there are a number of ways easier to get across the boat and cross the mediterranean to getter wrists into the continent. >> in the last few days alone 200 immigrants have been rescued trying to cross the mediterranean. >> after months of negotiation u.s. and turkey agreed on a plan to train and equipped syrian rebels. they have 400 troops including special op forces. the plan is to train 5000 rebel group members over the last three years. while isis is the main target they will work towards crumbling president bish charral assad ace raw 's regime. >> rudy giuliani refusing to apologize for saying president obama doesn't love america. ee oo anna kooiman has the political firestorm. >> this happens as he was speaking at a fundraiser when scott walker said this. i believe this is a horrible thing to say i do not believe the president loves america. he doesn't love you and he doesn't love me. he doubles down on the comments yesterday on "fox & friends" and then again on "the kelly files." >> all i can see of this president all i heard of him he apologizes for america and criticizes ameri

killing people on the shores of the mediterranean sea, you literally see blood rolling in the surf. it says we're actually europe too. whatever they're doing they don't care who they're ticking off. >> they're blind. >> we talked about 20,000 fighters who have taken up arms in favor of isis because of stuff like this. i don't know if you know. last week i mentioned do something like we know rocka is their headquarterers their administrative headquarterers. just date certain april 1st may 1st. whatever date, get out or you're going to be obliterated with the rest of them and carpet bomb the places and see what happens. whatever what do they call them, the air strikes, it doesn't seem to effect them. >> let's just hit them but it hasn't been sufficient. it's been woefully insufficient. they have ground in iraq, syria, they have ground in indonesia. they're getting help and support from other groups as well. this is spreading. when they see videos like this it's water for the ones who want to join up. >> that map does not include nigeria which has been in direct communication with isis

. >> off the coast of italy more than 300 migrants are feared dead after crossing the mediterranean. they attempted to cross from libya to europe in rubber boats. >> in high seas and plummeting temperatures migrants were rescued. and survivors have told the u.n. refugee agency that many more are missing. the agency said that 300 people are feared dead. they're demanding that the e.u. do more to help. >> it's quite surprising to us that the e.u. cannot respond with a stronger solidarity with a stronger humanity, and with the stronger strategy to that. >> at least four vessels are believed to have left the coast of libya over the weekend. on sunday night 29 african migrants died of hyperthermia after being rescued in wintery conditions. they were among the 105 people trying to reach europe in a small fishing boat. the fourth vessel remains missing. the survivors report here to the island of lampedusa in recent years it has struggled to handle the influx of migrants. over the year 3,000 people have lost their lives attempting to reach europe by sea. it has scaled back the ask you progra

. >> it's not something out of the movies to think that terrorists could try to cross the mediterranean. >> the terrorists apparently parading through the streets of libya, threatening to turn the country into a gateway to europe. >> the terror group now plans to "conquer rome." >> you have this kind of witch's brew of jihadists now operating in libya, just a few hundred miles from really the doorstep to europe. >> isis terrorists could get into that country, disguised as libyan refugees. >> also today news that the u.s. and turkey have signed a deal to train and arm syrian rebels fighting isis. john bolton joins us. good evening, sir. >> good evening, glad to be with you. >> ambassador the most i can figure is that we've seened this agreement with turkey to arm and equip the syrian rebels, but what in the world -- to equip and train. what does he mean by equipped? >> well presumably it means with weapons. i don't know that giving them food and bed rolls and that sort of thing is really beginning to advance the cause but it's one of these steps by the administration, if they had taken t

libya is just several hundred miles from europe, across the mediterranean sea. today egypt's ambassador to the uk spoke about that threat. >> we believe that this is part of what we would be facing in egypt and throughout the arab world in the last few years. we need to pull our forces together and face this threat that is coming closer to home. and by home, i mean not only egypt but i mean also europe. >> joining me now, k.t. mcfarland. great to have you here. i want to show that map that we were showing earlier to show the location of how close tripoli libya, is to the coast of italy. let's talk about that first. >> the reason this is important is because libyans have gone to italy for thousands of years. once in italy they can move freely all around the european union and europe. if radicalized libyans can get into italy, they can potentially travel throughout europe. >> there's that map there showing the proximity and how close it is. i want to move on to this. the countries that are in orange here algeria, libya egypt and then syria, iraq and afghanistan, t

this is the city on the mediterranean sea that's shaping up to be the new front line in this war. just about 200 miles from the european coast. it's a place where isis is strengthening each and every day taking over government buildings and apparently taking over a radio station. egypt, just next door egypt is hitting them back. dropping bombs on what we know now are training camps and storage facilities. joining me now is tim who is in iraq and by extending into africa here not just syria and iraq i mean are these militants taking the land on their behalf? or is it indicative of a group spreading very very quickly? >> oh this is very much a group spreading very very quickly. this would be one of the jihadists in libya. we know that perhaps as many as 300 returned to this part of libya late last year. it's thought that now isis has at least 800 men under it's command in this part of libya. what's striking about this latest video that came out, the appalling murder of these egyptians is this is not there. it's central libya. their reach has extended well beyond that pocket in easte

the country separated from libya by a narrow strip of the mediterranean has now evacuated its embassy there and calling for u.n. intervention. >> while the tripoli based parliament condemned the airstrikes, said this: >> if there were any terrorist groups on the egyptian side and we were ail to hit them, we wouldn't hesitate to fight them. groups that commit such crimes, borders aren't going to be an issue. >> in its latest video isil has made a direct threat against italy, prompting rome to evacuate its embassy in tripoli. and it is boat ride from libya and thousands of people flee violence across the mediterranean, try to reach europe through libya. sunday, 2,000 were rescued many end up on the tiny italian island of lampedusa. >> italy has called for a nato led military campaign to stop the advance of isil in the country, after they feel they were directly threatened by the fighters. in a video posted sunday on isil in which they showed the beheading of 21 catholic christians from egypt isil fighters said they were just south of rome, something that italy saw as a direct threat to
