i spoke with prime minister erdogan friday night of last week. mr. prime minister, thank you for taking time out of a busy day to see me. i'm back in one of my favorite cities in the world. >> i thank you very much. i'm glad to meet you in istanbul. i'm very pleased we are able to meet here. >> much has happened since i saw you last. your party did well. what is the significance of that? >> it is a vote of confidence. >> the next election is for president. will you be running for president? >> and we will convene next week and we will consult. by mid-may, we will probably announce the decision. >> this has been an important week because of the statement you made on armenia. >> it is something i have said for a long time. every time that i have said this, i said it was the ottoman citizens that were armenian. people belonging to other ethnicities died in the event. i always said that it is very natural and it is a right for all of the cities to remember their suffering and we have to respect that. they were citizens of the ottoman empire, who were our

mr minister the pony up tended to exchange it for the phone from the little wooden ones demanding that sense it because we don't have a big digital images from a new line up. we have to set up on this in an emergency operation final. so speaking of this framework i believe that you advocate of creating a system here in korea that similar to the way it developed countries respond to similar incidents why a lot of cocoa butter. lincoln case. aunt kay henderson of an increment. the to you as mentioned in his son's friend will get to do it don't look to them as only the might of the coma is missing monday's operation scramble. so by setting up and implementing un mission in august when promote its just a quarter in usa citizen come on. he has bought into the community and the mass media. they know it the role earned a spot beneath the people of the outbreak go on mondays. i think it's one thing to believe that the current system we should also take note of the fact that the to cami and probably should be more aware of the fact they were all very vulnerable to natural and manmade disasters

prime minister. >> mr. speaker, try to your right there is a lot of history in this shouting because of course in the past with all these privatizations we had the shouting. over each of us look at labour's candidates and "the sun" of straw wants to give you. son of prescott wants to get you. it's the same families with the same message. it is literally the same old labour but that is what is happening. no, he asked about -- [laughter] he asked about taxpayer value. this is what the national order -- audit office said privatization has reduced taxpayer risk to support the universal postal service. this is a good deal for taxpayers because of this business was losing a built-in. it is now making money, paying taxes, gaining in value, good for our country but bad for labour. >> ed miliband. >> the post office is making a profit when they privatized. what we discovered today is one rule for the postal workers and another rule for the hedge funds. and mr. speaker, who rode these hedge funds? they've been very c

. >>> joining me now is israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu. mr. prime minister, we thank you for being here. i want to start with the fact that israel is involved in this annual commemoration this day of the holocaust. in advance of that, palestinian president abbas issued a statement calling the holocaust, and i quote, the most heinous crime in the modern era. he expressed sympathies for the victims of the holocaust. what do you make of that? >> well, i try to reconcile that with the fact that he embraced just a few days ago the hamas terrorist organization that denies the holocaust and openly call for a new extermination of the 6 million jews in israel. so president abbas can't have it both ways. he can't say the holocaust was terrible, but at the same time embrace those who deny the holocaust and seek to perpetrate another destruction of the jewish people. i think probably what he's trying to do is damage control. i think what president abbas is trying to do is placate western public opinion that understands that he delivered a terrible blow to

mr. prime minister. mr.resident, on the situation in ukraine and the russian sanctions that i know the united states and others -- i guess my question is why wait on sectoral sanctions as far as the united states is concerned. why not do that on your own now rather than sooner versus waiting for the europeans to do this because rrntdaren't you concerned that putin is using anxiety. quickly. there's a controversy surrounding some racially charged comments that an owner of the l.a. clippers made. i was wondering if you cared to comment on that and to the prime minister. the tpp has been generating some protests including one today. the chief concern being worries of higher costs of medical supplies in particular. i was wondering if you could comment on those protests and the concerns that somehow you're being bullied into the tpp by the united states. do you feel that way on that front? thank you. >> okay. first on ukraine. in consultation with our european partners. we've determined that because russia has fa

mr. minister, how are you? >> i'm happy to see you later.ust doing my walk about. >> reporter: we've requested an interview many times. with that, the man heading the hunt for missing flight 370 is off. the defense minister and acting transport minister is hosting an international arms fair. from helicopters to tanks to guns. reporters invited along. some questions apparently not so welcome. you don't have to push. as his tour continues, his aides advise us to wait for his press conference. that's good, because the question just refused to answer, when they told civilians they picked up flight 370 on their radar, is a contested question. precisely when did the military inform the department of civil aviation about what they saw on the radar? >> i said earlier -- >> reporter: no answer, then. he doesn't want flight 370 questions. buts a the conference continues, it turns out some flight 370 questions are okay. >> tell us, are you any closer to deciding who will extract the data from the black box? >> yes, we are getting closer to that issue.

mr. prime minister, this is what the chief negotiator for the palestinians had to say. quote, mr. netanyahu and his government were using palestinian division as an excuse not to make peace. now, they want to use palestinian reconciliation as an excuse for the same purpose. this is utterly absurd. the only logical conclusion is that netanyahu's government does not want peace. >> well, you know, they can do intellectual somersaults from here to eternity, but doesn't change the fact they chose to make the pact with the people committed to our destruction. and that doesn't square away with peace. you want to make peace, don't embrace terrorists who want to destroy the state of israel. and there's no two ways about it. they can talk -- they can't talk their way through this. it's a blow to israel, a blow to peace. i think, bret, it's a terrible blow to the palestinian people. because they must choose, too, whether they want to go forward or go back ward. yesterday, with the pact with hamas, the palestinian people went, took a huge step back ward, away from peace, away from a good futu

mr. prime minister, has been prior to this when you were dealing with abbas, you said, look, i don't knowo i'm supposed to negotiate with. there's hamas and then there's abbas and fatah. so now there's a unity government and you still don't want to talk to them. there's criticism here that this was an excuse for you to walk away -- >> sorry, candy. whoa. >> go ahead. >> no, candy, no. i'm sorry. i heard that. i hear people write that. in fact, it's the very opposite. i said right from the start, i sarksd i could wait until president abbas represents the entire palestinian people. but in this case we'll wait until eternity and we won't have peace. i chose deliberately, openly, specifically, to negotiate with that part of the palestinian people that said it was willing to make peace with israel. i said we're not going to try to include the other part that seeks our external nation. that's what i did. i've been very consistent on this. now that he's joined them, i say this, look, unity for peace is good. unity with hamas that seeks to exterminate israel is bad. i've always been consistent on

minister. jeremy corbyn. >> question number one mr. speaker,. >> thank you, mr. speaker. mr. speaker, this morning i had meetings with ministerial colleagues and others, and in addition to my duties in this house, i shall have further such meetings later today. >> jeremy corbyn. >> is the prime minister of where not this time in britain come in england 3,956,000 people are in the private renters section? the organization rand finds two-thirds feel secure, half of them think they pay far too much in rent. does he not think it's time to end the social cleansing of the inner-city britain by bringing in the proper rent regulation with a fair rent formula and regulation to get people security and piece of mind where they live? >> where i'm sure he and i would agree is the need to build more houses including houses in the private rental sector. where i think is wrong is full on rent controls been tried in the past. tended to destroy the private renting sector, driver go back to the state sector increase the quality of housing as a result. >> in the week when the right honorable frie

mr. putin, the prime minister, the most important decision maker, but still the decisions were based uponthe relationship between those two younger presidents. when it became clear that mr. putin was going to come back into the kremlin which coincided with the demonstrations in the fall of 2011 against mr. putin and the elections which they said were falsified, that, that was really a breaking point. mr. putin blames the united states. since then i think the relationship has been on a downward slide. this year, of course, we have the episode with mr. snow. now we're at a point where we are working together and have to work together in syria, but where president obama himself has said we have to take a pause and reconsider how we want this relationship to move forward. president obama is already a lame duck president, and i think mr. putin understands that. >> host: when we talk about democracy promotion to one problem in my view, at least, with the russian government, more broadly with the russian political elite is almost no one believes in american sincerity. it goes back, as far as i a

mr. prime minister, how would you like me to refer to you at this session? >> tony. >> all right. >> michael milken captures the spotlight. but decades ago he helped pioneer junk bonds and was dubbed the junk bond king in the 1980s, because of the fortune he made from it. in 1990 he pleaded guilty to six charges, and paid $600,000 in fines. he was sentenced to ten years in prison, but was released after 22 months after cooperating with the government. then prostate cancer changed everything. he fought the cancer and became a key figure in raising awareness, and poured resources into research. by 2004, fortune magazine called him the man who dhanged medicine. he ranks 705th amongst thing forbes list of bill theirs. just last month and he media magnet donated $80 million to george washington university for preventative medicine efforts for a host of conditions. >>> this is the 17th year of the milk eninstitute of global conference. they come together to try to solve the world's economic challenges. earlier i had a chance to talk ju min, who is the former deput

mr. prime minister, is difficult. and you should know, as i told you at the outset, you will not walk this road alone. we will walk it with you. >> bring in gloria borger, our chief political analyst. you cover the vice president for a long time, pretty strong words for him. >> the message was clear. he also said, this struck me, he said no country should be allowed to behave like an armed bandit, which is essentially what he's calling russia. i think the question we all have here is whether the united states at sam poiome point is go compa come out and say russia has crossed some sort of a red line, to use that phrase we've heard in other foreign policy situations. >> syria specifically. >> syria. after all, a deal was signed in geneva that was supposed to defuse the situation. you talk to american foreign policy folks, they have absolutely no confidence that the russians are doing anything but escalating the situation. so while the vice president right now is calling for restraint, he says this process is not open e

mr. prime minister, but no nation, no nation has the right so simply grab land from another nation.nation has that right, and we will never recognize russia's illegal occupation of crimea, and neither will the world. >> barnaby phillips joins us from kiev now. and we heard some very strong words of support for your next question from the vice president there, but has he promised enough to satisfy kiev? >> to a certain exsent. obviously the rhetoric is welcome. the government is beleaguered, weak. it needs friends, they don't come more powerful than the united states. but at the end of the day joe bide sen going to fly home, and ukraine is still going to have to live with its very powerful awkward neighbor russia. there will be financial assistance towards those crucial may elections, but really people here were hoping for military assistance. that is what they believe their country needs in the face of essentially an exsa sten shall threat. and the americans are restricting their military assistance to non-lethal aid, communications, uniforms and so on, and there was no situation th

mr. minister, could you tell us you're asking for $20 million for your budget this year. is that right? >> 20.1 billion. >> 20.1 billion. okay, how much of that is disaster assistance and how much of that is long-term country building a? >> well, sir, it depends on the accounts and one thing that we have tried to do is use disasters the instance of longer-term systemic developments on the philippines. we have the energy system and the water system back up and running and we do that using a combination of the saucer funds and developmental assistance. but in general the humanitarian accounts are the international disaster assistance for peace and another of other accounts and they probably total may be 4 billion, three to 4 billion in total depending on which accounts. >> about 20% would be disaster assistance of what you're asking for in the budget. >> i would not state it that way, but we can come back and be precise about the answers. but yes, it is a portion of the $20 billion. >> let me just say that i believe that the american people are not stingy people and we have our own heart

mr. blair u.k. prime minister. there is this guilt. they are the ones who were in government.cause of that sense of guilt, i think they are not yet through. they have been helping the rwanda president who is today the one who has killed as many killer ofe highest the 20th century. it is also writing his aim in the 21st. -- he is also writing his name in the 21st. >> we have had george w. bush sends him and now barack obama. -- since then and now barack obama. >> i would say that the u.s. government so far has not yet done much. >> we haven't done much? >> you have not done much. we saw president clinton apologizing with his sense of guilt, excusing himself in a weak position. we saw president bush -- actually, he did a lot. he listened to our messages. we had an opportunity to meet with him. myself, i met with him twice. in that time when we brought the rwanda situation to the table and talked about it, what followed was the fact that the president of rwanda was no more received at the white house that he used to be received with a red carpet. that changed. it was barack obama

mr. prime minister, have you made any commitments to the united states government about your efforts in the future to address the issue of political reform here in malaysia? thank you. >> first of all, major, i think it's important to note that there's not a meeting i have around the world where issues of freedom of the press, human rights, civil liberties aren't prominent on the agenda. and that includes my meeting with prime minister najid. when you say these issues are up for grabs in malaysia, i think that implies a judgment about what's happening here in malaysia that may not fully respect the progress that's been made by prime minister najib. the fact that i haven't met with him myself is not indicative of our lack of concern given that there are a lot of people that i don't meet with and opposition leaders i don't meet with. and that doesn't mean i not concerned about them. but what i have shared with the prime minister is the firm belief that societies that respect rule of law, that respect freedom of speech, that respect the right of opposition to oppose even when it drives you cra
