as a hyperpower. one million soviet jews were immigrating to the united states -- to israel. israel emerged all of a sudden in the perception as a very powerful nation. the arab world and the palestinians lost legitimacy when they supported saddam hussein in some of the weakest moments. if you believe that at the core of the conflict lies the continued denial of the arab world that the jewish people have a right to self-determination, have a real claim and an attachment to the lands, if you believe this is at the core of the conflict, then peace can only emerge when the arab world despairs of the possibility that the jewish people can somehow be made to go away. so, that is the moment of parity. the moment when the notion that the jewish people are here to stay, then you have an opening for peace. so, my analysis is exactly the opposite of the swedish foreign minister. and the thing is, if you begin to have different analysis of why there is no peace, you begin to create a diplomatic arms race where every side is trying to convince that they should be strengthens for the cause of peace. that is not helpful, which is why i say if you want to be helpf

a pedestrian being killed every two hours in the united states. for the first time this year, the national safety council listed distracted walking as a category innjury report. the governor's highway safety association is even using a new name for people who text and walk borrowed from the website urban dictionary -- >> pehextrian. >> i think the accidents will go up. people can fall into pot holes, run into cars, have all kinds of accidents just from looking at their cell phone instead of looking around them. >> a man in california walked off a cliff last week because his eyes were on a device and not on the deep drop to sharp rocks below and in november eight pedestrians in new york were killed in one week. officials said then people need to be more careful. you have to be alert when you walk the busy streets of new york. we all do, we all have a role to play. >> several people we saw looking down at their phones say there are no big plans to do anything differently in 2016. >> probably going to still look at the phone and cross the street. >> i worst i think will happen normally around here is you run into somebody else. you don't have to wor

[laughter] i have been repeatedly stated during last couple of years that i come as secretary-general of the united nations, i have a full agenda. .. yesterday the president of the general assembly and the president of the security council sent letter to member-states to present their candidates for the next successor, for the next secretary-general. ask your thoughts on this unprecedented procedure. >> would you speak up? >> yes. could you tell us your thought on the unprecedented procedure to choose the next project tear general. also if you have any message to these candidates, thank you. >> i have seen, i have seen that the letter, it was expected because member-states have been actually discussing this issue, how to make selection process of my successor more transparent, more transparent. this initiative has far as i believe, and i think there is a wide, widely shared consensus this is a good initiative. i would like to see that the way this letter, i hope, member-states will expedite their process to select the next secretary-general as soon as possible. on very transparent manner. that is my, my wish. my wis

as a hyperpower. one million soviet jews were immigrating to the united states -- to israel. israel emerged all of a sudden in the perception as a very powerful nation. the arab world and the palestinians lost legitimacy when they supported saddam hussein in some of the weakest moments. if you believe that at the core of the conflict lies the continued denial of the arab world that the jewish people have a right to self-determination, have a real claim and an attachment to the lands, if you believe this is at the core of the conflict, then peace can only emerge when the arab world despairs of the possibility that the jewish people can somehow be made to go away. so, that is the moment of parity. the moment when the notion that the jewish people are here to stay, then you have an opening for peace. so, my analysis is exactly the opposite of the swedish foreign minister. and the thing is, if you begin to have different analysis of why there is no peace, you begin to create a diplomatic arms race where every side is trying to convince that they should be strengthens for the cause of peace. that is not helpful, which is why i say if you want to be helpf

there's a video or not, the ultimate point is that our own national security experts think it helps isis to divide the united states asntry at war with islam and george w bush made this point himself when he said after 9/11 -- >> sure, but bill, is it not fair to say, okay, donald trump's rhetoric notwithstanding, which do you think has created more terrorists? what donald trump has said or hillary clinton's military actions in libya or the war in iraq that hillary clinton voted for? which do you think created more terrorism? >> i don't think you could actually enumerate. >> probably could. >> the notion that donald trump's rhetoric is dangerous is a fact. whether or not they are making videos now or using them later, what he is saying is dangerous, he should not be anywhere close to the button. the whole point about donald trump, it doesn't matter. voters are so angry that he can say what he wants to about keeping muslims out of the country and his supporters are driven by their anger at a system that as the economy gets better their life is getting worse. and his words have consequences and i think that's worth noti

united states has a long tradition of private investors founding social causes, encouraged by a system of tax breaks. as a result this country spends less of its budget on social programs. >> the downside according to the national committee is that billionaires, not elected officials decide social policy. >> what we see in certain fields is billionaire phil an throughists can control public requirements and spending by what the philanthropy is willing to support. >> reporter: few change the billionaire phillan tropist, there's a call for public input into their work. >> updates on the news is a click away. visit the website. aljazeera.com. >> the worst mass shooting in america since newtown. 14 killed at a conference center in san bernadino in california. the suspect shooters, man and woman are dead. >> welcome to a special edition of "your world", this morning. i'm stephanie sy. >> i'm del walters. those would are the only two, they are identified as 28-year-old ed

united states on a fiancee visa before getting her green card. she reportedly passed three background checks as she emigrated to the united states from pakistan. first, dhs checked her name against the american law enforcement and national security databases. then the state department used her fingerprints to do a criminal background check. finally, when she was applying for a lawful permanent and resident status, dhs checked her out again. she cleared each check. no red flags were raised. but it was pretty clear now looking back that it was well known among her friends and family that she supported violent jihad against the united states. it's being report this had morning, i think it's msnbc, that as early as 2011, homeland security was preparing to check social media and yet homeland security decided that was a bad idea. almost every story i've ever heard read is about -- even the president has made comments about terrorists who are really good at using social media. and back in 2011 when homeland security was thinking about using social media, the decision at homeland security was, bad idea. they made the wrong call. they made the really wrong call. it is unclear what dhs will actually do when it encounters fraud vi

united states. trump has gained an all-time high in a recent national poll. ascriticized the obama administration's wars in the middle east tuesday night, trump was interrupted by protester kai newkirk, who decried billionaire politicians. >> in my opinion -- [indiscernible] trillione spent $4 dollars trying to topple various people that frankly, if they were there and we could have spent that $4 trillion in the u.s. to fix roads, bridges and other problems, airports and other problems we have, we would have been a lot better off. governor jeblorida bush, who has been trailing in the polls, took aim at trump's proposals, including his proposal to ban muslim immigrants. >> this is not a serious proposal and it will push the arab world away from us at a time when we need to reengage with them to create a strategy to destroy isis. donald is great at one liners but he's a chaos candidate and he would be a chaos president. he would not be the commander-in-chief we need. amy: much of the debate focused on national security, with candidates pushing for increasing the s
