be unified against them. >> appreciate it. thank you for your time. >> thank you. take care. >> tony harris, thank you for watching. john seigenthaler is back with the news now we begin with the death of the suspected mastermind behind the attacks. authorities confirm abdelhamid abbaaoud was killed in a raid yesterday. the country says the threat exists, leading to more emergency powers given to the sit. dana lewis leads the coverage and continues from paris. >> hi, no doubt a major achievement for french intelligence to eliminate the mastermind of the attacks in paris. all sorts of questions asked about how did abdelhamid abbaaoud slip from syria, where he was fighting with the islamic state, back through europe, france and here to the heart of paris, and no one knew anything about it.

>> reporter: what french authorities called a terrorist command safe house, police forensic experts hit pay dirt. in this northern paris suburb, the interior of the apartment where a 7-hour siege played out with explosions and gunfire yesterday, the day revealed evidence abdelhamid abbaaoud had been neutralized. using skin samples investigators determined the mastermind of the bloody paris attacks, and his female cousin this doetonated the suicide vest were dead. eight more were arrested. a surprise, who up until a few days ago it was thought he was in syria. >> translation: among the six attacks avoided or foiled by services since spring 2016. abdelhamid abbaaoud was implicated in four. overnight police set up controlled explosives in the apartment. parts of building were

collapsing as they tried to collect evidence. french intelligence can boast they have eliminated a key i.s.i.s. figure and likely averted an attack in paris. >> raids across france and belgium continue. in the search for suspects connected to an attack that claimed 129 lives and rattled europe. there are nagging security concerns. where is the bomb-maker who made at least eight identical explosive vests and with is salah abdeslam, involved in the paris attacks, and disregard after his brother blew himself up. the government had little opposition to extend a state of emergency. a free hand to the police for putting anyone at risk under house arrest. with the p.m. warning of the unthinkable. >> we must not rule anything out. we mentioned yesterday, and we

say we know and have in mind the risk from chemical and biological weapons. >> it's difficult to have this. >> silvia, who lives and works down the road says that she's moving out of paris. >> i'm going to leave. >> reporter: tonight the mayor told a crowd outside the stadium, where the first attack occurred. >> translation: we have learnt the leader of this barbaric attack is definitely dead, and we should all rejoice. [ singing ] >> reporter: but it's a difficult challenge. to restore confidence here, amidst growing fear. >> it's now been reported that four of these attackers in paris were on a u.s. counterintelligence watch list. at least one of them was on a

no-fly list. abdelhamid abbaaoud, himself, they say are slipping back into europe as a refugee, that he came from syria, europe and greece and no one told the french about the i tacks, and there were 5,000 jihadis going through europe, and only about 2,000 of them are on any kind of list that different european countries would examine. this is transforming a debate at the european union meeting, taking place between countries, how did they seal up the borders, guaranteeing security in europe from people that want to come back from syria, iraq or carry out violence as they have done so in paris. >> how do they screen people that want to seek asylum in europe? >> right now critics say they don't.

they don't seem to screen. abdelhamid abbaaoud came back, no one knew was here, and he's on a terrorist watch list. what they are talking about is everything including electronic measures, whether it's facial recognition, fingerprinting, sharing a photograph, and they don't share passenger lists between countries on airlines in europe. it is back 15 years from where the united states is. it's a major debate about how they move forward, and the interior minister is saying europe wake up. we have to change how we are doing this now. >> dana lewis in france. thank you. >> more on the intelligence and the tough questions that the french government is facing. sheila macvicar reports from paris. >> reporter: from the time the first suicide bombs detonated at stade de france in the northern edge of the city, to the attacks on cafes and restaurants, and the bloody siege at the bataclan

musical, the central question in paris, in france and throughout europe has been how did this happen again how did abdelhamid abbaaoud manage to get into syria, out of syria at least once? it's really a collective failure to europe today. we can not give systematic controls on our own citizens, and the problem today is that the security paradi changed. we were fearing an external threat. today it is internal. coming from our own citizens. >> when we met in january, we talked about a large number of people understand surveillance, and the number at that time was about 7,000 with some smaller number, perhaps 3,000 repeating a serious threat. has there been any change, any increase in capacity since

charlie hebdo, since jan, to actively watch the people that pose the greatest risk to the country? >> the problem is it takes 8-10 months to train someone to become an intelligence officer, agent. to be able for him to go on the ground. with the resources coming, but very slowly. at the meantime we have seen the threat growing. the number of jihadists going there has increased as never before, and the numbers are, today, around 10-11,000. the support networks are very important in europe. and the willingness, for sure, of the authorities in europe has never been so high. >> and that means more threats. tonight, france is under a state of emergency, and cities in

italy and sweden are on high alert and you can watch more of sheila's coverage from paris on "america tonight", coming up at 9:30 eastern tonight. in this country the backlash against refugees reached a new level. the u.s. house of representatives voted overwhelmingly to set up obstacles for syrians seeking asylum in this country. libby casey is in washington with that. libby. >> congress is not known for moving fast. in a matter of days, house republicans proposed and passed a bill to block the refugees coming to the united states. it has a few hurdles to get through, but gives a sense of the mood in washington and the concerns of law-maker. >> debate on capitol hill, over putting the syrian refugee programme on hold. >> if we stop the programme, we give i.s.i.s. a weapon. >> if we lock the doors not

because we hate the people on the outside. we lock our doors because we love the people on the inside. >> republicans winning passage of the bill with a quarter of democrats on board. >> the nays are 137. the lil is passed -- bill is passed. >> it would halt the programme to bring 10,000 syrian refugees to the united states over the next year. the white house promises a veto and says the process is already thorough. waiting for 18-24 months, going through an exhaustive process of screening and interviews, and vetting by intelligence community is not at all the lately scenario by which i.s.i.l. would aim to carry out attacks. >> reporter: the speaker paul ryan says it's not about lengthening the vetting process. >> i don't think it's time that's the issue, it's quality and the issue, as briefers tell us, is this is different because we don't have someone to talk to, or the dead to verify the

voracity of a refugee's claims coming here the bill calls for the programme to stop until the heads of the fbi, homeland security and national intelligence an certify to congress that each refugee is not a threat. the inspector general for the department of homeland security would review certifications. >> on principle the bill offered by speaker ryan seems to be compelling. why shouldn't there be more scrutiny. on a practical manner, does it balance compassion and security. >> immigration attorney peter asard says the bill does not. >> it delays the process and puts people in harm's way without offering additional layers of security. >> the refugee process has more layers of security than any other programme allowing people into the united states. the republican bill offers no

details as to how federal authorities cou authoriti authorities could improve the process. >> it will slow down the process and it's a practical matter. what we see is a refugee being stuck in the process because of signatures. >> many democrats want different changes, like tightening the visa waiver programme, allowing some to visit without a visa, and want to pan people on terrorist watch lifts, which the n.r.a. options, and republicans did not include this their bill john, the attorney-general loretta lynch weighed in on the bill calling it impractical what are the chances that this law, this bill will become

law. >> it goes to the senate next, and they hope to block the bill and there has been deflections, and passage is possible. president obama said he will veto. so the real question is can the house and senate get two third majority. that's what is needed to override the veto. and at the house, they achieve the number. >> libby, thank you very much republican tom kain served two terms as governor of new jersey, and co-chaired the 9/11 economics, and is with the bipartisan policy center homeland security project and he is in the studio. give me your reaction. the house passed the bill, trying to keep syrians and iraqi refugees out of the country. >> what do you think? >> it's the wrong direction, i think. these refugees are the biggest

embarrassment. instead of fleeing towards them. they are fleeing away from them. >> there a lot of women and children that need help. threatening the statue of liberty. we should help the people. >> we have 30 governors who agree, and clearly there are posts suggesting that american people don't want refugees from the countries, particularly muslim refugees. >> well, you know, american people ought to think about it a while. because this is our values, who we are. we have always accepted immigrants because we are all immigrants in the country, and they make a tremendous contribution, and to say we should deny someone based on religion, we are fighting a group who is a tiny bunch, radicals out of a population of 1.7 billion. we ought to screen out the

radicals. it's two years, someone can get from there to here. and that screening, we ought to do that well enough, and convince our people that we are doing it well enough to not deny needy people the right to come to the country the way others come. >> in an interview donald trump suggested that he won't rule out warrantless searches or identification badges for muslims in the county. your reaction to that. >> last time i heard about that was nazi germany, we don't do that in this country. the way we catch the guys in the united states. if they come around the mosques, there are wonderful americans, who happen to be muslims, who

over here talks, call the fbi and ut police and we interrupt the plots. they are our best allies, we encourage more of that, not less. >> the governor in new jersey says obama created the refugee crisis, what do you say. >> chris christie and i knew each other and let's say this is a crisis that had a long time coming. >> is there anyone here responsible. >> the iraq war was one of the things creating the problem, and we decided to get saddam hussein, and you can argue if it was good or bad. we can take some responsibility. it's not a question of responsibility, more of finding a solution. >> we'll have more coming up in

the next half hour. first, a chilling warning about i.s.i.l.'s determination to develop chemical weapons. the associated press says i.s.i.l. is conducting reference with the help of iraq and syria. u.s. intelligence officials say they do not think i.s.i.l. has the capacity to develop sophisticated weapons. france says it has destroyed 3 does targets. since stepping up air strikes. critics to the u.s.-led opposition say air tricks are not enough. the fight will be won not in the air, but on the ground. jamie mcintyre has more from the pentagon. >> with russia and france stepping up an aerial bombard: the war is shifting into higher gear. they accomplished little. the latest u.s. military

assessment obtained by al jazeera presents a mixed picture at best. >> reporter: the latest air strike videos shows france and russia hitting more targets in i.s.i.l.-held territory, here, i.s.i.l. takes the play. pentagon sources say without the drops, the u.s. is warning civilians away. as any student nose, air-power has its limits. it cannot take, hold or govern territory. >> to be successful air strikes will center to be combined with ground forces. >> reporter: al jazeera obtained the latest map, assessing ou of the ground game is going, u.s. central command says i.s.i.l. lost 127,000 miles or 40% of the territory held in iraq, up from

37%. >> the retaking of sinjar by kurdish fighters was a reason i.s.i.l. lost ground. in syria, it's a different story. i.s.i.l. lost as much as 1500 square miles, or 10% of the area occupied at the peak. the latest revised number is 770 loss of square miles. or five%. and the assessment notes of i.s.i.l. holds. the strategic cities of ramadi in iraq, and palmyra in syria. >> u.s. says its strikes have been calibrated. enabling troops to support against dough-in fighters. >> as indigenous friendly forces nufr against the enemy, it causes them to move.

they have to react. as soon as they react. we kill palmyra. >> reporter: the pentagon points to north-eastern syria where an offensive against syrian democratic forces drove i.s.i.l. out of 274 miles. the offensive was supported with 79 air strikes, which it says helped to kill 300. the idea of dispatching pore u.s. special operations forces closer to the front loins, to provide advice. president obama ordered up to 50 commando. so far, they are yet to arrive coming up, home front - growing fears. >> we will not let our actions be overtaken by fear. we will not allow merchants of

violence to rub us of precious ideals. >> increased security and a reality check. also inside belgium, our carl penhall is there reporting on the link to the paris attacks. and the intelligence breakdown. and starting over - helping syrian refugees resettle in america - beyond the debate we introduce you to people determined to help. to help.

police in italy and sweden are hunting. italy's foreign minister says u.s. authorities alerted them of the threat to st. peters basilica in rome and sites in milan, swedish police increased police protection. attacks in paris were said to be the start, showing a man in a suicide vest along with images of manhattan, police increased security in new york. the federal bureau of investigation says they know of no credible plans of attack against america. >> we are not aware of any credible threat here of a paris-type attack, and have seen no connection at all between the paris attackers and the united states. >> comey says federal, state and local law officials work together to follow any leads. before paris the presidential

campaign was focused on domestic issues. the campaign is talking about fighting i.s.i.l. republicans wasted no time saying president obama is not doing enough. hillary clinton made her case in a major speech. paul beban has that. >> since september 2014, u.s. war planes have been pounding i.s.i.l. from the air. last month the u.s. ordered more special forces troops to back up rebel groups battling i.s.i.l. on the ground. in the wake of the carnage in paris, presidential candidate hillary clinton said in new york that the u.s. needs to do more. >> it's time to begin a new phase. to smash the cal fate and control i.s.i.s. and control of territory. >> clinton said she'd put a no-fly zone in place, step up air strikes and send in more

troops. like her former boss, president obama does not favour deploying thousands of ground troops that the u.s. did in iraq and afghanistan. >> to be successful air strikes will have to be combined with ground forces taking back territory, like president obama, i do not believe we should, again, have 100,000 american troops in combat in the middle east. >> the woman that was once a top diplomat is distancing herself and her strategy from president obamas. >> while this administration says it intends to defeat i.s.i.l., ms clinton emphasis and makes is clear that she would take steps to defeat i.s.i.l. and took on key u.s. allies in thursday's speech, saying turkey needs to cut off supply lines and stop bombing the kurds that have been the most successful fighting force against i.s.i.l., and turned her fire on the

persian golf statements, saying they are not doing enough. clinton also waded into the fight over what to do about syrian refugees, calling republican proposals un-american. >> turning away orphans, discriminating against muslims, slamming the door on every syrian refugee - that is not who we are. >> reporter: all in all analysts say clinton gave a strong political performance. >> politically this was almost spur genius, sending her to the right of the administration, and certainly far, far right of anything bernie sanders is going to say. while it's going to stop short of where the republicans are. that's the sweet spot the american people are looking for. >> a sweet spot in a struggle against an enemy, republican and democrat agrees is unlikely to be over any time soon.

not before election day next november immigration has been a hot topic for the republican presidential candidate. a report suggesting there's more mexicans leaving the u.s. than entering it. the pew research center says from 2009 to 2014, more than a million mexicans and their families left the u.s. more than 65,000 mexicans entered the u.s. those figures were doing unauthorized immigrants. next on the broadcast - refugee resettlement, the challenge, now that dozens of states say syrian refugees are not welcome. plus, i.s.i.l.'s propaganda machine, and why it's affected.

this is it al jazeera america, i'm john seigenthaler - paris attacks. a conversation with the co-chair of the 9/11 commission on how the c.i.a. underestimated i.s.i.l., and how to stop them. >> the strongest asset in the war against these people is our values. >> seeking sanctuary, finding homes for syrian refugees in america. why some lawmakers fight to keep them out. >> call to arms, a look at i.s.i.l. said elaborate and effective propaganda network, and why it's so hard to shut it

down raids continue across for instance and belgium, after confirmation of the death of the mastermind of the paris attacks. forensic teams comb over the evidence left behind at the suppishan paris apartment -- suburban paris apartment where abdelhamid abbaaoud was killed on wednesday. it's one of 600 raids leading to scores of arrests since the attacks last friday. >> belgium is rolling out security measures in the wake of the attacks. several attackers lived in brussel's suburb of molenbeek, include aring one on the -- including one on the run. >> reporter: the master mined behind the paris attacks, abdelhamid abbaaoud, is confirmed dead. the terror threat may be far from over. in an interview with al jazeera, belgium's interior minister welcomed the death of abdelhamid abbaaoud, a belgium citizens. [ siren ]

>> reporter: in addition to the paris assaults, it's believed abdelhamid abbaaoud would planning a string of other operations in europe. >> it's a good signal. this was the guys, was a commander of a network, a network that was - that was into attacks in belgium, france. it's the spider in the works, that is a good point. >> he tempered the comments with a warning that the european union could not be fully secured against future i.s.i.l. plots. >> if the question is could you guaranteed 100% security, no one can, and mr francis hollande and mrs. merkel - we can't. we have put everything in place that we have to to guarantee as much security as we can. >> thursday, belgium's prime minister had new proposals aimed at boosting security.

>> we want to act along four major lines, first to eradicate messages of hate and calls to violence, second to concentrate efforts and means to individuals flagged as dangerous. third, to strengthen security and act on an international level. the top woirty now is counting down fugitive suspect. a french citizens raised in belgium, the only known survive yore of the paris attackers. french and belgium authorities say he magged do flee to -- managed to flee to brussels on saturday. >> we are searching on him. i won't give details on this, because every detail in this is very, very sensitive. >> an alleged ringleader lived in brussels. they were friends since 2010

when they were imprisoned to petty crime. >> other high profile terror plots have been traced to molenbeek, and now the belgium interior minister is pledging to take action. >> i wouldn't say that molenbeek is the crossroads of european terrorism. >> in molenbeek, there was a certain fatalism about the death. he who sows hatred will pay for it. you can't massacre innocent people, that saddens me. everybody hates what he has done. that is not human, what he did. i can't understand how someone can kill innocent people in the hopes of going to paradise she says, and so, with abdelhamid abbaaoud dead, the desperate challenge facing authorities now is figuring out a way to stop other young following in his

floody track. >> now, more of my conversation with former 9/11 commission co-chair tom kain. we talked about a key point of the commission's report. no sanctuary for terrorists around the world. in the wake of the attacks in paris, i asked what happened to that policy. >> that has to be re-established. that was one of the most important points. look, it took three years to plan 9/11. and if they hadn't had the space in afghanistan, and the time to plan, they couldn't have pulled it off. and now for the first time since 9/11, in this so-called state, whatever they are trying to accomplish i.s.i.s., they have a space and a time, and you give them long enough, they'll pull it. by the way, that - what they pulled off in france and paris. it was disturbing. they didn't think they could do

it. they didn't think they were organized to pull the plot. >> what does that say about the c.i.a. intelligence? >> it says that they are not always rite. >> wasn't that part of the problem with 9/11. >> yes. >> prior to 9/11, a lot didn't talk properly. now they are talking to each other, and they have done a lot of good work. we haven't had a serious terror attack. they are doing good work. they are not always right, and don't always anticipate, and they didn't think i.s.i.s. was ready to do this kind of coordinated attack. >> are americans safer. >> they have new solutions, new things this they do to take on i.s.i.s. there weren't problems at the time. we take some of the recommendations which are important. like no sanctuaries, we have to look at the new threat and problems. >> you wrote an op-ed, and you

talk about moving the military action. what do you mean by that? >> first of all, we don't have military action, not to be american troops leading the way. it's what george bush called a coalition of the willing. russia wants to get these guys. iran wants to get these guys. china hates terrorism. india has a problem. we should get a coalition, to 50, 60, 70 different company, and that should be the military, a coalition of a lot of people, with us taking the lead, but not necessary the predominant place. that is one thing, that is not enough. we will never defeat these people on military ground. >> 14 years later there's a threat from terrorists in the world. why? >> well, it's a very long term and complicated answer. one is we never really addressed

is the ideology. and the ideology breeds whether it's poverty in the arab world. there are hundreds of thousands of young men, no jobs. in that kind of an atmosphere of ideology, leading to the next world rather than this one has more appeal. we have not, in our opinion we believe, we have not used the best of our nonmilitary might. we have got all sorts of things to be used politically. we didn't... >> let me stop you there, when you say poverty, this poverty all over the world. in other places where there's poverty, there's not at breathing ground for terrorists. we have posterity combined with audiology. we have to point out we have so much on our side. we have a better way of life.

we have to do that, and when we went after communism, we didn't go after russian communism with military, we used military, we used things like a marshall plan for europe. we used economic power, humane power, we had things like the voice of america, a whole complicated strategy which brought down international communism. we have to have the same kind of strategy, it's important to recognise our strongest asset in this war against these people. it is our values and our history and democratic traditions, and that is what a lot of these people are running towards, rather than away from. >> governor kane, good to see you. thank you for talking to us. the house of representatives voted overwhelmingly to set up strict requirements for syrians seeking asylum in the u.s.

it is directed at a white house plan to bring refugees to the u.s. over the next year. the fate in the senate is uncertain, and the president said he'd veto it. if not just on capitol hill, half of the nation's governors want to block the refugees, the backlash has not stopped those working to find refugees in this country a hold. rochl jan is here with that. >> many are trying to figure out what the governor's decisions means in the future. they are going ahead with plans to welcome more of them. >> more hos am, finding refuge in new jersey brought safety and opportunity. >> when i came to america things started to get better. i have medical insurance, a daily income. my children are going to school. things are looking better.

>> now he's worried that other families fleeing the war in syria will not have the same chance to rebuild their lives. that's because new jersey governor, and republican presidential candidate chris christie, said on a radio show that he would not let them in. >> what if they were orphans under the age of five. >> we can come up with 18 scenarios, i don't think orphans under five should be admitted into the united states at this point. >> reporter: at church world service which resettled this man, caseworkers are going ahead with plans to welcome more people. we have a syrian family of seven. seven syrian refugees expect at the end of this month. are you worried they may have to be rerouted because the government said no more syrian refugees. >> sure, we have not received information from the department of state. it is the administration, the

federal government that administers the programme. and we have not received information from them. until then, it will be business as usual. >> in a letter to president obama, governor christy warns not to participate in the resettlement of syrian refugees, aid organizations get more federal than state funding. a cut in support met a cut in english classes, medical check-ups. church world services looking to people in the community to step in. >> the community offered their support. in terms of financial, political, reaching out to the political leaders. we want to accept syrians into the community, and its. household its, shoes, clothes. >> nearly 80 syrian refugees have resettled. 20 in jersey city. with governors across the country, vowing to stop refugees

from coming. the future is uncertain. >> wednesday, they welcomed a family of syrian refugees. they were rerouted from indiana. state officials rejected plans to resettle there. it was the right thing, the remaining thing to do. if we believed in god, the morally correct thing to do. the federal government chooses whether to reject refugees, it's unclear how much power the states have to stop resettlement. he is calling on all americans to open their hearts to syrians like them. >> it's a humanitarian question, more than a refugee question. all doors are shut to syrians. >> even if the governors failed to block it, their rejections put scrutiny on the syrian process. syrian refugees go through

autoensive screening. >> we'll watch this over the next few weeks. turkey is often the first option for syrians fleeing the war. ali velshi is in istanbul with more. >> john, i'm here in istanbul, it's been a busy week. this is a crossroads between europe, where we are now, and asia, just across behind me. there was an important conference held by the u.s. think tank, the atlantic council. as you know, it is chaired by john huntsman, the former utah government. and the former u.s. presidential candidate for the republican party. he ran, he did not get nominated. i asked him about the reactions from the governors, about syrian refugees coming to america. >> i think we do what america has done. we are compassionate first and foremost and mix it with

security. it means we have to read the inscription again and again and again. a little bit about the huddled masses escaping oppression abroad. thee are not typical refugees that decide they want to pack up and move somewhere else, there's a tragedy playing out. >> that's a bit of what we talked about. the rest of the interview "on target." >> ali velshi "on target" coming up at the top of the hour i.s.i.l. has a sophisticated, well-funded propaganda machine, it uses the internet. jake ward is with san francisco. jake, we have been spending time, and while the level of horror is portrayed in the videos is unique, groundbreaking, the play book

that all of their visual language comes from is not new. the attacks in paris were seen on screens around the world. caught in this video published by daily mail.com. heard live during this broadcast of a football match. violence captured on video has become its own language. >> you are the followers of the prophet. and now it's our time to spill blood. >> i.s.i.l. deployed that language endlessly and expertly. professional looking videos like this, released a day after the attack. often with subtitles and news experts and flashy transition. >> the brand is the identity of the propagandist. propaganda is not new, it's

becoming more effective. it's reaching a nefarious period when joseph became the minister of propaganda, administration and enlightenment. steven is an expert and says there are two common threads throughout history. >> propaganda comes in two forms, one is raising the awareness, for patriotism, loyalty for people that it's aimed at, and it's also working towards the enemy to take away the will to win. it's both terror and celebration. i.s.i.l.'s propaganda pursues those goals. fighters are trying to look good and frightening their enemies. it's worth noting that the recruitment videos use the same

playbook, they offer the chance to be heroic. techniques are drawn from media. this is video put out that captured a jordanian pilot. later they'll execute him. we will not show that, it's too horrible. in the lead up. they have graphics set up for story. they are familiar, later when they talk to him. there's an effect where they are interviewing him and zooming out on the maps above him. >> it looks very familiar, that's because you see it in video games, here is 2009's "call of duty", one of the most popular games, it's the same effect, that flashing in on the map. it's worth noting that later in the game they are called upon to shoot up an airport. execute civilians, a crowd of

them. you can get through the scene without doing this. you are given the opportunity, western media puts out this all the time. c.j. wilcox is doing this stuff, but it's no wonder the propaganda is mirroring what we put out. >> it's fetishising using camera techniques, storey development, and image eye candy that we are used to seeing in the main stream entertainment industry. at the same time it's haunting to urs, no one more than the united states has, despite the objections of parents and school teachers and psychologists and everyone else in no one but the united states fetishized violence. >> i.s.i.l. is following an effective rule of publicity. keep supplying the media.

al qaeda put out sporadic footage, but every week i.s.i.l. offers something knew for journalists to pick up. in a world steeped in our media, the difficulty for the audience is being able to tell the difference between fiction and reality. >> this is becoming a universal language, and i watch and cannot determine the language and the style in which it's filmed. >> this is a fascinating story, we reach the point where the language is universal. >> it is. >> it seems we cut in the news reporters, bringing in visual effects. you see executions with multiple camera anningels, which is --
