let me read to you what john kerry said. we cannot close our eyes to tanks crossing the border from russia into ukraine. russian soldiers crossing the border and leading so-called separatists again, alleging that it's russian troops russian equipment that is prosecuting that battle and winning in many cases against the ukrainian government forces. that's something the kremlin categorically denies. it's something they haven't reacted to at this time but when they do i can almost guarantee they're going to deny it again. they say they don't have any regular soldiers there. they only provide political and diplomatic support to the rebels in eastern ukraine although they admit there are some volunteers as they call them from russia fighting in that country. these allegations from john kerry something that russia categorically denies. that's not sort of a good basis on which to proceed towards a peace deal. >> all right. matt through chance reporting live from moscow. many thanks. i'll be right back. you wouldn't do half of your

hopefully we get a spark. >> all right. >> kerry?i, robert. >> nice to meet you. >> nice to meet you too. i read a little bit about your profile. three kids, originally from new orleans. great city. >> i was just there for two weeks and i've pretty much ate my way through the two weeks. like any excuse i would say to my kids, want to get a snowball? >> people often say a date goes well if you both have chemistry. but what is chemistry? well, it's a combination of factors that subconsciously tell us whether another person is worthy of being our mate. including the symmetry of their face, the pitch of their voice, and possibly pheromones. that's right. love could literally be in the air. a spark can happen at lightning speed and as little as 90 seconds, our brains kick in darwinian mode to see if another person is attractive or not. >> you have three little girls? >> i have flee kithree kids. an 8-year-old and twin 3 years old who are hilarious and the most work you could ever imagine. >> most mi hang out with have kids. i have no kids

i don't know how you get to the ultimate reality that senator kerry, or that secretary kerry is talkingbout. i don't understand it. i mean i get in a sense what he is trying to do. they're trying to deflect. not unlike what the white house does when they try to minimize the problem. just talking about how things are good hoping things are good and hoping the problem goes away is not a national security strategy. there is this disconnect. director clapper had his own issues over the past few years describing things and trying to explain exactly what sort of threats we face. >> and lying. >> there is that, depending how you want to phrase it. but, you know, he is right in the sense that, we are now facing more threats than we have seen, certainly, if you take the past decade. people say what about 9/11? well yes, the threats have morphed. they have changed. at least the administration is not trying to address that they're trying to create alternate vision what the world is like so they can operate in. >> that is as an assessment of the threat where it exists globally. what about the unite

secretary kerry is awaiting the arrival of other leaders.agel meeting with nato allies in belgium. ukraine fueling debate that maybe the military alliance should be more focused on radical jihadists. >>> jordan unleashes its first wave of new air strikes on isis and could energize the u.s.-led offensive on the terror group. let's begin in jordan and its capital city. cnn's atika shubert is in amman where fighter jets were spotted earlier today. hi atika. >> reporter: hi carol. we actually saw the fighter jets and we know the strikes against isis were timed with the visit of king abdullah and the family of mu'ath kasasbeh. we have spoke tone the father of the pilot. he says king abdullah told him personally the fighters jets that flew overhead today were returning from their mission, striking isis targets in raqqa, the isis stronghold in syria. it does appear jordan has unleased that retaliation against isis. we are, however, still waiting for more details from the jordanian military. >> i'll ask you a question anyway. do we know how long the

john kerry stated himself yesterday.n you really look at picture globally and historically, the world is a safer place than it has been in a long time. i guess the big question, is why? why is that the headline that they want out there right now? >> because look i think the reason they want that headline out there is because that defeats the message that this has been a failed president on foreign policy if you can say look, the world is richer than it has ever been, basically true right? a lot of folks in africa pulled out of poverty by democracy and capitalism. but you have the spread of jihaddism in africa. it is definitely not safer than it has been. by saying that they're able to counter the narrative, that you know, with the spread of isis tearing apart of ukraine with question of nato's stance against russia and all these other things, this is a failed president in foreign policy he doesn't like that. historically, the president will be judged as one of the most failed foreign policy presidents this country has ha

whether john kerry has a message from the u.s.inistration as to them changing their policy with regard to providing lethal aid to the government's side. the policy at the moment is to provide non lethal aid. night vision goggles and jackets. they stop short of providing weaponry. the big risk that the administration is having to weigh is what the impact would be. the reaction of the russians and vladimir putin, the russian leader is unpredictable. would he see this as escalation and respond in kind? it is a difficult balance that the u.s. administration has to make. remember the stakes are extremely high. already in the war zone as it stands more than 5,000 people have been killed. if there is an escalation many hundreds of thousands of people's lives could be put at risk. >> matthew chance in moscow thank you. >>> unusual warning from the judge during day three of the testimony in the aaron hernandez murder trial. it happened when the mother of murder victim odin lloyd broke down on the stand after being shown a picture of her so

kerry the u.s. official here today in kiev wanting a diplomatic solution for this, but at the same time saying that, you know, the u.s. cannot ignore the facts of he says ukrainian tanks -- sorry russian tanks coming across the border into ukraine. the french president hollande also saying that diplomacy cannot go on indefinitely and there is a push to arm ukraine. they've been supplying flak jackets and night vision, but there's rumor to say open that up and to supply heavier weapons. it is also interesting, of course, we have a meeting nato meeting in brussels today where it's expected that nato members will agree to these five command centers across eastern european countries and additional 5,000 rapid reaction troops, which of course is not going to go down very well with president putin in russia. so at the moment, certainly the u.s. secretary of state's visit and this push by european figures, president hollande and german chancellor angela merkel, there seems to be all these thoughts coming o

secretary kerry: ok. senator corker: i appreciate very much your comments regarding the modern slavery initiative. senator menendez and i introduced legislation today that hopefully will move through the committee later this week and onto the senate floor. and i know you are committed to the same. and i just want to close with this. i think there is a concern. and i know we're going to have a lot of testimony. i know there is concern. we're going to have a lot of testimony over the next several weeks regarding syria. there is a sense of a lack of commitment. you are not going to dispel that today. but i do hope as witnesses come forth they will be open and transparent about the things that are underway. because today i think there is a sense that in essence we have a containment strategy that we're in essence riding the clock out until this president leaves office. we have the same concerns right now in ukraine. where we lured them west. they gave up 1,240 nuclear weapons. obviously russia would not be ,

flowery assessment but declaring to fox "secretary kerry is out of touch with reality. he clearly is not listening to the entire u.s. intelligence community. he is not reading any of the intelligence or other things that have been written over the last few weeks, months, years." white house spokesman josh earnest tried to square the statements by saying clapper ac knowledged the threat from isis but kerry noted their capacity to carry out attacks is being diminished. >> how could secretary kerry make the claim to the american people, to the world that we are safer than we were before? >> well, i think he could do so with the evidence on his side. what he was able to testimony bhon straight and i think what he was discussing, is the success that our bill tary campaign has had in applying significant pressure. >> reporter: except syrian activists say the number of christians abducted by isis in the northeast part of the country has risen to 220, while isis released a video today allegedly showing the bill tants using sledgehammers to smash ancient artifacts in iraq. altho

or the actor kerry? kerry ran to get the towels. i can't tell you.my: okay. >> that's a spoiler. >> jimmy: you were kidnapped, yes? >> yeah. >> jimmy: do we know who kidnapped you? >> i do. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: does america tonight know who kidnapped you? >> for those of you who have watched the show, you kind of know. >> jimmy: kind of? >> kind of. >> jimmy: i see. how can you kind of know? >> that's how it is in shonda land. kind of as in kind of being pregnant, no. you kind of know. >> jimmy: you're still tweeting during the episode? will you be tweeting -- >> i guess we seem very nervous. we don't want to say things we're not supposed to say. i like my job and i don't want to get fired. >> jimmy: i think you're safe, i really do. >> after "game of thrones" i feel like nobody's safe on any show ever. >> matt: keep shonda away from those people over there. >> why are you watching that show, shonda? don't watch "game of thrones," it's terrible. terrible. >> jimmy: the way they treat their actors, preposterous. you live tweet during the show? >> ev

this is what secretary of state john kerry said yesterday when he appeared on "meet the press." [video clip] sec kerry: i have no doubt that additional assistance of economic kind and other kinds will be going to ukraine. we do so understanding that there is no military solution. the solution is a political, diplomatic one. but president cl hadputin president -- president puti has gotn to take the offramp and we have got to remain committed to the sovereignty of ukraine. host: yes the meeting with other leaders for the national security conference in munich, and "the wall street journal" reporting this "the economic pain could force mr. putin to reevaluate his tactics. supporters of providing legal military supplies argued that it could change the kremlin's calculus, potentially by causing more russian casualties there. the question to all of you as washington debates this -- should the west be arming the ukraine against russian-backed rebels? willy, democratic caller. caller: how you doing g reta? host: good morning. caller: i am not for the west arming the great, particularly

and frankly, secretary kerry there sharing that anger.everybody knows that russia is in eastern ukraine. we have intercepted conversations between russian commanders and troops on the ground. we have satellite photos. other means of confirming that. but this is the counterpart that the u.s. and the west have now in peace negotiations. a counterpart who denies the facts on the ground. it's not a promising preface to any peace negotiations. >> all right. excellent work. thank you for that. >>> now for a quick look at some of the other top stories. stars and stripes is reporting that the u.s. navy a investigating a sailor accused of videotaping female officers inside their bathroom. allegedly taking place aboard on aircraft carrier. the ship on a temporary basis during flight qualifications. >>> today, a judge is hearing arguments to unseal the grand jury records in the eric garner case. grand juries declined to indictment the officer for putting garner in a choke hold that led to garner's death. the judge will decide whether or not to relea

a lot of fighting going on now as kerry arrives in kiev.re is fierce fighting under way which is caught many civilians. amnesty international group says there are 7,000 civilians still trapped inside that town as shelling continue around them. that's reduced from a population of 25,000 a few days ago. a lot of movement and displaced by the fighting. a lot of people killed in the shell fire and gunshots as well. >> matthew chance for us. as you can see, the secretary of state, any moment now, will deplane and continue the talks with officials. >> very important visit. >>> happening now, divers searching the wreckage of a deadly plane crash. investigators trying to figure out what went so wrong. we're live after the break. >>> happening now, divers combing the wreckage of a deadly plane crash. dozens killed. many still missing. taiwan grounding the plane to inspect. >>> new this morning, the outrage growing over the murder of a jordanian pilot killed by isis. new calls for vengeance across the middle east. >>> breaking overnight, hackers atta

all right, ed, so secretary of state john kerry says we're safer and to the white house defending its claims, right? >> what a difference 24 hours makes, because yesterday secretary kerry said that the american people have never been safer. today james clay was on capitol hill saying the opposite. the data coming in shows there's more terror attacks. the complete opposite. >> how could secretary kerry make the claim to the american people, to the world, that we're safer? >> he could do so with the evidence on his side, i think what he was able to demonstrate and what he was discussing is having had success in a applying pressure to the -- >> reporter: secretary kerry is out of touch with reality, he clearly is not listening to the entire u.s. intel community he is not reading any of the intelligence or other things that have been wring over the last few weeks, months or years. josh ernest went on to say that isis has been -- basically on the rung, where have we heard that before? we heard that with al qaeda, gretchen. >> meantime the clinton foundation fundraising has been under a lot

look, secretary kerry, i think probably needs to have a coffee with mr. clapper and get his numbers straight. >> you know, for the life of me secretary kerry was chairman of the senate foreign relations committee. i mean he has seen it all. he has traveled the world. but, you know, this i really don't get. of course this comes on the heels of him wanting to give paris a hug in the face of 13 getting slaughtered. i don't know the number. or even bringing james taylor to sing you have got a friend in paris. i realize he is in the diplomacy side and not the defense side but, you know if we don't get a straight story, if we get it sugar coated, you know, jonathan gruber may think we are stupid but we really aren't that stupid. >> well, that's right. secretary kerry, keep in mind, is a politician and has been one for a very long time. >> but he -- but, listen, is he a politician but he is whether you agree with him or not, is he a patriot, he has served our nation in the military and the senate. >> absolutely. >> this is -- i don't get. this it sounds like he

john kerry met president poroshenko in kiev, kerry saying the u.s. wants a peaceful solution but will not close its eye to say russia's actions. it is part of a diplomatic push to end the fighting. angela merkel and president hollande plan to fly to moscow friday. nato has been meeting in brussels to decide on a new rapid reaction force planning to strengthen it's eastern european flank. >> in driving snow, john kerry was the first to arrive in kiev on thursday, offering u.s. support ukraine and warnings to russia. >> we cannot close our eyes to tanks that are crossing the bored herb from russia into ukraine. we cannot close our eyes to russian fighters in unmarked uniforms crossing the border and leading individual companies of so-called separatists in bat jewel he'll be followed by the leaders of france and germany president hollande and german chancellor angela merkel. >> we will present a new proposal to resolve the conflict based on the territorial integrity of ukraine and discuss it with president poroshenko today and friday with the russian pr

so we perhaps by kerry's own logic, we ought to be questioning his judgment.would say that his performance in the job he has now as a diplomat somebody exercising judgment, is not exactly sterling. two conferences in geneva about the syrian war that have all dissolved in disarray. he tried to get negotiations between israel and the palestinians where everyone knew it would not succeed. of course it collapsed and helped precipitate the gaza war. lastly, he has spent the last year and a half chasing the foreign minister of russia around europe with absolutely zero success and getting played by the russians on ukraine. what he does is complains and he said this publicly that the russians have lied to him, which is absolutely astonishing to hear that. that anybody in his position would be surprised that a russian foreign minister would speak an untruth. >> chuck you know you hear the administration stepping up this rhetoric ahead of this visit. obviously, like i said, we knew things were tense but this is almost to a different level ahead of an israeli prime minis

it seems to me john kerry almost agrees with this.nless there is some type of broad outline of what the iran is going to do. they are not going to kick the can down the road. the consequences of not having an agreement are profound and huge but it does seem the united states is putting out the statement right now, this is put up or shut up time the next month or so month and a half will be absolutely critical to getting a deal. >> mark murray chris jansing, thanks so much. we greatly appreciate you joining us. that does it for this edition of "news nation." up next, "andrea mitchell reports" with live coverage of the news conference with president obama and chance lower merkel. thanks to angie's list now it is. we've made hiring anyone from a handyman to a dog walker as simple as a few clicks. buy their services directly at angieslist.com no more calling around. no more hassles. start shopping from a list of top-rated providers today. angie's list is revolutionizing local service again. visit angieslist.com today.

secretary of state john kerry offered support to president poroshenko. the french president hollande and german chancellor angela merkel arrived for talks. >> we talked about the harmest threat that ukraine faces today and that is russia's continued aggression in the east. there's no other way to call it. >> we highly appreciate the united states invaluable support to our nation and our people through all the time of ukraine independence. the support has become most evident viewed in russian aggression on crimea and on donetsk. the beyond leading role in consolidation of the plans of solidarity in support of ukraine is critical for pushing of the peaceful solution. we are grateful for the consistent engagement of the state department and you personally mr. secretary, into this effort. >> let's hear now from our correspondent with the latest from moscow. >> president putin on paper at least in his statements will say much the same as john kerry was just saying exempt for the facts of course, that he would resolve himself and russia of any blame that kerri

secretary of state john kerry has been talking about the plans to get them. let's hear what he has to say. >> as dash retreats to syria, we continue the fight and to put pressure on the bashar al-assad regime there's no place for a brutal dictator. the fight against violent extremists will not be decided on the battlefield. we have to remain deeply committed to this fight. those not yet committed need to commit to the fight. it is unrelenting. >> sounds there like john kerry wants more countries to join the coalition in the fight against i.s.i.l. >> well certainly that's the message coming out of here that this is a global threat and needs to be countered in a global way, that all countries are not spared from the threat and give a long list of achievements. so far there has been 2,000 air strikes, about a fifth of the territory is under i.s.i.l. chrome that it was lost by the group. he said that some of the controls have been retaken. he did say that unless there is a global approach meaning it has to start in schools, there has to be economical and politica

king abdullah met with kerry today. this is profoundly difficult for the jordanians and because politically, this pilot was from a prominent tribe. and the tribal leaders have been protesting outside the royal palace demanding the release and prisoner swap. >> there's no doubt about it. the pilot, before he's murdered in the video, the pilot specifically discusses about the idea of that jordan is waging a war and this and that. again, it's very clear that this is a message aimed at the jordanian government. there's plenty of footage of the king. and also there's talk of all of the various other arab nations participating here including nations like qatar and turkey and others including the specific air bases and locations in which these different countries are providing support. so again, i don't think there's much of a question about what the message is here. the message trying to insystem date jordan and various other different nations part of this coalition. it contains remarkable amount of information from the pilot

that's what we are building. >> secretary of state kerry was asked whether the u.s. is in a fight against radical islam. his response isis has nothing to do with islam that the u.s. is in a fight against a radical group of terrorists and criminal anarchy. >> john huddy, thanks. hillary clinton breaks her silence. why do people try and often fail to outrun trains? how do i get hotel deals nobody else gets?... i know a guy. price-line ne-go-ti-a-tor! i know this guy... konohito... and this guy... who knows a guy. hey guy. i know a guy in new york, vegas, dallas. i've known some guys for decades and some, nice to meet ya, let's deal. my competitors may know a guy, but i know over 60,000 guys. and gals. exclusive hotel deals - up to 60% off...priceline.com hey, girl. is it crazy that your soccer trophy is talking to you right now? it kinda is. it's as crazy as you not rolling over your old 401k. cue the horns... just harness the confidence it took you to win me and call td ameritrade's rollover consultants. they'll help with the hassle by guiding you through the whole pr

he's traveling with secretary of state john kerry. kerry mincing no words today. you were there at that news conference. he's putting all the blame directly on russia. >> reporter: no question. mincing no words. calling them out in no uncertain terms and in unison with ukrainian leaders the president poroshenko and prime minister. i asked him, because our cnn colleagues in moscow reached out to the kremlin, saying there are no russian troops here. a real powerful moment when i brought that up with secretary kerry and the ukrainian prime minister. have a listen. >> my cnn colleagues reached out to the kremlin for reaction to your statement alongside president poroshenko earlier today. kremlin spokesman took particular issue with your saying there are russian forces inside ukraine escalating the situation. he said there are no russian tanks or army in ukraine, these accusations are not true. i wonder if you could react to that and answer if you believe the u.s. and the west could have a reasonable negotiation with a counterpart who has an opposed view of even the fa

a claim secretary of state john kerry dismissed during testimony on capitol hill while questioning the prime minister's ability to make sound judgments. >> the prime minister as you recall was profoundly forward leaning and outspoken about the importance of invading iraq under george w. bush and we all know what happened with that decision. he may have a judgment that just may not be correct here. >> joining the panel this week, wall street columnist and deputy editor, dan henninger. and global view columnist bret stephens. let's start with netanyahu. why would the administration want to elevate this speech? i know they oppose his appearing, but why make it such a personal and highly political criticism like they have the last week? >> well i think there's a couple of reasons, paul. obviously, a public relations offensive to marginalize and diminish the israeli prime minister in advance of this speech. >> but they're elevating its prominence. this is going to be the speech of the year. >> i completely agree. i mean, i don't see how this works for the administration. prime minister neta

secretary of state, john kerry.understand he will be meeting with the russian foreign minister in munich over the weekend. >> erin for us in moscow. a flurry of developments while people are dying in ukraine. >>> jordan is striking back at isis hitting training centers and armed depots. claiming the targets were destroyed completely. jordan's foreign minister says the military is just getting started. >> it is actually the beginning of our retaliation of the horrible murder of our young pilot. it is not the beginning of the fight. we have been in the current effort for a few weeks and we have been fighting terrorism for a number of years. so yes, we are upping the ante and going after them with everything we have. it is not the beginning and certainly not the end. >> jordan named the operation moath after the pilot. jordanian state television reflecting the depth of the public rage there. released video of the bombing run and air force personnel, including a unformed woman writing taunts aimed at isis on the bombs.

john kerry insists the points of agreement must be in place next month. secretary claims the iranians have had more than enough time to prove their nuclear program is peaceful. >>> boston and the northeast in the grips of another snowstorm. snow falling hard in parts of new england with some areas facing up to more than 2 feet of snow. boston still digging out from 55 inches of snow. the mayor says there is no place to put it all. >> adding to last week's snowfall in the span of time, this is an unprecedented area now in the city of boston as far as the amount of snow. >> parts of new england have seen half a foot of snow overnight. let's get the forecast from meteorologist karen maginnis. >> john, we are focused on boston because it is staggering. this is the third snowstorm in as many weeks. piled up is 63 inches of snowfall. way above where they should be for this time of year. they are wondering where to put the snow. the snow-zilla. removing the snow from the railroad tracks. it is hard to keep up. they are saying schools are closed. if you don't hav

and hear john kerry say that is juz bizarre. >> it is bizarre. but it's not just bizarre, it's dangerous. it shows a lack of appreciation of the threat we face. the american people are way ahead of this administration in terms of their perception of the threat. and they have to take this threat seriously. when the enemy says we are going to be in conflict, you have to take the words of the enemy seriously. we didn't take the words of osama bin laden seriously in the 1990s. and 9/11 was the price we paid. we cannot afford to make that same mistake again. >> very true. marc, thank you very much. >> thanks martha. >>> so my next guest will be testifying before congress tomorrow on the efrlts to defeat isis. general jack keane is the chairman of the institute for the study of war and fox news military analyst. general, good to have you here this evening ahead of your testimony. >> good to be here, martha. >> one of the things you're going to talk about is this authorization of military force congress is working onto sort of sign-off on the president'

as you say, john kerry in kiev. he is the main thrust of that negotiation is about whether the united states should be equipping the ukranian army with more serious weaponry that it currently is it is supplying it with nonlethal weapons, there was a thought that the u.s. should expand that to include lethal material. in a press commence an hour or so ago the french president francis hollande announced he and merkel will fly to kiev and on to moscow. that has been confirmed by the kremlin. so this is definitely happening. what is it going to be about? >> francis hollande was saying there'll be a new peace initiative and it will be based on the territory of ukraine. beyond that we know little at the moment and no details have been released. it will be whether it will involve hard ball tactics from the european union, will it be a capitulation or concessions to the russians we know most involve a degree of both of these two things. >> right. vladimir putin will be watching this flurry of diplomatic movement. what will

john kerry addressed that too saying we're not interested in a proxy war.a's behavior. we're not choosing a military outcome but you cannot have a one-sided piece. john kerry is now headed to munich where he will meet tomorrow with the russian foreign minister lavrov here in kiev is the german chancellor angela merkel before going to moscow tomorrow where they will meet president putin, who of course denies he is supplying weapons to the ukrainians. so a day of diplomacy trying to catch up with the spiraling violence. we've had dozens killed here in recent days. a death toll now of more than 5,300 since this conflict began. and the dangers both in supplying weapons and the dangers ahead are really huge. back to you, ronan. >> nbc's bill neely, thank you. so far the u.s. only provided nonlethal assistance to the ukrainians, but this seems to be changing the tone in washington. i'm join by charles wald retired four star general and former deputy commander of u.s. european command also one of eight former u.s. officials who wrote a report issue by brookings ca

while secretary kerry vowed that the u.s. will not turn its back on russian aggression in pretending it's not happening, the obama administration of course has hesitated to provide what ukraine says it needs, lethal military aid. secretary kerry promised the president would make up his mind on that issue soon. i want to go right to cnn chief national security correspondent jim sciutto in kiev traveling with secretary of state john kerry. how forceful was secretary kerry in what he said today? >> reporter: well i will tell you, forceful words, certainly unequivocal assignment of blame on russia but in terms of the solution to this problem, the peace agreement, the economic sanction on russia perhaps the military aid to ukrainian forces that proving elusive even as ukrainian officials, american officials, western officials, unanimous in just how dire the situation on the ground has become. secretary kerry arrived in ukraine in the midst of what state department officials called a grave escalation on the ground. ukrainians descr

secretary of state, john kerry says he and washingtonts allies are considering more sanctions againstsia. he said they are being left with little option because moscow continues to undermine the cease-fire in ukraine. kerry made the comments in london where he has been meeting his british counterparts. >> we are talking about additional sanctions, additional efforts. i am confident that over the course of the next days, people are determined to make it clear we are not going to play this game. we are not going to sit there and be part of this kind of extraordinarily craven behavior at the expense of the sovereignty and integrity of a nation. >> joining us in our london studio is rosalind jordan traveling with the secretary of state. it's great to have you in london. first of all, >> it's being conducted and in fact a couple of hours ago, we had a press conference with secretary kerry where he said we actually have more sanctions that could do even more damage. we have been trying to avoid hurting the russian people because our fight is not with the russian people. however, we do have
