11:00 am
denmark is not known for a country to have a lot of guns, and we also now know the victim who was killed was a 40-year-old man, but he's not been identified. three police officers were wounded in the shooting. the attack took place in cope haguen in an event organized by the vilkes committee, and he was at the event. the funmen tried to shoot their way into the building and police say they believe it's an isolated attack. he was a swedish artist attacked years ago after drawing the prophet mohammed with threats made on his life. today's discussion at this freedom of speech forum was titled art, blasphemy, and freedom of expression. nick robertson is joining me and we understand that he had his own personal body guards and
11:01 am
returned fire when these alleged gunman opened fire outside the building. what more do you know? >> you know that's right, so 30 shots fired at this gathering of about 50 people shots fired from outside the building two men involved not clear if both were shooting or one was the get away vehicle driver. that vehicle, of course now has been found by the police, but the three policemen injured, we're told were a source who is close to this that he was taken away to a safe area in the basement of the building but at the same time we now know that body guards also came out were shooting at the men as they made their get away. the police now have a massive man hunt on in copenhagen in the town surrounding to catch the then. they believe it's nothing but an isolated incident. the concern is that the men are armed and it's not clear what they plan to do next if cornered or when the police are sort of on the verge of
11:02 am
capturing them. so this is a very big concern in koep haguen right now. >> is it clear what the subway system is like? if they were believed to have abandon the vehicle not far from two subway stops, is this a very expanseive rail system or relatively small? does that help them as they try to you know distinguish the parameters in which to conduct the search? >> reporter: you know the rail network is a pretty comprehensive rail network. one of the stops, and i've been there inhaguen one is fields and the other is the intelligence internal intelligence headquarters for denmark, and so you know if they get in the wrong line they could end up in the very wrong place. it's a modern system and with modern systems, this is something that would be likely monitored by cameras. this gives the police additional
11:03 am
information and leads, if that's the route that they finally go but the indications are that that's an avenue open for them. >> okay. and then the counterterrorism efforts that take place there in denmark, clearly, the country is savvy. you reported other guests talk about this rehabilitation so to speak, a program involving people who may leave, find themselves in the web of extremist activity but is there, you know great confidence in the way in which they conduct investigations of the caliber? >> well if these perpetrators prove to be men who have been through this rehabilitation program, then that's going to shake confidence in the system. until now, there's been nothing that's made public to give the public of denmark cause for concern that it's not working. however, having spoken to people
11:04 am
who know radicals inside denmark, who are familiar with the way isis and these other groups al qaeda operate, and, again, having looked at what happened with the "charlie hebdo" attackers, they had a profile, police watched them played down the profile, blended in and the police stopped watching them. there is a real concern by people you know people who understand the thinking of isis and al qaeda and how it tells people to hide in plain sight. you know these men may come back may go through the program, and pretend they are no longer associated with terrorism, yet they fully intend to carry something out. we're in the early stage stages but it's shaken the confidence of the people and they were not expecting this. >> nic robertson, thank you for joining us from london. continuing the conversation now with lieutenant colonel james reese. certainly, nic touched on this.
11:05 am
if indeed alleged gunmen abandon the vehicle, go to the subway system, how helpful will all of these cameras be? >> well good afternoon. they will be helpful. a lot of the cctb cameras are lined up and connected to allowing law enforcement now to continue to track these guys. however, if they dumped into the subway station, that might have been part of the get away again, where they could drop off. they have to go back right now, review a lot of series of cctb to see if they can pinpoint where the guys got on the train and jumped off. >> sounds as though -- well i guess it was unclear. we talked to copehagen television reporter said after the shooting approached a vehicle, pulled the driver out, sounds like there was a carjacking took the vehicle before dumping it. unclear whether they walked to the theater where this you
11:06 am
know freedom of speech forum was taking place or whether they were in another vehicle. this city is very sophisticated. there are likely cameras all throughout the city. is there heavily reliance on that or will investigators also be trying to you know try to get a handle of cell phone correspondents taking place at the time. how will they go about backtrack and back time? >> well you know hours ago it was said there's two parallel efforts going on. the law enforcement aspect making sure everything is safe and, you know sealed off the crime scene. the second piece is the intelligence analyst piece that are going through all the different pieces of intelligence to help them build a picture to allow that to get to the police and law enforcement to start the man hunting inside. >> and then what about, you know the general public? i mean people clearly, they have to be very frightened about this and if they -- this these
11:07 am
alleged suspects are on foot on a subway and if they have the arms we heard described in the press conference, machine guns pistols, that would be very difficult to hide unless they also had bags which nobody has reported on yet. >> yeah you're right. i mean one of the things we have to watch here closely is if they you know, my assumption is they probably have some type of camera work they've been able to put a still out and get a shot of what these terrorists were like and who they were and i'm surprised, though they have not put that out publicly. now, that could be it is because they are hot on the trail, and they don't want to give any of their accomplices ideas that they do identify these pieces so again, we'll see what happens here in the next couple hours, but i guarantee you law enforcement and intelligence agencies are all over this. >> and what do you envision when you hear oh these authorities used you know the words, act
11:08 am
of terror? it can be argued any crime like this where violence is unleashed on the public in public spaces that those are acts of terror. what comes to mind for you when you hear those words used in this case? >> well for me i believe we have to be very careful, and unfortunately, these events become emotional and people start throwing out words like terrorism in these pieces where is it criminality or is this truly terrorism where it's aligned with a type of ideology or aspect like isis or al qaeda per se. i mean we see this almost every day here in the u.s. where there's criminality. it is terrorism because it, you know, they try to make an effect against the pop ppopulous but it becomes emotional, wait and see, and pull back a little bit. >> colonel james reese, thank you for the input. >> thank you.
11:09 am
>> the violence has not stopped, and now ukraine's president is threatening to impose martishall law if separatists do not put down their arms. 3rd and 3. 58 seconds on the clock, what am i thinking about? foreign markets. asian debt that recognizes the shift in the global economy. you know, the kind that capitalizes on diversity across the credit spectrum and gets exposure to frontier and emerging markets. if you convert 4-quarter p/e of the s&p 500 its yield is doing a lot better... if you've had to become your own investment expert, maybe it's time for bny mellon a different kind of wealth manager ...and black swans are unpredictable.

11:11 am
11:12 am
we're three hours away from the deadline of the planned cease fire in ukraine. they warn separatists do not adhere to a planned cease fire and he'll impose marshall law in the country. shelling could be heard in at least two cities and today, rioters quoted a military spokesman saying seven ukrainian servicemen were killed in the last 24 hours. what are the prospects of peace in ukraine? bill richardson former u.s.
11:13 am
ambassador to the united nations, joining us now from chicago. thank you for joining us. >> thank you. >> critics don't believe vad putinments a ceasefire, and do you have faith in the ceasefire three hours away? >> looks to be fulling apart, but i think the issue is putin is already the russians violating the spirit of the agreement. there is supposed to be a ceasefire, a line of demarcation, but it's obvious the weapons are providing weapons and ammunition. they are not on the ground themselves but it's a proxy war. so i'm very dubious. what i hope this will result in is britain, france and germany, the key players, recognizing that russia's not serious, so possibly they join the u.s. and hopefully the u.s. will impose new economic sanctions and
11:14 am
possibly provide defensive equipment to ukraine, but who knows. >> you know britain, france, particularly france and germany said they really don't want a military solution here which says they would not be interested in the latter at all. >> well that's right. the danger here is that diplomacy, i think that is the best solution but when germany, the key player -- >> mr. ambassador sorry to interrupt you, real quick, though, i have to take us to eastern ukraine where nick peyton walsh is there's shell going on in the live shots for us just with three hours to go before this ceasefire, so nick bring us up to date on what's happening there. >> reporter: as you mentioned, there's shelling here in central donetsk. it's relatively consistent as you expect but a quiet city and there's real fear the next hours
11:15 am
will not bring silence to the weapons. we're expected to hear from ukraine in the hours ahead from that particular statement, but the major concern is of course city of the town to the northeast of where i'm standing. that is certainly an issue that has many people concerned and confused. the separatists said it was not referred to in the agreement, and it's their territory, they think, because they believe it's encircled. there's hundreds if not thousands of ukraineian troops inside and it's heavily shelled, and i'm sure kiev considers it theirs under that deal as well. the fallout on that dispute could derail the ceasefire in its entirety and there's a constant backdrop of selling here in the areas, and other populated areas too, the concern being that the civilian casualties called by shellings on both sides, i point out, causing a level of fraught
11:16 am
emotion on both sides making the idea of a sustained ceasefire hard to implement or certainly not sustained. a lot of problematics in the hours ahead. he's spoke to the french and german counterparts, but the question is he's spoken to president obama in the last hour or two as well. has diplomacy in sequenced cautious flawed as it was, quiet the guns in two and a half hours from now? >> okay nick paton walsh, in a potentially dangerous and precarious situation there. thank you for the report. returning now to ambassador richardson. sorry to interrupt you, but as you can see, you know with shelling going on nick paton walsh in the cross hairs, we have to take advantage of the narrow window of opportunity. you heard him talk about a backdrop of further shelling and you have to wonder is this shelling just you know an
11:17 am
effort to further intimidate with just hours to go before this cease fire, or does that shelling send a different message there will be no cease fire? what's the best guess? >> well the best guess is that there is a cease fire in three or four hours, and this is the russians and separatists making a last run before a cease fire comes in. that's the good news. the problem, though is that the worry is that all right, if the cease fire collapses, what happens to help the ukrainians? i think it's very important that the leaders in germany and france and britain and us that we come up with a strategy that involves diplomacy and some defensive equipment so that the ukrainians can find ways to defend themselves in what we're talking about, this air-to-ground missiles. secondly additional sanctions. the problem is that putin
11:18 am
doesn't seemed to be moved by additional sanctions. maybe the defensive equipment will do the trick. i have my doubts. the ukraineian economy is in bad shape. joblessness, factories are falling apart. it's a very tense period and we have to stand behind the ukrainians but it makes sense to do it with the allies with the europeans, and us but i'd say the odds are that this cease you know fire is very fragile, but the hope is that once these very vital railway hub contested, if there's something definitive there, that that brings some kind of a pause and a ceasefire so that the diplomacy can work. >> mr. ambassador talking about the defensive equipment, we know there have been some expressions that the u.s. might want to provide some weaponry but, of course then there's the issue of training. you know you can't just have these, you know these, you
11:19 am
know ground to air missiles that are provided to ukraine without the wherewithal on how to use it. would it engage u.s. military assets to be on the ground to help train, wouldn't it? >> that's right. you're talking about radars. you're talking about not just air-to-ground missiles but possibly drone equipment, but, yes, training and the issue is will russia use this american military involvement as justification to take more action? the second issue is can the ukrainian military handle this equipment? maintain equipment we provide them. you know they are outgunned. so the options are not very good to make the situation better. the best option is diplomacy, the europeans and u.s. sticking together.
11:20 am
i think we are more forward than wanting to do military assistance some kind of defensive equipment, but, you know when germany and france don't want to do it and they are worried about natural gas from russia and putin, you know the options are not that good to help ukraine. >> yeah. it's hard to determine what this end game or what the next hurdle will be so to speak. bill richardson former u.s. ambassador to the u.n. thank you so much. >> thank you. >> we'll be right back.
11:21 am

11:23 am
11:24 am
all right, following breaking news on the attack at a freedom of speech panel in denmark, police are now investigating it as a terror act, and the prime minister calls it a terror act. a massive man hunt is underway after police say the suspect's voexlkswagen was found abandon between two subway stops, and the suspects are believed to be heavily armed carrying machine guns, pistols, and dressed in dark clothing. denmark is not known for a country where people arm themselves. we also now know the victim who was killed was a 40 -year-old man, but he's not yet been identified, and three police officers were wounded in the shooting. the attack took place in copenhagen in on event organized by the lars vilkes committee, a
11:25 am
satire cartoonist who depicted the profit mohammed and many threats on his life have happened over the years. the gunmen tried to shoot their way into the building as a whole. the police believe that this is an isolated incident. he is swedish, and he has been you know his life has been threatened many times. he actually had body guards with him at the event who police say returned fire when the alleged gunmen opened fire outside that discussion. it was titled art, blasphemy, and freedom of expression. all right, here now back in the u.s. another weekend and another big concern about some severe weather on the way, up to 50 million people are in the path of yet another massive winter storm this time. blizzard warning in effect from
11:26 am
long island to maine, and in the cross hairs? boston, already hit hard by excessive storms in recent weeks, and joining me from atlanta, and we're on the north shore of massachusetts. will going to you first, is the governor particularly concerned about more snow and storm surges on the way? >> reporter: people absolutely are concerned, fred. this is a tourist area. we're in the town of rockport on cape ann, 7,000 people live here in the offseason. some of the businesses are open and taking advantage while they can of people actually being able to get out on the roads. you see a blizzard sale here. this is a busy weekend in rockport because it's a holiday weekend. a lot of the bed and breakfasts are full up with people and there's residents out and about including george and nikki who said you wanted to get out while you could because you got a robo call a short time ago. what did it say?
11:27 am
>> police called residents to say sunday 5:00 in the morning until monday 5:00 p.m. no traffic, no parking, and no driving on the roads. >> you're ready to hunker down. are you stocked up? >> we have to. we went shopping as well today. >> reporter: we were at the store today, and we saw people stocking up preparing for the storm, and no driving on the roads from sunday morning until monday which means if you're here you're going to stay here. >> oh my goodness. appreciate that will. let's check in with ivan. folks are basing. they have warnings. what's coming? >> absolutely. in fact, this time tomorrow, you see will there in cape ann, rockport you will not be able to stand up with the assistance if you're going to be outside. that's the kind of wind we're talking about. that will differentiate this storm from the last huge storms. this will be remembered for the wind not so much the snow. not that it's not going to snow, it will.
11:28 am
the storm is already getting going here, but we're talking about winds producing coastal flooding and potential of significant power outages across the entire area in orange from long island coastal connecticut, rhode island headed into massachusetts, and, of course parts of southeastern new hampshire and into maine as well. what are we talking about? 50 to 60 miles per hour winds, potential for hurricane force wind gusts, nantucket, thinking of you, the winds can be howling there. here's the coastal flood warnings from portland and there's cape ann, south here i think rockport just to the north there gets it a little bit stronger as far as the potential for coastal flooding because it's on the north side with the north winds. as far as snow potential, 8 to 10 inches and up to maine, that's where the block buster snowstorm totals will be as far as accumulation but the rest of us are talking about the wind and look at this. by monday morning, long gone the storm is gone by monday but
11:29 am
we're still howling the winds, and that means with the arctic air mass of appeal it's 20 to 30 below 0, a ground blizzard because snow that would have fallen will be blowing around. here we go. >> that's tough stuff. thank you, ivan appreciate it. will ripley and more from the news room after this. >> which paper do you want? the golds look like a typical family. look closer. >> look at me. look at this paper. >> this 6-year-old eden cannot walk talk, or do most what a girl her age should be doing. she has a neurological disorder a rare genetic disorder common in eastern european jewish dissent. development stopped at 18 months. she'll be behind by age 12 and
11:30 am
probably not live beyond early adulthood. >> every dream we had for our daughter was ended with one call. they thought they were screened for genetic diseases before they were married. i was tested for eight diseases and mandy's doctor was tested for six diseases. the couple did not want other families to suffer the same fate. they started an online education screening program for genetic diseases. common among jews, and at home screening kits are mailed out and a counselor delivers results over the phone. >> parents should know they should be screened for genetic diseases before they get pregnant. we provide information on how to have healthy children of their own. >> reporter: just like the golds who added another daughter to their family. >> eden is here for a purpose. she saves lives every day.

11:33 am
11:34 am
denmark in a freedom of speech panel, and look at this photo that authorities copenhagen police are now revealing, they are asking the public on twitter, even, if anyone has information on this individual who they say is connected to the terrorist attack today. now a massive man hunt is underway after police say the suspect, maybe at least two, their get away vehicle was a vo volkswagen found abandon
11:35 am
between two subway stops not far from the location of the shooting. you see the bullet riddled windows there. witnesses say upwards of 30 shots fired. police say from the exterior the gunmen did not make their way inside the building shot this location from the exterior but there was return fire from the body guards of larvs, spore soring the event, a satt trkssatirist. his body guards returned fire according to the police today, and then at least two suspects got away in the volkswagen i spoke of, and they found it abandon near two subway stops, so now, of course police will be likely going through all kinds of video surveillance
11:36 am
cameras, images from around the subway and around the area looking for these suspects. last hour i also spoke with sandberg a reporter in tv 2 for koepcopenhagen and attended the police briefing. >> caller: they started shooting outside into the building where this meeting was taking place, and because of the swedish -- there, police there also started to fire back, and those men who came dressed in dark clothes, they ran away from the place and stole a car, grabbed a man from the car and drove away. the police is now looking for the men. they had no idea the attack would be there. this swedish person has been in denmark a lot, and there was no signs that this would happen today. >> investigation ten comets so the search continues for the
11:37 am
alleged gunmen. meantime in light of the terrorist attack in denmark, cnn, we have a timely special about a danish man who embraced radical islam before switching sides and becoming a top level secret agent, mori tin storm says he worked for many different intelligence agencies, british british, danish, and the cia tracking down the world's most dangerous terrorists. cnn senior international correspondent nic robertson reveals the exordinary spy tale double eight inside al qaeda for the ceo at 9:00 p.m. eastern time tonight. we'll be right back. line. in life, it's how you get there that matters most. like when i found out i had a blood clot in my leg. my doctor said that it could travel to my lungs and become an even bigger problem. so he talked to me about xarelto®. >>xarelto® is the first oral prescription blood thinner proven to treat and help prevent dvt and pe that doesn't require regular blood monitoring or
11:38 am
changes to your diet. for a prior dvt i took warfarin, which required routine blood testing and dietary restrictions. not this time. while i was taking xarelto®, i still had to stop racing, but i didn't have to deal with that blood monitoring routine. >>don't stop taking xarelto®, rivaroxaban, unless your doctor tells you to. while taking xarelto®, you may bruise more easily and it may take longer for bleeding to stop. xarelto® may increase your risk of bleeding if you take certain medicines. xarelto® can cause serious bleeding, and in rare cases, may be fatal. get help right away if you develop unexpected bleeding, unusual bruising, or tingling. if you have had spinal anesthesia while on xarelto®, watch for back pain or any nerve or muscle related signs or symptoms. do not take xarelto® if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. tell your doctor before all planned medical or dental procedures. before starting xarelto® tell your doctor about any conditions such as kidney, liver, or bleeding problems. xarelto® is proven to reduce the risk of dvt and pe, with no regular blood monitoring and no known dietary restrictions.
11:39 am
treatment with xarelto® was the right move for me. ask your doctor about xarelto® today.

11:42 am
intelligence officer, and lieutenant colonel james reece and nick burns, professor at the harvard kennedy school former u.s. undersecretary for political affairs. all right. good to see all you gentlemen, appreciate it. >> thank you. >> thank you. >> colonel schafer, to you first, what are the war powers going to do that's different than which is already in place? different than what's already in place? >> from what the president's asked for looking at the language is nothing extord their or different, but formalizing authority he's already been executing. some has to do with budget, using the overseas contingency fund a slush fund the pentagon has. could have used that next year there's 50 billion in there. i think this is a debate point. members of both sides of the congress both parties, my friend jim mcgovern and walter
11:43 am
jones, republican and democrat calling for this. it's long overdue. this puts it in the debate format which is should have been last summer and formalizes the process and stipulates some level of i think, self-restraint regarding the left and right limits of what he wants to do. >> colonel reese, is this a prelude to a new strategy in the wings? >> no fred. i think the president's just trying to get ducks in order here and it's a new type of you know the enemy we're fighting now in isis and kind of gets us moves us past 9/11 and moves us past the old iraq allows him to get what he wants to do his policies in place, but it also you know also gets congress now involved which congress has been asking for for several years. >> and so ambassador hill does this underscore that there's only a military solution here? that diplomacy, you know is out the window, as it pertains to helping to offer better support,
11:44 am
more support to iraq or trying to encourage coalition forces to take a different approach. >> no not at all. but i think this is necessary, and the authorization the president is working under from september 11th 2001. this authorization is important because it hopefully gets the president, the congress and the american people on the same page. it should identify isis as the enemy, but in my view it should leave the military and president flexibility. i wouldn't want to see a resolution that limits the president to one to two years of military operations or that limits the way he conducts ground forces because we should want this resolution to intimidate isis not to reassure it but wrapped around the military effort, obviously, there's diplomacy to isolate isis internationally, dry up its financing, and very important, get the sunni-arab states to be the ground force here. the iraqi army, the pashmir and
11:45 am
syria moderate rebels get together in a coalition so it's a diplomatic strategy as well as military strategy. >> i wonder colonel shaffer, if there's an overall sentiment iraqi forces can't stand alone, and they are making more of a dent more concerted effort or organized effort than iraqi forces isn't there a feeling that no matter what, there's going to have to be this coalition support if not u.s. support? it does not sound like anybody sees that iraqi forces can stand up on their own two feet. i don't know if it's an issue of you know the technology the armor is not there or willness is not there? >> well it's complex. i agree with ambassador burns. it's a two-phased effort. first off, yeah, they can't do it on their own. we know that.
11:46 am
co it's a tribute to their do whatever it takes, if you will. they are putting forward strategy recommendations of bringing together the sunni, egyptians, jordanians and saudis to put together a nato type organization a ground force, if you will to do this and ambassador burns stimulated you need a civil plan to go in. once you retake the territory, you need good governance because lack of governance and sunni tribes who feel they were shortchanged by president marak malaki really stimulated the isis move so we have to do both ground forces take back the terrain, and then bring in some level of civil diplomatic solution that will take a long term path towards fixing and stabilizing the region. >> okay. gentlemen, if i can ask you to shift gears with me denmark, what's taking place, an on going
11:47 am
investigation looking for the alleged gunmen who may be heavily armed, machine guns, pistols, who appeared to have dumped the get away car near a couple subway stations yes, cameras will be a great tool but i wonder to you first, ambassador burns, what's the greatest concern about what's transpiring here and how it's denmark now in the centerpiece of what many call an act of terror? >> certainly looks like an act of terrorism. this attack was reprehenceble, and hopefully the authorities helping will isolate terrorists and apprehend them. the concern here of course is following the january 7th attacks in paris, following the breakup of one ring in brussels. this is a pan european threat a threat in many different european countries that have large muslim populations of terrorist cells. it needs fought by intelligence judicial cooperation, by
11:48 am
