participating in a terrorist organization. plotting to target police officers specifically two other suspects detained by the french. investigators on the hunt for two accomplices in the dna bombing of that kosher grocery bombing. this as foreign pinsters gather today to talk terrorism. we begin our cover annual with cnn's phil black. he is live if brussels. what itself the latest there, phil in. >> alisyn belgium authorities request the help of police related to what they discussed last thursday. they have arrested a 33-year-old algerian man. the belgiums now want to be expedited back here. they have not released what role he has played in this plot just yet there. is in addition to the two more belgium national was have been charged in france and will be extradited here as well. all of them accused of involvement in a terror plot

said to be targeting police officers on the street or if police stations. this investigation is still very much ongoing. the country's threat level remains elevated. the proof of that the belgium paratroopers on patrol here on the street of the capital brussels. outside key institutions and jewish sites. >> thanks for the late. meanwhile, in france they are searching for two more suspects that relate them to the kosher grocery store bombing amedi coulibaly. cnn is following these developments out of paris. nick. >> reporter: alisyn, these leads related to dna potentially people close to amedi coulibaly, very important for police. one of those samples found on a

magazine clip containing weapons in his apartment. therefore, police say this person would have known about coulibaly's weapons, that and a media concern. also dna found in a vehicle believed to be used by coulibaly when he went to that kosher supermarket a week ago friday for that hostage taking and killing there. so the implication, that person very close to the operation, important for the police to discover. 10,000 troops still on the streets here in paris. the question how the people here view how their government the tackling this. the answer an affirmative yes. the polls show that is president here has taken a 21-point boost. the prime minister also up 17 points. mikaela. >> nic, thank you very much. the jepp aerld now as the

battle intensifies in yemen. the prime minister is coming under fire. fighting between government forces and shiite rebels. it has been rageing near the presidential palace. there may be a larger looming threat. concerns in the arabian peninsula may benefit from all of this chaos. physical walsh, the only western journalist in yemen joining us live nick. >> reporter: you can see behind me smoke on the hills around the presidential administration. all this violence started in the middle hours of the morning. the president concerned he might see a reduction in his chief of staff by the militia and tribesmen. they might see more key officials abducted. they implemented a security plan road brocks around the buildings. the militia said they wanted to open the roads for the people. somehow clashes broke out.

both sides blame each other. now we are seeing an artillery jewel, they are in residential areas, everywhere i speak almost punctuated by the thug of an artillery shell behind me t. more this country slips into chaos, the more the foot hold al qaeda and the arabian peninsula, the one group who say theyp if you can else than to attack the west in america find a foothold to find it easier. there was a cease-fire under way. both sides came under fire t. prime minister's convoy attacked. the houti convoy attacked on the way out. everyone blaming a mysterious third party. what we are seeing behind seems to me an escalation in the violence and that means more danger in attacks on al qaeda against yemen against the west. >> nick thanks,' much for all of that. so much breaking news let's get

context on all of there and bring in cnn national columnist and editor. everything we are seeing bobby, two raileds in brussels arrests made, athens greece. two in german nine in france. is all of this connected to this charlie hebdo attack? >> some of them. the belgium investigations began long before the charlie help do attacks. the plot was under way even before they accelerated the investigation once charlie help do happened. they think there may be some connection between the two. that has not been established. there are plenty of we are learning now terrorist cells across europe that now need to be turned over. there is an anxiety once charlie hebdo happened some of these cells may feel pressured to act quickly. to bring forward their own plans for terrorist attacks. >> that may have been a trigger? >> maybe.

>> it didn't come from above? they were before but something was triggered by the beginning of the year with charlie help, do everyone starts reacting. people should remember a lot of these arrests will be over inclusive, over broad, there will be big sweeps him some people will be guilty. some will be swept up into it. if it seems there is a lot of activity that generally happens after major attacks. they might be if authority had more time. >> it feels as if there is this global sweep. it feels as tow, europe is under seenl from jihadsiege from jihadists. >> various objections have been saying there are terrorist cells around. they have been monitoring these cells. some they know about. some they don't tow what they're up to. right now it seems as julien

said they are grabbing everybody on tear radar. they have already released a few people as you reported at the top of the hour they released a few people. that might continue to happen as the investigation proceeds some people will be eliminated from the investigation at help co. but they are sending a signal across europe to the people of europe we are here we are alert. don't panic. >> the investigators. >> the investigators, the authorities. don't panic, we are on on the of this we are making arrest there is a certain reassurance. >> fligs to just cracking down on the so-called sleeper cells, is there any discussion in europe about policy clanging the policy and trying to find a way to before they turn into sleeper cells, assimilate programs different communities better? >> that's exactly right. it just not going to work in the assimilation lane will you have all the principles meeting to discuss immigration and how to

mergened not alienate proportions of their population but there will be a not so good side to this despite all the support for leadership right now, there is an undercurrent of sort of anti-immigrant sell tent and anti-semitism, the rise of these right wing political groups throughout belgium, france and other countries, is probably going to be a reaction over the course of the year as well somerset will you see it in both lanes. >> that's fascinating. because it's impossibly hard to have the conversation about better melding communities in that atmosphere that you have just described. >> that's exactly right florida some cases, politicians call for tougher actions, for harsher legal regimes against a hate speech. that seems to run contrary to what we heard in the first charlie hebdo attack. people in the muslim community are saying how come when we say stuff not covered under free speech when you say, it's free

speech that. debate is far from over. we have just beginning. there are right wing politicians across europe that have already been experiencing a political revival. this is catnip for them. this is exactly what they need to stir up the political base which is all about fear and hatred. >> so what do you predict that will happen? >> i don't think it happens in a single day. i think if you look at the trajectory of the year you will see more laws passed more stringent. probably let democratic. >> what does that look like? >> under surveillance information sharing. possibly detention. remember britain has already proposed a strong attention, taking up the passport rules. ten you are going to see the rise in the reaction of right wing extremist groups. just like bobby said they're already there. it's a catnip over the course of 2015 and 2016 as we see these election it will be in response

to the terrorist attacks. >> this is complicated. thank you so much for explaining it to us. nice to see you. let's go over to chris. >> alisyn a different kind of problem going on. flash freeze. that what cad meyers told me the northeast all but paralyzed by i. black ice, doing what it does massive pileups, traffic nightmares for millions out there. so let's go to chad right now with what happens today, my friend. >> reporter: well, it's better today. there are still some spots out from this morning the national weather service out of fork city says hey, be careful. it says 35 but the ground may be 32. so if it looks wet, it could be white. yesterday, certainly, got ugly. sleet, rain ice, we'll be right backing havoc on the roads on sunday. >> real icy. a sheet of ice. >> everything is slippery. >> treacherous black ice causing hundreds of accidents, leading to major pileups, straining passengers and closing highways across the region.

in pennsylvania, multiple interstates shut down across the philadelphia area leaving traffic at a stand still, claiming at least four lives across the state. >> i started pumping my brakes hoping i would stop. >> we feel very fortunate we western involved in it. it's just pure luck. >> this 60 vehicle pileup killed at least one person and injured 30 more. in no there were so many accidents, authority had to call in additional units to handle the backlog of emergency calls. roads as slick as ice skating rinks. this car is slipping out of control down a residential street before hitting into a building. it was the same story in connecticut where police responded to over 200 crashes, including one fatality. transit authority closing bridges while train and bus

service suspensions and delays halted community travel for hours. >> i go guess the only good story is that it was that sunday and not a monday tuesday, wednesday or a thursday or a friday. it got ugly. people getting everywhere. no chance of that 37 in the city. 33 in the poconos. still icy spots around slick spots. not widespread like we seen yesterday him if you see something that isn't quite right. slow down before you get there. it was ugly. philadelphia was literally paralyzed for hours before the temperatures warmed up a little bit. >> thank you very much for that chad keep us in the loop with anything you see out there this morning. appreciate it buddy. >> so far there is in the crash of airasia a link to terrorism, telling reuters they found no threats on the cockpit voice recordings him the jet vanished from radar skreevenl still no

word yet on what caused that crash. and so far we have new information the tell you about. it appears the nsa may have known about hacking abilities before the hacking breach at sony pictures. the fsa had penetrated the security fetwork in 2010. it raises questions why sony was not warned. the evidence gathered by the nsa is a major reason the white house accuses north korea of pull off the sony hack. a different type of movie news first it landed six nomination then clint eastwood's film "american sniper" took out the box office. the $into million take the largest ever for january. is it the oscar buzz or the attraction to the american soldier's story at the center? whatever it is three days in

the $100 million mark already in the snoiper sites. what do you think such a big burst? actual typical play? >> i think the fact that the oscar nominations came out on thursday weather was bad. it drove flow the theater already. why this film? maybe because we feed somebody in a white hat, a good guy. >> i think it's the perfect storm of all those things bad weather and bradley cooper is so appealing and the story, you want to know what made him tick. there was a perfect combination that drove it to these historic numbers. >> the accuracy of the sniper will be the least expensive thing. that's saying something, few see the moi, which you should. the hunt is on across europe for nine suspected terrorists in belgium. they are still at large.

ts believed to be a part of a terror plot. joining me analyst and former u.s. delta force, over the week, we are standing on the map, let's look at those companies involved to a schmo like me, it might seem surprising, to someone like you in the know, it is not at all. >> grurp has been known for a these people. >> joining down on the numbers, two people contained in a tunnel between belgium and france 14 arrests if france 13 in belgium. what does the tell you? to somebody like me it seems like this is happening all at once but there is strategy. >> they had paris, paris attacks hammond. so all the other countries literally started looking for,

okay what about us? what's the after action review? what do we have to look at to make sure this doesn't happen to us. so now all the security services look at the analysis. you have a cell, that may made the authorities have to act now. >> otherwise, they scatter and go underground. >> it becomes a joint fusion operation. as the intelliis coming in the operations are going on fear simultaneously. what it becomes is a snowball effect. if you don't make it it gets bigger big early, if you don't stop it now. >> you got an avalanche. >> absolutely. >> we talked to them on the run, somebody at an airport in the u.k. give us some context. we have been talking an awful lot about belgium. why? we understand per capita the most suspected jihadists per capita and it's such a small

country. >> you know, it is belgium per capita very small. they have a large muslim operation. it's family friends, they're not recruiting they're facebooking, so they come together. they go to syria, they come back. it's right there in the heart of belgium and spread in the heart of europe. >>let move to the middle east. we have seen so much about syria. we will get to yemen. that's a hotbed today. how come it is so easy to get if and out? we hear about fighters returning to their homeland. going back to syria, how is that possible? >> let me put it into context. think about the canadian-u.s. border. very similar, the turkey that's very long and turkey goes into all the way over to the east the west drops down to the mediterranean. have you boats that can go in

and everything. but right now, that border is very porous. so people throughout europe. >> we have seen a lot of refugees free across. >> they land into istanbul. they cross the border. the turkish government i don't think is doing a very good job of stopping those people from coming in. >> what is their dog in the fight? in terms of turkey? >> they have a lot. they have a lot of land. there are turks across the border there. the ukk, their own internal terrorist organization that has used elements of their save haven. it's a big web. >> we see somali and yemen on the pap as well. we understand the unrest going on there, it is widely considered a failed state as well. this is significant. it's a significant threat. >> it is, the failed haven is

giving safe states to go to. somalia, yemen, three other place i have to think about is what about afghanistan northwest frontier pakistan afghanistan that whole area. there is little hotbeds of failed states. they can go to and we'll be right back havoc. >> we should give you an parent programing photo. cnn will take an in-depth look at a battle. two prime time special report at 9:00 eastern. at 9:30 eastern, chris and alisyn will bring you the war within islam. that's an in-depth look at violent extremism and how to stop it him colonel james reese, always a pleasure thanks for being here today. >> take a look at this. what a scary thing to see, that's smoke pouring from a delta jet. a live report ahead. >> highlights from the heart

pounding finish. even i was excited. >> okay that's an on size kick. at discover, we're always here to talk. good, 'cause i don't have time for machines. some companies just don't appreciate .

this morning the faa investigating two very close calls den a delta flight forced to dump fuel and return to the airport after smoke was detected coming from its landing gear. cnn's renee marsh joins us live with more. this is scary, renee. >> alisyn two passenger jets were about a half a mile away from disaster on the runway. the pilot of a jet blue flight avoiding takeoff. that's when they averted what could have been a deadly collision.

. >> no injuries reported. now the faa is investigating how did this happen was it pilot error? controller error? it's unclear at this time. 380 people took off from atlanta, bound for tokyo. a few minutes into the flight the pilot declared an mortgages after a pilot from another plane noticed smoke coming from the landing agreement. it flew at about 7,000 feet, it was in the air for less than 20 minute. we should say it did land safely mikaela. >> what a fright for those on board. hope everybody is okay. heavily armed guards if brussels searching for terrorist sleeper cells. five nationals taken into custody. two other suspects are in french

love it. >> it's hard to dance off beat can i do it. >> everybody is talking about this. >> let the tv buying and dip making begin. the year's superbowl the seattle seahawks stole one from green bay, boy, i tell you. and the new england patriots will play the big game as well. it all happens in arizona, let's bring in laura rutledge. she has this morning's "bleacher report." you couldn't ask for better games. >> that is right. yet, both the seahawks and patriots are expected to make the tiger bowl. in seattle, it didn't look good the seahawks had committed five turnovers and were done. the ball bounces off the packer's player seattle recovers. that sets up marshawn lynch. well he's going to take it to

the house, giving the seahawks the lead. the packers would tie the game with a field goal that. would fit it into overtime. then the seahawks decide to finish the deal russell wilson has the game winning up thedown. seattle is going back to the super bowl to the second straight year cnn's rachel nichols caught up with pete carroll. >> that's how we have been doing it all year long it was never more important. they went ahead and took care of business. >> i seen a lot of games. i think the resilience of our football team is unpatchable. >> it will be a missed opportunity i will probably think about the rest of my career. we're a better team tan that him we played well enough to win we can't blame anybody but ourselves. >> so the afc championships didn't keep you on the edge of your seat nearly as much as the nfc since the patriots handled

the colts easily throughout. tom brady was basically dominating. he threw for three touchdowns in pouring rain, mind you, the patriots blue out the colts 45-7. brady is the first quarterback ever to play in six superbowl dames. >> we had a lot of teams in the past. this one is going to have to, you know win a very important game. kind of lead our legacy. >> so all you have to do is look towards the prognosticators in vegas to see how good this super bowl might be. the seahawks started off last night as a 2.5 favorite. but the line has already moved back towards the patriots. that's just nine hours after this game basically. so it's going to be a good one. >> well they looked a lot more dominant. that was a great example of new england at its best.

thank you very much. >> even i saw. another play on tv people. but it is. >> you will be watching. i am sure there will be some made. don't get me started. >> yay, patriots. >> the president's plan involves hiking taxes. it does stand a chance in a gop congress. boka haram growing more deadly. why isn't anything being done to stop them? we will ask the u.s. ambassador to nigeria. for respawn, building the best interactive entertainment begins with the cloud. this is "titanfall," the first multi-player game built and run on microsoft azure. empowering gamers around the world to interact in ways they never thought possible. this cloud turns data into excitement.

you know about the terror hot spots in syria, iraq yemen, the big response. home grown fighters coming back to europe everybody trying to figure out what to do all the while in nigeria, boka haram operates virtually unchecked. they have wiped out a nigerian town literally off the map. they have used children kidnapped civilians and taking

on the military directly. attacking barracks in nigeria, now, cameroon. this group is a murderous terror group getting bad now worse. why isn't more being done and big allies moments ago, we put the situation to the ambassador to nigeria. "new day" i'd like to get your latest insights on the news of the 80 people kidnapped by boka haram. any word on their position? >> this latest is the latest in a continuous of war that goes well before april in that part of the country. >> you couldn't be more right. it is the latest. hundreds by the smallest count gone. you seen the picture just about

everything levelled. he man rights organizations may be lost. no real urgency from countries like your own, the united states how do you explain that? >> i have to disagree the united states skood with nigeria since the early days of counterterrorism. struggle. no country is doing more through equipment, through training. through all sorts of things. it's more than a military issue. it's building up the conditions so this kind of thing can't happen again. >> when you look at what's going on around the world and the commitment of western country, the coless especially the united states do you not see it happening in any jerria. as you know better than we do mr. ambassador they say they need weapons, bullets. so easy to provide, such a small commitment. why isn't that getting done?

>> that's exactly why we are work sock closely with theny algerian mill ijeern /* nigerians. dealing with boka haram that has immersed itself in the civilian population that couldn't care how many people it's killed much of our dealing is dealing with iraq and afghanistan from the lessons we have learned will. >> yet we are not seeing any progress this organization raises they're a murderous hoard, just running rough shod over the country side there, seemingly unchecked. and i understand that there are barriers to entry for the united states and others getting involved some leading up to the

president, himself, good luck jonathan. is that the issue, that he's not asking that he doesn't take this serious enough. he is keeping people like the united states from helping as much as they could? >> i don't see a close barrier. as i said we are heavily engaged with the army it's a slow sometimes frustrating prorks the international community is doing nothing is not accurate the president was up in that area recently. i imagine he is incredibly frustrated by this as well. we have to keep on keeping on. sadly, it's not going to be solved overnight. >> do you have questions whether they are taking off, are you worried that an election will be drawing tens of thousands of people into potential attack by

an unchecked boka haram. >> no i don't worry about that across the nation. obviously, conducting in the northeast part of the country will be problematic. we are working closely with the nigerians to make sure the thousands displaced be think conflict can vote. the fact that they are displaced doesn't mean it should be disenfranchised. the election commission is up to a tight time line. i see no reason why the elections should be delayed. >> there is a third one on the ballot. it has the world attention. we come to you. to see what the most powerful world is doing about i. good luck in your duties there. >> chris, tanks very much. pleasure to suv. >> well, the president says he

. >> president obama proposing tax increases on the wealthy. we are told the president will sell his idea tuesday on the state of the union address. he will make the case increased revenue will impact child care credit. does his plan have a chance of making it through the republican-controlled congress? let bring in ben ferguson ben is a host of the "ben ferguson show." gentleman, thanks for being with us. let us show you what the presidentb will be pitching tuesday fight. his plan calls for an increase on tax for couples earning a half a million a year. fees on large financial

institutions and will raise over ten years. mark how is this plan going to go over? >> oh smoothly. the republicans will applaud it. it will be the first in history. this isn't going to pass. i think it's important for the president to do this. he needs to layout a coherent cohesive plan. obviously, the puts the ball in republican heads. the argument will be why will he put through something that doesn't pass. first of all, republicans have been doing it for years. i'm not saying it's right. it's necessary to start the conversation and present to the american people a plan that makes sense. >> if you don't think it's right that he did it because they did it. don't mention it as a reason. let me come over to you. >> i can say i imagine it being a counterargument. >> it shouldn't be that let's not give it as an option.

ben, let me ask you the, though i believe from your sides the optics are, he should have done it then why do it now? is this a false narrative? he was trying to get it done. he was unsuccessful because of the opposition. >> why would you do it now then? the answer is he never purposed hard for this this is a classic example of political pandering. he obviously doesn't want to hand the keys over to 1,600 avenue no republicans. so look at what he's doing? he is not going around the country campaigning on this. he knows this is never going to happen. the narrative is great for democrats. the republicans are evil rich people and don't want to help the middle class out.

can you go campaign on that. he knows it doesn't going to pass if he thought he had a chance he would be going around the country talking ab it. this is a one liner for the political game only. >> i want to read something i find personally entertaining. this is northwest ahead of an anti-pack group it's like a teenage boy on a prom date. they ask different ways. mark, my point is this, american taxpayers are thinking this is a waste of time and keying up the congress and the president for a whole another wound and we saw what we saw a few years ago. it will frustrate taxpayers. >> everything that happens is

frustrating to all of us. you have to layout a policy an agenda. the president campaigned if 2012 on this very thing. he can campaign on economic populism. we need to close the gap between the haves and have nots. now, the president a type of gains tax has increased from 15% to around where we are. he wants to get up to 28%. py point is it's not as if he's done anything he has been doing this and gradually gives a tax credit to people going to college makes sense. then it's up to republicans to then respond. i think it's important. >> go ahead, ben. >> here's the thing. i think part of the issue with the ideas he has, they're not well thought out, which tells you you don't believe in them. why only limit it to community college. the you have a kid coming out of the city he makes it into an

incredible university. why wouldn't he get the same tax credit? sometimes, but my point is it should be for wherever you choose to go. he specifically is focusing on community colleges and puttingtime people in community colleges if you're an incredible student. you should be able use a public or private university of your choice because you are rewarded for how hard you work. i will say this the tax craze for two parents working. hold on a second. mark is making a point that it's not just about because that population is dealing with a lot of sensitivity. there is a whole different initiative. it applies to all college. its just not rue. >> you have a 25% aspect of this that goes to state level and governors are talking about this

saying well, if it's a private university how are we going to have the funds go towards that? there is a policy issue, several governors have mentioned that as well saying you should use this and spend it wherever you choose to go. the state should not be put in this position to go to state universities or community colleges. >> it's also free money. >> hold on, guys let's change topics. we want to talk about the presidential side and mitt romney is considering another bid. we are told one of the themes he would hit hard is the income inequality in the country. mark, obviously, mitt romney knows a lot about finances and economics. how do you think that message goes over from mitt romney? >> first of all, it clears the way. i don't think economic populism works with a guy caught on tape talking about the takers of the world. i don't think he's the person to present that message.

>> how does he get past that? >> everybody turns running for president isn't a millionaire. i think the issue is does the guy understand business and state finances and government. yes. here's his biggest problem. he's the most brilliant, boring candidate we have as a prospect of being in this field. that's what will hold him back if i'm a republican and i can only go into one room am i going to pick mitt romney's room? probably not. if i want someone to help me with my finances he's the guy you go to there is that lack of an x factor with him. >> there is another piece of this. >> what's the other piece, mark? >> if he runs up against a democrat then he lays actual policy which is the exact same thing he has been talking about for the last 12 years, if he runs against hillary clinton or

anyone else they will see he is talking about tax for the rich. >> ben ferguson we always love a good ro bust conversation with the two of you. happy monday my friends. talk to you soon. >> happy martin luther king day. this is one of the themes we are on today. what do you say? let get to it. went people were arrested in anti-terror raids in belgium, france and germany. >> this is an international fe tom none. >> what these terrorists represent is a per version of a major religion him we have to take them on with everything we got. >> he made several trips to yemen. investigators are trying to figure out whether one or both of the brothers ever met with anwar al awlaki. >> a huge opening for "american sniper." >> what does the success of "american sniper" say about what

americans feel right now? >> this is "new day" with chris cuomo, alisyn cameroto and michaela pereira. >> heavily armed guards are dispatched across brussels five suspected nationals in custody plotting to target police officers two other suspects if french custody this morning. >> here's what we know. security is being tightened at key targets outside embassies and belgium's national museum. all this is going on as european foreign ministers gather today to talk terrorism. cnn has this story comforted, of course like no other fourth quarter can. let's start with nic robertson live in paris what do we know? >> reporter: dna found in coulibaly's apartment, amedi coulibaly, the gunman that took people inside a supermarket,

killing four of them t. dfa found on ammunition on a gun clip containing bullets. >> that important to police. it means that person would have known about coulibaly's weapons, potentially is out there with weapons of its own. the car coulibaly used to get to the supermarket, again, a potential acome policecomplice that knew what coulibaly was doing. 10 tuchlt troops on the streets here in paris. how do the french people view how the government is handling it? the answer is they view it very favorably. the president getting a 21-point poll boost. the prime minister 17 points up in his popularity too. >> thanks so much. meanwhile, growing concerns at al qaeda's branch in yemen claimed responsible for the

charlie help co attack may benefit from the growing instability in yemen. that country's prime minister in hiding. he left with yemen's president. fighting between government forces and houti shiite rebels has been rageing near yemen's presidential palace. giving them an opportunity to make its move. let get the latest from the only western tv journalist there next. >> reporter: mikaela, that fighting is ongoing now. every once in a while you hear the shelling stop. it picks up around the presidential administration the pals a. the president's people deeply concerned after the kidnap of the chief of staff. more could be abducted. the houti's admitted nay have detained the chief of staff to stop a constitution implemented. they introduced a security plan. they want the roads unbrocked, they say. for the people.

we den flow who shot first. he was shot at as he left. his people blame the houti. one of their convoy attacked as it left that same cease-fire the fighting ongoing. a state tv falling under houti's hands. that's a shiite rebel movement. organized, disciplined. predominantly shia we are urging further to that conflict. they will find frightened sunnis. something they should be scared of of.

you want to be sure you are the only westerns in yemen. let get to another one. >>let go to ivan watson. he is live in brussels with the latest there. ivan. >> that's right t. top diplomats are gathering for a meeting. the top of their agenda discussing terrorist threat in the wake of the charlie hebdo attacks. in the wake of a police raid in brussels last thursday that ended up in a gun battle. they were a part of an alleged plot to attack belgium police. we have since learned a third suspect arrested in that house has been identified by his defense attorney as a 25-year-old belgium citizen of morgan dissent from here in brussels. his defense attorney insists his client is incident of charges of participation in a terrorist

organization. he insists his client is a licensed security guard here who is only going to the house where the police raid took place last thursday to deliver some nike sneakers to one of the suspects who was later killed he then described junk out of a window to escape the gun battle. he is currently being held in a prison. four of his family members were detained in a police raid at the time he was arrested in another city. those people have since been released. bell judge authorities have demanded the expedition of two more suspects arrested if france. another man who was arrested if greece they believe is related to this alleged jihadi plot. >> thank you very much. i don't know about you but my head is spinning with all these arrests, everything going on seemingly at once.

why? let's bring in christy amanpour and fran townsend fran i start with you. i'm not kidding i mean this is,let take a look at the footballs, police raids and arrests just this weekend. okay. two raids in brussels on sunday. five belgium nationals were charged after the raid thursday three in custody, two released under strict conditions. four arrested in athens two in germany, bellgium requesting the expedition. the obvious question is this is there any connection to this. is this connecting the dots of paranoia? >> your head is spinning it's not entirely clear. there is some belief that at least one of the individuals in greece is related to the belgium

cell. the question is are any related to what went on in paris amid charlie hebdo investigations. we saw all these foreign fighters who went over to the syria war theater. they came back. whether or not these guys are related. the foreign fighter threat in western europe is per vase it. i think you will continue to see these sources of investigation. the other thing is these guys can travel in between unobstructed if you will. the problem here is while there has been large imgrag in the euro zone that has not applied where law enforcement is concerned. there is not great sharing across these european countries. >> we get the threat but it's not new. why this flurry of activity

right now? has this been going on. we have not been covering it? >> no we have been covering it. i think the serious threat after isis is one the western intelligence and junt identified as the current big threat. european muslims recruited in any which way to fight in syria and isis. being instructed to come back and attack their home country. that's the isis model right now. that kind of what we saw and what the belgiums say. this is a syria-related plot. it comes ahead of the internal service, saying they have thwarted dozens of plots related to syria. that's one thing. ten you have al qaeda in the

peninsula popping up with the kouachi brothers and some are saying that perhaps european western intelligence were so focused that briefly or maybe not briefly, they took their eye off the al qaeda in the peninsula threat. all is coming at the same time. to build on what france said about the free flow of people an passengers around certain european countries, i spoke to the head of the eu anti-terror unit who said what they hope and plan to get the a pnr, passenger name record. they need to have that and they need they feel the political will is there to allow that. >> one it seems like phone under surveillance. we had a lot of fight in the u.s. we have talked about. that i want you to explain what the zhang en thing is all about.

belgium, the terror threat it has more foreign fighters tan any other european country. why belgium? what does that make? >> the zhang en visa allowed, if you were either a citizen or a valid visa holder passport holder you could travel freely among those countries without a visa. it lowered the borders, if you will. >> it's supposed to encourage examiners. now it's become what? >> that's right. it's become a cal for them. that wouldn't be so bad, chris, if you had the same sort of free flow of intelligence information. that exactly what they are

talking about. if you get the pnr data it will awlou them to track more easily those persons of interest. >> so the bad guys are moving around more quickly than the intelligence can follow? >> exactly right. >> it's interesting, chris, it's not they had the most fighters sort of from a particular country. it's as a percent annual of their population which is very concerning it's not clear why. we have seen immigration into the european union. there have been pockets if france and german and italy but belgium is a country of interest. >> what is next. not in terms of the next attack. in terms of the trending of where we see cells and activity from which country? >> all these countries we talked

about remain really problematic. as i say, andrew parker suggested that even britain is susceptible to what he called a mass casualty attack in the future and other countries in the west. the security trend so to try also to get more access to what prime minister cameron has called for the dark poerns of the internet. all of this requires civilian privacy with the need for security. it's also political. plus as you were talking ab why belgium, why this and the other? there has to be by these countries, a lot of society is defunkt as well. >> that there is a lot of radicalization in jails and other such places. that's something that governments are going to have to deal with as well as the security issue. >> thank you very much for the

insight. remember,al sen, obviously, we are talking about something going on abroad, but the united states every bit as concerned of water happening in europe over what could be happening here. >> absolutely. suspect alarming going on at home to tell you about. the fbi and secret service are investigating a drive-by shooting by vice president biden's home if delaware. multiple gunshots outside the secret service perimeter surrounding his property. the bidens were not inside at the time. cnn's michelle kazinski is fol the developments wide. it must make them nervous, michelle. >> we are seeing security interest and the fbi and secret service and local law enforcement on this. we know there were searches done outside the biden's home as well as other houses and police said they found no evidence or damage. what the secret service says was that saturday fight around 8:30

while the bidens were out. they were not home at the time. a car drove up to the outside of the house going fast. it didn't actually stop or slow down. fired multiple shots and then sped. one of the agents even said that he had seen that car a. short time later, there were more gunshots reported in an area monita. but this happened outside of the security perimeter of the bietden'sbietd bietd biden's home. the security is being stepped up now. >> thanks for the update. >> we are learning more about the investigation into the sony hack. by the time they broke from the nsa had already penetrated north korea's security network. according to "new york times," the spy agency implemented a top secret program to track north korean government hackers as far back as 2010. it is unclear whether the nsa

had advanced warning of the sony pictures hack. the white house blamed the breach based on nsa data. all right, it is parten lutherlut -- martin luther king day. there will be a wreath laying at the memorial in washington, d.c. it's getting started, obviously, in about an hour it will become a full ceremony there. that's not the only place, cities like boston and memphis will have their own tributes. there are protests against race imand police violence as well. in the san francisco bay area at least three people were detained if a largery peaceful demonstration. oprah winfrey and her "selma" co-stars marching sunday in alabama along hundreds of others. the superbowl 49 patchup is set. somehow the seahawks found a way to get there. they were down 12 points to the

packers with less than three minutes to go. they scored a touchdown. they recovered an onside kick. they scored again to actually take the lead before green bay then tied it up and sent the game in overtime. russell wilson threw a 35 yard touchdown pass to inwith it. wow. that was a nail biter. no such drama for tom brady and the patriots. so it will be the seahawks patriots in super bowl 49 february 1st in arizona. >> russell wilson crying after the game? he should have been. >> if they hadn't won this game he would have had so much stink on him. he played so poorly up until those last moments. that's all that matters. >> so we still have time. february 1st we have to draw the line on "new day." . >> you already know which way i'm going. >> you have to go with your boy.

>> he's not going to like that. he's sitting home in his patriot's jammies now. >> do they have the feet on? let us know who you are rooting for. meanwhile the brothers have carried out the deadly charlie hebdo attack in france have a dark past. we will take a closer look at how these terrorists become radicalized. >> a historic moment later this week a u.s. and cuban government will come face-to-face. remember how long it has been. what will be on the agenda. we will take to you havana for the very latest. when heartburn comes creeping up on you... fight back with relief so smooth... ...it's fast. tums smoothies starts dissolving the instant it touches your tongue ...and neutralizes stomach acid at the source. ♪ tum, tum tum tum...♪

>> we want to take a closer look at the two brothers and how they got on that radicalization.

paul thanks for being here. let's look at tear time line. it starts in 2004. when they met, one of the brothers met this person who is this? >> a young charismatic cree cure. he is running a study circle. they are radicalized by the u.s. invasion and cherif radicalized. they are trying to persuade young people to fight against iraq. he is intercepted by the police and goes to prison if 2005. what happens when he gets to jail? >> in jail he meets this guy, a senior al qaeda officer, this is a guy recruited in afghanistan for a plot to attack the american embassy in paris. that's going to go into operation after 9-11.

this guy is put in jail. he meets cherif in jail and amedi coulibaly. that's how this circle gets to know each other. >> coulibaly shows up 2010 they're arrested. what is this for? >> they will get involved in a plot to free an algerian terrorist from jail. a guy who had been involved in a plot in 1995 to bomb the paris metro. the police are listening in. they bust these guys. >> okay. they go to jail or they don't? >> some go to jail cherif is a control that's put on him and his passport is confiscated. >> okay. but then even though that happened in 2011. we believe that one of them was able go to yemen. >> that's the extraordinary thing. cherif had his passport

confiscated. what does he do? he borrowed his passport. that the period when u.s. intelligence actions believe he met with this guy anwar al awlaki. a terrorist mastermind on plots like the under wear plot. they believe clearive got training al awlaki probably recruited him into this plot at that time 2011. >> when you say recruited him. was the blot just attack anybody who says anything against the prophet muhammad or go after carley hebdo. >>. >> they are making it sound like there was a specific target. it might have been a general thing, launch attacks in europe him we know awlaki was obsessed be i the cartoons. >> so somehow between 2011 and 2015 when of course the charlie hebdo attack happened did they lay this wait? >> they lab on the bayons in

yemen. the brothers wait this defense out. it was a exactly what al awlaki toll these troops. it's when the french take off the under surveillance if june 2014 they move forward towards this plot. >> so in june 2014 the french backed off thinking things had settled down. do we know today why a week first half ago they went and did this plot on that day? >> we don't know why it was particularly on that day they might have had intelligence to kill the maximum staff. it appears after the french stop watching them closely, they are able move forward with this plot. >> from 24 to 2015 what is remarkable to you? >> it's 11 years.

these guys are true believers, they have this deeply religious engrained ideology that's world news, the u.s. france is at war with islam. this guy cherif believed in 2004 2005 he needs to fight back. he needs to be a soldier. they picked that time. >> and is there anything along this line to have intercepted along that path in 2004 when they met that imam. even prison didn't stop them. it seems it helped cultivate that more? >> absolutely. prison found contacts. they came across this key al qaeda figure recruiter. there is a lot of prison radicalization. they are in jail not because they are radical, for petty crimes and being recruited into the course. big, big problems if france. the french prime minister now talking about isolating some of these extremists in french jails

to stop this problem from persisting. >> that would be helpful. thanks so much for looking into the time lean for us. keep it here tonight. cnn will take an in-depth look with two prime time report. we have inside the paris attacks for you. at 19:30 eastern, chris and i will bring you the war with islam. that's an in-depth look at violent extremism and how to stop it. >> the u.s. are set to embark on a few future together. both governments days away from a face-to-face meeting. president obama is set to propose a tax relief for the middle class is steep. the bigger question is can he get this plan through republican-controlled congress? we'll discuss that ahead.

hey! guess what day it is?? >>hump day! hummmp daaay! it's hump day! >>yeah! >>hey mike! mike mike mike mike mike! >>mike mike mike mike mike. hey! he knows! hey! guess what day it is! hey! camel! guess what day it is! >>it's not even wednesday. let it go, phil. if you're a camel, you put up with this all the time. it's what you do. (sigh) if you want to save fifteen percent or more on car insurance, you switch to geico. it's what you do. ok...

welcome back to your "new day." what is happening in cuba is history, people it will be remembered as a good or bad shift is a separate question. for the first time in decades, literally since the '60, assistant secretary of state will be dispatched by the president of the united states to commence diplomatic talks with cuba. a small delegation are in cuba. ahead of this week's talks, let's go right there. cnn following historic developments. karl it's great to have you there in havana. what do you know? >> well chris.

it was dwight eisenhower one of the last acts of his diplomatic relations with cuba and under jfk, don't forget relations became so bad. they threatened to push the entire world to the brink of nuclear war. now president obama deciding the col war is over that's why jo cabazon is coming into town. thursday the will meet to discuss how to restore diplomatic talks. it will be down here in havana can we put more staff down here to do the job. >> that will open the days and weeks to talk about trade an commerce. of course they can be obviously

on this road. >> that is because it is congress who will decide if they are able at some stage to lift a half century embargo against cuba. >> there with is a delegation there. alan gross, spain, getting that man home there. we remember the picture of him on the plane, where he was watching "few day." that's not why we like the pick. it's great. that's all i like. but all of this politics winds up becoming about the people. the obviously human rights problems that go on in that country seemingly without any answer. how do the people feel their, karl about what this means? do they think it will be good for them? >> >>. >> there are a couple strategies ordinary cubans are worried about travel restrictions that came into effect over the week. that essentially means they could get more colors in their

pocket if more american travelers are in cuba to fund the impact on their pockets. talking to oppositions, dissident movements, they are very adamant. they do not believe this is time to give favor to the regime revising to jacobson is don't open political ties with cuba right now, because in their words, the castros have to go before there can be a real substitution u solution. >> there has always been karl. how do you help the people without involving the castros. thank you very much for reporting. >> take a look at the headlines here, yemen's information minister says his nation's presidential palace has come under an attack in an attempted

coup. there has also been an assassination attempt on the life of prime minister. yemeni state tv is under the control of the houti movement. we will continue to bring you the latest information. mitt romney says he is considering running for president again, because of his desire, you would anticipate it's raising all sorts of eyebrows after the infamous words, dismissing 47% of american voters. the faa investigating two very close calls, a jet blue flight had been cleared for takeoff. bass doing so the pilot suddenly hit the brakes because another plane crossed his path. the faa said they came within 2,200 feet from each other. smoke from the landing gear of a delta flight forcing that pilot to turn back after burning off

fuel. an exstrortdextraordinary story. he is inside the sandwich pickup truck. his only injury required like a couple of band aids and ice. he was among a dozen people hurt. miraculously no one was killed. he jins us on "new day" 8:30 eastern. we will talk to him how he feels today. wait for that. >> he feels two dimensional. >> first question. whoever took that picture. >> can you give me a hint here buddy? >> i hope it's not in lieu of saving efforts. >> the person did go then and try to help him.

>> after. >> he took the picture. >> you have to wait. >> on the hold there. the window. >> the concern is too, with that kind of compression, what happens when you do pull them apart. that's the concern. we will talk to them about it. right now, though, a pressing question is this. new tax recalls, the president is suggesting he will unveil it to help middle class families during his annual state of the union address. will these measures make it through the new republican-control congress. cnn's money, romans is here what the president is proposing, what it means for you, first up christine, happy mon. what's in it? >> it's sort of a tax populism. who can be against more goodies for the middle class? two years of free community college for students. and $500 tax credit for working

married couples to help for child care and an increase in the top child care credit to $3,000 per kids. that's tripling the child care credit. >> who can be against it? >> the answer is republicans, because part of it is taxing the wealthy, the banks and the wealthy, takeing from the rich and the big banks to pay for the president's populist move which many say will never pass. what you hear from republicans, they want broad tax reform. they don't want this taking from rich people and banks, they want wages to grow and their policies to do it. there are some stuff in here that is by both party versus agreed to. so the president is sort of daring i think republicans, hey, i'm daring you, why don't you try to be against the middle class here. >> the middle class getting squeezed a a non-party issue. the banks, though the

beneficiaries of the largest welfare program in world history, what was done for them? why shouldn't they be feed fee'd. >> in here there are new fees for big banks that would make billions of dollars the banks will not like it. but it's these big banks, $50 billion and above if revenue. it would be new fees for them for their ricky behavior that they do of course in their business. that won't fly with republicans. it won't fly with the banks putting in there to show he knows how to pay for the new goodies. the backdrop of all of this wages are not rising if they don't rise the middle class doesn't share in the economic benefits we've had. this is what the president is trying to do. >> we'll see how this goes over. great to see you. pro-islam protests breaking out all over the world, torts comb

. >> protesters took to the streets to condemn charlie hebdo and its depiction of the prophet muhammad. the next guests say those protests are indicative of the column. she writes the charlie hebdo demand we at least acknowledge to be secular, democratic world is imperilled by islam im. dr. augustkmed i want to challenge you on that to see if you are overstating it somehow, there are 320 million people in the united states by michael calculation in the past several years, 50 americans have been arrested for radical jihad. that hardly being imperilled. you are not being overrun by jihadists. so what do you mean? >> that's a great question. first i think there is a distinction in the nature in which islamism is expressed. there is a violent expression we

have seen in paris. you are right, our authority have kept us incredibly secure after september 11th. that's true. there is a fawn violent aspect which actually inspires these violent attacks. the charlie hebdo attacks were inspired on the idea that it was blasphemy to defame islam. that has been binding over a decade. between 1999 and 2011 or '12, each year oic nations, that's muslim nations have led the effort ocriminalize what they believe is deaf defamation of islam. it constitutes even the right to have this discussion. >> so in other words we shouldn't be looking at this in terms of when there is a terrorist attack. you are saying it's pernicious

even in the u.s.? >> the discussion we have having at the moment is perilous. i feel it's perilous. i am sure others will feel the same. the reason is our right to debate ideas is being confined certainly the chilling effect. the reason american networks are not showing these images which would be offensive to me as well is there is a fear of violent retaliation. that's augustmented bymented by the opportunities for debate in the united states. >> when you sa i this conversation we are having on "new day" right now is perilous you mean we get so much blowback on social media of people criticizing even after he ask these questions. >> i mean perilous as a believing muslim. i no way shape or form seek to defame my precious belief. i do not see islamism as a

religion. it needs to be exposed as an ideology. instead, it seeks shelter in the privilege of religion. also it's perilous for all broadcast journalists as well. there are consequences for their organizations. >> one of the heartening things i would imagine is after the charlie hebdo massacre online the cartoons went viral. so people started spreading them in other words. even having these conversations in public and on television is the internet fighting back against islamism. >> that's very complicated question. and in one sense, yes, of course ideas can be freely communicated. in another sense, i this i this also triggers a much more violent and much more global response and that violent global response is very much fed and supported by the concept that to

discuss any aspect of islam is somehow defamatory. we are clear, we do not agree the cartoons are respectful. >> that should not trigger lethal violence. >> and to your point, that's not in the ka wasn't. >> as far as i understand it the karan does not validate blasphemy by a huh pan being on another human being. if it is recognized to be a crime, it is one god will adjudicate himself. >> you write in your "news day" column in order to defeat islamists, we will have to engage islam and its followers. are you suggesting moderate muslims are not engaged in this? >> i think that islamism whether it's non-violent or violent, has great power and authority. it has power and authority, for instance to pass resolutions that fit with the ideology and

united nations, it is the basis of iran and pakistan and saudi arabia and until recently also egypt. so it's the word moderate is very deficient. what we need to empower are diverse voices who are anti-islamists. that's anyone they deem her reticks -- heretics. we need to liberate the conversation including chilling effects here in the united states. >> so talking about it as much as we can helps? >> helps and there is also reclaiming our lexicon. words have been redacted from governmental documents and from federal action federal actions, we have to claim language before we can start to talk about this problem. >> dr. akmed, it's always great to have you on.

>> thank you, alisyn. >> a talk we need to keep having it. here's another angle, "american sniper" shattering the box office. why? are americans waiting for a hero? we will discuss and weigh in.

>> all right. there you go. that's a clip from the box office blockbuster, "american sniper." the movie is an oscar contending film no question about that. about navy seal chris kyle. and a hard look at the war on terror. the clint eastwood-bradley cooperation just shattered box office records 90.2. why? is it a great movie or more about the american psyche today. let's bring in the host of reliable sources. you say you loved this movie and you had to ask yourself why. that's why you're here. >> it was the best movie i've seen all year.

these are incredible numbers. i don't think any expected $90 million over the weekend. even warner brothers of cnn here say they think it will go down in history in the box office charges. >> more than "avatar" and you remember all the publicity blitz "avatar" got. why do you think audiences are responding to it so much. >> this is the first iraq war themed movie at the box office. even "the hurt locker" made 20 million overseas and made $50 million overall. already over the weekend, "american sniper" is bigger than any iraq war. maybe because it doesn't deal with politics whether we should have been there, the reality what it was like for one soldier once he was there. a soldier's eye point of view. >> could it be i wonder because there is a different focus now. not as many of our young men and women are there. more time in the past. not quite as contemporary as it

once was. i think it was too hard of a reminder of people their sons and daughters going over i want watch a movie about that. >> fundamentally most of the conversation about iraq is negative and what happened with our country in iraq is negative. this is a positive portrayal, a film with an american hero. this man, chris kyle was legendary years ago wrote a book about his experience in iraq and his story somewhat well-known already and dramatized in this way. it has bradley cooper also entertaining and emotional and made by clint eastwood. it has all the qualities automatically that help boost it overall. >> in terms of the themes aren't we always hungry for themes of bravery and courage and against all odds. >> especially in a situation where the u.s. gets beat up. >> that's why the movie is so controversial. michael moore is attacking it

and a billboard with murder written across in graffiti suggesting the sniper is a murderer not a hero. >> it's all about chris kyle is a sniper right now. that's what people are talking about. when he came back home he helped the population of veterans still the most neglected. he wound up hearing about ptsd and obviously he must have been suffering with it what he went through and he focused on it and discussed it in this is book and wound up leading to his demise. >> a veterans activist said we think films like "american sniper" may bring americans closer to us than anything else. that may be the most important quality of this movie over time. >> it humanizes people. >> starts conversations what this movie is a like. this is a movie -- i don't think i'm the one that experienced this no one gets up right away. everyone watches the across. by the time i was ready to go they were cleaning up the theater.

you want to think about it. that's the kind of movie it is. i think it is helpful to bring americans closer to the experience. >> i can't wait to see it. >> a reminder the war is not over when our fighting men and women come back home. what did you think about what we just said? did you see the movie or going to see it tweet us at "new day." or facebook. >> whatever you want to do. your choice really. president obama wants the middle class to pay less and the rich to pay more when it comes to taxes. he faces an uphill battle in congress and we'll hear from the white house how they think they will pass this plan. i recall an imam who wanted to build a mosque in the shadow of ground zero why he says it's getting harder to convince people islam does not incite terrorism.

several arrests over the weekend show just how wide the web of terror cells has spread. >> this is an international phenomenon. >> what these terrorists represent is a perversion of a major religion. we have to take them on with everything we've got. >> as a muslim any time any kind of terror attack happened the whole muslim community is on the edge. >> we don't do enough of an effort to reach out to the community and really understand it. >> there was a 70 car pileup in oregon. a man pinned between two semis. it's amazing this guy survived. >> this is "new day" with chris

cuomo, alisyn camerota and mikaela pereira. >> good morning. it is monday january 19th, just before 10:00 in the europe 500 belgian s belgians suspected of working with a terror organization to murder police officers and two other suspects. >> and on the hunt for other terrorists whose dna has been linked to the kosher market gunmen. cnn has every angle of this covered. let's begin with ivan watson live with us in brussels. what do we know this morning, ivan? >> reporter: alisyn belgian authorities have been very tight-lipped about the suspectses they arrested and killed in a police raid last

thursday against a suspected jihadi cell they claim was planning attacks on belgian police. two expects were killed in gun battles with police thursday night and a third arrested while apparently trying to jump out of the window to escape the apartment where the gun battle took place. we spoke with the defense attorney for this suspect now in belgian custody and identified him as a 25-year-old belgian of moroccan descent. a defense attorney tells me his client is innocent of current charges he's facing for participation in a terrorist organization for possession of weapons and explosives and plans for armed rebellion. he says that this young man was actually a licensed security guard who lived here in brussels and the defense attorney says his client was only in the apartment raided by police where the gun battle broke out because he was trying to deliver a pair

of nike sneakers to one of the suspects who subsequently was killed while shooting back at belgian police. we're starting to get a profile of one of these suspects and hoping to learn more about other suspects arrested in belgian, france and greece, all awaiting expedition back to gel gan in connection with this alleged jihadi plot. >> ivan watson thanks so much for that. meanwhile, authorities in france searching for two people linked to the dna kosher market. nine others remain in custody. cnn aes cnn's nick robertson is live in paris. what do we know nic? >> reporter: alison why are these two suspects dna so important to the police? some of that dna belonging to one of these people was found in a weapon in coulibaly's

apartment, found on a gun magazine clip containing bullets. the suspicion is that this person at the very least knew coulibaly was armed and potentially dangerous and concern this person playmay also have weapons and may be on the loose, armed and dangerous. the second set of dna in a vehicle found to have been used by coulibaly to get to that kosher supermarket where he killed four people and again potential for accomplice there who knew what was happening. this person could be on the loose and could be dangerous. how are the french authorities handling this? the french public apparently believes they are handling it well. a poll has shown the french president has gone up 20 points in popularity and the french prime minister has gone up 17 points in popularity. we turn to yemen.

growing concerns al qaeda's branch in yemen that claimed respond for the "charlie hebdo" attack may benefit from growing instability there, attempted coupe for this political faction that occurred overnight and sent the prime minister into hiding and the situation is so dire they're ready to advocate the area. and there is only one journalist there which speaks to the violence of the story. he has the very latest. >> reporter: chris, all around the presidential building came under attack by presidential officials who are calling this an attack by the rebel movement there. the tribes moved into the kap tal capital months ago.

it started 48 months ago the chief of staff being kidnapped and concerned they might be next and they said yes. and they put in a security plan and that angered them. clashes began and we're not sure who started and we do know there's been heavy shelling and calls for a cease-fire. the prime minister came out of it and his convoy came out and the other representative came out and they're now being controlled by this group and they denied that. they say they're looking to stop a constitution they don't agree with. looks like the battle for power on the streets will decide who is in charge at yemen. deeply troubling because the more yemen spirals into chaos the greater space the al qaeda

have and the greater chance they have of launching attacks against the west. back to you. >> thanks for that. at home the president is set to reveal sweeping new tax proposals to help middle class americans. some call this a robin hood plan paid for by fee hikes on big bank banks and other wealthy. >> does it have a chance of passing the republican controlled congress. david joins us live. david. >> good morning, alisyn. >> let me put up on-screen for our viewers what we understand is the president's plan. it will increase the taxes on couples who earn half a million dollars or more. fees on large financial institutions. the president says it will raise $320 billion over 10 years. it's the first tenet there, david, tax increases on the wealthy republicans long said

they don't believe would help and they would fight. why start there? >> alisyn first of all, many of the proposals the president is putting forward actually come from republicans. the idea on financial fees is similar to one put forward by david kemp. 28% on capital gains goes back to the rate it was under ronald reagan. many ideas have come forward from republicans in the past. here's why it's important to do. it's important for us to find every single way we can to provide relief for middle class families. as the economy, finally after six years, to the point people are beginning to feel it we need to make sure we lean in so folks have a little bit more money at the end of the week and more importantly all the opportunities to get ahead. this is why we call this middle class economics and will be the focus tomorrow night. >> as i'm sure you're aware, mitt romney is considering another run for the white house and says it is actually

president obama who has increased the poverty rate in the united states. here is what mitt romney said friday night. >> under president obama, the rich have gotten richer. income inequality has gotten worse and there are more people in poverty in america than ever before. >> there are more people living in poverty than ever before. how does the white house counter that? >> tomorrow is the sixth anniversary of when the president took office when there were 800,000 people losing their jobs per month when we didn't know whether or not we were going into a depression rather than a recession. the policies that the president put in place dug the country out of the hole it was in. last year saw the fastest job creation since the late 1990s. for the first time over this period of time wages are beginning to increase. i would just say relative to what governor romney said in 2012, he said if he were elected president by the end of his term unemployment would get

down to 6%. it's now at 5.6% and falling. so we're finally in a position because of the policies this president put in place to move from the recovery to making sure that the economy works for everyone and not just a few folks at the top. >> and yet david let me show you the graph from the u.s. census bureau that seems to defy what you're saying. here is the poverty rate for the past 50 years. you can see it goes up and down. however, since the president was elected in 2008 it has just gone up. now, 45.3 million people are living in poverty and that is more than any time in our recent history. so while you can say the trend is looking good can't you also say what mitt romney is claiming the president's policies certainly have not helped lift people out of poverty yet? >> alisyn i think any who understands the hole this country was in and the work we've done to get it out. let's just flip it around.

when you have people making minimum wage in this country and that wage has not gone up for years and you have republicans in congress who are saying that they would never support a minimum wage, aillisyn, that would lift 4 million people out of poverty overnight and have a ripple effect throughout the economy. it's insufficient to simply every four years or periodically to come back and express concern for poverty. what this president has focused on is opportunity for everyone which means increasing the min multiple wage which means making sure if you want to get a new skill, you can go back to community college, which means if you're a two-earner family, you get a little bit more money in your pocket rather than simply fighting tooth and nail to protect loopholes in the corporate tax code and trust fund loopholes which is one some of our friends on the other side would rather focus on. >> let's get back to the other side tax hikes on the wealthy.

the republicans always said that is a non-starter for them. is this plan an exercise in futility? >> no. just the opposite. the state of the union is an opportunity for the president to lay out his vision and put for ward his proposals. the republicans in charge of congress will have an opportunity to put forward their proposals. as i said at the beginning, many of the ideas we're presenting actually come from them. we hope people of good will will sit together and focus on economic growth. this is the beginning of a process and hope that it's fruitful. >> david, we have breaking news out of yemen and understand from our correspondents on the ground there's been an attempted coup at the presidential palace. can you tell us anything about that and if any u.s. personnel are in danger. >> alisyn i don't have anything to add to that. i'm sure throughout the course of the day, you'll have some of my colleagues prepared to respond to that.

david, thanks for the information on the president's plan. nice to see you. >> thanks alisyn. >> we will have the gop reaction to the president's expected proposal this hour when joined by the republican congresswoman diane black. israel has busted the first known isis terrorist cell inside its borders. seven people arrested. the suspects confessed to belonging to the extremist group. the men were caught just before executing an attack and practicing on animals to learn how to be head humans. the nsa reportedly had knowledge of north korea's cyber hacking capabilities prior to the massive breach at sony pictures according to the "new york times," the nsa had already penetrate ed penetrated the computer network back in 2010. and raising questions what the nsa knew and why sony was not

warned and the major reason why the nsa accuses north korea being behind that hack. despite what some thought was a career ending injury. lindsey vonn made history with a 2015 world cup victory finishing in a super-g event in italy. her boyfriend, tiger woods, surprised her at the finish line. the previous record of 62 wins belonged to an austrian skier and it stood for 35 years. what a comeback! >> talk about historic. >> wow! >> it had stood for 35 years. imagine that a record that had previously not been beat for that long. amazing. >> and done by somebody who has blown out her knee more than once. >> we've had painful knees, we unite with you, lindsey vonn. well done. >> you're like never the same and she comes back and good or better than before. that's a hero. with threats of terrorism rising across europe moderate

muslim leaders are speaking out. are there enough muslim voices denouncing extremism? we'll dig deeper next. i've been called a control freak... i like to think of myself as more of a control... enthusiast. mmm, a perfect 177-degrees. and that's why this road warrior rents from national. i can bypass the counter and go straight to my car. and i don't have to talk to any humans, unless i want to. and i don't. and national lets me choose any car in the aisle. control. it's so, what's the word?... sexy. go national. go like a pro.

hello... i'm an idaho potato farmer and our big idaho potato truck is still missing. so my buddy here is going to help me find it. here we go. woo who, woah, woah, woah. it's out there somewhere spreading the word about americas favorite potatoes: heart healthy idaho potatoes and the american heart association's go red for women campaign. if you see it i hope you'll let us know. always look for the grown in idaho seal.

welcome back. isis al qaeda, boco haram. what do they all share in common? they all claim to be act ging on islam. that leads to fear by people and according to officials you're not to mention islam. and two groups have both strongly condemned terrorism and said that is not what islam is about. do muslims even need to condemn these acts at all? is that fair? let's discuss. we have journalist and professor

at columbia university and mr. dean abu dahl la friend and contributor of the show for "the dalily bothseast." this is in the air and come to you muslims and say look what your brothers and sisters are doing. is that fair? >> i don't think it's fair or productive. the real conversation we should be having is why do we continue to have this interrogation of the nature of all muslims? we have seen others condemn this if you will in its own way s as a hypocrisy. the real conversation we should be having is why do these things happen? what leads to this? what about the cycle of violence the fact two of the brothers behind the "charlie hebdo" attacks in 2004 said what motivated them to wage jihad, if you will the fact they saw the

abu ghraib torture photos half a million people died in iraq. muslims in france are alienated, discriminated against in education, public life. i think it's important to note extremism thrives on extremism. we don't see these same calls when there are christian extremist s who extremists who bomb abortion clinics. >> you don't make all christians to explain the acts of a few. what do you say to people like bill maher, when there's this many bad apples in the bunch maybe the whole orchard is rotten. that leads to the sentiment something must be rotten with islam. >> it's fighting perception harder than the facts going on. many articles in "the daily beast" beast" talk about statistics and only 2% of all terrorist attacks have been perpetrated by islamic terrorists 2%. 37 americans have been killed by

terrorism on islamic nature meanwhile 33 million people killed by gun violence in this country we're quiet about it. you see image after image. boca boca boca boca and the kouachi brothers. and we do not have to condemn terrorism. there is a split in our community, do you condemn it or not. i did a documentary where we went to the south and met people. and the same issue from people why don't we hear you condemning terrorism more. that was a wake-up call for me. >> you believe now you do need to. to. >> there's a counter-balance here people should read about the numbers, when you factor in who's trying to kill americans, terrorists in the name of islam jumped to the top of the list. when you say, let's talk about why it's happening no matter how

subtle you put it sounds like you're justifying the actions of the terrorists here's why they're trying to kill you. >> people don't want to hear that have conversations about many alienated youth, how do we prevent the attack? there are way s tos to do it versus what they're outlining they're in a clash with western secular values. that's not what it's about. it's about revvenge in the eyes of those who do this. and let's have a more honest conversation just to answer your question even though you put it to dean. there's an element of racism or bigotry we talk about what bill maher says. this reflects on something that dean outlined this is driven by the fact the media not just the news media for better or worse since 9/11 has adopted this bush

doctrine painting muslims as inherently evil and happens in news and entertainment. >> people are speaking out against it and imams speaking out against it. we in the media need to give the impression people are speaking out against it. there were 120 muslim scholars who wrote a letter to bag dad ty dadty -- baghdadi to stop it. and here is a letter that gets a little obscene. if due not like freedom in heaven's name pack your bags and leave. be honest with yourself and do not go and kill innocent journalists. and if you do not like it here because humor rists you do not like make a newspaper, may i then say you can blank off. >> it's part of the media. i'm not critical part of it.

sensational sells, guess ratings. how often will you have muslims on with this kind of denounciation it's not part of our faith. that's not part of the conversation maybe five minutes? >> that's the point. it's not productive for two reasons, one you have the optic of perception and how you move the needle and what americans unnishated think about the faith. youtube, as far as i know you're not controlling any terrorists. the state sponsored terrorists where these countries are, nose leaders how they oppressor their people. not about the united states oppressing muslims, what do those heads of state do? where are the allies and heads of state and those individuals, where's that piece? >> one of those circulating sunday in the big march, a french guy who had written a sign saying i am marching in solidarity condemning the

attacks but i am aware of the hip hypocrisy and condemning islamic extremism the term that the white house is not using i think for the sake of countering the optics. too does it help? ? >> i don't know necessarily it helps, trying to counter it trying to counter a decade in however many years equating terrorism with islam solely. >> if you use islamic terrorism it's helping isis and al qaeda recruit someone who might be disenfranchised and aliennated. this is a strain of islam. i want to be part of that and there is mainstream terrorists who will kill me as well as you. standing up is one thing, they're killing, slaughtering muslim women and children. i wish that would get more coverage.

>> when this is framed as a war between islam and the west as it has since 9/11 it's problematic because not only are more muslims victims more muslim muslims are fighting it on a daily basis. the same day we saw those attacks outside a police academy 34 people were killed. you don't necessarily see sol solidarity against this. this is also a war on islam. >> we will be talking about that tonight with both of you, having that conversation. dean thanks for coming in. we have been having this a lot on "new day." you can tweet us on "new day" and facebook and we look forward to the conversation at 9:00 p.m. >> we're talking about how we will keep covering this and take a look at the battle against terrorism, two primetime specials at 9:00 our brother,

jake tapper will show you what goes on inside the terrorist attacks and at 9:30 alisyn and i will bring you the war with islam. more importantly, how can we stop it. we're watching tax cuts to lift the middle class. tax hikes on wealthy americans. that's president obama's plan. how will republicans respond? we'll talk to the gop member of the house budget committee next. already 55 companies are investing over $98 million dollars and creating over 2100 jobs. from long island to all across upstate new york, more businesses are coming to new york. they are paying no property taxes no corporate taxes no sales taxes. and with over 300 locations, and 3.7 million square feet available, there's a place that's right for your business. see if startup-ny can work for you. go to startup.ny.gov. meet the world's newest energy superpower.

(vo) symmetrical all-wheel drive plus 36 mpg. i gotta break more toys. (vo) introducing the all-new subaru legacy. it's not just a sedan. it's a subaru.

>> so here's the big headline in politics. the president is set to announce sweeping tax proposals to put hikes on banks and financial institutions and give new tax across to the middle class in return. many republicans are saying no way. congresswoman diane black is on the republican committee. she joins us now. thank you for joining us on "new day." one step sideways. when i say congresswoman diane black, i get angry letters.

it's congress person representative member. not you. you want to be called congresswoman. why? >> thanks. we get that same thing in our office. it is a title, just as a young woman goes to high school or college, we don't call her a fresh woman, freshman. i'm a congresswoman and that's how it's written in the constitution. i'm a congresswoman. >> all right. that's for those who e-mailed me. two free years of community college but credit for any public college. $500 tax credit for working married couples. increase the top childcare credit to $3,000. that's what he says he can pay for if you do these other things. your party doesn't like it because? >> i'd like to have the president come with us and stand beside us on true tax reform. we have a very complicated tax code not been reformed since 1986.

as a member of the ways and means committee we have worked about three years looking at the tax code. we need something fairer flatter and simpler. we know if we were to do a comprehensive tax reform we would be helping everyone and helping the economy grow for everyone. a rising tide lifts all boats. that's what we want to do. >> it comes down to methodology, not what the goal is. everybody wants to help the middle class. the president says here's how he will do it. $320 billion tax hike over 10 years. who gets hit? people couples making over 500 grand. capital gains tax, another one, raising it to 28. new feeingss for big banks. let's go in reverse order. big banks, congresswoman, they have been the beneficiaries of the largest welfare program in world history the way the american taxpayer bailed them

out. what's wrong with a fee on them when they're making so much money? >> chris, if you were to look at our tax reform draft we did and put out under chairman kemp you would see we addressed the issue of the warnings sbanks there. we're not so off on that. it is by comprehensive reform by reforming the entire code. you can't just pump at it. what's been done since 1986. you need to do comprehensive tax reform of both corporate and individual. >> when you want to do more why is some seen as such a problem. isn't it better than none? >> if you really want to do true tax reform you have to look at every element of that. on what you may do on one side will give us an opportunity to introduce a tax on the other side. by just pumping at one, you're just taking a very complicated tax code and you're making it more complicated by doing that. we really need to do a true

comprehensive tax reform. we've already begun and done a lot of the work. the president said he was willing to work with us on this and now he comes out with this proposal by the way he has gotten a number of taxes through the obamacare and reforms we did with him several years ago on our fiscal cliff. now, he's come back again. let me just also say this. we have a spending problem also in the federal government. the collection of revenue this last year 2014 was 3$3 trillion the largest ever in the history of this country. why can we not take a look at what we're spending and the way we're spending it instead of saying once again, we need more money. that's what we keep on hearing from this president. >> fair criticism from the other side of your side that you're just trying to protect the rich you want to protect the bank you don't want them to take any of the hits those are your people. >> is that fair? >> that is very very unfair. you look again at our tax reform

you will see we are very cognizant the middle income is where we really need to help people. they are not able to take advantage that is in our complicated tax code. by cleaning up the code we help everyone and in particular we help the middle and lower income folks in the tax reform. families would get $1800 additional in their pocket if we do the tax reform we're proposing. let's do it for everyone. >> why not. you are in congress and in control with your party right now. we look forward to seeing what you get done with the mantle of power. congresswoman diane black. >> thank you. heavily armed guards on the ground in brussels hunting for sleeper cells. five belgian nationals already taken into custody and officials meet to talk about terrorism. the first known isis cell

operation inside israel has been taken into custody. they were reportedly nabbed just before executing an attack. back here fbi and secret service investigating numerous gunshots near vice president biden's home in delaware. they say it was surrounding the vice president's home. two scares in the air. a jetblue flight had to abort its takeoff after another plane crossed the runway and the landing gear of another delta flight heading to japan forcing that flight to go back to atlanta after burning off fuel. protests against racism and police violence are expected to mark today's martin luther king, jr. celebrations and keeping a look at the wreath laying at the washington memorial in washington d.c. we always update those five things. be sure to visit cnn.com for the

latest. belgian ramping up security in the case of anti-semitic violence and this coming as innocent muslims also under attack. where is all this heading? right strip and pow, it opens your nose up to 38% more. so you can breathe and do the one thing you want to do sleep. add breathe right to your cold medicine shut your mouth and sleep right. breathe right. and look for the calming scent of new breathe right lavender in the sleep aisle.

good to have you back with us on "new day." in the wake of securityattacks, security

has been stepped up at schools in belgian. there's also a concern about an anti-muslim backlash in europe. here the chairman of the initiative the international project that works to reconnect the muslim world. a pleasure to have you here. i was thinking it must be challenging the work you set out to do to bridge the west and the muslims. i will read your words. it gets harder and harder to convince my non-muslim friends this has nothing to do with muslim and everything to do with a terrorist agenda. it gets harder and harder why? >> the important thing is to remember the historian carr said all acts of terrorism defined as militancy against

innocents, non-combatant civilians is always about politics the agenda everybody has committed it et cetera. the key thing to remember it's about a political agenda. even the chicago professor who has studied every incident of suicide bombing has said it is always about the political agenda. therefore to solve these problems we're working on the initiative we have to recognize the underlying political issues and address them otherwise we will never address this issue. >> part of it is perception we were discussing a moment ago, the perception of islam in america and europe. let's talk about america because this is where we are. what do you say to people who come to you and say, mom, help me understand. it seems there is this intrinsic

evil wrapped up that we know is not the teaching of islam. what do you tell them to understand that and separate it from the politics? >> we have to relate because politics will always utilize whatever motivates people. religion is a powerful motivator. today, we're celebrating martin luther king, jr.'s day. he expressed the frustration of the black people in terms of getting their rights. this is an issue that evolves of rights in the muslim world. you cannot separate this from what's happening in syria and iraq jihadists trained apparently in yemen and al qaeda and the arab peninsula. you cannot separate what is happening there from what is happening in the middle east for instance. different groups' desire to aspire to get their fair share of the political power pie and economic pie.

this is why here what we did in america was the civil rights movements which gave the african-american people their fair share. if you look at what's happening in the region between sunni and shiite for example are between different groups in egypt or whatever it's always an issue about having their fair share of the political pie. >> you can understand so many of us don't have a good understanding of the historical battles between the groups and the religious factions et cetera. what it does translate to when you see images on the screen is fear in many people. we've seen thing, heard of islamophobia. fear is such a visceral reaction in people not usually knowledge-based, usually coming from emotion. how do we combat that? >> we have to have a multiple multi national multi religious cooperation. pope francis has responded to

the ex-president for a strong coalition and hoping for a strong partnership to address the leaders of the different faith communities can work to make this happen. i'm hopeful for example a joint jewish-muslim partnership can develop with the participation of christian leadership to re-brand islam in the west and judaism in the western world which lies at the root of not every conflict but a big component, big chunk of the conflict. there are things that need to be done right now at a multi national level, a very high level, globalized level to cooperate. if you look at terrorism, whether it's what happened in paris, whether it's the taliban killing 152 innocent school children in pakistan it's always about >> always a delight to have you here with us.

a very thoughtful conversation and hope we can have you again at "new day." everyone stop what you're doing for one second to look at this incredible picture. this driver's pickup truck was squashed between two semis. the driver is trapped inside but he lives to tell the story. if you don't believe us there he is. he's right there on our screen. he'll explain how he got out next. fofofofofofofofofofofofofofofofor fastidious librarian emily skinner, each day was fueled by thorough preparation for events to come. well somewhere along the way emily went right on living. but you see, with the help of her raymond james financial ad she had planned for every eventuality. ...which meant she continued to have the means to live on... ...even at the ripe old age of 187. life well planned. see what a raymond james advisor can do for you.

idaho. it was a very foggy morning when suddenly you saw a truck jackknifed on the highway in front of you. then what happened? >> man, i think i just had to gasp. when you're going downhill -- as soon as he jackknifed i shifted down and pushed my brakes. being on black ice, there's no chance. what can you do. i tried to steer to the right side of the road and ended up hitting the trailer at the back corner and smashed my front end in. when i hit it shut my pickup off. i was pretty much helpless there. as soon as that came i looked out my passenger window on my right side and saw semi lights coming towards me. >> when you saw those semi lights coming towards you, did you say a prayer? are you man of faith? are you man of faith now? what did you do? i always wonder about that. when you see this flash before your eyes what is your thought? >> i mean the first thing is hopefully you're okay and then you look over and you see the

lights. i turned right back and closed my eyes and said a prayer that i'd be safe. i do believe. i'm very firm in that held onto the wheel and tucked my head and kept praying the whole time. >> caleb -- >> after he hit, i hoped that it would be over with soon. >> okay leb, first of all, tell us what kind of truck it is and what happened that compressed it like that? what were you able to figure out what was happening to the truck to accordion it like that? >> okay. it's a chevy silverado, an extended cab, which is actually important. >> yep. >> a 1500. >> so when i hit it sent me broadside facing my passenger side towards oncoming traffic. when the second truck hit my back end, it spun my bed underneath the first trailer that i hit and continued to swing my nose around i guess put my nose underneath the second trailer.

as that trailer came around it kind of pushed me down further into that small v where you can actually see both of the trailers within arm's reach on both sides. if there would have been even a foot foot-if they would have pushed me more of a foot it probably would have crushed me. >> caleb, how long were you trapped in that spot? >> before i was able to get out j it was only about a half hour which was good. time does not fly when you're in situations like that. it was very slow waiting to get out. >> i know first responders when they come on a scene like that if we pull this apart, is the guy going to come apart. the fact you came out of it did you walk out of there under your own power? >> yes. very much so. >> my word. >> now the million zillion dollar question why did you make it out of there, caleb? you know that that's not what's supposed to happen. so who do you thank? what do you think and what do

you think it means for you and what your life is about? >> i thank my heavenly father. i don't have the answers. if i had the answers i probably wouldn't be doing what i'm doing now. when things like that happen and what i've come to realize it is a miracle and i need to take it into my life and remember it and now i need to kind of figure out who i need to be in this life and what things i need to accomplish because how many people don't get a second chance at escaping a situation like that? >> well we know you -- >> i guess it's time for me to figure that out. >> we can imagine you're in the process of that. we know you have a pregnant wife. >> my goodness. >> a 2-year-old child. >> yeah. >> they're so happy that you are in one piece. >> i bet they're each hanging on to your leg right now not letting you go. >> yes. >> safe to say daddy is getting another truck, with the extended cab. >> i hope so. >> yeah. we'll see how that goes.

>> we're so happy you're on and you're in one piece. thanks so much for joining us on "new day." >> let's be fair caleb is the good stuff. we could end it right there and we will keep up with him to see how he does. has to get another truck and a lot of stuff coming his way. the physical is the only part of that. we have a lot of good stuff. pizza is the good stuff by definition. you see those notes? >> yeah. >> why you are there will not only feed your face but feed your soul coming up. will celebrate almost anything? unh-uh. number 44... whoooo! forty-four, that's me! get some cold cuts... get some cold cuts... get some cold cuts! whooo! gimme some! geico. fifteen minutes could save you fifteen percent or more on car insurance. whoo! forty-four ladies, that's me! whoo...gonna get some cold cuts today!

you ready for this? >> pizza pizza, pizza. >> this defines the good stuff. seven years ago, this man opened up a pizza store on wall street. he he said no more wall street for me. he grabs a stack of post-its and puts one up on the wall to remind himself. nine months later the word spread the store wall now covered in notes. take a listen. in this guy wrote on a paper plate. god bless you. because of you i ate off this plate. it is the only thing i ate all day. the slice is a buck and you pay whatever you want and excess
