did angela merkel respond to that today? in a sense, i suppose she did, but she called for a tightening of the fiscal rules, according to which europe is governed. she wants those rules to be made more binding. she even said eu treaties could be written to make them more specific, as she put it, i which she meant stricter, forcing european countries to meet their fiscal obligations. >> along these lines, the chancellor is in france right now. is this visit about her concerns that parents is not sufficiently committed to cutting costs? >> i supposed to an extent, yes, but there have been problems are quite sometime. we could go back to nicolas sarkozy still being the french president. he and merkel did not get on. people hoped the relationship would improve when franÇois hollande came into office. it did not. part of the reason was that franÇois hollande is someone who is tempted to try to spend france's way out of its woes, whereby at the same time, angela merkel, her mantra is really budgetary discipline. numeral eating o

the finance minister angela merkel's right hand man stays in his post. i suppose you could say he's the second-most powerful politician. it's that partnership which shapes germany's economic policy. it also shapes german policy towards the weaker countries in the eurozone and has been what has characterised policy throughout the crisis. that won't change, the policy carries on. >> ukrainian president viktor yanukovych is heading to the kremlin to sign an agreement with president vladimir putin. the two governments are continuing to negotiate terms for closer economic ties. thousands of e.u. protesters are gathering. they are angry the government decision to turn down a trade pact and favouring ties with russia. with the e.u. and ukraine deal would not harm relations. >> we think ukraine, having had years of negotiation with the european union for the association agreement, and having made a political decision in the parliament and amongst the political leadership should sign it. and signing it would not have a detrimental effect with relationships with r

the spd wants a public spending boost at a time when angela merkel says she is for austerity. she will not be able to have things entirely her way. her third term may be her most challenging yet. some soldiers have been killed when there was a foiled coup attempt, with at least 10 senior politicians arrested along with the former finance minister. it is said that the vice president that was sacked in july was responsible for the rest, and thousands are seeking shelter. the french foreign minister says other countries from the european union are prepared to send troops to the central african republic. france has deployed 1600 troops to its former colony to try to stop the fighting between christian and muslim militias. tens of thousands of people have been displaced by the violence in recent months, and last week, two soldiers have been killed. belgium has already agreed to send reinforcements. >> in the central african republic, they were to distribute food to people who have had nothing to eat for days. >> this crisis is far from over. presence of african and french troops ha

>> yeah, i think to angela's point. obama did in her office with this promise of a new type of politics. what we've seen is the opposite. at least in the past with clinton or bush or reagan or carter, you saw them have a solid relationship with their own party. and what manchin pointed out, a democrat senator from west virginia, he's pointing out that they don't even have a good relationship or obama doesn't have a good relationship with his own party. what that brings about is probably the earliest lame duck presidency in american history because he doesn't have that relationship. last week he didn't even trust his own party to fix the hardship exemption. i think when you see that a president doesn't even have the type of relationship with his party to be able to govern, then it really brings about this breakdown we've never seen before between the president and the senate. >> when republican leadership, and you see this both of you, angela and chris, when you see republican leadership in the house that is also not wor

angela and i were at an event with putin several months ago. and putin went out of his way to be magnan muss with o bam -- obama after he-- he wanted to say no, obama had choices, he made courageous choice, principal choice, he does not want to create an impression that the russian lead kerr not work with the president of the united states. >> woodruff: angela stent, why is that, go ahead. >> i would say that is after making a decision to give snowden temporary political asylum which made sense, a wonderful prop band-- propaganda coup which says the u.s. has no right to criticize russia for listening to its own citizens phone calls since the united states does that itself. he could have not given him asylum, he did. after that obviously president obama decided that he was to the going to go and have a sum wit president putin. and in fact, since snowden has been in russia, tremendous damage has been done to the united states's relations with its european allies. i mean the worst for a very, very long time. and these are all revelations that come

angela merkel announcing a new cabinet. >> it looks like angela merkel had to concede quite a lot of ground to get to them on board. how is she being viewed after this. >> this is a big document. , some people are saying it could be another triumph for her because if they put into place what the concessions involve like the minimum wage, angela merkel has a talent for actually taking credit for proposals that come from the opposition. does that, she can increase popularity even more. >> thanks, david. >> a family business for the rich and famous. this is one of the last family owned luxury jewelers. now it is looking to expand. >> this is in the third generation. this is designing and crafting jewelry for the rich and famous. the ceo sees himself as an ambassador for italian style. has deep concerns about the traditional european market. >> in italy, the rich people are old. so, they have already made these kinds of investments. isinstead, the jeweler turning to central and east asia. polity and italian heritage is an asset that people will pay extra for. >> they have a high-quality

the republicans will have a really good shot there. >> angela, do you agree? >> as richard stated her whole resume, we have a lot of things to run against hillary on. not only her policy as a senator, but also what she did as secretary of state. but also what her husband did during the clinton years. do we want four more years of bill clinton being first spouse? i do believe she will run. remember that barbara walters interview? she's going to run -- >> what about health care, angela, you didn't mention that but, you know, the first lady at the time, hillary clinton, had some ideas about health care. it was somewhat unique for a first lady to take such a strong position on such an important issue. now, she will have to explain away the obama care debacle. >> that's what she's trying to do. she's doing this political two-step jamie where she is trying to distance herself from the president's unpopular policies. still, she has to play to that base. she is going to have to explain would she have supported obama care and when she was first lady. she wanted sociali

angela merkel is in paris for her first visit since being sworn in. and another twist in a corruption scandal. two police chief sent been sacked following high-profile arrests of three government ministers. kate is starting with the announcement from the federal reserve, what everyone has an waiting for. >> it the moment everyone has been waiting for. it is paper time in washington. the federal government announced it will start easing back stimulus measures. they will be spending about 75 billion instead of 85. this is because of a strengthening job market in the u.s. the fed is predicting unemployment will fall faster saysyear to 3.7% and interest rates will remain low. we heard cautious optimism from ben bernanke as he explains the situation. >> today's policy actions reflect the assessment the economy is continuing to make progress but that the economy has much further to travel. the job market continues to improve with unemployment having climbed further. the recovery is far from complete with unemployment still elevated and long-term unemploymen

angela? >> yes. i thought you were going to raise another question. >> no, unemployment is something you were mentioning earlier and also shaking your head at part of the idea that republicans here may have been brushed back. >> sure. i think, again, since sitting here thinking about the fact that you said he was hitting back against heritage. we don't know that. all of this hits the fan. they have held congress hostage all year long. so there are some other dynamics we don't know about. we do know for sure that unless there are some decisions made, there will be unemployed people right after christmas that aren't going to really know what to do. and the only thing that the republicans are saying is, right after this, folks, we're back to repealing obama care, as usual. that's the one thing they know how to do. boehner said he wanted to be judged by how many bills he repeals. he's going to fail tattoo. >> yeah, he's got that one bill he's not actually repealing very effects effectively. and we saw, o

they suffered a loss of support under angela merkel the first time around. they were seen as weak in giving away to her demands. this time around, the coalition -- social reforms, pension reforms, minimum wage -- how and when these will be implemented is going to be tricky over the next few years. is going toncellor, contentious for the chancellor. he will be keen to make his mark at his own legacy for himself over the next four years. do have toarties rule together as a coalition government. to be seen as a cohesive unit on the international stage as well. domestically they face a lot of problems over the next four years. the daunting task of overhauling the energy transition. the social reforms are going to be difficult to implement. for better or worse, these two parties are going to have to do it together. live from berlin. thank you very much indeed. in discriminant, arbitrary invasion. opponents of the national security agency could not have put it better themselves. a judge agrees. serious that raises doubts about the legality of the u.s. government's

i was thinking, as angela was talking. one is that he could pass an executive order that would improve the job quality of workers under federal contract. that's something i worked on when i was there, and that's kind of teed up. so i would go with that. here's a new idea. something i've been working on with a colleague named ross eisenbray. he would suggest we change regulations regarding overtime hours so more workers would be covered with overtime. that's another interesting executive order. i'll have more to say about that perhaps sometime when we can dig a little deeper into that one. >> all right. i think your phone might be ringing. the white house might want to -- til, both of you a call. thank you so much angela rye and jared bernstein. >>> coming up, the calls for action. the 911 tapes from the sandy hook shooting were released today. but will anything make our lawmakers listen when it comes to guns? turn to roc® retinol correxion®. one week, fine lines appear to fade. one month, deep wrinkles look smoother. aft

chancellor angela merkel expressed satisfaction that the compromise worked out with the spd. talks withto the very different ideas and it took a while. interesting -- you can look at the same issues in different ways. me, that is what makes life interesting. for me, the negotiations went well. >> the deal incorporates key campaign pledges of each party. the stp demands for a minimum wage will be instituted starting in 2015. they remained firm on their pledge not to raise taxes. leaders urgedt the party's rank-and-file to back the agreement in a referendum next week. >> the grand coalition has written agreements for regular people to carry out their responsibility every day area but there is a lot in it to stabilize the social balance. if the members accept the deal, chancellor angela merkel could be reelected to a third term in december. but if they are rejected, it will be over before it begins. >> italy's senate voted on wednesday to expel former prime minister silvio berlusconi following his conviction for tax fraud. that means he loses his parliamentary immunity and could

he is, after all, the seco- most popular politician in germany after angela merkel. the other one to watch is sigmund gabrielle, the chairman of the spd. he has reinforced his position as leader of the spd party. he becomes the vice chancellor but he also gets a very interesting ministry because they will be felt the economy ministry and also give him the portfolio for the whole transition from nuclear power to renewable energy. that is some of the key policy initiatives of this government. that is a very strong position for him. the other interesting to look member whoa cdu moves from labor ministry and takes over defense ministry. a very tricky ministry. things can go wrong. but she is being dubbed as the crown princess of german politics. if angela merkel were to step down, say, halfway through her third term, which has been speculated, potentially von der leyen might be groomed to take her place. >> she is pretty feisty. it will be interesting to see what she would do with the job. about -- he has always had a political element to his career and is taken a job ba

angela merkel's new government could be sworn into office on thursday. what do we know of the details of the deal? >> reporter: the details coming out so far, lauren, are pretty much what we had expected. angela merkel's cvu and her bar varian partners have the majority of the seats in the cabinet. they won the election. they have eight seats. the social democrats will take six seats. now, amongst the key positions of the social democrat will be given in the foreign ministry, and it will be frank steinmeyer. he was the foreign minimum strer in the first coalition angela merkel led in 2009, and he did rather bad in the general election running as chancellor against angela merkel in 2009. but she, obviously, remains as chancellor and crucially she and her party will keep control of the finance ministry and will ensure her right-hand man, her architect of economic policy and indeed policy towards the rest of euro zone will stay in his position. that's very important. >> in general terms how definite will this coalition be in policy terms? >> reporter: well,

angela mcglouen is a fox news political analyst. david and angela, good to see you. >> good to see you. >> how will this play out at the polls when you see numbers like that dealing with the independents? >> the bottom line is in 2010 republicans won the house on obama care and i believe that obama care is going to be a factor. the president's poll numbers are plummeting. and obama care's popularity is eroding. and independents want results. they want solutions. and democrats, they're not coming with any. republicans need to come with some but i think that independents are going to sway. look, to win the senate, we only need six seats to actually get the majority back. so i think that it is feasible. >> some of the democrats apparently are in trouble in some of those races. how do you interpret those numbers? >> as i see it, it's one of many polls, and it's one -- when you speak of independents, it's one of many voting blocs. there are women, african-americans, minorities, and the point is, that even with the recent governor's race

what kind of take do you look at this -- what prism do you look at this through, angela? >> the bottom line is this. are you better off today than you were four years ago? most americans that elected this president yet again, now they're having buyers remorse, because most americans are not better off. if you look at the unemployment rate at 7% but for the black community, last check, it was 13%. the hispanic community has not lowered that much and for women and young adults, if you have a college degree, kelly, most people don't have a job today, so people are looking at this situation and though the president is a great orator, a great politician, motivational speeches do not make a more prosperous america. >> when you look at the president, is it all his fault? does congress have something to do with this as well? >> i think you have to look at this in context. one is i think polling is a snapshot in type and right now the president is going through a rough patch. compared to republicans in congress and what their approval ratings are, the president is actually sky hig

but i don't think it's going to go too well for them. >> now, angela, before leaving for hawaii, the president kind of projected and looked ahead to 2014. listen to this. >> 2014 needs to be a year of action. we've got work to do to create more good jobs, to help more americans earn the skills and education they need to do those jobs and to make sure those jobs offer the wages and benefits that let families build financial security. we've got to build on the progress we painstakingly made over these past five years with respect to our economy and offer to the middle class and those looking to join the middle class a better opportunity. and that's going to be where i focus all of my efforts in the year ahead. >> he's going to focus all of his efforts to make these things happen, a year of action he said, angela. >> sure. and rev, we know that the widening gap between the rich and the poor is causing major challenges for our economy. so he's wise to focus there. but i also want to remind your viewers that this is not a new agenda for the president, rev. he said this during the state of

don't you think, angela? >> well, you know rev, the tea party reared its ugly head in 2010 because we have a black partisan. they're allergic to all kinds of "b" words like barack obama. and he's black. there's all these "b" words. so they are not in support of anything that would pass the house and give the president what they would deem as a win. we've seen them obstruct. we've seen them protest. we've seen them shut down the government. and we know that even though this is a very painful bill for even democrats, they are doing this because it's better than the alternative which is putting other families out. >> and they have started voting on this budget as we speak. it's expected to pass, but they have began voting. go ahead, angela. i'm sorry. >> you're okay. the vote will probably vote right around 6:20. what you will see on this bill is bipartisan support. you did see the democrats oppose the rule earlier today. the reason for that was it was a way for them to protest and say we're going to participate

i want to go back to elaborate on what angela said. here's what "duck dynasty" star said about growing up in louisiana in the jim crow era. quote, i never with my eyes saw the mistreatment of any black person. i hoed cotton with them. i'm with blacks because we're white trash. we're going across the field. they're singing and happy. pre-entitlement, pre-welfare. you say were they happy? they were godly. they were happy. what is christian, what is religious freedom about saying blacks were happy under jim crow? this has not to do with one's biblical analysis of anything to say that blacks were happy under jim crow is a christian position. is that what some of his defenders are saying? >> i think that they're trying to argue the other point about the references he made to homosexuality. what we know here is -- >> but that's not all he said. >> no, that's absolutely right. and that's part of the problem. i'm glad that your show and others are bringing this up because that's not the only offensive thing he said. for him to say blacks were

sorry, angela, ron. but the fact is that this is an administration that seems to have set out to show you how exactly not to fction in government, how to govern. or, they frankly do not have any clue how to do it. >> here is my take. there isross incompetence at the staff level. the president of the united states -- [inaudible conversations] >> wait a minute. wait a minute. gross incompetence at the staff level not being able to tell the president what he needs to hear and it is his ultimate responsibilityo hire the right pele.

her name is angela simpson. >> simpson i think is a very scary individual. she's probably the only one in there that i take every precaution in the world to make sure my staff and myself are safe. she is the one in this whole jail that creeps me out, for a better word. >> i was the first person on the crew to get introduced to angela simpson, and upon meeting her, the first things that came out of her mouth when i approached her, she pretty much told me to go "f" myself. for someone to say, go "f" yourself, it's like, all right, welcome to jail. >> simpson is a very scary person. she is just by the nature of her crimes and the way that she has been here and just her manners and that, she just doesn't seem to have a lot of those inhibition controls that most people would, and because of that she can be very much a threat to staff. so we have to keep her in a very controlled setting. >> simpson was accused of kidnapping, torturing and murdering a man she believed to be a police informant. she has then said to have dismembered the corpse, set it on fire and to

between could be -- russia and angela merkel? >> there could be ramifications. it depends on what he puts to of putin about the actions the kremlin. he has already told a russian magazine that he is still thinking of those who are left in jail. course, he is not a human rights campaigner. he is a former oligarch. there may be other reasons he does not want to speak out too much. that could bring strains between andrelationship with russia germany. up spending 10nd years in prison. once described as an economic force, he fell out with vladimir putin after he entered politics. fromve his trajectory tycoon two enemy of the state. in 2003.oubles started he was the richest man in russia and one of the wealthiest men in the world. he angered russian president laterally approved and when he complained about corruption in russia at the state owned oil company -- he angered russian president vladimir putin when he corruption inut russia at the state owned oil company. putin inthreat to advance of the elections. in 2005, he was sentenced to nine years in prison for fraud.

noelle nikpour and angela rye are with me. good morning. >> good morning. >> a couple of other examples, angela, the senate abandoning the filibuster. people like elizabeth warren making a case for tougher financial regulations. are liberal democrats on the move? >> i think the entire party is on the move, chris. what you have is the big tent party. historically democrats have been known to embrace folks from all walks of life. you talk about the filibuster reform, i think it's really an issue of fairness. we saw that to 86 nominees historically being filibustered for all presidential appointments, you have 82 for president obama, so this is an issue of fairness and what's just right an wrong. i hardly think that filibuster reform issue can be squarely focused as a liberal issue, it's really about fairness and equality. >> elizabeth warren is getting buzzed about as a possible alternative to hillary clinton in 2016. let me play a little bit of an interview she did with rachel maddow. >> we have a retirement crisis in america.

angela, did your family know that you were abusing heroin? did they know? >> i think that denial sets in a lot of times. you never want to believe someone you love could be doing any of that. i think it's so important for families to know -- >> everyone is giving me the big picture lecture today. i want to know how did your parents find out you were a junkie? >> after my first arrest. >> what pwas the charge? >> possession. >> did you ever get busted for sale as well? >> yes. >> are you a convicted felon right now? >> i am. i'm a participant in the drug court program. >> how do you feel about yourself now? >> it's taken a while for me to get where i am. i also think that my future is very bright. i believe that anybody can overcome things in their life and become a productive member of society. >> what's your message to the kids watching right now? >> my message is if you're struggle with something there's help and there's a better way of life. i will continue to try to help anyone who needs it. >> okay. anglo, when people think of junkies as inner city peo

angela, let me start with you. why is not passing legislation, according to some, a got thing. >> this will be one time where i disagree with my party. bottom line is this, you can't say what you stop the president on when you have an unemployment rate of 7%. a lot of people are suffering these days and they are going to want to know what did you do and why did you do it? the blame game isn't going to work. it's not going to work from both sides. it's not just republicans but both sides. >> chris, do you agree with angela? >> any time you have one party and they go out there -- the health care bill they tried to repeal it 40 times, at some point american people are going what are you doing? when it dos congressional approval, the house worked hard to earn those low approval numbers. you can be the opposition but have you to offer another agenda. that's where republicans keep falling apart? >> the disapproval rating is not the republican house but the congress as a whole. that means democratic leader as well. this h

. >> angela, let me start with you. what do you make of the president's statement that the republicans should be, quote, embarrassed by their tenure in congress? >> well, i hope he's right. i hope there are many of them that are actually embarrassed. they were elected to do a job, rev, and that is to pass legislation that would ultimately go to the senate or vice versa and be signed into law by the president of the united states. well, they're not hardly getting anything done. and as you mention, they are on track to become the least predictive congress in history. so how do you reconcile that with the job you're setting out to do? you really can't. so the fact they're calling the president the uber-president and all these other things merely distracts from the fact that they are not doing what they were elected to do. they're not elected to keep a stalemate or to ensure that the president is not successful or accomplish. we've seen in the senate the fact there are so many that they continue to filibuster. that he's not

he's unable to work. >> angela, these are real people. how can, i don't care what side of the aisle you sit, or what your politics. how can you ignore that? >> you shouldn't ignore t and you shouldn't be able to in good conscience. i think somewhere along the way they forgot that the people who are needing unemployment benefits right now were at one point employed and tax-paying americans. and because they were taxpayers, they should be able to benefit from those tax dollars. we've talked about this ad nauseam that it's not a partisan issue. why was it rejected on the gop senate side? where is the conscience on these folks are unemployed and we don't have an immediate solution and we're not even trying to have one. we're on to the debt ceiling fight. >> the president said this month that confronting income inequality is the defining challenge of our time. >> a dangerous and growing inequality in lack of upward mobility that has jeopardized middle class america's basic bargain that if you work hard you have a chance to get ahead. i believe

and the head of immigration works usa, a federation of small-business owners, angela maria kelley, vice president of immigration policy at the left leaning center for american progress. and jessica vaughn, director of policy studies for the right leaning center for immigration studies. and welcome to you all. to the new shour. >> thank you. >> angela kelley let me start with you, what was 2013 like for undocumented immigrants in this country. >> so the senate advanced the ball considerably down the field by passing this bill with such a resounding yes given that you had so much republican and democratic support. the valley i would say though for the undocumented are the number of deportations, which are intense. and the separation of families and the ongoing fear that communities live . and the undocumented don't live in one apartment building all by themselves. we're talking about this affecting 60 million americans who live with someone who is undocumented. so it is an issue that is an important one. and i think will be resolved in the next year. >> woodruff: let's talk about that jes
