is putting on a united face. he almost lost his grasp on power but now is safe in the runup to the election. he asked the delegates for their backing. >> yes, there were times that were really tough. sometimes i made mistakes and i hope that i learned something from them. there were also really idiotic evenings which were spent pondering some very fundamental questions. >> he has gained fresh confidence for the task ahead of him. he says the party must carry its message of freedom into the next election. but not lose track of what concerns ordinary people. >> i'll tell you all something. the determination, the unity, and the will for victory of the free democratic party should not be underestimated. we know what we're fighting for -- for our convictions, our ideas, for our country, for germany. >> the much-anticipated vote followed the speech and delegates gave him the strong mandate he asked for. he won 85% of the ballots cast, a result he can be happy with. >> i happily accept your votes. it will be a good week

the united states is facing another fiscal crisis -- automatic spending cuts totaling $85 billion are due to go into effect if the white house and congress do not reach an agreement to reduce the deficit. >> it probably sounds familiar from the beginning of the year when republicans and democrats battled their way to the brink of the fiscal cliff. now the language is not quite as dramatic. "the sequester" is the buzz word this time. >> but it could still spell big trouble for the u.s. economy and knock on effects for the whole world. alabama the clock is ticking. if no deal is struck, president obama will order the cuts known in washington jargon as the sequestered at the stroke of midnight. >> the case and taking to the american people and my strong hope is that we can once and for all these all this in a way that is equitable and a way that is focused on growth, in a way that provides opportunity for everybody in this country who is willing to work hard. >> but hopes are dwindling for a last-ditch compromise. republicans and democrats are still a engaged in a war of words over who i

time, what i would like to do is sort-of describe some of the big challenges that you the united states economy faces right now and then kind-of lay out wells fargo baseline forecast for where he where where we see thing headed for the overall united states economy and at the end of high presentation i brought as me some terrific slides on the local regional market specific to real estate but only a great fool would use those after the presentation by dan that we just witnessed and so i'll probably concentrate more on the united states stuff and not impasse pipe hive and so we begin here with this graph the federal budget surplot plus or deficit. obviously it's been some time since we have run anything like a significant budget surplus we went into the recession carrying a farrell substantial deficit and obviously that really ballooned and got much much worse and what we are facing now are really the biggest bulletin deficits that the united states economy has faced since the second world war we are moving in the right direction it's getling smogger and it's still a farrell daunting challenge and thi

that tries to think out of the box about what is surely the biggest economic issue that the united states faces in the long run. how to pay for our health care. you may not agree with everything in it, but it's important to read it and think about it. now, for the last look. which is the world's most innovative city? some of you will guess a city in asia, perhaps singapore or seoul or perhaps cutting edge tel aviv. maybe a european city. nope, it's none of them. the nonprofit urban land institute has weighed the merits of 200 cities and come up with medine, colombia as number one. why, because it staged a remarkable turn around from being a drug war capital. the homicide rate has plummeting 80% in two decades. in parts, its citizens are helped by innovations like this giant escalator, which allows residents of poor neighborhoods to get to the city center safely. it also won praise for its metro cable car system and new libraries in schools and parks. you see cities have always been places that create opportunity for people from all walks of life. medine is for fulfilling that historical role an

i think the united states is faced with two options that are bad. ander to arm the opposition risk those arms falling into the wrong hands, or risk destabilization and radicalization not just of syria but the whole region. many in washington think that with time, the that states must feel the second options, which is intervening in may be in and direct way to stop be radicalization, may prompt the first, but there are no easy options and no indication yet this will take place. >> thank you very much for joining us. >>> more news from syria, the most prominent sunni cleric has been killed by a bomb blast at a mosque in central damascus. he died along with more than 40 other people in what syrian state television says was a terrorist suicide attacked at the mosque. he was an outspoken critic of the syrian opposition. >>> iran's supreme leader has acknowledged the west's economic sanctions against iran have been effective. he said this was due to the iranian economy is over dependence on oil. he said he was not opposed to direct talks to america about

i say the biggest national security threat now facing the united states, it's not china, it's not iranorth korea, it's not climate change. these are all significant threats. the biggest national security threat facing the united states for the immediate future is what is is going on inside the united states. the fact we're not dealing with our deficit or our debt, that our economy is growing at less than half -- roughly about half its historical rate. our k through 12 schools are a scandal. our infrastructure is breaking down and so forth and so on. unless we fix the domestic sources of american power we're not going to be in a position to begin to deal with all the challenges beyond our borders. unless we get it right here at home, how are we going to set an example that the rest of the world is going to want to emulate? unless we get it right here at home, how are we going to reduce our vulnerability say to a chinese decision to stop financing our debt? so we've got to do all those things. so right now we have got to focus at home. i'm not talk about isolationism. i am talking, thoug
