a senior policy fellow at the european council, and robert hunter, former united states ambassador to nato, and let me continue, where what we were talking about before the break. the president will be heading to astone yeah before he goes to the senate. is being aligned with the west suddenly looking like a much better deal than it even did before? >> well, it always looks like a good deal, and astone yeah was always keep getting to nato, has been a dutiful member. spending 2% of the defense. and i do not think it is correct, to put it on the same level with ukraine. even though, of course, events in ukraine impacts a lot, how astone yeah sees it's own security. i think the two countries have different status, as mentioned. i think russia for now at least given up on the baltic states, but indeed it does think it has legitimate issues in ukraine. so it's not like astone yeah is expected to be invaded by russia and obama the only person to save astone yeah from that. i think things are slightly more complicated. never the less, good news, of course. >> robert hunter, i understand ever

they're going to announce a deal as a great success but it will not be a success for the united states. >> ambassador john bolton. >>> turning now to the immigration crisis here at home, while the house friday night finally passed a $694 million bill to try to tackle the immigration crisis, it has virtually no chance of becoming law any time soon. that's because the senate has already left for summer recess. leaving our border patrol agents to deal with the massive flow of immigrants on our southern border, wondering what will happen next. >> after a shocking turn ofts o bafd a bill -- the legislation which allocates far less than the president proposed outlines requirements for an expedited deportation process. the president's authority to deport certain illegal immigrants depending on their country of origin, that's the source of tens of thousands of unaccompanied minors flooding the border. the only way to combat the problem is to get to the underlying and deep causes of the issue. >> the only way to address that is to address the root causes of what's happening, and the root causes are a combinat

to that conversation which apparently took place between prime minister netanyahu and the united states ambassador to israel dan sha peerpirshapiro. i think netanyahu is right in telling the world not to second-guess him or israel. they are defending their citi n citizens against a blood thirsty enemy. i think we have made it unable to raise its ugly head not just against us but the people of because saturday and against the world. >> israeli soldiers have now gone to find one of their own. they have entered early saturday into gaza, troops there searching for a soldier believed to have been captured yesterday. you can't have a cease-fire if gaza has captured one of their own, can you? >> no, i don't think we're talking about a cease-fire. there is no cease-fire, no agreement with hamas as we said. >> and will there be if they have one of their israeli soldiers? >> no. i believe that we cannot have either a cease-fire or an end to the conflict with hamas until we know the state of that soldier and have him back home safely. i think israel has never left any of its boys behind and i'm sure we will

the united states ambassador has called the yuan to investigate the situation. en condemned the globally by the u.n. and the united statess -- and the united kingdom. the u.n. should look into this. incertainly has not worked -- it has been a tragic incident. it has not worked in israel's interests. perhaps it was part of the reason why they wanted this humanitarian cease-fire for the next few hours. >> thank you for the updates. thank you for joining us from bloomberg in tel aviv. we will be back later to keep you up-to-date on the situation. i want to take you to live features from belgium. heads of states have joined king philippe they to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the start of world war i, or at least britain be involved in the war. that was when this actually happened. this is a significant day for enormouse most conflicts in human history. we will show you pictures from what is taking place in the country. it is a somber and difficult day for europe to get through. were closed.kets thousands of young men found themselves out of work. they listed i

so i spoke earlier with the former israeli ambassador to the united states. ambassadorank you so much for being with us. you heard some of the statements made by the ambassador for the plo i'm wondering if you have any comments on that. >> well, first of all, israel has welcomed repeatedly ceasefires. we do not want to hurt anybody, least of all civilians. it was hamas who broke and and never accepted the ceasefires. hamas the one who actually provoke and instigated the entire crisis. and i would like to remind the previous speaker, ambassador that israel has left completely gaza in 2005, seven, eight years ago. we have uprooted all our communities over there. we gave gaza to the palestinians till the last inch. since we did that in the hope that this would change their attitude towards peace we have received more than 15,000 rockets indiscriminately on our civil populations. so of course we would appreciate the ceasefire. as i observed, the government of prime minister netanyahu, they really are reluctant warriors. they do not want to start. they did not want to contin

but first the palestinian representative to the united states. ambassador, you just heard our jim acosta saying this was the headline, the president coming out, using the strongest words yet against hamas saying he has no sympathy for the militant group. what's your response to the president? >> my response is we expect president obama and the united states to have sympathy to palestinian victims, to have sympathy to the palestinians who have been enduring a brutal military occupation for the last 47 years. the delegation which is in cairo today includes all factions. we're trying to unite the rights of the palestinian people and what we need from the united states is sincere support for the palestinian people to be free, independent and sovereign. >> the president seems to be getting at is not to deny that palestinian civilians have been killed. everyone knows that has happened. it has been horrific to watch, ambassador. but whether hamas is aiding, abetting and encouraging those civilian deaths, there is some video i want to show you. no doubt you've prob

with me now from santa fe, new mexico, joseph wilson, the former united states ambassador to baghdad before gulf war 2. welcome. >> it is actually before gulf war 1. i was there during gulf war 1. 1990, 1991. >> our apologies. let me throw a map on the screen to illustrate the larger crisis here. it's all kinds of colors here. but the thick red streaks are the parts of northern iraq where isis is active. green is where isis essentially rules. and we're hearing today of a possible move by isis on the town of kirkuk. what would it mean. >> well, kirkuk is the -- the newly proclaimed kurdish capital. it's the oil capital of iraq. they -- they would be able to disrupt the oil supplies. certainly demoralize the kurds, who just recently took kirkuk. and while they would probably find some difficulty in finding mar markets for the oil, certainly disrupt domestic production. >> and then you have these, as we mentioned, tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands of refugees, this desperate exodus. we have been seeing this video of these families fleeing northern iraq, fleeing isis. and we're fi

grover norquist had, but having troops there as ambassadors of the united states, representatives of all of us and free people everywhere has actually been positive. just looking at the contrast between south korea and north korea is a great example of what america can do that is good for the world using all of its instruments of american foreign policy. [applause] >> now, the $200 billion deficit that reagan ran up in the 1980's was a product of tax cuts but a strong increase in military spending that seems to have contributed to the end of the cold war. was that a worthwhile investment? is the world better off, including mass, because there is no soviet union and eastern europe is free? >> caution, someone is lobbing softballs. >> my witness. >> obviously that is a

united states and any other country. even with the soviet union there was relations and ambassadors. even with vietnam with the wars and everything the united states and ambassadors have official relations. but iranians and americans have failed to establish a had been and experienced all means of hostility. economic, covert, cyber, political war. the united states definitely tried over three decades to bring regime change in iran and failed. i try to explain the roots of hostili hostility. rarely you would find this in the west living in iran and having access to the policy making system to write from the lens of iranian culture. policy making structure of the country and how iranians view americans and the united states. i did my best to be balanced in order to explain both point of views but i think that the advantage or my objective was more to explain the iranian point of view because of the vacuum in the west lit. i talked about a century of 1856 to 1953. i have 25 years of relation between iran and the united states after the revolution, the time the united states supported the

the united states ambassadors. about a horrifying incident. so, yes. >> what happens when this truce ends? >> your guess is as good as mine. as you have understood and pointed out, since the last alleged that hamas broke the truce as it try to capture one soldier and kill another. israel is saying, look, we tried to give you a truce. we have agreed on truces with you guys before. but it did not lead to anything. we cannot trust thomas. we will do things unilaterally -- we cannot trust hamas. we will do things unilaterally from here on out. a cityhting continues in on the border with egypt. israel continues to detonate tunnels. >> prime minister benjamin netanyahu commented that there would be a pivot in strategy moving assets in or out of gaza. ais that reflect some sort of -- does that reflect some sort of a pullout? does that necessarily sit well with the israeli people? >> nen yahoo! has been under pressure to make some sort of decision. has beenin netanyahu under pressure to make some sort of decision. he was under pressure from the thousa

joining us john bolton, former united states ambassador the u.n. and fox news contributor.versyria, too little, too late? >> amazing we haven't been doing this before, number one. number two, even more amazing to me that the president announced he was giving authorization. this is intelligence matter. he never should have said anything. why not give isis advanced warning when the drones and planes are coming. but the real problem i think is the president still doesn't have a strategy. does he want to destroy isis? does he want to contain isn't until he decides that, all of this is just tactics now. eric: islamic radical militants, the terrorists are on the march throughout the whole region. isis has taken a huge swath of iraq and syria, as big as jordan. they are on the march in iraq, syria, libya. when does it stop and is it too late to turn the tide? >> we have been way too late since the fall of mosul. we should have been doing much, much more. really at this point isil's control over the territory it has is not, it is not really fully embodied in military control. i thi

among the attendees, united states ambassador caroline kennedy. >>> a decade later in a movie studioane track dound the very first man in that monster suit. >> reporter: amid tokyo's ever changing skyline, godzilla still looms large 60 years on. though today this replica in midtown is more marvel than menace. in 1954 when godzilla was released the mutant sea creature terrorized audiences. the story is godzilla is spawned by a nuclear explosion and emerges to batter man and tokyo. now meet the original godzilla. we found the actor out of costume in a memorabilia stuffed apartment on the outskirts of tokyo. pictures from back in the day still get him chuckling and at 85 years old he's still got the moves. he was just 25 when he first played godzilla. >> how heavy was that suit? do you remember being in the suit? the suit way 2d 20 pounds, he told us. i was surrounded by hot lights. once i stuck a thermometer inside the suit and it was 140 degrees. it was released after u.s. dropped bombs on nagasaki and hiroshima. what were the roots of godzilla? >> godzilla is a creature of the americ

we'll have much more on syria and the islamic state talking with unit commander and former u.s. ambassador to the united states john bolton. turning now to the escalating tensions between russia and the ukraine on the eve of a meeting between the leaders of both nations, the ukrainian government today accusing russia of opening up a new front in the conflict across the border into the southern part of eastern ukraine. an area until now that has escaped hostilities between the two sides. russia has dismissed the incursion as propaganda and announced that it wants to send a second humanitarian aid convoy into eastern ukraine, saying that suspicions that it is a ruse to supply arms to the pro-russian levels are unfounded and all of this the day before, as we said, vladimir putin and petro poreshenko talk. we will be talking with the former president of georgia. no let up in the conflict hamas terrorist fired and benjamin netanyahu said that the week conflict is far from over. here at home the body of michael brown laid to rest and ferguson, missouri, more than 4500 people turned out to pay th

me to this great country, ambassadors who are with us here, particularly ambassador to south africa to presenting the united states the ambassador to the united states representing south africa, distinguished guests, ladies and gentlemen, it is an honor and a pleasure to be able to speak to you today from the same podium that our president nelson mandela spoke at 10 years ago when he was sanctioned for having supported our struggle. he was south africa's first democratically elected president. i would like to thank the national press club for providing this unique opportunity for us to talk about our country's journey towards a truly nonracial, nonsexist, and prosperous south africa. we have achieved a lot since the dawn of freedom in 1994. we have laid a firm foundation for sizing democracy in a short space of time. among our key achievements is the memory in which we have created an open democracy and and open society. we pride ourselves in having progressive constitution that enshrines freedom and expression and that also the media -- we are also proud of a well-established democratic processes, such as holding

dad was at the united nations, i lived in the waldorf with my parents, which is where the united states ambassador's eloise at the plaza but it was dora at the waldorf. >> i got to know president bush when he was the ambassador to the united nations. my admiration for him grew out of the fact that we came from such different backgrounds. he's the patrician, the w.a.s.p.. i'm the little jewish boy from the bronx who became temporarily notorious for my exploits as a reporter in new york. back in the early '70s, a smartass reporter wrote a piece for "new york" magazine in which he listed the ten most overrated men in new york. on the list were the president and myself. and what the bushes decided was they would invite all these guys on the list to a party. >> and so dad, in his typical way, sent out a letter and the letter began, dear mr. overrated so and so, i want to invite you to my house so we can look you over and see why you're so overrated. >> it was christmastime and they invited all the guys on the list to the party. the bushs were very gracious. they served us champagne and the future preside

. >> joining me now is sir peter westmacott, the british ambassador to the united states. mr. ambassador, thank you for coming off vacation, for many reasons. busy world at this point and a sad one. what do you know about this terrorist who took the life of james foley? >> i see the british media this morning speculating we are very close to identifying who this guy is and you may have seen my secretary philip hammond saying we're putting a great deal into the search. we're putting a lot into it and there are sophisticated technologies, vice identification and so on which people can use to check who these people are. of course the problem goes beyond one horrendous criminal, if you like. we have' got more people than we would like, people think that maybe as many as 500 british subjects have gone to syria in iraq for this cause of jihad, and it's not a problem exclusive to the united kingdom. we have people from lots and lots of western democracies who unfortunately are misguided enough to go to that part of the region and take up a cause which is a betrayal of all our values.

terrorists warn all international air travelers to stay clear of israel. >> former israeli ambassador to united states, lou: joining us tonight from tel aviv, former israeli ambassador daniel giller man. the 3 commanders that were killed in israeli strikes and the claim that chief military officer for hamas was killed what more can you tell us about that? >> well i would say that for the first time, lou, in about 3 or 4 weeks worky see that hamas is thrown out of balance, they did not care when their people suffered, they did not dare when children, and women were displaceed. when you hit their own commanders then you bridge the message home to them, fact that this three top commanders could probably the chief one, are out of the picture, i believe it is not just a military blow to thm but a moral blow to them, and i belief now, as they will have to go back to the negotiating take nel cairo, i believe in a day or too, they will have much lesser hand than they had before. which is a good news for all of us. lou: the prime minister, has vowed to continue to attack until hamas and its rockets are quiet.

despite the death of more than 1,500 palestinians, the israeli ambassador to the united states turned head across the globe by suggesting israeli soldiers be given the nobel peace prize. this what they called unimaginable restraint in gaza. while ron determiner made the comments last week, speaking in washington today he once again spoke of what he called the admirable restraint shown by his country's military. >> i believe just a few days, just a few days. a cease-fire israel should be admired internationally for doing everything to keep palestinian civilians out of harm's way. it doesn't mean we're perfect. it doesn't mean we don't make mistakes but we're taking measures no other country is taking ucks dropping flyers, making phone calls, sending text messages, giving people sometimes 48 hours. >> is it working very well? >> i think it is and i will tell you why. with the amount of civilian deaths going up, you have to look at average amounts? >> in proportion other conflicts, what happened with nato and kosovo. how many civilians were killed there? look at those facts and i think y

joining us now to discuss the efforts to end the fighting is daniel, the former israeli ambassador to the united states. he joins us from tel-aviv this morning. ambassador, thank you for being with us. so far the ceasefire is holding. if more rockets were to be fired -- >> good morning. >> if more rockets were to be fired now, how would you expect israel to respond? >> well, we'll have to defend ourselves and it will be a response in kind as to try to find the sources of the firing, but i hope this will not be the case. i think that weaver had too many fatalities on all sides, and we've had too much misery. now, if palestinians are serious, we can think of rebuilding, rebuilding in gaza, rebuilding in israel, and the israeli position will be very clear, demilitarization for problem expert, for opening and even building ports, and becoming really a normal region where we can cooperate and work together for a better future for all of us. >> do you think that demilitarization, which hamas sees at leverage and its only leverage is a realistic demand from israel? >> i think so. if we look at just recent his

that anxpecting authority prepared for the new ambassador that will be coming to mogadishu. the united states government has already given us some assurance that soon the ambassador will be in mogadishu. year, the the last relationship between the united states and somalia has been improving and making a lot of progress. with the two ambassadors in place, we are expecting further improvement of progress in our relationship. on the other hand, yes, the united states is supporting somalia but not only in the security sector. the united states is a major traditional donor of somalia throughout the years. the kind of aid that was given somalia is no different. previously it was more focused on food handouts and health facilities like vaccination. this is needed still and the need for that is there. we have been engaging with the united states government to increase the support and diversify it instead of emergency packages only or recovery packages. working with somalia to have a new constitution and new set of laws -- these are the areas where the united states right now is supporting us and it

joining me is former israeli ambassador to the united states, michael orin, ambassador, good morning to you. >> good morning, chuck. >> very quickly, i want to wrap something up. i know you had an interview with andrea mitchell, we had some technical issues. let me just repeat the question that she asked and that is simply about this idea that israel has been eavesdropping on secretary kerry's phone calls, sort of his unencrypted phone. he wasn't using an encrypted phone. is that something that you know the israeli intelligence to do from time to time? >> thank you for the opportunity to respond to that. when andrea was asking me the question, the audio fell and people in the blogsphere had a bit of a field day thinking i was trying to dodge the question. israel doesn't spy on the united states, doesn't eavesdrop on the united states. no eavesdropping, no spying. >> hang on. israel has been caught spying before in the united states. there's somebody in jail -- >> 1985. >> all right. >> in 1985. >> but you said declaratively israel doesn't spy on the united states. that's not true. th

united nations school in gaza. ron dermer, israel's ambassador to the united states, joins me now. i'm pleased to have him on the program. welcome back. tell me what's happening in terms of your communication with your government on the ground in gaza. >> we are trying to a sustainable cease-fire that will essentially achieve three goals. the first is to bring an end to the rocket attacks. nearly 3000 have been fired in 200el and equivalent to million americans have been going to bomb shelters multiple times per day. we want to take care of these tunnels that have been dug from gaza into israel where terrorists infiltrate and pop-out from the israeli side and tried to kill civilians and soldiers. we lost a number of soldiers days ago from the tunnel attacks and we are in the process of destroying them as we speak so we want to make sure during a cease-fire, after a cease-fire, we need to destroy those tunnels. the third thing we want to do, charlie, is we want to make sure is that hamas does not arm themselves after. we now have three rounds of confrontation with hamas. the first w
