persian persian is like a contrary dating back seven thousand years iran is is a popular name around the world amongst the nations yes there are several countries that are against us they don't they don't want to recognize the rights of the iranian nation yes of course. mr rouhani is the newly elected president or you know him personally what do you think of him. who is he is the president elect of iran is his respected by everyone and everybody will help him. so that he will be successful in managing the first of the country if the candidate you were supporting wasn't disqualified from the presidential race do you think the outcome of the elections would be different. that's definitely. why didn't you contest like you said you would his disqualification. but you know i hadn't said it before that i'm going to contest it or to objects to it yes there is a law and i just obey the law. i remember when you came to power you really came by the help of the masses you were the first president who didn't come by the help of the ruling elite and you positioned your presidency independent from

you had carrier groups just looking at the persian gulf and protecting the persian gulf in case somethingnd turned back. how long can they keep them there if this is dragged on in congress and the decision is not forthcoming? >> those kind of decisions, they'll make them as early as tomorrow, to figure out what ships need to be relieved immediately or what ships will be rotated in or out to take over. but it's clear that the current presence, five destroyers, will probably go down in the short-term. but earlier today, we heard the former commander general anthony zinni talking about how when these decisions are made, and when there's confusion at the top levels of not only an administration, but oftentimes the military, it's the troops down the line, the sailors, the airmen, soldiers, the marines, that get whipped around by all this, and it -- you end up with a serious morale problem. now, in this case, it's only been a really 10 days or so. and so if those relief -- if the relief can be made, and those ships pulled out and either be sent home or go into maintenance and crew rest as they'

during the first persian gulf war spiked up to an incredible price, $44, my gosh.t was the high for a decade. at that time we released oil from the strategic petroleum reserve. the price spike actually pushed us into recession and prices didn't achieve those levels for more than a decade. so more than likely the higher the price goes, whatever happens, the initial reaction is going to be to the downside and maybe very violently to the downside. >> neil: normally the move to the downside is built on what seems like a good ally effort. the first strike when president bush, sr., it was clear how much in control. last president, off to a great winning start. but then the -- whatever runup we had, ran down. >> right. you know what happens usually? you're going to get a selloff regardless because no matter whatever the worst-case scenario is, probably not going to be that bad initially, and then after the prices fall you get into an assessment, where do we go from sneer if it appears then that other players get involved in the conflict, then you start running the price b

he had become very interested in persian towers. it was the 1930's.s all about machinery and sort of this amazing architecture, very powerful architecture. he convinced the rec park commission that building a tower in her memory would be the thing to do with her money. >> it was going to be a wonderful observation place because it was one of the highest hills in the city anywhere and that that was the whole reason why it was built that high and had the elevator access immediately from the beginning as part of its features. >> my fear's studio was just down the street steps. we were in a very small apartment and that was our backyard. when they were preparing the site for the coit tower, there was always a lot of harping and griping about how awful progress was and why they would choose this beautiful pristine area to do them in was a big question. as soon as the coit tower was getting finished and someone put in the idea that it should be used for art, then, all of a sudden, he was excited about the coit tower. it became almost like a daily destinatio

england's football association says the heat of the persian gulf, up to 50 degrees celsius in the summer, would be too much for its players and fans. the qataris insist they are going to deliver the biggest event, whether in summer or winter. >> construction for the world cup might be getting on apace but there are serious doubts as to whether qatar can really host the tournament in the summer of 2022. that is so hot in qatar at time of year that it will be very difficult to play football. important, it is very difficult for fans. i think we have to fear for fans that are out in that heat at that time of year. >> with these concerns, alternatives are now on the table and up for discussion. >> it's going to take a lot of planning if you are going to change the location or the date. i think that will take a long time. but at least we should do it while there is still time to plan. theany warned that moving tournament to another location won't be straightforward from a legal point of view and that these suggestions are just wishful thinking on the part of the countries which were not picked

she's probably going to stay on station there in the persian gulf. she just did a port call in bahrain. but we have the "uss harry truman," the carrier strike group led by the aircraft carrier, that just was near cypress last week. it transited the suez, down the red sea, and was at last check near the port of aidan. we'll probably turn it around, send her back up through the suez again and into the eastern med. why is that important, andrea? because if you're going to hit assad and if he escalates against turkey, against jordan, against israel, you're going to want to have more firepower on station. now we've got air bases in turkey, weather fighters can deploy from. we've got a carrier air wing on the aircraft carrier that can be used to send sorties do syrian airspace. once you put a pilot over syrian airspace and given the capability of air defenses, you'll want to have combat search and rescue, helicopters and people ready to go into the water or on the beach. you'll want to have intelligence surveillance and reconnaissance, either drones or sat

new cable newschannel available to american viewers as of tuesday owned and funded by the oil rich persianulf state of qatar and sister network al jazeera. jim, some people used to call al jazeera jihad tv, how is it doing? >> it was hilarious to give americans in their first week lectures on how to reduce oil production and energy production here in america. almost like you think they were trying to give the advantage to the home team on energy production. look, it's an arab tv channel, period. >> they claim, judy, to have unbiased, fact-based in-depth stories. do they? >> we shall see. it's not clear yet. i mean, they didn't get off to a great start by having someone who was attacked by conservatives as being a kind of jewish and race-baiter. that sn't a great way to start. but i think we need something like that. we need a voice like that. they have a right to a cable station if they're hiring americans who are being fired from american networks, go ahead. let's see if they get any ratings. >> any questions, rick, in your mind about their funding or maybe their agenda? >> well, i think

envoys from washington, the european union, and persian gulf countries have been engaged in mediation efforts since late july. they hope to prevent a showdown between the government and morsi supporters. the diplomatic intervention was sparked by the government's decision to forcibly disperse the pro morsi protesters. the government said the mediation has not achieved the hoped for results. it blames morsi's support base the muslim brotherhood. interim prime minister said the government is set to disband protesters according to the will of the people. a senior leader of the muslim brotherhood told nhk the world is aware the government was installed through a military coup. he said there can be no dialogue until morsi returns to the presidency. the brotherhood is calling for another round of major demonstrations on thursday when a festival begins to celebrate the end of the muslim holy month of ramadan. observers say more clashes could erupt. u.s. secretary of state john kerry and eu foreign policy chief katherine ashton have released a joint statement expressing concern about the egyp

everybody else had been defeated or joined the persians.greece left, no west left, and yet he was able by sheer force of personality to galvanize what was left in the peloponnesians say don't go down there, don't give up, we can still defeat them with democracy. he had a different vision of greece. it was an ante spartan point of view. it not only saved greece from the persians but gave athens the influence after the war, the paradigm that people followed rather than spartan oligarchy. >> you mentioned matthew ridgway, who's the person who helped stave korean war from the disasters -- from the failures of general mcarthur. but matthew ridgway had an interesting nickname which i can't say but you can. how did he get that nickname? >> well he was called old iron tits because he wore a grenade on one breast and a medical kit on the other. it was the idea of being at the front with his men in a cars mattic, dynamic way. he was very unpopular at the time. i think americans owe him more than almost any other general. he saved something that was e

yesterday, we sent another warship to the persian gulf. this is just not a problem.will always have enough other things to go but we find ourselves challenged in our national security. we have all the money we need. i couldn't disagree with the senator more. it's fear mongering. it's not an issue. >> david: i don't know about fear mongering. he is basing it on real evidence. >> i don't agree. >> china and russia can make our lives miserable dumping the treasury. they can move interest rates higher. central bankers are look at the serious research finding that the dumping of treasuries can move ten-year yield higher because the foreign government own our debt. >> david: let me put that in english. you're saying important stuff but hard to grab hold of. we have so much debt je to sell the debt. that put us at risk. >> so if nobody wants the debt it spikes yield and interest rate higher. yields on the bonds. 100 basis point went with what we saw, after the foreigners started to dump the debt this past year. that negates the federal reserve money printing that we're doin

does have its main naval base in the persian gulf, and that is part of the reason why the united states is so reluctant to exert pressure on the bahrainis and their partners. that is part of the reason why the opposition is so critical of u.s. policies these days. >> what exactly is the opposition demanding? >> the opposition mainstream is demanding a constitutional monarchy, but there is a youth movement that has been protesting in some villages in the last months, which has called for toppling the regime, and that is part of the reason why the situation seems to be escalating for a wild already. >> how much of this is about sectarian differences, and how much of it is about democratic reform? >> well, it is both, although i would argue that it is mainly the government that is arguing in a sectarian way, and the shiite majority in the country -- they represent about 70% of the country, they want democratization simply because it would bring them to power, and that is part of the reason why both sides are somewhat unwilling to compromise. >> thank you very much for that. well, millions

recipe by the government is good at the guideline but it should not limit creativity like creating persianood and as a result also limit exports. >> for my opinion it's a very good idea because in europe we have many, for example thai restaurants or thai food which are quite different than here in thailand. >> reporter: thai delicious is in its early stages of developing nerve recipes but the government is already helping the project can help the thai food industry taste a stronger flavor of success. dhra dhirakaosal, nhk world, bangkok. >>> time now for a check on the weather. as we've been reporting people in many areas of japan are feeling the summer heat. meteorologist sayaka mori tells us more in world weather. >> hot weather continues across most of japan. yesterday the high rose to nearly 35 degrees in tokyo. it has been three days of over 35 degrees since the weekend in tokyo. like a steam sauna. as we have been reporting shimanto city in koichi prefecture 41 degrees has a high that is very intense this year. we have another high pressure system, tibetan high over the atmosphere. t

you may remember in the first persian gulf war in 1991, we fired 43 patriot missiles and after the war they went back -- they asked for 100, but they wept back to get those funded over and above, and i suspect that if in fact you do fire a lot of them you can go back and ask for some more. but really in terms of, you know, we have already paid for what we will probably use, and those destroyers out there cost us about $1.8 billion, and each of the missiles is about $1.5 million, and that's in a $500 billion budget. another good model is libya. the laboren invasion that lasted 70 days cost us only $1 billion over and above what we had in the regular budget. >> here is the interesting thing about red line and red ink, if you don't get your debt deficits under control in the near term, this kind of situation, a generation from now is something you can't react to, because you don't have room in the budget because you are paying all the interest, but right now there is plenty of room for the u.s. to do what it wants to do? >> right now there is. over ten years if you see a sequester, the pr

and, you know, already the american presence in the persian gulf has sort of pulled down. what it also does, bob, is it really eliminates any ability to do real long-term planning. so the idea of doing a pivot to asia and sort of reorienting the navy to be able to go do that, none of that can happen while you're spending a few years trying to just figure out how to stay afloat. >> schieffer: all right, we're going to have to end it there. i want to thank you all very much. i'm sorry to end on such a pessimistic note but that's where we. wiel be back in a minute with final personal thoughts. >> schieffer: michael ansera, the actor to played american indians and aliens died at 81. he will be remembered by many in his ""star trek"" role but i'll remember his for his earlier rollas at patchy indian chief. he and his then-wife barbara eden, were the first celebrities i ever interviewed. it was 1957. and they came to fort worth because he was guest starring at the rodeo. i was a 20-year-old college student working nights at a little radio station and was sent out to interview th

so this was the largest political military empire in the world at the time from the persian gulf to the atlantic ocean. and then they invade spain. continuously conquered spain because the muslims had arabian horses. spinners are still fighting on foot. they killed millions and pope gregory puts poker group of saudi police and they get 30,000 volunteers under charles martel, grandfather charlemagne and stops the muslims at the battle of tours outside of paris in the year 732 a.d., exactly 100 years after the death of mohammed x 32 a.d. this is the largest empire in the world and was a military campaign. they went from a radio to paris. it took 700 years and then they had slavery. and saved 180 million africans. they had slavery spurious entries before america was even covered and then they began to sell them to this race merchants that brought them to the underworld. and saved over a million europeans in their entire cast supporters called the trinitarian's. they would collect alms and donations and get your friend back who was captured. anyway, slavery was one of the main ways islam is

-- persian empire was surrounded by those labeled as barbarians.how did they fight? said they do not have organized militaries or the infrastructure of the roman legions they fought with a different style and ultimately they were successful. the fall of rome was precipitated by the invasion of europe by a fierce group of warriors known as the hunts there was a perception how the hunts fought in he said they're very quick in their operations exceeding speed and fond of surprising their enemies they reunite and again after having a loss of paul and the every status themselves always avoiding the intrench rick. now think about that description that sounds like guerrilla warfare to be and that is what the huns were practicing in my pushing the tribe is further west in good to the collapse of the greatest empire in antiquity. if there is a day the new under the sun they have been around longer than civilization itself in the fact u.s. army and marine corps in the french have to deal with today is unsurprising but i don't mean to suggest nothing has chan

the effort of a counter-revolutionary war instigated by the kingdom of saudi arabia qatar the other persian gulf monarchies ever since the arab spring broke out in late two thousand and ten and spread and there's a lot of these markets have been spending millions of dinars trying to push the arab spring away from their governments because they're hated by their party lately and trying to topple the elected government of syria the elected government of iran and to try to take people's minds off of democracy but for a second tone of living two hundred thirty years in the case of bahrain and and hundreds of years of the other cases of living under a single family rule of living under the monarchy and if the media in the west would focus on this then they would have to tell the british public and the american public exactly what we do know from the opposite perspective you have by sharia side and then you have half as a side it seems like there's also single family role there to. well you can quibble about the type of democracy they have in syria but at least they have a democracy and the king

i think we have to realize that their strategy is to their long term interest is to continue the persian state which as i said is three thousand years old one of the oldest it holds all the states in the world that you know aside from china for example right maybe india it's like there's nothing old there so why would they seek to destroy themselves with some kind of fanatical war against israel just makes no sense it's really clear to see who the aggressor is when you look at the timeline of aggression u.s. versus. iran and another one man's freedom fighter is another man's terrorist to wrap it up really quickly tell people where you can see your new show on line and check out more about you. yeah absolutely our show buzzsaw airs goes on you tube but you can check us out on the lip t.v. that's the studio the company that we sponsors and shows our stuff so buzzsaw is the name of the show myself. but the wallace we're trying to get some alternative media out there and you know what our team is doing is you know great job and we need more of it thank you so much stone actor writer director

president mr rouhani has said that he seeks to improve patient oh you so you really are but also persian gulf countries as well. and important steps can be taken toward that end to deescalate tensions and then if that is something that does end up taking place then these types of scenarios with overflights and sudanese militants. and this sort of new approach this gesture what sort of impact could rouhani then have on the current crisis in the middle east and in particular syria. personalities go a long way when it comes to diplomacy when you have people who are at the negotiating table interlocutors if you will that are going to listen to the principals of clumsy nations forbearance listening and as i said before that that helps build trust and dotcoms and there's very little chance of a diplomatic solution whether syria sudan or anything in between iran and its regional neighbors very little chance unless you can build that kind of harmony trust and that's something romney has said he seeks to do so we'll see how long it takes and we'll see how much effort he puts forward to that end a

to civilization versus persian countries etc..in iran obviously when we pulled iran they view their culture superior. in turkey they viewed over them is superior. in the arab world there is that sense of arab culture trumps my political differences with iran or my political support for iran so even among sunni and shia both these gets very strong attitudes of arab culture being superior. that is where i will stop and take any questions you may have.
