and we realize, the united states might say, that the relationship between the united states and latin america has had significant reasons for the people to question the united states's interest in latin america. was it simply for their own gain? lots of americans have made the argument that our relationship with latin america has in several instances involved too to changet governments. i know, but stay with me. >> the record is also come invasion, coup d'État. >> but that is not true of the obama administration. at the same time, they might say to you, what are we to think because the people you are chavez, cuba,go are people who have made it part of their philosophy to consistently attack the united states. and in cases to deny the human rights of some of their own people. >> that is kind of a nine because -- not your question. this kind of situation, why? i expressed myself in the wrong way. i didn't want to say that. i meant the situation. because why? for instance, the double standard. the double standard of government and sometimes the politician in the state. for instance am a

preparede allies today to be led by the united states and to be supportive of the united states? >> i think so. >> you think? do you have any questions about whether you might be out the mystic -- too optimistic? >> we lead when we came into office. if you had said we were going to be able to put together a six or seven-year effort in afghanistan, people would have had doubts about that in 2009. we have been able to work with our allies on the libby operation. importantged in negotiations and trade. >> an interesting historical note, there are some people who his presentin, in thinking, is influenced by a couple of things. kosovo and he is very much opposed to that and yet he is doing the same thing with crimea. two, libya. somehow, he feels like the united states or the security council, that they pulled one over on him and that those two things have influenced his own mind. >> i say couple of things about that. first of all, it is a bad analysis to think that this has to do with syria. i just think that's wrong. >> you mean he is too savvy to read that into it? >> this is more

this is a great market, so was nafta good for the united states? ou bet it was. >> when go into walmart, target, a similar store, much of what you shop from is made elsewhere on the planet, not in the united states. did nafta fulfill ross perot's threat of the giant sucking gland history teaches us when you take these skills away from people, you destroy those skills, but most importantly you destroy their self-respect, pride and dignity. >> ross perot was in error on the sucking sounds going south. what has taken effect is globalization. we're much more inter connected as a world. jobs are moving around as products are moving around. and you mentioned the shelves of walmart and others, but when i had my last year in office as u.s. trade representative i would go on the floor of a manufacturing facility, and it was teeming with people. people screwing in bolts here. you went on an auto manufacturing floor, and you stumbled over people. today you go on an auto factory floor, i don't care if it's in the united states, japan, or china, there is nobody

"untold history of the united states." it was cowritten by oliver stone and our guest peter kuznick as well the history professor at american university. just continue on this 1962 moment and how the nuclear war was averted. init was during this crisis october. eisenhower told kennedy through intermediary to go to bomb. we had no concept of what the russians -- there were 40,000 russian troops under the command of stalingrad during world war ii. they were a rough, tough unit. they had 100 battlefield nuclear weapons. 100. we did not know that. mcnamara admitted this later in his life. the cubans were armed, like 200,000 cubans, so we would have faced far more significant casualties going in there than we thought. it would have evolved into a real nuclear confrontation in the caribbean, and it probably would have spread, most likely spread quickly, because we had bombers armed to go over china and drop bombs on china from okinawa. blow off the to soviet union. that was eisenhower's plan. because what eisenhower did in his ei

why should people in the united states, the arrogance. so in some ways it actually helps to be objective. the difference and therefore helpful way, immersed in the country. so, yes. idc the united states as an empire. if it looks like them part of all walks like an empire, quacks like a vampire, it's an empire. and, you know, this was the country which was created in the 19th century by conquering land at other people's expense, namely for native american indians. canadians and then the mines. but it expanded, like every other conquest, by taking over other people's territory. you know, that was the way the united states continues to be shipped until 1917 which was the year in which the vast our seized territory was exhumed. there is this one history of imperial construction of a heart, the making of this country. and i don't think, you know, it detracts from arcing greatness. again, i think you can only -- really genuinely love someone. you can only genuinely loved if your knowledge the imperfections which are deeply etched in the parts o

but on the other hand, the united states cannot allow vietnamese or filipino nationalism to drag the nited states into a military conflict with china given how important the bilateral relationship is for china and the u.s. for the piece of the world in the 20th century. >> so for the united states and china and japan and all the asian countries in this caldron, as you describe it, will be the next big policy we face in foreign policy. thank you. >>> next up, if you are a woman, you might be an important part of the economic trend of the last 30 years. you will want to hear about it, in any event. >>> now for our what in the world segment. if you watch even just one episode of "mad men," it's clear that since the 1960s, women in the workplace have come a long way. >> men act like they want a secretary, but most of the time they're looking for something between a mother and a waitress. >> but new studies show they have a long way to go. women today make up about half the workforce, a big leap from the 1960s, the "mad men" era, when they constituted about a third. but, for example, only

. >> i believe this is the opportunity for the united states to gain economic benefits. but more important, it is a strategic initiative by the u.s., u.s. leadership in them need -- in them region, the most dynamic place in the world, putting together the rules of the road, putting together the rules for the the 21st century. the other is an investment treaty with europe if we can get both of them, that places the united states should chiefly in the middle of the two biggest negotiations in the world. if we don't do it, somebody else will do. >> with respect to japan, who side are we on? >> japan is our ally, number one. number two, the islands that are under dispute are subject to the treaty and alliance obligations that we have with japan. what the united states wants is to have reduced tensions between china and japan over these. the united states rejects intimidation and coercion. it rejects unilateral attempts to change the facts on the ground. and that is really the role that we play. we don't have a claim here. but we do have obligations to our allies, japan. >> wh

the united states? >> charlie: but if you look at the governments who have been more successful, they have had those values at the core -- the freedom of expression, the freedom of expression of the individuals, the freedom of expression of human rights -- or they've made a strong effort to go, and this president will be the first to tell you. and they also believe in free markets. we have friends who don't necessarily believe in free markets. you subsidize your free markets. >> charlie: yes, we do. but tell me how you believe about free markets? >> let me comment about something. everybody agrees with these kind of values. but remember, for instance, during french revolution, in the name of liberty, heads were cut. because everybody talks about free speech, free press, liberty, so we have different institutions according to different principles, different values. that doesn't mean that here in the united states you you are not respecting human rights or in our country we are not respecting human rights.

stay in the united states. is that not your memo. >> out of the 15 or 20 product managers they were proposing all of them be in the united states. that is the meaning of the word. >> but you say the concern was they move to the united states, not a concern of this memo. why did you word -- why did you use the words they instead of move? >> the existing location of them was the recommendation was to have them all in the united states. >> you were worried about move to the united states? >> move and staying in the united states no longer having anyone, no longer having those positions in switzerland. >> is that what you just testified? >> i said to you, >> the e-mail says the concern was a stay in the united states. >> just asking, that time already there are several important product managers in switzerland. in 2009 and the future. >> so the reorganization would have put and state everyone in the u.s. and concerned about every organization and its effect on the tax benefits. we needed to assist corporate tasks to

and there is a mirror on the israeli side. >> it also questioned the united states long-term status as broker between the two size. whether that was an effective relationship. what's the femaling in israel? is the united states an essential partner in these three-way negotiations? >> well, you know, i think there is no doubt that secretary kerry has invested a tremendous unprecedented amount of time and effort and energy in trying to bring the two parties to the table to talk and to reach a successful deal. on the other hand there is no doubt that at least from some a parts of the israeli governments that these efforts were red called. we know what the minister--the defense minister said, and others, so you know, i think that perhaps today from a very right wing government perhaps the relationship to the united states has taken a little bit for granted. i think that the--we have not seen the type of pressure that the united states can if it wishes wield in order to bring israel to the stable. and to make serious steps towards reaching an agreement. you know, i don't see anybody else wh

all of the profits reside in the united states then all of the profits should be obligated to the united states. nothing operationally changed represents a fatal implemntatio is flawed. in my written testimony, i set forth a much more expansive views of why that is so. let me conclude by saying the subcommittee is to be commended for taking the time to understand these international shifting processes. they should not end up in a jurisdiction without substance or in an entity that didn't con tribitute to their generation. >> welcome back, professor reuven avi-yonah. >> thank you very much for inviting tee to speak. i will try to make four points briefly. this is, as the subcommittee knows, part of a general phenomenon, there are $2 trillion more or less in profits, that are offshore and out of this a significant portion relates to activities that economically take place in the united states in the form of intangibles in this case developing networks. congress has been aware of this and tried several times to legislate in order to prevent the shifting of the profits overseas. in 1992, the

it's based in paris and counts 34 countries as members including the united states, mostly the world's most developed countries are members. it's mission is to improve the economic and social well-being of people around the world. a new report from the organization says the united states has the fourth highest level of income inequality of all members after turkey, chile and mexico. it says income inequality drew in the united states by 12 percent between the mid 1980s to 2010 while all ocd countries in the same period was just 10%. it's president joins us from washington, d.c. where's attending the imf and world bank spring meetings this week. mr. secretary general thank you for joining us. what is your sense of why the united states is doing worse than some countries given that it is the most prosperous nation in the world. it's a given that as you get more prosperous you should have less income inequality, not more. >> this problem did not start last year, this started a long time ago, and we already had a growing inequality before the crisis. but just to give you an idea of how the

states, stay in the united states. is that not your memo? >> the word says "stay". out of the -- >> yeah. >> out of the 15 or 20 product managers, they were proposing that all of them be in the united states. that means the word "stay." >> your concern was if they move to the united states. that's not what the concern was in this memo. >> we -- >> why did you use the word "stay" rather than "move"? >> we knew what the existing location of them was in the recommendation which was to have them all in the united states, so that's what we mean by "stay." >> you were worried about moves to the united states; is that right? >> moving and staying in the u.s., no longer having those positions in switzerland, staying in the u.s. instead. >> did you just say that the concern was that they would move in the united states, isn't that what you testified? >> i said to you "stay" -- i said to you "move" -- >> to the united states. >> yeah. >> it says stay. >> at that time, there were several important product managers in switzerland.

at least we have the support of the united states. ey will not leave us alone with the aggressor. >> the resolve of the ukraine and united states to resist russian involvement may be tested sooner rather than later. moscow says if it's interests are attacked in ukraine, it will respond. >> now, president obama is also keeping a close eye events in the middle east. a major development with fatah and hamas reunited. many consider hamas a terrorist organization. >> what does that mean? we have this report. >> hamas and fatta agree to form a group. the leaders believe the time is now to make a change. >> the fact of the matter that we both, if we are not moving quickly, then the israeli will weaken both of us, and there is no future palestine state. >> the groups have been at odds and at war with each other sips 2007. following hamas's win. since then, hamas has independently ruled the 40km-long gaza strip , home to nearly 2 million palestinians. palestine's president governed the west bank. previous reconciliation agreements failed in the

and the canadian ambassador to the united states. afta 20th anniversary. stay with us. >> welcome back to "inside story." i'm ray suarez. it's been 20 years since the enactment of nafta. it created a fast free trade zone between the united states, mexico and canada, and on this edition of our program we're marking it anniversary with a closer look at the impact to our neighbors to the north and south. did nafta become less important because something that we couldn't have really known about in 1990 when it was being negotiated, and that is the rise of china. did china end up being a player in a way that we couldn't have imagined. in 2001, mexico had 271% wage differential with china. today the less than 10%. in terms of opportunity costs we are very competitive. so we with are getting back many new investments that are now seeing north america, mexico, of course, but as i said, ins a shared production team. does that change the conversation with americans in because for a long dime, that ross per row talk, about the giant sucking soun

the united states of course, the united kingdom and the united arab emirates.question that more countries should follow our lead, otherwise international travelers, including americans who travel internationally, are at risk. according to interpol, in 2013 travelers bordered international flights more than a billion times without having to passport numbers checked against the database. tools are in place to determine if the passport has been reported missing, and we should use every avenue at our disposal to encourage countries to do the right thing, including offering technical assistance where appropriate. in addition to not consistently checking the lost or stolen passport database most countries are not consistently sharing lost and stolen passport information with the interpol database. the overwhelming majority of the 40 million records in the lost and stolen database comes from visa waiver program countries. in large part because it is condition for visa free travel to the united states. however those countries do not routinely check their flight manifes

states, stay in the united states. is that not your memo? >> the word says "stay". out of the -- >> yeah. >> out of the 15 or 20 product managers, they were proposing that all of them be in the united states. that means the word "stay." >> your concern was if they move to the united states. that's not what the concern was in this memo. >> we -- >> why did you use the word "stay" rather than "move"? >> we knew what the existing location of them was in the recommendation which was to have them all in the united states, so that's what we mean by "stay." >> you were worried about moves to the united states; is that right? >> moving and staying in the u.s., no longer having those positions in switzerland, staying in the u.s. instead. >> did you just say that the concern was that they would move in the united states, isn't that what you testified? >> i said to you "stay" -- i said to you "move" -- >> to the united states. >> yeah. >> it says stay. >> at that time, there were several important product managers in switzerland.

how is that illegal or immoral and how is it not damaging to the united states? >> first of all, either member the intelligence committee regarding the constitution. he thought it had violations. i think it is important to understand the process that he used. it is so often distorted and ms. described. edward snowden has not published a single document in the last nine months. >> but you have? >> i have. laura has. >> what is the difference? >> he did not think that he should be in the position to decide which documents ought to be published and which ones ought to be suppressed. he came to well-established, well regarded newspapers and asked the journalists to make those judgments about what is in the public interest to be published. specifically, a lot of what i am giving you is for background, context, per understanding but i don't think all of this should be published. if i wanted this publish, i wouldn't need you guys i would just uploaded it to the internet myself. there are stories about things like -- a story that is public that shouldn't be -- i think the

but on the other hand, the united states cannot allow vietnamese or filipino nationalism to drag the tates into a military conflict with china given how important the bilateral relationship is for china and the u.s. for the piece of the world in the 20th century. >> so for the united states and china and japan and all the asian countries in this caldron, as you describe it, will be the next big policy we face in international crisis. thank you. >>> next up, if you are a woman, you might be an important part of the last economeconomic tren last 35 years. you will want to hear about it, in any event. i'm tony siragusa and i'm training guys who leak a little, to guard their manhood with depend shields and guards. the discreet protection that's just for guys. now, it's your turn. get my training tips at guardyourmanhood.com drivers, tgo!our marks. it's chaos out there. but the m-class sees in your blind spot... pulls you back into your lane... even brakes all by itself. it's almost like it couldn't crash... even if it tried. the 2014 m-class. see your authorized dealer for exceptional off

barack obama will become the 44th president of the united states. the other put in power by an electorate of citizens in a gruelly nationwide election. all for the right to sit at the oval office at 1600 pennsylvania avenue. >> tonight is your answer. >> the pope and the president. for more than 200 years the politician behind the desk of the oval office and the bishop seated on the throne of peter have marked history together through war and peace. at times working hand in hand to rewrite their own story. >> you can imagine when the declaration of independence was signed, when america was founded, the papacy must have been very worried. >> he said i'm going to be president obama, i'm not going to be the catholic president of the united states. >> they were looking for any way back from the brink. >> those shared convictions that communism could be overturned. the time in the 1980s, that was a radical notion. >> because of the relative weight and power of these significant institutions, the vatican and the united states of america, they're going to w

the united states is what they know. the question is, are they going to be able to have the same opportunities and being treated equally? i see it in the same vein as the civil rights movement. >> give the bill now in congress that relates to that defense appropriation in terms of those who have been here through no fault of their own. would they be able to achieve some level of legal status, and that is being held up as well. immigration is a broad thing. that is the right way to talk about it. we are talking mutt to different different -- about two different types of immigration. the legal immigration system, which ever but he believes is broken. if you disagree with that let's talk about that. and illegal immigration. people who come here on their own. for whatever reason. is it all one umbrella to you? legal versus illegal? >> of course, there are distinctions. it does count whether someone followed the legal process are not. that is reflected in what is a punitive aspect to legislation that was passed by the senate a

so i do see the united states as an empire. if it looks like an empire, walks like an empire and quacks like an empire, it's an empire. this was the country which was created in the 19th century like conquering the land at other peoples expense. native americans and indians, on the margin canadians and, but it expanded like every other conquest, i taking over other people's territory. that was the way the united states continued to be shaped until 1917, which was the year in which the last overseas territory was absorbed to the country, the danish virgin isles, took over in 1917. so there is this long history of interior construction at the heart of making this country. i didn't think it detracts from american greatness. truth is, you can genuinely love someone. you can only genuinely love america if you -- [inaudible] put imperfections which are deeply etched in the past united states. you've got to love america inspite of that. you can't pretend it didn't happen. >> host: in chapter three, you describe the english and cultural

we partner with the best in the united states government to impart expert's. in the western hemisphere, the united states has established partnerships to con front shared threats and advanced common interests. the collection of the initiative with mexico, our long standing partnership with clomyarks the central america initiative and the security initiative constitute our strategic approach to enhance -- enforcement institutions and capacity so they can investigate and prosecute criminal offenders and remove them from their operations. while the state department has no direct role in interdiction efforts, the governments that we meantor and train in this the western hemisphere do. enhanced government capacity to interdibt drugs, investigate crimes, prosecute and incarcerate criminals. in the bahamas, jamaica, panama, rica, patrol the waters, seize their products. in the hemisphere where capacity is less developed, they are working in coordination with our programs to develop basic policing skills and they are also working with our u.s. law enforcement and milit

within the i.m.f., some people, but not the united states. >> no, the united states keeps its veto rights, is my main shareholder, and conditions to have big fraction in the institution. we still based in washington d.c. after all, because the largest shareholder is the united states of america. >> and it moves money from one budget kind to another, making it secure. it's not as if it was sunk in an empty bucket. it generates interest, is the property of the membership, but is made available for pack igements that have to -- packages that have to be put in place. >> let's look at developing markets or markets all around. they are driving the bulk of world growth. china, for instance, slowing down, by virtue of doing things that the international monetary fund supports. how do you square that. >> emerging markets represent 50% of total g.d.p. they represent a large chunk of the growth that is generated. even today, when we say they are slowing down. the fact that a country as large as china, an economy as large as china is slowing down a lotle and moving from 9% to 7.5%, fr

even more troubling is the miniscule rate at which countries outside of europe, canada and the united states visa waiver countries our country bidding information to the database. madam chair, as you noted since 9/11, the united states government and the american people have addressed the security vulnerabilities exposed so tragically on that day. in the 12 years since any thoroughly bipartisan fashion in which this committee has play significant role, we have together constructed a multilayer, fully automated, in agency approach to homeland security. as additional vulnerabilities have been revealed, and are revealed, we examine and respond to them properly in concert with the concert. -- congress. eveas we do so to in the contexf lost and stolen passports. when an individual seeking admission to the united states presents a foreign passport, whether he or she seeks admission by land, by commercial air or by sea, that passport to screen against the sltd database prior to admission. in fact, many cases on multiple occasions. doubt as mr. wagner will explain we screen outbound passports in a w

how do we take the ape capability that we have in the united states and narrow the income wealth gap. >> the program for international student attempt, the united states comes out, comes out in the average whereas the united states spends two to three times more than the average. therefore in terms of bang for your buck you're not getting what you need to get. arnie duncan said that this was a massive wake-up call. he said that he was quoting the president of the united states saying this is a spud nick moment that we need to realize that what is at stake is our future competitiveness and productivity, and future market shares, and therefore the future well-being of the people in the united states. so the implications are high. >> secretary general we appreciate that the ocd has always been sounding this warning bell for some time. it must be interesting and it's fashionable to talk about income inequality. >> it's not the flavor of the day. a long time ago we started mentioning this, and it's good that so many people are coming on board led by the president of the united states. this

japan is a much more important ahigh school of the united states. the--japan is a much more important ally of the united states. okay, we're going to look at what is happening in ukraine. this is valuable information, and then taking account of a host of other factors. a lot of them domestic. just like with the u.s. ukraine, china's decision vis-a-vis, japan is domestic affairs. there is a lot of grassroots hatred towards the japanese. >> we're going to take a short break and then a look at the ledger, the various places in the world that the obama administration might be happy to brag about or bring up at dinner. this is "inside story." >> results of analyses were skewed in favor of the prosecution >> the fbi can't force the states to look at those cases >> the truth will set you free yeah...don't kid yourself >> the system has failed me only on al jazeera america >> welcome back to inside story. on this edition of the program we're talking about obama's foreign policy, now i wanting to the list of hot spots the president is dealing with. when we lo

the key is between the united states and japan. >> you believe this will govern global trade in the 21st century. >> i believe this-- i believe this is the opportunity for united states to obviously get economic benefits from it-- which i think arguments are compelling-- but more importantly is a strategic initiative. it's the u.s. leadership in the region, most economically dynamic place in the world, putting together the rules of the road. putting together the rules going forward in the 21st century for almost half of world gdp. now, if you combine that with the work we're doing with europe on negotiating a free trade and investment treat weeurope, and if we can get both those done, the picture there, charlie, is the united states strategically in the middle of the two biggest trade negotiations in the world, setting the stage, setting the rules for the economy in the 21st century, and if we don't do it somebody else will. >> rose: with respect to japan and the islands and the conflict there. whose side are we on? >> japan is our a, number one. the islands the subject of the dispute ar

, and the canadian ambassador to the united states. nafta at 20 with today on inside story, stay with us. >> the death toll could be much higher than anyone known. >> posing as a buyer... >> ...people ready then... >> mr. president >> who should answer for those people >> i'm actually quite nervous... >> as u.s. forces prepare to leave afghanistan, fault lines brings you an eye opening look at what life is really like under the taliban. from girls attending school, to enforcing sharia law. >> they rely on the local population, and so they need to win the hearts and minds of locals to be able to fight. >> then immediately after, an american tonight special edition, >> explain how you were able to get access to the taliban. >> fault lines: this is taliban country then, an american tonight special edition only on al jazeera america so many money stories sound complicated. but don't worry. i'm here to take the fear out of finance. every night on my show i break down the confusing financial speak and make it real. >> it's been 20 years since

the united states. >> when and how often since 1999 has the internal revenue service cadetted caterpillar. >> we are under continual examination, the irs literally sits outside my office in that time frame we have closed '99, two 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, five -- >> what haven't you closed, what year? >> the 2007 and later years are still under exam. >> they're still under examination. >> uh-huh. >> you are under constant auditing from the irs. >> yes, we are. >> and they have not claimed you were in violation of irs regulations? >> each year's return provides substantial information, including transfer pricing information, related to international businesses. they propose node adjustments. >> you heard that the phipps panel of -- first panel of witnesses said the irs wasn't doing their job. would you agree with that? >> well, they asked extensive questions about our business. we provided a lot of information to them. answered a lot of questions, reviewed our transfer pricing processes with them. i think t

to being very had to man monic well i basically agree with steve which is that i think that the united states and the west more generally but especially the united states has found it almost impossible to put cold war thinking behind it. and as a result in the mid one nine hundred ninety s. the clinton administration began to push hard for nato expansion and there's no way you could explain nato expansion unless you make the argument that it's designed to contain some sort of future russian threat nobody put the argument for nato expansion in those terms at the time but in retrospect it's quite clear that that's what was going on so the deep cause of the present crisis i believe is nato expansion which is part and parcel of a strategy designed to contain russia and to strip ukraine away from russia's orbit and to grade it into the west the precipitating crisis would cause the. present crisis that's going on i should say the precipitating cause of the present crisis were the events of february of this year especially the february twenty two coup. in kiev. it's stephen it's interesting if we if

let me affirm that the united states is committed to maintaining strategic stability between the unitedtes and russia and to encouraging mutual steps to foster a more stable, resilient, predictable and transparent security relationship. that said, russia's illegal actions in ukraine have undermined trust. while diplomacy between the united states and russia continues, no one can ignore that russia's actions in ukraine have violated the very principles upon which cooperation is built. further, as we consider arms control priorities this year, or in any year, we will continue to consult closely with our allies and partners every step of the way. our security and defense, as well as that of our allies and partners, is nonnegotiable. we will only pursue arms control agreements that advance our national interest. during the cold war, washington and moscow found it in our mutual interest to work together to cap and then to begin reducing the number of nuclear weapons in service in reversing the nuclear arms race and improving mutual security and stability. we judged that the new start treaty

everything was shifted around except the united states. the united states is the imf biggest member, a founding member and one that has the biggest voice and has the veto right. and that's why it was stopping the reform that was decided unanimously in 2010 from happening. and i don't understand why that is, because the u.s. under the reform would keep its veto, would continue to be the leader in the organization. would shift money from one line to the other. would make the fund more secure, safer. endowed with deeper resources to, for instance, help out a country like ukraine, urgently and with significant resources. so i hope it happens soon. so that the fund can continue to represent properly the entire membership of the imf including the united states. >> secretary albright for purposes of this organization we'll make you the representative of the united states because you spent a little time in government. for people watching us around the world mostly they understand the nuance the fact that congress does what congress wants to do, the

what is the larger strategic interest for the united states? hone honestly, putin cares more about crimea and the ukraine does than the united states does in terms of managing the world. >> russia went in to a country and tried to redraw the map of the country by force. if we stand by and allow that to happen, that sets a terrible precedent. virtually everywhere else in the world, and we're hearing that in asia from some of our asian partners, even hearing it from the chinese. there's something else going on here, too. when the soviet union fell apart and a number of successor countries were left, including ukraine, many of them had thousands of nuclear weapons on their territory. one of the great achievements of the clinton administration was to get ukraine and other countries to give up their nuclear weapons. countries like russia, the united states, the uk would sign onto a compact guaranteeing their sovereignty and territorial integrity. russia signed that, it's grossly violated that. what message does that send to countries where we're tryi

the palestinian territories want non-member observer state status in the united nations in 2012. >> this will affirm the status of nine in the international community legally or politically. it is a good step to get the recognition equal to other states but under occupation. >> we're willing to continue the talks but not at any cost. >> reporter: reconcile nation caught the u.s. off guard and anglerred secretary of skate secretary of state john kerry. >> if they're not willing to make the compromises necessary it becomes very elusive. we will never give up our hope or our commitment for the possibilities of peace. we believe it is the only way to go. >> reporter: the u.s. has been the driving force behind the talks. president barack obama is visiting four countries in asia to win support for a major trade treaty. he struck a tone of frustration when he spoke about the middle east peace process. >> the fact that most recently president abbas took the unhelpful step of rejoining talks with hamas, you know, it's jest one of a serious of choices that both israelis and palestinians have made

the question today is will it make waives for investors here in the united states. d later the markable political survival on toronto mayor. i'll tell you why people in toronto would even think of electing him again. >> the debate that divides america, unites the critics, a reason to watch al jazeera america the standout television event borderland, is gritty honesty. >> a lot of people don't have a clue what goes on down here, the only way to find out, is to see it yourselves. >> taking viewers beyond the debate. >> don't miss al jazeera america's critically acclaimed series borderland on al jazeera america also available on demand >> last night i told you about china's economy slowing down from its torrid pace, but with a 7.4% growth rate, it is still an extremely attractive designation for american businesses, and that goes both ways. more chinese companies are coming to the united states looking for investment dollars to help fuel their growth. since last year, we have seen more chinese companies file plans to become publicly traded on the new york stock exchange

was the united states role played well this time? is. >> i think all of the diplomats did a good job in coming one a document, that at least creates a frame work for deescalating the crisis. the important point here is implementation. and that will be the real test of who controls what where in ukraine at this point. i think what we will see is to what extent the situation is controlled. there are a lot of forces on the ground, with arms that don't really answer to any of the four parties that were in geneva today. so whether they get this under control or not remains to be seen. >> we heard the president talking about the importance of establishing ukrainian sovereignty on ukrainian territory. yet, there was vladimir putin talking about eastern ukraine, do we have to acknowledge that he has a lot of say about what ends up happening even as we don't legally recognize him that is the russian president, as a party? look, the russians have a great deal of leverage over what happens inside ukraine. to get the energy dependance, the influe

brings people out who otherwise would not come out and vote either for or against him. >> even in the united statesipal elections do not get a big turnout. bottom line, though, you tapped into the idea that he tapped into in 2010 a sent meant that was running through the united states and that was that tea party sentiment, that low taxes sentiment, does that still persist in a place like toronto? >>, you know, i -- i would not bet against him. i myself have talked to many otherwise reasonable individuals who say, literally i'm quoting now, i don't care if he does crack as long as he lowers my taxes. and politicians will get drummed out if they are seen to be abusing their power and the tax dollars, but apparently ethics moral behavior, that is a little bit more forgivable. it is disheartening in my view, because you want people to believe in politicians and think we deserve a higher standard of behavior, and we're seeing a little bit of the opposite. we'll see how this plays out. so far i would say he has struck a nerve which is i don't know that the government is there for me, and that is the prob

the road? it's the state of alaska. who's maintaining it i maintain? it's the aleutian's east borrow. it's not the united states taxpayers paying for this. again, 10-mile, one-lane gravel non-commercial use road. you've got options here. the secretary of the interior has determined she wants to look at other options, she wants to find other alternatives. well, mr. president, the fact of the matter is we've been looking at alternatives for a long time now and those alternatives have been tried and failed or studied and reviewed and discarded. but the one thing that we're pretty sure of is that this fisherman from seattle who got injured and had to wait 13 hours to get out, we're pretty sure that we could have put him on an ambulance across that road if one existed. and that he would not have had to wait for 12 hours. we're pretty sure that the 63-year-old woman who suffered heart issues on valentine's day and had to wait hours and hours and hours for the coast guard to pluck her out of king cove before she was able to safely make it to the hospital in anchorage, we're pretty sure that she could have been
