through it was russia and romania and the effect of i. write a good world because so it was just like with their system for the first time. ok so you have a rice field and we kind of were going to go and they were obviously very popular because many of the parents are looking for children who who look like themselves with the same feature so romania throws them with a few dozen spy and was thanks to them the pressure of this is now things like. this improved a little now and so russia is about the only country that we sent a wife children who the u.s. and other countries so you're saying that racism is a big factor in this race is a secular although i must say this also reading the minutes you'll get about this from a few oka races there are also other factors coming whether rather celebrity from countries or whether there's some kind of other feel good story that was racist that was the effect so yes. interesting i also want to ask you well what kind of regulations are now in place to protect adopted children well the regulations in plac

purple, and graveyards are rather somber places to be, but if you visit this cemetery in northern romania, you'll get a much jollier approach to the end of life. the brightly painted headstones become a big tourist attraction, and so are the epitaphs. some of them are brutally honest about just why or how a person died. >> the acetamide bucharest is romania's most famous concert house, but it is about to play host to a very unusual performance about a man fighting to preserve his life's work -- the athenaeum in bucharest. he makes crosses for the village. as one celebrates the life of two gun-loving brothers his dissolute life style contributed to their early demise -- two fun-loving brothers whose a dissolute life style contributed to their early demise. the cross must be returned unscathed. >> i have removed two cemetery crosses for this concert, as i want people to sense the uniqueness of these art works. each are one-of-a-kind and have made our village known around the world. >> here at his cemetery, he wants his colorful crosses to take the fight out of death, not a whitewash it. >>

this is the google street view of one of the secret prisons we used to have in romania. the associated press did an overhead satellite view so you could see how snubbed up it was against the railway lines in a densely populated area. that was ours. we are a country with 2 million people in prison or jail on any given day. america has thousands of prisons and jails here at home, but we decided to open up something in romania too in secret. also in poland and a bunch of other places. we don't do that anymore either. they emt tid them out in 2006 and in 2009 it became official policy that we don't do that anymore. for years do you remember there was a ban on taking photos at dover? a ban on taking photos of flag-draped coffins of americans killed in war having their bodies brought back home to the united states. we the public were banned from seeing those pictures for years. but that ban is over now. we do not have that ban anymore. we don't do that anymore. we're now allowed to see. for awhile top level u.s. policymakers approved torturing people. and americans did torture

the hands of one of turkey's most violent sex traffickers began in moldova, a nation wedged between romania and ukraine. moldova is perhaps the poorest country in europe. 80% of the population lives below the poverty line. tiraspol, its second largest city, is a haven for traffickers in arms, drugs and people. it is also katia's hometown. >> ( translated ): i pushed her to go to turkey so we could make some money. some people do manage to make money. it's probably my fault because i encouraged her to go. >> narrator: when katia left here a month earlier, her five- year-old son, roslan stayed behind with her mother. >> ( translated ): here i am with her five-year-old child, and i'm 60. i told him that she went to work. what else can i tell a child, that his mother was sold? imagine. he keeps crying all the time and asking why it's taking her so long to come back. what can i say to him? he's so little.

one of the guys today i'm in charge of romania. whatm i doing here?on't know what happened. >> dana: they're career state department officials with "x" amount of time in government. >> here is how bad it is. it couldn't use the sound bite for house or senate side. there wasn't one interesting sound bite i could use. everybody was going i don't know anything about it. i wasn't there. i don't know. >> greg: the real winners are the media. they no longer have to report because they get a report. they got a cliff's note version of benghazi, the 29 point. they miss everything. >> sit back, don't leave your desk. >> it was previously on dallas. if you watch "dallas" you knew what was happening. >> andrea: the state department said the doctors ordered her to work from home. if you have a concussion the l.a. thing you do is work. do nothing or sit around and talk to others. only thing you the k do like at a hearing. >> bob: i got a concussion playing football. i still have it. still here. the republicans in the house cut .ting for state department >> bob: you

we want to continue to keep avenues of adoption open for children from russia, from china, from romania, etc. people may be wondering, senator, you're so bold about speaking about this, do children from america, are children from america adopted overseas? the answer is yes. not many, but under the international treaties of the rights of the child to a family, we need to be open to have american children if they can't find an adoptive home here, to be able to go to other countries. but the most important thing is to know that americans step up every day to adopt american children, both infants, teenagers, and even i've known of adoptions of children that were 22 and 23 years old. when are you ever too old to need a mother and a father? but what the action that the russian duma has taken is -- it's a travesty and it's incomprehensible that any government could would take their anger out on another another country against the children of their own country. we hope they will reconsider. we hope the people of russia will rise up and tell their government absolutely not, take your anger out i

it was so suffocating that i can compare it to no place in the arab world about romania which i also knew to read too don't believe to go from saddam hussein's five rap to syria is like coming up from liberal humanists because we tend to say all dictators are bad, all democrats are good, you know, we eliminate and eraser distinctions and it's the distinctions that give the complexity we need to understand the world, and yet they ran a brutal dictatorship that was nothing like saddam hussein. and i had my passport taken away for ten days while the iraqi authorities when i was in kurdistan that time i was very near dayton nervous it i got back from the airport before i left and i was a journalist that got too close to my story and i was intent on eliminating saddam hussein. i believe like a lot of people in different western countries in the world and on both sides of the aisle that there was wmd. but more importantly, i believe the regime is suffocating and brutal and you couldn't trust it. you have to assume that it existed. the war turned out. i'm not a fatalist what we had a differ

i think what they really need to worry about is romania at the end of the cold war, going before thenternational criminal court, being like the fellows from former yugoslavia. i think that's what really worries them. but i think he definitely can get out of the country, even if he used chemical questions. it's really an open question. i'm not sure he's going to stay to the bitter end. >> we'll see, of course, whether the criminal court is in his future or what might happen to him. thanks very much to both of you. "outfront" tonight, raha lewis. appreciate your taking the time. explain this to me. what is this law change? >> essentially all it means is that it no longer makes a difference if you're a male or female, and you're in the line of succession to the throne. both male and female will be treated equally, as of october, 2011. >> okay. so it's retroactive. so if they can't get it fully passed, it's still okay. how far are we from seeing this law go through? is there any doubt? >> well, actually, it was first announced in october, 2011. it went into effect immediately. it's going
