he transported into belgium, who for the belgium populace which was beleaguered. initially, no one anticipated that this humanitarian mission would last more than a few months. the kaiser of germany famously predicted that the war would be over by christmas. instead, it generated into a gruesome stalemate on the western front. over's emergency relief for taking turned into an elaborate enterprise without precedent in history. an organized rescue of an entire nation of starvation. within a few months, over and his team of mostly american volunteers built the crv into a remarkable organization. it was called a piratical state organized for benevolence. it had its own flag, its own fleet. it negotiated treaties with the war european powers. its leader, hoover enjoyed formal diplomatic immunity and traveled freely through enemy lines. the only american citizen permitted to do so or the entire war. the tasks for relief in belgium were daunting. first, it had to raise money throughout the world. initially through charitable appeals. but as the war went on, subsidies fro

send it t belgium, which was partially occupied by german. the substance in fact, the belgians who had centuries old position÷ didn't have the to leave during the war. but they would take the sacks and reweave them into other designs. and this one was a gift of president wilson and actually a likeness of wilson because it was around the edge to decnbate. it's an amazing example of what people will do in war when they're limited in the materials that they're available to them and yet they have a skill and they want to exercise that zv skill. >> this is the blind room in this house. one of the important stories in this room is the hybrids are with which the american prem(eu(j held by the leaders of world certainly by the end of world war i. there are many gifts in this room, which are an acknowledgment ofzv wilson's important role in by the end of world war i and the peace and÷ú the treaty and establishing it. today we -- we've seen so much more of world war ii and world war ii is in time, my own father was in the navy and world war ii. it also

simultaneous the nazis smashed across hollow, belgium, and luxembourg. -- holland, belgium, and luxembourg was made by nazi cameramen at the request of the german propaganda minister. he showed this symphony of devastation to nations in devastation to nations in europe and south america to frighten them into surrender. you will observe that here in holland for example, not one german soldier is killed or wounded, or even suffers a fractured ankle in an avalanche of destruction. for dr. goebel is the showman, and he values the mythical invincibility of the nazis, or that was his propaganda until britain refused to surrender to the armada, and until the russians slaughtered over a million of invincibles. [bombs] to the now familiar recipe of the blitz were added parachute troops who swarmed down upon dutch cities and airfields and further disrupted their defense. men had discussed that most armies had experimented with this new dimension in mobile warfare, but the nazis were the first to use parachutes in force. guns and ammunition sailed down in special parachutes and were assembled quickly

on may 9, hitler invaded holland and belgium. and these nations, too, minded their own business and spoke softly, but hitler struck at them, again without warning, because he had decided the battle with france could best be won by outflanking the maginot line. he had no problem with these nations. they were merely convenient roads to france. simultaneously, the nazis smashed across holland, belgium, and luxembourg. this pictorial record you are watching was made by nazi of josephat the order goebbels, the german propaganda minister. he showed this symphony of devastation to nations in europe and south america to frighten them into surrender. you will observe that here in holland, for example, not one german soldier is killed or wounded, or even suffers a fractured ankle in an avalanche of destruction. for dr. goebbels is a showman, and he values the mythical invincibility of the nazis, or that was his propaganda until britain refused to surrender to the armada and until the russians slaughtered over a million of "invincibles."

that's fine. >> in belgium they just cut to the chase. they call this room the sex room. and it was a very surprisingly lovely looking room, very large bathroom, very nice lighting in the bedroom, large-sized bed, big-sized bed, very neatly folded towels on the bed. and a little shocking, packets of condoms on the towels. >> the prisoners have a right to have private visit, but it's not only a sexual visit. prisoner can ask his father or his mother or his sister but mostly it is used as a sex room. >> so what's going on now, phillip? what are you preparing for? >> to visit my wife intimately, you know? very nice. >> and the banana? >> to get power. >> happy? excited? >> happy, yeah, yeah, yeah. >> the things human need, you know. and if you love someone, you need your sex with her, you need to be alone for two hours, you know? >> coming up -- >> i want to fight with the commando, the ex-commando. they are scared. i know this. >> burack ersen seeks justice. >>> and later -- >> no. >> basically you threw somebody off the bridge and choked somebody to death? >> yes. >> a sho

some muslim person, let's say born in belgium. muslims born in belgium.ng in his life. he's muslim and a belgium who is catholic or christian or whatever he or she is subject to the same level of vetting. you won't do anything different with this one person who is muslim that lived in belgium all his life? >> right. if they're born in belgium. if you're going into belgium or france or somewhere else from a third country, i mean, i guess a bigger issue here that we need to talk about is the fact that europe is letting us down. they are letting us down with their porous borders and letting us down -- angela merkel gets on the front of "time" magazine as person of the year last year for basically an extraordinarily reckless policy that makes everybody feel good but allows refugees that just aren't processed properly to flood into europe. and now they're able to go across europe and commit acts of terror. i hope everybody felt good about that. >> most of them are just desperate people. do i need to say that before i state the reality? it will take a lot of ti

about 15 tabulators were on hand as the count reporting unit we are going to do is the town of belgium. wards one through three." 5 secs secs ozaukee county is one of 47 counties that has chosen to do the recount by hand.the process starts by counting the number absentee and traditional ballots and making sure the numbers match with what was recorded on election day.the ballots are then split and counted for each of the presidential candidates.up first this morning was the town of belgium. there was a discrepancy in the number of ballots by one. but when was said in done, the number of votes for both president elect trump and hillary clinton remained the same.the room was also filled with a couple of representatives with the trump, clinton, and stein campaigns. the are free to ask questions along the way and observe what the tabulators are doing close up.. ozaukee county had more than 54 and a half thousand ballots ca. the county clerks expects they will be hand counting those ballots until the deadline of 8pm on december 12. we'll be reporting on the progress of the recount all throug

natalie, you were telling me earlier that your family from belgium. that's true.he whole christmas market thing is something that you know a lot about, like a lot of people do, i suppose, in this country. they go over to europe and go to the markets, but you were telling me earlier that they do have barriers around some of the markets. they did last year, i haven't been over this year yet and i am running out of time, but at the start of this year, when the christmas markets run into the earlier part of january, that is when i was last over. they have big concrete blocks in the centre of brugge. it is a very beautiful town centre, and you are not allowed to drive through anyway, but they have put up big concrete blocks. is that a safety measure? i've to say my cousins, who are young and fearless, were scoffing at the idea that anybody would be fearful of such things in bruges. i thought, would be fearful of such things in bruges. ithought, 0k, would be fearful of such things in bruges. ithought, ok, you are would be fearful of such things in bruges. i thought, ok,

that would probably be france and belgium. reason for that emphasis is in part to meet criticism that perhaps more could have been done by security services to have prevented this attack. indeed, that has been the subject of some public to be. -- public debate. when you talk to the german public you do not hear a lot of anxiety about the fact he is still at large. people seem to be taking that in stride, perhaps because in other manhunts after those attacks in belgium or in france, it also took in some cases a number of weeks before all of the suspects had been found. i think in general, people are not in need of a great deal of reassurance on that point. brian: i want to talk about the survivors. we have heard from the first of them, a young italian couple celebrating their first anniversary in berlin. they are back home now, let's take a look at what they had to say. >> i saw lights and heard a loud crash. i found myself thrown to the ground because i was hit by the truck. i could not see anything. that was because of the bl

she once had a normal happy family life in belgium. but when her partner abandoned the family, her life fell apart. and it was islamists on social media who offered her a solution. they persuaded her to join them in syria luring her there with the prospect of community and support. now she managed to escape after nine months. but today her aim is to help prevent other young people from making the same mistake. correspondent: a convicted terrorist helps students avoid learning the hard way. >> the burka is a strict rule. even your eyes and hands have to be covered. you aren't allowed to speak to a man, even when there's a male member of your family there. to speak to another woman, you have to whisper into her ear. if your voice is audible, you'll be whipped. women are there for the household -- to take care of food and children. correspondent: laura passoni is on a mission to warn young people about joining so-called islamic state or "daesh." she managed to break away from daesh after nine months in syria with her young son. with the h

germany has not suffered a large scalia attack like in belgium and france, so the d developmen haveve caught people's attentio. i can say that much. trading in positive territory. european investors haven't let the attack get them down. our frankfurt correspondent has been tracking developments. the dax holding on the gains we saw earlier in the day. why, exactly? >> well, it looks like a lot of economic global factors simply outweighed the material but local terror event in berlin. lots of mergers and acquisitions activity going on here in germany, a 60 billion merger. the media firm from italy is currently being taken over from france and wants to increase its stake there. we did get various economic indicators today, much better than anticipated from philadelphia. the index, the retail sale index in britain looked better than anticipated. the bank of japan is more upbeat about next year. all of those factors were driving share prices today. also here in germany. >> it sounds like business as usual. thank you very much. to italy's banking crisis, the government wants to set up a new

germany spared such a large scale terror attack where it's happened in recent years in france and belgium and spain, people are saying it was really a question of when and not if. >> absolutely. germany has been spared so far, but there have been attempts to terror attacks in germany. very often people think that if a country applies a different policy, for example, the united states or france in the middle east region keeps a lower profile like germany, it will be spared from these attacks because it will be spared from, let's say, this vindictive attitude of terrorist organizations like the islamic state or al qaeda or whatever. we see we don't know if this was such a terror attack yet, but the pattern looks very much like it. we know whatever policies these countries apply, it doesn't spare them from the terror and violence from these organizations. it's irrelevant what kind of policies the countries applies. anchor: everybody is fair game? >> absolutely, absolutely. we should bear in mind that the jihadist ideology that has been commended, the spokesperson of the so-called islamic sta

laura: france and belgium have seen planned and sophisticated attacks. what is the threat level assessed at in germany? daveed: there is certainly a threat level. there are cells that have been broken up. this year you had a number of different attacks. the one that could have been worse was a suicide bombing outside a concert had 15 people injured, but it could have been much worse. there have been knife attacks on trains, axe attacks. it has been more low-level, with seemingly at least one plot that was going to be coordinated similar to what we saw in france and belgium. laura: daveed gartenstein-ross, thank you for joining us. a woman who was at the market tweeted an image of the crash after it hit. she joined me short time ago. i asked her what she saw. >> yes, good evening. we were very, very lucky, to be honest. we arrived in berlin earlier today, first time i have ever been. we were just looking forward to the festivities and what the christmas market has on offer. we were waiting, sort of looking around at the lights and waiting to go back to th

his brother led an active campaign for his release in belgium. and once it was known that he was released he came back to belgium and went by to syria. the brother was involved in terrorist activities and recruitment in belgium as well. this is how isis likes to ply its trade. you know, they know that the people that they're trying to recruit and cultivate, their contact list the people they would trust the most are those in their own immediate families. this is not surprising at all that his relatives had something to do with it. >> mike baker, we learned a little bit more from chris burns about this app, the telegram app. i was a little surprised by the numbers, 100 million users, it's got a strong encryption where the messages can be erased after their read and this is how they were communicating. what's happening online is one of the areas that is the most challenging and most immediate in terms of a concern. is there a way to effectively crack down on apps like this and so therefore crack down on the communication? >> well, i think it's more

it's believed the fishing boat from belgium overturned at 11 o'clock last night.ight hours later that one of the crew members was spotted by another boat, clinging to the hull. lucky to be alive? absolutely, yeah. i mean at this time of year, in the southern north sea, a water temperature about 9.5 degrees and the air temperature less than that. so yes, a significant risk in terms of hypothermia. but yeah, he's in the proper care of the hospital authorities at present. he was able to tell his rescuers that two of his fellow crew members were missing. prompting a major response. two lifeboats from ramsgate have been taking part in the search, which has also involved two divers and a doctor being flown in from belgium. the huge operation taking place around 17 miles off the coast from here. after several hours, a second crew member was found, showing signs of life. but later died in hospital. the search for the third man has now been called off for the day. although the coastguard says it's possible for people to survive in the water at this time of year for 15 hour

there are suggestions that there are barriers around the christmas markets in belgium and even birminghamt been to the birmingham christmas market in many yea rs. birmingham christmas market in many years. i'm not sure that that is necessarily a security measure, barriers tend to go up around any major event. it is very difficult to predict this, and i don't think that you can prepare for something like this. that's the way it works, it's unpredictable. people that do things like this deliberately aimed for it.

we have seen islamic terror attacks from paris, to belgium, to san bernardino. again and again, and we are going to stop it. let me state this as clearly as i can, i am going to keep radical islamic terrorists the hell out of our country.

we have seen major attacks in france and belgium.he report says isis is shifting from hard targets like employs to softer targets like the theater and cafes in press. 130 people died in that shooting and bombing rampage last year. senior foreign affairs greg palkot is live in london this evening. what else does this report indicate, greg? >> reporter: at the very least this is a tough new warnings from the european union's police and counterterrorism agency, just in time for the busy christmas season. official says the militants from the isis terror group, i'm quoting, have the ability and will to stage attacks in europe in the near future and could be going for the easier to hit civilian targets. there have been recent warnings about christmas shopping and there have been recent arrests. isis also, according to the officials in this study, say as they suffer losses on the battlefield, in iraq and syria, could end up being more dangerous domestically. we kacy a flow of foreign -- could see a flow of fighters coming bag, you refugees

that is if you have people who are coming into this country or they're going to belgium or germany orland or turkey and doing horrible things, there has to be an uprising within the muslim community that squashes this. people in this country who tend to have traditional american values aren't going to change the hearts and minds. if you have muslims in other countries who don't want to be categorized as bad people, who are kept from traveling to the western world, then they are the ones who have to work within their communities to change minds and also to stand up and say, we're not all like this. you don't hear that. they would be much more effective at what ultimately has to happen, which is keeping people from being drawn to this murderous lifestyle. >> that's why it's about targeting the radicalization. it's a long-term very complexç generational -- we have to put resources into to recruit some of the best american minds and to work with our all lies. we worked with the vietnamese to protect ourselves. then there was an influx of immigration. that was a good thing for our country

the trench warfare had really started with the stalemate on the western front in belgium and france. starting really in october of 1914 and would couldn't almost without let up until the summer of 19 -- spring, summer of 1918. it cut a almost 500 mile scar from the north sea in belgium, all the way to the swiss border through northeastern and eastern france. the trenches themselves allied in german, sometimes no man's land which was the space in between was measured in just a few hundred yards. and the trenches themselves were higher than a man stood tall. so as you can see, there's a fair amount of protection if you're walking through standing up. this gentlemen here, this soldier here with the -- who's on the firing step who's on kind of peering out over into no man's land, is watching the enemy. and every morning and every evening, they had what's called stand to. just in case the enemy tried to do something crazy at either dawn or dusk, everybody would assume their fighting positions just to be on the safe side. and so that's what he's doing here. now one thing you'll notice, he'

in the case of belgium, you have got six different police forces., there is a high degree of autonomy for different states. in the north—west for example where he had spent time, they would not necessarily share everything immediately with other states within the federal republic. so, it probably needs to be a bit more joined up. when it comes deporting failed asylum seekers, the problem was that tunisia didn't it initially agree that it was tunisian. he only delivered his passport couple of days. that's like they. you can't deport a stateless person. that was the problem. when they are travelling as refugees that come they are told to rip up your passport and travel documents. they can't deport you. yes. this particular character. we should not beat him up too much in terms of his operational security, he spent four yea rs operational security, he spent four years in prison. he is not that successful a escape artist. they did have six different aliases, many nationalities that he went by. it was extraordinary that it was known to be on the fringes

already tight in belgium, but authorities are not the countryhances, remains on high terror alert after attacks earlier this year killed 32 people and wounded more than 340. >> we are all a bit afraid because it could happen anywhere at any time. militaryar the police, everywhere. it doesn't really matter, we just have to go on. >> for cautions are being taken 6000 kilometers away. mayor bill de blasio has reassured new yorkers there is no specific threat to the big apple. policere is increased presence around the city just hours after the attack in berlin. here in france, tens of thousands of troops have been deployed to protect the public against the jihadist threat. france is still under a state of emergency following a string of terrorist attacks. alignedesident franÇois french soldiers are simple being stretched too thin. he's the man responsible for the armed forces, in charge of operations and the fighters of the government. he has rarely taken the war publicly but this is what he currently 1.77% of gdp. goal manuel valls would get on board for. >> protecting the french people is

>> phil, paul and i spent a lot of time tracking one of the assailants from the bataclan off into belgium and brussels, and the notion was that isis was trying to put higher ups in charge of operations, getting them to do things. does this smack of that at all? the use of the aliases. the ability to get away where they need such a broad perimeter so quickly? >> not to me yet. you have to think about this as two types of operations. the first is essentially controlled operations like 9/11. we saw some flavor of that in the operations in belgium and france, where a central, what we call external operations in isis is not only inspiring but bringing people into places like syria to train them. i think there's a middle ground between that and a true home grown terrorist. that is a cell in germany that had inspiration, maybe some kind of activity with isis. but that plots on its own. this plot was relatively basic. the outlines of this appear to me to suggest that somebody just hijacked a truck and drove it into an open space. not a lot of preparation. not a lot of training. just one more comm
