chemical weapon. one of those is saying they have seen at least 70 killed from this attack. the sgovernment is denying ther was any sort of the chemical attack. it has been pointed out there are many syrian regime and there is a lot of pressure the win their release life. we don't know at this point. we do know is there had been a ten day pause in fighting as some sort of negotiations were going on wean the government and
1:04 am
the main group there. the negotiations broke down yesterday. we hear they have resumed. this morning it appears there is ongoing government bombardment on the area. >> these pictures are heartbreaking. there have been more than 200 kem wa chemical attacks. the largest one took place on the 21st of august 2013 where it is believed gas killed more than a thousand people of course last
1:05 am
year more than 70 people killed in what is believed to be a kem kl attack. it was brought in urnnder an agreement to remove or destroy all of syria's chemical weapon. >> thank you. we'll stay in touch with you. >> it has seen what it calls disturbing reports and assessing the such report. >> they demapded immediate response. the regime and backers must be held accountable and any further

attacks attacks. >> let's talk more about this now with mark from orlando, florida. >> pleasure to be with you. >> this is not the first chemical attack we have seen in syria. it follows rebels firing at the capital what do you make of the report you're hearing? >> after watching this all week long it has an bombardment. it seems to follow the pattern that the syrian government has used of those they consider their enemy.
1:07 am
>> being from the u.s. as a result of that? >> yes. >> what might the u.s. response be to this? >> that's the great response, what will happen? many would say it might be the russian and syrian regime saying they are confused by a some what ambiguous policy.
1:08 am
>> while you were talking we are looking at children being doused with a water hose because they have been doused with chemical weapons. it's disturbing. is this part of a last ditch effort by this regime to win this war? >> i think they be continue to do wafr they have to do to put down this civil war and have the regime come out on top. as we get so upset about the use of chemical weapons which is in violation of several warfare decrees as well as some of the
1:09 am
u.n. charter this has just been extreme genocide over the last sever years. several hundred thousand have been killed and millions displaced and the syrian government as long as they have supported will continue to do this until they take down every opposition against them. >> that was my next question,
1:10 am
when and if he will face war crimes internationally. he has prevailed through seven years of war continuing his lifestyle through all of this. some wonder if he is worried or concerned in the face of condemnation that might have teeth at some point. it seems with the backing he may not be ton losing side. over the last several years he has been bucked up by help from his partners.
1:11 am
so i doubt as long as he is supported by other regimes he'll be brought to trial. >> we'll see what may be brought on his scitizens. thanks so much. >> thank you. now to germany. >> two died and 20 others were hurt. police say the suspect, a german citizen shot and killed himself. >> i cording to reports he was known to have psychological issuing but no link to radical
1:12 am
islam. what more have you learned about the suspect? >> well, really at the center is the motive. it remains. mystery. they say they have identified him. they actually lived not far from here. he's from the local area. german media reports he had a history of mental illness. in terms of the focus of the information they have since removed it. they were concerned about the x
1:13 am
possibility of explosives. they say they have found a broken gun as well as the gun he used to shoot and kill himself. another area focused for investigation is his apartment. they say they found a fake ak 47 as well as more fire crackers. nothing at this appointment to suggest any sort of jihadist link, nothing to suggest terrorism. we are expecting a press conference shortly with more information about this attack. motive very much remains a mystery here. >> is there anything to suggest he had acome polices in this? >> they say they have ruled at the possibility of accomplices.
1:14 am
at this point authorities say they had been able to rule that out. this is a city of some 300,000 people, very much rattled saying that she was deeply shaken by what happened. it reflects the sentiment here. we saw mourners where the attack took place. they were laying flowers and hugging. thank you for the reporting. stay in touch. . it has been called a nightmare come true. coming up a bus crash kills many members of a beloved hockey team. >> what president trump is saying about the fire. stay with us. you won't see these folks at the post office

1:29 am
in the coming election. the focus is to agree on a location for the historic meeting. no date has been set but it could be in late may. >> we warn you the video is quite dit tsturbing. >> at least 48 people are reportedly killed. syria says it was not behind the attack. >> it's what they say. this video shows victims being washed in an effort to clear away the toxic residue. it shows children and adults and babies foaming at the mouth. others convulsing appearing
1:30 am
paralyzed. >> steven is the chief diplomat. thank you for being with us. these images are difficult to watch but important to welcome at them. they really showed the detail these experts will look at to determine what happened. what's your view from what you have seen here? does it change the dynamic in any way? >> there are a couple of things going on. it proves that something happened, right? because syria denies doing anything and russia will deny doing anything. i'm expecting the answer to come back but some how the oppositions did it themselves. that's what usually happens. it will put great pressure on president trump sent 59
1:31 am
chemicals into weapons use. syria used chemical weapons in the past. it will put pressure on the president who said that the use of chemical weapons is a red line. the french have been very strong in trying to support britain for example in the poisoning of the former russian spy with the use of nerve gas. so it will be very interesting to see but the pressure on mr. trump to act militarily i think will be quite strong.
1:32 am
>> let's talk about that. again, it was just about a week ago the u.s. president was saying it's time to get out of syria. just a few days ago we heard from the u.s. ambassador talking about syria. let's listen to what she had to say. we can talk about it on the other side. >> it's a sad fact just a few years ago a single chemical weapons attack would have united us in shock and anger. it would have been enough for us to take immediate action. now we have a regime that uses chemical weapons practically every other week. our lack of action has consequences. when we let one regime off the hook others take notice. >> these mixed messages, where does it leave the syrian government? is it em bolded by what they are hearing? >> i this i they are.
1:33 am
they also see an end game. there is a very strong opposition force they are trying to defeat. this is one way i suspect they think they can do it. they normally use this kind of powerful chemical weapon as opposed to nearly chlorine gas which is horrible enough only in areas where there's a lot of opposition and many of them had already left. there's a kind of -- i mean it's disgusting, a kind of military logic to brave the criticism now. they know russia will protect them in the u.n. security council. russia will use its veto. they don't expect even a military response from washington or anyone else to be
1:34 am
that severe. now, it is true mr. trump has said he's tired of syria. he ordered his people to find a way out in the next six months rather than tomorrow. but that is also a signal to the syrian government that may have contributed to their willingness to use chemical weapons now. >> steven, thank you for your time and perspective today. >> thanks, george. president trump is doubting his efforts the secure the u.s. border with mexico. on saturday he tweeted we are sealing up the southern border, the people of our great country want safety and security. >> earlier he directed the national guard to send troops to the border. some are already in various sectors with more soldiers on the way. up to 4,000 have been authorized
1:35 am
to go. we have more thousand from the texas border. >> officials here in texas say the goal is to have at least 250 national guard troops in place by the end of the weekend. these planning troops being brought to the border as well as custom and border patrol agents to determine the specific resources, respected areas may need. generals are meeting in austin, the texas state capital. these 250 troops on the move, those are in addition to 100 troops that the governor of texas had already order to be in place. yopd the sta beyond the state of texas national guard troops being deployed to arizona-mexico border. beyond the numbers the next
1:36 am
question is what will they be doing? the focus now on planning. we anticipate troops being in supporting roles like intelligence gathering and s surveillance. these troops will only be armed where they feel self-defense will be necessary. the idea is that customs and borer patrol will be more visible, more flexible and they will be able to make any immigration arrests that may need to be made. cnn, texas. this move to beef up security comes as a caravan left everything behind, even children, to find a more prosperous life.
1:37 am
>> we are there and talked to these families as they plan their next moves. >> she is the reason her mother says they are even here. for them it is about a search for a better life. >> we are human beings she tells me. adding if jesus had to migrate why should pt we? most of the people here didn't know each other two weeks ago. it is part of an organized caravan united to head north levering behind vie leps and poverty in central america they tell us. she says her sister and uncle were both killed in honduras. when her son's live was threatened she said they fled
1:38 am
immediately. they say gangs controlled where they live and poverty makes it tough to find a way out. >> they are calling it a dangerous caravan. trump may not understand they find support in each other. they have become a community, a village on weals. volunteers serving food at dinner even the occasional soccer game. according to organizers the group started with more than a thousand people. >> people are lining up and they will have a full day where they are meet with immigrant advocates while they make up their mind on what to do next. head could want this weekend about 500. some will stay in mexico and others will break off on their own. as it has in previous years the
1:39 am
group becomes smaller only about half of them will make it to the u.s.-mexico border. >> thank you so much. >> still ahead, from paradise to waste land. we'll take you where a maifrsz clean up is effecting visitors and businesses.
1:40 am
1:41 am
1:42 am
welcome back. an island in the philippines is temporarily closing for a massive clean up. the government says the island has become a with wastewater draining into the sea. we went to check it out.
1:43 am
she is live. it certainly doesn't sound like paradise there. >> reporter: no. it doesn't sound at all like the vacation of your dreams. people are in the water enjoying the white sand beaches. the businesses on this side say they are notfected by the problems that effect the other part of the island. the president saying there's no answer here except to shut down the entire island to visitors for some six months. it has left people on this isla island scrambling. this is one of the most heavily visited areas in the philippines. they say it could be dramatic for their bottom line. we are hearing at an overabundance of trash and
1:44 am
sewage leaking into the clear blue island. big drainage pipes running along the shores. they tell us there have been illegal hook ups to some of that storm draining system. they say for years now they have been seeing raw sewage flow into the open water. they want the government to fix the problem which is the plan now but they wanted to see the clean up. they didn't want to see an all out ban. it is a global wedding destination. that means there are brides and grooms all over the world right now. we are being told with little notice. one of the wedding planners is filled with breaking news. >> it's hard for us. it's very hard because emotionally the stress not only for us but also for them.
1:45 am
they planned this a year and a half ago. all of a sudden the wedding of their dreams can't happen anymore. >> these businesses tell us it's not just about being able to serve their customers. they say it's about being able to support their employees and keep the businesses open for when the island opens back up in six months. >> so this is not just an environmental disaster. they apparently saw this coming. the question is will people come
1:46 am
back here once it's cleaned up? will they have confidence that it is cleaned up? any word on what they will do to make sure that happens? >> they say tourist dollars is critical it should be better and cleaner than ever and tourists will come back. they are also worried about their employees coming back. they will be laying workers off. they don't know their employees will return in six months. the government has said they set up a fund that will help effected workers. they say it is all happening very quickly. they feel they are not getting the information they need and they say they haven't been able to keep these critical assurances. the government does these people to do that work.
1:47 am
they say they could be tapping to do some of these clean up jobs. more people will not be coming back any i'm son. >> all of this could have been avoided if it with respect for that negligence with the drainage there. thank you. let's bring in karen with more on that, karen. >> we all know it means hawaii is exporting something it shouldn't. >> exactly. that's lots of moisture. it has been very problematic for the west coast. they are always pretty much in
1:48 am
need whether they get too much or not enough. it is this delicate balance that takes place. this is probl-- problematic. also the ground was super saturated. in yosemite park it is through the valley they took a rather unprecedented measure of telling visitors there you have to go because they were expecting this very heavy rainfall which did materialize. you can see the river went out of its banks. the rivers were over top thanks to the volume of precipitation
