not new to the show. >> only about 16 years. tomorrow, 6:00 a.m., three hours of goodness. >> and a brand new studio. and heather is going to be there as well. >> i'll be in as well. everybody have a great sunday. we'll see you tomorrow, 6:00 a.m. bye-bye. fox extreme weather alert with a big chunk of the state under floodwaters, the people in colorado are living through a nightmare, and there's no end in sight. the national guard plucking people from harm's way. and saving hundreds of people so far, but resources are stretched thin as rescue crews navigate the raging floodwaters to reach those who are stranded. this is what they're up against. many roads look like rivers, putting submerged cars as the mercy of the currents. animals are also suffering. fighting for survival. colorado's governor took a tour of the area. >> in terms of what we saw and the devastation, whole areas of

roads, i mean, not just the asphalt taken away, but the entire roadbed. you can see whole corners in many places, hundreds of yards of roads completely gone. bridge after bridge missing. >> good morning, everyone. welcome to america's news headquarters. >> great to see you. good morning, everyone. i'm eric shawn. as least four people have been killed in this horrific fury, but that number, sadly, expected to rise. emergency responders now warning people in some isolated towns to get out while they can. the crisis understandably takes an emotional toll on all the victims. >> he went to work yesterday morning. about 4:30 in the morning, and we haven't heard anything from him. and he hasn't called us or anything. we're wondering if he's okay. >> my greatest fear when we moved here was fires. i just -- i never thought this

river would do this. it's just amazing. >> and what's not helping matters is more rain is forecast to be on the way. we're live in the fox extreme weather center with the latest. rick, say it ain't so. >> the rain we're going to see today is going to be more of a nuisance because the cloud cover is low, making it hard to see for the helicopters. any rain is maybane inch or two in spots that won't cause rapid flash flooding but a few isolated areas could see additional flooding. the set-up, though, is pretty much the same. there's an upper level disturbance, cut off from the flow. the flow is to the north, so there is nothing to push this out. so there's tropical moisture in the area, and that's why we have been seeing that. that low is going to ease up, i think today is about the last day of potentially kind of some heavier rain showers that begins to taper off as we get into the

day tomorrow. although a chance of a shower will remain in the picture. the rainfall rates have been extreme. take a look at this. this week so far in boulder, 14.7 inches of rain. in an entire year generally, you get just over 20 inches of rain. same with aurora just outside of denver. the problem is all the rain that fell in the mountains has to go somewhere. on this side of the continental divide, it flows to the high plains and to the south platte river shed and all of that goes to colorado where it meets the platte river. all that moisture heading in here, a lot of farmland and a lot of the farmland is going to be completely flooded now with record-breaking flooding. that means it's harvest season right now and a lot of those crops potentially having really significant damage to it. this is how much more rain we're going troosee, maybe about up to an inch in a few spots. today, i think the heaviest of the rain will be down across mexico. we haven't talked about it as much, but they have significant flooding going on there as well.

>> so sad, we'll keep an eye on it. thanks so much. eric, we have an alert as we're awaiting an update on a key united nations report on syria's chemical weapons use. u.n. secretary-general ban ki-moon getting briefed on the inspectors' findings. that's happening right now. he's expected to brief the security council. this as syria's regime is now agreeing to turn over its steakpiles. greg is life on the ground in syria's capital of damascus. what's the mood in damascus? >> reporter: we have been here for about 24 hours. time enough to get the beginning of a sense of what is happening here. that deal between russian foreign minister lavrov and secretary of state kerry regarding chemical weapons making front page news in one state-run newspaper here. so far, however, we have not gotten the detailed response from the government whether they will comply with that deal, which as you know, had some

remarkable features including accounting of all chemical weapons in one week and getting rid of all chemical weapons by next year. failing that, we went out into the streets of damascus and the markets here to get a sense from the people what they think about the deal and all the developments over the last couple of days. accompanied, i must say, as we often are here in damascus, by a representative of the government. take a look at what we saw and maybe even more significantly, what we heard. a busy weekend afternoon in central damascus with a threat of u.s. military strikes les ned, more people are out, but the war is not far away. we can hear the artillery in the distance, so there are new hopes with new talks for peace. >> this problem, and we didn't see that something wrong will happen in syria. >> i feel we have to make peace in this area. of course, in syria. >> supplies were pretty

blendable in the market. but we're told this long war is taking a toll on just about everybody. there are shortages of food and fuel. prices are soaring. the u.n. said up by 50% in the past year. and if the center of damascus feels busier, it's perhaps because other areas of damascus are out of bounds for security reasons. we were seeing more check points and blast walls from the last time we were here just one years ago. again, we must say there was a constant government presence here in our visit here in damascus, also, constant the sound of war. again, we were hearing artillery. we were hearing air strikes hitting by government forces, areas on the outskirts of damascus. pretty close to the center of power, and we also heard very loudly some incoming mortar shells hitting near the train station here in the center of damascus. again, probably coming from

rebel forces, coming from the outskirts of this area. again, a sign that even though these negotiations, these talks about at least one aspect of the fighting here, weapons might be wrapping up, the war continues unabated. >> we can't forget there are people suffering in the meantime. thank you very much, greg for that report. >> meanwhile, president obama has been praising the deal that was reached between the u.s. and russia. saying it offers a chance to destroy syria's stockpile of weapons, but critics warn president bashar al assad will not live up to his commitments. senator mccain and lindsey graham call this meaningless. so what does this mean? after all, saddam hussein violated 16 security council resolutions. that led to a war. iran, after ignoring six resolutions on its disputed nuclear program. john bolton, former ambassador to the u.n. and a fox

contributor, also a senior at the american enterprise institute joins us now. good morning, ambassador. >> good morning, eric. >> good to see you. the syrian list of chemical material is due on friday. do you think they'll come up with it and the deal will work? >> i think the deal is not going to be repudiated by the government of syria. it's much more likely to die a death of 1,000 cuts. let's say friday comes and they don't have the declaration. then maybe saturday comes and they don't have the declaration, and it drags out. so by the time they file it, it's a little bit late, but are you going to go to war over that? i don't think so. then you'll find the declaration's not complete and it will need to be amended. they're going to drag this thing out as long as they can, and i think they will try to interweave it with other negotiations. the broader peace negotiations, the question of how to deal with israel's nuclear weapons program. don't forget, just tuesday of this past week, president putin of russia said we all know the

only reason syria has chemical weapons is because of fear of israel's nuclear capabilities. you want to get rid of weapons of mass destruction across the middle east, that would be a subject the russians and syrians would love to talk about. >> if they play out the clock, what happens? >> i think nothing happens. i think that's russia's calculation. you know, the notion that russia began to negotiate because of the threat of a u.s. strike is ludacris. i don't know any serious observer of the house and senate in washington who thinks they were going to get a majority even in the senate for the use of force, and i don't know anybody who really believes obama would have used force without that authorization. at least in the short term, there was no u.s. threat of force. what putin has done through this negotiation, i think, is essentially take it off the table forever. i think the net effect of the agreement and the implementation of the agreement, if it ever happens, will simply be to buy more time for the assad regime.

buy more time for russia and iran to bolster the regime, and to see the civil war continue. >> so did putin win? >> yes, i think he did. i think his objective has been clear for two and a half years, although the obama administration has never understood it. putin, the russian objective is keep assad in power. and that's where they still are. i think if i were in the opposition, i would be dismayed beaut this outcome. if i were in tehran, which in my view is where the real problem is, i would be delighted by the outcome because it showed the united states having made the threat of the u.s. of force back down. and you know, president obama has threatened force against ir iran. he says all options are on the table. i don't think the iranians believed him before, but if the president isn't willing to use force even after the use of chemical weapons with emotional, searing pictures of children dying of sarin gas, he's not willing to use force there, i think the iranians think they're

home free. >> what happened to the so-called munich moment. six, seven days ago, john kerry warned about appeasement. now you have the syrians alle d allegedly bombing schools and hospitals. the rebel attacks. the rebels feel they're sold out and assad is not going anywhere, it seems. >> having watched the video of secretary kerry and russian foreign minister lavrov announce the agreement in genevgeneva, ik secretary kerry is suffering from stock home's syndrome. they ought to see now what other deal they can get from him and president obama. this is what happens when the president puts himself in a situation he has not thought through, when he flip-flops, he dithers. he moves back and forth, he shows weakness and indecisiveness. vladimir putin, former kgb agent, is one tough individual. when he sees weakness, he seizes on it and advances his own agenda. that's what he's done here. >> we'll be talking about that

in the 12:00 hour. finall finally, quickly, what will happen when the inspector's report is handed to the secretary-general and he hands it to the security council? >> there will be little doubt that all evidence will point in the direction it was the assad regime that used the chemical weapons. i don't think that was in serious doubt from the get-go. this report is a waste of time, basically. >> all eyes on the u.n. tomorrow. john bolton, as always, thank you for your analysis. >> thank you, eric. well, the countdown is on to obama care. the program's health insurance exchange is set to launch on october 1st, but some problems have cropped up over the last week, including a potentially disastrous data breach, and labor union concerns over what happens when the exchanges go into effect. so what can we expect as the deadline draws near? joining us now, the editor of campaigns and elections

magazine. shane, good morning to you. >> good morning. >> let's first talk about the security breach. basically, vaiving the minnesota obama care exchange, and a very secure -- supposedly secure e-mail sent to an independent insurance agency, including social security numbers and lots of private information of some citizens. this guy was very honest. this insurance agent. he said, whoa, this e-mail clearly is not meant for me. what had happened had he not been so honest? what could he have done with that information? >> and that's a large part of the concern in this part of the implementation process. and watch dogs and privacy advocates have brought this up over and over. it's a very legitimate concern. what we're dealing with obviously we're in a point in time where everybody has got to be particularly aware of their personal information, how it's accessed online, where it's going, we have seen data breaches everywhere from social networking sites to government sites. so this is a gigantic concern.

i think it loops into the larger questions over how, just how messy this implementation process is going to be. and i think this is going to connect quite directly to public opinion on obama care because if we see more stories about potential data breaches, government employees or government databases not being as secure as they need to be, with folks' information as this enrollment process continues, that has a direct negative political impact. and i think that's just one of the larger issues of implementation here. >> and shane, speaking of the enrollment process, you have these navigators, folks who were trained for about 20 hours and they're going to help the consumers choose which insurance plan is best for them. again, they're trained for 20 hours. handling some very sensitive information. is this cause for concern? >> i think there's no doubt it is. and i think if you look at the larger political issue, one of the big issues that we're going to see going forward is just how much folks do not know, and

they're not aware, of what this enrollment process is going to be like. i think the administration, as well as some individual states, are going to have to deal with consumers who simply don't have the information they may need to have or not know what they may be required or mandated to do under the new health care law and there's a huge information gap that needs to be filled. if it gets filled about stories with data breaches and folks who are concerned about their personal information, that's got a very, very high potential for a negative impact public opinion wise for the white house, for the administration, and larger, for democrats in congress as you look towards 2014. >> shane, are there any safeguards that have been put in place regarding this implementation of obama care you can champion? >> i think that there are certainly some house republicans and some other folks in congress who have brought this up as an issue. something that needs to be looked at. i think you're going to look at -- or you're going to see moving forward a number of

members in congress on both parties looking at the potential to delay some of this implementation process. >> wait a minute, you didn't hear my question. i asked you if there are any safeguards currently in place regarding the implementation of obama care you can champion? >> from my perspective, no. and i would suggest that that's something that absolutely needs to be looked at by both parties in congress and i think they will look at it. >> okay, a lot to be reviewed between now and october 1st. and shane, i do appreciate your perspective this sunday morning. good to see you. >> eric? >> taking antibiotics. we shouldn't take them too often, but n proof. it's a groundbreaking cdc report on infections that are resistant to antibiotics. coming up, the doctors will fill us in on this looming fear. >> plus, a high-stakes salvage operation about to take place on the high seas. the recovery of the "costa c

a massive and risky salvage operation getting set for tomorrow. engineers will try to host up the "costa concordia" a live look at the cruise ship that partially capsized off the coast

of italy nearly two years ago. the recovery is being called the most expensive ever, costing near lly $800 million. coming up, we're going to discuss the unprecedented nature of this operation. we went from potentially launching missile strikes against syria to reaching a deal with russia that they claim could rid syria of its chemical weapons. republican mike mccaul and chris van hollen agree this is a positive step, but they were split on who deserves credit wrd. >> i quite frankly think what won the day is putin looked in his backyard and realized these policies he saw in egypt and libya was going to happen in syria, which could fall to the muslim brotherhood and extremists, and he decided it was time to step in and try to fix the problem. >> the president laid out a very

clear objective. he said he wanted to deter the future use of chemical weapons in syria. we now in the space of a week have gone from assad denying he had chemical weapons, to admitting him. signing the convention on chemical weapons, allowing international inspectors in there and ultimately destroying them. because the president said if you don't do that, we're going to come in and use force. >> but will they do that? joining us now is john roberts filling in for chris wallace. good morning. >> good morning for you, eric. if i was the person who laid out that plan, i would want to be in the strategy meetings. first we're going to say this, then we're going to say that. let's turn it around like that, and on the off chance somebody asks you what assad can do to get out of this, say this. you couldn't roll the dice and get the same outcome. >> putin or obama, who do you think is credited in washington with the win and what does it

mean? the proof is in the pudding if it works. >> while what was going on in the united states may have eventually brought assad to the realization, there's a better way out than getting hit with military strikes, i think putin is the one who comes out a winner because he is elevating himself on the world stage to be the diplomat, the peace maker. he's certainly in the driver's seat when it comes to what is going to hap in in the next few days, weeks, months, and could be years in syria in regard to the chemical weapons. there was already a suggestion from mike mccaul any security force accompanying the u.n. weapons inspectors in syria should probably come from russia. he appears to be in the driver's seat at this point and we'll see if things go off the rails, if president obama can get the keys to the car back from him. >> that's a great point. in the next hour, 12:00, we'll be discussing president putin and what he gets out of this. that's a great point because there have been discussions and potential forecasts that there could be 75,000 troops needed to

secure this. there's a civil war. the u.n. inspectors a couple weeks ago were sniped at. how are they going to do this? >> to the 70,000 plus troops, that was a initial assessment done back in april by the pentagon. i checked with a high level source at the pentagon yesterday about that and they said that was an estimate for a, quote, nonpermissive environment and the environment would be much more permissive with syria's cooperation. that would be if syria said get the heck out, we're not going to help you. with syria helping, they think it will take far fewer troops to do it. you're correct in saying there's a war going on and you know how hard it is to get ahold of these things in peace time. look what happened with saddam hussein, 1991 to 1997 and 2000 to 2003. they still couldn't get it all done. when you add in the fact that people are going to be shooting at you and they likely will because the rebels are none too happy about the deal, it does speak to the idea this is going to be difficult and will require

boots on the ground to keep the u.n. inspectors safe. >> 16 resolutions that saddam violated and gadhafi, they thought he gave up everything. john, good to see you. >> for more of the interviews on syria with mike mccaul and chris van hollen, tune in to fox news sunday. congressman van hollen will also debate the status of the u.s. economy with george price. you have syria, war, and the economy all in one hour on fox this sunday, later today at 2:00, and 6:00 p.m., right here on the fox news channel or check your local listings for the fox station near you. >> and john roberts, check him out, too. top republican lawmakers now stepping up their push for answers as new hearings get under way into the benghazi terror attack this week. more than one year since the tragedy, south carolina congressman trey gowdy is one of the lawmakers leading the charge. we're going to ask him why the obama administration has yet to
