but mr. obama's decision to halt the bush administration's plan for a missile defense system here has turned relations frosty in recent years. still, the white house has stressed the two presidents would be discussing the u.s.' role in poland's national security during bilateral meetings on saturday. as guest of honor at a meeting of central and eastern european leaders, the u.s. president sought to reassure his hosts. >> we have taken great inspiration from the blossoming of freedom and economic growth in this region and were confident that will continue and we want to be a part of that process of strengthening your democracy, strengthening your economies and be a full partner because we think that will be beneficial to the united states as well. >> a small protest was held outside the presidental pal os as mr. obama arrived but most pols appear to have welcomed his visit w a country gearing up to take over the presidency, its leader's president will usher in the start of closer bilateral ti

so maybe mr. obama in his infinitel. wisdom maybe they press the panic button and and what could we do that would be considered monumentally enough for the american negative with the financial situation that we find ourselves. >>host: we got the point*. >> i think she say that i the diversion but that is a long term obsession and the president has spent many, manya months studying the compound and planning for this it was hardly the panic button i know they this was a case for diversion but it does not last that long. they will pay attention to what they want too. >>host: george h. w. bush 90 percent approval rating after the iraq war. a lot of big names dropped out of the 1992 campaign. obama has seemed to have gotten a bounce from the killing of bin laden. does it last? >>guest: it is a little early but "the washington post" did a poll right after and it showed about the samee high single digits, i think 9% for the approval rating that is roughly the same george w. bush got a after capturing sadam hussain. if that numb

mr. obama had called on libya's leader, muammar gaddafi, to leave office just a week after protests started there. he backed military intervention to protect libyan civilians. but on syria, it has taken more than two months of protests and a thousand people killed in the april crackdown for mr. obama to finally say these words. >> the syrian people have shown their courage in demanding a transition to democracy. presidents has a choice. -- president's bashar al-assad has a choice. he can leave or get out of the way. >> today, there is more criticism for their handling of the shiite population of the country. >> did president obama manage to convince all arab protesters he's on their side? those who believe america supports them will continue to look to washington for moral support, but the skeptics will not have been swayed by the rhetoric. they will be watching mr. obama's next move. >> how did the president's speech play here in america and throughout the arab world? joining me to discu

well these are two very different things aren't they i mean the fact that the fact is that if mr obama had the kind of power that i wish he had i would have asked him to wave a magic wand and create a two state solution that should have been in place for twenty years these two men don't like each other and they come at this issue from very different directions but our countries exist within the realities of international diplomacy and a very long history together what mr obama is doing is frankly asking the israeli government are you on board or are you not on board with the very thing that you've been saying that you're driving ever since your government was formed but you know you're saying you're saying so. on capitol hill. tend to sway towards the favors over israel that we know we know that washington who sends a lot of funds to israel we know that they give the most of military hardware do you think it's ever going to be a challenge that washington will one day get fed up with catering to israel's every wish. well i think that in a sense that has begun perhaps not throughout wash

they will not be happy with what they heard from mr. obama. there were many platitudes about the close relationship between israel and the u.s. israel must decide how would approaches the obama doctrine, this new doctrine about middle east peace and whether israel is ready and willing to sit down with the palestinians. the reaction from the palestinian side from ramallah with my colleague. >> we are here in ramallah and the west bank. i have just been out into the streets. such was the skepticism and the low expectations about this speech that it was actually pretty difficult to find anyone who had watched it. those i found were genuinely pretty surprised about that line about america prepared to push for a palestinian state based on the 1967 borders. this is the first time that the u.s. administration had said that. people were genuinely pleased. i talked to an official close to the palestinian president. he was expecting nothing from this speech. when i told him that line about 1967, he was genuinely surprised and pleased. palestinians are p

president obama may be in for a tense meeting at the white house today. mr. obama sits down with israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu, just one day after siding with the palestinians' demands for drawing new state borders. netanyahu left for washington after saying mr. obama's peace proposal would leave israel indefensible. joel brown has more from washington. good morning, joel. >> betty, good morning to you. before he even boarded the plane to washington, israel's prime minister made it clear to his parliament he wasn't happy with president obama's major policy speech on thursday. today the two men get a chance to hash out their differences face-to-face. israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu is on his way to the white house to make his case against president obama's new plan for a palestinian state. >> we believe the borders of israel and palestine should be based on the 1967 line. >> reporter: in a major policy speech thursday, the president called on israel to surrender land it won in the 1967 war to the palestinians. the statement sent shockwave

but before he left sunday, mr. obama spoke to america's pro-israel lobby. he defended his proposal to use israel's 1967 borders as the basis for a future palestinian state. the president said all he was doing what stating publicly what has long been u.s. policy and he warned that time for a mideast peace deal is running out. >> it is the right and the responsibility of the israeli government to make the hard choices that are necessary to protect a jewish and democratic state for which so many generations have sacrificed. >> israel's prime minister benjamin netanyahu has already rejected the president's proposal. netanyahu will address the same group today, and congress tomorrow. >>> fighting continues this morning at a pakistani navy base. it is in the southern port city of karachi. taliban militants attacked last night. the attackers destroyed two surveillance aircrafts, supplied to pakistan by the u.s., then holed up in a building on the base. at least a dozen pakistani security officers were killed in the suggesting that president obama isn't admitting t

mr. obama said that america has taken inspiration from the blossoming of freedom and economic growth in the region. on saturday he is expected to announce closer military ties with poland. and mr. obama has signed into law a four-year extension of the anti-terrorism patriot act which increases surveillance powers. mr. obama who is at the g8 summit in france at the time of the signing used an auto signing machine that signs his actual signature. tribal leaders have been fighting with government forces have announced a cease-fire in the capital center. he said he was fully backing the protest movement and he wanted it to remain peaceful, but he said that if the president wanted war, he would have war. six italian soldiers have been wounded by a roadside bomb in southern lebanon. it exploded as they were driving past in a united nations convoy on the main road. the u.n. force in lebanon is tasked with keeping the peace in the border region with israel. no group has said it carried out the at

mr. obama went on to say we don't trot out this stuff as trophies. we don't need to spike the football. president making essentially an ethical point of why he chose not to release those photos in saying that's not who we are. but also making a couple of strategic points. one, what he described as -- as very graphic photos of somebody who was shot in the head. do not become an incitement to further violence against the united states or something to be used by propaganda by the followers of osama bin laden. but also to senator lindsay graham's criticism. that indisputable proof be provided of bin laden east death. mr. obama arguing we don't think that a photograph in and of itself is going to make any difference. there's going to be some folks who deny it. releasing a photograph, releasing evidence is not going to quell people who are invested in a conspiracy theory that serves their own purposes. this is something that we can intuitively understand. it is something that mr. obama understands personally from very, very recent experience in a very diff

mr. obama's statement puts pressure on israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu. immediately after the speech he called the idea indefensible, but mr. obama had plenty to anger the palestinians too. criticizing the palestinian unity agreement between fatah, and extremist group hamas and trying to head off the assembly. >> it won't create an independent state. >> >> the palestinian reaction was positive but they had a key question. >> what will be the american role in getting netanyahu to accept this? >> the president's balancinging at gave a little to each side but one observer said mr. obama may have been too careful not to stick his neck out. >> i think he didn't want to displease any particular con sit yhency, but what that meant was he wasn't going to take a lot of risks, and when you're not willing to take risks on the middle east, you're not going to make a lot of news. >> he'll have two more chances. a meeting on friday with netanyahu and a major speech to the jewish lobbying group apec this weekend. but even as president obama was delivering his speech at

. >> mr. obama's call for the starting point of negotiations between the israelis and palestinians set off a fire storm. in a meeting with mr. obama, benjamin netanyahu protested. >> because these lines are indefensible. >> one of the reasons the obama administration wants to use the formula is because of growing concerns that palestine will seek stathood at a u.n. meeting. the u.s. wants to avoid that. >> we oppose it, and the way to prevent that from occurring is to provide an alternative in direct negotiation that would foreclose or make not necessary that option. >> reporter: a return to the 1967 borders with land swaps had long been discussed privately. this was the first time an american.suggested it becomely. >> after stirring up a little controversy at home, he heads to europe for what he calls a meeting with friend and will meet with the g8 to discuss the global economy. >> alan: the new york city apartment where the former imf leader is under house arrest has been a tourist hot spot.

mr. mladic had friends still in government. >> i think the capture and serbia has been working on it for the last three years with british and american services, and i think the important moment is that justice will be made and is the credibility of serbia, demonstrating that it does what it says it will be doing and now it's the turn not only of serbia to do its part but also, for instance, for those who have committed crimes against the serbs to be tried, i'm thinking of the former kosavar prime minister now in the hague and serious allegations reported by dick martin, his report to the council of europe earlier this year on human organ trafficking on serbs done by the kosavarian civilians so this is not about picking apart the community, but rather to have truth known for all and justice made so that we can reconcile and look forward to european integration of the entire region. that's the goal. >> thank you very much for from paris with all the latest. the pilots of an air france flig

last night, though, mr. obama, along with mrs. obama, were guests of honor at a state dinner. during the president's toast to the queen, there was an awkward moment. >> this realm, this england, to the queen. >> the president turned to toast the queen, then realized, he had to wait for the song "god save the queen" to end before glasses were raised, and earlier he visited westminster abbey and signed the guest book where he wrote the wrong year "2008" instead of 2011. guess it happens to all of us. >>> in other news, the pentagon has its secret helicopter back. during the raid in pakistan that killed osama bin laden, the classified stealth helicopter was damaged. navy s.e.a.l.s destroyed it to keep stealth technology to keep it from falling into unfriendly hands. the package was returned earlier this week. >>> ash from that erupting volcano in iceland is beginning to disrupt air travel in europe. it shows the smoke plume drifting high over the north atlantic. hundreds of flights were canceled in scotland and scandinavia yesterday and dozens more in northern germany today. >>>

mr. netanyahu and his government, his right wing coalition government is this assertion from mr. obama that the future palestinian state must be based on the 1967 cease-fire lines, albeit with some land swaps. mr. netanyahu said tonight clearly he thinks those cease-fire lines, the 1967 and certainly is a policy the israelis do not agree with. they will not be happy with what they heard from mr. obama, apart from many platitudes of the close relationship between israel and the united states and the fact that israel as a country can defend. israel must decide how it approaches the obama doctrine, this new doctrine about middle east peace and whether israelis in fact are ready and willing to sit down with the palestinians. here with a view, the reaction from the palestinian side is my colleague in ramallah, john donason. >> thank you. in ramallah in the west bank i've just been out into the streets and such was the skepticism, the low expectations from palestinians about this speech. it was

mr. obama forcefully stepped into the middle east debate. he vowed to improve america's image in the middle east and offered support of a key palestinian demand. >> we believe the borders of israel and palestine should be based on the 1967 lines with mutually agreed swaps. >> some controversial comments. israel is not happy with these comments. tomorrow mr. obama meets with israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu. netanyahu is already saying no way to going back to those tighter, 1967 borders. >>> dominique strauss-kahn, the former chief of the imf, who's been sitting in a new york jail since saturday, could be set free tomorrow. strauss-kahn was indicted by a grand jury earlier in the day on charges that he sexually assaulted a maid at the sofitel hotel in new york. the new york judge granted him bail after he agreed to post a $1 million cash bond. strauss-kahn also had to put up an additional $5 million as collateral. the 62-year-old frenchman will be confined to his wife's new york apartment and be under 24-hour watch. he will also have

mr. obama tells 60 minutes that their safety was his biggest concern. >> what was the most difficult part? you had to decide. this was your decision whether to proceed or not and how to proceed. what was the most difficult part of that decision? >> my number one concern was, if i send them in, can i get them out? a lot of the discussion we had during the course of planning was how do we make sure there's backup? how do we make sure there is redundancy built into the plan so we have the best chance of getting our guys out. that's point number one. >> and you can see steve cross' entire interview with president obama this sunday at 7:00 right here on cbs 5. >>> we already knew that the seals came home with a treasure- trove of intelligence taken from bin laden's compound. tonight we are learning just how much. 2.7terabytes. that's a lot. bob ore breaks it down for us. >> number two has been just as illusive as osama bin laden. in the raid have revealed positive intelligence that is helping

that we masterminded this is a hoax and it's discovered mr obama will lose the upcoming election. now. we take everything at face value as what we're seeing here the u.s. celebrating the success but of course the big sting in the tail here as well that everything talking about the increased risks of possible revenge attacks against americans. well. of course i think so many of your analysts and said earlier today has been four years of peace and for allies organization people who call themselves. members simply voluntarily engage themselves in the ideology of jihad warrior terrorism and follow the name al qaeda so it was senseless and rather insulting to the american public your listening audience and the world public for hillary clinton and for barack obama and david cameron and mr karzai in afghanistan to say that the leader is now you should put your tails between your legs and come on in with the taliban and remnants of al qaeda can surrender yourselves to the western region because the asians unsettlement it was completely an insult to the world community to think that killin

the last time mr. obama got a higher approval rating was back in july 2009, but those feelings do not extend to the president's handling of the economy. just 34% of those asked approve, the lowest of mr. obama's presidency. >>> as we reported, there are growing questions about how bin laden could have been living just 35 miles from pakistan's capital and the pakistanis say they didn't know. in an interview with cbs news chief foreign correspondent lara logan, pakistan's former military ruler, pervez musharraf, insisted nobody knew. >> i do agree that it is surprising. it needs to be investigated, who slipped up, why this negligence. >> you are really asking people to believe that this all happened without the knowledge of the intelligence services and the military and that it came as a complete surprise? >> yes, yes, i'm saying that and i mean every word of it. >> you said there was no proof that he was in pakistan. >> yes, there was no proof obviously. those who were saying he was in pakistan, i don't
