russi vladimir putin said that russia must do everything possible putin said someone needed to take personal responsibility. well, monday the anti-doping agency recommended russia be suspended from athletics including olympic games on systemic, repeated doping offenses. >> i ask the sports minister and all of his leagues to give it his utmost attention. we must carry out our own internal investigation to ensure the most open. i want to stress this, the most open professional cooperation with international anti-doping structures. here in russia we must do all we can to get rid of this problem. >> rory challands has this update from moscow. >> what was interesting before vladimir putin's address, and it was a brief one, was that he didn't actually criticize the report into russian athletic doping at all. that has been done. but vladimir putin focused on what thetive response to this should be. now putin is a leader who sees himself as an athlete. he practices martial arts. he plays ice hockey. he goes skiing. he was also immensely proud that russia hosted a winter olympics in 2004, and he obvi

and -- the flow of foreign fighters out of russi areas into syria poses an enormous long-term threat to russia territory. so, there is a potential convergence of interests between the various parties. it requires us -- working with them to make the kind of strategic shift that is necessary. and frankly, that i've talked to putin about for five years now. it requires a recognition that the existing structure cannot gain the legitimacy to stop the war. let me say one last thing because i tracked the question you posed to president hollande about what could or could not have been prevented. all of our intelligence personnel, here in the united states, across the atlantic, work tirelessly, as i said earlier. to disrupt plots and prevent terrorist attacks. the vast majority of their successes in disrupting plots are not advertised. you never hear about them. but, were it not for the dedication of those intelligence and law enforcement and military professionals, this would be a much more dangerous world. about speculating about what if and coulda a woulda in a situation like this. because

states to participate, have been unsuccessful you're talking about regional force than be but the russis would be active there? people are highly skeptical that such a aorce could be put together. >> let them be skeptic call. we have tried it, they are ready. but also assad has to be part of the equation, he cannot stay inn power for one day longer than necessary. and if you had the right president and the right leadership, they would coalesce. but there is no confidence in the arab world today in the united states of america. that has to be restored if we want to put together a regional force which has to have ameririn participation. >> dickerson: thank you so much. back. bob dylan. to improve my language skills, i've read all of your lyrics. uou've read all of my lyrics? i can read 800 million pages per second that's fast. my analysis shows your major themes are that time passes. and love fades. that sounds about right. i have never known love. maybe we should write a song together. i can sing. you can sing? do be bop. be bop do. do be do be do. do do do be do. >> dickerson: now for so

drawing obama and putin into a new coalition against isis were derailed by turkish shoot down of the russi plane. >> turkey, like every country, has a right to defend its territory and air space. >> reporter: and obama sharply criticized putin would he said is fighting a different enemy than u.s..nd france. >> the challenge has been russia's focus on propping up assad rather than focusing on isil. russia right now is a coalition of two. iran and russia supporting assad. >> reporter: obama is calling on russia not to escalate with turkey despite putin's threats. >> putin will respond. there is no doubt in my mind. i think it is highly unlikely thahahe would attack turkey and nato ally, but i think you could see a response inside of syria. >> reporter: france is ramping up air-strikes against isis from a carrier inn the mediterranean. >> make no mistake, we will win and groups like isil will lose. >> reporter: but after all of the@ intelligence failures in france and belgium, obama demanded better intelligence cooperation with france an the rest of europe, especially the names of passengers

. >>> the investigation into the russi russian plane disaster in egypt.tors say they are 90% sure that there was an explosion caused by a bomb. joining me is a fox news military analyst. if this was isis, what does it say about the sophistication level of their operation? we don't know what methodology reports they used to penetrate it. it could have been an ideological supporter on the inside and could have been someone who was paid by a third party, maybe they thought they were smuggling something or it could have been someone whose family was being held hostage or threatened with death if they didn't participate. >> you really don't know. does this mean they are going to heighten already heightened security around the world? >> there's not a lot that you can do. even tsa pointed out that they were missing well above 80% to 90% of the test bombs that we sent through the system. we're using the same technology with same basic people expecting different results. it's not going to happen. >> let's go back to this. if this is isis, does that mean russia is

it was during russi--during rush hour. this was a well thought-out attack. targeted the presidential guards, elite forces of the security forces in tunisia. the presidential guard was involved in saving american diplomats in 2012 during the militants, the attack against the u.s. embassy in 2012. and the presidential guard is very active in protecting tunisian politicians and some diplomats mainly against the threat that islamist groups present. so the attacker started very well, the attacker did did know that a lot of police then would be in that bus at the time, and did he it. what is scary here is that we don't know yet. this is either daesh or al-qaeda, we don't know, but in either case that means that they're studying the field very well. they know the locations very well. they know how to target and when. this is related to the other attacks that happened over the last month in egypt, france, and it means that tunisia is one of these theaters of this global war by jihad. not on jihad but by jihad. >> tell us about the state of emergency that has been im

the russis have moved forward to deploy an air defense syste that we can't penetrate. >> what would you do about that air defse system? >> well, at this point, you know with thatir defense system is to take it out and of course that's very serious martha, that's all you can do right now. no, i think we should proceed with moving forward on a no-fly zone and putting boots on the ground with europeans and our friends inn the middle east like we had in the first gulf war to destroy isis once and for all. >> you have called for boots on the ground. you're calling an invading force, an occupying force. >> i'm not talking about occupy occupying force. i'm talkingbout a coalition that looked like we had in first gulf war that would involve our friends innhe middle east. becaususe we'reot going to solve this problem with isis by just siing back and delaying or dithering which is what we have done, and the longer we do this, rebels in the beginning so assad survives. all of a sudden, the russians are there with a very strong air defense system that not only could potentially limit what we do but

and parallel but it shouldn't be an obstacle to -- the russis have an interest here in defeating isis, they have hundreds if not thousands of russians who have come into this fight from russia, they have 224 russians killed in this airline attack we believe by isis and sinai. to date they haven't put their focused effort on this, that should be a test for them here. as to whether they can get themselves to act here in coordination with the rest of the nation natural community against isis. >> dickerson: your homeland security expertise, in conversation with they canan about syrian refugees what i your take on how much threat that is and how the administration handled the debate? >> l really interesting to me, the president made impacksed humanitarian argument. i believe he does care about of the refugees, he's not made the most persuasive which is the national security argument. to not bring refugeess in you leave these people in desperate circumstances and you see the battlefield that are the camps to recruitment of isis, al qaeda. you lead he those potential new recruits to our chil

russi russi russian plane that was brought down which killed 224 people, and now the egyptian crash committeeead is responding. >> the committee was not provided with any evidence in this regard to a bomb on board. >>> and now, joining us, the executive director of the aceteroc project. what made you draw the possibility of a terrorist attack? >> well sh, there are many stro indicators here. the aircraft was at 32,000 in the air and broke up in midair and could be attributed to some instances, but that is not likely. russia has had two suicide bomb attacks in 2004 which broke up the aircraft in this same way, and so there are distinct indicators there, and on the ground, you would have organizations like the fbi and mi-5 to test for the residue, and the british and the american fbi indicate there is some evidence there from that which confirm as bomb was on board. >> and now, we have just heard from the committee that there is no evidence of bomb claims con f confir mation, and how does intel sharing work in this situation? >> in this situation on the ground, it is in the interest of egypt to

we don't want to cave to the russi russians, because we need them for what they did in crimea and ukrainewe have to keep that in front on the discussions. we have to continue the pressure on russia. we look at them as an ally in the case, but allies are always temporary in these situations. president hollande's agenda and our agenda may not be aligned here. it will be difficult for president obama, i think, to ensure that we can on one hand support the french president for what his objectives are, without necessarily looking like we're too soft on russia. >> it's so complicated to figure out a solution. obviously they have so much to talk about. it does seem, bob, what president hollande and president obama need to figure out is what is next for bashar al assad? isn't he the bunch pin here? when it comes to them fighting isis and forming a coalition with russia, there's been no decision since both hollande and obama have said that al assad needs to leave. what happens next with him? isn't that key? >> that's absolutely key. believe me, i think there's much greater minds that can comment a

also they're looking for coordination, both american and russi russian jets have been involved in the fight against isis. they haven't shared a lot of military information so that's something else thil be doing. after this meeting, between president hollande and secretary kerry, kerry talked to lester holt and he said, while he wasn't exactly surprised he was shocked by what happened here. >> i was shocked by it. not surprised. i find that we all know because we are following the threat streams that any individual who wants to strap a suicide vest around them can walk in to any public event and most places in the world and blow him or herself up and destroy people with them. so that's the nature of terror. that's why terrorists are called terrorists. >> so secretary kerrly found himself in some ways defending what president obama had to say yesterday staking heat saying there's not a strong strategy and secretary kerry said it's about more flights to go after i snis syria and special forces on the ground and no major change. >> i was going to say, that's what they have said was the po
