(f) here to see the flag raised for the first time since then. in the late '70s he served as head of the american intersection in havana and a long time critic of the u.s. trade embargo. i met him where he reflected on the importance of normalizing relations. >> it was owonderful morning for me. i've waited all these years . i mean to return. i mean i've been back to cuba many times but to return with normal conditions between the two countries. i had begun to believe it was never going to be in my lifetime. now, wonderfully it's happened. >> when you came here as the head of the intersection, did you think back then that relations would be normalized quickly? >> i was delighted to come back and to become the chief of the intersection under carter. and hoping that i could then help bring about dialogue, discussions, negotiations, and is leading to a

the fact is that the u.s. and european union, the transatlantic relationship is the most important relationship in financial trade. whatever people say, what matters is the reality. the reality is that our relationship is extremely important for both sides. affordsimply we can't neglecting it. >> let me go back to the state of the transatlantic relationship. i want your quick assessment. you might have a different perspective on how the obama administration has handled the relationship. i want you to lead us into the discussion of how the u.s. has also managed the war in ukraine, the annexation of crimea. paula: on your first question, i think it is excellent that we are having this discussion. i like very much the title. both of the ambassadors, in my view, were to dramatic on that question. >> we will have to look at gerard's twitter feed after that. paula: part of the administration wanted to pull it back. there was an equation -- a question of what it meant, certainly in terms of symbolism and in practical

the u.s. will continue working with the gcc to fight isil, al-qaeda, and deal with other regional threats. >> selling iran's nuclear deal to skeptical arab leaders won't be an he is task. u.s. secretary of state john kerry is trying to convince gulf countries that the deal is going to provide peace and prosperity in the region. but the general sentiment here is that iran will use that deal to further expand in the region. officials in saudi arabia, qatar qatar, kuwait and the uaeering said that iran is in involved in iran iraq and also syria and they'll further expend by shifting the political landscape in the region. this is why they're telling the americans that unless we get strong guarantees that they'll play a significant role in the region to safeguard against any future iranian influence we're not going to buy into this new deal. >> hashem ahelbarra reporting from qatar. the u.s. has announced that it will allow airstrikes, a new focus on helping to fight isil and al-qaeda-affiliateed gr

markus: we're starting with the u.s. economy and starting with a sign of strength from the world's biggest economy. but as you say, there is a twist. let's start from the beginning. the u.s. economy grew by much more than expected during the second quarter. figures show it expanded by 3.7% on the same period in 2014. that's much better than the first estimates of 2.3% growth. but it fuels the dilemma for the u.s. federal reserve. there's uncertainty among investors in markets when the fed will start raising interest rates. from near zero where they are at the moment, where they have been since the financial crisis. a strong economy is seen as an argument in favor of a rate hike but at the same time the u.s. central bank doesn't want to damage the u.s. economy by raising interest rates too soon. for more analysis of what's next, we can turn to the chief economist for f.a.o. economics and he's joining us from new york this thursday. thank you very much indeed for joining us, first of all, bob. what do you make of these late

questions remain, though. >>> now to the u.s. economy where employees are working more efficiently, according to the labor department this morning. productivity growth increased to a rate of 1.3% in the second quarter. secondly, wholesale inventories rose more than expected in june. in fact, by the largest amount in more than a year. that suggests that businesses are more confident that consumer spending will increase. >> it's an old-fashion crime with a new twist. regulators and prosecutors today charged a local group of regulators and hackers in an insider trading scheme that netted millions of dollars in illicit profits. harry thomps harry -- here is that story. >> reporter: today's national case is unprecedented in terms of the hacking at issue, the number of traders involved, the number of securities unlawfully traded and the amount of the profits generated. >> reporter: at a press conference, s.e.c. chair mary jo white detailing a groundbreaking case involving the global group of 17 hackers and traders and 15 firms and funds

the u.s. dollar. >> yesterday we saw safe haven buying into treasuries because we saw that manufacturing number that was weaker than expected. let's have a look at the ten year treasury note yield this morning. we're currently sitting at 2.155%. the ten year bund yield at 62 basis points. dollar strength yesterday despite that job in yields but today it's a little bit of a turn around. we're seeing some weakness ahead of cpi numbers and ahead of the fed minutes. euro dollar at 11071 and we did see the spike in the cable exchange rate of the pound against the u.s. dollar. 15664 after that cpi print for the month of july. that came in slightly higher than expected. you're seeing also continued pressure against the green back, 7342 on the continued job in commodity prices around the world. copper just hitting a fresh six year low. let's stick with commodities. brent and wti continuing their downward move today. we're off by around half of 1% for brent crude. 48.47. wti off by 0.76%. 41.55. wow, wh

the u.s. congress has the authority and the right under our constitution to in fact review and vote a resolution of disapproval. the president of the u.s. then has the right and the authority to exercise his veto, if you -- he wants, and i would expect that he would. then the u.s. congress has the right to override that veto. that's how our system works. i would hope the u.s. congress would not override that veto, because i believe that this plan is the most profound, the most far-reaching arms agreement ever negotiated and that will keep this country, israel, and our allies safer. senator: thank you, but what i am asking is, if the congress did override that veto, why would it matter to the iranians? what would they lose? undersec. sherman: they would lose an opportunity to have sanctions relief. they would lose the opportunity to end their isolation from the rest of the world. they would lose their opportunity to come into the community of nations. they may not care about that. and what i wou

now the u.s. rying to help somalia's struggling government. >> reporter: for almost a quarter century it has been a country in tatters. it has had 16 governments, mostly powerless and unable to stop the ride of al-shabab, that has destabilized not only somalia, but the entire horn of africa. president obama came to office vowing to decrease america's direct involvement in places like somalia, and use a combination of regional military forces to fight groups like al-shabab. in a visit to kenya last month, mr. obama touted his approach. >> as we speak kenya is working with ethiopia and with the united states and others to further degrade al-shabab's space of operations inside of somalia. >> reporter: but the president's trip was a stark reminder that seven years into his presidency, the fight continues to rage. the day after the president spoke in kenya, a car baum tack on a hotel killed 13. al-shabab claimed responsibility. though they are lost ground, experts say what is needed now is political sta

the impact on the u.s. lf is not big, but the impact on emerging markets would be fairly strong. alix: this was the chatter over the weekend on social media. what was the fed's response to this? matt: it's an interesting point she makes, that the u.s. inflation is relatively insulated from exchange rate movements, but there is still a big question on wall street how much the dollar appreciation we've seen has had an impact on inflation the last year? people are trying to figure out, it's more than zero. that's not necessarily helpful for people trying to figure out exactly what the impact has been, what it might be going forward. that peepers speaks more to the fact that it's less important for the u.s. than it is for other countries. scarlet: i was talking to about this to mike mckee. it's not totally deflationary. if we are importing, deflation is not went to be as extreme. scarlet: there is a distinction to be made. stanley fischer is one of the people who made comments. a little more hawkish. why are peo

two years ago the u.s. cut off military aid in protest to the overthrow of democratically elected president mohamed morsi. >> this is the symbol of power and prestige the egyptians have been seeking. new f-16s like these have just been delivered by the u.s. two years ago the obama administration suspended defense aid after the egyptian military led by then general el-sisi kicked mohamed morsi out of office. it was surprising because of the u.s.' long and close ties with egypt, but it felt it was a violation of political freedom. every year since 1987 washington has given cairo $1.3 billion in military aid. that money pays for american made fighter jets, helicopter, tanks, ammunition and training. every other year they would hold a training exercise called bright star, but that has not happened since the arab stringy erupted in 2011. when sisi now president attended the united nations assembly, he met with u.s. president barack obama and said they had reason to work together. >> everything from the palestinia

the u.s. could change course at the u.n. it makes it harder for the u.s. to defend israel at the u.n. if the israelis don't support him, he still has things that he could do. >> and it's august 5th. how long is he gone? >> until he's out of office or the vote? >> no until the vote. >> mid september. mid september is when the congress finally is going to weigh in. it's fully expected that they're going to be able to get enough votes to disapprove this deal. then the president vetoes it and then after that is when we have to watch it because it's not really just the republican party. what's critical here is it's the president's own party, the most loyal members of his own party are being pushed hard. it's not everyone. we were up on the hill yesterday taking a look and trying to get a sense of if the phones were ringing off the hook and they are in certain senators' offices saying we're getting more calls about defunding planned parent hood which provides abortions more than the iran deal. >> loyalty and politics. thank you. >>> a cash crisis forcing a closur

the u.s. ow going to have to regroup. it calls into question the whole strategy the u.s. has for training and quipping these vetted, moderate, syrian opposition fighters and then sending them into the battlefield. in this case, it clearly did not work, and the pentagon has an embarrassing setback on its hands. when i asks a spoke person if this was a setback, he said no it's a challenge. >> is there a concern that some of these deserters are defecting to al-nusra. >> no it doesn't appear they are flipping. it does appear that they -- it's not what they signed up for, and so they have -- they voted with their feet. there's another large group, about 18, by the way, who never actually made it to the unit they were embedding with, the so-called division 30 of the new syrian army. those were the forces they were going to be working alongside. and the syrian moderate forces there welcomed these addition, because they brought with them u.s. air power, as we saw on friday, when they were attacked they

at the time in the u.s. congress, the house of representatives was now controlled by northerners, free stators. they approved the to be get constitution -- that the pickup constitution, but the u.s. senate refused to even discuss the topeka constitution. so it died in washington. that was the very first constitution that was written in kansas. and weond constitution are looking at the title page of lecompton constitution, that was written in the fall of 1857 in lecompton, kansas, inside samuel building.odframe this constitution would have made kansas a slave state. it was endorsed by president james buchanan from pennsylvania. he was a northern man, but he was strong proslavery. his predecessor was franklin pierce, president franklin pierce, from concord, new hampshire. a strong pro-slavery mantra. the democratic party in the by thecontrolled southern influence, strong proslavery. what president buchanan was not counting on is stephen a douglas, the father of kansas in thery, who believed concept of popular s
