idiological sources but if you are talking about the existential threat and a number of regions which is south asia. >> which countries are facing the greatest dangers? >> first address of meshed issue what has happened over that time. en then you go back to '92 entertaining the russians with the russian nuclear weapons. and then with the secret city. but most of it is addressing the security issue that we had. so what went back in 198192 with u.s. government actions better very important with that initiative with that visionary legislation to come out ahead of the government to push into action but they knew it would take a lot of cooperation. so what we faced in 9192 the soviet union coming apart with those that made up the soviet union. and then to have access at a time it is literally coming apart. to be in total turmoil. so really it is the making of the perfect nuclear storm. with 37,000 nuclear weapons russia last somewhere 1.4 billion kilograms of fissile materials to make bombs out of. with highly enriched uranium. nagasaki by 6.2 kilograms that is this much. that's it. hiroshima was more

from a strategic perspective, india is a growing influence in asia and become vocal on issues like freedom of navigation in the south china sea and the indian ocean region. additionally central asia occupied critical geography. the china recognize this potential of central asia for what has been a cross roads on the doorstep of the great powers and a transit point for trade and culture between the east and the west and the chinese are seeking to a expand their influence there. yet in your written testimony there is only one mention of india in the context of a trilateral ministerial and no mentions of south and central asia at all. so my question is do they not fit with the administration as larger rebalance asia strategy and how could we rebalance to strategy without a strategic framework that considers asia as a strategic hole. thank you. >> thank you very much. we strongly share your view on the importance of india, both in and of itself but also as part of the region. and as an increasingly vital region actor. india has its own regional policy that dove tails very nicely with the work we're doing on the rebalanc

and as some of our allies in the rest of south asia were telling us, the collapse of the whole structure. you can ask me questions about individual decisions. they were taken, and president ford was president in the very last phase. of the war. end, whensay the very it was obvious that we were talking only about the evacuation of the last batch of civilians that were stuck at the airport in saigon, i called him we have to transmit the evacuation of saigon. if you read that phone conversation between him and me, he realized that we had to leave. but he wanted to squeeze out another 12 hours to see whether we can rescue a few more people. so all the presidents were haunted in their way. dedicated towere finding a peaceful solution. each of them have the dilemma of how do you relate american honor to the ending of the war? that was the dilemma. there was nobody who wanted more , there was nobody who wanted to escalate the war. they all wanted peace. but the question was, under what conditions can you do that without turning over the millions who had relied on the word of previous presidents

mindful that isil is a transregional threat with affiliates located from south asia to west africa, our top priority remains to disrupt attacks against the homeland, the american people, our allies and our partners, regardless of the source. we continue to assess that the most dangerous threat remains core isil in iraq and syria. i just returned from iraq last week and received the campaign update from our commanders and iraqi leadership. i also had the opportunity to visit with our troops and to observe iraqi forces at their training sites. while the situation is complex with no shortage of political and military challenges, i was encouraged by what i heard and what i saw on the ground. last fall it would have been fair to say that isil had the momentum. i don't believe that is any longer the case. without repeating the detailed progress outlined by secretary carter, i'll summarize that by saying that our strikes in conjunction with iraqi security forces, peshmerga and sunni tribal forces, we've reduced isil's territorial control, undermined its brand and aura of invincibility and dest

saw the g-7 release a statement which picked on china not by name but clearly about them and the south asiap is saying here? >> logic, that's a bit of an extension, but clearly something is resonating, not just with people in america but also in asia. again, the story economically, politically is the rise of china. >> so, talk us through then how you think this is likely to play out. let's leave the nuclear weapons to one side. that's a political discussion for another channel. as far as the tariffs are concerned, what do you think is likely to happen if he gets the gop nomination? do you see that? do the asians see that going through the political process? >> i think we have to recognize that asians are not paying so much attention day-to-day to our u.s. election. what they do see day-to-day is the presence of china, either through businesses or through their now military in the south china sea. i also, when i talk to asian leaders and business or government leaders, they are trying to understand our political system. they do recognize that what leaders might say to try to get the nominati

reporter: i was wondering if you could talk a little bit about the spread of isis in south asia and how real that is, in particular we're hearing reports that bangladesh has increasing issues with this and also was wondering in countries like india, bangladesh and pakistan in particular, how cooperative are the countries with recognizing there is a problem and cooperating with the united states on that? mr. clapper: that is a very good question. that is a concern because of the provinces to use the isil term that appear to be forming in some countries in southeast asia. i'll just say without singling out anyone is that there are varying degrees of recognition of the problem and we'll do what we can to share, to enlighten, to educate at least from our standpoint of what is happening in each of these countries. >> is there anyone who hasn't had one before we go to a second round, yes, sir, brian from the "l.a. times." reporter: in syria, have you seen any indications that service to air missiles are in use by anyone in syria and what kind of threat would that pose? mr. clapper: there cert

traveling all over the south -- south asia region, again, being exposed to folks who were not like me. not like my soldiers. but learning. lessons learned. lessons learned. i told the general he probably gave my talk and his summation because it is so true, it's about how you understand people, and how you build relationships. that theme will come forth again as i talk here. that asimilymmetrical threat we faced in 1992, kind of -- things went on in the balkans. and on september 11th, 2001, as i sat in the pentagon as the vice director of operations on the joint staff, that threat became real in no uncertain terms. and as i spent four days in that pentagon without leaving, doing things to help that helped dete what our response would be to that devastating attack that would change all of us. to be sure, we were in a new era. lessons learned. we all got a crash course in it that day. that enemy we trained to defeat as a military no longer existed and maintaining security and protecting our national interests needed to occur more than at the end of a rifle by delivering a main gun round

they will reveal incidents that involve a professor in the south and southeast asia studies department. they claim the university failed to discipline the professor. this comes a week after the assistant basketball coach resigned over sexual harassment complaints. some other complaints involving faculty have come to light. the university continues to be criticized for it is response to the different cases. >>> police in new orleans say it appears road rage led to the shooting death of will smith and his wife were driving in the lower garden district of new orleans when their car was rear-ended. smith got out and exchanged words with the driver of that car. that's when the suspect shot smith and his wife multiple times. smith was pronounced dead at the scene. his wife is expected to survive. officers have taken the suspect into custody. will smith was 34 years old and won a super bowl with the saints. he leaves behind three children. >>> now to decision 2016. the next big contest in the race for president is just over a week away. that is the new york primary. meanwhile, president obama

states combined, that borders the three most volatile regions in central asia, middle east and south asia, or do we want to try to figure out a way to diffuse the conflict? what's interesting is when you look at what saudi arabia is most concerned about, they're not afraid that the iranians are going to use a nuclear weapon if they had one. they're much more concerned about iran's return to that place in power that they had before 1979. that's why this policy is so controversial and will continue to be, because the saudis have begun to realize, particularly with the price of oil declining, that they -- you know, their place in the region is diminishing and president obama's rather blunt comments in the goldberg interview put them on notice. i have to say, i thought it was, in some ways, refreshing. very unpolitical -- very undiplomatic. it was a way of letting the saudis know, you can't -- and the saudis have increasingly treated us as their policemen, and it was a nice way at a time that saudi arabia was going through its own very, very frangile transition of putting them on notice. i sa
