at the same time, what is interesting with isis, i'm just back from the middle east and south asia, they have adopted a strategy recently that is more similar to the way al qaeda has operated over the past 10 years in the even outside of the areas that they are primarily operating in. they have reached out to basessts groups and other and through encouragement, some have proved loyalty. we have seen that in the last week. pledgedst group loyalty. we have seen a isis members in libya going around. we have one group that has pledged loyalty and southeast asia. and pakistan, we have seen support from groups from the pakistan taliban to isis. it means pledges of support rather than the willingness to bring in fighters. there is also a willingness to expand their networks in a broader area than just the one they are fighting. briefly, where does the u.s. fits? in general, you look at the level of violence going on, they are primarily focusing on local regimes. syria andregime in the iraqi regime. that is where their energy is focused. there does appear to be an otherst in inspiring outside of

south asia has seen strings back and forth over the past several years. philippines, for example, groups like abu sayyaf have been weekend because the philippine offers. one of the things i want to highlight, people here may have forgotten. the u.s. has been involved in a very significant struggle in the philippines since 9/11. it is primarily a special operations forces and intelligence units not conventional. you don't see the newspapers. it has decimated the jihadist groups in the philippines. it estimated abu sayyaf. the estimated groups which have now turned on other jihadist groups and philippines. so that area right now, we have seen a slavery by a vote area of pakistan and india were ivan although we hear he has created an additional affiliate, but i would say across that region, there are concerns about the growth of jihadist groups. i would say across the board, the levels are still lower than what we are seen in the middle east and north africa and probably south asia as well. and jim is in a better position than i am along these lines. the dec

we were moving away from and this is a very important concept for later in our lives in south asia and northeast asia and the middle east. instead of thinking nuclear weapons as the weapon of last resort, no. we were moving to war fighting with our weapons. and this was a function, really, of looking at these weapons as being used. in other words, thinking of what is a war going to look like? how will it end? who will win the war? and these were not concepts that we had been comfortable with before but we started to thinking that way. we started thinking that way to add credibility to our posture, the theory being that the credibility would then lead to stability. the diversity of targets, the counterforce capability, the precision which we could decide targets was emphasized by schlesinger during his period as secretary of defense. in which the 59 countervailing strategy was ramed. we were aiming at this point, to be sure that whatever it is, the soviets valued, we could target. we had from the very first days of nuclear weapons, we had three target sets. we were imagining what it was

>> it involves the military, the responsibilities in the middle east, south asia, and africa south of discharging these responsibilities, all of our military activities are brought under one single commander. this exercise is under my command because i bring the forces over and i turn them over to the combined commander. >> you had the opportunity to meet and talk with his imperial majesty. what were his impressions of exercise delawar? >> he has expressed great pleasure over what has taken place in the exercise. he turned to me and said, that is a very precise drop indeed. there was enthusiasm in the manner in which he expressed himself. >> do feel this will have some kind of an impact on the iranian army? >> i think any strong endeavor between two people does have a large impact. we are learning how to work with the iranian armed forces as a combined joint team. with this teamwork, if we should ever have to operate together, our strength will be multiplied. >> as the first airborne assault was concluded, he left the stands in order to follow the action as it developed. he boarded th

why do you think asia is going? think southeast asia -- , i think we have a bubble going on in thailand. middle-class is moving forward and they want to hear prison, obama supporting these confections. it is legally possible , and to change the constitution, politically, it how that ard to see would happen. it would be extraordinary. the white house. it is trying to manage. is almost impossible to get that done before the elections. if it doesn't happen, what we should be worried about is in the g the baby out bath water , and think that the economy is going to fail. of time ot spent a lot in myanmar. i felt like she wants this changed before the election. if cannot be there's an entire the termination to carry on to fight. she thought there was room to make nough votes to changes after winning. there is two provisions that has been in play. one in the constitution because are -- citizenship issues. another because of seats for the military. i agree with ernie. signals are pretty clear that will not see that for 2015. the odds

and saying that he wants to connect south asia to central arab t asia to afghanistan. so much improvement as far as relationship between islamabad and kabul is concerned. however, there are challenges security challenges and of course the most important one will be how effectively the unity government is able to do its business, and whether it is able to control an insurgency in many of its provinces. >> still to come this half hour, looking at feeling isolated. why russia's president is finding itself cast out in the g-20 summit in australia. >> again a reminder of the top stories here in ankle. an armed group behind the killing of 30 soldiers has released a video pledging allegiance to isil. they have promised more violence if the military presence in the region continues. afghanistan's president and pakistan's prime minister have agreed to improve cooperation between the two countries. it involves a deal to increase trade and explore new defense and energies partnerships. and ukraine's president poroshenko has decreed to stop services in regions held by pro russian

i'm going to assume this is not simply relegated to south asia and sub-saharan africa. do you think the poor does not have an of access to everything from the safety net to fair and free enterprise? >> it is absolutely the same in the united states. where it does differ is that we've got so many different public programs that are often dysfunctional. they could be made more functional if companies just pushed. when you look at our health care system, the united states spends far and away more money on both private health care and public health care than any other country in the world, and yet you look at how our numbers are getting worse and worse and worse, particularly for the poor. we rate like anglo -- -- like bangladesh. african-american males versus bangladeshi males. on life expectancy, maternal mortality rates it is the same in mississippi and alabama. it is very bad. rates like the city of alabama. some of the poorest countries are worst. how do we change that? the opportunities for social entrepreneurs. but a way to create a more efficient way to get people ax

we were moving away from, and this is a very important concept for later in our lives in south asia, northeast asia and the middle east, instead of thinking of nuclear weapons as the weapon of last resort we would never use, it was a deterrent weapon, it was a minimum deterrent weapon, no, we were moving to war fighting with our weapons. and this was a function, really, of look aring at these weapons concern look at these weapons as -- at looking at these weapons being used. in other words, what is a war going to look like, how will it end, who will win the war? these were not concepts that we had been comfortable with before, but we started thinking that way. we thought -- we started thinking that way to add credibility to our posture, the theory being that the credibility would then lead to stability. the diversity of targets, the counterforce capability, the precision with which we could destroy targets were all emphasized by schlesinger during his period as secretary of defense. when brown became secretary of defense in the carter administration, he had presidential decision memor

[laughter] civic that was the saudi way but then in prison and then rehabilitate. [laughter] then let them live happily ever after. >> i'm a member of the cycle here can having appeared in the last three months with the general public with ebola with nowhere in this before a. end to mention the syrian connection. or they're working with al qaeda? how do they get on with isil? did they first come up with

in south asia, south america and so forth. so that project is not limited government policy but rather involve all kinds of agencies, voluntary militias and the settlers themselves acting on their own but never been punished or curtailed from doing so. immigrants are brought over by the scandinavians and settled in minnesota, a territory, their way paid one way, given some tools. they had to fight, kill the indians. they call the military and to do the job. so that's not worked over and over. but paradoxically the way in which many have acknowledged the fact that genocide leads them to write off near the americans as irrelevant to politics. they don't exist anymore. actually made of americans have the fastest growing population in the united states right now. never recovering their original 10 million. i mean, maybe one day but nevertheless robust numbers. this new erasure because in the winner takes all kind of democratic politics in the united states, would you indians matter? this was the nature of the politics. this is wha

they want to connect south asia to central asia to afghanistan. the president was assured by the country's military leadership that pakistan will cooperate and even train the new army. much improvement between afghanistan and pakistan, however there are security challenges and the most important one will be how effectively the unity government in afghanistan is able to do its business and whether it is able to control an insurgency in many of its provinces. >> a nato soldier has been killed by fighters in morning afghanistan. the shooting happens on friday. 61 soldiers have died so far this year in afghanistan. the majority of them americans. coalition forces plan to withdraw from the country by the end of year. political analysts believe that the afghan forces are ready to provide national security. >> the security forces have shown that they're capable of holding ground against the taliban. the taliban actually last year, big enough last summer they they launched several operations and in 16 provinces they launched attacks. they even intensified

something that the president said that he wants to connect south asia with central asia to afghanistan. the president was assured by the military's leadership that pakistan will cooperate and even train the new afghan army. so much improvement as far as relationship between islamabad and kabul is concerned. however, there are challenges. security challenges. and of course the most important one will be how effectively the unity government is able to do its business and whether it is able to control an insurgency in many of its provinces. >> still to come here at al jazeera will america's president back up plan which would stop millions of undocumented immigrants from being deported. plus, we take you to one of the hottest places on the globe where a lack of rain is forcing farmers and herders from their land. >>> and in sports will england's luck run out? we'll look at the 2016 qualifier. >> now china is showcasing it's latest arsenal of military hardware at an airshow. 130 planes have been shown off on the ground and in the air. but the main focus of the event is it's new stealth figh

we were moving away from and this is a very important concept for later in our lives in south asia in northeast asia in the middle east. instead of thinking of nuclear weapons is the weapon of last resort we would never use it was a deterrent weapon. it was a minimum deterrent weapon. no we were moving to warfighting with our weapons. this was a function really of looking at these weapons as being used. in other words thinking of what is the were going to look like? how will it end? who will win the war? these were not concepts that we have been comfortable with before but we started thinking in that way. we started thinking that way to add credibility to our posture the theory being that the credibility would then buy/enter as his period as secretary of defense. when brown became secretary of defense in the carter administration he had a presidential decision pd 59 in which the countervailing strategy was framed. we were aiming at this point to be sure that whatever does the soviets valued we could target. there was no point in us having as we did in psyop and from the first day of n

holding onto here is the importance of the revelers to the situation that we have in northeast asia, south korea, japan, and the middle east with israel and around and perhaps others. so in the 1960s, which might be called these years, we are dealing with the credibility and the concept of stability and vulnerability. this includes flexible response which is used in two ways are least. one is in conventional forces that we have a more flexible response and it's also used to cover the topics that we are talking about, which is nuclear weapons establishment. as he says we need, a strike capability is not limited to the response that destroyed the cities of the soviet union. and what we need is something that will be more precise and more limited. it powers the concept of this second strike and -- it is horrifying as it is to say. and we are planning to incinerate roughly 50 million innocent soviet civilians. i say innocent because i don't think they voted for the other people that are part of this policy. and they say this was wrong, we would in fact be better off with a more ethical and mor

the history we have in northeast asia, north korea, south korea, japan, south asia, india, pakistan and middle east with israel and iran and perhaps others, right? so, in the 1960s, which might be called the mcnamara years, we are again dealing with conceptually with deterrents, the credibility of deterrence and concept of stability and concepts of vulnerability. mcnamara, offers the phrase, flexible response. it is actually used in two ways at least. one is, in the conventional forces, more flexible response but it is also used to cover the toppics we're talking about which is, our nuclear weapons establishment. and what mcnamara says we need is a strike capability which is not limited to a spas moddic response that destroys the cities of the soviet union. this is not credible to do that. what we need is something that will be more precise, that will be more limited. he profounds the concept of second strike counter force. we always had before that, second strike, counter city or counter value. which is horrifying as it is at that say it out loud, meant that we that we were planning to

this has nothing to do with [indiscernible] >> we've had an effort underway to defeat al qaeda in south asiar over a decade. these are long-term efforts. they must be done. it is important to reflect on this. why are we doing this? you have the threat to the stability of these important governments and nations in the region. the iraqi government. second, there are lessons to be taken from 9/11, pre-9/11. when an organization like this is given an pressured space to , launchan, raise money >> that is ahat is threat to the united states. we have an additional threat which you referenced earlier, the foreign fighter threat. we have 12-15,000 foreign fighters fighting here, attracted from around the world. several thousands are from the west. and the unitede states. >> explained to me what you're going to do about isis in syria. you have other groups were different from them. you have a moderate force that has not been very effective and did not get the support it wanted from the united states. there are some promises of support but not lethal weapons. instance, yout have to stop the progress of

under classic colonialism, the indigenous population is wanted for labor in south asia, south america and so forth. so the project is not limited to government policy, but rather involves all kind of agencies, voluntary militias and settlers themselves acting on their own, but never been punished or curtailed in doing so. immigrants are brought over and settled in minnesota territory. and then the nikon shoo dakota people were living there farming the mayor put on top of them, so they had to kill the indians and called the military to do the job. so that is how were over and over. paradoxically, the way in which many have acknowledged the fact of genocide leads them to write off native americans as a relevant politics. actually, native americans have the fastest growing population in the united states right now. never recovering their original 10 million over made up of what is now the united states. maybe one day. nevertheless, robust numbers. but this sort of winner takes all kind of democratic politics in the united states, what to indians not either? this is the nature of the poli

in a moment we will have a report on the plight of migrants from south asia, and another way into europe is through greece, thousands of migrants from the middle east, every year, use this as a gate way and as they three the violence, syria, and iraq and elsewhere, will be looking at their case, in athens shortly. and the ultimate goal for many of those is western europe that's where the pope is told the e.u. that the mediterranean must not become a grief yard for migrants. and he says europe has to change it's values. he said his was a message of hope, but he cheerily feels that europe has lost it's way. it needs to do more to support human dignity, and reconnect with people that no longer trust it. this was a critical speech. he spoke of a throw away culture, in which elderly people are abandoned and in which unborn children are kill misdemeanor the womb. he spoke of people becoming cogs in the ma seanry of the global economy, he spoke of the widespread loneliness felt by many, and he referred to a vacuum of ideas. >> uneffort canble listening for some. >> the two cannot be reconciled.

countries on issues where both have compelling common interest, particularly in the iddle east and south asia. if such a deal is reached and they continued to verify that iran is compliant with this commitment, it should clear the ay for washington and tehran to engage on to security priorities that they both hold in common. the first is the fight against the islamic state in syria and iraq. second is stabilizing the new unity government in afghanistan. deep in mind both our governments have explicitly stated that a nuclear deal must be concluded before direct bilateral coordination on these issues can take place. the rise of isis hold major mplications. since june 2014, discussions between washington and tehran on isis have been taking place on the sidelines of the p5+1 nuclear talks. the iraqi government is act as an intermediary helping to acilitate medications. pollen in nuclear deal, i think we could expect these discussions to move to ongoing direct u.s.-iran talks. this could provide an opening for cordon nation and cooperation, perhaps including exchanges of collaboration on military

>> the part of the world that is most affected in terms of numbers is south asia, there are - india has a large number of people who are currently without toilets, and we are excited about the new government under prime minister modi making this one of the six top priorities, and we are cost that india can push ahead and make sure people do have toilets. >> india is leading on this. could that be a good sign for other countries, if india is successful on this. >> i think, indeed, it could. it's interesting to see that some other countries that, say, 10 years ago were a little bit behind were making big progress, including countries like bang la desh, the rate of people -- bangladesh, the rate of people that have no access to toilets. that is something we are looking at, is seeing if we can take clues, to see if other countries can get the numbers down. >> this is an economic issue, a health issue. we touched on this, about the fact that it's a safety issue for women and girls. how bad a problem is this? >> yes, that's an important aspect. this is the area where it is hard to find number

china is devising a new maritime silk road, so it will benefit more from trade in south asia and the east coast of africa, central asia, things like that. china is doing its own thing right now. russia and china are doing things, and america is building better relationships with other asian countries. for the moment it's okay. we have to see how it all unfolds. >> what else is comie ine ing u "real money"? >> we're talking about wealth. if you're middle class and close to retirement, this entire economic recovery might work against you. i'll explain why on the show tonight. >> interesting stuff. ali velshi with "real money." >>> the u.s. postal service reports it's become the victim of a hacking attack. postal authorities say that a cyber attack happened in mid-sement and it compromised information about postal service employees and the social security number. those using the website were not affected. people who call the customer care service may have had their information compromises. they have over 800,000 employees. >>> president obama announced his support for net neutrality in a

most of northern africa, most come into sub-saharan, south asia. it is, it is a very globally looking, whether they have the capacity to execute it, but they have this vision of this worldwide caliphate. this is the first organization of its kind that has been able to control territory into daytime as well as the night. and this is key territory, these are cities, infrastructure, roadways, rivers, that sort of thing, key territory. as i said 10 million people live in the area that they control. we can say that aqim and the groups like that rome the desert and strike at will, that's true but these people control territory. they have displaced the governments, both the national governments such as the existed and the more traditional tribal authorities from that sort of thing in the places that they control. but haven't filled the vacuum, the governments vacuum that they themselves created, or that had been growing before the even came upon the scene, such as places in iraq and in syria. they are not providing services to the people on these 10 milli

since that time i was always interested and fascinated about -- by our policy in to middle east and south asia and i was following the war against al qaeda from afar, and i was always sort of dissatisfied with my level of understanding of what was happening. so in 2008 i decided to switch careers and moved to afghanistan as a free lancer, and at the time, if you went to afghanistan, usually you lived in kabul, which is a relatively cosmopolitan city compared to the rest of the country and relatively safe. the war is taking place in the south and east along the border with pakistan for the most part. so, my time as a journalist in kabul was mostly going to press conferences and writing up 500, 600 word stories about what was happening in the countryside. and so very quickly i got frustrated by the lack of access to what was actually happening. i had covered the war but wasn't actually able to cover the war. so at some point i decided to take a different tact and i grew out my beard, bought a motorcycle, and i hit the road and went down to the south, to the areas where the war was being fought,

something that the president mentioned by saying he wants to connect south ara asia to central asia. the president was assured by the country's built leadership that pakistan will cooperate and even train the new afghan army. so much improvement as far as relationship between kabul and islamabad is concerned. and of course the most important is how will be effectively the unity government is able to do its business and whether it is able to control an insurgency and many of its provinces. >> vladimir putin has come under pressure at the g-20 summit in australia. the russian president was forced to have lunch on his own. we have reports from brisbane. >> the focus of his speech was expected to be the united states' strategic profit towards asia with a nod to the economic talks to come. but unexpectedly one of president obama's main themes was the environment. >> as we focus on our economy we cannot forget the need to lead on the global fight against climate change. >> well, more than six minutes was devoted to the topic of climate change. but if tony abbott was stunned president vladi

crowded slum in west africa or for that matter if ebola gets into daca in bangladesh or anywhere in south asia where hospitals are well-known for not having adequate infection control, ebola could very easily leave west africa. but i see this is not so much a failure on the part of the public health community but as a natural disaster that simply overwhelmed us. i see it in the same terms as let's say a tsunami or an earthquake like the japanese tsunami. take that for example, okay? the japanese have been praying preparing for for a long time for saddam is that they just didn't think of everything. they didn't think just how bad it was really going to be. a lot of people died in a the japanese tsunami. they could have done things better by then me end what we are seeing i think is essentially the and the powerlessness of the human species to really control its destiny in the ecosystems on the planet. in the end if it wasn't ebola it's going to be something else and personally i think ebola is by no means the most dangerous virus on the planet. in a way what's happening with ebola right now is

capability is also brought to bear on the whole a rate of challenges we face in africa, in asia, in south asia, and the region you can think of. and i would consider our java nctc to make sure we are not leaving any holes in that fabric a stretch as the look out across the different challenges we face. while at the same time reorganizing were effort needs to be most energetically directed. that, of course, right now would argue for a lot of effort to be directed at the challenges we're facing in syria and iraq. >> are you confident that nctc can discover and enable, or are enabled to disrupt plots and homeland? >> i would say that our ability to detect potential disrupt a plot involving a complex object of with a number of terrorist actors and a fair amount of communication, i would assess our odds of being very, very good at being able to detect and disrupt that kind of plotting. the more the plotting looks like what you and chairman feinstein talked about interns being an individual normal actor, perhaps with no direct connection or even indirect connection to an overseas terrorist group, pe

recall, that we have had an effort under way to defeat degrade, descroirks al qaeda in south asia forover a decade. these are long-term efforts. and they must be done. it's important to reflect on this. why with rwe doing this? one, as said, vut threat to the stability of these important governments and nations and the region-- in the first instance, the iraqi government. second, there are lessons to be taken here from 9/11, pre-9/11, and one of the lessons like this is when an organization like this is given unpressured space to plot, plan, raise money, launch operations, that that ultimately is a threat -- >> add al qaeda did in afghanistan. >> yes, and that's a threat to the united states. we have an additional threat here which you referenced earlier which is the foreign fighter threat. so we have some 12,000 to 15,000 foreign fighters -- that is people who are not from iraq or syria-- fighting here, who have been attracted from around the world. several thousands of those are from the west, and some monday from the united states. >> rose: explain to me what you're going to do abo

crowded slum in west africa or for that matter if it gets into dhaka in bangladesh are ready when south asia for hospitals are well known for not having adequate infection control, ebola could very easily leave west africa. i see this is not so much a failure on the part of the public health committee, but as a natural disaster that simply overwhelmed us. i see it in the same terms as let's say saddam he or an earthquake. like the japanese tsunami. takeback, for example. japanese have been prepared a long time for tsunami is, but they just didn't think of everything they did encode that it was really going to be an a lot of people died in the japanese tsunami. they could've done a better, but in the end what we are seeing i think is essentially the of the powerlessness of the human species to really control its destiny in the ecosystems of the planet that, you know, in the end of that was the end if it wasn't a bola, it's going to be something else and personally i think ebola is by no means the most dangerous virus on the planet. anyway, what is happening right now is an excellent wake-up c
