he worked closely with the democratic leaders when he was the minority leader. and so there was almost a seamless transition to it. and i think everyone who worked here at the time breathed a great sigh of relief knowing that howard baker was coming in as the majority leader. he had a great sense of humor. he was a problem solver. when the white house got in trouble at the time of the iran continue are a they brought in the chief of staff for ronald reagan. he also had a great sense of real estate. and traditionally the democrats had a nice big office and the republicans had a slower office down the hall. senator baker said i will not change with the democrat eck leader, but i would like to add to my suite. so he took over quite a bit of territory, rooms immediately around him. so the republican leader now had a very large coherent section of rooms on the west bank of the capitol thanks to howard baker. the main room is now known as the howard baker room. >> bob dole was a fighting partisan. he was the person who could debate ferociously. and in the senate, that

he worked closely with democratic leaders when he was a minority leader. almost the same as transition to it and i think everyone breathed a sigh of relief knowing that howard baker was coming in as the majority leader. he had a great sense of humor. he was the type of person that grass what was going on. he was a problem solver. when the white house got into trouble at the time of the iran-contra, he was chief of staff for ronald reagan's. he had a great sense of -- republicans had a smaller office down the hall. senator baker said i will not change with the democratic leader but i would like to add to my sweet. so he took over quite a bit of territory. the republican leader now is very large section of rooms on the west front of the capital thanks to howard baker. the main room is now known as the howard baker room. senator bob dole came up from the house of representatives as a fighting partisan. he had been a chairman of his party. he was a kind of person who could debate ferociously, and in the senate, he turned into a wise pragmatist. he realize that

he worked closely with the democratic leaders when he was the minority leader. and so there was almost a seamless transition to it. and i think everyone who worked here at the time breathed a great sigh of relief knowing that howard baker was coming in as the majority leader. he had a great sense of humor. he was the type of person who grasps what is going on and can figure out what to do about it. he was a problem solver. when the white house got in trouble at the time of the iran contra, they brought in the chief of staff for ronald reagan. he also had a great sense of real estate. and traditionally the democrats had a nice big office next to the chamber and the republicans had a smaller office down the hall. senator baker said, i will not change with the democratic leader, but i would like to add to my suite. so he took over quite a bit of territory, rooms, immediately around him. so the republican leader now had a very large coherent section of rooms on the west bank of the capitol thanks to howard baker. the main room is now known as the howard baker room.

as he was saying a lot of leaders came to paris.y have been gathering in solidarity for these killed in paris. in london tower bridge was lit up in colors of the french national flag. people gathered in trafalgar square to pay trib beauty and held up pens and pencils as a sign of unity. >> the spanish community condemned attacks with a demonstrate in madrid. many people holding signs expressing their disagreement with radicalism. 18,000 people gathered in front of the french embassy carrying pencils and signs saying "i am charlie." in moscow people participated in a silent march in gorky park to express sport. some gathered outside the french embassy where they lit candles and made flowers in honor of the victims in france. around europe around 200 protesters gathered in the lebanese capitol carrying signs, "we are not afraid and je sui akmed t referring to the name of the muslim policemen who was killed in the "charlie hebdo" attack. >> more coverage on the day of solidarity with france. plus we will have the latest on the new vide

leader in 1995-96. on those occasions the majority and in the minority he was the kind of person who worked out difficult arrangements. he also had a terrific sense of humor. he was wonderful to listen to. he enjoyed the history of it. he used to give historical minutes at the beginning of each day and the bicentennial, he published senator dole's historical almanac. and he got a great chuckle out of doing the. always wanted more. so the historical office was always working very close with. >> george mitchell. >> george mitchell, you know if you just watched him, he looked very professorial. he looked very benign. he looked very calm and very mild-mannered. but if you talked to the senators they all said this is a very tough politician. this is a person who knows what's going on, it was really scheduling and planning things and he was a very effective leader. but he was just sort of the opposite of what he appeared to be, sort of a detached person but he was not detached at all. he was very much focused

no mention of the majority leader or minority leader. the constitution did not anticipate political parties. i think they thought they were going to happen, but they did not want to encourage political parties. they made no provision for it. we had no majority leader in the history of the senate. there were chairman of committees who would take care of things and the chairman of the party conferences that open up and close things the way they do today. but nobody sitting down there trying to organize what happened on the floor on a daily basis. that changed in 1913 when woodrow wilson was elected president. he was former president of princeton university. he had a phd in history and political science. he had written his doctoral information about congress. he had strong ideas about how congress ought to operate and had an ambitious legislative agenda. he prevailed on the democrat parties. he had come in the majority to pick one of their senators to be a leader, the person who could take charge of things on the floor. instead of going to

you have leaders from russia, as well. there are some gulf leaders walking by. russia's foreign minister, sergey lavrov in attendance, as well as i believe leaders or representatives from ukraine have also flown into paris to stand alongside the president hollande. right now they are taking the first steps to march off into that rally that's meant to commence any moment now, in the heart of paris showing solidarity sending a message that they all stand together in the wake of the attacks earlier last week that took place in paris and in suburbs of paris. there's the palestinian authority president mahmoud abbas. we'll cross over now to speak to our reporter. we'll keep an eye on paris. the rally expected to kick off any moment now tell us what's going on in marseille. >> well, like you mentioned a show of unity show of solidarity people here, as well are gathering next to marseille port as a show of defiance to show the world we are a strong, united country. people have telling us a lot of condemnation of the recent killings in paris but clearly behind the sloga

to the newcomer the majority leader coming to the minority leader's office. the first time it happened, i wondered if it might be a psychological trick to throw me off balance. [laughter] i quickly realized it was one more demonstration of bob dole's grace and humility. sure enough sign he did not need the trappings of office. but i must say i later learned it was in coming to my office he could always determine when the meeting was over. [laughter] that is a smart leader. he is more than just a man. for me, he continues to be a living, breathing, lesson -- reading lesson in leadership. it was an honor to serve with him and it is an honor now to welcome him back home. [applause] >> well done, my colleague. you certainly speak for so many colleagues here tonight that have served with bob dole and others that cannot be with us. before i introduce bob represent him, -- or present him because he does not need any introduction to this group, i think it is important i recognize one of his truly greatest assets, some would say clearly his greatest asset a lady that

he would go to the meetings when he was a majority leader. one night they had a big argument about lightbulbs and he sat through the whole thing. and the preacher asked him the next week, senator baker why did you sit through that whole argument about lightbulbs? he said well, i could have pulled out my wallet and bought the lightbulbs but i thought it was important for the session of elders to all have their say, talking all the way through to the end so they'd be comfortable with voting on a decision. and that's the way he looked at the senate. >> senator lamar alexander, thank you very much. >> thank you. . . >> my colleagues thank you for being here this afternoon. senator baker. we come this evening in this stately and formal old senate chamber, our convocation has the light spirit of a family reunion. it's a thrill to me to see the way our colleagues react to senator baker on both sides of the aisle. and even some that could not be here tonight made a special point of coming by to speak to senator baker. tonight we welcome a second in t

as well, the world leaders and politicians walking with linked arms, as well. a tacit understanding that although these attacks had in france, they could equally well have happened in another city in another country. >> jacki the crowd has been chanting something. let's just listen to the noise of the crowd for a second. >> the crowds chance various different slogans. one that has become very familiar in recent days, "i am charlie," the idea of people identifying themselves with that newspaper, which is ironic, because it was not a mass circulation magazine. many while deplore the attacks and bloodshed actually say i wasn't subscribed to charlie hebdo. i didn't read it. that i thought the caricatures were in poor taste but what people are saying here is the idea of aligning themselves with the right for any individual person in france to freely express their opinions, the idea that express is free, that the media should be free and that no one should feel cowed into silence by someone threatening them with physical violence. when we say that, also other slogans

the leaders are there in the front line. they will be leaving the effort to commemorate the victims of this week's attack. let me turn to our european affairs editor. what are your thoughts when you are seeing european leaders shouldered to shoulder? >> many of them are coming from predominately was the countries and there is a very strong message from them that what happened has nothing to do with islam or religion. these individuals who perpetrated these attacks are just criminals, has the reaction. it is just unprecedented stop this is the second time since the end of the second world war we have seen a french president who takes part in a public demonstration. the last time was in 1919, when he marched with a number of french people promoting the desegregation of the jewish cemeteries in your. -- in europe. look who we see their. -- see there. the leaders of the biggest countries, germany, spain, italy. and now they are starting to march. >> they are starting to march. a very powerful image as religious leaders and repre

he has been both the majority leader and the minority leader. he has been our president pro tempore and he has chaired our committee on appropriations. what he has brought to those positions has been more than hard work--although there has been plenty of that--and high skills. he has brought a passion for procedures, an insistence upon order. just this week, or maybe it was late last week, he found that maybe i had cut a corner a little bit in the way i asked for a unanimous consent. he noted it, reserved it, and suggested i take another look at it. certainly, i did and i will comply. within the senate family--and we are a family in so many ways--we know him as defender of both the senate rules and its prerogatives, not as ends in them themselves, but as a means by which the senate preserves the constitutional system that we have sworn to uphold. on occasion, he has regaled the senate with a discourse on antiquity, and more specifically, the history of greece and rome. yes, when senator byrd speaks, we actually come out of the cloakroom and our

and to mention of majority leader or minority leader.stitution did not anticipate political parties. they thought it was probably going to happen but they didn't want to encourage political parties so they make no provision for it. and for most of the history of the senate we had no majority leader from 1789 until 1913 there was no majority leader of the senate. there were chairman of committees who would sort of take care of things on the floor. there were chairman of the party conferences and open things up and close things the way they do today but nobody sitting down there in the front row center seat trying to organize what happened on the floor on a daily basis and that changed in 1913 when woodrow wilson was elected president. he was a former president of princeton university. he had a phd in history and political science. he written his doctoral dissertation about congress. he had very strong ideas about how congress ought to operate and he also had a very ambitious legislative agenda. so prevailed on democrats who had just come

you cannot declare yourself to be a leader. the other person has to see you are leader. people will call someone a leader if they feel like, as a result, their lives were improved. if leadership is about making other people's lives better. >> what is the art of inspiration so that people want to follow? >> people want to know you are authentic that you come from a place where what you are saying is something you deeply believe. people will follow someone who is authentic. they follow someone with a moral compass. they want to know what drives you is not just your own personal ambition, but a protocol or greater purpose. people expect of leaders that they have a way of simplifying complexity in the world and finding a way to head true north. they want to know what true north looks like. they want someone who has a simple believable, authentic view of the world. >> it is interesting to me leaders that word admired the most, they were able to articulate the mission. and what your significance was to it. so that you were there for service and ownership. >> one of the things

>> i am always suspicious of hoping and looking for the proverbial good leader.the notion that things will get solved if we only had better people. is the work force instructive that defines who gets interested in this, who gets the call who wants to run for congress and be a senator or congressperson does are the forces that are far more powerful. so rather than looking for hoping that we can get good leaders out of some process i would look at the structure of incentives that determines who gets interested who is willing to spend his or her life in congress and what does it take for that person once he or she decides to run to really make it quick >> host: you mention in the buck that of book that of the decline of power is opening up more opportunities for bad leaders to get some foothold. is that even though we can't search for the mythical great leader do you think that is still true that we do have more bad options? >> guest: i refer to the call that has been out for a while that's important and that is the concept of the signifier is the leader that comes

there is one leader president of united states with those policy offices and if the leader is anxious not terrified of life than this since they constantly think what can go wrong what is the way the american people might be adversely affected that is great it is like a seat belt or a safety valve with that virtue level of the anxiety if you have someone who was complacent in they can be winning and charismatic there is a tendency in the corporate world to win engaged in happy talk win talking to the boss you want to put in the boss's shoulder they have enough to worry about. mosque that is a much easier exchange. then how to sort them out to a boss may think solve the problem. i have a bunch of my own. so the complaisant person will look more like a team player and often more like the person who has everything under control. the anxious person or leader should not be full of despair but thinking all the time it would redoing to reduce the risk? >> it of so what about the individual movies? >> but to be refined unify well speculate for a leader to have a degree of anxiety not in the w

leaders must lead. and one way is to create an attitude of success, to believe that problems can be solved, the conviction that things can be better. not any foolish or unrealistic way, but in a way that creates hope and confidence among the people. a second need in conflicts is a clear and determined policy not to yield to violence. over and over, the men of violence tried to destroy the peace process in northern ireland. at times, they nearly succeeded. at every critical moment, there were murders and bombings whose purpose was to end the peace process. last july, three young catholic boys were burned to death as they slept in their beds. in august, a devastating bomb killed 29 people and injured 300, protestant and catholic alike. these were acts of appalling ignorance and hatred. they must be totally condemned. but to succumb to the temptation to retaliate would have given the criminals what they want -- escalating sectarian violence and the end of the peace process. the way to respond to such atroc

can you imagine more than 50 were leaders __ it is absolutely clear that a number of socialist leadersa number of centerleft politicians, are increasingly uncomfortable and working with him. what the leader said is that it is not the case, they were indeed invited. and that maybe she is being exploited for political purposes. >> and john, i just want to turn with you before we go. there is so much issues, obviously, to doctor and discuss azriel looking through these pictures from the center of paris. i want to ask you about france's secular traditions. the state is supposed to be completely detached from religion. that is one of the fundamental parts. is that a company getting factor, when it comes to this being of different religious communities and bringing everyone onto the same page? >> it doesn't have to be at all. i think the best way to understand it is __ is no preference for one religion over another. an absence of religion from the public sphere, but at the same time, efforts from the states __ what we would call voluntary efforts __ to make sure that those members of religio

we did see some of the political leaders, the world leaders, as well as french politicians come together. there's francois hollande. >> we'll ever much more with the al jazeera news hour. just stay with us. that. >> yes hello welcome to the news hour and our extended coverage of those marchs in france. i'm here in doha. coming up over the next 60 minutes, hundreds of thousands of people are on the streets of france to show that they are united despite three days of terror. >> dozens of world leaders are also there showing support from europe to africa, the middle east and the americas. >> a simple message the pen is mighteer than the sword. the crowd honoring the

he's been both the majority leader and the minority leader. he's been our president pro tem and he's chaired the committee on appropriations. what he has brought to those positions has been more than hard work although there's been be plenty of that. and high skills. he brought a passion. this week -- maybe last week, he found out that i cut a corner a little bit in the way i asked for unanimous consent. and noted it, preserved it, and said that i should take another look at it. certainly i did. i will comply. within the senate family, we are a family in some way, we know him as the rules and the prerogatives, not as an ends themselves themselves but a means the senate preserves the constitutional system that we have sworn to uphold. on occasion, he's regaled the senate with a discourse on antiquity, and more specifically, the history of greece and rome. yes, when we speak, we come out of the cloakrooms and come from our offices and sit and listen enthralled to the history that he knows that he quotes from memory. in today's world where everyt

senator baker became the republican leader when senator byrd became the democratic leader. they worked together. they got the panama canal treaty passed together. senator baker had to face senator byrd. he said, he went up to senator byrd the other day and said, i'm going to make a deal. i won't surprise you if you don't surprise me. byrd said let me think about that. at the end of the day, byrd came back and said, i agree. that was the working relationship. they did not blind side each other. that kind of cooperation helped make the senate work. even when they were fighting they did it i the rules and they respected each other as colleagues. >> donald richie, thank you very much. >> my pleasure. >> at about 20 minutes, we continue our look at the visitor role of the senate majority leader with a lecture from robert byrd of virginia. first, the conversation from 2010 was senator mitch mcconnell, the incoming senate majority leader for the 114th congress, which convenes in january 6. he talks about the history and traditions of the united states senate. >> senator mcconnell,

in the end you can't decrair yourself a leader, the other person says you're a leader. usually a person will call a person a leader if what that person did left their lives improved. so leadership in the end is about making people's lives better. >> charlie: what's the art of inspiration so that people want to follow? >> people want to know that you're authentic, that you come from a place where what you are saying is something you deeply believe in. i think people will follow someone who is authentic, who has a clear moral compass. they want to know that what drives you is not just your own personal ambition but a greater purpose. people expect of leaders that they have a way of simplifying the complexity in the world and finding a way to head true north. they want to know what true north looks like. my sense is people in the world want someone who has a simple believable, authentic view of the world which they feel will allow their lives to have get better. >> charlie: always seemed to me the leaders i've admired the most, they were able to articulate the mission. >>

now the houthis including leader senior leaders within the movement, say while the new peace and partnership agreement is a new reality and what we signed before something different, and that's why based on that, i think the houthi leader abdel minik al houthi, stated this is a new reality and the new houthi revolution will only continue. i think the u.n. at some point will have to come out and give a statement in regards where they stand with what the houthis have mentioned darren. >> just a final thought from you omar. the houthi leader says he plans to move into the oil rich state of mareb. what do the yemenis think of that? is this a wider paragraph perhaps? >> that the houthis are populating according to a plan and in that plan they want to extend their grip and their control on province of mareb. it is rich and where most of yemen's oil is exported. it is also rich with gas. with the houthis portraying this resolution quote unquote is to confront al qaeda and al qaeda presence in different areas. and that's why the leader on saturday said he fears mareb will fall into the leader, the s

egypt's leader urges an end to terrorism. they write about a speech given by the egyptian president recently to a bunch of islamic leaders. this was a cairo university. that is on the front page of "the new york times." this is breaking news this morning on twitter. the secretary of state was in india yesterday and arrived in pakistan on announced for a counter terrorism visit. that is happening now. john kerry is in india because the president is traveling there. the secretary of state a head of that visit. he is working with indian officials and talking about business ties and that upcoming meeting for the president. right is in virginia. go ahead. caller: my feeling is that they should -- the people that stood up in paris should have done that. we can't stop all the terrorism that's going on around the world. we could have another type of 9/11 attack. all these leaders, it's great. you don't have the united states'presence. our president should have done more than sent condolences. he should have sent a representative. hos

digging deeper into leaders it seems clear that if you are a leader of a group you want to get the best of everyone in that group and in that meeting and yet you say it's actually very unusual for leaders to create a climate where that happens. why is that? is it because leaders tend to be optimistic or are there other forces going on? >> guest: on the anxiety complacency scale it's important to emphasize that a kind of yes we can headline, that's good. so for a religious organization is trying to grow and help people or a charity or a nonprofit, to think that this is going to work. that's probably an indispensable foundation. at the same time you are thinking what can go wrong. in terms of leaders here's the risk. if the leader indicates a firm view at the outset that this is risk number one that can squelch the creativity and innovation as well as the mix that you want in your group. so if you have a leader who is superb but it is declarative or early on that can be very bad in terms of eliciting information. one of our most successful presidents whether you like his politics or his p

devalue it and your effectiveness as a senate leader is over. and always get the bad news out first. twelve -- be patient. the senate was conceived by america's founders as "the saucer into which the nation's passions are poured to cool." let senators have their say. bide your time. i worked for 18 years to get television in the senate, and the first camera was not turned on until after i left. but patience and persistence have their reward. it is better to let a few important things be your legacy than to boast of a thousand bills that have no lasting significance. thirteen -- the baker's dozen. be civil, and encourage others to do likewise. many of you have heard me speak on the need for greater civility in our political discourse. my friends, i have been making that speech since late into the 1960's, when america turned into an armed battleground over the issues of civil rights and vietnam. having seen political passion erupt into physical violence, i do not share the view of those who say that politics today are meaner or more debased than e

the president pro tempore: minority leader the majority leader. mr. mcconnell: today is an important day for our country. many senators took the oath this afternoon, 13 for the first time and a new republican majority accepted its new responsibility. we recognize the enormity of the task before us, we know a lot of hard work awaits, we know many important opportunities await as well. i'm really optimistic about what we can accomplish, but but i'll have much more to say about that tomorrow. for now i just want to welcome back all of our returning members, i want to congratulate the many new ones, and i want to say a word about our colleague from nevada, senator reid is a former boxer he's tough, i know he'll be back in fighting form soon enough. we all wish him a speedy recovery and i wish is very best to all of you. enjoy the ceremonies tomorrow -- today, and tomorrow it's back to work. i yield the floor. mr. durbin: mr. president? the majoritythe president pro tempore: the minority leader. mr. durbin: i'm happy to report senator reid is making a spee

many, many other leaders. palestinian leader mahmoud abbas. joining arms and marching through the streets together. now you're looking live at the grand synagogue in paris, the largest, i believe, in france, where leaders have gone together in unity to sit and to reflect and to speak and to listen. candles there lit for all of the innocent victims of the attacks, the various attacks in paris this week. and it's an unusual sight. this synagogue was closed down for a couple of days. didn't operate for the first time since world war ii because of the events and threats as they were playing out in paris inspect. now people of different faiths and backgrounds gathering there to show unity protection for the community and standing for all victims, regardless of faith and background, those who are being attacked by extremists, who interestingly enough, we know that the first police officer, the french police officer who responded to the charlie hebdo killings was a muslim man. his family says he was proud to represent freedom. and they say the people

today i want to make a personal invitation to speaker boehner, leader pelosi, majority leader mcconnell and minority leader reid as well as every member of congress. make it a goal to come to indian country this year. this week several members of congress and several representatives of the administration will visit the navajo nation. let's make that visit the beginning of the year of unprecedented engagement between tribal nations and our federal partners. among all the gains in recent years, we've also suffered some losses. of of of of of of of of close to my heart and to many across indian country was the loss of my friend and mentor. he was not only a native-american hero but he was an american hero. billy frank junior. billy, like me was from the pacific northwest. his people the nas call withy nation are fishing people like my people. at age 14, billy was arrested for exercising his treaty rights by fishing the nasquale river. as billy simply put it, he wasn't a policy guy, he was a getting-arrested guy. over the years billy was arrested more than 50 times for exercising his treaty

president obama was not with the other leaders you saw. holder was the highest ranking off fish chals it is said in paris. they did not participate in march where they were linked arm in arm. peter, what is the white house saying about the president? >> we asked the white house they say the security that goes along with the visits by the president or vice president. today's march wasn't all about them. the white house is also pointing out this evening that the president has made public statement supporting the french in the last few days. his official tells us the u.s. ambassador to france jane hartley attended the march. attorney general eric holder was in paris for meetings didn't go to the bill rally he did however appear on five different sunday morning talk shows explaining in the united states authorities are keeping tabbing on potential terrorists and they are doing so without stereotyping. >> we are doing i think a good job monitoring those people. i say monitoring in an appropriate way using legitimate tools. we are not stereotypi

when h was t minority leader. so thereçó was almos a seamlessraition to it. and i think everyone who worked up here at the tereax"d a great sigh of reli knowing that howard baker was coming in as the majority leader. he h a greñr sense of humor he was, heas t type of personho sort otó grasped what was going on a y particar timend couldigure ou what to do about it. he was a problemçó solr. not rprisingly when the white house got into trouble about the time of the iran contra scandal they brought howard baker in the chief staffor president ronald reagan. acy for those reasons. he als had a great seasons of real estate. and traditionally, the democrats had a nice big office next to the senate chamber, and the republicanhad much smaller office down thhall. and senator baker said i will nothange with the democratic leader but i would likeo add to suit soe took over quite a bit territory, rooms immediately around -- so the republican leader now has a very lar coherent section of rooms on the west fnt of the capitol than

but when you dig deeper and see it, digging deeper into the leaders have seems clear if you are the leader of a group you want to get the best of everyone's brain in that group in that meeting. and yet you say that it's actually very unusual for the leaders to create a climate where that happens. why is divisive because they tended to be optimistic or are there other forces going on? >> guest: on the countries of the scale it is important to emphasize a kind of yes we can headline. that's good. so for a religious organization that is trying to grow and help people or the charity or nonprofit to think that this is going to work is probably an indispensable foundation and at the same time that you are thinking what can go wrong in terms of leaders, here is the risk. if a leader indicates a view that is risk number one that can squelch creativity and innovation as well as the mixed verdicts that you want of your group. so if you have a leader that is declared early on that can be bad in eliciting information. so. he was given a sense that they agreed with him early on even if they had opposin

at the front, world leaders around the globe.rack obama or any member of his administration. is this as bad as it looks? we'll talk about that next. >>> it is lasting image of unity in paris, world leaders arm in arm. no president obama, nomo jo biden or secretary of state john kerry. >> it says yes you let the world dow up and talking about president obama. did the administration really drop the ball or is this just a missed photo-op. hali gorani is in paris and the others. good morning to you all. i want to start with you all. officials here in the united states say security was an issue. would it have been a huge obstacle that the president could not overcome to go to france and be safe? >> i can't talk to the specifics of how security is organized around world leaders. one has to assume just a few days after two terrible terrorist attacks, at the best of times it's difficult to organize this type of world leader summit such as the one we saw sunday even though it was only a march with no speeches. we are hearing the israeli p

so that even though japan is our ally our leaders will spend more time talking to chinese leaders, becauseit's so important to try to work to resolve those problems. >> japanese prime minister abe and china's president xi jinping, have their first official meeting last november in beijing. in both nations, this was seen as a positive first step to ease tensions. but vogel thinks improving the relations will take time. >> i do not expect that the improvement will go very far until japan acknowledges more clearly the problem of historical recognition, and i think in the chinese case that as long as they have tensions among leaders, it will be easy for them to blame an outside country. and therefore i don't -- i wish our relations would get better very quickly. but i don't expect that that will be the case. >> people in hong kong saw large-scale demonstrations last year. they are demanding a democratic elections with the territory chooses its chief executive in 2017. but chinese leaders refused to back down or compromise. i asked vogel if he foresees any change in beijing's political system i

we were walking hand in hand jewish leaders, christian leaders, arab leaders and, of course, politicians walking it, sending the strong message of not just solidarity, but je suis charlie. my grandfather, the chief rabbi and the director of the jewish school, which is still operating. the message that we heard from the family that we heard last night. says you need to be proud jews. you have always wanted jews to be able to keep up with -- it is traditional to do in france. muslim and islamic countries and today, and should be able to be able to have lunch, breakfast, and dinner with his wife and children in a restaurant in place de republique nearby or without any fears. >> tell me, do you think this type of march, this huge turnout will bring communities together in the wake of this tragedy of these attacks? >> it's unity today in france. the prime minister has said it and it's been said by everybody when the jewish attack, the republicans attack. it's not a problem of jewish, arabs, christians, it's the jewish society and the french are targets and it's something as a nation shows tod

it is not like other western leaders are doing a lot better. that is is stated by the french prime minister differed have a statement the day before by french president hollande. the question going forward in response to the attack what will the western countries do? will they change their policies or begin to take it more seriously as a war or was this a act of political symbolism yesterday. >> what do you make of the fact that we didn't have a representative 3 million people marching arm and arm in solidarity. 40 world leaders there. we had a representative there in paris who didn't go to this. what do you make of that? >> why attorney general eric holder didn't go is beyond me. he was there with a meeting for other justice of interior meetings. i don't think it makes any difference whether the president or vice president went. there are obviously security concerns here. the real question is not the symbolic importance of the march yesterday but whether anything changes. france announced they will deploy military assets inside france to prote
