the point being foreign policy like politics bores a vacuum so if there is space created in syria, in africaplaying as active a role, of course someone like putin will see andak opportunity. >> i also say, i was just on foreign policy today and all of the serious people talking about china. china is the true -- which is true in a sense, is the real global competitor, russia is poor and they don't have much money and this is a thuggish state but we underestimate the damage they could do by supporting chaos and authoritarians so it is not a china type competitor but the world could get more dangerous if russia helps authoritarianism and doesn't mind the spread the weapons of mass destruction and crushes free press and shows other authoritarians how to do this. so pute sine big problem. >> and look at what they did in our 2016 election. just in terms of sowing chaos and down. >> and there were many reasons and so much pushback with congressional republicans to pull troops out of syria this month or last month i guess at this point. because obviously the republicans were making this could could

leaders around the world and over the past year, coalitions against isis, iraq and syria and the so-called caliphate. africa,, efforts across the middle east continued to diminish the ranks of al qaeda and isis. interagency efforts to enhance defense at home has resulted in continuous progress against homeland security -- terrorist attacks. challenges remain and i will highlight just three. first, military operations have brought us time and space as we address a global terror threat. it remains a significant concern and after 9/11 we were primarily focused on external attack capability against the afghanistan-pakistan border. 18 years later, we face homegrown violent extremist threats and also 20 isis networks that range from tens of hundreds of thousands of people. there is a growing terror threat for racially motivated threats around the world. there are far more radicalized individuals then 9/11 which highlights the importance of terrorism prevention. while some aspects can only be done with her kinetic operations , the radiance will not be dealt with by military alone. the second challenge stems from t

syria. there also focused on isis's growth across west africa. >> isis is outpacing the ability of regionalts and international partners to address that threat. >> while isis attempts to expand south, there are thousands of captured former fighter. the trump administration is pushing countries whose citizens joined isis in the middle east to bring them home to face justice. >> no one should expect the united states, or anyone else, to solve this problem for them. >> some countries are instead pushing for international tribunals. the u.s. called that suggestion "not feasible." >> we all have a shared responsibility to ensure that isis fighters are never able to return to the battlefield to prevent isis from radicalizing or inspiring a next generation of terrorists. >> officials here say there needs to be a sense of urgency for countries to bring back there isis fighters as the situation in syria can quickly change. just as it has over the past few weeks. ret. >> bret: rich edson at the state department, thanks. a federal judge has ruled a woman who fled the u.s. to join isis five years ago i

its territory, it is still present in attacking about syria and iraq and reconstituting itself elsewhere. it even controls territory in western africa provinces in afghanistan and. are essential, to stall there. it has lost its geographical identity, but is much more than a virtual organisation, it still has a lot of support. us sources think that is well over 12,000 people, act of parliament was, in iraq and syria, what makes it more complicated as the decision of some americans to withdraw their largely symbolic but important troops from northern syria and lets the turks to cover part of the area. that means the cards themselves, american allies, are less allies now because they have other things to contend with. is also a case that in the whole area, many of the isis people got out of the jails they were detained in. so it isa the jails they were detained in. so it is a messy picture. indeed, thank you very much for trying to walk us through that. at this point, viewers in the uk are leaving us, with our news channel bringing them newswatch, before coverage resumes at 10pm local time. hello and welcome to newswatch. as a general
