Up to it. you heard over the weekend secretary of state john kerry saying the u.s. should be willing to sit down negotiate with bashar al assad, the leader of syria, in order to come up with some sort of solution. 200,000 people have been killed in syria over the past few years in this civil war. what do you make of this statement by the secretary of state? well that s not exactly the way i would have phrased it but it s been our policy for a long time this situation is ultimately only going to be solved by negotiations. but those negotiations have to include the opposition the assad regime the russians and the iranians. frankly, the russians could solve this tomorrow if they stopped supplying him and i think they might have some interest in doing so now that isis has come out of this whole cauldron of violence over there. the other thing you have to remember is that the russians work very closely with us to get rid of assad s chemical weapons. so this foreign policy stuff is very ....
The al qaeda group in yemen, launched a very sort of brazen attack on the u.s. consulate. they were actually able to breach it and raise an al qaeda flag. you ve got the sort of traditional threat al qaeda in the arabian peninsula. you ve got the saudis surrounded by shia militias to the north in iraq to the south in yemen, the houthi to the east in bahrain and to the west in syria. you have that added to the mix. then add to this the foreign fighters. we worry about foreign fighters coming back here. saudi has seen a good number of young men between the ages of 18 and 25 go to the fight and they have always been worried about their returning. remember there was a danish citizen shot by terrorists inside saudi arabia not that long ago. we have seen increasing presence on social media of isis flags being raised inside saudi arabia. so there are multiple threats. it shouldn t be surprising to anybody that the saudis are very concerned about this and taking it quite seriously. phil you ....
Of increasing our engagement in the ukraine, because you ve got to think three and four steps ahead if you re playing chess with a russian. i think we need to be very careful about what the consequences might be. another issue on iran i want to just raise with you, some have suggested since iran opposes isis in iraq and syria, for that matter the u.s. opposes isis in iraq and syria, maybe it s time for the u.s. and iran to coordinate this war effort against isis. what do you think about that? well here s the problem, and there has been a lot of talk about that but let s take what s going on in tikrit right now which is essentially an effort to take tikrit back from isis exclusively with shia militia and iranian leadership and some qods force. that s dangerous because if this again is viewed in particularly northern and western iraq as a shia-led war, then that pushes ....
A group of teens apparently on their way to try to join terrorists in syria belonging to isis this time they were caught and they were shipped back home. brian todd has been looking into a growing, very troubling trend, teenagers heading over there. what are you learning? tonight, british officials are so worried about teenagers defecting to isis that they are appealing for help from parents in immigrant communities. we have new information tonight on how more teenagers are making their way to syria and how isis is helping them. a tense moment at the airport in istanbul. three teenaged boys from northwest london grabbed by turkish intelligence. they were moments away from trying to make their way to syria, the british say, to commit terror. it was fortunate that the families realized very quickly what had happened that we had time to understand and work out their travel route. reporter: it appears the boys ....
That because your defense minister ehud barak said the other day that israel is prepared to seize control of those weapons if there is chaos in syria. how will you decide whether it is time for israel to intervene, cross the border into syria and seize those weapons? we hope we don t have to and i didn t necessarily we didn t necessarily consider seizing those weapons, there are other possibilities. but, i think this is a real problem. can you imagine hezbollah, the people who are conducting with iran, all of these terror attacks around the world, could you imagine that they would have chemical weapons? it is like al qaeda having chemical weapons. it is something that is not acceptable to us and not acceptable to the united states and to any peaceable country in the world. so i think that this is something we ll have to act to stop, if the need arises. and, the need might arise if ....
