for a second term. and there are reports that there are a number of officials making announcements as well. and hillary clinton's last day as secretary of state, and she said she is ready for some rest after logging almost a million miles in the air. editors at the wall street journal say there are hackers in china, and they were trying to find out how the wall street journals was covering stories in china. and newspapers say they have now beefed up their cyber security. we are also watching the markets, your money, as well. the dow hit 14000. it's the first time that the dow has reached 14000 since 2007. alison kosik is at the new york stock exchange. tell us how it happened. >> it's the jobs number that was pretty strong. it showed january's job reports, 157,000 jobs were added to the economy, but the way wall street sees it, it came in soft. wall street is looking at it at a more broader view, and they are looking at the momentum from november and december, and you are seeing a stronger trend continue, so that's good news obviously. but then again there has been an underlying optimism already in the market, and that's being fueled by the federal reserve. and that's buying up mortgage backed treasury and securities, and that's driving interest rates lower so the best game in town as far as investors see it to make money is here in the stock market, and it's driving investors to the stock market. and what moved the needle, it was the jobs number, and how the next milestone for the dow will be the all-time high, and first we will see if it can hold at 14000 at the close, and then we will see what happens. >> how much confidence do we have in this rally? >> some say not much, and others say stocks are making a comeback and the economy is doing that as well. one well known economist talks about this, and here is what he had to say. >> i think this pret indicates an improvement, and it's a signal that at least investors in the market believe that the economy is going to grow at a decent rate this year, and certainly it doesn't mean we are anywhere back to where we were in 2007. >> and then, of course, there are the bears of the market, the more skeptical, and this rally that we are looking at is a correction waiting to happen, and economic growth was in the negative in the final quarter of last year, and the fed, the fed keeps pumping up the numbers here when you see stocks, and many people believe they want to see if stocks can stand on their own once the fed stops pouring phupb into the economy. >> all right. alison, thank you. in turkey, a suicide bombing at the u.s. embassy. broken glass, ambulances, gaping hole in the outside wall of the embassy compound, the bomber took one person with him, a turkish security guard in the last, and we will go live to i have -- ivan watson. >> reporter: this is a turkish citizen, and now the man they believe is a man namedtionly, and he was a man of a group that translates to the revolutionary peoples' liberation party front. there's video of him from 1997 when he was arrested and convicted for attacking a turkish police. there has been a long history of leftist groups carrying out violent attacks particularly against turkish security forces, and this particular group, the turkish police arrested scores of their members last month and on top of that these groups tend to have an anti-american ideology as well, and there's anger within the leftist circles in turkey about the deployment of 400 patriot soldiers and missiles to help protect america's close ally turkey from the missile attacks from neighboring syria, all possible motives behind the deadly bombing on the u.s. embassy. >> was the u.s. embassy the target of the bombing? >> it looks like it. there's no question the main bunker, the gates that the visitors had to go through bore the brunt the blast, and the security guard was killed and he was a turkish citizen and another woman wounded and the u.s. ambassador stepped out with the governor and had this to say. take a listen. >> right now we are all dealing with our sadness at the loss of our fellow member of our embassy, and we salute his bravery, and his service to turkey and turkish-american friendship and our hearts go out to his family. >> reporter: suzanne, this is not the first time the u.s. diplomatic mission has been attacked. in 2008 gunmen attacked the con s -- con sue hrut. >> thank you very much. we are also following a nearby lebanon story, and officials are talking about flights that come two days after an israeli air strike inside syria. >> reporter: it's not unusual here, but reports of an air strike by israel inside syria, and they believe the battered regime may be trying to move weaponry away from the rebels. and syria has its own version of events. they blamed israel for an air strike outside of damascus. an adviser to former prime minister sharon says this. >> this is part of the whole system built in syria to support the development and the operations of weapons of mass destruction which include long-range missiles, and it's a strategic balance. >> reporter: u.s. sources says israel only struck once and targeted a convoy, and questions remain as to who was responsibility for hitting the facility and killing two people inside. analysts say no matter where the strike was, it was a clear message to syria. >> whether israel made the strike or somebody else, i think it was a wake-up call, a warning signal -- a wake-up call to the world and a warning signal to the syrians and all the groups who are now trying to seize those weapons that this issue is not going to go without a response. >> reporter: the syrian government summed the head of the u.n., and according to a semiofficial iranian news agency the deputy foreign minister says israel's attack will have dire consequences on tel aviv, and that's raising the temperature aross the region. >> sarah, joining us live. first of all, israel being threatened by syria and iran. how serious are they taking the threats? >> reporter: anytime they receive a threat it is taken serious and heightens concerns around the country. analysts say they are not sure right now looking at the situation inside syria for example if that regime can do anything but try to protect itself, and when it comes to iran that's a different matter, and again they are dealing with heavy sanctions and they have their own problem and whether or not these threats will turn into actions is a whole different matter and they are waiting to see what will happen, and we know today today we were hearing from the lebanese that they did see more israeli planes over lebanon. >> we appreciate it. on cnn.com you can join the conversation with anderson cooper and sanjay gupta, and they are having an online about guns, and it's about gun violence in america. so please join in now at cnn.com. here is more of what we are working on for this hour of "news room international," and we are looking at china, where a truck load of fireworks explodes and blows out a bridge. later, the fab four like you have never seen before. a treasure trove of unseen beatles images like never before. oil changes at meineke are always a great deal. then you're going to love this. right now they're only $14.95! wow-a grt deal just got a whole lot better. hurry. $14.95 won't last. in china rescue mission is underway after a truck carrying fireworks exploded and it happened on a highway bridge. the blast was so powerful part of the bridge collapsed sending dozens of cars plunging to the ground 100 feet down. eight people were killed at least and 18 others hurt. and in france, french forces have been battling islamist militants there for three weeks. tomorrow hollande will meet with ma llan. those troops have been able to push the extremist. in the uk, there will not be charges filed to the prank call to the hospital from duchess, kate middleton. two talk show hosts called the hospital as a joke. days later the nurse that tookle call committed suicide, and prosecutors say there's no evidence to charge the hosts with manslaughter. and they formed their own neighborhood watch. they are not looking for criminals but looking for people that are breaking sharia law on drinking. >> a hard-line vigilante group is trying to impose sharia law on members of the public. it's not just drinkers being targeted. >> you are gay. >> and women wearing skirts above the knee are also being harass harassed. only a handful of men are involved in the patrols and five have been arrested on suspicious on harassment. we have talked to others that have not been picked up by police. they do share many of the same hard-line beliefs as those arrested. >> alcohol is causing so many problems, and it causes crime and it causes people miss behaving. >> would you condemn the more intimidating roles? >> i am not here to condemn anybody's action, and i am just here to say this is's a problem. >> reporter: those doing the patrols are reveling in the media spotlight, and those involved, that group is very small. most people here in this area want nothing to do with the srepb vigilant vigilantes. >> it has done a huge amount of damage to the community, and it will no doubt increase islamic phobia. >> reporter: patrols have been stepped up as authorities have taken a hard line. >> we will not accept such behavio behavior. >> reporter: another so-called patrol stands outside a polling station vowing to stop the participation. in spain, hard line groups have angered locals by depending pet dogs abandon from neighborhood, and several dogs have been poisoned. they warned their communities need to integrate better into society to stop extremism. in a speech one said we have been treating our communities like foreign embassieembassies, too long cultural sensitivities have often led our leaders to become morally blind. but there is evidence that the lack of integration is partly because in many cities across europe white people are moving away from ethnically mixed neighborhoods. >> you can get a change that is quite dramatic in the character of an area, and here in london between 2001 and 2011, one-third of the white population has left. >> reporter: enormous demographic changes resulting in profound challenges like the so-called muslim patrols which the communities themselves are now trying to tackle. cnn, london. we have live pictures here, breaking news happening out of cairo. this is actually taking place now. these pictures, these are the streets and they are erupting now, we understand, with water cannons and tear-gas, and this is outside the presidential palace, as the scene there is turning violent. we will have a live report out of cairo after this break. .... director's voice: cut it! ...what...what did i say?
