4:01 am
forces we'll wipe them out. since this summer, isil has not had a single successful major offensive operation on the ground in either syria or iraq. in recent weeks, we've destroyed hundreds of their tanker trucks, wells, and refineries. and we're going to keep on hammering those. isil also continues to lose territory in iraq. isil had already lost across kircut province and in tikrit and more@ recently, isil lost at sinjar, losing a sategic highway. isil lost t baiji with its oil refinery. we saw during the daring raid supported by our special forces, which rescued dozens of prisoners from il, which master sergeant joshua wheeler made the ultimate sacrifice. so far isil has lost about 40% of the populated areas it

[ explosion ] the massive explosion blew shrapnel in every direction and filled the bunker with choking dust. that noise is debris from the bomb and wreckage from the car that came crashing down. everybody's ears were ringing, but no one was hurt. hours later, we crossed into syria where rebel commander colonel talal ali selo gave us a grim picture of just how many suicide missions they've seen. can n u give me an idea, how
4:04 am
past month? "42 car and truck bombers," he said, "three on motorcycles and foururuicide bombers on foot." this week three car bombs killed 28 people. the colonel told us the town had ruout of sugar, so to get past checkpoints, isis hid the bombs in trucks delivering sugar. you went to the funeral today. what are people there telling you? "they want revenge for the dead," he told us, "and they want us to make sure this doesn't happen again." the colonel told us although they stotoed most attacks, scott, it's hard to stop them all because isis is constantly changing tactics. they never know when they're going to strike, and they seem to have an unlimited supply of suicide bombers. >> charlie d'agata on the battlefield, thanks. there's also apparently an unlimited supply of followers coming to the west.

4:15 am
good projects. let me put the problem of gun violence into perspective. think of the most horrific mass shootings in american history. newtown, 26 peopop killed, virginia tech, 32 people killed, and we lose that many people to gun violence every day in america. on an average day in america, 31 people are killed with gun homicides, and 58 people shoot themselves with guns. this isn't just a law enforcement problem, it's a public health problem. homicides and suicides are the number-two and number-three causes of death in young people and teenagers in america today. those people aren't being killed with viruses. they're being killed for the most part by bullets. the gun is, afafr all a machine, a mechanical object that causes injuries, like a car, and car crash deaths in this country have dropped by more than half since 1980 by a public health approach with safer highways and safer car design. we can take a public health approach to design safer guns and put in other public health policies to reduce gun deaths, as well.
