in the geopolitical interests of the united states and it's ours that's pure hypocrisy would you agree with that. absolutely and it is. strange in the sense that although islamic woman's have proven to one to be part of a democratic process and have been the victims of the lack of the market there is asia we continue to hear people accuse islamic movements or this movement so it's political it's of being on the democratic i think the major obstacle to democratization in the muslim world today as we stand in this very moment is the united states of america. and their allies in the west because they are the ones who count on and rely entirely on regimes that are this partake that are corrupt and simply because these regimes so their best interests democracy in our part in this part of the world is not in favor of the best interests as seen by those who are in power in washington and in the major capitals of western europe ok if i could go back to denver nader if if let's say in an imaginary world really imaginary that all of these these dictatorships that are so close to the united state

how about the united states? has anybody supervised or inspected the nuclear arsenal here in the united states? remember that the i.a.e.a. statute says that when it speaks of disarmament, everyone must disarm. secondly everyone must enjoy peaceful nuclear energy and third that proliferation must be stopped. now, what has the i.a.e.a. done in terms of disarmament? nothing? >> rose: so? >> ( translated ): the countries that have veto power have, in the meantime, done nothing, too, about it. it's quite natural. it's politicized from the very foundation of it. and now they don't like us and what we represent and they feel that the nuclear issues is one excuse to put pressure on us. but they're wrong and the time for that has passed. >> rose: okay, fair enough. who do you mean by the "zionist regime"? >> ( translated ): a regime that has occupied palestine and now forces its rule on that territory. >> rose: but why don't you just say aisrael? why don't you say the state of israel rather than the signist regime? >> ( tr

show cross talk is next for peter lavelle's guests clash over illegal immigration in europe and the united states. nineteen thirty eight england and france try to reason with hitler germany demands of the land and gets its way they all thought they had created a safety net for themselves in nineteen thirty nine the whole of europe isn't going to war efforts to establish a system of collective security nine hundred thirty eight failed and it's still on the agenda. the lessons to be learned from the munich agreement on r t. can you can. start. to. follow it and welcome to cross talk i'm peter lavelle who are they undocumented immigrants or illegal aliens a label that protects or punishes as an anti immigration groundswell threatens europe and splits the us we cast a cold eye over the debate what we find is heated rhetoric finger pointing and few easy answers. and you can. start. to discuss if immigrants should stay or go i'm joined by michelle they're low cost in phoenix she is the founder of mothers against illegal aliens in durham we go to jake a big dork he's a professor at duke universit

it says something and then you have on the major networks the united states they kind of well they just basically change it how does that happen and i know you read these reports. well i think it's unfair to say that the i.a.e.a. has ever given iran a clean bill of health there's been problems since at least two thousand and three with iran hiding information about uranium enrichment about secret enrichment facilities about separation of plutonium about nuclear weapons design and so i really don't think it's fair to say well we're going to this quote can i quote the i.a.e.a. here on september sixth the i.a.e.a. stated that the agency has quote continued to verify non diversion of declared nuclear material in iran to any military or other special purpose and quote that's pretty definitive isn't it. that's definitive are one part of iran's nuclear program they're saying that what iran has shown us we have seen that's not saying that the entire program gets a clean bill of health and that's the concern about iran is that it's doing certain things that it opens up to the i.a.e.a. and then i

states since all three of the you are in the united states. i think that the most important thing that everyone needs to recognize is that the debate in the united states is not without precedent there have been many episodes in american history where we've gone through the exact same debate if you look around the world there are countries from australia to europe that are undergoing similar debates immigration today and immigration historically has always been about the movement of people from poor countries to rich countries the threat that is perceived in rich countries is a threat primarily to the way of life we enjoy much better living standards in rich countries than in poor countries and the concern whether we're talking about the united states or we're talking about western europe is the concern that as more immigrants flow into the country there's a threat to the economic way of life. and you're saying they have borne what you're saying that you're saying that's a myth. and no i'm saying that this is the this is all very true but we ha

i think i can be equally especially mystic i think a lot of that describes the situation in the united states certainly use the letter d m like the great depression in the thirty's there is no leeway in terms of federal debt the federal government has just maxed out on its on its credit card to china to japan and other countries. now they're in a situation where even the generals are warning against the overindebtedness of of the united states as a national security issue i want to finish and i want to get back to that issue a little bit later if i go to you peter are you going to be a little optimism here. absolutely i think they're both have very interesting theories that as a citizen of the united states i'm just not seeing it what i'm seeing is that we've had three quarters in a row of positive g.d.p. growth where we're forecasting very slow economic growth of about one to one point four percent for the rest of the year in the bond market and the real problem here is that we've lost eight point four million jobs since december two thousand and seven and what we're not getting is en

know if i could go to michelle here michelle what why should why should be the united states getting and being involved in or want to be involved in the democratic process of another country like iran for example ok you may not like the outcome but that is you know what is why should the united states be so judge mental about the nature of the democracy in iran in other places i mean sure and you know you may not like it but that's the outcome but it's the choice of the people want it because it's down to ok i'll show you my cards i mean a lot of iranian regime i'm sure you may show you talking to michelle rhee she was talking to a show right now ok but show i mean is it really because it's not a western liberal democracy that is just like us because that's what he gets to when he gets into the greater middle east do you agree or disagree with that. well i would disagree i mean i think first of all. the promotion of democracy i mean the united states is founded on the idea that that democracy is the best political system for ensuring the rights of both the majority and the minority i

gone days are gone in the united states everything has been outsourced mentioned at the beginning to asia and to other countries even that the jobs that are being created in the united states are call center jobs because the wages in india have become too high for call centers i mean that gives you an idea of them like this and i appreciate i understand what you're saying but i think i think really has a right here you go first and we're going to go to martin peter go ahead ok ok what i see going on is that i talk to a lot of venture capitalists i'm a venture capitalist myself and i see them investing in start up companies now what i think is missing is a technology that will unleash corporate spending corporations in the u.s. have accumulated one point four trillion in cash that they're just sitting on because they haven't found a good place to invest it so what i'm looking at is trying to get a new technology on the order of the internet or many computers or or p.c.'s that will unleash a wave of investment by. companies and that will create lots of jobs now that. you don't do that.

the united states will not give up seats. none of the emerging powers can forge a deal around these issues. i think the longer it wai, the worst the deal will be for the united states. think it should act soon to forge a deal and bring these news actors into the security council on terms that are beneficial for the u.n. and for the united states. host: why do you think there is reluctance see? guest: i think there is a hesitation. if you have less power than you did before, there is a lot of discussion in the press about the relative decline of u.s. power. the united states is vastly still thmost powerful country in the world. in the world. i think the united states should geover the discomfort and move forward actors that will be coming in. these are not crazy countries by any stretch of the imagination. these are perfect sensible countries with major contributions to make. host: bruce jones is our guest from new york university. we will talk about the u.n. and if it is still revant. you can contribute by phone. theumbers for

consists of russia the united states the european union and the united nations has urged israel to extend its freeze on settlement construction in the west bank and gaza palestinians have said that israel can forget about direct talks if this moratorium is not extended and with these to go before the deadline of the moratorium israel has already said it is refusing to extend this moratorium so now the clock is ticking and after being on and off and on and off again direct talks between the israelis and palestinians did not take place for as long as two years and actually took place for the first time in two years earlier this month now meanwhile the united nations millennium development goal summit has also been taking place back in the year two thousand world leaders have agreed on a set of eight targeted goals which they hope to meet by the year twenty fifteen these include things like eradicating poverty and hunger in the world a very difficult task and so far results have been mixed especially considering the difficult economic situations that many countries are faced with right now a

states and the debt ratios are also close to what the united states is in the u.k. they say so and then in terms of how or how you are pad the situation no we are not particularly optimistic and beyond really politicians ees i mean again i mentioned i mean no one really actually said is he should have probably let a lot of those banks fail i mean many of the wall street's bangs that andrea bangs at the scene as they just did a visit money and if they if they get it wrong they get bad by the taxpayer if they get it right they just take it out as a bonus quickly enough so that when later on so are things done so are they there to get the taxpayer money again so that was the big problem but now really i don't really see an easy fix was a solution even from the federal reserve if you bring more money of a have more power it's not going to work because ireland greenspan even alan greenspan even recommended home on us before the barber came on to take all of these. mortgages the federal reserve made it much much worse so i'd best they're very incompetent or worse they act

serious about solving global problems such as nuclear proliferation knew that without russia and the united states working together little would be achieved the u.s. secretary of state says russia is a vital partner when it comes to solving global problems speaking to the council on foreign relations in washington hillary clinton spoke about wanting to promote relations with russia and the rest of the world she stressed that only through partnership can issues like nuclear disarmament and global terrorism be resolved. britain's special envoy to afghanistan has stepped down from his position amid speculation he was forced out sir sure wanted cooper coles was an outspoken critic of the military policy in the country advocating opening dialogue with the taliban responsible for coordinating the strategy in the region he was well known for his strong criticism of the u.s. led surge in afghanistan. is the world about to experience a double dip recession some insiders would seem to think so that debate is coming up next right here on our team on peter costello. if. he. and you can. follow and welc

before that he was russia's ambassador to the united nations. i spoke with him earlier today in the security council chamber at the u.n. here is that conversation. welcome. >> thank you. nice to be here, mr. rose. >> rose: you wrote a piece in "russian global affairs" in july 2010, sort of outlining how you saw sort of the new world order, to use a high faluting word. tell me what forces are at work and how does russia adjust to them? >> well, certainly i believe we would all agree that the world is changing. it's not only globalizing but becoming more and more competitive. new centers of economic power, financial power appear and certainly with economic and financial might comes political influence. and that's what we call multipolarity in progress and that certainly must be taken into account by all series foreign policy planners. the united states, i think, under the obama administration understands much better need to build coalition which was already evident during the bush administration time, but the obama foreign policy said very clearly

to have an exchange at the united nations. i think that would be very positive so that everyone can hear what we have to say. >> larry: secretary of state clinton says sanctions are biting your economy. said the sanctions are serious, can't be dismissed. are you worried about their effect and their continuing effect? >> translator: it seems to me you've raised several issues. the question is why does the u.s. government place sanctions that are over above those specified by the u.n.'s security council? is that not an illegal measure? is it not indicative of the hostility of the u.s., the american people, towards the iranian people and the u.s. administration, more importantly, towards the iranian government? that's one issue. the second issue is that sanctions really are unimportant to us because we have been under sanctions for over 30 years. furthermore, our economy is not based on the economy of the united states. it is self-contained economy. indigenous-based economy because we are able to provide for our own needs. interes

here in the united states, there are 2.5 million. can i request the judiciary here in the united states to show leniency and i would, in fact, seize this opportunity here and ask the judicial body of the united states, judicial leniency, in the case of the 2.5 million prisoners in this country. they have spouses. they have mothers, children, parents. many are young. >> larry: we'll have more with the president of iran right after this. my name is...peggy. callyou have problem?dit. peggy? ok, i've been waiting for fifteen minutes for someone to pick up. you're tenacious like bull. i like. please hold. no, no, no...pe- so pretty. anncr: want better customer service? switch to discover, where you can talk to a real person in less than a minute. you could switch for great gas mileage or seats that flip and fold with one hand. you could switch for up to 600 highway miles on a single tank of gas. or the hundred-thousand mile powertrain warranty. over a thousand people a day are switching to chevy. they're not just trading in, they're tradin

he went to the congress of the united states. he said to the congress, we need to have a ban on -- a ban or -- a moratorium on drilling off the cost of -- coast of california. this deliberative body held hearings, i assume, i haven't delved into that, but i do know the congress and the president issued a moratorium on drilling off the coast of california and to my knowledge, that moratorium is still in place. . if there was anybody drilling at the time, they probably felt like their contract rights were stepped on and the court ruled on it and must have ruled in favor of the congress and the president because the moratorium is still in place. what does that tell us about the right way to declare a moratorium? the right way is to go to congress. and with the congress, put forth the congress declaring a moratorium and the president enforcing that moratorium. that's the way it's supposed to operate if you read this little book, the constitution of the united states. that's what it says. that's not what we get. the president of the un

>> in the united states. by the press in the united states. but i thought it was a very successful visit. and, in fact, at the end of the visit, there was a very lengthy joint declaration that was made as to what the two countries needs toe do together. they were all very positive and i certainly take hard by that particular visit there was one point that was made by both presidents that the two countries need to improve strategic trust between the two of us, between two countries. and i think it's a very, very... >> rose: what's the problem in terms of the strategic trust. >> i think, as i said earlier, you know, there are people in america who thinks china is a threat to united states. they're people in china who thinks america never wished china well in the first place. and these are real issues. and is it real? how can we overcome these problems? we need to overcome some of these problems and in the case of the first instance, it's america's view china is a threat now china has no wish to challenge the united states of america. there's no r

get to the full senate as rapidly as possible our work is not done the full united states senate has to now debate this and ratify it. it's our hope that they're going to happen quickly before the end of the year and we will work to try to make that happen we had a very constructive process today as i think you saw. by judgment. the. long work of the committee of the administration to bring together representatives from almost every administration president nixon all the way through president george bush who testified that helped to build a consensus on this treaty this treaty will make america more secure it will assist us in moving towards the goal of less nuclear threats and for that reason we're proud of the actual who took the day off. well he said today the senate foreign relations committee did not just say ok to the three to the treaty they also passed the resolution on their treaty so what does that mean the resolution senators in this resolution senators express their concerns their understanding of the language of the treaty they they do this you know translation from engli

>> that is the way the united states of america works. when timothy mcveigh blew up the building in oklahoma city. >> where was he? >> in the united states of america. >> that it the dividing line. >> and made a division on what we will do with him. the most vicious criminal entitled to a trial or plea bargain. either he is entitled to the rights or not entitled to the rights. >> what if timothy mcveigh got away and went overseas then say wait until he comes back or take out the threat. >> we take out the threat. >> but you are not going to shoot him when gets off the plane, arthur. >> right now they have the ability to shoot him when gets on the plane. >> shepard: if he gets here then they don't want to deal with the rules of law. this is nation of rules. the law as rules. if he sends up in the system you have to give up the evidence. that is the rule. >> it is the rule. >> if he wants to come back to the united states and declare his innocence to all the charges he is free to do that and once he does that then all the protections of the

in this case, it's the united states of america. we should also understand that one of the essential pillars of american exceptionalism is the rule of law. if we have contempt for the rule of law, if we have some of the highest profile people in america openly speak about hiring illegals to take care of their home and at the same time advocate for the dream act which is amnesty for a specific class of people, we regard -- reward for illegal behavior, a magnet for bringing more children into the united states that are here illegally, that would be here illegally, and getting them to qualify under the dream act so they can go off and be funded partly by the taxpayers and go off to college. or the argument that comes from the department of defense which is that we can't -- it's good for our military readiness to have the dream act. that's another colin powell argue. and it does come out of the pentagon to some degree. how could it be that a nation of 306 million people can't field an army without granting citizenship to people that are

he is here in new york for the united nations general assembly. very pleased to have him here at this table for the first time. first of all, welcome. >> thank you, charlie. >> charlie: tell me about the earthquake and how you approached that. >> it was the fifth worst earthquake in the known history of mankind, and it s devastating. it was 10 days before we took office, and it really cost us first of all more than 500 lives. there are a lot of people missing still now. in terms of destruction, it was devastating. we lost one-third of our schools. so 1.35 million students couldn't go back to school because their schools were destroyed. one-third of our hospitals. we lost almost 200,000 homes. 1,000 miles of roads, bridges, airports, ports -- it was really devastating, but i am proud the way we have faced it because the chilean people are reconstructing the country and we are doing a very good job. >> charlie: what did you learn in doing this? >> that first of all, you have to unite the whole country in order to achieve the goal of reconstructing e

we hear the term reset people obviously go to the united states in russia but i'd like to pose before we get to that reset if it's real or not we have the greatest reset in international relations in the last twenty years since the end of the cold war is the new engagement that russia and china have which is quite remarkable ok so i want to talk about this triad a little bit here but first you know let's look at the reset is real and then we'll put china into it is the reset real or is it just a media event just for both sides to say it can't go on like this we really do have to talk to each other and we have to have some kind of moment and it was a change of administration it's a change of administration and even if it only were a formula that allowed the two countries to talk together after a very difficult period in the relationship it would be important. that's what the reset has been about the countries are talking together now in a way they haven't in the past four or five years there's an intensity of engagement the senior levels that we haven't seen at least since the early ye
