involvement in the region we know that the u.s. has handed a lot of countries around the world but you know there are currently a ton of bases in latin america and there's still more developing so should the u.s. be interfering with these countries to fight the drug war talk more about this now i'm joined by adrian keene professor at american university thanks so much for coming in so let's take a look really quickly at the violence happening in hundreds right now some say that it's the most dangerous country in the world. and eighty six deaths per one hundred thousand and also the homicide rate has just grown astronomically it's doubled in the last five years so why is this well in particular it's jump since the coup in two thousand and nine which the u.s. supported by basically by funding and approving fraudulent and violent elections carried out by the same military that carried out the coup and and then continuing the farce of recognizing a government that the hundreds themselves didn't recognize and it took several years for ot

the u.s. risk ok martin you want to jump in the u.s. debt is the euro as a u.s. soldier and is that all of your. base they yet go ahead you are going to repeat that us over and as i would suggest a problem it's not saying as by the promise so that's that's why the you know kind of ride the chinese are looking to invest in some other things with some form of banking whether it's the holidays or industries so in europe actually they're buying up like needing german companies now and over the place looking at physical industry i think that for quite enough folks over in bonds but within the u.s. and europe and again that have to write it off rather than throwing good money out of it so in america we view last word twenty seconds and then we're going to. give you the last word go ahead. i even though you know the story here is this going to take a long time chinese investment in physical assets actually was flat last year it was going up for years it was flat last year they couldn't find things to buy you've got to have an alternative to the dollar for the dollar to d

fiscal policy may be worse than greece but the u.s. has a wealth backing its debt is completely out of order compared to even proportionally to what greece has backing its debt so when you're buying a dollar you're not just betting on u.s. fiscal policy you're betting on the capacity behind the currency and in that respect you know europe is not even integrated market the u.s. is much stronger position than europe even though i agree with martin completely that u.s. fiscal policy is terrible ok mark you want to jump in there. but i was because i also think it's worth noting that a very large share of chinese in asian holiness of u.s. assets are in the securities fannie and freddie's and certainly while they've got some problems with those agencies there's also really mortgages and housing and housing back in those debt in the way that there's some real collateral behind it that's not to mean that china is going to come here and start foreclosing on american homes but it does mean that there's a payment stream there where is greek debt i

the u.s. legal rights international shipping lanes and delay and service under water cables and to develop vast amounts of oil, natural gas and minerals off the u.s. coast and in the deep water sea bed. the treaty would benefit several industries keen to economic growth, job creation and u.s. competitiveness. it would benefit the energy industry by providing sovereign rights to seabed resources' 200 miles off our coast. if certain geological criteria are met, the zone of the sovereignty could extend to 600 miles or the so-called extended continental shelf. proper delineation of the extended continental shelf could bring an additional 4.1 million square miles of ocean floor under u.s. sovereign rights, an area larger than the lowest -- than the lower 48 states. the treaty would also allow the u.s. to have a u.s. expert elected to the international body that determines the claims in the arctic and there are going to be a lot of them. securing international recognition for u.s. rights in these wea

everyone knows that the u.s. is waging a war in afghanistan iraq pakistan and many other countries around the arab world but a lot don't know that the u.s. is also waging war and latin america last saturday the d.h. shot and killed a drug suspect in a remote area of honduras this happened only weeks after hundreds of police advised by the da killed four civilians traveling by boat it's all part of a new aggressive drug enforcement strategy called operation and bill in which a team of d.n.a. agents along with six u.s. state department helicopters are working with the police to fight the drug war now the u.s. tonight has responsibility for the latter but the incident has raised concerns about u.s. involvement in the region so should the u.s. be interfering with these countries to fight the drug war talk more about this i was joined earlier by adrian pyne a professor at american university your first discussed increasingly high homicide rate in honduras. in particular its jump since the coup in two thousand and nine

the. u.s. airport arrogated by the f.b.i. well this is julian assange just chance really to set the record straight he's just spent his third night in the ecuadorian embassy of course this is the latest dramatic twist in the ongoing saga it's been an eighteen month legal battle for him and the end of last month we saw the u.k. supreme court reject his appeal against the extradition to sweden and the legal team in asuncion south running out of options really and so he took this step thinking asylum at the ecuadorian embassy he says he's hopeful that that's going to be accepted if he were to go to sweden not only is the pretrial detention in sweden extremely harsh he wouldn't have access that he does right now to the media all the same freedoms remember he's been on that house arrest in the u.k. for more than five hundred days yet no clear indication of exactly what the outcome will be and the stakes remaining extremely high. but under house arrest a sound recordist series of interview shows that right hand on our t.v. he's spo

remember that in the u.s. as the knowledge and the legs a secret carries the death penalty still remember wiki leaks everything is just huge amounts of information that the u.s. diplomatic cables that were released in two thousand and ten worst huge embarrassment to the u.s. government so i mean there is no mistaking the fact that julian assange is a man he certainly from his actions and from what he said is very fearful of what would happen to him in the u.s. official for his license. very now every forty eight thousand one hundred thirty five if they are filed their statement. from the grand jury. the truth there are things going. public record about how. every. report by the f.b.i. well this is julian assange just chance really to set the record straight he's just spent his third night in the could do in embassy of course this is the latest dramatic twist in the ongoing saga it's been an eighteen month legal battle for him and the end of last we saw the u.k. supreme court rejects his appeal against the extra

now the u.s. and israel are reportedly behind a computer virus the aimed at spying on iran's nuclear activities the obama administration now faces claims of hypocrisy as it's always i denounce a computer hackers i think there is a targeting america is a guy and she can't has a story. that american officials may sound defensive when they talk about cyber attacks as being a major threat to the country's security a weapon of mass disruption you could have a cyber attack that would be as consequential in terms of the economy maybe even in terms of the loss of the ryan fashions we typically associate with more fry the next pearl harbor that we confront could very well be a cyber attack that cripples our our power system certainly our grid acts of terror could come not only from a few extremists and suicide vests but from a few keystrokes on the computer but it turns out the u.s. government itself carries out cyber attacks against other nations the washington post cites officials speaking on condition of

the top u.s. commander in afghanistan has ordered new restrictions on airstrikes targeting alleged militants hiding in residential homes. the directive prompted the afghan government to claim the u.s.-led occupation force has agreed to stop bombing residential areas and homes altogether, but u.s. officials say that the attacks will continue, now under stricter guidelines. there was widespread anger over the latest nato attack that killed 18 civilians, including nine children. general allen met with some of the families to apologize. >> a hand grenade was thrown. three of our people were wounded. we called for the people who were shooting to come out, and then the situation became more and innocent people were killed. >> when our forces kill or harm afghan people, we are very said. i have come here today to offer my condolences and regrets, and importantly, to apologize to each of you for this tragedy. >> the new directive comes two years after david curious also issued new rules ever seen as a step

the u.s. congress through our foreign aid or the world bank of which we are members. if a treaty were to be ratified, they would receive a permanent seat on the council of the authority. it would not be accountable to the american people more than any other un agency is accountable. it must be akaged that the united nations has a poor record in administering the programs. the un oil for food program was a multibillion dollar scandal. businesses as the chairman and the ranking member have indicated have expressed support for the treaty. it would provide greater certainty which i agree could be helpful. i was in business for 20 years and there is no question that they make that argument and it's a valid one. it needs to be consider and weighed. the most persuasive argument for the law in my view is the u.s. navy's desire to lock in navigation rights and it's correct that the treaty would provide benefits and principals and making it easier to resolve certain disputes. the navy has done quite well

britain and the u.s. e said to be considering giving president asad clemency and safe passage out of syria if he goes to an international conference on a power handover. from the universal peace federation angio believes it's a move designed to soften russia and china's objections to what they see as the west's aggressive rhetoric i think this is a tactical standpoint by the west specifically by the u.s. and the british or the brits in order to maneuver actually this is a political maneuvering in the middle east or forward in order to attack such. russian let's say back up for it or the chinese even back up for this new i'm actually idea by the west in order for them to get the i mean reserve year you know the out of the presidency i mean bush had last heard and this is their own tactical actually or strategical interests actually in the middle east and to the above all is syria so the whole scenario i think it's an american movie illustrated and directed could be by the brits. but it's more waiting for yo

the u.s. embassy in baghdad is the biggest u.s. presence in the world with approximately 16,000 staff and contractors. questions remain about the state department's ability to operate in this still precarious security environment, and handle the significant work load associated with the processing of billions of dollars worth of arms sales to the iraqi government. a diplomatic presence of this size requires sustained oversight from congress, and i look forward to continued engagement with our nominee upon confirmation to ensure our footprint in iraq is the right size and that we have the right amount of resources to pursue our interests. the president has nominated brett mcgurk to represent our interests against the myriad of significant challenges in iraq. mr. mcgurk, perhaps due to his great upbringing in pittsburgh, pennsylvania is imen enthely capable to assume this position. of course, there are other reasons for his preparation, but it doesn't hurt that you have roots in pittsburgh. he's

so far the u.s. has been really negative it has intimidating whistleblowers just the few months ago this is less than six months ago i had. actually n.s.a. or used to be with the cia insider who came to me and said instead of blowing the whistle he or she was thinking of taking his case which is also the order documented and criminal actions by the united states government. and take it to another country request political asylum and maybe even get the published this document and these issues either in form of books or series of documents from outside the united states so the reason this person came to consult with me was what would be a good place for him or her to go whether it was new zealand while i told this person to forget about the so-called old notion of the liberal you or i mean less than you because you're talking about sweden and you're talking about extradition treaties what people they failed to mention sweden's record in the past ten years for example in two thousand and six in the unite

well later we report on how the u.s. is prying to other countries business washington that takes cyber spying to international level spending billions of dollars on the most complex one of where. dozens died this month sectarian violence. blamed by some experts in the u.s. see war against china. fifteen of the world's largest banks have been rocked by a credit score downgrades the rating agency moody's delivering on what it had long promised to do those eight include goldman sachs morgan stanley bank of america bank of scotland and deutsche bank powerhouses domestically and internationally the move could make it harder for them to keep existing clients or attract new ones and their money so say they had the downgrades could trigger a fresh market panic and a new exodus to gold trial human growth economic blogger and founder of the website wide awake news says the end goal of the move is to spread fear. i think what we're going to see is this play out over the next couple weeks we're going to see more fear we're going to s

the u.s. risk ok martin you want to jump in the u.s. debt is the euro the u.s. so there i mean. basically yes. repeat that us over and as i would suggest the problem is nothing as by the promise so that's that's why though you're kind of ride the chinese are looking to invest in some other things with some form of banking with a hollow this industry so in europe actually they're buying up like needing german companies now all over the place looking at physical industry i think they have for quite enough folks over and bones both in the u.s. and europe and again that have to write it off rather than throwing good money after bad so we do you realize we're twenty seconds and then we go right. ahead. i even that you know the story here is going to take a long time chinese investment in physical assets actually was flat last year it was going up for years it was flat last year they couldn't find things to buy you've got to have an alternative to the dollar for the dollar to decline even when u.s. fiscal policy is bad all right gentlemen to jump in would run out of time and we'll see

and even bigger treated in the u.s. and continue to be you know financing the u.s. so that combination is what is making china very dominant let me give you one example one example so take the fact that china you know finances the u.s. right or to so much cash three point three trillion dollars worth of cash if europe gets into trouble well you know it which would happen which country in the world has the ability to bailout your north the united states china because this three trillion dollars and when it has that power or that ability it can always exercise power what could be political ramifications for that as far as crucial foreign policy issues for example over syria will the u.s. pay more attention to what china thinks about certain issues well if you take it on for example i think it's you know the u.s. wants china to be on its side and you know if china were to sit take north korea for example you know it's a great example you know if china were on the side of the u.s. . things would be so much easier but but the fact that china has an independent view on nor

i think if the u.s. row said, we will not be prosecuting wikileaks cordially in assange, delaware indictment, the grand jury is over, etc., etc., i do not think julian assange would have any issue about going to sweden for interrogation on these charges. what this is about is the u.s. want to get their hands on him and put him into an underground cell with no communications, give him life imprisonment. people have already called for his death. he was faced with a terrible situation. considering he is a person who is exposed massive u.s. war crimes in iraq and afghanistan and wikileaks cables. >> extradition proceedings were to commence next week, june 28. the have any idea how long an application for asylum normally takes customer >> i am not sure i and a stand. >> the decision to send him to sweden. >> he would have had to be in sweden by july 7. as people in the u.s. know, if you apply for political asylum, they can take a week or two or three, four, five years. we do not know what that or will do. we k

provide the u.s. china might say well we don't like your military presence in the pacific your naval presence and you have to you know get rid of them so economic power can always be leveraged for political and foreign policy objectives the good things that one of the reasons not to get all four kind of anxious about this is that it is a mutually dependent relationship you know so one country doesn't want to inflict too much damage on the other because it backfires on yourself but that being said there are areas where you know some countries you know china has more power and it could use that too and i mean like for example as i said you're on north korea or iran or you know the fact it's just so much financial power and economic power can always be used for political ends but isn't that a good thing in a sense that there it restores some kind of balance when there is not just one kid on the block ruling everything but there is they cared consulting with everyone else because it is dependent on another

and the result today is u.s. semiconductors which were half the world market share in the 1980s of japan are now double the japanese market share. in terms of supply and semiconductors account for one of the top in the united states. they have gone into upper new york state now with global foundries and the years of turbulence are behind us. we are now very good friends with the japanese producers and their government working together on things like energy saving and reduction of use of harmful chemicals. so what do we need now? we need to have market stability, predick ta built for the japanese and u.s. producers. we need to -- for the chinese perspective, we need to avoid large deposits and there is room for enhanced mutual corporation in r and d and chinese investment in the u.s. market. ultimately, trade measures and domestic policy should be integrated into a strategic approach as we did with semiconductors down the road, we get the europeans involved as well. they face some of the concerns that we do. the bo

contrary to the u.s. position, which actually sees iran as an enemy, the eu does not see iran as an enemy. there's no enemy picture related to the question of diplomatic contacts with iran. so this is a different position. so i think the european union should have a long-term strategy with engagement rather than containment of iran. and as the first step in this long term engagement, there's a proposal by the european parliament to establish presence in iran, actually in the form of a permanent delegation. secondly, it is pornd to know that the nuclear issue, it's only part of eu's relationship with iran, and this should be balanced with economic incentives as well as the question of human rights, which is very important for the european union and particular to the parliament. so the nuclear proliferation issues would be combined with these incentives. and thirdly, there's the question of the region's security, which is important for the europeans. and here i think we should at least support the confidence

for that the u.s. and its allies are preparing for syria's transition of power the white house says president said handing control to the opposition will help bring an end to the fifteen months of bloodshed a number of western and arab states have long been pushing for regime change but also it has maintained his nation's real war comes from outside meanwhile reports have emerged suggesting britain is planning to set up camps in syria where troops and agents will help the rebels fight against the government middle east expert tarak alleve believes foreign powers are largely responsible for the country's dire situation. when the americans bear vassal states like group some talk about transition what they're effectively mean is regime change that is what they did in libya with dire consequences as we can see in that country today in syria the plan to bring both sides to the table and have a negotiated settlement is obviously the best way to move forward but the united states and britain and their other al

you know the u.s. negotiating team not having the space from congress to be able to leverage those sanctions and potentially. preventing the europeans from lifting their own saying. some of their sanctions the very the ones that are coming up very soon on iranian oil exports so basically by congress presenting letters like this warning against lifting sanctions at all. you know unlike previous times where you hear the iranians are playing for time the iranians are willing to make a deal you have to have the iranians very concerned that sanctions are about to hit at the end of the month he's very the sanctions can be absolutely crippling on the majority of the people there don't necessarily affect those that you know at the highest level of power but they are you know just brutal and really detrimental to the lives of people there yet these are the same type to say we saw against saddam hussein which as we all know didn't result in first of all saddam or his regime suffering his people did all of the sta

he says the u.s. and europe must recognize iran's right to the peaceful use of nuclear energy. >> it's a big misunderstanding if they think that iran is under pressure by sanctions. no, not at all. yes, sanctions have been costly. sanctions have caused extra expenses for us, but they haven't been able to, you know, to force iran to give up its rights. >> he points out that iran's nuclear program has become a matter of national pride because the country has been able to independently build related technology. he says iran will never give up any part of its achievement, but it's prepared to make it transparent enough to answer any questions. >>> people in tokyo are enjoying a beautiful sunny morning even though the capital is in its rainy season. sayaka mori joins us with the world weather forecast. >> that's right. it's the rainy season in tokyo, but we're expecting dry and warm conditions here in tokyo. and the nice weather will likely continue into the weekend. meanwhile, the northern half of japan an

the u.s. the u.s. you know they coordinate the efforts of some arab countries in providing weapons into syria which russia sees as an action which or undermines kofi annan six point peace plan so there are certain issues that down there is certainly nothing to nothing groundbreaking to expect from this summit. i mean there are all of them all the major global players are here to talk about those issues and i as we know it's . not just syria that the two countries disagree on we talked a little bit before you know the u.s. refusing to change their plans to build this u.s. missile defense shield but also this list and i want to talk with you about this list of eleven u.s. officials that russia has come out with in some ways symbolic to say you know hey you want to talk to us about human rights violations why don't you talk to yourself first how has this list come out yet and who could possibly be on it. well i first of all i want to give a little bit of context here there are attempts in congress right n

i am proud to say that in the world of reality, the u.s. has doubled its renewable energy production in the last three years. we have doubled our renewable energy production in the last three years. it is not time at all for us to be able to do a u-turn or to press the pause button on what we are doing on renewable energy across the country. that is the world i live in. the world of reality. the world of dealing with what we have to deal with to accomplish the imperatives of our national, economic, environmental security for the u.s. that is what we have been working on since i became secretary of interior of the 21st of january, 2009. let me read you a couple of things that are related to that. another reality of this town is that sometimes, those who live in the fairy tale world of politics have a very short memory. there is a gap that it was just 2010, just a little over two years ago -- there was an oil well 5,000 feet below the gulf of mexico which was spewing out at a rate of 50,000 barrels of oil a day into the gulf. nobody knew what

it's just the beginning and the u.s. is preparing the battlefield for another type of covered action we're setting precedent for other nations and that's where the real problem lies because we've been criticizing china for allegedly attacking united states companies and u.s. governments while the same time engaging at this in the same conduct with other countries feel bomb administration has openly confirmed hacking websites but only if alleged al qaeda sympathizers in yemen the u.s. secretary of state described this cyber effort as part of a larger attack on terrorism but many fear the u.s. cyber efforts go well beyond that. as u.s. defense authorities go offensive in cyber warfare the pentagon's cyber command has fast tracked the development of the weapons the administration just announced a one hundred ten million dollars program to solicit proposals from universities and video game manufacturers to so much hype about cyber war is that some people that seem to be in the authority about war start talking about technolog

the u.s. and the u.s. is a debtor so it's this combination of the size of the economy the fact the big trader and the fact that it's a creditor confers on it a lot of power that's today and over the next ten fifteen years all these numbers are going to go in china's favor so the china's going to become an even bigger economy than the u.s. and even bigger treated in the u.s. and continue to be you know financing the u.s. so that combination is what is making china very dominant let me give you one example one example so take the fact that china you know finances the u.s. right or to so much cash three point three trillion dollars worth of cash if europe gets into trouble well you know it which would happen which country in the world has the ability to bailout you're not the united states china because this three trillion dollars and when it has that power or that ability it can always exercise power well could be political ramifications for that as far as crucial foreign policy issues for example over syria
