sense -- >> let's go to richard walker in washington. if you read the u.s. papers, you will not hear a word about this there. is this a nonstory in the united states? >> i think it is right to say it is a nonstory. if you look at the morning print editions of the washington times and u.s. post, it it was front-page news. but this story is competing with an incredibly big news agenda at the moment. look at the international crisis the obama administration is facing right now. you have the israeli-palestinian violence. you have iraq and afghanistan in different ways looking at a breakup. all three of those crises have emerged in the last 4 to 6 weeks. on top of that you have long-term crises like the war in syria, the crisis in ukraine. maybe this story has to get even bigger to fight for place in the public mind here in the u.s. >> it has been making headlines for a couple days here. we know the u.s. secretary of state john kerry will be meeting with his german counterpart on sunday, face to face. >> yeah, and i think on that level, it is clear this dramatic

as richard walker explains, the case could have international consequences. >> in public and in the corridorsof power, new media and old. we met two men battling on the front lines. eric supporting argentina and for the investors, robert shapiro. they see the case very differently. >> no one is against profit but we are against profit off of the backs of war people. >> argentina has to honor the judgments of the u.s. courts. >> at the heart of the battle, the ethics of the investors. argentina calls them vulture funds. >> that is part of the argentine government's public relations. financial institutions act on behalf of insurance companies and foundation endowments and university endowments. would you call a university a vulture because they invest with a hedge fund? >> is a funds that make their money by buying off debt from poor countries or countries in financial distress. they buy it for pennies on the dollar and litigate in full with a 1400% profit at times. >> they didn't want to put anyone in front of the camera but in recent reports like this one is that the case could set precedents

. >> let's crossover to washington dc where we are joined by our colleague, richard walker. the u.s. embassy in berlin has refused to comment on the move against its top u.s. intelligence official. any reaction where you are? >> pretty much the same picture here. the white house also sticking to its familiar formula that it cannot speak on intelligence matters of stop but behind the scenes, we are hearing from an analyst close to the administration that they are quite taken aback by this action taken by the merkel government. and it is pushing the story up the agenda here at a time when there are many other crises around the world and domestically facing the obama administration. there is a sense that a debate is beginning to unfold. one senior policy analyst said a deputy secretary of criticize them for not removing this cia station chief before this happened. >> this move does represent action. it is getting into the news, but will it change anything? >> that is the question will stop it depends on just how my pressure germany is willing to apply. until now, it has stuck s

our correspondent richard walker joins us from the u.s. capitol. obama stopped short of directly blaming russia, but what else did he have to say? >> that's right, and i think it is important to stress that in his comments, obama was quite cautious. he said it was important not to get ahead of the facts and warned that there would be some scope for misinformation in the days and weeks ahead. we have one clip from his comments that indicates the way white house thinking is at least going at this point. >> evidence indicates that the plane was shot down by a surface-to-air missile that was launched from the area controlled by russian-backed separatists inside of ukraine. we also know that this is not the first time a plane has been shot down in eastern ukraine. over the last several weeks, russian-backed separatists have shot down a ukrainian transport plane and a ukrainian helicopter and claimed responsibility for shooting down a ukrainian fighter jet. >> beyond that also as we saw in the report just earlier, obama effectively said that the ukraine

administrators who served under the last four republican presidents -- richard nixon, ronald reagan, george herbert walker bush and george w. bush. listen to this. richard nixon, ronald reagan, george herbert walker bush and george w. bush, all of these former administrators said climate change requires action now and it should not be a partisan issue. mr. president, i ask rhetorically when did the environment become a partisan issue? when i first got into politics, it was a while ago but it was completely bipartisan. we -- we addressed this issue together because the health of the american people, the ability to go to work and breathe clean air and not have an asthma attack or a heart attack, the desire to make sure your kids were swimming in safe, clean water and they were drinking clean water, this wasn't partisan. now, the latest thing we know -- and this is critical to put in the record at this time -- is that when you clean up dirty, filthy carbon pollution, you also make sure that the air is cleaner to breathe. this is critical. that's why the administration's plan is going to lead to healthier com
