and at loggerheads with russia over iran.o, the country that probably would really like to see lower world oil prices to squeeze russia is saudi arabia. i think if the united states were to take this step, the saudis would quietly say thank you, they might even boost their own production a little bit. for once, the united states has taken a step that they really approve of. they are very unhappy with us since we refused to bomb syria after syria used the chemical weapons. this would strengthen our hand with the saudis. >> the thing saudi arabia would have the ability to be the -- to do this -- do you think saudi arabia would have the ability to do this on its own, to put the squeeze on russia? >> the saudis don't ramp up their production directly. they said discounts or premiums to world prices when they sell their oil. they can go out and offer more oil at larger discounts to their buyers. we may hear that in the first week of april, to help do this. i think that the saudi's would really like -- the saudis would really like

we are still at loggerheads over this. the only thing i can do as a journalist is put it out there. tavis: let me make you feel a little better now. by hitting you in your sweet spot. you'd revel the world. what is the true line for what you saw? sum of theo really most remote places that a person can get to. everywhere that i was going, i was going with scientists. everywhere that we were going, people were looking at human impact. greate cases, on the barrier reef it was with scientists who were studying the impact of our carbon emissions on the ocean. what is sometimes called global warming's equally evil twin is that a lot of our carbon admissions are ending up in the oceans and changing ocean chemistry. the great barrier reef has lost something like 50% of its coral cover in the last 30 years. use of title the book, and unnatural history. starts the debate of whether this is natural. tell me why you chose that as a subtitle. >> it is a bit of a play on words. one of the key questions of the is, wheref our time do humans fit into the natural order? for a long time, science has g

now he's at loggerheads with saudi arabia with egypt. um going forward how old people the star power of turkey be in the downpour. to me. tookie was a model we got into his foreign policy which was the reply blue suit. you did to youtube this is the ap's pink and then an epidemic or played his hand and she taught that he has much more that he sees the npp leisurely actually being led into two did in the leaves of going for what is going to stay firm. a second change prince's his policy on syria i love it. this may be that there are some signs that the dead he he he wants to change the east coast auntie leah. they had talks with eu un and the awesome messages but it will be difficult to move to two changes on to assyria cause he was one of the lost our two leaders see his descent regime the i think it would be difficult there. and in the leading total to forty policy. out to build on and shortly he was made to look a lot to frame his toes. define business to the and he's told he's in his way of penalty soon got to a kikuyu so maybe a chan

right now we're at the point this thing is at loggerheads. he refuses to give them details.ind the scenes it is getting pretty nasty. he is losing his temper off and on. he called up 1 of the board members. the board member secretary answered the phone and said the board is not in right now and trust him to trading desk. they transit him back th back te board, the secretary was not in, he started screaming and cursing at the secretary. the next day he sent her flowers. that is how he conducts business. that is where we are right now. and the screaming match where both sides. you talk to people, i think he wants something like what carl is doing with ebay. spin off some stuff. they have real estate holdings, a real estate company, he is looking for that to boost his stock. liz: what is so bad about this? typically the activist jumps in when something is insidious the ugly about to come out or a flailing stock. charlie: it has pretty good management, a difficult business. he thinks it is undervalued. i have this reality subsidiary and they have some buildings. what they think

but the obama administration is at loggerheads with the netenyahu government because their insistences that kind of aggressive pursue answer of further sanctions right now that the iranians could walk away, and that could sabotage -- torpedo a very delicate process that is ongoing right now. >> tom, thank you. >>> now an egyptian court has banned the activities of hamas, the palestinian group that rules the gaza strip, and ordered the group's assets to be seized. it is accused of plotting with the government to carry out the violence. this needs to be endorsed by egypt's go before it comes into effect. >>> egyptian army chief says he cannot ignore calls from citizens for him to run as president. sisi says official procedures for his bid on the presidency will begin soon. he is currently the defense minister, and will have to resign from that post before he can officially announce his candidacy. >>> and al jazeera continues to demand the immediate release of their staff being held in egypt. they have now spent 66 days in prison. they are accused of having links with a terrorist organiz

this meeting was ostensibly called to deal with the issue of syria, an issue where russia was at loggerheads with the u.s. and the west. that's pretty much been overshadowed by ukraine, hasn't it? >> it has been, yes. i'm outside the alizi palace and in the next hour or so the meeting will go ahead. specifically it's to do with helping the lebanese government cope with the spill-over effects of the crisis. president suleman is here and there's talk about the financial assistance for the 1 million refugees and lebanon and the saudis are talking about a $3 billion offer to assist and equip the lebanese government. mainly it should be said with french weaponry. all that will go ahead. there's only so much diplomacy that can happen on one day. the real focus for john kerry and sergei lavrov, and william hague and the western leaders is going to be on ukraine. i think the significance of today is that, yes, president obama and vladimir putin spoke on the telephone. the americans and the russians staked out their very different positions and understand of what's happened in ukraine over the past w

former revolutionary allies in ukraine are at loggerheads with a new rift opened by the death of a militant leader who helped the coup but was killed by the new authorities. plus the fake crimean conscripts serving in the ukrainian army hangs in the balance we hear from others waiting for news of when their sons will be allowed to return home . also face criminal nation against women and non muslims in the u.k. issue really all creeps through the back door and barack obama touches down in brussels amid unprecedented security with military roadblocks trolls and gun ships costing the taxpayers ten million euros. they're welcome you're watching international. now the modern activists in ukraine may have achieved their goal of overthrowing the government but they say they have no plans to remove their tents from the city center at least until may's presidential election however their leaders are looking increasingly divided throwing harsh accusations at each other try to and it snakes these are just some of the insults that are being hurled former allies. over reports. they came together lookin

russian says are fascist, which they deny, says that there's no reason that ukraine needs to be at loggerheadsith russia. >> we are prepared to cooperate with russia again. it will be a democratic-free russia that does not destroy ukraine. we are prepared to work with russia. but not the imperial russia of vladimir putin for another tyrant or dictator that may replace him. >> so many people questioning why ukraine and russia need to be on the brink of war. they are brothers, after all. very close people and can't get their hands aroueads around the this situation. the top brass in the ukrainian and russian armies were comrades a decade ago, two decades ago, working together in the red army. for them, too, it got to be destabilizing that they are facing off at this tense moment. >> it has to be. we are heard so much of that today in crimea. amy, some russian troops and ukrainian troops met there with the russians firing weapons and ukrainians saying that we are brothers, this should not be happening and then consultations. one shot fired over the heads of ukrainian soldiers that had been lower

india and pakistan have been loggerheads. their radar so sensitive to anything in their territory unannounced. for example, osama bin laden, two chinooks across border, into pakistan they went. they were picked up on area radar pakistan at 100 feet in a mountainous region within 10 minutes. two f-16s to interrogate what the two blips were. to me it's inconceivable for an aircraft to fly in this area unless -- unless the home government knows about it. >> we're coming back to the beginning then, because there's still a lot of questions about the pilot. senator chambliss speaking to megyn kelly last night. i want to run that sound and get your reaction out of it. >> those that examined it and particularly the folks from boeing who obviously made the airplane, from what they have been told, there just simply is no way a catastrophic event turned that transponder off. somebody had to manually turn it off. >> do you agree with that, someone had to manually turn it off, it could not be a catastrophic event? >> it's an option. we ca

russians have a very intricate economy that is not like the cold war when these two nations were at loggerheadsmultiple nuclear warheads pointed at each other, very different ideologies. it isn't like that anymore. it isn't. that has changed. although, vladimir putin does have this idea he wants to keep a strong sphere of influence in what they call their near abroad. keep as many of these ex soviet republics on site as possible. that ignores the wish and will of the people in the former soviet republics who have had a taste of freedom and economic opportunity and don't see their future with the former soviet union or today's russia. what the you states can do, they are not going to go to war. yes, there have been all these nato meetings. they clearly have not got a military option on the table. what secretary kerry has to do, flex as much u.s. leverage as possible, which involves economic, business, world trade. all those kinds of things as we keep watching them prepare for this press conference right there. also, the g-8. will russia be a member of the civilized nations or will it not? >> he

clearly at loggerheads here. state mediators say the gap is too big. we need totelling us find a solution, but it does not seem to me like he is coming up with answers yet. >> talking to both to say let us find a solution to the problem. we play that role. the workers say no. that you must consider. what is going to happen to the economy itself? on the other side, the employers must concede. do, that is going to is our concern. be recognizing the disagreements, not coming up with solutions. these strikes were deadly in 2012. this is a real concern. >> the strikes are not just about mining, perhaps a dimmest ration of water frustrations among black workers. how do they tackle that? clear illustration, disillusionment among many of the block -- the black population in south africa. they feel like the distribution of wealth is not happening quickly enough to look at the anc report. elections in may have fallen 10% in the last year. they have a 53% support, we understand. jacob zuma is acutely aware. they have had power for two decades. this is the system

they've been negotiating a great deal and they have been at loggerheads for years over price. this junior wednesday if they will pay and my guess is that they will and they will agree to a better price still not because they're trying to kill investment but because they have no other choice. and that is the trend that we want to drive further because that just squeezes their cash flow. >> that is important. i've been wondering how big the market share is and what ability they have to lower that investment elsewhere or not as much. ukraine itself, because of corruption and you mentioned their inability to produce their own, whether it shale gas or conditional gas, if they were to ramp up the production significantly how quickly could they become completely independent of russian gas or could they? >> i don't think the aim is to be completely independent of russian gas, but not to be so dependent on russian gas. 60% depend upon it in an economy that is very gas heavy. 40% of primary energy comes from natural gas. so that dependency on russia is very significant. i think to get a

for the first time, we have the united states and the major effectively at our real loggerhead againstother. the europeans are largely on the american side and there is a breakdown in leadership in the geopolitical stability. the narrow, what is the attention point right now between ukraine troops and russian troops? how will that work out in the coming 24 hours? >> as long as the russians do not go into east ukraine proper, we will not see -- we will see a lot of tension but we are not going to see any active fighting. you have lots of very, very strong ukrainian nationalists that could easily undermine the ukrainian government or cause violence against russians in the region. they are unhappy about what the russians have done. if that occurs, it is likely the russians would go into protect them. without the intention of vladimir putin going further into ukraine, it could happen anyway and vladimir putin is making up his mind. that could lead to violence. >> let's bring in richard falken rath. we saw this other side of russia airing the olympics, why is glad they were potent willing t

fuller revolutionary allies in ukraine are at loggerheads with the new rift opened by the death of a minister who helped the coup but was killed by the new authorities. plus crimean conscripts find themselves stuck in the ukrainian army despite now being russian citizens leaving their families in limbo with no news of when they'll be allowed to return home. full size is it discrimination against women of non muslims in the u.k. a shari'a law creeps through the back door and brussels shells out millions of euros provide the pomp and ceremony for barack obama's visit all but shutting down europe's capital with military roadblocks patrols and gun ships flyovers. hello there it's nice to have you company you're watching international. now the modern activists in ukraine may have achieved their goal of overthrowing the government but they say they have no plans to remove their tents from the city center at least until may's presidential election however their leaders are looking increasingly divided throwing harsh accusations at each other traitors bandits snakes these are just some of th

they have been at loggerheads for years over price. we will see this year of the russians are going to cave in my guess is they will and they will agree to a better price yield not because they're trying to kill our investment but because they have no other choice. that is a trend we want to drive further because it squeezes their cash flow. thereust wonder how big market share is or what ability they have to actually lower prices and undercut investment elsewhere. ukraine itself, because of corruption and you mentioned theirinability to produce own, whether it is shale gas or traditional gas, if they were to ramp up production significantly, how quickly could they become completely independent of russian gas or could they? >> i don't think it is the aim necessarily to be completely independent of russian gas. 60% dependent are 40% ofian gas and primary energy in ukraine comes from natural gas. that dependency on russia is very significant. get 50%to self-sufficiency level, ukraine can probably do it within two or three years with the

it's was never allowed to participate, and we'll be at loggerheads with no final solution and dissatisfaction. >> putin will be the winner in the first scenario. >> he'll be the winner, but at great loss, because people will see him as an aggressor. >> not something after the success of the sochi olympics. >> it puts a blemish on the soicks. >> we talked about president barack obama and john f kennedy. what are the everyones its. cuba was an island off the coast of the united states. ukraine is in the heart of europe. they are different situations. plus, russia did have an interest in ukraine. it's been part of their history for years. the u.s. has not have that relationship. there are unique characteristics that don't figure in to the plan. basically each president - kennedy and barack obama - have approached the fusing of the crisis in many of the same ways. >> the cuban missile crisis lasted 13 days. how long will this last. >> many years. >> author and fellow at the century foundation. thank you for being with us. >> reports of excessive force against ain't government protesters are raisi

>> well, you know, "on easy rider" that came at a time when you had two generations, of loggerheads,a smile -- a smile on your face, you know? >> well, that song, i do remember a story about writing that song. i used to produce records, and produced the young bloods, a san francisco group, and we had a live recording, the pop festival, down in baton rouge, louisiana, right after "easy rider" movie, and all of the bands, airplane, chicago, all of them -- >> going down to baton rouge, instead of being in monterrey. >> they were all afraid that somebody would stop somewhere and somebody would run out with a pair of shears and cut their hair. they were just nervous. the motel was like a camp or something. but i -- >> is that the idea? >> being from the south, i thought it was funny. >> yeah. >> i got to thinking about that, and we put this guy in this mad situation and extricated him. >> when it comes to you, though, a lot of people are familiar with "devil down to georgia," and a threat of a musician when it comes to the fiddle and the guitar. if you had to pick, right, between the fidd
