prime minister dmitry medvedev i some really strong words to say about the situation but the fear so far the e.u. together with the cyprus parliament have unfortunately acted like a bull in a china shop i think all possible mistakes which could have been made in this situation have been made fun of bustled middle of the prime minister didn't stop there he also compared the european union's officials approach to the crisis to powell soviet authorities downs with the private funds of soviet citizens meaning the expropriation of private property of course all this is happening after cyprus have rejected the bailout plan proposed by brussels and mostly the so-called droid of investors which included taxing private bank accounts of the country is still on the verge of bankruptcy there is unconfirmed speculation that the cypriot problem and is a looking at an alternative plan to get out get out of the crisis which may even allegedly include getting out of the euro zone altogether with time is running out for the country and its president said that a decision must be made before the end of the

>> well, so far, so far, we have had an absolutely spectacular year.very rare when you get january and february moving together. i would agree with the idea that much of march is going to depend to a certain extent on how this gets resolved. right now the street believes that by the end of march there's going to be some kind of resolution, particularly around march 27, when you get a continuing resolution. there will be a deal for these budget cuts as well combined in. that's the sign of what it believes. if we're here one month from now and it's april 1st and the government is starting to shut down because the continuing resolution proposal is not passed and still no further deal on sequestration, i can assure you the markets are not going to be high. >> jeff, what about maria's point, the fed, that's what's driving this market? not so much fears about the sequestration. >> that's an easy argument to make that the fed is driving things, but i think, you know, when you look at economically, we are dancing on the head of a sewing needle, and the two big

also the finance minister is in moscow he's been meeting with russian officials so far he said that no official proposal has been made there is speculation that cyprus is asking russia for a loan he said that no proposal has been made but he promised not to leave the russian capital until the sides of the ship and agreement we know that cyprus already always rush over two and a half billion euros for another loan which was given to the country back in two thousand and eleven so the big question is is the cyprus going to ask russia for complete bailout package since earlier the country's parliament rejected. when proposed by brussels and the troika and now the country is in a very difficult difficult position there are theories that if cyprus was a member of the u. asian economic community you then theoretically could have tapped into its reserve funds and there's also another kind of possibility now being weezer record by officials we want they are looking into possibly tapping into social funds like the retirement fund of the currency which could help them collect around five billion

the next two to three hours ok well let's just quickly talk about what has or hasn't been achieved so far during his visit i mean he an israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu haven't always seen eye to eye have they so what sort of common ground they found so far. well certainly the two leaders have not always seen eye to eye and that is why this visit is largely being dubbed as a p.r. effort by both the israelis who have a calling at the un breakable alliance and the americans so he obama so far is speaking primarily to the israeli public and he admitted as much last night after he met with israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu he said that his goal is to talk to the israelis he has used words such as friends such as coming home he's spoken about the close alliance between washington and tel aviv he's spoken about the importance of israeli security and he's also committed american financial assistance to israel particularly in terms of military programs beyond two thousand and seventeen when the current contracts expire now there's been very little mention so far of the palestinia

real commitment to ending the israeli palestinian conflict the americans know this administration's so far for so many years adopted the approach of conflict management but not conflict is a new sin and as long as the american spirit to do it proactive or to take a proactive role in bringing the two sides together and in defining that there is a preference for negotiations i think that isn't the big goal for the american they do station particularly on the visit by president obama to middle east is more of a state visit to israel and some kind of a side seeing who would look at a scene in a photo and that is not what the palestinians are expecting from an american president. and i would totally group name the islamic state of iraq says it was behind a series of attacks in baghdad on tuesday the killed sixty five in mostly shiite areas of the city it was indeed the deadliest violence to hit the right this year it came on the tenth anniversary of the u.s. led invasion of the country let's talk about this and other countries coping with the consequences of the war with phyllis bennis she's fr

and then nothing is going to be is going to happen and the americans for this administration's have so far for so many years adopted the approach of conflict management but not conflict resolution and as long as the americans failed to do it proactive or take out a take a proactive role in bringing the two sides together and defining the terms of reference for negotiations i think that there isn't that big role for the american administration to play on that or do you kind of answered my next question is this going to. split apart the peace process. but it's the way that at least as far as palestinians looking at this visit and my been talking to quite a number of palestinians and there is a i level of frustration of disappointment because president obama at least until this moment has decided not to visit for instance the way they gave us a lot of fog the legendary leader of the palestinians as they see him at least they won't be the kind of financial anthems of the palestinians and the american anthem is played when the president arrives touches the ground in normal life and that is that

prime minister due to the media has a really strong words to say about the situation but for the year so far the e.u. together with the cyprus parliament have unfortunately acted like a bull in a china shop i think all possible mistakes which could have been made in this situation have been made the prime minister didn't stop there if your sole compared to the approach with which european union officials are dealing with the private bank accounts to how suck it up that he's dealt with the private funds of soviet citizens meaning expropriation of private property and now earlier the problems of cyprus rejected to the european union's bailout plan which included introducing a tax for private bank accounts in the country yeah and cyprus is still on the verge of bankruptcy time is running out for the country and its president said that a decision must be made before the end of the day. the european central bank has set an ultimatum for cyprus eye those strike a bailout deal by monday all be cobbled from emergency funds that would be a devastating blow for. banks remain shuttered to prevent a mas

out of afghanistan not republic of afghanistan and so far they have not changed that tone and unlessthey change that the people of afghanistan will not be supporting it fall upon that want to reverse things back to to the stone age and we cannot afford that afghanistan has to live in this world it is up to the taliban to show their real face not the face that is pushed by the british intelligence or the facts on the intelligence every paramilitary group looks larger than life when they're in battlefields inviting grohl of war but when they come to a political front then. the proof is is there and these people have to for the present an agenda to the people of afghanistan and present a team. all taleban the old agendas will not be acceptable to the afghan people do you think and aleck did taliban could save face so to speak for the western groups there what they say they may say ok well the taliban is here but this time it's by boat so that's good enough. i think the west is confused the west is looking for an exit a very speedy exit and then. i'm afraid that they will probably do wha

deception all right so what are we learning so far a we're learning that monsanto has a hell of a lot of influence be scientists from both sides of the aisle agree that some jimbo's are dangerous and require testing and we're learning that the whole campaign against labeling these foods is based entirely on false hoods yet a majority of americans want their food to be labeled before they purchase it and of course the reason food doesn't get labeled is due to a revolving door between washington and big agribusiness see for yourself. look at who obama has appointed to the very regulatory bodies that are supposed to be responsible for our food safety roger beachy director at the u.s.d.a. is a former director of the month santo danforth center michael taylor the act is food safety is our is the former vice president monsanto ramona romero a u.s.d.a. counsel was previously on du pont's corporate counsel and the secretary of agriculture tom vilsack was awarded governor of the year by the biotechnology industry organization whose members include monsanto and lastly islams the dickey the u.s.

sector the minister has been in moscow for the last few days and negotiating with russian officials so far he says there's been no official offer but he stressed that he's not leaving until an agreement is reached in the meantime a delegation of senior european union officials is also in the russian capital including the head of the european commission amount of borrowers of course are also discussing the crisis in cyprus and earlier russia's prime minister dmitry me did if i some really strong words to say about the situation but the fear so far the e.u. together with the cyprus parliament have unfortunately acted like a bull in a china shop i think all possible mistakes which could have been made in this situation have been made to feel enough bustled will be the prime minister didn't stop there he also compared the european union's officials approach to the crisis to how soviet authorities dealt with the private funds of soviet citizens meaning the. property of course all of this is happening after cyprus have rejected the bailout plan proposed by brussels and mostly the so-called droid

two thousand and seventeen when the current contracts expire now there's been very little mention so far of the palestinians of the peace process of the continued israeli settlement expansion and this is in stark contrast to the speech the president gave back in two thousand and nine in cairo when he said that one of his priorities in terms of his foreign policy was resolving the palestinian issue having said that though there is a lot of mistrust between obama and netanyahu there is a lot of areas and disagreement they certainly don't see eye to eye on the issue of iraq and here we have mr yahoo continuing to call for a military strike while obama continues to say that all options are on the table and that there is still time for diplomacy so certainly in this what we see is that despite the p.r. efforts there is no running away from the fact that mr han yahoo still holds firm to israeli commitment even if it means turning his back on his close allies we here in this clip israel can never see the road to defer nurses to others even to the greatest of our friends there's already been a h
