. >> mr. kerryiplomats are letting it be known that they will limit their dealings with washington in protest at what they see as the lack of action on syria. what has the saudi foreign minister told you about that? is this a serious rift with your saudi allies? and secondly, do you think this conference in geneva will happen next month or not, or are the prospects as gloomy as today's very english weather? >> i thought it was pretty nice out, actually. it didn't seem all that gloomy. first of all, prince saud al-faisal, who is the foreign minister of the kingdom of saudi arabia, told me yesterday at a meeting that we had in paris two meetings we had, actually and again today that saudi arabia is taking part in, working with, cooperating with us. and saudi arabia today signed onto this communiquÉ and was part of its formulation and the discussions we had today. so all i can tell you is that saudi arabia and the united states agree on a great deal here going forward. we work closely with saudi arabia

mr. kerry is em blazenned on these issues. here is the sunday commentary. >> one of the truly genuine thrills in politics is to be important and powerful. it takes much patience and years of one's career to reach the state of being. consider john kerry. 28 years in the u.s. senate, the loser in abusing the presidential run and now the secretary of state. he is turning his new job into a blizzard of approving headlines and a sense of apparent progress, emphasis on the apparent. he is moving very fast and ticking off things to accomplish on the obama agenda as his boss struggles to burn at his at that time terred legacy. since he replaced hillary clinton in february, no matter is too small for kerry's attention. convincing the syrians to remove their chemical weapons, albeit with a lot of help from vladimir putin. getting them to restart their peace talks and reportedly reaching an agreement with the leader of afghanistan for a deal on the future of the u.s. troops. to top it off, we are negotiating with iran about their stores

we believe at the time that geneva communique had some positive elements and then when mr. kerry met last may and they decided to hold a geneva con friday. we thought it's could present an opportunity to end the conflict. a couple of point and i'll stop here. from our point of view, number one, there is -- there should be, in fact, the clarity about the expected outcome of this process and for us is a transition to democracy. we're not going talk about power sharing. we're not going talk about rehabilitatings the asham regime. we are talking about democratic that's the essence of communique of georgia geneva. it talk about the transition of the -- including military security all those that existed and then leading in to democratic and transitional period and election. second point from our point of view, we believe that we need the support of key countries in the region. we want their endorsement. that's why during the meetings the leadership had in new york with the member of the international community including our friends. we insisted countries like turkey, saudi arabia, all

. >> mr. kerryiplomats are letting it be known that they will limit their dealings with washington in protest as what they see the lack of action on syria. what has the saudi prime minister told you? econdly, do you think this corches in geneva will happen ext month or not or is the weather,as the english gloomy? >> i thought it was pretty nice, actually. it didn't seem all that gloomy. first of all, the prince who is he foreign minister who came from saurd -- saudi arabia told me in two meetings and again day that saudi arabia is cooperating with us and saudi arabia signed on to this communique. o all i can tell you is that saudi arabia and the united states agree on a great deal deal going forward. range of th saud on a political issues include iran, middle east, egypt. with still working on them those. we're obviously disappointed that the strike didn't take place and have questions about some of the other things that may be happening in the region. it's our obligation to work closely with them a

what specific actions does mr. kerry say the north needs to take for a resumption of talks? >> well, as you say, we had this before jay cutler visited japan in april and this was on the tail in that period. north korea tested a ballistic missile in february. in march, it threatened military action against japan, south korea and the united states. john kerry says if they are going to negotiate, they need to turn down the rhetoric and also they need to denuclearize the peninsula. >> the six parties involved in the six party talks have made it crystal clear we are prepared to reengage in those talks, to have a peaceful relationship with north korea. we are prepared to sign a non-aggression agreement, providing north korea decides to denuclearize and engage in negotiations to achieve that end. >> for the north koreans, they wouldn't be involved in a regime change. of course, it's watched the u.s. kill sadaam hussein and move into syria and sabre rattle against assad. they're very concerned about what the u.s. intends to do in north korea. they say they will come to the table if

secretary kerry asserted that mr. obama, quote, means what he says. but, mr. speaker, if the world truly believed that this president means what he says, the chemical weapons crisis in syria would never have occurred place. irst secretary kerry said of the syrian crisis that north korea and iran were closely watching our actions. however, mr. speaker, the converse is actually far more accurate. syria has been closely watching mr. obama's inaction toward north korea and iran since he became president. and consequently assad felt he could use chemical weapons on innocent men, women and children with inpumity. unfortunately, mr. speaker, -- impunity. unfortunately, mr. speaker, the whole world now sees this president, the u.s. under this president is all talk. however, in the mo this monumentally important issue of preventing iran from gaining nuclear weapons, our critical diplomatic policies must be backed by our immoveble will to back them up by all means necessary. the popular narrative of the obama administration is -- administration is to embrace iran's openn

. >> mr. kerry, saudi diplomats are letting it be known that they will limit their dealings with washington in protest at what they see as the lack of action on syria. what's the saudi foreign minister told you about that? is this a serious rift with your saudi allies? and secondly, do you think this conference in geneva will happen next month or not? or are the prospects as gloomy as today's very english weather? [laughter] >> i thought it was pretty nice out, actually. t didn't seem all that gloomy. first of all, the prince, who is the foreign minister of the kingdom of saudi arabia, told me yesterday at a meeting that we had in paris, two meetings we had, actually, and again today that saudi arabia is taking part in, working with, cooperating with us and saudi arabia today signed on to this communique. and was part of its formulation in the discussions we had today. so all i can tell you is that saudi arabia and the united states agree on a great deal here going forward. we work closely with saud

the president decided last night secretary of state john kerry will sit in for him in indonesia. mr. obama already canceled plans to stop in malaysia and the philippines during the trip. white house officials say the president will stay behind to press his case for republicans to allow an immediate vote to reopen the government. because of the government shutdown, we are not getting the latest jobs numbers. they would have released the september report today, but can't because of a lack of funding. only 3 of the 2,400 employees at the bureau are working right now. the monthly jobs report includes the unemployment rate. the numbers are watched closely and influence policies and investment decisions. >>> the national cathedral wants to help cupping that had to cancel their weddings. they are inviting couples to tie the knots at the gardens. at least two dozen couples has to postpone their weddings that were supposed to take place on the sites on the national mall. >>> the weather is great here. other parts of the country are bracing for a tropical storm. >> is karen going to have an i

by general consent once again my colleague john kerry has promised me results but there are no results there are just statements like the one made by mr about the refusal to attend the geneva conference it is strange to hear the repetitive utterances from individual representatives of the u.s. state department that we are moving towards the goal of geneva two together but that it's only important for russia to put pressure on damascus this is shifting the blame onto others because we do influence damascus and get real results. and. discuss the difficulties of providing humanitarian aid to syria with the president of the red cross and here's a quick preview of the full program which you can find online as r.c. dot com. this and more you just mentioned the geneva conventions and the geneva conventions make it pretty clear. they were primarily designed to protect people quiet not part of the conflict or no longer part of the conflict and while the geneva convention clearly give protection to civilians or to combatants they do not leave combatants without any protection. the same protection as civilians who can go in there is a woman the

they don't expect secretary kerry to wrap up the deal but make some progress. >> jennifer thank you very much. >>> mrs. out of afghanistan a suicide bombing out of jalalabad. there has been a rise of is a side attacks as u.s. considers a troop withdrawal from the region. >>> a senior member of the pakistan taliban, latif massoud who claimed responsibility for the times square bombing three years ago. >>> drones are moving to your neighborhood to create a brand-new industry along with it. and college students in grease are forced out of their university. >> welcome back. in west virginia a logging truck has collided with a passengers train. the accident happened friday about 160 miles east of charleston at cheat mountain. officials say the train was taking passengers on a scenic tour through the mountains. one person killed 64 injured. cause of this accident is still under investigation. >>> rescuers are looking for survivors after a boat capsized 70 miles off the shore of lampedusa. boat carrying 200 migrants from malta. a week after 300 mieg rants drowned as they were approaching lampedusa. officials

mr. takkeyh, speaking of october, and we will know soon obviously, but what is it that you think iran's foreign minister is going to say to secretary kerry and secretary sherman? >> my guess is they're going to try to suggest, create a degree of cooperation with the iaea which follows up on the promise of transparency. i think they have been for a long time interested in selling 20% enrichment, and to some extent prime minister netanyahu will remiss in emphasizing 20% when the problem has always been enrichment at 3.5%, and that is taking place at industrial scale in the towns. i wrong in seven trying to sell the 20% for a long time, so i suspect they might table something about 20% exchange for sanctions relief, such as that may not directly involve the united states congress such as swiss accounts and so and so forth for some aspects of the european commerce. so you kind of come out of that meeting by suggesting some agreements have been made that deal at least with the outer perimeters of the nuclear issue. that would be on, my guess would be on the upscale of what they could offer. >> so back to what senator menendez was asking a min

kerry wears this when he is home alone though. do you know what i mean he? looks like celine dion's marriage to that weird hector guy. what is the deal there? looks like mr.slippers to match? matching slippers if you wear that? >> what do you get to the man whose wife gives him everything. >> bill: we ought to put this in some kind of context. this was economic cooperation summit where they all dressed up in little shirt so that the traditional -- they are pals now, they are bonding over the shirt. >> casey casem over his shoulder weirdest jammy party. this is like pillsbury doe boy. >> chicks. thank god. >> that's a traditional thai greeting. who is that? >> none of these guys are getting into saudi arabia.

mr. hathaway, money talks internationally as well as locally with the u.s. giving a billion dollars in aid and secretary kerry helping with territory dispute. what leverage do they have asking for these drone strikes to stop? >> in fact, we have very little leverage over pakistan. the amount of aid we have provided pakistan over the years in the abstract appears to be a pretty large figure. when you put it up against the pakistani need, when you put it up against the other source of assistance pakistan gets, it's really not very much. i think we seriously mislead ourselves if we think that a very modest level of assistance will buy us either leverage or love in pakistan. >> was this meeting that took place in the oval office just window dressing? >> it was much more important than that. there were modest expectations for the meeting ahead of time and i think fully met those expectations. no one expected historic breakthroughs or huge deliverables. it reopened chan else of communication, beginning a process which over time might actually pay some pretty important dividends. we won't know for some months or yea
