joining me now to discuss the problems in washington state i"" seattle times" reporter joseph o'sullivan. so we're all paying attention to the $100,000-a-day fine. that seems like sticker shock to a viewer or audience member but this has been a long time coming. how did we get here? >> so the washington state constitution says expressly that education is the quote, unquote, paramount duty of the state to provide for. a family sued the state, along with some school stricts and teachers unions saying that the state was underfunding. and it made its way to the supreme court which in 1212 agreed saying the state was unconstitutionally underfunding the school system. so the court imposed a 2018 deadline for the state to come up with more funding and fix some specific problems. >> sreenivasan: so here we are now, the courts-- the judges basically say they're completely dissatisfied. they're slapping this significant fine on them, but it doesn't seem to have caused the type of deterrent we think. in your reporting, you say some of the legislators say let's keep racking up the fines until januar

meghan o'sullivan and elliott abbrams, both top officials in the national security council in the georgebush administration. both national security advisors. meghan is professor of international affairs at harvard's kennedy school and abrams is a fellow at the middle east studies. peter beinart, a senior columnist and senior fellow at new america and cnn political commentator. i hope everyone is happy with that lead-in. so you begin this collection of essays on obama with a pretty favorable reading of his foreign policy, why? >> i think actually the president has done a pretty decent job on foreign policy. the way to consider a president's foreign policy record is to see him as a member of a relay race. and the fact is that u.s. foreign policy has been largely constant in its broadest outlines since the late 1940s, building a strong, liberal international order with democracies cooperating with each other. trading, nestling under a u.s. security umbrella. it started in the cold war and expanded in the bill clinton and george h.w. bush administrations. it got off track during the george w

tom o'sullivan joins me live from tokyo. thank you for joining us here on al jazeera. despite the protests, japan have gone ahead with this. was it the right thing for them to do? >> i think that there are several aspects to this. as you said, reactors have been off-line for almost two years. so japan has the highest, among the countries, it has the highest level of energy dependency in g 7 and oecd. it's the second after lux upburg. japan needs to improve its energy situation. nuclear helps to do that and reduces coal and natural gas imports. >> my problem with this is that we very clearly seen that japan is vulnerable to natural disasters. should they be relying on nuclear energy? >> right. well, i mean immediately after the accident a new nuclear regulatory authority was establish in japan. so, you know, they have implemented extremely tight security rules around the operation of nuclear power plants. so a lot of us here in tokyo are confident that there is a very high safety level compared with the pre-fukushima days. this new agency has an independent reporting li

not going to go beyond what the executive editor-- -- what are executive editor said in margaret o'sullivan's long column about this. just that this is a difficult question for me to answer. the sourcing on that story, we had high level sources across multiple layers of government. they told us the wrong thing. they were still telling us the wrong thing the next morning. you could say, well, we should have held the story. will, they told us the next -- they told us the wrong thing the next morning. it has been a difficult thing for the times. we did break the story originally, michael schmidt broke the original story. the clinton administration -- campaign, has held back very strongly. marty could talk about their you know stories this morning, which broke some ground. -- their email stories this morning. margaret sullivan is our public editor, not an editor at the new york times. although she is in the newsroom, she is an outside person hired to pass judgment on what the editors and reporters of the new york times do. it's not an internal criticism, she is an outside source. people sometimes

joining us now is jim o'sullivan, and doug codey is here, chief market strategist. >> i wasn't here on friday. i read the news, i watched a little cnbc. what does the fed do after the jobs report? what is the new betting arm if there there isn't a new betting arm? >> i call it the fed, the new maestro in a positive way, she's going to finesse this no matter what happens. i believe in september, she raises rates 25 basis points she catches it in dovish language, everybody goes home happy. and she's been doing that. she has been finessing this market in every statement since she became fed chair. so i think she needs to raise rates. and then it's go to be a shallow trend from there on in. but -- >> but my question, i guess, or where i'm really going to this, the earnings numbers seem lousy which would make me think september and maybe not so much? >> no, 215,000 in employment is more than enough to keep employment down. it's 1.8% per year which at one time was not very strong, given demographics but it's going to be 1% per year. the second trend is .115% for the year. the message is they
