about labeling broad grassroots movements and by the way and shiva has been involved in 900 suspected crimes over the last year and a half but it's a dispersed movement it's not a group so calling it a terror group is a bit of a stretch because it's a movement your moreover we have seen $42.00 crimes against conservative or make america great supporters over the last year and a half so there certainly are crimes but they tend to be dispersed and disorganized and i think you'll see chapters are autonomous and vary from city to city and most of the time they're about boisterous confrontation even sometimes physical jostling but most of the time they are not terribly violent but there is a violent sliver one last quick thing we've had 00 fatalities committed by and he thought and hard left extremists over the last 2 years just this year alone we've had 26 white supremacist extremist homicides in the united states which is more
11:01 am
than all the extremist homicides from all of last year so number one is not a group of though there are individual characters number 2 no fatalities but i do think as as as a political season percolates up that we might see violence coming from them but the white supremacy is far far bigger more coalesced and organized or abroad give me a quick and say because i want to move the conversation or what you think the president was doing then was was this tweet aimed perhaps out of the faithful ahead of the election. that may very well be because for those of us who were analysts in the national security community yes we have our eye on the hard left but bottom line is the biggest most prominent extremist threat facing united states right now are white supremacist far right and there are others that are percolating up the grandmother of u.s. congresswoman russia to leave supports her decision to reject a visa from israel so late in the congresswoman elena oma had been denied visas

11:06 am
go into any kind of deal with mr coburn but is open to any of the names from the labor party there are 2 other names that have been cast in one from one senior politician from the conservative party another senior labor party politician. but while this political wrangling is continuing the clock is still ticking and there is less and less time in which to formulate some kind of plan in order to prevent breaks it from happening and that is the risk that all these politicians who are against such a scenario battling against whether they'll be able to do that without doing a deal with mr coleman is an open thing altogether. human rights activists are accusing syrian government forces not russian are allies of bombing camps for internally displaced people more than 100000 syrians of fled fighting an it glib in the last week it's syria's last rebel held province just a warning that you may find some of the pictures in under chappelle's reports disturbing. these people have already fled fighting in syria but tragically
