do you think greece should carry on cutting in the way brussels is asking? " thethey have to stop," he tells me. "there will be trouble. people do not have anything more to give." a large number of people are expected to vote on parties that want to turn their back on the brussels-imposed austerity. if that happens, there are those who fear this country could be charting a very different course, one that takes it out of the euro, with all the massive implications for this continent that that would bring. wind your way around this country and you find exhaustion. greece is defeated, crumbling. that is changing politics. the same old faces have governed here for decades. in the local council, they know the two main parties who pushed through the cuts are now losing support. the new mayor, an independent, does not believe anyone has the vision to save his country. >> the plan is to win the election. it is the plan for 15 days. we want a plan for the next 15 years and we do not have anything. >> what they need is growth, but the orange groves are about the only

he rejects the culture of austerity in braced by brussels. we are writing a new page in the history of the left, he tells the crowd. what are the key ideals he stands for? >> redistribution of wealth. we want tax is to apply 100% over 350,000 euros a year. >> in the first round of the election on sunday, the far left on the far right could get more than 30% of the vote. what they have both done is to tap into the air anger with the economic crisis. >> the left and right in france. to stonehenge, like you have never seen it before. the prehistoric monument is one of the world's most famous sites. today, a bouncy castle and a replica of it was unveiled in glasgow. it was commissioned for the london olympics. our courts correspondent -- our arts correspondent was there to have a balance. >> there is a new arrival on the skyline. it is an artwork by a prize- winning artist. the real stonehenge is 5000 years old and a sacred site. this replica is called sacrilege. after its unveiling, it will head to london. what is all this about? what is more br

he rejects the culture of austerity embraced by brussels. "we are writing a new page in the history of the left," he tells the crowd. what are the ideals he stands for? >> a strong redistribution of wealth. we want taxes to apply 100% over 350,000 euros a year of income. >> in the first round of the election on sunday, the far left and far right could get over more than 30% of the vote. what they have both done is to tap into the anchor with the economic crisis. >> passions running high on the left and right in france. now to stonehenge, like you have never seen it before. the pre historic monument is one of the world's most famous sites. today, a bouncy council replica was unveiled in glasgow. designed by a turner prize- winning artist, it was commissioned for the london olympics, to represent britain's history, culture, and sense of humor. our hearts correspondent was there. >> there is a new arrival on the galapagos islands -- the glass go skyline, and artwork by a prize-winning artist. and it is bouncy. the real stonehenge is 5000 years

in brussels, belgium, u.s. secretary of state hillary clinton condemned the violence. >> it is obviously quite concerning that while we are deploying these monitors pursuant to a security council resolution that confirms our commitment to kofi annan's six point plan, the guns of the assad regime are once again firing in homs, idlib and elsewhere and syrians continue to die. >> sreenivasan: clinton said syria has reached a turning point, and she warned of new pressure on the government, unless it relents. at least 22 soldiers died today in growing border fighting in east africa, between sudan and south sudan. there have been almost daily battles since south sudan seized the oil town of heglig, last week. sudan today demanded an immediate withdrawal. south sudan claimed its independence last summer, but the border was never settled, and the two sides never agreed on sharing the region's oil wealth. in the u.s. presidential campaign, president obama and mitt romney traded criticisms over economic policy. the presi

the defense secretary in brussels saying the actions depicted violated american rules and core values. >> this is war. i know that war is ugly, and it is violent. i know that young people sometimes caught up in the moment make some very foolish decisions. i am not excusing that, i am not excusing that behavior, but neither do i want these images to bring further injuries to our people or to our relationship with the afghan people. >> the american military's reputation in afghanistan is on the line. in january, a video showed a range urinating on the dead bodies of afghan insurgents. in february, violence erupted when its was thrilled that koran had been burnt by accident. in march, a u.s. army sergeant was killing -- and charged with killing 17 afghan civilians. the administration says the strategy in afghanistan is clear, the latest episode is ugly and embarrassing, but it is unlikely to change much. >> as the military deals with this latest setback on the ground in afghanistan, nato ministers maintained the war is still on track. hopes that the afghans will be able to take responsib

line in your story, one of your stories in which you said voters feel like they are choosing between brussel sprouts and liver. both of which i happen to like. but not everybody. >> not everybody. and people just don't know. there are a lot of people who we talked to this week all across ohio, and say, look, i voted for obama last time. president obama last time. i don't like him. i don't really get a good feeling for this romney guy which is why this is going to in some ways, it's a big campaign about big things and also become a small campaign. because there aren't -- in some people's minds a ton of difference in terms of what they can do for their lives. gwen: thank you, jeff. thank you, jim. that ka-ching you hear is the sound of candidates tonight counting their money. new reports out today show both president obama and governor romney are raking it in from different sources and spending it, too. on different things. what do the tallies tell us about the state of the campaign? jean? -- jeanne? >> what these latest reports indicate is romney is starting from a very deep hole. he's -- he

niches where people would want that kind of car but it probably looks a lot more at home in downtown brussels or paris than it does in indianapolis. that type of car i think was a problem. >> reporter: but the mayor, who still has hopes for a think come back, touts the car's advantages. >> it's not a toy, it's not a plaything, it's a real car. as you can see it operates very very well. the steering is good and all of this operates with no gasoline, no bad exhaust emissions. it's all done on a battery. >> reporter: indiana has invested millions of state and federal dollars into creating an infrastructure for electric vehicles. indianapolis has 100 short and long term public charging stations. paul mitchell heads a consortium of clean tech energy companies that have pushed hard for more electric vehicles. but even he admits that developing a brand new car is tough. >> it's going to continue to be an uphill battle to build a car from the ground up in a global industry where there's major automakers that have years of experience and deep supply chains that advantage them. >> ironically as the ecl

before christmas, i was in a panel in brussels with the ambassador who is the iranian representative to the iaea and there was one thing that the two of us agreed. this is that we are probably the only persons in the world who have read all those reports. because they all so different to read. let's go back to the iranian nuclear program. the concern about it for a number of reasons, and maybe the biggest reason is that iran conducted this clandestine enrichment two decades without fulfilling its reporting requirements to the iaea. and moreover, actually irandy verted nuclear matter which it never reported. this is a classical diversion of nuclear material. it also accepted nuclear material from the safeguards and went and did some additional experiments for this. here is lesson number one. that it is called a spade a spade, called black a black, but you never heard that the iaea say that nuclear material was d diverted. the reason was when it came into the light of the international community the reason for that was that the agency didn't call it diversion and noncompliance, because

i was at a nato meeting in brussels and the -- i read in the paper that the belgium parliament passed a law that allowed any one in the u.s. military to be prosecuted in foreign courts. and i thought my goodness, that means we can't have military people go to belgium where nato is. if -- if any rogue prosecutor can decide he wants to enhance his public image he can file a lawsuit which he did against general franks as i recall, and so i called in the defense minister of belgium and not being a diplomat i was not very diplomatic. and i explained that nato didn't have to be in belgium. and that we didn't have to be in belgium. and within a matter of weeks the legislation was defeated, nullified, withdrawn, and it stopped. but it happens all over the world. and my view is, it's a danger particularly not just for us but for the world. think of the contribution our military made in the tsunami in india. indonesia years back. think about the earthquake that took place in pakistan. our people did a superb humanitarian job. any time the u.n. or international organization has to deal with the

. >> as you know in brussels, hillary clinton calling for another round of sanctions. what has been imposed in the past, and is there any sense that a new round of sanctions would be any more effective. >> sanctions are certainly, you know, weakened the regime. affected the regime in many ways in its ability to import and its ability to export its products. but it is also true that sanctions on their own are not going to, you know, succeed in toppling the regime without any other action. this is a regime which is -- in arabic we have a saying that he who is drowning will not be afraid to get wet. so sanctions are not going on their own to effect the regime's willingness to shoot its own people in order to survive. >> what is life like inside syria, and do the average syrians fully understand what's been happening in villages and towns like homs? >> i would say the majority of the population is against assad's regime but that is not to say that there aren't some minorities that still support it for one reason or the other. the business community does not want to lose it

well, if i understand you correctly, you're suggesting to the rest of europe, particularly berlin and brussels, to close both their eyes in case they miss the deficit targets because you think it will be dangerous and it would be bad for those economies to pursue some additional fiscal belt-tightening? do i understand you correctly? also, because, basically, if they miss those targets they will also miss the rules, or break the rules, of the upcoming fiscal combine. >> as i underscored, there is a risk involved in focusing too much in balances. the fiscal balances not adjusted for the cycle. but that we have to keep in mind that the balanced budget rule that based on the fiscal compact has to be implemented in your area country is the defined in structural terms. so the fact that more and more countries in europe should focus on achieving targets on structural bashgszis, i think i acknowledged in the european union. regarding a specific target, i underscored a strong uncertainty regarding gdp growth in these countries. but i think that particularly for 2013, focusing on targets rather than see

i'm actually going to brussels next week to meet with nato. one of the agenda items is in fact, operation unified protection. what we've got to do is we've got to be candid with each other. i can assure you i will be about what they can reasonably expect us to provide. what nay need to provide in terms och isr, the analysis, fusion of intelligence and operations. and investments that hay need to make in order to close some gaps that here to for they've relied almost exclusively on us to provide. i actually see this as a positive thing. >> general, what do you think are the greatest risks if the united states intervenes? >> in syria? >> yes. >> first of all, you know, on occasion i've been portrayed as saying this would just be too hard, so let's not do it. i want to assure you, that's not the case. if asked to do something, we absolutely have the capability. but in terms of my concerns and how they would translate into military vices i have to be very clear about the military objectives that i was being asked to achieve, and i'd have to be cle
