syria with the threat of retaliation and the meeting with vladimir putin. we are going to cover a more human angle. sanjay gupta is near the syrian border where a plus, take a look at this video. you can hear the gunshots right there. that is a florida man shooting and killing two of his neighbors, if you can believe it injuring a third. the reason he did it, you ask. he said it was a preemptive strike because he feared they'd get to him first. and his lawyer is now trying to cite the bush doctrine in an attempt to get him off of the charge. a strange twist overnight. a dramatic video, this young man is confessing for the first time to killing a man in a drunk driving accident. he has not been charged. taking full responsibility for his actions in this online video why did he post the video and will he now be charged? we'll take a look at this. let's get to the new developments on syria. from congress where the plan for

a strike is meeting stiff resistance to russia where the president is in intense meetings and dr. sanjay gupta near the border witnessing the desperation on the ground. we tart at the pentagon with that breaking news overnight about a reported plot by iran directing militants to attack u.s. interests if there's a strike. cnn's chris lawrence following it for us. good morning, chris. >> reporter: hey, good morning, chris. yeah, "the wall street journal" is reporting that the u.s. has intercepted communications from iran directing militants in iraq to attack the u.s. embassy in baghdad and other americans there. i've been at that embassy when it has been shelled by mortars and weapons. it is a fortress but the state department put out a warning to workers living and working in iraq. also, new information from officials about the scope of any potential air strike in syria. we are told that aircraft may be

used, in fact, it may be bombers, long-range bombers flown by pilots right here in the united states. but these bombers, i'm told, would stay out of syrian airspace and use what's called standoff weapons to trike targets within syria. kate? >> a lot of developments on this story. thanks for starting us off. the big question also this morning, do u.s. lawmakers and the american people have the stomach to stand behind a mission right now? right now it appears the president's plan to punish syria is losing support. let's get to chief congressional correspondent dana bash live from capitol hill this morning. trying to track all the votes, looks at the moment more undecideds than anything else, dana. >> reporter: look, we've seen an unprecedented lobbying effort by the obama administration, bipartisan support from congressional leaders. despite that, it does seem that the momentum we saw earlier this week for the president has stalled and talking to lawmakers there are lots of reasons for that not the least of which is

the opposition that they're hearing from the voters who sent them here. >> i am opposed to having a single american boot on the ground. in syria. >> we sent you to stop the war. >> for undecided lawmakers watching what happened to pro-syria bombing senator john mccain back home is a cautionary tale. >> this is what i think of congress. they are a bunch of marshmallows. why are you not listening to the people and staying out of syria? it's not our fight. >> reporter: even for a town hall veteran like mccain this was rough. >> we not afford to turn syria into another iraq. or afghanistan. i beg you. >> reporter: lawmakers are hearing that kind of opposition all across the country. it's part of the reason even the president's most loyal supporters like members of the black caucus are very wary of authorizing a strike. >> a large number of them say we

don't want you to go to war. >> reporter: a house democratic leadership source insists to cnn the majority of lawmakers are still persuadable but they have not yet been briefed. the problem for the president, how many especially fellow democrats are reluctant even after attending classified briefings intended to persuade them. >> what will our allies do? i know 37 nations said they would support us, but what does support mean? >> reporter: democrat tull si gabbert is a combat veteran of the iraq war. >> i've seen firsthand the extreme costs of war both overseas as well as at home is something that is giving me a unique perspective but great pause. >> reporter: she is like many who don't question whether bashar al assad used chemical weapons but do question obama officials' ability to answer key questions in public or private about military contingencies

after the u.s. bombs like what if assad finds a way to use chemical weapons again? >> do we strike again? well, that's the definition of further entanglement. that's the definition of our becoming deeply involved in a war. >> reporter: most members who are truly undecided really do appear to be doing their homework. we talked to several who say they are attending more than one classified briefing trying to get as much information as they can in order to make their decision. many say they are counting on a presidential prime time address which we do expect in the coming days in order to convince them and perhaps more importantly their constituents urging them to vote no. chris? >> all right. dana. thank you. as the condoleezza rices a strike president obama is in st. petersburg russia for the g-20 summit urging or using this opportunity to make his case for action in syria with his fellow world leaders but a troubling image emerged. the leaders walking to dinner. they were together, no president obama.

he came later alone. >> the tension between president obama and russian president putin is a major issue and one that could get worse after president obama meets today with members of russian human rights and lgbt groups. brianna keilar is with the president in st. petersburg. good morning. >> reporter: good morning to you, chris. president obama met officially at a one-on-one meeting with chinese president, another at odds over syria but it is still russian and president putin who remains the sort in president obama's side. for a mere 17 seconds they were all smiles putting on a good face for the camera as tensions deepened between president obama and his chief skeptic on syria. russian president vladimir putin. obama still faces a long road ahead in his push for global support for a u.s.-led strike against syria.

asked if he's made any progress. >> we were talking about the economy this afternoon. >> reporter: syria is the proverbial elephant in the room as it's not even on the official agenda for the summit pushing all discussions on to the margins in corridors and behind closed doors. >> i think our joint recognition that the use of chemical weapons in syria is not only a tragedy, but also a violation of international law that must be addressed. >> reporter: in the midst of the private meetings a very public key announcement on thursday. the ministry of defense confirmed reports they found traces of sarin gas on clothing and soil sample from a victim in the damascus attack. david cameron discussed it in an interview with the bbc. >> i think the evidence is growing all the time and we have just been looking at some samples taken from damascus which further shows the use of chemical weapons in that damascus suburb. >> reporter: so far putin hasn't commented on syria publicly. his press secretary took the

reins saying "we all need a convincing and legitimate evidence of proof" and to further the divide obama appears to be thumbing his nose at putin on his own turf he plans to meet with gay rights activists as outrage spreads over russia's new law banning any promotion of gay relationships to minors. all of the world leaders here last night had a dinner last night. it lasted a very long time, four hours and following that dinner, we heard from australia's foreign minister who said that the world leaders really stated their position on what they thought on syria and he also backed up what we heard from russia's press secretary which was they were divided down the middle. not necessarily on responding to syria, syria's alleged use of chemical weapons but whether to work through the u.n., something, kate, that the u.s. government feels is fruitless because of russia and china's ability to have a veto on the security council. >> at least at this point it

seems absolutely true. thank you so much. great work in st. petersburg. back here at home a growing health alert. several states are seeing an alarming increase in cases of choopg. in tex what's causing whooping cough and what can be done about it? elizabeth cohen is at the cnn center in atlanta with more. good morning, elizabeth. >> reporter: good morning, kate. kate, you have a really bad combination going on right now. you have kids going back to school so once again they're in close quarters and you have a vaccine that fades over time. the awful sound of whooping cough. a brutal cough that can last for months. a potentially fatal illness for babies and young children who haven't had a chance to get all their shots yet. >> they may have spells of apnea where they stop breathing.

>> reporter: 16 states in washington, d.c. are seeing an increase in cases compared to this time last year. more than 2,000 cases so far in texas alone. claiming the lives of two babies. the state is on course to have its worst whooping cough outbreak in over 50 years. officials this week issuing a health alert. warning texans that vaccinations are vital. but the effectiveness of the whooping cough vaccine fades quickly. by age 11 only 7 out of 10 kids are still fully protected. that's why the centers for disease control recommends a booster shot for preteens to protect themselves and any babies they could unwittingly infect. now, adults should also get a booster shot if they didn't get one as a preteen or teenager. especially important if you have a baby. these, of course, you would never want to give your baby whooping cough. chris, kate. >> absolutely not, all right, elizabeth, important information for every family. thanks so much.

looking at a lot of news, let's get the latest from michaela. >> aching headlines. a u.s. drone strike in pakistan kills at least seven suspected militant firing two missiles that struck a house near the pakistan/afghan border. four men were seriously injured and taken to hospital. the strike was the 20th deadly missile attack on pakistani soil this year. the nsa's long-running battle to conquer internet endescription has succeeded. they are using super computers and court orders to bypass online privacy protections. they were provided to "the new york times" and "the guardian" and say the nsa has cracked or circumvented the protection that is guard global banking systems, medical records and the e-mails of everyday u.s. citizens. the attorney for a former montana teacher who was given a 30-day sentence for raping a 14-year-old girl is asking the judge to cancel the resentencing hearing. the judge scheduled it after

admitting the sentence he imposed was wrong. the teacher's attorney along with prosecutors filed annage petition claiming that the judge lacks the authority to change that sentence. we'll have much more coming up in the next hour. new york city police announcing they have arrested the man who posted dash cam video of himself speeding around the entire island of manhattan in just 24 minutes. we showed you the video yesterday right here on "new day." christopher adam tang now facing multiple charges including reckless endangerment and police seized his 2006 bmw z4. street cameras that read license plates led them to the suspect. finally you might have heard the nfl is back. boy, what a start to this season. in his hall of fame career peyton manning never better throwing seven touchdown passes. count them. go ahead. do it. the nfl season kicked off with the broncos routing the ravens 49-27 in denver. he is the sixth quarterback in nfl history, kate, you would

typically they should be 83. high pressure, all that heat out there then you add that monsoonal moisture and, boom, they got a thunderstorm. not even the huge storm. it was literally in the wrong place, wrong time causing that delay that postponed the game. pretty typical for this time of year to see monsoonal moisture in the air. what is not typical? the northeast chili, yeah, frost advisories, warnings in upstate new york. we have a bite in the morning. we're talking about temperatures even in the 30s. look at that in the northeast, yes, boston, new york in the 50s, even for us that is a good ten degrees below normal. remember if you're cold in the morning chances are you'll still be cold in the afternoon, as well. afternoon highs below normal. a lot of low 70s. even look at the 60s. buffalo, high of 69. that is a chill then we'll add to it. everyone loves me so much as we go through the weekend another cold front maybes its way through. looks like saturday night in through sunday we'll get just a hint of rain. not a big rainmaker but enough to bring temperatures back down again.

>> we need to talk about where the temperatures are going to be and, oh, a certain area of ohio this weekend. >> a little bit of rain. >> someone is traveling. someone might be heading there for the opening of hunting season. >> rain for you. >> i'll make to stay indoors. >> bingo. >> i got it. >> is that why you bought me that jacket with the duck head on the top of it. >> oh, i didn't mean too. whoops. that was a fashion statement. thanks, indra. >> got it. >> that was a statement all right. we'll take a break. coming up on "new day" less than two months after beating a murder charge george zimmerman heading back to court. only this time it's divorce court. we'll tell you why. more than 2 million syrians are now refugees. think of that number, 2 million people, many of them fleeing their nation's bloody civil war into lebanon. well, cnn's chief medical associate dr. sanjay gupta is bringing us their story live from the syria/lebanon border ahead on "new day." mine was earned in djibouti, africa. 2004.

on syria. they ordered militants to attack the u.s. embassy and or american interests in baghdad if the u.s. takes aim at syrian targets. there are assets ready to respond in case. the president is poised to answer tough questioning about syria. he's expected to hold a news conference in russia later this morning. russia's vladimir putin and other world leaders of the g-20 have been ratcheting up the pressure on president obama to decide against launching military strikes in syria. a pretrial evidence hearing today for an idaho man charged with attempting to assassinate president obama by shooting at the white house. court documents says oscar ortega hernandez opened fire with a high-powered rifle back in 2011. the president was away on a trip at the time. prosecutors said he may have been upset about the country's marijuana policy. a new legal twist in the custody fight over baby veronica now nearly 4. the girl's biological father, dusten brown, is fighting an

senate 24 yes votes. in the house nearly four no votes to every yes vote over there, a majority in both houses remaining undecided. the administration has been pressing its case all week long. what more can the administration, the white house and the president do to try to win at this point? >> reporter: well, kate, good morning. let me start the discussion with this from a top house republican leadership aide. someone who is trying to help the president here even though they're not traditionally allies. "i'd be floored in it passes." now that's anecdotally based on members of congress checking in with their leadership, the leadership poking around just reading the headlines. can it change? that bottom line you just showed majority in both houses remain undecided. that is the president's hope when lawmakers come back to washington next week and get classified briefings, when you can lobby them one-on-one, face to face and try to present information. can the president turn it around? yes. is the hill getting steeper as more lawmakers come out and say no, just yesterday a

conservative democrat from west virginia, senator joe manchin, those are the votes the president needs so starting to see people come out -- you say, hmm, if you think of other like-minded people in the congress the dynamic is against the president. what can he do? it'll take one-on-one lobbying and classification of briefings overwhelming people but it's not looking good for the president. >> one big factor is public opinion. i mean if you need further evidence of that, you don't need to look at the polls. just look at the town halls that some people have been having. john mccain getting an earful at a town hall he held in arizona. what are really lawmakers hearing? i one you hear at that town hall we sent you there to stop wars, not top them. >> reporter: that is part of it and talked about this before. the current president who is now asking for these votes helped create this by part by coming into international prominence for the united states to get out of the mideast. this is completely bipartisan. you're having liberal democrats and conservative republicans facing the same things back home and it's not just a visceral no.

well, if you talk to people they thought this through. part is iraq and afghanistan. people are tired after more than a decade of war. part of it is more recent history. people say, look, at egypt. look at libya, we try to help and what is happening, it's not working. part to be frank some conservative republicans who might be with the president with this if he was in a higher standing don't see the reason for public opinion to back it back home and not going to be with the president simply because of the strange relationships. >> if the senate fails, it looks like it's going to be first depending on the procedural rules. if the senate fails is there any chance the house is going to vote or even get a vote for it especially? >> reporter: well, forget about it. if it fails in the senate it's over. part of the president's hope you get people back in town and get a senate vote then you get a bit of a pause and a reset and rethinking of it in the house for those people undecided who could make the difference. now, we have he all votes change. sometimes votes change during votes so, you know, it ain't over until it's over but if the

senate votes this one down you can forget about it in the house. >> big weekend. we'll see a lot of lobbying over the weekend. that's for sure. all right, john, have a good weekend. see you on monday. all right, coming up after the break a stunning internet confession. an ohio man revealing online he killed a man while driving drunk. about why did he do it? you may think to yourself to help himself. there are no charges yet and the video could help prosecutors. that's a question. you'll want to hear it. $200 million worth of iconic classic cars, ooh-la-la on display in london. some of them never seen in public where. if you're a car buff, you're in for a treat but first cnn's you will all new cross fire debuts monday, september 9th. that's coming up take a look back at one of its classic clips. >> one of the great things about "cross fire." it's not just about politics. back in 1986 frank zappa came on the show all cleaned up in a suit and tie to talk about dirty

welcome back to "new day." the syrian crisis has everyone on edge. jim clancy in jerusalem. >> reporter: the 6 million jewish citizens marked rosh hashanah under spectacular blue

skies but the celebrations were under the shadow of conflict. israel is surrounded by turmoil in the arab world. syria and its allies have threatened the jewish state with retaliation if the u.s. goes ahead with a punitive strike. government officials say that's extremely unlikely. but people here have stocked up on gas masks and almost half of the people in the country believe they will become a target. happy new year, well, that depends. back to you, kate. >> all right, jim, thank you so much. now to brazil where new and impressive images of the olympic park are stoking excitement for 2016. chas that darlington explains. >> reporter: new images have been unveiled showing rio de janeiro like you've never seen it before. they will kick off in 2016. the park was designed by the same british architects who built the 2012 london park. but this time the flowing

pathways are supposed to resemble the meandering amazon river. it'll be lit up at night. some of these lights look like the olympic flag. now, the park is currently under construction but according to organizers, everything is on schedule. back to you, kate. >> all right, thanks so much. now some of the most expensive classic cars in the world are on display this weekend including one owned by an iconic movie star known for, what else, his fast driving. nino does santos has more. >> reporter: the creme de la creme, $200 million worth of some of the world's most iconic and valuable vehicles on show in london for four days only and a number of these cars have important historical connections like, for instance, 1963 ferrari once owned by steve mckean. the market has soared ahead and because of that you'd expect to find a number of these cars in museums but really what their owners will tell you is that the priceless element of all of this

is being able to fire up the engine and take them out on to the open road. back to you, kate. >> all right, nina. very fun. thank you very much. all right. we want to give you the human perspective on the crisis in syria. in the last year up to more than 2 million people have become rfks of the civil war there flooding across the borders in syria. the number exploded, mainly because of recent attack, many are fleeing into lebanon. dr. sanjay gupta is with those refugees near the syria/lebanon border on the phone right now. sanjay, can you hear us? >> reporter: i got you, chris. i got you. i am literally walking distance from the border and as you mentioned, here in lebanon there are some three-quarter million refugees that came across the border and the numbers have just been increasing. there's a lot of -- the numbers are going up in part because of the nervousness of what's happening in damascus but also tense here just across the border because we have 750,000

refugees in a country that has 3 million people so there's tensions that develop here. let me tell you really quick. i know you've been reporting on this. we're in this makeshift hospital where the sickest and most injured of these refugees are coming and this particular makeshift hospital is a mosque that was essentially taken over by people who are sympathetic to the syrian revolution, the doctor and nurses and everyone here are part of it as are the patients and fully -- there y a at capacity and figure out what they'll do if more come in. >> doc, what are you seeing in terps of injuries and what are you seeing in terms of the level of help versus the level of help available. level of need versus the level of help available. >> reporter: in terms of the injuries first, there are many patients who have had blasts or amputations, shrapnel injuries and there are about 60 patients

in this particular area where i am, many of them have suffered gunshot wounds. they are cared for and tend to get their operations at the time of their injury and transferred here or certain patients they have to have their operations where we are. in terms of need versus supplies, demand and supply, they are equipped but a lot of people, red cross and other ngos, but, again, we are in lebanon near an area that is tense. but they don't want -- they're nervous about where they're located. located about them -- themselves becoming the subject of an attack. so it's -- two different sort of things going on, trying to take care of these patients and trying not to become targets themselves. and a very delicate balance as the doctors here are telling me, chris. >> all right, sanjay, thank you for the report from there. we'll try to get your satellite up so we can have you on camera

and keep telling us what you're seeing and be safe, my friend. >> thanks. coming up next on "new day," a shocking video online. a man confesses to driving drunk and killing someone. why did he do it? why did he confess and what happens to him now? details just ahead. on a lighter note we'll show a pee wee footballer like you've never seen. much like a pro on this run to daylight. it is our must see moment on this friday.

remarkable. a 22-year-old man confesses to killing another man in a drunk driving accident this summer. he was never charged. he decided he felt the need to come clean anyway in the most public way possible. pamela brown joins us with more on this online confession. maybe a sign of the times of the social world -- social media world we're living in. >> instead of making it in court he did it online in a video that's gone viral and the man in that video is 22-year-old matthew cordle. three months ago he said he hit and killed 61-year-old vincent canzani in a wrong-way crash in ohio. he says it happened after he spent all night drinking with friends. it starts off with his face pixilated and reveals his identity. here's a clip. let's take a look. >> i killed a man. i was out with some friends, we were all drinking really heav y heavily. just hopping from bar to bar. i was trying to have a good time and i lost control.

>> my name is matthew cordle. and on june 22nd, 2013, i hit and killed vincent canzani. when i get charged i will plead guilty and take full responsibility for everything i've done to vincent and his family. i can't bring mr. canzani back and i can't erase what i've done, but can still be saved. your victims can still be saved. >> and at the end of the video appears the words make the promise to never drink and drive. a prosecutor says he was a suspect in the deadly crash but hadn't been charged. they will indict him for vehicular homicide and if he's convicted he will face a maximum of eight years in prison. meanwhile, cordle's attorney says a confession is a strong testament to his character. >> how did that come about? >> you look at the video. it looks like trfs

professionally produced. >> it does. >> you notice that. i'm not sure exactly how this happened. you know, the crash happened in june, this just was released. came to the surface yesterday but it's -- a lot of people -- i was reading the comments and a lot of people have mixed reaction to it. it's powerful. you definitely are grabbed by its attention but you do you have any sympathy for him coming out -- >> does he have any indication of why he's coming out now? was it that it was weighing on him? he wasn't charged. but a suspect but it's been out there. >> any indication of why now? >> no, at this point he's not saying why. you can assume it's because the guilt was building and also he wants to send a strong message to people not drink and drive and use his horrible experience to help others, but like i said there's been mixed reaction. people saying, look, this guy needs to be put behind bars, eight years in prison isn't enough. others saying, he's taking full responsibility.

he should be commended for that. >> does it change? >> no, the legal question, one, a big concern, it seeps he left the scene. if the prosecutors knew he was a suspect that's a big aggravating factor in the cases of there is a very high value on drinking and driving now, intoxication and use of a vehicle. and the problem is that you wind up getting people caught in these crimes that aren't usually habitual criminals. so it does drive sympathy. this person has never done anything wrong before but now a life -- their life will be forever changed so there is sympathy, however, at the end of the day it's about the victim and their family. they weren't doing anything wrong either and they're gone. this will go to sentencing. proof of your character in terms of leniency, aggravated vehicle homicide is a big charge. not uncommon and you'll have those mixed reactions but it's not like it's going to get him out of trouble. >> it could lend some leniency the fact -- >> in stejsing.

in sentencing. in sentencing. >> it's from a website because i said i would, you can see it on the bottom of the screen on the video. it's a website where people are trying to make a promise, apparently he caught it out online and was able to get this guy to come to his house and shoot the video. interesting, though. >> important message because -- people make this mistake way too often. so it's a good message to have. >> thank you so much. >> thank you. we'll change directions here. something lighter for you. must see moment you can't go through them. some people have this thought. just go over them. 11-year-old pee wee football player like you never seen. >> remember, 11. >> oh, like a hurdler from the olympics taking out the opposition and just heading for the goal line, just one defender to beat. that sixth grader elevated over the would i have be tackler to take it all the way to the end. >> one, good lesson to the kid in orange. head up when you tackle, my brother. head up when you tackle. you never know when you got a

hurdler. second, my name is chris cuomo. i'm a licensed attorney and can represent this child and this family for all the things certain to come. that's right. so get out of here. number 15. >> thank you. >> that was a good move regardless. all right, coming up next on "new day." they say a picture is worth a thousand words so we're asking an expert to break down the body language between these two men, president obama, vladimir putin, what exactly is going on there and what's going through their minds? you just wonder. >> we'll do a little storytelling behind it. plus, syria, hawk john mccain gets heckled at an arizona town hall meeting for the push for the strike. how he responded and what was driving the passion.

so as i suspect you know, this weekend will bring us our first sunday football fun day but the season officially started thursday in a big way. it was the broncos and the ravens and two words, seven tds. andy joins us with how it went down in this morning's "bleacher report." happy friday, my friend. >> happy friday to you guys, as well. peyton manning was off the chains last night. he threw seven touchdowns. that's an nfl record and fun fact, guys. he's on pace to throw 112 touchdowns this season. well, we know he's not going to do that. last night's game by the future hall of famer one for the ages.

manning only had two touchdowns in the first half and broncos trailing at the break, but in the second half, he was absolutely on fire. count them, he threw five more touchdowns to lead denver to the 49/27 win. manning, just the sixth quarterback to ever throw seven touchdowns in a game. first to do it since 1969. not depending on what kind of fantasy football league you play if you play it, manning scored somewhere between 45 and 70 points so if you have him on your team you're pretty much guaranteed a win. if you're playing against him like me you're likely going to start the season off with a loss. kansas city chiefs guys threw only eight touchdown passes all of last season. peyton manning threw seven in the first game. setting the bar pet high for the rest of the quarterbacks in the league. >> and for himself. >> playing against the ravens, one of the most storied defenses in the league right now. >> yeah, worst loss ever for a

defending super bowl champion in the opening week. >> and they were wondering if peyton was going to be able to come back and be 100%. >> true. >> after the injury. hello! >> kate, how do you feel about that now that your colts don't have him anymore? >> i feel mixed emotions. i appreciate the question. i have been thinking about it a lot since i found out about this victory. i have a number 18 colts jersey. i will still wear it but peyton manning is still close in my heart and now may also be a broncos fan, i'm not sure. >> really? where is your spine, woman? >> i can be -- >> i mean, she just sank into the chair like the jelly she is. >> andy, why did you set this -- this is like a marital spat now. >> stick with your team. i'm doing the universal sign for distress. shuffling the papers. >> andy, have a good weekend. i hope your team loses. >> see. see. >> look at that sad face.

grumpy cat face. >> oh, andy. >> see you later. i'm making zero friends today. >> i'm taking it from you. almost the top of the hour. top news right now. >> there is no more important vote than a member of congress will cast than this. breaking overnight fears of retaliation. a new report that iran is planning attacks on u.s. interests if there's a strike on syria. while in congress, many wondering if the president's plan is losing support. we're tracking it all. dangerous disease. outbreaks of whooping cough across the u.s. in texas alone, thousands sickened. two infants dead. what you need to know. under fire, the judge behind that controversial light sentence of the teacher who raped his student now says he's going to change it. is it too late? our reporter chases him down. your "new day" starts right now.

>> what you need to know. >> she's beautiful. hopefully he'll get justice. >> what you just have to see. >> from the second that she was born we were all kind of like, oh, they're cute. >> we said we would. >> come on, girl. >> this is "new day" with chris cuomo, kate bolduan and michaela pereira. >> good morning. happy friday. welcome back to "new day." it is september 6th, 7:00 in the east covering a lot this morning including breaking developments in the syrian crisis. right now, president obama is in russia for the g-20 summit lobbying world leaders to strike. but he is losing support at home. so will he take his case directly to you, the american people? meanwhile, let's remember for a minute that this is all about the innocence on the ground and the pain there. that's what started this dialogue. we have dr. sanjay gupta live on the ground with syrian refugees

looking at the very real consequences of that civil war. >> yeah, also this morning looking at george zimmerman in the spotlight. his wife filing for divorce two months after he was acquitted in trayvon martin's murder. what drove them apart? and why does he keep on getting in trouble with the law ever since that acquittal? his lawyer mark o'meara will join us. they noticed a woman formed the words "help me." she was abducted at gunpoint. we will speak live with one of those young heroes coming up. first this hour, the white house applying the full-court press for a military strike against syria. if president obama ultimately decides to use force against the assad regime we're getting a much clearer picture of what it might look like and the possible repercussions of it all. covering the story like no other network can so chris lawrence live at the pentagon this morning. good morning, chris.

>> reporter: hey, kate, yeah, this morning a u.s. embassy is on alert. the wall street ideal is reporting that the u.s. has intercepted communication, iran ordering militants in iraq to attack the u.s. embassy in baghdad and american there is in iraq. i've been at that embassy when it was shelled by mortars and attacked by other weapons. it is a fortress but the state department has reissued another warning to americans who are living outside that compound. the report says, this attack would be retaliation. only if the u.s. conducts an air strike on syria. and we're learning new information there, as well. a u.s. official is telling me that basically one of the options now being considered are air strikes involving long-range bombers. these would be american pilots, possibly flying directly from bases right here in the u.s. but we're told they would stay well out of syrian airspace using long-range standoff

missiles similar to what the ships and submarines in the med can already do. chris? >> all right, chris, thank you for the reporting. the g-20 economic summit is wrapping up this morning in st. petersburg, russia, the final chance for president obama to lobby world leaders all in one place. now, they find themselves in the awkward position of having to choose sides. obama or putin when it comes to syria. brianna keilar is with the president in russia. >> reporter: now, all of the world leaders here last night had a dinner last night. it lasted a very long time. four hours and following that dinner, we heard from australia's foreign minister who said that the world leaders really stated their position on what they thought on syria and also backed up what we heard from russia's press secretary, which was they were divided down the middle. not necessarily on responding to syria, syria's alleged use of chemical weapons but whether to work through the u.n. something that the u.s.

government feels is fruitless because of russia and china's ability to have a veto on the security council. >> all right, brianna, thanks so much for that. back here at home it appears obama -- president obama is losing support in congress for a military strike on syria. at least losing momentum. cnn's latest vote tally indicating if there was a vote today in the house, the president's petition for action wouldn't pass. at this point there's nearly four no votes to every yes vote among representatives in the house. that is among the blowback from constituents back home who aren't convinced. dana bash is live on capitol hill this morning with more. good morning, dana. >> reporter: good morning, kate. well, we have seen an unprecedented lobbying effort by the white house despite that and the fact that in a bipartisan way, congressional leaders are behind striking syria. there are so many, as you mentioned, undecided lawmakers and the momentum that the president looked like he had earlier in the week has really stalled. now, talking to many lawmakers on both sides of the aisle there are lots of reasons for that,

not the least of which is that the opposition they're hearing from the people who sent them here. >> we sent you to stop the war. >> reporter: for undecided lawmakers watching what happened to pro-syria bombing senator john mccain back home is a cautionary tale. >> this is what i think of congress. they are a bunch of marshmallows. [ applause ] why are you not listening to the people and staying out of syria? it's not our fight. >> reporter: even for a town hall veteran like mccain, this was rough. >> we cannot afford to turn syria into another iraq. or afghanistan. i beg you. >> reporter: lawmakers are hearing that kind of opposition all across the country. it's part of the reason even the president's most loyal supporters like members of the black caucus are very wary of authorizing a strike. >> of course, a large number of them say we don't want you to go to war. >> reporter: a house democratic leadership source insists to cnn the majority of lawmakers are

still persuadable because they have not yet been briefed. the problem for the president is how many especially fellow democrats are reluctant even after attending classified briefings intended to persuade them. >> where are our allies and what will they do? i know 37 nations said they would support us, but what does support mean? >> reporter: democrat tulsi gabbert is a combat veteran of the iraq war. >> we've seen firsthand the extreme cost of war both overseas as well as here at home is something that is giving me a unique perspective but great pause. >> reporter: she is like many who don't question whether bashar al assad used chemical weapons, but do question obama officials' ability to answer key questions in public or private about military contingencies after the u.s. bombs like what if assad fines a way to use chemical weapons again? >> do we strike again? well, that's the definition of

further entanglement. that's the definition of our becoming deeply involved in a war. >> reporter: now, many undecided lawmakers who i've talked to say they are doing their homework. many attending more than one classified briefing seeking out information on their own from military officials and so forth. many also say they are really hoping that a presidential prime time address which we expect likely in the next few days might help them and maybe more importantly their constituents who are calling and urging them in a large majority to vote no. chris? >> all right, dana, thank you. let's try to get you more information about which way this seems to be going in congress and bring in john king. john, reports that we're hearing about the white house potentially anticipating a larger scale attack than we've heard so far. reports that they inter-september a message from iran to attack u.s. interests if there's an attack on syria. what are you hearing about what this means to lawmakers? >> reporter: well, as dana noted

the momentum the president had when the leadership came out, most of them earlier has stalled dramatically in part because you hear from democrats and hear from republicans and people more in the middle that nobody back home supports this and to your point about the messages from iran, what you get there is skepticism again why are we going to get involved in the middle east? when is the last time we were involved and able to do it quickly, efficiently and effectively. not only do lawmakers have those questions and saying even after these briefings, some of them, they're not getting answers they like but that's what they're facing back home. as i said earlier in the program a top republican leadership aid trying to help the president tells me this morning, i'd be floored if it passes to change this dynamic, the president, the president is going to have to do it including it'll be very interesting to hear what we hear from the president in russia and back home. >> are you hearing any plans for a major address? so many need information. >> reporter: secretary kerry said himself during the

congressional hearings he expects the president to address the american people relatively soon. we don't have anything scheduled but some members of congress said he should talk to a joint session, the more likely approach we are told from administration officials is an oval office address. look, they understand this. part of the president's problem here is to help change the tide here at home if he had a big show of support on the global stage, that might help and he's not getting that either. >> didn't seem to go that way during the g-20. that's for sure, john. what do you hear about what happens if it doesn't pass? any word out of the white house he would go it alone? >> they've been careful to not answer directly because they know that would offend many members of congress asking us to take this tough vote if you won't be bound by it. watch what the president says today. it will be telling to see if his language changes. at his last press conference he said we must act. he said we must act. so the belief is among members of congress and the belief if you talk privately to

administration officials is the president has made his decision. he wants congress' support. if he backs down now, boy, the questions about here at home and around the world would accelerate dramatically. the last time the president spoke he didn't answer directly but on record saying "we must act" the. >> question is what does the word act mean. john, thanks. sometimes being a leader, hard the decisions you have to make where you choose what not to do. kate, back to you. >> chris, thank you. an important health alert. thousands of people have become sick with whooping cough. several states are experiencing an outbreak. in texas two babies have died from the iness where it's now there become an epidemic. what is behind the spike? elizabeth cohen is at the cnn center looking into it. good morning. >> goort, kate. we have a perfect storm right now for whooping cough. kids are going back to school. so once again they're in close quarters. and you have a vaccine that wanes with time. the awful sound of whooping

cough. a brutal cough that can last for months. a potentially fatal illness especially for babies and young children who haven't had a chance to get all their shots yet. >> they may have spells of apnea where they stop breathing. one to two out of a hundred can die from this. >> reporter: 16 states are seeing an increase in cases compared to this time last year. more than 2,000 cases so far in texas alone. claiming the lives of two babies. the state is on course to have its worst whooping cough outbreak in over 50 years. officials this week issuing a health alert warning texans that vaccinations are vital. but the effectiveness of the whooping cough vaccine fades quickly. by age 11 only seven out of ten kids are still fully protected. that's why the centers for disease control recommends a booster shot for preteens to protect themselves and any babies they could unwittingly

infect. such scary news for parents to be hearing this morning. >> as you mentioned kids are all heading back to school at this moment. so what should parents be looking out for? >> reporter: you want to look out for a violent coughing fit. you won't necessarily hear that whooping sound. if they're having them and they are exhausted afterwards that's a sign you should take them to the doctor and ask about whooping cough. >> elizabeth, thanks so much. important news this morning. talk to you soon. we want to get you more of what's developing. right to michaela pereira. mic. >> the headlines at this hour. seven suspected militants dead. others injured by u.s. drone strikes in pakistan. government officials say the drone fired two missiles striking a house in the tribal region of north waziristan. that area in the mountains near the afghan border is home to both foreign and pakistani militants. today's strike the 20th deadly attack carried out by u.s. drones in pakistan this year. egypt's government denying reports that it has decided to dissolve the muslim brotherhood

treatment, no cure and standard sterilization procedures do not eliminate all traces of that disease from medical equipment. alyssa milano's sex tape, it seems like it's going to be that way. featuring a guy in a hotel wearing next to nothing. instead of capturing the action the camera turns to focus on a newsman giving what amounts to a history lesson on syria's civil war and why we should pay attention and care about the situation that is going on in that nation. trickery, but it informs -- like the old candy bar for vegetable with the bait and switch routine. >> what was going on in that little mirror? see the second mirror there? >> no. >> did you check out the video? s>> no. >> i like being provoke tiff and pushing it with these things if it gets people to focus on what matter. >> and if it gets another group of people who might not turn on

judge baugh set a new hearing for this afternoon that hopes to turn back the clock. last week he sentenced teacher stacey rambold to just 30 days in jail for raping his 14-year-old student. at sentencing the judge said the victim seemed older than her chronological age. she committed suicide before rambold's case went to trial. judge baugh's one-month sentence spark sparked anger. he won't talk to us. but at today's hearing he's indicated he will sentence rambold to two year, not 30 days. >> he's seeking to correct that. >> reporter: so he is trying to fix an error on his part? >> yes, that's what the order indicates to me. >> reporter: but he's too late say filings from the prosecutor, even the defense. they want the hearing canceled. the case has been appealed to the state supreme court through this legal fighting charisse's mother says what's being lost,

a woman telling us live how it unfolded. lots to talk about with that story. first to michaela for the top news. thanks so much. the u.s. is now bracing for reprisals from iran following a possible military strike in syria. "the wall street journal" saying they intercepted communications that ordered militants into iraq -- in iraq rather to attack american targets in baghdad should the u.s. attack syria. officials tell "the wall street journal" the u.s. has assets ready to respond in case of such prerisals. despite an unprecedented lobbying effort by the president support in congress for a strike in syria appears to be waning. fellow many dids say they doubt the use of force resolution can pass in the house and most americans appear to be against it. president obama meanwhile, poised to answer tough questioning about syria. he's expected to hold a news conference in russia later this morning. russia's vladimir putin and other world leaders at the g-20 have been ratcheting up pressure

on the president. majority of them closer to putin's stance than a military strike in syria would be a bad idea. a new york city teenager is dead killed by his own radio controlled helicopter. 19-year-old roman piroczak was flying it in brooklyn when he was struck in the head. initial police reports suggest that he was killed by the chopper's blade. this was no toy. these kind of helicopters have wingspans of 4 1/2 feet and can go as fast as 60 miles an hour. chobani recalling many of its yogurt cups and people have been getting sick after eating it. it affects 91 varieties. one week of them bloating and expanding on store shelves. real special story here. a group of national guard members who served together in afghanistan have been reunited with their best friends. sheba and her seven puppies.

the border here between syria and lebanon and as you mentioned, many refugees about three-quarters of a million refugees have ended up in lebanon. many in this particular area. and the numbers have increased just over the last few weeks. people concerned, obviously, about what might happen in damascus and people concerned here. we're in the sort of makeshift clinic. this used to be a mosque. people who have sympathetic to the syrian revolution have sort of taken over this mosque. the doctors, the medical staff and all the patients over here, let's come in here for a second and take a look. this is how they set things up. patient back there, obviously, covering his face. these are people who are sympathetic again to the syrian revolution but they're trying to take care of patients in a place like this. now, if the people come in as part of -- as a refugee, if they are sick, if they are in bad shape the patients have had amputations, gunshot wounds then they end up in a place like this, kate. >> i mean amputation, gunshot wounds, these are serious

injuries that need serious medical attention. are they getting that critical care in this area that they obvious need? >> reporter: it's challenging to be fair. you know, one is the challenge of finding the structures. in this case you had an area, small town that's sympathetic, if you will to people of the syrian revolution. that's how they described it to me but you also have some supplies coming in. i've been speaking to the doctors here and they say they're quite nervous about the fact that they are sort of getting close to capacity now and they don't have enough supply, enough manpower, enough space if more injured people come over the border. so the other part of the story is they're concerned about their own safety. they're in lebanon in an area sympathetic to people of the syrian revolution but don't want us showing the outside of the building because they believe they could become part of the attack and need the care that they're trying to provide.

so it's challenging to be sure, kate. >> all right, sanjay, thank you so much for bringing that report. be safe yourself. it clearly is the untold story of this two years' long civil war at this point. i was just looking. the number of displaced syrians now equal almost equal to one-third of the country's population. if you can even put it in perspective of what that means for these people fleeing the country. >> many believe it will only get worse. it's an important reminder of what started this dialogue that now has become really just a national preoccupation in the united states and a dialogue around the world. now, the other part of this, there's a humanity and the politics so we'll talk about a moment lasted all of seven seconds but each one will be scrutinized greatly. at issue the handshake between before barack obama and vladimir putin. we'll have a body language expert who tells us who got the upper hand. >> as obama gets out of the car he leads with a handshake and he

does this two to three seconds before he's in handshake position. the person who ex-steps a hand first is usually seen as the power person. as he gets closer to putin he leans in and this is also a power play. he leans in and leans forward. this is a dominant move because he's much taller so what he's doing is getting into putin's personal zone and somewhat intim daying him but he's also very charismatic. this is a general baseline for him. we know he does this constantly. get people to like him so he wants to build rapport. putin pulls back. when you see someone pulling back. what you recognize is they're submissive. once the handshake is over what you notice is obama tills his body and putin tilts his body and completely out of sync so you recognize there's no rapport. as he walks away putin looks down once again a submissive gesture. here you recognize there is an enormous amount of tension between the two. if we look back at their meeting in june you see a really big difference. why, at that point both of them

showed so much tension and so much outward frustration that not only were they leaning away from each other, their bodies were angled away from each other. they weren't even holding eye contact. you could tell these two don't care for one another and they're not afraid to show it. so if we take the june meeting and we compare it to this meeting, what have we learned? do they like each other better? absolutely not. the difference is the two of them have learned to have a better poker face. >> body language expert tonya reiman did that for us. can you dismiss it out of hand. many would. but no pun intended but the handshake, i'll take any insight into the situation i can get because this relationship is fundamental and this situation ain't going forward. >> what tonya is saying and what we're seeing their body language is matching what we're hearing publicly is that they're clearly frustrated. we know that the relationship is frozen. we know those two men have said things in public and probably in private that makes the relationship not any better. >> very often it's not what you

say it's how you ago, right? and i think it's pretty fascinating >> that's where the line comes acti actions louder then words. >> yours stiff and short. i'm leaning in. coming up next on "new day," listen to that video. you hear that. a florida man shooting and killing two of his neighbors if you can believe it. police say it was an ambush but his lawyer is standing your ground law to try to defend him. we'll talk about this with headline cnn's newest legal analyst mark o'mara who knows that well. some extraordinary texas teens who knew there was something wrong when they saw a woman stopped in traffic? why? you'll find out and trust their guts and what they do next is getting them called heroes. we'll tell you the whole story.

welcome back to "new day."

new controversy over florida's stand your ground law. a man is accused of killing two people and wounding a third at a labor day barbecue. police call it an ambush. his lawyers say stand your ground and the bush doctrine are on his side. what's going on? pamela brown is joining us now for more on this. >> it's a little bit shocking for some people to hear. this is the defense in this case. the suspect says he preemptively killed his neighbors because he feared for his life. the shooting took place one year ago but this week his lawyers filed a motion that all charges be dropped under florida's stand your ground law and that's not all. his legal counsel also cites the bush doctrine which was used as justification for the preemptive war in iraq. preyed upon, harassed and tormented, that's the justification combat veteran william woodward gave for opening fire on his neighbors. killing two of them during a labor day barbecue last year according to his lawyers. counsel for the florida man

filed a new motion this week to have all the charges dropped. arguing florida's stand your ground law as a defense. >> when you're facing imminent violence you're allowed to act. >> reporter: this 2012 surveillance video you can see woodward sneaking up on his neighbors. firing 31 rounds according to reports. woodward killed two men, a third man was hit 11 times but survived. woodward told police he felt like he was living in a war zone. >> tormented for the last month by these people. they just made our life a living hell. >> reporter: he sowing the help of law enforcement who did nothing and that he endured months of death threats including threats to sodomize and gang rape his then 12-year-old daughter. >> when people engage in this type of behavior they can hardly be surprised if someone takes them seriously. >> reporter: the controversial stand your ground law was first brought to national attention in the high-profile florida case of george zimmerman. acquitted for killing trayvon

martin. although the law was not argued during zimmerman's trial woodward's lawyers tend to argue not only stand your ground but also that the shooting was justified under the same principles that justified president bush's preemptive war with iraq. citing the bush doctrine. >> if you apply that definition of imminent danger to mr mrmr. woo mr. woodward's situation then you can claim that. >> reporter: he is charged with first degree murder in the attempted murder of the man shot 11 times and survived. what constitutes imminent threat? >> the bush doctrine throws us a curveball. let's bring in mark o'mara. mark is a criminal defense attorney, of course, in the state of florida. familiar with you he knows the stand your ground law and also remember him from the zimmerman trial. welcome to the team. great to have you. >> great to be here. >> stand your ground. this part we understand. general definition, no need to

retreat before using deadly force. can even strike first against imminent death. >> correct. >> does this case size up. >> we have to know all the facts before we decide but knowing what we know now it doesn't seem to match at all. you can't put yourself in a situation where you have to use deadly force and say i'm in reasonable fear. the imminent reasonable fear has to occur not by your own doing. >> so it has to be a situation and if it is of your own doing then the analysis changes how? >> well, because you can't get the benefit of the statute. you can't put yourself in danger intentionally and then say i want to use the stand your ground or any self-defense statute to give yourself a defense. it doesn't apply. >> then it just becomes in the final moment of crisis are you going to die. that doesn't apply because nothing ever happened. >> you can't say i thought i was in reasonable fear so i went after somebody when he had so many other alternatives. literally leave, call the cops, anything like that. you can't walk into somebody's backyard and say i heard they may get to me and act out.

>> so the way it works in florida, you're supposed to have i hearing before a trial to see if there will be one because stand your ground will excuse that act. you don't think they get the protection in the trial. >> if you truly acted reasonably you shouldn't have to face the jury. a judge can look at it and say you've acted reasonably, your fear was reasonable and the threat was imminent so you don't need to go to trial. that's really a good idea and i like the idea of having a free trial hearing so in this case if they are able to convince this judge the fear was reasonable and imminent then they'll be let go. my thought is with the facts of this case i don't even know what the bush doctrine is by the way in criminal law. this doesn't apply. >> now, the bush doctrine raises suspicion because it seems as though they're throwing things up against the wall and weakens the proposition, doesn't it? >> might be a good sound bite to say i acted preemptively because i thought i would be attacked which is the bush doctrine according to the -- >> it's the bush doctrine of politics. we're using the word "doctrine"

loosely. it doesn't exist in the law. >> doesn't exist, doesn't apply and be careful diluting what they'll try to argue by throwing out a nice sound-bite. >> to clarify a point that has kind of -- it has bothered all through the george zimmerman situation. was the george zimmerman trial a stand your ground trial? >> absolutely not. >> was that the basis for the acquittal in that case? >> absolutely not. >> then why do so many think that's what it was about. >> they misinterpreted the statute. what happened way in the beginning someone called it a stand your ground law or case and never changed. that's why way in the beginning i said it's not a stand your ground trial. it should be used at the far end of the spectrum when you have an opportunity to retreat and the law says you don't have to. in the zimmerman case he never had an opportunity to retreat. it was never stand your ground. >> this is the fact it wasn't a stand your ground case, wasn't -- >> it wasn't argued by the state. it wasn't argued by the defense

and though exists, those exist in the jury instruction because they have to it was never even talked about in closing arguments. >> important clarification. now, staying with zimmerman. we hear about the divorce, rumors about this. shellie herself seemed to be suggesting it when she was interviewed. what do you know? >> i just -- it's a private matter that i think should stay private. it's sad that the situation that existed for 16 months of being in the public eye has caused another, you know, destruction of a relationship like that. we know there's been so many damage caused to the whole family. i hope they can work through it in private the way most can handle their divorces. >> you talk about in private. the idea whether it's an option. the word of arrests to you is this about being in the spotlight or is there any cause for concern about his behavior, he's been stopped for speeding a couple of times. >> he has. i speed, as well. you know, if i had gone through what george zimmerman had gone through the past 16 months i could -- i'd be able to explain away almost any of my behavior. a couple of speeding ticks i

don't think should concern anybody. it would be nice he could move on in some form or fashion. i don't think that will ever happen and, quite honestly i feel very bad for him for what he's gone through. i can't imagine living in fear and in hiding for 16 months. >> well, thank you very much for the perspective. great to start you off here on "new day." but, remember, now that you're on the team you can't give me that look anymore that shows how dumb my questions were. >> no, no, great questions. >> you have to fake it. say it's a good question when it isn'ts. mark o'mara. good luck to you. coming up next a 10-year-old new mexico boy is accused of murdering his father. he's now 14 years old and facing trial. we'll hear from the boy and his mother. it's a "new day" exclusive you don't want to miss. also some teenagers are being hailed as heroes for getting involved when they saw a woman who appeared to be in trouble in her car. you'll hear from one of them and their 911 call that could have saved her life. ♪

this is "new day" with chris cuomo, kate bolduan and michaela periera. >> good morning, welcome back to "new day" everyone. friday, september 6 lth and 8:0 in the east. president obama is wrapping up his trip in russia. trying to get support for world leaders from a strike against syria but with lawmakers back here at home and the public backing away from the plan in the u.s. is his real fight more here at home than it is even abroad? we'll talk with ohio congressman mike turner, republican sitting on the house arms services committee about the big decision and vote he has coming up. we have a story that is mind blowing this morning. a 10-year-old boy charged with first degree murder. prosecutors say he killed his father on purpose. the word why hangs over this story. starting with why the boy says he did it. we're going to talk to him. he's now 14 and his mother is there. a new exclusive right here on

"new day." >> we want to show you an amazing view. look at this, never before seen video from the cockpit of virgin galactic spaceship ii. you want a ticket to ride? $200,000. we'll take you virtually for free. starting off this hour, president obama relentless in his pursuit of a military strike against syria. right now, he is in russia for the g-20 summit trying to drum up support, international support. but world leaders there and lawmakers here at home are not necessarily onboard with using force against the assad regime. for the first time this morning, we're going to get a clear picture of what a large-scale air offensive against damascus might look like. an offensive that could trigger attacks against u.s. interests. that's one of the risks here and one of the big concerns. we're covering this story like no other network can. let's start off this hour with chris lawrence live at the pentagon. good morning, chris. >> good morning, kate. this morning there's a u.s. embassy on full alert. the u.s., the "wall street

journal" is reporting that the u.s. intercepted a communication. iran ordering militants in iraq to attack the u.s. embassy in baghdad and other americans there. i have been to that embassy when it was being shelled by mortars and other weapons. it is a fortress. but the state department is issuing another warning to americans who are living and working outside of that compound. the report says that this would come in retaliation. only if the u.s. strikes syria. and we're also learning new information about what that strike might entail. u.s. officials saying that air strikes, including long-range bombers may be one of the options under consideration now. that would mean american pilots, possibly flying directly from bases right here in the united states. but i'm told they would probably not enter syrian air space. these bombers would stay out and they would use long range missiles to strike targets on

the ground. the official says things on the ground have been changing. they have updated their target list and he thinks those targets are going to continue to change. chris? >> chris lawrence, thank you for the reporting this morning. now, here at home, even with a major push from the white house and the support of congressional leaders, most rank and file lawmakers remain unconvinced that a strike on syria is the way to go. our chief congressional correspondent dana bash is following all developments and live on capitol hill. good morning, dana. >> good morning, chris. senior congressional aide tells me that the list they're looking at. where members of the senate stand show that it is completely up in the air and it could go any way and this is the democratic-led senate and it shows that the moment um that w saw earlier in the week has stalled and it is, for lots of reasons, but not the least of which is the opposition that people are hearing from their constituents back home.

>> we sent you to stop a war. >> for undecided lawmakers watching what happens to pro bombing syria senator john mccain back home is a cautionary tale. >> this is what i think of congress. they are a bunch of marshmallows. why are you not listening to the people and staying out of syria. it's not our fight. >> even for a town hall veteran like mccain, this was rough. >> we cannot afford to turn syria into another iraq. or afghanistan. i beg you. >> reporter: lawmakers are hearing that kind of opposition all across the country. it's part of the reason even the president's most loyal supporters, like members of the black caucus are very wary of authorizing a strike. >> a large number of them that they don't want you to go to war. >> reporter: a house democratic leadership source insists to cnn the majority of lawmakers are still persuadable because they have not yet been briefed. the problem for the president is

how many, especially fellow democrats, are reluctant even after attending classified briefings intended to persuade them. >> our allies and what will they do? i know that 37 nations have said that they would support us, but what does support mean? >> reporter: democrat tulsy is a combat veteran of the iraq war. >> we've seen first hand the extreme costs of war both overseas, as well as here at home is something that is giving me a unique perspective, but great cause. >> reporter: question why assad used chemical weapons, but do question obama officials ability to answer key questions in public or private about military contingencies after the u.s. bombs. like what if assad finds a way to use chemical weapons, again. >> do we strike again? well, that's the definition of further engtanglement. that's the definition of our becoming deeply involved in a

war. >> now, there will be yet more classified briefings for members of congress to go in, hear from administration officials, see the intelligence and ask questions about the thing that, again, most members of congress say that they're still having questions about. which is what exactly is the military strategy. a lot of doned issed members, kate, say they're attending one, two, even three briefings to get answers and they still say they need something else. a primetime address that we understand is going to happen in the next few days. they say could help not only with them, but with their constituents who are calling them and saying, don't do this. >> a huge decision for every member of congress to be sure. dana, thank you so much for that. let's continue the conversation now with congressman who is planning to vote no on an american syrian strike. mike turner, republican from ohio, and a member of the very important house armed services committee. congressman turner, thank you so much for joining me this morning. >> thank you for having me. >> of course. . so, you announced you were

opposed to u.s. military action in syria in the simplest terms possible, why? >> well, i have been briefed and i can tell you that the president has no strategy. he cannot tell us who we are for. he and not tell us the risks and also he has an unexplainable policy with his imaginary red line. but even more importantly, he has shown no leadership in trying to set aside his sequesteration that is having devastating impacts and sequestration continues to put pressure, the president wants to take us into this conflict. >> there are many reasons for concern. everyone knows this is a very difficult decision for everyone involved. president on down to you. there are good reasons for concern. a risk of going in, not being able to get out. the risk that it will not deter assad in further action. a risk that there will be retaliation for it. but is the sequester to force budget cuts really a good reason to vote no? >> well, you know, multiple reasons, but, certainly, that is

a cornerstone of the lack of leadership from the president. while the department of defense under cuts that the president has called for and i have opposed. men and women in uniform are paying the price. >> does that mean that you think the u.s. -- >> we don't know who we are for. >> but on the sequester question, i want to button this up. you don't think that the u.s. is capable of this military action? >> we are certainly capable, but certainly not the right thing to do. if the president shows leadership, let's fully fund the department of defense. when you look at your imaginary red line that he declared. he could have called for a red line and galvanized the international community. galvanized congress and the united states and the american public. but instead declaring it and trying to go back and get support, he just hasn't done his homework. >> house speaker john boehner, your leader, he supports military action. he came out and was very rare for him to come out so forcefully so early on to show support. we have enemies around the world that need to understand that we

are not going to tolerate this kind of behavior. the use of weapons have to be responded to and only the u.s. has the capability to stop assad and warn others. are your house leaders wrong, do you think? >> well, i think the president's wrong. i think his policy is unexplainable. when you look at the president's policy -- >> what about your house leaders who support this policy? >> assad has killed over 100,000 people and the president has said that that's permissible. but he can't use chemical weapons, but he can if he only kills a number of people. that's actionable, but not his red line, but international community red line. it is one i will not support. >> what do you say to house speaker and those who are supporting it? >> looking to the president as commander in chief and i think in that role, they probably feel an obligation to support them. i think they'll, however, if you look at the policies that we don't know who we are for and we

don't understand the risk and the president has even walked back from his own red line and the fact that the president has ignored the effects of sequestration on our military. let's go into a conflict with syria. >> you say you have been briefed and there is a limited amount of time, a window left because the senate will be voting and we assume the house will be voting, as well. is there anything more you could learn, do you think, congressman, that could sway your vote at this point? >> well, i think the president has to get his homework done. he has to get the international community behind him and that is going to be a process that is really going to take some time. i don't think there is any additional information we're going to find out, i think the president does need to hone his policy. it makes no sense to say that assad can use chemical weapons in a limited way but if it kills a large number of people, that's actionable. clearly the president needs to either embrace his red line that he has declared and get the international community behind it or, you know, come to the american people and articulate

another reason why we have national interest in this conflict that he wants to draw us into. >> i want to button it up with this. on the flip side of the argument, you heard it from john mccain and he has been very public about this. inaction at this point will give a green light to assad and other leaders to use outlawed weapons. that it would, that it would also mean that the u.s.'s word doesn't need to be taken seriously any more. do you see that argument? >> i think, certainly, that the actionable item needs to be that the president of the united states needs to work with the international community to make the international standard of the prohibition of use of chemical weapons to have meaning. doesn't mean that we take the united states and draw us into this conflict. the president needs to do his homework, show leadership, pull the international community together and also explain to the american public what is our national interest. also, he needs to get working on

his own sequestration and honor our men and women in uniform. >> what i'm hearing from you, congressmen, a lot riding on any oval office speech that the president will be making in the coming days. congressman mike turning, thank you for joining us. we'll see you back in washington. >> thank you. a lot of news developing at this hour, let's get straight to mu ka michaela for the headlines. >> nonessential personnel and their family members to leave the u.s. embassy in beirut, lebanon. and family members at the u.s. consulate in turkey, which is very close to the syrian border can choose to leave if they choose. an official tells cnn that this measure is being taken out of an abundance of caution because of the situation in syria and potential threats there. seven suspected militants, meanwhile, killed by a u.s. drone strike in pakistan. military says the drone fired two missiles at the house off the pakistan, afghanistan border burning it to the ground. 20th deadly missile attack

>> yes. >> ms. berry, i want to start with you. in these situations parents often shelter their kids. they don't want them in the spotlight. you believe you have to speak out, why? >> i don't want this happening again to someone else. you hear too many horror stories out there and i feel like my son has unjustly been wronged. >> when you say this, what do you mean by this? how was he unjustly wronged? >> all the abuse that he suffered that his brother and sister suffered all those years. >> i want to talk to you about that. i want to ask you about that, but, first, ben, i know you just heard the 911 call there. i saw you listening to it. >> that's the first time you ever heard it, am i right? >> yes. >> do you remember that little boy? do you remember who he was and

what was going through his head? >> not very well. >> when you hear it, what do you think? it's a tough question, right? >> yeah. it's been a while. >> your mother's talking about the abuse. you've talked about it. you say that's what was going through your head. that is what was making you act the way you did that day. tell me about it. what was the abuse? >> depending on which -- >> i know it's tough for you to talk about, ben. i know ms. berry, your son believes he was protecting his younger sister and brother that

day. give me the back story here so we understand what motivated this terrible act that day. >> ben or myself? >> you, ms. berry, please. >> there was abuse in the home. my ex-husband, their father, would hit them, kick them with steel toe boots on. if they were on the ground, he'd continue to kick them. there were numerous things that he did that just shouldn't have happened. >> help me understand this, ms. berry. the prosecutors say that people didn't come forward with proof of this. they looked into the allegations. that the allegations had reports but nothing to substantiate it. you take issue with that and

with the agency, why? >> because there were nurses, counselors, countless people making phone calls on the abuse, including myself. but nothing was ever done. they saw the bruises. they saw the black eyes. yet, nothing was ever done. >> how do you explain it? >> how do i explain it? that's a small town and a small community. everybody knows everyone. >> are you worried about what happens if this trial goes forward and your son is convicted? even though it is juvenile, this will be with him. this is how he will be seen by the system for years to come and who knows what will happen in the future. what is your concern about that? >> i don't want his life ruined. over all of this. i will continue to fight for my

son until there is no breath left in me, if i have to. >> ben, i guess you've gotten to see how much your mother loves you over the last few years, right? >> right. >> you trying to figure out what you want to do with the rest of your life, once this is behind you? >> yeah. i've already decided. >> what do you want to do? >> i want to be a librarian. i belong with books and dust. >> books and dust. i don't think i've ever heard any teenager ever say that before. you're being home schooled because the situation got too difficult for you at school after this happened, right? >> yeah. >> so the trial is going to come now, ms. berry. do you think if is going to

happen. there is still a chance legally, right, that the judge could find that the evidence wasn't there for a trial to go forward, specifically the 911 call. do you think it's going to happen and do you think the state of new mexico will try your son for premeditated murder for something he did at 10 years of age? >> legally, i don't think they can. >> but if -- >> they've been trying. they haven't been able to. >> but if it goes forward, you'll be there and you'll have to deal with what comes, right? >> yes. >> we'll be watching this trial. i know this is difficult to talk about, ben. but it's a lot of big questions here for people to think about in terms of what's happening to you and what it will mean for others. so, ben, thank you for toughing it out with me this morning. i appreciate that. >> okay. >> and ms. berry, thank you. i know this isn't easy for you either. a lot of mixed emotions here. thank you and stay in touch with us if it goes forward to trial, okay? >> thank you.

>> kate, over to you. all right, chris, thanks so much. breaking news. the monthly jobs numbers just in. alison kosik with the headlines. what are we hearing? >> finding out that 169,000 jobs were added during the month of august. that came in lower than expected. the expected was $185,000. the unemployment rate dipped to 7.3%. you would think that is good news. you look deeper into the numbers and you realize what's behind that dip. that dip happening because 312,000 people dropped out of the labor force. they essentially gave up looking for work out of frustration or not being able to find a job. that's not really the right reason that you want to see for the unemployment rate falling. this happens to be the lowest level for the number of people who are looking for jobs. the lowest level since 1978. so, what this is essentially going to do because what's been happening here is the federal reserve is really pinning its decision on whether or not to scale back it stimulus that it

has been pouring into the financial decision. pinning on the jobs numbers, especially the august jobs number. what this is essentially going to do, it's going to create a big question mark for the fed. is this strong enough for the fed to pull back on the stimulus. i'm getting one analyst quote here who says that this report is demoralizing to the unemployed. if that's the way they think -- >> hitting on the concern that a lot of people have, you can't make too much of one month's job report, but it's looking at that trend that seems to be trouble. >> exactly. you look at from july to august, the number didn't move much. just treading water. >> thank you very much. breaking news for you this morning. >> also marks the five-year anniversary since lehman fell and we had had the bottom of the situation, december '08. lowest numbers since then. alison, thank you. next up on "new day" here we had tough headlines in the news lately. this could have been one of them, but, no, these two jung fellows couple brave teens out

i had this problem for one week, but these kids had these problems for their whole lives. i am trying to help students around the world see better. >> hi. >> brought some glasses for you. >> millions of glasses that are discarded annually in north america alone. why not put them into use? when i was 14 i started reaching out to local optometrist and made collection boxes in their offices. worked with other organizations and then they distributed the glass. the other way we distribute glasses is by going on clinic trips. watching someone get glasses the first time. just really inspiring. to date we've collected and distributed over $425,000 worth of eyeglasses which is equivalent to 9,000 pairs. i have made a difference. i think anyone can do that. just about being motivated and going out there and just doing

phone and in pursuit of the suspect, charles atkins lewis jr. >> i think he is going to try to confuse me. >> reporter: they followed atkins until the 25-year-old woman was finally rescued by police. >> you guys are awesome. get him! >> reporter: look closely at this dash cam video. you can see the victim being helped out by police who say atkins struck the young woman on the head as she left a downtown dallas office building and forced her into the car at gunpoint. she told police she feared she would have been raped and murdered if no one came to her rescue. a rescue unattainable if it wasn't for these two courageous teens. >> just a couple guys out in their car. joining me aaron arias and jamal harris. we wish you aa good morning. how are you? >> doing pretty good. >> i'm good, how are you? >> we're glad it have a chance to talk to you about this moment. i want to find out how this all came about.

what happened that day? just a regular day, the two of you out in the car? >> yeah, we went to go pick up a friend. he had just gotten off at a walmart and we were going to go pick him up. >> you are driving down the road. something made you look at the car next to you, what was it? >> it was this guy. >> i looked in the car next to me and i saw a woman in the back seat. but, i mean, the reason that i honestly looked was because she was pretty attractive. as i was trying to explain it to aaron. look, this lady is pretty beautiful and i could tell by her facial expressions on what she was trying to tell me it was very serious and i paid closer attention and i could see her mouthing the words, help me. >> so, then, how did you ale alert -- what did you say to aaron? >> i was telling, man, look, she's saying help me. he's like, let's focus on this light because we were in a turn

only lane. he said, no, we have to go. >> so, then, aaron, when did you decide, i better pay attention. there is something kind of funky going on in the car next to us? >> the moment the light turned green they kind of left too fast and then i saw her hitting the back windshield and after what he said and i saw, we had to go after them. >> you went after them and you called 911 at the same time. >> yes. but jamal had the steering wheel whi why i called 911. >> so, calling 911, you're probably thinking as you're telling the 911 operator that this was for real, this wasn't a prank and you were concerned for this woman's well being? >> i guess they could tell in my voice. i do sound pretty frantic in that 911 call. >> yeah, you do. >> then you followed the car. at any point did you feel in

danger? >> by the end, close to the end i felt like, you know, he was slowing down and we were slowing down and he knew we were being followed and he might do something to her and maybe even us. >> were either one of you thinking you should back off or change your route? >> no. honestly, i never felt that way because she was saying, i could tell she was serious and wanted to stay through it that it was what she was saying and not an elaborate prank. >> the police finally came, i'm sure you felt the saviors have arrived. >> yes. >> yes. >> and the police were able to apprehend this guy. at this point, what is going through your minds? >> thank god. >> you got a lit motle more excd than that, aaron. >> oh, my god! >> and so the young woman was

escorted to safety and that man is now under arrest. have you had a chance to talk with that young 25-year-old girl. she was abducted. did you have any idea it was so serious for her? >> you know, we talked to her at the scene, but afterwards we haven't been able to get in touch with her for legal reasons. >> understandably. an investigation that has to happen now. jamal, aaron, a couple young guys, one in high school and one in college and a lot of people are calling you her heroes today. i'm not sure that makes you comfortable but you understand what you did was an act of courage? >> yes, ma'am. >> would you do it again? >> obviously. >> any time. >> what do your parents think of it all? >> my mom, she's like a very christian woman, so, to her, it was like god put you at that moment at that time. it was fate. that's all it actually could have been for that timing to be so perfect for us to actually see her. it was night when we saw her.

she was like, it's a blessing that you could actually read her lips in the dark. the only light that we basically had was the stoplight. >> timing really was of the essence. aaron, jamal, we're so proud of you. i'm sure the hug you received from that young woman spoke more than words could say. thank you for your tremendous acts of courage and bravery and for saving the young woman's life. >> thank you. >> jamal harris and aaron arias, what a couple of guys. think on that as we go to break. we'll be back with more "new day." aaah! aaaaah! theres a guy on the window! do something, dad! aaaah! aaaah! what is happening? they're rate suckers. their bad driving makes car insurance more expensive for the rest of us. good thing there's snapshot from progressive. snap it in and get a discount based on your good driving. stop paying for rate suckers. try snapshot free at progressive.com.
