catherine? >> reporter: well, thank you, andrea.just received this statement from the fbi that says there is sufficient forensic evidence to conclude north korea was responsible for the cyber attack on sony, and while not exhaustive, three pieces of evidence are provided in the statement. technical analysis of the data deleted in the attack, according to the fbi, has links to malware that north korea has used in the past. there were also similarities in code, encryption and data deletion methods. there was significant overlap between several ip or internet protocol addresses that were hard coded kind of like a dna into the malware which was consistent with north korea. and the sony incident bears striking similarities to a cyber attack last year against south korean banks and media outlets. this morning the obama administration is weighing its response to the cyber attack on sony, and a member of the house homeland security committee who oversees cyber investigations told "fox & friends" that the u.s. must find the right balance. >>

a pleasure to have catherine bluff with us.he is a research associate at the global apollo -- public policy institute. she is a public international lawyer and has worked in the area of gender-based violence in both germany and latin america. i would like to start out with a quick tour and ask each of you to give us a snapshot of the situations of women in the regions that you know best. i will start in the middle east with you, martina. certainly, it is the region that malala comes from, and it has produced many graphic images recently of gender-based violence. give us a picture. >> the region are usually working is the so-called arab world, north africa and the middle east. i think it is important to mention that there are big differences when it comes to talking about women between these countries. the media is by far the most progressive country, a legal situation where women are almost legal. they are very free. they have chances in the labor market to work. whereher is saudi arabia women are not even allowed to drive a ca

bill: thank you, catherine. catherine herridge in washington. be.u know, president obama's going to hold a news conference shortly before departing on his 17-day vacation in hawaii which is his tradition with his family, and there are a lot of issues that the president will no doubt be asked about at this news conference. and the bombshell agreement with cuba this week, also the cyber attack against sony and what the real white house response is going to be. chris stirewalt joins me now, so no doubt, i think you're going to hear a lot of questions today about the white house's response which has been very tepid so far in terms of what they really think should happen with this sony situation, chris. >> well, for a president and an administration that have highly prized and long prietzed as a political operation the desire the control messages and dominate news cycles even in 15 or 20-minute increments, really trying to stay ahead of the game, for these folks and for the president himself the fact that this sony hack and north korea's activities have

sean. >> catherine, thank you.e with reaction fox news strategic analyst lieutenant colonel ralph peters. why don't we take a baseball bat and wake up every sleeping terrorist and terrorist cell in america and say america's a bad country, this is what we did. why would we ever do this? >> well, first of all, doing it at this time, sean, amounts to nothing less than providing aid and comfort to the enemy. there is no practical value, practical utility, practical advantage gained by releasing this report. the only people that gain are the terrorists who can now rev up the propaganda machine again. it betrays the trust of our allies who helped us in the raw and tumultuous days, confused days, after 9/11. why do it now? i think the democrats -- the obama administratioadministrati so badly that they will do anything to remind us how evil george bush was. george bush, face it, he was responsible for the crucifixion of christ, black death, holocaust, got it. but it's over. dianne feinstein, two things are happening, one,

chief intelligence correspondent catherine herridge joins us. catherine, first of all this alert.t about that? >> what's missing in the conversation is this is in fact a self-inflicted terror alert. if the report had not been released. the alert that it could provoke violence would not be necessary. >> released by the democrats on the senate committee as well as support of the obama administration sort of mixed in the administration. >> it's pretty clear the white house supported it. >> okay. what's in the report? >> the senate report breaks down to four findings. i apologize for making it so simplistic. this is the way you have to do it. no valuable intelligence from the cia program. also, it alleges the cia mislead congress and the executive branch and the american people about the quality of the information they were getting. that it was grossly mismanaged like a bad startup operation. and that finally, the program was more brutal than had been represented to congress and to the public. >> all right. was there a product from the interrogation or not? i know one side said no and

catherine, what do you know? >> thank you, tucker. the language in this fbi statement is carefully crafted. and while stating there's enough evidence to blame north korea, it stopped short of saying they actually executed the attacks. the technical analysis of the deleted data does show links to malware north korea has used in the past. there's also significant overlap between several i.p. or internet protocol addresses and north korean entities. the sony hack bears striking similarities to an attack last year against south korean banks that left many customers unable to withdraw money from their atms. in a statement the bureau said "north korea's actions were intended to inflict significant harm on a u.s. business and suppress the right of american citizens to express themselves." and the president went further today stating publicly, when intelligence officials had maintained privately that the u.s. must make it a priority to develop rules and standards for cyber warfare because being on the defensive is a losing strategy. >> more b

you know, you saw the cases that catherine herridge mentioned.u know, there is others we don't know. about those are only the ones that we actually know about. that we have specific knowledge of. we also know there are thousands of europeans that are fighting alongside isis and syria. this is a threat to us. because we have to assume that if they have the motivation to go over there to be trained and to fight when they come back here, they have to be a threat to us. now, the fbi and others doing all they can to monitor and watch them. when they come back -- there is others that we don't know about and also had a case last year of someone that the government didn't know was in syria and then when he ended up being killed in a car bombing, we realized back and forth twice and had not been spotted by the u.s. so, again, in many ways, it's a needle in the hay stack. and we have to watch it and watch it as carefully as we can. >> all right. i understand the difficulty when we don't know it. i mean we don't know if somebody has gone over and joined isi
