you say that there was news broken prosecute testimony of the chairman of centcom.bout what's aping and the approach to iran from the if united states. >> yeah. well, a couple things. first of all, we have to congratulate centr -- centing com and our military capability in shutting down the iranian-backed militias that have been attacking our bases in iraq and syria. after the february 2nd and february 7th attack, 85 targets hit and, obviously, the leader of the iraqi-backed militia, that shut 'em down. they've been shut down for over a month, so good news there. but in dealing with the houthis, because we've been out of yemen for years. we're still in iraq and syria, and we don't have the visibility in yemen that we used to have. he had testified that to really stop the houthis from taking it from just degrade them to stop them, we have to impose costs on iran. and that is something we've all been talking about here with you, maria, and others. iran is the center of gravity here, and you have to put their assets at risk. no one here to include the centcom commander

uh, we are now in the information center, centcom. whoever is comfortable voting in the traditional wayditionally visit a polling station, so here this is an additional channel, which just for those who are comfortable with it, makes it a little easier, it seems to me that this will attract young people, young people will be interested in this, it’s clear that now all yes, of course, the voting procedure itself is very simple, so i hope yes, that this is just for those who for some reason were uncomfortable visiting. electronic form, and why did they decide to divide the election commission will be able to do this in here are 28 regions and moscow, why are two being held in parallel? moscow was the first to generally start voting electronically, so the federal platform in this sense already gives such opportunities for all other regions, as if for all other regions, you you know, i remember in 1919, when all this was just being introduced, how much talk there was, now it’s generally becoming a reality, it’s really convenient, reliable. deposit - the best interest up to 16% per annum in

the results of the elections, which took place from march 15 to 17, were approved today by centcom. after summing up the final results, the head of state addressed the citizens of the country. he noted that the past campaign was intense and extremely responsible, and that every vote was important, regardless of who it was cast for. thank you for your support, for me this is more important than a formal victory in the elections, it is support for the political and economic course of our country, our overall results, which, of course, should be larger, but already today they make russia even stronger and more independent. a few words about the work of election commissions at all levels. as always. a victory that has never happened in the history of russia, 87.28% of the votes for vladimir putin, in second place is nikolai kharitonov with 4.31%, 3.85 for vladislav dvankov and 3.2% for leonid slutsky, legitimacy of the elections, three components, multi-level voting, not only at polling stations, including abroad, but also remote and electronic voting, full control over transparency, vi

when the same trump was not allowed to withdraw troops from syria, because, excuse me, the american centcombut some were not withdrawn, in general they deceived their own president, well, trump’s latest decrees, and on the withdrawal of troops, in my opinion, from somalia, from sudaan. in general, they boycotted the pentagon, no one made such decisions, but a call to china, yes, yes, which very quickly and directly , although there i, well, yes, a call from mark mealy, who simply promised the chinese general staff, if anything happened, to transmit in advance some data about trump’s decisions, if trump decides something serious regarding to arrange for china, but this is literally treasonable insubordination, that is, treason, well, yes, to imprison you for this, but you see, he then tried to be in charge for another 2 years. jokes aside, but both young people there were not young for a long time, well, yes, it’s true. welcome to asia, this is where the heart beats continent. does she really read minds or not? premiere. anna ostrovskaya investigative committee. she has special gifts. who ar

and i am joined now by former centcom commander frank mckenzie, author of the upcoming book "the meltinghy isis-k would go after russia. >> isis-k seeks to conduct external attacks. by that i mean attacks away from their homeland, which they regard as highly afghanistan, and they're not under a great deal of pressure in afghanistan, so when you are not under pressure at your home base, you have the opportunity to reach out, and they hold russia accountable for actions against isis in syria several years ago. so they desire to attack not only russia, but also the united states and other nations as well. this is very much in keeping with what their stated operational design is if you will. >> martha: and the u.s. says it warned russia and iran before that, part of this duty to warn. russia didn't heed those warnings. if they had, do you think there was enough intelligence to make this preventible? >> i think we gave them pretty precise information. you know, the problem that isis-k has and all these organizations have, is when they want to conduct an attack abroad, they have to communicate

that the emany missiles did not impact the vessel and caused no injuries or damage. according to centcomthe red sea over israel's genocide in gaza. yemen has for number of times targeted israeli linked vessels in the crucial maritime lane for trade. response to anti-israely operations, the us and uk have repeatedly launched air strikes again. arab country since mid january. then armed forces say despite the aggression, they will continue its operations in solidarity with gaza. pro palestine gathering at the university of vienna, students calling for an end to israel's massacre of civilians in the gaza strip. and the artis and the occupation and the occupation and defending, stop this genocide, stop this genocide, group of protesters called students against genocide helped the gathering inside the university, waving flags and banners in support of palestine, they chanted slogans demanding an end to the... genicidal war in the gaza strip and the occupation of palestinian lands. protesters also demanded a meeting with the university chancellor who they consider as complicit in the gaza geno

the chief of staff of the us central command , centcom, said that the country's aggression against yemen in recent months had no effect on the yemeni naval operations. according to michael carl. the american response to yemen's naval operations has been weak, and the yemenis have carried out at least 50 attacks against ships off the coast of this country since last fall. according to this according to sandcom official, yemenis can quickly replace the equipment that was destroyed in british and american attacks. since several months, yemen has been targeting ships owned by the zionist regime or testing the ports of this regime and has announced these attacks until the blockade is lifted. gaza and the continuation of hunger will continue in this barricade. these attacks have led to the change of the route of the ships bound for the occupied territories towards south africa, which increases the cost of transporting the goods for the regime. multiplies the meteorological organization announced the arrival of a new rainfall system for the western and southwestern provinces also, the provinces

i think the centcom commander testified that within six months, that six months they would have the capabilityo operate outside of afghanistan, do external operations. and it only took six days before they hit outside of moscow. and think europe is of concern. we're going back to old playbook where history repeats itself and that is why the fall of afghanistan. the way it was done and the way we left with it no isr capable or intelligence, recognizance, puts this us in danger where there is a new battleground training ground for isis. >> and u.s. did have some ears on this if they did warn russia that isis was a threat. you have been very focused on afghanistan and you held a hearing from mark milley and frank mckenzie this past week. they both said, the state department failed to adequately plan for the withdrawal from and evacuation from afghanistan. given the threatened environment the u.s. is facing right now on multiple continents at once, haiti and niger, are you confident that the united states government is prepared to protect its people in all of the posts and carry out evacuations if

what did centcom say?outhern command down in miami and look, there are two critical issues here. one is the safety of our embassy and the thousands of americans that are trapped in many cases away from the embassy and can't transit through the gang-run areas to get there. so that's one piece. then the other piece is the potential for a mass migration. florida's coastline is actually longer than the texas southern border and so on the one hand, i do think the military is positioned to get our embassy out. but if they are going to get every american out, meaning we need to send helicopters or convoys through these gang-ridden areas, that will be a large military intervention that the white house is going to have to order before it devolves into absolute chaos. that is what we're looking for. we can't do what we did in afghanistan, just wait until everything was taken over and then try to introduce our forces. and look, i'm more concerned is handling the mass migration. the coast guard is surging forces down

we've got general joseph patel with us, the former centcom commander.resting development in and of itself, we've continued to attack houthi positions to no avail and seemingly attacked back. what do you make of it. >> i think it's important to look at our response and the is actions of the houthis. our actions have been about protecting shipping and american resources going through the region. it hasn't been completely about removing the capacity or capability of the houthis. our attacks, while we've had several waves of them, we just had one as recently as the 29th, have really been focused on the going after the houthi's abilities to attack. and some radar and command and control and some supply depots in addition to launching attacks. we haven't gone after the supply chains. our attacks have largely been limited to u.s. and u.k. resources and we've been unable to date to leverage the broader region to get involved in this. even countries like egypt, who has a vested interest in the revenue generated by the passage of ships through the red sea haven't

shocking news from the general there in centcom. of iran and russia. and, you know with, really iran is now moscow's arms supplier. and these iran-made drones are in use from the skies over ukraine right down to the red sea. this particular drone pollution 100 a week, very nasty because it's long range, it can carly shrapnel type and other warheads, so it can do a lot of damage. and although it's vulnerable, you can shoot it down with guns if you can find it. they are tricky to pick up. and so it is playing the role in overwhelming some of the air defenses. really nasty drone. lauren: rebecca, how quickly can they produce them? >> well, that's just a matter of the ramp rate. and if they can do 100 a week now, if the money is there, they can do more. what worries me more is that they will continue long term production of these not only for the ukraine battlefield, but we may start seeing them around the world. and so russia building iranian drones and the business between those two country, that is just a terrible -- two country, tha

let the centcom commander figure out a campaign to do that. neil: general, thanks very much. we'll watch it closely. general jack keane. want to update you in philadelphia right now with this shooting. we don't know what started it. we know it's the fourth time in as many days there's been a shooting in a philadelphia transit system. this was on a bus. four were injured. we know in the case of those four that might not be life threatening the other three, we're not quite so sure. we'll keep you posted. when we come back, keeping you posted on how the president of the united states plans to get ready for his state of the union address. we're told he's making an effort to reach out to disaffected nikki haley voters that feel that they can't vote for donald trump. so joe biden is saying, vote for me. why chris coons, the guy is ahead of that campaign says he has a good argument to make after this. pain hits fast. so get relief fast. only tylenol rapid release gels have laser drilled holes. they release medicine fast for fast pain relief. and now,

here's centcom commander general erica april la testifying before congress a day before the moscow rampagetacks in iraq and syria earlier this year, and the risk of attack emanating from afghanistan is increasing. iss -- assess isis retains the capability and the will to attack the u.s. and western interests abroad in as a little as six months with little to no warning. paul: let's bring in seth jones, senior vice president and director of the international security program at the center for stream thetic rain and international studies -- strategic. seth, great to see you begin. so you heard the general. is he right on target there, or is perhaps that a little alarmist? >> well, paul, the growing evidence right now is that isis corazon, the group that's the affiliate of isis that is based out of afghanistan and pakistan, does present a more serious external threat to a range of european, u.s. and other targets and, obviously, we've seen their capability to strike in russia it. so the evidence does show that there were a number of arrests last year, for example. the or germans and the dutch

and general frank mackenzie, who is the centcom commander at the time he has said that he recommended to president biden that roughly 2,500 american service members today in afghanistan in order to have that stabilizing presence there, the biden administration has said repeatedly in their defense that if they had kept the troops there, they would have been attacked by the taliban because of the decision by the trump administration to strike this deal with the taliban to leave by may of 2021. and so they basically have said their hands were tied. we'll see what mackenzie and merely say today in the hearing, but it should be eye-opening because as i said, they do have a little bit more freedom now that they're not in government wolf, very important point. natasha bertrand at the pentagon. thank you very much for that update, joining us now, the texas republican congressman mike mccall, he is the chairman of the house foreign affairs committee that will hold this hearing later today. chairman. thank you so much for joining us specifically, what answers or you're looking for from general

and we're hearing from centcom at this point that they're estimating a couple of months to get this done. does that seem like a realistic timeline to you >> well, let's let's look at it. if it's being done in a passive environment, maybe they can accelerate it. but this is not decidedly a passive environment. we have to assume that there will be continuing military operations in the midst of the construction of this. now i would imagine legal us port. the us is going to build it. the us is going to maintain it. the us is going to have to provide security. i mean, just think about that a little bit in the middle of a war zone the us is now inserting itself. and again, it's going to put some significant risk to the united states and those sailors military engineers, all manner of military personnel that are there to exist and to facilitate the movement of this of this humanitarian assistance which is required. i mean, it really is a legitimate logistic and military risk that's it. that's in front of us >> president biden has we've started to see a bit of a shift in tone from president bide

recommendations to the secretary defense on that >> is that you're we've been listening to former centcom commander general kenneth mackenzie and his testimony to the house foreign affairs committee on the messy withdrawal from afghanistan, mecole, in his latest set of questions, making clear that he's putting the state department at the center of some of the failures associated with the withdrawal i will of course, continue to monitor these questions four important former generals in the united states services we're going to take a quick break and we'll be back in just moments. >> las vegas wouldn't be here if it wasn't in constant state of evolution. >> he really get inaugurated a new hero for the star why did it get vegas, the story of sensitive? sunday at ten on cnn >> when you're the leader is asked to clean up and restoration how do you make like it never even happened? >> happened >> brand >> whatever comes your way. >> there's a pro for that. serve crow, >> like it never even happened >> all your students, one app, with one password find your happy place >> it's hard to explain wh
