the us is an exceptional country but not in the way that most people think about it the us is exceptionally dysfunctional and if we compare the united states with advanced democracies around the world the us is in a category all by itself nothing really works here. the us government is set up into branches to ensure no one body too much power one of them is congress but most of the time the two main parties are bickering blocking each other and sometimes shutting down the government altogether in fact the last time the us government came together in an official declaration of war was world war two and back then we were fighting another exceptionally. worse. terrorist for the. weeks past. just destroying the german constitution when it came to white people to lose them and support this program before being able to seal beach the whole thing. so well at home there is much work to do abroad there is even more. our domestic political dysfunction helps to explain the ease with which we go abroad to mess around with other people's lives it's much easier for the political establishment in washingt

the us provides the most liquid securities in the world. they're backed by the full faith and credit of the world's largest economy. one of its most stable democracies, that's how people see it. there are no alternatives. people don't want to hold renminbi debt in huge quantities, even if it existed, they don't know the future of china, there are exchange controls, so you can't convert it easily. there are no financial markets. the euro zone has been a mess in itself. so, in the end people are very happy to hold us treasuries as long as they see the us is continuing basically to be a stable place. the deal that has just been reached will confirm their view, i think, that in the end the us pulls back from the brink. and so, the confidence will remain until that ceases to be true. >> looking at the economy, how do you see the us economy five years after the great crash? >> well, i think it's actually largely healed. the evidence we have from previous studies of crises tends to take five to seven years to get through the process of deleveragin

everyone's all doom and gloom about the us because i also spoke to alberto citibank this for a man he was equal to mystic about situations type size but hopeful that the situation there would. be something that if you have any theory. but you also look at like that's nothing when you would see the fish story look if you look at the price of money and the price of. the feed the most effective level in the making and that's done when you think you're wrong about the coverage of the u.s. market don't you think it. could be so i think it's risky because looking back. president obama has even had to cancel his shadow trip to indonesia the situation als he was expected to attend the apec summit in body of course that all of that i caused in the head of russia's second largest and of who will be in attendance spoke to me about the about russia definitely last year i think i did defy itself as one of the leading. nations. yeah pacific region and i think from this point a few as you know since that time since september last year what a lot this season inside russia. develop the region they inc

force against the country it's the threat or use of force so threatening iran is also illegal sending drones into iranian territory is illegal and unfortunately the u.s. government is breaking international law. almost daily basis and unfortunately we do not have any condemnation from the united nations with the international bodies so you don't feel that the only way to protect the country is just by advancing its defense capabilities and i think that's what the iranian government has been trying to do and apart from coping american drawings iran recently unveiled its own models of drones so does that mean that economic sanctions i don't have saying it's technological progress. right right you know we have a good number of good engineers in iran and they have been doing an excellent job not only in terms of military equipment even when you look at iran's nuclear program it's been developed based on you know the mystic. engineering advances iran is a progress sing country about thirty five years ago you know iran was just some other

the problem is when we choose to use them and how. the u.s.olicy is posing some the problems because, first of all, they don't infringe less on state sovereignty than in on the ground invasion. you still have to go through their airspace. the argument of invoking american self-defense after 9/ 11, it's 12 years on. it is a doubtful argument on. it you need the criteria of imminence. it is not sure in many of these cases whether a threat is imminent every time the united states decides to go ahead with the drone strike. repressor bates was talking about sustainable war, moving away from conventional wars. what does sustainable war mean? it can be the permanent state of affairs. the state of affairs is supposed to be peacetime. >> the american policy vis-À-vis the war on terror is to move away -- >> that is a sense of what i got from the speech in may. these two reports from anise tea international point out that barack obama seemed to announce a slight change in policy from the united states. moving away from discriminant war, it will not last

us it's a very important result of the option of this resolution is that the use of force in syria is not regarded anymore internationally as something which. can be regarded as a as an imminent threat so now all the focus is on the specific work which needs to be done for the elimination of chemical weapons in syria and it's very encouraging that things are moving very fast do you think these things are achievable a timeframe of the resolution i know i think or that i think they are achievable they're the time frames are coincide with the with the framework agreement which was reached by russia in the united states in geneva in the us on september fourteenth this is a difficult schedule but i think there is reason to believe that this is a realistic schedule provided there is cooperation from the syrian government which we see is there and also provided there is required cooperation from various opposition groups and one important element of this resolution twenty one eighteen is that it makes demands and not only on the government of syria but also on but it's a position groups of t

in the military we use them number 1 for lethal purposes, but that's a small sliver of what the militaryses drones for. in most cases we're using them to gather intelligence. so as we transition, i think we'll see that drones can be used for firefighting, for search and rescue, and border patrol, and lots of domestic uses as well. >> let's talk about private drones. there is a misnomer that they are just in the pursue of the military. steve you use a drone that most people have never heard of. tell us what you do with it. >> one of my loves for a long time has been aviation. i have a private pilot's license, and it was natural for me to want to find out more about drone technology. it's a lot of fun, and there are some very practical uses. you know i can take my drone and have a great time putting it up someplace and at the same time i can be watching -- as far as animal protection goes, areas that very badly need to be watched. like in pennsylvania there are places where they slaughter live pigeons individually shot out of boxes. and in doing so, we find illegal animal abuse. i have fou

sergio, most people in juarez don't have the means to flee to the us. back across the border, jesus juarez and his family are packing up too, and moving - to a different part of town. rows of homes lie abandoned, stripped by looters. entire neighborhoods like this one lie empty - vacated by maquila workers like jesus, many because they had been laid off and could no longer afford to pay the government-backed mortgages on houses they'd been encouraged to buy. for more than 40 years, the city's primary legal economy had revolved around the maquilas - assembly plants which offered foreign manufacturers cheap labor and proximity to us markets. mexicans moved to the border town lured by the promise of work. the city became the blue print for the north american free trade agreement implemented in 1994. as nafta reshaped mexico's land-ownership laws, slashed tariffs on us imports and allowed subsidized us corn to flood the country, mexico's agricultural sector was devastated. hundreds of thousands were forced to migrate to the united states in search of income
