though language, culture and religion may divide kosovo and other former yugoslavian countries, theyr this ubiquitous fruit brandy. everywhere we went there was raki — a judge's party, a lingerie shop, even a monastery. monks here produced wine since the 14th century. what makes it good? taste it and you tell me what you think about it. for nearly 700 years, wine and rakija helped support the serbian monks. here it has to be soft, but here it is to be strong. i imagine this can get you through a pretty rough balkan winter. and a nice balkan summer! as we toasted, i couldn't help but wonder how often a serb and albanian kosovar actually shared a drink these days. you guys seem pretty peaceful right now. we grew up in the same country. his friends needed more rakija for his bar. let's go. so we headed to his producer's house. a town renowned for its rich soil and production of rakija wine. here, we got a lesson in home—made distillation. we were greeted in typical kosovar fashion, with a warm handshake, something to drink and far too much food, which was quite literally farm to table.

. >> one of the things i remember when i was in kosovo with care in 1999 and 2001 were huge refugee campswith thousands of people in them. and they were clean, and they were well-organized, and it was a great structure for people who had no place to go. but that is completely different now with this group of refugees. the model is changing. >> the model is changing. there still are camps, and care is active in supporting those camps, but 80% of the refugees are actually living outside of the camps. they're living in local communities. and you can imagine the responsibility that this brings to a country like jordan, where 1 out of every 10 people living in jordan now is a refugee. in lebanon, it's one out of every four. so it would be the equivalent, for instance, in jordan, if 32 million people from canada came into the united states. so we need to think about how are we providing the support to enable these people -- most of whom actually want to stay in that region -- to, again, have the capacity to rebuild their lives there. >> because of the paris attacks, a lot of people -- not every

we projected stability beyond our borders and in conflicts in the balkans, kosovo, bosnia, fighting terrorismtan and we are adapting again. responding to a more assertive russia in the east. how do you adapt to a us president who believes nato to be obsolete? what i will tell him and what i already told him is that nato is changing because the world is changing. when i spoke to him, he was very committed to nato. he expressed a strong support to nato. i look forward to working with him in continuing to adapt to nato because i don't see any contradiction between saying that nato is important but at the same time saying that nato has to change, nato has to... i understand but let's engage with what he has actually said to the times newspaperjust a few days ago he said that in his new nato had become obsolete. i'm just wondering how you reacted to that. well, i will continue to tell the story about nato and an alliance which has proven, for almost 70 years, able to change when the world is changing. sure... then i will sit down with him and discuss concrete measures, concrete issues where we can

he felt he had to intervene, i think, example, in kosovo.leone. i think it is a more formal policy, but in iraq, he would have said he was not interested in trying to change the regime per se, but to impose the un's will through many resolutions that had been passed. so i think it is possible to make the distinction appear more profound thanit distinction appear more profound than it really is. i go back to what isaid. prime than it really is. i go back to what i said. prime minister is find real life very difficult. what are you going to do in afghanistan, for instance, after 9/11, if there is a rogue regime that is our bring terrorists tee to take action or not? we hope mrs may will not be faced with a dilemma like this. but alongside that commitment, she herself is saying that there may be moments when very difficult decisions must be taken by our elected political leaders. and on issues like nato and the use of torture and so on, how willing, how open to listening do you think donald trump will be? how willing do you think you might be t

i'm a former refugee from kosovo, now a u.s. citizen. i want to ask a question about the refugees in the world, which is the largest number since world war ii. perhaps more, given climate change in conflicts around the world. on whatthe perspective this country should be doing with refugees, and what worries you most leaving the office? what will you lose sleep over, not because of this administration, but where the world is today? yeah.ary kerry: what worries me most is i won't be there. [laughter] judy: you mean because nobody else can do the job? i'm just kerry: no, joking. i'm just joking, honestly. no, that's the other thing you learn in life and this business. dore's other people who can every job. it's a good thing to learn. i believe the answer to your found in whatrtly i decided about a year and half, two years ago. we had just written our whatever number of check to cover the cost of refugees in syria. we are the largest donor. the united states of america is probably the largest donor in the world to the global challenge of re

after that, we went to the balkans, kosovo ending conflicts there. afghanistan and africa. now nato is coming back to europe, we are seeing a strengthening russia. so a successful nato is we have always been able to adapt. the president-elect is focused on the importance of europeans paying more. i totally agree with him. i welcome the fact that european allies have now started to increase defend spending. >> but more is needed. >> there's a long way to go. but after many years of decline of defense spending in canada and europe, the trend has shifted. we are seeing increased defense spending in europe. that's a movement in the right direction. i think i look very much forward to working with donald trump on pushing that forward. >> but you disagree with the obsolete word? >> the important thing now, is that we come together, to sit together with the new president. we'll have a summit in brussels where the president will come. we can sit there together around the table and agree how to continue to modernize and strengthenize na iznate to. >> the defense minister yesterday s

[video clip] >> not a muslim ban. it is working out nicely. you see at the airports and all over. we will have a very strict ban, and we will have extreme vetting, which we should have had in this country for many years. host: the president yesterday in the oval office spending time speaking to world leaders, including a call that lasted about one hour in the afternoon with putin of russia. back to your calls on this refugee ban. cbs news calling it confusion and chaos. nnie on the republican line, good morning. caller: good morning how was the. -- good morning, steve. happy new year. looks like we have pennsylvania day today. the third caller out of issued. -- the chute. host: we love pennsylvania.

is serbia up to the border of kosovo. it turned around, but as a result, troops and security forces were reportedly scrambled to the border from both sides. now, i'm not suggesting that all of these bad things happened because donald trump was inaugurated. i think -- i listened to my colleagues explain all of the world's troubles for eight years through the lens of responsibility to the obama administration, but this is all an advertisement for a very simple idea, that this is probably the absolute worst time to have the first american president with no government experience and no diplomatic experience pick the first secretary of state with no government experience and no diplomatic experience. this is not the moment for on-the-job learning. and yet, that's what we have so far. granted, mr. tillerson is not in place, but president trump's foreign policy up to this point has been tragically amateurish. witness the invitation for the mexican leader to come to the white house, worked out in painstaking detail and opportunit
