mr. kerry's message has been this please show some restraint in a south china sea in the interests of regionallity. the obama administration has been alarmed by the dramatic expansion of artificial islands in the south china sea. now aerial photographs in resent months have seen evidence of chinese dredging and work going on around some islands as well as evidence potentially of a rum wave being built. the united states is worried some eye atlantas cause be used to station missile systems and to force an exclusion zone should beijing wish to do so. now almost all of the south china sea is claimed by beijing but this area also contains some of the world's busyist shipping lanes and the united states is worried about freedom of navigation in the south china sea so mr. kerry has come here with essentially a very blunt message and that is to pull back, to hold the construction work that has been going on. now in resent days the obama administration has spoken darkly about the need to send u.s. ships and war planes to the south china sea to potentially challenge beijing's sovereignty claims, beijin

on the subject of ukraine, it is understood mr. kerry was told that it intends to pressure would only lead to a dead end. >> some fairly long four hour discussions with john kerry before john kerry then went into meetings with vladimir putin. so lav love came out of the discussion and says that yes they had talked about ukraine, that was one of the big topics of this meeting here and i can go through the lines that basically lavrov and kerry agree that there was no alternative really, to a political settlement in ukraine that both sides were saying that the minsk protocols were the only real solution to what was happening in ukraine. but that russia wants comprehensive constitutional reform. essentially, giving increased powers to the eastern sections of the country that have been brought by civil war. and said that yes russia was ready for cooperation, with the united states. but only on an equal bases where there was no two e, from coming from washington and that russia can't be held responsibility, for the current crisis, in relations

so mr. kerry has come here with essentially a very blunt message.hat is to pull back, halt with the construction work going on. in recent days the obama administration has spoken darkly about the need to send u.s. ships and warplanes to the south china sea to potentially challenge beijing's sovereignty claims. beijing reacted angrily to that, saying that it won't be passive in the face of such threats and also points out that other rifle claims to these islands in the south china sea have also been doing much of the same thing namely the philippines and vietnam. bay change said that washington has been silent in the face of that action proving that washington is going of what it says is a cold war knee jerk mentality. >> we're approaching the midway point on this news hour. still to come, indonesia helps migrants who made it to shore but said it won't take any more refugees. plus... >> i'm erica wood on south africa's cape coast. overfishing has put the continent's only sees seas of penguin at risk of extinction. >> in sport the fastest hat trick in

mr kerry had to say that they were a critical partner in the fight of what he calls violent extremists [ inaudible ] >>> apologies, we seem to be - to have lost her there. apologies about that. let's go to the saudi capital, riyadh where kerry is headed after leaving djibouti we are joined live from there. what is he planning to achieve. he's trying to get a humanitarian pause in the fighting. any chance of that happening? >> it will depend on how the saudis react and the guarantees for the saudis to achieve some of their goals in yemen. after six weeks of air strikes there's not much the saudis can do, in terms of what the initial goals, ousting the houthis from cities bringing them to the negotiation table and forcing the return or allowing the return of president abd-rabbu mansour hadi the legitimate president. any of that, and stopping in the war will mean that they have not achieved any of their goals. the discussion will be there on that. the americans will push for a humanitarian truce. the saudis announced that they are ready to create safe zones in yemen for the distribution o

war planes and ships to this area to challenge beijing's claim and today mr. kerry basically had a message to china and it was this: show restraint. >> i urged china through foreign minister wong, to join in helping reduce tensions, and increase the prospect of a diplomatic solution. and i think we agree that the region needs smart diplomacy in order to conclude the asean china code of conduct and not outpoachts and militaryoutposts and military strips. >> adrian the fact that united states is disputing this construction how is china reacting to that? >> china is saying it is defend its sovereignty. it's accusing washington of knee jerk diplomacy and ignoring the philippines and japan's building up but the building is not as blatant and china's. i think both are testing each other's reserve in this area. >> thank you adrian. >>> burundi president pierre nkurunziza says peace has returned to the country. but doctors accuse police of entering hospital and shooting fighters. malcolm webb has the story. >> after the coup leaders announced it had failed, doctors say poli

mr. kerry was presented with a basket of tomatoes and potatoes. by mr. lavrov and a t-shirt about the victory day celebrations or commemorations for his part john kerry gave a briefcase to lavrov. when it comes to what was disclosed publicly, as you say, no significant break throughs but i think possibly more interesting developments privately given that john kerry has come away from this meeting and as he goes into two days of nato discussions has talked about making progress on iran which would have been one of the topics that was discussed fully here and whether the russians are on side when it comes to the u.s. negotiations over denuclearization. >> greece managed to repay it's loan payment on time however they put a tap on an emergency account to secure the cash for the payment. they took 650 million euros from the emergency account and made up the remaining from the own cash reserves. they're due to pay 1 billion euros in public sector salaries. >> the ecb raised it to 80 billion euros in total. julia joins us to talk all things greece. there gettin

so mr. kerrylly a very blunt message and that is to pull back, to halt construction work that has been going on. now, in resent days the obama administration has spoken darkly about the need to send u.s. ships and war planes to the south china sea to potentially challenge beijing's sovereignty claims. beijing has reacted angry to that saying that it won't be passive in the face of such and will defend sovereignty. it also points out other rival claimants to the islands in the south china sea have been doing the same thing, namely philippines and vietnam and washington has been silent in the face of that action proving that washington is guilty of what it says is a cold war, knee-jerk mentality. >>> mexico will pay more than $3 million in compensation to the relatives of criminal suspects who killed by soldiers last year, human rights investigation found government troops shot the suspects after they surrendered and john has more in southeast mexico. >> reporter: the town is buried deep in the mexi

so mr. kerrye here with essentially a very blunt message and that is to pull back to halt construction work that has been going on. now in resent days the obama administration has spoken darkly about the need to send u.s. ships and war planes to the south china sea to potentially challenge beijing's sovereignty claims beijing has reacted angry to that saying it won't be passive in the face of such threats and will defend its sovereignty. it also points out that other rival claimants to these islands in the south china sea have also been doing much the same thing namely the philippines and vietnam. beijing says washington has been silent in the face of that action proving that washington is guilty of what it says is a cold war, knee-jerk mentality. >>> approaching midway point on this news hour and still to come on the program. >>> i'm in rwanda and they want to go back home and why many of them are too scared to cross the border and go back to burundi. >>> we are in southeast mexico to find out th

and if you heard mr kerry, he said that kenya's presence and occupation is important for the security of the country and the region. kenya has been destabilize of course and troops na that country, for several years. there's no addressing of that question. so al-shabab becomes, if you like a bandwagon to ride on without supporting the somali security forces to do the work themselves and free the country. >> i spoke to the president of uganda who believes al-shabab is increasingly desperate and weakened. are the african union forces that are involved despite what you said about kenya and ethiopia are they doing a good job about combatting al-shabab and somalia. >> it is important to note that they have been helpful to the somali people in pushing them out of urban centers. al-shabab is able to hit and run terror when and where they want. the only people that will defeat al-shabab are significantly improved and wealthy security forces. they get something like $700 million from the e.u. and american government. if a fraction was put into 20,000 somali forces we'd be further along the roa

mr. kerry is now talking about the leadership sending a signal that it is willing to engage seriously on denuclearization. so that's a marked shift. >>> the u.n. secretary-general has called on southeast asian governments to help rescue thousands believed abandoned at sea. those who have made it to shore in indonesia are being held in shelters which lack basic showering facilities. they're turning away boat loads of migrants. the international organization for migration says governments need to do more to stamp out smuggling networks across the region. >> certainly there's diplomatic approaches. those will continue. there's sharing information about ships at sea and where they are. even more than that if there are regional powers that have ships in the navy even global powers they can also play a part. the smuggling network was moving 8,000 people a month on average in the past six months. one month there were 13,000. we need to help them. no longer are ships departing meaning we need to focus

attempts to start talks again, and they were unsuccessful and, rather than having a concrete evidence, mr. kerry is now talking about the leadership, sending a signal that it is willing to engage on it. so that's a market shift. there has been word, on monday, the state media there saying if the president of south korea was a viper, and that's in response to her comments on friday that there was a rein of terror. >>> nep nep's prime minister has appealed for more aid and he says his country still needs more funds for entrestructure, the tremor hit nepal and killing more than 8,000 people, and it was followed by a aftershock last tuesday and that killed 117 people and injured almost 3,000. >>> while the earthquakes have exposed serious face in nepal which hasn't agreed to a constitution. and now, in katmandu, sends this report. >>> the people of nay cal pal don't trust the ground they walk on, no one can gauge how long it will take to recover and in their trust, from the politicians, by an after shock. and many are unconvinced. >>> the first 11 days, no political parties nowhere because they coul

mr. kerryis talks to chinese, will be emphasizing the united states commitment ever freedom of navigation in the south china sea. now, china has responded angrily to the suggestion that these islands have a military use. china says that these islands fall within its sovereignty therefore, it is entitled to do with these islands whatever it wishes. at the moment you have to remember that china really is on a sort of nationalistic role right now and nothing matters more to beijing than absorbent even if it's a few small islands in the south china sea. >> adrian thank you very much for now. adrian brown is in the chinese capital. we will be monitoring that press conference due to be given soon by john kerry the u.s. secretary of state and wan lee we will be watching to see what they say. >>> in other news, boston bomber dzhokhartsarnaev has been sentenced to debt for his role in the 2013 attack which killed three people. a jury in the state of massachusetts made the decision. after more than 14 ho

it is understood that mr. kerryhat the attempts to pressure would only lead to a dead end. which would jeopardize a cease fire in yemen. it has called to redirect the ship said to be carrying aid to a redistribution center. 7.3 magnitude aftershock has hit less than three weeks. at least 45 have been killed in the latest tremors. the governments to find and rescue hundreds of migrants believe to be stranded at sea and it was the best. they have redirected a boat full of migrants toward the malaysian coast, and it says it will not accept any more boats around 2,000 people have reached mali sha in the last few days in a moment we will hear from our correspondent, but first this report from malaysia. the job to monitor and protect the waters around malaysia. as well as struggling humans now their job has become incredibly important. after the arrival of more than 1,000 migrants. this week sir you in your experience, you have been with the agency for ten years, you are seeing more and more people coming to malaysia via

question for mr. kerry. you mentions that the minsk agreement is the best way forward. but we can hear militant statements from kiev. statements that crimea should be returned what sort of influence washington has on kiev. >> and how can the united states use that influence to resolve this conflict. >> i have not had a chance -- i have not read the speech. i haven't seen any context i have simply heard about it in the course of today. but if indeed the president is advocating an engangment in a force. effort at this time, we would strongly urge him to think twice not to engang in that kind of activity. that that would put minsk in serious jeopardy and we would be very very concerned about what the consequences of that kind of action at this time may be. now, it may be he was talking about in the long term, he may have been talking about the context of the final resolution, or settlement, i don't know the answer to that. resort to portion would be extremely destructive, the working groups have met, and they have an ability to try to provide a path forward on all of those

our correspondent rosalind jordan is traveling with mr. kerry. the kenyan capital of nairobi. >> it was the first visit ever of secretary of state to somalia somalia. john kerry's mission was to pledge support to this democracy just three years old. the secretary of state wanted to show the administration's support but also to encourage somalia to do more, to try to improve its military capacity particularly as it's trying to get rid of al-shabab. even though somalia is working with members from other countries that have pledged to use military force to try to degrade al-shabab they also have to deal with the fact that there is a long term military tradition. so kerry wanted to underscore the u.s.' willingness to devolve its military capacity. finally they wanted to deliver the message that the rule of law and free expression are both important in any democracy. to that end he made it a point to meet with people who were very much instrumental in trying to make sure that somalia had a healthy cultural environment not just one that is a state secur

. >> do you think mr. kerry will want to get a feel from mr. putin to how close russia is moving toward china? >> i'm not sure that this is a path that kerry will go down at this point. the russians used the relationship with china as a counter point with the declining relationship they have with a number of western governments. it fulfills a few propaganda angles for president putin but represents economic interests they can do long-term oil and gas deal with the chinese at a time when maybe other countries in the world are not going to take so much. i'll just say we have another thing on the agenda here today and i want to throw this into the mix for a minute. away from what's happening with kerry and president putin there will be a report released by the friends of boris nemtsov, the murdered politician drafting his own report on russian troop activity in ukraine. that report is now going to be released by his allies today in just an hour or so's time. so we'll be interested in finding out what that has to say and whether that will force a re

mr vladimir putin decides to go further. in fact, the very fact that the secretary of state john kerry went to sochi in russia last week and meth mr vladimir putin, at a time when there were sanctions against russia and shows an effort by the west by the united states to say "look, we are going to keep you from doing anything untoward what you have done, but we don't want a new cold war. it's your choice if these things get bad and go to worse. and i hope mr vladimir putin gets that message, because otherwise he will be in worse shape, and, quite frankly, than what russia is today. >> n.a.t.o. is based on the principle of collective offenses, in article 5, an attack on one nation is an attack on all members. considering the current climate, i.s.i.l.'s advances in the middle east, do you think if it came it it russia would start a war. like estonia are you confident that that would be the reality? >> i'm confident and i'm - about n.a.t.o. of a whole. i was there at the headquarters last friday. i'm confident in the united states i hope in vladimir putin understands that one reason for the air policing the manoeuvres about every

"the himilayas seen here from a 9 a-f aircraft in wartime are the giants of the earth. grim inhospitable, forbidding and the greatest of these giants of course, is mount everest itself a permanent challenge to the adventurous spirit of man." the year was 1953 colonel john hunt was leading a british expedition in nepal. their mission--the tallest mountain in the world -- mount everest. others before them had tried failed and even died in pursuit of the peak. but-- it would be a bee keeper from new zealand and his sherpa guide that ultimately proved the mountain's match. the journey-- which tends to be remembered as a singular moment -- was actually a harrowing expedition. one that lasted weeks. "there were eight camps

a lot of people believe he won, most democrats believe he won about this 2000 or john kerry who is being called mre is a life after politics. >> no, there's not. >> i'm having a great time with what i'm doing. >> i see you twitching in the corner. you're sobbing at 6:25 this morning. >> i'm doing some teaching some working in washington. >> you know what i'm hearing, it's like straight out of the pea nuts. there is a life after politics and these days it's not bad. who would want to be in the house is this. >> why is it that at 6:10 you're in the greenroom and i walk past and you were whistling hail to the chief. >> he has that on his iphone. >> i guess a good question would be why would anybody want to stick their neck out especially now because it is so brutal and that's a perfect segue to the "wall street journal's" editorial by peggy noonan. i wonder if anybody except hillary clinton could survive such a book as "clinton cash". i suspect she can because the clintons are unique. they are protected from charges of corruption by their reputation for corruption. it's just not news any more. they'r

mr. cook: a quick follow up? rep. mccaul: when i questioned kerry on foreign affairs, he said there is a super vetting process, but when you ask the fbi, they say there isn't any. we don't have the databases on them. we have the biometrics and databases so we can safely bring them in, and i don't think that's what the american people want. i think europe has a real problem on their hands right now. mr. cook: brian. >> i want to go back to the expiring provisions of the patriot act. two of the provisions are going to expire on june 1, unlike the bulk data collection provision. but the lone wolf provision -- and the roving wiretaps provision. in addition to the other business records -- the fbi -- those are also set to expire. can you talk about the impact about those expiring? rep. mccaul: those are significant provisions that were passed after 9/11. i think i may be one of the only members who prosecuted and practiced the patriot act. though lone wolf provision gave us great flexibility and it was essential because, as we are seeing with these twitt

mr. secretary, in that cbs interview that you just referenced, bashar al-assad... >> smith: it began when a reporter in london asked secretary kerry how assad could possibly avoid a strike. >> he could turn over every single bit of his chemical weapons to the international community in the next week. turn it over, all of it, without delay and allow a full and total accounting for that. but he isn't about to do it, and it can't be done, obviously. >> smith: it was an off-hand remark, but it got the attention of russian foreign minister sergey lavrov. he contacted his syrian counterpart, who got assad to agree. obama went on network tv to sell the idea to the american public. >> this represents a potentially positive development. we are going to run this to ground. john kerry will be talking to his russian counterpart. we're going to make sure that we see how serious these proposals are. >> and so at the time, it seemed like a flyer. "what on earth are you doing? you're gonna really trust two of the people in the world we trust the least, vladimir putin and bashar al-assad?" but in the end, it worked. it became a diplomatic way out

kerry must put its added leverage to use immediately, so that the u.s. can gain much needed ground in the negotiations over the next two months. mr. speaker much of the pressure that brought the islamic republic of iran to the negotiation -- negotiating table was put in place by congress over the objections of the white house, over the objections of both republican and democrat presidents and this is unfortunate. we would have more pressure on iran today if the obama administration hadn't pressured the senate to sit on the royce-engel sanctions bill that the foreign affairs committee produced and this house passed by a margin of 400-20. let's be clear, the administration has come around to support the legislation we're debating here today, but not with any enthusiasm. having followed these negotiations since they began in november of 2013, i can tell you that the president would like nothing more than to have no such bill, and have congress sit on the sideline and have them watch an agreement. without this legislation in place what is congress' position if the president reaches a deal with iran? currently, there is no limitation o

mr. speaker, there's absolutely no guarantee that any final agreement negotiated by secretary kerry and president obama will be a good deal. mr. stutzman: there's no guarantee this will be good for the security of the united states good for the stability of the middle east and good for our good ally, israel. by passing h.r. 1191 we're empowering congress to review the final agreement and block any bad deal negotiated by the president. mr. speaker, june 30 the deadline for the negotiations, is nearing quickly. when and if the president is able to arrive at a deal, i encourage my colleagues to take a strong, thorough look at all of the details. there's too much at stake in the world to get this wrong. thank you mr. speaker, and i yield back. the speaker pro tempore: pursuant to house resolution 260 and rule 18, the chair declares the house in the committee of the whole house on the state of the union for the further consideration of h.r. 1735. will the gentleman from arkansas, mr. womack kindly take the chair? the chair: the house is in the committee of the whole house on the state of the union for

ralph and sue kerry, i think it was and randy and michelle charba and their son will as well as your daught daughter-in-law and lleyton and andrew. >> yes. >> our hearts go out to you, mr. mccomb, i'm so sorry we're meeting under these circumstances. i hope you can update us with good news. i know they're out there searching. there are many people doing this job to try to find them and the others who are missing. thank you for being with us and thank you for telling us their story. >> thank you. >> joe mccomb joining us from texas. just unbelievable. we send our good wishes to his son jonathan for a recovery as he tries to deal with what he's dealing with in the hospital, his injuries and of course this mystery, these missing family members and friends. we'll take you back to cleveland after the break as that protest starts to gather steam. hundreds in the streets. there's a lot developing right now. the police shooting verdict and of course the federal government and what it plans to do in that city with that police force. we're back right after the break. headache? motrin helps you be an unstoppable, let's-rock-this-concert- like-it's-1999 kind of mom. when pain trie

kerry's meeting. can you explain the utility of that? it seems pretty clear where the u.s. stands in respect -- mr. earnest: we have talked quite a bit about how complicated the relationship is between the u.s. and russia. there are a variety of areas where the u.s. has been able to successfully work with russia in pursuit of interests that benefit both of our countries. there have been a wide range of things. they have been an important partner in putting place the sanctions regime that would compel a run to the negotiating table and we have been appreciative of the role they have played in that effort. there is much discussion about the way the u.s. and russia was able to work together to dispose of syria's declared chemical weapons stock tile. that would not have been possible without the leadership of russia to convince assad regime to declare the chemical weapon stock tile that did highlight the strong working relationship between the u.s. and russia when it comes to pursuit of our mutual interests. we also have not been shy about identifying those areas where we have had disagreements with ru

mr. ambassador, good to see you. >> thank you, bill. >> do you consider it a snub? the white house is pointing out that secretary kerry was there last week met with the king and left on good terms. now we get the word that he's not coming to washington. what do you make of that? >> there's not a lot on this meeting with king salman. this has been a train wreck over several years. this administration basically from hosni mubarak, the saudis and monarchs were greatly troubled by that and wondered if they might be next. once we saw them with any force over king assad usings chemical weapons. and then the nuclear negotiations going on with iran in which the saudis feel they had may be in the midst of a major shift in power in the middle east in iran's favor. if sanctions are lifted iran has billions of dollars to use against these monarchs in subtle ways. then, they of course if they achieve nuclear status can actually become a major threat in the region. >> so, i mean you sound like you agree, it's a snub? >> i think there's an element of a snub here. the other factor of course is there are only two of these heads of sta

kerry and the white house. and i don't see any way that they can spin it. >> and yet michael crowley, in mr.ork time despite displeasure with u.s., saudis face long fend inside city. and you goes down the piece, the fact thats, despite displeasure with u.s., saudis face long fend inside city. and you goes down the piece, the fact that u.s. fighters are still being used by the saudis in yemen. qatar has the largest u.s. air base in the middle east. and of course bahrain is home to the navy's fifth fleet. these gulf states are so intertwined in their dependencey of the united states of america that all they can do right now is stay away from the summit. they depend on the united states for their national security, do they not? >> yes, they do. and the analogy that comes to mind for me is israel where we have the service of the sea is roiling and there is a lot of fighting fighting, but underneath, there is a strong current of cooperation there. so you can go through a whole list of things with these gulf arab states. big one of course being counterterrorism. our shared fight against islamic ra
