goning on on the identity of the executioner who has a north american acent. it is the same as the other christians. they are trying to determine if it is dubbed over or a north american is letting those executions in the country. portions of the 29 minute tape appear to be digitally alter. and there are other things in the film that suggest green scene technology would be used. this is the second time isis staged a mass execution in libia. the islamic state is comfortable and operating there and fox was first to report that isis is expand nothing north

africa. and isis is now blamed for 20 plots in the country. on friday, president obama addressed the growing safe haven. >> we are consistently looking in where terrorist threats iminate and libya is a area of great concern. isil is explicit of using libya as a potential justification for putting their personnel there. >> the latest video is described as having advanced post production and no guidance on whether they are professionally trained or sufficiently taught jenna. >> we'll revisit that later this hour. >> and we'll hear from our viewers. with news of another massacre is the u.s. doing enough to help the people of africa? >> in the meantime six minnesota

men are charged with terrorism and for attempting to join isis. they were planning to fly out of san diego and new york to get to it syria it relies on a informant who was also conspiring to join the terror group before changing his minds. these are the latest arrests of westerners accused of trying to join the islamic state militants. >> australia, now the united states ally agreed to share information with the fighters with iran. the arrangement is meant to help the fight against isis and not help terrain. >> i want there to be no misunderstanding. the unit of supporting the iraqi government and we are there at the invitation of the iraqi

government. >> she charged australians to stay away saying they would be killed in a joined isis. >> while we are talking of iran president obama doing a major sales pitch. by meeting with the crown prince of the united arab emirates. the iranian supreme leader is talking tough about the new round of negotiations. joishgs it is a complicated walk for a president who is convinced diplomatic solution is the smartest and safest way to go in iran and yet still so much work to be done before that possibility will be a reality. the talks are still under way. and part of that including talks with a key ally.

crown prince of of the uae sharing concerns about a nuclear capitol iran and today their supreme leader repeating the claim that iran is only interested in nuclear energy and not weapon row. mong them israeli freedom prime benjamin netanyahu said the obama desire for a agreement with iran is unwise. there is a number of mechanisms in place to hold iran accountable if they violate a possible deal. >> our main concern here, is making sure if iran doesn't a boyd by its agreement, we don't have to jump through hoops in order to reinstate sanctions. >> reporter: clearly that is the rub.

will the sanctions be eliminated in total? people are looking for information and small details like that we don't know what will turn out if a deal is reached by the end of june. we'll hear more probably from the briefing here in the united states. >> thank you, kevin. >> there is a way for captainingal republicans to repeal obama care. it can be addressed using a maneuver using reconciliation. the gop is divided. it would be vetoed and a way to achieve other goals. karl rove chief of staff to george bush and fox news contributor. democratsoused reconciliation to pass the affordable care act. and what about the republicans

using it to repeal obama care. >> if they do use reconciliation to repeal it president obama will veto it. there is some who say let's not waste the time. they want to put everybody on the record knowing that president obama will veto. it the question is how much time will be eaten up with that maneuver. we are getting to a point where time is important. republicans are more likely going to run with a positive alternative as well. and it takes time to work through. that in the end of the day, republicans promised to repeal it and my suspension there will be an effort do do that. >> what do you advise? >> get it done with. they have to wait until the

house and senate budget negotiators meeting in conference arrive in the final set of numbers. this was last done in 2010 to allow for the passage of the affordable care act. the republicans will be in the majority since before 2010. and they will be able to arrive at an admissibility -- added number. and it it will go to the senate. the senate is more difficult with the question of time because they are more free range and allow for more expression of opinion. it is more of an issue in the senate, they are feeling the pinch and they want to use the moment of time to move positive and constructive agenda on behalf of the conservative cause. >> use the time for tax reform or rewrite and use

reconciliation for. >> one thing on reconciliation. tax writers indicated they want a bipartisan agreement so they can move a senate tax reform with 60 votes. they have a willing accomplice in senator wydon of oregon. so we are not likely to be an issue from voting the repeal of obama care. maybe other issues they are concerned about running out of time it. >> and now the big topic today. the new report out of the new york times. there is a new book that claims that foreign enitties who gave money to the charity received favorable treatment from hillary clinton while secretary of state. we learned of this and questions about the foundation going back to the washington post story

midfebruary. what are you hearing about this, carl? inside of your circles? >> i don't know him well, but i know of peter, who did the book. he is a meticulous writer. it appears to be deeply researched and here are the facts. this has to be devastating and it is problematic when the clinton foundation is raising money from foreign governments at the same time mrs. clinton is secretary of state. it is also problematic that the clinton foundation is receiving money from foreign governments when she is comtemplating running for president. peter has gone to the tax documents and other materials in order to arrive at a picture of what this pattern has been. and my suspicion it will be

a terrific read and problematic read for the clinton campaign. >> when the story ca it caused a big flurries back in february. flurries started and then the news moved on and what would have to be in this book that would potentially change the path that hillary clinton is setting for herself to be the democratic nominee for president. >> new information about the nature of the contributions in question. my understanding that more information about more contributions and reporting on who benefitted by the policys and actions while she was secretary of state. he is a researcher with a strong reputation of being straightforward reporter of what the facts are. we learned in february.

gun. the woman had injuries that are consistent with the claims of being beat up. and her story remained consistent since day one and didn't change it like good old jodi arias. i am not saying it will means she will be acquitted but they help her. >> what do you think? >> i think it is the prosecution's case to lose. she claim self defense. she has shown remorse what so ever and not one tear questioned by the police. and shoots six times. 1 or 2 shots for self defense but six times and not forget the text message. one sent 11 days prior. go to the shooting range and i will shoot him and make it seem like know accident. and the confession to the jail house snitches. i understand that they look at

exterminated and we have to realize we are at war with a global iideology. >> the president said in the past and recently just a few weeks ago, we are not at war with ice lal. but if they are at war with christians and then what does that mean for our strategy and how do we approach this group. >> gen a think about that. the president said we are not at war with islam. they are at war with us. we can't defeat it unless we recognize the threat. we need a strategy to focus on radical islam. and that is a global threat and not a regional terrorist threat. >> we'll talk about results and consequences. we saw the similar video a few months ago, we saw christians beheaded. the egyptians reacted with air

strikes. these are ethiopian christians and certainly do not have the same resources as egyptians. what do we do differently to elicit the results. isis is continuing to do this. and the results did not change even though it was met with more aggression. >> i have two response. the egyptian response didn't achieve anything. and i might also add the reason that isis is doing the attacks in libya is interesting. it is a permissive environment. they can execute people out in the open and not be subject to the air strikes. we have to have a strategy to go after isis everywhere. we could see executions like this and the u.s. should do something about it. >> if we see air strikes on

libya coast send jets out there to blow them to oblivion. if they are wearing line up of orange jumpsuits. we could see. that they are filmed out in open. >> and experts say there is coordination that they are seeing now and they believe that isis representatives terrorist in libya are working with those inside of syria and showing that the group is together and then the news of those in america being arrested because they want to fight on behalf of isis and the network extending to north america. but the broader strategy what do we need? the results are the same that isis is killing more people and more brutally and nothing is changing. >> i would add that we don't know the purpose.

they may be trying to exaggerate their ability in libia. they are pushing a global ideology. and we are focusing on a terrorist group we can't deal with a global threat. >> thank you so much. >> good to be here. >> north korea also notorious for propaganda could be taking it to new heights literally. state run media reported that kim jong-un climbed the highest mountain. the peak over 9000 feet over sea level. there is seems to be no end of what kim jong-un can do. he can fly a fighter jet and direct military exercises. >> he is be wearing a hat. >> a young vladimar putin.
