in northern syria, thousands of u.s. fighters are preparing for an offensive to retake a critical region from terrorist control. cnn's seen your international correspondent fred plooiken is watching this for us. >> it's on multiple fronts, john. certainly in the north of syria, that appears to be shaping up, something that reuters says has been in the works for a very, very long time and appears to be aimed at pro-u.s. forces or u.s.-backed forces trying to choke off isis from the border crossings it still has with turkey. we know isis has been getting foreign fighters into the area through turkey. that's something the u.s. and its allies in northern syria want to choke off. then you have fallujah, which right now is certainly the most intense battlefield in the fight against isis. there the biggest concern is for the many civilians that are still trapped inside that city. you've mentioned there's fierce fighting going on. the iraqi forces are trying to get into fallujah. so far they haven't been managing to penetrate th

moved closer to the mediterranean where it has a few minutes of flight time and you are over northern syriarn syria as well. you mentioned no other ship in the u.s. fleet has dropped more ordinance on isis. dropping up to 1.5 million pounds of ammunition. a lot of air strikes flown. we were on the carrier and talked to some of the pilots flying the first missions from here in the mediterranean. they say right now what it is is the close air combat. they are told of a target and they do that very quickly and they go back to the carrier. nevertheless, the missions can take between 5 and 7 hours in the air. right now is a decisive time, john. as you mentioned, isis threatened of losing strongholds in syria and iraq. a lot of concern especially in fallujah where a lot of the civilians are trying to flee. many getting executed by isis. others used as human shields by isis. of course, the fact that fighting there is getting ever closer to the city center of fallujah means the civilians that are still trapped are at greater risk than before. human rights groups believe some 50,000 people might sti

so it effectively shut turkey out of northern syria. so while turkey and the u.s. together to seal the border and effectively to counter the isil threat inside syria, turkey needs russia's blessing if it wants to send troops or planes into northern syria to defeat isil so that actually empowers putin. today i was told that erdogan and putin had one phone call, short one, nevertheless, but their first contact since the november incident in which they chatted and their schedule to meet, have a bilateral meeting at the g-20 summit in china. so expect russia to come on board, of course. turkey will have to agree with russia's terms. part of that will be to not fight the assad regime so aggressively. and to focus more of its efforts on defeating isis. this is really a turning point perhaps in turkey's intervention into the syrian war where turkey thus far focused its efforts on defeating assad and secondary fighting isis. now it's going to be primarily fighting isis if it can secure russian blessing to do so and secondarily ousting assad and that will be a russian condi

forces on the ground continue to win back territory if the extremists in fallujah in iraq and northern syriahe front lines, but also, supply lines and cache warehouses. the u.s. stepped up the bombings of isis targets both in iraq and syria and the "harry truman" plays an important role in the stepped up campaign. now, this it's here in the tr d mediterranean, the jets are closer to the targets to hit. the increased operational tempo and the move to the mediterranean put a strain on the "trueman's" crew. the tour extended by a full month but the admiral says the men and women are still going strong. >> it's a graphic illustration of the flexibility inherent in the forces. we operate anywhere we want to in the world. it happens on this deployment, the priority is support of "operation inherent resolve" in iraq and syria. >> reporter: u.s. commanders believe the coming months are critical now that the group is losing the grip on some of its major strongholds, gains the "truman's" pilots helped pave the way for. >> we have degraded them and we have destroyed them in many different places all th

and in the northern part of the country, u.s.-backed syriailitias vowed on thursday to drive the islamic state group from a city in northern syria and surrounding areas. they urged civilians to stay away from positions that would be targeted in the campaign. here is more on that story. reporter: northbound on a mission to take manbij. this footage broadcast by a kurdish news shows u.s. commanders accompanying kurdish-led forces. this convoy will come face-to-face with the islamic state group in manbij. months of critical groundwork have led to this tactical maneuver. the main water supply for northern area was liberated by after two years under islamic state group control. airstrikes could -- destroyed a bridge north of manbij, isolating the city on two fronts. the u.s. military mounted a bridge across the u brady's -- the euphrates river. if all goes to plan, the offense will sever a strategic transit point. manbjij lies on the main route. the city itself is an operational hub, with terror strikes against europe, turkey, -- where terror stri

has started to put a premium on that specific location across their border in northern syria which theyt the key for keeping fighters, money, guns, from coming into syria and keeping the same from going back out. >> there's one other thing to keep in mind about that. don't forget that turkey has mandatory army service for two years. so we have been complaining for a long time that turkey needs to take a bigger share of the load. now's the time to do it. they have certainly had the capability to do it now. >> i feel like a picture is being painted of isis in the last year. we have had, it feels as if an increase in isis inspired attacks or in some cases, well coordinated ones here in the united states, they have been more on the inspiration side of things. obviously in europe and what appears to be this one in turkey, a coordinated and whether it's an offshoot of isis, however you want to call it, some sort of cell. this is -- is this isis lashing out in a smaller way right now because they can't do anything big because they are under siege, or is this just a new phase of this war? >> th

the pkk and the syrian kurds, as i said, are part of the many groups fighting against daesh in northern syria. i don't want to underplay or under emphasize turkey's role inthe anti-daesh coalition. we have made a lot of progress working with turkey in order to bring more pressure to bear on daesh in a northern syria. ofy are allowing us the use airbases, but also working to close the 98 kilometer border that has proved such a challenge. these are all real challenges. as ambassador sam powers just in anust a few hours ago interview, let us not forget that turkey has also been very accepting to the millions of refugees who have poured over its borders from syria and offered them refuge. sue turkey's playing an important role with regard to syria, with regard to the conflict there, but from the assad regime as well as with daesh. so i don't want to underplay that. but they have different priorities and ideas about how to go about that. we are in constant dialogue with them about that and how to coordinate better. >> so it's possible this might facilitate the u.s. making its argument about their

pkk is the vanguard fighting force helping had the coalition vanquish icis in northern syria. they would be absolutely stupid to set off a bomb and to wage this kind of attack on an international target like this airport where they could kill americans and french. >> they're hoping to get their own state. >> right. they tend to target turkish security and there were two factors. they're losing terrain at a rapid pace. >> the turkish prime minister said they suspect isis. >> right. they lost fallujah and the pocket in the aleppo province and it is one of the major towns in aleppo that they control is encircled by u.s.-backed coalition forces and about to fall any day. there is another element to this, too, israeli-turkish, is always a galvanizing event for islamist attacks when the jewish state is involved. ed head of the amnel, a french national abu suleman al -- i heard that this guy was picked up at the border by the turkish government while he was fleeing from the carnage in northern syria. if that's the case, imagine the coalition kapts you acapturing the cia for isis, tha

in northern syria, thousands of u.s.ensive to retake a critical region from isis. cnn's senior international correspondent is tracking the latest developments from london. a lot going on right now. trying to take the battle to isis. >> yeah, they certainly are trying to take the battle to isis, john, and also trying to cut isis off from some of its funding and some of its resupply of fighters as well. that region in northern syria that u.s.-backed forces are trying to take back is the last swath of land that isis still has in the border area with turkey. that's very important because it's the area that isis uses to infiltrate fighters from turkey into the areas it holds in syria and ultimately to iraq as well. apparently the u.s.-backed forces won back some 16 villages and farms already, but again, that battle is one that seems will last for quite a long time. then you have fallujah. that's of grave concern to the united nations and the u.s. as well because there are so many civilians still trapped inside that city. some

but turkey has not only used these rebel also against assad but also against the kurds inside northern syriaause they regard them as a security threat. >> reporter: back to -- >> woodruff: back to you jane, there at the airport. are you already seeing security stepped up? what are you seeing there? >> well, it's interesting, judy. being at the airport earlier on today, things were getting back to normal at a remarkable pace. huge amounts of travelers arriving and leaving. of course, the area that had been bombed has been cordoned off, now, and that will need to face a very large cleanup operation. but now what we're seeing is a little bit of extra security. we're seeing some extra police, police who are heavily armed. we're seeing cars that aren't allowed to stop in front of the building for a long period of time and they just need to drop off people and move on quickly. but we're not seeing anything significantly different. the usual security measures that i discussed earlier were you enter through the glass doors and then you have to have your baggage checked, those are still going on. tha

one of the main towns they use as a transit hub from the areas they control inside northern syria intoouthern turkey where they have been comparatively calm in terms of taking on the turkish government to increasingly put pressure upon them. one of the main transit points has been under intense pressure from kurdish forces working with some u.s. support. that pressure has increased. it is vital for isis because it is their main route out of northern syria into southern turkey that they use. pretty actually their only real route left to the outside world, many argue. it is under greater pressure. i think possibly if we end up seeing a situation where isis are blamed for this or claim responsibility, people may look at that increased pressure as perhaps a turning point where they decide to target turkish facilities directly. it is far too early at this stage to say. at this moment we know of two explosions, many injured and a large number of police and medical staff to the scene. semi-official news agency here. a very tragic moment for the region to see something like this caught in expl

unless country takes very large scale active measures which may include ground forces to northern syria they have this problem for some time to come. >> when we think about what the problem is and if we get claim of responsibility about this being isis inspired or directed, the fact is that there has been ground laws for isis in certain territories. there have been disruptions for them yet they are able to pull this off. so how is the international community getting better at disrupting the threat? >> that is a multi facetted approach. on one hand it puts a lot of pressure on isis. the leadership is systematically targeted by the united states. there has been stepped up pressure. at the end of the day they have the ability to deploy the attacks and it is premature because this isis director. the bottom line is if you look at individuals the fact that they had suicide bombs they show some capability, some sophistication. not a guy just walking in with a gun. is the bomb maker still out there? where are they getting the explosives? how did they get the weapons? that airport is pretty well

number three, the concept of creating a safe haven in northern syria in order to stem the flow of migrants had been so categorically rejected by the white house and supported by mrs. clinton is evidence that underneath the brush here there is significant disagreements between the obama administration and mrs. clinton over what to do with syria. many of these diplomats supported her in her efforts and were rejected by the white house security council. >> seven months left in the obama administration. the likelihood that anything does change in that time with the new president waiting in the wings is what? >> i don't think very much. i think the administration is going to focus its efforts on isis and has conceded the fact that assad is going to remain in power. >> that may be the biggest takeaway. nice to see you. thank you very much. >> thank you, peter. >>> is he in? is he out? growing signs that senator marco rubio may run to keep his senate seat afterall. we're going to take it to capitol hill live for the very latest next. this company's servers. accessible by thousands of suppliers an

we have people fighting in northern syria and people fighting in iraq.k and forth. like squeezing a balloon, you squeeze them somewhere and they pop up somewhere else. that is the problem you have without going after them and crushing the enterprise. connell: speaking of the enterprise, i mentioned oil facilities and instarlations being attacked. others have talked about it. is that the way to go about isis or should the strategy be far more complex. >> it is more complex. quite frankly we're not doing a lost bombing there. mr. obama and joey biden don't want to bomb oil trucks or refineries because we don't want environmental damage for heaven's sakes. connell: right. >> if you're going after the guys and frankly we're not, would require a lot more bombing and frankly a lot more effort on the ground, we really need most the arab nations to undertake, it is their fight. where is saudi arabia? where is jordan? i don't think they're in the fight. they need to be. connell: that is what we heard for a long time. they're not going to get in it, are they? >> n

activities and what it means both to our relationships with the turks and uniting themal of across northern syria. i think in the long-term, it creates significant complications with the number of groups, including the kurds in iraq. markey: during the past two weeks, the ambassador nominee to iraq and a special envoy to libya testified before the committee. tactical successes against isis in iraq or libya will not bring about the strategic defeat of isis unless tactical operations hard done in a way that avoid harming civilian populations but proactively protect them from harm. to bring together version armed groups to unify governments that represent and protect all the people. sunniknowledge the committed abuses against those fleeing for their lives and it apparent adequate advance preparations were not made to receive transport and provide relief to tens of thousands of people who fled the fighting in falluja. after the fact, the iraqi government says it will hold offenders accountable and the international community is stepping up humanitarian relief efforts. but i'm very concerned that afte

we just opened the border with the kurdistan region of iraq into northern syria to get a lot of thismanitarian relief flowing. that is open for humanitarian trade, to make sure those areas are liberated from isil and resources can help people. momwe have completed the encirclement and the phase is liberating the city will begin. i will not put a timeline on that we are working with local actors who have local knowledge and pulling resources to make sure we have the stabilization piece right. syria is harder because we are not working with the central government. we will not work with the assad regime, period. it presents different challenges than iraq. if you look at what we have done in terms of clearing out the territory, we sit on a formula that works. it will be one of the most strategic blows to isil because it is their hub of war and fighters -- foforeign fighters. i suspect they will fight for it. we feel pretty good about the plan. someter: still on libya, officials are saying they're quite surprised that have gone in and forces are mobilizing. is that your assessment? mr. mc

there is an area in northern syria called the gap. many of us on the defense committee and armed services are familiar. this is the gap which terrorists after they get trained they go north into turkey and then they go west into europe and they are thinking that some of the european terrorists have come from this region that have already acted. so we're spending hundreds of to close dollars the gap, bull we'll allow a major gap and a major loophole here in the united states to continue to exist. this is very simple. and i think every one of us needs to talk about it in this way. republicans are soft on terrorism. period dot end of story. if you're not for this, you are weak on terrorism and weak on protect the american people. that's our message. one last thing, one last thing i want to say, i believe that this is illuminating a bigger problem here in congress and in washington. the american people are wondering what's going on in washington, why all the gridlock? what you-all are doing here today is communicating to the american peop
