want some good advice head over

neither one or the other is planning to join france or germany. and look at some of the key people. one of the new hero act figures. do you know he didn't speak much once ago? he spoke mostly just russian. the great enemy comes from one or the other and she didn't speak much ukrainian when she entered about politics but now of course she speaks ukrainian. this is much more of a nation than we allowed and they were denied their national identity for a long time but since the 19th century started evolving and developing and acquiring the spirit of its own. for example they rejected the notion of kiev and emphasized which they are the defendant but not russia. it was greek orthodox. most people ignore that. russian orthodox and urged. so they are asserting their own identity and claiming their own history and there is a dispute. but ukraine is not a nation. russia and ukraine are one nation. >> what would you advise right now? >> i think the president ought to offer what he hasn't offered yet which is that we put together a program to see if you could get away from the direction we are

no one has run to his side or taken up his position, and i think what you see is the president working with france, working with germanyworking with our allies in europe, and i think expanding beyond that, i think to try to put a framework in place. what i see from the current ukrainian prime minister was some pretty tough talk. and tough talk which means that there are a large number of forces in the world that are standing up to vladimir putin and i think that's going to continue, and i think what does concern me is this idea that we used to defer, unite, consolidate behind the president when there was a foreign policy crisis. i think we do best to allow the president to be the voice of the nation as he tries to work out a diplomatic solution to a difficult crisis. >> let me turn you to a domestic issue here. there was a decision this morning by the kansas supreme court, the state supreme court there, that says the current school funding and the levels of public school funding is inadequate and unconstitutional. ron, they did lose a lot of tax revenue in that state when the governor put in much lower -- and the legis

gas exports, not only via and to ukraine but like germany, hungary, czech republic, even as far as france and uk, if they start denying exports of liquid or natural gas, can the u.s. pick up the slack? can the u.s. from its vast and growing production of gas particularly as a result of shale gas so-called fracking, the u.s. has about 110 different facilities for importing and exporting liquefied natural gas. now, it's not easy. and it's very expensive. and frankly if you start getting the gas out in the united states or be it at a fairly cheap price because of the sheer amount of production, then sending it to the eastern seaboard, liquefying it, putting it on a boat, sending it across to europe and then distributing it, you can start to see this is not a cheap or long-term solution. but, wolf, if russia turns off the taps and a crisis ensues, then, yes, the u.s. is now considering whether it can make up some of that shortness in supply. >> richard quest with that explanation. an important development unfolding. thanks very much. we're going to take a quick break, resume the breaking news coverage on the developments in ukraine. you heard

or in georgia, or sitting in moldova, russia is a serious threat to the sovereignty of your country. we have seen that. if you move beyond that into europe, particularly germany, france, the united states, that framework falls apart. russia is not a threat to security of those places. it is for europe, an important economic relationship. and the russians understand that. a lot of talk, at the end of the day when i hear the u.s. speaking of sanctions - can we dollar on that. sanctions are real if they are joined in the u.s. and europe. europe may say "we don't want to do this?" do you run the risk of alienating russia? >> russia is a country with its own interests and will act in those interests. what's the way it is. russia will do that, as any powerful, regional power would do. so do we alienate them. that is the goal. that is probably as good a response as you can come up with. it's not sufficient. >> do you agree with that. >> it doesn't look as if the russians have been successful about delivering. their benefit as a partner for the u.s. has not been great, and on iran as well, it seems as if the u.s.-iranian relationship take over more as trying to use russia to

germany and france and people of my representative. and they signed agreement between the position and the power, that famous agreement. within which i would like to underscore, whether it's good orin this agreement yanukovych already handed his power over and he agreed to have election to the parliament and snap election to the president and changes to institution in 2014. he reacted positively to our requests and the western countries not to use force. no one gave orders to shoot the demonstrators, protesters. more over he gave order to remove all police force out of ukraine but these orders were not followed and he went to the meeting. as soon as he went there, the policy, instead of living those -- the administrative buildings, they seized the government. i'm trying to understand why it has been done, what this was done for, and everybody agrees with it. and all colleagues i talked to during the last days on the pho phone, what was the reason to act against the constitution? they still have the militants walking around. well, they wish to show off their force, their power but they achieved the opposite result. because with these actions they just shook east and southeast of u

germany for one year. i took about four years of french. i have been to france three or four times. values,k about it, the the things we teach our kids to get kids prepared for life, sometimes i think we have our priorities wrong. we have to make sure they have a handle literacy programs starting in grade school that build over time the same way math skills and finance skills, english skills tilde over time. so you are truly prepared to participate fully in our american democracy. i think that is something that stomps loss. it was the question that arne was asked the other day was perfectly appropriate. arne and i were working together 20 years or so ago. and sister sarah came up with the idea of creating a small public school on the southside of chicago. after a couple years up and running, we decided we needed to have a robust financial literacy program for the kids coming from often very disadvantaged backgrounds. this works perfectly with the president's mandate where he talks about the importance of financial literacy, in particular in disadvantaged communities. we created a pr

or municipal gallery again for. you don't know anything. and that's the principal art historical museum of germany. it is very, very weird. comment? >> let me just contrast that with francerance had the so-called collection which was essentially looted jewish art but they really made minimal efforts to locate the owners, but to their credit, much more recently and after the washington principles, what they did with their art is they signed it so they would say, for example, in fact there was a question of whether the jewish community should claim that art and have a museum of their own. and they said no. belongs to the french state if there is no error but what what they got was some history of what happened to it may stay from unknown jewish, but at least someone who sees a 100 years from now with seiji, you know, what was that all about, and will start looking at it. so it's very important even when art is so called airless art to identify where it came from. so to their credit the germans have a wonderful process. there are 40,000 so-called, i think it's called -- little risers outside the apartments of jews who were expelled with their names and the dates. and it's r

germany one year. i took about four years of french. i've been to france three or four times.and if you think about it, values, the things we teach to our kids to get prepared for life, i think sometimes we have our priorities wrong. we've had to make sure that they have a robust financial is a program starting in grade school that builds over time the same way math skills, science skills, english skills built over time. so your true prepared to participate fully in our american democracy. and i think that's something that is sometimes loss -- lost. i think it's why when arne was working, we working together 20 years or so ago, arne and sister sarah came over the idea of grading a small public school on the southside of chicago, and after a couple of years up and running, we decided we needed to have a robust financial literacy program for the kids who were coming from often very disadvantaged backgrounds. which this fits perfectly with the president's mandate when he talked about the importance of financial letters a and in particular in disadvantaged communities. we created

impact every time that we're putting in place additional drilling or indeed extraction why is fracking banned in countries like germany and france for instance. i would say that's because they've got governments that are. the forward thinking on the other hand i think what it is is that the governments that are very much concerned about the environmental impact they're also very much concerned about if we go down the path of developing shell gas that this is an opportunity cost where we're not really going to be putting energy into renewables or low carbon technologies but the french i suspect there's also an element of protection of nuclear here but nevertheless you know it's a very it's a very different feeling about how the public. feel that they see this new development of industry this extract of fossil fuel industry to be very much sort of watched and controlled so we know that in the u.s. . rising number of quakes like in states of texas and higher which scientists gas extraction do european politicians take things into account when making decisions about fracking. i think some of them tend to think that well this is the

fragile economy france would have to pass up a one billion euro deal to supply russia with two mistral helicopter carriers and for germany forty percent of its oil and gas comes from russia or the e.u. as a whole relies on gazprom for a third of its natural gas consumption well economics relations expert rayna linda told us that these are losses that the e.u. simply cannot afford. from the german business perspective we need of course what we call stability in the trade relations germany and russia relations of about seventy five billion euros last year i think this is going to be happen this year as well so we're not in favor of any sanctions what we see now from the brussels summit is that there are some sanctions or at least the negotiations are suspended for the reason liberalization that again hits people actually most and that's why i think we need to come back to diplomatic. negotiations to solve the problems to solve the crisis with russia and ukraine well the international monetary fund is considering an emergency loan for ukraine to save it from a default new leaders have said the country needs some thirty five billion dollars over the next two years to keep the e

or even federation. even in hungary you have 23% of people actually want the european federation of europe. in germany you have 25. even in france is 31. and then you add those go for -- for those who at least for the status quo, you have a 50% averaged and more of most citizens want this. so why? this is not in the party programs of both parties but why is this not articulated? there's a simple answer. the answer of churchill, the answer of the first present, when signing the nader thing of the american president truman said i hope this is just the preparation for european defense initiative, so all these great people were always convinced that should be the union. and what they had in the speeches is little little things. the nationstate, it can to our strategic on this comp if there's one big flaw in how the european system actually works is a nationstate that is the council but it's these overnight sessions would have who ever talking and give the solution, it's transparent to citizens cannot voice, so on and so forth. so that it is a very tricky and i don't go into details but look at european politics. 1.3 been said since
