CNNW New Day February 23, 2015

Shopping malls. We have all these angles covered the way only cnn can. We begin live in cairo. Whats the latest . Reporter well, alisyn we heard from the egyptian president saying a United Arab Force is needed. Its more pressing. He didnt give us too many detailsant what that would look like although the United Arab Emirates around jordan have offered assistance in their battle against isis. Libya is something for now egypt has turned down. The egyptian president also says the goal is to protect the countrys borders but added that if there were needed in other parts of the region that that could be an option with cooperation from arab brothers. We also are following the categorying of those peshmurga fighters in iraq by isis. A gruesome video coming out, a very telling video as well we are seeing these men are being paraded around this video intersupplies interspliced. We do not know the fate of these peshmurga. Thank you very much w. Le check back throughout the morning. We appreciate the report. There is however, a new threat from the Al Qaeda Linked terror Group Al Shabaab. They are calling for attacks on Shopping Malls here in the u. S. Homeland Security Officials are giving shoppers an ominous warning to be particularly careful. Nick have a lency joins us now from the mall of america in bloomington, minnesota with more. Nick. Good morning, chris. It was a chilling message from al shabaab ever every if weekend. They listed potential mall targets in the west including west edmonton mall in alberta, canada and this mall in mens mince the mall of america. They are taking extra security precautions. Since that video was released things have been business as usual. Meanwhile, the security of Homeland Security urging this mall to remain extra vigilant. They say there is no working threat they know of. I also over the weekend spoke to members of the Somali Community who said this is a ruthless group, saying the Community Still here is traumatized after one of their own was a shooter in the kenya West Gate Mall attack saying the Group Al Shabaab does not speak for the majority of somalis here in this community. Nick valencia its hard to fe if people will be going into this mall of america now this chilling warning has been given. The new secretary of defense in kuwait this morning talking about how to defeat isis. The unannounced trip comes as the terror Group Releases a new propaganda video claiming to show captured kurdish peshmurga fighters into cages. Ben wedeman will have more from us from iraq momentarily. We will bring from wlt lot colonel james reese and founder of tiger swann and manager editor of quarters, bobby goesch. I want to talk to you about this issue. We have two big headlines. Okay. We will deal with these mall threats and what that means. It seems its informing people more than informing them. The big issue, of course is this per accepted headline been by lets deal with the optics of it first. Al sisi. A good start. Can that happen . Its what you want to hear from arab leaders. Can it actually happen . It blames libya has striked a bomb. Isis targets there. So theyve already made some. Troops on the ground well im skeptical. Why . The Egyptian Army is great at beating up unarmed civilians at home but is not terrific at fighting a real armed threat. Theyve had very poor fighting with their own terrorism. Perhaps, but thats a very very low part. So the idea that they will send Egyptian Military across, the other thing, the syrian army probably the strongest arab army in the world with no concern for human rights perfectly happy to flatten an entire cities killing as many civilians as they like. They havent been able to defeat isis. I am not optimistic the egyptians. Its important to hear egyptian leaders take some responsibility. Especially because we kep saying here in the United States its the reasons responsibility for obvious reasons. Colonel, you taught me something i never heard of. Egypt is not a part of this coalition of existing 40,000 strong fighters that are arab already that are there in defense of the arab area. Tell us about them and why theyre there and if they can be a part of the equation. So you have the gulf council countries. The gc state all based along the arabian peninsula. They have a force, a 40,000 man force made up of all those countries, saudi, ayman, uae. Its been in existence for lots of years. Its used small during desert storm, to liberate kuwait. It has been used at other times t. Last time was used with bahrain when you had the shia uprising. They brought some of the forces over there to help in a police state in bahrain. But it shows me is there is a possible aspect or element or force that could be used. Now again not the type that will do maneuver work zmert and everything desert desert and everything. They can figure it out. We have to be the ones to consultant and coach and teach and mentor them along the way. They have a mechanism in place. Usually you start at zero. Two catches, the first one is as you told me all of the nations have to agree in order for the entire force to go. Otherwise it goes piecemeal. You need everyone to sign on. The second point thats interesting is what egypts motivation may be here. You believe, colonel, there may be a very opportunistic. Its not about isis its about acquisition. If im sisi i you a plaud him for going in and striking and being proactive. If you look at libya failed state. The oil sits on the egyptian border border. We have a force available. There is now a test of resolve. We will see what happens egypt not a part of that group, that Standing Force of arab fighters al shabaab we are hearing about isis lets make a big threat we cant pull off . There is certainly an element of al shabaab has been overshadowed by isis and by sort of we also seen recently al qaeda is making noise again. So sha bob feels perhaps they have lost relevance. There have been attacks recently in their home country in somalia. They are trying to mount a counter attack. It costs them almost nothing putting out a video saying hey, young people jung young somali we know there is a large population. Thats why they said mall of america specifically bus although its in minnesota, there is a somali population there that might be something they reach out to . We know that more than 20 Young American somalis have gone to fight in somali with al shabaab. We know at least 15 have gone to syria and iraq to fight with isis. So there is a community there they have been able to reach into and recruit from. Very small numbers. They have a network, some kind of chain that allows them to bring these people out. Now they say, you know what if you find it is hard to come out to us. You can do bad things in your neighborhood. Now all you need is a jack [ bleep ] with a gun, we seen that other than with domestic very from the derangeed mind. The women that we are hearing about going from increasingly cultivated backgrounds, Good Students going to syria to be with isis. What fate would they have there and what if anything would be the chris, i think theyre going there, there is this delusion they can go there and be with theed be boys. They will end up going into slavery, getting married off. Unfortunately, i dont think we will ever see them again. Thats my fear. As a father fathers have to get involved with tear young kids in these issues talk to them. Make sure they understand its a father thing. Are we cherrypicking examples or do you think there is something trending here . We seen examples before from france africa across the muslim world. Lots of young men are being attracted and fortunately the number is very very small. You have to feel for them. They are clearly going in with a mixed up idea of what they expect to see and nothing good is going to come of this. Nothing good is going to come from it. Thank you very much. Appreciate it. Alisyn. Okay chris. A bomb blast shatters a peaceful protest in Eastern Ukraine. At least two People Killed including a Police Officer and 15 hurt in the city. Ukrainian officials arresting four suspects they say trained in russia. This protest came on the 1st anniversary of violent demonstrations in kiev. The mayor of jerusalem called a hero after helping take down a palestinian teenager who stabbed an orthodoxed jewish man in the stomach on a busy street. The whole thing caught on video t. Mayor and body guards were in a car, noticed the attacker jumped out and took him down and held him until police got there. Luckily the man stabbed was only slightly injured. The parents of Kayla Mueller are speaking out since their daughter an american aide worker was killed in syria. In an interview on the today show they accused the obama policy to not pay for ransom in front of americans lives. These parents out there need to understand you would want anything and everything done to bring your child home. When asked if u. S. Officials did enough to save kayla, her mother said i think they wanted to. Thats the big question do they want to . Of course they want to save anybody they can. There is priority there is confusion. There seems to be a contradiction from this policy. Also it sounds right, we never negotiate with terrorists. We dont pay ransom that and also what they say and what the parent we have spoken to here on the show say, its not working. So that policy americans are still taken. Do you think americans wont be taken . Theyre still taken and theyre killed. We will discuss it more on the show coming up. Because the continues to happen. So you want to be straight on your policy. To the good news the good events last night. If you are a fan of birdman, they soared. Boyhood not so much. The best picture while largelying e ignoring the family drama that took 12 years to make. That was the only surprise. I know i watched Mikaela Ferrara last night. She is joining us live from Beverly Hills hotel. You look beautiful. You kind of cover the rest of the show. Well look a little bleary United States i am this morning. I am thinking of the people straggleing in from the parties, first, alisyn i think just ended a few minutes, even hours ago. Some are coming in here to the Montage Hotel. Moving performances moving emotional spoeshl speeches. But more than ever perhaps social issues really coming into the limelight in those speeches. Take a look. The evenings biggest honor awarded to the black comedy drama birdman. Lead actor Michael Keaton snubbed a best actor, instead, the prize going to theory of everything star Eddie Redmayne who highlighted neurological diseases. This guess to all of those people arnold the world battling als. Reporter it was a night full of purposeful and compassion fat speeches. The struggle for justice is right now.

The over threehour show hacked with criping performances lady go gas sound of music medley received a standing ovation as the surprising Julie Andrews made an appearance and it was john legend that moved the alist crowd to tears. A lot of emotion in the doll by theater last night. As you know a lot of rain out on the red carpet. We will talk about that later coming up. Selma not one of the big winners last night. All eight movies in the best picture category they all got an oscar. They all went home with an oscar. Sometimes not necessarily the ones they were going home with. It shows there was a little wealth spread around to all of the film. So much to talk about. We have Michelle Turner who i think is out still at one of the parties. Not that im judging. We will talk about some of the fashion and the big moments of the show. Alisyn did you get a chance to see a little bit . Just the first part. I had to be discipline and go to bed. I cant wait to see your highlights. Its great stuff. Thank you very much. There is action behind her this hour. People going their own separate ways. We will need to know the back story. And on this story as well Rudy Guiliani clarifying his comments questioning president obamas patriotism. Is he now making matters worse for republicans . In my world, wall isnt a street. Return on investment isnt the only return im looking forward to. For some every dollar is earned with sweat, sacrifice, courage. Which is why usaa is honored to help our members with everything from investing for retirement to saving for college. Our commitment to current and former military members and their families is without equal.

Congress returns today from a week long recess to continue the debate over authorizing war against isis. The weekend, Rudy Guiliani clarified his comments sort of about president obamas patriotism. Let us break it down shall we . We have Margaret Hoover and cnn political analyst john avlon editorinchief of the daily boast. This topic so daunting they couldnt even be in studio with us together. They are together apparently. I start with you, margaret a rebuff of Rudy Guiliani now you feel it makes better sense . First, you may or may not know john and i wouldnt be here if it werent for Rudy Guiliani we met on his campaign. I owe him my marriage. Oh no. And the hard part for me as a republican who once scratched face with the Republican Party and one new wave of a form of republicans is Rudy Guiliani used to represent that wave of republican an urban reformed republican and had different views on social issues and the hero of 911 and foraged the party and now retreated to what is essentially you know the same place as sarah palen in the sense that hes never going to run for office again. He is simply a caricature of himself but for comments like these which create a charade. I agree, republicans should have pushed back earlier. Of course the president loves the country. It demonstrates sort of the wave of fear of the base permeates this early primary process. John for people who are just waking up lets recap. Rudy guiliani said last week he does not believe president obama loves america then he just put out this clarification in the wall street journal. I did not intend to question president obamas motives or the content of his heart. My intended focus really was on his morale and how his actions may have damaged his performance. He wasnt expecting the backlash he got. He should have been. This op ed is definitely an attempt to walk back the comments to try to clarify what he said. What he said in that sentence is essentially he didnt mean to say the president didnt love america. Rudy is saying he didnt mean to question whats in his heart or his motives. Thats of course what that statement does. The initial doubling down i think compounded the problem. Look rudy is was a great transformational mayor. I was proud to work for him. There is no question the last few days havent been his hour. Thats led to an attempt to clarify. Sometimes these comments dont reflect the best in us in our politics or ourselves. I think this is one of those cases. Heres the hope margaret. Maybe, my favorite line in his op ed is he is saying i am hoping what i said can be the basis of the confidence and optimism we need to move forward. Obviously, the irony couldnt be more thick. He said that, he is talking about confidence and optimism. Maybe it is a chance at least for your team to say, worry not going to do this at least for the future. This is ugly and cheap and nobody liked it. I hope are you right. I dont think its a positive development when a former president ial candidate at the beginning of the president ial cycle these off what was essentially a tea party 20106789 its not positive or constructive. Its interesting you say a wing not rift because there is not a new narrative. All sorts of conservative media from the heritage found aics to fox news have made the point that the president is always on an apoll tour. He thinks america is flawed. Rudy guiliani was just continuing that wave length that weve heard a lot. Yeah if i may just as the author of a book called wing nuts, you are right there is a deeper rift. Thats one of the reason it caused such ripples. You had an area very much resuscitated by somebody who has commanded broad respect in the country. Certainly in the make i wake of 911. T
