anywhere and i don't think they're intended to go anywhere it's just lip service if you look as mr obama's speech in two thousand and eleven where he actually mentioned the nine hundred sixty seven borders with some swaps it was intended for the palestinians not to ask for recognition at the united nations and after that mr netanyahu came to the united states and i'm sure your viewers would know that congress has far more powers or is the most powerful branch of the u.s. government he came and here dress the united states congress in fourteen men as he got twenty nine standing ovations in which he categorically refuse to recognize those boundaries and i think it's very important to understand that as long as there is an alley it that means every jewish person from anywhere in the vault can go and live in israel then israel is to continue to expand and is doing so at the expense of the palestinians with american money so no i am for the peace talks i think norman and with certainly no reputation of marching in. dick he worked for a pac then he started the washington institute for near east

mr. obama held a conference about its sessions and failures all through 2013. mike viqueira gives us a recap. >> reporter: with calls of reform coming from courts and some of his own advisers president obama defended the nsa collection of millions of phone records but today he left the program open to changes. >> it may be outweighed by the concerns that people have on its potential abuse. if that's the case there may be another way of skinning the cat. >> reporter: it asked directly if a plea deal could be struck with erik snowden, mr. obama chose his words careful. >> i its important to keep in mind that this has done unnecessary damage to u.s. intelligence capabilities and u.s. diplomacy. >> reporter: on iran, the president came out against the push for new sanctions leading democrats deified the white house joining some congressional republicans in a call to tighten the screws. mr. obama insists on giving his deal with iran a chance. >> in light of all that, i have said there is no need for

the europeans talk about this a great deal and even as for mr obama's position here when he was running for office in two thousand and eight he promised and undivided jerusalem to israel as its capital and even president bush has not said anything so outrageous and mr obama keeps on his administration and they keep increasing aid to israel it's not as if you know they're playing good cop bad cop but it depends how seriously you take obama. you know not long ago two three years ago at the state department even a science of money to middle east to memory middle east. media research institute which was founded by an israeli army the idea and it was to pinpoint anti-semitism i mean the israeli is their positions are so backed by the united states and the e.u. is their greatest partner trading partner if things are not going to change until there is awareness amongst the people around the world in america people are simply too ignorant they have been brainwashed they have freedom of speech but they don't have freedom of thought all the information they have about what's going on in palestine

implemented and as as as you said i mean mr obama will be gone the next president. and can easily overrule what ever he implements so the important thing is to have congress deal with this situation and congress is reluctant congress takes his orders from israel it does not serve the american people and to me this is treason this is betrayal and yes they managed to get away with it chuck schumer of new york senator of new york's thousands there on the guardian of israel is sort of standing up and telling the american people that he is there to serve them he says is the shore of israel the guardian and many other such senators and congressional members ok and they tell me let me live normal and i want to. know more than you want to react to some of their. well peter i'm going to quote someone who i know you don't like so much name me namely vladimir lenin. and one said that the sense of politics lenin once said the essence of politics is the concrete and now suits of a concrete situation ok and i think the important thing now because we're heading towards a historic

and mr. obama was then a brand-new united states senator from illinois. here was mr. obama's reaction late today to the death. >> we have lost one of the most influential, courageous and profoundly good human beings that any of us will share time with on this earth. he no longer belongs to us, he belongs to the ages. through his dignity and unbending will to sacrifice his own freedom for the freedom of others, he transformed south africa and moved all of us. >> pelley: president obama used the word modiba an honorary tightle that translates at father. major garrett at the white house tells us this evening mr. obama plans to attend the state funeral in south africa. that is likely to be in about ten days. nelson mandela will be remembered as a man who emerged from a tiny village to become a defining figure of our time. he was born on july 18th, 1918 in a village called mvezo. his mother named him holy sashava meaning troublemaker, but later a teacher renamed him nelson. he moved to johannesburg at 23, he became one of the nation's first black lawyers and joined the oppo

mr. obamaown for his distaste for trading horses with republicans or anyone else, called our forces home. now america returns to the prime minister's rescue. haven't we all seen this movie? the war in iraq cost us an systemed $800 -- cost us an estimated $800 billion and the tragedy is u.s. soldiers lost their lives defending an ungrateful and dysfunctional dark pit of the middle east. in afghanistan, mr. obama fresh from having his bluff called by the russians in syria, laid down another of his famous red lines, namely, that afghan president hamid karzai sign a bilateral agreement. this deal would provide for some eight to ten thousand troops to remain in afghanistan until 2024. last month while our troops gradually withdrew, the erratic mr. karzai called a meeting of the country's tribes to present the agreement. they voted yes. he voted no. he has more demands for the administration. this left the u.s. diplomatic team in another quandary. so mr. obama sent one of his chief enforcers, susan r

mandela you're talking about. >> and which mr. obama is mr. mandela as a tremendous humanitarian leader and so on. and he really was. but he was also a politician. and he also had to hold together a coalition, find the way to steer his country forward as the first black representative in that democratically elected government. in that way, they do have a great deal in common. you do see a very nervous and frightened group of white south africans wondering exactly what his presidency meant for them. and in some ways, you saw the same thing when mr. obama was on the verge of being elected. one other thing they have in common, we talk about mr. mandela serving 27 years in prison but we don't necessarily talk about why and what were the core issues there. they were dedicated to the premise of one person, one vote. so without that 1965 voting rights act, which is a direct product of the civil rights movement, mr. obama's presidency does not exist. they're bound together by that same issue and the activism that was required in order to make -

as mr. obamad team of pentagon flunkies fill the area with ambiguous talk about when the war will end. light footprint is an operative term. what exactly does that mean? repeatedly obama has said that u.s. troops will be out of the great game by 2014, next year, but he gloss over the numbers of troops who will remain. his front men now put the number of u.s. soldiers required for afghan duty far into the future as high as 16,000. did you know that a bilateral security agreement between mr. obama and afghan president hamid karzai could bind us to a troop commitment beyond 2014? the semiofficial date is 2024. great news for pandering generals, one of the many who have commanded coalition forces in afghanistan. dunford told "the wall street journal" that he's optimistic about the signing of the agreement because the trust building measures asked by the president are logical and good for both sides and not as difficult as portrayed. hardly a full throated endorseme endorsement. yet one of the many the

mrs. obama later got to meet with michelle obama and her daughters met there. it is interesting, the president's advisers said in his remarks, he will talk about how nelson mandela was a multi-faceted figure that almost seemed meant to be that he would become the man he was. it was actually decades of persistence and that there is something, a larger lesson to be learned, from the life of nelson mandela. >> he said his life was profoundly changed by nelson mandela. go ahead, charlie. what were you going to say? >> here it is the commission of the a.u. commission chairman, dr. zuma, who i presume will introduce the president now. i am struck by the wonderful colors you can see throughout the stadium. >> michelle obama said when she went with her daughters, the main thing she wanted to say was thank you for the work you have done, the legacy you have left behind and the way you have changed my life and my husband. i couldn't think of many -- the only thing i wanted to say to him, to impress upon him, was how grateful we were to him in this country as well. she sa

and of course the president and mrs. obama had their apartment up front. we're told they spent an awful lot of time on that flight together in the conference room, joining together to remember a man who changed so much. and we see again that crowd in the stadium. let's go to abc's terry moran there right now. lots of singing going on for several hours, terry. >> george, this has been an amazing morning so far. in a cold and soaking rain that as you can see is keeping down the crowd's numbers. but still streaming in. it has done nothing to keep down the spirits of the people here. it is impossible to describe, really, the feeling here. it's full of joy and pride. and what can only be described as a natural solidarity among all of us here. here to pay tribute to the life of nelson mandela. as you described, world leaders, they're shown on the screen from time to time. people roaring their approval as they see one after another enter the stadium. and this is a stadium that has just been filled with song. with music. the south african liberation movement was a

and so we ride along with mr. obama on his learning curve. it has been a slow and bumpy ride. bret? >> domestically the administration has its hands full with obama care. on the foreign policy front, there is a potential bump in the road with iran sanctions in that there is a potential bipartisan deal in congress to move forward -- >> brett, right. we are hearing tonight that senator lindsey graham and several republicans joined by democratic senators, among them chuck schumer of new york, senior man in the democratic leadership, will hold a news conference on tuesday to announce they will introduce a bill that will apply more stringent sanctions on iran unless they meet a set of conditions within six months. far stronger than any imposed so far and would resemble the shape of what they hope will be the final outcome of the negotiation. if the negotiation don't get us there, these sanctions would take effect. >> that is embarrassing for the administration. >> it would be, if they say it strengthens the administration's hands. and the problem is these sanctions might easily pass the s
