according to other official united states sources, all of northeast asia, southeast asia, much of theacific and most of russia could soon be threatened by the latest north korean missiles. once they are available in the middle east and north africa, be within target range. on present trends, a direct set to american shores is likely to mature, if that is the right word, early in the next century. add weapons of mass destruction to rogue states and you have a highly toxic compound. as the cia has pointed out, of the nations that have or are acquiring weapons of mass destruction, many are led by strong men of inhumanity or by weak, unstable or illegitimate governments. in some instances, the potential capabilities at the command of these unpredictable figures is either equal to or even more destructive than the soviet threat to the west in the 1960s. it is that serious. indeed, it is even more serious than that. with a number of possible adversaries, each with different characteristics. in some cases, their mentalities differ from ours even more than those of our old cold war enemy. so

officials from the united states and north korea have met with their first nuclear talks since the death of their leader kim jong il in december. the two sides continue discussions on friday. the meeting took place in beijing on thursday. they spoke to reporters after the meeting. >> they haven't quite concluded and we intend to pick up where we have left off this evening tomorrow. >> he added the delegates would have dinner together on thursday. what do the u.s. and north korea hope to achieve in their talks. >> reporter: the u.s. is sticking to its stance that is the six-party talks can resume. but going into thursday's talks it seemed more likely u.s. envoy davys would focus on bilateral ties rather than have both parties just repeat their nuclear positions as in the past. >> i also plan to raise nonproliferation, human rights and humanitarian affairs and my hope is that we can find a way to move forward with the north. >> reporter: north korea tends to benefit from its nuclear position. its uranium enrichment program is hoping it brings in as much food assistance as possible. this is

[ applause ] i am paying an official visit to the united states at the invitation of vice president biden, and i have come to further implement the important agreement reached between president hu jintao and president obama and advance the building of a cooperative partnership between china and the united states based on mutual respect and mutual benefit. during the visit i had a meeting with president obama and held talks with vice president biden. i also had separate meetings with secretary of state clinton, secretary of defense panetta, speaker of the house boehner and senator reid. we have candid and in depth discussions on many issues. reached new and important consensus and achieved fruitful results. this afternoon after this function, i will go to visit iowa, which will be my second visit in 27 years. i am going to tell my old friends there that the golden keys presented to us by the representative at city hall 27 years ago symbolized the opening of local exchanges and cooperation between our two countries. and today there are already 38 sister pr

you, please, explain what the exposure of the united states, the american taxpayer, is to that -- that credit challenge that they have? >> well, in the official sector, the united states is a 15% shareholder of the imf. the imf is involved in programs for the three small countries that, greece, portugal and ireland. the imf does have a very good record of being paid back. they have a senior position in the -- in the debt of the, of those countries, and they are very much engaged in making sure that those countries are taking appropriate policies. the -- as i've explained in previous venues, the federal reserve has a swap line with the european central bank that is not an obligation of any european government directly. the european central bank is highly credit worthy. it is owned by the central banks of all the countries in the eurozone, and moreover, they give us euros as collateral. so it's a swap of currency rather than a loan, per se. they lend -- they lend the proceeds on to their banking system in dollar, and there are some important reasons for that. but just from an exposure point ever view, they take all the credit risk, all the inte

what is the united states' official policy right out towards cuba? >> the official policy in walaw is until the cuban government frees political prisoners, allows of democratic movements and political parties and very importantly come is no longer run by the castro brothers, that business witho abudo cuba. >> how you feel about that? >> i believe because the playing chess with castro and his basic philosophy that we had no choice, fidel castro is first and foremost, anti- american. his political upbringing was anti-american. it is almost as though it became a tactic to ensure an anti- americanism, but everything he did showed he did not want friendship with the u.s. when president eisenhower was almost obligated to cut the sugar quota, july of 1960 when we left, castro had the soviets. it was all a matter of time. >> we have diplomatic and economic sanctions with the country, and it will not change until the castro brothers are gone. >> president obama feels differently. there is a republican point of view, but i would say a democrat point of view. h

carrying out the assassinations of iranian nuclear scientists now the emmy kay is listed on the united states official terrorist group list for the group has been removed from the terrorist list of the u.k. and european union earlier i spoke to max blumenthal a writing fellow with the nation institute about whether the relationship between the mossad and the m e k is significant. and the reason it's significant is because these stories are tumbling out in the mainstream press in the united states about israel using terrorist groups terrorist proxies to attack iran to carry out what the federation of american scientists call terrorist attacks inside iran before this story we had a story by mark perry in foreign policy about israeli mossad officers posing as cia officers conducting a false flag operation to use members of the pakistani jungle a terrorist group to carry out assassinations inside iran kerry sources were absolutely solid his story was not challenged by anyone in the united states and now we have a story by n.b.c. and b.c.s. chief middle east correspondent richard engel quoting u.s. intelli

tonight, the ap reports that isreali officials will not give the united states any warning if it launches an attack on iran. u.s., which gives israel billions of dollars of aide every year believes any attack on iran would be a temporary setback to iran's nuclear program. >> do you or anyone you know take sleeping pills sometimes? well, tonight, kit tells us california researchers are saying there's a startling link between sleeping pills and death. >> could your sleeping pills kill you? the latest research from uc san diego says very likely, yes. the study took ten years to complete and is the most exhaustive of its kind. it tracked health reports of 34,000 people, half of whom took sleeping pills. folks who took them were dying in greater number than those who were not. 638 patients on sleep medications died rather 295 of people not on the drugs. >> after i thoroughly convinced myself that this was really there. was i willing to put my anymore on this paper? >> the coauthor stopped taking his sleep medication and says whether you take several pills a year or just one, your risk of death

and today is a pivotal day to have the top law enforcement official in the united states facing these questions when there are some on the committee who doubt that his department has responded in a way that they should. >> thank you so much. >>> the backlash over the susan g. komen race for the cure's decision to stop funding planned parenthood is reverberating across the country. she's three minutes away. hello, how can i deliver world-class service for you today ? we gave people right off the street a script and had them read it. no, sorry, i can't help you with that. i'm not authorized to access that transaction. that's not in our policy. i will transfer you now. my supervisor is currently not available. would you like to hold ? that department is currently closed. have i helped you with everything you needed ? if your bank doesn't give you knowledgeable customer service 24/7, you need an ally. ally bank. no nonsense. just people sense. i'm going to own my own restaurant. i want to be a volunteer firefighter. when i grow up, i want to write a novel. i want to go on a road trip. whe

>>> the united states army presents, the big picture. an official report produced for the armed forces and the american people. now to show you part of the big picture, here is sergeant stewart queen. >> today the big picture is presenting the story of a man who holds one of the outstanding military records in modern history. a great field commander, a remarkable chief of staff, a military governor without parallel in modern times. his career has had many phases. it has been long and glorious. above all, it has the glow of tremendous personal integrity. douglas mcarthur, general of the army, an historic figure in an historic speech before a joint meeting of congress. >> i'm closing my 52 years of military service. when i joined the army, even before the turn of the century, it was the fulfillment of all my boyish hopes and dreams. the world has turned over many times since i took the oath on the plane at west point. >> indeed, much has happened to the world since douglas mcarthur took the oath at west point and in the periods of peace since, he's be

united states or china? guest: i think that china at benefits the most in that vice president xi is introducing himself to the obama administration and officials and to the united states. i think longer term, most countries will benefit. i think we to see this as an investment in the u.s.-china relationship, as opposed to -- >host: we are seeing meetings with the president and vice president xi. it is clearly staged. there is not a lot of fireworks going on. this is more of a ceremonial greeting. guest: it is ceremonial, but it is also an opportunity for vice president xi to outline the next page of the u.s.-china relationship, assuming he does become president of china. we will be watching how he addresses some of the ongoing problems that we have, whether it is on the trade side of this, our trade relationship or military relationship. we will be watching the words carefully and understand where he stands at this point in time. recognizing that he is not yet the leader. he has to watch his words carefully. host: you both visited china in may. guest: right. april and may. host: tell us about your visit. guest: we were the first members of con

really understand how sensitive russians are views of the relations to the united states so ok along with the state officials you do me on your second day of arrival the opposition leaders and their current practice after ears of silence i mean surely you knew that probably wasn't going to send the best message out there well first of all the reason i'm here is that president obama sent me here when he wanted to continue the momentum of the reset knowing that this was going to be a difficult period because of the new more difficult issues we're tackling he wanted to have me out here on the front lines working to advance the reset with respect to the opposition meetings it's our policy it's called dual track and gauge where when president obama was here he spent the first meeting with president get a. government officials he spent the next morning in a very interesting and engaging breakfast with prime minister putin and the rest of his day he spent meeting with society leaders because there's been such a fuss about it all i'm asking is that how wise was it seen meet the people. yes and the opposition leader

officials right now are feeling bullied would be the best word. front page of the large daily newspaper here, israel to united states: you are helping iran. it doesn't get any clearer than that. over the past month or so, we've had a number of high-ranking u.s. officials come to israel. they have a very clear message to try to persuade israel not to strike. the defense minister for israel is going to the united states, same topic. in a couple of weeks, the prime minister is heading back to washington to talk with pram l ma. look at that, though, in context as a number of analysts have. over the past two years, prime minister netanyahu has won a lot of political points here in israel and with the jewish lobby back home by publicly defying president obama. so all the public lobbying by the united states could certainly backfire on the president because the last thing the israelis want to be seen at either in the middle east or the world and especially in the eyes of iran is as a u.s. pawn, and that's something that's going to factor into the decision making process. megyn: leland vittert, thank you so much. we are live at the white house bri

american officials tell congress senior leaders are prepared to carry outer orrist attacks in the united states. andrea mitchell has more. >> reporter: intelligence officials told senators the first warning was last year's alleged plot to blow up the saudi ambassador at a washington restaurant. israeli officials say another attempt, a busted iranian plot in bangkok to blow up the israel embassy. >> a plot in october did change i think the u.s. intelligence community's views as to what iran was willing to do here in the homeland. >> reporter: why would iran take a risk? it feels threatened. three weeks ago a fifth nuclear scientist was assassinated in the streets of tehran. economic sanctions are being to bite hard. israel's leaders are signaling they think time is running out this year to stop iran from getting a bomb. >> i ran must not be allowed to develop nuclear weapons period. >> reporter: only days ago the head of the top spy in israel briefed the head of the cia. >> israel does see this possibility as a existential threat to their country. >> this is a very sensitive issue we're doing a

united states. all of the business was done in the u.k. he, it is said by u.s. officials, arranged to move some factories, industrial factories from the united states by the netherlands to iran, where it's alleged that they could be used in missile components. he says he knew nothing about that. he thought they were just being used in the motor car manufacturing industry. he claims that he has been set up by a sting operation and he's an innocent patsy in all of this. nonetheless, the aunited states want to try him on these charges, and if tried and convicted, he faces a very, very substantial term in prison. >> a burmese refugee camp has been ravaged by fire, and it's resulted in the destruction of thousands of home after a camp was destroyed by the blaze. the camp has a 17,000 refugees from neighboring burma. bbc news understands there have been no deaths, but arrangements were being made for victims to stay at local schools and temples. got some extraordinary pictures to show you here of a rescue helicopter. that's quite appropriate given what we're about to see. this

american officials are concerned an israeli attack ka draw the united states in another conflict just as the pentagon works to bring the war in afghanistan to a close. although israel is still weighing options, a story by david ignatius in "the washington post "suggests the u i s. is preparing for the fallout from a strike. leon panetta believes the attack could come in april. he declined to comment on the post story. >>> we'll bring in chief foreign correspondent richard engel, what can you tell news. >> >> reporter: there is a mood in israel something could be coming, i'm in tel aviv inside a home of an israeli family and they were just showing me their bomb shelter they have in their home, all israeli homes built in the last 20 years have to have a safe room with reinforced doors, reinforced concrete walls and ceilings and putting gas masks inside it just in case. there is a concern that once again we could be heading toward a military conflict in the middle east. i've spoken to u.s. officials what they have been telling me is fairly similar what ignatius is reporting that there is

along with more than 100 members of congress and former senior national security officials probably advocated the united statesthe iran opposition group off the list of terror groups as the europe union has already done. and also joining me is -- with the endowment for peace. what do you make of the likelihood that iran may attempt an attack in the united states. >> that is a shift. remember, his -- iran is responsible for the barracks bombings in the '80s and they attacked cultural sites in buenos aires. they tended not to want to plan and plot attacks in the united states. we always believed that is because they feared retaliation. the plot against the saudi ambassador was a shift. i think intelligence officials, law enforcement officials are taking it seriously that they would be willing to take the risk to plan and plot such an audacious attack. >> there are some people listening to this who will say it is just an excuse to provoke fear in the united states or for a building a drum beat against iran. do you buy they might be willing to plot attacks? i'm skeptical, anderson, that the iranian regime after 32

only glimmer hope that we could make progress on disarming north agree so that is why the united states officials have been so careful to say we are not explicitly linking the food aid and the steps otherwise it looks like we are giving something in change for little. >>shepard: well, we are. >>guest: that is right, unfortunately, this is the third time or so we have given this kind of today aid and that is a humanitarian measure, obviously, and people in north korea are not doing very well under this leadership of the two kims. so, what we will need to see, i think, whether there will be more and the officials will be cautious making more concessions, absent significant process by north korea. >>shepard: good to see you, michael, i guess this is a development. >>jonathan: that is what the administration would say. would you rather have a small bit of progress or no progress? >>shepard: i don't know how much progress it actually have. foxnews.com/shep and click on the orange sunglasses and jonathan will be there and you can talk to him. romney add more delegates last night with a decisive win in

the united states is not being helpful enough in wiping out iran's nuclear program, the united states will help and i expect president obama to take this action will help israel. >> white house officialstinue to say that they are hopeful that the sanctions they have put in place against iran will punch them enough that they will change their behavior and maybe diplomacy will be able to solve this. that's going to be the president's message this weekend, shep. >> shepard: we heard from the u.s. defense secretary today he said we are in good shape he made it clear he doesn't want any budget cuts. >> that's right. he is very worried about that failure of the super committee last fall. that basically meant now there is this thing called sequestration massive defense cuts are going to kick in because the super committee did not cut other spending. leon panetta said that could effect a potential war in iran. take a listen. >> do you feel confident that we have the ability militarily to deal with the threat that iran faces? >> he yes. >> and if we implemented that sequestration that ability would be greater reduced? >> that would hurt us. >> this is yet another reason why there is going to b

i learned early on, by researching the official records of the rebellion, those volumes, those 128 volumes published by the united states government following the war that it contains the official records of the war. battle reports. you don't have to do a whole lot of research when you get in those and you'll find battle reports where a federal officer will report that his troops were fired on by black confederates. it's in the official records. so, it's surprising to me when i see some historians that say, oh, no, they were all in nonmilitary roles. look at the official records. another way to answer that question is to ask frederick douglass. the noted abolitionist, frederick douglass, obviously, not a friend to the confederacy. this is what frederick douglass said and he said it in 1861 early on in the war, not at the end of the war," there are at the present moment many colored men in the confederate army doing duty not only as cooks, servants and laborers, but as real soldiers having muskets on their shoulders and bullets in their pockets ready to shoot down loyal troops and do all that soldiers may do to destroy t
