from a japanese prime minister here to the united states in nearly a decade, including a state dinner. president obama was able to visit japan and be hosted on a state visit last year and meet with prime minister abe. we believe that the u.s.-japan alliance is the cornerstone of our engagement with the asia pacific region. the president has made it a focal point of his foreign policy. making sure the u.s.-japan alliance is a key focus. i think it's a testament to how far our two countries have come. our ability to reconcile and also develop an appreciation for our shared democratic values. all of that, i think will be on display over the next couple days. the leaders will be focused on a number of important issues. on our defense and security cooperations and appliance right now there's a meeting taking place between our foreign and defense ministers that is focusing on how to update our defense guidelines. we are welcoming japan's increased role in the alliance. and really see this as a critical, if not historic moment in terms of moving forward with the modernization of our security partnership. eco

what do you make of obama's move to remove cuba from the state-sponsored terrorism list. there's an amount of opposition to this within the u.s. >> i think obama came to the right conclusion. it's a failure. it's 60 years of trying that has not produced any results. basically the united states politicalists take a realistic view of the situation, and those that are stuck in the cold war mentality, and the difficulty. unless there is progress then the united states will be increasingly more isolated from latin america. the last time it made it abundantly clear, and let's remind ourselves one of the reasons cuba came back is because the whole region took a robust attitude towards it. i hope that the congress has the sense of ensuring that it is taken off a terrorist list. >> there's a 45 day review where congress could make moves to block cuba's removal from the list. at the end of the day it has to approve the listing of the trade embargo. that will be a real hurdle for obama to overcome isn't it? >> that's what i'm saying. there will be very strong resistance to this. poli

bilatter meeting tomorrow and i believe it's on president obama's agenda to remove cuba from the tomorrow list before that meeting takes place. the state department has given a report to obama recommending that cuba be removed from the state department list of terrorist states, that cuba does not fit the criteria to be on that list. this is a prerequisite, and for normal relations that's the first hurdle to clear and i believe that obstacle is going to be gone before the end of this weekend. then there's the issue of simply opening the embassies perhaps secretary of state john kerry will actually go to havana to naught the new u.s. embassy there, that will be the big step forward in our relations and then there's a series of u.s. laws and programs, that have to be changed. u.s.a.i.d. programs, regime change programs against cuba and you can't have normal relations with a country that you are basically trying overthrow. so those have to change as well. but you know there's momentum right now ray and the summit is a big part of that and all eyes are on the u.s. cuban relationship this weekend in panama city. >> one of the closest relatio

laura: president obama will remove judah from the list of state-sponsored terrorism. another step in normalizing relationships between the two countries. this comes days after obama and castro met in panama. john, you are there in panama mixing with the cuban delegation. what does it mean, being kicked off the list of state sponsors of terror? john: they thought it was a slur on their name. and it is an important step to normalizing relations with the united states. castro had a long speech. he got to obama and said he is an honest man. a man that should be allowed to succeed. you can see there was a chemistry. it was not unexpected that this decision has been made. nonetheless it is hugely significant. it means diplomatic relations can't go on. we noticed the flagpole outside the u.s. embassy had been painted to fly the stars and stripes. laura: it means cuban diplomats can have bank accounts. john: the state of cuba can have american bank accounts. that presents commercial opportunities. interest rates will have a better rate. they can do transactions that will be co

over the weekend, john mccain blasted secretary of state john kerry over the deal and president obama has now responded. >> it's probably in black and white that the ayatollah is probably right. john kerry is delusional, and he came back in my view i think you're going to find out, that they had never agreed to the things that john kerry claimed that they had. >> when i hear some like senator mccain recently suggest that our secretary of state, john kerry, who served in the united states senate, a vietnam veteran, is provided exemplary service to this nation is somehow less trustworthy in the interpretation of what what's in a political agreement than the supreme leader of iran that's an indication of the degree to which partisanship has crossed all boundaries. >> nbc news senior white house correspondent chris jansing joins us live with the latest. and as we mentioned, the senate foreign relations committee immediately going to take up this bill marco rubio after his announcement heading right back to washington as this battle continues. >> yeah you can hear the frustration, right, i

with the clintons but specifically the administration rachel, this appears now that president obama's state department was available to the highest bidder. this is not just a problem for clinton. this is a problem for the white house. >> i think with the keystone pipeline that came out in the state department came out neutral or saying that the environmental studies would have little or no impact which would have been contrary to what the white house wanted to come out on that. so that may be also why there's a little silence right now and maybe they're a little ticked off about that. look. i think she's a pathological liar. a boat was written by the clintons, "no one left to lie to" and i look at my own life, whether it's a teen i'm dealing with or a politician who lies that much and that pathologically, you almost have to just take everything they say as a lie until proven otherwise. i know that doesn't sound very fair but in the case of the clintons and especially hillary who has had to make all of these sort of concessions in her life around her husband and these keeling dealings, i thi

anchor: let's move on to another story out of the united states where barack obama has decided to lift the designation of cuba as a state sponsor of terrorism. >> this is a very symbolic and long awaited move hailed in cuba from officials there ordinary citizens. they see it as kind of a healing move to end a decades-long insult to national pride. you can read about it in a cuban paper. this is another step in warming relations between the u.s. and cuba that started in december. it removes a major roadblock to establishing diplomatic relations. if you want to get the technical aspect of how this is being lifted you can read about it in the "washington post." basically obama wrote a letter to congress and congress has 45 days to consider cuba's removal from the list before it takes effect. it can't interfere with obama's decision without voting on separate legislation which the "washington post" says is up likely. anchor: and in the united states there is a lot of brewing over the presidential campaign that is getting unway. now hillary clinton still in the spotlight. >> there is a majo

[ cheers and applause ] let's get to some political news here. i saw that hillary clinton wrote an op-ed for a paper in iowa where she talked about her plans to help the middle class. middle class americans were like "why didn't you just say that in a speech." and she was like "because i charge $200,000." [ laughter ] speaking of hillary, a new poll shows that her support is slipping in virginia while jeb bush is gaining support. yeah. then again, how can a guy with the name jeb not have an advantage in virginia. sounds like a jug player in the country bear jamboree. take it, jeb!

an interesting fact this will be the first dinner served on the new president obama state china. >>> it's now 5:27. take a look at the scene right now live in baltimore where police are still standing guard in riot gear. we just learned about a new fire that's erupted in baltimore. angie goff is at the live desk working on that and will bring us new details. >>> taking a look now in the district now. it's a breezy and chilly start in the morning. and your next weather and ♪ when you just can't seem to escape... another sneeze attack... you may be muddling through allergies. don't get caught off guard. try zyrtec® dissolve tabs. powerful allergy relief, now in a tablet that starts dissolving instantly. zyrtec® dissolve tabs. muddle no more™. >>> breaking news in the wake of the baltimore riots. we got new video just in this morning as four buildings continue to burn in baltimore right now. we want to take you to the scene. this is along pratt street. you can see a lot of heavy smoke there in the air. anne arundel firefighters and crews on the ground. the battalion chief on the scene.

the flip side of becoming barack obama's secretary of state is she became part of the obama administration. of course, in the '08 campaign they couldn't have been farther apart personally, but now she runs as somebody who for four years crafted the foreign policy helped to craft the foreign policy of the obama administration. it raises an interesting balancing act for her. on the one hand she's in very good position on the democratic side. she doesn't want to do anything to mess that up. she wants to keep the party united behind her. break obama remains universally popular. however, his overall approval rating, it's in the mid to high 40s right now. there's a lot of people out there who are done with this basically. that's their attitude. at some point, hillary clinton is going to have to try to address those voters without alienating her base too much. >> so alex let's get you into this conversation. how closely do you expect clinton to align herself with the president? and does he want to be aligned? do you expect to see a lot of him on the campaign trail? >> well that's a great question

one thing we should point is the state department is recommending the obama administration remove cuba from the state list of terrorism. it is key to reestablish embassies in havana and washington. a lot of speculation this would have been taken care of by now. the president, when asked about normalizing relations with cuba on thursday dismissed the notion this is taking too long. >> in terms of the overall process of establishing diplomatic relations with cuba i think they are proceeding as i expected. i never foresaw that immediately overnight everything would transform itself. that suddenly cuba became a partner diplomatically with us the way jamaica is for example. that will take some time. >> reporter: one sign of the difficult work that lies ahead, a couple of fights broke out in panama city with cubans and dis disdants from the island. that is not expected to pose a threat. it is a reminder of the hard feelings exist on the island. >>> thank you jim. >> we have deadly storms across the midwest. we will tell you the damage that was done and what comes next right after the break.

obamas grossed over 496,000. the president's salary 395,000. they paid over $390,000 in federal income taxes. they donated to different charities and pay $24,000 in state to illinois. the obama's home state. >>> good news for college students trying to earn a degree. tuition will not go up at the pennsylvania state owned schools. this decision affects about 112,000 students who attend 14 state owned universities. tuition for instate students is $6,800 a year. >>> the federal government is minting a pretty penny off air travelers who forget to pick up loose change in a rush to get through security lines. many take the coins out of their pockets to go through metal detecter he is. all this led up to $674,000. a jump of $37,000 from before. >>> if you have a hunger for taco bell you may not have to make a run for the the border. the fast food ceo said they will be trying to out some form of delivery. he said it's the number one request for customers but it's still being hashed out. they are expanding into catering and it is could be expanded in time for football season. >> reporter: welcome back, everyone, 6:24 saturday morning why has it been so miserabl

obviously she was barack obama's secretary of state. she is a democrat in effect running for obama's third term, and we're in this situation after eight years of president obama, so how is she going to campaign? she cannot really cut herself off from barack obama. she's going to have to say remember how bad shape we were in 2008. we were so deep in the hole president obama has brought us a long way but we still have a long way to go and i think that's the way she's going to try to finesse her connection with the obama record. >> it's really funny to hear president obama say "my friend." isn't it it obama and valerie jarrett threw her under the bus the fact she's using her personal e-mail for secretary of state. >> they're likeable enough, hillary "my friend." i think what's important you saw some polls from some key states including iowa, florida and others ohio i think and they showed hillary clinton's trust, the trust worthiness to be rather low and i think what you're seeing and going to see with the e-mail scandal is news of a scanda

president obama stated -- trade agenda took a step forward.athing new life into trade talks with the pacific rim and your very u.s. companies are celebrating. there are people in the democratic party that may stand in the way. peter cook is here with more. people might have lost sight of what the transpacific partnership is about. let's remind everybody what that state. >> what's at stake is it paves the way and inject new life into these trade talks that are supposedly coming to a close. this is a giant deal for u.s. businesses and for the specific rim companies. 793 million consumers and 40% of global gdp. the projection is this deal what had $123 million more in u.s. exports per year. it would boost in i $77 billion a year. this is a giant deal. it makes that deal more likely because this trade promotion authority fasttrack means congress has an up or down vote on this remit area they cannot amend or change it to kiss is a huge win for the president and a big win as well for businesses. even service companies who want to do more business in
