very difficult situation. it s not like you can just fly an airliner in there and take off these civilians not a big surprise that the u.s. government is being cautious in going to take these people out. well, there is virtually no government running yemen right now. you have got all terrorists who have taken over the country. taking over the nation and different factions of terrorists. is there i mean, every day i capability figure out how can t figure out who it can get worse every day but is it. it is, greta. houthi rebels which are shia rebels backed by iran in syria. and then you have the coalition bombing the country. you can imagine the americans still in this country not only seeing armed men on streets but also suffering from air strikes. it seems like the situation is getting worse. doesn t seem to be any sort of movement now in the international community toward any sort of political
a relic. president making sure even though the u.s. has differences, if you will, with how things have been done in cuba in the past and may be done in the future, it doesn t mean greta, that they cannot work together. that will be the central theme that we expect the president to hammer home tomorrow as we look forward to his remarks once again here in panama. greta? kevin does raoul castro have the same sort of feeling back to the president? i mean, what s the cuban leadership thought? people looking in particular tonight at the body language. i get the sense is and from all my investigation and people i have talked to, not just on the administration side. you know that i lived in miami in south florida with a hot bed of cuban american activity, political strength and power and my many phone calls over the last several days i have gotten the sense that there is a real push from the castro side of things that they really do want to make history but they are going to be very
country descended in absolute chaos most dangerous place on earth. these americans are begging for help. demanding help. they have filed a lawsuit against the u.s. government accusing the obama administration of not taking any substantive steps to bring these stranded americans home. rebecca coward is live in the middle east. what is the story of getting these americans out? well i think, greta, like you said, there is 41 americans stranded in yemen who are asking the u.s. government to take them out of country. they have filed this lawsuit through an arab american organization and they are saying to the u.s. take us out. and these are just the americans that we know of, of course, that are part of this lawsuit. there is definitely more americans in the country. it seems like and you can imagine, greta, if you were there yourself as you said the country is descending into chaos and of course these people want to get out. this is everything from, you know children totaled derly and th
department making a statement today in greater depth than, this one of the things that they pointed out for 15 years they have been warning americans don t go to yemen. and as fact as recently april 3rd there was a travel advisory don t go to yemen. it s no surprise that some americans didn t heed that judgment. they are now trapped there. now, the question is there any way to get them out of there? i mean the city, the biggest city has dissolved into chaos. do you have any idea? are these americans actually directly threatened? i think that the point you are making, greta, very difficult to get them out is not like go and book a flight out of yemen. so we had last week in indian air airline going and taking out a number of indian nationals as well as a number of other foreign nationals which i understand include americans. but extremely difficult right now to operate in yemen there are some evacuate civilians.
lt. colonel alan west joins us. good evening, sir. good good evening, greta. the idea a car bomb ready to go fort reilly. the fbi all over this guy but another very bad sign. yeah, you are absolutely right. i find it very ironic that on the day when we were awarding some 47 purple hearts to the victims of the jihadists terrorist attack at fort hood we have the uncovering of this terrorist plot at fort reilly. and i was stationed at fort reilly back in the late 1980s and early 1990s with the first infantry division before i went to fort storm and also stationed at fort hood. what we have to come to realize again and i know you are going to say i m a broken record but we do have a domestic jihadist problem here in the united states of america. we had several young ladies that were picked up in brooklyn and also in philadelphia this week. we had two individuals that had connections to the illinois army national guard that were picked up last week. so we have got to focus on
