Before the horse. We dont have a strategy yet. What i have seen in news reports suggests folks are getting further ahead than where we currently are. Thats not just my assessment but the assessment of our military as well. Martha this video i so disturbing and the brutality of this group is clear. Reporter the two new videos today are nonetheless shock. In the first video isis appears to execute 200 Syrian Government troops. The soldiers were captured and killed. And a captured kurdish fighter is behead. Militants say this video is a warning to the proamerican kurds to end their military cooperation to the United States government. Martha how is the fighting in iraq going at this point, connor . Reporter isis controls huge amounts of territory in iraq and syria. The u. S. Airstrikes coupled with an advancing military and the kurdish militias have provided stages to mount a counterattack. They continue to hold several key Oil Producing towns. Iraqi troops seem to have secured baghdad and the surrounding area but the general consensus is with u. S. Airstrikes, its not enough to push iraq away from the isis scourge through that country. They are proving to be more resilient and organized than anybody expected. There are thousands of isis fighters joining their ranks every single month. They are getting stronger. Reporter there is startling information how the war the toll the war is taking on people in syria. One out of of 8 syrians is now a refugee. Half of those are children. A top u. N. Official is calling the refugee crisis the biggest humanitarian emergency of our era. Martha colonel oliver north is situation we are seeing in syria should be a wakeup call that these extremists can spread their reign of terror to the u. S. They plan to send terrorists back to the u. S. And strap on suicide vests and get on the metro and does anybody remember madrid . To ignore this is criminal neglect on the part of the white house. Martha and i imam warned sean hannity sharia is coming to a place near you. The rhetoric has not rested in this story. Its escalating every day. Those images they sent out of the recent video of the killing of those soldiers who were fighting for assad. Who would have imagined a world where you feel so sympathetic for those fighting for assad. The dynamic is just unbelievable. Reporter the Islamic State isnt making any bones about what they want to do. In a sick and perverse way they are proud of it. Martha their strategy is very clear. Reporter russia is denyingal facings its launching a stealth invasion of ukraine. Nato reports at least 1,000 Russian Troops are now in the ukraine. New satellite images shows what appears to be Russian Military vehicles crossing the border into that country. But moscow says tonight of its troops in the region are merely volunteers. What are we hearing that may be coming out of that nato meeting today . Reporter nato is meeting in brussels to discuss the crisis in ukraine. It says these satellite images show the positions of Russian Troops inside ukrainian territory. The secretarygeneral says he believes these troops are involved in operations in ukraine. Its now clear that Russian Troops and equipment have illegally crossed the border into eastern and southEastern Ukraine. Reporter nato also says these troop movements are part after pattern over many months. Ukrainian forces had untrecentl. It has seen them open up a new one in the south. The southern town of. Reporter the United States and others have said the russians are lie being this. What else are the rugs saying in response to the International Outcry . Moscow continues to deny any military involvement in ukraine though russia does admit some men may have gone there as volunteers. Speaking today at a youth cam. Russian president Vladimir Putin says ukraine should negotiate with the separatists, something they refused to do. And he says russia should be ready to respond to any aggression. He called on Ukrainian Forces to release Russian Troops. The u. N. Says today that as many as 2,600 people have been killed in this latest fighting. Reporter we are hearing from one of the russian separatist leaders saying the Russian Troops were there on vacation. Im sure anybody believes that as well. Kitty logan live in london. Martha the figures from 2012 show 110 million americans are receiving some form of welfare. Thats more than a third of our population. Think about that. Stuart varney. Most of the varney and company. Stuart, that is an astounding reality in the youths america. Reporter i have two reports that shows what america has become. As you pointed out. 110 Million People receive something from the government because of low income or special needs, food, medical ware, housing or eating subsidy. There has been a steady, strong growth in welfare during the obama years. There is a shift towards well fair in those years. Item number two. The report from pew. They asked are you middle class or upper class. 2008 within 72 said upper class, middle class. 2014, 57 said middle class. That is a huge decline in the number of people who think im a middle american. Thats a significant shift. Its obviously occurred because of the Great Recession and the rather weak recovery. It also occurred because we shift the nature of American Society toward a Welfare Society along european lines. Its a big shift. Martha its a huge shift. The programs were designed 50 years ago, many of them, to help people who fell through the cracks, to get them over the bridge, to be a gap provider for the time when someone was out of work to boost them along so nobody in this country has to go hungry. But what happened is, when you combine all these programs, many people have figured out, you know what . Thats almost 20 minimum wage for me as opposed to 7. 25. So im better off if i can combine these government programs. Reporter its a trap that keeps people out of the middle class. Stops them from moving up the food chain into the middle class. If you are getting the equivalent of 20 an hour through government hand. Outs, thats sure better than getting 7. 25 minimum wage or 10 or 12 an hour. You have no incentive to get out there, work and how much that food chain. Its a trap and it keeps you down. Thats what we have become. Reporter remember that story about the guys who had the device that keep the seats reclining . Well, there has been another midair confrontation over leg room. This time it diverted an International Flight and landed a suspect in front of a judge. Martha nascar star tony stewart making an announcement about him and racing weeks after he was involved in a deadly tragic accidents. Reporter president obama saying there is no strategy yet for fighting isis. Where does that leave us in fighting a brutal wave of terrorism . Well hear from karl rove next. They had all this time to develop what to do with isis in syria and he has no strategy in iraq. Midas. They tell you what stuff needs fixing, and what stuff can wait. Highfive arg brakes, tires, oil, everything. whistling leland nascars tony stewart will return to the track this weekend. He skipped the last three nascar events after being involved in an accident that killed kevin ward, jr. He has received all necessary clearances to return to racing activities and is eligible to be this weekend at the atlanta moat speedway. This will be his first time out since he hit and killed ward on a dirt flack upstate new york three weeks ago. Ago. Martha we are just getting this from sky news. The United Kingdom has raised their threat level to severe. What that means is that they are at the second highest level of threat level. According to the home secretary that means a terrorist attack is highly likely in the United Kingdom they believe. There is no intelligence to suggest it is imminent. That while we go back to the fight against isis in syria. Operating virtual safe haven in that area. They are blasting the president for not having a plan to defeat them there which he made clear yesterday. What we need is a strategy to defeat isis. Not to contain them or secure the mosul dam or help the yazidis in a single moment in time. I dont think the president sees this moment for what it is for him, or for us as a country. Martha that was paul ryan reacting to the president s News Conference. Joining me is karl rove. Good morning to you. I saw you last night reacting to this. You now had a chance to sleep on it and process whats going on here. What do you make of it at this point . Reporter i make of the News Conference that it was a check the box. We are about ready to go into a long holiday. I need to talk to the press, i need to be seen. But it had little substance. The president said i dont have a strategy to deal with isis in syria. Im nowhere didnt or further on isil in iraq nor am i going to give you a definitive update on things. When it comes to the ukraine they are doing really bad things but well get together next week in europe and try and figure out how we are going to respond to them. This is an appalling display of a lack of leadership on the part of the United States for our commanderinchief and chief executive. Martha when you look back, we are just getting drips and drops coming out. But the impression is out there right now that the president is the one at the table who is the most reluctant, the most cautious, that others are encouraging him to be more forceful on this and he is concerned about what the outcome might be. Where that might leave us, how involved we have have to be in syria and iraq and for how long. Yes, but on the other hand hes the guy who three years ago said assad must go. Yesterday he said we need to roll back the isil gains in iraq. We need to make certain. He said i have joint chiefs work on plans so isil does not overrun iraq. He said we need to support our partners taking the fight against isil but there is a gap between the president s rhetoric and his actions. Hes constantly behind the 8ball. He does not think strategically. Isil took fallujah and december 30 of last year. They began to break into iraq and cross northwestern iraq in june. We are sitting here in august 18 with the president saying we are going to defend our personnel and consulates and missions and conduct humanitarian measures when clearly we are doing more than that already and hes just not willing to include it in a strategic frame. Martha thats something i dont get. The pentagon is at work every day. The president is at work every day. Fallujah went first. Mosul june. Mr. President , if they to this, here is what we are going to do. Why would we have to be developing a strategy at this late point . The Central Command which has operational responsibility for this region of the world has been working on plans like this for a long time. Our Intelligence Community in the military have been on top of this looking at the threat isis represented months and months ago. Why the president dawdles like he does. He came and said i dont have a strategy and we arent any further along in iraq and ukraine im going go on a foreign trip next week. And then im going on fundraising trips for the next few days. The president has no sense of urgency about what our vastly critical problems facing our allies, interests man this instance the United States itself. Remember the danger with isis is we had on september 11, 19 people financed with a half million dollars. Who brought down the twin towers. Isil has hundreds of americans and europeans and westerners with passports that will allow them to get into this country with ease and access to hundreds of millions of dollars. If we dont think that represents a threat to us, you just reported the increase in the Threat Status in great prey britain. I suspect we are getting a glimpse of what our future looks like if we dont take strong action against isis and destroy them as paul ryan called it. Martha karl rove. Thank you very much. Good to have you here, carl, see you next time. Leland critics have been blasting the nfl for its Domestic Violence policy. You know what i love america .

Leland the nfl making a big move on the issue of Domestic Violence. And they warn of tougher penalties to come. What changes have been made to the nfl rules. Reporter Roger Goodell issued a lengthy letter outlining guidelines. They are banned completely after a second offense. It comes after an uprecord over rice being suspended for two games after a Domestic Violence incident in february. He was called on video drags his fiance now wife dragging her out of an elevator while she was unconscious. Under goodells updated guidelines a first offense will result in a sixgame suspension. Players can petition for reinstatement for one year but there is no assurance it will be granted. What has bent reaction so far in this . Reporter many in the sports world say the nfl commissioner did the right thing by saying he did the wrong thing. He says i take responsibility for the decision and to make sure our actions reflect our values in the the future. Former nfl quarterback Charlie Batch tweeted this out. But a lot of people think goodell hasnt done enough, pointing to the Substance Abuse policy that suspend players for four games for a first offense. Laura ingle, jim gray will weigh in on this later. Reporter isis has been called fanatical, diabolical. But is a major element of this group being down played by the white house . Piece are people who believe in the end of days, and what they are doing, the cruelty that threads the conquest are going to hasten the end of days. The president leaves out the religious element of this. Martha you need to understand this in order to understand this. Leland surfs up. Surfer flock this beach as a Tropical Storm is cause something of the biggest waves almost reaching the there that they have seen in years. Reporter incredible, amazing and awesome.

About 9 45 we expect him to come out and announce the u. K. Is raising the threat level to the second highest level there is. That means they believe a terrorist attack is highly likely. You see the shot at 10 downing street. Well bring you that live as soon as he comes out. Leland there is concern Political Correctness is clouding the Bigger Picture of this terror in iraq and syria. Obama is taking criticism for ignoring the religious aspect of this. The president leaves out the religious element of this. He talks of them as extremists. What does extremism mean . This is a specific type of extremism. An element, a wing of perhaps small but nonetheless determined one of a great religion. When you are propelled by religion, the belief in the almighty, that gives you the power and determination that is unusual. Its not the runofthemill enemy. Leland let do you think there is a problem with president obama not acknowledging how radical islam plays a role in how isis conducts itself on the battlefield . I think the president under estimates the threat from isis and the religious element may be a part of that. Isil is determined not just to develop a caliphate in the region but to attack the United States as well. Thats all part after general misunderstanding the president may have about the group. Wra why dont you think the president speaks of this in an us against them war on terror view that we heard from president bush post 9 11. I dont know. I was deeply disturbed when the president said we still dont have a strategy to confront isis or isil. I was deeply disturbed that we dont have a coalition organized of nations like the u. K. And other nations to work with us. And im disturbed we dont have a plan to militarily take on as we just heard, an organization that is committed to spreading its hatred and its theocracy throughout the middle east and europe and hopefully to the United States if they have their way. Leland my grandmother used to say its not what you say, its how you say it. Is the fact that president obama isnt ringing the alarm bells a problem your view . Its an absolute problem. This isnt politics. This isnt democrat versus republican. This is just plain common sense. We pulled together after 9 11. This is a threat arguably given there are western jihadists fighting with isis both americans and europeans that we have to take very, very seriously and i hope all americans, democrats and republicans push the administration to take more assertive action more quickly. Reporter do you think there is a political aspect to the president s tone . That he doesnt believe the alarm pells need to be sounding or he doesnt think this is an issue of t religious war that the Islamic State is waging or is it a political calculation where he thinks he if he talks about a war and terror that somehow it admits failure of his policies before. I think its a combination of several things. This goes back to his comments where he said is it that isa jv squad. He came into office want to go pull back in iraq and afghanistan. This is a president who doesnt recognize the fact that we are at war and there is a fund amount at conflict here at play with a very determined enemy. Leland does the president risk making things worse by not moving forward much quicker on this and trying to play it safe, doesnt want to admit he has to go back into iraq . Does he risk politically hurting himself a lot more coming up to the midterms . There is Political Risk on both sides. He doesnt want to get intertwined into another war before the elect because the American People are rightly receipt cent about fighting another war. The image of indecision directly to your question that we see with invading ukraine, with israel and hamas with a tentative ceasefire and most of all with isis on the march in syria and iraq. Yes, there is an image of weakness. Yes he can be hurt politically but i would like to think our leaders can rise above politic and do whats right. When i advised president clinton i said do whats right, thats the best politic. I say the same thing now. Leland thank you very much for joining us. Hes off to fundraisers this weekend. Martha a flight that took off from miami was headed for paris and had to be diverted to boston. Imagine if you were on your way to paris and you ended up in boston . A passenger became violent over leg room. When a flight crew member tried to restrain him he reportedly lunged at the attendant. His Attorney Says his client only speaks french so that may be why there was miscommunication. I cant believe there is not a way for airlines to say to someone, you have to contain yourself and we are going to keep flying on our flight. We are not going to extend all of these people out of the way to boston because around jerk on the airplane. Leland you have someone who lungs at a flight attendant, do you want to be three hours over the atlantic when he goes crazy . Martha there has got to be a better way. Unbelievable. Maybe a little box, a passenger box or jail cell. Its unbelievable how often this stuff happens. Leland new Satellite Photos appear to show Russian Military equipment inside ukraine. Ukraines president calls it an invasion. Is it too late to stop russia . Jack keane is up next. Plus this. You love rob ford, right . Has crazy as this guy is. As deep as the hole has been for him. He just makes you smile. The former i dont like calling him the cracksmoking mayor. He did the once as far as we know. But the mayor may be well see. But hes shaking a groove thing out there. Well be right back. Martha we have a busy morning on our hands. Breaking developments we are following. The United Kingdom is raising their Terror Threat level. They are pushing it up to severe. One level below the highest level that they have. It means a Terror Threat is highly likely. And there is no specific intelligence of an imminent threat. That is one thing that would push it to that higher level. David cameron is supposed to come out at 10 downing street. Well hear what he has to say about how much of a threat he believes isis is to his homeland and overseas. Joining me is jack keane, good morning, general. First the news from london. What do you make of that . Obviously its what we expected thats of these foreign fighters who travel to syria and train with isis have gone back home and obviously there is something they are picking up in a general sense that there is an attack that is likely. I dont think the attack coming from foreign fighters returning to england or europe or the United States would ever be anything spectacular like we saw on 9 11 more do i think they can sustain these kind of attacks as they did in baghdad and other places in the east in. But they are dangerous and obviously people could be hurt and tragically killed by them. Our Intelligence Services are working hard on the situation. We are very good at detecting these things and the u. K. Is excellent at it themselves. I wouldnt be surprised if they are not able to detect whats taking place. Martha why do you say you dont think they are capable of sustained attacks to the extents they are able to pull them off in baghdad . You need a logistical infrastructure and safe houses to do all that and bomb making. I think what would take place is home grown lone wolf acts of terrorism as opposed to cells operating and supporting each other. I dont think that was there. Martha we are going to go back to the u. K. Lets talk about russia because there is new satellite images that show they have laid down quite a bit of infrastructure on the ground there. We are going to put those upcoming up into view now. How serious is this, general . Actually began this invasion on Eastern Ukraine many, many months ago. They put special operations and Intelligence Officers in there not in uniform 0 lead a guerrilla operation and take control of syrian cities. Ukraine started to have success and russia put equipment in there to help sustain the military efforts that was already taking place. The Ukraine Military began to have more success, now russia has their own troops in the ground in Eastern Ukraine declaring this part of russia. This was his plan all along so he can maintain control of it. The fact of the matter is this is part of his design to put a land bridge between russia and crimea and he appears to have accomplished it. Martha there are resources he wants access to. There are other countries if they watch the easy take year of crimea by russia and putin. Now we may be seeing the same sort of success for them in ukraine as well. So moldova or georgia, what are you thinking at this point . The fact is, putin has a design much larger than crimea and Eastern Ukraine. This is talking about the new russian empire hes thinking about that involves central and eastern europe. It involves the balkans. This is the beginning of a longterm campaign. I think putin sees himself as the leader of russia for life. I dont believe for a minute he intend to leave when his term of office is off and he is redesigning russia. He has started another cold war to be sure and we flat have not woken up to what hes doing. Martha Samantha Powers was forceful on this. At every step russia has come before this council to say everything but the truth. It has manipulated and outright lied. We have learned to measure russia by its actions and not word. In the last 48 hours russias actions have spoken volumes. Martha are we in a new form of cold war russia at this point in time . He started it and he intend to win it. Listen to madame ambassador talking about putins actions and word. We have a lot of of word that are eloquent fan powerful but no actions. Ukraine asked us right from the beginning forearms and ammunition to help them fight russia themselves. Not for us to fight it but for them to fight it. What have we said . Nothing. We sent them mres. These are still sanctions that do not move putin to change his behavior, so we have lots of words and no actions. Martha you can see hes emboldened and feels there is no stopping his ambitions. General keane, thank you so much. Good to have you here as always. Leland iconic comedian joan rivers in Critical Condition following what was said to be a routine surgery. What could have gone so wrong .

Martha David Cameron speak about raising the threat level in the u. K. The first isil inspired terrorist acts on the continent of europe have already taken place. We believe 500 people have traveled from britain to fight in syria and potentially iraq. Lets be clear about the source of the threat that we face. The terrorist threat was not created by the iraq war 10 years ago. It existed even before the horrific attacks on 9 11. This threat cannot be solved simply by dealing with the grievances over western foreign policy. Nor can it be dealt with by addressing politics, or instability in the region as important as these things are. The root cause of this threat to our security is quite clear. It is a to different is a poisos ideology of islamist extremism that is condemned by all the faiths and all faith leaders. It believes in using brutal terrorism to accept people to accept a warped world view and live in a medieval state. One in which its own citizens would be subjected barbaric beheading and the even slavement and rape of women. And the exporting of terrorism abroad. This is a battle between islam and one hand and extremists who want to abuse islam on the other. Its important that we make the distinction between. Islam daily inspires millions to acts of kindness. Islamic extremism is supported by a minority. These are supported by a minority living far from the battlefield. This is not a new problem. We have seen this extremism before here in our own country. We saw it with the moment grown 77 bombers who blew up two trains and busses. The links between what happened overseas and what happens here has also always been there. Many of those who sought to do us harm in the past have been foreign nationals living in britain or british citizens who returned from terrorist Training Camps in pakistan or elsewhere around the world. But what we are facing in iraq in isil is a great and deeper threat 0 our security than we have known before. In afghanistan the taliban were prepared to play host to al qaeda, the terrorist organization. With isil we are facing a terrorist organization not being hosted in a country but actually seeking to establish and then violently expand its own terrorist state. And with designs on expand something jordan and lebanon up to the Turkish Border we could be facing a terrorist state on the shores of the mediterranean. We cannot apiece this ideology. We have to confront it at home and abroad. We knees a tough and intelligent and comprehensive approach to defeat the terrorist threat at its source. Tough in we need a Firm Security response whether that is action to go after the terrorists, International Cooperation on intelligence and counterterrorism and uncompromising measures against terrorists at home. But it must also be an intelligent political response. We must use aid, difficult moment i and our military. Learning the lessons from the past doesnt mean there isnt a place for our military. The militaryr were vital in driving al qaeda from afghanistan and we support the u. S. Airstrikes against isil in iraq. Military force is one element of what we can do and we need a wider approach working with neighbors in the region and addressing not just security but politics, too. We know terrorist organizations thrive where there is political instability and week or dysfunctional political institutions. We must support the Building Blocks of democracy, the rights of minorities, freed media, preassociation, a proper place in so tight for the army and we must show perseverance. Not because these Building Blocks takes time to put in place, but because we are in the middle of a generational struggle against a poisonous and extremist ideology i believe well be fighting for years and probably decades. We will take whatever action is necessary to keep the british people safe here at home. Britain as some of the finest and most security and Intelligence Services anywhere in the world. Well always act with urgency where needed as we did with the Emergency Data attention which is yielding results. And we have taken a whole range of measures to keep our people safe. We are stopping suspects from traveling by seizing passports. We are barring foreign nationals from reentering the u. K. We are depriving people of citizenship and we are going to prosecute people for terrorist activity even when it takes place over seas. We stepped up our operational response. We have seen port stops and cash seize ours. We have taken down extremist material off the internet including 46 isilrelated video. Those who seek to recruit to isil will be arrested and their material seized. And we have seen a 58 increase in our decad rallization program. People are concerns from foreign fighters coming back to threaten our security here at home. The and of this threat is growing. I said last week there will be no kneejerk reactions. Well respond calmly and with purpose and well do so driven by the evidence and the importance of maintaining the liberty that is the hallmark of the society we defend. But we have to listen to the security and Intelligence Officers who do so much every day to keep us safe. I chaired a meeting with our intelligence and Security Services and we agreed it is becoming clear that there are some gaps in our armory and we need to strengthen them. We need to do more to stop people traveling, to stop those who do go from returning and to deal decisively with those who are already here. Ill be making a statement in the house of commons monday. This will include further steps to stop people traveling with new legislation that will make it easier to take peoples passports away. We also need to take a comprehensive approach. Dealing with this threat is not just about new powers. Its how we combat extremism in all its forms. We need to tackle that ideology of islamic extremism at root before it takes the form of violence and terror. That means challenging the thinking of extremist ideologues. And countering them by empowering the overwhelming majority who believe in British Values of democracy and respect for minorities. Thats why as Prime Minister i have driven a new approach of attacking counter extremism focusing on all times of extremism, not just violent ensuring that every part of government and state from schools to universities are all focused on beating it. This task force will get you to meet regularly. Britain is an open, tolerant nation. Backing people in every community who wants to work ha hard, build a life for themselves and their families. We cannot stand by and allow our openness to be confused for the tolerance of extremism. All encouraging different cultures to live separate lives and behave in ways that run counter to our values. Here British Values is not an option or a choice, it is a duty for those who live in the islands. In the end is only for standing up a that we will defeat this extremism, protect our way of life and keep all our people safe. Thank you, happy to take some questions. Lets start with sky news. Prime minister, do you feel there is interest in the sky level changes the combat or military response . And do you reflect that that vote could have ended up helping the very people who you say poses a Severe Threat . First of all, the change in the threat level, that is the joint Terrorism Center, done independently of the substance and the timing of when they make the announcements, and i understand and i agree with the assessment theyve made. There is a greater threat we face from syria and iraq, now theres a greater problem of returning foreign fighters, and also worth remembering as i said not just with isil, but dealing with other al qaeda franchises in syria and potentially in ir iraq. That is a reason for the threat level change. What is would trigger first of all his comprehensive assessment domestically, that is the prisms from which i look at these problems. Are we safe at home in the uk, what more can we do. A prism to look at it first of all. For what were doing to deal with the problem at source, were focused on humanitarian aid drops, focus on intelligence gathering and working with our partners to help with the work they are doing and the americans have taken the lead of the more committed action in terms of airstrikes against isis, so that has been the situation and i think that is the right approach to take. I would always do i what i belie is necessary to keep the british people safe, that is the way i make these judgments about what we should do. In terms of linking back, i would not over analyze that. It was about a proposal to take limited military action in response to the use of chemical weapons in syria. They made the determination that is made, widespread dislocation of the chemical weapons and a lot of those have been removed, so i would not over analyze a connection between that vote by chemical weapons and what we face today. A terrorist state. Can you tell us what the higher threat level is likely to mean for people going about their ordinary lives . Will they see more police on the streets, airports and public buildings and so on . And can i follow up final question, you are saying the threat comes from abroad, comes from syria and iraq, and yet you appear to be saying there will be no British Military action against isil forces in that region. If not, why not . First of all, what does this threat level mean . Lets be clear on the terms, we were under a threat level or substantial, attack a strong possibility, it is being highly likely, from the most intense threat level which is critical, it is expected imminently. What this means for the british people, we should all continue to go back about our daily lives in a normal way. They have overcome them before, weve always shown resolve and perseverance that is exactly what we should do on this location. The purpose of moving the threat level is a series of actions from police and other parts of life to make sure they put in place the extra securities they can. So you might see some changes in terms of policing and the numbers of police and things like that. That is the point of having them independently judged so the authorities in the private sectors know the level of threat they face. You say this threat comes from iraq and syria and of course the threat we face today, in large part does come from iraq and syria. My argument is me have to go a bit deeper than that, the threat we face today comes from the narrative of this extremism, wherever there is a broken sta state, wherever there is grievance, you see the extremist agenda being pushed further and faster, that is why we have problems in somalia and parts of nigeria, and indeed syria, iraq. The source the problem is the extremist and that is why the right approach to this is to identify the problem we face, the extremist narrative, and you have to take it on everywhere including at home, and when you take all that home, not just about targeting those who want to do harm, but those who put forward the extremist narrative that provides a background for bringing people into this violence. That is the approach we take. Now do we need with allies to be sure isil cannot succeed in iraq and syria . Yes, of course we do, but we have to be clear of what has brought this about. One of the principal courses of what has brought this about. Ungoverned space in iraq caused by the fact for too long they we not govern on behalf of all countries, only half of one part of the country. So our strategy for combating isiisil has to have every one of those functions. Making sure they have the arms they need, the intelligence gathering that they want, we should be working to ensure Iraqi Government that can govern for the people of iraq, and we are. We should be playing our role for those desperately in need. All the time while we do that recognizing even if you sold the problems of isil and iraq and syria, you still have a problem of poisonous extremism and you see that problem in our country even before that problem came and went, identifying dealing with the source is absolutely key. We have known about the threat of returning for quite some time, why has it taken all summer to raise the threat level . That is not an issue for me, i am very satisfied and look at this in a comprehensive, independent and rigorous way. They base their judgments on all the intelligence they see and all the assessments they make. Clearly we have had a problem of isil in iraq, foreign fighters traveling from britain to iraq and indeed the problem as ive said not just of isil but also other al qaeda franchises in the area. Clearly joint Terrorism Center field is that problem has become more intense, from substantial to severe. It is their assessment, politicians dont make this assessment, it is independently made and given, we have there is possibly working with all the agencies including intelligence, security, police, british transport police, aviation, all the rest of it, how do we make sure to put everything in place . I think we have from the times. Prime minister, is the decision to raise the threat level in response to a specific threat, and is there any evidence at all that any part of the organization would want to target the uk, anything to suggest that . It has been a difficult couple of days for you after the events yesterday. There is great unrest in your party over europe and some may call to step up. Do you agree with him, to reassure your party will not be containincampaigning come may, t given the horrible figures, can you do anything to reassure those who want more action on borders . First of all, in terms of the way the joint Terrorism Assessment Center works, and its judgment of the threat level, it looks at all the intelligence that is available before making the judgment, and comment on individual specific threats, but that is the way it works and i am satisfied. They looked at this very rigorously and the number of foreign fighters, the isil threat and other threats in the region, it is sufficiently serious to raise the threat level. In terms of targets in the uk there is no doubt in my mind that isil is targeting all of us in europe. We have already seen they didnt focus on it sufficiently, the attacks was perhaps the clearest indication that this is an organization that wants to kill entirely innocent people in other parts of the world in pursuit toward its agenda. Absolutely satisfied isil is a specific threat and would make specific threats to the uk as well. For europe, give the british people a proper choice between a reformed place and leaving the eu altogether. There are those who want to leave and people who vote for the conservative party who want to leave altogether. Some want to leave irrespective of any renegotiations i managed to complete, and before his defection i was pretty confident it was one of those people. No renegotiation, wanted an opportunity to leave, that is why his decision is slightly bizarre because he fought as a conservative in 2010 when we didnt have a commitment, that was a question for him to explain perhaps rather than me. With me, what you get is a renegotiation to address those issues that most matter to britain to make sure we have the european union, not in the single currency, to deliver those and come may, whatever you think it will be the choice of the british people whether to stay or leave, and that is the real choice. Indeed voting is for the overly likely to help deliver a government that wont give you a renegotiation and wont give you a referendum. It has become very clear in the months ahead, but the most important issue is the terrorist threat we face. The statement i have made today is response, and it is important to roughly from the Prime Minister not about individual measures, important though they may well be, set out the overall comprehensive approach at home and the rod to tackle this threats. Assisted by National Security council, for the first time looks at how the action impacts us at home and overseas. Thank you very much indeed. A forceful News Conference we have just heard from David Cameron, the Prime Minister of Great Britain. He talked about the poisonous Islamic Militant threat that is faced by all of western europe and United States as well. He discussed what he is going to do on the home front raising the Terror Threat today, but he says he will stop the traveling of people we think are dangerous to our country, we will take passports when necessary. He talked about the need to attack this poisonous islamic threat and the roots which has been an issue the United Kingdom has been dealing with for years and called it out in the clearest terms we have heard y yet. He talked also about the broad threat this group faces around the world in a way that compared it as closely to a Movement Like nazism or what was facing world war ii, he talked about the fact we cannot appease, which clearly brings back the thoughts of the language used toward the not too movement preworld war ii, very interesting. And i want to bring in bret baier watching all of this unfold for us. You could not watch this News Conference and not compare it to the president s News Conference yesterday. Your thoughts. That is probably true. A lot of people on capitol hill were probably doing the exact same thing. The president will not stay overnight in new york, now they have changed the plans and put out an announcement is still going to this fundraiser in rhode island and will come back the white house tonight. Whats the Prime Minister said was significant, raising the threat level in the uk from substantial to severe, which means the terrorists center, the analysis is the Terrorists Attack is highly likely. Some 500 members of isis or isil that have uk passports. That is a big deal, despite the fact you have the administration in the u. S. Saying isis is not capable they believe of pulling off 9 11 style attacks, the Prime Minister of the uk talking about a serious situation where they have changed the threat assessment and they believe it is highly unlikely this could launch attacks. It is obviously easy to see. Indeed it is good when the issues that came up on your program, i believe, talked about the fact president obama had ignored the poisonous islamist part of this story, he took that issue headon in a way to president did not yesterday. That is true. The president doesnt often go down that road of the ideology, radical islamist ideology that is at the root of this group and other groups. Scrambling to attack that. A year ago the president at the News Conference said we have a strategy, we are working on comprehensive strategy to go after the groups other than al qaeda because they believe al qaeda leadership has been decimated. We have a comprehensive strate strategy, six weeks after that he called isis the jv team in yesterday said he had no strategy was feeling with isis in syria. That is pretty compelling when you lay out all the things this administration has said and the different ways they have said it. It was interesting David Cameron said this threat was not created by the iraq war. Which stands in stark opposition to what we have hurts just in from this administration and certainly from those on the left in this country. He really gets to the heart of it, it is not this one group, it is not some one group in syria. It is this radical islamist agenda that has taken root, and that is the root cause of this threat. The Prime Minister gets to the heart of whatever think tank you could ask in washington about where this threat comes from, it is that, the hijacking of islam, that is what isis is doing. He talks about the desire to march through jordan, lebanon potentially and we could be facing a terrorist state on the shores of the mediterranean. He also, i noted, did not answer directly the question asked to him whether or not Great Britain was willing to step up their action in terms of taking direct military force to confront this did he sidestepped that a bit today. He did. We saw the president really put off saying they were putting the cart before the horse about dental airstrikes against isis in syria. He did not hear from the Prime Minister or the president a timeline of action inside of syria. Clearly the bricks are dealing with a situation where they think the threat this really more significant as this continues to grow over syria and iraq and really the biggest threat is all of these members of isis with european passports, some 200 have said to have u. S. Passports. The group calls itself the Islamic State, the government calls it isil. Islamic state of iraq. We call it isis, sonic state of iraq and syria. It is the same people. It is and it looks like we will be dealing with them for some time. Thank you very much. Moron isis coming up was a major fight brewing on capitol hill.

Nfl commissioner admitting he got it wrong on Domestic Violence in announcing new league wide penalties including a lifetime ban for second time offenders. The move comes after the nfl gave ray rice a twogame suspension, the video he was caught on video dragging his apparent the unconscious then fiancee off an elevator in Atlantic City casino after what police call a mutual attack. He addressing widespread criticism of the punishment in a letter to team owner saying i didnt get it right, simply put we have to do it better and we will. Lets bring in Fox News Contributor jim gray. Has the nfl finally got net right on Domestic Violence . Yes, they have. The outrage of the public, women across the country, of men, everybody call less the game together and they did not like the decision upon ray rice. A wise man will change, a full never will. He listened, you can only hope some of the people in washington are listening. He has it right now by saying he didnt get it right. It was interesting to hear from him in terms of this letter saying things to get it right. It seems as though it is pretty arbitrary in terms of how the punishment is dealt out in the nfl. Suspended for a whole lot longer because he smoked marijuana. Visit policy for those kind of instances, those are bargain with nfl Players Association, there hasnt been an agreement with the Players Association even after this has come out n now, they will defend some of the players if they feel he punishment is excessive. Steroids, marijuana, all that has been dealt with in the agreement with the labor union. That is probably why there hasnt been a policy in place. As you look across the sports spectrum, majorleague baseball, do they address these issues in a very similar way, or is it a wide range of penalties that players face . We dont seem to have a lot of these instances did they are dealt with as individuals, this will not be tolerated, a minimum of six games and possibly more if it is more egregious, the second attempt will be a lifetime ban after one year to apply for reinstatement. Domestic violence, this is an issue in our country, the nfl, it has to have a higher standi standing, held to the higher standard, and so he is going to take the lead on this now, he got it wrong, showed tremendous humility and courage to change this after he made his decision. Ray rice gets off easy. Perhaps the Baltimore Ravens should say there is a new policy in place we should suspend this guy for six games. I doubt they will, they want the competitive ray rice on the field. If they were to do that and say we recognize the commissioner has changed his position, i doubt that will happen. It would be a major statement if they took that next step. Martha we heard David Cameron on the increased threat against isis. White house scrambling to show United States has no strategy to deal with isis and syria. What is the best plan of action . Over the long term we have to have a regional strategy. The summer of this. The summer that summers from here on will be compared to. Where memories will be forged into the sand. And then hung on a wall for years to come. Get out there, with over 50,000 hotels at 150 dollars or less. Expedia. Find yours. Great. This is the last thing i need. seriously . The last thing you need is some guy giving you a new catalytic converter when all you got is a loose gas cap. What . It is that simple sometimes. Thanks. Now lets take this puppy over to midas and get you some of the good ol midas touch. Hey you know what . Ill drive andthis through. Et. Trust the midas touch. For brakes, tires, oil, everything. whistling a fox news alert, raising the Terror Threat level to severe, not setting a specific threat yet. Here he was moments ago. We have to confront it and abroad. To do this we need tough, intelligent, patient, comprehensive approach to defeat the terrorist threat at the source. Need a firm source, and National Intelligence and counterterrorism were uncompromising against terrorists here at home. He went on to say had to confront a poisonous ideology. But here the tenant colonel of the u. S. Marine corps. Some say he didnt have a strategy at to deal with isis. Who got it right . We all want our president to succeed and be safe, but how disappointing he gives a speech our own president should have given before this time. What they are facing, what they will have to do and still trying to figure out what we will do. I dont think our president has ever acknowledged the threat we face from isis. Most of us isis, not isil, something that went out six months ago. We listen to him talk, talk about the threat not only in terms of syria and iraq but the threat to the british homeland as well, there were gaps in the armory for dealing with 500 british passport holders fighting for isis. Does United States have have those same gaps for stopping people when they come home, track those who support isis and those kind of things . We will pull peoples passports, watching specifically for them and not accept radical ideology, these are things he is being firm about but we dont know what we are being firm about. One was a suicide bomber, have not heard anything from the president about what steps Law Enforcement or intelligence is taking to identify, locate, isolate and arrest them. He spent a lot of time in the military and intelligence world, what tools do american intelligence need to be able to go after these people and to try to stop this group before it is able to launch some kind of 9 11 style attack . The Prime Minister did a good job because he talks about the cooperation we have to have certainly after 9 11 we had Regional Cooperation unprecedented. Instead of just taking secrets was also giving secrets to allies and friends targeting against al qaeda as we were. We are running their own intelligence operation, different sources then we do, but we cannot compromise those sources as we have done in the past. Compromise joint intelligence by giving up sources of friends and allies. We have to be careful of what we talk about, but we have to work with friends and allies who are collecting, every american passport holder going into that area, track them when they are over there, the breadth, uk, and in many cases with the iraqis themselves it is going to be more comprehensive than we currently have, but a difficult one and the onus is on lawenforcement and intelligen intelligence. Looking forward, is isis a very different threat than dealing with al qaeda . The Prime Minister talking about that as well, a next generational threat, is this preventing a lot of challenges for u. S. Policymakers . I think it is. We have a lot to learn about this. Al qaeda dream state could have recruited a bunch of westerners who looks like westerners with foreign passports who could have been operating with them instead everybody who came to the u. S. With foreign passports with a visa, some have expired visas, but this changes the dynamic al qaeda was not had westerners with passports, so we have to look at things much different. The size of isis versus others, id÷sjat hp qaeda had, were dealing with not the jv team, but probably the premier team in the major leagues right now and we have to give thought to how we are going to deal with them. It is much more comprehensive response. How disappointing miss white house as of yesterday even admitting we dont have a strategy yet, we havent thought our way through it. Sinking of things as they go forward, the United States looks at this and as you are looking at this from a military planning strategy viewpoint, does the United States have to send in special operations to disrupt this state now that has become a state of terrorism threat than a terrorist group residing in a friendly state . They wont be able to get downtown syrian cities with western leadership, it is going to require locals we have worked with on some level, the iraqi Security Services which is not capable writes now of doing it. They can only operate up to the Syrian Border which means on the syrian side who we are going to be working with, we really have to work with the regional partners and regional militaries prepared to put some of their boots on the ground to go after these guys, theyre probably going to be afraid because they dont want to rile them up in their own countries, so it gets very complicated very quickly, but the longer we try to develop a strategy or think about what we want to do or fail to work with our european, the more they are building itself, the more money it is making. I thought the number was much smaller, maybe as many as 8 Million People. They are building. The amount of money they are getting also is unbelievable, turkey and nato allies on the north.

David cameron delivered a strong message addressing the growing threat to the United Kingdom and to western europe and abroad. Take a listen. This is not a foreign conflict thousands of miles from home we can hope to ignore. Ambition to create the heart of iraq and syria is a threat to our own security here in the uk. In addition to the other al qaeda inspired terrorist groups in that region. The first inspired terrorist acts on the content of europe have already taken place. Martha that message already drawing a sharp amount of criticism and contrast in interest, social media people are talking about it at this moment for the president s speech yesterday and how to compare these two things. A fox news senator joins me now. And we have watched this whole thing with us this morning, what are your thoughts was to mark a dramatic difference in the style of the two leaders. A stiff upper lip, giving relatively american standards short and direct answers. The statement itself is relatively short and answers are distinct and very straightforward. The president on the other hand increasing relies on a whole foods worth of salad to defeat questions rather than answering them is this invasion, the president will store dove rollout the word salad until discussion goes way, but i think the most significant thing is what you just played, the explicit naming of an islamic threat of these people who wish to impose religious rule on individuals at the root of this, and he even said this is not because of the iraq war. The narrative is because george w. Bush and the iraq war, it is that problem and this is where the aftermath of the iraq war. He could have blamed his predecessor of an opposing party, tony blair said it was the fault of the iraq war that this is going on and we are trying to mop it up but he defeated that concept and said this is about a global threat from islamism and use language that did not sound pc in manila washington. Martha it is striking given the fact David Cameron has been criticized for not being tough enough on this kind of extremism and that there is a pc feeling that has led to difficulties of this sort in the past but he really changed his tune today so dramatically and i want to look at some of what he said here. Banning hate, ensuring every government and state focused on beating extremism. He called it out for what it is, he also said most are peaceful, this is a battle between islam and extreme islam that is at the root of this, it is very interesting to sort of look at the fact we cannot appease this group. I thought that was interesting choice of words as well, chris. This is something western nations have struggled with which is with what are we at w war. And suspended up topping out and we said the war on terror. He cant have a war on a methodology of fighting, that is not a war. In the west people have been very cringing about talking about islamist and islamism. A political system that would impose that religion or a brand of that religion onto its subjects, and what you heard, i would argue, it is a significant step forward in the naming and claiming, the labeling of this conflict, his ongoing conflict dating back before september 11, 2001, to naming it something that is not just this pope color war on terrorism because that is not what it is. It is very different. Martha he really put it in global terms bid all of western europe is enduring a threat right now. Over the last several days people have talked about this, editorial writers saying there are parallels to what the world was like before world war ii, there was this nazis him taking over parts of western civilization as we knew it and it had to be dealt with a as a total threat. He put it in those sorts of terms for how he looked at it. Cameron has his own Political Considerations in the uk right now. Considering to vote to separate, he has inside his own party basically a british version of the tea party is pulling hard against his government, so he has a lot of pressure he is dealing with. Tons of concerns about jihadist just as in america as we see americans killed fighting for the bad guys, add to those concerns about the reimportation of islamic terrorists, when you have that possibility, that is what cameron wants to sound like. Like ronald reagan. Martha he sidestepped the participation in this. We are the greatest military, we have the greatest military the world has ever known. Toward his partner in that alliance to get with the giddy giddyup. Martha thank you so much for being here today. Happening now coming up. Jon there are new fears over terror attacks in the west as the terror Group Continues the rampage in syria and iraq, the uk today is raising its alert level. Should the United States follow suit . And the white house in damage control after the president suggests he has no isis strate strategy. We are awaiting the white house briefing, we could get some clarification on that. And they look at how the mainstream medias handling the story plus russias invasion of ukraine still ongoing and a new earthquake, center in san francisco. How it works. Happening now at the top of the hour. When you run a business, you cant settle for slow. Thats why i always choose the fastest intern. The fastest printer. The fastest lunch. Turkey club. The fastest pencil sharpener. The fastest elevator. The fastest speed dial. The Fastest Office plant. So why wouldnt i choose the fastest wifi . I would. Switch to comcast Business Internet and get the fastest wifi included. Comcast business. Built for business. Once. Luxury for some, the now come standard. You one day live in a home with solar panels . Good morning, adam. What better place to talk about solar than in california. Passive Development North the airport not far from the beach. Of course solar driving up sal sales. Once considered only a luxu luxury, it is now standard in a powerhungry world. That increase every single year because understand it is not just the mortgage, it is like to speak, cost, gas and water. It is a cost saver from the beginning, 20 cheaper during construction than after. This is part of why we are seeing such a fast trajectory because buyers want it. Could add up to 20,000 a homes price tag, it can be bundled into the monthly mortgage. The cost is offset by much larger utility bills. For the debt ratio and the mortgage to improve actually by the cost going down. That is not adding a cost with incentives at the local levels. A recent study in california for every kilowatt goes u up 6000. It tells you where the solar ties in. Sounds interesting. Very sunny california. Martha David Cameron, we will break it down straight ahead. Iowa couple struggled for years to get fred man. Now in the process of adopting a baby asking their friend for help on facebook. Tell everyone you know we want kid. It is not working. If you know anyone, or anyone who knows anyone in difficult situation please tell us about it. Tell them about us. Martha former coworker reached out months later saying her sister was pregnant and wanted to meet them. Now the couple is getting ready to officially welcome three week old calvin into the family thanks to social media. Some good things happen on social media. Good things happen in the world. After past couple of hours nice to see. Martha leland, thanks so much for being here. Thanks for having me. Martha happening now starts right now, have a great weekend, everybody. Happy labor day. Jon the terrorists of isis slaughter more than 160 syrian soldiers as their bloody march across the middle east continues. Hello, im jon scott. Heather im Heather Nauert in for jenna lee today. It is serious news day, a tough news day to bring you. There are new reports of a massacre by isis. This comes as Al Qaeda Linked group captured more than 40 u. N. Peacekeepers in the Golan Heights area between israel and syria. All of this coming as president obama put brakes on expanded us air strikes targeting growing isis threat in syria. Listen to this. I dont want to put the cart before the horse. We dont have a strategy yet. I think, w
