in the southeast of the country the head of the kurdistan part of the pkk is serving a life sentence. he has dropped his call for an independent homeland and can is asking for some political autonomy for kurds. they could have a new prime minister within a matter of hours. we go to our news center in london. >> reporter: it's looking increasingly likely that the 39-year-old mayor of florence will become italy's youngest prime minister. the president is now in talks about who will form the new government. we have reports. >> reporter: it's now an all too familiar sight in rome, a parliament without a prime minister. staging a lively demonstration the movement set up want to put politics back in the hands of the people. >> just another leader, just another clown. >> he's likely to have a veto of confidence as prime minister without once being elected to the chamber. here outside of the political circus of rome you get a different perspective, a profound sense of alienation. they just have a new addition to their family. but they don't intend to stay in italy. >> you have the same politi

greta van susteren and a fox news team went to kurdistan with reverend franklin graham's charity organization, samaritan's purse, to take an in-depth look at how the americans and iraqis are helping in the humanitarian crisis. listen. >> to see how the president is dealing with this massive syrian refugee problem, fox files went to the camp. it's hard as an american to understand what it means to be a refugee. >> you saw down here people, they had some used clothes that people were selling, used shoes that people could buy. they have nothing. >> as we look out, is there anywhere from 12 to 17,000 people living in these tents. this refugee camp. >> we've got several hundred thousand people here at four camps. it's like this in lebanon, in turkey. it's like this in jordan. but this happens to be probably one of the better run camps i have seen. >> by the end of 2014, we believe that up to 4 million or more syrians will have left their country. >> seems unreal, but it is real. so don't miss fox files. that's tomorrow at 9:00 p.m. eastern right here on fox news channel. >>> the white house is thi

kurdistan, iraq. it's on the front lines of a humanitarian crisis.ing thousands and thousands of refugees who are fleeing syria's civil war. i went to iraq with reverend franklin graham with see how syrians first are are getting help they need the most. this is exploding humanitarian crisis. here is a look inside the refugee camp. i'm greta van susteren in iraq. and behind me is a valley of refugees. up to 17,000 people who are stateless. and homeless. but there is hope here because people are helping them. >> it poured rain last night. snowed where we were up in the mountains earlier today. >> on this day it was near freezing. and the people we met with reverend franklin graham in the refugee camp had little or nothing. >> they need the heat but they need clothes for children. as you saw, there were kids with those little sandals with no socks. >> bare foot. >> bare foot. >> some kids were just like in a t-shirt. >> inside one tent, i sat down with a 90-year-old woman who was sharing a heater with multiple families. >> how long do they get to keep t

for a moment to discuss the inclusion of the kurdish democratic party and the patriotic union of kurdistanin the patriot act's tier iii designation, terrorist designation. my understanding is that this has become a sort of catch-all designation that has inadvertently mislabeled the kdp and the puk as terrorists even though they have been a stabilizing force in the region and consistently loyal to the united states for decades. as al-qaeda and associated groups expand across the middle east and beyond, it seems like a good time to take count of our remaining friends in the region and maybe take a look at inappropriate designation and recognize that that's harming our very important relationship. with kurdish people. so would the administration be supportive of a legislative solution to in this issue -- to this issue that would exclude these kurdish groups from the tier iii designation? >> mr. chairman, thank you for asking that question and for allowing me to put our response on the record. as you said, the kurdish people, the puk, the kdp has been among our closest friends in the region go

iraq and the political iraq including the kurdish government in the north or the federal entity of kurdistan. it stipulates sharing it so we start by saying okay we will share it and the existing oilfields and the new fields need to be managed with government control. government supervision or government transparency of these contractors. plus the understanding of where the revenue is generated and shared within the iraqi people. and it's clear to us that label is one of the key elements recited together so we use that as a strong incentive. the wealth of the country means you cannot manage that or it's not a very limited wealth. so the restructuring is the inability to work with each other and the key opportunity is our ability to work strongly with each other and mutual interdependence, and that is what we are discussing with the krg. .. increase their share of the oil revenue your we have a key challenge in the whole government of the last 10 years, to do with the ability to govern and -- sorry, the good governance which means your legislation needs to reflect your ability to understand t

. >> now, when you look at lebanon, jordan, turkey, and kurdistan, this is toot -- to the large degree of regional conflict, would you agree? >> certainly has regional implications, absolutely. >> 7,000 foreign nationals would want to return someday to their own country? that's the presumption. >> and the 26,000 there are extremists that, as you point out, who would like to attack the yeast of america? in your words, intentions, i believe. >> well, not all 26,000, necessary, and, by the way, that's the high end for the extremist, but there are long professed a desire of ultimately to attack the homeland. >> so the longer this goes on, really, the more foreign fighters who go in, ect., ect., the more likely there is a greater and greater threat actually to the united states of america, would you agree? >> i would. >> so could you tell in me, in your mind, what are some of the options that we could example in order to change this stalemate on the battle feed as basically as you described it, and i agree with? >> well, sir, there's some things we could do that, at least in my domain, that
