in egypt has been a very important member of the defeat isis coalition from the beginning they egypt deals with the threats of isis themselves and are dealing with it certainly currently in the sinai we also discussed the importance of the protection and promotion of human rights and the vital role of civil society in egypt with the presidential elections planned for the end of march the united states as it does in all countries supports a transparent and credible electoral process a bonus miss is in neighboring gaza for support and one of the main takeaways from that meeting. well i think the indication we got from the meeting was how challenging much of the rest of rex tillerson visit might be as well the us state department needed before tell us and left the us that there would be challenging discussions difficult discussions held across the region as to tell us and goes from cairo and on to kuwait and the rest of the gulf region he was particularly i think there was an admittance from the americans that they questioned they rose the issue they raise the issue of human rights with

here america has said that it is in syria only to fight isis today isis has been all but defeated in syria but you don't see the pentagon packing its bags our military policy in syria has not changed our priority remains to defeat of isis whether it's in iraq or in syria that is our intent to defeat isis and not do anything more than that united states will maintain a military presence in syria focused on ensuring isis cannot reemerge total withdrawal of american personnel at this time would restore assad who continue his brutal treatment against his own people so as to put its ability to the lack of a fundamental commitment to our agreements that is typical of current u.s. diplomacy including the reasons why the americans stay in syria rex tillerson peter he stated that the only goal in syria was the feet of ice or now they've got far more ambitious plans with more of the most with the mixed messages here is the pentagon staying general mattis said that the united states will stay in syria we'll fight in syria for as long as the united states wants to fight in syria i mean that's yo

assad is fighting isis the united states officially so has that it's fighting isis so why is the united states attacking assad's forces instead of isis the simple question no simple answer well we will know we got a non answer we got it we got to do exactly that inflection it was it was a deflection because he did not want to see the troops the official american policy is very different from the real policy that washington bush use and the real policy that washington pursues is. eliminating assad is that he that of syria that's and that's one of the reasons by the way that isis florist is syria without the support that the assad forces initially got from the u.s. from britain some other countries some other allies of the u.s. i says would not have flourished here i mean if there had been the illegal invasion of iraq in two thousand and three. it will be so influential that's what you say as you know iran has been gaining more into worms you know spread it july that is why it might be because of why why should he quit because of what will not be able to speak clearly clear to her beauty

i wouldn't say that isis came from al-qaeda it had kind of its own roots in the u.s. occupation of iraq and then spread into syria the number of passes and others who were imprisoned by the by u.s. authorities tortured there and that ends and so not that that's any kind of justification for what isis became but it has spread into syria and at times they were allied with both the u.s. backed free syrian army and with al-qaeda such as when east aleppo was taken but all through this this conflict while the u.s. government was maintaining their fiction pruning isis where they wanted to and letting it go when it came up against government areas they have never fought al-qaeda in syria and fact hold they have hold that thought we're going to go to a short break and after that short break we'll continue our discussion on some real news stay with us. everybody i'm stephen both test hollywood guy you know suspect every proud american first of all i'm just george bush and honored to say just this is my buddy max famous financial guru well just a little bit different i'm. going

u.n., the important work of trying to bring isis and the leaders of isis to justice is work that never ends and needs willing hands especially people with the education you are seething at the foreign service school. i think also politically voting for people who care about these issues and taking a hard look at your own really personal views. i think everyone has to purge themselves of prejudicial thoughts, worries about who is on top and who isn't and the world as it is today. you heard her say being born into a minority is hard. it's hard everywhere and if you find yourself in a role where you can speak out and speak up and not go along with the either remaining silent or even chiming in about derogatory remarks about women and girls, and also minorities but to focus on women and girls you will be that person, be that man who doesn't let it go on, who stands up for speaks out and use your voting power as a citizen in a democracy to also register your feelings about these issues. so there is a lot to be done and if you go into business, make sure that women are paid equally and treat

ever bombed the isis controlled areas of their resort before it was the great no never there are they now bombing the areas that have been liberated by the syrian arab army and its allies why because they don't want them to advance further more to the areas where they occupy was the oil rich obviously oil rich areas and there is storage as well they want to keep away from as the so-called s.d.f. which we don't have real information about except the fact that they were isis members that evaporated and then there was something. so we have all the kurds that we are talking about here so it's really going to it's really it's really amazing how they suddenly evaporate you know they're just airlifted out and that's what happens here ok. let me go to you here i mean this is the united states i mean it's interesting the area of northern syria that could run that's really where the serious all is ok and denying syria the ability to rebuild as a matter of fact you know telling the entire world that they will be sanctioned if you give money to the government in damascus to rebuild another one.

isis killed many members of nadia's family and then abducted her. thousands of men, women, and children were massacred or kidnapped by isis and hundreds of thousands have been displaced by the violence against their religious community. the women have faced additional abuse, the abuse of sexual torture at the hands of their captors. many were sold into sexual slavery at slate markets -- slave markets. nadia is a survivor. it was one of the fortunate who managed to escape her brutal captivity and has since devoted her life to being a voice for those left behind. she said, "it never gets any easier -- it never gets any easier to tell her story. each time, she said, she relives it. weaponed it is the best she has against terrorism and she plans on using her voice until the terrorists are put on trial. she has recently written a book about her experience entitled, "the last girl: my story of captivity and my fight against the islamic state." i hope you will all buy it. she has joined forces with amal clooney to insist that the international community br

the post-isis stabilization efforts. >> he went on to say although isis has lost control of much of the territory it once had, the group is still a threat. he said that it is morphing into an insurgency in countries like afghanistan and said that combating isis involves not only air strikes but cutting off funding and stopping the flow of foreign fighters. >> sandra: thank you. >> bill: so our viewers in case you are just joining us, these are the intelligence heads from all over washington the head of the f.b.i., the head of the c.i.a., that's christopher wray and mike pompeo and you know they will be in the cross hairs for questions about the russia matter and the dossier and on and on. catherine herridge tells us christopher steele is expected to be mentioned today. mid-term elections coming up in november nine months away. mark warner is the ranking democrat on the committee. in his opening statement he was all about well, pretty much all about russia. he mentioned it time and again about the coordinated attack during the election of 2016 and was asking the question repeatedly w

isis has met tas that sized into afghanistan. if the taliban were to regain control of the country, we would very likely see the same platform for that global reach of terrorists that struck new york and washington and pennsylvania on september 11th. having made that decision that we need to stop that platform from being recreated by the taliban, it then causes, as i was discussing with senator markey, a decision for the united states to maintain a presence and engagement in afghanistan automatically, because of the security situation, generating enormous costs. just for the state department. so our strategy is an effort to reconcile the cost, to minimize the cost to the u.s. government, both in treasure and more valuable in lives of my colleagues at the state department and those of my colleagues in uniform. but also do all we can to support the afghan government so that we don't have a taliban that resumes using afghanistan as a platform for terrorists. >> and could you add -- he's mentioned isis again. we've seen with our alli

fighters try to get back into the -- acts-isis -- ex-isis fighters try to get back it was terrifying. you factor in the ability of isis to export their fear and terrorism without having to lift a finger other than to press a few buttons on the computer and people going in their homelands. will i saw in western europe, i went to berlin, we have been to paris and brussels. one thing i know for sure is countering violent extremism is much more active in western europe perhaps out of necessity. they get into the neighborhoods, the getting to communities and they stop something before it happens by trying to anticipate someone breaking bad. we don't have that similar amount of effectiveness in the united states. do you remember san bernardino for example. people walked by the guys garage and they saw bombs. they knew he was upset, they did not know who to call. they did not know if they would be racially insensitive to call even though he was making bombs. in 14 people died in 14 were injured because nobody thought they should intervene. will in addition to the threat itself , it is inter

. - i think isi has had a strong relationship with the taliban. the details of that have never been completely clear or proven, but they have the support that they have. - there are some of our leaders that believed that there was a direct linkage. in fact, not just a direct linkage, but operational guidance and maybe even operational support for certain of the taliban. you could see potentially how that could be the case, by watching the taliban operate. i could never tell if there was a direct linkage, but i had to assume that they were getting support from somewhere. - the taliban is of different parts, and some have some kind of passing relationship with isi. and the idea that the isi can kind of control them, i think, is just absolute nonsense, because the pakistani taliban have killed untold thousands of pakistani's in pakistan. so, the idea that the isi sort of controls the taliban is a cartoon. it's not true. certainly they have relations of some kind. - [narrator] while concerns remain over potential support for militant groups flowing ou

isis have i'io probably more important. isis have no nationality. we talk about western hostages but there were also americans and brits and japanese and people who came from around the world and were taken hostage. i don't know if there is any kind of sovereign rule in terms of where they should be put. isis bills itself as an international caliphate and an international tribunal similarto and an international tribunal similar to those that were held with the balkan wars in bosnia would be more appropriate. the eu's chief brexit negotiatior, michel barnier, has issued a stark warning to the uk — effectively telling the british government, you can't have your cake and eat it. he said the uk's decision to leave the eu single market and customs union meant border checks at the irish border were "unavoidable" — something both the uk and the eu have said would be unacceptable.he also warned that without greater agreement on key issues like northern ireland, the two year transition period after brexit was not a given. the brexit secretary david davis

prime minister declared victory over isis. as we saw with the surge and the success, it gives the country's civilian leaders to forge some durable political -- and ironically i think the fight against isis has papered over some of the fault lines that will determine the future of the country. obviously, governance sue any, and lumbar province and the central governance of iraq. we've heard more concerns about the on going tension and the body taking -- and feared getting out and there's a lot of trepidation whether the security forces will make a move on a port in the border crossing. if we don't figure that out we can find ourselves fighting whatever it is. and the same holds true in afghanistan. a sense that the new strategy. my understanding is that the two men, wulipulling out and starte cry. again, over the long-term, do we have a sense how the afghans are going to sustain these gains without our significant involvement, i don't know, those are open questions. >> al qaeda has been buying time right in the affiliates and i

in israeli defense intelligence said that we prefer isis over the syrian government and he also. he was deeply concerned that the syrian government would survive so when you see. that sort of. that sort of language and on the other hand when you see the language of the former head of mossad who admitted on al-jazeera that israeli regime treats the wounded of al qaeda remember this is al qaeda the group that carried out nine eleven and he said we do this because they do not attack us the do not target us so it's obvious who is siding with the extremists and who isn't and they're in again the syrians and the iranians say that the drones are out there to defend here against the extremists and let imagine that if let's let's say that somehow this drone went over it is by the way occupied syrian territory and straight into israel the israelis have been flying over lebanon bombing syria not just hezbollah or anyone else they've mostly been bombing ok syrian army targets in defense of the extremists on their border with syria in the so there is no comparison with this is not the first t
