new allegations of spying in the united states. germany said there is evidence that the united states monitored angela merkel's private phone calls. president obama spoke to her to assure her that the united states is not and will not monitor her private communications. secretary of state john kerry met in rome with israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu. and newly released video shows syrian revenges rescued off the coast of malta. survivers say libyan traffickers shot their boat leaving them to drown. 400 were on the boat, and it's believed 200 drowned. >>> bank of america was found liable for siling bad mortgages to sally may and freddi fannie . they are seeking $800 million in damages. >> when u.s. national security policies kill civilians in ally nations questions of sovereignty and legality get in the way of good relations. drones in pakistan. that's tonight's inside story. >> hello, i'm libby casey in washington. pakistan and united states have a complicated and often strained relationship. the two countries share vital i

to prevent all of that from happening i mean when i say you the united states what can the united states do to prevent all of that i think the sad answer is that the united states doesn't have the power of that it once said it doesn't have the leverage that it once had and so it. tries to work through allies through international organizations and occasionally on its own and deal with the court of public opinion that the the best america can but there there isn't a lot in the toolbox right now they're not many tools there well thank you for this recognition i think this is a very bold statement and a very honest saved. and on your part now i have to admit also that russia and the soviet union are no strangers to grand geo political ambitions and you know trying to make the world a better place so to say and one lesson that learned very well is that when you fight wars abroad you may lose in a domestic front as a former ambassador to saudi arabia i would like to ask you what are the chances in your view of saudi citizens rising out and demanding more of a say not only in the way that coun

states are cursed by the united states are facilitated by the united states. end of the environment today, where we see, particularly in the region from packet and in the east all the way across what we have traditionally called the middle east or the northern tier of africa, so much instability and ordering across all the measures of power. there's never been a time in my mind for the strategic global leadership of the united states has been more important. not just to buttress, not just to reinforce the order for which we can take justifiable credit at a time when it's really important to reservists and the stability he can, but also to exert our leadership and no specific areas in locations where we can have an outcome that can bring about stability and from that stability can bring order back to a particular region. so we shouldn't be questioning today whether there is a role for the united states to be a global leader or strategic leader. to me it's a non-question and i spent 42 years in uniform. so i've seen the crank turn several times. and in all that

their biggest goal is to do us harm in the united states. if they are capable of doing that, their main goal is really to attract disadvantaged youth and brainwash them and that is where we need to come in and stop that before it happens. that should be our main concern, doing more work internally in the united states and treat al-shabaab as we are treating al qaeda. >> al-shabaab has capability to conduct external operations outside of somalia. they have an interest in targeting the united states, its embassies, its citizens, kidnapping as well as killing and they have been recruiting in american communities including over the internet so you put all three of those together they should be a concern. >> we talked about potential threat to the homeland but there are important substantial u.s. interests in east africa, kenya, an important ally to the united states, nairobi is home to largest embassy in africa, the hub for development programs that cross the region. many big u.s. firms have regional offices in kenya so irrespective of al-shabaa

the united states just realized aid for security assistance. joining us now to discuss the american-pakistani relationship and u.s. drone policy is david sedni. from new york fisa patel at the brennan center for justice. and the director of the atlantic council's south asia center. thanks to you all for being here. david, we'll start with you. how realistic is it to say that we want to see more transparency transparency. >> they operate in areas that the united states hasn't the ability to operate in any other way. for them to be effective they need to be secret. >> but they play so poorly in terms of the public relations. we'll hear from the prime minister of pakistan but we're hearing from the citizens of pakistan. we heard from the teenager who met with president obama this month, and one message she had was that drone strikes are harming relationships and creating more terrorists. what is the opinion of pakistan cities. >> the pakistanis who don't live in the affected area are opposed to drone strikes because that is the message that they'v

states and the sources outside of the united states. and also an agreement has proof to be reliable implemented. and it's scientific research and -- [inaudible] in the future we will see more and more interaca on the development. because the united states and russia understand the that in the long-term we will have to develop new generation that will be more proliferation resistant and inherently safe. and i would label that kind of cooperation with this particular field. field that tom alluded to. >> thank you. when -- [inaudible] by young experts interest to them global -- that's what they to have -- this is a result. the position but and i -- for you the u.s.-russian relations now. i think we have to get through this. and new concept what it should be. i agree there are a lot of positive things because of nature and people -- [inaudible] for instance i agree that success but not because of character of international relations but the vision a lot of things was done because the ambassador here during his -- [inaudible] russian republi

the united states got greements three. ne, two, in russia it is called peaceful relationship -- something that wasn't available between the united states and soviet union for decades. and it entered into force three years ago, and it opened huge from bothossibilities countries both in terms of supply of uranium. by the way, we are supplying uranium today to your country as a result of an agreement expiring this year. it is for 10 years. e were using uranium extracted from nuclear wares, the energy level, to feed your electric system. the head of russian aatomic energy told me in terms of the kilowatt roduces -- produced, it is probably the biggest supplier from energy outside of the united states. it is a good agreement. it has proved to be reliably implemented, and it is expiring, but it doesn't mean that we -- we still are working together, but it will be a normal commercial basis. we also see increased interaction between our specific research institutions. and i hope in the future we will see more 0 development on seis

well, and were trained in the united states. there's a large group of leadership, disturbingly, including many of the younger leaders who do not have that kind of close, intimate contact with the outside world at all. much less with the west and much less with the united states. this is a problem. in fact, their lack of experience leads them to take some rather remarkable positions, and to misunderstand washington and to misunderstand u.s. politics. so i frankly think that there are a lot of barriers to having close relationships between the two governments. but what about correct relations? all during the years of calm -- almost all the years to the cold war, the united states and the soviet union had correct relations. not good relations, but correct relations. and that kind of correct relations can be very useful for defusing tensions and also for allowing people to people contact, even if the two governments disagree. and so let us ask, what is the possibility that we can achieve at least that level of rapprochement where we

that the united states is unique unique nation. and sometimes they talk about it in different ways. previously president obama made a lengthy statement about that i think in strasbourg two or three years ago where he said well we believe that we are unique greece may believe that it is unique etc etc but i think with all due respect present obama was a little coy at that point describing this problem because of course in the united states it's more than that part of the kind of american ideology is that is the believe that the united states is really this has got something right to be or an obligation to be above everybody else and therefore to like in various situations dictate the terms of events and in fact the latest round of discussion on this matter and president putin's article was prompted by. by the fact that president obama mentioned that in the context of his intention on the intention of the united states to use force outside of the framework of international law that of course is very dangerous when. we all can think a

states it isn't just the united states that. that's looking at this negatively it's the whole world it's looking at this negative in regard to these spying allegations against a homer call and we've heard him about against brazil and mexico and france now what do you make of claims that come from the administration and defenders the administration that this is a messy world everyone is spying on everyone friends spy on everyone it's just the u.s. that got caught well. i say i say baloney and now you're back to just show me that show me the results of why this world is so much safer for everything that you're doing and that aside look i don't think this is constitutional and and yes you would argue that it is constitutional because a judge rule holds that you can go ahead and garner evidence from one hundred thirteen million verizon users to me that is not the fourth amendment that is not targeted law enforcement that's not a judge looking over some law enforcement shoulder that is a blanket. abuse of of what. and a lot to proces

that man is now in the united states. had just been delivered to the united states just a short time ago. according to the reporting of the associated press. we spoke with our jennifer griffin in washington about this as well. what is he suspected of doing? he was involved in a 1998 bombings of the u.s. embassies in libya. it's our understanding. he would be the second person tried since the attacks of 9/11. he allegedly conducted photo surveillance here in the united states -- well, at the african embassies through osama bin laden before they were bombed in 1998. we don't know exactly where he is but we know he's been indicted here in new york for about ten years. officials insisted on anonymity because they weren't authorized to discuss this publicly. u.s. special forces snatched al liby during a raid in libya a week ago saturday. the breaking news today is he is in the united states, one of the fbi most wanted on the terror list for many years is here and ready to be tried. gretchen, back to you. >> very concontroversi

vice president of the united states and had national security access. did you know the chancellor's phone was being listened to. >> charlie, if it was, i wouldn't talk about it. >> rose: okay. hypothetical. would it have been okay with you if you believe somehow you might learn something from her or is there a risk of doing great disservice to a relationship that overrides that? >> i don't do hypotheticals. >> rose: i understand. it's okay if the chancellor of germany listens on your cell phone. is that all right. >> i have assumed over the years when i travel overseas that there's that possibility. >> rose: so tell me how you balance this idea of how far you go in the interest of national security and where it goes too far. >> well, obviously we face that and especially in the aftermath of 9/11 when we're talking about powers and that fine line between protecting privacy. and collecting the data we needed in order to be able to defend the country. and you have to make judgments. you've got some places you can look. there are treaties out there for exam

states to be involved it wouldn't go she with the united states because the united states is the crying power it does not want kabul does not want the afghan government involved of course karzai understandably wants this to be a quote unquote afghan led process and that's that's a divide that has not been bridged yet and quite frankly if that's not divided if that's not bridge then you know you have to link this to the to the new world to the future of the u.s. military in afghanistan because car as i said that unless there's a peace process led by the afghan government he's not going to negotiate a security agreement to allow the u.s. to stay there after twenty fourteen so this is something that people around here in washington don't in my view don't really make that link enough because there's a pretty good chance that we may not have much of a presence military presence in the country by the end of next year ok lynn maybe after twelve years that's not a bad thing to happen. well the war on terrorism has been incoherent from the start you know it's now being. presented as a war agains

i mean what other superpower is there so i think you know i do think the united states ought to take this seriously because quite honestly the saudis don't do this very often i agree and when they do this in good appears to be a very orchestrated way that they're really kind of sending a message now are they are they are they really serious about diversifying and i think that's a more of an open question look if i was running saudi arabia and i was going to create new geo strategic relationships you know being in the middle east that's like doing a trap piece act you know like go the trapeze until you've got something to grab onto and so i'm not sure i would be i would do that in a in a have an open messy public divorce and had already had kind of figured out well so i'm going to do so whether this is punishing the united states as opposed to a real geo strategic shift. if i was a betting guy kind of bet on the punishment the notion that there's a cataclysmic shift not sure there's enough evidence for that if that does happen the problem for the saudis for doing that is. the middle e

when you have surveillance going on in united states, it is not just the united states that is looking at this negatively. it is the whole world that is looking at this negatively. >> regarding these dying allegations against angela merkel and brazil and mexico and france now, what do make of the claims by the administration that this is a messy world and everyone is spying on everyone. friends spy on a new -- on everyone. it's just u.s. they got caught. >> i say baloney. now you're just back to show me the results of why this world is so much safer for every in you are doing. that aside, look, i don't think this is constitutional. yes, you would argue that it is constitutional because a judge rules. you can go ahead and garner evidence from 113 million verizon users? to me, that is not the fourth amendment. that is not targeted law enforcement. that is not a judge looking over some law enforcement's shoulder. that is a blanket abuse of what to do process should be. >> a lot of members of congress are waking up to that. we see momentum building for an essay reform. you have people like

states and is not the entering united states? >> i don't know the percentage that have entered via that way. >> we have any evidence of anyone who is center that why? >> i can't speak to that. >> you have any information of any name or person who has been arrested in the united states? >> i can check and get back to on that. >> would the please because i would like to know that. it's usually used as an excuse that the border is so porous and it seems to be mostly landscapers and it seems most of the people who become terrorists or those who arrive in this country through some sort of visa where we threw our generosity as a nation take a look at some horrible event that has happened around the world and we allow people to come here on a humanitarhumanitar ian basis and unfortunately and scandalously they become terrorist sympathizers. i think we should go after them and show them no mercy really. when the united states stretches out its hand for friendship as we have historically we should not tolerate any sort of terrorist activi

. >> the reality is the nsa has saved thousands of lives not only the united states but in france and germany and throughout europe. the french are ones to talk. the fact is they carried out spying operations against united states both the government and industry. >> a much different thought though from democratic senator jean sheheen. she called for the government to come clean about its surveillance program. >> i think the revelations from snowden and the secrets that have been revealed are doing significant damage to our bilateral ription relationshipsh germany with mexico with the other countries where the suggestion is we've listened in. so i think we have repair work to do and we have hard questions we need to ask about the nsa about what is really happening in this program. >> and earlier we spoke with jim walsh at the massachusetts institute of technology about whether the u.s. should apologize for the nsa. >> he's not president of the united states, he doesn't have to meet angela merkel when she is really mad at him. do the french spy? yes they do. do the germans spy? yes the

the united states senate. critics of the treaty, most 3r078 ineptly the gun lobby in washington claim that somehow the obama administration will use this treaty as a back-door method to impose gun control in the united states. so they explained the treat use would violate the second amendment and infringe upon or constitutional right to bear arms, except that this is simply factually wrong. here are the compact words from the treaty as it stands. the treaty affirms, quote, the sovereign right of any state to regulate and control conventional arms inclusively within its territory pursuant to its own legal or constitutional system, end quote. sounds pretty clear to me. the issue is not about gun control. this is about stopping dictators from acquiring tanks, missiles and attack helicopters that can kill tens of thousands in a day. it's about making it harder for terrorism groups to buy extremely dangerous weapons. the other broader is that treaties are not enforceable, about you they do make it harder for really

is very important trade partner for the united states if growth in the united states slows down which is the likely outcome of. government shutdown definitely the whole world will software simply because of strong interest of the united states through financial markets and in the case of such important countries like china through trade flows in the longer term blood depends on the strength of justice i don't think. china brazil india or russia for example if we diversify if we decrease the amount of exposure to size stated we maybe feel this is a longer time started yet. well just a reminder you can always get more information on everything we're covering by heading to our website you can log on to r.t. dot com to learn more about how the government shutdown will impact america. right now we can get more reaction from kitty pilgrim who is the host of artie's venture capital show a business program. look. we know that congress is deadlocked over spending but what is it costing america the most at the moment one of the projects that the most expensive the most costly but it's a real co

states with the degree to which the rest of the world is invested in the united states why do you think those assets that you are investing in will still be safe well remember if i'm looking for a dollar collapse where the dollar really loses its role as a reserve currency or is that is significantly marked down in value that's a very different situation because of i own the currencies or assets outside the u.s. they're going to automatically rise in value but what you have to understand is right now the america is a net drain on the global economy because we consume more than we produce we're borrowing more than we save which. means the rest of the world has to suffer because they have to support this they have to subsidize this and so when the dollar goes down and america's loot americans lose their personal power advantage relative to everybody else the world is now going to be awash in resources awash in consumer goods that were previously being used by americans are now going to be freed up and enjoyed by other people so it's not terrible for the people who have been bearing the bu

department or the united states. i think that there are other countries that we know of, including china, which we have discussed here, that is gathering strength as well from becoming part of the world powers that we all have to deal with. and to some extent they may have diminished the bipolar nature of the cold war relationship in which we find ourselves in at this time. and not all polls are equal. and i don't mean your neighbors, but in fact not all countries are equal but necessarily those that play in the larger fields are significantly more important and i think each of us is trying to develop a set of relationships that deals with that and they have a complex web as we go ahead. i don't think that the u.s. and russia and china were any set of individual relationships have gone to the two against one phrase at the 3-year-old level in the park, necessarily succumbing to that. but i do think that in many ways this presents unusual and unique challenges and i do not dispute the conclusions that sergei kislyak re

and the united states. anderson on this one are joined live from brussels by glenn ford he's a former member of the european parliament mr ford welcome to art see it's very good to see here with us so talking about this latest n.s.a. scandal why exactly would the u.s. be spying on the leader of a country that has long been a very close ally. but they routinely spying on everybody and everything why i mean angela merkel surprised that they're listening to her conversations who do they think the u.s. was spying on the local taxi drivers to berlin. while most people who are at the top i mean if you're spying on your allies which the u.s. has been doing you're clearly by angela merkel part of the whole and the president the prime minister's all the other member states of the european union and we frankly i'm surprised at how slow the reaction is being and i believe that you've been pushed into it by public opinion more than anything else because there's nothing new in the last few days but increasingly public o

. >> the phone call happened around 10:45 on the east coast on in the united states. the president called john boehner and a fairly one-sided call if you listen the various accounts according to white house officials. the president said what he has been saying all along he is not going to negotiate on a debt ceiling or continuing resolution to reopen the federal government with strings attached. so he urged the speaker to get something passed out of the house that would reopen the government and raise the nation's debt ceiling. but the memo from white house officials about this call goes on to say that the president is willing to talk about some of these priorities that republicans have. he is willing to talk about the budget. he is willing to talk about health care reform, but he wants to do it outside of this threat of a government shutdown and of a debt default. now one thing we do want to pass on, the president is holding a news conference at 2:00 in the afternoon here on the east coast at the white house. that he will be taking some questions and so we will have

not just companies based in the united states. honda is betting on america by expanding in ohio, alabama, and indiana. today more hondas are made in america than any place else in the world. samsung is betting on america by revamping their plant in austin, texas, a $4 billion investment. siemens betting on america by hiring hundreds of new workers in north carolina and putting $50 million a year in training its u.s. workforce. that's the kind of investment we've always welcomed as a nation but the reason for select usa is we know we can do more. we know we can be better. two years ago i acted on a recommendation from the ceos on my jobs council and we created select usa to encourage more foreign companies to invest and create jobs right here in the united states. we've shown that this works. as penny mentioned earlier this morning with help from select usa, the austrian company is creating 220 jobs in an auto parts plant in cartersville, georgia. canadian company bombardier is investing $600 million to expand its learjet facility

states to ensure any chance of freedom and it was not his plan to end up here it was united states made him stimulus by revoking his passport and russia to its credit recognized international law and granted political asylum given everything that's happened over the last couple of years with the snowden eccentric cetera as it will become an easier place to be a whistleblower of the question is often else what do you think ali. i don't know that it's become easier i mean i think that there are countries that you can still go to and speak out freely i think in the united states and we all their fingers crossed right now that there will be some reforms because without integrity i mean it's the beginning of the and you really have to have freedom of press freedom of association so we're all we're all have cautious optimism that we can actually have reform right now but i think it's thirty five years in prison i was charged under the same elsewhere and i was shocked that it was sort of start. and i was a fortunately i was able to hold off the government and remain free otherwise i wouldn't b
