our coverage of the strike on syria continues. >> let's get started. saturday, u.s. president donald trump declared mission accomplished in syria. senior u.s. officials say that both chlorine and sarin, they believe were used in the attack. we know three sites were targeted including a research facility in damascus as well as storage facilities and command

and control center. >> the u.s. says more than 100 missiles were fired and all hit their targets. syria claims most missiles were intercepted but these images which you're seeing now show a site near damascus this, r.1 moment shows a building there, and gone. this appears to be a research facility. russia accuses of strikes of undermining global peace and security. and cnn reported covering the story so let's go get a view from the ground. >> 24 hours in and i think areas

are more or less dusting themselves offul we have heard from syrian state tv, they do claim much of the damage claimed by the united states to the facilities struck didn't actually happen. it's clear satellite pictures contradicting that contention. but assad posting a picture of him sauntering to work over nice, clear marble floors yesterday morning and the question is what message is being taken away? we're seeing people on the streets, honking their horns suggesting elements of victory from the lack of extraordinary damage done here. and there is a question of what

event. we heard from u.s. officials who believe sarin and chlorine was used but that doesn't appear to be from extensive testing of samples. it appears to be from watching videos of those who were dying and suffering from the attack. so the question now is the u.s. saying the regime used the weapons 50 times. so any time a noxious gas is smelt is there potential cruz missiles will be flying? is it just use of sarin as in the case of 2013? that is the broadcast question moving forward and that will continue with conventional weapons on a daily basis.

what has to be done to elicit this response again. >> james mattes says these air strikes were a quote one-time shot. >> that is friday evening, saturday, nikki haley made it clear there could be more. barbara star reports from the pentagon. >> reporter: a message from donald trump to al-assad and his russian masters firing missiles into the heart of syria's chemical weapons program. >> i spoke to the president this morning and he said if the syrian regime uses this poison gas again, the united states is locked and loaded. >> defense secretary james mattes in a late night briefing not shutting the door to future military action but not saying what would lead to more air

strikes. >> this is a one time scott. >> the pentagon planning for military strikes and the target list, a research center in damascus and two chemical weapons and equipment storage facilities. after first light the pentagon says there were no reports of civilian casualties and military objectives for the strike were achieved. >> i borage began with a borage

of missiles and carried out by warships and a u.s. submarine. the french launched missiles from a ship and two b 1 bombers launched strikes. one facility is located in damascus. missiles made it past air defenses without being shot down. >> you can see it does not exist anymore. we believe they've lost a lot of material. so i think words cripple and degrade are good accurate words. >> reporter: but as al-assad calmly walked into work, it's unclear if he is hearing those words. the pentagon has been concerned about a possible reaction from the russian who's have forces

inside syria. but the day after, so far, they see no real reaction from moscow except for a lot of angry language. let's bring in cmn military analyst, colonel rick franconi now. if wick start by discussing this phrase that a lot of attention has opinion paid, do you agree? >> i don't think that was referring to the entire syria policy, but this particular military operation. 105 missiles fired, 105 missiles hit their targets. the building is eliminated so

yes, from the military side it was mission accomplished. as far as our missions in syria. >> how many of them, roughly are there? and are there more stock piles they might still have? >> undoubtedly. the syrians had a week to thought we were, they knew they were. i'm sure some made into other secure facilities. this is a densely populated area and protected area and it sends

a strong message. i know syrian people were saying well, it's still here, yes. but it's not. and i think the message is to deter, knowing there are other stock piles in syria and it would be impossible to take all of them out. based on what you know and studied because of the behavior, just asking that i was reading today that they expect there may have been about 100 watch dogs and attacks so why this time?

>> let me address the other parts first. and if you use chlorine they're not regarding that as sufficient grounds to launch a strike. so it triggered an tack last year and of course, now, they use them in duma, that triggered this particular round of strikes so there seems to be a difference. and it is a kind of a

philosophical thing. as for deterrents, i think it will be effective because and we've talked about this, that was surrounded and they're pounding it every day. and there is no reason to use chemicals. i think russians are going to pressure assad to not use chemicals knowing that will invite a strike. every time we get outside powers like they did last night, you run the risk of an escalation.

they don't want to mess that up so i think they're going to put pressure on not to use chemicals again. he doesn't need to. >> thanks for joining us. the syrian military says it is clear including the city of d duma. >> in a statement, saying units of our valiant armed forces completed the cleansing in all of its towns and villages all terrorists have left duma city. the syrian military operation to retake eastern guta has been

condemned. the un says 130,000 have fled and now, many of them live in limbo in makeshift towns. >> there is definitely something that stinks. >> these backpacks belong to 7-year-old twins from duma. they're a little shy. hesitant. they smelled something. my dad said. >> their mother tells us they remember everything. they're hiding in a basement when the alleged chemical attack took place. they can barely breathe. she clawed her way up, dragging

her daughters but the other strikes began. we were between two deaths, she remembers. from chemical attacks or those on the roof top. >> the smell is quite strong and that is the toy her daughter hid away to try to keep her safe and she would tell the toy, you know, you might suffocate but at least you'll be safe from the bombing. that is how the kids' minds work. >> yesterday, they were digging a tunnel for the ants so they wouldn't suffocate. >> in another tent a little boy with a jagged scar across his abdomen. his uncle who doesn't want to be identified was among the worst affected in the family. he says his blood sample was

taken the day before. this is a months long bombing so something has simple as sun on the skin. the next thing this woman remembers is being in the hospital. >> she'd just gotten out of surgery in the hospital when the wounded began coming in. what she doesn't know is that her husband is dead. her son two, years old is too young to remember his father. the limited strikes may have sent a message to the syrian regime about chemical weapons but not about the rest of the

arsenal. it's little more than a move on a gruesome test port. this 68-year-old arrived here four days ago from duma. she's buried too many relatives. including her son and two grandchildren. she says her country caused her too much pain. and remembering when her family was around her, and feeling safe wasn't a luxury is just too much. >> that is hard to watch. important reporting there about the pain and loss being experienced by people in syria. two words brought on a lot of backlash for a u.s. president years ago. now, the same words are doing the same thing for president trump. we'll have details for you head.

you wouldn't accept from any one else. so why accept it from your allergy pills? most pills don't finish the job because they don't relieve nasal congestion. flonase allergy relief is different. flonase relieves sneezing, itchy, watery eyes and a runny nose, plus nasal congestion, which pills don't. flonase helps block 6 key inflammatory substances. most pills only block one. and 6 is greater than 1. start your day with flonase for more complete allergy relief. flonase. this changes everything.

buildings destroyed this is part of a research center. >> and u.s. says air and missile strikes were a success. and following a suspected chemical attack, three sites were targeted including a research facility and storage facility. >> the u.s. says all missiles hit their targets. syria says most missiles were

repelled. >> two words in the end of the tweet are raising eye brows and those two words are "mission accomplished". >> it was a sobering message delivered to syria. >> we're prepared to continue the response until the syrian government stops it's chemical agents. the president tweeted perfectly executed last night. thank you to france and united kingdom for their power and wisdom. could not have had a better result.

mission accomplished. that phrase has a flash back to 2003, when then president bush declared victory in iraq. the war continued eight more years and over bush's shoulder was a banner reading "mission accomplished". >> former bush press secretary ari fleesh -- fleischer said i would recommend not using those two words. >> last night's operations were very successful. we met our objectives. we hit the sites. the heart of the chem weapons program so it was mission accomplished. >> still, on a conference call,

saying if this does not succeed, we will be determining. >> i want to bring our troops back home and rebuild our nation. >> democrats are raising questions. >> i cannot tell you what this administration policy is towards syria one week ago he was giving a green light. >> the other question is how to handle syria's two biggest backers, russia and iran. >> i ask, what kind of nation wants to be associated with a

mass murder of innocent men, women, and children? >> vice president pens continued that tough talk at summit of americas in peru. >> our message to russia is you're on the wrong side of history. >> president trump will meet with the japanese prm next week at mar-a-lago. cnn, white house. . a survivor of one of the first chemical tacks is praising the decision to strike. the gap attack, he survived the attack and spoke with our

colleague. >> i'm a syrian refugee who lived under two years of siege and bombardment. i would love to buy you a beer and just sit in front of you and tell you how bad it is in syria. you should listen to your heart not your generals. you've proven once again, yesterday, have you a big heart at least a lot more bigger than obama. >> let's get some perspective now. jessica, thanks for joining us. who president trump had to appeal to when discussing these strikes? we've heard someone who is praising the president.

he has his base to consider and his political opponents who have been giving support so what do you think the priority is? >> i'm going to pick all of the above and i think president trump's policy has indicated this schizophrenic nature of not just the american public but a lot of people's views when it comes to this conflict in syria. there is a humanitarian crisis and we need to address that and president trump feels he wants to be the strong man saying i am doing something real, immediately. and there are many who feel i am

worried about being dragged into a war in the middle east and so i think having to appeal again and trying to address those two somewhat competing concerns. >> what about those words mission accomplished in that tweet? it became the punch line of the iraq war do you think it's something critics can compare around this trez prez? >> it's unfortunate and i agree with ari fleischer. he simply shouldn't have used it and that term is so loaded. i would say one of the biggest draw backs to the fact he used "mission accomplished" isn't such a case of foot in mouth disease it's that we're talking

about the use of sucking up a lot of oxygen in the room instead of talking about the fact it seems to be that we don't have a coherent policy and we need one. what i saw was kids being gassed and die soth president using these two words is unfortunate for a number of reasons, it's obscuring the real conversation. >> and do you think the president's intentions in syria might be changing because he said mission accomplished in regards to syria and inis remarks. >> yes. and this is consis stents with

previous inconsistencies. he said a number of things he said we should pull out of syria, then, on the other hand said we need a proportional response and this shows benefits and detriments of a proportional response with the use of chemical agents. what that shows is that president trump tends to put syria in two different boxes and tends to see there is a war against isis which he thinks we're winning and a civil war which he seems to have no appetite for. they're very much intertwined and we hear him being inconcities stent with this issue. >> stay with us, we'll be back after this short break and we'll

those are some of the missile launches from strikes on syria. the u.s. says 105 missiles were fired and said strikes were a success and attacked syria's chemical weapons program after a suspected chemical attack last week. a research facility in damascus as well as two storage facilities. >> syria says the attacks were mostly repelled but video like this one shows significant damage. we're looking at a research facility in damascus. >> here is military and diplomatic analyst john kirby.

>> president trump aided by allies launched strikes in sy a syria. let's take a look at what they hit, why they hit it and what they hit them with. three tarring considerates were hit. two in holmes. and one a research and development center. all three chosen very carefully and also, done in a way that it could be as precise as possible and we can show you how precise these were. let's take a look at the research facility. now, looking at this area here, this is taken a couple weeks ago. you can see three buildings here and this is what it looks like

after the strike. this after buildings were obliterated and sidewalks and roads left untouched. that is information can do for the mission. how do you actually get those on target? 70% of the am munitions were tomahawks. the work horse of the navy and they've been upgraded and very capable cruz missile that flies at subsonic speeds and low, and close to the ground. so this is hard to detect. and pentagon is sure all of them found their targets but it was

you can see how many were flown in this joint air missile. 650 miles, and more advanced missile, more capable. and targets are very, very capable and there are missiles standing off about 300 miles and this is called by a different name. a very complex mission.

is it going to be enough to deter assad again. >> and a senior un correspondent was there with this report. >> pastor and military strike at the un security council table. nik nikki haley says she remains locked and loaded. russia, china and bolivia says united states was violating international charter. russia proposed a resolution to the security council which would have condemned what it called

u.s. aggression on syria and a violation of the charter. moscow was unable to obtain needed nine votes and won't have passed anyway because u.s., uk and trance would have vetoed it. un secretary general pleaded with the major powers to come together and finally work out a political solution to the problems of syria. differences here is that they're not going away. on wednesday, the salsbury england attack once again the subject of a debate here.
