the view of the united states around the world has arisen. not anywhere and i can talk about why in some places. but the view of u.s. leadership in the world has risen in terms of a positive view of it and approv of that. and our presence dramatically, charlie, since president obama came into office... now, i know that's a... an end.. kind of an imprecise measure. but it reflects, i think, the style of leadership that president obama has asserted around the world. >> re: i've heard this in different places but specifically about you that you took note of someone saying that the chinese were pleased that we were engaged in ghanistan, engad in iraq and had a certain footprint in the middle east becse they felt we re distracted and could not be as competitive with them as we might be. >> well i don't know that i'v ever said that. >> rose: well, you've heard it it's been pressed by even the chinese. >> i guess what i'd say is this. we're going act in a way that's in our interest. as i said, charlie, at the outset, we assessed as early as the tran

the problems in greece and in europe alone with uncertainty over whether the debt limit here in the united states will be raised evolves from a businesses hesitant to invest more aggressively. however other analysts say job growth came to a halt the second month in a row which suggests a sharp slowdown not merely a blip but that the us is getting closer to recession not that this is a blip in the road to recovery and that the broad weakness in the jobs report means excuses such as natural disasters basically mean squat and take a look at this chart this shows the average duration of unemployment look at this a look in two thousand and ten look at how that compares this touted recovery to past ones it is much worse and some analysts say this points to a structural unemployment problem with a big chunk of the population that are permanently out of the workforce earlier i spoke with less leopold he's an economist he's also author of this book the looting of america how wall street's game of fantasy finance destroyed our jobs pensions and prosperity and what we can do about it i asked him what

the united states and spanish, that's this one. the point of this is it's a sensitive issue for mexicans in mexico and mexicans in the united states and for americans in mexico. for americans in the united states, that's a lot of people. slighted suspension of having any kind of double discourse. one thing in mexico and something else in the note states. the best way to makes sure that's the case is to have the book published at the same time, same book, same time, different place. the book is organized in a series of double chapters, odd and even, and even, on an even, and then a final one. each one of these two chapters, four groups of two chapters is made up of one, a so-called national character trait of the mexican people. as arguable as the term may be and as upset as the anthropologist can get at me for using these sorts of terms. the second part, the second chapter in that subgroup is a description of a reality of current mexico which conflicts or contradicts widely the character trait that we have. there several of these in

obama was europe's candidate for president of the united states, as you know. we were entranced, infused. i was in washington on the night he was elected. it was a magical moment. there is without question-- and it was lovely to have him in europe a few weeks ago and he did a great job and so on. but there is a certain sense of disappointment. >> rose: what's the disappointment. >> that this has not been this moment of regeneration of the restoration of america's soft power of american leadership? the world. now i think that is in part to be laid at obama's own doo that he is he's super cautis. thate won't take risks a go out there. that this enormous empsis on consensus building at crucial moments. and also i think he's learnedn the job. but i have to say given the structural problem that i've described in the american political system, given the list of problems he inherited when he came into office i think you would have had to be a churchill on steroids to turn this around more rapidly. >> rose: so as he argues, the unemployment rate of 9.plus percentage was

how could it benefit the united states? how can it be made clear that there are alternatives so that the dependency doesn't exist? so, the issue here is not shout have a close relationship with india. we will have a close relationship with india because we share a common interest, economic, political, military. the question is how do we shape that relationship? and i think one of the problems the united states has is a thing in terms of friends and enemies. this is a friend, and i've a friend, i want to be generous and forthcoming. think of it more as a business relationship. i had a business relationship with this person. i may or may not be his friend. that has nothing to do with the. i want to make sure i have options. and i think it would be more healthy if we were to place the framework of u.s. relation countries to depersonalize it. >> host: that's exactly what's been going on in pakistan is that we have, in fact, made our dependency so clear with them. and actually they have a sense that our strategic calculation in t

department of commerce the same number of jobs that have been cut from the united states in the last decade have been added to these companies overseas operations it's a phenomenon that angers many americans who are struggling to make ends meet i think it's despicable disgusting and we have people here that have worked here all of their lives in a losing jobs left and right because somebody on top wants to make a buck and pay the cheapest possible deal or more mine dollars to go to stimulate the economy here in america i think the american companies should hire american workers. because of the shrinking middle class and the fact that middle class wages are decreasing over the last thirty years so many people here they don't have jobs due to me. and i do think that is the wrong thing to do. over thirty and it's not just manufacturing work american i t. companies and innovation jobs are also moving here in droves as well as huge savings on wages many companies say india's fast growing economy and young workforce make it a desirable place to find staff there are amazingly talented peopl

and some governments-- like ours here in the united states-- have been... have responded very weakly so far. but i think actually an approach that bob zell leg of the world bank describes as in this case the coalitions of the willing is getting traction. and smaller deals as compared to 166 nations trying to agree on one approach-- succeeding kyoto, cancun and so forth-- smaller deals t important ones are actually being done. >> rose: give an example. >> well, the anti-deforestation program which actually was an complishment at copenhagen in which conservation international has tremendous role in is actually making progress around the world. and peter, you should pick it up. >> rose: pick it up in context of what is the role of conservation international. >> so, you know, conservation international has a view of the world which is... kef receive a you are a... we have to have our head in the sky and feet in the mud. we have to understand the policy frameworks that drive business and drive development and we also need to show that they are... show how those l

of what could lead the united states who are the united states towards collapse is the decline in our economy but this isn't unique our economy declined during the one nine hundred thirty s. during the great depression and we eventually got out of the great depression so i would see where you can see whether the united states is going to collapse but many people including are you new and i think every thinking person is concerned about the future of the united states today what night a collapse look like if it were to happen to american society what might a collapse look like of it happened to american society we can think of a variety of scenarios beginning with the worst and going to gentle ones the worst the worst scenario would be a nuclear war in which civilization was wiped out and most people were killed and the people left the law it would be my friends in the highlands of new guinea who recently were using stone tools and can figure out how to use stone tools again so that would be a grass to collapse. a gentle a collapse would be conditions such as thos

that money comes back to the united states. we're moving on all fronts, a lot of strength in the company, a lot of energy. very proud of the progress we've made. >> we'll come right back with dan akerson, the ceo of general motors. i'm going to ask why he, the ceo of general motors is actually in favor of a gas tax when we come back. and 24/7 help from award-winning customer support to take control of my finances and my life. i tap into the power of revolutionary mobile apps. to trade wherever. whenever. life isn't fully experienced sitting idly by. neither is investing.

i don't think we got a single positive review in the united states. the most positive review we got was from israel which is "the new york times" of israel coverage of the book and a three separate pieces including one major review and all three of those pieces so we have much better treatment in israel and in the united states. >> host: why is that? >> it is almost impossible in the united states to criticize israel or the u.s.-israeli relationship and in the mainstream media. if you do it, you will pay a price haircut israelis are much more comfortable about themselves and much more aware of their foibles and much more open in a free society when it comes to talking to israel. it is quite amazing to the extent that israel is a taboo subject in the united states. >> host: why? >> guest: my view is the strongest supporters of israel here in the united states wants israel and the united states to have a special relationship. they want to give israel large amounts of diplomatic assistance and material and to give that assistance without qualification and

the united states, by contrast, does not have a solvency problem. the american economy remains one of the world's most competitive with many of the fastest-growing companies and most of the advanced industries. it houses thez the best capital markets in the world, the greatest universities, the most dynamic society, america is dem grammatically vibrant. the only rich country that will see the population grow over the next 25 years. america could face a liquidity problem. that is, it could have difficulty financing the debts and deficits if markets lose faith in it. but let's be clear. this has not happened yet. right now the world is lending to american more cheaply than ever before. the most important difference between greece and america is this, america has many paths to solve this deficit problem. were it to implement the simpson bowls deficit plan for example it would instantly give america among the strongest public finances of any rich country. where congress allowed the bush tax cuts to expire, returning rates to where they were under bill cl

and that is the reason why people don't like the united states in pakistan. you haven't told your story, you walked away from pakistan, and by and large there is this whole fallout of the perception, management. secretary clinton went there, did some town hall meetings. guess what? the class went up. now, i mean, i won't overplay this from 11% approval rating it went up to 21%, maybe 10% gain. but, hey, trying to explain your position to people, if it was an election year in the united states and this was happening in iowa, you'd all make headlines out of it. you have to keep it sustained. and this is another problem you have. because you've painted pakistan as a hardship -- [inaudible] most american diplomats and it's not a family posting, so most american diplomats go there for one-year posting. three months of unpacking, six months of service, six months of packing again. your case is going unheard. i mean, sometimes i make a better case, if i may say so, for u.s./pakistan relations on pakistani television than your entire government, and i am not paid half

is it in the united states? or is it in lines in the foreign countries, people waiting to come into the united states? i would submit that if those who are in the united states illegally are too go to the back of the line, it's not a line in the united states. the people in line to come into the united states legally are by definition not in the united states. they're outside the united states. they're in their home country. they're following the laws of america. they're lined up to come in the right way. god bless them for doing that. but that line that line of legal waitees, the line of people willing to respect american immigration law, get in line and wait in line, isn't scrust some short little old line you can put 11 million to 20 million people behind and think you'll process them through. that line of people who are respecting american laws and are waiting to come into the united states legally, none of them are in the united states. it's 50 million strong, mr. speaker. 50 million people have taken the tr

secretary janet napolitano caved and downsized the entire domestic terrorism unit until there was just one guy left and he had just one guy overseeing all the domestic terror threats in the country meanwhile everyone else of the h.s. is looking into islamic terror threats which doesn't seem to make much sense according to the f.b.i. own data about terrorism in the united states take a look at this chart it breaks down the f.b.i.'s numbers on what groups and carried out terror attacks in the us between one thousand nine hundred and two thousand and five including nine eleven turns out muslims are responsible for only six percent of all terror attacks the rest is primarily homegrown domestic terror mostly committed by christians so it doesn't p.h.s. have it backwards should there be more people at the department looking into threats beyond islamic terror for example threats from right wing christian fanatics like anders breivik who brought unspeakable violence to norway last week here offer his take on this is brian fisher director of issue analysis of the conservative american family as

the united states and the allied powers anton 1934.his was a totally said -- totally different situation. britain and france were not available to help. he was widely criticized, much more so. my book does not do justice to that particular subject, i regret to say. >> would you address the eisenhower and vietnam? >> i sound like a broken record. i tell you i know a lot. i do know about that. he clearly made the decision not to intervene in indochina in 1954, particularly to save the french at the siege. he had a number of advisers who wanted into. he thought and thought about it and was surrounded by a number of people who thought he should. he went over and came back the next day and said i'm not going to send one soldier to die on those rice paddies. he didn't. having said that, eisenhower left a bit of a mass. the geneva conventions of 1954, i used to teach a course on it. the geneva convention of 54 called for unifying elections in vietnam. those elections never took place because the united states supported in effect the creation

i'm lauren lyster and your watching r t well the big question the million dollar question is the united states three weeks away from financial collapse well we don't know but that's what some argue the u.s. is getting closer to with its failure to raise the country's fourteen point three trillion dollars debt ceiling now despite another week of failed debt talks between lawmakers president obama had a press conference today and he is still pushing for a big long term solution here's what he said. i'm happy to consider all options all alternatives that they're looking at the things that i will not consider. are a thirty day or a sixty day or a ninety day four hundred eighty day. temporary stopgap resolution to this problem this is the united states of america and we don't manage our affairs here in three month increments. year we don't risk u.s. default. on our obligations. because we can't put politics aside this coming from officials who haven't been able to put politics aside in missing past deadlines and who are trying to agree on all of this a big plan to tackle the deficit just thr

the united states won the other semifinal against france, 3-1. japan scored nine minutes after sweden was allowed a goal. and then the captain netted a goal putting the team in the lead. and then scored four minutes later. that put the national team into the final securing a first medal for the country. japan will have to beat the united states on sunday to win its first ever world cup victory. the united states is gunning for its third title. >> it was a very good game. we hope japan gets the world championship. >> it was fantastic. i have to root for the usa now. yes. but i hope it will disturbance bo -- both teams will have a good game. >> now we go to the latest in business news. >> thank you. let's look at the united states. in testimony before u.s. congress on wednesday the federal reserve chairman said the central bank would be open to new economic stimulus measures if necessary. the u.s. meeting on the economy is held twice a year. ben bernanke said the weaker performance than expected continues in the u.s. they include an expected recove

you may recall the united states and other u.n. related countries went to see that the children could get the food that was being sent to somalia, but the distribution was being prevented by the warlords. and there was food there, but children were dying because the warlords would not allow the food to be distributed. and so my first trip was then, and i returned back again in late 93, because i, from the state of new jersey, we have a large number of pharmaceutical corporations, and i asked them if they would participate in a pharmaceutical drive that unicef cosponsored with me to provide medications for children to help in this situation since the children were suffering so much. and we had 100% cooperation from the new jersey pharmaceuticals to provide the medications that we needed. as a matter of fact, my recent trip to years ago, it was noted by some of the participants that remembered the pharmaceutical drive that brought millions of dollars of donated products to the children of somalia. after leaving mogadishu on my first t

there are challenges facing the united states of america. council on foreign relations. he advanced the cause. i want to speak about a number of opportunities and dangers we face in the middle east. we have a situation where the revolution is often the process of a more democratic and open and prosperous arab world. fix caper in the hands of oppression is a real possibility. at the same time, we understood these resolutions but the hour. just as the people and syria elsewhere see a chance for a better life a genuine free them, the leader of a radical islam see the chance to replica turmoil. we were presented as a challenge us in that case. are we up to the challenge? my answer is, of course we are. if we're clear about our interests and guided by our principles, we can help steer events in the right direction. our nation has done this in the past. at the end of world war ii, in the last decade of the cold war, in the most recent war on terror and we can do it again. but president obama has failed to formulate and carry out an effective and co

that's part of the problem in the relationship with the united states. now we have got the drug war, which the united states is helping but not enough. >> you described those as on winnable. >> absolutely. it's the ridiculous war. we should not have started it. we will never be able to win. it has now cost us more than 40,000 lives, more than $50 billion. widespread human rights abuses, and a tremendous damage to mexico's image abroad with no results to show an exchange. there is nothing that can be done with drugs in mexico as long as the united states keeps consuming what it consumes and it hasn't changed its consumption patterns. probably there is no reason it shouldn't. i was a strong proponent of the proposition 19 in california last november. i had hoped it would pass, legalizing marijuana in the state of california. it didn't pass. it lost by three points. i'm hopeful that in 2012, it will pass and then we in mexico can also begin a process of legalization of drugs starting with marijuana. >> president calderon is conducting this war in mexico. is

the united states is the largest. each of our country's are taking countries areoun taking positive steps. we are recommending comprehensive energy reform to replace excessive dependence on fossil fuels. we want to replace oil with cleaner, cheaper, and safer alternatives including natural- gas and wind energy. the need for alternative energy is acute, especially for hawaii and the u.s. territories. in puerto rico, we realize 69% on foreign oil. a why and the -- hawaii and the u.s. territories are not connected to the u.s. power grid. it debilitates our respective economies and a facts consumers and businesses alike. -- and effects consumers and businesses alike. in the case of puerto rico, we have energy policies that focus on renewable energy generation and natural gas. in 2010, we passed legislation setting up renewable standards . it requires that 15% of our energy be produced by renewables forces by 2020. we also created a green in a refund -- a green energy fund to jump-start these markets and create jobs. we ar

through a special filter authorized by it is authorized by the united states government and that the adoptive parents provide access of russian diplomats to the children living in the united states these are the most most important components of this issue and it's going to. be in force very soon it is not going to be ratified in the us but we will be ratifying it so we discuss some technical details that will allow us to speed this process up. and there are those but. the part of the new. order fares in the other russian government agencies that have worked on the part of the states and looking for evidence from the organ of the process to share. buttons in these problems both want the same we want all children whether they be russian children or american children to be able to have loving homes with families that will take good care of them and of course the united states wants to be sure that we meet all of the concerns that the russian side raised and we believe we have. from reuters. yesterday at the russian embassy you described an approach toward iran on the nuclear issue one

what they can become with markets united again the citizens united and sensual but now i'm getting back as issue that before. now i have what. song integration we're going to continue with my life. but as the finished my did you study it for another year then maybe i can get a job and maybe i can get working visas and then me being the next ten years i will be able to see you know one of the the things that is kind of the the promise of this that people apply for this lottery is that there is opportunity for them in the united states and you just mentioned you thought you would have these opportunities to start is missed if you came here but unemployment in the u.s. has been more than nine percent for a while now and it's been on the up and up and a lot of them a lot of people that is affected are recent college graduates and younger adults so my question is why do you see the united states as still being a land of opportunity for me as a computer scientist. and that is a is the land of opportunity because it is the first country will always great opportunities for researchers to develo

competition and flashing knives are between the various media enterprises in britain or here in the united states for that matter but you know there has been a tremendous tendency towards concentration of all of the media and there are fewer and fewer hands and unit to look at the united states with the federal communications commission has been giving a.t.t. and their eyes and you know tremendous powers to combine with the some of the smaller carriers the same thing for the television broadcast murdoch was very influential in the united states in having the federal communications commission put aside roe ules and regulations that who granted that kind of media consolidation where one in or primes can own the newspapers and the television stations in one city but i think the deeper question here is not just about the silliness of the british media which is the well known for many many years i think you just said good thirty years you know people have looked at the this secretary there i'd choose the british tabloids but i would make an analogy that goes much deeper than than just the compe

if the full faith and credit of the united states is to be protected. now this republican manufactured crisis could be solved in five minutes. if we simply pass a clean debt ceiling increase, like we did eight times during the bush administration, 18 times under ronald reagan, and then turned our attention immediately to ways to put our fiscal house in order. focusing on the real crisis which is the jobs crisis. instead republicans are choosing to hold our nation's financial standing hostage with potentially devastating consequences. allowing a default on the debt would essentially be a tax on every american family. interest rates on everything from mortgages and auto loans to credit cards and small business loans would immediately sore -- soar. a conservative estimate suggests the effect of an increase in interest rates could cost a homeowner with a 30-year mortgage of $1 2,000 an additional $19,100 more over the life of the loan. a drop in the stock market would hit the savings and retirement accounts of middle class americans. less available credit fo
