4:03 pm

4:05 pm
clarification at this point thomas. people that are missing unaccounted for so to speak. the unaccounted for people, those have been people they can't account for. they do not have any power, they obviously can't charge cell phones so no one knows exactly where they may be. it does not mean they are missing or fatalities. it just means they have not been able to reach relatives or relatives haven't been able to get hold of them. we can only pray that that number will come down over the next 24 hours, 48 hours. >> the scene behind you tells the story. jim, thank you. the rain that fell through the night d did nothing to help -- did nothing that helped those impacted. jalelah. give us the story. along colorado springs area, also for folks traveling right around denver you can hear the rain falling on jim's umbrella.

4:08 pm
the egregious use of chemical weapons by the assad regime against innocent men women and children, all indiscriminately murdered in the dead of night. we have said in no uncertain terms that this should never happen again. >> u.n. inspectors should be on the ground in november. during that month they will complete their initial assessment. all filling of chemical weapons is to be destroyed, the process is expected to be completed by mid 2014. if assad's government does not comply they will be reeferred to the -- referred to the security council. it is unclear if russia signed on to the agreement. it is required to list its stockpile within one week.
4:09 pm
syrian, al jazeera's jean meserve reports from washington. >> president obama appearing on abc's this week, says a remarkable distance has been traveled in a short period of time to prevent another use of chemical weapons in syria but he acknowledges we are not there yet. the president said russian president vladimir putin is protecting syrian president bashar al-assad, but reaching a framework agreement to seize and destroy syria's chemical weapons. >> this is not a cold war, a contesting between united states and russia. the fact of the matter is, if russia wants to have some influence in syria, post-assad that doesn't hurt our interests. >> but republican senator john
4:10 pm
mccain continue agree more. >> i think it's a loser, because it gave russia a position in the middle east that they haven't had since 1970. we are now depending on the goodwill of the russian people if bashar al-assad fails in this agreement and i am of firm believe that is a very, very big gample. >> skeptics about the implementation. >> this is an opportunity that is filled with opportunity and fraught with danger. the fraught part is in fact assad who has still not said whether he has signed on to this agreement, ultimately even if he begins to move forward with some of the beginning elements of the agreement, doesn't fulfill elements of the agreement as we move along. >> the majority of americans oppose the possibility of military action in syria. but the administration says the threat of force spurred the
4:11 pm
negotiations. and secretary of state john kerry during meetings in jerusalem says it is still on the table. >> the let of force is -- the threat of force is real. and the assad regime and all those taking part need to understand that president obama and the united states are committed to achieve this goal. we cannot have hollow words in the conduct of international affairs. because that affects all other issues, whether iran or north korea or any other. >> israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu says it is particularly important that iran with its nuclear ambitions sees a coupling of diplomacy and the international threat. >> will have a direct impact on the syrian regime's patron iran. >> in his imruf president obama said the agreement on syrian
4:12 pm
chemical weapons should show iran that diplomacy has possibly but he added that a nuclear iran ask closer to u.s. interests and he said the iranians should not draw the lesson that since the united states did not strike syria it should not strike them. >> jean do the israelis think the united states is on the right attack? >> we do know that a majority of americans oppose military action. this steps the u.s. back from that brink, however there are some americans who believe there should be additional support to the syrian rebels. they may be disappointed by this deal but we're still waiting for the polling data to see where the american public stands on that. thomas. >> jean meserve, thank you.
4:13 pm
president obama has not ruled out punitive force against syria in the near future. joining us now for more on what's at stake is ambassador christopher hill, former assistant secretary of state. ambassador thanks for being with us. >> thank you. >> this situation is unprecedented as you know. how likely is syria to cooperate with access and verification of its inventory? >> i suspect it's going to be a process that's fraught with problems. just starting with agreeing on where the chemical weapons are, access to people who know about the chemical weapons, so there are going to be a lot of problems. but i do believe this was the best option on the table. and i really applaud secretary kerry for going out there to geneva, meeting his counterpart and getting it done. and i think maybe even more important than the actual deal is the fact that for once it
4:14 pm
seems there's been established some pattern of cooperation with the russians and let's see if this could carry us forward into looking at what an overall peace settlement might be in syria. >> ambassador do you think the key to force in syria was key to driving diplomacy? >> i always believe that diplomacy is better when it has the backup of military force. but i think the -- it has to be credible, but at the same time, the diplomacy has to be credible. so i think it was very important that we worked things through with the russians. and as secretary kerry said we haven't taken anything off the table by doing this. >> so u.s. strikes are still on the table? >> i would think everything is still on the table. i mean bashar al-assad does not have a particularly good track record of following through on things. the issue is that u russia shars with the u.s. the efforts to try to get this done. i think russia has really
4:15 pm
attached a lot of its own prestige othis process. i think this has a real chance of first of all preventing the use of chemical weapons which is a key factor and secondly of getting these chemical weapons out of the country. but i'm simply offering a word of caution. this is going to be a real tough one. but it's definitely a good first day. >> going to be a tough road. not everyone agrees. john mccain and lindsay graham said this was an act of aggression. your being reaction? >> with respect to these two senators, they ought to let the president do his job. he sent his secretary of state to work on a very tough deal to try to see if we could really minimize the chance that there would be further use of these weapons, to try to see if we can find out what they are, where they are and whether they can be taken out of the country. i think i.t. was clearly the right approach and i'm not sure
4:16 pm
anyone else has a better approach. i think the senators, mccain and graham would like to see us go to a punitive use of force but it was clear there's not a lot of support for this aside from mccain and graham. >> this comes down to accountability. do you feel this punishes assad enough for the august 21st aaattacks? >> no i don't think it punishes him nearly enough. and i would keep open other options for dealing with that. this was an utter outrage that they would use these weapons against receivables -- sense of. i think we should -- civilians. if we can advance the cause of
4:17 pm
getting chemical weapons out of syria and if there could be an effort to work on political arrangements so this hideous civil war can start drawing down that would be very important. absolutely not, we should not be forgetting what the syrian government has done and we should hold people accountable. >> we'll see how this agreement plays out. certainly appreciate your time today. >> thank you. attorney general eric holder and former secretary of state be condoliza rice were two of the members of the group gathered. >> as wirdz blew out and the
4:18 pm
building shook, even though my physical scars, that physical wound is gone. so as we think about the change that came about i'd like to thir that my four friends and i die in vein because in 1964, lyndon b. johnson signed a civil rights bill that would take down the signs of those colored and white. >> raylynn johnson has a look back at the civil rights movement. >> on a quiet sunday morning it was youth day at imham alabama's accessibilitalabama's16th stree. >> we don't believe anybody would be that mean and unkind. >> 14-year-old addie may collins and the youngest 11-year-old denise mcnair all died. i.t. would take four years for
4:19 pm
the fbi to discover that four members of the local can you clerk will unlock the machine. pgkukluxklanwere responsible. >> i was kind of numb. disbelief. just felt like pinching myself, saying you're not here, you're not here, you're not here. get up and go out the door and go home. >> the accessibility street bombings only increased racial tension in greated birmingham. the killing shocked the nation and helped galvanize the situation of civil rights across the country. a year later in 1964 president lyndon johnson signed the civil rights act. lisa mcnair never met her older sister. >> it was the first memory i recalled, myster was killed by white people who didn't like black people. you carry that around always

>> welcome back. we are just hours away from the most spectacular sa salvage operation in history. a team of 500 will start to upright the costa concordia. how it will be salvaged is the president of mammoth salvage america. good to have you with us. >> good afternoon. >> how do you even begin the process? >> yeah, it's a very complex process. and there's a lot of engineering in advance. i think the people who are doing
4:43 pm
this, they started with this about two years ago. and it's a lot of preparation and engineering and during the project, you run into all kinds of new information. and you have to adjust to that, to come up to the point as we are today. >> we talked about a crew of over 500. how costly is this effort? >> yeah, that's an interesting -- the way this is set up that's still very unpredictable to estimate. in the beginning they were talking about numbers ranging from 200 million, 300 million, founder million. what i -- 400 million. i read estimates up to 1.1 billion, i read in the media 1.9 billion was taken into account for the wreck removal operation. >> why did this process take so long? >> the thing is of course, cruise ships are not made for
4:44 pm
things like this and this is a one of a kind operation and you have to design tools for this. and the other thing is cruise ships are only used to carry passengers which is not a very heavy cargo. so compared to a strong cargo ship, the construction of a ship like this is actually very weak. which means you have to do a lot of reinforcements and take measures for the ship. otherwise during the operations she might be damaged severely. >> certainly not an easy process. could the cruise ship still sink? >> what happens on monday hopefully is they with it pull it upright. the salvage contractor at this point placed a number of platforms underneath the ship and when it's turned upright she will actually be standing on top of these platforms. >> how long will the entire process take? >> that's always difficult to say. of course i'm not involved in this project.
4:45 pm
but well, typically, a whole operation is a very slow process. you will do various checks if the whole ship is holding, if there's not too much deformation here and there and you will adjust. it could be 24 hours, could be 48 hours, it depends on how smooth things go, it is very unpredictable. >> i assume there are environmental concerns as well? >> the easiest way to remove this ship is just to cut it up in small pieces in that situation. but yeah, that would of course cause a lot of small particles to end up on the sea bed. that's why the underwriters the owner in italy has chosen to float it up in one piece. it is just from an environmental point of view. >> once it's towed away what will happen to the ship?
4:46 pm
>> that's the interesting thing. it will be towed to a dry dock where it probably will be cut up into small pieces where it will end up as scrap. it will never sail again as a cruise ship that's for sure. >> that's an interesting process. bath koppis appreciate your time. >> you're welcome. the financial crisis is a global one, in particular it's affecting greece, struggling with huge debt. property taxes to increase revenue and because of this homeowners are rushing to sell. many believe they are paying off their country's debt. john siropolus reports. >> yannis is selling his island, it has been in his family for years. island of rams lies just two hours' sailing from athens. the family no longer lives off
