rhetorical support to saying, yes, he will go against all tof the terrorists including eyes is, but actually most of the strikes have been directed at the free syrian army and the other jihadis in there who have western support rather than isis, itself. we believe it is part of putin s str strategy is to eliminate the non-isis resistance to bashar al assad and pose it to the world, takes a sa assad or isis, and t whole strategy has been to unify people gaiagainst isis, and so are at loggerheads with putin and this assassination of the russian spy is not going to change it. and what do you feel about the imminent decision of the uk and germany to bolster their involvement in the war against isis in syria, and how much of a difference will that make?
i think it is useful to have more allies in this fight. i think it is useful to strike at isis when we can find the appropriate targets, and they make a difference on the battlefield. so i think that it is good. i don t think it is that it is decisive decisive, but the stronger the coalition, the more the people who pitch in and help the greater the likelihood that these countries will do the other things that they have to do like cutting off reinforcement supplies or travel by people affiliated or wanting to aftfiliate with people wantig to affiliate with isis. and this is the supreme nato commander and a position that you once held, and let s listen to this. as you know, the campaign is focused on a discrete set of targets, and the more that we can generate the targets, and as you have heard, some of these aircraft that are being provided or possibly provided are reconnaissance aircraft and those coupled with what you have
university, washington, d.c., a survey says that the support has been unprecedented level of 56 arrests in this year alone up from 15 arrests in 2014. let s bring in our pentagon correspondent barbara starr and max foster outside of westminster. and two years ago, max, mps rejected the strikes against syrian government force, and what is different this time? well, paris. the paris attacks, and that is what has changed and since the paris attacks the brits have felt more vulnerable to attacks themselves and the poll is showing that 50% of brits are now in support of the air strikes against isis in syria. david cameron has long wanted to take a vote to parliament, but he feels that the time is right, and 10 1/2 hour debate set up for him to convince parliament of that. to be fair, he knows that he would get it through or otherwise he would not take it to parliament in the first
returning now no the breaking news. isis is claiming that it has executed an alleged russian spy, and sending a message to the russian president vladimir putin vowing that you will not find peace in your homes. take a look at the tighter shot of the picture for the first time where we are seeing the uncovered face of an isis executioner just before he beheads this alleged russian spy. we will look at what is going on with ed royce of california, and he is the chair of the house foreign affairs committee, and thank youer for joining us. what is your reaction to this latest eight-minute isis video showing the beheading of someone they say is a russian spy, and say it is a strong warning to putin, and among other things,
promises that he can t keep? there are thousands of people, as you know, from all over the world that are attracted to the radical philosophy of isis and to this notion that you re going to start bombing families, bombing communities. well, let me just say this to mr. trump, you ve got european countries, many of our arab allies, and of course perhaps here domestically. i don t know if that was a statement that was intended to be a play on our strategy to defeat isil, but clearly donald trump is trying to feed into this traer tiff again that he has a plan as a strong leader. but he correctly identifies problems, right? he has correctly identified what a lot of democrats have said, the isis strategy from obama is not working. he has correctly identified we have a problem with illegal immigration in this country. he identifies the problems correctly but then offers up completely ineffective, ridiculous, unenforceable, offensive solutions to these problems, and his supporters
