cnn national correspondent natasha chen is with us now.tasha, tell us about this. >> well, boris and brianna, san diego court documents show that this 20 year old man, alexandei agents he was being interviewed by, that he told the wisconsin shooter, natalie rupnow, that he would arm himself with explosives and a gun, that he would target a government building. but the documents don't say which building in particular. on tuesday, there was a restraining order issued against paffendorf to temporarily turn over his ammunition and guns as they investigate this situation. the carlsbad police department told cnn there is no threat to the city at this time. directed our questions to federal authorities. now, my colleagues, josh campbell and jake hanna were not able to locate paffendorf today in his neighborhood, but did speak to some neighbors, some who described him as reclusive, that his family had lived there for more than a dozen years. now, while that's going on on the west coast over in wisconsin, the community is still just reeling from th

cnn's national security correspondent natasha bertrand joins us now. natasha, there are about 900 american troops currently in syria. what happens to them now? >> well, they're going to be staying there for now. we've got no indication either from president biden or from u.s. defense officials that they have any intention of pulling any of those roughly 900 troops out of syria. in fact president biden, in his remarks earlier today, he said that our mission against isis, which is that core mission of the u.s. troops that are stationed there will be maintained including, he said, crucially, the security of the detention facilities where isis fighters are being held as prisoners. that is a really important part of the u.s. and coalition mission in syria. and the u.s. really doesn't want to cede any ground to terrorist groups. as we see the potential for a power vacuum to take place inside syria with the fall of bashar al-assad. and to that end we actually saw the u.s. conduct dozens of airstrikes inside central syria just today, according to a statement t

. >> cnn's natasha chen has been following this story for us. >> natasha, where does the investigation stand right now? >> right. >> as you heard the chief just say they are working on locating that person who posted the alleged manifesto or the letter from the shooter. police have said that they don't have any record of previous interactions with this teenager. they are working with her parents, who are being cooperative at the moment. they're trying to figure out whether the gun that was used in this shooting was owned by or possessed by the parents, and they're also asking atf to do a trace on the gun where it was purchased. when was it purchased? by whom? basically tracing the steps all the way to how it got in the hands of this 15 year old student, this second grader, as you mentioned, had called 911. a very. traumatizing moment. this apparently came out of a call from a classroom in a study hall where there were students of mixed grade levels. here are a couple of the students just reeling from what happened that day we heard them and then some people started crying. >> and then

natasha, how concerned are officials there about the situation in seoul? >> well boris, it is deeply concerning because the u.s. has a very large military presence in south korea, approximately 28,500 u.s. service members are serving in south korea in places like seoul at the dmz, that demilitarized zone between north and south korea and it obviously poses a pretty direct challenge to the u. s. s relationship with the republic of korea, which they have had a strong alliance for the last 70 years, a decades long alliance that has really been built upon this idea of in more recent years, south korea's kind of burgeoning democracy and the fact that it stands as one of the most solid democracies in the indo-pacific. and so right now, the pentagon is really just trying to get a handle on what exactly is going on here, whether martial law there is going to continue, what it's actually going to mean for the many american forces that are there, many of whom typically wander the streets, of course, of south korea, of seoul in their american military uniforms. but l

cnn's natasha chen is here with details. natasha, what can you tell us? >> well, boris and brianna, the court records show sort of a complicated situation there, as you mentioned, divorced, remarried, divorced again. and it seemed, at least in one of those divorces, the custody arrangement involved bouncing back and forth a couple of days here, a couple days there in a very complicated schedule. so that's right. now what we're reading through. she had been in therapy. and, you know, this is a lot of what the police are combing through right now looking for documents that might have been taken from her home to see if it matches what they understand is circulating out there as some of her writings that they cannot yet authenticate. now, we did also see a photo of her that was posted by her father on social media of her at a shooting range in the last year or so, where she is wearing a shirt that has the name of a german rock band whose lyrics were also cited by the gunman in the columbine school shooting in 1999. that is also something that investigators ar

and natasha hall, a senior fellow with the center for strategic and international studies. ibrahim, i'll start with you. the rebel group bts appears to be taking control of some important parts of syria, but is that group truly in charge or is there still enough of a power vacuum for for something to change what's the status of how this country is being run thanks for having me, jake. >> this is a great question to start the discussion with, because if we look at what's happened over the last 13 years, we see that the syrian state was collapsing throughout syria and in the major part of the of the country where assad has survived for 13 years. his regime survived. but the state collapsed. so many local communities took things into their own hands, and they formed some sort of coordination bodies where they can run their towns or their neighborhoods or other parts of syria. but that wasn't the case really inside the city of damascus, that's why now security is kind of a concern in the city to see if actually the rebel groups will be able to offer security the same way they w

let's get to cnn's natasha chen. natasha, what's the update?well, hanna's mother and sister have now released a statement on x via their attorney, saying they are incredibly relieved and grateful that hanna has been found safe. >> and as you mentioned, this comes a little more than a week after los angeles police had declared her as a voluntary missing person and to respect her privacy that she had not, as far as they were concerned, involved in any criminal activity and not the victim of a crime, as far as they could tell. and that's because they had seen footage of her crossing into mexico on november 12th. the family describes this whole thing as an unimaginable ordeal, made more difficult because in the course of the search for her, hanna's father, who had flown to los angeles to help look for her, died by suicide, according to police. and so now the family, of course, is relieved at having found hanna and confirmed that she's okay. but of course, they have gone through so much in this journey just to find out where she is. jake. >> all rig
