nicholas burns joins me now.this is not your under -- not under your immediate purview but with your reaction to the news that white house has decided not to love the deal to go through? nicholas: i think it's a disappointing decision. from my point of view the united states needs to build up its energy infrastructure in north america, particularly with the canadian. it will make us a stronger producer of oil. it's a safer way to transport oil by pipeline rather than by rail. i think it would be better to approve the keystone pipeline. that's my own personal position. obviously you saw the reaction of prime minister trudeau in canada. he said he was also disappointed but he clearly distanced himself of the prior canadian government and say the u.s.-canada relationship is bigger than one issue. in terms of the strength of our country, our energy, i think it is a blow. david: talk about the symbolic significance of this project. he became a very politicized project for better or worse. here we are heading to the bi

nicholas burns is here, also a former state department official.me, sir. >> thank you very much, carol. >> how serious it this? >> well, this is obviously a very serious situation. whenever you have the russian federation and turkey at loggerheads, it's very serious for them, serious for the u.s. i think the first thing the nato allies at nato headquarters will ascertain, the facts. the turks have maps and have video footage that certify the russian aircraft did enter turkish air space. if that is the case, and given the fact that russians violated the turkish air space twice in the last month, and russian drones have, i think the nato alliance, including the united states, is going to have to support the turks in defending their air space. at the same time, obviously president obama is not going to want to see this crisis inflame. he'll work behind the scenes with both the turks and russians to make sure this is an isolated inciden incidence. the military pressure between the two doesn't ratchet up and you avoid a larger confrontation between turk

we spoke to nicholas burns who served as the u.s. ambassador to nato.from his post at harvard's kennedy school of government about this drama between nato and russia now. ambassador burns, welcome to the program tonight. >> thank you very much. >> this is really an extraordinary day. i mean, the sort of developments that who knew could have happened. first of all, president putin saying downing of russian jet over syria is stab in the back. donald tusk, the eu commission president in this dangerous moment after downing of russian jet, all should remain cool-headed and calm. from your vantage point as a former ambassador to nato, what do you think happened and what is going to happen? >> if the turks can convince the nato countries that the russian jet entered arpgs, i think nato will have no option but to defend the right. the president ard juan publicly warned the russian government more than 30 days about previous incursions into turkish air space, and they called into the russian ambassador to complain about syrian turkman villages. there's a history
