in the united states about 14% of all contaminating waste water and it is about half a billion per year, gets treated and reused. which are old wells that perhaps big salt domes and just dumps basically. deep deep in the ground, with a lot of safeguards. your program, just did an entire show, in fact, on fracking, what were some of the issues that came up in terms of this waste water being put back into the ground? so one of the big issues that is being raced with the disposal of these large quantities of water that result from the fracking process, is that when those fluids get injected as rigs mentioned, deep into these disposal wells there have been instances are there's a suspicion they are calling small sale earthquakes but in places that don't necessarily have seismic activity, so we cover add story in northern texas, in a small town, two small towns that since november of last year, has been experiencing a huge swarm of earthquakes in an area where they didn't have them before, and the community really suspects that that has something to do with the disposal of the fracking water

. >>> there is debate in the united states about getting immunized against measles, parents are not scared of the vaccines that vaccines have wiped out. >> they didn't know that 48,000 would be hospitalized and 500 would die every year. we have frankly eliminated the disease since 2000. that's what i mean by the vaccine being the victim of its own success. >> mary snow joins us. it's remarkable it's resurge ent. there are a small number of people who don't want their kids vaccinated on religious grounds. >> it is largely a loophole because this religious exemption exists in 48 states. the only two states not to have them are mississippi and west virginia and in some cases all it takes is a parent to write a statement saying, it's against my religious belief. >> what are some other reasons request you cannot have your child vaccinated? >> the flifl flifl philosophical exemption. okay. who is most at risk? >> there are people who have legitimate medical exemptions from vaccines, they may be allergic and their immune systems may be compromised. children and adults. but if you think about it b

texas state historical association say texas has the eighth largest muslim population in the united states, aboutple. the family of an unarmed man shot dead earlier this week by police in washington state has filed a $25 million wrongful death lawsuit against the city of pasco. this, as the county coroner ordered an inquest into the shooting, which was captured on video by a motorist. the police say the man who was killed had been throwing rocks at them and refused to stop when they tried to arrest him. the incident led to protests in the city about 215 miles southeast of seattle. and the united states could be in for what nasa is describing as the worst drought in a thousand years, what it calls a“ mega-drought.” the nasa study warns that if greenhouse gas emissions continue to increase, it's likely the southwest and central plains will see a drought starting as early as 2050 and that could last decades. a drought that, it warns, will produce water shortages far worse than the current drought. >> stewart: american and afghan commandos have sharply intensified raids against al qaeda after killing

part of dealing with that is getting theis authorization and showing that the united states is serious about attacking the islamic state. to answer your question specifically what i think they will do is maintain his promise to not send troops back. they will want an authorization they give them the flexibility to continue airstrikes, and possibly the flexibility to do more going forward. i think what you will see is something that is fairly limited to what is actually already taking place now. pretty much focused on airstrikes. host: (202) 748-8000 that is online for democrats. (202) 748-8001 four republicans. as congress debates military action on isis, we want to be your thoughts, comments, and questions on that. let me tell you about another topic, angela merkel's meeting on isis. what do you expect tomorrow? guest: tomorrow i think it will be another meeting related to war. it will be the war on ukraine. the coalition, or the western allies of the united states and europe have until now been on the same page about how to handle president putin of russia. a have imposed some very serious

so that's how it is in most countries and, in the united states, what is extraordinary about the united states, is a recent ruling to the effect that state and local police don't have a right to ask for those papers. i find that to be very problematic. >> check out my screen, this is the aclu, they gave a map the government 100-mile border zone, it is all around north south, even the coastal area they are saying about 197 million people live within coastal boards and we have on youtube, you can type in border patrol, and check out all these videos that people have uploaded and we asked our community, if this is necessary, saying it is annoying but useful, the refusersic have a point, unfortunately, it is a blurry one. and another one, being stopped is one thing, being searched is another, many of these cars end up being searched that's when it becomes unconstitutional. now, james, you are from the aclu, is the fourth amendment a santa claus for civil lib beforeties attorneys like you? what is your take? is there a gray area? is this constitutional, and the border patrol have license to

about in the united states. themve debates about without their participation, we have discussions about what they are thinking without actually hearing what they are thinking. we have constant reports about who we are killing and how many people we are killing without ever stopping and thinking about who those people are or whether they have done anything that warranted that violence. so much so it was recently revealed a couple months ago by the new york times the obama administration has adopted a new definition of militants, which says that any military aged male and a strike zone, meaning any male who dies above the age of 16 or below the age of 55, is automatically deemed a militant without knowing anything else about them. this is how we have come to think about muslims, to the extent we think about them all, they die at the hands of our violence justifiably because even when we don't know anything about them, we assume they are militants or terrorists. this has been so indoctrinated for so many years in th

essential for the united states and i'm a big proponent of it. >> sir, you are a republican in a democratic state. san diego a republican mayor. there is always this discussion in washington abouttisanship or a lack thereof. what can washington learn about how you deal with your democratic counterparts on the city council in san diego? >> most of the issues we are on there is no place for partisanship. we are making sure that we hire police officers in san diego. that is not a republican or democrat issue. that is a common sense issue. let's work together. we will be able to find common sense solutions. i think that is what the people of san diego want and what most of the country wants as well. >> sir, you mentioned infrastructure. back to the federal government -- does this country need and infrastructure bank? the shovel ready jobs the white house always talked about to put americans back to work. there are some any roads and bridges. are we talking about stuff that could go on for five or 10 years? >> yes. when you look at our roads and bridges, they have not been repaired in basically decades. it is also a civil issue. 50% of all new revenue growth in san diego i am going

united states? what does he think about the united states? is he at all interested in the united states? we begin to ask ourselves. many times in this particular arrangement where the kremlin invites people over to listen and asking questions. and so we have some degree of contact with them. one of the few women in the group gets to sit beside him perhaps perhaps she can comment about what that's like. reflecting on that and in thinking about all of the reading that we have been doing about him over many years is really striking. striking. there is no interest whatsoever and no sense of awareness of fascination or otherwise with the united states. that is very different than soviet leaders. you think back to chris jeff and how he wanted to come to the american heartland iowa, visit corn farmers and so forth. yeltsin had a similar sort of interest in the united states. other russian soviet politicians, even this generation. not prudent. he fancies himself an expert on germany. he is not an expert on germany according to germans have talked to him. but that is because he really doesn't sho

the snow depth across a large area of the northern tier of the united states. aboutarea we have about 12 inches to 24 inches of snowfall on the ground at this moment. stretching out of chicago, detroit, eventually all the way north of new york city on into boston where we have tremendous snowfall. 30 to 60 centimeters if you're in tune with the metric scale. look at this minus 25 to minus 35 windchills across interior new england. that's why i think the snowfall on the ground not going anywhere any time soon. there's the last few frames you see the snow showers exit the picture. 10 fahrenheit in boston. it is down to 13 in new york city. and the winds howling across this region. the windchills about 5 in new york. what it feels like is minus 7 around boston. of course, it has been a historic last seven to ten days around boston. average, but 44 inches of snowfall in any given year. tremendous amount. about 110 centimeters. 40 inches is what has come down. a record in a seven-day period. in the past ten days 47 inches has come down exceeding what you would see in an e

population that believes isis would never exist if the united states hadn't toppled saddam hussein's regime and upset with the united states about that and have been for years. there's a large population here that's palestinian by origin. they see the united states and israel as one. they see jordan having sided with those two in treaty signings in the past. so a lot of confusion and complications about what to believe and who to trust. but this brutal murder lighting a human being on fire seems to have united them at least for the time being around we must do something. we'll see if the king can figure out what to do and how quickly. >> now king abdullah in jordan seems to be doubling down on participation in terms of the coalition. at the same time the united arab emirates they have now halted their air strikes against isis. they seem to be pulling back in maybe fear of retribution or retaliation. >> interesting that we learned about that today when actually along with in the course of this reporting we found out that actually the uae, united arab emirates had stopped their participation in the air strikes way back in december

kayla can rest surrounded by those who love her. >> and there is so much anger here in the united states about kayla mueller's death. u.s. president barack obama has vowed to bring the terrorist responsible for mueller's death to justice. >> after her death was confirmed, mr. obama told buzz feed about a risky operation he ordered to try to free the aid workers, the other isis hostages. >> my immediate reaction is heartbreak. i have been in touch with kayla's family. she was an outstanding young woman, had a great spirit. i think that spirit will live on. the more people who learn about her, the more they appreciate her and how it stands in contrast with the barbaric organization that held her captive. but i don't think it's accurate to say that the united states government has. done everything that we could. we devoted enormous resources and always devoted enormous resources to frame captives or hostages anywhere in the world. and i deployed an entire operation at significant risk to rescue to the only her, but the other individuals that had been held and probably missed them by a day or two,

if we see what "the new york times" was reporting about some of those tensions on a military level between the united arab emirates and the united states about operational component of these strikes, you get a sense of what isis is trying to exploit, widen that rift a little bit. isis is trying to make it costly for arab governments that stand with the united states by trying to tap into that resentment. one of the things you saw in the video of the burning of that jordanian pilot is why were they going to syria. they know that resentment exists there. they know their people really do make those questions and they tap into that when they try to exploit it for their own propaganda value. >> a senior u.s. military official with knowledge of the targets in raqqah attacked by the jordanians say targets in and around that area that were struck were carefully vetted and scrutinized. there was no indications in advance that any hostages were located at those facilities. >> when aircraft are dropping bombs, bombs are not surgical instruments. the targets that were attacked here outside of raqqah were the housing compounds and bases of isis mil

[laughter] thank you very much. meanwhile, did any of you see this story on chris christie? it essentially says stick a fork in it. more than a year ahead all of this money has gone elsewhere. are you kidding me you get sick you can't breathe through your nose... ddenly... you're a mouthbreather. well, put on a breathe right strip and instantly open your nose up to 38% more than cold medicines alone so you can breathe and sleep shut your mouth and sleep right. breathe right. do you want to know how hard it can be to breathe with copd? it can feel like this. copd includes chronic bronchitis and emphysema. spiriva is a once-daily inhaled copd maintenance treatment that helps open my airways for a full 24 hours. spiriva helps me breathe easier. spiriva respimat does not replace rescue inhalers for sudden symptoms. tell your doctor if you have ki

this, if you will, schism between the united arab emirates and the united states about this particular issue of search-and-rescue resources, perhaps is just a cover, if you will, for a broader debate that the united arab emirates is trying to engage in. >> it's hard to say we need to be doing more, therefore, we're going to do nothing. united arab emirates, they were the country that came out before the united states even asked and they volunteered to say, we will fight, we will go there. they were in on proportionately high number of the early strikes. they have a well-funded air force. they've been seen as a country we didn't have to ask to come along. >> they made very clear early on, on our air, the ambassador in d.c., saying this is our fight. it's not just america's fight, this was a fight for the uae. and without these countries, two things happen. and as you mentioned, again, tactically, it's not going to change the coalition from a military strategic point of view. but the optics of it would be disastrous. if the coalition begins to fray and fall apart, it is going to be seen

but first, the president of these united states gave a speech about the economy in the motor city -- the next president of these united states give a speech about the economy in the motor city. john, how did jeb bush do? >> he did all right. not great. >> the prompter. >> it was a piece of symbolism going to detroit the inner area, talking about mobility being more inclusive. that's a good place to start. >> the last few presidents gave speeches that would wow the crowd. he was very loose during the q&a. i still say the strength of the messages it can be given during the general election. it takes a lot of guts to run for your party from nomination and say exactly what you would they if you were the nominee. he did that. >> he talked about immigration. he did not use the words common core, but he talked about education standards. he clearly said, i am not going to give an inch of those things. >> and once again, rand paul put out his previous policy positions and welcomes the debate. i think mr. bush did himself a lot of good today because he showed who he is and that it is the key --

the war against isis and syria are this. 92% of the air strikes have been conducted by the united states. about 8% by arab nations. when you hear numbers like that, is it a coalition? >> it is but not in the complexity you want to have with the various members. clearly the united states takes the lead and willing to risk its young men and women on missions like this in order to accomplish the task the president has laid out for and we signed up for. we have to drag along our partners our coalition partners to step up. they sign up but not willing to do the heavy lifting. we have signed up for an intergenerational fight where the united states will do 90% of it. this will take over 20 years. we're going to have to accept it. it's the new normal. we've taukds aboutlked about that. the real notion is real. it's accurate. >> is there any hope to rescue the american woman? there's a 26-year-old american woman being held by isis still tonight. is there hope to rescue here? >> there's always going to be hope just based on every one on our side. from the intelligence to the operators to the people that

harnden talking about about his book "dead men risen" which has just been released in the united states. about a unit traveling through afghanistan in 2009, a welsh unit that saw quite a bit of combat. topia was hoping off the top he could explain about the title of the book. it's a very striking title. >> guest: "dead men risen" is a statement and a poem. it's not a very famous poem but a company commander killed in action in june 2009 is mother had sent him out a collection of first world war i poems that he sees the misphrased dead men risen because his company was an amalgam of bits of other companies so all these men thrown together and builds and started calling them started saying you are dead men risen and he was referring to the type of battalion the number nine company. that company since the end of the second world war said he was trying to say you are a reincarnation of these men from the second world war. you are their descendents. you are dead men risen and this was a way of unifying them but it also became a sort of a theme of the book really because the three main characters li

do do you understand that and why he would like to address the lawmakers in the united states about that>> let me say the president of the united states is absolutely committed to having a nonnuclear weaponized iran. has said it over and of again. and the idea that the prime minister minister without an agreement being on the table, even seeing what those negotiations are finally going to result in if they do -- and let's remember the president himself said a bad deal is worse than no deal. we're not going to agree to anything that would -- let me say one thing. trust is not part of this agreement. it's about strict inspections. it's about verifiable looks at what iran is doing all the way. >> congresswoman, let me show you some images just into us at cnn. this is prime minister netanyahu before he takes this trip to washington visiting the western wall. this comes as this statement is released. i think it's interesting that he released this statement and he said, i respect u.s. president barack obama. what do you make of this statement that he released? he didn't have to do that right?

states what does he think about the united states? is he at all interested in the united states? we began at that point to ask ourselves, as fiona says, we have met him many times in this particular arrangement where the kremlin invites people over to listen to putin and ask him questions. and so we have some degree of contact with him. fiona, being one of the few women in the group gets to sit beside him, and perhaps she can comment about what that's like. but one thing in reflecting on that and then thinking about all of the reading that we've been doing about him over many years it's really striking. there's no interest whatsoever and no sense of -- [inaudible] and other russian soviet politicians did even of this generation. but not putin. as fiona said, he fancies himself an expert on germany. he is not an expert on germany according to -- [inaudible] but that's because he really doesn't show very much in any aspect of how societies work or how systems work though he does as fiona pointed out study very closely the russian mind i

we do have are people that don't go out and voice their opinion about violence against the united states, about wanting to join isis. >> it's interesting because i have people on social media that contact me, send me messages where i press a button and it translates from arabic. and i can actually read. there are thousands and thousands of communications that have been sent to me on twitter facebook and other social media that i have read that are beyond disturbing. do you think we really have a handle on this? >> we do. we could always have a better handle at it. the internet and communications are just growing exponentially year in and year out. the government is doing a great job of doing this just in this case. we have not had a suck eszful attack on u.s. soil in such a long time. that being said the numbers are telling. isis is extremely good at recruiting people. they recruit an average of about 50 people a day. and it's just that statistically a matter of how many of these attacks could be prevented before one actually happens. >> so they first came to the attention of law enforcement wh

i think about the trauma, the everyday trauma that folks are experiencing not only of just living in ferguson and st. louis but constantly of a trauma of being a black person in the united states. and having this spectacle that we've moved forward on race relations and police brutality when we really haven't. >> you talk about rising to the occasion. in some ways you've rejected leaders when we've had this conversation that you don't need big leaders in order to continue this fight. but in some ways the torch has been passed to a new generation and you're that generation. what can you do differently that some of the past leaders have not done? >> i think a lot of the issues that people have on past leaders is their focus on themselves and their inclusivity. this is like an inclusive movement everyone here has a voice which can become problematic, at the same time you need to have leaders. there is a semantic issue to it too right? there's leaders and some people think, the person in charge, handing down orders. those are the people who have listened to the people and who are now creating what needs to happen with their input and that's what we're looking at. >> you both came i

the united states has conducted a crash training course. they're currently about iraqi soldiers undergoing that course. 2,000 have already graduated. but going a into mosul, a city of almost 2 million people, some of the inhabitants who were hostile to the iraqi army before it was driven out, is going to be difficult and kurdish commanders we've spoken to, for instance have said even in small village where is they've managed to drive isis out, isis has left behind dozen and in some towns hundreds of ieds that's made it almost impossible for the original inhabitants to move out. when you're talking about driving isis out of a city like mosul it's going to be a gar gaj want task. ben wedeman, cnn, irbil. >> joining me now are jack kingston former republican congressman from georgia, and don buyer, current congressman from virginia and former ambassador to switzerland. thanks for joining us. an interesting discussion we've been having throughout the day. congressman kingston should the u.s. military have announced this the way they did, the timetable, the plan going

i think that what this is going to do is harden feelings in europe and the united states about russia because, in fact nemtsov of well known in western european capitals well known in washington. he spoke very good english. he had been around for a long time. this was not an obscure figure. this of somebody that people out of russia knew. and when they see this happening in such a cold-blooded calculated way in the dead of night, in the shadow of the kremlin, it will reinforce a sense of animosity or distance in the move between russia and the rest of the world. i don't think it helps russia in the sense of patching thing up with what's going on. it may have the opposite effect. >> the white house condemned what it calls the brutal murder of boris nemtsov. president obama is calling on the russian government to conduct a prompt impartial, and transparent investigation of the murder and ensure those responsible are brought to justice. mr. obama also said he admired nemtsov's courageous dedication to the struggle against corruption in russia. u.s. senator john mccain of more blunt sayin
