happening now is the most alarming, the most clear wake-up call for countries like the united states or continents like europe to get involved in supporting an arab coalition to fighting i.s.i.s. >> for more we go to douglas olivavant. just returned from from a trip to iraq. let's start with the comments from general dempsey that there is no doubt american forces will drive i.s.i.l. out of tikrit. which one is it? >> well i think the united states has been perhaps caught off guard by how well the iraqis have been able to assemble these forces. general dempsey is certainly right in his formulation. this is a numerical possibility here all around tikrit we think there are only between 1 and 2,000 i.s.i.l. fighters, it is not a question of when, it's just a question of what price the iraqi government and militia forces pay to push i.s.i.l. out of here whether this is relatively bloodless or whether they really pay a high price but the outcome is not in doubt. >> as you know probably better than almost nebraska, urban warfare, are you confident they are able to kick i.s.i.l. out of mosul, mosul is the

happening now is the most alarming, the most clear wake-up call for countries like the united states or continents like europe to get involved in supporting an arab coalition to fighting i.s.i.s. this is not in any way a representation of islam. this argument has already been discussed. the arab world as you can see as -- >> fadi led me ask you. you mentioned the united states and europe. but you denied why not? >> this is why. because the arab is country have already formed a coalition. okay? today i think president sisi has called for an arab nato like force to be assembled to fight i.s.i.s. so the will on the arab side exists. this is the first time by the way you find a arab sunni coalition to go into where i.s.i.s. is and fight them head on without worrying to battle the masses. when i.s.i.s. tburnd jordanian pilot -- burned the jordanian pilot you have never seen the jordanian population come together and agree unanimously that i.s.i.s. should be annihilated. this is no no way a representation of islam. on facebook i put a simple question, do you think i.s.i.s. represents islam yes and no, a

i'm concerned we're going to run out of crude oil storage, land based in the united states especially in the mid-continentn texas and when we run out of crude oil storage, we really plummet the front end of crude oil. the forward prices could stay relatively stable, but the headline may read, you know, we've got $30 oil in the united states and i think that, again, going to have a fairly big impact on consumer sentiment which is positive but going to have an impact on the fed. it's hard to raise interest rates potentially when you see deflationary oil prices. >> nasdaq 5,000. important psychological number? was it the people who sold on that day are they geniuses? >> i don't know if they are or not. today they look smarter than not but who knows what they will look like tomorrow. it's a number. people like big round numbers in the world. 5,000, it's a relevant number because last time 15 years ago when the nasdaq really rallied up, it was a number where we stalled out and we retrenched for 15 years. we're back up there. it's an interesting number. the composition of the companies in the nasdaq and the mul

oh countries continents to help with the ebola outbreak, how can we in the united states actually benefit from cuban doctors? what is unique about cuban doctors is they have a completely different approach. only a small percentage actually specialize. they have this unique way of going into neighborhoods where the doctor nurse, team the doctors are assigned a couple of stir blocks about 1,000 people, and they have a responsibility for making house calls. or home visiting. so it is very -- there's a sense of community engangment, which we don't have in the states. and what is amazing about this, is that spending less than 10% for person. they spend really very small amount per person, they have better infant mortality statistics. and they live just as long as we do. >> michelle, how do we know if that really translates. because you are talking about a population of about 12 million people, which is maybe a third larger than the city of new york, you are talking about a communist regime you are talking about ultimate control, if you say kids will get vaccinated by god they will get vaccinat

united states. we were going to go across the continent in time. 1783, the war came to an end and suddenly there were 17 of england's 32 colonies that were no longer british. the people had very strong prejudices against people and other colonies. indeed, the man who drafted the united states constitution and owned the south bronx, his father's will provided any amount of money necessary to educate him anywhere in the world except for the colony of connecticut, where the people hide behind god, but are really abolitionist criminals. he did not use the word criminals, but it was that kind of prejudice. you can imagine the attitude that new englanders had towards southerners and southerners had toward new england. what held the united states together after 1783? it was very fragile, believe me. a national debt. $25 million. a common language. and the pride in having defeated the strongest military, and especially naval, power in the world. well, from where was congress going to govern this country? we had a constitution. it was called the articles of confederation. it may be states supreme over the fed

but winter is still gripping parts of the united states and freezing rain will be troublesome for people traveling across the eastern half of the con continent. sagging cold front and the moisture pulling in from the gulf of mexico is making it freezing rain covering much of texas into the deep south and mid-atlantic. the ground level is quite cold so the freezing temperatures are actually making the rain turn to freezing rain before it hits the ground and the icy road conditions making for treacherous road conditions. to the north of that still cold air mass is covering much of these areas so the winter precipitation will still be piling up as much as 30 centimeters in the darker shaded area. we're looking at the snow on thursday in new york and washington, d.c. but for the time being, the precipitation is rain, and denver looking at some snow again in the forecast minus 7 degrees of the white stuff will be piling up. los angeles as i mentioned, 21 degrees with plenty of sunshine today. now across here into europe a potent storm is still creating some unstable conditions across the mid section and the british isles as well. this cold front

that is trying to dismember a democracy, a member of the united nations, a sovereign state on the continentf europe. it's not acceptable. i will hope that the european union collectively would respond very robustly, really hitting the economy of russia, but were that not possible, then of course we shu look at other avenues as well. obviously, looking at the swift banking issues is a -- it's a big decision, but there is a logic for it, which is if russia is going to leave the rules-based system of the 21st century, then russia is going to have to start thinking about whether it's going to be in the 21st century when it comes to investment, banking, clearinghouses, when it comes to the other things that make our world work. you can't take one part -- leave one part of the world, the u.n. charter and not destabilize sovereign states and expect to be treated properly by the other parts of the world. there's a logic in what you say. >> the ukrainians have also suggested that the only way of maintaining this cease-fire is the deployment of some kind of international peacekeeping forces, both alo
