if you look at prime minister netanyahu right now, number one, he has an interest in showing he's not partisan in the united states. it's not been a republican or democratic issue, it's an american thing. >> it changed this year. >> it has the feeling of changing this year. he has an interest of counteracting that, number one, and because you have real troubles right now in israel, i think this is a time when he wants the united states being seen as being with israel and also mending fences and not compounding things. >> most people, yourself says, a two state solution is not entirely likely with abbas and netanyahu. >> i don't have a high expectation of going from where we are to resolving the conflict, a big initiative that's bound to fail. i think for me, one of the things that's concerned me for the last three or four years has been the growing level of disbelief between both the israeli and the palestinian publi publicize. pliks. publics. when the anger and fear right now is at a high pitch the idea that can you go from that and solve the conflict strikes me as simply being illusory. the worst thing we can do

david ariosto has the story. >> on my orders the united states military has begun strikes against the al qaeda terrorist training camps and military installations of the taliban regime in afghanistan. >> fall 2001. u.s. forces descend on afghanistan. their mission: dismantle al qaeda. order air strikes and link up with afghan fighters to drive the taliban from power. within weeks taliban positions crumble. and by november, the last taliban stronghold in the north, a city called kunduz, is under siege. as truckloads of u.s. backed northern alliance fighters barrel to the north, convoys of taliban defectors are seeing fleeing the city, pledging new loyalties. >> translator: in the future i will never take up a gun again because this gun and all this fighting has created disaster for our country. >> reporter: but fast-forward 14 years. despite blood, the loss of more than 2300 american lives, and 26,000 civilians, and treasure, nearly $1 trillion in u.s. spending, there are new signs that the prospects for peace may have already come and gone. the city of kunduz again fell to the taliban

the united states has such a program in place since 1979. it conducts these operations globally not just against countries like china with which the united states has some friction, but also with its allies like the philippines, and some of its security partners and other claimants in the south china sea like malaysia, taiwan and vietnam. i think the united states is hoping that china will lower tensions, that it will reconsider its rapid land reclamation, it's construction, it's militarization of the south china sea, and engage in more diplomacy to lower tensions with its neighbors. >> isn't there a danger that the opposite could be true? we don't know yet what the response is going to be practically from china. what do you think it's going to be? >> well, my guess is that the chinese will claim that the united states has militarized the china sees first and china is reacting. but the reality is that china has been militarizing the south china seas for a number of yea years. other claimants have as well. china is not the only country that ha

laura: how about candidates' relationship with the united states? has has been brought up in the campaign? rajini: of course the two countries are neighbors and allies when you look at things the coalition against i.s. in syria and iraq. it's plain and simple that president obama and prime minister harper are not the best of friends. and one political commentator likened it to a couple having a fight. one of those is over the keystone x.l. pipeline which would send canadian oil to the u.s. now, today justin said he wants to improve the relationship between the two countries and bring up talks again about keystone which was something that of course president obama vetoed. laura: rajini, thanks for joining us. it's 43 years since man last walked on the moon. since then living there has been the stuff of fantasy. but it may be a step closer to a reality. they plan to land on an unexplored area of the moon laying the groundwork to what could be a permanent settlement there. we've been given exclusive details about lunar 27 which is set for takeoff in five y

the united states has joined japan and india in a week of naval exercises. the pentagon is taking pains to say that the exercise exercises are not aimed at any one particular country. but let's not kid ourselves. these moves send a contemplated message to china with regional power and territorial ambitions of its own on the high sees. there is quote navigation. the chinese are building artificial islands on reefs in the south china sea. a key choke point in southeast asia. they're being built on a chain known as the spratley islands. i'll show you better later on. 500 miles away from the chinese coast line. according to international law jurisdiction over territorial waters extend only the 12 naught tall miles from its shores. countries do have a right to claim resources like oil, gas, or fisheries as much as 350 miles off it's shores. this is the area that the philippines claim and the area claimed by vietnam. but this is the area that is claimed by china. marked here with the broken red lines and it extends much farther than the 350 miles. the u.s. fears t

united states. and for this year, the president has determined we should bring 85,000, including at least 10,000 syrianswe recognize that admitting more syrian refugees to the united states is only part of the solution. but it is in keeping with our american tradition. it shows the world that we seek to provide refuge for those most in need. it sets an example for others to follow and adds the diversity and strengs of american society. i have been up on the hill a couple times recently, and have been getting a lot of questions about the process that we use to bring refugees here. they're referred by the u.n. hcr. we work very carefully to have them tell their stories. no one comes who hasn't been approved by department of homeland security. and leon rodriguez and i are here to answer any questions you have about the process, but it generally lasts 18 to 24 months, and we take very seriously the need to secure our borders as part of that program. in conclusion, the vast majority of refugees of the 3 million who have been admitted to the united states, including from some of the most troubled regions in t

do you expect the paris agreement will obligate the united states to meet an emissions target that goes beyond what the united states has already pledged? >> no, i don't, senator. >> and another big ask from republicans is enforcement should not be left up to the united nations, that black helicopters shouldn't pounce on the united states if commitments are not met. do you expect the paris agreement will include compliance penalties, sanctions or other external enforcement on the united states? and i think the key word there is other external enforcement on the united states. >> that's not part of the discussion, no. >> and republicans have long decried any international agreements on climate change that do not conclude meaningful action on climate change from developing countries. do you enviesion the paris agreement will include meaningful commitments from developing countries? >> absolutely. >> and since i think you're at about the estimate now is about 150 countries, so obviously many developing countries. in your opinion, is it a significant commitment that these developing countries are making in terms of trying t

tony, they say it is going to be modeled in what the united states has done in helping the syrian kurds. >> yeah, i'm afraid the administration needs to endure a little more pain over this program. we're talking $500 million. i don't know how was spent, but what was the main criticism of the program? the idea of the implementation? >> reporter: again, it was completely ineffectual. you could recruit these individuals and train them to exclusively fight isil forces, in other words to carry the fight against this group that the united states has deemed a terrorist organization, and so it simply didn't work, because many of these individuals were not motivated to do that. they wanted to fight the assault regime. and many of the individuals who were trained and fielded ended up in fights with other groups fighting the assault regime, like al-nusra. got beaten up rather badly by al-nus al-nusra. surrendered some of their weapons, and that's why they are reduced to the four or five. >> yeah, it's a total embarrassment. >>> russia says it has killed at least 200 fighters in its latest strikes

the united states has taken a strong military action to take out issa leaders that are operating inside of syria. this has placed enormous strain on the leaders of that organization. the united states has worked effectively to partner with syrian kurds on the ground inside of syria to drive isil out of portions of the country. there is no denying there is important progress the needs to be done. there is no denying as well the fact that we have made important progress against our principal goal, which is destroying isil. you are not on the process of kurd point ofe view. josh earnest: i'm not in a position to confirm any operational plans that may or may not be in the works. i will say that those plan site continued support for syrian arabsh and syrian ai fighters. there has been a variety of support provided by the united last six months to syrian kurdish and syrian arab fighters. one example of that was the president made a decision to resupply syrian kurdish fighters in the town of kobani. a resupplying the syrian kurdish fighters, they did not just succeed in defending the town sil

united states. the asia pacific region is critical for our nation's economic future. for decades this region has remained free from major conflicts alas vegas the united states and other nations, including china to enjoy the benefits of its vast spaces. however, the security environment is changing. potentially placing the stability at risk. rapid economic and military modernization and a growing demand for resources have increased the potential for conflict. freedom of navigation is under pressure. if not handled properly, territorial and maritime disputes could disrupt stability throughout the region. claimants to disputed areas use maritime law enforcement and coast guard vessels to enforce their claims while nominally keeping the issues out of the military speer. the united states does not take sides on issues of sovereignty with respect to the disputes, but we do insist that all maritime claims be derived from naturally formed land features in accordance with customary international law as reflected in the law of the sea convention. the united states also emphasizes the importance of peacef

this is a unique capacity that the united states has in this effort and it will be used in support of the ongoing regional counter extremist efforts ongoing there. >>reporter: the president had to write to congress to let them know that this deployment was underway. he said in the letter under the war powers act that it was open ended. they will be there as long as they're required. but clearly he'd like to see regional efforts being stepped up against boko haram and the fight being take on the the group by the countries in the area. >> sweden has a long history of accepting refugees but some syrians who have fled war have received a cold welcome. >>> and police in new york accused of spying on muslims. >> "inside story" takes you beyond the headlines, beyond the quick cuts, beyond the soundbites. we're giving you a deeper dive into the stories that are making our world what it is. >>> good to have you with us. these are the top stories on al jazeera. palestinian president is calling for international intervention following another day of violence. on wednesday israeli forces shot dea

so what the united states role has been has simply been to allow israel to do whatever it wants to do. if the united states wants to play a positive role it can start joining on to the boycott divestment scheme rather than giving israel carte blanche to do whatever it wants. >> to defense israel and are its allybe itsally, what other solue there on the table? >> start pushing israel to finally allow palestinians to live in the freedom and dignity that they deserve. this is done to push against israel, holding it accountable under international law, apart from that, i don't think there is anything else that it can do to be positive. >> thank you for joining us. >> replmy pleasure. >> a former deputy spokesman for israel's ministry of foreign affairs and he is once against again in our studio, shahar, welcome to the studio. >> i wish under other circumstances. can i say something, linning to diana, building walls not bribltion, thbridges, how diffit have been for her to say it's not okay to stab 78-year-old women. then we would have seen hope building between israelis and palestinians.

do you expect the paris agreement will obligate the united states to meet an emissions target that goes beyond what the united states has already pledged? >> no i don't, senator. >> and another big ask is that enforcement should not be left up to the united nations. do you expect the paris agreement will include compliance penalties, sanctions or other external enforcement on the united states? and i think the key word there is other external enforcement on the united states. >> that's not part of the discussion, no. >> purchases have long decried any international agreements on climate change that do not include meaningful action from developing countries. do you envision the paris agreement will include meaningful commitments from developing countries? >> absolutely. >> and since i think you're at about the estimate now is about 150 countries, so obviously many developing countries. in your opinion, is it a significant commitment that these developing countries are making in terms of trying to tackle this difficult, difficult issue? >> yes, senator. >> so my opinion is that you've been very responsive in terms of tryi

as you know, the reason the united states has been involved in afghanistan, and this has been at the center of the president's strategy for afghanistan, is making sure that afghanistan cannot be used as a safe haven for terrorists to plots and carry out attacks across the united states and the world. an important part of accomplishing that mission is improving the security situation inside of afghanistan. and the united states continues to work closely with afghan security forces as they try provide for their own security. there are u.s. military personnel in afghanistan that are conducting counterterrorism operations that affect the american people, but also continuing to offer some training and advice to afghan security forces that are trying to secure th country. so all of that will be factored into the president's decision, but i don't have a timeline for you at this point exactly when that decision will be announced. okay? nadia? [ inaudible ] >> nadia, that is not something i can confirm at this point. there have been a number of reports in the last few months speculating about

. >> certainly not by the united states. >> has qatar ever paid money, a ransom, a concessions for the release of a hostage? >> absolutely not. absolutely not. most of the negotiation processes took a lot of time and a lot of time and effort. because we sometimes don't negotiate face-to-face to the group involved but in many cases we do it through mediator. >> as part of a regional coalition that supports fighters trying to topple the syrian regime, the qatari government has access to jabhat al curtis. >> releasing him through some sort of political price, even if the price is just keeping the channels open, is far more valuable to the leadership of that group than any sum of money they might have gotten. >> can you give us some kind of understanding of how you would do that, move from twenty million dollars to nothing for the release of somebody? >> well, it depends on how skilled the people who are involved in the negotiation process and they made it clear that they pressed a lot on the humanitarian nature of this case. >> i don't have any firsthand knowledge of what the qataris did

united states ought to be doing more? >> i was testifying on the hill last week on the subject. we're extremely grateful for what the united states hasone. they have been extremely supportive. they take a large number of asylum seekers on resettlement, we would be very grateful if they could take additional numbers, but we know they won't take numbers that will dramatically change the challenges we're facing in the region. i think we need to work together. the united states is also a major door of humanitarian assistance to the e.u. countries. i think we need to combine our pressure to make other countries step up, other arab countries -- because one of the great problems the underfunding in the refugee situation in lebanon, jordan, and turkey. the agencies are underfunded by about 60%. and we really need to try to find a solution to the syrian problem. events on the ground in syria over the last few weeks, have certainly been fuelling some of seeing. >> i understand these ar -- democracies, but from this side of the atlantic, some of the response has seemed slow, uncoordinated, bloody minded. the prime minister of hungary wouldn't l

the united states has zero. chinese airports, japanese airports, i think even cuba's now in the process of building a new deep water port to take the panamax ships. what are we doing? not much. the grow america act is totally stalled. it's not going anywhere right now. but we've got 23 days. so what are we proposing, are we proposing something that will increase the rail capacity in the united states, that will combine rail, ports and highways into a system to provide for goods movement, freight movement, integrated? no, we're not going to do such a thing. other countries do it, hey, but this is america, we just like to fall behind, so where are we with the grow america act? some of us have introduced it, some of us think we ought to do something like this, that we really ought to pay for our infrastructure. oh, by the way, this doesn't raise gas tax,

multilateraliggest trade agreement the united states has signed since 1994. given how the public's opinion of free trade has gone downhill, this achievement is a remarkable statement about political will in the face of populous pressure to put up barriers. charlie: who deserves credit? greg: barack obama. he ran centerleft of his own party. i think it also speaks to the will and other countries. -- in other countries. this is a reassertion of u.s. leadership. other countries are willing to accept such intrusions into their sovereignty to be part of the same agreement. charlie: how will china view this? juayang: china has become more moderate in his position. i think it has come around. it is open to joining. charlie: how are the markets responding? greg: it has not impacted the markets very much. as patrick was saying, it is not a huge deal. an optimistic assessment is that this will add 0.4% to u.s. gdp growth. the symbolism is far more important. for people who were worried that globalization was on its deathbed, when they see people like donald trump and be

has attained such great results in developing their country. charlie: russia had sputnik. you were there before the united states. russia has extraordinary astrophysicists and leaders in medicine and science and physics. do you hope that what you can do is restore that leadership and create the same kind of innovation that you just admired america for? and how will you do that? pres. putin: we should not lose what was created in the previous decades. we should create the very conditions for showing the potential of our people because we are a very talented people. we have a very good basis. you said that you love russian culture. i think that is a great basis for internal development. you have just mentioned are achievements in science and many other areas. we must support that. we must create conditions for people to develop freely, for them to feel confident they are able to realize their potential. i am confident that we will have an effect on the consistent development of science, high-tech technologies, and the economy in the country overall. charlie: in america, the supreme court -- there has been some contr

the consequence has been the biggest single disruption in energy markets in the united states and in the world in 30 years. so that brings me to shale 2.0. the united states has spent over the last ten years in private money about $600 billion in bailing out shale infrastructure. and we've drilled about 2 billion horizontal wealthy in hundreds of thousands of shale wells. two billion horizontal feet is a distance, if you're not doing the matt real quick, that goes around the earth 200 times. it's a lot of wealthy. but all of these activity, the money and capital, all of the drilling, the sensor information and processing has generated something more than just more oil and gas an jobs and revenue to the government. it's generated a tsunami of data. the tsunami of data comes at a time in history which is unique. we're now on the verge of profound changes in our ability to operate complex systems because of big data analytics. this wasn't the case ten years ago. in the 20th century this data set has profound interest. it's unmind. give you a sense of how big a number that is if you're pr

i think one of the things that has been a challenge in the relationship between canada and the united states is it has come in many cases, been focused on a single point of disagreement. a single potential point of disagreement. a single pipeline. and i made the point of saying much broader of the importance and the work we have to do together on issues of shared interests and issues we perhaps have disagreements on. host: as you hear canada's new prime minister, what changes between our two countries? guest: first i am going to say what you see in that clip is a very restrained, button-down justin trudeau. which is not the justin trudeau we have seen to the campaign. you have seen him on the yoga floor, you have seen him kissing babies. so what you see in front of you is a very button-down statesmanlike presentation. host: mr. trudeau's associates insist he is pragmatic above all else. guest: that is very interesting. so, pragmatism is the one thing i, as a canadian, worry about what this new government because he has seemed to make a lot of promises to a lot of people. very first sort of p

when it comes to the russians, the united states military has engaged in a handful of low-level tactical, practical conversations with the russians to the conflate our activities. i do not anticipate a scenario where the united states is coordinating our efforts with the russians, unless and until the russians are willing to make a constructive graduation to our counter isil coalition. reporter: these forces could be struck i russian airstrikes? secretary ernest: again, these forces are at risk in a very dangerous part of the world and in a dangerous country. the president has also made clear that he wants to make sure these special operators have the equipment they need to defend themselves and that is what they ask. scott. reporter: the scale of the the deployment -- can you talk about the decision-making process? secretary ernest: i think what the president -- let me step back. i said a little bit of this before, but i think it is important that this is exhibit a of how the president has been making these kinds of decisions. the president and his team are routinely accepting counter i

the united states has no grounds to be in syria. if the united states wants to involved in syria, it has to get an invitation or if they want to be a broker of peace, the united states has two bash -- guest: we are not in syria. caller: your training rebels and sending them into syria. he want to broker peace, you don't support any side. host: this is from another viewer. the response? mess. it is such a so many different pieces of the puzzle. the president's calculus has changed. is 10ms to think isis feet tall. say, are some folks who let couldn't take them on. -- let putin take them on. training fighters to take on isis and such, we are but there have been issues with that. how many fighters have we had? we have spent tens of millions of dollars. , this man seems to think we have a giant profile in syria. i would disagree. carol joining to us from texas. caller: good morning. i don't know why you get people on like that. we do have people over there fighting. we have been giving plenty of arms to saudi arabia. shipment after shipm

and would the united states have any legal authority to strike russia were it to go after moderate syrian rebels supported by the united states. the united states has said that it would go after assad's forces if it were to strike syrian rebels supported by the united states. has that position also been translated towards russia and has the pentagon communicated that? >> i'm not going to get into the details of the call itself other than to say this was a cordial and professional exchange between the two governments, between these two defense departments. with regard to the -- your second question, i'm not going to get into hypothetical situations as well. we have made clear the importance of the moderate syrian opposition in terms of syria's political future and that anything done to harm that moderate syrian opposition is counterproductive to the end result that we believe is necessary and that is a political transition in syria. this will not be solved militarily so we've made that point clear from the start and we'll continue to do so. >> prepared to defend that opposition against any commerce regardless of whether they're russian, syrian, nusr

it's certainly not an explicit partner of the united states in this battle against isis. so at least the united states hasartner, even it's not official. on the other hand, it does mean that there is a serious friend of the assad regime also present in syria, and this is undoubtedly a cause for concern for the administration. >> woodruff: well, let me turn to you, andrew weiss, more cause for concern or a cause for some satisfaction? >> i think the cause for concern here is that russia is plunging head-long into a military adventure in a part of the world where it's been absent for the better part of the last two decades. i defer to my friend steven simon on the impact on the ground. it certainly looks like this is a big shot in the arm for bashar al-assad. the question is have the russians thought two or three moves ahead? this to me looks suspiciously like what happened in ukraine, where what seemed like a good idea, a pressurized idea by the russians to unleash pressure in ukraine, has backfired badly. when i hear carter say this is ultimately going to be something doomed to fail or hurt russia, i have
