We need to cut off trade routes that terrorist organizations use to finalize goods. The same strategies we need to combat antiquities trafficking can be used in a broader strategy to combat isis. This task force discussed the roots that isis used to smuggle cash, we learn many of these routes run through turkey and jordan and has prepared marks for for todays hearing it was indicated that isis is using similar routes to smuggle antiquities of its territories. In addition he notes lebanon as was the volken route through greece and bulgaria are being used to smuggle illicit commodities. Currently theres ample opportunities for terrorist groups with a low risk of being caught. We need to do a better job police in these routes isis can no longer smuggle antiquities out of the territory that it controls. For the more we must curtail the laundering of antiquities that make it out of isis control of territory so these goods cannot be integrated into legitimate markets. As lawrence and mention
Night, that that troubled Training Program is now on hold. Holly williams found out why when she met a rebel commander who asked us not to show his face, for fear of assassination. Reporter colonel mustafa is a commander. Why have so few syrians been trained by the americans so far . Translator we gave the americans the names of more than 1,200 fighters he told us, and they only accepted just over 100 of them for training. But the strict vetting process is not his only complaint with america. When the first group of 54 u. S. Trained fighters entered syria in july, several of them were captured by islamic militants. Colonel mustafa told us america left his men vulnerable giving them too few weapons and too little ammunition. But the commander of the second group of 70 u. S. Trained fighters admitted to us that he gave half of his american weapons to alnusra, al qaedas syrian affiliate. He should face a military court, colonel mustafa told us, those weapons belonged to the syrian people.

These storms are part of a double threat. A hurricane could be on the way over the weekend. Eric fisher is our chief meteorologist at the cbs station wbz. Eric, how bad will this get . Scott, very stormy times ahead here all the way through this week and into the weekend. This began last weekend and yesterday with those big rainfall totals, double dinlitz in the Florida Panhandle and flash flooding in virginia. We have flood watches from North Carolina up into new england. This is the same area we will watch all the way through this week into sunday, perhaps into next week. It is a classic setup to funnel in a lot of tropical moisture. We have a dip in the jetstream drawing in a lot of moisture. It has nowhere to go. Its trapped on the east coast. Scott, this is the type of setup we want people to take note of a
Now and forevermore. Narrator if animals are our best friends, shouldnt we be theirs . Visit your local shelter, adopt a pet. Youll be in my heart no matter what. Cbs cares. If you were a hippie in the 60s, you need to know. Its the dawning of the age of aquarius. Yeah, and Something Else thats cool. What . Osteoporosis is preventable. All osteos preventable . Right on if you dig your bones, protect them. All cbs cares when a president ial candidate calls his tax plan amazing as donald trump did yesterday it calls for a reality check. So we asked Major Garrett to dig into the plan that trump calls simple, easy and fair. It will provide major tax relief for middleincome and for most other americans. Reporter under trumps plan workers earning less than 25,000 a year would pay no federal income tax. The top bracket would shrink from 40 to 25 . And the Corporate Tax would fall from 35 to 15 .

Stuck in traffic and cant get home in time for dinner with her kids. And in the very worst cases cases like we saw yesterday on amtrak it might very well mean a love one is lost. Congress looks at this like an academic exercise, numbers on a page to score points or balance a budget make an argument about which are worthy of support. That is not the real world. In the real world, the choices we make have an impact on peoples lives, on their incomes, it has impact on our nations ability to compete. On americas ability to leave the economy globally in the world. We in congress are failing to recognize the realworld impacts on the choices we make about transportation infrastructure. We have a passenger railroad that expired in 2013. We have a Highway Trust Fund on the brink of insolvency with no plans to fix it. We have an outdated Aviation System that we refuse to adequately fund. We have failed to upgrade the available technologies that can reduce the number of failures. We have appropri
