especially important now for the united states and the western allies to partner with tunisia to say you've been a great example of what's worked in north africa and the middle east and we are going to help you through this time. >> all right. who is winning? isis or everybody else? >> well, look, ifers -- sis sis is definitely on the march. >> maybe it ought to be a time we ought to think what we are redoing? >> yeah. >> how many people do we have to see slaughtered and cover face up with automatic weapons and armed with cameras. >> how many more countries are going to have to fall prey to isis terror attacks. when is it god forbid going to the united states and other places? they have been basically swallowing up a country a month. we have got to stop the momentum of isis military cia, everything like that. and involves advisors on the ground. anybody looking to join isis this is probably going to take your life so put that into your calculations. >> i would like to hear from president obama from the oval office. we have gone to the point where the nation needs to know what are we doing? we can't look the other way. look at during world war

africa said, stop. that is a major compromise for us. because some of these western nations have this devilish notion that there is something wrong with racial discrimination. and they have this obsession with human rights. the fact that we are willing to go that far is it really major compromise for us. the u.s. said, that is not quite what we had in mind. what happened after that was that the u.n. created this ad hoc committee on southwest africa. in order to try to get the information in. south africa refused to submit information. so, you are going to get what i call one of the major showdowns at the u.n. meeting in 19 d1. -- in 1951. in that meaning, -- meeting channing tobias, a member of the u.s. delegation to the u.n., had said to his state department handlers, you can count on me to be a team player and play the team game. but there are some areas where my conscience will take over. the state department had a mantra that they said to folks going into south africa. that was, hank your conscience on a peg. that is the way you can really enjoy south africa. tob

africa operating around the largest city in northeast nigeria where boko haram was created. and that has been the epicenter of some of this activity. and speaking to a senior officer and a senior westernfficial saying that the bulk of the fighting is being done by these mercenaries who come in at night, very heavy weapons, bringing their weapons in from outside of the region and perhaps doing it themselves nigeria recaptured a 40 towns and villages from boko haram just in the last few weeks. the senior government officials, the military says that these people are here but they are only training and it's a more holistic effort that is defeating boko haram, which is not only efforts by neighbors like chad and niger, their militaries are fighting along the border with the knowledge of nigeria, as well as weapons and more political will in the words of one senior official that has come just a few weeks before the elections. >> i was talking to somebody about an hour ago in our studio who suggested that perhaps one of the reasons nigeria had these mercenaries in the northeast was to prevent those countries like chad and niger, to prevent them from becoming well established inside of nigeri

westerners who can communicate that message effectively. i think that's what makes isis different. >> thank you very much evan. >>> i want to take you back to north africa tunesia. we are getting more information on the attack that happened at a museum there. according to the information we now have the tunesia premier says 19 people killed in this attack at the tunis museum including 17 foreign tourists. these are some of the images coming out of tunesia where the attack took place. people running to safety. right now 19 people according to officials out of tunesia, killed in this attack. the tunesia media reports two gunmen are dead. our reporter on the scene indicated that authorities are looking for other individuals who may be tied to this. no organization no group claimed responsibility so far for the attack. but again, these are some of the images coming out. many people there, many victims believed to have been foreign tourists at this point. the building where it happened has been secured, but the search continues for any individuals who were connected to this. right now, two gunmen reportedly killed and now we learned 19 people killed in that

you as a westerner you could maybe drop in and drop out but it's not a safe city. even with french forces in place, sub-saharan africa sort of a no-go area. >> chris, what do you think, outside of a common philosophy of terror and the use of these videos as propaganda what do isis and boko haram give one another? was boko haram saying we're not getting all the attention so we're joining you? >> absolutely. back in september, boko haram declared itself an emirate, like forget isis we're an emirate here in africa and nobody paid the least bit of attention. now we're all focused on it because it's pledging allegiance, its leadership is pledge eight lee jans to the emir baghdadi and because isis is such a hot topic, boko haram is a hot top pick once again. you should also know there are 30 other groups around the world from the philippines to afghanistan to egypt that have pledged allegiance to isis since last year. motor city most of them we never heard of, but it is a global movement now. >> why is isis sort of winning being the brand name, if you will of this terror movement? >> several reasons. first of all because p

western passports. it's a well financed organization and presents a real threat i think. you have al quaeda organizations in syria and still the al quaeda organization in south asia. you have organizations in north africa. and you have because of social media and technology you have the ability to radicalize individual small groups around the world. this is a new phase in the terror threat and one that will be with us for a long time. >> very briefly for us general. >> nuclear iran is not in the same level as those other threats. [applause]. >> and and on the second all these organizations which use, exploit the no man's land areas, for sure the biggest -- organizations which held 1,000 rockets and missiles is hezbollah was used by iran. this is the threat to israel. >> and you get a sense of what those two or three hour dinners were like. >> unfortunately we don't have that but we got a good sense from both of you right now. i want to thank you both and of course we'll be watching those negotiations very closely. tom yaakov, thank you. >> thank you very much. [applause] >>> my religious friends say how could you work in hollywood and my hollywood friends say how can you be religious. i grew up on long

western industry depends on the fuel from this region. so the destabilization of yemen and the dangers it spills over into other gulf countries, across into eastern africaemen, peter, is that aqap they made no secret they want to use that as a base to launch terror strikes against the united states. >> which they have done unsuccessfully on at least two significant occasions, christmas day bomber who tried to blow up the detroit flight the plane over detroit on christmas day 2009, also a plot to blow up u.s. cargo planes to the united states. i mean they are still trying to do this. they haven't changed that. by the way, they have -- trained people in syria. they are propagating bomb making skills. >> how worried are you about the half a billion dollars worth of u.s. military hardware left behind for the yemen government but there is no government. there is terrorists ruling the country. >> it's concerning. the types of equipment that was left behind helicopters, about 160 humvees, 200 m-4 weapons, a lot of ammunition. it's not that significant from a military standpoint. it is in terms of whose hands it falls in. this is concerning. but it's part of do

aligned with al qaeda, but they are seen more as a western terrorist group and isis seen as the real deal, create the islamic state to spread throughout africas a nation state, which al qaeda could not do. >> exactly. you're watching this ideology, a movement spread across the world. that's not alarmism or whipping people up into a frenzied affair affair. that is real. that is happening right now. they control massive parts of iraq, syria, in gaza, support in egypt. when the first opinion polling comes out in the middle east and ordinary people's attitudes on isis you'll see unfortunately huge support for them. >> recruitment and radicalizing happens online by isis, and now boco haram appears to be becoming a lot more slick at their social media presence as well. what's the danger of that? they are starting to use more and more videos that are terrible and show things very similar to what isis propaganda uses, the fast beating heart, heavy reathing, things that invoke more fear and somehow radicalize in some cases, westerners. >> who is won over by beheading videos? that tells you something troubling about the appeal of the group, normally g
