yeah absolutely i mean i think a bigger difference between united states and western europe is largely about the political system so even before the disastrous citizens united supreme court case the united states we had relatively pay to play politics as against europeans i think on both sides of the atlantic inside the united states as well as in western europe the financial industry in some cases rightly and some not so fairly enjoys about the same level of popularity that major diseases usually have the difference is that american politicians get their money from powerful lobbies and are much more beholden to corporate interests even when their own popular and the europeans with proportional representation publicly financed campaigns are not quite as much under the sway of the sway of transnational business and so they do a little more legislative responding to what their constituents actually want and many of our politicians are a little bit less worried about that because they all face the real primary which comes before every election which is cost on raising a very quick slight

some countries in western europe, mainly spain. some countries in latin america, mainly chile. with cuba, we have a long standing relationship. 75% of any mexican foreign minister time is devoted to the u.s. i tried to devote as much time as i could to immigration. because i thought and continue to think this is mexico's single most important issue with the u.s. by the way i also think it's the united states single most important issue with mexico. there are 11 or 12 million mexican st. s residing in the u.s. there are more than 30 million americans of mexican dissent in the u.s. there are important states in the united states like california, like texas, like arizona, like nevada, like illinois, where mexicans make up a very significant part of the electorate or of the population at large. it's a central issue. and it's an issue that has to be addressed and that nobody wants to address forthrightly. >> how should it be addressed? >> it should addressed a little bit the way we said back in 2001 and 2002 with my good friend, former secretary of state, colin powell. the way presi

necessary to our security interests as we did when there was the threat of a soviet invasion much western europe so i think we're going through this readjustment phase. as i pointed out in the outset, the breadth and depth of the economic ties are so strong that i think we will survive this and come out with a pretty good relationship. and from "the wall street journal," our frid wter mossberg stops by to talk about the icloud and steve jobs. >> i think we're firmly in the post pc areaand not just because of the icloud announcement but because of the devices many of us are carrying are now pc's and replace what we used to could with traditional pc's. >> w conclude with january gee scott who has written a bk about barack obama's mother and joseph lelyveld who wrote about mahatma gandhi. >> she wrote about the woman that would later become president and she produced someone who is in the middle in thvery frontf our consciousness w. so she was a gre subject. >> h turned the indian national movement from an elite kind of discussion group of lawyers into a mass movement and did that with remarkable s

spend a few minutes sharing stories about the brotherhood, rivalry and ultimately the victory in western europe that was eisenhower, bradley and patton. the brotherhood began almost a century ago this summer in august of 1911. and the united states military academy in new york. it began when a young cadet from kansas, and never left the state of kansas before, met a young your cadet from missouri who and all practical purposes had never left randolph county, ms. laurie. dwight eisenhower universally known to his friends as ike and omar bradley known more familiarly as brad became best friends at the academy. the work point was to instill marshall quality and bring out the military sciences, neither i can nor brad lidge were particularly militant back in those days. eisenhower was a notorious rule breaker particularly when those rules concerned curfews. brad for his part, actually out ranked ike by the time they graduated from west point. wasn't the kind of guy who would stand out in a crowd. he was just a quiet guy. these two cadets didn't stand out in the classroom or even sometimes in a crowd

. >> created to protect western europe from the threat of a soviet invasion, nato today encompasses countries once on the other side of the iron curtain and operates as far away as afghanistan. where gates said, nato is not carrying its weight. some countries put restrictions on what kind of operations they will perform and decide for themselves when they will leave. >> we cannot afford to have some troop contributing nations pull out their forces on their own time line that underminds the mission. >> all of gates complaints had been heard before. but coming so bluntly from someone in his stature, it amounts to saying the emperor has no clothes. >> the real possibility for a dim, if not dismal future for the transatlantic alliance. >> with just three weeks left as secretary of defense, robert gates is at last free to speak his mind. david martin, cbs news, the pentagon. >> well tonight there are contradicting their claim. initially said they were not certified to rescue him. they blame lack of training funds. well turns out they did have the money. they just never used it. kristen on the unca

mostly because of our successes in western europe but we operate in france but it was far from the truth and. these forests over the memorials commemorate fighters whose bodies have been recovered by search parties since the war searching for missing soldiers is a long and complicated process. first the head of a search group asks locals where exactly the fighting took place. what with there are also. many of our fighters particularly in a partisan style in this film but i'm just looking through the woods you can see the dead lying in groups of ten all trials they never made a house in the forest. and then a group of volunteers sets out on an expedition they comb the site and meter after meter. weapons and other objects made of metal keep fairly well underground. this is a soviet helmet it was a direct hit. you can see where the shot entered and exited. turns to base the objects are carefully examined the latest expedition has turned up. a flask. but the searchers regard so-called medallions as the most valuable. these are small pieces containing all important papers they carry the infor

the bottom of the black sea and then on into europe and critics say these pipelines will make western europe even more dependent on moscow every thought household on the continent of russian gas. means our streaming best to gazprom is working hard to prove that even a joke like. hello is a crime or welcome to the show thank you very much for being with us. well first of all first of all i'd like to ask you about your presentation in brussels on the twenty fifth of may did this presentation somehow change the attitudes in the e.u. towards the south or do they still have questions about the project. well i think it was a very successful event so. there was a very good presence not only of the many partners in the sauce. project but also of e.u. officials and service from various institutions. we consider this session success also because the european commissioner confirmed the importance of energy relations and of the southeast project the search. to those real agents and use the words this is clearly a priority also for the e.u. and we will find good ways to work with it and to support it so

ahead of this system, we've got this cold front that's going to be sweeping across western europe. that will turn intense during the day, bringing widespread rain to france, the low countries eventually arriving in germany. just ahead of this, though, high pressure system will keep conditions dry across poland, down towards the balkans. but as we head towards the mediterranean, we will run into this heat and moisture. again, southern italy as well as greece will be in for some afternoon thunderstorms. athens coming in at 28 degrees. some showers will affect kiev and also moscow as well. but bright spells of sunshine in vienna, warming up to 30 degrees. all right, here is your extended forecast now. >>> and that wraps up this edition of "newsline." i'm catherine kobayashi in tokyo. do stay with us. ccccccccccccc'ca
