i'm poppy harlow. 4:00 eastern here on the east coast. a lot of news we're tracking for you at this hour. for the second time in a week new england's patriots coach bill belichick has addressed deflategate deflategate. he just wrapped up a fascinating press conference. this time belichick presenting a scientific synopsis on why footballs that his team used during last sunday's game in the afc championship may have dropped below the pressure level required by the league. and he said his team followed every single league rule to a tee. joining me to talk about is sarah gannon at the patriots facility. you were there. this was an impromptu press conference. we didn't know it was happening until an hour before it happened. former nfl player cory wire joins us. some of the analysts i talked to out of this including christine brennan, cnn sports analyst, said this was just surreal. >> reporter: yeah. like you said to start off the top, this was not an expected press conference. we were told by the press people that after practice he just wanted

>> i don't think so poppy. they've been going at this they best all along not knowing whether isis was in any way serious about resolving this. if they want to resolve it they don't want to do it in a hurry so they can maintain public attention. i think this is going to play on no matter what jordan wants to do. it's going to play out for a longer period of time before there's any resolution to this. and to talk about jordan jordan is one of the most peaceful countries in the middle east. when these bombings occurred by this woman ten years ago, the reason they call it the 9/11 of jordan is because for decades you've had christians muslims, jews live side by side in jordan in a peaceful way while all of these conflicts raged all over the region. and they prided themselves on the fact that they had this kind of peace and people getting along with each other. so when these bombings occurred at the weddings in 2005 it did send a shock wave for this to occur on jordan's soil. >> and let's not forget jordan is a pla

poppy? >> i ask want to ask you that will did you get any sense early on that this will change japan's stance on the global stage militarily especially in this fight against isis? >> reporter: well certainly you know by prime minister abe publicly announcing support for the coalition against isis in the form of humanitarian aid this was something the prime minister has been planning to do for a while, to put japan geopolitically even though japan is a passivist country with a constitution that forbids the military from engaging in military action aside from its own self-defense abe wants japan to be a player and to take a stand against issues like terrorism. but he's facing some criticism here for the way that he went about it for so publicly announcing this $200 million to support the coalition against isis knowing that there were two japanese hostages in the hands of the terror group. some are asking was this well thought out? did the japanese government realize that this could happen to i

>> well not really poppy.se people do not -- or it's not really a truly coherent group with a command and control. the hostage takers the ones that keep the hostages are mostly europeans. they're not exactly a rational bunch. but more than that i think we've been talking about is the importance of the tribal aspects, the jordanian pilot. the tribes in jordan as i understand are not fully behind this war. and i think the islamic state is trying to exploit this. because in fact the islamic state depends upon certain tribal elements in the anbar province and in eastern syria. so they are playing a level of politics which is not completely transparent to us. now, i don't think they're going to get their way, but we're going to have to wait and see. i think eventually if the pilot's indeed alive they will send proof of life and will go through with the exchange. but that's just really total speculation. >> and a lot of people are asking, michael weiss, if they have proof of life why didn't they send it before when

poppy? >> i want to get the unique perspective, former jihadi reformed worked with intelligence in canada to try to help fight this you've written a book about this. when you talk about anwar al al awlaki an american-born, muslim scholar and critic who acted as a spokesperson for aqap, a lot of people have been focusing on him and saying how effective he's being for his movement from the grave. do you believe that he is critical in what we saw play out in paris and potential future attacks from sleeper cells? >> well of course anwar al al awlaki has played a role in radicalizing individual young people who have then ended up joining groups like either al qaeda or isis. and, you know, and i think the main thing is that first of all he's not a scholar. many islamic scholars have refuted what he believes. and his ph.d. is in human resource management. this is the kind of stuff he's been known to do bring people in send them off to trusted others especially in al qaeda proper. >> but i wonder wh

thank you so much poppy, for having me here.m originally from pakistan living in the united states now, and i have to say as a muslim any time any kind of terror attack happens the whole muslim community is on the edge because these terrorists are a liability to us. i think we have a moral and ethical responsibility at this point to come out and really say that you know this is not our religion. this does not represent who we are and the community has really taken it upon themselves to say, be onning we are going to speak up. sometimes it is hard to find that on the media because not a lot of voices are being heard, but i am so glad to be a part of this conversation and that's why i filed that i report because i was so frustrated just seeing all of the time these terrorists coming out and representing muslim communities when there are so many faces of islam and, you know they just are expanding on the stereotype that needs to be addressed. >> and you said what do i tell my daughter? how do i explain this to my daughter? >> absol

who are the people behind the poppies question mark they are -- behind the poppies? they are ordinary people who did extraordinary things will stop -- who did extraordinary things. they represent william angus who was shot 40 times while rescuing an unconscious comrade from the title field yet remarkably survived. they represent walter sinclair smith. walter was just a teenager and was tragically shot by accident during the christmas day truce. but they don't just represent soldiers. they represent those left behind. people like elizabeth cranston. elizabeth would visit her local railway station every single day waiting for the return of her four sons will stop none of them came home. for a small nation like scotland, war is devastating. we suffered twice as many casualties per head as england and over a quarter of our servicemen died. when you put on your poppy, i urge you not just to think about the tens, hundreds, the thousands, but to think about the walters, the williams, the daniels and the elizabeths. those individuals are what wearing a poppy is all about. th

but essentially it is just that tinted to get poppy cultivators to grow other crops for export. and in the case of thailand, it was a whole host of things but the program in thailand which took about 20 years to have an effect, was seen as a model, as a successful program and therefore, if we could do it in thailand, it should be tried in other places. and it has occurred in lots of places around the globe, particularly in some cocoa producing countries in south america. ultimately though in the long run, so even in the nixon and ford administration, the carter administration, the u.s. is providing funds for crop replacement in thailand is seen as a successful model because illicit production in thailand does go down. in the long run, i mean up to today, alternative development really has had mixed success in reducing the overall amount of illegal drugs being produced. but nontheless, it was seen as a successful policy and worthy of repetition elsewhere. dea agents would look at the amount of surety of heroin that was in the united states to determine if there was an effect erad
