you are against u.s. intervention in syria but when the leader of the free world draws a line in the sand and there are no consequences when that line is crossed, what good is the word of that leader? >> i just want to say that obama has not really seeing the people killed for two years and there were 200,000 people killed. 1.6 refugees, 7.7, they were displaced. they were young people who went into damascus in detention and punished by the regime. the international community didn't do anything. >> are you suggesting obama lacked credibility? >> obama, the red line for mr. obama was only when the use of chemical weapons. because that's a risk or a kind of danger for the national security of the have national world, what about the national security of the syrian people? and i think that the action of america should be about prevention of the use of this chemical weapon, not the intervention but through punishing the person, the individual, the official in the regime whether it's bashar al-assad or anyone e

the u.s. intervention that might actually break the regime or shift the balance of force in the civil war. i don't think it is likely to start with that in mind but i do see that it could potentially escalate further down the line into that sort of operation. , they haveiran always struck me as highly risk- averse, very cautious despite their fervent ideology and rhetoric. isir greatest asset here their military capability in the region. if they do perceive that the regime is falling or is in danger of being defeated, i think hezbollah is the first thing they would activate. would they do this against the israelis? yes, i think so. even though hezbollah itself is highly constrained, fighting in syria, trying to cover their backs in lebanon, this is one of the few scenarios i would imagine that they would be compelled by their own interest as well as by iran to fight the war. that would mean raising the cost u.s. and its allies of intervention against the regime. the other thing the iranians ma

from what i understand you support their original u.s. version of events that it was carried out attack on august twenty first but it would seem to me that it's a suicidal an admiral a stupid move on behalf of asset who was actually starting to defeat the rebels at the time of the attack what makes you believe it was him have you seen any solid proof. well i agree with that reasoning i think it was the disastrous decision on the part of us not and that's why i think you're on the most go we thought it couldn't have been him but the evidence that is gradually coming forward i think know this points to him i don't think we should project went on it until we had the reports all of the international inspectors the u.n. inspectors they are not asked to say who committed it but even so we must we have appointed we have sent inspectors and we should listen to them and maybe one can draw some conclusions also about hers was ability i am inclined to think that so much as come also for independent sources to believe that yes the regime was behind t

many saw u.s. president who backed away from his own red lines who was indecisive at a key moment who not only possess chemical weaponings but employed them against their own people. government officials who were warned in advance by the white house of this were quick to point out that going to congress, part of the american democracy, trying to smooth things over, but the decision last week by the british parliament ruling out any response to syria's chemical case was seen as a bad omen. uncertain over whether any u.s. action would go ahead. the army said it's staying on alert. nearly half of israelis think they will be a likely target from syria or one of its allies. when ever that strike were to take place. >> thanks. keeping our eyes around the world and reaction to what's taking place. >> indeed. there's a lot of people wondering, 12 days after this attack and with a lot of people doubting what it could achieve and the russian doubts and what's the point now. time is moving on. it's nearly two

the thing that one of the u.s. policies was to divide us by this thing by blood quantum, and that created a situation where hawaiians are separated whether you're 50% blood quantum or less. that's one way to divide and conquer a people. that's one thing that the hawaiian people have in common with the indigenous people of the continent, it was deployed to divide the people into natives who can get land and natives who can't. it's always about controlling the land resources of the people. in hawai'i it's a very strategic place for the united states who views hawai'i, the u.s. government has always viewed hawai'i as a sacrifice zone and a place to build up their military to control from the pacific. so in that sense we have things in common with other native peoples except geographically we are located in a place that is very strategic for the united states. but they use some of the same policies on us. >> we're going to talk more about the location. also when we come back we'll talk about improving the rights of nat

leader said that all options are on the table to ensure u.s. national security interests in the middle east he also told the world body that thinking syria could go to a pre-war status quo is something of a fantasy he said that it's time for russia and iran to realize that insisting on the charlotte rule would lead to further extremism now that's that's a part of his speech that deserves some fact checking because. moscow has always maintained support for the syrian people is always said that it's up to them to decide the fate of their future and the future of bashar al assad's presidency but moscow has also said that this should be done without outside forces now obama's also also went on to tell the international community that he believes america must be engaged in the middle east for its own security and insists that the world benefits when the u.s. is involved he once again alluded to american exceptionalism when saying that the u.s. stands up for the interests of all however the american leader did say that washington . is far more likely

and the u.s. fed and other monetary authorities from this extraordinary period of monetary easing, which they also were uncomfortable with precisely because it created these sorts of financial risks. the advanced countries will probably push back that those things, those reactions in the markets are, first of all, a natural consequence of strategies by these countries, the u.s. and japan and european countries, to keep the economies growing, and inevitably, these policies are going to have to end. they will also argue that a lot of the problems in emerging markets are homegrown, so the problems in india or brazil or other countries are - as i say, are homegrown. this issue is not going to be resolved, but i'd say, on balance - and i would - and i think it's fair to say, also, that there is, as that little discussion has just revealed, that there is not the same sort of sense of consensus and shared sense of crisis in the group, although i think the sense of crisis generally may be starting to pick
