reports that it's troops have joined forces with the syrian government. we have more now from beirut. >> iran's official line is that they have no troops ground forces in syria. we know iran is a key ally of the syrian government providing much needed political military support even financial support. and iran does not tried to stay away from the fact that they have military advisers on the ground. just a few days ago they announced one of the top generals were killed. but now we're hearing from sources reporting that iranian ground forces are taking part in end ground offensives. we know that there are sources, and the reports that they're leaking are providing really

detailed information about operational plans on the ground, which with this being very fourth coming, and they have been fourth coming since the start of the russian intervention in syria. iran wants to get a message to the world that they're there. we are in syria. we've always been in syria. our role has not been sidelined ever since the russians--what is clear that pro iranian forces are talking about ground operations to try to change the balance of power on the ground. the balance no one really had the upper hand, but as of late the syrian government was feeling threatened in two front

here to talk about the debate, david? >> we are pouring through the focus groups who watched the debate, and by all accounts hillary clinton scored well on being polished and presidential. and bernie sanders scored well on substance and passion. the defining moment was when sanders addressed hillary clinton's e-mail controversy. >> let me say something that may not be great politics, but i think the secretary is right. that is that the american people are sick and tired of hearing about your damn e-mails. >> thank you, me, too, me too. >> it helps them both. from the highlights to the low lights. based on the focus group the low light came when hillary clinton was asked about policy flip flop and denied that her views have changed very much. watch. >> well, actually i've been very consistent over the course of my entire life.

i've always fought for the values and principles, but like most human beings including those of us who run for office, i do absorb new information, i learn things from the world, i did say three years ago that i hoped it would be the gold standard. it was negotiated last week, and in looking at it didn't meet my standards. >> focus group voters said that they didn't like the answer very much. they said it sounded like a job interview rather than what she believes. clinton is already facing perceptions that she's not truth worthy or honest. that might be the one thing that is wrapping u wrapping up this

nomination. >> did you find there was a gender or age gap between those who were in the focus group. >> yes, men scored higher for bernie sanders and women gave it to hillary clinton. there was a huge divide when it came to age. younger voters loved what bernie sanders said last night 37 not so much hillary clinton. here's a problem that bernie sanders has , older voters tend to vote more than the younger voters. can he get those younger voters out on the night of election. >> did they talk about joe bid biden. >> they were presented by the commercial that the draft joe biden campaign put together.

and based on the commercial 20 people out of 35 in the focus group said that we want joe biden to run. but then the debate. hillary clinton has taken up a lot of space and may have squeezed joe biden out particularly in policy views. if joe biden gets in, now he finds himself to hillary clinton's white. those are key issues degrees. >> defunding planned parenthood has emerged as a big issue among republican presidential hopefuls. hillary clinton defended the healthcare provider. >> it's always the republicans wh or their sympathizers who say you can't have parent leave but they don't mind big government when it comes to planned parenthood. i'm sick of it.
