>> reporter: wel he's in poland. he's going to be visiting with the polish prime minister today, but while here in israel he really did make some waves with his comments sounding quite hawkish when it comes to iran. at first when he first got here talked of supporting israel if it did decide to do a preemptive strike to keep iran from obtaining nuclear weapons. he then backed off that just a bit and said that he would respect israel's right to defend itself and respect israel's right to do a preemptive strike if they deemed necessary. but very strong words on iran. that made headlines. and so did something else he said at the onset of his speech. he said that he was very happy to be here in jerusalem, the capital of israel. israel has always said that jerusalem is its capital, but the palestinians not happy to hear that because the palestinians feel that east jerusalem is under occupation and they want east jerusalem to be their capital in a two-state solution. so he's managed to make the leadership of israel quite h

rick: joining us on the phone from poland carl cameron. carl, why poland? >> reporter: for a number of reasons. owe will reassure the world he will value and strengthen a number of relations with u.s. allies and romney counts poll leaned one of the strongest. they have a growing economy and they are outside the eurozone. the former communist country has been cutting taxes and government regulation aggressively. its president, donald tuske, had somewhat chilly relationship with president obama. mr. romney will implicitly try to highlight that. it is also true that he has been a critic of russia, something that again is part of what mr. romney is talking about in terms of trying to strengthen relations with allies and perhaps even brush back some people who have been in the words of one romney aide, standing in the way of progress. a short while ago mr. romney wrapped his meeting with mr. tusqe and we're on the way to a memorial where the very first shots of second world war were fired. later this afternoon he will meet with lech walesa, a hear row of the col

mitt romney is wrapping up an overseas trip after speaking in poland. he says he is inspired by poland's opposition to what he describes as a government dominated economy. romney has been criticized for comments he made in israel yesterday. he said israel is better off economically than palestine because of cultural reasons. a palestinian spokesperson called the comment races. the you think romney comments will hurt his campaign? share your comments on twitter or facebook or you can even e-mail us. >> a massive power outage in india today. over 1 million people are without electricity after three regional grid's collapsed. emergency workers have rushed generators to coal miners who are trapped underground. india's power minister blames the problem on individual states taking more than their share of electricity. >> the time now is 610. an 11 year-old ridiculed for her version of the national anthem >> her parents are coming to her defense. >> candy bars could put one man behind bars for a very long time. a bizarre but static california airport >> they a

the people in poland, very upset with the gaff he made. but how does that trot votes here in the united states for governor romney? it was a terrible gaff. but there will be gaffs by everybody in the next three or four months. >> yeah, this was a big one, though. this is a matter of great sensitivity to the poles and for good reason and it was put on top of something, the president dismissed them, treating them so cavalierly over the question of the radar systems for european missile defense. they were already -- they were already with a chip on their shoulder for good reason. now they have a bigger one. look, in the greater scheme of things, they don't determine elections. a visit to poland won't sway the election, but it will have a positive impact, outside of detroit, or cleveland, or pittsburgh or philadelphia. and it will have a positive impact and be felt and heard in those communities. same with the visit to israel. this is a very important voting block. if mitt romney only gets the same percentage of the jewish vote in florida that

mitt romney got an enthusiastic welcome in poland. >> we want you to be president of the united states. >> reporter: the presidential hopeful wraps up his overseas trip today with a foreign policy speech in warsaw. monday, romney picked up an endorsement from lech walesa, the legendary leader of poland's solidarity movement, who invited romney to poland. >> so, governor romney, this is lech. >> reporter: but romney is also being criticized for comments he made at a fund-raiser in israel monday morning. speaking to donors, romney said israel is far better off economically than neighboring palestine because of cultural reasons. a palestinian spokesman called the comment racist. the white house called romney's statement a head-scratcher. >> one of the challenges of being an actor on the international stage, particularly when you're traveling to such a sensitive part of the world, is that your comments are very closely scrutinized. >> reporter: here in the u.s., president obama spent the evening in new york raising money. he told 60 high-dollar donors that as the summer ends, he'll begin t

so far romney has had a much easier time in poland. he's getting ready for a big speech where he'll talk about poland's path to democracy and its economic success? >> reporter: that's right, john. mitt romney is going to try to get his campaign and this trip back on message with the foreign policy address here in warsaw. and as you said, he's going to be talking about some of the good things he sees here in poland, his aides have talked about how this economy here is roaring ahead of much of europe. that's something that the rest of europe, he says might want to take a look at. the other thing he'll be talking about, i think he'll be also honoring this country's commitment to the war in afghanistan. so we may be hearing some of that as well. but you're right there have been a few gaffes on this trip for mitt romney. the palestinians are very upset about what the gop contender had to say in israel at a fundraiser with some of his doans. let's put his quote up on screen that got the palestinians so fired up. he said culture makes all the

the republican white house hopeful received a warm welcome in poland, a country that has sometimes been at odds with the obama administration. >> in a turbulent world, poland stand as an example and a defender of freedom. >> but his foreign trip has been filled with controversy, at his first stop in london he questioned whether the city was ready for the olympics. in israel he told jewish donors that their culture makes them better off economically than palestinians. reporters shouted questions about those comments after mitt romney visited the tomb of the unknowns holder in poland. that drew anger from the mitt romney campaign spokesperson. in this exchange that was recorded. >> show some respect!,kiss my a * ". >> the obama administration is criticizing some of his remarks overseas. >> this is a reminder that this is a high-stakes situation. >> the mitt romney campaign is gearing up for his return to the united states, and hinting the vice-presidential selection might be coming soon. the campaign unveiled a new smart-phone application that will tell supporters his vice presidential pi

but from warsaw, poland, chief political correspondent carl cameron. >> reporter: in poland, wrapping up a week-long foreign trip, many in the press dubbed gaffe-prone, they think they're trying to cover for obama where romney criticized for the first and only time overseas. >> has this been a gap-prone trip for you? >> i'm pleased with what i learned on the trip and the opportunity i had to speak with leaders and the exchanges we've had. i realize that there will be done in the fourth estate or whichever estate who are far more interested in finding something to write about that is unrelated to the economy, to geopolitics, to threat of war. to the reality of conflict in afghanistan today. to a nuclearization of iran. instead they'll try to find anything else to divert from the fact the last four years are tough for the country, years of tumult in the world. we need to see a better direction taken on the part of the nation. >> romney brushed back palestinian charges of racism on what he says were inadequate media reports he told the donors in jerusalem their economy is stronger than t

poland is the next place we should be looking at. the rate decision out of poland. the central bank and just coming out with the decision to leave rates on hold as had been expected. the key rates in poland remaining at 4.75%. largely expected. in fact, all of the 18 economists polled on this did expect that to be the case. the central bank of poland will hold a conference call at 1400 gmt. >>> so 1500 cet, that's 2:00 london time. bob diamond will appear in front of the uk treasury select committee. the key question could be the role played by the deputy governor paul tucker. this after barclays released a memo details a conversation between tucker and the now ex-ceo of barclays. diamond expected to mount a vigorous defense of his own reputation and of that his former employer. let's listen in to what the politicians had to say on the matter following diamond's resignation. >> bob diamond's taken the right decision. the right decision for his bank and the right decision for the economy. but now let's get on and create that new culture of responsibility in banking.

america and poland. poland was one of the first countries to help america in the fight in afghanistan and iraq. one of the first people to call president bush, polish leader. they have been solid across the board. i think there was more of a theme about freedom and democracy than there was about polish voters which probably going to vote for him anyway. >> eric: i think he's planning on winning. if mitt romney wins, what a great thing to have on your resume, that i shook hands with the israelis, i shook hands with the pols and brits. something obama never did. he went there and apologized for america. >> bob: he did not. what are you talking about? >> eric: we apologize for american exceptionalism -- >> bob: that is flat wrong. >> eric: defended you in the past. >> bob: where did you dream that up? in the polish neighborhood? >> eric: listen to the speech. i made it up off the top of my head. >> bob: i think you did. >> greg: if lek likes mitt and hugo likes obama that is telling. that should tell americ

walesa invited romney to visit poland. just hours before the speech, mitt romney's press secretary lost his cool with reporters. he was visiting the tomb of the unknown soldier, some anxious reporters were firing off questions as romney walked to his car. here is what happened next. >> governor romney -- >> governor romney, do you have a statement for the palestinians? >> what about your guests? >> governor romney, do you feel yo your gaffes have overshadowed your foreign trip. >> show some respect. >> we won't have another chance to ask him questions. >> [ bleep ]. this is a holy site for the polish people. show some respect. >> that aide who said that has since apologized. want to bring in hala gorani with cnn international. covering numerous campaigns. the language can get a little salty. usually not captured on camera. >> didn't we get a shove it to a political reporter -- a politico reporter as well. >> tell us more about this. i think for viewers they may not understand how this works. when you're traveling with a ca

he visited poland's tomb of the unknown soldier. and i just want to make sure our viewers of aware of this. the press corps that travels with mitt romney, we all waited to ask these questions of him as he was walking away from this national memorial here in warsaw. we were a good 100 yards from the tomb of the unknown soldier when we tried to ask these questions. and it was at that point sort of unprovoked when this press aide, rick gorka, came over to us and started yelling at us, berating us and using some ex-plitives there. in addition to what we just played, he told a reporter from politico to shove it. and i can tell you, soledad, about 30 minutes later we did hear from rick gorka who called and apologized to a couple of reporters there. and then after the speech that just wrapped up here in warsaw, we had a chance to talk to stewart stevens, a senior adviser with the romney campaign, and he tried to basically, you know, make it all sort of water under the bridge and went on to characterize this overseas trip as a great success
