what do you think the responsibility of great powers like the united states should be to places like that? >> i think that what we should do, the united states should do, is work with government in africa to help them build sus stanleyable schools, to help them build their own smoke, because the problem in africa is that after the era, lots of countries never had had a chance to reach their full potential because the interest of the rich country always come before continent. >> so in that way, do they have a responsibility? do they owe something to the continent? >> i think everybody 0s something to the continent. every single rich lot. >> make that -- >> starting -- >> some people here would say the united states government doesn't do enough to invest in education in this country. make the argument why should the united states do more to fortify education in ? >> because the security of the united states is at stake as much as the democrats in the world. if we do not invest in the education in this country and all of the people are i don't meaning up, we are giving power to al-qaeda,

one of the things you said was that the united states cannot be a problem solver for the united states. where do you differ from the president? in syria? >> i think be key there is "vetted." i do not know how they're going to determine who are people we can work with going forward. i think if there is a way to foretell if these people will indeed be strong proponents of human rights and good friends of ours, that will be people that will do the things responsible leaders and nations to, then sure. i think we have the ability to train. we have a good track record of that at being able to train and tell people to defend themselves. we have not had a good track record of deposing leaders and replacing other leaders in their place. >> jim michaels? >> if i could just follow on that. if the u.s. is not going to find an effective way to support the modern rebels, then what can the united states do to try to mitigate or solve that crisis there? >> you know, like i said, we have not had a good track record in this area in that part of the world since the carter regime that i can recall. i think that we

do over the past several years. there are options, short of airstrikes the united states could do and it is not clear if the politicalns in iraq are contingent on the options. that could be an increase in intelligence or sending heave weapons to the iraqis which is dangerous when you put heavy weapons in a situation so unstable. >> without envision if there is no political reconciliation and when you talk about it with chairman rogers he makes it clear how impossible that is, could you see the president backing off and still getting involved in the absence of that? >> in terms of airstrikes it could be difficult if we going to go by the ground rules he laid out on friday out of political process because you have essentially either limited air strikes that may not achieve anything or an open-ended commitment in a country with no political basis if a future. >> i want to play a couple of clips of rebound from just to week which show how quickly he was forced to pivot in temperature of his view of the situation around the world. take a look. >> world is less violent than it has ever been. it is healthy than it has ever

one of the things you said was that the united states cannot be a problem solver for the united states. where do you differ from the president? close to the president a year ago now that i did not think we should be, he was talking at the time about going into syria. shouldot think we venture into another war. we cannot of rock. -- we came out of a rack. we lost the opportunities that we had -- we came out of iraq. we lost the opportunities that we had gained in the war. i am concerned about afghanistan. we still have upwards of 30,000 troops there. i know we are on a pad to bring them out by the end of the year and things looked to be progressing there, but at the time when he was first talking about going into serious, things were not so rosy. i thought we're cutting a trillion dollars out of our defense. we should not be asking them to carry out more missions wherever they think they can be helpful around the world. you cannot cut their ability and keep asking them to do more. chairman, the leaders over at the pentagon have been critical of the defense bill that your committee and that the ho

i tell you from my heart that we in the united states do not want war. ofwant to wipe from the face the earth a terrible weapon that man now has in his hands. we are ready to seize that be beachhead.that we look for some sign from the soviet union that they share our desire and love for peace and will give up the ways of conquest. there must be a change that will allow us to turn our hope into action. we will pray forever that someday that changing will come. but for now, particularly today, it is good and fitting to renew our commitment to each other, to our freedom, and to the alliance that protects it. we are bound today by what bound us 40 years ago, the same loyalties, traditions, and beliefs. we are bound by reality. the strength of america's allies is vital to the united states and the american security guarantee is essential to the continued freedom of europe's democracies. we were with you then. we are with you now. your hopes are our hopes. your destiny is our destiny. here in this place where the west held together, let us make a vow to our de

do what's right for the iraqi people. and that's a challenge. that's not something that the united states can do for them. that's not something, by the way, that the united states armed forces can do for them. we can provide them the space. we can provide them the tools. but ultimately, they're going to have to make those decisions. in the meantime, my job is to make sure that american personnel there are safe, that we are consulting with the iraqi security forces, that we're getting a better assessment of what's on the ground and that we're recognizing the dangers of isil over the long-term and developing the kinds of= comprehensive counterterrorism strategy we're going to need to deal with this issue. and that's going to involve some short-term responses to make sure that isil is not obtaining capacity to endanger us directly or our allies and partners, but it also is going to require some long-term strategies, as well. because part of what we've seen with respect to isil is a broader trend that i talked about at west point, a -- rather than a&trz single network, a discreet network of terrorists. this fl

if so, what can the united states do about it? more importantly what should the u.s. do about it.we'll talk to the former bush administration official about the dire situation. also it is said that one man's trash is another man's treasure. we'll show you proof of that coming up on al jazeera america. >> iraq's most senior shia cleric called on answer iraqis to help defend the country from insurgents. fighters led by the islamist group isil, and the rebels advancing on the capitol leaving iraq's government desperate for help. president obama said no american troops will be deployed. >> now iraq needs additional support to break the momentum of extremist groups and bolster the capabilities of iraqi security forces. we will not be sending u.s. troops into combat into iraq, but i have asked my national security team to prepare a range of other options that could help support iraq security forces, and i'll be reviewing those options in the day ahead. >> prime minister nouri al-maliki. >> i'm certainly not surprised that iraq is flaring up again. in fact, people who have been watching

united states. the getting back to the issue of, what does the united states do? i think u.s.olicy right now is to give weapons and it is a minimal amount, rightly or wrongly, the obama administration views iraq and syria as conflicts that it should avoid getting deeply involved in. it does not want a repeat of 2003 and the iraq experience. the danger in doing nothing, though, is that you have this very lent extremism emerge that could destabilize the world -- virulent extremism emerge that could destabilize the world. the iraq use do want american involved because of the military assets. if that is the way the united states decides to go, it should also have a corresponding program to promote moderation, to promote western values so you have checks and balances from a functioning judiciary, so the security forces don't torture people which breeds extremism and strengthens al qaeda-types. >> ned parker, be safe as you go back to iraq and in the baghdad bureau chief of reuters. mohammed al dulaimy, thank you so much for honoring us with this first broadcast that you're willing

now they do to them. >> in texas they are running into their arms, i'm here. >> help me. >> hi, here is my permission slip or here is the piece of paper with their contact from the united statesnite with my friends or family? they know what they're doing. they want a better standard of living for themselves. some of them do and others maybe have other motives. they get the green light and they are acting on it and it's our government's fault. >> the dream act certainly spurred that on. and i think we all know what's happening. now, in the cantor situation, you said that immigration doomed him. i'm not sure that's true. and i point to lindsey graham who had, you know, even softer approach than eric cantor did to the immigration problem. >> yeah. he won pretty handedly. >> i would say, bill, i was down there. would had 625 people on a tuesday night right before the election. the week before the election at eric cantor's own country club. people were hanging off the rafters. the entire focus of the campaign, especially in the closing weeks, was on the standard of living of americans. the issue that you have been hammering about america in decline. people don't have any hope. oka

united states they're new to the function u.s. because it's in russia's interests to start being state in in the countries in the region russia or iran the united states do funnily enough pretty urgent common in. distance station productive without the united states first reversing its policy stance and serious. abandoning it seems like that goal of ousting the sat is kind of falling by the wayside now. the u.s. needs to recalibrate its policy but it's a very complicated situation well professor of and we have to take a very short break now but when we come back normalizing russian years relations will most likely have to wait until a new president moves into the white house but even then and now the reset stand a chance that one will depart. will say to hell with this awful american clearly. your politics. are. welcome back to worlds apart the rear discussing the ever changing yet always same nature of russian u.s. relations with bitter rival and professor of government is generally accepted that the republicans are more hawkish on russia than darker i think if he is took place mainly under republican presidents i mean nikita khrushchev around the white

what county united states do or what should the united states be doing to help this marine get fast tracked the judicial system because it was an accidental turn into mexico? >> we should be doing and i assume we are, i'm not there so i can't speak directly to it but we should be doing or i can tell you what i would be doing, burning up the telephone woirs. sending, you know, eni haveenvos not just ambassador talking to the mexican officials making it clear that this is really important to us. we work with our counterparts, our friends in mexico on a lot of issues, obviously it's something that is in our interest to do it as it is in theirs. when this kind of action happens and somebody who as you say made an accident turn who is serving our country ends up in a prison that is unacceptable. >> woo expect if you were still secretary of state made a phone call that they would get on immediately. >> not sure it would be only one phone call. >> we have enough diplomatic muscle with mexico it doesn'ted me need to drag on that long. >> i don't knows specifications i expect everything is being don

united states for once beloved why don't want to be the ramifications of its own policies why should russia or any other country paul break with the united states. because it's in russia's interest to do so not because they want to be nice to to the us but because the the meltdown of the state in iraq. is bad news for all the same. united states do funnily enough have a pretty urgent common interest in stabilizing the situation. welcome back to the show without the middle east is looking increasingly unstable and that probably means that the price of oil is going to go up to actually way up but given how important carbon based energy is to our economy how realistic are alternative forms of energy to replacing carbon energy to discuss more about this issue and what the future holds i spoke with richard heinberg a senior fellow at the post carbon institute and an expert on energy issues now i first asked him what if we have reached peak oil supplies and what alternative forms of energy are really out there truly here's what he had to say. well there are lots of them. you know there's a long list everything from nuclear to solar and wind and hydro power and geothermal tidal power wave po

i guess my first question is simple: what could or should the united states do next here? >> our main goal right now is to protect the embassy and the americans we have there. and the president has every right and the responsibility to do that. i'm fine with that. do whatever it takes to protect our people our embassy. and the bottom line is to make sure they are safe and secure. i believe the president has to come back to congress and should come back to congress and there is no appetite for us to get boots on the ground and get back into that country anyway shape or form >> schieffer: but what do we do about isis? this group of terrorists? are you one of those that believes that they actually constitute a threat to the u.s. homeland if they are allowed to stay there? >> well, knowing that their intent what they have stated if you let them grow and breed and be able to have a training ground, absolutely. but we have shown the ability we can strike from afar. we don't have to be in the country if you will or occupation. and that what i believe and a lot of my fellow senator

do you think is the next step? >> well in the immediate term, really the only option the united states has right now is do you use airer or do you not use air power? that's the only thing that's going to impact the immediate crisis. in the longer term, we can talk about more training, better intelligence sharing, speeding up the flow of weapons, but none of that is going to help in the next week. >> and moving forward, we heard the president two days ago call on maliki to do what's right to reconcile, but to consider his history of simply consolidating and avoiding reconciliation, is he the right person to move forward, even if the immediate term? >> well, interestingly, i don't think the president did use prime minister maliki's name. that's the larger point i'm trying to bring out. it's easy to put the blame on prime minister maliki. he has been dealing with a low level insurgency for the last three years dealing with a sunni minority that hasn't fully come to terms with the fact that it is a minority and not going to be in power like it was back in saddam's days. that's not to say maliki has handled this situation

. >> what more can the united states do that could be effective to bring about a regional political solution? >> i think that is a tall order at this point, a regional solution. the united states is very much concentrated on iraq at the moment. advisers, special forces are arriving. presumably they are in the business of coordinating intelligence information with their iraq he hosts, and developing potential targets on the ground. beyond that, there is obviously a very important political dimension in iraq and that revolves around the prime minister. i'm not goingsaid to form an emergency government, so somebody is going to have to put pressure on him. >> i suspect the united states is applying a degree of pressure, although secretary of state kerry has been very careful to say that the iraq he political ross says on to produce the requisite result. cleary -- clearly nouri al-maliki is not part of the solution. >> is there any way tehran could be persuaded to put pressure on the leaky as well? their ownnians have interest here and they have a decision to make whether to double down on maliki

side of the rotunda, literally at the exact same time, the united states senate perhaps sensing that nobody was noticing what they were doing the united states senate seized their moment out of the spotlight today to actually do something. this was the big bipartisan compromise bill to rye to reform the v.a., to open up more than two dozen new health facilities to serve veterans and to try to hire enough doctors and other professionals into the v.a. to actually meet the demand for veteran services instead of some company cooking the books to try to make it look like they were meeting veteran needs when they really weren't. senator bernie sanders of vermont shares veteran affairs and had introduced another version of this bill in february, the republicans filibustered it. but today the bill senator sanders worked out with john mccain, it not only got fastracked into a senate floor vote, it passed. it passed hugely, it passed 93-3. only three senators voted against it. the house voted unanimously, yesterday, on their own version of a v.a. bill. now that some kind of bill has passed both houses of congress, they're going to go

symbolic of the many migrants who have died in their attempts to cross the border into the united states doing so without papers, without authorization. as we know from -- as you may know and the media has told us, the number of migrant fatalities are increasing, and i think this year there were 400. it's basically taken from the words of migrants who often described their successful journey as a miracle. >> how did those 400 die? >> causes range from being killed by a smuggler to suffocating in the back of a car to pick trixie asian to drowning many died in the desert not being able to reach food or water and get left behind. not really. many of the migrants who traveled here without papers are uncertain about their journey. and so it is organized increasingly by multiple coyotes and has become much more organized. much more difficult for migrants to rely, for example, on a single person that they may know who has migration experiences take them across the border. as the borders become heavily militarized and there has been more campaigns along the border to prevent migration, it means that m

department of justice and other officials in the united states. do you think that the fine in the end will be as high as $10 billion or will b.n.p. be able to negotiate that down? >> all of the figures are speculation. we do not have any official figure. these are figures that are reflected by the u.s. press. generally what happens is that there is a negotiation between the prosecutors and the banks. and at some stage they agree on a certain number of things to settle the case rather than going to the courts to settle the case with an acknowledgment f -- if they plead guilty what the u.s. authorities want is that now banks plead guilty, settle the case and pay any amount that they would negotiate. i am unable at this stage to tell you if it is this figure. but the fact that the figure is mentioned by the press, i am not sure from a political point of view. >> it may not end up at $10 billion that. is what huare saying? >> yes. > thank you very much. >> let's return to news from ukraine. government forces there have been locked in fierce fighting with

program who have complained about the fact that the united states has not done enough to help these journalists, and what else can the united states do now to try to help them? >> i think that the united states have spoken out strongly not only for our journalists, but others being held in egypt. it's the edge of the spear, this is an attempt to criminalize journalism. not to criminalize descent, a lot of them are not in jail for descent, but they're in jail because they didn't tow the party line or speak the way they were told to speak. by criminalizing journalism, egypt goes down a dark path, trying to take the middle east back to where it was 20 years in the past. and i think that the international community recognizes that and that's why so many countries, britain and australia and clearly the united states have spoken out so forcefully in defense of our jump lifts. >> i know that you've been asked this question before. but let's get into it. the larger question in the political play is that egypt has accused qatar of supporting the muslim brotherhood, and they are part of the aljazeera network and aljazeera america, this network
