it's a typical isis crime, isis terror attack and turkey has been fighting isis in syria. it is a secular target, night life, can be targeted. all this makes many nem turkey think this is another terror attack by this notorious group. >> this continues to happen in part is it because turkey continues to fight inside syria to push isis back, in fact, turkey has had gains obone time that would prohibit isis, that's their route they take, so as long as turkey's in syria it seems isis will try to retaliate in this hanius way, is that right? >> that is probably the case, i think turkey is -- turkey has troops inside syria and fighting against both isis and the kurdish rebels in coalition with russia lately so that is probably one major reason why we have this attack and retaliation against turkey and actually if you look at isis propaganda over the past few years, they began condemning the turkish government as an apostate regime. narratives about conquering istanbul with their religious army so in that sense it's not a big surprise. but this also touched nerves in turkey betwe

in the war against isis. indeed, turkey has over the last several months sent tanks and warplanes across the border into syria, in a coordinated campaign with western backed syrian opposition fighters tried to capture several isis strongholds, but you think erdogan has, what, tacitly supported the islamic state in the past, and therein lays the trouble? >> look, absolutely. i mean, look, erdogan, this guy was arrested in 1999 for inciting religious violence himself. there's a reason why in turkey, the military stood against islamic governance and erdogan has done everything he can. and a lot of this is his own policies come home to roost. you know, if you look at just on friday, turkey, you know, their director of religious affairs issued at a sermon said celebrating on new year's eve is illegitimate. muslims celebrate new year's eve off of a different calendar. for them new year's was october 3rd where they celebrated the year 1348. celebrating the gregorian calendar new year's eve goes against their faith.

if you want to beat isis, you have to beat isis in iraq. iraq is the second i in isis. islamic state in iraq and syria. isis took over huge swaths of iraq. they took over iraq's second largest city. the fight against isis can't be waged without iraq. the fight against isis has unified and mobilized all these different factions in iraq to all pull in the same direction. it's an existential thing for their country to defeat isis. and iraq as a country is motived to do it. and the skill and the firepower and the experience of u.s. troops is absolutely a force multiplier in terms of increasing the likelihood that iraq will defeat isis. so it is a delegate thing that u.s. troops are involved in this. but it is important. and this is something that we do not want to screw up. and this is something that is now being screwed up by our new president. >> we should have kept the oil. but, okay. maybe we'll have another chance. but the fact is -- should have kept the oil. >> that was the day after he was sworn in as president, his first full day as president. no longer a candidate

there may be isis fighters hiding inside? >> ( translated ): of course, there are. >> reporter: what do you say to the officials who say, "we've got a real security problem. we can't let them leave."? >> if the screening processes are not working, then improve the screening processes. but once someone's been cleared through that process, it is unacceptable to be holding them in a camp that is essentially being used as a prison. >> reporter: miad says she now wishes she had never left mosul. >> ( translated ): i need my husband by my side. when i am sick he takes care of the kids, and makes sure we have food. but now i have no one, only god and my two kids. my life here is very hard. if i had known they would arrest my husband, i never would have left my village. >> reporter: some residents held out. iraqi armed forces had cleared this village in north mosul 20 days ago when we arrived, and civilians here chose not to go to the camps. but now that the iraqi army controls this area, checkpoints are everywhere, and no one goes i

so, of course, it's way too early to say that this is isis. we don't know if this is isis. in this theater, authorities are usually toggling between two groups, between isis and between an offshoot of the pkk, a kurdish insurgency. the kurdish group have not targeted in general areas that have large civilian populations. they have tended to hone their attacks against security targets, not always, but in general. the fact that it is a nightclub makes you start thinking, makes the arrow towards a jihadist group more likely. >> okay. great. thank you so much, "new york times" reporter. covers that region, thank you so much. we'll have more on this breaking story out of istanbul right after this at the top of the hour. when heartburn hits, fight back fast with tums smoothies. it starts dissolving the instant it touches your tongue. and neutralizes stomach acid at the source. ♪ tum -tum -tum -tum smoothies! only from tums blan. >>> good evening to you. breaking news coming out of turkey where it's now 6:01 a.m. local time. it is january 1, 2017 in istanbul, turkey, and fortuna

the question whether it's isis inspired orç isis directed and this concept of basically the information that's put out ju)ás how is the government dealing with that? trying to crack down on that, whether it's inspired or directedç online? >> it seems like evidence that it was inspired by ÷úisis, inspired by isis, but, again, you cannot separate. it was inspired recently by isis, butv: palestinian, totall exposed to the palestinian media and to thezv messages that and s must die. you cannot really -- what weç e lately that most palestinians are inspired by isis, faces a 5=99ñ and it's the case like islamic b giad, this is a new phenomenon and we're able to see how we can eliminate or minimize such attack. generally, speaking,ç we're ve experienced. we have very good services, usually, we manage to depict avp to prevent in advance, even sometimes lone wolves in advance, butu! despite our experience we don't have 100% success, and yet,ç deticket younger soldiers in jerusalem is other testimony thatym created . and thezv final conclusion shou be that we have all the world to uni

i wonder if you have any sense if this is something that is directed by isis, inspired by isis. what can you tell us, congressman? >> yeah, turkey is ending a deadly year and rolling into what seems to be another one. and looking at the statement that came out on twitter yesterday from isis, it appears that they sat back and waited to see if this individual was going to be caught or someone else would claim responsibility by calling him a soldier of the caliphate, which would suggest that this is an individual who is identifying himself with isis, but was not directed by isis or in coordination with them. but that investigation continues and i'll learn more tomorrow when we get back to washington. >> as we've been saying, congress gets back to work tomorrow and republicans are ready to go. they'll try to repeal obama's policies, a lot of them, pass their own, confirm the cabinet, focus on the supreme court. so what's the strategy on your side of the aisle? how do democrats go about picking their battles? >> sure, in the first hundred days, i believe we have to be in a protect po

isis still holds western parts of the city. we spoke with lieutenant general abdulwahab al saadi, who told us he's counting on more support from president donald trump. what do you need most? "we need air strikes," the general said. "we need more equipment, including drones." that might be a tough sell with the new president, given that the united states has launched countless air strikes in the assault on mosul and spent millions retraining and arming iraqi forces. but the general told us the iraqi army still needs more help. for those in mosul exhausted by the fighting, that's the last answer they wanted to hear. in a sign of how difficult these battles are, scott, we weren't allowed anywhere near the chemistry lab because we were told isis left a building booby trapped. it's a typical isis strategy that slows down iraqi forces while militants regroup elsewhere. >> charlie d'agata in mosul tonight. charlie, thank you. >>> coming up next, more than a million protested the trump inauguration. so what's their next move? and late

military are making gains in their push to drive isis out of iraq's second largest city, mosul. our charlie d'agata is there. >> reporter: it has been more than a hundred days since the battle to retake mosul began. even with a backup of u.s. air strikes iraqi forces have only recaptured the eastern side. as we drove through the streets, we witnessed a trail of destruction, in the fighting that had raged here. the journey made more eerie by the fact that isis militants and sympathizers might be watching. iraqi commanders believe a number of isis fighters were aocals and simply melted back into the community. y.aqi special forces took us to s sul university, the scene of a ferocious battle to recapture an isis hq. retaking the university was a strategic and symbolic victory for iraqi forces. it served as an isis headquarters, a command and control center which made it a prime target for u.s. and coalition air strikes. aiptain saif ali told us some isis fighters fought to the death. >> do you remember how many car bombs? three car bombs? mbaqis believe isis used the university as

military says isis fighters who escaped the ground offensive that retook the city, the isis fighters flew to the two camps in the desert. the u.s. african command put in a request to strike them, and president obama approved the mission. in a globe-circling feat, four americans took off from missouri, they flew 34 hours round trip. they had 15 separate inflight refuellings and they completed that mission. defense secretary ash carter announced it at the pentagon once the the bombers and the pilots were back home safe on thursday. >> first in libya, our africa command conducted air strikes against two isil camps south of sirte. initial estimates indicate the air strikes killed more than 80 isil fighters, many of whom converged there after fleeing from local partner forces who had cleared sirte last month with our help. >> with our help. so u.s. military force helped clear isis out of the city of sirte in libya, and when the u.s. military was convinced that isis fighters who escaped that had regrouped in the desert, u.s. military pilots flew this remarkable mission from all the way aro

what turned into isis was there but didn't have the name isis. it is now a big issue and an issue that donald trump is going to have to -- made a lot of promises about and people will want to see what will he do? >> the administration points out isis has been rolled back in terms of the amount of territory it has in iraq, for example. but sadly the radical islamic philosophy and ideology has continued to infect thousands and affect us. alex pappas, thank you for your insight this morning. >> 35 russian diplomats and their families have left the united states after being expelled as part of sanctions announced last week. the obama administration accusing moscow of meddling in the 2016 presidential election and now we're learning there is debate in the intelligence community and how much information about it should be declassified. catherine herridge is live in washington with that. >> after last week's joint intelligence assessment released by the f.b.i. and homeland security we learned there is a healthy debate within the intelligence community i

isis sees the turks as one of their key enemies. how difficult do you think it will be for the turkish authorities to find the single gunman, who was able to escape the chaos of what followed? who knows? it's irrelevant, there are plenty of gunmen who are capable of doing this with a kalashnikov, which is what he was armed with. isis has a lot of people able to do this, they have good intelligence. all the indications from the turkish media are that the nightclub and the escape route and the actual operation were well planned. but how important is it politically for the erdogan government to show that they have carried out a thorough investigation and tried to find the person responsible? your point is good. erdogan is under a tremendous amount of pressure. one thing he promised the turkish people, two things, peace and prosperity, and given the attacks by daesh or isis on the one hand and the pkk on the other, he certainly hasn't given the turkish people peace. and in terms of prosperity, this has an impact on the markets, it has a

isis took a back one month ago. their capabilities against isis are relatively minimal. we appreciate you taking time to speak to us. thank you and happy new year. thank you and a happy new year to all. and we'll find out how this story — and many others — are covered in tomorrow's front pages. at 10.15 and 11:30pm this evening in the papers — our guests joining me tonight are caroline frost, entertainment editor at the huffington post and robert fox, defence editor at the london evening standard. return to index of stories... police in oldham are hunting for a hit—and—run driver who knocked down two girls from the same family, leaving one dead and the other fighting for her life in hospital. twelve year old helina kotlarova was killed when crossing the road with her eleven year old cousin. eye—witnesses said the girls were holding hands at the time. from oldham, danni hewson reports. today's family gathering should have been a celebration. instead, it was about sharing grief. the flowers laid here for 12—year—old helina kotlarova, killed in an apparent h

that isis is on a role. that would be the wrong conclusion to draw. look at the characteristics of leadership, money, recruiting. there is none of these where isis stands as strong as they did two years ago. one of the implications of this attack is that isis, look how they're characterizing the turks, isis is trying to use this attack to portray turkey as alive with the west. with the christians and to portray itself as defenders of muslims because i think most people including in turkey and syria review them as themselves. i think they're losing allison. i think it's clear. >> we really appreciate that context. thank you very much. >> happy new year. >> you too. >> the nfl playoff picture is set. this after the packers beat the lions to win the nfc north. we'll have a look at wildcard weekend. that's comes up in a few days. the bleacher report is coming up next. after expanding our fiber network coast to coast. these are the places we call home. we are centurylink. we believe in the power of the digital wo

isis may not have directed him to do this, but isis just saw something that works. it will be open season on travellers. i hate this. this shows this kind of thing works. if we don't get our acts together quick, it will happen again and again. >> megyn: given that. there is always the danger of copycats. what are people supposed to do? you have to go through the system. you have to stand in a long line for security and to get your bag, going away for 2 weeks with a family of 5, you can't carry on luggage. >> go ahead, brad. you travel at the most off peak hours and get a known traveller number. show up with your own boarding pass and do carry on. >> they have a system of channelization so you don't have people standing in big areas. if something goes off, it's limited to a single area. your best defender is yourself. pick up and do what you can to keep looking around. your instincts, if you have that little hair on the back of your neck, that should tell you to do something. >> megyn: and the airports are gun-free jones. -- zones. nobody had a weapon there. they are

even as isis loses ground geographically, the isis phenomenon, the idea, will remain in europe and the united states because of the power of the internet. >> we should note there was another car bombing in baghdad today, perhaps dozens killed there. that reminds me, phil, i know you're an intel guy, not a military guy, but this assault on mosul we haven't heard about in a while. how significant is the battle for mosul? >> the battle is critical. they're two critical places we're talking about. raqqah, where the coalition forces have expanded air operations in the past few weeks, and mosul, where the iraqi military, especially militias, are moving in. there's progress on both fronts if you see those as the heartbeat of isis. 2 1/2 years ago, a blink of an eye in counterterrorism stuff, 2 1/2 years ago we were talking about isis moving across western iraq with very little opposition from the iraqi military. so you can see maybe fits and starts in the offensive against them. i think it's inevitable, whether it's mosul or raqqah, that isis will lose. the question is where they go after, an

isis. i think it will be very successful. okay. that's big stuff. have a good weekend. [ applause ] [ inaudible question ] >> totally. not a muslim ban, but we're totally prepared. it's working out very nicely. and we're going to have a very, very strict ban and we're going to have extreme vetting. which we should have had in this country for many years. thank you, everybody. thank you very much. >> thank you, appreciate it. have a great weekend. >> just receiving in this tape from the white house. president trump as you see there as the pool leaves the oval office as signing three executive orders. one related to lobbying, one related to the national security council and one represented to isis, defeating isis. this was somewhat expected this afternoon. >> sanctions would be limited against russia, that were not part of the three signed. the second that he mentioned, national security council will be rearranged to be more responsible to potentially digital threats. this coming from reporti

so the choice of target and isis claiming responsibility mean that it is slightly, if not isis directed, at least isis inspired. >> there have been so many terrorist attacks within turkey in the past several months, phil. isis has claimed responsibility. other terror groups have claimed responsibility. other rebel groups have claimed responsibility. what is happening inside turkey? >> i think there's a couple things happening. on the ground what you're seeing isis do over the course of time is to accept that kisis would conduct add tacks without claiming them. there's a war between the two because of turkey's air operations, ground operations against isis, its affiliation with russia. moving forward what this does for isis is create an enemy. they have the iranians, syrians, the turks are on board. it tightens the turkish cooperation in a way. isis is causing a lot of tragedy in turkey. in the long term they've created so many enemies that this will be the beginning of the end for them, too many enemies for them to defoet. >> some people think, peter, turkey's government appears unable

isis tweeting this out. it says that the attack was carried out by one of the soldiers against a popular nightclub while christians celebrating the holiday. it is important to note that many people killed and injured in the nightclub were muslims celebrating the new year. they also said that the government of turkey should know that the blood of muslims who get killed by the planes will be set afire in their own country. recently, turkey has been on the offensive against isis in the city of al baab. we cannot independently verify this claim. nor has isis given details about the individual who carried it out. there is a massive manhunt going on. the prime minister confident they will catch him saying the strong coordination with the security services. >> 39 people dead, ian, in the atta attack. still no identity of the attacker. what is the latest on the manhunt? >> reporter: right now, turkish police and authorities have been tight lipped about what they are doing. apparently with the information that isis s

turkey isis has declared war against. it was very underreported i think two weeks ago just for the holidays that isis had captured two turkish soldiers. the j they have said that turkey is now considered to be, you know, an enormous targt for isis. which is a belated acknowledgment given that turkey suffered the most number of attacks. in 2014 they had something like half a dozen or seven isis attacks and the turkish government previously wanted to downplay this because the focus must have been foreign policy efforts and military efforts against the kurdish separatists insurgency that it has been fighting for 40 years. now it looks like this is a very nasty case of blow back. >> all right, terrible situation. michael weiss, we appreciate your expertise on that. thank you so much. >>> sara is in istanbul. are you learning anything more about the direction of this investigation? >> no, but we are learning more about the victims. now, we know that 24 of the 39 people killed here at this nightclub are foreign nationals. so, t

it wasn't isis. that's why he was reluctant to fight isis. when he moved in to northern syria, he moved in to stop the kurds from consolidating their opinions as the fight against isis. it's a complicated situation and one that is dang ruls for tdang for the turks. >>> coming up, weather woes. 2017 starts off with a rough round of wind, hail and dangerous conditions. what you need to kno next. this is msnbc. knowow busyour li. mom: oh no... tech: this mom didn't have time to worry about a cracked windshield. so she scheduled at safelite.com and with safelite's exclusive "on my way text" she knew exactly when i'd be there, so she didn't miss a single shot. i replaced her windshield giving her more time for what matters most. tech: how'd ya do? player: we won! tech: nice! that's another safelite advantage. mom: thank you so much!

i love that they're laughing at isis, i think it could have gone further. i liked the part with the muslim girl where she had the vest and they said "they blow up so fast fast." >> tom: i think they have doors. come on. >> i don't like the statement in this petition that saying the real fear, they're saying this is a misrepresentation of muslim women, the real thing is we are afraid that isis is going to blow stuff up again. what about the muslim women, no one is going to watch that, it's wives of isis, people are going to think it's all muslim women. they're petrified as everyone should be, but you do it anyway because it's fun. do on that point you just made, it was almost a point. that was a good point. bill? >> should we clap? >> thank you. >> tom: this is right up your alley, i bet you left at it. >> i thought it was an isis recruitment video, i almost joined. this many women at once? you >> tom: did you see how lite that chain was? >> that ship has sailed, just today we had a home secretary, she said "i think we should give it jobs to british people,

isis attack. on twitter, isis saying they were the ones behind it. one of their soldiers carried it out targeting the nightclub. targeting a christian celebration of new years. it is important to note many of the victims of the attack were muslims celebrating the new year. isis saying this is retribution for turkey involvement in syria. they are battling in the city of al baab. turkish forces hope to take that city soon. turkey and isis have been battling it out. isis hand been cas been carryin attacks. there is a nationwide manhunt under way. according to the prime minister, there is strong coordination. if this man is an isis operative, there is fear he will try to sneak back into syria. there is a ticking clock to capture him. >> ian, tell us about the nightclub attacked. international center for all people to come and celebrate. >> reporter: that is right. a symbol of cosmopolitan istanbul. famous. one of the longest running nightclubs in the city. frequented by actors, athletes, celebrities.

because he is taking action on the ground against isis, isis is striking back. >> let me read you part of what president erdogan of turkey said in the wake of this attack. a a nation, we will fight till the end against not just the armed attacks of terror groups but also against their economic, political and social attacks. what do you see as erdogan's move next? i mean, this is someone who is obviouslily de obviously dealing with a failed coup, a coup no less. this is someone who clamped down incredibly on those who oppose his government and his rule, including journalists. what do you expect he'll do next? >> well, first of all, he's got a constitutional referendum coming up. that is his most important priority, to change the constitution, give himself more presidential power. some of what's going on, particularly the fighting against the kurds, is based upon that. but the underlying problem is until daesh, isis, is taken care of, he is going to face these kind of attacks all of the time in turkey. not only turkey, but all of us are going to have to try harder to take down isis in it

isis still holds western parts of the city. we spoke with lieutenant general abdulwahab al saadi, who told us he's counting on more support from president donald trump. what do you need most? "we need air strikes," the general said. "we need more equipment, including drones." that might be a tough sell with the new president, given that the united states has launched countless air strikes in the assault on mosul and spent millions retraining and arming iraqi forces. but the general told us the iraqi army still needs more help. for those in mosul exawsed by the fighting, that's the last answer they wanted to hear. in a sign of how difficult these battles are, scott, we weren't allowed anywhere near the chemistry lab because we were told isis left a building booby-trapped. it's a typical isis strategy that slows down iraqi forces while militants regroup elsewhere. >> pelley: charlie d'agata in mosul tonight. charlie, thank you. coming up next on the "cbs evening news," more than a million protested the trump inauguration. so what

or have a positive attitude towards isis or perhaps be fans of isis in some way, shape, or form, that they're working through right now. they're most probably also using electronic intelligence, trying to listening to phones, trying to listen to any sort of other electronic messaging apps to see whether or not they can get on the trails of this person because, of course, he is still out there, they believe, and he is most definitely still armed and very dangerous. wofrl whe wolf. >> colonel frank ocona, is it r for them to claim an attack like this in turkey. what's the strategy behind that? >> as fred says, when isis claims this, it usually turns out to be true, and this is only the second time we've seen them claim an attack in turkey. they were fairly quick to come out with this, and they described very in detail what happened, and they are using two different terms. they're using soldiers of the cali califat and supporters of the islamic state. i guess people inspired. why are they going afternoon the turks now, and we're also satisfying increased activity in the baghdad area. isi

and talking about isis and intelligence agencies pushing him to join isis. what more would it take to get in front of a judge and be declared mentally defective? >> i think you know, at the lowest level you put a cooling period, if someone has a firearm and they have a license, that's fine. we don't want to, circumvent their second-amendment rights. but maybe we say let's pause this for 30 days or 60 days, let's get in front of a judge, make sure everything is according to our protocol. instead, i used to live in anchorage. he just boarded a plane, flew back and did exactly what he was saying was in his head. that's a problem. >> they talked about look again, they had the gun for a month because when he went to the hospital, they took the gun from him and then went through all the steps to give him the gun back. but something like this, and of course people can -- people in your view who have post traumatic stress, that can happen. then you start peeling back the layers, 2010, 2011, he served in iraq, his family said he had exhibited signs of post traumatic

isis claimed responsibility. we'll go live to istanbul for a report. >>> winter weather has made travel back home for some have made it difficult. >>> let's start with nbc's kristen welker live outside trump tower in manhattan. >> reporter: that last part still remains a question, ali, but the bottom line is, he continues to

isis still holds western parts of the city. we spoke with lieutenant general abdulwahab al saadi who told us he's counting on more support from president donald trump. what do you need most? >> translator: we need air strikes, the general said, we need more equipment, including drones. that might be a tough sale with the new president, given that the united states has launched countless air strikes in the assault on mosul and spent millions retraining and arming iraqi forces. but the general told us the iraqi army still needs more help. for those in mosul, exhausted by the fighting, that's the last answer they want to see here. as a sign of how difficult these battles are, we aren't allowed anywhere near the chemistry lab. we're told that isis left the building booby trapped. the specific isil facility that slows down on jerusalem. and meteorologists better predict when severe "cbs mornin for this tuesday. thanks for watching. i'm anne-marie green. have a great day. ,, i'm michelle griego. and i'm kenny choi. time is 4-- >>> go

do the paradigms of iran and isis mutually benefit from each other? what is the future of the iraqi state? guest: will, i think, joyce, you have written about this as well, ron's role in the region and we are probably on the same page, but it's clear when i did go in the first chapter of the book, it's clear they have objectives and one is they want to distinguish themselves from persian shia, so they feel what is happened as iran has become more powerful and arab world is that people equate persian shia zen with arab shiism and that's important for the distinction and i think the other thing important to them is that they feel that the iraqi government has been co-opted by the iranians and they don't know what to do about it. host: are they correct? guest: it seems as though, i mean, co-opted is it too strong a word, but clearly if you have revolutionary guards in the country and all sorts of forces, iran president nor terribly, they have a religious influence in the country, which began not from arab uprising, but the us invasion. event, of course i

"if america bans muslims, it's not the right thing to do," he told us. "america is a multiethnic and religious nation, a country of freedom." e e general told us the next and final phase against isis in western mosul may be the toughest, scott. it's the old part of the city. the streets are too narrow for military vehicles, and there are still 750,000 civilians trapped there. >> pelley: charlie d'agata covering the war on isis. charlie, thank you. well, wall street reached a milestone today. the dow gained 155 points and closed above 20,000 for the first time. since election day, the dow is up more than 1,700 points
