and robert mcfadden, special agent in charge of ncis with the suppan group. when you look at this physically in the areas of airports physically ahead of the tsa check points, are those sort of ideal soft target where is you have huge lines of people waiting and no protection? >> it does represent a soft target. as we know in terrorism going back decades, for example palestinian groups in the '70s and '80s hit many airports in europe it's a plum target for terrorist actors and others with different motivations. so where you have a large group of people high density, though security in airports though armed securities is much more than it used to be but somewhat of a soft target. >> haven't they recently begun to put security right at the first doorway in some airports? i believe it was possible in lebanon and beirut? >> in some places but it depends where you're talking about around the world and even in the united states and with what the security posture is. >> is it a good idea? >> in the business that's referred to random force protection measure, so chan

robert mcfadden is a security expert and agent. he described what the u.n. security council could do. >> you know god bless the u.s. security council or the u.n. security council and the good people of yemen. many people i have spent in this country, it tears my hair out. with the event of yesterday with the mosque bombing, that adds a horrible ingredient into a situation that's been terrible up to this point. that is to stir the sectarian nature of what is going on right now, where you have innocent people in a mosque may be associated with a sect. this is something where yemen has been evolving or devolving from where things are not sectarian, it was political about power, resources geography, going head long into a sectarian nature of the fight. what the u.n. security council can do and other concerned nations is to do all it can to support and influence a form of cessation of hostilities by the main actors finding some form of where ali and others loyal to him fit in as well as the southern movement as part of who might net as a rational actor among the

robert mcfadden has served as intelligence officer across the world including yemen bahrain united arabrates and other places in the middle east. robert welcome. >> thanks for having me. >> how significant is in offensive in the middle east? and what does it mean for the rest of the world? >> it's greatly significant. i mean, we haven't seen anything like this in modern times in the middle east. when you talk about yemen itself, maybe the closest was back in the 1960s when egyptian forces went in and it ended very badly for the egyptians, so in that sense it's major on a sale. >> is it a proxy war between saudi arabia and iran? >> in some ways. but calling it a proxy war even at this point is somewhat over simplification, because if things had been going on with the houthis the population in the far northwest of the country, have been going on since the early to mid 2,000s. however, with saudi arabia leading the gulf coalition though, it certainly takes the proxy part out of it because they are actually engaged. >> but with the united states involved in the coalition what does that do -

. >> robert mcfadden. senior president. >> thank you. >> the british parliament questions the families of three teenage girls that travel to syria. the u.k. is debating new laws serve airlines who they expect are at risk. >> airline staff could mistake small girls for friends. we know teenagers left their family in london to join fighters in syria. it's estimated hundreds of britains have done the same. some girls go to marry fighters others to fight, torture and kill. eager to stop them members of perimeter ask the girl's family what signs they could look for. they said there were no clues. >> we monitored what she did when she was on the phone. she was reading books on there, she was playing games, joining in, having competitions in that sense we feel like we had monitored as match as we do missed something out. >> the father had this warning. >> be vigilant not to fall on the same trap. also under scrutiny the airlines carrying these girls and others out of britain. the government pushes through measure

. >>> robert mcfadden described what the u.n. security council could do to prevent yemen's dissent. >> god bless the u.n. security council and the good people of yemen. many years i spend. it tears my heart out. with the event of yesterday, that headlines a horrible ingredient into a situation that's been terrible up to this point. the debt is purely purely to stir the sectarian nature of what is going on right now. where you have innocent people in a mosque associated with a sect. still, this is something where yemen has been dissolving from where things were not sectarian. it's more powerful. going head long into a sectarian nature of the fight. what the security council can do to do all it can to support and influence some form of cessation of the hostilities by the main actors being the houthi. and the sect. and finding some form of where ali and those loyal to him fit in, as well as the fourth rail here. the southern movement. and part of who might negotiate the actor. the u.s. secretary of state has been playing down report

robert mcfadden with a group that advises clients on the security risks abroad.s on news or through social media and decide to go fight. what is the makeup of somebody interested in doing this or through your group? >> first of all, it is important to look at where we're talking about, what country and what region. for example, something that motivates a young person in the united kingdom might be different than a young person in the united states. so as we say, the range of motivations is as complex as human behavior but a lot of it depends on the environment where the young person is and the influences, whether education, lack of opportunities, alienations. >> so for americans, speak directly to our culture. if they are u.s. teens trying to link up and do go this. >> and for america, the challenge we have for foreign fighters going to place like syria, we're in good shape, actually. many less challenges than our counterparts in europe when it comes to feelings of alienation educational opportunities and influences, those potent and toxic influences that may pus
