in hallways and on the decks. 4 million people leaving syria in the ongoing war there -- not to mention iraq and afghanistan. and better read up on other religions -- because christianity is about to become a minority religion in this country and in the world. muslims surging. but this will no longer be a majority christian nation -- it remains so -- a few studies say in 2015 -- it will be a plurality. and so, the gtu -- we put up because the gtu has come and it is a center in berkeley that has so many buddhist studies, hindu -- any religion in the world is in there. talking with one another. this is a good news story. the religions of the world coming together despite what it may look like on the outside. and the number eight story -- ron swisher -- as an ongoing host of mosaic, for 2016 -- we are very proud of that. and you may have noted in the newspaper -- hospital accused of denying care -- a story you should follow because a woman wanted to have a tubal ligation and the hospital said, no. we are roman catholic. we are not going to do that. this will be a big story in 2016. ron, words t

iraq. we need a foundational partner. he's been working day and night to get to done. we have to have that. i mention the summer of 2014. it was very important to get the new iraqi government. they had just had an election. it was going through the process. how did we come in to iraq in a major way before we had a government and foundational partner? it would have been hard to build the coherence that we needed to push back effectively and aggressively. so the sequencing in libya is to try to get the national government formed and to work with it to come up with a strategy to begin to combat libya. i will say that it takes sometime. we see threats emerging to the own national security interest. the president has shown he will take military action in libya. that's why we killed the overall leader. those sorts of things will continue to be ongoing. the political and military is quite intertwined. and so we are hoping to get the government very same. representative bass: while we're doing that, i understand the importance of that, are you seeing any involvement in terms of the isil folks moving south or moving weapons? that

mentioned earlier. it's also the humanitarian and stabilization side. in iraq now as i mentioned, these are iconic cities that have been up and cleared and now we want to return the population to get back on their feet. the eternally displays in iraq, most of them are women and girls and they need help. on the humanitarian stabilization side, that is something for the region are very hopeful can step up in a fairly aggressive way. we have programs in place, supported the iraqi government in place, u.n. programs in place to help people, but an issue of the resources. one thing is hampered this quite a bit is the collapsing price of oil which i can go into some detail. iraq is now facing a $5 billion financing gap. they produce more oil than they have been sometimes have over 4 million barrels a day. when i was working full-time five years ago that would've been unimaginable. that is because of decisions the iraqi government has made and decisions we've made with them and that is a real testament to their progress. the falling price of oil has greatly impacted th

not just military as was pen --e mentioned earlier it's the at humanitarian and thehe stabilization side.ared in iraq now, as i mentioned these are iconic sunni cities that have been cleared of isil and we want to return the w population to get back on their feet. the eternally displaced in iraq most of them are sunni, 70% of them are women and girls and they need help.re and so on the humanitarian, on the stabilization side that's something that we're hopeful can step up in a fairly aggressive way.he irr because we have the heo program place, we have the support of the government in place. but it's an issue of the resources. g is one thing that's really hampered this quite a bit is just the collapsing price of oil. which i can go into some detail. iraq is nowar facing a monthly r about $5 billion financing gap. they're producing more oil than they have in some time. over 4 million barrels a day. when i was working on iraq full-time five years ago that would have been imaginable. that's because of the decisions that the iraqi government has made and decisions we have made with them and that's a real

i mentioned the summer of 2014 is very important to get the new iraqi government formed. iraq had an election, it was going through the government formation process. had we gone into iraq, i think it would have been hard to push back effectively and aggressively. so the sequencing in libya is to try to get this national government formed. and then to work with it. to come up with a strategy to begin to combat libya but i will say if that takes some time. when we see threats emerging to our own national security, the president will take military action in libya. that's why we killed the overall isil leader in libya, abu nabeel. the political and the military here is quite intertwined. and so we're hoping to get that government formed very soon. >> so while we're doing that and i absolutely understand and recognize the significance and importance of that, are you seeing though any involvement in terms of either isil folks moving south or moving weapons? which is what was the situation in mali. while we're working to stabilize the government and i absolutely understand that. >> w

in the northern iraq mountains like jamal mentioned. turkey has been at war with the p.k.k. for some time now, and the strikes happening a few hours after the bombing in ankara. turkey has been at war with the p.k.k. in the south-east of the country, not just outside its borders, but in the south-east. there has been ongoing battles in towns and villages. turkey has been targeting the y.p.g., celebrating their positions. turkey sees the advance in the northern corridor close to the border as a national security threat. turkey's p.m. saying we'll take all measures against the organizations even in syria. but the question is can it send ground forces, pressing for a ground operation, telling international allies. there's no appetite from western allies, we have to remember that russia controls the skies. at the end of the day turkey sees az as as a red line, they don't want to see the opposition base fall. the y.p.g. is advancing towards azaz, and some of its forces are at its doorstep. az as under threat. the turkish military striking positions inside syria. >> now, there has

i mentioned the iraq war. defense of marriage act, which was one of the most anti-gay pieces of legislation that we've had in the past couple of decades. she said "marriage is between a man and a woman" at the time that millions of us, real progressives were marching in the streets for marriage equality. and she never changed her position until the polls said that she should change her position. >> so on both sides, you see people are definitely heated up about this debate. well will have more from that interview with jonathan tasini and matthew litman about the debate in the next hour here on cnn newsroom. >>> now to the republican side of things where the race between candidates is a little tighter there. you can see it from the latest cnn/wmur poll. it shows donald trump leading among new hampshire voters surveyed with 29%. marco rubio now second place with 18%. >> iowa caucus winner ted cruz has 13%. ohio governor john kasich 12% and jebb bush 10%. and donald trump sat down with cnn for a one-on-one interv

the good thing about iraq and syria, as i mentioned in the statement they're unlikely to get out. e'll make sure we kill them in iraq and syria. but libya is an emerging threat from africa. >> thank you very much. >> thank you, we go to mr. gregory meeks of new york. >> thank you, mr. chairman. let me start with this. i want to kind of follow-up with what mr. cicilline said. he asked about saudi arabia's contributions on a humanitarian level. in fighting against isis, isil, in syria, et cetera, i'm concerned about -- because a lot of this is sunni, shiia and what the arab states and what the sunnis and in particular in saudi arabia are doing on the military level. you know, on the ground. are they -- initially they sent out a jet, et cetera. whether they're still fighting. what are they doing or what are the contributions that they're making on the military level in regards to this fight? and how does that play into our equation? >> so it's something that secretary carter has discussed quite a bit publicly. he's discussing in brussels today with our partners. most of the gccc state

iraq. it was other people without mentioning names. other people. some day they ought to open the report and find out. it was other people that knocked down the world trade center. it's, you know, no reason to go into it big now. it was a horrible mistake that unfortunately shouldn't have done it. we have lost trillions. thousand of lives. wounded warriors i love all over the place. and, here's the other part. iran is taking over iraq. they wanted it for decades. decades. decade. they're taking it over. as the you sit there. i sit here. they're going in. taking over. walk in. do what they want. essentially already taken it over. >> last week when the pope made his remarks questioning your christianity. you said, no leader especially a religious leader should have a right to question another man's religion or faith. just last week, you questioned ted cruz's christianity tin the course of the campaign may have helped you win south carolina. okay for the pope? >> no, i never questioned ted's -- anything having to do with his religion. i just said, you

. >> there is a lot of truth, and you did not even mention the complete withdrawal from iraq and stayingthe hope that this conflict to go away. everyone predicted it would only get worse and the jihadists would win the day. that is where we are today, trying to eradicate this now only will come at enormous cost and american blood and treasure. a genuine tragedy and the huge strategic failing on the part of the administration. lou: is it your judgment that this president who is obviously trying to run out the clock for his presidency which will end up the 20th of january next year, can we make it? do you think we will make it without having the intervention of an ugly reality, an event that will require a response? >> i think we will only make it if we are extremely lucky because all the cards are against us, i think. all of our enemies understand this president strategy lack of strategy and the next 11 months is the time to go for broke. lou: always good to have you here. >> thank you, lou. lou: incredible video. get ready. i when's causing flames to spread across what became thousands o

first of all, they didn't knock down the world trade center it wasn't iraq, it was other people. without mentioning names, it was other people. some day open the report and find out. but it was other people that knocked down the world trade center. so, no reason to go into a big thing now. it was a horrible mistake that unfortunately we should never have done we lost trillions of dollars, thousands of lives, wounded warriors who are all over the place and here is the other part. iran is taking offeree a. they wanted it for decades and decades. they're taking it over. as you sit there and as i sit here, they are going in taking whatever they want they are already taken it over. >> dickerson: last week when the pope made his remark about your christianity, no leader especially religious should have right to question another man easy ridge on or faith. just last week you questioned ted cruise's christianity several time in the course of the campaign might have helped you win south carolina. why is it okay for you not okay for the pope? >> , no i never questioned ted's ted's -- anything having to do wi

iraq. but it's something that he's mentioning for the first time and something that worries very many people given the tensions right now in the arab world and the wider middle east. the idea of redrawing borders is something that i think really concerns people. >> yes, and he's mentioned it for the first time just days before the cessation of hostilities is due to begin. >> yeah, i think he's showing us what is at stake and the fact that there is no guarantee of success. remember that cessation of hostilities is now when it's supposed to start. it's very close. right now as we speak, felicity it's just after midnight damascus time on wednesday morning. three days from now. midnight going into saturday is when that cessation of hostilities is supposed to start. the next part of the plan is a restart of those geneva peace talks that collapsed--that collapsed earlier in the year. taking place maybe as early as next week. but this is all going to be extremely difficult. >> james live at the u.n. thanks so much. >> now thousands of afghan refugees on the greek macedonia border have been stranded

as you mentioned, these are iraq and afghanistan, my generation. we need to get on top of it. and that's why through embedded brigade health teams and other things we're trying to get after it. but there is no doubt that we have to -- if i could say one last thing, senator. we also don't want to send the message, though, that it's a get out of jail free card. not that you're suggesting that, but we need to make sure we have a ready force and that we're given the resources needed to make them whole again. >> i think we can both agree is we want to do what's right. and if these folks who acquired ptsd or tbi in service we need to take responsibility for that. can you tell me when the report is due back? you said shortly -- >> i believe we're talking weeks, not months. i think within forweeks. >> what are you doing with that report when you get it? >> first i will read it and execute. >> will it be open for us? >> i many understandimy underst be a public document. >> do you know what issues they identified at this point? >> i think there are issues from my, again, preliminary rea

iraq. let me just mention what king of jordan said. what he said is essentially the war against isis is a war for the soul of islam. >> i agree about the quagmire. what are you going to do about afghanistan? you're running for president of the united states. you have to have an answer. >> i think the only good answer is, what's your answer chuck? this is a question that puzzled alexander the great. bernie sanders from vermont will not have a better answer. >> charlie, take for a second whatever you think his views of foreign policy. i thought his answer on iran was good. do you not see him getting carved to ribbons by an election. >> i think that's probably one of the most obvious onces. i think he's gambling that a democratic candidate can't be afraid of that anymore. >> the first thing that came out of their mouths as soon as they walked into the spin room and they knowledge this side is real weakness for him. he talked about it last night. secretary clinton has given three and laid out this very broad -- >> i think they are figuring

iraq. it was other people without mentioning names. other people. some day they ought to open the report and find out. it was other people that knocked down the world trade center. it's, you know, no reason to goal into a big, now. a horrible mistake that unfortunately shouldn't have done it. we have lost trillions. thousand of lives. wounded warriors i love all over the place. and, here's the other part. they wanted it for decades. decade. decade. they're taking it over. as the you sit there. i silt here i sit here. they're going in. taking over. walk in. do what they want. essentially already taken it over. >> last week when the pope made his remarks questioning your christianity. you said, no leader especially a religious leader should have a right to question another man's religion or faith. just last week, you questioned ted cruz's christianity tin the course of the campaign may have helped you win south carolina. why is it okay for you and not okay for the pope? >> no, i never questioned ted's -- anything having to do with his religion. i just

vago: you mentioned services and training are part of your business. wasanistan and iraq, there a premium for that, but the conflicts have reduced somewhat. walk us through what the training and services business looks like for you guys, particularly in the service operations, where you guys are strong. we see a little bit of growth. if that the military is at war or they are preparing to go to war. we have half of our revenue outside the united states. different department of defenses , if you will, have different buying cycles and different needs. peacein, unfortunately, has not broken out on the planet. vago: do you think as you look at some of these markets, you guys do business in the commercials here as well as the military sphere. you are one of the world's leading manufacturer of pay card systems for transit. what are some of the commercial lessons you have learned, the innovation lessons that you are applying and can apply to the defense sphere? brad: time-to-market is actually critical. both businesses defense businesses, are involved in providing situational aw

as i mentioned earlier, the key foreign policy vote of modern american history was the war in iraq. the progressive community was pretty united in saying don't listen to bush. don't go to war. secretary clinton voted to go to war. >> i was somewhat amused today that senator sanders set himself up to be the gatekeeper on progressive. under the definition flying around on twitter and statements by the campaign, obama would not be a progressive and even the great late paul wellstone would not be a progressive. i will not let in that better me. i know where i stand. >> reporter: with five days remaining until the new hampshire primary, it is up to the voters to decide. some 40% of the voter are independent voters. many of whom will pick up ballot on primary day to decide who they will vote for. democrat or republican and make their decision then. john and christine. >> jeff, thank you. let's dig deeper over what we learned of the candidates. greg, i want to play a little sound. hillary clinton pressed on taking speaking fees. a lot of speaking fees from goldman sachs. listen. >> look, i

particularly says that people coming from war-torn countries and between brackets, iraq and syria and doesn't mentionns at all will be able to continue if they prove they were not living in a third country before that and that is very difficult for the afghans to understand also because they are not giving the full information at the moment. they are simply told to disclose, we will see, wait, we have seen some being bussed now back to athens and i have to tell you this is all having a domino effect all along the balkin route and when we used to see the images of people streaming north now you have images of people coming south or being blocked at different borders and as we understand it there is about 5,000 refugees now in athens and among them a large group of afghans but all of them are now blocked in athens because simply here it's very busy and we are about 20 kilometers away from the border and if you drive down to the border you will see group of people walking on the move trying to get there as quick as possible even though no one is going through at the moment. >> thank you very much. that
