BLITZER: The Obama White House is juggling at least six major crises around the world, probably more. Here's CNN's Tom Foreman.</s>TOM FOREMAN, CNN CORRESPONDENT: If you look at the map it's easy to see the government is dealing with a tremendous number of hot spots in the world. Let's start with Israel and Gaza. More than 1,000 people have died, mostly civilians, mostly Palestinians. And that fight continues to rage on. In Syria, next door, more than 150,000 have died in three years of civil war. Chemical weapons have been used by the government. And President Bashar al Assad, despite the calls for him to step down, still in firmly in power, just now into his third term. Over here in Iraq, the story is the terrorist group ISIS. 5,500 have died as it's tried to carve out an Islamic state from Iraq and Syria. 1.2 million driven from their homes. Over in Libya, the worst fighting since 2011. The U.S. embassy has been evacuated. Militias are battling the government. 97 people dead just in two weeks. And, of course, up here in Ukraine, where the jetliner was shot down in the eastern part of the country, the fighting rages on. 1100 or more dead. 100,000 driven from their homes. And, of course, on top of this, yes, Iran remains a constant worry. And North Korea just recently threatened to nuke the White House over its disagreements. So if you want to say the world is a challenge, the world is a mess right now, it absolutely is.</s>BLITZER: Tom Foreman, thanks. That's it for me. The news continues next on</s>CNN.
