control is still built for the cold war but we have these talks that limit the forces of russia and the united states. that's not the problem today. the problem is pakistan and north korea. >> eliot: you're exactly right. i want to drill down on these. you're right. a bipolar treaty between the united states and russia is nice but does not confront the nations of the rogue nation that you're talking about and how do we deal with them. a no-use first strategy sends the message we won't first, but you better be prepared for retaliation. would you use them against iran for instance. >> yes, i am convinced it would influence iran because it would force the people and it's government to think through what they're doing. right now every move they make is celebrated through a good part of the world because its striking a blow on israel and the united states and others. i can't guarantee that they won't use nuclear weapons but i can gather tee that they guarantee that they'll have to think through the consequences of it. >> eliot: you want to say no matter who you may be, you will suffer the consequences tha

historian and i think especially for americans you can't understand the relationship between the united states and russia without remembering the history and we americans don't have a lot of use for history but the history is quite simple in the twenty one years since the soviet union did in one thousand nine hundred one in the relationship between washington and moscow all the concessions have been made by moscow. moscow his research has received nothing of significance in return now if our viewers say that can't be i invite your viewers to think of one major concession that washington's made to moscow now let's go to the parish troika to the reset periods are the reset between obama and present been good at that you need to read but they have if you like to carry around with them maybe you know showing them to the cab well it began that they didn't know that the americans misspelled the word for resign from the beginning but now let's be very careful analytical about this obama wanted for me to get a washington wanted from moscow some very persistent things specific things he wanted moscow to support s

wanted moscow to permit supplying nato troops fighting in afghanistan afghanistan over and through russia the united states received that so the concessions were given by moscow moscow in return wanted an end to the name to nato expansion and end to american interference in internal russian politics and a compromise on missile defense moscow received none of these three and that is why the so-called reset failed but that is also why there's been no american russian partnership since the so-called into the cold war that's the reality of the a store called reality and that's where things stand today as we approach the american election so so sort of getting back to where we started so we do want i mean people who who care about russia and their relations and that we haven't heard about them and we do want a change in american foreign policy wanted us whoever we wanted for two reasons. only one thing is needed from an american russian cooperative partnership that is cooperation against international terrorism which is growing and which is a threat to both of us and cooperation on ending the political ration o

american leadership and he is putting forward a proposal that would see turkey egypt the united states and russia call for and managed to broker some more ten years cease fires between both israel and gaza now also on saturday the two mr foreign minister was in gaza to show support for the hamas leadership we also see egypt playing an increasing nearly three role but of course cairo has a very delicate balance to walk with on the one hand supporting and reflecting the will of the egyptian people which is see themselves as brothers of those that live in gaza while on the other hand not annoying its international backers such as washington it certainly seems as if a ground invasion is not far off we have witnessed a flurry of activity along the israel gaza border there we have seen israel firing increasing rounds of ammunition from tanks and armored personnel vehicles that have been positioned and moved along the border over the past few days we've also heard from israeli officials who've been meeting with foreign diplomats and they say that they plan to expand their operations so this does seem to

to become more receptive to outside intervention of iran, turkey, saudi arab ya and the united states and russia and the european countries. what happened in lebanon -- if left to themselves, lebanon -- which is another sad story -- they might have been able to compromise and come together as they did on a number of occasion before re '7s and '80s, and work things out somehow. find some sort of system and muddle through this. but as they say in real estate, location is everything. and lebanon being between syria and israel, and of course syria itself being on the border of israel, lebanon, iraq, south of turkey, you're not going to be -- you cannot be the switzerland over the middle east. are going to have outside influences which usually exacerbate the situation and lengthen the time of the civil war. >> and so let's talk a little bit now, shifting the perspective, to the personal connections that you have to the house of assad. i would love for you to give us a good feel for, who is this man who is the president and how did he change over the time that you've known him? seems like there was a

ceasefire could be on the cards to support for the proposal that would seek to keep egypt the united states and russia broker spontaneous peace plans but we're not hearing the same kind of commitment from hindsight a ground both the israelis as well as a must say that they're only paid to lay down arms if the other side does it is one of the not human assurances from either side that this will happen so he will be hearing from the masses that it will stop firing rockets on israel if the jewish state that's the blockade that he has placed on gaza for several years now and stops with these assassinations at his weekly cabinet meeting on sunday morning the israeli prime minister netanyahu did say that he was ready to significantly expand those were his words the israeli operation in gaza in tel aviv immediately following this they were sirens held in there were at least two rockets that were intercepted by. by the iron dome missile defense system this has intelligent alarming warning bells particularly to people in for the meet soon to and towards the north of the country and mass and other militants are

heard of another peace proposal put forward by two key in which it says it to egypt the united states and russia should be involved in brokering so teigne peace plans i think it needs to be said and that it's not very clear that either side really is ready for a cease fire so to say that they are ready but only if the other stops and we've really seen an attempt of a cease fire in the egyptian prime minister visited gaza recently and during his visit that so-called cease fire was broken both sides. breaking its suit so it doesn't seem at this stage that any kind of c.s.i. is on the plans israel has been using its tanks as well as armored personnel vehicles up and down the israeli gaza border for several days now and this does raise the whole question of where the nothing is going to be and in and ground operation we did see some seventy five thousand israeli was caught. in the last few hours at the same time we also are hearing reports that israeli. eating with foreign diplomats and warning them that they were extending the ground operation they didn't actually see a ground operation its ability

of another peace proposal put forward by turkey in which it says that two key egypt the united states and russia should be involved in brokering some obtain is peace plans but it needs to be said that it's not marry care that either side really is ready for a cease fire both say that they are ready but only if the other stops and we've really seen an attempt at seaside when the egyptian prime minister visited gaza recently and during his visit that so-called cease fire was broken both sides played. for breaking it suits it doesn't seem at this stage that any kind of c.s.i. is on the plans there are reports israel's main massing is troops sometimes on the gaza border and have even been reports of shelling how far can we verify this information what we know that israel has been moving its tanks as well as armored personnel vehicles up and down the israeli gaza border for several days now we also know that there has been shelling from these times from israel into gaza city and this does raise the whole question of whether nothing is going to be an imminent ground operation we did see some seventy f

ceasefire could be on the cards to support for the proposal that would seek to keep egypt the united states and russia broker spontaneous peace plans but we're not hearing the same kind of commitment from the side of the ground both the israelis as well as i must say that they're only paid to lay down arms if the other side doesn't as well and we're not hearing insurances from either side that this will happen so he will be hearing from the masses that it will stop firing rockets on israel if the jewish state in that's the blockade that he has placed on gaza for several years now and stops with these assassinations where you talk about the increase in civilian casualties and assassinations as well paula of course as you and i both know prime minister netanyahu has already said that israel is very ready to expand the operation as it looked like a ground assault is about to be launched i know there are tens of thousands of troops that have been amassing along the gaza border. well actually his weekly cabinet meeting on sunday morning the israeli prime minister netanyahu did say that he was ready to sign

far beyond where we were at the height of the cold war where it was just the united states and russiaway ahead >> you worry about rogue states, of course. you worry about terrorists. you worry about accidents. have you a movie "countdown to zero" which makes this argument in a really compelling way, and it telling the story of one russian man who actually tried to sell nuclear material to al qaeda. >> yes. >> the vignette of that was rather a low level worker in a uranium plant in the former soviet union, and he knew that by taking -- he could secrete very small amounts of highly enriched uranium, and he had a buyer that was a representative al qaeda, and the whole reason that he wanted to sell that was so that he could get a refrigerator. i mean, for him that was what -- that's all it was to him, a means to, you know, make his personal life a little better. >> queen noor, when you look at this and say you want the u.s. to lead the way and russia to lead the way in reducing nuclear arsenals. the counterargument is wait a minute all the bad actors in the world are racing towards more n

the united states and russia or is israel going to give them up?isten, this was first thought about in many speeches made by president ronald reagan back in the early 1980s. he made these beautiful eloquent speeches about it. this was his dream. he didn't accomplish it. there was a big summit where he was meeting with the president of russia gorbachev and so this was his dream and now we cut to today where president obama is pickling up the mantel and one of his first speech, the first in prague, he made a big speech about the elimination of nuclear weapons. in his first term, he accomplished passing the new start treaty. i do believe this is a passion of the president's, president obama's. there's a lot of things, he has a nuclear summit meeting in d.c. which pledged the elimination of nuclear weapons. >> cenk: they did this treaty and made progress. that's great news. i am curious really, like is zero possible? >> it absolutely is possible. again, to go back about five years ago they called the four states, they used to call the four mothersman,

and we do have floors to pretend to provide safety for all children and we will do so as every normal state the united states russia and every state in your would do every father and every mother would do well alex first of all we have talked about the israelis who died we just said there are six israelis who died but i mean the proportionality is so extreme and you just said that you didn't target this building you just targeted something on top i mean i.d.f. spokesperson in a video even admitted quote we obviously knew there were journalists in the building we were just showing as you were talking extensive damage to that media house the journalist tower one person's leg was actually blown off eight people injured so to say that no people were injured in that attack is completely erroneous but you know you're talking about using force alex i mean the proportionality is just so extreme it's just you know one hundred sixty six palestinians dead but let's talk about palestinian statehood which is coming out a big once again this year why when you say that all you guys want to peace and you don't want to harm anyone

the international stage and international issues like syria of course that's been creating a deadlock at the united nations security council between russia and the united states so there are kind of issues which could also both help improve the relations in the next four years and it could also help ruin the relations and i'm talking about issues like the arena nuclear program a lot really depends on how both moscow and washington may decide to deal and work together on this matter to. help resolve the crisis around the iranian nuclear program so of course have to see was at least he would first becomes the next president of the united states it should be more positive for russia perhaps if mr obama does manage to win a second term in office than if governor romney comes to power but like i said it's still quite a controversial issue since well it's really two sided on what should be expected well you go and i can tell you now for sure that president obama will be coming back for a second term so will be quite closely to see how his relations with our the russian government to we'll continue. to have more live reports and analysis over the next few hours from

called "world energy outlook" and in this report is summarized -- as summarized by reuters, the united states, according to their estimates, will overtake saudi arabia and russia as the world's top oil producer by 02017. beneficiary by 2017. the i.e.a. chief economist told a news conference in london that he believed the united states would overtake russia as the biggest gas producer by a significant margin by 2015 and by 2017 would become the world's largest oil producer producer. will this prediction hold out? i don't know. but are we on our way towards significant gains in terms of our energy independence? yes, we are. the language in section 313, which this amendment proposes to strike -- i want to be very clear about this -- does not affect programs that have been discussed here in such areas as hydrogen fuel as a fuel of choice for engine design or doing away with r&d dollars. it is just not true. it states in part that this restriction goes to the cost of producing or purchasing alter national fuels if they exceed the cost of producing traditional fossil fuel that would be used for the same purpose -- that's very narrowly defined. there is a second para

and with russia joining the w.t.o. in august, we have a problem here in the united states. and that is russia in doing so made tariff cuts for every country in the world except the united states. this bill would correct that. of course without this legislation, exporters here in the united states would lose. i never viewed jackson-vanik as an impediment to russia relations today, but neither do i see it as very helpful in pressing russia on issues like iran or their conduct towards syria. russian opposition level leaders, however, and russian civil society, and the russian press, what free press remains in russia today really support this legislation. and i think what this legislation intends is sort of a mutually beneficial relationship with russia based on a rule of law. based on human rights. that's the hope. it includes the sergei magnitsky legislation that came out of the foreign affairs committee of which i am an original co-sponsor, and i do think we owe a debt of gratitude to chairman ros-lehtinen for her determination to have that provision in the legislation. and i

but a change of pace now and an experience to astronaut crew presenting the united states russia and japan has just landed back on earth in kazakhstan aboard the so use capsule today yuri malenchenko suni williams and that he was cheating to finish their four month mission to the international space station let's go live now to a correspondent sean thomas. in star city he's been following the capsule returned to show in the soyuz capsules just landed as we said the cold weather and thick snow on the ground that have a bearing on its landing. certainly we're getting images of the crew now they have been recovered and it is snowing on the ground in fact they're wrapped in heavy blankets and it's always an exciting moment here in mission control when we get those first images of the crew coming out of the capsule i can say that soyuz t.m.a. zero five am has landed safely and it has brought with it the s.s. expedition thirty three crew with them sunny williams from the usa actually push it out from japan and europe go from russia now. making it from space to earth is inexact science but

we bought naval forces from the united states, from russia and japan all to honolulu where we had simulated a tsunami disaster. and these three great nations brought their fleets to honolulu exercising how to respond and alleviate that disaster. well, that was then. how about now? last year the united states released a new security strategy. most of you probably have not even heard of that, but i have to tell you this was a big deal. it was one of the fifth american security strategies that we have issued since the civil war. among the highlights of that security strategy was a strong statement that the united states had the highest economic and security interests in the asia pacific region. not in europe as has been for 100 years prior to that, than the asia pacific region. secondly, that we would maintain freedom of access throughout that region. in particular, we would maintain the sea lanes in that area, whatever the challenge might be. even as we reduce our defense budget, therefore we must maintain and would maintain a powerful navy, and that that navy would be charged with maintainin

other trying to appeal to the american nationalist sentiment and at the same time the united states government was angry that china and russia unlike in the case of libya refused to go along with the american plans to overthrow the government in syria so there's a lot of pressure on china that in order to have an engagement that's that's that's stable that the united states must have preeminence in other parts of the world like the middle east but china is aware now after libya that completely appeasing the american foreign policy designs is in fact threatening china because once the regime change ball gets rolling right it just keeps growing and so i think the chinese have recalibrated their foreign policy especially because of the lessons learned in libya and in the middle east you know the the you need let me tell you in san francisco it's very interesting the chinese and the russians just watch the americans the story themselves all over the world with their allies along with it you know i'm sure a city in beijing from now they want to go there really and the chinese should stay out of it ok just keep expanding their eco
