uighurs are turkish ethnic group. she said the tendency became more prevalent after a new chinese anti-terrorism law took effect last december. kadeer said many uighurs have been detained after being branded terrorists, for simply opposing what she called the government's oppressive ethnic policy. she appealed for the issue to be taken up at this week's g7 summit. the chinese government harshly criticizes her as an anti-chinese splittist. an official says she's virtually a puppet of western nations. >> trade seems to hold the key here. abe had a one-on-one with u.s. president obama. abe also sat down with prime minister david cameron. that lasted about 35 minutes. they agreed that trade agreements are needed to boost global economic growth. these include the economic partnership agreement between japan and the eu and the transpacific partnership agreement. trade wasn't the only topic. the two leaders vowed to strengthen ties in politics, security, investment and nuclear power. they also exchanged views on anti-corrupt

at that -- uighur asylum seekers last july. they say they are part of a people smuggling gang, but that does not explain why they would carry out such an attack. in the early stages, the police issued 17 arrest warrants, most of them for foreign muslims. these days, we hear little about the hunts for the 15 that are at large and probably overseas. cape on trial have been isolated with only their lawyer and high officials -- and thai officials. this is a military court in this trial may not eliminate proof about a bombing that killed 20 people and injured more than 100. -- illuminate proof about a bombing that killed 20 people and injured more than 100. katty: our understanding of the human brain is undergoing a revolution. -- technology is an enabling is enabling researchers to grow and map brains, leading to better understandings of mental illnesses and possibilities for their treatments. has beenlsh investigating. his report contains graphic images of the human brain. gus: it is a privilege to examine the right hemisphere of

clearly if there were linkage emerged between isis and uighur terrorism the chinese would treat this as a top priority issue. there is cooperation and intelligence exchange among countries that are concerned about this type of terrorism, and i think china is part of that process. but i don't expect that china will become interventionists on those issues because of its concern over this type of terrorism. they would probably step up cooperation with countries that were in a position to uncover intelligence that will be useful to china in dealing with any potential internal threats that were connected to that. but china tends to be critical of intervention in other countries and issues and while china is giving a lot of attention to try to strengthen its ties in the middle east, it's not yet in a position of wanting to actually commit chinese forces to intervening in those areas. >> okay. we pick up a few questions. and a special question -- raise your hand, yes. thank you very much. i'm with the national -- research. my question about the initiative and the integration with the your a

. >> reporter: he tells us he was he is a chinese uighur, part of a muslim minority group that escaped persecution by fleeing to the tribal areas of afghanistan and pakistan. during the war, the u.s. military advertised bounties for suspected terrorists with leaflet drops like these. he was captured and sold to the u.s., labeled an enemy combatant. he was later cleared for release by multiple u.s. courts yet he still sat at guantanamo for seven years. now in berm unsure whether he and the three other detainees dropped off with him will ever be able to leave. >> no passport, nothing yet. you know, me and my sons, stateless. >> reporter: in most cases the u.s. government does ask receiving countries to monitor detainees and to restrict their travel. >> are you still angry that you were brought to guantanamo bay? >> no, i'm not angry. bay, i left everything behind. >> reporter: unlike halil, there are some released detainees who do turn to terror. in fact, a new government report reveals two more released detainees re-engaging in terrorism. a total of nine under president obama. 113 retur

liz: can you tell our viewers what uighurs are? >> yes, they are muslims that live in the western part of china up against where afghanistan connects to the chinese border, it's out in that area there. and they have been a problem inside china, the chinese consider them a terrorist group. they've staged raids and other bombings and things like that so the chinese government has zero tolerance for these folks. liz: good to clarify, because we never know what the chinese are thinking. let's get to isis, to muslim extremists, and about a year ago moldovan police stopped four attempts by russian smugglers to sell nuclear material to extremists in the middle east. on that video that you see, they specifically told undercover agents, we'll sell to muslims because they want to kill americans. how close is isis to getting its hand on nuclear weaponry or material? >> very close to getting their hands on nuclear material because there is so much of it out there. tens of thousands of sources in 100 countries plus, and all you have to do is go

i think the attack that happened in china so far by uighur population have already motivated chinese government to take a more serious attitude towards the cooperation on counterterrorism. it has its role in these regions. although there is a problem in the process because i wouldn't name which country it is, but in the process of such cooperation is not discovered that if china has most motivation, most interesting cooperative with these governments because of counterterrorism, then what if the incentives for the government to eliminate that problem so that we can no longer solicit the chinese cooperation in this regard? so we hear the chinese talk about at least privately that some governments are cooperative with china but they are also not cooperative with china. >> do you have a comment on the nuclear issue? >> the nuclear issue, the dialogue is ongoing between not only china and the united states but also china and other nuclear power. chinese policy coming to perception, russia's nuclear weapon is targeted at china so there's not a calmly -- commonly shared question. >> ambass

uighurs were the best example. we took them up and sent them to want, and realize they were no threat. china said they would be happy to take them. they wouldn't have made it to dark in china. we have this problem with the uighurs and we were going to other countries and saying the other -- these people are not a threat. all of a sudden, we cannot have these people coming to america. so we eventually got them sent to the places. several went to bermuda. there supposed to be that land of the free and the home of the brave. be asuld think we could brave as bermuda and we have not done that. it hurts we go to other countries and say we created this problem, you help solve it by we have been unwilling to do anything ourselves to undo the harm that we caused. >> that is all we have time for. thank you to everyone who joined online or onb, television. we look forward to seeing you again very soon. thank you very much.

the uighurs, that have always had problems. the broad base of the chinese populace, with 180,000 protests a year, though those are mostly about bread-and-butter issues -- you have taken the land for this factory, or there is too much smog. the third basket, which is increasingly powerful, is this generation of chinese millennials, mostly only children, were not alive during tiananmen square so they have not seen a crackdown, and they are as outspoken on the internet as some of my stanford students. and always surprised about the things they are willing to say. charlie: when you look at the chinese economy, there are questions of where it is going. we just saw the release of a five-your plan several months ago. where they laid out what they hope to achieve. in some cases it is contradictory. but there is a lot of aspirational tone in that five-your plan. other people question exactly, what are the real numbers about the chinese economy? what is your own assessment? anja: last fall, there were so many headlines here in the united

because, i mean, from the chinese point of view, one big terrorist threat is from the uighurs. it's not clear that we want to cooperate with them in expressing uighur terrorism. >> i think it is a different issue involved. that is the reconciliation between the dealing with the threat of terrorism and protecting privacy and rights to privacy. china may have a different view for their citizens skpaeurd to what we and the united states might insist on. >> let alone the europeans. >> not to mentioned europeans. chuck was talking about this. this is going to present a real challenge in how do you reconcile these viewpoints about the need to confront terrorism in a way that doesn't turn you into basically a stalin estate where even some of the candidates are suggesting we start employing everybody to look at everybody else. and so you suddenly start worrying about and listening to conversations and looking at individuals for their signs of misconduct, et cetera. so i think you have to be careful. we have to deal with terrorism and identifiable groups and worry about protecting what'

one of the earliest examples was when the president balked at bringing the uighurs to the united states. but these missed opportunities continue up until now. i think ultimately the are two things that have to happen. two things the president has to do in order to close the prison. what is he needs to get his own house in order. he needs to get all of the agencies in his administration moving in the same direction to implement its mandate to close the prison. there's a dynamic that exists. i think everyone is aware of it if you follow this issue. the state department is trying to transfer people. you have the defense department which is up stopping at the link this at times. that needs to end and that needs to come from the president. the second thing that needs to happen is there needs to be some fundamental policy changes. as an outsider it seems like the administration continues to adhere to policies that adhere to policies and sentences never really make any sense. for example, the resumption of the military commission system. or adhering to policies that may be made since in 234200

. -- uighurs spent that was a defining moment. >> exactly. i'm wondering what the administration thinks was the moment in which they sort of lost the momentum, which they could have decided that they're going to try to regain. we are in a period of absolute drive towards that. there's a plan coming, 16 people left. but like come in the administration gave where did it go off the rail? >> i don't think for the administration so i can't answer that question. >> so in your view? you're right, i should have asked for the administration. it's just where did it go wrong? >> it went wrong early. it went wrong really early. even by the archives o of speech you already knew you were the wrong place to do with like four months. something happen. i know some people have said it was, after obama took office they were the first not guantÁnamo related, the first truly series interrupted attacks against, plots against u.s. soil in the first 11 months after obama came into office that we've seen since 9/11. and in that period of time, a lot of things, i'm n

the company says results of being heard by uighurs software sales are my close off buy weaker software sales. the hurt by weaker software sales. tom: i am going to call it a three-ratio, six-dynamic thing. it is a beast called productivity. we speak with jeff sachs now of columbia university. where is productivity? jeff: the productivity is partly there and miss measured because we get a lot of things for free. it is partly down because we do not invest in this country very much. we basically have stopped saving and investing over the course of the last 20 years. that is a big problem. tom: francine, let's go to the terminal and look at productivity. i have a presidential moving average, four years of productivity, the rollover about 2000 as chairman greenspan. then great productivity, then down we go to a shockingly low level. here is the regression of 10, 12 years as well. this is a most interesting and complex question. does public policy create that investment, or does government have to get out of the way? jeff: government has to absolutely help guide, steer, and inspired changes.

if you recall, we wept around -- the uighurs are probably the best example, we scooped them up and sent them to guantanamo and quickly realized they were no threat to the u.s. china said they'd be happy to take them. of course, the weuighurs wouldn have maefd it until dark in china. we were going to other countries that said, help us out. then somebody said release them into d.c. it was like, oh, my god, we can't have these people coming to america. we eventually got them going to several other places. several went to bermuda. we're spo ezed to be the land of the free and the home of the brave, you think we could be as brave as bermuda. and we just haven't done that. so i think it really hurts when we go to other countries and say, we created this problem. you help solve it, when we've been unwilling to do anything ourselves to undo the harm that we caused ff that's all we have time for. thank you so much for everyone who joined us today. we look forward to seeing you again very soon. thank you very much. >>> c-span's "washington journal" live every day with news and policy issues that

the uighurs of afghanistan had been picked up. they were in afghanistan at the time of operations. the a lot of situations like that. obama has released 159. i think it is a bit disconcerting, again with this administration, insists on treating these terrorists and those involved in terrorist activities as nothing more than criminals. they are nothing more than like the criminals will be in the united states. that's why perhaps the president finds it impossible to say the words radical islamic terrorists because that is different than just some criminal who is committed an act of violence or murder in the united states. and by doing so, again seen as the weakest, the president is encouraging terrorists around the world to take advantage of this weakness, take advantage of the fact we willing to retreat if we just have a propaganda campaign your i'm glad to hear that we actually are suggesting that our guys didn't commit all sorts of horrible acts against these people. but of the 159 that were released, that have been released, what is disconcerting is when i hear but we don't appro

around me right now there is the kind of excitement as uighur up for tonight's debate. it gives us a chance to showcase our iconic american brand, employees in6,000 the u.s.. it is about being a part of the americana. it is about being a part of the excitement. been getting has more exciting. the folks by hind you are reporters hoping to get reaction from the clinton campaign to donald trumps use of facebook. what is the atmosphere like? it is fantastic. i thought they were on here because the budweiser guy is on c-span. it is getting more excited and that is what it is all about for us. we got involved with the commission decades ago. can go on. it is part of americana and part of being in the excitement. it is gearing up to tonight. i am sure given the seriousness of presidential debate and the desire for it not to look like a commercial operation, there are rules about what a corporation like yours can and cannot do. what are some of those sidelines that you operate under desk guidelines that you operate under? a real sete is not of guidelines for us. develops a comf

think wells says maybe obama went off the rails in his desire to close it when he didn't bring the uighurs here, i think. >> i don't know if that was the earliest point but a defining moment. >> exactly. i'm wondering what the administration thinks was the moment in which they sort of lost the moment which they clearly have zoided that they're going to try to regain. we're in a period of absolute, you know, drive towards there, that is a plan coming, 16 people left. the administration view, where did it go off the rails? >> i don't speak for the administration, i can't answer that question. >> so in your view, as not an -- you're right, i shouldn't have asked about the administration. it just that where did it go -- where did it go wrong? >> it went wrong early. it went wrong really early. the archive seecpeech, that's ar four months in office. something happened. i know that some people have said it was -- after obama took office they were the first -- not guantanamo related -- the first serious attacks, plots against u.s. soil in the first 11 months after obama came into office that we h

uighur 8.5% when you look at the facts there's no evidence to indicate that the pendulum has swung in favor of our credit system. thank you for the opportunity to comment. >> could i agree but that? sorry, mr. stark but there are a lot of gses at the but on any of the gses that directly compete with me that try to steal my loans. when we are not allowed to make a $5 million real estate loan, for example, that's a big part of my loan portfolio. that goes to the farm credit services no matter what. is just a way to compete and it will be undercut no matter what great i've quoted come and msha every community banks in the nation can say the same thing. that they rates just are not the same. they will pick those. the young farmer that comes in that has a quote from the farm credit services it's a rate that is higher. they might get a rate that is six or 8% compared to the 3% rate. so does that really mean you are taking care of those young farmers? with high priced below two young farmer that is the same whether a multimillion dollar farmer or they are a young farmer that's really struggl

said they will shun a deal to take some of the uighurs into america. they were sent to bermuda of all places where they were busy working at least one or two people working at a country club, taking care of the sand traps. we could've done this in this country and demonstrated that we too can take some of these people instead of treating them like lepers that are too dangerous to have in your country. i think it is pitiful really. >> host: office calling in from overland park, kansas. you are on the phone with jane mayer. >> guest: greetings from the state of kansas which has been described as koch industries. i am really interested in the last chapter you talk about the rebranding and use site to professor wake forest to describe the powder of reforming in the way up and check dean a new no-space-on free market capitalism. i'm interested in your elaboration because they really see it is really the next major influence and how it being propped up and appearing at universities. >> guest: thank you for asking and heights campus. i read about it and then
