today al qaeda is-- al qaeda islamic extremists are in northern nigeria, mali, more tanya, niger -- niger, across all of north africa, from morocco, algeria, tunesia, in libya where they are in huge huge numbers n egypt where they are back for the first time in 25 years. down into east africa, in somalia and increasingly in kenya. across the gulf into yemen. up into syria and iraq, and still in south asia and pakistan, afghanistan. >> rose: that's a lot of front. >> and bangladesh now, they just announced a new cell in bangladesh. so i think what-- . >> rose: not to mention asia. >> right. well, they've done a pretty good job in combatting-- but the asians have done a pretty good job of rooting it out. so why i say tip of the iceberg, i think in that huge geographic area that i just talked about, you're going to see isis like problems pop up over the next five years, ten years, 15 years, 20 years. >> rose: there is the greatest foreign policy challenge to the united states to date. >> i think so. >> rose: not russia, not china. >> i break down national security in to threats to the united

he was, still called the office of transnational threat and he went to niger he went to niger in theity conclude on the basis of the conversation with people that country would've been better off if they never have discovered oil. so in a lot of places, as i note in the book, former vice president cheney once noted, god didn't see fit to put oil only in democratic countries friendly to the united states. and when oil is that in kazakhstan or equatorial guinea or chad or cameroon, audits are it's not going to be the people -- is not going to do the people of good. a lot of countries, norway, which has a longish of democracy. nobody has done pretty well on oil but it's not automatic but it depends on the context and environment. >> host: the united states address or i guess the united states is a mixed bag in some ways. certainly, again, let me refer to a conversation i had as part of the book with a former chevron executive, and shall, and is now directing these of these said for strategic international studies and he talked about the difference between development of oil resources an

but what many and security experts are saying that what the niger january military needs is a new outfit it needs a boost in morale to tackle the insurgency in the north of nigeria. what they need is perhaps more air power, more equipment, because there are some allegations or accusations by some politicians that boko haram is more armed or better equipped and better motivated by the nigerian army. >> sweden's left week social democrats ruling the center right in elections but the winners have not won enough seats to form a majority government. the far right anti-immigration party made big gains but the social democrats leader said he won't do a deal with them. >>> scotland is just days away from deciding whether it will remain part of the united kingdom. it has been fierce and sometimes confusing debates between those for independence and those who support an union. the latest development is that cameron is on his way for another history. what is he likely to say? >> yes, david cameron will be speaking here in aberdeen within the hour. his last visit to scotland could it be that he turn

to the north and west, it takes advantage of that porous border in this multiple state regions of niger, cameroon and chad. it owns the territory it knows the land. >> you would think after all the attention it has gotten there would be some progress. it doesn't seem to be. the capital of this borno state, the reports are that people are fleeing from there, that police are leaving that priests are leaving. that is a town of a million people, city of a million people. >> exactly. the latest reporting is that boko haram has pretty good positions at least offenses in the area around mitagori. that is a big concern for abuja. those concerns continue to exist not in the connected and military but the political front as well. this is the result, the culmination of let's say neglect from the southern part of the country for the far northeast, for over a decade really. >> these guys are committing some of the atrocities that i.s.i.l. is committing, committing beheadings. again their name is about opposing western education. so they're killing and kidnapping kids at schools including on wednesda

niger gentleman used to export to us. it's oil is now going to europe elsewhere. the point of my piece is that it doesn't matter if the united states exhort exports oil or not, the fact that it's buying less and importing less and the demand is less around the world it's as though it's exporting oil. you're right, by the way, that the russian government, 45% of that--of its income comes from oil. only 5% come from natural gas. to the degree that the experts come above what we're currently producing, what we're currently throwing on to the world market, that will hurt vladimir putin. it will hurt him, no matter which market we send it to. >> is there any likelihood that they'll agree to the ban on oil? as critics say, will it cause american prices to increase if we decide to export oil? >> i'll answer that in reverse order. yes, it will probably cause u.s. pricing to up. this is because we currently pay less than the global price right now. there is about $0.05 t $5 to $7 difference. i think it's premature to agree to export. the only real beneficiary from exports
