whole vmas because i was watching "breaking bad," then i spent the rest of the night trying to figure out the ricin. i still don't understand what happened. i had to pop an ambien to get to sleep, i was so worked up about it. but i watched miley's performance today. i think i can call her miley today. if it got your goat, maybe it is time to stop watching the vmas. next year, if she is still performing, she is going to get up there and undergo a live colonoscopy or something. it was tackty, embarrassing but 10.1 million people watched and people are talking about it. when's getting the last laugh? hey, that's it for us. breaking news, the u.s. moves closer to war. u.s. officials telling cnn that navy destroyers could execute a mission in syria within hours of the president's orders.

plus, an update on the three women held captive for a decade in cleveland's house of horrors and why the city is demolishing even more homes around castro's house today. plus, a massive wildfire continues to burn out west. san francisco's water and power supply now being threatened. let's go "out front."

>> anyone could claim this attack is contrived or fabricated needs to check their own moral compass. what is before us today is real and it is compelling. president obama believes there must be accountability for those who would use the world's most heinous weapons against the world's most vulnerable people. >> so what's the reaction from syria? cnn's fred pleitgen has rare, inside access to damascus and cnn is the only western television network in damascus right now. hi, fred. tell us, quhas the reaction from the ground there? >> reporter: hi, jessica. you know, the syrian government hi, fred. tell us, quhas the reaction from the ground there? >> reporter: hi, jessica. you know, the syrian government hasn't put out statements after kerry's speech but they're reacting and you can certainly see they're at least hearing the message. when's going on is the foreign minister of the country called for a press conference for tomorrow 1:00 p.m. local time and you can see the government

reacting. president bashar al assad said in a russian newspaper it was ludicrous to assume that the forces would have used chemical lines on the front lines saying they would have gassed themselves. the u.s. isn't buying that. on the other hand, though, the syrian government is trying to show a show of force. what we have seen as the u.n. weapons inspectors were on the ground today in syria today and especially after getting back to the hotel in damascus is massive shelling of the outskirts of damascus with where the attacks are purported to have happened and the u.s. saying for a very long time it believes that damascus is trying to shell the outskirts to try to tamper with a soil samples that the weapons inspectors could find there and they believe the more shelling, the more difficult it becomes for the inspectors to find any sort of conclusive evidence of the nerve agent that might have been used, jessica. >> reporting for us from damascus, a fast-moving story.

we have all angles covered. cnn, the only television network with a reporter there in damascus. thank you, fred. outfront tonight, republican congressman peter king, he sits on both the house homeland security and the house intelligence committees. congressman king, thanks for being with us. the white house said today that president obama has not yet made a decision on how to respond to the use of chemical weapons in syria buts so of john kerry seemed to be sending a pretty clear signal that action could be on the horizon. take a moment to listen to how he painted the picture of chemical weapons use in syria. >> the indiscriminate slaughter of civilians, the large-scale indiscriminate use of weapons. this indiscriminate use of chemical weapons. >> congressman, do you think it's now time for the u.s. to act? >> especially after what

secretary kerry said, we have to act. i'm not certain where this is going to lead but once that red line is crossed, once chemical weapons has been used, i believe the president has to take action, not just because of syria but the region. iran is looking at how we respond going forward with the nuclear weapons program. allies and adversaries in the region look. we have to take action. i believe cruise missiles would be the best at this stage, both destroying the chemical weapons locations. also, as far as taking out command and control locations. having said that, i'm not a big advocate for the rebels. i believe in the last year or so they're largely controlled or significantly controlled by al qaeda elements. if the president had taken action two years ago, we would be better off. >> what sort of action would you support? you said missiles. >> i would not put american lives at risk. if there's another way to do it, only one i can see is cruise missiles other than aircraft and syria does have a very sophisticated anti-aircraft

system. so if we send in air power and we have to assume and expect that americans will be shot down and that will involve us going in, taking further action. at this stage, i believe we should use maximum, have maximum use of cruise missiles going out to locations where the chemical weapons are stored. and also, at their command and control locations. and also, if we -- any other key targets in syria that, you know, that we can hit and we should do it. >> i want to ask you about american credibility because we remember february 5th, 2003, went secretary of state colin powell made the case before the u.n. to go to war in iraq. he said they had evidence of alleged weapons program. now the obama administration says they have evidence of chemical weapons in syria. are you at all concerned we might be wrong as we were then? >> there's a possibility but you have to act on what's available.

we have more of losing credibility if we don't act because president obama warned syria in the past. >> a year ago, president obama set that red line on syria here. listen to this. >> a red line for us is we start seeing a whole bunch of chemical weapons moving around or being weapons moving around or being utilized. >> fellow republican house armed services committee colleague said, drawing red lines before you know what you're willing to do to back them up is folly but now that american credibility is on the line, the president cannot fail to act decisively. do you think the president backed the u.s. in to a corner here by setting that red line? >> well, first of all, i agree with buck. i think the president should not have set a red line unless he knew what he was going to do. we can't lay out threats unless we know what we're going to do

and why we are going to do it. having drawn that red line, we have no choice i feel now but to take firm and strong action and, again, syria and assad, he is an evil person. horrible tyrant. and he's a menace to the entire region. but again, my other concern is i'm not -- i'm not sold on the rebels, either. they just have too much al qaeda influence. >> you mentioned iran earlier. you know, syria's not the only country where the president set red lines and also set a red line with iran gopping a nuclear weapon. do you think the president's response here in syria could be a test case for egypt and anywhere else? >> yeah. i strongly believe that. we have made it clear, the president time and again, has basically said that iran will not be allowed to have nuclear weapons. that's a red line. if we don't enforce it against syria, iran will just be reinforcing the beliefs that they can go forward without real

threat from the u.s. so, you know, this is as much a warning to iran as i see it as it is action against syria. iran has to know we're serious. otherwise they'll go more speedily ahead with their nuclear program. >> finally, have you been consulted by the white house and gotten a call? >> i have not. let me make it clear. i believe the president can take the action without authorization of the congress and has as commander in chief the right to take the action. it's in his interest to consult with the leadership in the house and the senate. i don't believe he has to. >> now while the congressman says he does not believe president obama needs congressional approval, other members disagree. now, still to come, the convicted ft. hood shooter cannot be put to death without approval from the president. would president obama sign that order? plus, one of the largest dogfighting rings in american history is shut down.

will the convicted ft. hood shooter be put to death? witnesses began testifying today. he was found guilty of 13 counts of murder and 32 counts of attempted murder. the death penalty is a rare sentence for the u.s. military and it would ultimately require approval from the president himself. cnn's senior legal analyst jeffrey toobin is "out front" to discuss this. hey, jeff. so, would the president, do you think, really approve this? >> absolutely. when you consider the magnitude of this crime, 13 murders, absolutely no repentance, no regrets. and that it was really as he

acknowledged part of a terrorist attack on our troops. i don't think barack obama would have a moment's hesitation if he has the chance because appeals in this case will drag on for years and may outlast his presidency. >> if it goes on that long and a complicated case, is it possible that hassan could avoid the lethal injection and technically given the death penalty? >> absolutely. there is not a lot of legal history as i think you have pointed out. there's not been a military execution since 1961. the military is not set up, the legal system for this. it is quite possible that an appeals court could find some problem with the case that would result in a life sentence. but he could also get the death penalty because he seems to be trying to get it. >> yes. >> doesn't seem to be much doubt that the trial is a kind of slow motion suicide. >> it's interesting. most of the victims' families don't want him to get the death penalty. >> do you want to give him the satisfaction of martyrdom or do

you not care whether he is and give him the penalty? >> fascinating case. thank you so much. >> okay. our third story "out front," busted. federal authorities shut down one of the biggest dogfighting rings in u.s. history. nearly 370 pitbulls were rescued this weekend in a massive raid that stretched across texas, mississippi, alabama and georgia. david mattingly is "out front" on this story. hi, david. what did investigators find? >> well, first of all, they found 367 dogs. over 100 of them just in one single location. they have arrested ten men, seven of them came from the state of alabama. but this goes beyond just fighting dogs and the atrocities involved in that. they're looking at what they seized here in terms of money. they seized a half million dollars in this raid on friday that shows you just what big money is being had at these dogfighting operations.

now, they also believe that some of these defendants may have been gambling as much as $200,000 on a single dogfight. again, showing you what kind of money was involved in these operations so doing much further than just dogfighting. they're also looking at illegal gambling operations and what sort of organizations might be out there associated with this. >> that is big money. what will happen to these dogs? >> well, right now, they're in emergency shelters. they're being cared for. they're getting medical treatment, food, getting a safe place, a comfortable place to sleep for a change. they found some of these dogs tied up with very heavy chains out in the sun. clearly, not good conditions for them to be living in. and the treatment they were getting is highly, highly questionable right now. but in their immediate future, there's going to be dna testing.

they're going to be starting to track the blood lines of these dogs because if they believe they're able to follow the blood lines of these dogs to other parts of the country, possible other busts down the future, they're going to be able to connect more people and possibly more illegal activity as they go. >> all right. david, gruesome. thank you for that report. in our money and power segment tonight, donald trump accused of running a phony school. new york attorney general schneiderman said trump defrauded customers out of $40 million a sham university. according to the ag, the trump university would have experts picked by trump himself. they were supposed to teach students how to get rich but according to the lawsuit, that was not the case. the suit makes several accusations. for example, the lawsuit alleges instructors insinuated trump would appear at the seminar and would have, some of the participants had the pictures take within a life-sized photo

of donald trump. the suit also allege l edges that trump did not pick the instructors and little to no role of developing the curriculum. students paid nearly $1,500 to attend a 3-day course and up to $35,000 for the trump elite course. now, for the record, trump completely denies the allegations saying the students were happy and on twitter he suggests the case is politically motivated. our fourth story "out front," remodeling the street of horrors. crews tore down two more homes in cleveland today. right next door to where castro held three women captive over a decade. he was sentenced to life without parole and another 1,000 years. crews will return to the area tomorrow to begin planting grass and flowers. castro's victims continue with

their recovery. readjusting to the new lives and even making some public appearances. scott taylor, an investigative reporter with woio is "out front." hi, scott. when's the latest? >> reporter: well, let's start with amanda berry, first. 27 years old, single mom. she's come out publicly. she was at large outdoor concert, a lot of people saw that. rover fest. got up on stage and nellie actually sang her a song but and still protective on what she says. she doesn't want to discuss anything that went on in the house in order to make sure that her 6-year-old just doesn't hear anything at all about it. and then there's michelle knight. michelle knight made that passionate, impact statement in front of castro. she's really become the face of the entire story right now when

she did make that statement at his sentencing. she also made sure that she was in front of his house moments before it was destroyed. she read one of the most favorite poems and she also has had a little fun and talked to the host of "bizarre foods." he was here about two weeks ago at the westside market, an open air market. the farmers come here and trade their vegetables and so forth. and, michelle, you might know, jessica, loves food. is a -- loves to cook and so they traded some ideas. and then there's gina. gina who i have come to be close to with her family. only 23 years old. she is very shy, probably the most shy out of all of them. she did get in a car and participate in a parade with her family and friends. drove through the city and waved at everybody. she was also just spotted,

jessica, at a roller rink believe it or not with family and friends. something that she hasn't been able to do for ten years. >> so nice to hear about them emerging. i'm wondering if any of them returned to the neighborhood where they were held captive and if they have gone, why did they go back? >> well, they all three have gone back before castro's house was destroyed about three weeks ago. they demolished. michelle's been there twice. once before it was demolished and then moments before. gina i believe stopped by, as we. amanda, too. i think it's one of the processes of their healing and also making sure that their lives continue, michelle made it very clear in that victim's impact statement in front of aerial castro her life is going to continue. >> scott, really touching reporting and so sensitive to what they're going through. thanks so much for your updates. scott taylor reporting for us.

welcome back to the second half of "out front." we start with the stories where we focus on our own reporting from the front lines.

today treasury secretary lew said the united states will reach the $16.7 trillion debt ceiling by mid-october unless congress raises the limit the u.s. government could run out of money and default. complicated matters, there are only nine legislative days scheduled in september according to a lawmaker. congress procrastinated for about seven months last time around before making a deal on the day the government was set to run out of money. "out front" learned groups behind the currency talked about setting up some rules. it is backed by investors but it's vulnerable to hacking, not insured. the general council for the group of bitcoin foundation said they welcome the talks with the fed. some new drive-ins in switzerland but they're sex drive-ins.

in an attempt to take open prostitution off the street and keep the women safe, zurich is opening nine structures equipped with alarm buttons and security guards to protect prostituted. as many as 40 women are expected to work there each night open from 7:00 p.m. to 5:00 a.m. and can only be accessed by car. according to one estimate, prostitution is legal in nearly 80 countries around the world. breaking news now, an update on the top story. senior administration officials tell cnn that president obama will be presented with final options regarding actions against syria in the next few days. if the president does decide to order military action, it could come as early as midweek. but the official did caution it could come later than that. another u.s. official also tells cnn that the u.s. is prepared if

necessary to strike syria, quote, within hours. now, we want to be clear. the president has not yet ordered any military action. and the white house has stressed today that it is still e value waiting all options. and now, our fifth story "out front." breaking news on the massive wildfire threatening yosemite national park and san francisco's key water and power sources. this is new pictures from the front lines. the crew just shot these. 149,000 acres have been scorched so far and that burned area equals the size of the city of chicago. 3,600 firefighters are working to rein in that blaze but so far the fire is only 15% contained. casey wian is on the ground in groveland, california. casey, hi. tell us how concerned are authorities there that this fire will spread further? >> reporter: well, it certainly

is spreading further, jessica, and they are concerned. you can see behind me some of the smoke from the giant fire. i'm at one end of the fire. on the other end, we drove through there earlier, 13 miles of nothing but devastation. burnt out forest. this is now the largest fire according to california fire officials in the history of the sierra nevada range. now over 150,000 acres. here's what one fire official had to say about the impact on this area. >> really a tremendous impact. highway 124 corridor in to yosemite on the north gate is closed now so the town of groveland is actually the biggest economic weekend of the year, it's like a ghost town. it's like i had some of my fire information officers at pine crest lake. usually 10,000 people on a sunday.

it's just everywhere in this area smoke impacted. we're losing all that, so much economy it's unreal. >> reporter: now, despite that bleak assessment, officials say they feel like they're getting a handle on things. you mentioned earlier, jessica, 15% containment figures. that's good news. it was 7% yesterday. the other good news, the humidity levels. 60% which is really helping firefighters battle this blaze, jessica. >> casey, is there a real threat to the yosemite and san francisco water supply still? >> reporter: well, there is a real threat but it's probably lessening. good news is this fire burned really close to a key reservoir this supplies about 80% of san francisco's drinking water. that is surrounded by granite and the fire stopped before it got in to the reservoir according to fire officials. in terms of yosemite valley, we drove through there earlier today. fire officials say they have at

least two more lines of defense beyond the current one to try to set up before the fire reach it is yosemite valley. we drove through there. the air quality is not too bad o. officials say come on up. it's still safe and a couple of ways to get in to the park. so far, so good, jessica. >> all right. thanks so much for the report. our sixth story "out front," can a video game lead to murder? an 8-year-old boy in louisiana shot and killed his 90-year-old grandmother moments after he finished playing the video game grand theft auto 4. police have not revealed a motive and said the video game may have played a role. but can a video game really train someone to kill? "out front," dr. drew pinski. a real pleasure to be here with you.

>> thank you so much. >> police have been making the connection between the game and the murder. >> yes. >> do you agree there's a link? >> there's a link between video games and aggression but a causational link is tough to make. there's so much going on in the culture that contributes to violence in young people, to point a finger at one aspect, i think it's misplaced. there's so much else to be concerned with. the kids that get in to trouble are kids who are already at risk. already in trouble. >> that makes sense. there have been about 25 million copies of grand theft auto sold since 2008. you would wonder why they haven't committed crimes if there weren't a link. if there were a link. talk more about the people for whom this does lead to vie listens. >> just to put a coat on that, everyone that goes in the military would come home and do that but the people that come from destroyed families, aggression or violence in the

home. that is somebody who's at risk and certain mental health issues to put people at risk for violence and not if they're properly treated. again, i wouldn't encourage somebody to watch a violent video game with these sorts of risky circumstances in their life but to blame it, i think we have to be careful about this. >> say we're talking about a people that comes from a very troubled home, violence around them -- >> yes. >> what's the science show? if they start playing the video games, what then happens to them? >> there's an association of violent video games and behavior. causation, to say it's causing that i think is a little bit misplaced. i see people acting out on social media all the time and we don't worry about that. let alone to cartoons. i promise you, if you have a young male son out there, he's playing a violent video game and doesn't mean he will kill somebody unless there's other issues in his life.

>> isn't this the same old thing that comic books at one point thought to lead to violence? >> yes. >> with a troubled kid in a troubled home with a comic book, they would get in trouble. >> listen. the novels, that was supposed to have a horrible influence and possibly they do and a cumulative effect. but again, there are so many more important issues that come to bare on the behavior of youth that spending energy worrying about this may be misplaced. check out this story. the national security agency scandal just got a little weirder. according to reports, nsa officers admitted using the agency's eavesdropping powers the spy on their own romantic partners and spouses. since those revelations, the hash tag nsa pickup lines created a storm on twitter. users are tweeting their own jokes and lines and the most common nsa pickup lines on twitter are song lyrics that

should be very familiar. at least to some of white house are old enough to remember. hundreds of users have been posting the lyrics to the police song "every breath you take." and that brings us to tonight's number. 1983. on this day in 1983, the song "every breath you take" was the number 1 song in america. and in a lot of ways, the seeds of the current nsa scandal were planted that year. 1983 is when the world's first commercial mobile phone went on the market. and that's when we started using the cell phones the nsa loves so much. and, in 1983, "the new york times" published this column titled the silent power of the nsa warning that, quote, this virtually unknown federal agency has repeatedly sought to enlarge its power without consulting the civilian officials who theoretically direct the government.

that was written 30 years ago. yes, we note 1984 has long been considered the year of big brother but it looks like that may have been a year late. still to come, miley cyrus's raunchy routine sparks criticism but does it add up? pandemonium. another cub could be on the way. the shout out tonight and an amazing shot. colorado state university freshman has won a year's worth of tuition after sinking a half court shot during a pep rally on campus. he was selected randomly and given three opportunities to make the shot. he only needed one. it's a very similar shot to the one we saw from a ball state freshman last week, amazing. wow. look at that. the student won a semester's worth of free tuition and the shout out tonight goes to four colorado state university

we are back with tonight's

we are back with tonight's outer circle. pandemonium. a couple of weeks ago a panda cub was born at a zoo in vienna. it was a much-celebrated birth because that panda was conceived naturally an apparently very rare. this is only the third successful attempt to breed pandas naturally in europe. and then on friday, a panda was born at the national zoo in washington. so far, that cub appears to be in excellent health. and that brings us to scotland where a panda might be pregnant. i asked erin mclaughlin what they will be watching out for. >> jessica, the uk's only giant female panda could give birth within the next two weeks. hormone tests point to the possibility she might be pregnant after being articlely inseminated in april. she is being watched for signs of labor such as restless

behavior. this is an extremely sensitive time. experts say it is possible for the fetus to be reabsorbed or rejected and the birth itself could last a matter of minutes because they're so small. zoo keepers say they're keeping their fingers crossed. jessica? >> thanks, erin. so cute. the seventh story out front, miley cyrus stunned. she left jaws hanging after the performance at the mtv video music awards. check it out. you can see cyrus strutting around the stage with giant teddy bears and then strips down to a nude apparently latex bikinis and starts dancing or gyrating, whatever you call it with robin thicke and a giant foam finger. it is a performance many called offensive. but did miley cyrus accomplish what she set out to do? radio show host stephanie

miller, opinion contributor. all right. joe, i'm going to first start with you. and play some of the reaction to her performance from this morning. listen to this. >> okay. >> where have you gone, hannah montana? last night it was miley mtv style. the 20-year-old twerking on the stage and out of the clothing. >> the paper said lewdness and a molestation of robin thicke. >> i believe twerking is banned by every senior prom this year. thanks to miley. there are people going where are her parents? >> twerking is the way she was dancing, a dance style. are they overreacting? is it really that bad? >> where's the line anymore? remember 1984 and "like a virgin" and madonna? you were like 4 years old at the time? that was considered the end of western civilization. and then 2013 miley does this. 2033 we're probably going to look back on this and miley and her daughter having birth on

stage. then, you know, that will be considered provocative and seems like the mtv video music awards is all about doing something more provocative than they did last year and this is a matter of one upsmanship or one downsmanship. >> it's a way to make money. is that a problem? >> it is her choice, her career. she has succeeded at making lindsay lohan look better, that's remarkable. makes katy perry look like a nun. she's worth $120 million to $150 million. the song is number three on the charts. she doesn't need to do this to get better known. she is trying to be an adult star now. it's desperate. you watch this. i feel bad for her. like a "saturday night live" sketch but it's not funny. >> madonna's video "justify my
