scientists are at least 90% certainty that humans are the kaz for gloeblt warming. that's going to do it for me. >> hey. next in the cnn news room, syria and the deadly massacre in kenya. world leaders come together tomorrow starting with the look ahead.

>> right now, president obama is preparing to honor 12 victims killed in the shooting rampage at the navy yard. >> killing a dozen people before authorities shot and killed him. agt others were injured, including a police officer shot in the leg. after president obama speaks, each victim's name will be read aloud. and the marine will ring a large, brass bell. we'll bring you the president's remarks live as soon as they become available.

we have new, bizarre developments going on with the scene in kenya. solt are stilt hull ds up inside. three of the attackers are from the united states. the sourgs within the ter ror group told them the names of at least nine somali gunman. here's what we know ashlt the 30 hostages still inside the mall. not much, but unconfirmed rorlts. we're live from the scene in just a couple of moments. the casualties, so far, we're

told, 68 people are dead. police are no lojs er worried about holding off the stand off. like i said, several americans are amongs those people who are injured in this terrorist attack. now, if the information given is correct, three of the shopping mall attackers are from the yiegts or at least we think that they lived here at some point in time. they are promising to help in any way possible. tell us how u.s. officials are reacting to this news about the attack others and where some of them may be from?

>> well, this really took officials by surprise that the americans could be involved in all of this. they were very concerned about recruitment by the group al shabaab, particularly in minnesota but also in skst kst and other areas. they're trying to match-up the names but officials are telling me that they are becoming some. in the meantime, they're trying to get all assistance.

>> provooiding anything, but also with the request of the kenyan law enforcements. they're trying to give whatever assistance they need. >> now, we want to bring in peter bergen in washington.

he's our national security analyst. peter, this news that some of the attackers are nirobi are from the u.s., shocking. what communities are they talking about? and what indication do they have that terror groups are trying to commit it here in the u.s.? >> there was a number -- as it was just pointed out, a lot of the recruitment has gone on in minnesota. in particular, in minneapolis win of the poorest in the yiegts.

but they also came from other places. he converted to islam when he was a teenager. >> cleeshly, whoever is handselling the twitter account in which they're being very active and speaking cloak yal english, perhaps somebody growing up in the u.k. would be used there.

>> how tiekt are their with al-qaida? >> in february, 2012,they formally merge ds with al-qaida. that just means that they're in constant communication. it's how thaw identify themselves. they tried to kill with al shabaab, a danish cartoonist in denl mark, drawing a cartoon that many found offensive to the prophet, muhammad. they had done operations in uganda killing 70 people in 2010. you know, i thaef shown no ability or, for the moment, of being able to attack in the west other than the botched attack to kill this cartoonist in denmark. we appreciate you giving us that perspective.

now, we may have some developments on the hostages who were taken yesterday in that shopping mall. nima elbagar is outside and, nima, a few minutes ago, we got some reports about a hostage rescue operation. do you have information about that that you can expand for us? >> absolutely. after an extraordinary 36 hours on the ground, the kenyan military as much as says they have now successfully rescued most of those hostages. they say that there's finally resolution in site. they believe that in the very, very near future, minute, even, we could be hearing that this attack could finally be coming to a close. this, as you can imagine, for the family, is a bit of a waste.

this attack was carried out, if you can imagine, while a children's cooking competition was being held. and these attackers came in, ready to fight, guns blazing. we're already hearing the family haves been contacted. kenyaan authorities hopeful that they've been waiting the news, those that for many people, have begun to lose hope. >> could you describe this mall for us? just to give our viewers a sense of what this is? maybe perhaps the restaurants or the stores. just so peej get a sense of what it means with these hostages and this attack being a mall.

>> i have to say, it's sliegtly smaller in size than what you're used to in the u.s. but this mall, it doesn't really differ that greatly. this's a nike, there's a coop verse, there's an ice cream shop. its's what every average family would look for. this is somewhere where the americans gripped the workers, diplomats. that's why it has sent such a ricochet, such a shock wave through society. the u.s. ambassador found its way to the blood drive. and he gave blood, the israelly ambassador here. people are really trying to come together to rally around the kennons. even as their situation is resolt ved, some of the disturbing questions that have

been raised by what remains, we have been receiving detail. in fact, when sources within the al-qaida link al shabaab group, there were american citizens amongst the attack eres. these are questions still to be addressed. >> thank you so much. thank you so much, be careful out there. still to come, a new york times photographer was inside the mall when the shooting started. coming um, a look at his incredible pictures as the chaos unfolded. also ai head, the foreign minister of syria says the u.s. is trying to blackmail its country. make a deal with me, kid, and you can have the car and everything that goes along with it.

vrjs welcome back. 12 victims are being honored this afternoon at a memorial service and pay tribute to the nine men and three women killed in monday's shooting. you're taking a look at live pictures right now. and this is security -- secretary of defense chuck hegel. let's listen in to what he's saying right now. to the families, know that our thoughts and prayers are with

all of them. it is a path that we walk together. we walk with them 234 this act of senseless violence hoping the horrors of last monday will soon recede. and, together, we will recover. we will remember the first responders. we remember the people injured in the line of duty. we remember the power of our

navy personnel. we will remember the face of tragedy. we remember the time line resilience of the institution that the victims were part of that they so proudly supported. and the nation they so humbly served. god bless the families, friends and those who we remember today. and god bless our country. >> that was secretary of defense chuck hegel. and now we have the president of the united states walking up to the podium. and, of course, this is something that the president has talked about before and other instances. let's listen to see what the president has to say.

secretary hegel, leaders across this city, there are forces to all of the outstanding first responders. most of all, for the families whosehearteds have been broken. we cannot comp rehnd your loss. we know that no words we offer today are equal. to the magnitude of the depths of that loss. but we come together as a grateful nation to honor your loved ones.

to grieve with you and to offer as best we can some sol lis and some comfort. >> on the day we lost dr. martin luther king, robert kennedy stood before a crowd in a stunned indianapolis and broke the terrible news. and in the anguish of that moment, he turned to the words of an ancient greek poet, aescalus. even in our sleep, pab, which we cannot forget, falls drop by drop upon the heart until in our own despair comes the infinite

wisdom of god. pain which cannot forget. drop by drop, on the heart. the tragedy for the pain that brings you here today is extraordinary. it is unique. the lives that were taken frommous were unique. the memories their loved one carry are unique. they carry them and endure long after the newspapers are gone. but part of what wears on as well as the sense that this has happened before.

what troubles us so deeply is how this echoes other recent tragedies. mr. president, i have now grieved with five american communiti communities ripped apart by mass violence. ft. hood, tucson, aurora, sandy hook and now the washington navy regard. and these mass shootings occur gengs a backdrop of charges as the epidemic of gun violence terrors communities across america. so once again, we remember our fellow americans who are just going about their day.

doing what they love. these patriots doing their work that they were so proud of have now been taken away from us by unspeakable violence. once more we come together to comfort the wonderful family who is cherish them. once more, we pay tribute to all who rushed towards the danger, who risked their lives so others might live and who are in our prayers today. once more, our hearts are broken. once more, we seek strength and wisdom through god's grace.

you around your father and moth mother. >> you and your families are still in the early hour of grief. there's nothing routine about this tragedy. nothing routine about your loss. your loved ones will not be forgotten. they'll endure in the hearts of the american people, in thehearteds of the navy that they helped to keep strong. and the hearts of their coworkers and their neighbors. she is not a numb we are or some satistic. none of these 12 fellow americans are statistics. today rngs i want every american to see how these men and women lived.

you may have never met them, but you know them. they're your neighbors. like arthur daniels out there on the weekend she took a second job at walmart because she said she enjoys working with a lot of people. cathy loved her hockey and her cats. season ticket hold r for 25 years. they were the volunteers who made your community better. marty leaving the children's bible study at church. they lived the american dream.

he left everything he knew in india and dedicated himself to the united states navy. they were proud veterans like jerry reid who wor the army uniform for 25 years. he said nobody knew those ships like him. they were dedicated fathers, like my graduates. they were loving mothers like mary francis night, devoted to her daughters.

they were always smiling giving hugs to his 10 grandchildren. these are not statistics. they are the lives that have been taken from us. a husband has lost his wife. wives have lost their husbands. sons and daughters have lost their moms and dads. hundreds in our communities have lost a neighbor. thousands here have lost a friend. as has been mentioned for one

family, the daniel's family, old wounds are ripped open again. pris cil la has lost arthur, as mayor grey indicates. i can't believe this is happening again. these families have endured a shaterring tragedy. it ought to be a shock for all of us. it ought to upset us. it ought to lead to some sort of transformation. that's what happened in other countries when they experienced similar tragedies. they you could that there was

nothing ordinary about this kind of carnage. they endured great heartbreak, but they also immobilized and change d. the mass shootings became a great rarity. and yet here in the united states, after the heartbreaking interviews with families, after all speeches and all the commentary, nothing happens. a long side the anguish of these american families, alongside the accumulated out reach many of these feel, sometimes i feel there's a creeping rez ig thags. that these tragedies are just somehow the way it is.

that this is somehow the new norm. we can't accept this. there's nothing normal about our children dying in the streets from stray bullets. no other vanszed nation endures this kind of violence. none. if you're in america, the murder rate is tree times what it is in other nations. the murder rate with guns is ten times what it is with other developed nations.

it falls upon us to make a difference. sometimes it takes an undppted voice to breakthrough. to help remind us what we need know to be true. we heard one of those voices last week. she spoke as somebody who sees daily and nightly, the awful carnage of so much violence. we are a great country, but there's something wrong. all of these shootings, all of these victims, this is thot america.

we have to work together to dpet rid of this. that's the wisdom we should be taking away from this. i'm not accepting this as inevitable, but asking what could we do to prevent them from happening again and dpen and again. i've said before, we cannot stop every act of senseless violence. we can not know every evil that lurks in troubled minds. but if we can prevent one, surely we've got an obligation to try. it's true that each of the tragedies i've mentioned that we need to do a better job.

as commander in chief, i've ordered changes up and down the chain. and that in those effortings, we don't stigmatize those who need help. those things are clear. we've got to move to address them. we americans are not inherently a more violent people than folks are in other countries. we're not inhrntly prone to mental hemt problems. the main difference that sets our nation apart is that we don't do enough to keep guns out

of the hands of criminals and dangerous people. what's different in america is it's easy to get your hands on a gun. the politics are different? i do not accept that. it may not happen tomorrow and it may not happen next week. it may not happen next month, but it will happen.

because it's the change that we need. so the question is not whether we care in moments of tragedy, clearly, we care. our hearts are broken again. we care so deemly about these families. the question is do we care enough to keep standing up if it's hard and politically

uncomfortable? >> our tears are not enough. our wofrds and prayers are not enough. if we really want to honor these 12 men and women, if we want to honor our children, our work, our school free from senseless violence without so many lives being stolen by a bullet sfr a gun, then we're going to have to change. we're ghoings to have to change.

>> john johnson looked at his wife and said what he always said when they departed. good-bye, beautiful. i love you so much. even in our sleep, pain which we cannot forget falls drop-by-drop upon the heart. until in our own despair against our will comes wisdom through the awful grace of god. what all v wha all of our great leaders have understood that wisdom comes through the recognition that tragedies, such

as this, are not inevitable. and that we possess the ability to change. so in our grief, let us seek that grace. let us find that wisdom. in doing so, let us truly honor these 12 american patriots. may god grant them eternal peace, the strength and wisdom to keep safe our united states of america. >> and that was the president of the united states speaking at the u.s. navy barracks remembering the victims of the navy yard shooting.

our thoughts and prayers, of course, with those families. you can learn more about each of the victims shooting. you can log onto our web site, cnn.com. we'll be right back. you're comfortable here. it's where you email, shop, even bank. but are you too comfortable? these days crime can happen in a few keystrokes. american express can help protect you. with intelligent security that learns your spending patterns, and can alert you to an unusual charge instantly. so you can be a member of a more secure world. this is what membership is. this is what membership does.

the u.s. and russia nail down the details on their agreement to destroy serious chemical weapons. the russian foreign minister cut the deal with secretary of state john kerry. he tells russian television that the u.s., in his words, is blackmailing americans if syria fails to comply. the details are crucial because the u.n. needs to be approved.

it turns over just a day after inventory. these are senior fellow at stanfords university hoover institute. u.s. officials said yesterday that he was pleasantly surprised with a level of detail that the syrians provided in this inventory. it can be trusted. >> the people who know syria are not. and every indication is that this will cheelt. there is every reason to believe that we have to run around syria looking at chicken coops and, you know, all kinds of fore saken hands for these chemical weapons. we've made a deal on the backs of the syrian people. this is russia that can betray

the city and the people. >> now, let's talk about the wider civil war in syria and what do you make of the information coming out of iran and their eagerness to negotiate a peace deal? >> no, i love this. the iran yans are sending their president on tuesday. and the president had an ad in the washington post that i will post. he's become the scene of heartbreaking violence, including chemical weapons attacks, which we strongly condemn. this is the president of a country which, in a way, when you take a look at the destruction of syria and the great violations of syrian rights, the ie rain yans have

been deeply involved with this. and, now, here comes this man presenting himself as a decent man shedding crocodile tears over the faith of the syrian people. >> you know, i read that he mentioned a lot of the problems were identity issues. and to address the broader, overarching intentions. and ip know that there's a lot of skepticism about what iran would really be able to do. >> skepticism is really in order. that's the right thing to approach the ie rain yriranians.

>> but i think again and again now, the obama administration is interested in a deal with iran and the idea that we have forced iran into a settlement. and so this is the flavor of the week. >> i know you're going to join us again in the next hour because lots to talk about. and like you mentioned, the president is schedule today be here soon. you know, the normal meeting that the president of the united states will be here soon. thank you so much, we'll billion back. >> now, getting back on their feet after deadly floods. now there's a new fear. we'll explain how an open sign may not be enough for some

businesses to survive.

rjs welcome back. we're taking you live to the u.s. navy barracks. this is where admiral mark kidd, chief of naval chaplains, let's listen in. >> we ask you, hold us now. comfort each one of us with the great power of your love. and in our grief and our confusion, give us light to guide us to the assurance of your love. we pray this in your holy name, amen. would you please rise as we recall the names of those whom we have lost. and, please, remain standing for the navy hymn and for taps. following taps, please remain in place for the departure of president and mrs. obama and the families.
