darrell issa of the house oversight committee is subpoenaing secretary of state john kerry to testify later this month on whether there are other unreleased documents. >> we're still not getting documents as we have requested. we've turned all these things over as far as the subpoena. and we're asking them to turn over the documents that we have requested. these things are trickling out, we're asking the simple question, when will we get all of the documents? he obviously wasn't in the lead when all this occurred. secretary clinton was. but now he has the responsibility to make sure his state department is releasing all the documents we have requested. >> marie harf said yesterday there are no unreleased documents and that the entire exercise is a fishing expedition. >> what the republicans allege that there was attempts by this administration to cover up or spin what happened is 100% false. >> a fox news poll shows that by a margin of 61% to 26%, voters believe the white house is trying to cover up what happened in benghazi rather than being open and transparent. those views are most

like secretary of state john kerry pushing for more action. the president suggested we would ramp up support for the rebels. the key point now seems to be whether the pentagon would start training some of these vetted rebels and you have to do that with congress. they did a conference calls with reporters. one reporter on the call said i don't think we're hearing a straight answer here. to me, my sense is they haven't made up their mind at the white house how hard they want to push that and they have to deal with congress. so the bottom line is still very unclear. gwen: let's go to the 30,000-foot level here. because when you stop and think about it, this week we saw edward snowden break his silence and basically accuse his country of betraying him, instead of himself betraying the country. we saw the administration admit there's very little they can do to help rescue the nigerian girls. humanitarian crises in syrah, sudan, in all sorts of places where this administration would like to have some impact. but it feels like we're playing small ba

john kerry said there needs to be a u.n. security council mandate before the forces can come into the country and hopes the process can happen quickly, in the next few weeks and the forces can be on the ground to prevent a modern day catastrophe. >> in yemen the defence ministry says the army killed five al qaeda fighters and injured dozens more. it's the fourth day of the fingerprintsive against al qaeda. yemeni forces set out to reclaim control of southern yemen. an area the size of new jersey. two weeks ago a u.s. drone strike killed a dozen al qaeda fighters. >>> in nige your security con -- nigeria security concerns are mounting days before app economic conference. 19 were killed in a bombing outside the capital. a similar attack killed 75 at a bus stags, adding to -- station, adding to the pressure on the government following the kidnapping of hundreds of school girls. today police announced more girls were taken than originally reported. >> reporter: there has been misinformation and confusion about the whereabouts of

a subpoena was issued for john kerry to testify about benghazi. crat called the subpoena shockingly disrespectful. they didn't invite kerry. they didn't give him the courtesy of the heads-up. they didn't even check his schedule to see if he could attend the hearing they're planning, which he can't since he'll be in mexico that day. but it's all for the right wing base. >> it is following a track, i think, very similar to watergate. you do anything you can to pry this stall hinist administration open. it's orwellian. >> do not miss brett baier's special tonight about benghazi. >> the obama administration was derelict in the benghazi attack and was dishonest in the aftermath. and the national press doesn't give a damn? >> to me, the equivalent of what was discovered with the nixon tapes. >> it's watergate, it's orwellian? they can't give enough of this fake scandal. we've seen this phony scandal machine before. a.c.o.r.n., fast and furious, the irs, republicans don't have a real agenda, so they're desperate to gin up a scandal, any scandal. because t

a government that secretary of state john kerry says. there may be hard liners within the administration of president salva kiir, and there may be some particular rebel leaders that you would want to target with sanctions. i don't think the targeted sanctions were going to be the difference. if proactive engagement on the highest level, working closely with the neighbouring countries, with ethiopia. it's going to make the difference. i'd say go slow, go hard on diplomacy. >> how much influence cause the u.s. have in this situation? >> i think the u.s. has a lot of influence. what we can do level is use the influence to support and put heft behind the afghan mediation lead by ethiopia and kenya, and by the neighbouring countries. that's what secretary kerry and the envoy were doing, putting real political heft behind the efforts to get a ceasefire. to get meetings between the leaders and get the negotiations going. of course we'll have a major role in the humanitarian sentence. that's the actions of the security council. i take issue with

secretary of state john kerry called nigeria's president for help finding the girls. nigeria said yes. >> what we've done, we've offered and military and law enforcement officials we're going to do everything we can to provide assistance to them. >> reporter: military and intelligence assistance and expert peace and hostage negotiations. international response to the kidnapping was slow at first, but this map shows how word spread on social media. the #bring back our girls exploding around the world over 12 days, reaching 1 million so far. the story of nigeria's missing school girls of ruthless terrorism has touched a nerve around the world. >> it's painful, it's outrage. >> reporter: the terrorists are bent on ending western education in nigeria. their biggest weapon is fear. and it may be working. the girl who escaped when asked if she would go back to school said, no, i cannot go back. i cannot. >> that is nbc's ann curry reporting. >>> climate change matters that is the message president obama is stressing following the national climate assessment. the report draw

>> we have known about this classic john kerry-samantha power faction. do see some divisions about how much to broadcast about the strategy and how quickly to move. that does probably explains some of the muddiness. >> obama is off for europe next week. are we going to see an obama-putin meeting? >> i think so. we will at least a handshake. they haven't wanted to look weak. they do want to be internationalists and multilateralists and make the most of this opportunity to try and come down on the unrest and uncertainties. that the situation in the ukraine has provoked. >> they will both have to work really hard to exude that. >> to contain how much they like each other, that is right. >> there is no love lost. >> zero. >> let me turn to margaret and megan. there was another mass killing at the university of california santa barbara. he killed students, six of them, with a semi-automatic handgun. another horrible story -- will it affect the gun-control debate? >> i don't think so. half of the people he killed were stabbed to death, not shot. that raises th

and that's what brought john kerry here today. he said he has been very frank in his discussions with the president and he told the media the president had agreed to discussions with the leader of the rebels. the president said he was willing to meet with the heard of the rebels. we department know if the rebel leader would agree to this discussion, but john kerry was hoping to talk to him later on today. there is a united nations peace-keeping force which has here for years. they are looking at increasing that by several thousand soldiers, but just second quarter told us there needs to be a new un mandate before the solders could come into this country. he hoped that could happen in the next few weeks. >>> also another day of bloodshed in syria to tell you about. 18 people were killed when two car bombs exploded. 11 of the victims were children. the latest in a series of attacks in the area this week. >>> we are watching washington at that hour. we are expecting a news conference between angela merkel, the german chancellor visit

so is that where the power lies and is that why john kerry is going to duba?he is going to talk to the legitimate president of south sudan and that is something that he needs to be able to do. at the same time we are seeing that both sides, the government and the opposition groups are continuing fighting and oppressing that before negotiations. so going to -- with a message that is unacceptable, that the continuation of the killing shouldn't be going on, that sanctions may come to bear, if they do so targeted sanctions on individuals who are seen to be obstructed ing the peace and reconciliation process i think that is an important message. but much so to press to the two principles, president kia and mashir that really it's time to stop this war on the battlefield and begin the negotiations in earnest. >> all right we will leave it there and many thanks for joining us. to nigeria where a bomb blast killed at least 19 people, it's the second attack in two weeks and happened close to the site of a similar explosion at a bus station last month in which 75 people

secretary of state john kerry who like so many other americans finds snowden simply a traitor to his nation. he's one of the people saying if snowden comes back to this country, it should be to face justice. >> what he's done is hurt his country. what he's done is exposed for terrorists a lot of mechanisms which now affect operational security of those terrorists and make it harder for the united states to break up plots, harder to protect our nation. if this man is a patriot, he should stay in the united states and make his case. patriots don't go to russia. they don't seek asylum in cuba, they don't seek asylum in venezuela. they fight their cause here. they are many a patriot. you can go back to the pentagon papers with dan ellsberg and others who stood and went to the court system of america and made their case. edward snowden is a coward. he is a traitor, and he has betrayed his country, and if he wants to come home tomorrow to face the music, he can do so. >> an energized secretary of state john kerry who made those comments on the air today to our chief white house corresponde

he would be facing a jail cell from the time he step off the plane here, the plane that john kerry offered him. he would be stepping into handcuffs and he would probably never get out unless the he is pea onnage act is changed to allow a defense of public benefit, public interest in which these matters could be brought up. that's what congress should do and even before that the supreme court should at last rule on those aspects that they are unconstitutional, violations of the first amendment and freedom of press. >> we are going to have to leave it there. it is a fascinating parallel. thank you so much for bringing

john kerry has some choice words >>> one of america's most wanted fujtives has reemerged in russia. john snowden doesn't think he is. secretary of state kerry thinks otherwise. >> the united states decided to entrap me in moscow airport. when people ask why are you in russia, i say please ask the state department. >> for a supposedly smart guy that's a pretty dumb answer. if he wants to come back to the united states, today, we'll have him on a flight today. that's what a approximate patriot would do. a patriot would not runaway and look for refuge in russia or some other country, he's a fugitive from justice which is why he's not being permitted to fly around the world. >> in my opinion in typical millenniumal fashion, he was offended by being called for a low level analyst. >> i worked for the central intelligence agency under cover overseas and i've worked for the defense intelligence agency as a lecturer at the joint counterintelligence academy where i developed sources and method for keeping our information secure in the most hostile dangerous environments around the world. when
