fighter jets delivered several air strikes against the terrorist daesh position at 11:00 a.m. this morning. these position were ammunition dumps, training facilities. the statement went on to say all facilities they targeted were did destroyed. we're told by syrian activists that other coalition air strikes attacked the town 600 kilometers northeast of damascus today where 20 strikes hit targets and ten isis militants were killed. so clearly a ratcheting up of efforts since the the king had vowed in what he suggested would be a harsh response to release of video of that young pilot released by isis apparently showing that he was killed in raqqa where the air strikes were delivered by jordanian aircraft today. remember that video shown famously now in front on big screens in front of isis supporters in raqqa. this is a strong hold of isis militant support in syria. we are clearing seeing a ratcheting up of efforts brooke. this remember only 72 hours or so after king abdullah was in washington a visit he had to cut short to return here. he was there to appeal to obama administra

or isis. >> daesh is the derogatory term. >> yes.ioned stepping up their involvement with air attacks. but they're also very supportive of us in other ways particularly intelligence and the access really to people and information -- >> will it be just jordan? you know the region well. i remember when you were ambassador in kuwait and saddam hussein innovated kuwait back in 1990. will it just be jordan that will be emboldened now to get tougher with isis or will others in the region whether saudi arabia kuwait uae, qatar, turkey for that matter will they as well follow suit? >> i've been on the phone with lots of people in at least three of the countries you just mentioned. in every one of those countries they're telling me people are outraged and they want their governments to do more to deal with daesh, to bring them down to heel. and what i find helpful is you find the religious establishments in all these countries, including in cairo, denouncing them and saying they're not islamic at all, it's a violation of koranic instructions

, against infiltration of supporters of daesh from jordan to syria or to iraq. taking all these actions requires sober thinking and require government cooperation with its allies which i think will be forthcoming, provided that jordanians are -- the government is able to control the emotions of the jordanjordanians. >> thank you for joining us from amman. >>> we have plenty more for on you that battle with islamic state on our website as well lots of comments and analysis there for you, too, from contributors and from our own people who are on the ground. bbc.com/news. just go there for more details. >>> let's take you to the united states now. seven people have been killed. more than 12 others injured after a commuter train hit a vehicle at a railway crossing in new york city. the accident happened in valhalla, some 32 kilometers north of new york. journalist with abc news in new york city, we can take you to her now. she is at the scene. lana, what happened? >> reporter: hello lucy. yes, it happened here just over my shoulder. can you see that train is still b

(laughter) man! i thought we were supposed to hate these guys, and now you're bringing up our dirty christian laundry. how am i supposed to hate if i'm thinking about what we did is this that's not fair. why do you always have to confuse me with compassion and facts? you make me mad all the time. all right. since we're talking about history, i don't recall other presidents making us feel all guilty before we got our killing on. during world war ii, you never heard f.d.r. say, "when you're killin

president obama submitted a resolution for authorization to use force against daesh. and it's important to show that that fight is winnable, that it would be a couple more years to fight. it wouldn't require troops on the ground, and there is an imperative to look like isis is getting weaker. but the attack shows on the town and on this base that "s" that there are hundreds of u.s. soldiers vulnerable to an attack and we don't know how long it would take, and whether this military strategy is one that could win under any circumstances. >> gunmen claiming affiliation with isil have reportedly taken over a state run radio station. the residents of the city say they're broadcasting speeches by isil. they have responded saying that the situation put areas under threat. lots more to come in the al jazeera news hour. >> anti-government protests across egypt in support of the ousted president mohamed morsi continue. >>> u.s. president barack obama asks technology firms to share more information with the government to tackle cyber crime. >>> and in sport qatar's world cup org

has been a growing narrative here in washington over particularly the last two weeks, that isis or daeshan weaker and on its last legs and this attack shows us that daesh or the islamic state is still strong. the united states has had 6 months of bombing, dropped 500 pounds of bombs, and the u.s.-lead coalition has taken back less than 1% of the territory. and the u.s. claims it has killed about 6,000 fighters which we're not sure exactly what a fighter is in terms of the u.s. definition. but even accepting that 6,000 fighters have been killed that also would be less than 10% of the fighters that the islamic state has and its ability to recruit more. i think this attack shows us that the data is really important to look at and that real data numbers of fighters amount of territory under control, would show that the islamic state is still quite formidable. >> do people in washington to be more careful with that narrative that the fight against isil is being won? >> i think there is a political dimension to it here in washington. yesterday president obama submitted a resolution for the aut

you'll hear him using the term daesh which is a director term for isis. >> this is our war. this is the muslim world war because daesh is an affront to jordan in putting threats to saudi arabia and kuwait and other gulf countries as well as iraq and syria, of course. so it is logical for all of us to say and understand and accept that this is our war, especially that daesh is committing this war in the name of islam which is absolutely incorrect and not true. >> the king of jordan has vowed a relentless war against isis. we want to bring in pentagon correspondent barbara starr, also with us fareed zakaria, host of "fareed zakaria gps." barbara, what is being hit by whom and how hard? >> it's important to start with this point. king abdullah of jar dan a full wartime commander in the arab islamic world. he's responsible to his people and making it very clear that these air vix are jordan's position now to fight isis. it's our understanding, the first wave of air strikes concluded several hours ago, perhaps as many as two dozen, just under two dozen jordanian f-16s flying agai

see anything other than force that is going to extra pate, if that can be done the isil people, the daesh people from libya. >> foreign military intervention would further escalate. how great of a risk do you think that would happen? >> well, that is a possibility but they already were in a position of fighting with one another. and i doubt whether the egyptian involvement itself is going to play an instrumental role in that. but if, indeed, is there is some concern about outside intervention that should be a spur to the people who actually live in libya to work together to get something which can lead them to be against--against daesh. after all, even the people in tripoli, who tend to be much more radicalized than the people in tobruk do have something to lose. everybody in libya ultimately is at risk from the isil people, and anything that can help them to come together is going to be better than nothing at all. unfortunately, i think also the outside world, including the united states, a lot of european countries, have allowed this to fester for far too long. i find it a little incomp

>> well they asked the daesh group, they asked us to spare rishawi and give the executed japanese -- the one they executed. they didn't talk about somebody else. the government asked us several times to give us proof our pilot was alive. >> how much pressure as a government do you feel under given that people in jordan clearly do want to see revenge taken for what happened to the air force pilot? >> jordanian communities are united now. all of them they are asking to get our pilot's lives back. and jordan used to get citizens' rights. we are not terrorists. we just apply the rule of arab state, a rule of law, and these two terrorists who have been condemned in a court. people there asking revenge on this their right, the way they killed our pilot, it's not a human way. and people have an anger and they keep asking revenge for that. and the military headquarters declare his blood will not go for nothing. >> thank you for joining us. that was jordanian minister for political and parliamentary affairs. >>> some breaking news just coming in in the past few minutes. more than 15 people ha

you see more support now for the government to try to strike hard at daesh at isis. people were abhorred by the killing and the way it was done. now the government is saying that he was killed january 3rd january 3rd, way before isis demanded al rishawi be released to save his life. now their anger is focused on isis and the blame is all on isis. >> thank you. >> rescue workers in taiwan are searching for missing passengers on a plane which crashed in the river. 25 of those on board have been confirmed dead while around 17 are thought to be trapped in the partially submerged wreckage. >> reporter: in taiwan cars often have an on board camera in case there is an accident. but no one imagined recording one like this. a passenger plane cartwheeling out of the sky. it's wing clips the roof of a taxi before plowing into the wall. the driver survived but many on the flight didn't. rescuers quickly realized the scale of the operation that confronted them. >> this. >> as you can see at the scene the head of the plane is at the water. right now we're asking the military to se

i don't think it will achieve the result required to defeat daesh or push them out of iraq.t will take a long time. there are two issues to remember about that - their political reform, they should do, and in actual fact the arab world should put conditional matters on iraqi to say you do the political reform. this is a game changer. turkey should step in and put a no-go zone from the area. using air power, special operations, then we see things go fast. otherwise it will take a long time. it's a long mission. >> we are joined from imam, the jordanian capital. we'll be back with more "inside story" after a short break. when we return, the splits inside jordanian society that might leave you to conclude that even now there are deep divisions about making security policy in a complicated and dangerous part of the world. stay with us, it's "inside story". . >>> welcome back to "inside story" on al jazeera america. i'm ray suarez. we are lacking at jordan, and the war against i.s.i.l. jordanian forces have received significant aid, not surprising in light of strong relationships

obviously there is another dimension that should push all of the sides inside libya to realize that daesha threat to the entire country, so all of the libyans and that would require a joint action to face the threats. >> reporter: france and italy are also campaigning for a coordinating an international response. warning if left uncheck, isil could be at europe's doorstep. >>> egypt's foreign minister is in new york at the u.n. lobbying for support to take on isil. let's go to james bayes at the u.n. talk us through the case for intervention james. >> reporter: well the case is being made very forcefully by the egyptians, but as you have heard in caroline's report everything in libya is so complicated in a country where there is so much disorder and to rival governments, but the egyptian case needs to be a coalition that is going to take on isil. it wants u.n. backing for the coalition. that's why the egyptian foreign minister is here in new york. he's having a series of key meetings. he is meeting members of the security council including we know members of the permanent five the ones th

or daesh as it's called here. >> we don't like them. >> reporter: we don't, either. iran's president even told the massive crowd today that his nation is key in the fight against terror. the u.s. says there is no coordination between the nations, fighting this common enemy. david. >> reporter: reality check. >> mar than raddatz, thank you. let's get right to jonathan karl. how likely is it that congress will support the president now? >> reporter: well david, this is going to be a tough sell a very tough sell for the president. the problem is you have many democrats who fear that this resolution could open the door to a big escalation of the war against isis involving many more american troops. on the other hand you have remembers who say that this resolution does not go far enough. they will resist any effort to limit the president's military options. and, david, i've got to tell you. i've been talking to sources in congress who tell us it's going to take time if this resolution passes it will be months before it does. >> jon karl live at the white house. jon, thank

some of the members of my extended family have gone to fight with daesh.this is a problem that affects communities. so i think there has to be some inclusion on that community-based approach in libya. not just from the traditional sort of dignity side but from the so-called islamists. the quiet salafis in tripoli. there are other partners the u.s. should be engaging on that issue. >> still on the subject of southern secession in yemen we a joke been going on a few years the reason yemen has not seceded is actually because of the southern secession. they are composed of several groups who can not agree with each other. from 2011 to 2014 the south definitely had several opportunities to break apart and have its own nation because the government was weak the military is not there pretty much. but they're still, they're still trying to come together. we have a leader called ajusti who flew to riyadh as soon as houthis took over. he trying to get the members to unite and come up with a southern solution. in my opinion if they could not do it since 1994 they can

isis or daesh, has removed a physical border between syria and iraq. they're in iraq and they're in syria and therefore you have to target them wherever they are. bill: shepard smith is live in amman today. we'll talk to him later this morning on "america's newsroom." later today, national security advisor susan rice unveils president obama's new national security strategy. to lay out his foreign policy priorities rest of time in office. chris stirewalt. digital politics editor. good morning to you in washington. what is your expectations for this today is. >> limited, mitigated. this is, timing of this is very interesting. this is something that has been mandated by congress to brief congress on national security and approach of national security by the administration since 1986. george w. bush substantially abandoned the practice. only turned in two. president obama only turned in one, so why now, so why do one of these? it would seem to suggest that the administration is looking to cohere its foreign policy make some argument that there is some cohe

crimes against humanity, war crimes, definite on the daesh side or the side of i.s.i.l where they're carrying out actions against ethnic minorities, we're talking about sexual slavery of women from minority groups, these types of crimes, definitely would make the criteria for crimes against humanity. targeting communities for revenge killings, perpetrated by some of the people who are fighting against i.s.i.l. are of serious concern may also meet that definition. we have also had similar persecution of the yazidi sect, i'm not a court of law but i wouldn't pronounce on it but would say the elements are there. >> thank you from baghdad. >>> heavy weapons in the northern city of aleppo. activists say 48 people have been killed in the past week aalone. caroline malone reports. >> fighting in pleap province is fierce andaleppo province.rebel groups are fighting soldiers from the regime but many other sides are involved in this war. last week forces fighting for syrian president bashar al-assad, iran and hezbollah say they have taken part of the northern sections of aleppo. rebels have si

efforts and work to stop extremism and terrorism and to undermine and degrade and eventually finish daesh. >> human rights watch say jordan's attempt to send a retaliatory message may not work. >> in addition to military strategy inside iraq and syria it is designed to defeat isil militarily and it's failing. people need to pause and think about that. there is a political process that is sadly absent from iraq that will make the sunni community believe in an iraqi government that speaks for all of them and reject isis, which is currently running their lands. we have to give iraqi sunnies a better answer and showing that government sink to the levels of retaliatory vigilanty justice is not going to give them confidence in the state of rule of law. >> now the unite arab emirates suspended flights over syria in december after isil captured the jordanian pilate moaz al-kassasbeh. >>> to ukraine where fighting has intensified. the town of debaltseve has become a flash point between the two sides. many residents are continue to go flee as charles stratford reports. >> reporter: ukrainian army f

one of them, daesh, is a radicalized derivative of what we once knew as al qaeda. the other, the shia activists, whether it's hezbollah, tehran directly or various groups at any level, are ultimately a group that looks at the 12th up imam, mohammed mafi and his proclamation of what you have to do, which is more or less take the holy lands and bring back all the glory and peace. and i listen to the former president of iran at the u.n. in 2012 and he may be crazy, but that's what he was saying is the 12th imam is going to bring this all back and it was a call for jihad for the shia. question. and i'll start with dr. brennan, but all of you can answer it. aren't we really dealing with the need to be targeted against both as appropriate and at the same time, and i'll use syria, an area i've worked a little bit in, as the poster child. we have if you will the 12th imam crowd on one side backing assad. and then we have isil. aren't we in a position in which we have to make sure that we give a nimble authority to the president but one in which he weighs the comparative ba
