let's bring in military analyst jack jacobs. speaking of the military of course which the french president referenced there, we understand there are 1500 troops, jack, that have beenoun. what will their specific duties be today? >> well, a lot of them will be military police there might be bombs or there might be the capability of conducting another attack. one of the things that they are not going to be talking about when you discuss 1500 troops in and around paris, is the increased intelligence collection operation that's going to take place particularly in muslim neighborhoods in and around paris. areas of large numbers of unemployed dils affected youths, some of whom are home grown radicals, some of whom have -- who have left, gone to turkey, then to syria, to fight and then return back to france. the biggest effort, the effort that's really going to pay dividends that's going to keep france safe, is an increased intelligence collection operation and that's going to take place everywhere in france but particularly in muslim n

colonel jack jacobs is still with me as is the vice president at the center for intelligence policy. aki, how significant do you think it is and what do you make of the fact if this wall street journal report is correct that the united states is sharing what are called these targeting packages with the french? >> i would be very surprised if we weren't working very closely with the french on these issues and the united states and france has a very close counterterrorism relationship. the fact that french air power is pounding raqqa right now is also unsurprising because you know that the french have to actually show some sort of resolve to say that they're not going to take this lying down. however, chances are that the united states is the one that collected this intelligence in the first place. so if it weren't french warplanes hitting it, it would probably be american ones. so it remains to be seen whether these strikes were effective in doing anything to isis that's more than just tactical strikes. >> jack, do you agree with that? >> we have a hard time sometimes parsing the diff

colonel jack jacobs, thank you very, very much.l continue to check in with you as we learn more about this breaking news situation and the turkish and syrian border. we'll be back with more. >>> and good morning, everyone, i'm shannon mulaire. we have some breaking news at this hour. a russian warplane was shot out of the sky near the turkish border with syria. turkish armed forces say the plane was shot down after violating the country's airspace. this just hours before president obama is set to meet with french president francois hollande later this morning to discuss plans to defeat isis. nbc's joe fryer joins us now from london with the latest. good morning, joe. what can you tell us? >> good morning, shannon. turkey has confirmed that it shot down a russian warplane near the syrian border this morning. turkey claims the plane had violated turkish airspace, ignoring repeated warnings, ten warnings in five minutes, according to turkish armed forces. now russia's defense ministry says, quote, we are looking into the circumstances

colonel jack jacobs, thank you for your insight this morning. we appreciate it. >> you're welcome. >>> switching gears now, nbc meteorologist bill karins is here and we have some severe weather in the forecast. incredible for november. >> and some nasty stuff going through right now, even the dallas-ft. worth area. we'll start with what happened yesterday. a rare november tornado outbreak. this was a pretty big one by november standards. 40 tornadoes reported, some of those were the same ones and a few of these were huge, big tornadoes, one was reported a mile wide. thankfully rural sections, building and constructions sites damaged but we didn't have any injuries or fatalities. as far as right now the line of thunderstorms going through the dallas area. we are under severe thunderstorm warning right now in the dallas area. just to the north of dallas, there is one tornado warning. i have not heart of any reports of any tornadoes on the ground. but if you're in the dallas area, let this line of storms go on through. give it about another hour or

. >> i want to bring in msnbc military analyst, colonel jack jacobs. colonel, as always, good to have you here. considering the coordination of these attacks and casualties here the last report, 120 at least, and that may go up, it's been described in some headlines as war there in paris. i want to hear your take, if you think, to some extent, is it war? >> you know, france has been at war with us against isis. as far as all terrorists are concerned, france is fair game. there's been a heightened state of vigil for some time. earlier this year there were attacks on "charlie hebdo" and 17 killed and many more wounded. less koocoordinated and less p n planned than this attack. this attack has been in the p n planning stages for quite some time. the second thing to keep in mind, in france, there is a fairly substantial percentage of its muslim population that is d disaffected that is easily radicalized or a lot of them who have left and gone to fight in syria and other places and some of them have returned. borders inside the eu are open, completely open.

i want to bring back our fantastic panel for more on this discussion, ann kieran, colonel jack jacobsng from "meet the press". >> it's been a year. they're still in mosul. they're still in ramadi, they're still in raqqah. those are the areas we have to go after in order to be able to defeat isis ultimately. we have to take the territory back and we have to make sure that other countries are part of the effort to try to deal with isis. >> it was really interesting, colonel jack jacobs, military planners interviewed by "the wall street journal" suggested that to triple isis it would require 40,000 troops, air support and two months of fighting, sort of this intense push. leon panetta seemed to suggest there needs to be an expanded role, as well, does that sound about right to you? >> no. it sounds overly optimistic to me. i think you need 100,000 troops and if they're successful and make way for still more troops because don't forget you have to seize and hold the terrain. it always takes more resources to hold on than it does to take in the first place and as for time, i think you're t

army colonel medal of honorist and military tlois jack jacobs. colonel, as you look at this expanding dragnet in france, the fact that sweden now has upped its terror level and the incidents in germany yesterday, what can the u.s. do as we think about our involvement, our response in addition to sharing intelligence with these governments? >> well, that's what i was going to say. i think sharing intelligence is something that has not been done effectively up until now. clearly. we didn't know very much about -- as much as the french did about their own territory, and we need to. we're starting to share intelligence with, of all people, the russians because it looks like there's something of a de facto alipts among the united states, the russians, and iran in order to try to knock off cells of isis in syria. this kich intelligence sharing is extremely important because without it, you're not going to be able to make any inroads against these guys. it's human intelligence we really need. that will only come from the operators like the french and th

joining me to discuss, retired army colonel jack jacobs, medal of honor recy yent and msnbc military , we know the level of sophistication that our air strikes have, but how do you make that assessment the? what is effective against isis as opposed to when you obliterate an infrastructure that eventually will make it so much harder to rebuild? >> yes, this is going to have some positive tactical effect but at the end of the day, you actually have to get rid of the fighters, and the base, bases from which they operate, the population they support and supports them and so on. it's going to cause a big dent obviously in the amount of money that they are taking in, and that they have, but it's not overall going to have a, that big a strategic effect, because the kind of operations isis conducts doesn't actually require that much money. it will, hour, change the psychology of the whole situation, if they believe that their ability to raise money, keep money, make money, that their bases are going to be under attack, it's not going to change things over the long-term strategically, but it w

colonel jack jacobs is with us and he has two scenarios to play out, one bad and one worse. we know the best case scenario, nothing happens here and it doesn't escalate. but what is the bad case scenario in your view. >> well putin can't do nothing. he's highly motivated to do something here. even though both russia and turkey have very deep economic relationships together. one, is that putin could attack again, ethnic turks, turkman locationed just over the border in syria. that would demonstrate that he doesn't want to put up with this stuff with turkey being aggressive and if he has to fly over the border, he has to in order to attack the people he needs to attack. some of whom are ethnic turks inside of syria. so he is libel to bomb them again. a worse scenario is -- is if putin decides to send a message to turkey and give him leverage in negotiating for whatever he will do. and that is from an aircraft over -- in syrian air spas to launch a long-range air to air missile and take down at least one turkish aircraft flying in turkish air space. and everybody has the abilit

captain groberg described what happened to our very own medal of honor recipient colonel jack jacobs. >> i just remember waking up and kind of like laying there. and my leg, i'm looking at my fibula. it's sticking out. my leg's burning. foot's all messed up. and i'm just kind of like, whoa. i must be stepped on an ied. >> captain groberg's ceremony will be coming up shortly. we will, of course, carry that very important ceremony not just for this young man but for the so many others, men and women, who serve this country and for all of us who have the opportunity to get a glimpse of this event. >>> but right now i also want to turn to some breaking news in the war against isis. a major offensive launched in iraq today that includes intense u.s.-led airstrikes, the aim to retake the isis-held town of sinjar. that's in northern iraq. the terror group overran that town last year. reportedly killing and enslaving thousands. these were the images coming into the world last year. the down's yazidi residents fleeing by the thousands. officials say today's offensive includes a force of some 7

. >> we're joined by medal of honor recipient conditional jack jacobs. we're learning that vladimir putin, how does he act now? >> well there is an idea that says this might motivate him to get more serious about attacking isis in syria rather than just trying to knock off opponents of assad. and if that is the case. it means that we have an opportunity to work more closely with him. and perhaps we can operate together to knock off isis or at least degrade them a lot more than we have up until now. up until now the only guys going after them are united states and france. this may change now that putin knows that isis is behind downing that airliner. >> speaking of the united states. you heard the president talking yesterday in turkey. he's not going to make any rash decisions. not going to change course. this is not necessarily a popular decision but is it the right one? >> probably not. he's got a political problem. he rose to office on the back of a promise to get out of the middle east. he's already done that. we're down to very few people. extended t

msnbc military analyst jack jacobs spoke with one who was l limbs.s shares his story in his book "tough as they come." colonel tell us more about sergeant mills, a true hero. >> he is a man who donned the uniform because he believed then and still believes today that service to others is what really makes us free. a couple of weeks ago i spoke to him in new york. >> i'm on my third deployment in february of 2012. two months later on april 10th, 2012, i sat my bag down on an ied. >> what was the first thing that went through your mind? >> i looked over and this was gone, that was gone. i was like oh, no. when i got on the operating table, the pain started to set in. 14 hours of surgeries. two nurses pumped air into my lungs nine hours straight. they wake up and i have to come to the realization of what happened for the first time. my first question. my soldiers are my soldiers. i said i'm so sorry i let you down. >> you felt like you let them down? >> i did. >> tell me about your wife's reaction. what happened to your relationship. >> definitely came

. >> joining me now, msnbc military analyst, jack jacobs.asure to see you. >> good morning. >> tell me a little bit about general flynn. how important of a role did he play? >> well, he ran the defense intelligence agency, which is the locust of intelligence information that comes from a wide variety of places through him and then ultimately to the cia and to the white house. so, very important. he had access to everything. >> and does, as he says, the united states have a plan or not have a plan? >> it has a plan. there's a difference between having a plan and a strategy. the white house says we are going to degrade and destroy isis. well, which is it? the two are decidedly different in how you attack them. if you want to degrade isis, it take as long period of time, you can attack targets over a wide variety. i have a map that show what is i'm talki ining about. the red is isis. the yellow is supporting. you have to attack all those places over a long period of time in order to degrade. at the end. what do you have? pretty much what you ha

msnbc contributor colonel jack jacobs, also a medal of honor recipient, spoke with him. >> i was alwaysmilitary. >> you were? why the army? what motivated you to join the army? >> war. we're at war. and then i felt it was my duty as an american to go out there and wear the uniform. >> what kind of mission were you engaged in? >> that day we were just going to the security meeting. so we're walking down this road that we've walked many times prior. >> when did you notice something was wrong? >> right after the bat it felt weird. you know you've been there. you know, you step up, and it's just that day doesn't feel right. i knew something was really wrong when we saw the motorcycle was coming from towards us. so i immediately took a look to my left, and there's a guy, who's walking backwards, parallel to my patrol. i took off. you know, my position. i grabbed him by the chest, and you know, the vest. >> he had a suicide vest on. >> i think at this point it's just get him away. got to get him away from the rest of the guys. so you know, push through him. he just landed on my feet, and deto

we're bringing in colonel jack jacobs. if you could actually discuss this this. what does it tell us about these terrorists and if there is a suicide vest that survived, what does that tell us about this group? >> we would be able to probably determine exactly what the origin is of the variou various and intelligence is such these days that we have a fairly good idea of who is in charge in the chain of command and even in a relatively new organization, like isis. so, getting forensic evidence is important. the ak-47s are extremely hard to track down. but explosives are completely different and places where explosions were detonated, the explosive signature would be able to be tracked back. but having a vest, that would tell the authorities, a great -- possibly a great deal about the origin of this attack. >> and if you could, do you think the authorities are focusing on more of a home grown, home made vest here or is this something they think may have been imported? >> the whole notion of having a home grown attack is certainly indicated in this particular case.

joining me is fellow medal of honor recipient courage jack jacobs.our service, first of all, and thank you for also bringing us these stories. >> you know, jose, young people in the military have authority and responsibility way in excess of their years. they acquit themselves honorably on the battlefield and nothing demonstrates this more than the actions of captain groberg. >> i was always going to join the army. >> what motivated you to join the army? >> war. we were at war. i felt it was my duty as an american to go put a uniform on. >> we were walking down this road that we had walked many times prior. >> when did you notice something was wrong? >> i felt weird. you know, you've been there. you step up and it's just that doesn't feel right. i knew something was really wrong when we saw the motorcycled coming towards us. so i merely took my left and there's a guy who is walking backwards parallel to my patrol. i took off from my position. i grand him by the chest and the vest. >> he had a suicide vest on. >> all i could think of was got to get hi

army colonel jack jacobs and medal of honor represent, a terror analyst.o see you. >> you, too. >> we know this is a coalition attack. is there any way to tell it's from a u.s. aircraft. >> there's no way of knowing because everybody has all kindsikind s sin sings of ordnance. that one had multiple explosions so it probably wasn't a sea launched or air launched cruise missile. this one is. >> this is this other video we're looking at now. >> you can actually if you look closely -- and there's another one, too. you can actually see the missile as it's entering from left to right onto the target. and there's a single explosion. this one doesn't. this one has several explosions. and they're either -- they're either secondary explosions or more likely a munition that has several submunitions like cluster bombs which we don't have but the russians do. we don't use them anymore. or we have a weapon that's called a chain gun that fires 30 millimeters exploding projectiles from an enormous machine gun shown here. and it's -- it has a rapid rate of fire. it's absol

with me in studio, colonel jack jacobs. colonel, welcome to you. let's talk about the efficacy of these drills. what's learned from them, and how do they work? >> these are devilishly difficult exercises to pull off. a raid like this. particularly underground or in any urban area, any built-up area is very difficult to do. if you want to be successful at it, you really have to practice it a lot. and that's what they are doing. in an urban area, you have to cordon off the entire area. you have to prevent escape routes. get on top of roofs. in this case, you have to be at both ends of a tunnel. there's lots to do. you have to be able to separate the good guys from the bad guys. kill or capture the bad guys. not hurt the good guys. especially if you don't have a really good handle on what the situation is, your skill at doing all the basics better be top level or it's going to be a catastrophe. that's why they practice it all the time. >> how do they measure success from these drills? one component that may not be there is reality. when the adrenaline

. >> we're going to bring in now retired colonel jack jacobs.recipient and nbc analyst. i want to get your perspective on how we get so many groups with so many varied interests to form this grand coalition against isis especially from a unique american perspective when we disagree so much with putin backing bashar al assad in syria. >> the short answer is with extreme difficulty. what's going to happen is there's going to have to be a great deal of conversation both on the diplomatic front on the one hand, on the military front on the other, and we have to go into these discussions with an expectation that we're going to have to give up something in order to work with these guys to get what we really want, which is the elimination of assad, destruction of isis, not necessarily in that order. that's going to be really tough to do because russia came into the exercise alongside iran, by the way, with the express purpose of having a foot in the door in syria, recognizing that eventually assad was going. they have a head start and they really do in

let's continue the conversation with colonel jack jacobs. first of all, colonel, how difficult would it be for someone to put a bomb in the baggage area of the plane? >> incredibly easy. think of all the people crawling all over the airplane when it's on the ground, before or after the passengers load. caterers. fuel people. baggage handlers. maintenance people. i mean, are these people scrutinized thoroughly? probably not. almost assuredly not in foreign countries. it's really easy -- they're all invisible so it's real easy for these people to do something. >> granted, you're not a member of the tsa, but we're talking foreign airports. don't they have the control over the security measures? i mean, how much can dhs influence? >> very little. don't forget a lot of the things are performed by contractors and sub contractors. you have to do background investigations of everybody. you have to have cct all over the place all the time and monitor it continuously. it's -- it's a lot of eye wash to be honest with you. no way they'll guarantee that

let's bring in msnbc military analyst retired army colonel jack jacobs.oining. the first headline is about this coalition force who can lead and truly who is committed at this point now you have russia saying that isis brought down that jetliner. you have france now with more skin in the game, to use something, a casual reference, but can this all be pulled together effectively? >> well, i think it can if all the participants are serious about putting sufficient forces on the ground, as you heard jim talking about, on the ground authorized to take advantage of the attacks that will be made from the air. i think it's really interesting that in the same breath you said the united states, france and russia. that's the first time in 70 years the three of us have been together. a lot of questions about whether or not putin can be trusted. i think at the end of the day, it's irrelevant whether or not putin can be trusted. it looks like we're beginning to coalesce into a relationship we haven't had for 70 years. >> colonel, but how would you describe it -- and b

army colonel and medal of honor recipient colonel jack jacobs.always a pleasure to talk to you. >> ditto. >> so do you think russia is now bombing raqqa? do you think it's going to make any difference? >> they are bombing and it's not going to make any difference. we were talking in glowing terms about the fact that the french were putting in 20 air strikes. i've been in pire fights in which i've put in 20 air strikes. at the end of the day, as you know, air power, artillery is only good to the extent that it supports troops on ground to seize and hold terrain. if you just bomb them at the end of the day, they're going to come back or somebody will come back. you've got to be able to control the area. that takes a lot of troops and unfortunately a lot of time. i don't see anybody who is very much interested in putting in both the time and the troops in order to take advantage of the air strikes that are going on. >> so russia now says it will coordinate with france. france says it will reach out to washington. and they all want to coordinate with

i want to bring in colonel jack jacobs who joins me once again.beling russia and iran a coalition of two in their desire to see bashar assad hold power in syria, clearly we know the united states wants him out. what impact does that reality have various airstrike campaigns? >> well, it's not going to -- it gets in between us and other people who could take out isis. and that includes russia. i think we're going to have to make some concessions. i think both sides are going to have to make some concessions. and i think that one of the things that hollande is going to do today is try to work out a modus operandi with russia and iran in syria because we're not going to destroy isis without some assistance. certainly some assistance on the ground, but on the air, too. we're going to have to share intelligence with other entities that have intelligence like russia. and russia's not going to be able to keep assad afloat forever without some assistance for us. and so there's going to have to be a meeting somewhere in the middle. unless i'm mistaken, i th

joining us is jack jacobs.you for being here today. >> my pleasure. >> what happens next? >> very little. i think more of the same what we've seen before targeting various places where we have some intelligence but these are all tactical strikes. there's no strategic plan or even a strategic objective. nothing basically. >> this proves that isis is not going to be held in this region, in this area, it proves that it's very dangerous for any western nation to sit back and say, okay, we'll just let this ride out. >> we think they're very dangerous. what isis is looking for is the caliphate and they've said it themselves. they want territory very much different than al qaeda. they want to control all that territory. it's an apocalyptic view of islam, and they're not going to be deterred. >> when you say nothing is happening in terms of what we're going to do to them -- >> that's right. >> -- my question selfishly is what they're going to do to us. >> oh, there are plenty of plans to do the kinds of things that you

jack: we're less than 24 hours away. local five's jacob peklo has been on campus throughout the day today..... trying to soak in some of that atmosphere. he joins us live now from outside drake's sheslow auditorium. jacob stephanie, jack, it's a little more quiet tonight, but that's more of a calm before the storm type of deal. i'm standing in front of old main right now, which is the backdrop for all of the events tomorrow. if you want to call this event a circus, you wouldn't be exaggerating. some people i talked to say this is one of the biggest buildups you'll see for a political showdown. signs, and twitter, and bulldogs...oh my. it's an indication that the political circus is coming to town. rachel paine caufield, political science professor: "i wouldn't say circus because it seems...okay, maybe i would, circuses are well organized and this is surprisingly well organized." while the tents are a sign of the heavy security that'll be in place on saturday, there's still a lot more that meets the eye. kevin bell, drake university: "it's

and now, joining us is colonel jack jacob, and what is the likelihood?well, the europeans, yes, and the french are involved, but we are talking seriously with our other european allies. it is something that we have talked the about before and since this whole thing e began, we don't see much of the people in the region who actually have some skin in the game. who actually have an interest in what is going to be taking place in the region. we are talking about saudi arabia for example, egypt, and we are not hearing much from them, and they are the people who have very good air forces. the air strikes are being conducted by the united states and france and a few others, and we are flying out of ancerlic air base, but we are not seeing the enthusiasm from those in the region who need the stability to change the instability in the region by providing troops or assistance, and we don't hear anything are from them. >> anything from that because it is difficult to know how to attack these two disparate groups. we have france, and isis respon responsible for the

what i want to do right now is bring in msnbc military analyst colonel jack jacobs. colonel, we've been hearing a lot of things obviously this morning. this investigation has really gone from, last week, what looked like a tragedy, then to a mystery and now potentially to something that might look more like a crisis. what did you hear so far that you think is critically important for us to know? >> it sounds like a lot less mystery now than there was before. a couple things come out of it. first of all, that the investigation obviously is at the very, very beginning. weather apparently in the area right now is not very good, so there's not a lot of investigating taking place at that site. when it clears, more investigators will return back to the site. the damaged aircraft is being transported in bits and pieces to cairo. that's a little surprising because you figure they would investigate on site completely. and then they'd bring it all to cairo. but apparently some of it has already moved to cairo. the voice recorder and the -- and the data recorders, both were col

i'm not joined by retired army general jack jacobs.pping up its air campaign against isis. we have this video of vladimir putin talking to military officials in the command center. and french warplanes pounded ice is targets in syria, dropping another 16 bombs on a training post in raqqah. what's going on? is this going to have an impact on isis? >> we hope so. we hope they're pounding isis targets and not discussed what they were doing before, forces in opposite to assad. but this morning's revelation, the russian announcement, that they're convinced their airliner was brought down by a bomb, that may change their minds about whether or not they're going to focus on isis or just focus on propping up assad. indeed it makes an opportunity for the united states and russia and perhaps even iran to work in concert to get rid of isis to focus on them, although it's going to require the united states to stop talking about dumping assad and maybe take the russian line that says he's gone but not until we square away the security situation ins

let me bring in colonel jack jacobs now, medal of honor recipient. t program for the wilson center. good to have both of you with us. jack, let me start with you. president obama spoke earlier this afternoon. he talked about the russian operation in syria. let's play the scholarshclip an to get your reaction. >> they are operating very close to a turkish border and they are going after moderate opposition that are supported by not only turkey but a wide range of countries. and if russia is directing its energies towards daesh and isil, some of those conflicts or potential mistakes or escalation are less likely to occur. >> so the president speaking about the russian military operations over there. everything's happening in tight quarters, but this doesn't, from what richard was just saying, this doesn't appear to just be a matter of not knowing where the other person is. this is more than that. >> the russians are after anybody who's after assad. and that includes the turkmen who are being protected, as we heard, by the turks and have been very a long

we're not going to define that whole region around a couple of incidents. >> todd moss, colonel jack jacobsthanks so much. >>> after the break, more on the new details we are learning about the woman killed during this week's raid in saint-denis, france, and the question that is still remain about her. ♪jake reese, "day to feel alive"♪ ♪jake reese, "day to feel alive"♪ to prove to you that aleve is the better choice this is claira. for her she's agreed to give it up. that's today? we'll be with her all day to see how it goes. after the deliveries, i was ok. now the ciabatta is done and the pain is starting again. more pills? seriously? seriously. all these stops to take more pills can be a pain. can i get my aleve back? for my pain, i want my aleve. get all day minor arthritis pain relief with an easy open cap. >>> welcome back. i'm kate snow with the breaking attack coverage of mali and paris. reports are that there are no more hostages inside the mali hotel that gunmen stormed earlier this morning. initial reports said 170 people were being held inside. we know there were 170 guests and s

jacob/dmc jack, stephanie...i spent my day trying to catch the storm at its very beginning stages. so, that meant heading up to clarion. clarion is in the midst of that thickest snows. you can see on this map all these areas that are in blue are "no tow." that means if you car gets stuck, they won't be able to pick it up until that ban is lifted. all of the main interstates are in orange, which means it's not a interstates are in orange, which means it's not a good idea to take them. for crews like this one, it meant making multiple for crews like this one, it meant making multiple them. for crews like this one, it meant making multiple runs to keep the parking lots and sidewalks clear of the snow. they're also keeping an eye on other drivers to make sure that they don't go sliding into them while they worked. it was not an easy task, but they tell me they had to start early or risk having something far worse happen. but it was definitely a challenge to keep up with the falling flakes. andrew johnson, clarion resident: "on and off, it's been light, heavy at times, but for the most

there's jack jacobs, medal of honor recipient, raising money and those paddles up, i couldn't believe it. $50,000, $25,000, on and on it went, almost $2 million for that foundation. just what a great event. so thank you all for participating and being generous. and poignant this weekend in particular. clear skies and 52, windses are calm and numbers as the variety 36 in madison. yeah, 52 in the city. nice and bright, you can see that, another way to look, let's put the models to work. if we see again a quiet weather week for david price. it looks nice today. it's a cold front tomorrow but stays dry. wednesday, there's a hint of a little bit of light rain and what is basically you could way wednesday is we will tee it up for thursday. we will get the dew points higher and you could see light rain or drizzle in the afternoon. and then thursday, it's mild but by thursday afternoon, that's when we see that front is there for some heavier rain on thursday. so remember, that's really the busy period of the week. till then, just a great fall roller coaster ride, above normal, back close to s

. >> joining us now, someone that might know something about this, retired army colonel jack jacobs. he is also an msnbc military analyst and you probably have an idea of -- just tell us, colonel, what's putin trying to do? what's he likely to do in response to this? and is this something that could really escalate? and something we should all be worried about? >> you were just talking about probably what precipitated all of this, there are tribesmen that are ethnic turks living inside syria territory and they are against assad and they're really close to the turkish border. the turks feel affinity to them. they have warned the russian planes have flown over russian air space before. quit flying over turkish air space and quit bombing them and and that's what happened yesterday. it's apparently over turkish air space and a track where the airplane was and when it was hit it was probably over turkish air space and the real problem obviously is what happens next as you suggested. putin himself painted himself into a corner. he has a lot on his plate. in crimea the lights are out as ter

joining us to talk more about this the medal of honor recipient jack jacobs. ? good morning. >> it's a question i asked literally every guest this morning given they now seem to at least think they've identified the mastermind, but there is a back story to this meanwhile, which is to say intelligence officers tried to track him to multiple places and, therefore, the question gets raised, was this a failure of intelligence? >> yes, of course it was, several times. not just him. some of the others in his ring, knew who they were and where they were and automatic rest of that stuff and didn't manage to get them. there are a couple problems here. the first is the open borders in europe. this is everybody is going to rethink that. once you step inside europe, wherever you come from you're home fry. you can go from one place to the other without a check. the second thing, the fact that they're pals of ours, we're all after the same guys, intelligence shareing is terrible. it's everybody knows a little bit of something. we haven't done a good job of putting it altogeth

right now faces child pornography charges, not anything related to jacob wetterling's case. jack: still-- details about evidence found in heinrich's home caught the attention of a retired des moines police detective who was in charge of ....... eugene martin's case. he was a des moines paperboy who was abducted in 1984. local five's amanda krenz joins us now to preview the special report she's working on about the possible connection. amanda: this case out of minnesota just didn't spark hope with this particular officer, it got a lot of people talking.. .and thinking... could there be a connection with missing boys from the des moines area? we decided to contact the officer who investigated eugene martin's disppearance. while the arrest in minnesota got his wheels turning, it also refreshed his thought's about a case that's haunted him for 30 years. he hopes it makes others think about eugene martin too. a 13-year-old who was about to deliver the newspapers on his paper-route, he vanshed from a street corner without a trace. but eugene is not forgotten, his entire family thinks a
