the news deck. the islamic state's realm of terror is snowballing, expanding beyond the middle east and growing its ranks of vicious terrorist by the thousands. that mouthful from the cia director himself john brennan now that isis forces joined forces with boca hardam. a move that expands the islamic state's reach into new territory. boca haram operates mainly in though jeer ya but the group has been launching attacks in nearby countries, and if you count the affiliates isis and both -- they have made their presence known from the africa. >> this phenomenon has ÷c&o a lot of appeal so we see boca haram inside of nigeria, pledging allegiance to isil. different franchise, whether in libya or south asia, other areas in egypt, that are trying to get

on the band wagon of this phenomenon, and so this is a worrisome global movement andphone. >> boca haram killed an estimated 10,000 people last year alone. the group got worldwide attention when it kidnaps hundreds hundreds of school girls almost a year ago now. some escaped about hundreds still missing. both haram has been losing ground lately. hundreds of mercenaries from south africa are playing a key role in the fight in nigeria. the mercenaries using attack helicopters and armored personnel carriers, night vision goingle and other stuff to take back the towns and villages from boca haram. a nigerian government spokesperson says his country is getting help from soldiers in the region as well as other individuals whomever they may be. but the spokesman claims the help is limited to technical training and support.

catherine herridge is live in washington. analysts say it would take years for isis to accept the pledge here. >> that's right. the fact that isis leadership accepted boca haram in days not weeks is another indicator the group in iraq and syria wants to support and reinforce affiliates. a counterterrorism analyst confirm the use of video is more evident isis is taking significant security precautions because the spokesman on the tape there on the left, traveled in close proximate equipment to the isis leader al-baghdadi. as the cia director noted they're the driving force behind the group's bankrupt ideology. >> isil demonstrates a very worrisome development because it has basically been phenomenon that has snow baled and have had

a fair amount of success using qf technology to present their narrative in ways that romanticize what is going on there. >> in interview with voice of america nigeria's president says there's evidence boca haram fighters traveled tie sis training camps. we don't know how sophisticated the relationship is. >> what do you make of the warning that boca haram could launch some sort of cyber attack against the u.s.? >> well, boca haram is really directed more at isis in iraq and syria and the led of the senate intelligence committee told fox news he believes the next frontier for the islamic state may be a cyber attack on the u.s. and it would be naive to think the terror group is not developing the capability. >> to believe that they've got that type of talent to explode a terrorist organization into the threat it is today and that they wouldn't have the capabilities, we know the intent is there. but we have to assume that the

capablessities are there to target the united states infrastructure companies, and government. >> to this point isis has done a lot of nuisance attacks like defacing popular web sites and flash mob attacks on military families as well. >> catherine herridge in washington. let's bring in the former director of the nypb intelligence digs and now part of an intelligence consulting firm. how worried about you about this come-together of boca haram and isis or is it branding. >> it is branding. that's part of it. boca haram wants to take advantage of phenomenal job isis has done to draw volunteers to their cause and it's problematic because both organizations are different from regular terrorist groups. they both control territory and both are very much obsessed with the idea of the caliphate and owning ground in territories that can proliferate that. the idea is that there may be

exchange of weapons, of expertise, of social media skills, and of fighters and make boca haram more powerful. >> you wonder -- i i hate to be such a simpleton -- but delta and northwest merged and became delta and northwest had to take on deltas m as these two merge and they become a bigger isis, there's always the risk of the kind of infighting we have seen over there, where they start killing their own. i wonder if their ideologies are different enough to where that might be an unexpected outcome? >> right, eventually their ideologies are right in line. they both subscribe the would lab by extremist point of view and that's going to make their alliance very strong. and isis has an outpost in libya right across from italy. an outpost in sinai, and now

philippines and indonesia, so they're moving towards the idea of a transnational caliphate. >> there's no good if they can't communicate. you would thick there would be a way for us to get in the middle of that but apparently there isn't. >> it's challenging. the bad guys keep evolving whether it's the way they communicate on/ecátwitter or on youtube and facebook or in the deep web in the dark net. so the role of threatening intelligence and being able to pick up communication going on through nontraditional channels is becoming very important for the intelligence community. >> mitchell silver, thank you. >> thank you. >> three guys from brooklyn accused of trying to support the islamic state went to court, all pleaded not guilty to terror charges. the feds arrested the suspects last month. two of these guys bought plane tickets to turkey and were planning to go from turkey into syria. the third defendant accused of helping one suspect pay for that flight. the feds say that one man even

handed the fbi agent a written statement claiming he would kill president obama if isis ordered it. defense lawyers claim the fbi's paid informant encouraged the suspects to make their plans. laura ingle at the courthouse in brooklyn now. >> reporter: all three men sat in the jury box together, each handcuffed and shackled around the waist, listenpum who made sure they all understood the charges against them before they entered their plea. the alleged terror trio a 19-year-old, 24-year-old, and a 30-year-old, were ordered to remain in custody for now. prosecutors allege the three conspired to join up with isis and say they have evidence, some through confidential informants, showing there were suggested plans to blow up new york's coney island shoot the president and gun down police and fbi agents, all attorneys waived their clients' right to

speedy trial so they can sort through the complex nature of the case. >> look at the statements have been transcribed and translated correctly. then we have to look at where the statements it in with the activities of the informant and what the iní with respect to eliciting statements. >> all three will be back in court for a status conference hearing june 19th. >> laura ingle in brooklyn, thank you. a top u.s. commander warning now that russian -- that russia's military activity could make it harder for u.s. forces to defend north america. in other words, they're worried about putin. has anybody seen that guy scratching his head on the big wall? he seems to have gone missing and the rumors are off the hook. hang on now. e... it's a full day for me, and i love it. but when i started having back pain my sister had to come help. i don't like asking for help.

waste into an unending source of electrical power for a city? when emerson takes up the challenge it's never been done before simply becomes consider it solved. emerson. president vladimir putin has been stepping up russia's missile development, and it could hurt the united states and canada's ability to defend north america. that's a warning today from the head of norad. he told lawmakes russia has been work only a new program to deploy long-range cruise missiles 'thousands of miles from war planes and submarines on navy ships. the official says the program is giving russia other military options that stop short of the nuclear threshold and also said russian bombers flew more

patrols near the air space of foreign countries last year than at any time since the cold war. tenges have been running high between the kremlin and the west over the deadly crisis in eastern ukraine. meantime, president putin is set to make his first public appearance in more than a week as kremlin officials are trying to shut down the rumors he is bad sick. they say on monday he will meet with a country's president. he last appeared in public last thursday for a meeting if italy's prime minister. analysts say it's rare for him to go even a day without a public event, and he has postponed an upcoming trip and yesterday missed an national security meeting he typically attend. kremlin officials say images show president putin at this week's private event. they say this shows him meeting today with the president of the russian supreme court. they say another image shows him at a woman's day event on sunday but a local newspaper

reports the event actually happened days earlier. putin spent years building a reputation as some sort of macho man. his spokesman says the president is perfectly healthy and his handshake is so strong it would break your hand. that's what his spokesman said. for real. of course, it's not unprecedented for russian leaders to disappear from the public eye. president put's predecessor boriséya yeltsin would disappear for drinking binges and health problems no word on why putin has been missing. ashley winster -- i cannot talk today -- >> you've got it. >> i think putin is doing something he shouldn't be doing. >> if you believe the rumors, there's all sorts of things. but i can tell you that onboard air force one today reporters asked whether the president is being briefed on exactly where mr. putin is, and white house spokesman said that he has a hard enough time trying to keep

up with one world leader but he is operating under the assumption that the russian leader is alive. earlier this afternoon the state department deflected questions about mr. putin's whereabouts. >> there was a report that russian president vladimir putin has not been seen in public for a week. does the state department have any idea where he is, what he is up to? >> i believe the kremlin has spoken to this, so i would point you to that. >> you don't have any reaction. >> i don't have information no. >> in the meantime, the rumors about why mr. putin is m.e.i.a. is rampant, everything from plastic surgery or having a stroke and the strongest rumor is in fact he has been at a swiss clinic where his russian girlfriend has given birth. there is strong rumors about this. we just found out that a spokesman for mr. putin is strongly denying those rumors. >> it's my favorite rumor. if he has this hot little girlfriend and putin had a baby, that would be awesome.

>> it would be awesome. a great story. arena is her name, and he doesn't like being out of the limelight for 50 seconds, so to be out of the limelight for eight days something has to be up. we'll find out monday whether he shows his face in st. petersburg. >> nice to see you. we know the feds listen to our phone calls every day. we know they read all our e-mails. probably up in your house right now want at thing around looking for cookies. now they're watching your youtube videos, and if they see something they don't like they're sending letters to the people who post the videos and it has to do with drones. thanks, government. more on that inmont. stay tuned. before larry instantly transferred money from his bank of america savings account to his merrill edge retirement account.

you need to stop posting video from your drone.

the order from the faa. the agency is now sing letters to people who post drone videos online. one guy in florida says he got a letter this week warning these youtube clips violate regulations because they use commercial drones for purposes without authorization. series -- seriously. but he insists he uses the device to shoot landmarks and not to make money. the faa considers youtube videos commercial because of those annoying ad that pop up over the video clips, the ones you never watch. an faa official tells us the letter made no mention of advertisement and that the warning is technically not a cease and desist letter. the official told news a statement the faa's goal is to promote voluntary compliance by educating individual unmanned aircraft systems operators about how they can safely operate under current regular layings and laws. -- regulations and laws.

let's bring in justin green, an aviation attorney. they can't do that. >> they can if it's a commercial operation. what i think is really important is they mentioned safety. this doesn't have anything to do with safety. if it did they wouldn't be talking just about commercial operations. they'd be looking at private operations. so if this is a private operation faa doesn't care. once a dollar is made from it, now they do care. so what i say is it has nothing to do with safety. it has tootoo with the faa's turf. >> power and control. >> pour and control. >> do they want -- great britain is kicking our butts in the drone category because their rules are better. >> their government moves slower than industry. over the last five years there have been incredible strides made in technology, and the drones now can do many, many missions that helicopters used to do, that airplanes used to do. think about the combat. how many pilots are walking

around now because the missions they would have had to fly were done by drones?áqp t(q of helicopters or airplanes. same thing with civilian missions. news helicopters, many examples. >> you think they would want to promo this industry which would create jobs and opportunities, instead it appears they're trying to get in the way of it. >> if it had to do with safety that's different. i could take a helicopter some fly over my house and take pictures. now i put the helicopter pilot at risk, the photographer at risk people on the ground at risk, and the faa wouldn't have a problem with that. they would have a problem if i put a drone over my house and charged a dollar for it, and then they would come in and say you violated federal regulations. >> that's the best i ever heard it put. we can spend the $2,500 an hour to fly the helicopter, the news helicopter. we have lots of them you have to pay the photographer and -- or you can put a $1,500 drone up and just bring it straight back

down and never cause any injury to anybody and not cost now money, but they categorize the two things differently. >> they're just behind the curve. the industry is way ahead of the regulate you'res, regulators are trying to catch up but they want to keep control. this don't want to lose control of it so they have done arbitrary things like write this gentleman a letter because he posted michigan on -- posted something on youtube. >> south korean officials say north korea test-fired seven short-range missiles into the sea. the latest show or force from the nuclear nation. one landed in the sea of japan. one official said north korean leader kim jong-un inspected the tests himself. the secretive regime has been protesting annual springtime military drills between south korea and the united states. right now it's perfectly legal for lawmaker to use our money to fly in first class.

clays anyway because the fly so often and have the miles to get them there. this is a push lawmakers who support this thing say if you're a congress person, we're trillions of dollars in debt, adding billions of dollars to the national debt each year, you should be flying coach like the rest of the folks. the way this thing works is that congress gets a set amount each year and they can spend it on travel how the one. one watchdog group says it would take a real scandal, another type of spending scandal to get this thing through congress. >> the last time there was a truly enormous scandal was probably abremaff and this isn't quite on this level. and discovery still needs to happen in that case. >> congress continues to figure out its budgeting for a next year on all of this shep so it will start to write its budget for next year. we have had iterations of this before, all efforts previous have failed. >> it's not going to matter to the two people who are

sponsoring this thing because they're both millionaires many times over. i'm guessing somebody has calculated what this would save. more than a thousand bucks? >> here's the thing. they have an actual score or cost estimate on the bill. it's tough to gauge how much it would save. the way it works is congress gets a set amount each year to try to pend on their office supplies, on hiring staff and on travel. they can spend it on first-class travel if they want to, but the amount that congress has been spending on each individual office's has fallen collectively by $100 million over the last five years so this would make a dent but if history is our guide i won't pass. >> president obama in phoenix today visiting the hospital in the middle of the veterans affairs scandal last year. the white house says the president will host a roundtable discussion with lawmakers and veterans on the state of the va.

least year reports revealed dozens 60 veterans died while waiting for care in this phoenix facility, and staffers at va clinics across the nation kept fake waiting lists to cover up the problem. about 50 protesters were waiting outside the phoenix va clinic today. last august the president signed a bill to spend $16 billion to overhaul the entire department. some[x;v lawmakers complain the va isn't making changes quickly enough. just u.s.a. today reported thousands of veterans are turn away who need help. chris wallace is live with us. turning away subsubstance abuse veterans. seems wrong to the core. >> it is. this is interesting -- the president was on a west coast swing -- he went to this va hospital, the place where the whole scandal started with vets having to wait for months and

some dying while they waited. the president went to phoenix in january, drove past the hospital but didn't stop. that was very controversial and he was criticized for that, and he is making a stop specifically there today there are bunch of issues. for instance, one of the other problems is that last august, at the height of the scandal the president announced a reform and what it was is that if you live more than 40 miles away from the va hospital, or you would have to wait more than 30 days and yet still hadn't gotten an appointment, and they put $10 billion into the kitty for this -- that you could get a visit with a private doctor, and in fact they even handed out 8 million veterans choice cards. only 27000 people have signed up for it and in the president's latest budget he is going to take some money away from the private choice option and put it back into the va so a

lot of vets are unhappy about that. >> seems like we are not getting things right on more than just health care, but on issue after issue after issue with veterans. it's inexcusable. >> well exactly. we're talking about people who have the choice and in this all-volunteer army and chose to defend this country, and often times in this last decade especially, in a war on terror, paid a price for it. sometimes serving -- suffering egregious injuries and whet win we come back we don't help them. >> what are you doing this weekend, e-mail stuff? >> we thought we'd cover hillary clinton. doesn't seem like she answered all of that. we'll talk to the head of the benghazi -- are you going to do the promo or am i? >> when you say benghazi you have to use jazz hands so say benghazi. >> well, you know, you can say that.

you have been scent cal about --!3 skeptical about this bump if -- but if they hadn't been demanding documents we wouldn't find out hillary clinton hadn't turned over her >> you realize that harvard and yale are playing tomorrow? >> in what sport? >> basketball. it's march madness, christopher. >> oh. >> who are you for? >> i haven't -- well of course i'm for harvard. >> curious. you big ivy league people. >> who how for ole miss or mississippi state. >> mississippi state isn't playing basketball anymore. we lost last night but may make the tournament because all the other middle of the pack teams are losing. so@p we make it in there by the skin of our necks but they have to play better than that to keep our attention. >> but if harvard wins do we win the i'vey league and get an automatic bid to the ncaa. >> you have to play again on sunday if you beat yale and you

have to win that. so it's going to take more. i've been watching this penn state purdue game. penn state came out of nowhere. they won two games in january and february and now they're just giving purdue a hard time. it's 42-41 right now. >> give me with your best 'tones, going to give me a good promo for fox news. >> i haven't looked at it. i'll read it for you now if you'd like. >> you can cold read it better than i could read it if i practiced for an hour. >> they told me i'd be filling in for you next time you're aware, and i told them i don't have time. sundays are busy during match. you can cack kris on fox news suzuki -- fox news sunday over the hillary clinton e-mails. and another committee member, the democratic california congressman -- it says woman but it's wrong -- adam schiff is a

man. and chris will talk about the nuclear negotiations with iran. with these two. that's this weekend on "fox news sunday. wow wow weirdly this weekend we're putting it on sunday and on fox. not this fox. on the fox where they have football on sundays in the fall. that's where chris is this time of day. is everything good? >> everything is fine. congresswoman, though, i may have to start doing these myself. >> i like the idea. less work for me ills better. >> everything is good. how about with you? >> it's absolutely spectacular. we're getting out -- usually don't leaveh[bqñ at 8:00. so tonight i'm leaving at 6:00 so i'm very excited about that. that just a short time from now and everyone is excited. we'll take the weekend off. >> where are you going? >> i'll go home. i'm going to watch basketball

tonight at a sports bar. and then i'll probably do that tomorrow for the whole day and then on sunday i'll probably watch basketball. that's probably it. >> wow. >> it's great. >> exciting. >> exciting life up here in new york. chris, nice to see you. tell the soup lady hello. >> i willdi4 p indeed. >> all right. he might could have ferguson, missouri, but i doubt it. protesters there say they will not let one violent act distract them from their message. around 200 people peacefully rallied outside the city's police station last night. a smaller crowd than the night before, when somebody shot and wounded two police officers. investigators say they haven't made any arrests. more on the manhunt. >> the latest round of protests come after the justice department found widespread racism. and a court system that often targeted blacks for tickets just to raise money for the city. protesters last night condemned the shooting of the officers.

dozens showed up at a village toll play for place but just as the crowd gathered a pickup truck drove by with somebody shouting "white power." steve hair -- harrigan is in figure son. >> there's a real manhunt on for the shooter searching door to door by police and occasionally roof to roof. they brought to three paper of interest for questioning but right now no one is in custody. no arrests have been made. as farce the weapon we're not -- as far as the weapon, we saw police with metal detectors they've found at least three of the casings, three or four shoots fired. no word yet on what weapon was used. the shots fired from at least 100-yards away but the governor as well as the police chief saying it was clear the police were deliberately targeted by the shooter. as far as the two wind officers, both out of the hospital, resting. one officer still has a bullet

longedded next to his ear. last night, 200 people, largely peaceful no arrests made, and one night after two officers shot, we saw the police come out and really break things up just after midnight but in a very calm manner, without riot gear, without any show of force just telling the protesters, please get off the streets. so a calm night last night. we expect similar numbers tonight unless something dramatic changes, shep. >> hopefully i won't. steve, thank you very much. a new study that rank thursday deadliest states for drivers in the nation and we have a look at the states. uh-oh. the red one. >> it is the red ones. the study comes from the auto insurance center, broker for auto insurance. they came up with the most dangerous states for drivers. the states are in the south or rural. or the safer states are along the coast. the safest state -- >> new jersey? >> well new jersey. >> this study is wrong.

breaking news now. an attorney representing the former members members of the banned oklahoma fraternity spoke. the lawyer they hired? the same man who defended the oklahoma city bomber, timothyué ÷ mcveigh. he is talking to reporters right now. the attorney says the alumni are trying to get the university overtook rethink the permanent ban on sigma alpha epsilon over the now infamous racist chants and he is looking into possible first amendment violations and could not rule out a lawsuit against the school. >> our preference is to proceed in a nonlegal solution nonadversarial solution, and a nonlitigation solution. if that is not possible although we act in good faith and present this, then obviously we'll have to consider other possibilities. >> the lawyersfól considering a lawsuit, sounds like. after this listen.

really? and now you are talking about suing? are you -- ou's president booted the fraternity from campus after a busload of members were caught doing this saying obviously that black people would never join their fraternity and could instead hang from a tree. the lawyer says the ills not representing the two students the university expelled. he said it was unfair for the university to label all members as racist and some of them are getting death threats. we're contacting sigma alpha epsilon's national office who says it has nothing to do with this attorney and is not planning any legal action. sounds like they don't want any part of this stuff, and who would. the national office is still investigating reports that fraternity members at other universities, including texas tech, used the same racist chance but they have not finished with the investigation. sae leaders insist the chant
