so more rain is expected for algeria, then there is a spot of severe weather over eastern portions of europe. temperatures are going to be quite high across the east. that's it for me now. up next is your three-day forecast. >> we have been showing you scenes of in and around tokyo enjoying the cherry blossoms over the past few weeks. we would like to take you to osaka, western japan where thousandnds of people have gathereded at the japan mind to envoy the view. for over 130 years, the agency that produces japan's coins has opened its grounds to the public for one week when cherry trees are in bloom. more than 800 people were there when the gates opened for the first day this year. they were able to see 350 trees of 133 varieties. the mint has selected one variety as the b blossom of the year. >> translator: it's great. so many varieties. >> translator: they were worth seeing. >> officials at the mint say the grounds will be open through april 14, and they expect more than 600,000 visitors. visitors to osaka might want toú molly: you are watching "france 24." it is time for an update

benhammou: when you have global view on this phenomenon, as we know we have in the region -- 1000 from algeria5,200 foreign terrorist fighter from tunisia, and when we move to the north in europe, we have 1,700 from france, 815 from belgium, so we have a very clear idea of the nationality and where these terrorists, from where they are coming. scott: when it comes to fighting terror, some have argued that it's not the u.s., it's not the u.k., but that its morocco that perhaps has the right formula -- the formula for success in fighting terror -- is that true? dr. benhammou: i think that on casablanca on may 2003, have developed a very good experience. scott: the 2003 casablanca attacks were a wake-up call. 12 islamic extremist suicide bombers killed 33 people. tens of thousands of moroccans responded with marching banners that said "say no to terrorism." within a year, 2000 had been arrested in connection with the attacks. dr. benhammou: we know more about these terrorist groups, the networking, how they greet and look for the founding. the second pillar was to manage the religious spectrum, o

>> maybe 2,000. >> we have algeria as well. >> algeria is a huge problem because of the rekrurts.g into algeria and tunisia. >> you don't have to tell the french that. now, let's take a look. we're focusing on brussels, worried about france. here we go. let's connect these -- yeah, let me go back here. yeah. let me go back. let me go back. >> going to "x" out. >> okay. i'm going to get this. all right. there we go. so here we are, we have belgium. we have belgium and we have france. they've got to start communicating. >> oh, the countries, security forces, absolutely. what happened after the past attacks they shot down the border, they changed the freedom of movement thing. guys, we have to look after our people because we're not communicating, we're not getting the intelligence from our partners in europe. >> they do not need command and control of the go sign from the caliphate. they're on their own. >> their're -- they're getting it on the internet. they have dabiq magazine telling them how to make bombs. >> how many do we have here? >> 500, 600 guys that they know of. but we k

andindonesia, trinidad algeria. they have less to offer the marketplace.ully we have seen the bottom of the oil .arket we are not largely exposed to the oil market. those three elements will begin to supply a floor in the market. alix: what is the minimum margin you are happy with? that is clearly under discussion. as i said before, we contracted at 2.25 all the way up to 350. clearly some of the contract talks it of come out recently, -- we don't think the contracts really clear the marketplace. that is a matter of debate right now serious with the market rushing to sign long-term contracts, it gives us time to sort out for we want to be on that continuum. focus -- we'rey focused on the margin. have sold seven cargoes in the marketplace so far, all profitable at a two dollars. that is a function of the base price. right now we have a relatively press shipping market. at four dollars we make money. it's unlikely that price would induce other people to build facilities like shin near -- niere.he there's an old adage, there's no better cure for low prices. i

nigeria, they tied up a prison ship full of chinese prisoners to work on projects in algeria. way andican international way, the european american way, and american companies do this regularly and africa, don't get much credit for it but the countries do. in addition to working in the region, they do things that are helpful. electrifying villages, building roads, providing schools. there's many examples of individual american companies on the continent of africa doing great things. n.g.o.'s,with sometimes not. that mostly apart from our government. what i would like to see is a closer -- i would like to see the united states get credit for that. these are american companies doing good things. but in order to do that, we need the secretary of commerce who has done great work, and i admire her greatly. but we need more of that connection around the national security counsel table to figure out how we do that. we did the marshall plan wants. it would be very hard to do today. but something like that has to happen. it has to happen not only on a national scale, but an internationa

we are looking at places like libya and algeria where they are starting to set up other outposts. the second level not equally important is to undermine the terrorist network and that is a lot of what we talked about today to be clearly, i agree with what i think the panel said that we need to be a lot more aggressive. it is outrageous to me that they are sharing communication transatlantic lay but not within europe. they have sort of pre-9/11 problems have not worked through. i believe we are very vulnerable because it is far more so than a refugee program to me being a lot more aggressive with our posture. that is obviously something we have a lot of work to do i want to get back with my final few minutes the efforts which i now realize mean so many different things to so many different people so let me just say what i think it means. it is not talking about the work of law enforcement but the other efforts going on to stop people from falling prey because i am concerned about what is happening in the field of battle. the field of battle for network terrorists. also homegrown ra

from afghanistan to algeria. the point i'm making is today basically every country in the continent all the way from the atlantic to the red sea in some form of link or sympathizers of the daesh. so in other words we're talking about the so-called caliphate without borders and throughout africa if you have the opportunity try to read that report. and general ward, i think, will go into some details. so, again, the threat is growing by day. okay. and this week as you well know right here in washington there is a summit on nuclear security. and there are representatives from all over the world, from africa, europe, asia and so on, to deal also with the issue of the nuclear terrorism. so it's only a matter of time. it's not if but when and where that we will -- also in nuclear terrorist incident and catastrophe. and we have to be concerned even according to the reports about europe we know that the daesh and some intentions to target the nuclear facilities and so on and maybe explode a dirty bomb. so with this grim

we are looking at places like libya and algeria where they are starting to set up other outposts. level not equally important is to undermine the terrorist network and that is a lot of what we talked about today to be clearly, i agree with what i think the panel said that we need to be a lot more aggressive. it is outrageous to me that they are sharing communication transatlantic lay but not within europe. they have sort of pre-9/11 problems have not worked through. i believe we are very vulnerable acause it is far more so than being aprogram to me lot more aggressive with our posture. that is obviously something we have a lot of work to do i want to get back with my final few nowtes the efforts which i realize mean so many different things to so many different people so let me just say what i think it means. the work talking about of law enforcement but the other people going on to stop from falling prey because i am concerned about what is happening in the field of battle. the field of battle for network terrorists. radicalization right here at home. in and i do agree as was sai

but what we have done poorly is broadcast those losses from afghanistan and algeria and in that comesback to the bureaucracy question. it is tied the bureaucratize. if brothers there are limitations to his strategy of the messaging. and then to be described with but they are not losing the upper go and then until they are losing and they refuse to groceryman . >> i agree entirely. but the potential of social media to carry out attacks. 50 look back how they convince boko haram that part of that story is convincing people contrary to facts on the ground alternately as they start to lose more than double hit them double hard. that is why we need to think getting our messaging right. we start to lose the caliphate we put that with the message that is effective. state back one thing we haven't touched on his real security with china budget colleagues in the last week at an opportunity to be as some of the most beautiful and to comfortable trains of i f ridden non in quite a while. . . it's a real compared to the air is going to be far less. we've always had had an open system is due almos

with the commencement of armed forces in algeria, and other conflict elsewhere, forced france to reconsider its options. in 1958, charles de gaulle spearheaded the enactment of a new constitution to address the crisis. french territories were offered two choices. accept the constitution the provided junior partnership in a french community, or reject the constitution in favor of immediate independence. in an empire-wide referendum, only guinea chose independence. a map of guinea. i will show you a few slides photographed from the referendum campaign. i don't think people in the back can see, but there is a motorcade. motorcyclists in the front and a convertible with charles de apparentlyding and the national leader sitting by his side. lined with the had a political party that branches and most of the territories of french west and equatorial africa, and spearheaded the no vote rejecting partnership in guinea. in other territories, the usually supported the yes vote. degalhe gall s -- when le -- when de gaulle saw this welcome, he thought things were going his way. he had no idea this was j

algeria. the american way, the international way -- the european and american way -- and american companies do this regularly in africa, don't get much credit for it. at least the united states doesn't. the countries do. in addition to working in the region, they do things that are helpful. electrifying villages, building roads, providing schools. and there's many, many examples of individual american companies on the continent of africa doing great things. sometimes with ngos, sometimes not. but mostly apart from our government. and what i'd like to see is i'd like to see a closer -- i'd like to see the united states get credit for that. these are american companies doing good things. but in order to do that, i think we need, you know, the secretary of commerce who's doing -- has done great work, i admire her greatly, but we need more of that connection around the national security council table to figure out how do we do that? how do we project that? we did the marshall plan once. it would b

losses they experienced in the sahel region, in afghanistan come in algeria with are entitled to an entire branch got wiped out and osha. a lot of that complexity proxy question, sometimes when you look at our messaging apparatus, for some part is highly bureaucratized, how you'd even have to tweak approved the others t that are limitations wh you can't go beyond their immediate theater which hinders the strategy of our messaging. >> but again messaging is all about reality and the relatives that caliphate remains. sure, we've been doubling away at it. as has been described, the network is growing. they have gone from inspiring to directing or so the reality is that are not losing yet. they haven't lost. they have not lost yet. i would argue until they are overly losing where the rail is such bill continue to inspire and direct to grow spent i agree entirely but i would add one thing. ultimately, isis as understood in particular the potential of social media to mobilize people to carry out attacks. part of that is image of strength. they have and have had more of an image of strength than

games, the social -- the soviet union offered incentives to france, israel, japan, pakistan, and algeriao remain neutral. in the 1980 game, the soviet union detonated three nuclear weapons east of japan to intimidate the japanese government into neutrality. in the 1984 game, the soviet union perceived that it would be impossible to keep japan that neutral just by diplomatic and political pressure into a threat. so they launched a large-scale air attack on japan. the scenario in the three-year games in 1985 and 1987 was more interesting. in these games, japan went back-and-forth between the united states and soviet union. during the first week of hostilities, the united states conducted air operations in japan using u.s. and japanese bases against the soviet union. when moscow protested that this was not in keeping with japan's professed neutrality, the japanese government condemned the united states actions and band the future use of japanese soil as a base for u.s. attacks on soviet forces. but then, japan decided to take damaged u.s. aircraft carriers on ports, not a defensive action,

difference we believe the bathroom, contributes to them over there and the third initiative is section algeria and street inspector of the programs the last few years we've been thankful to your support for many years the labor apprenticeship program and many of the apprentices and many have gone on to serve other departments some outside of the city the last few years we launched a gardening arborist program and both of those are doing prohibit and asking to expand our programs to increase the numbers of stationary engineers to go through the practice at building inspection program the special engineer program will allow participants to go and visit many of our classes in particular and many of the structures that we have to maintain and need prevent work on the inspector program as you may know not been able to keep up with the construction in making sure we providing thorough inspection and making sure when contractors working the right-of-way they are doing things correctly and just having the resources to dispatch when we get those calls those are fee jason part of our program we believe

that is one level, obviously where looking at places like libya, algeria and others were were startingto set up other outposts. the second is to undermine the terrorist network, this is a lot of what we talked about today which could be clearly, i agree with the panel that we need to be a lot more aggressive, holding to task our european partners that they are sharing communication transit clinically but not within europe, and even within their countries they have pre-911 problems that they have not worked through pretty clearly there's more work to do and i believe that we are very vulnerable because the visa waiver program. far more so then the refugee program which takes a year or two years, these waiver program to me something we should be a lot more aggressive with our posture. i think that obviously we have a lot of work to do. i want to get back in my final few minutes, the efforts which i now realize, let me just say that it's not talking about the law-enforcement but the other efforts going on to stop people from falling prey. if i look again, i'm concerned about what's happen

e are talking about libya, tunisia, algeria. now, it is going down further in sub sahara africa in nigeria. even in central africa and the eastern congo it is becoming apparent. my question is this -- it was developed without resources. they have to get their resources from other places. that being the case, what is happening right now i think if e say we had a strategy to contain isil, that the strategy did not work. we talk about our troops, what they are doing up there, the training programs, but what about these new areas? ow can we resource them? sec. carter: i will get tarted, but the chairman has been working on this. you are right, we have seen -- i am not familiar with the specific testimony but i'm sure it is absolutely right. you also know africa extremely well, senator. there are two things going on, one is a rebranding of existing extremist groups. the other is newly inspired or newly funded nucleus, both of those are a concern. nd wouldn't say containment, i would say destruction of isil whatever it emerges is the

for example in nigeria, they tied up a prison ship full of chinese prisoners to work on projects in algeriaandican international way, the european american way, and american companies do this regularly and africa, don't get much credit for it but the countries do. in addition to working in the region, they do things that are helpful. electrifying villages, building roads, providing schools. there's many examples of individual american companies on the continent of africa doing great things. n.g.o.'s,with sometimes not. that mostly apart from our government. what i would like to see is a closer -- i would like to see the united states get credit for that. these are american companies doing good things. but in order to do that, we need the secretary of commerce who has done great work, and i admire her greatly. but we need more of that connection around the national security counsel table to figure out how we do that. we did the marshall plan wants. it would be very hard to do today. but something like that has to happen. it has to happen not only on a national scale, but an international sca

obviously we look at places like libya and algeria far-flung or they are starting to set up other outposts. the second level, not equally important is to start to understand the terrorist number. this is a lot of what we talked about today, which to me clearly i agree with what i think we need to be a lot more aggressive, holding european partners. it is outrageous to me they are sharing communication transatlantic leave but not within europe. even within the countries they have pre-9/11 problems they have to work through. clearly there's a lot more work to do and i believe we are very vulnerable because of the visa waiver program, far more so than a refugee program which takes a year to two years. the visa waiver program i think it's obviously something we have a lot of work to do. i want to get back to my final few minutes the first which i now realize that so many different things to so many different people. let me say what's not talking abt the work of law enforcement, but the other efforts going on to stop people from falling prey because if i look again concerned about what's happen

we're talking about eastern citizens, libya, tunisia, algeria. but now it's going down further. it's in sub sahara africa. we're talking about somalia. we're talking about nigeria. and i have friends who say that even in the central africa republic and the eastern congo it's becoming apparent. now, my question is this. when we've developed africa to start with, it was developed without resources. they have to get their resources from ucom and other sources. and that being the case, it's -- what is happening right now -- i think if we say we had a strategy to contain isil that the strategy didn't work, that we are not containing isil. so, we're talking about our troops, what they're doing up there and the train-and-equip programs in syria and iraq, but what about these new areas that they're going into now? how are we going to be able to resource should we have to? what are your thoughts about that? >> i'll give a start and then the chairman's been working on this very much also. you're absolutely right. we have seen, and director clapper -- i'm not familiar with the specific tes

moroccan foreign fighters in syria and iraq. 495 was killed. 217 from morocco, but we have 1,000 from algeria and we have 5,200 from tunisia, and i can move on. if we go just to the north, you have 1,700 from france, foreign fighters coming from france. and you have 815 from belgium. 415 from germany. 500 from uk, even sweden 120. i can go around to a lot of other countries because what we know today daesh, for the first time this terrorist group had important numbers in the terrorist groups and today is around 45,000 foreign fighters. what we observe last month, that more than 4,000 are bad from syria and iraq to libya. we know also that a lot of young people are from the region, who have the opportunity to move to syria and iraq, and now to libya. they have today the capability. they have all what they need as many and they have weapons. so, how we can face this global enemy would only national policies. it would be very difficult, facing a global enemy, we need global responses and we need global strategy. the second element is transnational organized crime and i think in this issue, we ta
