u.s. advisers accompany their units into combat was one of the things that enabled the iraqi army to be successful during the period of u.s. involvement in the iraq war. the other part of that was having u.s. units on the ground partner with those iraqi forces. so clearly, the strategy is not working now. there is not enough trainers. they're not accompanying the units into iraq and as a result, the iraqi army is failing at pretty much every task its undertaken. >> that's pretty extraordinary. what does that say about u.s. strategy in iraq as it stands right now and perhaps more importantly, how does the united states prevent isis from consolidating its power across the region more than it already has? what needs to be done right now? >> i think it's pretty clear the strategy is failing right now. isis is controlling its grip on al anbar province. it did lose some ground in tikrit, but it gained ground elsewhere. and the iraqi army and the kurdish and the popular militia units, the shiite militias simply don't have the power to roll isis back. and it -- despite all the air power that we're applyin

russia and the united states have been cooperating, perhaps the one bright spot at the moment in u.s. cooperation on that issue. of course, the americans though are quite worried about the sale of russian missile defense system to his iran. after that, then we go onto syria, the united states believes that the ground is shifting in syria and that the rebels are winning more and more ground and that assad is looking weaker and weaker. of course russia has been backing assad for a good number of years the united states wants russia to change its orientation and persuade assad to come to the negotiating table. then last of all, we have ukraine. and this is perhaps where things are looking most intractable at the moment. we have both sides pledging accordance to the minsk agreements reached in february. but still a lot of ground between them and not much sign that they will actually come together. >> all right rory challands live for us in the russian city of sochi. >>> now, members of the u.n. human rights council have once again criticized the united states for the guantanmo bay detenti

u.s. for trial. so this is the united states playing globo-cop. that is irrefutable. or: jules boycoff i want to ask you you've played competitively for the u.s. and in international soccer tournaments. what was your response when the scandal broke with fifa and can you say a little bit about the way in which soccer has changed from the time that you played until now? jules: absolutely. corruption in fifa has been a secret for a long time. i was surprised when the allegations came out and i was surprised that the justice department would pursue this using the legal means at its disposal. soccer has changed a lot over the years and it's become a big-time money enterprise, and there's a whole lot at stake. fifa is supposedly a nonprofit organization. yet it sure is profitable. it has holdings of about $1.5 billion. it made nearly $5 billion off the brazil world cup. and so when you have that kind of money floating around we shouldn't be surprised about stories regarding envelopes full of tens of thousands of dollars, or we shouldn't be surprised by stories like chuck bla

u.s. and other for its civil nuclear program. we believe it's in the best interest the united states to support u.s. industry's ability to compete in this fast growing and expanding market. several companies have numerous joint companies with kwhiechina and assets on the ground there and there's a broad range of services with construction and training. the successor 123 agreement facilitates continued cooperation with china summit of course, to u.s. government review of specific requests to transfer nuclear technology, information, material, equipment, and components. on the other hand, if the agreement lapses or is not renewed, u.s. industry would essentially be cut off from the market constituting a potentially serious commercial threat to the overall health and well being of the civil nuclear industry. u.s. industry would also be precluded from taking advantage of future opportunities in the world's fastest growing civil nuclear energy market. in addition to the economic benefits, the successor 123 agreement serves an an umbrella for continuing other forms of u.s.-china bil

u.s. advisors in with the iraqi army units like the ones we just saw fleeing. without u.s. visors in those units, i think we're going to see them continuing to flee and we're not going to be able to get all that we could get out of the u.s. air power that's there. >> i want to play jeb bush's pevolving statements. let's listen to how he handled that. >> knowing what we know now, would you have authorized the invasion? >> i would have. so would have hillary clinton just to remind everybody. and so would have almost everybody confronted with the intelligence they got. >> i would have not engaged -- i would have not have gone into iraq. >> that was a four-day evolution into getting it down i would not have gone into iraq. what do you make of the way these republican candidates are facing this question? >> you see that with bush, you see rubio saying something similar. on the other hand, you see senator cruz saying of course it was a mistake. so they're split. i think that the larger issue here is are they willing to admit that all of what we're seeing in the region now, the ris

the united states is still the largest -- essentially the largest funder of the world cup because u.s. networks pay the highest tv rights, the highest value tv rights for the world cup. and so a lot of those deals are transported in the united states in u.s. dollars. they're negotiated in oou new york. that's the jurisdiction that -- that's what the u.s. says gives them jurisdiction. these charges that are being brought are going to be related to things that are against the law in switzerland because some of these people are in switzerland, so they have to follow swiss law. so you'll have charges such as money laundering and wire fraud. these are things that are comparable to u.s. -- i'm sorry, between u.s. and swiss law. but it is something that's going to be a very difficult thing because now we face the prospect of having to deal with swiss courts, swiss judges that are going to have to approve extradition for these people that are now being charged. >> clearly, they think they have some good evidence if they've moved ahead with such a dramatic news this is a big story. we'll conti

u.s. trade debate that's not the case. basically they are saved both for and after nafta. better? the united states is a before-and-after nafta and so much of the u.s. debate is about trying to assess the. impacts of nafta and the subsequent agreements and most importantly china's entry into the wto. so i think unfortunately the question of the impact of fta you look it very much with respect to that trade agreement and look in each case there were a set of promises made to the american people about what happened in terms of it and it didn't play out quite the way the administration promised. >> is the green eyed on? >> is that better? >> my green light is on and i've tried both different directions. so again as i was saying for the united states everything is very much a before-and-after nafta and it's about trying to assess the impact of those agreements on the u.s. economy and each of those cases what we saw fairly rapidly after the agreements was an increase in the u.s. trade deficit. the before and after the fourth china's entry into the wto those countries have higher trade barriers th

they are concerned this nuclear agreement will open up a reapproachment between the united states and iran. on the u.s i think the united states would like support for the nuclear agreement by the gulf countries and they can get qualified support and ultimately will support it. so i think a worth wild meeting. but it certainly did not achieve a break through in any respect. olivia: all right. perhaps a step back but ultimately the president announced he was going to have this meeting with nuclear leaders. the goal instead of saudi arabia to think they don't need to have their own nuclear deterrent. keeping in mind the king himself didn't actually come from saudi arabia, himself, that president obama was successful in convincing them that they didn't need build their own nuclear deterrent and could rely on the u.s.? >> that will depend on what kind of actions the united states takes in helping defend saudi arabia and protecting them from the threat they see coming from across the persian gulf from iran. if we are robust in our response to concerns, then i think saudi's feeling of security as a deterren

united states. the problem for the u.s. -- how to stem the flow of job-seeking mexicans.t was keeping investment and jobs out of xico? was there a way for mexico to attract the good jobs that would encourage mexican workers to look for work in mexico. mexico's resume as a host to employers looked ideal. it had ready supplies of energy, access to the huge consumer markets of the united states and most important of all, large labor force. but for years, much of mexico's labor force sat idle the result of policies that excluded job-creating foreign investment policies followed by the governments of both xico and the uned states. was there a solution one that would attract investment to mexico and induce mexican workers to look for work at home? the maquiladora was one solution. border factories in which mexican workers assembled u.s.-made components for export with reduced tariffs to the american market. what did the maquiladora offer to the two sides of the border? it's a twofold process which involves both mexico opening its border originally only on an experimental basis,

united states care so much about world soccer officials? well crowds here tend to favor football and basketball. well the u.s. attorney general says alleged crimes actually took place right here on american soil. >> they planned aspects of this long-running scheme during meetings held here in the united states. they used the banking and the wire facilities of the u.s. to distribute their bribe payments and they planned to profit from their scheme in large part through promotional efforts directed at the growing u.s. market for soccer. all of these defendants abused the u.s. financial system and violated u.s. law. >> listen there are a lot of layers to this story. one of them being this american informant who provided crucial information on the alleged corruption. there were meetings that hinted at shady deals. also the u.s. launched an expensive bid to host the 2022 world cup and lost to the tiny desert peninsula of qatar, known for extreme temperatures of up to 120 degrees. i have "nation" magazine sports editor joining me now. david, welcome. >> hello. >> you said this that bribery and fifa go together like

u.s. ground combat units. however, isis despite some setbacks, is on the offense with the ability to attack at will anyplace any time and particularly the fall of ramadi has exposed the weakness of the current iraq strategy. it is more than just a setback. politically, the administration deserves credit for ushering out the maliki government and bringing in abadie government. but is undermines by maliki who remains a nefarious character and others within abadie's own party. abadie is unduly influenced by iran and the united states is not nearly as consequential as it should be. a u.s. objective should be politically to reduce iran's influence. we need a focused diplomatic and political effort with the abadie government, with the best people we have available to do it. militarily, clearly the iraqi army is a serious problem. while some have fought heroically, many have not. there are serious leadership discipline morale and competence issues. this will take time to fix. but if we believe that iraq is important
