despite the fact that a lot of northern europe on high alert at the moment. germany, at least, these arrests are not heading off an imminent attack. >> nick robertson in paris. thank you. the raids in germany and belgium and france. contacts ramp up efforts to close loopholes. european foreign ministers have been meeting in brussels to fight terrorism. some of the ideas have been in place in the united states for some time now. i want to bring in our senior correspondent ivan watson in brussels. good morning, ivan. >> reporter: good morning, john. a senior official is giving us details about the efforts the bellgiums have been using to break up the terrorist cell. this started thursday night when the police moved in the town of verviers. the suspects clashed with belgium police and killed in that gun battle. we since learned that the belgiums believed there were cells of ten people they have been monitoring that apartment. they believe it was a safe house. they arrested five suspects here in belgium since then. part of the reason they moved in was they believ

rising above the rooftops are the towers of the largest gothic cathedral in northern europe. called york minster, it took two centuries to build the ornate church. but the town's most unique feature is the protective wall that encircles the old section. and it's a wall that the public is welcome to walk on. the first walls were built by the romans in 71 a.d., then rebuilt by the english in the 12th century. strolling along the old wall is a popular attraction for tourists and locals alike. >> it's great. it brings you around all the sights, so you can pretty much see everything 'cause it brings you around the whole city. >> the wall makes a circuit that runs about 2 1/2 miles. along the way, there are gates and guardhouses. now there are houses outside the old walls, but back in the day an army of vikings might have been camped there, preparing to attack. they cut holes in the walls so that the archers could fire their arrows at the enemy. these were called loopholes, a term still in use today, as in a loophole in a contract or a video game. the ancient walls were built to ke

now across europe blustery conditions are still continuing in northern europe.in fact the uk you saw wind gusts of over 180 kilometers per hour. now the worst is happening for the southern parts of the scandinavian peninsula like sweden and norway. strong winds will likely continue into the weekend. and snow is on the menu. probably up to 20 centimeters of snowfall into the next 24 hours. and 30 centimeters of snow is likely to fall for the alpine region and severe weather could happen over the coastal areas such as france and italy, into the weekend. all right, temperatures, 9 degrees in paris with rain on the menu. in single digits for you in london and across the south 7 degrees for the high with rainy weather. >>> now across australia, the asian cup is taking place, and we are looking at sunny conditions in brisbane australia will meet south korea. your high is going to be up to 35 degrees. so quite tough conditions for the players. and as we go into sunday calm conditions for melbourne, with high of 21 degrees on sunday. all right, across the pacific, there

are looking for as the possible master mind of terrorist plots that were to have unfolded in northern europe. belgian authorities requested the arrests after a raid on a house in belgium last thursday, following which they collected evidence that led them to believe that one of the master minds of terrorist plots was in residence here in athens. that warrant was based on telephone records of phone calls made from a cell phone here in athens to relatives of the suspect killed and arrested in belgium, but the location from which those calls were made has now been abandoned by the person who made them. that person apparently the suspect that belgians are looking for is still at large. his whereabouts are unknown and the surveillance operation to locate him is on going but that does not necessarily mean that the four men who were arrested at the location where this man briefly stayed are innocent. greek police say that while some of them may be released as early as today because there is no evidence against them, others may be held further for questions and until evidence is gathered to place ch

, say northern europe or northern parts of the united states. >> host: so where can you find malaria? >> guest: you can find malaria just about anywhere where people are poor, where people live in poverty. or where people are fighting wars. because wars develop the perfect ecosystem for mosquitoes because you tear apart the landscape and create swamps when mosquitoes breed. and then because the parasites that cause mosquitoes can survive any climate, one that hides many your liver will wait until the mosquito system to launch an infection in your blood so when the mosquitoes come to bite you, they drink them in, and the cycle continues. or in the tropics, the deep tropics where you tend to find most of the world's intense poverty, malaria is just endemic, and it's always there. mosquitoes live with plenty of blood meals from the population and the population ends up just living with malaria year round. so that's about 40% of the globe. 40% of the human population live with malaria. >> host: who discovered that it was a mosq

perhaps as many as 20 of them in northern europe. police conducted raids in the past several days in belgium, france and greece. for the insight on the raids, let's turn to the managing director of the holiquom foundation. when you look at the 20 cells, it is remarkable what the investigators are trying to determine right now. do you think they are all related or they are separate cells all seemingly to operate at the same time? >> i think they are separate cells. i think what the common denominator is they believe the call to jihad and terrorist activities that both isil and al qaeda called for. al qaeda doing it for the last 12 or 13 years or more. i think there are a number of people who are in europe who may not have any allegiance to one particular group or had allegiance to one group and moved on. they want to try to cause as much fear and panic and so-called revenge for what they consider to be activities that we are undertaking in iraq and syria to defend the people in that area. >> what do you make of the police response and

>> reporter: it's being cast across northern europe and southern europe as well. this is a concern for intelligence agencies all over europe at the moment. what the french are telling us is that the three people that they've released are women. that the nine people that remain in detention here are, in fact can be held for another two days and may be held for even longer on the suspicion of the terrorism act. so at least two days before any of the others might be considered for release. and the concern is here that there could be other cells inside france. that is why france is on such a high alert with so many security forces deployed to thwart any possible further attack. >> and then nick paton walsh from yemen, you have new information on two french nationals arrested there? >> reporter: yes. we reported last night, yemeni officials saying two french men arrested in the past few months. they tried to leave the country. we now know from one security official here that actually those arrests occurred back in may of last year. the two 32-year-old men have been the

and what's likely to happen is the party of the right wing party in france the parties in northern europegely this does is this does the terrorist work for them. because what al qaeda, isis are trying to do is to create a situation in which france europe in general becomes more and more hostile to muslims. muslims then feel they have to use violence -- it becomes a strategy of conflict rather than integration. and in that sense you know it's been very comforting to see how the french authorities from the president, the prime minister responded by saying we are going to try to maintain the sense of integration. >> samuel on this same political dynamic issue, do the interests of working class whites who feel economically disenfranchised for a host of different reason converge now with the interests of some young muslim men who feel that economically they have been shut out? how does that converge? >> actually that doesn't converge at all. the point is that obviously the reaction of unity in france that has been shown by the prime minister, by the president and so on, are wonderful because i

[inaudible] >> we know it's northern europe and it will continue to fall. >> i think it's a absolutely an economic thing. we have talked about the fact that the middle class ideology goes very far deep into the low-wage population way down into the low-wage population as well as going up into the upper regions. and i'm middle-class ideology people love marriage. they respect it. they think it's an important institution. they want to give it all the respect it is due which means they are not going to jump into marriage and start having kids until they're economically secure. i think that's absolutely right. as a matter of this country being able to compete economically we rely on immigration the same as northern europe and we are going to. i frankly don't have a problem with that. i think that the global village and so forth makes it less important for any one country to keep reproducing its own workers but that makes international trade agreements all the more important and my organization we are not taking the lead by any stretch stretch but we are deaf only supporting our allies in o

that said there are several criticisms that -- that northern europe in particular makes about the implementation in greece falling short, but really you know, i think what you are seeing -- what you saw in the election was really a reelection of the death of the economic downturn. greece had a six-year depression. greece has been contracting for six years and the economy has shrank by about a quarter of its former self. and unemployment is around 25%. so these are developing country statistics in what used to be a first world country. >> how long would it take to reach a compromise in your opinion? >> well you know, there is the summer deadline that will kind of force both parties into some sort of debate before then because as your report indicated, greece only has enough money to get it so far, so the discussions will be -- will be happening very soon. in fact you already saw the e.u. side lay its cards on the table and say, look there's no real room for renegotiation. but i think as time moves along, you'll see some null if indication of that argument. >> all right. pedro thank you. >> thank

we have a bunch coming from northern europe and sweden and denmark. europe has been flagged by the rise of radical elements there. many have expressed views of violent jihad. we are seeing it actualizing in europe. >> thank you very much. we will of course keep an eye on developments in belgium as you can see the press conference getting prepped and underway. we will bring you the latest as we learn it. secretary of state john kerry has just arrived in paris where he is expected to meet with french president francois hollande tomorrow to offer washington support. >> basically to share a big hug with paris and express the affection of the american people for france and for our friends there who have been through a terrible time. >> and one week after the city was a city under siege tensions remain high with police and judges cracking down thout the city. there have been at least 54 arrests since the attacks, 37 for so-called advocacy of terrorism. a new picture shows grocery store shooter preparing for his deadly assault. joining me now is ron allen liv

had no long range escort fighters and that concept of the self-defending bomber came up against northern europe in 1943 and the attrition was such that in late '43 it was impossible for a bomber crew to finish a 25 tour was the average attrition because 4% and 25 times 4 doesn't take a math quiz to solve. so the arrival of the long rage fighters especially the b-51 mustang, made it possible for the daylight bombing campaign in contrast to the british who flew almost entirely at night. >> host: they showed persevereiance in the face of this. there were examples of heroism. maybe you can describe those. >> guest: two 15th air force recipients of the medal of honor are two examples. both involved missions to or near plasti in the summer of 1844. a bomber from my home state lieutenant david kingsley tended a badly wounded gunner and had to take off his parachute harness in order to apply first aid and that harness disappeared in the confusion. and he made the decision to take off his harness and put it on the wounded sergeant and clipped on his chest back parachute and pushed him out of the bomb ba

and every story we read, whether out of belgium, northern europe whether across the globe is about terrorists or plots or actual events and the idea that homeland security would be put on hold and not fully funded or more funded is absolutely incredible, so they have no bargaining chip and no bargaining power to suffer this sort of symbolic defeat. >> woodruff: let's talk about another part of the republican story, that is the race for president. we've seen so many names david. i think one of the remarkable things this week is mitt romney a lot of pushback from other republicans including i think one of his campaign co-chairs about his looking seriously at running again. >> yeah. well, the donors don't seem to like him, the republican committee people don't want him to run again and the field is a lot stronger this time. he ran against people who couldn't possibly win so he's run more or less by default. so there are people who run and get nominated and there are people who have people who passionately believe in them and these people will walk through hell for a certain guy, man or woman, a

europe. i do want to point out the northern balkans we have a low pressure system over italy that will draw in some moisture already seeing rainfall and flooding problems that will continue on as we go in to wednesday. so look out for that. rain and thunderstorms in to rome. also into madrid. maybe some snow mixing with that. and up towards stockholm we'll see some snow, as well. rain in to warsaw as we go through wednesday. we are looking at some rain and wet weather as we go to north america. we have a low pressure system being generated down toward the desert southwest and crossing into oklahoma and texas. this system will eventually move over the gulf of mexico picking up even more moisture, and that's going to bring some heavy rainfall for the deep south as we go later on this week. in the mean time we do have a low pressure system that's clipping over the great lakes. that's going to bring in some cold air, so snow possible in chicago, d.c. and new york with chilly temperatures in to toronto. and i want to take you over further toward the north and west into western canada. we have a low

all right, across europe very gusty conditions will likely continue for the northern areas such as the british isles and the scandinavian peninsula, as you can see the lines are very very close to each other, strong winds will likely continue at least into thursday. and to the south, this low pressure system causing stormy conditions for turkey. if you remember last week turkey was hit by significant heavy snowfall. this one will likely become a rainmaker rather than a snowmaker. thunderstorms and gusty winds will likely prevail at least into your tuesday. now temperatures minus 8 in moscow, 3 degrees in kiev with snow on the menu. athens rainy weather on the menu and across the west double digit for the first day of the business week. finally over towards australia, asian cup, a soccer tournament, is taking place. the rain is moving in to the southeast coast where two matches are set on your tuesday. so heavy rain is in the menu along with gusty conditions. that could cause some stormy conditions across many areas such as canberra and sydney. that could affect the field conditions. al

that was the proper winter that went through and europe saw it in northern saudi arabia the third yearw that has actually happened and that of course has finished and we dropped down a bit to the gulf. now, that is the picture of camels that you don't often sea and this is more enjoyed than annoyed and that is gone too. the thaw is underway and hardly a great surprise if you are in the middle east the last couple days the story was increasing wind and dropping temperatures and most people didn't get the snow. forecast tuesday is 16 and 20 in doha but the winds are picking up and north early and you will get dust and sand in the deserts for a couple days. >> rob, thank you very much indeed and now to yemen and one of the poorest countries in the world and we report and families are often forced to make rather unpleasant choices like buying second-hand clothes and a practice for many which brings shame. >> reporter: this is one of the ancient wonders and behind its walls is where many poor yemen get their second-hand garments. a perfect place for those who want cheap clothes and keep qui

europe is experiencing very tough times right now. this toxic cocktail of low growth and growing inequality is very dangerous. however there are some countries in the northern periphery that have been better off than average europe. that is the scabbed inn of iana ian scandinavian countries and europe. we have to country mobilized the whole work force not only the male part of the work force but the women. the female participation is higher. this goes back to the 1990s where we started a program to mobilize women in the work force. three components. first, generous child allowances of university character. second, free very high quality pry schools and thirdly, a system that allows parents to combine this with work. we have the most generous parental leave system in the world. you can stay home with your kids for 13 months. we call it the parentirrental leave system. this is of course very costly. only the parental leave system cost 1% of gdp however, it delivers one of the highest participation labor ratios. the tax base is widened. so in this sense, in the scanned scandinavian context this is a driver for growth. we have proved that. so there's no contrad

have proudly supported peace and prosperity and freedom from south africa to northern ireland, from central and eastern europe, from asia, to latin america, to the middle east. all these endeavors are good in those places. but they make our future more confident and more secure. well, my fellow americans, that's my agenda for america's future. expanding opportunity, not bureaucracy, enhancing security at home and abroad, empowering our people to make the most of their own lives. it's ambitious and achievable, but it's not enough. we even need more than new ideas for changing the world or equipping americans to compete in the new economy. more than a government that's smaller, smarter, and wiser, more than all the changes we can make in government and in the private sector from the outside in. our fortunes and our prosperity also depend upon our ability to answer some questions from within, from the values and voices that speak to our hearts as well as our heads, voices that tell us we have to do more to accept responsibility for ourselves and our families, for our communities and, yes, for our fellow citizens

europe is experiencing very tough times right now. this toxic cocktail of low growing and growing inequality its very dangerous. however, there are some countries in the northern periphery that has been better off than average europe and that is the scandinavian countries in general and sweden in particular. there are a number of reasons for this but i'd like to highlight one. that is the fact that we have contrary to many other countries in europe and elsewhere, mobilized the whole work force not only the male part but also women, so, the female participation labor ratio is higher than issue in necessary the scan navian countries, and -- scan navan countries and the reason goes back to the 19 1970s when we started a program to mobilize women in the work force. three components. first, generous child allowances of universal character. second free very high quality universal preschools and third, parental leave system that allows parents to combine work with work. we have the most generous parental leave in the world. you can stay home with your kids 13 months and we call it's parental leave system, not a marital system. and this is of course very costly. only

same thing is happening across europe, as the germans, the french the northern european countries tell their security services to look hard at who is out there, who has come back from syria, who may be having connections with jihadists. david cameron, the british prime minister, said clearly when he was in washington last friday that he believes that new powers are necessary for the security services in britain and elsewhere to go after these terrorist cells. that goes very much against the mood after the edward snowed den revelations where people thought these folks have enough power as it is. cameron said no we are not able to track these people. they have electronic safe haven into which they disappear and we need to be able to go find them. you can look forward to a real debate in britain and the united states about whether to give additional surveillance powers to the nsa, fbi, and starting this again as people raise the specter of possible attacks. but cameron and obama, i thought in sympathy made this point forcefully as they look at the terror problem. >> harold ford. does this
