we fought back against al-shabab. we made progress in somalia. we fought back against boko haram. we have done the same with daish in libya. in yemen if we can quiet it down. we are trying to deal with the proxy aspects of that war which are complicated. syria is even more complicated. there are about six wars in syria. saudi arabia in iran. you have israel and hezbollah. kurd vs turk vs kurd, suni, shia, oppositionists against assad. it is extraordinarily complicated in the proxyism. you have got differences between egypt and kuwait and the emirates versus saudi, emerate and turk. it is hard to declare we will go in and bomb and do this or that.

christian, so we are really facing challenges due to those religious differences, and also the al—shababfor us. sometimes, a lot of bombing and sometimes they will come and threaten our people in the community, especially when you have a shop. many ladies from refugee camps, they end up giving up on life. every time we wake up we think we have to thank god, at least we have seen a new day. it's the day after the ioc visit and rebecca and the others are training hard. they've been told that as it stands, no one's running times are good enough to qualify for the refugee team and they have a week to resubmit new ones. rebecca must shave four seconds off her personal best if she's to qualify. qualification, we are struggling for them to qualify, but the last group to be selected will be the best to go to rio. these people are refugees, and if they were in their countries training, they could run better. we are not going to rio to run for medals, we're going to rio to show that through sports, peace can be achieved. with the help of a scholarship given by the international 0lympics committee,

terrorists like ahmed wasarni, an al shabab commander and abu katala, accused leader of the benghazi attack. we can get these terrorists and stay true to who we are. and in fact our success in dealing with terrorists through our justice he system reinforces why it's time to shut down the detention center at guantanamo. it is not just my opinion. it's the opinion many military leaders. during my administration we have responsibly transferred over 175 detainees to foreign governments with safeguards to reduce the risk of them returning to the batt battlefield. and we've cut the population in gitmo from 242 to 59. the politics of fear is what prevents any detainees from being transferred to prisons in the united states. even though as we speak we imprison dangerous terrorists in our prisons and we have even more dangerous criminals in all of our prisons across the country. even though our allies oftentimes will not turn over a terrorist if they think that terrorists could end up in gitmo. even though groups like isil use gitmo in their propaganda. so we're wasting hundreds of millions o

communities that have been problems with radicalization but tending to be more loyal to al shabab, the al qaeda affiliate in somalia. now they're being lured into isis. >> michael and juliette, thank you so much. we'll stay on top of this in the next two hours on cnn. >>> coming up, another major headline we're following today. president-elect donald trump reveals a personal intriguing letter he received a week ago from the president of russia. we will read between the lines of this correspondence which was released just as mr. trump tells nbc news, and i'm quoting, "let it be an arms race and we will outlast them all." lots to discuss. we're back in a moment. oh, that's lovely... so graceful. the corkscrew spin, flawless... ...his signature move, the flying dutchman. poetry in motion. and there it is, the "baby bird". breathtaking. a sumo wrestler figure skating? surprising. what's not surprising? how much money heather saved by switching to geico. fifteen minutes could save you fifteen percent or more. ...we turn feelings... ...into jewelry. jewelry that tells her she's the best thin

there have regrettably been some people traveling to visit al shabab, they are limited in number. we must demand better accountability measures from federal, state and local municipalities. a securitized relationship with my community and the programs like cde that it feeds stoke public attacks. while this is something we should always work to oppose and counter, we should be particularly concerned about this in light of the most recent surge of hate crimes. progra manyi programming should have a policy of do not harm. the president of our institute, jim zogbe, is fond of saying we have a successful cde program, the american experience. we are not having the same experiences as france and other countries. with cde, kids hoff never seen themselves as anything but american are now being asked to be vigilant, because they may, in fact, be quote, at-risk youth. this is not only ineffective. it is harmful. programs of this nature require more analysis and oversight than they have received. the members of congress have began to look at these issues and provide some oversight. the govern
