foreign secretary is touring countries in the region trying to sell the message to leaders of this region that the recent deal between the u.s. and iran on the nuclear issue will only make the region safer. they are about to begin speaking. let's listen in to what they have to say. >> discussion today with the ministers of g.c.c., it was a strategic dialogue between the council and the united states, and we have addressed too many issues which interest our countries and we heard from john kerry about the details the agreement with iran and five plus one and we congratulate mr. john about the effort, the big effort which he made last year to reach this result, this choice was the most appropriate among other choices which will sort out the iranian nuclear weapons and this is due to the big effort, which united states made and the alliances. we are quite confident about what they made which would make this region statement and weapon discussed in our meeting the results of camp david and the work of the joint committees which are six and we spoke about all the areas which should share with

leadership and presence in the region. it would be ironic, but not historically unprecedented, that a diplomatic agreement intended to decrease risk of conflict actually increased those risks instead. all of us hope that will not be the case now. but it is the job of the defense department to be ready if our highest hopes fail us. and i fear there is much work to do. i welcome the witnesses, senator reed. >> thank you very much mr. chairman. your appearance before the committee comes 2 weeks after the news that after 20 months of negotiations with p5 +1 that iran agreed on the company has a plan of action. the agreement and your position on it is historic and is lamented scrupulously in the world relations with iran for international nonproliferation efforts and for the political dynamics in the middle east. i commend the president and his negotiation team for their persistence and hard work. in the weeks ahead congress has a solemn obligation to carefully review the details of this historic agreement and independently val

what do you think it needs for the region? what do you think it means for the united states and our allies? >> well, i think american leadership by in large has been passive and disengaged from the region, and it has endangered our interests, our allies. ed has embolden our our adversaries. china and russia are more adventurous. them issomeone new to our relationship -- the europeans haven't been capable of asking that people will suffer in terms of national security for close to 30 years. they have understood the european feckless leadership. ishink what is new to them the degree that american leadership has stepped back, and they are clearly taking advantage of it. i'm not hopeless about this issue, because i think we have -- we have been here before many times. american leadership is the defining experience . we understood -- we started with a leader who understood what he wanted, and he was fighting that conventional military that was the best in the world. it took him seven years but we eventually beat it back. i'm talkin

which is to dominate the region. that is a province of two leaders, one is a supreme leader, executives qassem suleimani who is execution arm exclusively. the rest of leadership is not involved in any of that. and that is the simple way to understand what is truly taking place. so given the scorecard that has been achieved as i mentioned before, it's indisputable that they have had significant measure of success. and the two of them enjoy the success. >> china, you were speaking before about the sort of moral core -- general -- a different things that churchill understood and that margaret thatcher understood as well. where they could see which things were tending. if i can ask you which way do you think this is painting? what you think it means for the region? what they think it means for the united states and our allies as well speak was i think american leadership by and large is impassive and disengaged from the region, and has resulted this endangered our interest, it's endangered our allies. it has emboldened o

. >> these are regional battles, regional actors, regional bad guys. up? >> there is no way in hell you can destroy i.s.i.l. without a substantial american component. >> it starts off as local but they're building an international network. >> we need the international help. we have to remember iraq become such a way because of the occupation. >> we are what we are. we fought alongside al qaeda. >> we have to deal with the consequences. >> we have fawaz, author of i.s.i.s. a short history. >>> and ubay shabanda, annal advisor with the syrian coalition. why hasn't the arab world defeati.s.i.l? >> what certain muslim countries have done, no doubt we have to also look at the question of who does i.s.i.l. target? according to the united nations data those released in the report last year, the overwhelming majority of those killed by i.s.i.s. are actually muslim. we're seeing bombs in mosques, sunni muslims are being targeted by i.s.i.l. >> why haven't they done more? >> they are doing a lot more than people realize. let's look at islamic organizations in the re

we have agreed to engage in very specific training to upgrade military capacity of the region, and to integrate it more effectively. but particularly to work on special forces training. because that is much more effective in dealing with some of the real threats that people face on day-to-day basis. we agreed on intelligence and intelligence sharing the flow of people, agents, proxies who come to stir up the population in various countries or actual extremists fighters, individuals who come to blow something up or engage in smuggling, we're going to engage in a very robust intelligence sharing program. we agree to talk about how to integrate the regions ballistic missile defenses based on some of the activities of other countries. the possibility exists of a much more effective deterrent and much more effective response through an integrated capacity. we talked about the realities of increased numbers of exercises that will be conducted together as well as a significant upgrading in the ability of maritime interdiction which prevents the flow of weapons and people. those are a few of

this is reassuring to the region.e that we are going to have a kind of a ban of nuclear weapons not only to iran, but to all the middle east. >> woodruff: before his stop in qatar, kerry had been in egypt. he skipped israel, where prime minister benjamin netanyahu has been outspoken in condemning the iran pact. >> ( translated ): the deal permits iran to build as many centrifuges as it wants and to enrich as much uranium as it wants, which means that iran could break-up in a decade or so to dozens of nuclear bombs in zero time. >> woodruff: defense secretary ash carter did visit israel last month, but netanyahu was not mollified. the israeli leader plans to address american jewish communities in a webcast tomorrow. meanwhile, kerry travels on to east asia, where he'll focus on concerns about china's pursuit of territorial claims in the region. we take closer look now at the reaction to the iran deal in the middle east. i'm joined by former jordanian foreign minister, marwan muasher. david makovsky of the washington in

it's a mountainous region. it has been missing for about four and a half hours at this point. they were 33 minutes into the flight when they lost contact with this plane. and as we understand they are not going to start a search or resume a search until tomorrow morning because it's dark there. >> let's get the latest here from kathy novak. what do we know about this search and when it will resume? >> we're hearing via our affiliate cnn indonesia that the transportation ministry has confirmed that the search has been suspended until morning, because it's dark. they lost contact with the plane at 2:55 p.m. local time. as you say that makes it about four and a half hours that it has been missing. now they're saying they're not going to be able to start searching again until the morning. they're saying there were no reports or indication that there was a distress call from the plane. and the ministry is in contact with the airline and a team is on its way to the region. >> let's take it to david soucie, who is our

in the region. the density is continue to rise in the region. really with all nuclear plants or thermal power plants it needs to be located near a source of water so they are in the coastal regions, china, korea, and you see japan on the right-hand side. sister reactor at the site, will probably start next month or next couple of months or so. we'll see what happens with other reactors. as far as nuclear generation in the region, and it's important, all three of these states are really tagged nuclear power as vital for their energy mix, for various reasons. energy security reasons, climate reasons, even maybe greater strategic reasons, reasons if you want to discuss that as well. but particular japan and south korea being very poor in domestic natural resources. nuclear the way to grantee their natural resources. 30% of south korea's power came from nuclear. big zero for japan. japan was at 30%. china has a few percent of it overall, but again with the size of chinese market it's hard to get to that

a ct capability for the region. the president has said he wants to be a regional player. so we look at that as well. say has come on strong to what role can we play after resolute support? so defense ministerial's and the foreign ministerial's the last couple of months, the past couple of months we brought together the equivalent. all the countries that came out loud and strong to save they want to continue to contribute to the future and. the way they have gone about that is in these assessment. we assess what do they need to years from now back to what areas? leadership is an area they of all caps about. maintenance, aviation, intelligence. i think you will see nato, on board as we continue to work through that and continue to apply different country resources. willing totners are stay longer even then currently planned if need be? general campbell: i think they're waiting to see where the u.s. is going to go. every day we are assessing that. i hope that my senior leadership anthe end of the fighting assessment of where we are, and i think they thought that, we will mak

in the days of unrest in the region. mr kelly, during this dialogue, how did you confirm the differences and how did you address it. you know, the - in one hand the aid, and taking with the other hand. this question. this question reflect many issues. this reflect a lot of things. things. olympics will start to test the water was rio that will be serving as the waterways for olympics 2016. >> with the famous sugar loaf mountain in the background, this ..to a very good relationship. which is displayed especially in the military cooperation between egypt and the united states. the other equipment and goods against terrorism, and the increase of border cooperations, and also additional training any united states will be participating in it, will be different training which would be offered to the security and military forces of egypt. there's a lot of engagement since we discussed to date. even the economical side of it. it was a state, a director aid to egypt. and so many business people came in, business people coming int

they accuse iran of backing their shia proxies and interfering in the region. accusations dismissed by iran which recently called for more cooperation with its neighbors. russia could be the country to bridge differences between iran and it's arab neighbors. foreign minister said minister sergei lavrov said that they could put an end to the long running war in syria and increased fighting in yemen. >> the policy of the united states with respect to syria is clear. we believe that the assad regime long ago lost legitimacy in parts because of the regime's brutality against the syrian people themselves. and that has been a magnate for foreign fighters. drawing them to syria fueling the rise of daesh and other violent extremist groups. and since there is no military solution to syria's challenges there has to be a political solution. >> the u.s. said that iran's nuclear deal is a good one but leaders feel the opposite. their biggest concern is iran building strong ties with the west and repositioning itself as the most powerful country in the ring. saudis have warn

my worry and the worry of others is that it may worsen enron's regional behavior. -- iran's regionalavior. they will have to correct that with regional alliances that are strained in without restraints. katty: thailand has really cctv images of a suspect of a bombing at a shrine in bangkok. among those killed was a 19-year-old british's student. many people witnessed and filmed the bangkok bomb. none more dramatically than this. it was taken by chinese tour is to then runs and panic. among those who lost their lives was 19-year-old vivian chan, a british law student who was visiting thailand. >> she always had a smile. fore was at school with her two years in hong kong. he remembers her lovely and upbeat personality. it won her a wide circle of friends. >> our entire class, we would expect her to live the longest. she was happy, you know, healthy. the incident happened, and things changed. >> the survivors of the attacker being treated in 22 hospitals across bangkok. are beingattack treated in 22 hospitals across bangkok. more seriousare than hers, they were leaving the shine togethe

and the general sentiment is with long running conflicts of the region i.s.i.l.is expanding in parts of the gulf region and this is something that everyone wants to come to an end. >> reporter: let's leave it there and come back to you when there are more people in those seats. as you can see people are milling around but clearly an important meeting underway here in doha. controversial politicians due in court on monday and already has a hate speech conviction and,000 faces charges of racketeering fraud, corruption and money laundering. and we are outside the court. what happened? >> well jane it was to begin with a very slow start to the day only to have this matter postponed at the high court here as one of the coaccused in the corruption trial was in prison in court and apparently taken ill and that was last week. defense presented a medical certificate to the court saying he would not be available for three weeks and following the adjournment he addressed supporters who congregated just outside the court explaining that he wants his day in court. he wants th

secretary of state is touring the region to try to calm fears about iranian influence. let's speak to a professor of middle east poll is particulars and international relations at the london school of economics. good to have you with us. let's start with the secretary of state's visit first of all too egypt. do you think it underscores the message that it's business as usual as far as the united is concerned with the egyptian government? >> i think that's a correct definition of the american stance towards egypt. i think the obama administration has come to terms for the political receiptses in egypt. it has renewed its economic and military cooperation with egypt. it has delivered equal tative weapons, including jet fighters to egypt even though, i mean, secretary of state john kerry practice pleaded with the egyptian government to extinguish between peaceful expression of terrorism and terrorism. i think the reality of realism has triumphed over human rights and the rule of law and the u.s. appreciates the political significance of egypt. it's business as usual pleadi

this means consensus and regional powers, global powers. they need to sit and talk and have common interests which the kurds and turks have. it is an enormous amount -- they are very good close relationships and i have to add for example that barzani is really angry with pkk right now and as you said they are different groups. but i think the kurdistan regional government is a good example for us to understand the ways we can achieve stability and i think that's why the peace process in turkey with the kurdish and the kurds is so important because it will help fighting the islamic state but not only with military means but with other political means and this is of great importance. peter: alan, i'm very anxious to hear -- ines was cautioning that there is not one great big curd but if there's one thing they want it is their own self-determination. should they get it? turkey would oppose that. mr. erdogan would oppose that. mr. posener: it depends what you mean by self-determination. if it means having their own state i would sate no, it wou

it's going to hurt the regional economies. two years ago, morgan stanley had its "fragile five," which included the real now -- the ria l, the rupie. -- the rialeal, the rupiah. now we are calling it the "troubled 10," we expanded it, not morgan stanley. the thai baht, the taiwan dollar, the singapore dollar, the korean won, among others added to this expanded troubled 10. synonyms that t could go with 10. terrified. the alarm bells are ringing in malaysia. we are watching the ringgit on its steepest slide since 1990's -- since the 1990's. let's cross over to sophie right now. what's driving this decline? as you and steve were just saying, it has not been a pretty picture for emerging-market currencies. the ringgit has seen a steep decline, the worst since 1998. the ringgit this morning extended losses, tracking the weakness in crude prices down about $41 per barrel. malaysia is a net oil exporter. byhave seen net selling foreign investors, $3 billion longestar to date, the back to back selloff since the 2008 global financial

in the region is unacceptable. terroristsot good and bad terrorists, it has all got to stop. that was the second message we heard from india. andrew wilder: i think we got pakistanssion it was controlled, afghan led peace process. in both points, we tried to be as transparent in consultations, and working closely with the secretary. i have done to india several times a year for years, .ncluding was recently in may we tried to ensure that they have every bit of a sense of what is going on as we do. expressed their great skepticism about it. but i think the more that we can demonstrate what we believe is occurring, what we believe is incentivizing it and how we think it is productive, ultimately for the long-term stability of the region, that this is a zero sum game. isn't pakistan versus india or vice versa. clearly the message i know --rorism of any kind is one the message of the know terrorism of any kind is one they know about. andrew wilder: one more question for steve. i was wondering if you could comment, but

if you're traveling around the region, 72 by 9:00 a.m. maybe a little bit dapper in parts of the region, especially south. 80 by noon, the high is 83 degrees we'll hit that around 3:00 p.m. with the sunshine remerging. severe weather around the county parts of the gulf coast a few blips out west. if you're getting out of town on vacation on early flight all green aircraft our most commonly traveled destinations early on. karen rogers what about the roads and rails this morning. you're dry on the vine. light volume if you're heading on the vine you're looking good. on the bicker no big issues on the schuylkill expressway or i-95. we have another concert at 8:00 p.m. susquehanna bng bank center. there's an accident twin county road between popular and ash. jenkintown road between greenwood and cedar road watch from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. it will be starting with the construction. stick with township line road. this will last through the year with water replacement. >>> police are looking for a young woman wanted fore gunning down an 18-year

there have been people in the region for millennia. it is unknown who first reached , but weof pike's peak do know the first recorded 1820 by a man by the name of edwin james, and edwin james was a botanist for another expedition that followed, and in the he summited summer on a nice, summer day, the mountain was briefly named for him, so for a while, it was named james peak, but pike's e fforts, pike's journals were better known, so they could not shake that name, and so he is moved to a lower mountain. it remains named pike's peak today. little known, we are trying to change that are trying to study it. he has not had the benefit of lewis and clark, the scholarship. his expeditions were not directly authored by thomas jefferson, the way lewis and clark was. but we think that he is a very important figure in the era of western expedition and exploration, because he is the first to really create a visual image of the american southwest. a visual image through the words that he wrote, the journals that he compiled, and the fact that he

of what is going on in the region. it was early this last spring when i, like everyone else, was a witness to the chaos unfolding in the region i attempted to cover. there were multiple wars and in iraq as well. the islamic state controlled big swats of territory in both countries. no outside power or combination of powers seemed to be trying to dislodge them quickly. then egypt, a country in deep internal turmoil intervened in libya. in an effort to get my bearings, i decided to do a tour of the region. speaking to experts in the government's -- governments to ask the question, what is driving events, how do they interact, what is -- where is this all leading? and as i undertook my tour, a fourth war broke out and that is when saudi arabia intervened in yemen which added another layer of complication. in israel, i quickly became convinced that the major national security concern was not iran's nuclear program or the outcome of negotiations. i spoke to a dozen scholars in the government. what they proclaimed as the num

influence in the region and drive us out of the region. in the early 1980's, using the organization in lebanon which became known as the hezbollah, they blew up the u.s. embassy in 1983. 63 dead. 123 wondered. the u.s. marine barracks that same year in lebanon, 305 dead, 75 wounded. the u.s. embassy in kuwait, five dead, 86 wanted. in 1984, they went back to the u.s. embassy in lebanon which was now in the annex because the embassy had been destroyed and we had 23 more dead killed in that explosion and countless other wounded. 1980's an in the early 10-year campaign to kidnap and assassinate u.s. and european government officials and civilians resulting in the death of the c.i.a. station chief and the united states trading arms for hostages, putting in jeopardy the credibility of a president and his white house team. in 1996, they bombed the u.s. air force barracks in saudi arabia. 20 dead, 498 wounded. iraq,004 two 2008 in using two training bases in iran, the quds force trained and shia melissa -- militia developed and enhanced explosive

airlines they can fly in the region. so most of the people on board the aircraft are locals who do not have a whole lot of other choices. >> hey, david. you have said something that has really grabbed my ear. we have no reports of smoke plumes or any social media reports of flames as you suggested, and there haven't been any. how common is it for a plane to disappear so far along into a flight. it was supposed to end, what, in ten minutes, to not have any of those reports and still a plane that's missing? >> that's a really good question, victor. i did a couple of accidents in which this was the case, and it took us even a couple of days to find the aircraft. one of these aircraft was on close final approach into casper wyomi casper, wyoming. it was on its flight packet and on its way to the airport. now. it was a different situation because it was snow and winter but similar in that it crashed in the final minutes. you have to understand that still gives a lot. in casper, there's a lot of mountainous terrain on this sid

forces in the region? what's the response that prevents our decision-makers from saying yes, definitely take a piece of the irgc, we are sick and tired of it. what do the most. >> it's mainly been about terrorist strikes, asymmetric shirts in the region hitting americans are the facilities or corporate entities, just american symbolic targets that is a tit-for-tat type of thing. >> we are talking about leadership, and the response to these kind of challenges. you've got to have some kind of moral compass to do with these life-and-death situations that are sort of driving you to make these decisions. you look at the presidents that were involved in this. some of these presidents are very good people, obviously. but nontheless, they were handcuffed by something, what derek is thing. and uncomfortable if they had an opportunity to revisit it they probably would've made some difficult, some different decisions. i harken back to european leadership that existed when nazism rose and it wasn't that difficult the

the mountainous region is covered with dense jungle, and there was bad weather at the time the plane went missing. villagers reported seeing the plane crash into a mountain. indonesia's transport ministry say villagers have found wreckage, but official confirmation is still needed. >> translator: according to the information the trigana aircraft was found in the mountain region. the information was provided by the local residents who said that the flight crashed into the mountain. the details are still under investigation. >> we're being joined on the phone from indonesia. you heard what i read out and heard what the gentleman we just heard from had to say. what more can you add? >> reporter: well, so far as wep flight il-257 has not been actually found. the plane has not been actually found. it's true that people in the area villages have seen it crashing in this mountain just ten minutes before it was supposed to land in this very small town with a very small airport. the weather was apparently really bad in the area, and it's basically notoriously bad around papua for flying. cond

and a whole range of meetings with my colleagues from the united states, a region of the nearest, the gulf directly without any that, yes, we have coincidences of opposition to insure the political settlement of the syrian crisis. [ inaudible ] they don't have differences including concerning how to resolve the destiny of today's legitimate acting president of the syrian republ republic. if some of our partners thinks that his compulsory is necessary to agree the president will leave his post then this is not acceptable to russia this position. we have said openly about it. the syrian people should decide. should sit at the negotiation table and stop pretend that just one opposition group has -- possesses legitimacy which the international community so-called granted to it which should be achieved. all the option sixal circles are represented -- oppositional circles are represented and a delegation should work out a constructive without any preliminary conditions, platform for negotiations with the delegation of the legitimate government of the syrian arab republic. that's our positio

there are a lot of wealthy countryies in the region, in the gulf, who have a stake in regional stability. it's incumbent upon them to do more to help their neighbors pull through this. >> steve. >> the american priority and, it really should have been our priority from the very beginning of the syrian civil war would be to end the war to get the fighting to stop. full stop. and i think the united states just my view, erred by insisting in the beginning that assad had to go and foreclosing a deal in which he might have maintains a role. we also erred in my view by excluding iran from the process. you'll recall when the geneva process went on. to partially contradict what i said earlier, it's possible the deal today will open the door to a diplomatic prosand that might help facilitate trying to help a deal. i would not be optimistic about it. ending the syrian civil war is going to be difficult regardless of it, but we might see a slight difference in the dynamics and composition going forward. with respect to lebanon this has had tremendous impact on lebanon. it's hard to believe lebanon

iran has regional hegemonic interests. they have the largest conventional military in the region and a huge amount of asymmetric threats. when all this means is that the united states is not going anywhere just because a deal has signed. in some cases, even though i think the likelihood of war has decreased and the likelihood iran will get a nuclear weapon has rapidly declined america's commitment is still there. the message to israel and the saudis the united states will have an enormous commitment in the area. we have 34,000 american forces stationed in the reason, over 10,000 deployed troops, some of the most advanced aircraft's, missiles, and technology that that region and the world has ever known. that is not going anywhere and because of that, there's a huge amount of concrete manifestation of america's commitment to resisting the range of the ron's -- iran's behavior. we will be there to deter them from doing bad things. >> john, talk if you would about the role of the intelligence community. two different types of
