for the men of the team because they have to do their best and you can t help the people. it overwhelms you. so we had to work on them and we can t do anything for them. you had to ignore the injured people for that moment? exactly. our task is to find as soon as we find the terrorists, you can ask the fire department to take care of the people. but first you have to find and freeze the situation. so your team goes upstairs into the balcony. exactly. on the left side. where did you find the terrorists? in the last door. it was a door, an access to the backstage on the balcony. we approach to the door and suddenly one of the terrorists on the stage, we don t know, asks us to go backwards, so i try to speak with them. and he told me that i want to negotiate. so i said, okay, give me a phone number. a portion of the interview with the extraordinary captain, the brigade leader, the head of
exploit the program, could go from france to syria as 2,000 fi fighters have done, go back to france, use the visa waiver program and without scrutiny come into the united states. on the issue of refugee resettlement, democrats in the senate and many in the house believe that the u.s. has to have an open door if refugees are properly screened to come into the united states. republicans are saying that we need to have a pause button for this because when there was testimony from the fbi director and even to some degree the head of homeland security, they could not assure the congress that the vetting system is flawless. in fact, the fbi director said that there have been some problems. secretary johnson of homeland security said it s a thorough process. it takes 18 to 24 months. republicans joined by about three dozen, maybe four dozen democrats, said they want to see that put on pause. chances are the president, who

ago in charleville-mezieres, that s about 145 miles from paris, it s on the fren french/belgian boarden in eastern france. police went into the site using ex-pleasives, exploeding the door, using explosives to open the door, i should say, they re not telling us what they re looking for or what specifically this raid is about. they are conducting it under france s state of emergency which allows them to go into a lot of these suspect homes or places without getting a search warrant. all they would say is that this that they are looking for evidence of jihady networks or illegal weapons on a lot of raids and search, and that s about as much as we know about this raid along the french/belgian board. interesting it s that border, that was the last sighting not this specific town necessarily but that was the last place where salah abdeslam was spotted.
