4:03 pm
republicans. there harry reid and nancy pelosi. they made no comments while the cameras were there. it was they were there to respond closely to president's response to iraq. they're blaming the president's policies for creating the opening for isil insurgents who have taken so much land in iraq. >> and randall, secretary hagel, defense secretary hagel and general martin dempsey were on capitol hill for a budget hearing, but it seems they didn't get asked much about finances. what happened? >> reporter: well of course a lot of questions most of the questions were about the crisis in iraq, and what the president was going to do about it. general dempsey did announce there has been a former request from iraqi prime minister nouri al-maliki for a military strike by air and air support from u.s. forces. no decisions have been made on that yet. that will be made by the president when and if it's made. dempsey did reveal that at the
4:04 pm
hearing. the hearing became heated when some accused the president for losing iraq when the president withdrew troops three years ago. >> it's not that the united states lost anything. we have done everything we could to help them, but it's up to the iraqis. they wanted to manage and governor their own, so i don't think we should assign the blame to the united states for this. >> both secretary of defense hagel and the chairman of the joint chiefs general dempsey blamed nouri al-maliki for much
4:05 pm
of the responsibility because did he not create an inclusive government that would stave off this crisis. >> randall. thank you. security has been tightened in baghdad as fighters from the islamic state in iraq and the levant inch closer to the iraqi capital. we're joined with the details. nouri al-maliki spoke out about isil's advance. what did he have to say? >> well, quickly an address to the nation. he said that iraqi defeated the toppling of the government. he said that iraqi leaders and the people of this nation stood united confronting what he called terrorism. now the prime minister said that his forces were taking the initiative and turning the ties against the isil fighters. now prime minister maliki did not give any concrete details as
4:06 pm
to how he plans to reach out to his political opponents because he says they've met last night and they are trying to bridge the differences. but no concrete steps or outlines for his plans. >> so how does the iraqi government plan to defend the capitol of baghdad? does it have enough military assets to achieve that goal? >> in terms of numbers, yes, they do. they have increased security in the capitol. they have increased check points on the streets. every checkpoint had increased that's why the iraqi people are now blaming. now around the capitol this is where the larger number of the forces, this is called the belt of baghdad area because there is fighting in the west and north and south so that's why the government plans to boost the
4:07 pm
presence of the iraqi military forces to prevent any advancements from the rebels. >> omar one more for you. isil fighters attacked the country's largest oil refinery. how significant is this attack? >> it is very significant. it is the biggest refinery in the country. however, we're getting conflicting reports. according to an employee at the refinery, he said the installation is under the control of isil fighters. however, the government says they've managed to repel the attackers killing between 40 up to 60 members of the islamic state in iraq and levan. in short, i think it's another blow to the government. >> in baghdad, omar, good to see you. thank you. britain's prime minister warn that fighters from the isil plan
4:08 pm
to attack from his country. they took over areas from the iraqi army which the u.s. had helped to build. had british authorities made arrests of nationals who fought in syria? >> indeed, they have. we understand from reports today that they have made some arrests it's been said in the past 18 months. 65 people were arrested in the u.k. for activities in syria and 14 british nationals had passports taken away to prevent them from traveling to syria, and it's unknown how many u.k. nationals fought in iraq. you can add that number to the 400. the broader question is it's still very murky to understand why the iraqi army did not choose to stand and fight the militants last week. >> just three short years ago they were 200,000 strong. a new iraqi army which cost
4:09 pm
america $25 billion to equip and train. suddenly they appeared to crumble last week when isil forces rapidly ceased several iraqi towns and cities. estimates on the number of their fighters vary wildly. >> a few hundred men in a lot of pickup trucks. i think the iraqi government forces ought to be able to defend it. >> but they didn't defend the against the rebellion. and iraqi divisions appeared to evaporate. second division, mosul. twelfth in kikuk, and the divisions on turkey and syria disappeared. in all 60,000 soldiers laid down their weapons and vanished. nouri al-maliki and others say there is more to it. he called it international
4:10 pm
conspiracy he has fired four top commanders. those who escaped the isil may have been bribed. many others who may have been sunni felt discriminated against by the government and changed loyalties. >> much of iraqi's misfortune can be laid at a al maliki's door. saddam's for former deputy is now wanted by america who last year posted videos vowing to destroy what he termed the persian government of al maliki. it may only fuel what is rapidly becoming a sectarian war.
4:11 pm
>> al maliki tried to say there was no sectarian war or conflict between sunnies and shias although the evidence contradicts that. >> prime minister nouri al-maliki has called the conflict, the conspiracy, what is he talking about when he calls it that? >> it's not the first time he has talked conspiracy but he has spoke a number of times. al maliki had a leveraged bitter allegations saying the saudis are responsible for crimes that equate to genocide, destruction of iraqi institutions and holy sites. he believes the saudis have been funding the isil and motivating them not only to carry on the attacks in syria but also inside iraq. he has used very strong language about it. >> in london, dana, good to see

4:13 pm
cease-fire. he would like the entire border to be in ukrainian control and said that he would like the positions of separatists in terms of their willingness to negotiate some sort of peace or resolution, he would like their positions on that to be defined. meanwhile on tuesday a very damning report from the u.n. on the situation in the east documenting increasing evidence of abductions, detentions, torture and killings. there has been an escalation of the crisis in the sense that it is no longer just public figures, civil servants targeted and increasingly civilians are in the sense when separatists took over the administration building they gained access to list activists to a pro ukrainian and those activists were being harassed or intimidated. >> mary barra was facing tough questions in the delay. the house committee hearing was the first since.
4:14 pm
g.m. released the results of its internal investigation. lisa, what did the lawmakers have to say about gm's internal report on the delayed recall? >> reporter: some of the lawmakers were skeptical. skeptical about some of the findings in the report. there was no cover up on g.m.'s part and the top echelon of the company was unaware of these safety issues with the ignition switches. but this report also found there was culture in general motors that prized secrecy, and did not prize employees who would come forward with any safety issues. now lawmakers really quizzed the ceo mary barra. they really pushed her whether she could really change the culture at gm motors that in this case moved devastatingly slow. >> why the foot dragging?
4:15 pm
how do you intend to change this? >> well, we already have with the way we're working through recalls today. we changed that process. it's been expedited and the senior levels of the company are involved in it. we don't like to do recalls, but we're doing what is right for our customers. >> they called recalls at a furious pace. they've had 44 recalls involving more than 20 million vehicles. mary barra saying today she hopes those recalls been finished, that they won't have to do any more recalls after this month. >> lisa, the issue is blamed for 13 deaths. what did the families of the victims have to say about gm's response? >> well families were very emotional today. they held a news conference. they sat in and listened to the hearing. they feel that they still do not have a full picture of what went on and why it took so long to issue this recall. they also think that the company should be held criminally

accidently hit it with their knee. sound familiar? and there has been a recall of thousands of dodge vehicles. the u.s. pat tent and trademark office moved today to cancel six patents registered by the washington red skins tame. because the team name is derogatory to native americans. >> reporter: yes, good afternoon. this is a story that will simply not lie down. every come of months it comes back, and i think it will come on that way probably until there is a name change. we shall see. we've had a number of very high profile people saying you got to change the name. very high profile like the president of the united states. senior members of the senate. now what is happening a government agency is saying pretty much the same thing. this name is inappropriate to have as a trademark.
4:18 pm
>> reporter: stripping the uaw redskins of their patent recognition. now others may use redskins brand. the team is not too worried. the patent and trademark office has done this almost a dozen times in the last two decades. the redskins got their trademarks back on appeal and they plan an appeal this time, too. the case is no different from an earlier case where the board canceled the redskins registrations and where a federal district court disagreed and reversed the board. nonetheless, the pressure on the team's owner dan snyder to change the red skin name. president obama said if he was a team owner he would think about changing it. harry reid is boycotting games
4:19 pm
and said the writing is on the wall, and the nfl can no longer ignore this and perpetuate the use of this name as anything but what it is. a racial slur. >> so what is going to happen next? well, the answer is probably not quite a lot. as i said at the top this is just really a government agency making the point that they don't think that the name redskins is appropriate to have as a trademark. now what's going to happen as i said in the report, tony, the red kins will go ahead and appeal this as they did with the case that was resolved today. it was launched eight years ago. the whole thing is likely to be mired in federal direc district court for the next several years. at the moment nothing happens, and even when it is resolved if they were to have the trademark stripped away not a great deal would happen to running the
4:20 pm
business. what it would really mean that other people, you and i, could start manufacturing red skin t-shirts and mugs. they would lose control of the name. >> it's building, building. but there is the other side of the story is that they're clearly is--there are native american organizations and tribes that have been offended by this, and speaking loudly on this, and yet there is a loyal fan base and i don't feel a grand swell around the country that feels it needs to jump on board and rally against what the redskins and the owner is doing here in saying about the team name. >> reporter: the fan base is largely african-americans, it's split along geographical lines in washington, d.c. outside the city itself people evening among the african-american supporters are less happy about the name. but the hardcore fans in the inner city are comfortable with it and sing hail to the red

4:32 pm
coordinator at the german marshal fund of the united states. good to talk to you. do you believe--a couple of "do you believe" questions. do you believe president karzai and a group of his advisers have organize questions traite orchestrated a fraud there are a lot of premature speculations an dull la is in the initial boarding counts. ries advisers have supported candidates in the past, and it's
4:33 pm
premature to sub constantate the legitimacy of those claims i think its best to let the commission finish the counting and see if there was fraud or not and to what extent. >> would you be surprised if there was widespread fraud. you were there as a monitor in 2004. how fraud-free was that election? and again, would you be surprised if there was widespread fraud in this run off? >> no, i would not be surprised. the 2004 elections were very different than the 2009 and 2014 election. the 2014 election is the first election in afghanistan's transition to peace. the voter turnout is very load. people had no idea what they were doing.
4:34 pm
there was increasing involvement. they took leadership. they took to polls in large large numbers. there is a possibility of fraud, but it's still premature to speculate. >> do you believe that if abdullah abdullah fails to accept a run-off loss, that's a big if, that that might provide enough of a crisis for hamid karzai to extend his term as president? >> there are no provisions for that.
4:35 pm
i think it would be a major setback nor the afghan democracy and for the voters who came out to vote. i think that's also going to tarnish, cause his own legacy and ultimately the overall legitimacy of the afghan government. i don't think karzai will do that. i think he's smart enough not to do that. but again, it's still premature to speculate. >> what kind of president, trend lines being what they are right now, what kind of president could the west expect from he

4:37 pm
functions under the skeleton of democratic-- >> there is something else that matters here. dotedo either of these men have a chance of helping the west, the united states, negotiate a deal with the taliban that curtails or even stops the violence? >> well, i would argue that abdullah abdullah has harnessed anti-taliban views, and still does. in my mind it would be hard for abdullah abdullah to sit across from the table from the very people he has been fighting with. >> i appreciate your time. appreciate your time.
