syria where they gained control of the historic city of palmira or iraq where they gained control of ramadi. a significant setback here for isis. now, this is what we know is that the ypg kurdish fighters and along with arab syrian rebel groups making advances with the support of the coalition air strikes and they managed to take control on of more than 40 towns and villages around that area over the past month. and it was just this week. in a few days, they managed to gain control of that border crossing with syria that was under the control of isis, and, yesterday, they announced full control of the town of taliba, a very strategic town. this was the first is isis-controlled town past the turkish border. it was pretty much a life line for isis for smuggling across that border from turkey, whether it was supplies, and also very

significantly foreign fighters they were funneling foreign fighters into isis-held territory into syria and it's about 50 miles from their de facto capital of iraka and now these fighters are in control of that strategic route to rocka. a major setback it seems at this point after isis looked like it was gaining ground in both syria and iraq. lots of questions about why they did not put up a real fight but they did seem to lose that town within two days and pull back into rocka. lots of questions about whether they are planning any sort of counterattack as we have seen isis in the past, a very capable group. >> questions today for the u.s. military chiefs on the next step to fight isis. thank you for. nato condemning russia for building up nuclear arsenal.
