press constitutional amendments through parliament that reduced the influence of brussels and affect hungary's post-communist institutions. the amendments affect the press and curb the independence of the central bank and justice system. eurozone finance ministers have approved a bailout for cyprus. ministers meeting in dublin signed off on a 10 billion euro package for the island country. >> 9 billion euros will be coming from the european union. 1 billion from the international monetary fund. at the same time, the ministers rejected reports that cyprus would be granted additional aid. the bailout still needs approval of eurozone member states. our brussels reporter sent us this wrap up of the finance ministers' meeting in dublin. >> i think the biggest news is that cyprus is ready. there were rumors that they might need more money and that there might be new negotiations, which would have caused a lot of chaos for the eurozone again, but this is obviously not the case, and they managed to calm down the situation, but the finance ministers also made clear that the share which the eurozone and

different than the soviet union invading czechoslovakia in one thousand nine hundred sixty eight or hungary in one nine hundred fifty six you know we have a double standard in the us and of course you know there's other aspects what what did he have to do with the torture that. you know the bush administration had with the where the british than that there are other questions that could be asked so i'm not sure that i don't think it will happen because the way the world is set up is we prosecute developing leaders or rebels for war crimes but we don't we can't do it for major powers because they have too much power in the system so i don't think it'll happen the question is should they be i don't think it's out of the realm of possibility that they probably morally and legally could be stephen ok weigh in on that just because they're powerful they can avoid the law but no i i do think that i mean i totally agree with the other commentator which is that what happened in iraq was a violation of the un charter the un never gave its sanction to that invasion so you know and then they sent along

stature as usual do we want to european laws to be stronger than national laws and i want to loot hungary decided to change the constitution so that it prioritizes national rights over european rights it's going to crush leave to democracy because again the sovereign people are now the ones deciding not the brussels technocrats well there are those that ask that if you are so against the e.u. why are you a member of the european parliament and in the interest of full disclosure of the e.u. parliament has released the amount of aid that went to various political parties about three hundred sixty thousand euros went to the european alliance for freedom of which you are a member. so notaro yes this is our money it's our money i want to say that this is the least move things madame flies dissipates and then repeat again because someone needs to tell the people of the branch people what is happening someone has to find a wealth tax in the system by being as fast as it is it and but when if i was trying to wanted from outside i would have less power when it comes to money that is granted from t

then i also visited hungary because i wanted to get to know some of the younger people, again, who were running businesses in that country. c-span: you wrote this in your book: "i am accused of not listening. my experience is that a group of men, sitting around a table, like little better than their own voices and that nothing is more distasteful than the possibility that a conclusion can be reached without all of the men having a chance to read from their briefs." >> guest: i couldn't stand just the reading from the briefs at all. you can always tell it. you can always tell when they have their own particular views. often they would come to a meeting, open their folders, and so often the civil servants were rather different from the politicians, and that shows how the minister deals with it. the good one won't read from his brief and will give you his own view. he might then say, "but i'm advised to do differently." c-span: at the end of your prime ministership, you talk in the book about how each of the ministers came to you. you saw them at what point -- where were you, and where did

different than the soviet union invading czechoslovakia in one thousand nine hundred sixty eight or hungary in one nine hundred fifty six you know we have a double standard in the us and of course you know there's other aspects what what did he have to do with the torture that. you know the bush administration had with the where the british involved and that there are other questions that could be asked so i'm not sure that.

swearing in of the country's president elect nicolas maduro is now a victory over an opposition rival hungary cake as has split the country wrong in the middle sparking large scale demonstrations. reports now from caracas first of all ready fifty four percent of the votes have been audited the day after the election so this is just completing it making it one hundred percent audit and the electoral committee had come out saying that it agreed to that it offered that to the opposition and we could be this is campbell who had been staunchly calling for first of all vote recount and an audit had come out and give it a press conference and said he accepts this offer also so he says they want to be part of the process essentially supervising this process but let's make a differentiation with the manual vote counting the counting the votes again one by one now this is being called justice the chief had already come out and said that this was not possible and said that anyone with thought this was possible had been deceived because the a system electoral system here is fully automated therefore a ma

my step mother fled communism in hungary after the second world war. and as mike mentioned, my stepfather is a survivor. and i grew up in part within and heard the stories. heard the experience. he is from poland. there were 900 children into school, and to our knowledge he is the only survivor of that school. but the reason i felt that it was important to be here is because this is a living institution, and it's a living institution in two ways. is a living institution because those who perished have a life, thanks to everything that the museum does. they are still with us, they are present, they animate us. but it's also a living institution because of the work that michael and his colleagues do in terms of a atrocity prevention. taking the story, the history, the remembrance and turning it into a tool, not only to remember the past so that we don't forget it, but to do something about the present. and that's why it's so vital and that's what i applaud what you and your colleagues are doing. and so it's good to be here. >> thank you, tony. i'm going

hungary '56, prague '67, poland, early '80s. soviet collapse of '90 -- '89-'91. and then, thanks to josh, raich spring. what we were -- arab spring. what we were able to do here through representatives in the field of amnesty international is get reports, a real simple thing i asked. go into a bookstore during arab spring where fromm is banned everywhere and see be they're reading him now -- if they're reading him now. okay. tunisia, tunis. there's a bookstore, the biggest in town across the street is the national police force, okay? after the revolt in tunisia, that bookstore is filled with fromm books. and this goes on. cairo, lebanon and so forth. now, they may be barred again, they're certainly not in syria now, but the point is here, even arab spring we're still getting that cycle. and finally and the last point of all in terms of legacy, fromm is part of a generation of the mid 20th century that has come across massive casualties of world war ii. a historian at yale, richard schneider, estimates we're talking about perhaps 80 million, 80 million. well, the

deal with there is no real conservative party in europe and my parents immigrated from communist hungary and there is still no liberal presence there is what makes us think there has to be a strong conservative party republican here? i am not sure how many views on the autopsy report it was jammed packed with painfully obvious things we already know some of the things they found that the republican party was scary and narrow minded and out of touch that sort of thing. [laughter] i used to think the same thing. [laughter] and the perception the g.o.p. does not care about the people doing great harm to the party. as practical politics go it is wonderful to care about people with good personal morality and passion is a good idea. but if the future of the republican party tries to out care democrats are emphasizing democrats are out promise the democrats than what is the point* of the republican party? you will always come in second place. i promise. that is scary we're losing the american people in the republican party wants to be more like the democratic party. not talking about immigratio

the last go is uzbekistan and hungary and iran.losest caches like mesko and chile, a big earthquake hit in the middle of the operation to move the nuclear material. oh, no. our government does this super secret spy work to get rid of loose nuclear material all over the world. the idea is stop the threat of nuclear terrorism, eliminate the possibility of a terrorist group stealing highly enriched uranium or plutonium or nuclear material in order to make a weapon. with this latest completion in the czech republic, the nsa says they will meet the president's goal of clearing out all the world's loose nuclear material by the end of the year, which is what he promised. joining us now for a reality check how positive our nuclear feeling should be about this is our nation's most plainspoken expert on this stuff, counsel on foreign relations and a global commission aimed at eliminating nuclear weapons. thank you for being here. >> my pleasure, rachel. you know my reaction. you heard it with the woo hoo. ham i being naive with this news tha

hungary has made that transition to democracy. and mcc, through mcc university, has brought countries like jordan to the fore to help others to understand how to make these compacts, how to make the trust grow between governments and their people. and so i, i think the best is when it's not really the united states government that's doing this. we've somehow incentivized -- >> it's leverage. >> it's leverage, it's leverage. >> twitter question, how does sustainable development enhance security, security of developing countries? well, we know that environmental stewardship is an extremely important part of stability, the management of resources whether it is water resources and clean water, whether it is clean air. in some of the places that one goes, you worry about health because people are breathing dirty air. and so the ability to make development rapid but with environmental stewardship so that you have sustainable development is a part of, a very important part of the picture. and, look, we've learned some tough lessons in so

there are more people in this country without documents than in hungary as hungarians. >> jose speaking about my homeland and really bringing it home. thank you so much. it's great to see you, jose. michael, we'll talk more about both guns and immigration in the days and weeks ahead. >>> as lawmakers juggle these critical issues, president obama is once again reaching out to republicans. last night he hosted his second closed door dinner with senate republicans in the past two months. a white house official called the meeting constructive. reportedly deficit reduction was discussed. so was immigration reform and gun control. in case you were wondering, the menu included a green salad, steak, and sauteed vegetables. as a trainer, i see a lot of people missing workouts because of sports injuries. runner's knee... ...it's right there. shin splints... ...it hurt right on this side. injuries like these can come from the pounding your feet take. but i found something that helps. dr. scholl's active series insoles with triple zone protection to help reduce pain from three sports injuries: runn

i remember going from one to another from holt -- poland and hungary and they said what gave you the courage to exist? what gave you the courage to become a hero? they answered he rose? not at all. one said if my neighbor was in danger how could i not offer myself? if a child is hungry in the street how could i not save him or her and i said to myself, in those times it was enough to become the human and a hero. my good friends, we are dying here. not for a hero but the messenger. president clinton 20 years ago here, in this place outside it was raining.

[laughter] it was soaked. i could not decipher a word. had i tried to remember what i had said it would have been a disaster. so i had to improvise a new one and that is when i turned to you, mr. president, and i spoke to you about yugoslavia, i had just come back from their.

in hungary as well as czech republic or slovakia. but if you look at what hat been achieved in separating czechoslovakia in a peaceful way, no one would have expected that would be possible, and now close friends, close friends. and even the former yugoslavia, after all this terrible war in the '90s, we have found the way to -- europe success story and it remains very complex, complicated. >> minister, we could keep you here all afternoon. we are enthralled. we're going to invite you back and hope you will come. thank you so much. join me in thanking the minister. [applause] >> i strongly urge you to come up with a number to tell this committee and the american people, we have a responsibility as well, and for you to say, well, we're just going to see how things turn out, it will determine the size of the post -- 2014 post office, i believe this is tragic and terrible mistake for which we may pay a very heavy price. >> senator, can i comment on that? >> sure. >> senator, to be clear, i didn't say to leave it complete he vague. we are

if china were to open the border, it would have the same effect to hungary had on the eve of the fallll. >> it seems like they may be losing a little bit of patience. i think there was a request for a special envoy they turned down. >> yeah. >> it's tricky to read the tea leaves with the new chinese leadership. >> they say -- well, chinese we know for this half century. they love korea so much they want there to be two of them. that has always been their basic strategy. they don't want a united korea. one of the things we could be saying to them is we will make sure if you let this go forward it will not be nuclear. chinese have been singularly unheavily. and i think sooner or later they have to step up and be stakeholders in a system benefiting them. they benefited from this time-out too. they have been able to look inward and deal with all their economic problems. putin in russia. born on third base, thought he hit a triple. sitting on all of this oil and gas. >> you need somebody to start your car for you. >> all of these guys have been irresponsible. >> i couldn't help when you we

the cardinal when he was imprisoned in hungary was a refugee before we had the refugee act, or if thesame thing occurred today, he could apply at the embassy not for asylum but for refugee status. in highly politicized cases of that sort, the united states government would be likely to grant special refuge. in fact, there was the chinese refugee who sought protection of the united states last year, and he is in the united states now. that are -- those are very high visibility, unusual cases. highly visible or celebrities, they have been persecuted as part of large groups who are being attacked by their own countries and refugee camps in some other country. host: donald from south bend, indiana, a democratic caller. comment is to you, this c-span host. whenever you have somebody like this past representative on, you should have somebody on to counter him, because some of the things he says are questionable. to the professor, i would like to ask -- i heard this past sunday on one of the sunday shows that the law that allowed this family of the boston bombers in has been tweaked such tha

not every country can be a visa waiver country, but israel needs to do tests better than hungary, withhe way nina, latvia, who were made waiver countries years ago. and ouruntry in europe, canadian neighbors to the north , have worked these out, and have given visa waiver status to israel. i hope that when israelis want to see mickey mouse, they come to disneyland or disney world, and not eurodisney. those shackles could be useful here. i want to commend the administration for the sanctions already imposed, but we have not shanks and -- sanctioned shipping companies used by the national guard core. we have not sanctioned russia's metal dealers that are helping iran invade sanctions. i would hope that you would instruct your staff to focus on those sanctions. likewise, we have issued an exemption to chinese financial institutions doing transactions with the central bank of iran, citing a reduction in chinese purchases of iranian oil. i hope you would furnish, for the record, what significant reductions there have been in chinese purchases of iranian oil, and also furnish the statistics

if you go to the eastern part of germany today or hungary or poland or those places, and ask them whythe berlin wall came down, they are puzzled and stunned and a little offended at the idea they were following reagan's instructions. when they did this. their view is it was their own grassroots democratic movement that led to the liberation of eastern europe from soviet control. i think most soviet experts and historians today think the soviet union collapsed partly from it own, what we used to call, internal contradictions, economic failures, military adventures, and also gorbachev. the soviet union probably could have been going for a long time if it wasn't for gorbachev who was determined to demom contract ties politics and bring private initiative to the economy, and reagan realized that. you don't find out about this at the reagan library but reagan met with gorbachev at reykjavik, famously, and the two almost agreed to nuclear disarmament. the reaganites in the defense department were horrified by this and put a stop to it but reagan didn't go all the way with reaganism when he
