iran right to enrich uranium under international safeguards what the but but that would mean the united states was accepting the islamic republic as a legitimate political entity with legitimate national interests and the united states isn't prepared to do that instead it keeps insisting that iran has to surrender that right for diplomatic progress to be possible if you look at the position on syria you know there's been the meeting between secretary kerry and foreign minister lavrov in moscow and people are looking toward the possibility of a conference but you know already the planning for this is getting balled up because the russians quite reasonably think if you're going to have a conference on iran you need all of the relevant and important players there which means you need iran there and the united states is already ball king at having iran take part in a conference on syria that is just not diplomatically serious it's privileging this ambition to have gemini in the middle east over really serious diplomacy judith would you like to reply to that. well i think that a good part of that i

is going to go to war with the country in the united states or that the united states will be victim of an attack coming from some from the from sed state actor i just don't i can't imagine that happening ok george i find the definition so vague that it's very helpful to the pentagon and people that like to go to war for a lot of different reasons george yeah absolutely the enemy changes you know every few years and then that enemy changes back again so so we had a some point that saddam hussein was a friend then he became an enemy. and then we kind of forgot about him then became enemy number one again and then back in the ninety's the enemy was suddenly you know you couldn't pick up a newspaper without vehement denunciations of the serbian government and how america has the bomb. there anybody with any was iraq again then afghanistan at various times you know others of their heads you know. ran there that was also rans i always like your little ranzo you know exactly exactly iran is a pig of a permanent you know sometimes it disappears and then reappears again so there's alw

i know with the $6 billion, we united top pair in the ne states. we do have a low tax rate outside the united states. but this tax rate is for products that we sell outside the united states, not within. the way i look at this, there is no shifting going on. in addition, if you look at apple versus other companies that do not sell in the u.s., i would say the applicable comparison would be the 30.5% effective rate. not our foreign tax rate. >> a little simpler. why does aoi exist echople? why was aoi incorporated in ireland? 4000 employees is impressive, but not when you look at your overall workforce. maybe you can clear that up. >> thank you very much for question. aoi was created in 1980. in this time, apple was -- before the days of the iphone and ipad an ipod and things were even invented. the mac did not matter until 1984. apple was looking for a place to distribute its products in europe. >> i understand that. is that still operative today? >> the relationship between apple and the irish government is still there. we built up a sizable popula

those being commissioned in the united states navy. i present 764 midshipmen to the commission into our united states navy. >> thank you very much. >> thank you, captain clark. you're flying now. that is not in osprey. thank you for being here. mr. president, admiral miller, dean phillips. it is an honor for me to be bringing in the future here today. i would like to congratulate the new second lieutenants. for those about to become ensigns, i want to ask you to remember what we talked about a few weeks ago. look, i like odd-numbered classes. i want to give you an executive summary of a few things. as the president mentioned to you earlier, i want you to guard your integrity. no one can take your integrity away from you. it is uniquely yours. do not lose it. your allegiance is to the institution, to the country, to the constitution. not your buddies. it is in your oath today. think about it when you take your oath. be kind to everybody. treat everyone with unity and with respect. and trust your shipmates, because your life is going depe

maybe you're right and you know with oil and stuff like that i can understand a bit mean should the united states and nato be in the business of regime change well just to be fair the united states and nato did not begin the rebellion in libya the libya really being a rebellion was had been underway for months before we intervened and when the bombing campaign started working when the bombing campaign started that's when the death toll really started to escalate. if i mean if i can go to you would you like to react to what ray mcgovern said. yes on march eighteenth. as i've written in my book arab rebels and iranian dissidents president obama gave the order to commit u.s. air. support to the to the libyan civilians and that was a turning point in the broad sarkozy and cameron along with him in order to complete the triad. of actors some western actors nato actors to help on sea colonel qadhafi now with respect to the issue of regime change it's different strokes for different folks in regime change i think can work in a place like iran now from within because there's an iranian opposition but the

is fueled by a common ideology -- a belief by some extremists that islam is in conflict with the united states and the west, and that violence against western targets, including civilians, is justified in pursuit of a larger cause. of course, this ideology is based on a lie, for the united states is not at war with islam, and this ideology is rejected by the vast majority of muslims, who are the most frequent victims of terrorist acts. nevertheless, this ideology persists, and in an age in which ideas and images can travel the globe in an instant, our response to terrorism cannot depend on military or law enforcement alone. we need all elements of national power to win a battle of wills and ideas. so let me discuss the components of such a comprehensive counter- terrorism strategy. first, we must finish the work of defeating al qaeda and its associated forces. in afghanistan, we will complete our transition to afghan responsibility for security. our troops will come home. our combat mission will come to an end. and we will work with the afghan government to train security forces, and sustain a

this is about making sure that the debt of the united states, that the united states has incurred -- not the ongoing payments but the debt of the united states -- is paid. that takes default off the table. that allows us then to move forward to get the larger bipartisan solutions on this growing and difficult problem with our debt that we need to address. the amendment makes it clear that members of congress' salaries won't be paid, that any debt issued will not pay that. it also makes clear that the secretary of the treasury must report weekly on the amount of debt. we need transparency. we often don't get the latest information. we need that, both house and senate, so these are actually -- this is a straightforward amendment. it's clarifying. i urge support of the amendment. i urge support of the underlying bill and i yield back the balance of my time. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from michigan yields back. pursuant to the rule, the previous question is ordered on the bill, as amended. and on the amendment offered by the gentleman from michigan, mr. camp. the question is o

the united states has to base a thorough good analysis where the world stands in vis-a-vis the united states, on relationships more difficult relationships, but, ultimately, much more productive relationships with the world's coming powers, and, obviously, china is absolutely prime among them. that doesn't mean that you completely dismiss us or that on occasions we don't do useful business together, that doesn't mean on occasions it's useful, stim, for an american president to come to london and see the queen and beam the pictures across the united states, but, actually, when you think about who americans are in future generations, where they come from, what they believe in, the idea that they have the same since of britain and britain people being part of them is mad. that just isn't going to be the future america, and that classic example of that, i went to see a very senior person in the obama white house to say good-bye when i was leaving in 2009, and we had a little discussion, and i said to this person, why was it that one of the first things the obama white house did that cause

is that the popularity of united states is this rock bottom in the party sort. of pugh's research pool to keep only for the let's say and let one person obviously jordan it bug you start at the very bottom so that we have the kind of do some policy analysis the assessment is drone a good policy to fight terrorism especially when obama says he's not going to be big on carter charism or he's going to have a light. colored person type of a fifth of the policy well armed services he's seeing that but in the other d. he's defeating the purpose of the very very very very basic interest of the united states government that is getting some sort of the leverage with the parties on the government especially to especially you know the years that he has the he's not done that in the past and the time for him is is this. to have serious dialogue. here folks we're getting anywhere short break and after that short break we'll continue our discussion on pakistan stay with r.t. . please. dangerous experiments on prisoners they want to make money and they have to use healthy guin

for the united states is not at war with islam. and this ideology is rejected by the vast majority of muslims who are the most frequent victims of terrorist attacks. nevertheless this ideology persists. in an age when ideas can travel the globe in an instant, our response to terrorism can't depend on military or law enforcement alone. we need all elements of national power to win a battle of wills. the battle of ideas. so what i want to discuss here today is the components of such a comprehensive counter terrorism strategy. first, we must finish the work of defeating al qaeda and its associated forces. in afghanistan, we will complete our transition to afghan responsibility for that country's security. our troops will come home. our combat mission will come to an end. and we will work with the afghan government to train security forces and sustain a counter terrorism force which ensures that al qaeda can never again establish a safe haven to launch attacks against us or our allies. beyond afghanistan, we must define our effort not a

is going to go to war with a country in the united states or that the united states will be victim of an attack coming from some from the from sed state actor i just don't i can't imagine that happening ok george i find the definition so vague that it's very helpful to the pentagon and people don't like to go to war for a lot of different reasons george there is absolutely the enemy changes you know every few years and then that enemy changes back again so so we have a some point that saddam hussein was a friend then he became an enemy. and then we kind of forgot about him then became enemy number one again then back in the ninety's the enemy was suddenly you know you couldn't pick up a newspaper without vehement denunciations of the serbian government and how america has the bomb. there anybody with any was iraq again then afghanistan at various times you know others of their heads you know. rand paul here that was also rans i always like your little ranzo you know exactly exactly iran is a pig of a permanent you know sometimes it disappears and then you reappears again so there's

faced is fueled by a common ideology a belief by some extremists that islam is in conflict with the united states and the west and that violence against western targets including civilians is justified in pursuit of a larger cause of course this ideology is based on a lie for the united states is not at war with islam and this ideology is rejected by the vast majority of muslims who are the most frequent victims of terrorist attacks nevertheless this ideology persists and in an age when ideas and images can travel the globe in an instant our response to terrorism can't. depend on military or law enforcement alone we need all elements of national power to win a battle of wills the battle of ideas so what i want to discuss here today is the components of such a comprehensive counterterrorism strategy first we must finish the work of defeating al qaeda and its associated forces in afghanistan we will complete our transition to afghan responsibility for that country's security our troops will come home our combat mission will come to an end and we will work with the afghan government to train securit

extended but again that is up to other countries as well as to the united nations to have a final say on the matter both russia and the united states for a lot. of the russian officials will work with the syrian government as the united states takes it takes upon themselves to work with the syrian opposition leader to bring both sides to the table close to the talks about be. willing you know bringing to be. recently voted to leave all parties involved. but. i think. overall of course. the united states i believe to the syrian people to decide on the interim government to sit down at the table and stop the bloodshed that has been going. zero four zero zero. zero for more on these latest about it when our joined live by paul nurture independent research and writer thanks for being with us here today how will the upcoming peace conference in geneva play out now do you think and in light of the decision. and i think they've been completely undermined but i think that the united states is well aware of what the e.u. is doing all these agitations against assad started in two thousand and three at least what's known to us openly and that

well there's a bit of both incompetence and a real scandal that said the united states is not responsible for the terror attacks in benghazi in september eleventh two thousand and eleven the united states is responsible for its own actions but else. the militant terrorist group is responsible for the what happened to the embassador stevens and his colleagues at the diplomatic post in benghazi i was fortunate enough to serve president reagan and i had libby as part of my portfolio and i always worried about the tribes in benghazi but that was forty years ago and everyone on the team kept saying to me don't worry about the tribes and guys they will hold on to been ghazi and he will always be subservient to tripoli but it didn't happen that way ok bill graham and what do you think how do you feel about obama's response to all of this i mean initially there is a coverup. i don't believe there's a cover up i believe that that's where the incompetence comes out comes in you don't get a. if you don't get ahead of the story by releasing all the information early like all the e-mails should have b

they're getting you're not going to have anything done and it's happened in every movement in the united states history where there have been injustices then you first of all have to acknowledge the injustice you then have to start developing a dialogue of the people of the united states who then demand political action be taken to correct those injustices and then i think that's what's going to happen here but you but first of all you have to. you have to show what what we have done was wrong as far as renditions a number of countries like canada apologized offered compensations to form a detainee face lawsuits had to settle for millions of dollars for their secret service involvement in the renditions of those detainees thing. k. is an example why wouldn't the u.s. do that it is i understand it we suspended some of the international treaties that president reagan had actually proposed twenty five years ago the un convention against torture. inhumane treatment degrading treatment etc. and in those particular legal documents you do have means of redressing the wrongs that were made if we restor

the united states stands with you as you defend your nation against terrorism. to thank you for the cooperation you've provided us in threats against the united states. and i want to take this opportunity to commend you and the turkish people for your courage in seeking an historic and peaceful resolution of the pkk violence that has plagued turkey for so long. and just as the united states has stood with you in your long search for security, we will support efforts in turkey to uphold the rule of law and good governance and human rights for all. finally we spend a great deal of time on an issue that has racked the region, the issue of circumstancia under the prime minister's loip. the turkish people have shown extraordinary generosity to the syrians that have found refuge in turkey. and i know this is a heavy burden. i've made it clear that the united states is going to keep on helping countries in the region, including turkey shoulder this burden, doing our part as a major donor of humanitarian aid to the syrian people, including those refugees in turkey. we'll

charter is quite clear the united states like all other member nations of the united nations can only go to war as an act of imminent self-defense but in fact the united states by arrogating to itself the right to war anywhere against anyone all the time is clearly in violation of international law but president obama. says the administration does not violate anybody's sovereignty because it operates in consultation with the governments concerned the whole population of pakistan their parliament unanimously remotely oppose drone strikes and yet they continue so maybe the administration is in consultation with the government there but certainly not the people i'm going to check on me today was brian becker with the answer coalition from our studio in washington thanks for watching. or two of breaking news developments on our top story now here in r.t. this hour the british foreign minister has revealed the e.u. is ready to lift an arms embargo on syria william hague said there were no immediate plans to send arms to the country sent a strong message that assad regime when e.u. members

for exclusive military rights the united states get the citizens the right to live and work in the united states for an unlimited amount of time and without need for a visa. have theseuntries privileges. there are only about 200 citizens and, and today about 50,000 of them live in the united states. the largest populations live in guam to hawaii. congress approved the agreement in 1986, the legislation stated in the" approving the compact, it is not the intent of congress to cause any adverse consequences for the united states territory and commonwealth or the state of hawaii." nevertheless, hawaii state government incurred significant costs to provide education, health care and other services to migrants. in 2011 alone hawaii's cost for migrants totaled approximately $115 million. that is a lot of money for a small state like hawaii. the bottom line is migrants are present in the united states because the federal national security policy. it is only fair the federal government's share part of the cost for providing services to them. all ye spends 30 million-40 million per year to provide

in both mexico and the united states. expect to report even more progress to this subcommittee in the months ahead. thank you, mr. chairman. i look forward to your questions. >> thank you. >> thank you very much. members of the committee, i hope i do not look to for osha's this morning. i also thank you for the opportunity to testify, along with my colleagues, on the u.s.- mexico security relationship. it has been my privilege to search at -- to serve at our embassy. first, in the days and months after 9/11, when we were forced to examine how neighbors must confront the harbors of terrorism in democratic societies. and most recently as i welcome some of you for mexico from 2009 2 2012, when our mexican partners and we truly transformed our security and commercial relationships in service of the american people. i must thank as well the u.s. support ofr strong the relationship in general and the initiative in particular. it is a success story. this committees commitment -- this committee's commitment to the cooperation has

that's making it very difficult for the united states and its allies to try to resolve this situation politically and diplomatically. it's one of the key issues that arab countries want from the united states, more political leadership in narrowing the international gap. >> thank you so much, ayman mohyeldin and thank you, richard engel on the border with syria. could the israeli air strikes in syria be a prelude to more u.s. involvement in the conflict? joining me now is former u.s. ambassador to israel, martin indic. martin, i know you not only were ambassador to israel, but had lots of connections during the periods of dialogue with syria. what should the united states be doing now? is it time for to us get involved militarily? >> i think first of all, picking up on ayman's reporting. john kerry's visit to moscow this week and his meeting with vladimir putin, is the first and i think most important part of what the united states needs to be doing. which is to try to find a way to move putin. and it is putin, not his advisers, to the point where he understands that it is in the comm

this that would be another huge damage for the united states. ave to find some way to intervene without it becoming a full-fledged military engagement. >> if we did intervene and took over the country temporarily we'd have to secure the chemical weapons. >> yes, one way or another that's something very dangerous. >> very dangerous. >> the president is going to take the egg on his face rather than being pushed into a bad correspond. so he is going to be deliberate about this. in the countries over there, the notion that the u.s. is owed chemical weapons, then we go plunging in, it's not obama's credit. it's u.s. credibility but they have singled out a syrian general. davidic nay shoes -- davidic nay shoes -- david ignaseous has written about him. but if you want to do a no-fly zone, which they can do, we need russia to stand down. u.n. authorization or no go. >> susan, 20 seconds. >> humanitarian reasons, stabilizing the middle east by getting rid of this guy and making sure chemical weapons don't proliferate there. >> do you favor involvement? >>

remain you think no i don't i don't know i don't think it's going to change i don't believe that the united states is going to give up on the policy on the other hand i believe that we're going to see our our discussions with the new government to find everybody in a fairly comfortable place ok it's an assignment what do you think about that in washington do you think anything is going to change here with this new government. well i think the obama administration is watching carefully and there and there are with rapt attention marvin is right i think it will be it will be decided he will be talking to your norah sharif who will be having acquired dialogue with the military or mil to mil kind of contacts but i don't sing as margaret said i don't think it's going to change fortunately they don't like and i'm really surprised you guys are saying this because it's in terribly on popular in pakistan what are elections for judy go ahead jump in. i also don't think the american government will change its behavior without a really strong. force and i think the problem i think actually had a better chance

and the industry in the united states was the only distribute united states had the only -- the united states had the only major undestroyed industry in the world. our dollar became the method of currency for the globe, american industry penetrated into every corner of the globe and american no-how and ingenuity was established across this planet. that -- know how and ingenuity was established across this planet. that's because of the pillars of american exceptionalism that i talked about and the spirit of ingenuity. a spirit of ingenuity which is the beneficiary of those willing legal immigrants that came here because they realized that they could achieve their dreams better here than anywhere else. and so the magnet of the american dream has attracted the best and most vigorous people on the plan tote come here. that's the america -- planet to come here. that's the american that i was born into. that's the america that those of us who were born here inherited. many immigrants have come since that period of time to contribute to this american dream, to help redefine this american drea

united states and mexico. the initiative allows united states and mexico to maximize our respective resources by coming together with a common goal to fight transborder crime, organized crime, and corruption. open the capacity for rule of law and providing assistance and law enforcement training are important access -- aspects of this agreement. i was pleased to see the agreement grow into a larger regional strategy. u.s.-mexico relations do not exist in a vacuum. it is vital that this agreement continues to complement a broader u.s. regional engagement. addressing the security concerns of mexico does not stop at a simple bilateral relationship. the united states must address the region as a whole, the , the central american regional security initiative, and the colombian strategic development initiative, along with the merida initiative could altogether -- initiative. they altogether create an approach that addresses complex cross-border threats throughout the hemisphere. i look forward to hearing particularly fr

in the united states. apple's tax director acknowledged to the subcommittee staff that it was his opinion that aoi is functionally managed and controlled in the united states. the circumstances with asi and aoi appeared to be similar. our legal system has a preference to respect the corporate forum. the facts here presents this issue and these offshore corporations are so totally controllecontrolled by apple, inc. that their identity is separate companies is a sham and mere instrumentality of apparent and if so whether apples claims aoi nasi owes no taxes as a sham as well. aoi sits at the apex of the tax avoidance strategy. apple's claim that aoi and its other subsidiaries are not tax resident in any nation is the key element in his strategy to avoid taxes on its offshore income. how did that income end up offshore to begin with? that brings us to a second more common arrangement shifting income away from the united states to a low tax jurisdiction for what is called transfer pricing. many u.s. companies i

these are no good options today in syria and because ball is getting into the fray so the united states is trying to give it a shot it is not a ploy to derail the process unfortunately i want our viewers to understand the united states is not calling the shots on this there are other players as russia there's iran there. are a lot of people cars so yes. this is not something like president obama just pushing the button and everything falls into into its place this is a mess and it's a bloody mess and i hope and i pray for the sake of people in syria that a good solution will be found i'm pissed at mystic as usual peter you know me but it's a mentally ill what do you think about ariel's analysis there are you just as pessimistic . no the opposite i'm very optimistic and i think if washington and moscow are serious about peace in syria they will have the primacy will play a prominent role bigger than any other nation i think my point of the park chart is the crisis and in october november one thousand nine hundred fifty six egypt nationalized the su is can l. the british and the french as

is the kind of slippery language and behavior you would expect not of an attorney general of the united statesof some lawyer who really is well down the line in terms of ethics or -- this is the attorney general of the united states. the one thing the administration and the pes. the one thing that can keep him out of trouble other than incompetence, which is going to be placed upon them, is if they simply tell the honest truth to the american people. mr. holder does not look like he's attempt toing to do that. >> there is either one or two lies here and let me explain it and get your reaction. either he lied to congress or misled congress which is a violation of the law or he misled the judge to get the approval of the sweeping search using the espionage act. >> that's the one i think is more likely than lying to congress. >> why? >> because i think it's a a typical prosecutorial active to accuse the wife to get the husband. you do crazy things. they aren't really trying to put the wife in jail, they are trying to get her to turn. so they went after james rose tone get the records. >> you thin

all the decisions that come to not the desk of the president of the united states. early every big problem does come to the desk of the president of the united states. >> leading on the issues. what is the take away? >> this is a national archives site map, all of the documents from the bush presidency. this is just a chance for you to see different documents. some are just speeches. others are bills he signed with the pen he used to sign them. scholars and researchers will be able to come here. there is a beautiful reading room, and part of the national archives space, where people can call up different documents or papers from years that george was president, to do the research that people will do. >> in the lobby, as people depart or arrive, a rotation of displays. >> this was our architect's idea, to build these big vitrines on the walls as you walk in, so that if you have to stand in line to get your ticket, you can start to look at things already. those cases are filled with gifts from foreign heads of state. they all have to be things that cannot be damaged wi

all the decisions that come to the desk of the president of the united states. , nearly every big problem does come to the desk of the president of the united states. >> leading on the issues. >> this is a national archives site map, all of the documents from the bush presidency. this is just a chance for you to see different documents. some are just speeches. others are bills he signed with the pen he used to sign them. scholars and researchers will be able to come here. there is a beautiful reading room, and part of the national archives space, where people can call up different documents or papers from years that george was president, to do the research that people will do. >> in the lobby, as people depart or arrive, a rotation of displays. >> this was our architect's they are filled with gifts. they all have to be things that can't be damaged with light because the hall has a lot of windows. they are things like the diamond and sapphire necklace that king abdullah from saudi arabia gave me. >> as you know, your husband had a lot of critics. will this change

he's defeating the purpose of the very very very very basic interest of the united states government that is getting some sort of the leverage with the parties on the government especially you especially you know now he has the use of his he has not done that in the past not time for him is is this. this you have serious dialogue. here folks we're getting into a short break and after that short break we'll continue our discussion on pakistan stay started. me thinking. dangerous experiments on prisoners they want to make money and they have to use healthy guinea pigs in the regular society they're not able to use prisoners i mean more they wish they could. drug tests on human guinea pigs. paid to pop deadly pills he didn't pass away he was killed. he didn't pass away they let him die. is pharmacy really about helping people. is he to you if. you feed. welcome back to crossfire all things are considered i'm peter lavelle to remind you we're discussing pakistan and drones. ok marvin in washington is the drone policy working with dividends or is it producing. because of the art obama is i

american civilians got in the way, that was their problem. >> he said that in his mind, the united statesformer soviet union. >> and eventually, the united states if it was subjected to enough violent pressure would pull out of the middle east and basically he would get his wish. >> what are your future plans? impact of the interview at the time was, i would say, pretty muted. it didn't get a lot of play because at the time, of course, he hadn't really done anything. imagine if in 1937 the japanese army had gone on nbc or rko to say hey, we are planning to attack the united states, pearl harbor might have turned out differently. these guys repeatedly said publicly we are planning to attack the united states and no one paid any attention. >> there is no doubt in that office in that moment that this is what we were waiting for. this is it. those are the words that went through everybody's mind. this is it. this is bin laden. >>> they're planning something, but where, when, what. is it going to be an armed assault? is it going to be a hijacking? is it going to be an assassination, a bomb, yo

what truck do you not want the united states? nese. >> do you think president obama believes that there are mexico?coming over the border i don't know. i'm not certain how much we have to fear chinese coming across the border. >> in this part of the world we don't have a lot of tourist attractions. but this is one of them. emergency distress beacon. and most people find it curious that it's in three languages. english, spanish and chinese. and since the last time we were out here, they have even been so nice to add five gallon puckett of water. courtesy of the united states government. >> president obama doesn't seem to be taking the border situation seriously. >> the shared border is more secure than it has been in years. illegal immigration attempts in the united states to the lowest level in decades. >> laura: how can we come one a plan to fix the immigration system if we don't know who is crossing the border? joining us now from new york is dennis michael lunch who made the film "they came to america, too: the cost of amnesty.

it's the whole world if it relies on the united states as the market for their goods. germany couldn't last if they couldn't export all over europe and to the united states today i regard free trade is the worst enemy the united states and the american people have ever faced. there is a small sliver of american society mostly corporate managers and shareholders that are making a killing by using cheap labor in the third world, in bangladesh everywhere and they are able to sell the products at first world prices making that third world prices. and if we don't stop this coming you can kiss this country get by. there's 25 million americans are unemployed. it is not just about this sliver of high-tech jobs building iphone. it's about the people that are required to produce all the products to the american public's. >> host: in "the new york times" today the story about the bangladesh factory. there's a ten year old boy that has had to provide some blood samples to help identify the remains of his father who worked in that factory.
