[laughter] >> there is one individual that did try after september 11 from algeria to come to floridas that that is probably what was a part of a. kennedy: it's not a reason enough to build a 5500-mile long wall. i don't necessarily think so. so i've been saying it on the show, the economic protectionism and isolationism is a recipe for disaster and it's going to kill our economy, forget gdp growth, we are going in the sewer which is where the mind of bernie sanders is already. perhaps that's why i like him. he is nipping hill reads well shod heels, he's now seven points behind her. and i think that they all my and bernie sanders says that this crowd, this momentum is building in places like iowa is more pro than anti-hillary. >> what you say? well, i think that the best he might do is get people to look critically at hillary. but he sticks to his principles, he because he's not going to be able to raise all that money that he needs to win. so he will be the key candidate at best to i said a few months ago that he is the last rand paul. he sticks to what he believes in, that is why yo

in 2011, revolution spreads through the arab world from bahrain to algeria to yemen.ext in a very unlikely place, libya. citizens there live under one of the longest-ruling dictators in the world, colonel moammar gadhafi, who's held power for 42 years. >> libya was one of those countries people never imagined it would see the revolution spread to. because gadhafi was so in control. but i'm a revolution junkie, and it succeeded in tunisia. it succeeded in egypt. i wanted it to succeed everywhere. >> for decades gadhafi was one of the world's most eccentric leaders, known for his flamboyant outfits and his all-female bodyguards. but he was also an open supporter of international terrorism, with links to the lockerbie bombers, the i.r.a., and other militant groups. >> he kept libya under very, very tight wraps. he would disappear people. there was no freedom of any kind. massacres in prison. so he was a horrendous, horrible, brutal dictator. >> anyone who spoke out against him at all would be arrested immediately, sometimes tortured, sometimes killed. >> tracy shelton is

these people have come from algeria, turkey, this is a familiar theme to the europeans. this provokes and almost identical response in the european right that immigration from latin american countries, mostly mexico, does in the united states. >> is there validity to the concerns in hungary. according to the united nations recent physician, more than 70% of the refugees arriving in europe are actually men, even though we see a lot of pictures of women and children. the a.p. reports that at least one of them was a commander in the free syrian army, which you know the u.s. considers part of the moderate opposition. that would prevent an al-nusra fighter from pretending he is an asylum seeker. >> unfortunately not, the issue is if someone is a syrian refugee from raqqa, how are we going to check paperwork? we can't go to raqqa and get a cope of his birth certificate. if he is from raqqa, he is who he says he is. we can't extinguish between a legitimate refugee fleeing the islamic state legitimately and maybe left his wife and children somewhere safe in syria so he could get

james: some members would like to, especially with venezuela and algeria. the big problem is iran . it was to increase production. they have to get other members to agree to cut. and of course, saudi arabia -- it is the only member that could realistically cut venezuela, and they won't do it. saudi arabia is showing no signs of changing strategy. the next step is opec trying to agree with other producers, so they don't lose too much market share? james: that is an idea that has been around for a while. they had talks last year back in november, when they first announced their new strategy. again, nothing has really happened since then. they managed to get russia and mexico in again. iran saying it is going to increase production. francine: thank you so much. tech giant google has teamed up with the french drugmaker, aiming to find new ways to tackle diabetes. nejra is here with the details -- what are we expecting? ejra: they are trying come up with a new way of managing diabetes. google says it is moving about moving from the reactive to the proactive. a n

and you're the ukraine, mali, algeria, palestine.ives you a sense there is going to be a split between economic migration and war-torn migration. here is what merkel said last night in a press conference. she said if europe fails on this question of refugees, its close association with the rights of citizens, threatens to fall apart. europe as a whole must move on this. the current situation is not satisfactory. 340,000ve been some syngenta applications are refugee applications already in the first half of this year. merkel wants to see action. on plans to present a plan september 24. guy: the story is getting bigger on a daily basis. looking at the numbers on the screen for macedonia. more and more people are boarding trains and vehicles to get to the countries you have a naming. the problem is you have a very emotive response to it. angela merkel saying that the germans should welcome them. how do you deal with the politics? is having a very difficult time. in some cases, she is being condemned by her critics saying she has not bee

they felt like they were taking algeria, tunishia an come on around north africa in the middle east, they were on their way to that world caliphate they were promising they would have. the same world caliphate that the former advisor to the secretary of homeland security here in the united states tweeted out, after another american had his head cut off, that the international caliphate was inevitable, americans just needed to get used to the idea. the man that i'd been warning was a muslim brother and was a top advisor in this administration and needed to be out. finally after he made it clear to even the most dense in this administration that he was in favor of an international caliphate, finally they had to let him finish his term and letting go by retiring. well, the president's still getting that kind of advice. and the truth is that it is a disaster. it has done so much damage to this country. so those who say this is a great deal are the same people that said we had to remove gaddafi, created massive instability, created a situation where you have so many deaths, as people try

we've seen al qaeda groups in algeria target major facilities. >> they have taken over certain oil facilities, especially in the northern parts of iraq, most are in the south, if we rout them or if somebody routs them in the north, could they do the scorched earth policy and just blow everything up and say the hell with you, if you're going to chase us out of here, we'll ruin your assets. >> we have seen them target key infrastructure, try to destroy a refinery. there is always a risk. i would like to saudi. there were reports of a security incident around a facility. there are plenty of exposed energy infrastructure in the middle east. if they decide to change their focus, that could be very significant for the oil markets. >> i want to know what's behind the trade today. do you think it is because of what's going on in syria or do you think it is thee ia inventory reports and is the path to $50 or $60, does that have to include geopolitical? >> we think it's mainly inventory numbers and the technical factors mentioned earlier. but the path to $50, $60 is signs that u.s. production is rollin

ambassador to syria and algeria and also a retired colonel and author of "game changers: going locale lent extremists." thank you, gentlemen, for joining me. mr. ambassador, first to you. what do you think russia's short game and long game here is strategically speaking? >> i'm not sure the russians have a long game. i think their short term is to bolster the assad government, which has been retreating on the ground throughout calendar year 2015. his forces are losing slowly but surely a war of attrition and the russians are there to bolster him to prevent his fall. >> white house says this wasn't a total surprise. we've seen the russian presence ramping up in syria. what do you say? >> i think what's interesting is that the russians suddenly hurried their forces in, really in the space of just a couple of weeks. it wasn't a long, slow, steady buildup. they rushed them in. that tells me that the assad regime must have been weakening very quickly and they needed to act fast. >> lieutenant colonel, i had major general spider mashged ma little while ago. he says a potential -- the u.s.
