netanyahu in new york. there was some friction back then, all forgiven, all done, move on. >> you haven't heard about it in a long time. i think when prime minister net in the got up in front of the general assembly in september, you'll remember the ball with the red -- >> i do. >> he said something that was perhaps obscured by the drawing. he said, it's not important when iran gets the bomb or even when iron decides it wants to get a bomb. the most important question is when can we no no longer prevent iran from getting a bomb. this program is going to go underground -- >> it will be too late. >> it will be too late. i think there's a would it understanding between us and the united states that that is a serious problem, that at some point we'll no longer be able to know and we may wake up to a very different and very dangerous middle east. >> with regard to secretary designate hagel -- i don't know if that's the appropriate way to think of him, the nominee, senator hagel, is there an official position? as

netanyahu is in good company. and guests in the past enjoyed burnt almond ice cream. and vladimir putin loves pistachio, one thing the two have in common. president obama has been seen eating ice cream. the president worked at a baskin robbins when he was a teenager. the president had to share the spotlight with the first lady and her bangs. she shocked all the cameras by debuting her new hair cut at the inauguration. and now she reveals the decision behind the new "do" in a chat with rachael ray. >> the bangs entered through my twitter account. i'm going to be 50 next year, okay? >> you look gorgeous. all the apples. >> it is the apples, this is my mid-life crisis, i couldn't get a sports car, they won't let me bungee jump, so i went for the bangs. >> you're the boss of your hair. >> i can do this, this is all mine. >> the first lady bungee jump. the rachael ray episode will air this wednesday. and still, why are you awake? the tweets and e-mails coming up. now just moments away. at a dry cleaner, we replaced people with a machine. what? customers didn't like it. so

netanyahu says iran will be at the top of his agenda when u.s. president barack obama visits israel next month. >>> chinese officials have taken over management of a port in pakistan. officials from a chinese state run firm acquired the rights last month to control gwadar port in south western pakistan. it lies near the strait of hormuz. pakistani president and chinese ambassador attended a hand over ceremony in the capital. the port is strategic for chinc. it imports crude oil from the north. >> it gives importance to china-pakistan relations. >> the chinese ambassador says much of china remains unstable. they must take advantage when they see openings. >> to seize opportunities. >> chinese companies were recently involved in a series of port projects in myanmar. the entrance into pakistan has raised concerns in india. >>> people in many parts of china say the clouds of smog they have seen for weeks make it harder to breathe. scientists say particles in the air could damage people's health. researchers studied samples from the atmosphere over be

they sound a lot more like chuck hagel than bibi netanyahu. has left to human suffering on the part of the palestinians and has been banned from israel itself. like president obama, they argue for the need to engage your enemies. they say you can't make peace through military means alone. in order, these men wouldn't fit in very well in the republican party in the u.s. right now. they might even get badgered by lindsey graham and ted cruz as we saw in a congressional hearing. the film is directed by documentary filmmaker dror moreh. thank you so much for this. i guess we always know in the states here, as you know, the military are often very hesitant about getting involved in military operations. they know the limitations of war and the unexpected horrors and costs of war. tell us about it, because i don't think most of us who follow israeli politics here are fully aware of the views that you got from your people in the military and shin bet are the top intelligence people there about israeli security. >> look, the basic thing is where do you

now the question for netanyahu informing his coalition government. will he partner with the far right as he has in the past or try to person with the new centrist and form a new coalition and move to the left and make concessions as part of that. some of the concessions he would likely have to make is to restart the peace process. he has to present his new government on march 16th. that is the timeline for that happening. it could impact the situation and what the president's visit could accomplish. >> an interesting side note, the israeli oprah, he won his election not by doing the traditional pushes for foreign policy reform that one usually does in israel. he really won on domestic issues like lowering taxes and affordable housing and all that kind of stuff. an interesting thing to watch. i think the israel trip for the president accomplishes a couple of things. one, the announcement boosts the chuck hagel nomination. it's saying i'm going there. i know i didn't make it to israel in my first four years of office, but i'm going. if you are reading

could he hit the reset button with netanyahu. and will the house tackle illegal gun trafficking. >>> for the first time since he took office, president obama is traveling to israel. ambassador dennis ross with the washington institute for nearest policy was a special assistant to president obama and adviser to hillary clinton and is msnbc diplomacy analyst. great to see you. you've spent so much time on this never ending mission of middle east peace. john kerry wants to tackle it, the president is going it tackle it early on. what is the cost benefit analysis for what can be accomplished now? >> i don't think the expectations are very high in terms of the president going out now and trying to produce something p i think what he's trying to do is send a signal that this is an issue that we care about, the secretary of state, john kerry, will be working on it. this is not going to be something that we ignore, but i think it's also going to be put into context. there are an enormous array of issues insyria, egypt. so i think his goi

i think that north korea is a good example that prime minister netanyahu used. it's one of the poorest countries on earth. the most sanctioned country on earth and the people are perennially near starvation and yet, exploded their third nuclear device and in december put a payload into orbit. if you're tehran you're going to see you have the determination you're going to get nuclear weapons and that's why the israelis are so worried about the failure of policies, the failure of sanctions to slow iran down. >> greta: i would think that sanctions would only work if everybody were on board so there weren't penetrations of the market so the countries could get money and i find it almost-- almost the point of insanity that we expect the sanctions to work in iran when just we give extensions for exceptions to the sanctions and we have 20 countries that have exceptions from our treasury department to do business with iran and they're big companies, germany, france, china, india, south africa, spain, poland, the netherlands. all of these countries are allowed to do busi

netanyahu? >> they are just words at this stage. >> did you speak with mr. netanyahu? >> yes i met with him. >> what did he have to say? >> he said i shouldn't talk about what he had to say. >> this is a friendly group. >> there is a push coming, john. >> a real push by mid-year on the iran thing. no doubt about it. >> netanyahu doesn't have the stroke he had before this last election though? >> no, this election the country moved away. his party lost 12 seats. >> yes. >> and what's more, where the seats were gapped, it was really in the center. >> i want forgive a shout out to president nixon the nonproliferation treaty came into force while he was president and worked well in the years since 1970, india, pakistan and north korea joined the nuclear. >> another great leader of man, >>> tonight i'm announcing that we will launch talks on a crop insurancesive transatlantic trade and investment partner slip with the european union. because trade that is fair and free across the atlantic supports millions of good paying american jobs. >> the idea for a trade pac between th

netanyahu. removing the friction that is said to exist between the two leaders. joining me from tel aviv, former israel embassador, dan gillerman. embassador, good morning, thank you for being here. >> good morning, it's good to be with you. >> i want to ask you, because prime minister netanyahu has been forthright and believes this spring will be a significant time for iran's suspected nuclear program. how beneficial is it that the president makes this trip now? >> i think it's very, very beneficial and very timely for the president to make this trip in march. it's also very significant and maybe symbolic that the president started his first term with a cairo speech and the second with a visit to jerusalem. it's important and it's a totally different region. he'll be visiting a volatile region with egypt collapsing, with syria in the midst of a civil war, with other countries fighting the extremists or extremism taking over, and he'll be visiting the u.s.'s only ally and friend in the region and probably best friend in the world. it's a huge to know opportunityr

netanyahu is going to steer in that direction. obama is going to say, as he said before, give me time. i have this but give me time. >> the american intelligence analysis of what happened with the u.n. inspections is there is more time. >> on the other hand, they are moving centrifuges into place where they could move the pile to move quickly toward a bond. there's contradictory things. the u.s. has capabilities to deal with this very late stage in the game. again, we are back to where we were last year. it's going to be obama trying to convince netanyahu not to do anything because the united states has it. >> the new secretary of state feeling his way in terms of the relationship. >> a newer secretary of defense who is going to be deeply involved in this. >> perless times. thank you very much. >>> up next, thousands turn out to hear pope benedicts final message. we are live from rome. >>> political peril from both sides of the sequester. debby watserman schultz joins us. but isn't it time to turn the page on your cup of joe? geva

if there is a churchhill for our days it is it benjamin netanyahu. a person with a historical perspect itch of understanding the strategic position of his country and my hope is when president obama comes, is that he will always rise to the level of leadership. we need churchhims and do not need chamberlains and people who see the wormed in a naive hope. that is my home hope. from tiberuous, israel. have a wonderful week.k.k.k.k.

he just might be the most powerful person in israeli politics not named netanyahu right now. find out what an unexpected power surge from the center could mean for u.s. hopes for mideast peace. >>> good morning from washington. it's tuesday, february 5th, 2013. this is "the daily rundown." i'm chuck todd. let's get to my first reads. president obama's state of the union address is just a week from today and the president is flooding the zone. worried the federal budget could dominate and limit his agenda this year. he's pushing other issues. he's talking guns one day, immigration the next. making sure he's not drawn into a standoff with republicans over the economy which would quickly come to define his second term. today, he makes the case on immigration to business leaders, including ceos like steve case and monica lozano from his now disbanded jobs council and chief executives of coca-cola and yahoo!. he also meets with labor and progressive leaders. the meetings will focus on how immigration reform fits into his broader economic agenda. >>> homeland security secretary jan

president obama a chance to mend what is a sometimes tense relationship with prime minister benjamin netanyahu. joining me now is the israeli ambassador to the united states, michael or in. ambassador, good morning, thanks for coming in. >> good morning, chuck. impressed with all the statistics. very good. >> let me start with this, and we know the way that both press corps can be when it comes to u.s.-israeli relations, but there's an expectation that the president wouldn't have accepted the invitation if prime minister netanyahu wasn't ready to make a gesture on the peace process when the president visited. is that something we should be looking for? >> listen, we're delighted that he's coming. president obama was always welcomed in israel. he'll be received enthusiastically by the government of israel, by the prime minister of israel, by the people of israel. the white house has made very clear that the purpose of the trip is to strengthen an already historic bond between israel and the united states. i think it will send a powerful message to the middle east at a time great uncertainty and

because netanyahu views iran the war is seen as the biggest iran or phobic and views iran for through somewhat of an ideology called lens as his mission he believes his mission in life is to confront the islamic republic of iran especially because iran is a big supporter of hezbollah defeated israel so why think of that scenario and does remain if they stand before the impasse continues well thank you so much middle east expert ali rizieq weighing in there. well of all the economic penalties imposed on iran over its nuclear energy program the oil export ban has hit the country hardest but despite the fact that it's undoubtedly damage the economy overall it has also helped strengthen other industries in the country as r.t. as maria faucheux reports. the international ban on iranian oil cost the country around for two billion dollars in two thousand and twelve according to the u. but despite this huge gap in iran's income officials have some good news in the tough sanctions normal experts have increased by least thirty percent from ego. so what mine looked like a bad thing or may actual
