it is contended that mahmoud ahmadinejad only one election through fraud. several major cities in pakistan ought have been shaken by protests. many shops remained closed. they are protesting against possible changes to the tough laws on blasphemy. when turkish students returned university and i october, they discovered an official ban on wearing islamic head scarves have been abandoned. hundreds of islamic women had been banned from campuses for wearing a scarf. >> every morning, this woman puts on a piece of cloth that marks her out as a devout muslim. this also determines how she is looked at by other turks. she is heading into her university where she studied architecture. until this year, she had to put on a hat or a week before she got there. the rules have just changed. >> you don't have to stress of four. school. -- you don't have the stress before school. you can just enter like a regular student. >> she can walk to her classes without fear of being barred entry. >> this is a factor of self- confidence. i am normally a very social person. when you s

and although one can talk with individuals such as foreign ministers say a mahmoud ahmadinejad regimeone should under no circumstances be diluted into soft peddling things that need to be done in order to make that hypothetical negotiations succeed with the chance is sort of close to zero as things get in human endeavors. one thing we should no longer do and in this i join the others on the panel is keep the mek listed as a terrorist organization. [applause] in 22 years of practicing law, i read a lot of legal decisions, and i recently read the circuit court's decision in the case involving the mek versus the state department, and my experience, and i think that of most lawyers interested in international matters is that courts ordinarily get a great deal of deference to the executive branch with respect to the conduct of foreign policy. this eloquently and well written decision of last july by the d.c. circuit effectively says quite blunt although it doesn't use this particular analogy that with the department of state has done is what the red queen does an alice-in-wonderland when s

newly released wikileaks documents claim mahmoud ahmadinejad was slapped in the face after he suggestedng government sanctions on the press in 2009. they don't let the press report anything over there. and the head of the revolutionary guard was so angry, he slapped him. it's like a three stooges movie over there. this is what we're afraid of? ahmadinejad today said that never happened, which is also what he said about the holocaust, so -- [ laughter ] and late today, some very interesting video footage was released. >> not for me. from every woman in america. >> reporter: y >> jimmy: you see here -- pretty clearly, she slapped him, you know? so, that's what's up in iran, just in case you were wondering. here in the united states, two winning tickets were sold for the big mega-millions jackpot. did anybody buy tickets for this thing? yeah? well, i know why you're clapping. you're all losers. when the jackpot got up to $380 million, all over the country, there were huge lines to buy tickets before the deadline. this makes no sense to me. the usual $40 million jackpot isn't enough for you

. >>> new information out of egypt in just the past hour where president mahmoud ahmadinejad has justese are live pictures of cairo. the president replaced the old cabinet on the 7th day of ant- government protests. 100 demonstrators have died so far but there is fear the toll is higher. the first evacuated americans are flying to europe at this hour. traffic is headed to cairo international airport, and it's flooded with foreigners trying to escape the unrest. lots of frustrations because thousands of travelers were stranded when egyptair cancelled 25 flights yesterday and there aren't enough workers at the airport check-in counters because many egyptair employees couldn't get to work because of the curfew. all this frustration leading to shouting matches and fist fights at the airport. egypt's capital showing signs of regularity today. they have trash pickup, subway service but there are police on the streets. >>> time now 5:35. it's drying out. let's go over to jim bernard for another check of our forecast. should we bring the umbrella just in case? >> oh, no. you can leave the umb

one of the great ironies is that every year mahmoud ahmadinejad appears before the u.n. he comes to the united states. he is able to express whatever he feels like in a the animus or rhetorical way. that same opportunity -- in a venemous or rhetorical way. there is someone who would love to come to the united states. [applause] the inconsistency in policy is pretty difficult to understand. that is why the designation needs to be lifted. in the 20th century, our enemies were evil. we all agreed they were fairly rational. they cared little for him alive. they cared a great deal for self preservation. those realities allow for a window of compromise and negotiation to exist. today, i do not think any exists which iran. we are fighting an ideology. not one single ideologue. our relationship with allies has evolved over the past 30 years. with the passage of time comes the need to consider, in one form or another, different strategies. it is all right to deny each and optimistic. you take an approach -- to be naive and optimistic. at the end of the day, should you say to your

when mahmoud ahmadinejad goes into lebanon and he faces towards israel and says we stand for the destruction of the zionist state. what more do you need? what more evidence do you need? there comes a time when someone continues to poke you in the chest, you must understand that you have to take that serious. it reminds me of when theo van gogh who was a dutch filmmaker was heard saying as he was being stabbed repeatedly to death to his assailant, can't we just talk about this? now, i don't know about you, but when someone is driving a knife into my chest, i think the whole course of action of let's have an intellectual discourse is over. but yet on a grander scale that's what we're allowing to happen. if you look all across europe, the anti-semitisim that is happening there. you look at what's going on in london. there's a youtube video where we see ritotists islamists chasing away place in sweden what was once a thriving community has dwindled down to 500. people are afraid to walk around. and profess their jewish faith in europe. this is where we are in our country. and if you go back and

is the green movement an effective force for challenging mahmoud ahmadinejad?n the government. iran's economy has been heard by the sanctions, soft oil prices and long-standing policies that discourage private sector and foreign investment. but the assessment is that the economy is not in crisis or at least not yet. iran maintains foreign currency reserves to hedge against the moderate falls in world oil prices. tehran has also resorted to doing business with small, nonwestern banks in dealing and non-u.s. currencies for many financial transactions. further, ahmadinejad has tried to insulate the poorest and loweron classes from the budgetr cuts and a removable state subsidies. so, even if there is rising political disaffection among thr people, the assessment is thatc this will not bring down thisi government. e this government. the students and opposition political class are seen as disorganized and not strong enough to mobilize, take their protest to the streets and challenge the government that has that's a pretty discouraging assessment. but is it accurate?

i think what's happening internally and the pressure on mahmoud ahmadinejad. will iran attack? how would the region do with that? all sorts of challenges there as well. host: in the "new york times", "2011 may be make or break for the u.s.-ed mission." in that phrase "make or break" in your opinion, what is it that would make or break et u.s. efforts in afghanistan in 2011? >> i think almost the biggest problem the americans have and the british and the other allies is to have these deadlines put in for domestic and political certainty. i was there recently on a trip with secrerery gtaes and there was a zrong sense, the military was saying, well, we will surge troops are in place. let's start the clock now. the clock here in washington has been going for apromping 10 years, and i think people want to see results. people need to believe that pakistan is doing something about safe havens. they need to believe the afghanistan surt forces are capable of taking over. if we don't start to see evidence about going into a campaign season here in the u.s., i think obama, who -- whose he

these men and women want to voice their opposition to mahmoud ahmadinejad, and for some reason we think keeping them listed as a foreign terrorist organization improves our position to negotiate with iran. they look with impugnity at the united nations in the u.s. when it comes to the negotiations on their nuclear arming. at least we could support people who want to take the support of democracy to the streets. host: tom ridge, the former homeland security director. an e-mail, "should we stop dictators even if they support us? is it time for the u.s. to have a principled foreign policy?" guest: it would be easy if it was an either/or. one of the challenges for all administrations is balancing, as i mentioned before what are the legitimate interests of america -- and by the way, sometimes our interests are also global interests. one of the reasons we have been so engaged in the middle east for so long is because of the world's universal tendency -- pendency on oil. that universal addiction means somehow that oil greases literally the internatiol economy. you would have a huge internation
