Barbara, the US has chosen not to raise its terrorist threat level even though the UK raised theirs today. Does this means that there is a difference between the kind of threat the UK faces verses the kind of threat the US does? We know it appears that     it does right now. The British government is a very direct threat to the safety of the British people. They say five hundred or so Britains have travelled to this complex zone may have come back there in Britain sees it as much more direct Europe much more closer transportation in and out of Europe and much closer to people in … can move around very easily. There are summer surges in places of course, but the warriors is not enough, so they are taking the steps. The US, officials will tell you they do not see a direct threat to the homeland. At this point, they don’t think that’s what … has on its mind, but they do have concerns that there is the long-wolf scenario out there. There are about a hundred Americans said to have travelled to Syria and Iraq to fight there with the military groups. Maybe about a dozen or so that have joined up with the … They will be checked every closely by the US alarm foremen. A lot of concern they could return home, that they could conduct law photograph officer, but right now no specific information were told. 

 

That’s right, and … is an organization but Islamic extremism is an ideology. It doesn’t necessarily have to come from a different country. We are going into a huge travel weekend of course with the Labor Day weekend. Does that mean that officials have even more heightened concerns than they normally would? 

 

Well, it’s interesting, Labor Day weekend, of course   very rapidly, this country comes up on all the 911 anniversary. This is the time of a year when the forceman    and counter-terrorism officials will tell you there is always a heightened state of concern and alert because of these two events. So many Americans on the move travelling by air, by road across the country visiting family, visiting friends, going on that last summer vocation, so there is a lot of awareness, but as we stand here tonight,    officials say again, they have no specific information about any plot for a homeland attack, Jack 

 

All right, Barbara, start have a great weekend. Thank you so much. CNN international correspondent … joins me alive from London with more on the .. threat levels there in the UK. .. good to see you, The UK threat level as you know has been raised to server which is defined as quoted an attack is highly likely. Is there intelligence that there is a specific threat against the UK? 

 

Well, Jack. This is the highest threat level as there has been in Britain for more than three years now. When we are talking to the Prime Minister David Cameron today, we are asking precisely that. But he said that he had no specific intelligence to suggest any attack within … He is basically raising the threaten level along with the security agencies on the bases that more than 500 Britains may be now fighting war … with ..   groups in Syria and Iraq and any of those could return to Britain anytime to create.. but that of course isn’t a new threat we’ve long known that Britain in Syria, in Iraq even before that out in Afghanistan and then when Mr. Cameron went on to describe how this gonna come back what is called poisonous ideology, he said it could be a generational …back.. could take years or even decades, Jack.
