in the basement area, and that is the unit that mr. mccabe has reined for the last 10 years. when it was van taij yours for the permit holder to rent the unit and receive rental income, he did so now when it is advantageous to demolish the unit and sell the property as a single family home in this insane real estate market, he is trying to take advantage of the farting that he built an ill laoem unit and sell it as a single family unit and demolish it. this will result in the displacement of a long term permanently disabled tenant, it will change the nature of the property so it will not be rent controlled housing anymore, it's currently two unit, both units are covered by the rent ordinance and the rent control protections of the rent ordinance, if this eviction happens, the upper unit will be a single family home which is not subject to the rent control protections of the rent ordinance so we will be losing not only rental stock but rent controlled housing in san francisco, and that is in couldn't ra ensuing of the mayor's executive d

it is the united states that will take this role. and it's very important to understand that europe was never at peace. 100,000 people died in yugoslavia. but the europeans have said that with the european union it doesn't count. but what has happened here is that the countries that face russia, the baltics poland and romania we face them alone. the other europeans are not part of it. as if world war ii in the pacific seemed to be at risk and iowa wasn't really involved. and that is the real reality of europe. and so the nationstate represents a shared fate and shared history and shared culture. in one of the things the european union tried to do was not abolished the love of one's own but redefine it so that there were two loves, your country and also europe. it's pretty much what they tried to do in virginia at the revolution. it was very hard those few months. and this is the underlying crisis of europe today, which is increasingly the institutions that have held europe together between 1992 and 2008 that are collapsing. meetings a

the military unit was made up of 1800 servicemen. both american and canadian veterans attended the event at the u.s. capitol. this program lasts about an hour. [applause] >> ladies and gentlemen, the speaker of the united states house of representatives, the honorable john boehner. [applause] >> ladies and gentlemen, good afternoon and welcome to the united states capitol. it's good to see all of you here today. since the days of the revolution, congress has awarded gold medals to express the people's appreciation for distinguished achievements. the first recipient was general george washington himself in march of 1776. today pursuant to house resolution 324 we will present a gold medal in honor of the first special service force. the force was activated in 1942 as an elite unit of 1800 american and canadian commandos. just how elite? well, for every man they lost, they killed 25. for every man they captured, they took 235. the force was so fierceless that the enemy dubbed them the devils and so effective today that our special forces

in that spirit, the united states mint at the direction of the congress and the president of the united honor of these 1st special service force. and we present it here on this day in our capitol on behalf of a proud and grateful nation. thank you. [applause] we will now do the presentation of the medal right here in front. if i could have the stage participants. [applause] >> ladies and gentlemen, canadian veteran of the 1st special service force, mr. charles w. mann. >> honorables sirs, madame ladies and gentlemen of canada and the united states, i'll start off by saying i was at one time an amateur politician. it will probably show today. at any rate, good afternoon, honorable members of the american and canadian government, especially members of the senate and house of representatives. it is my sincere privilege to accept this award on behalf of the canadian 1st special service force, world war ii veterans their family members and the force members who are no longer with us. i acknowledge the presidents of canadian and american military personnel. these are our historical modern spe

thank you to the united states postal service. the shadow of the monument, a generous gift bestowed to the grateful nation by the daughters of 1812. they are the sites first partners. the daughters remain steadfast supporters of the fallen soldiers. by deepening awareness of the war of 1812 for their commitment and hard work. let's give them a round of applause. [applause] the people of louisiana have dedicated themselves to today's celebration recognizing the importance of the battle of new orleans bicentennial, a commission was established to educate residents and to support activities that honor our debt to the past. the commission presented a proposal for a new memorial, the passage of unity. later, we will unveil the concept design. lieutenant governor, thank you to your commitment -- for your commitment to this. join me in applauding him. [applause] every day, the united states and united kingdom's flags decorate this landscape. the symbol of grief -- it symbolizes our grief and embodies our respect for the armed forces and c

correspondent richard roth is joining us now from the united nations. tell us more about what the iraqi ambassador is alleging and the reaction you're getting from united nations officials, richard. >> wolf these are disturbing allegations. but there's no proof so far that the media here has been shown, there have been reports over the last few months that there might be some type of organ harvesting done by a group such as isis. but there's never really been any formal clarification of that. the iraqi ambassador told reporters off camera yesterday that the iraqi authorities have found holes in backs and gaps where kidneys would be in the remaining bodies of murdered civilians inside iraq. he said that 10 to 12 doctors in mosul were executed because they refused to harvest organs. the ambassador said that there were middlemen and buyers especially in europe that the organs are then flown out from airports that isis now controls. however, this may not be as easy as it sounds since organs need to be transplanted pretty quickly should they indeed be taken o

including the president of the united states. the first images we are getting from inside the courthouse inside the courtroom in brooklyn earlier today. we will have more on this breaking news. that's coming up. >>> there's other news we are following, including this. the centers for disease control and prevention now reporting a dramatic increase in the number of infections caused by a potentially deadly bacteria. the troubling word from health officials that many patients may have contracted it at their doctor's office or dentist's office. elizabeth cohen is working the story. what are you finding out? >> reporter: we think of doctor's offices as places we go to get better. in fact those offices may harbor bacteria. it is potentially deadly. 15,000 deaths per year approximately, in the united states. most of the time when people get this they get it from hospitals typically. however, in this case the cdc looked at a large group of people who had not recent by been in the hospital. most of the people had recently been to a doctor

the president of the united states or the secretary cannot name and shame people like that. but i really do hope behind closed doors that's the conversation being had. >> when all is said and done i think bear you'll agree, yes air power, education all of these other initiatives are going to be really important. but what's most important is defeating them militarily. you can't do that simply with air power. you need troops on the ground. >> i think so. i mean i think -- you know i used to say leave this alone, it will go away. it will collapse. it won't anymore. you see turkey still allowing jihadists to cross the border. they deal with them every day. you have the current king of saudi arabia as one of the big funders of islamic fund meant lichl. until you get to these people and really truly crush this, we do risk it spreading and you do need a military solution as well as political. you can't do it by one alone. >> yeah, we'll see if the arab countries in the region are willing to step up. i want all of you to standby. we have much more to discuss. we're about to go live

sometime poverty marginalization leads to extremism and i think the united nations responsibility today to address this issue, we know that there is a commitment through the security council last summer when they're leaders met and agree on adopting the resolution 2178 to counter terrorism around the world, and this is a great move, but we want to see implementation. i think we should collection our efforts. >> let's talk about some of what you just said. you said sometimes marginalization leads to extremism. more often than not, it does not. you have countries in terrible poverty around the world where extremism doesn't exist, so why do you think -- what is the toxic mix here that creates extremism, aside from marginalization and poverty? >> if we look at middle east dictatorship, corruption, a lack of education lack of opportunities that so many young people to take that road, and we see today, we cannot only accuse those young people from middle east. we see many young people coming also from europe. >> well that's the thing, you're seeing radicalization happen in countries where the

russia china, the united states or the netherlands?e'll tell you the correct answer. >>> this week's "book of the week" is david boas's "the libertarian mind." people often wonder what it means when someone describe himself or herself as a libertarian, including people like rand paul, allen greenspan and peter thee. he does a superb job of explaining the idea and he does it with passion. for anyone interested in politics this is a valuable resource and well-written book. >>> and now for the last look. it is challenging for americans to have their children stuck at home during the seemingly endless winter weather, so imagine just how arduous a nationwide half-year sky hiatus would be all why battling a dadly epidemic. this week thousands of children returned to skee in liberia for the first time in over six months. classes were back in session in some places once hands were washed and temperatures were taken, of course. according to reuters, the ministry of education in liberia hopes all schools will open in march. the return to school

i'm going to the united states not because i seek a confrontation with the president. but because i must fulfill my obligation to speak up on a matter that affects the very survival of my country. >> netanyahu's decision to speak is not playing well with some in israel either. elections are a little over a month away and he can't count on a photo op with president obama when he comes to the u.s. >> as i said before i talk to him all the time. our teams constantly coordinate. we have a practice of not meeting with leaders right before their elections two weeks before their elections. >> so we know two things right now. prime minister netanyahu is scheduled to address congress on iran and he won't be coming to the white house during his visit next month. we want to start our conversation tonight in israel where robbie sable joins us. he's a retired foreign service officer, currently a professional of international law at hebrew university. robbie sable welcome. is this situation getting as much attention in israel? >> even more. it's a major issue here because the israel

so what was the competitive advantage of the united states? , in the 17 '90s it exploded in europe and at the same time production diminished because of the revolution in haiti, the united states was the one territory in the world in which land and labor existed. no powerful and entrenched situation needed to be dislodged. instead workers were forcefully moved in and indeed 1 million of them are forced in. the kind of social situations ascended upon the north american countries. they could then recast the nature and the organization which it work. it's hard to imagine that this couldn't be a part of this in the world. when the british tried to in greece on production in the 1820s and 1830s, they largely failed in this project. production in other parts of the world such as the indies and ottoman empire were part of this, but not because european factory owners and such had a preference for slave grown cotton and saw that it could not be taken from this part of the world, but because they lack military infrastructure and capacity to recast the p

what happened in the united states is american. as to the europeans the gdp of europe is greater than the united states if they wish to stabilize the situation in russia nobody would stop from. the germans didn't want to stabilize the situation in greece or spain, so leave unless. the idea that had the united states engaged in trying to rebuild russia and the united states would not be resented deeply for rebuilding russia the united states can be shown to intersect with everything that happens. it cannot be held morally responsible for other nations behavior. if you want to talk about the fact the united states did things that may have moved nations differently i fully agree. if you want to say that absent the united states this wouldn't have happened i don't think that is true. what i am arguing is what happened in russia had more to do with germany and the great deal more to do with the european union and european union's policies toward russia than it had to do with the united states. we had little frayed with russia, the europe

x in the other unit, we have mr. rees jenkins who has never received any notice of eviction in any way, shape or form. the landlord claims in his responsive brief that mr. rees intends to vacate, however mr. rees indicated something different to mr. bell last fight. what we have now is a potential [inaudible], there's nothing on file with the rent board indicating any intent to do an lmi, on the other hand, we have a situation where the landlord is trying to blur what's going on but purporting to do a demolition when he's in fact only -- his plans currently only allow him to demolish a kitchen and to get other space up to code, so this is not a demolition, the landlord never required a separate demolition permit as must happen under building code 106a .1 the landlord never gave notice of intent to apply for a demolition permit after he had already obtained the permit and then he provided the notice and then he claim today the rent board that he was going to do a demolition eviction that's the only record the rent boar

as alluded to earlier tonight, the history of the united states is one that has a continuous stream of minority groups who have been targeted landscape goaded and victimized by abuses of power, african-americans being the most common and consistent example, but other groups as well, whether immigrants or accuse communists were japanese-americans during world war ii have been similarly targeted based on the knowledge that these marginalized minority groups that the government can seize power without anyone much caring about it. the air is an argument that the muslims are the latest in this continuum, the current example that has replaced communists and other groups as this favorite group from the u.s. government to target and demonize to justify abuses of power. there is an argument that one should look at it that way. i actually think there are some unique attributes about this persecution that distinguish it from those other prior examples. i think is very difficult to compare injustices quantitatively to see which are better or worse. it's not profitable to do that, there are unique

it as problem for the united states. every president says we need to spend more time on the western hemisphere and then every president doesn't do it. and we really do need to spend more time and more concern with the threats we may face who face here in the hemisphere. i'm quite concerned about it. trouble it and as my i think entire remarks dem monarchies stray there be so many problems that have fess at thed for six years because the president won't address them when you lay them all out it sounds pretty gloomy and in fact it is pretty gloom createy. if we are not prepared to face up to it as a country or even if we faced up to a limited number of these problems, others would still remain to endanger us or our friends and allies and it is not going to get any better. the presidents simply wrong if he believes that not talking about foreign threats and challenges is going to make them easier to resolve. it doesn't. it obviously makes them harder. i will take one or two more here. yes, sir. >> korean freedom alliance. yo

and the growth is critical to the united states in the world economy. we are also working to get the world economies to take ambitious action on climate change including our initiative to illuminate public financing for power plants overseas and our global efforts to save us from the most dangerous greenhouse gases. our discussion this morning focused on global security issues. we reaffirmed our commitment to training afghan security forces supported sovereign and united afghanistan. we agree that the international community has to continue enforcing existing sanctions as part of our diplomatic effort to keep iran from acquiring nuclear weapons. we have to do everything we can to try to achieve a good, verifiable deal. two issues of particular that we worked this morning are russia's aggression against ukraine and the international fight against i soul. with regards to russia and the separatists support in ukraine it is clear that they violated just about every commitment that they made in the minsk agreement. if that of withdrawn from eastern ukraine,

he's also shared with me that he's forgiven the united states. e doesn't hold us directly responsible. but he -- he believes that we were -- we were acquiescent that we were not helpful in terms of preventing saddam from using the gas that was used against the iranians. so for whatever that's worth. yeah. >> greg in the middle there. wait for the mic. >> thank you for this presentation. i wanted to follow-up on what you were just talk about the iranian views about nuclear weapons. did you get a sense there was a differentiation. i would just a iodc commander would have a different view than ayatollah and goem. so the man on the street. that is the first part. the second part since there is a religious component in your dialogue how did you explain to the iranians the christian view about the morality of nuclear weapons? >> let me take this in reverse order. first of all, i believe there are differences of opinion within iran. there are clearly people for example innine ine iran who do not want to see the reproachment against the united states. one

it was a wakeup call for the united states. the jordanian pilot, one of the most horrific videos i have ever seen and a very sophisticated hollywood movie production style lit on flames. they are barbarians. and i think the barbarians are at the gate. we want to keep them outside the gate of the united states. i'm concerned that some have already returned. so my first question is, we know there are 50,000 isis strong. foreign fighters have gone from 15,000 to 20,000. we know that 5,000 of these foreign fighters have western passports that could get them entrance into the united states. and as the director mentioned, there are hundreds of americans who have traveled to the region to fight with isis. we know that some of them have returned. that's a classified number. but my first question is for those who have returned to the united states, what assurance can you give the american people, what confidence do we have first that we know all the people who have joined the fight and returned? and what are we doing about it to ensure t

the united states was there before the war. and i think the primary and underlying goal is to reduce that a security. there is an intention a tendency to misread the intentions of adversaries tendency to what the other guy to make all the concessions but it has enough of the basis to compel responsibility. the primary motivation and focus since the late 1990s for what they perceived as a threat of separatism. and that has given focus to what they have done. military capabilities. i think there is a strategic, larger strategic focus to what china is doing and that is to more of a strategic depth defending against the united states. that's a terrible place. chinese defense planner. the problem is that space is already occupied we we will continue to have them. then you have natural resource competition. the current worry on everybody's mind is what is happening in maritime east asia. chinese military capabilities and law enforcement it has grown somewhat more aggressive in its actions in the maritime domain. my own view is that c

we will utilize the mat form of the united nations -- the platform of the united nations to send a powerful message of tolerance and solidarity and reconciliation. honorable secretary, distinguished ministers, llenes, ladies and gentlemen, there is much pain in today's world. -- in schools and offices, bombs claiming lives every day. it can be overwhelming. it is certainly heartbreaking. at the same time, i take heart at the acts of heroism and solidarity that are so often on display at times of tests like this. i take heart when i read a muslim -- spiriting two patrons to safety in a perilous storm or when christians -- to muslims freeing carnage in the central african republic or when thousands counterrerred bloodshed with marches of solidarity from copenhagen and -- that is the heart we need. our future depends on it. and i count on your strong leadership and political will to defeat terrorism and ec treatmentism. -- extremism. you can count on the united nations. i thank you very much. thank you. [applause] let me begin by expressing my sympathy and full support to denmark and to its pe

it is one that we guarded vigilantly here in the united states. last year, we joined together to pray for the release of christine missionary kenneth held in north korea. today we give thanks that he is home where he belongs, with his family. [applause] detained in iran since 2012. i was recently in boise, idaho and had the opportunity to meet his beautiful wife and children. i conveyed to them that our country has not forgot about said and will do everything we can to bring him home. [applause] then i received an extraordinary letter from him. in it, he describes his captivity and expresses attitude for my visit with his family. he thinks assault for standing in solidarity with him during his captivity. the pastor wrote nothing is more valuable than the body of christ moves ahead of countries and leadership's through united prayer. he closed his letter by describing himself as " a prisoner for christ was proud to be part of this great nation the united states of america that cares for religious freedom around the world." [applause] we are going to

so how would that relate to the position in the united states? >> i think it's a bet. and king hussein invested in the education of the people. fundamentally, the instability issues you're talking about, the way the king sort of makes move things move is dealing with as in many of these governments balancing positions to the various tribes and trying to sort of modernize their government and move it forward in a way that the people feel that they are getting a fair shake from the political system. jordan has long had a problem and, frankly, many think a worsening problem in corruption and the question about competence of government. and i think that the king has not made as much headway on those issues as many might like. but when it comes to the partnership and alliance with the united states, i think that jordan for a long time and in part because it, along with egypt, has had peace with israel and is unique in the region, they've also been exposed to the modernity of that and israel is a part of that picture and the united states was the sculptor and architect in es

senator graham that the united states, the administration has barred from bringing detainees to the united states mainland. also barred from releasing detainees without 30 days of notification. why should the american people believe that obligation will be any more respected than the prior notification obligation was last year? >> the lack of notification in the bergdahl case -- >> all laws are created equal. there was a law that created prior notification. a law that prohibits detainees from coming to guantanamo bay. what assurance can we receive that there will not be a detainee on our shores tomorrow morning. >> senator, what i can say as to the 30-day notice issue, our lawyers believe we had a valid legal reason we took, on the issue we're asking, we are focused on transfers in the process. i'm not aware of any conversations not to follow the current steps. >> i now want to explore the so-called risk balance of resit viz m and the propaganda. >> i'm not sure if i follow the question. >> engaging in terrorism or anti-american excitement. because they're detained. they only engage in tha

they need the united states to do that. it's not been forthcoming. >> that's al jazeera america's mike viqueira. we'll take a break. when we come back, who is king salman. for on the succession in the region and we'll dig deeper with the ambassador. stay with us. it's "inside story". >>> you are watching "inside story," i'm ray suarez. as saudi arabians mourn the death of king abdullah, we look at the relationship between the king and the united states. military, economic, and cultural, the two countries often see eye to eye and often don't. for the rest of the program i'm joined by director of the institute for gulf affairs, and ambassador james smith, u.s. ambassador to saudi arabia from 2009 to 2013, and a senior counsellor at the co-jep group. -- cohen group. you heard mike viqueira. you were the man in riyadh. does it agree with what you saw when you were in place? >> absolutely, and the first issue is offering condolence. it's a wonderful tradition. three days after the passing. the fact that you have brought a delegat

was a student who decided to come to the united states to pursue a phd in nuclear engineering. he arrived at the university of missouri to study and obtained his phd and decided along with his wife he wanted to stay in the united states and work in the united states rather than returning to iraq. work as aand got research professor at the university of missouri, became an integral part of the columbia community. he and his wife ultimately had five children, all of them american-born u.s. citizens. the problem is beginning of the early 1990's, for the next decade, he had numerous family member still in iraq, including 11 siblings, along with his elderly mother who was blind. millions ofs and iraqis, his family members were not just suffering great deprivation, although they were, they were literally on the boundary of starvation, typically unable to feed themselves in any way that provides major sustenance. this is incredibly common among the regime sanctions. although he was earning a modest salary, he simply could not in good conscious live even what was really a lower middle-c

why is this happening in the united states? i don't know. hink there are a lot of factors mixed in. but the demonization of putin has become so extreme in this country, i do not recall and enter this field back in the 1960's, the united states ever demonizing a soviet communist leader the way our leaders do, obama, mrs. clinton referring to him as hitler. if putin is hitler, clearly, we have to go to war. that is the logic. is it not? is it not? where are the voices that say, this is crazy? he may be a russian nationalist, he may be threatening, but hitler? >> during an interview on cnn, president obama acknowledged united states played a role in the ouster of viktor yanukovych last february. >> mr. putin made this decision around crimea and ukraine not because of a grand strategy, but essentially he was caught off balance by the protests and viktor yanukovych fleeing after we brokered a deal to transition power in ukraine. >> president obama's comments read headlines in russia. this is russian foreign minister sergei lavrov. >> i have two co

colonel nam tong ho, of the korean people's army >> on this side is north korea and the other is united states and south korea. >> the west is always saying north korea has to dismantle their nuclear weapons program... north korea has to do this... ...and has to do that... what would it take? we were told the nuclear deterrent - as they call it - means the government can focus on other things, like development. >> we are building more fancy looking buildings on the river. a man who has made a success or achievement for the society - then he will be kind of a priority to go there. >> our guides brought us to one of these new buildings that we were told is for families of professors at kim il sung university. sin gyong-ju lives there with her daughter son in law and grandson. she was worried about the health of kim jong un who had not appeared in public for several weeks. >> you're going to cry too we're all crying >> then the conversation turned to the united states. she told us the americans provoke and threaten north korea regularly, but she is certain they will not attack - because th

their want to come to the united states because they want to send money back to my family. they are acting not as political refugees who want to change the government, they are acting as immigrants. that is the most terrible thing happening in cuba because the cuban people have lost loved for the island. especially the young people. >> briefly, if you could address that point. why should we have let the embargo work? >> that has never been my point. my point is that the embargo should be used to condition real change in cuba. nobody is defending -- first of all, we keep saying embargo that is not the same thing as 1960. the ideal that nothing has been done in cuba and all of this time -- idea that nothing has been done in cuba in all of that time is not true. the ambassador distributed 30,000 for wave radios. that is the -- shortwave radios. that is the strategy of radio free europe. those things are important but neither the cuban government nor the advocates for the government want to concede that. on the one hand, he says that it is just a south florida votes or whatever.

that the united states and europe have not stood idly by. we have made enormous efforts, enormous investments of dollars, of political capital, of diplomacy in trying to resolve the situation. i think the ukrainian people can feel confident that we have stood by them. people like vice president biden and secretary of state kerry have spent countless hours on this issue, as has angela and her team on the german side. and just because we have not yet gotten the outcome that we want, doesn't mean that this pressure is not over time making a difference. i think it's fair to say there are those inside of russia who recognize this has been a disastrous course for the russian economy. i think mr. putin -- situation is entirely resolved. we're going to have to keep on trying different things to see if we can get a better outcome. what i do know is that we will not be able to succeed unless we maintain the strong transatlantic solidarity that's been the hallmark of our national security throughout the last 70 years. and i'm confident that i've got a g

i am the executive director of the united states botanic garden. we are standing on union square, which is the end cap of the national mall on the east side just before you arrive at the united states capital. it is a fascinating piece of land because it has gone through many transformations in terms of what has been here over the course of the history of washington, d.c., since around 1800. it is important to the botanic garden because the first united states botanic garden was on this piece of land, even though today it is most notably associated with the reflecting pool and memorial to grant. what i would like to do today is present a little bit of the early history of the united states botanic garden, so a show a couple of the remaining trees that date back to the original botanic garden location, and also talk about the process by which the botanic garden came to be. it eventually moved across the street from where it is currently, and a little about the famous fountain that originally was placed here by congress and also made its way two block

>> the united states effort is against i.s.i.l. our efforts against assad are political diplomatic, economic and we have supported in various ways the moderate opposition, not only against i.s.i.l but we supported the moderate opposition in various ways to counterassad. but we are not at present in combat against assad and, indeed, we have prioritized both the fight against i.s.i.l and the efforts of some offshoots of al quaida, which are known as the khorasan group who are present in syria and directly plotting against the united states. >> charlie: and there have been military attacks against them. >> yes. >> charlie: you have said recently that we need not be alarmists over the threats opposed by i.s.i.l and even russia and ukraine. >> obviously, we're living in a world where there are a multiplicity of challenges and threats and they range from the threat posed by i.s.i.l and the metastasis of elements of al quaida to new revaunchist powers and ebola and even climate change over time. some are long-term, some immediate. there's

but because of the ordinance we can increase it to two this unit was in existence prior to 2013 we want to get this resolved in a way that keeps mrs. williams mother in a space downstairs and defer to the commission which way they prefer we go. >> commissioner walker. >> thank you. i think that at this junk you are which way you want to go. >> that's not our position your telling us which way to approach it. >> the leg shin process is interesting there's been a number of applications it's not been really a planning issue with those cases but planning recognizes if it's been in existence since 2013 what happens the building code getting the unit consist with the building code in many cases can be challenging for mr. phillips prospective the moratorium would be better it keeps the united in place like 20 years and again it's outline one existing unit just a kitchen was instead of in the basement level we'll stick with the moratorium and revisit that when the moratorium ends so that will be your preference. >> commissioner mar do you have a question.

soil either killing the united states -- the president of the united states perhaps plant a bomb on coneyand or also assassinate police officers or fbi agents. he was determined to carry out something on behalf of isis whether here or on syrian soil. we should also say that we now know -- we got new information just a few minutes ago that the fbi has sent out one of their joint intelligence bulletins, which is intended to give state and local law enforcement around the country the heads-up on these big cases. and in this intelligent bulletin they're basically telling officers around the country about this particular case, wolf. but they're also warning them and telling them to be vigilant for other similar type of suspects out there, not only people who might want to travel overseas but also who may be planning to carry out attacks here. >> i'll also bring in bob baer, cnn security and intelligence analyst. in this document that the justice department released bob, it says that two of these guys actually came to the attention of the fbi in the summer of 2014 after they started posting the

senator sanders is the junior united states senator from vermont. he's spent 16 years in the house of representatives, the longst-serving independent member of congress in american history. he's devoted his career to public service. the growing income gap and the shrinking american middle class. he's also been a strong advocate for rebuilding our nation's infrastructure and protecting our environment. he was also the mayor of burlington, and he is the ranking member of the senate budget committee and former chair of the senate committee on veterans affairs. and i just want to note that we sort of worry a lot these days about congress being able to do nothing. and i think it's worth noting that when two sides are willing to seek agreement and are willing to recognize the urgency of government action, you can actually have things happen. and very recently senate sanders, with senator mccain and others negotiated a very comprehensive bill to deal with the problems in the v.a. medical system. so when we have senator sanders and senator mccain working tog
