This morning ipts raising tough questions for the agency. Peter alexander is at the white house for us this morning. Good morning to you. Reporter good morning. This is a ninepage review for the department of Homeland Security. Nearly everything that could have gone wrong did and it also lays out what happened when Omar Gonzalez got through the front doors here at the white house, where he didnt run past agents, he walked. This is the home video of fence jumper Omar Gonzalez armed with a knife running across the white house lawn in september. A highly critical new report from the department of Homeland Security reveals exactly what happened that night. After barging through the white house front doors knocking a demale secret Service Officer to the ground gonzalez walked past the officer, who accidentally grabbed a flashlight instead of her baton, before pulling out her gun. Ignoring commands to stop he turned left and walked into the east room, then turned around and tackled by an officer in the hallway. The report adds the Counter Assault team didnt immediately enter because they were unfamiliar with the layout of the white house. And waited to get into a tactical formation before going in. This was just an unfortunate group of mishaps that all unbelievably happened at the same time. Reporter the review blames the secret service for performance, organizational, technical and other failures. It found as the secret Service Alarm systems and radios failed to work and many of the officers on duty didnt see gonzalez as he jumped the fence. Afung the failures the inaction of a Uniformed Secret Service canine handler in a van whose ear piece was out and wasnt listening to his twoway radio. Instead the officer was taking a personal call on his cell phone. And only saw gonzalez after seeing another officer chasing him. The head of the house Homeland SecurityCommittee Told nbc news more hearings are planned. This is a premier federal Law Enforcement agency that really has gone awry. Reporter the secret service says its changed its training and procedures, still Law Enforcement official tells nbc news that so far no one has been placed on administrative leave as a result of this report and at least for now the individuals involved remain on their posts here. Peter alexander, thank you very much. To chilling new threats from isis. A new video the group lashing out at the west. The man thought to be behind the mess is the leader some believe had been silenced for good. Richard engel is in turkey. Reporter good morning. Not just new data, there is new data that has come out from a respected british think tank that shows that u. S. Led air strikes against isis are not slowing the group and the video appears to show the leader is alive and well. He is perhaps the most wanted most dangerous man in the world. The last time we saw Abu Bakr Al Baghdadi was in early july when dressed the part he declared himself the ruler of his so called islamic state. Then he disappeared. As isis fighters terrorized through syria and iraq. Attacked daily by u. S. Air strikes. Until last week, iraqi official claimed one of those air strikes killed home run maybe just injured baghdadi. It seems those reports were wishful thinking. On thursday in an audio recording which isis was from baghdadi a man sounding much like him called on others to join the cause. And unleashed, quote, volcanos of jihad. Showing that hes getting a lot more credibility and more support. Reporter isis has proven effective as a propaganda war attracting more than just disillusioned lone wolves. A dangerous Egyptian Group pledged allegiance to isis as did an entire city in libya run by militants. Baghdadi thinks he has a state and is looking to expand it. In the new recording baghdadi no longer seems content to recruit individuals, he is looking to sign up groups or even states. Willie, savannah, back to you. Richard, thanks so much.
