CNNW CNN Newsroom With Brooke Baldwin March 13, 2015

British schoolgirls who ran away from home suspected of heading go syria to join isis. I can tell you that the two men can be heard and show you and its shaking and amateur. You will understand as the girls get out of the cab, and they are removing the lug gauge and checking the phones and getting ready to cross into syria. It was shot february 29th in turkey. They can not confirm it and the video is also said to have been filminged by a syrian spy thats working for the country and has since been detained by turkish officials. I have former u. S. Ambassador and he is now the dean at the George Bush School of Public Service at texas a m and its a pleasure to have you on. Welcome, sir. Thank you brook. Beginning with and not just the young woman. I am sure that you saw it but multiple other westerners and theres an odd fascination as young westerners to be drawn into this malicious and movement and terrorism. What could possibly be the draw . Brook, i think that it varies from place to place. Even from individual to individual and many parts of Europe Muslim immigrant communities even Second Generation is not terribly intergrated and not economically successful. Theyre and so for young people that feel that theyre treated as second class citizen plus the fact of being a young person this can be a dangerouslydangerous dangerously aluring proposition. Yeah we know that isis has blown up a headquarters and killing more than 40 there and still iraq forces say that theyre close from taking it back. Is that encouraging for you that iraq forces are holding their own against the terrorists . Obviously anything that stops or sets back isis would appear to be good but i think that its important that we take a close look at the nature of this force thats carrying out the offensive and decrete. How do you mean . Twothirds of that force according to general dempsey and the chairman of the joint chief of staff are not regular iraq forces. Theyre malicious and some of them have a whole lot of blood on their hands including ours and that of the civilians. The fact that irregulars of one of iraq sex are leading an offensive in an area thats controlled by iraq sunis is problematic at least. So how they comport themselves if theyre successful is going to be very important. Its a way of saying what happens after the battle maybe more important than the battle itself. With regard to the battle we have to talk about iran. I want to ask you and we brought you on because youre familiar with the iran general and referred to as the shadow commander and the dark knight. I know he was once called a truly evil figure and photographed on the frontlines. You dealt with him indirectly and can you tell me a little bit more of who this man is . He has commanded the iran revolution guard since the late 1990s, so a long time in the job and its irans external operation forces. They control, arm and train and proside operation directions to groups and to those iraq that lish sas so a capital and dangerous man. And i am going back to your point about some of these iraqs with the blood on the hands. There are photos that have surfaced that have appeared to show the forces and theyre holding up heads and its incredibly gruesome. What is the message these images are sending to the coalition and to the world . Theyre acceptedingsending a very very negative mess age everywhere. The audience is inside iraq and its the suni area that i mentioned earlier. To the extent that theyre seen not as liberators and the city occupied by a truly terrible group, theize lam Islamic State but out to kill members of another, its not going to be good. Final question in the last week or so has pledged aleens to isis. What to you and how do you read that and what is concerning to you about the alliance . Well its a pretty horrible group. What they have done to young girls is just awful. Whether theyre claim of allegiance to the state is going to change that much i dont know. Thats a far reach and this is a non arab region. We will have to see. In a sense they have established itself before this as violent, ex extremely brutal and no principals whatsoever and the the pledge of aniensllegiance. Thank you brook. You got it. Thanks to ferguson and a calm night there. Its really been a striking distance in the message of protesters in 2 hyundais and calling for the police reform. This time many many people there praying, singing for police and for the two officers that were shot the previous night and as protesters are expanding they have appeared to go for the search and they say that investigators have identified not one but two people that they want to question and one thats the shooter. The 911 call from the attack has just been released. We have an officer down. Officer down and shots fired at the station. All cars in route. Officers down. Officer down. The shooter appears to have had excellent i am. The red circle here respects where he or she was likely standing and seated when they pulled the trigger. Authorities say that the two officers were hit from about 125 yards away and you see the red line. Lets go to tom and he standing for us there near the hill where the shooter the Police Believe was positioned and tom help me understand how far. Were talking a football field and a quarter. Right. Were basing that on what the police say that they believe that the distance was. Were at the top of the hill and i am working my way down the street where the shooting occurred, and one of the things that we learned today analyzing this is that the crowd was actually not in front of the police. This was one of the things that we believed early in the case that the shooter required elevation and required it having to be at the top of the hill where you see the car coming now, and now we learned that the shooter would not have had to have been that high. The people were moved into the two parking lots and one on my left side and one on the right side and there were no protesters according to the media and according to susan and the st. Louis post dispatch reporter that was on the scene just a few feet from the Police Officers when they were shot. She told us this morning that the police had cleared the street and the shooter from the top of the hill up there or somewhere up that hill would have had a straight shot down. Now, were going cross the main street here and try to live to tell about it. When we cross the other side of the street this is the location where the Police Officers were when they were shot. They were in a line in this grassy area here near the fire hydrants and straight across and the shot would have come from up the street and the witnesses are convince that had the muzzle blast and the shooting was up the stleet and down and striking the officers here. Now, susan the reporter would you say just a few ten or 20 feel away from the officers where the shoots were fired and you see the media people. You have behind the brick wall once it started and she observed the Police Officers and Fire Department personnel that came out to rescue the wondered officers and take them to safety and treatment. Having analyzed the shots this morning we can see that its pretty convincing that they were not on the roof of any of these two stores on each side of the street and it could have been in the street and that nobody would have been blocking a clear shot from the street up above down to the Police Officers here. Its incredible to see the perspective as you walked it from the hill there to where the officers were standing. As we were reporting we know that theyre looking for two individuals and one of them even the shooter. Tom, thank you so much for walking us through that in ferguson missouri. Next alarm bells over russia and it maybe difficult to defend the United States. Hear what theyre trying to do. This as a lot of people have been asking where has putin been . The rumors are flying about the receipt absence. We have more on that. Also just heart wrenching video of the man that was car jacked by the boston bombers two years ago. His story and his story inside the dwasgas station and how he managed to escape coming up. Kind of like mute buttons equal danger. That sound good . Not being on this phone call sounds good. Its not muted. Was that you jason . It was geoffrey it was jason. It couldve been brenda. Building aircraft, the likes of which the world has never seen. This is what we do. Thats the value of performance. Northrop grumman. Congratulations. Youre down with crestor. Yes when diet and exercise arent enough, adding crestor lowers bad cholesterol up to 55 .

As you know the economy near collapsed but the Russian Military is a whole different story. Theyre increasing the capabilities so much that the u. S. Am rald is warning u. S. Lawmakers about this. Specifically mentioning russias long range missiles. The element of the missiles that they have that have a very long range that from the russian and eastern russia they recollect range critical structure in alaska and canada that we rely on for the Homeland Defense mission. With me now is a familiar face with us here at cnn jill and an action pert on russia and jill you heard the reporting and we know its been going on but what is the motivation here for the the longer range missiles . Well russia is showing what it has. If you ask the russians they would say look the United States and some other countries but especially the u. S. Do this all of the time. Its a show of force. They fly around the world, and were just doing the same thing. We could not afford it before and now we have enough money, and were going to show the power that we have and what theyre talking about and what the commanders are talk about are the heavy bombers and he says that more patrols outside of russia since the end of the cold war. They have been over flights around countries in europe as well. So the concern i think is not only those, but what russia is doing in terms of building up as this commander says working on long range and conventionally armed cruise missiles. He points out that you do not know when the missiles are lets say whether theyre conventional or nuclear. Its all part of the nervousness right now thats dangerous that talking about the potential of some type of Nuclear Conflict because of ukraine. Nobody on either side wants anything like that but theres a lot going on right now. Right. So theres the nervousness but then the questions over putin because the man has been oddly mia. We have video of him that just came out of him today, but the caveat and people have been wondering where he has been and the speculation. What are you hearing . All you have to do is go on twitter or on the web in general and just google putin, and youre going to find a lot of insane things. If its true that the last time he was seen at least up until a few hours ago was a meeting with the italian Prime Minister then he had several meetings that were scheduled and supposed to meet with the fsb and thats the former kgb and have talks with the president of others and did not show up. So now in that the situation right now it always must go and always has been a center for rumors and speculation and its in high demand at this point. As soon as the president does not show up and thats rare for him people begin to question. Where could he be . Well he could be just look on the web. He would be all over in a yoga retreat. Seriously there are some explanations and he could be sick. The flu is going around and that might be the more normal thing or the schedule. They continue to say that he feels fine. His hand shake could crush a mans hand. Theres a rumor that he has a girlfriend. That the girlfriend is having a baby in switzerland. Now he denies that too. Now, all i am saying is that you have to look at it in terms of why the insanity. One of the problems is that people are very nervous and where is putin . Is he in charge . Could there be a pallace . Its a situation is serious. Even if the rumors sound bazaar. You had me at yoga retreat and the mental image was priceless. Jill, thank you for coming on. Ask always appreciate it. Speaking of putin, we spoke of the man that spins the the russians president s tunes. The unofficial dj thats played the kremlin and here is dj phoenix. When you think of the worlds music capital, moscow probably does not come to mind. Dj phoenix has grabbed International Experience like you putins private shows. You have gotten a lot of attention lately because you have played in the kremlin. Yeah its a special place and a history place. He is the first dj ever to spin in the president residence. I was a little bit nervous. Somebody say no dj phoenix and everybody say who . Dj . Theyre not raving. They do not have dance floor in kremlin. They have such International Appeal and it grew out of europe and around the the world. Was it always poplar in russia . Its a fresh thing in russia. Its my genera of music. He maybe breaking the ground but critics say that the freedom of speech is in the country and its been met with severe counsel convinces. The american impression is that theres a lot of censorship of artist. Is that true . I dont want political message in my music. In dance you only want good emotions and dpeelings. Its not a problem to write my lyrics. He decided not to enter russia with the service. Do you feel that limits opportunities for artists in russia . Of course. Its a big way to promote music. Its not good for mu situations and artists. What is it about the russian market that makes it difficult . The black mashrket and hard to control music. If i can help something to control the situation in russia i am ready. How do you make money if you cannot cannot sell the music . Its our shows. There are tensions between the u. S. And russia. Any reactions from the american fan based . They want to find something good. Its not important american or russia on chinese. Everybody wants something, and i do everything for these people for young people. Thank you very much. We want to go to lawyer Stephen Jones and he is respecting the fraternity and they have been shut at the university of oklahoma and the resent chants caught on video. Lets take a listen. I have a prepared statement that i will read. I have copies of it for you. There maybe some issues and i will try to take a few questions time permitting. If anyone has to leave, thats certainly fine. I understand that. So thank you for coming and i will address why i am here. First let me tell you that the board of directors of the chapter of Oklahoma University retained to me yesterday afternoon to assist them in evaluating certain legal you issues and other matters that may impact the local chapter of sae and its members as a result of a resent incident and action by the university of oklahoma on that. Let me tell you that were not here because were interested in a legal solution. We hope and i hope that my statement will make it clear that we seek to have some other resolution of this matter. There have been i have been retained to respect the chapters and the members that they wish for me to do and any matters that may relate to the due process of the students but our first concern is for the miz physical safety. There have been some incidence involving current members of sae where Death Threats have been placed. Where they have been physical assaults or alterations on the university of oklahoma campus and where some of the students who are members have been afraid to go to class and the parents have expressed their own concern about the well being of their children and the Corporation Shares in that and we take the opportunity to make the concerns known to the university of oklahoma and i am sure that they will respond in an appropriate manner. Second, all of us agree that the actions that lead to this matter at the university of oklahoma are inexcusable. Let me be clear. Theres no justification for what occurred. Zero. The incident however, occurred on one of five buses. Each bus had 55 seats. There are over 100 local members of the sae chapter and they were going to the founders day banquet at the Oklahoma City golf and country club. Must of the buses had somewhere between 25 and 27 members and their dates. Were talking of one incident with a nine second video on one of five buses. Above all else the board of the local chapter that i represent is concerned about the physical safety. Thats our first concern and paramount concern. Secondly we are interested where needed to act to protect the Due Process Rights the First Amendment rights and the 14th amendment rights of the members. These include those rights for due process and disciplinary hearings. Due process before the national sae chapter and i might say that i talk today the general counsel of sae today and was assured by reviewing with him the provisions of the sae National Chapter and by laws that they do afford due process to members of the sae fraternity that are suspend suspended. We hope that the university will do the same thing. We extend to them the initial belief that they will do the right thing. We stand ready to protect the rights of the student members. Finally as i said this matter is not one that seeks a legal solution. We seek to invite the university and its leadership president borin and his representatives and where appropriate we consider it a good idea to invite respectives in oklahoma and the state and Oklahoma City chapters of the naacp. We believe that working together in a positive manner we can find a solution that is acceptable to everyone to make this a teachable moment and educational moment for what is is seriously a flaud incident and we will seek to accomplish that. It was president borin that said
