this first one, a guy flying his electric powered remote controlled glider in western australia, right along the coast. beautiful, blue waters out there. he's got his gopro attached to the glider. look at what he's seeing out there. >> gorgeous. >> here's the problem, though. it's very sunny out there and he's lost his orientation. he can't tell where he's going. the glider now just spinning around as he tries to fure out how do i get this back to and the glider runs into a submarine. this is the best crash ever because look. like found nemo after he crashed. all of the beautiful fivsh in the water. captures images of a shark swimming by. >> ridiculous! >> sea turtles. i mean you couldn't have had a better crash video than this. >> how did he get it back? did he have to swim out to get it? >> he had help from people nearby with a heboat. they search for the plane. they see it floating on top of the water, pick it up bring it back. sadly, the glider destroyed but the venerable gopro not injured at all, providing this great footage. >> considering what we saw you expect a dolphin to brin

so yesterday, i was in sunny perth, western australia. and luckily everyone is very friendly. got around 500 hugs on video. and i had friends sharing hugs on facebook. it was amazing. i was blown away. last night i got a call from you guys. >> it's your lucky day. >> i'll let you get a word in but i want hugs to be ice breakers to start an open conversation about mental health and let's try and improve things and smash these stigmas. >> i notice that signed. but quickly, what has the response been? hugging strangers, are they awkward about it or more engaging? >> good question. really generally, you know 99% have a positive response. i had all kinds of responses yesterday. some people came up and talked to me about their illness. some said they've lost friends recently. others just said it's really great. i think this needs to be done. i do have a secret weapon if you can wait for ten seconds. this really helped. i'm not the best looking of blokes. i didn't go out and try to hug people. i just held the sign up. kids can you come here please? >> oh my goodness. this is so adora

western australia is battling a blaze. brush fires are burning out of control. plumes of smoke fill the skies seen up to 62 miles away from perth. roads are closed. residents are advised today evacuate the affected areas. 40 homes have been destroyed since the gun. this has been the worst in .3 decades. >>> when you think of the homeless, you likely picture a person living on the street. there are many more in shelters and thousands of them are families. the national center on family homelessness says 1 in 30 american children are homeless. day lin ford shows us the challenge to get on their feet is often a difficult one. >> a home for the new year jessica says. that's her dream for 2015. for the past year the single mother and her son, ryan have lived here at new york city's largest family homeless shelter. jessica says she came to the saratoga family inn after fleeing domestic violence at the hands of her per. she asked us not to use her last name for her safety. >> at first, it was very depressing. but as time went by and i started going back to school and ju

there are many individuals unfortunately, in places like the united states included, but western countries australiamay have not belonged to any military, ever trained with al qaeda or the islamic state or perhaps they did receive some training of them but are not members of the organizes properly speaking and yet as anti-nolan in moore, oklahoma, a muslim concert converted to islam in prison that had never been in a battle or participated in a military but he saw himself as a member of the umma. the international global community. he felt more allegiance to that than to a citizen and aleemgance to the united states and the constitution. and he attacked and killed two women at his food processing plant in oklahoma and behead one of them before he was killed. and so there are people apr the world that answer the call to jihad or sharia whether or not they are identified as a member of a group or organization. and we have those that aren't affiliated withize lawmaker and we address these in the paper too who are perhaps within certain functional spheres. you may call them the financial spheres, the cy

australia, one of my favorite places when it comes to weather. it is the land of extremes. lock at the westernhottest temperatures in the world taking place. about a 47 or so celsius. to the east talking some of the heaviest rainfall taking place. really from brisbane north, rockhampton, working toward townsville the hometown of our john vause out there getting heavy rainfall. the heaviest concentrated around the sunshine coast where we expect to get upwards of 100 millimeters, maybe more. six or so inches when you get close to 150 meters. that's something we're watching with the extreme rainfall in the forecast. there you go. the upper 40s sells yes, thoub -- celsius, should be in the 40s. perth getting up to 100 fahrenheit at 37 celsius. there you go. australian open forecast temperatures pretty seasonal. 27 degrees, exactly where it should be. look at saturday. if you're going out there, if you know the players out there, certainly going to be dealing with extreme temperatures, up to around 31 celsius come saturday afternoon. hiring new employees can be tough. but it doesn't have to be. bec

australia. every old western european country where every state in the u.s. and across canada, going fast into south america. >> you have spent your life protecting animals but recently, you have been involved in trying to help save elephants. can you talk a little bit about that effort? >> the poaching of elephants and rhinos and other animals has increased so dramatically and it's become such a money earner. you get criminal cartels coming in and the money from slaughtering elephants and selling the ivory is actually supporting some of these terrorist groups. and, of course, it's the demand in asia. and so we are using our roots and chutes groups in china. i wouldn't say we are using them because they want to do it but, you know, the slogan is: if the buying stops, the killing stops. and a lot of the chinese honestly believe that elephants shed their tusks and they don't understand the horrible slaughter and suffering, suffering of individual animals whether it's elephant did, rhino, tigers, apes being shot for bush meat, you know, the slaughter is going on

western world. this event in paris and the event in australia weeks before those were attacks on the western world. culmination of those events and then whispers that are within that community that the intelligence personnel are now warning everyone, this is going to happen and it's going to happen all over. >> not surprising and it's part of pattern that when something of this nature so big encompassing happens it takes over in the news cycle. i wonder the degree to which it takes over the news cycle you believe it's feeding those who would like to do exactly that. >> well, it certainly does give them the publicity they want. these are masters at using special media. because we're fighting a very fluid ideology that can be spread literally by bits and pieces throughout the internet and throughout any form of mass communication, it is now at the point that it can't be stopped that way. we can't target all of these individuals through social media and everything else. it's not possible. so we need to get the greater world involved in this search because intelligence agencies are completely outmanned

australia within asian football. remember they had the asian club champions. the westernwanderers are club champions, as well as australia winning the asian cup. the gulf nations feeling australia is not giving back. and is getting a lot out of it. this tournament rubbished that. it's been a wonderful show. lots of goals and fans going through the turnstile. it's been a huge success, but the arab nations are powerful within the afc. the president is from bahrain and admitted that the question of australia membership could come up for a vote at the afc later this year. the idea of the asian champions kicked out of their own confederation is extraordinary. results tonight has been important for australia - not just on the pitch, but off it. >> thank you rahul for that >>> the quarterfinals of the africa cup of nations kicks off on saturday. congo and democratic republic of congo are in a highly anticipated clash. d.r.c. are yet to win. three draws were enough for them to make it to the last eighth. congo, 61st in the world were group a winners, their coach reached the knock

very broadly to include the united states, to include canada, to include western europe and even countries like awfort. australia. >> so much of the focus on international terrorism has been on i.s.i.l. now we're talking about al qaeda in the arabian peninsula, both groups have threatened to attack the american heart land. the underwear bomber in 2009 and potential attack in 2010. which do you see as a bigger threat to the united states? >> well, it's difficult to rank these groups and say this is the most dangerous threat, this is priority number 1, this group is 1a. i think you're right, i think the media has been focused primarily on i.s.i.s. but terrorism analysts the u.s. government law enforcement and others have been focused on i.s.i.s. in addition to groups like al qaeda in the arabian peninsula, groups like jabat al nusra, there have been a wide universe ever jihadist universe of yifdist jihadist groups. >> are all lone wolves still in your estimation a more likely threat to the united states than a military attack, military-style attack like what we saw in paris? >> i think one of the big factors is ge

. >> put it that way, the conversation between france and the united kingdom, australia, canada, most of the westernorld the conversation over the past six months it was about the return of the jihadists coming from syria and iraq and other parts including africa. thises pthis is the appetizer. we see what could happen in the future with similar situations. what concerns me is the training and execution of the operation, the time of the jihadi professional. >> how do we prevent something like this from happening again or here or in any other country? >> the answer the public didn't want to hear from officials, and i am not an official it possible or impossible? >> in my view it is impossible to keep the jihadists from trying. what we can do as governments and civil societies across the world is to be more alert, to get more education as to how to detect. except for these two americans before they engage in the operation immediately there were jihadists they have come before. (indiscernible). let's look at other situations. who is returning from the battlefield of the levant in the middle east? this

. >> we have seen these attacks on western countries in the last few months the attack in ottawa the attack in australiaific attacks in paris. what do you think the likelihood is that we will start to see this as the new normal in western countries, including the united states? >> well in some sense, we have already seen it because since the late yemeni clerk al awlaki put out his call for individual acts of jihad by people wherever they may be we have seen a number of such acts and one of them was carried out by nidal hassan at fort hood. these belong in that same cat category category. it could happen here but that being said we have really dedicated domestic law enforcement and intelligence personnel working these issues around the clock. it could happen you can't prevent every attack but i think we are much more aware of the threat than anyone on earth and really doing our best to prevent it from happening again. >> just a few months ago, president obama touted the anti-terrorist operations in yemen as a clear success. it's still vague, still murky how connected the kouachi brothers were to al qaeda

australia kills muslims in syria and iraq. each attack a different rational given. the reality is attacks are bread out of a redepressive view that espouses a war without boarders without end, against western just the killings in paris, pakistan and australia, in the past month, there have been many many more all in the name of radical islam. mogadishu mogadishu, somalia, turkey this week a female suicide bomber attacks a police station in the main tourist district of istanbul. and a steady background drumbeat during the same month. the new normal the death toll at the hands of radicals climbs. executions in syria, car bombs in iraq. and in afghanistan, this week a car bomb targeting european police failing, killing yet more innocent afghan civilians. like so many victims in this radical islamist world war, most of those dying are muslims. nic robertson, cnn, atlanta. >>> still to come for you here on cnn, the terror attack in paris is having a chilling effect on some cartoonists. >> if i did a cartoon, an offensive cartoon, they would shoot more people. >> one artist struggles to come up with a cartoon to offend no one. see his final product later this hour. financial noise financial nois

cheryl: two things are happening when it comes to al qaeda and isis, inspiring western civilians, we seen this in australia we are worried about it now, whether they direct the attack in paris or did they inspire the attack what is the difference? there was an attack and the point about the passport, paris and london they have problem with dual citizenship passports that we did in the united states. that is why i was not surprised something like this did happen in paris this week. it has been a concern for some time. stuart: in the last 45 minutes police in france have insulted the holdout, the two brothers responsible for the magazine killings are did. two guys on the street they are dead, their brothers, they are gone and hostage they have taken, released not released she escaped, female, and armed. the kosher deli in paris the gunman who took over the kosher deli is dead. the lady on the left, his girlfriend, we don't know what happened to her, nor do we know precisely what happened to those hostages. fox news is reporting that three terror suspects killed, french hostages freed. we got some double barr

western countries to put pressure on these governments. >> thank you very much for your insights today. >> next we headed to australia where an investigation the seizure at a sydney cafÉ last month has concluded that police bullets killed one of the hostages. >> officials have confirmed that a woman was struck by fragments of police ammunition that ricocheted into her body. a gunman claiming to be working for the islamic state took control of the cafÉ in downtown sydney. after he killed one of the hostages, police stormed the building. >> malaysia has formally declared the disappearance of flight mh-370 an accident, and says the 239 passengers and crew must be presumed dead. >> the flight went missing last march. a massive search operation was launched, but no trace of the aircraft has ever been found. >> the official declaration clears the way for relatives of the victims to receive compensation, but for many of them, they would rather have concrete answers as to what caused the plane to crash. >> it is one of the great mysteries of our age what happened to flight mh-370. search efforts have been concentrated far west of australia over th

australia. a few months after a fatal shooting in canada. the new norm. is this it in the western world?how? we'll talk about that and debate it. >> president obama under fire for his stance on islamic terrorism. senator john mccain joins us live with why he and many others feel the president's policies are making us less safe. he'll tell us what he thinks. >> the president's policy is basically to kill terrorists with drones. i'm not necessarily opposed to that but the most important thing you can do is capture a terrorist and interrogate them. and of course, the president doesn't want us to do that, either. aarp's staying sharp keeps your brain healthy with online exercises by the top minds in brain science. find more real possibilities at aarp.org/possibilities. >> new questions today about whether an isis recruitment video helps inspire the terror attack in paris. last month french members put on a video calling on muslims to conduct terrorist attacks in france. meanwhile, evidence shows that several french citizens joined the terrorist grup. in fact, 1,000 citizens are known to be i

western muslim. someone born and raised in canada and now currently lives in australia, happily and in harmony with everyone around me. i can tell you that for us as muslims, the issue really isn't about the caricature. it's that we want people to respect us for who we are and to respect the red lines, i guess, or sensitivities that we have as you on your show have done. and i think you should be applauded for that. >> so i'll ask this question. muslims in france they don't feel accepted by the country. they feel that many racist acts are carried out against them. is the anger within france paris, coming from that and not really religion? >> you know what carol, that's an excellent point. i think it's kind of like what we saw in ferguson. this was kind of in some way the timber that lit the spark but embers were already burning. there's a prevailing feeling in france among many muslims that they are not treated as part of the state at large. france has a proud and long secular history and it's not always done the best of integrating any religious minorities. french muslims included. so there's a feeling the

as the conflict changes with western involvement and air strikes recruitment was on the rise. like the bloody standoff in sydney australia, a gunman held 10 hostage in a cafe. at one point forcing them to hold up a black banner. a group that has the declaration of faith rein in calligraphy. three, including the gunmen were killed. this is a pre-attack preparatory work. they'll do a few dry runs. >> reporter: law enforcement can't arrest anyone thinking radical thoughts but the bloodshed that took place - locating them is difficult >>> france has the second largest muslim population making up 7.5% of the country's population. most from french-speaking countries. muslims in france have fully condemned the attacks. the government bans religious symbols in public schools, and defends what the community sees as religious hate speech. the double standards there and in a global community at large. a newspaper created uproar for publishing offensive cartoons of prophet muhammad refused to run drawings making fun of jesus. the paper fired a cartoonist in 2009 for inspiring racial hatred for mocking president sarcozy's son over a

australia, and the u.s. what does it mean when they are targeting law enforcement in western countries? because usually the terrorists like to hit the civilian population. that's what causes the terror. >> reporter: retired special agent stephen moore ran al qaeda investigations in the asia pacific region for the fbi. he says their game has fundamentally changed. the uniform has to be visible. does that make you a visible target? >> of course it does. we have taught ourselves to have visible police. now you're just saying here we are. >> reporter: so what can police do? well, the fbi send out a bulletin telling officers to essentially be on alert, watch their own backs. but erin we have spoken to law enforcement who say that perhaps given this new threat during militaryization of police. >> as kyung pushes there's been a push to demilitarize police after the ferguson shooting that's one example. interesting whether that will be turned back in the light of this latest development. up front tonight, completely undetectable and surveillance. thought it was the nsa. now this is much more si

western europe. we have maybe 150. that threat is closer. it's more mixed in. but i think with the attacks over the last week in paris, like the attacks in ottawa, canada australia last year have proved is that the west is united in one thing, and that is a decade or so after 9/11, there's still no really coherent or successful strategy yet for dealing with islamic terror whether you're in the united states or europe. we have tried massive military invasions and that hasn't worked very well. we tried trillion dollar nation building. and that has been frustrating. we are currently engaged in much less expensive, assassination and campaigns in yemen and elsewhere, that hasn't been all that satisfying so far as we saw in paris. and we also pulled out of some places and created voids for terrorist groups to move in. while there are united to some extent in purpose, they also share this problem, which is they have not been able to solve this puzzle and it's clear that the problem continues to grow. >> they haven't solved the larger puzzle but what about a week later solving what happened there. are they any closer to knowing who exactly is responsible? >> when it com

as it changes, with western involvement, recruitment for the group is on the rise and governments fear attacks at home. like the bloody stand off that took place in sydney australia, a gunman held 10 hostage in a cafe in a 16 hour siege. at one point forcing them to hold up a black banner similar to i.s.i.l.'s and others that has the sher harda, the muslim declaration of faith written in arabic calligraphy. three, including the gunman were killed. >> you don't have a chance to identify them until we do the preparatory work because you use surveillance they'll probably do a few dry runs. >> reporter: law enforce. can't stop someone thinking violently thoughts about identifying future people undertaking the attacks is difficult >>> france has the second largest muslim population in western europe making up 7.5% of the country. most come from north africa, algeria algeria. muslims and france condemned the attacks, many report a double standard in french society, where the government bans religious symbols in schools, but defend what the community sees as religious hate speech and others point out double standard in the global community. the same danish newspaper tha

western countries to attack their own targets at home. you saw some attacking canada, you saw attempted attacks and hostage taking in australia.om the u.s. perspective, the u.s. views it as a pretty good bead on the very few from u.s. have gone to iraq and syria. even though these two brothers were on the no-fly list they're worried there are plenty of others out there who are inspired, who can get into the united states without a visa to come from western europe. >> ifill: what is it about yemen? you were there in 2010, reporting for us. at the time, there was some question about whether it was a hot bed for jihaddism, and i'm wondering whether it is again. >> yes. -- yes and yes. i went to try to figure out why it is considered a hot bed. senior officials say yemen is the greatest threat to american security out there. i was stunned because that was not the thinking in early 2010. the reasons are both his historic and today. historically, yemenis have punched above their weight. then when what you had was the formation within yemen of sawed yand yemeni branches combine to create the al quaida-arabian peninsula. the saudis ar

western centers. it's paris yesterday day before london drummer killed in cold blood with hatchets and machetes the attack in ottawa. the attack is sydney, australiafact is that the threats are coming home and they are going to come home to this country. this is where the united states needs to exercise leadership. not just that the law enforcement level but at the broader strategic level. this is not a law enforcement problem. and we can't ever hope to solve it with a law enforcement approach. >> is president obama sort a casual observer? i guess that's a poor description as he watches what's goes on in france. this is france's business. this is their search, their manhunt. it happened on their territory how does he show leadership in the world when this did happen some place else what do you want from him. >> in terms of this particular affair that may be true. we already have information that at least one of these two brothers may have been trained in yemen i think intelligence services believe a number of europeans and americans fighting with isis now in syria and iraq numbers in the thousands, so, this could simply be the tip of the iceberg.
