maybe in lebanon and jordan? what about the sort of knock-on effect or mimic effect in places like parts of egypt and sinai and yemen, in algeria, tunisia, morocco, i don't know where. we have become so focused on iraq and to a lesser extent syria or kobani at least, rightfully. that i think we're assuming that these other areas can be held in limbo pretty much and that the threat can be held at bay. it's holding for a moment in lebanon because the hariri camp and hezbollah and others have come to understand that they need each other, and they have to be wary about undermining each other any further because they're all going to lose in that game. in jordan it's a strong state. there are competent institutions, but there's a massive underclass that sees the islamic state as representing everything they resent -- they are representing a radical response or challenge to everything they resent about those money, the affluent, the ones driving bmws and mercedes around western ayman. these kinds of dynamics are ongoing

it's more on lebanon. this is the feeling when you look at the lebanese political or security stand, what we can say is the following. the first point or the first striking and the hot spots we are having today, they are on the border between lebanon and syria, they have in fact left with what is happening on the border. the first that has begun in 2012 or 2013 was the city and the famous battle that put in confrontation with the army and the group that was led by mohamed at that moment. here is probably someone who is more linked also to and the the second hot spot which is today very flaring up is the tripoli and northern lebanon. they are largely predating before the syrian revolution. tripoli for instance is a city where you have and you have other forces like the lebanese army after that. since this period, if you remember it traces back to the fact that for instance, the plo and yasser arafat took refuge in the city and there were fights between and this is the art going from and it was set up until

in 2012 he moved to lebanon and founded a small a group. he was kidnapped the following year while delivering supplies in eastern syria. after 12 months in captivity, he was murdered. islamic state released a video of the execution style slaying. footage is believed to show another extremist to has joined. these images were released online, but can't -- the convert reportedly joined last year. >> our intelligence services have analyze your video and are attempting to establish a highly probable scenario that a french citizen may have directly participated in committing these horrible crimes. >> french authorities believe that a second frenchman that appears in the video, a man from wales told british authorities that he leave his son was among the militants. the man has since recounted that claim. >> the islamic state is operating at will in parts of neighboring lebanon. increasingly they are taking captives for ransom, selling them off in the region's growing slave markets. a correspondent in beirut met with some of the relatives and sent

with lebanon, probably one set of the population today is refugees. and the impact in the economy and the society. i was in the village with a lebanese and syrians and jobs go up cares and prices and poor people leaving much worse conditions. it's important from the international community support. and without the support, the space for syrians will be at risk. >> the air strikes against the islamic states in syria and iraq, are they worsening the refugee crisis in the region? >> the evidence is the air strikes, if localized, and mostly in areas that are not heavily populated. there is a very important impact because of that. >> you're here in washington meeting u.s. officials, what are you asking for? >> i think there are two key aspects. first is humanitarian support. second is to look into the neighboring countries and especially to jordan and lebanon and turkey and of course pakistan and iraq that is also struggling enormously number of large displaced iraqis inside and to do everything possible to find a political solution for the nflict because

i think lebanon reached the point where really it felt saturated. it has got the highest ratio of any country in the world of refugees to the local population. and they just got to the point i think where they had to say that's enough, i've got friends, personal friends that i've known for decades, liberal people, charitable people who are saying we've become refugees in our own country. it has to stop. so that is the feeling that lice behind the government's step to close the borders. registration of refugees now has dropped dramatically, down by something like 85%, 90% from what it was just a couple of months ago. so yes, lebanon is closing its doors. people -- a few hardship cases are still being allowed in. it is a pretty porous border, but anybody coming across now is going to be illegal, they're going to have problems with their papers. they may even have problems going back, if they have children here, for example. but for the time being, lebanon is doing what it can to close the doors and say we're trying to cope with what we've got. we just

in lebanon, in the 1980s, there were something like 30 odd suicide bombing attacks. seven of them only were committed by muse limits, three by christians, and the rest were by secularists and socialist coming in from syria. and the main motive, robert pape, says for a suicide action, is when your homeland, the country you perceive as your homeland, has been invaded or occupied by a superior military power or empire, in lebanon, the united states, and israel, too. and that has also inspired suicide bombing for a while in hamas. again, if you look at the hamas videos, the young martyrs to be are -- the cometail we -- cocktail we have seen without, form a prayer they're going to meet allah, the lord of the world, into a pure secularist nationalist ideal from liberation, the leg operation of palestine, then the third world ideologies, claiming they're going to be a beacon of hope for all the oppressed people suffering under western imperialism, and then back to the liberation of palestine, back to islam, again, that cocktail. one of -- >> host: let's talk about isis, bec
