reporter: lebanon's valleys are cold and rainy, but it is safe.he bombardments of eastern aleppo, and the families who are here, that is where they have fled from. it is the third time frank-walter steinmeier has commented on this. his second time, in this particular refugee camp, and one thing has not changed in the two years since he was last year. frank-walter steinmeier: all of the people want to go back home. they are in touch with those parts of the families still back in syria, even relatives and aleppo. there has not been unfavorably that said they would not go back as soon as the security intuition allows it. reporter: these children represent the future of a devastated country. syrian refugees in a lebanese school. there are so many they outnumber local schoolchildren. an afterschool session was set up to make sure the syrian children can have lessons. during the last three years, germany provided 125 million euros to secure education in lebanon. they want to get rid of conflicts with the new president in lebanon, now that he has sharpen

tom: adam pletts reporting from lebanon. the obama administration says that the russian president, vladimir putin, personally gave the green light for the email accounts of democratic officials to be hacked in the run-up to the presidential race, something the white house says helped 'sesident-elect's trump campaign. russian authorities called aeschylus. >> -- call that scurrilous. in an interview with national public radio, president obama said, -- pres. obama: when any foreign government interferes with our elections, we need to take action, and we will. some of it may be explicit and some of it may not they. as vladimirks come putin has been blamed for russia was accused of involvement in the theft and release of emails from the democratic national committee in the months prior to the election. the cia believes the actions were aimed specifically at helping donald trump win. that view is not unanimous among american agencies. trump himself has ridiculed the assertions, recently claiming incorrectly that complaints of russ

not allow the advanced syrian weaponry to be sent across the border into the hands of hezbollah in lebanon. this month there's been reports from the syrian media they waged air strikes against convoys so -- and arms depot, so israel has a interest in preserving the red line and let's hope it doesn't involve friction. >>> what has to happen in israel now between now and when these actually become operational? >> that's an excellent question because there is a long process. we got to remember, it took about 10 years for israel to reach this stage where it has its first pair of f35's. there will be another intense process. at least a year for them to declare ioc but many, many years afterwards, as they adapt israeli unique weaponry, they're integrating communications and electronic warfare and putting it all together in one force package. it could take years but the bulk of the work will be done in the year to come. >> when we return, leanne karat, president and c.e.o. >>> for some time declining demands for the f18 created uncertaintydy about production but recent orders created new found op

we have had reports from lebanon and now we are turning our attention to china.barber is donein of the business of ali barber is done in china. america has put it on a blacklist due to the counterfeit sales online. the company was accused of selling high levels of fa ke accused of selling high levels of fake goods. aliba ba accused of selling high levels of fake goods. alibaba rejects those allegations and says it polices the marketplace much better than in the past, and it also says that today's political climate in america at have something to do with the fact it is back on the blacklist. president—elect donald trump repeatedly accused china of stealing intellectual property and has appointed an outspoken critic as head of the trade body. but donald trump has not taken office yet so the authorities would probably disagree with alibaba's speculation that it disagree with alibaba's speculation thatitis disagree with alibaba's speculation that it is back on the blacklist. just before we finish this half of outside source, let me remind you of some very significant

we wait to see if another fire breaks out just in lebanon.ne is being tempered down. some of the groups involved in the vote at the groups involved in the vote at the un have said, you have got to provide access for humanitarian aid, we need to have independent monitors. how likely are those two things going to happen?” monitors. how likely are those two things going to happen? i think from where we are at the moment, independent monitors on what part of this is filed deal. humanitarian aid. we have to see if the ceasefire holds —— independent monitors are not part of the ceasefire deal. that's not forget, the un have lost people and material very recently in attacks which were blamed on the syrian regime and its trucks after it had been giving guarantee of safe passage. they will be wary of sending aid in the areas which seems to have a very shaky military situation. thank you. at least 28 people have been killed in two bomb explosions at a busy market in baghdad. more than 50 others were wounded in the blasts, which happened in the early mo

whether it is in libya, lebanon, syria, iraq, i mean, it is astonishing that the united states could have been as fe by barack obama and that he and his team can be as out of touch with reality as they are. so my first advice to the new president is going to be, be a little cautious about what you think you know. and, frankly, one of the reasons the senator was very generous in allowing me to work with him on some things and jim mattice was part of that. i can't imagine a more cautious, sophisticated professional than general mattis. i mean, he understands the region but he also understands the limitations of american power and you know, this is not an area you engage in lightly. and i think you also understands our greatest enemy in the region is iran. you know, this is not an area you engage in lightly. i think he also understands the greatest enemy in the region is iran. if you go back to reagan, he had a clear sense of hierarchy. one of the reasons he did not get deeply involved in taking on the iranians even though they were behind the bombing of american marines in lebanon, is

in lebanon, hezbollah's intransient held hostage the process of forming a government for over two years and iran continues to transfer sophisticated weapons that threaten israel's security. i'll stop listing the examples but it's clear if you don't have to work hard to identify the fingerprints of iranian terror across the region. for iran's leaders and the irgc, investment in this type of unconventional warfare is just enough to keep the region off balance and more than enough to ensure a constant state of instability and unpredictability. iran's threat network is a shared challenge and reviewing our options for counting iran proxies, i believe we must look at the shared solutions. the united states cannot go it alone and eliminate iran's proxies. there's no unilateral solution. so our approach must take into account the requirement of international cooperation and coordination. in the region, that means intelligence sharing and security cooperation with our partners. outside the region, that means ensuring the sanctions on iran for its use of terrorism have meaningful impact to accomp

the one thing that is very clear is that is in this part of the world -- palestine, lebanon, syria --t's been cooked for many, many, many generations. on the other hand, you get like jews from yemen coming here in the '50s. >> anthony: right so they can say, hey, my great uncle was in syria at the time and it was him, i remember distinctly. >> yotam: so there's actually no answer to it but the question of food appropriation or who owns the food is massive here. they can go on arguing about it forever. the old city's divided into four quarters. there is a- muslim quarter. there's a jewish quarter. there's a christian quarter and there's an armenian quarter. each one functions independently, but people that live in the certain area are all from that religion. so here you see these israeli flags over this house, so basically jews have bought this house although it's in the muslim quarter. that's very controversial because it breaks the separation that people would normally expect in the city. now we're walking in the steps of jesus christ right? >> anthony: as i so often do. >> yotam: so

you are just that from the syria lebanon border. what did you see there this. >> well, every refugee i interviewed and i was there on behalf of the american university of rome trying to recruit students actually syrian refugees to bring and give scholarships here, and every story, every man, woman, child, whoever managed to be in touch with somebody from aleppo, the story they told us were horrifying stories of mass murder, of basically rape, mass rape, of rape campaign of women committing suicide to actually, they choose suicide over rape. they don't want to be raped so they kill themselves. they talk about people burning in their home. they talk about the regime won the war and already won every military operation, yet they want to destroy total destruction of aleppo. what we are seeing under our eyes, what's taking place is a mode modern genocide. it's another bosnia and ro wanda where the world promised never again and here we are. they are emboldened, the russians and the syrians together with the iranian's militia because they

the militia occupation from lebanon, iraq, and afghanistan. the regime exists and can continue to have some sovereignty. that will probably create a new creation in the conflict with and unknownin parameters. anchor: many uncertainties. but what you believe on the immediate horizon will be the next phase as you mentioned? as long as the americans are marginalized, the transition in the obama to trump administration in january will keep them busy and other things. consider thisight is after they have changed the balance of power on the ground. they can impose some political conditions. the sponsor ofe the political process. they probably will have some conditions related to the kurdish militias and related to what they created as a kind of protector zone with the turkish operation. iran has other objectives. in order to attack other areas that the opposition controls. and damascus in the south and the area to the north. keepll see if they agreeing on everything or if we start with some differences and approaches that will not always coincide. p

of this asyrian experience and like father said, you would find them in iraq and even in iran and lebanon and syria. my family, my great grandfather was an orthodox priest >> okay >> he served in iran in the 1930s. >> and he was a, quite a powerful preacher and missionary priest who converted many people and then he had to flee because of that. he wasn't really welcomed to do that in a predominantly muslim country so he fled to iraq and started a mission parish there. he had three sons who all became priests and these were my great uncles so i'm kind of following in their footsteps >> there's a lineage >> there's a lineage in terms of my story >> father, you have family now in syria >> and iraq. i do have family in iraq. most of them are trying to leave. some of them have stayed. it's very difficult. i have one aunt who in fact just came recently and she had lived there her whole life and it was hard to pick up and leave at this stage in her life but you have to. thankfully, i think there is an effort now to create a region in northern iraq for christians, for the asyrians because this is

and fred pleitgen joining us from beirut, lebanon, not far from the syrian border.et's bring back the former defense secretary chuck hagel. you look at these two situations, aleppo and mosul, let's talk about syria first. when you left the obama administration, you were upset the president had delivered an ultimatum, a red line, if syria used chemical weapons, they would pay a price. the u.s. did not cross that red line, if you will. i want you to listen to what the president recently told our fareed zakaria about this. >> i think it is the smartest decision from a menu of bad options that were available to us. do i believe that it would have been a profound mistake for us to wade in and to currently have 100,000 troops or 50,000 troops inside of syria right now, do i think that the situation would be better for us? i do not believe so. >> okay. we do know the slaughter that has gone on over these years. 400,000, maybe half a million people in syria have been killed. millions have been made homeless. refugees. was it a mistake to issue that red line and not follow t

he said he was from egypt, then lebanon, then tunisia.e used six different names, lived all over the place in germany and westphalia and the south. this is a major point, and during his time, he had contact with prime i.s. suspects from germany. brent: do we know how police know that he had that contact? have they given us that evdence? reporter: not from official sources, but from backgrounds and a number of different puzzle pieces from various medias that he was in touch with actually nis --an i.s. preacher who was arrested last month, said to be the number one of i.s. in germany. there were contacts to our prime suspect anis amri. brent: it could be another place for the investigation, certainly not the end of the story. think you very much. -- thank you very much. german lawmakers were brought up to speed regarding the latest developments with the truck attack when senior cabinet members and officials and police commanders attended an emergency meeting of the internal -- bundestag's internal affairs committee. reporter: this is the sl

in lebanon, hezbollah held hostage the process of forming the government for over two years and theyue to transfer sophisticated weapons that threaten israel security. what is clear is if you don't have two work hard to identify the fingerprints of terror across the region for the leaders in this type of unconventional warfare it is just enough to keep the region off-balance and more than enough to ensure constant unpredictability. the network is a shared a challenge and we must look at the shared solutions the united states cannot go it alone and eliminate the proxies. there is no unilateral solutions of the approach must take into account the requirements of international cooperation. in the region that means intelligence sharing and cooperation with our partners and outside the region that means ensuring sanctions on iran have meaningful impact to accomplish a coordinated multilateral approach to countering the proxies and dismantling the threats network the partners must trust us and want to work with us and there must be a baseline confidence in the commitment to their security.

two points 7 million in turkey, 1.2 million in lebanon... humanitarian. these countries need support in order to post these millions of people, that means economic support. we are arguing very strongly that refugees need to be allowed to work but are there going to be allowed their needs massive economic investment income is like jordan, needs massive economic investment income is likejordan, lebanon, turkey to allow that kind of contribution to be possible and to be consistent with the needs of the local population. if you like it is a new deal between refugee hosting countries and the refugees and the international community. if you don't get that you get the kind of scenes that happen in 2015 when 750,000 or so people fled from the middle east to europe, many losing their lives, thousands of them losing their lives in the mediterranean on the way. it's a classic example, you don't do the right thing in the short term you end up paying for it in the medium—term and 2016 has proven the refugee crisis is here to stay and 2017 needs to be the

power in the region and believe they have an obligation to serve and support all those in iraq to lebanon yemen. but they do have a political interest and a national security interest and a national security interest to support the shias there. that was the red line for the iranians. if they are going to let this evacuation happen and allow the syrian government to allow safe passage for the militants, they wa nted passage for the militants, they wanted to see their clients, there shi'ite bretheren also receive the same passage. but as far as the un security council is concerned, anything that will have any language, like the blue helmets on the ground, it will most likely be vetoed by the russians. all you need is one country. all you need isjust the russians to veto any un security council resolution. and if you want a resolution you probably have to get it now. it is less like a trump administration will allow this. —— likely. the french and british are adamant they want a resolution. they wa nt to adamant they want a resolution. they want to alleviate some of this horrendous pain and

and another dozen or so regarding israel and lebanon or israel and syria. andlast veto was in 2011, that was on a resolution condemning the construction of settlements. the u.s. used its veto then and there was another similar one in 2013. and then the u.s. did not need it, becauset -- veto it did not get enough support within the security council. had this gone ahead, this vote, which had now been canceled, and had theit, u.s. abstained, that would've been a huge break from the past and very bad news for israel, because traditionally, the united states has been the diplomatic shield for israel at the united nations. >> egypt were the ones that came up with this resolution. they were then the ones to postpone it. what does this tell us about cairo's growing relationship with the israelis? jessica: it tells us that president caved in to israel. but perhaps what is even more interesting here what it tells us about him and donald trump heard look at what happened exactly. we would have expected israel to oppose this resolution. benjamin netanyahu was up in the

it's from damascus and lebanon and this greater threat to israel. suni, saudi arabia, they have a fear that through baghdad or tehran is going to be a greater threat to them. so, we have this thing that is developing and it could be dealt with. it's this intervention in a timely fashion. we know that going back to the early '80s. it's going to be from the russians and the syrians and we can see that until it is completed, they are going to partner with hezbollah to help asad finish the job where the sunni moderates remain and it's more likely than not that they will be successful in accomplishing that so my question to you is knowing that order anticipating back and knowing that it's highly unlikely to go to the international criminal court and that we have to just deal with this realistically what would you now say to the policymakers about what the united states should be saying at this point before the mission is completed what would you say the words that should be spoken that looks like an understanding. >> i think that's to first address the p
