jim clancy is there for the results. what was turnout there like, and who won? >> reporter: erin, a record vote here. election officials say 62% or 8.5 million voters turned out to cast their ballots. some surprised, too. it appears some very hard line islamic politicians are going to be members of parliament. they want their races outright. we're still waiting to see the full details, election officials say they've been working nonstop to get those. but with 8.5 million voters casting ballots, election officials say this hasn't been seen since the time of the pharaos. >>> now martin savage is in baghdad. how long did it take them to clear out, and what's the next step in the full drawdown? >> well, erin, this drawdown has been going on for six weeks. as far as what happened today. that took only a matter of hours. just that few u.s. forces were there. the kin to closing on a house, essentially, according to one officer. then they left. what comes next? there are still 11,000 forces in iraq, not to mention tons of gear that all continues to flow south well ahead

jim clancy, cnn. >> joining me now, cnn global affairs analyst, and kimberly dozier, cnn analyst and contributor. there was no doubt the woman who took the video could have very easily been killed. she risked her life to do that. >> yes, absolutely, yesterday we heard about a woman, an ngo woman from iraq who was essentially executed in another iraqi city, mosul that isis also holds. so they have no problem executing women. women have been jailed, tortured, raped. so this woman was taking enormous risk. >> i mean, kimberly, it is similar to me when the taliban took over afghanistan, the laws in place, not having music. women having completely to cover themselves, in the video she is told by a guy in a car that she is not covered enough. that her veil is a little bit transparent, she says. >> and you have to remember this is the same kind of regime that exists in some countries like saudi arabia where you can be bothered if your veil is not in the right place. and also, the people being filmed are probably mostly sunni muslims. they were not doing well under the mostly assad regime. s

jim clancy is, jerusalem. >> some of those chemical weapons could end up in the hands of hezbollah. israel very, very involved in keeping an eye on those, as well. >> the obama administration is going to have to account and answer questions. we're waiting for today's white house briefing expected any moment now. >> they're late again. >> it usually slips a little. that is typical. we expect -- there they are, jay carney to the podium. let's listen in. >> good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen. thank you for being here at the white house for your daily briefing. before i take your questions, i just wanted to note as many of i 0 p you know, earlier today in honor of the 12th anniversary of the september 11th attacks, the president, first lady, vice president and dr. biden led white house staff in ob verring a moment of silence on the south lawn. throughout the day, the president, first lady, vice president, dr. biden and members of the cabinet will be participating in a number of memorial events here in d.c., also in virginia and new york, pennsylvania, and other states. as you know, th

. >> i want to go to jim clancy. israel understandably nervous. not sure what the united states is going to do at this point and a critical u.s. ally. what's next? >> reporter: the disappointment here in israel was real. many saw u.s. president who backed away from his own red lines who was indecisive at a key moment who not only possess chemical weaponings but employed them against their own people. government officials who were warned in advance by the white house of this were quick to point out that going to congress, part of the american democracy, trying to smooth things over, but the decision last week by the british parliament ruling out any response to syria's chemical case was seen as a bad omen. uncertain over whether any u.s. action would go ahead. the army said it's staying on alert. nearly half of israelis think they will be a likely target from syria or one of its allies. when ever that strike were to take place. >> thanks. keeping our eyes around the world and reaction to what's taking place. >> indeed. there's a lot of people wonde

. >> our jim clancy is in jerusalem. we have heard from u.s. officials that deny that the united states was involved. >> reporter: well, that's partially correct. israel fired one of its new silver sparrow target missiles along about a 1500 kilometer track. it all happened this morning after 9:00 a.m. that rang alarm bells at the russian monitoring station at the black sea. this whole region anticipating a u.s. missile strike on syria. got everybody's attention. we talked with the former head of israel's missile defense program. he told cnn it was a single missile and launched from an israeli aircraft. he said the timing has nothing to do with the current tensions in the region. he said the u.s. missile defense representatives were present at the control center and watched the launch. he said there were no u.s. military assets involved in any of this. syria and its allies have directly threatened israel. he added and i've confirmed this that israel rarely notifies the region in advance. it was a reminder of what israeli officials have been sayi

jim clancy, cnn, jerusalem. >> syria's crisis has the whole region on edge. some people are concerned a possible u.s. strike on syria may trigger retaliation from other countries.spective on thi from my panel, now. nick paton walsh is here. you have covered this conflict from the start. how does obama's speech today change things for nations near syria? >> it gives them a little bit more time, potentially. there is a missile strike, certainly injects a huge am of uncertainty as to whether or not this will, in fact, happen. if it doesn't happen, that is an enormous impact on the region because it gives license to assad to do this again and, perhaps, suggests the u.s. is checked out as a kind of policeman to that particular part of the world. you should bear in mind about how awful it's already been for the syrians. this war began, as many syrian children have died, soldiers lost in afghanistan and iraq put together. the world is going to cover this for 30 more years. going to impact the u.s., our allies. at some point the u.s. was going to get drawn in. is thi

a bit we'll speak with cnn's jim clancy. he's getting the latest on funeral arrangements and how this is affecting the markets. >>> a huge welcome home for 4,000 national guard troops. the brigade from north carolina spent ten months serving in baghdad. >> it's different over there. they don't have very much. i'm thankful for what i have now. >> very difficult. you miss your family and the people around you driving you crazy. >> it was a great experience. i wouldn't trade it for anything. i'm glad to be back home.

joining us live from warsaw now, my old friend, cnn's jim clancy. jim, what is the latest with this really unbelievable story? >> well, the nation of poland still grieves, no doubt about that, tom. but i want to get you briefed. as you say, some of these latest developments that we have. word from the crash scene is that maria kaczynski, her remains have been positively identified and will be turned over to authorities in the morning. at some point after that, they will fly back to warsaw, where she will lie in a casket alongside the former president. the public is going to be able to go in there tomorrow at some point to pay their personal respects to the president, and his wife. no timing on that yet. but we do know now that the state funeral for both the president and the first lady will come on saturday. but keep in mind, tom, you've got 20 lawmakers, you have military heads, you have so many other people, the funerals could go on for some time here in warsaw. back to you. >> jim, one of the things that has been raised is this question of what i

cnn's jim clancy is following developments in warsaw today. jim? >> reporter: the grief continues as you noted, drew, but there's a sense of recognition, a recognition that some of the people who helped -- who influenced and shaped the postcommunist state of poland are now gone forever. and that was weighing heavily on them today. they're still in their thousands coming here to the presidential palace behind me, laying wreaths of flowers, bringing out candles to light in the chill wind that continues to blow here. the flags at half-staff. people filing past the casket now of maria and lech kaczynski, the president of poland and his wife, both about age 60. people filing past single line -- single file after perhaps waiting four, six hours or more in order to get in there to genuflect, to make the sign of a cross in this deeply catholic country. put on their minds, as i noted, it's beginning to weigh in really that this loss is permanent, that these people are never coming back. let's listen to what they had to say -- >> i was extremely devastated.

jim clancy has that report? >> now that north korea's missile test has failed, some analysts think an underground nuclear test is more likely. >> relations between the united states and north korea in particular are going to get worse. the u.s. is not going to get food aid, north korea says you broke the agreement, we're going to do something about it. one of the things they have done in the past is detonate a nuclear weapon after a missile test. this is entirely possible now and more probably. >> reporter: earlier this week south korean intelligence released images it says the north is digging a new tunnel at a known nuclear test site. north korea conducted two nuclear tests underground in two tunnels here in 2006 and 2009. both of those tests came within weeks after north korea experienced embarrassing satellite launch failures. seoul says the photo shows what appears to be a third tunnel under construction. according to an intelligence report, one tunnel shown in this inset as fresh mounds of earth and sand p

i want to go straight to jim clancy joining me from beirut. who is fighting in the video we just looked at and is that fighting directly related to all the fighting we have been witnessing in syria? >> reporter: in a word, yes. directly related because you have two neighborhoods. our correspondent bureau chief here and cnn cameraman were up in tripoli today. they literally ran into this fighting as it erupted once again. this has happened before. inside you're looking at one syrian neighborhood-excuse me one, sunni muslim neighborhood where many are fighting on the side of the free syrian army. there are refugees from cities who are now living in that neighborhood in tripoli. on the other side of the street named syria's street is another neighborhood. a neighborhood of muslims who support president bashar al-assad. they post posters of him on their homes on that street. at least four people reported killed. 40 wounds. they tried to take army personnel up there speeding up there at the street. trying to put a lid on awe of this. they pulled ba

cnn's jim clancy has the latest for us. jim? >> reporter: it was one of the bloodiest days in what has been a week that has been marked by triple-digit death tolls death tolls each and every day. the regime of president ba shir al assad was clearly under attack. the regime's fighter jets pounded the city dropping bombs on the free syrian army as well as civilians. tanks were seen moving in on the outskirts of that city expected to go on the attack as well as civilians scurried for shelter. anes in tee international issued a report charging the regime with targeting its own civilians in an act that could be construed to be a war crime. >> in the ten days i spent there, i looked at case after case of families, people who were killed in their homes, out when they were buying food, especially when they were queueing up to buy bread, and people were even killed in the very places where they had gone for safety. people had fled their homes and were staying with friends and family or were staying in schools, those places too came under

jim clancy joining me now. kofi anan resigning yesterday. what does it do? does it really do anything and is the u.n. mission totally in jeopardy in syria? >> in a word, it does nothing. i only use that word nothing because there isn't another word in the english language that means anything less. you talk about the mission. it would appear by the middle of august we may be losing that whole observer force. it's mandate play not be renewed. there's a lack of cohesion. you have one set of country that don't want to see any regime change. even the resolution was watered down. they had to water it down. they had to withdraw wording that would have called for the resignation of bashar al-assad. what we have here is complete collapse of diplomacy. people are looking on. they are very frustrated. they want to do something. it will have absolutely no affect on what's happening on the ground. what's happening on the ground can be pretty frightening today. >> what are the politics and why did they even pursue this if it means nothing? >> they wanted to pursue it beca

let's get some background from jim clancy who has been talking about this actually going on for what -- 20 years? >> well, this group started out even further back in history inside of iran, marxist, lennonist wanted to overthrow the shaw h of iran and includin attacks against american, and they are on the official u.s. list of terrorist organizations. but curiously, these guys say that all of the information that the cia missed and the massaud missed came from them. but time has come plpletely swe these people away. there were 4,000 of them that were allowed to live in a camp by saddam hussein and he used them to fight the iranians and he even used them against the iraqi curds in their own country. they are not well liked. now this new military government as they were sheltering in iraq, today, nuri al maliki the prime minister was sheltering in iran, and the iranians wans to get rid of the guys, so the iraqi government is showing the independence from the u.s. and he wants to move them out of the cam top a place that is like a creamatoria that you saw on the "chronicles of riddic."

jim clancy and ben wedeman. ben, first to you, because, you know, i think two years ago there you were, we were talking about the protest toppling hosni mubarak. flash forward two years, thousands of people furious with the current president. what do they want? >> reporter: i think really it is a fundamental split between his opponents and his followers. they're divided over the specific constitution that was pushed through by mohamed morsi, written up and approved by more or less members of -- supporters of his political party, the freedom and justice party. and most of these people you're seeing now, they don't see really a political resolution to this crisis. they want to see mohamed morsi out of power, they want to see the muslim brotherhood of which he's a member pushed out of power. they feel that it is an organization that has an 80-year history of operating in the shadows with a secret agenda. here in cairo, in alexandria, the cities along the suez canal and cities in the delta as well, we're seeing larg

i'm joined by my colleague jim clancy from our sister network cnn international. we want to get to the breaking news out of egypt. these are very significant events taking place. very possible that president hosni mubarak may step down, and he may step down as early as today, and as isha just reported, we heard from the cia chief leon panetta telling a congressional panel in washington that, in fact, there's a strong likelihood that he would step down. you know, suzanne, a lot of this goes to your beat, the white house and what is happening, and i think when you see a u.s. official like leon panetta making a comment like this, it reflects the discussion that has been taking place. we have known that secretary of state hillary clinton and defense secretary gates both favored stability and showing respect for hosni mubarak, but you had vice president biden and others pushing and pushing very hard to back those protesters in the streets. >> it has been a very delicate balancing act when you look at it, because even within the administration itself, the obama administ

jim clancy is here, my colleague. jim clancy has looked into the military's role in egypt and what might transpire if and when they take over more deliberately politically in egypt. >> is it really a takeover? egyptian military is big, half a million men, half a million in reserve. it is strong. it's involved in things like road building and other activities. it protects some of the resorts in egypt, that tourists visit. it is popular. it's a con description army. every family feels they have a part of it. but all of those things don't matter so much as the history of egypt's military since 1952 when it is takened a coup four presidents have come from the military. hosni mubarak who has served for almost 20 years was the former commander of the air force. they are absolutely, if there is a military handover of power to the military, they are going to be in the driver's seat. they are going to dictate what kind of democracy egyptians will have, what kind of real change comes out of all of these things that we have witn

cnn's jim clancy takes a look at how "made in the usa" gets in the way of profits. >> reporter: we're advised that no matter where you're doing business around the globe, the factory floor is in china. as outsourcing and relocations continue a pace, europe and the u.s. are losing jobs. >> we have a huge opportunity at this moment to bring manufacturing back. my message to business leaders is simple. ask yourselves what you can do to bring jobs back to your country. >> reporter: apple's late founder, steve jobs, met with president obama last year and put it bluntly. american manufacturing jobs are not coming back. workplace wisdom. when it comes to profits, patriotism cannot compete. corporations contend it's not all about profits, either. experts say the u.s. doesn't train enough people for mid-level jobs, those between a high school diploma and a college degree. many manufacturers have concluded that asian workers, supply chains and assembly lines are faster and better. u.s. labor organizations counter the chinese government is funding the infrastructure and exploiting its workers to

unlike jolie's character, the syrian sniper -- i want to bring in jim clancy to talk about that. we love that movie. >> we like the movie. but this is the real thing. >> this is a real thing. and she is pretty tough woman. >> they have given her a nickname. she is called the female sniper. you could look at her background and everything else. but you know what, this woman represents more than anything else. she is a mother, 36 years old. her 7-year-old son and 10-year-old daughter were killed, when their home was demolished in an aerial bomb strike. she is furious at the regime. she's taken sides with the opposition fighters. she divorced her husband. she left him, first husband because she said he wasn't revolutionary enough. the second one said he didn't want her fighting, the second one is a commander. she said i'll leave you, too. so he trained her as a sniper. and she says she hints that she's been involved in four or five kills. she says it takes hours to sit there and do it. it's a bit of a shocking story. it draws a lot of attention. she's famous all over aleppo, this is

i want to get over to jim clancy. we are getting so much information in, jim, it's important to get what we can out there. >> all of it comes through here. we try to coordinate the live shots from the field, and trying to bring in new video. heidi, you are so right. it's all about what aid can get in and how quickly. let me show you what u.s. aid workers coming in this day, usaid, they were coming into the airport in haiti. this came in about half an hour ago showing these people on the ground. obviously an advanced team that will be assessing the situation and telling what they can do to help, where the u.s. should put their resources. this arrival came at a time when we heard the u.n. is putting in millions of dollars, the world bank putting in $100 million, and britain and australia, and everybody is trying to send something in. this is a former french colony, of course. the french, also on the ground with needed teams. this is new video that came in the last hour or so. port-au-prince, the airport there. one of th

jim clancy has been talking about this all morning long. jim, where do we stand on that? it's such a delicate balance in the week of this. >> you have that right. people are talking about frustration, and building barricades with human bodies. security fears are increasing. you heard from chris lawrence earlier, and he was down here at the airport talking about the situation there. i want to show you some of the latest video we have of u.s. troops coming in. i am being told the troops will not be deployed into the city until -- well, perhaps monday, this is what we are hearing from the white house right now. they may prove critical because the fact of the matter is, the police in port-au-prince have abandoned their post largely. it's believed many of them returned to try and help their own loved ones and family members who may have been victims in this earthquake. we heard earlier from one lieutenant. >> we are working in conjunction with the u.n. forces. we are cognizant of the increasing concerns about security. up to this point, we have not seen a great deal of insecur

for more on this we go to jim clancy. so many moving parts and details from the story today. what do we know? >> a lot more questions than answers. i kwish there were good news, but it's an uncertain situation. the press service is telling us the two britains, a kenyan from a french man have been freed in this algerian operation. an irishman is freed. talk to his parents. other than that the details are sketchy. what appears to have happened here is that the man in charge of operation and the gunman on the ground attempted to move their hostages. they didn't want to be caught in the oil facility, that gas facility. they tried to move the hostages to the south and they were in a convoy they e trying to get out and there widespread reports that the hostages have been killed. i don't want to raise or dash hopes. >> back to the leader, his nickname is mr. marlboro affiliated for al qaeda. >> he's a smuggler and he fought as a teenager in afghanistan against the soviets. he received al qaeda training there. he returned then to the sahara region. he has intermarried into the tribe

jim clancy, thank you once again today. now to the confession that really the world has stopped to watch here. lance armstrong, calling himself arrogant, calling himself a bully and a jerk as he finally admitted he had taken banned substances before all seven of his tour de france wins. so for 13 years armstrong has been looking smack dab into that camera and into the eyes of his prosecutors, his critics, his own teammates, fans, cancer survivors, and lying. here's a reminder. >> everybody wants to know what i'm on. what am i on? i'm on my bike. >> regardless of whether or not people accuse lance armstrong of doing something, regardless of whether or not they're questioning the relationship with a doctor, we have to look at the facts. we have to. >> the questions have continued. the suspicion has continued. but the only other thing that has really continued and i think is the most alarming thing is the performance. i've not gone away. the cynics, the skeptics, i'm sorry for you. i'm sorry you can't dream big. and i'm sorry

i'm here along jim clancy. it's now 8:00 p.m. in egyptian, tw

i want to bring in -- shadi, this is jim clancy. i want to bring in jamie rubin. what do you think the likelihood here is of the risk that they may step in to take over the reins of power? >> you have to remember, the egyptian military is hosni mubarak's military. he came from of all the senior officers. they are loyal to him. that's the difference between egypt and tunisia to the extent one makes a comparison. i do think it's possible that the military position could evolve. you can see the purpose of these protestors making these efforts to make friends with the military is the ultimate question here, whether soldiers on the ground are going to turn their weapons against the protestors and the egyptian people. nobody knows the answer to that question. hosni mubarak is wondering about it right now as well. and that will determine how this peaceful protest or this protest, whether it becomes a revolution to overthrow mubarak, or whether it is merely a piece of unrest that is eventually quelled. i don't think we'll know that until a large number of protestors gathe

i'm jim clancy. we'll leave you with some live pictures of the scene in cairo. it would appear things have calmed down, but as ben wedeman has said, it's calmed down because the government has retreated from the streets. fires still burn. [ male announcer ] if you've had a heart attack caused by a completely blocked artery, another heart attack could be lurking, waiting to strike. a heart attack that's caused by a clot, one that could be fatal. but plavix helps save lives. plavix, taken with other heart medicines, goes beyond what other heart medicines do alone, to provide greater protection against heart attack or stroke and even death by helping to keep blood platelets from sticking together and forming dangerous clots. ask your doctor if plavix is right for you. protection that helps save lives. certain genetic factors and some medicines, such as prilosec, reduce the effect of plavix leaving you at greater risk for heart attack and stroke. your doctor may use genetic tests to determine treatment. don't stop taking plavix without talking to your doctor as your

>> straight ahead. >> jim clancy, thank you so much. amazing seeing the different celebrities coming forward. >> he's big one, a great one. they don't know who he is but they love him. >> we know who he is and also know who matt dillon is. he is going to be coming on this show tomorrow, matt dillon has been working with this international refugee agency to help situation in sudan as well and be joining me tomorrow, right here in the cnn newsroom. don't miss that. >>> switching gears, michael jackson's last doctor is in the hot seat. new testimony today about the singer's final moments. we are live in los angeles for you. >>> plus, it is one of thes technology junkies wait for every single year, we are getting this cool inside look at the brand new electronics on the scene, they are lining up right now. reporter roulette is next. that uses the sun's energy to help ventilate the car. so i thought, what if we used the same technology that helps ventilate the inside of the car to ventilate medical tents after natural disasters. i don't know

jim clancy, our veteran journalist who covers these things all around the world, let me ask you this, you have the opposition, very, very vocal. this has been a crisis in leadership. does the crisis deepen or does the opposition go along with the supreme court's decision today? >> they don't have much choice really. it is a huge fight inside the parliament, and they were saying you're violating the constitutions, the opposition, and the supporters of chavez started shouting his name, shouted them down. had a woman who serves on the supreme court saying it's fine, we can go ahead with this. they'll have a huge chavez rally attended by the presidents of uruguay and bolivia and everybody. they have a chavez rally instead of the inauguration tomorrow. >> i was asking paula newton, asking her in caracas reporting on this last hour, has anybody heard from hugo chavez in cuba. she said, no, not a peep out of him for an entire month which tells her he's very sick, four cancer surgeries. is it time to think of a post hugo chavez venezuela. >> they're already thinking about it. this was a movem

jim, clancy walk on in here. this is our veteran journalist. i think it's important to explain the significance. you have syria, neighbors to the north being turkey, lebanon, israel and iraq. iran and syria are buddies. they hate the united states. >> promotes a state within a state. famously precipitating that 2006 war with israel that led to devastating results inside lebanon. still a question as to will iran allow assad to fall. will he ask hezballah to move in. >> if hezballah comes in, does that give nato justification to come in? >> no. right now this is shaping up not to be the military fight but it's still a political fight. it's a political fight right now for momentum. you've got to ask yourself what are the rebels doing up in aleppo. they just got punished in damascus. why are they trying to hold a major city like this? >> how are they able to? how are they able to so far? ivan was talking about how the government troops haven't been able to run re-enforcements. they don't have what the regime has. >> the rebels may be thinking just

cnn international anchor jim clancy is here. how long have you been reporting on russia? >> since before the collapse of kmunism in the mid 1980s. this was fascinating -- >> tell me why. you said that when you walked up here. >> clearly they've made progress here. you talk about reducing the nuclear arsenals of the two country that's hold 95% of all nuclear weapons in the world. reducing them 30%. that's an accomplishment. you talk about the missile defense shield that's been a sticking point. there's an accomplishment there. not as clear but i think president obama is signaling very clearly to his russian counterpart, we're reassess, let's see if it works and we'll sit down and talk to you about all of this. that's what moscow wants, somebody to come to the kremlin and ring the doorbell before you set things up all around mother russia, if you will. cooperation on iran, cooperation on north korea, cooperation on nuclear proliferation. these are issues vitally important to the united states and all of this is preliminary. all of this is the framework, so to speak. >> so h
