initially, nigerian's thought itt it's a near jarian problem but for five years, niger were was unableeal with the situation. remember in the last four years, we have been hearing about the connection between boko haram and and then there were also rumors of boko haram fighters being seen in the malian conflict about two days ago. there is the issue of boko haram and reports from villages attacked by boko haram. they are always looking for fighters or mersnaries always the threat and there will continue to be but what will happen now is whether or not is isil will accept the ideology of boko haram to its folds and become part of it. if they have this is going to be a much bigger problem than it is now. >> well leave it there. akmed live for us in the nigerian capital reinke forces have gained a new ally in their battle against the islamic state of the iraq in levant saying they will recapture mosul from is isil fighters. his forces battled against the u.s. military after they invaded iraqi in 2003. the operation to liberate mosul will involve peshmerga forces and sunni fighters and the

using their mysterious homing instincts, itt they were released hundreds of kilometers from home.wners anxiously waiting for them to come back or not, all for a few hundred dollars. >> what's transformed what used to be a cottage industry into a multi-million dollar global business is the huge popularity of pigeon racing in china where millions of dollars change hands both in racing and gambling. but according to some with that money has come mistreatment and truth cruelty. thousands of birds die in these races off the cost of tie with a. elsewhere, there has been doping extortion and bird theft. >> the whole principle of pigeon racing is to send birds hundreds of miles where they belong from their homes, from their mates, from their babies and bet them whether or not they are going to make it alive. >> at pigeon pair died birds are very well treated. as you see young pig options spreading wings for the first time it's hard not to be taken in by the original attraction of this sport. the connection between humans and the birds who always try to come home. sire mon mcgregor wood al

itt $360 billion it owns geico, see's candy, burlington northern, has stake in coke whia coca-cola, ibm and stress. we asked how it is doing. >> we are continui make progress, just like we have since fall of 2009. things hit bottom. the whole country was paralyzed for a period of time. but once we started coming back, we kept coming back. i get figures in all kinds of businesses by the day almost. certainly by the week. and most of our businesses are doing more business than they were last year and we are doing more business last year than the year before. and we had not hit anything like a boom type. but compared to the rest of the world, i mean, the united states is really been leading the world out of what was sort of the recession to end all recessions. >> even though we have been doing better and better and gains have continued to come in, you yourself said that those gains aren distributed evenly. income equality is a growing concern and something that politicians are talking about more and more frequently. how would you fix income in equality. >> i think the best way is through t

said no mistaking of the itt and most of that castigates of the pair of military headquarters during the occupation. one single story is closer to the general's office walking in there is a was brown and to do. a nice big plasma screen on the wall you could tell they had priority. the whole of the high-value target being the center counterpart to the so in the pentagon the easier it analysts tracked individuals grown units around iraq for those to be added to the george priorities. but the of the their own list of high-value targets are high value of individuals. for example, a report of unspotted from the army observation desk than rashad as he tried to escape astride to it was explained with a lot of big words. but it appeared to be self-evident o'er tableau as boreholes already dubious about those presumptions revealed of that strategy works. so with full access to the database that the high-value targets were killed or captured. then he went through the records again to save wear each leader had operated. that is a crucial question how had that made a difference with the fight ag

. >> i have been in the itt department 17 years to make it impossible for people to do their jobs i don'tare what industry they would get their jobs done. kennedy: never mind the regulations. she is secretary of state. the 2014 law was enacted about requirements of emails but the one that requires storage kazakh through 2009. >> and when dave requested then she immediately turned over 55,000 emails. this is a continuation of the bin gauzy witchhunt. but i think the congressman should say here are all the emails let's take a look at them swimming she is not the first secretary of state to do this in john kerry is the first to be using a civic because he is required by law stick mecca i step on the rules i feel bad. >> but in 2011 the system finally became good enough to use remote the so that is why john kerry is doing it. but to bring up benghazi benghazi, how many investigations have we had about that? ten? you think after all those investigations and all those witnesses the smoking gun is on her personal e-mail? >> even george stephanopoulos said his biggest regret is he did not insist

spun off by itt company in 2011 they make electronic warfare womenequipment, and design advanced networksncluding those that help the federal af vags air travis control. we feel this is a war fighter company. back in september they spun off part of its services into a new company called vectrus. since seeing the announcement harris is buying the whole company, the stock is now given us 57% returns. since we spoke to the ceo in november 2013. that's a nice run. i think the combination gives a lot more upside. sfirs the issue of scale. 16th largest contractor after the deal will become 8th largest defense company. will give them larger bargaining power. more purchasing power. will borrow at lower rates. second they both operate in similar areas, all about military government communications communications, which is why this should generate cost saving already $120 million in cost savings in the third year. that's not bad. and management said the deal should be adding to earnings in the first year and a significant contributor there after. that's why harris shot up element 9%. after the merge

itt's most recent quarterly earnings revealed the company's best revenue growth of the last three yearswelcome. >> it is a pleasure to be with you. >> cisco used to be considered the plumbers of the internet. routers was your big business. what kind of company, how would you define it today? >> it has moved from what i think 20 years ago, we were the plumbers, the company that made the internet work and people came to us to say, how do you use the internet to do outsourcing, etc.. what is exciting today as you are about as a second-generation of the internet and it will be bigger than a the first by five-tenfold. think of the first one as the information era. there was a 16% growth in gdp 16% growth in income for america. we now see everything becoming digital. that means everything is connected. >> what does it mean to be digitized? >> everything will be connected. for a country come it means we will grow gdp by 1-3% more than you would have otherwise. you will bring broadband to every person in your country. if you do your job right, you'll be able to be inclusive of minorities, etc.

there is a hole in a politicking itt it has to go through and is a general point here and there is a theory of optimism and when the base optimism is not realized with the target, it has to be ensuring the deficit reduction and that is a real risk with the budget and the privatization process. these ambitions have capital fording more general and the next year. >> what are they going to be looking out with this budget? >> they want to see a continuation of consolidation and did we get that? a target for gdp and it has been relaxed. it is slightly higher in the short-term. better one in the short-term? i do not think this is a particular game changer. >> this is something they have been saying and we have done all that we can. you need to get your act together fiscally. >> you have to show me high-quality fiscal consolidation and discipline. the good news is that numbers are going down and you are going to see interest rates go down in india. does the budget jets the rate indicates? >> it growth. again, -- >> absolutely. i think what has really been keeping it on track is the moreall

it is not congress' faul itt is what is going on in the white house. . and it is not congress. host: gail, that separation happened in the senate when the senate move forward at the dhs funding bill and a separate bill sponsored by senator collins that would specifically block the president's actions on immigration, the executive actions from november. that specific will, the collins bill, was blocked from getting to debate last friday when he tried to be moved to the senate floor. here we are five days away from a potential dhs shutdown. we want to hear how you think the standoff should end. andrew is up next in bristol, tennessee. caller: good morning, how are you? host: i'm good, andrew. caller: my opinion is -- first off, i do think they need to pass a clean one. i don't agree with the executive order, but nonetheless -- but my question is, should we not pass a clean one and then immediately pass legislation defining what an executive order should be and maybe making -- saying we can't use it for this and painting the democrats as they won't be for it, painting it as there
