news, islamic terrorist group isis releasing a video showing the beheading of british hostage, david haines. first, your reaction to the breaking news tonight. >> this was a kind of in your face to our president. in your face to david cameron. i don't think the president said anything the other night that scared isis in the least. i don't think president obama said anything that made any of our coalition partners confidence about how much we're in the game. >> what he said was you'll find that these terrorist groups when things are on the downside for them, they'll do a beheading to show their strength, to draw attention away from an alleged weak feeling. do you agree with that? >> we've had a couple of successes. the dam, the mosul dam, those are minor tactical victories. they don't establish the overall objective of weakening or destroying isis. i don't totally agree with the ambassador. >> do you believe that the president is now saying when he's going after isis and syria without ground troops, he's putting the burden on the syrian troops? >> the burden to fight isis has always been on

listen again. >> david haines was a british hero. the fact that an aide worker was taken, held and brutally murdered at the hands of isil sums up what the organization stands for. they make no secret of their desire to do as much harm not just in the middle east but the people who stand in their way or dare to stand for values they disagree with. >> i want to turn to london now and kelly kobiya with the latest. i want you to listen to the brother of mr. hains, mike haines was emotional trying to give a statement about his brother. >> if i said my brother was a saint i would be a liar. he's made many mistakes like us all. he tried to be a better man. he tried to account for his mistakes in a previous life. >> how could it have an impact on britain's resolve now against isis? >> certainly ratchets up the pressure for some kind of action. already there are calls from some. for stronger military action against isis. political and religious leaders condemned david haines's killing using sickening, a barbaric act. the president of the soci

. >> reporter: the video released on social media saturday shows david haines, a 44-year-old aid worker from scotland, on his knees with a masked man hovering over him with a knife. the new video looks very much like the previous videos showing the execution of two american journalists, james foley and steven sotloff, who were beheaded. in the video it appears haines is following a script. he denounces british prime minister david cameron, holding him responsible for his execution and following a trend of british prime ministers who can't find the courage to say no to the americans. the same masked man with a british accent appears in all these videos and like in the other two, threatens to kill another hostage in the near future. >> this will only accelerate your destruction and claim the role of the obedient lap dog cameron. >> reporter: cameron called the execution despicable and appalling. he released a statement saying the murder of david haines is an act of pure evil and his heart goes out to his family. he added, we will do everything in our power to hunt down these murderers and

when we compare the video of david haines to those two videos, one thing we saw in the david haines video was less geographical video. it is just sand and sky, there wasn't a village in the background. is there a chance that you never find the executioner, even if, indeed, as you indicate, it could be the same person. >> erin, i didn't study the videos. i heard about them but i chose not to look at the horrible pictures. but we are putting effort into identifying the people involved and we know there are several involved. we know we have several hundred british subjects and we've been asked to hunt them down and bring them to justice. >> and the other story which is hugely significant for britain and for frankly the entire world when you think about what this could mean, the independence vote in scotland. and i was up in sky. the older people want to stay in the u.k. and the youngers said no. here is what they said at the pub. >> scotland will not do well as an independent country. >> are you saying yes or no. >> i would say yes. >> are they crazy, ambassador? >> i'm going to disappoint y
