the u.s. program, the fast and furious program ended up in criminals hands. do you think they are looking to find out what these people knew and when they knew it, maybe how far back? is this all about timing? >> a lot of it is about timing and a lot of it is trying to trace who at the top levels of the justice department knew about this program when it was in effect and when the guns were being allowed to walk into mexico. holder acknowledged this was a flawed program but said he did not know anything about it until really earlier this year. back in may he testified he didn't really know much of anything about it before a few weeks before that. so you're talking about sometime in the spring. there are documents that have been leaked out to the press showing that there were memos with mr. holder's name on it last year about the program, though they didn't go into a lot of detail. so members of the house, the republicans on this committee are trying to button hole just when the attorney general

but what u.s. policy did in 1986 with the free south africa movement was to remove and support from the apartheid government where it had been until then, until law was passed. you look at different u.s. administrations. all of them found excuses to do little or nothing above why it had this horrible system in place. if you want to give a little bit credit, you could say that jimmy carter was a little bit less supportive of the apartheid regime than the other u.s. administrations. going beyond the government, you could give robert kennedy some credit. but the point is that washington was pretty supportive of the authority of the regime until when things got really bad and the free south africa movement said it was wrong for this government to be on the wrong side of this issue. so this is very much an issue that was dominated by racism. the second one cover is a pretty long space of time. rhodesia and mugabe, once again, the united states, when it came to the independence of zimbabwe and the rhodes

exactly the u.s. aims to unite the world against the rand us what we hear from the officials here they are talking about the need to completely isolate iran in the international community vice president joe biden for example said the u.s. action against iran could go beyond sanctions but added that we are not going there yet that's a quote we're getting reports that the u.s. might raise the issue at the u.n. security council and generally a lot of tough words in washington these days the u.s. administration strongly believes in the case against this iranian born man also a u.s. citizen mounts for our who is accused of trying to plot the assassination of the saudi ambassador in washington the u.s. attorney general said the man admitted being directed by quote high ranking you raney and officials and on these grounds washington says it will hold the reigning government accountable for the plot to kill the mass that are also the u.s. is accusing iran of conspiring to stage two bombings at the israeli emb

u.s. to iran has rejected the accusations calling it america's latest propaganda attack he's going to church can has the latest now from the u.s. capitol. the u.s. attorney general explicitly said that the u.s. will be holding the uranium government accountable for the plots to kill the ambassador of saudi arabia to the united states also the u.s. is accusing iran of conspiring to stage two bombings at the really embassy in washington and at the embassy of saudi in saudi arabia and washington and here is how the u.s. department of justice came out with those those accusations the f.b.i. and the u.s. drug enforcement agency have arrested a new rhenium born u.s. citizen in a sting operation his name on sure are. u.s. investigators say the man tried to plot the assassination of the saudi ambassador to the united states and was ready to pay one and a half million dollars for the murder and for that according to the americans this the rainy and men turned to members of the mexican drug cartel w

the details are so bizarre, some u.s. officials said it looked like the work of amateurs. >> i would be careful about calling this a sloppy operation or amateurish or cowboyish. >> reporter: michigan republican mike rogers chairs the house intelligence committee. he says in fact this was a sophisticated plot. was this a rogue actor or were the highest levels of the iranian government involved? >> i have a high degree of confidence that there were the highest echelons of the iranian government involved in this particular act. >> reporter: rogers said the u.s. goal must now be to encourage some reluctant members of the u.s. city council to further isolate iran and renew focus on iran's nuclear program. >> do you want a nation that is actively engaging in assassination in a foreign land for political purposes possessing nuclear weapons? i think no one, no rational person could come to the conclusion that that's a good idea. >> reporter: and that's the message the u.s. wants to send to china, russia and our european counter-p

u.s. financial system to the most vulnerable countries in europe is limited, we have substantial trade and investment tries with europe and european stability matters greatly for american exporters and for american jobs. already the crisis has slowed growth significantly in europe and around the world as increased uncertainty and red e reduced risk appetite, undermine business and consumer confidence and reduced household wealth. there are downside risk to the outlook for the u.s. economy and job creation. it is vitally important to the united states that europe is able to address its issues effectively and in a timely fashion. for this reason the administration has closely engaged with european leaders to encourage them to move forward in an effective way. at the same time, our supervisors have for some time been working closely with the u.s. financial institutions to identify risks and to improve their ability to withstand a variety of contagion events emanating from europe. in managing

what concerns us most is that the u.s. wants to force all the countries that took part in the general assembly big and small like you particular the members of the un security council to vote against palestinian leadership in the un this is the key concern for us all the member states of the security council have the right to use or as i would put it misused their right to veto this of course such a decision will be regrettable. and other interviewers next hour here are that whether they realize it or not french school kids are learning a serious lesson in the power of political correctness across the country parents and teachers are enraged by new textbooks which carry revised historical locales to avoid insulting minority pupils as i pointed out on patrol reports many french fear their identity will soon disappear along with their history. twenty pages on the history of black slavery and just six on the time of napoleon shown here sitting on the toilet from says new history school books are inbreeding parents and teacher

if the u.s. military were to leave afghanistan altogether or if it were to leave iraq all together those governments would become independent determining governments free of foreign interference or foreign occupation that's what would happen they would form their own natural alliances with their neighbors the united states does not want that this is the great prize this is a geo strategic way and resource rich part of the world united states is there for the long term and i think that's the real goal is to put firmly afghanistan and the surrounding countries into an american spirit within it think the karzai government really is an extension of american power which has a masquerade the fiction of a nato cover but really it's an american power. or it's probably cannot survive without outside support after all the outsiders the occupiers put him into power i don't think he has any real legitimacy or credibility for his people. the anti-war sentiment is growing in britain which has the second larges

nor he said that the u.s. economy needs. the financial institutions to help the economy grow he did criticize the republican led congress for not imposing more regulations but he did speak directly to the frustrations of americans here's what he had to say i think people are frustrated. with the protesters or. giving voice to a more broad based frustration about how our financial system works is not just about the financial systems this is about as i mentioned corporate influence over u.s. politics and this includes us president barack obama himself when i spoke to many of the demonstrators out on the street cited the campaign contributions that banksy made to president obama when he was a candidate in two thousand and eight goldman sachs contributed one million dollars more than that morgan chase contributed to obama more than eight hundred thousand dollars to his campaign we should mention in two thousand and ten j.p. morgan chase made seventeen point four billion dollars in profits and made no taxes these demonstrators ou

from the u.s. side. now in the u.s. itself thousands of americans are gearing up for another day of demonstrations they've been protesting for three weeks against corporate influence on government policy which they blame for the country's ongoing economic woes but even after police arrested hundreds of activists over the weekend the movement's still picking up momentum all across the u.s. and i'm on reports. we don't want that now that is creating more pain where it's not very much more aggression and i think people are taking a stand right all right more than a thousand people in los angeles. chose to stand in solidarity with the occupy wall street movement. at city hall the very visible center of government in power and demonstrators worry that the one percent who controlled most of the nation's wealth have gained a stranglehold over the u.s. government alexander hamilton you know referred to the people he was so afraid of as the great peace and the great peace as a way people of all walks of life have turned out for
