impressive. now it was time for defense chiefs to coordinate a robust response after n.a.t.o. members said russian fighter jets violated air space. >> i call on russia to play a constru constructive role in the fight against i.s.i.l. russian access and support to the regime are not helpful. the recent violations of turkish air space are unacceptable. n.a.t.o. will continue to follow the developments closely, and we stand in strong solidarity with turkey. >> reporter: russia launched an increasing number of aerial attacks on positions in syria, along with cruise missiles to warships stationed in the caspian sea. n.a.t.o. fears russia is not just interested in destroying i.s.i.l. and al qaeda, but all aind bashar al-assad groups,

including rebels backed by the u.s. n.a.t.o. responded to the challenge by rushing through plans for a new rapid task force, deploying thousands of troops and machinery at short notice. there'll be bases protecting alliance members from spillover from the war in syria. >> i think russia is probably asserting its presence in a strategic and public way. we are here. we are going to be here, and there's going to be more of us here. >> reporter: syria's theatre of war is becoming crowded. russia and u.s. alliance shares the same airspace, but backs different sides of the conflict. incursions into the air space are accidental. n.a.t.o. fears moscow is testing the defenses. a political solution to the crisis is needed more than ever

them to weaken the capabilities of enemies. on the ground the opposition is fighting back. some groups, like this u.s. backed force is using american-made antitank missiles to hold off any advance. another rebel brigade showed its fighters returning from the battle ground with a tank captured from the syrian army. >> we have reached an agreement with all the groups to set up joint positions, and all are ready to follow our orders. >> different opposition groups operate in the hama countryside. they may share the goal of toppling the government, but not the same ideology. for now they put the differences aside in what they call a battle against occupation. the fighting forced syrians from their homes, tens of thousands are living across the north. the hamas countryside is important territory, laying

between three provinces, it is the entry point, the government's main strong hold in the west. before the russian intervention, the opposition was advancing to that area. >> russian military intervention strengthened the syrian government's position, politically and militarily. the coordinated ground offensive will be the first test of whether it can reverse recent losses or lead to political intervention more on russia's denial that cruise missiles aimed at syria landed in iran, and the kremlin was reported that supporting the syrian regime will cost lives on the bottle field. >> in the wake of the cruise missile strikes from russia earlier in the week. president obama is facing criticism that he is not doing enough to defend the opposition

on the ground. the target of the strikes and president obama, critics say, is not doing enough to stand up to vladimir putin meeting with n.a.t.o. allies in brussels, secretary of defense ash carter predicted dire consequences for russia. >> in the coming days they'll have casualties. >> he lifted their moves, coming within miles of u.s. drones. and cruise missiles launched without warning. thursday, reports emerged that four badly miss the their mark, crashing in iran, near the border with turkey. russia received permission to fly over the territory on the way to targets in syria. russia denies the reports, saying all missiles reached their targets.

supported by the united states and our coalition partners, and the extreme its in i.s.i.l. >> the barrage against the opposition forces continued on thursday, giving the bashar al-assad forces room to continue the offensive. >> mike viqueira in washington. joining us now from d.c. is former u.s. ambassador william taylor, the vice president for the middle eastern africa at the united states institute. good to have you with us. how big of a powder keg is this. you have the incursions and saudis and other nations say they'll increase their support of anti-bashar al-assad groups. could the assets turn it into a biggest regional conflict? >> it could. that is what happens when the russians intervene, they drop opposition.

it comes from opposition that bashar al-assad faces. russians are trying to support bashar al-assad. and all the enemies are rallying behind the opposition to bashar al-assad. >> because of that support, a gulf nation official says russia has created a frankenstein, inspiring more fighters to head to syria. that's what happened when the russians invaded afghanistan. that led to the soviet invasion, it lead to the demise of the soviet union. this could be the same kind of thing when sending military into syria, they draw a lot of opposition and fighting. >> the missiles landing in iran, is the risk growing. planes colliding, missile

landing, that would pressure n.a.t.o. to confront russia. >> accidents happen, weapons malfunction, we saw this in ukraine, when the russian backed separatists struck down an airliner. many europeans. this can happen in syria or as we have seen in the countries between the caspian, and the parent targets in syria. >> do you think this will prolong the war. russia says it's attacking i.s.i.l. and now is launching a coordinated ground and air offensive against non-i.s.i.l. opponents. >> it is clearly going to extend the war. this is for the people that would like to see the end of it. bombing, killing, barrel

bombing, forcing them to leave, to become refugees headed for europe and other places. this intrusion by the russians extends that suffering. >> there's an argument that the global response is weak and took too long, is russia stepping up. >> it's stepping up, but in the wrong direction. if the intent is to stop it happening. and to stop the civil war, they prolong if for the reasons, that is, he is drawing opposition from all over the world to bashar al-assad. did russia stop everyone, including n.a.t.o. by surprise, as in ukraine when they entered syria, is there an example of the west underestimating the

kremlin. >> i think people assume that the head - the decision-making powers in large nations, large responsible nations act rationally. >> yes, we did not expect mr vladimir putin to invade ukraine or annex part of crimea. we did not expect him to extend the war in syria as he is now doing. we are surprised he's acting irrationally. maybe he has the rational. >> thank you, good to have you with us. the number of u.s. home-grown terror threats grew dramatically in the last 18 months, according to homeland securityie, the federal bureau of investigation and the international terrorism center. they testified saying the social media campaigns of groups, including i.s.i.l. found a receptive audience in the u.s.

>> we are in the midst of a wave of terror. we are facing attacks by fire bombs and live ammunition. these are unorganized. but they are the result of incitement by hamas and others in the region, and the islamic movement in israel. they spread lies. they spread lies about our policy in the temple mount. these are lies. we do not want to change the status quo in the temple mount. the palestinian president had this reaction to the latest stabbing. >> we don't attack anyone, we want them to stop attacking us. we want them to stop entering al-aqsa. we support those protecting the mosque. we tell the israeli government to stay away from our holy places, the islamic and christian places. we want peace, and extend the

hand of peace regardless of what is happening to us. >> demonstrations in occupied east jerusalem are happening. lifting of sanctions is doing little to ease tensions. there is widespread palestinian perception that israel is intent on taking control of the al-aqsa compound. >> there's a lot of anger about what israel is doing, and it is for muslims, it's a mosque. it should be respected as a mosque. >> and contributing to what is a general mood of anger and frustration, demonstrators on the israeli, many gathering outside the prime minister's home to demand he takes stronger action. and some threatening to start taking action themselves. in the west bank young men and women are joining the young men and women. hoda abdel-hamid reports from

even though she said it's not ti time. >> >> translation: our generation has more energy than the older ones. they were tired and disillusioned. we have to believe what was taken by force can only be cured by force. we will get nothing out of it, just another catastrophe. >> many of the protesters were born after the accords were signed in 1994. recently president mahmoud abbas warned he could be cured by an agreement. >> the death toll from a stampede during the hajj could be more that 1300. figures say 1364 pilgrims were killed. 630 more than the official toll. the findings were based on reports submitted by more than a

in august. he was treated for a las rated thumb and other injuries in that attack last year hundreds were reported of being abducted by a parent and taken out of the country. in the u.s. it's a crime. it's not true around the world. tonight we look at the fight to change australia laws. we travel with one father from australia to indonesia, searching for his daughter. >> in jakarta, indonesia, an australian father is dreaming of the moment he gets his daughter back. >> it's been five years since i last saw her face. i felt every day. you know, i counted every day. >> the 6-year-old was taken by his ex-wife to indonesia five years ago. since then he had no contact. >> you will leave the vehicle, and we'll start the recovery. >> kendall hired col chapman, a

child recovery expert. he will help on his mission. >> we only need a short head start. six seconds for you guys to block them and we are up the end here. australia has the highest rate of international parental abduction in the world. every year more than 300 are stolen by parents and taken overseas. >> if a jumbo jet carried 300 children that disappeared. there would be an outcry. public would demand for things to be done. they mostly disappear beneath the radar. >> there are calls for the australian government to change the law and make abductions illegal. in a statement government officials say they are doing more to help families, but as to whether to make international parental child abduction a

crime, they are mum on the matter. >> many countries signed the hague convention, finding help to find and return a child to home. indonesia is not one of them. it costs tens of thousands and is controversial. it risks traumatising a child. >> do you feel it's right for you to take care of that. >> i don't know any parent that wouldn't want to give their child access to the best opportunities in life. this is what i want to do for my daughter. >> hiring a recovery expert is no guarantee of success. security is tight at a school that kendall's daughter attends. >> we'll be surrounded by them. physically they'll be on top of us. i can't guarantee you that the recovery will go ahead. i can't guarantee you. we can have a go. i can't guarantee the result. >> i can't go back to australia without seeing her, after all these years. >> reporter: kendall says until

governments tighten laws, on international parental abduction, parents and children will continue to be torn apart we are joined by mark classwho started the class kid goings after the kidnapping and murder of his daughter polly. it's great to have you with us to talk about this topic. the reality is many more kids are abducted by a personality than strangers. >> i've lost... >> can you hear me now? do you hear me now mark. >> yes, i have you. that's absolutely correct. about 50% of all abductions in the united states are parental abductions, about 24% are stranger abductions. >> i was shocked to hear about australia, and the high rate, some 300 kids are abducted by a parent and taken abroad. that may be the highest per

capita rate. the u.s. has more cases and numbers. i saw a report in 2009. it was more than 1600 kids taken abroad. it's a serious problem in the united states. >> it is a serious problem. the hague convention is not really - doesn't work well, because it can never supercede the laws of a sovereign state. a child is taken into a lot of country, and the child becomes a citizen or a resident of that country and falls under the law us of that country, it will be problematic coming back and forth across international borders. >> and there are hague conventions, but in asia and africa are not parties to those conventions. what can parents go in the united states if it happens to them, the fbi, and the state department. >> that's a good question. >> there are several things you

can do. if you feel you'll be a victim of parental abduction, you want to find out everything you can. all the credit card information, vehicle information, who the friends and family is, so that you'll have a head start once that occurs. if you are concerned about an international abduction, it's more problematic. yes, you want to contact the fbi, yes, you want to contact the united states. you want to get the office of children's issues, and get on a passport alert, find out if a passport has been issued, and number two, to be notified if someone plies for a passport. >> hundreds of cases were resolved favourably last year. how successful were attempts to get kids back from other countries. >> they are difficult. we see this all the time. we saw it with the goldman case. ellie and gonzalez.

20 years ago, it could become difficult. you are dealing with international laws. probably in the united states, a very good thing to do if you are concerned about that is get a custody order from the court that clearly defines parental rights and visitations. what was your reactions in australia that we showed of parents drying to reabduct a child, bringing them back to australia. like we said in the report, it could injure the child. you are talking about a child that is going to be abducted once, and now you have a stranger going in, affecting an abduction to bring the child back. i do not endorse like that. i think a wiser tact would be - this works well will be the start of a social media campaign

to find out where the child is. i have a friend whose child was kidnapped in indonesia, he had no idea where the child was, started a facebook campaign, located the child and is able to observe the child, she that she's growing up, being cared for, and within a few short years he'll attain an age where she can make her own choices. >> let's hope it gets attention, it is a growing problem. mark classof class kids. good to have you with us. >> in the aftermath of a nuclear disaster, cancer rates are soaring living near the fukushima plant near japan. >> i'm daniel lack on the atlantic coast. local communities in the government - some essential lighthouses in the age of communication systems.

and cannot be dismantled. preservation is worried. the country is losing touch with its past. >> we don't have the castles that europe has, we do have lighthouses. they are emblematic of who we are. >> my dad mosts us out. i was nine months old. >> once lighthouse keepers lived with their families outside nova scotia's largest port, halifax. >> kelly grew up there, and served as keeper in the final months before the light was automated in 1988. >> i considered, you know, being a lightkeeper a privilege. it suited me. if they hadn't of closed it down, i would have pursued it as a career. i would have been content to raise my family out there. >> even today in the age of electronic communications and global positioning systems, not all lighthouses are heritage buildings.
