welcome back. looking forward to hearing more about your trip to damascus. >> new developments from syria. the country says it is ready to deal on chemical weapons. the news comes hours before president obama takes his case to the american people. >> monday the president suggested he might support a plan requiring syria to give up its chemical weapons. he told cbs news it was a potentially positive development. margaret brennan is in washington. >> reporter: don't need a private conversation public. in the last few hours, syria's foreign minister said his country will accept the new proposal in order to avoid, in his words, u.s. aggression. but still no detailed plan on how to verify or count the transfer of syria's chemical weapons. when one is presented, the u.s. will take a hard look at it. the plan to allow international monitors to take control of syria's chemical weapons was first discussed behind closed doors by presidents obama and

putin at the g-20 summit in russia last week. it was revealed publicly for the first time monday by secretary kerry in response to a question from cbs news. is there anything at this point that his government could do or offer that would stop impact? >> sure. he could turn over every single bit of his chemical weapons to the international community in the next week turn it over all of it. >> reporter: kerry's remarks prompted russian foreign minister sergey lavrov to float a similar proposal to the syrian government which quickly embraced it. former secretary of state hillary clinton called it an important step. in her first public remarks on the current crisis clinton warned the russians not to use the promise of a potential deal as a distraction to postpone a true resolution. >> this cannot be another excuse for delay or obstruction. and russia has to support the international community's

efforts sincerely or be held to account. >> on capitol hill where the president's plan to strike syria gets less popular by the day, members of congress on both sides of the debate were skeptical but said the russian proposal was worth exploring. washington democrat adam smith is undecided on how he'll vote. >> if syria were to give up all of their chemical weapons, i mean, that would be the best possible result. >> reporter: illinois republican adam kinzinger is one of the few in his party to publicly back president obama. >> if the this is a serious discussion about disarming assad, then it may be a win-win without military strikes but the clock's definitely ticking. >> reporter: western diplomats tell me that france and the u.s. are very skeptical that syria will actually comply. and today france will ask the u.n. to enforce it militarily. but we know there's intense diplomacy under way, and that may delay any use of armed force or possibly win over some of the countries who have been reluctant to pledge support for action. this sudden potential has also

allowed congress to postpone a vote on the president's call for military strikes. that vote was originally scheduled for wednesday. >> margaret thank you. charlie, even before these discussions became public president obama and president putin discussed this in st. petersburg in a 20-minute aside. you asked president assad about this. >> i asked him would he be willing to surrender his chemical weapons if, in fact, the president would not engage would not go forward with an air strike. and here's what he said. the president is prepared to strike and perhaps will get the authorization of congress or not. the question then is would you give up chemical weapons if it would prevent the president from authorizing a strike? is that a deal you would accept? >> again, you always imply that we have chemical weapons. >> i have to because that's the assumption of the president. >> yeah. >> that is his assumption and he is the one who will order the strike. >> it's his problem, the

assumption. but we would do anything to prevent the region from another crazy war. >> anything to prevent the region from another crazy war. >> yes e. >> you recognize the consequences for you if there is a strike. >> it's not about us. it's about the region. >> it's about your country, your people. >> of course. my country. we are part of the decision. it cannot be discussed as syria. it should be part of the region. that's how we have to look at it. >> i read that he was prepared to consider if it would not lead to an attack on syria. >> and we'll see whether -- you know scott pelley asked the president about this. we'll talk to scott shortly. we'll see whether we can verify and how long this would actually take. >> to make it happen. there is a new cbs news/"new york times" poll this morning that finds the vast majority of americans, 61%, oppose a u.s.

military strike on syria. only 30% support it. that is just some of the resistance president obama faces as he e speaks to the nation tonight. "cbs evening news" anchor scott pelley sat down with the president to talk about syria. scott, good morning. one of the first questions you asked the president, what do you think he thinks of this russian proposal that would have syria perhaps turn over or show some of its chemical weapons? >> well norah, when i met with the president late yesterday, he looked a little bit relieved to my eye to at least have the possibility of avoiding this military strike which he clearly does not want to pursue against the wishes of the american people if he doesn't have to. however, the president of course was showing a great deal of skepticism. he said this has to be verifiable. it has to be enforceable. he said over the next several days we're going to see how realistic all of this is. when we sat down with mr. obama in the blue room of the white house, we started with this news that russia and syria were

proposing a diplomatic way out of this jam. what do you see in a diplomatic deal? >> well, the key is to paraphrase ronald reagan, that we don't just trust but we also verify verify. and so the importance is to make sure that the international community has confidence that these chemical weapons are under control, that they are not being used, that potentially they are removed from syria, and that they are destroyed. >> is the only agreement you would accept one in which we can be assured that all of syria's chemical weapons are destroyed? >> you know, i think it's premature for me to start drafting language. i think i want to see what exactly is being proposed and in the interim it is very important for congress and the american people to recognize that we would not be getting even

ticklers like this if it weren't for the fact that we were serious about potentially taking action in the absence of some sort of movement. and so we need to keep the pressure on. >> the people aren't with you. >> yeah, well not yet, and as i said i understand that. i'll have a chance to talk to the american people directly tomorrow. i don't expect it will suddenly swing the polls wildly in the direction of another military engagement. if you ask the average person including my household, do we need another military engagement, i think the answer generally is going to be know.no. but what i'm going to try to propose is we have a very specific objective, a very narrow military option and one that will not lead into some large-scale invasion of syria or involvement or boots on the ground, nothing like that. this isn't like iraq. it's not like afghanistan. it's not even like libya.

then hopefully people will recognize why i think this is so important. >> assad essentially put you on notice today. in the interview with charlie rose he said of the united states if you strike somewhere, you have to expect the repercussions somewhere else in a different form in a way that you don't expect. he brought up 9/11 as an example of the kind of thing america did not expect. do you take that as a threat? >> well, i mean i think it was intended as a threat. i don't take it as a credible threat in the sense that mr. assad doesn't have the capacity to strike us in a significant way. our embassies in the region u.s. personnel in the region they're always potentially vulnerable to asymmetrical attacks, but the truth of the matter is those threats already exist from a whole range of groups. and we understand what those threats are and take those precautions very seriously. >> when you hear the president talk about an asymmetrical threat that's eventually pentagon talk for a terrorist

threat. so the president tonight will be speaking to the nation at 9:00 eastern time. of course we'll be carrying that for you here on cbs news. the idea is he hopes to be able to sway the american people and the 500 or so people who work under this dome behind me that it is appropriate to continue the military pressure. he believes that only with the threat of a military strike will this idea of syria destroying its chemical weapons actually be fulfilled. charlie? >> scott my impression is having talked with the president, that you sensed that he knows he has a very hard sell. the country seems to be divided over this. and the idea of some kind of compromise would give him and the syrians a way out. >> absolutely. an off ramp, if you will. i mean certainly the president was looking for something like that. the president has been trying to sell this charlie, as you know for the last several days and from the head count that we have on capitol hill he's only been

losing ground. for example, yesterday, three senators came out against this. only one senator came out for it. so the president realizes that this is not something that the american people are interested in pursuing not something that congress is very excited about at least in terms of the military option. the president told us that even in his own household there wasn't a lot of support for the military option. but the president believes that the threat of military action is the thing that caused this diplomatic -- i want to say breakthrough, but we really don't know that it's a breakthrough yet because we don't know what the details are, but this diplomatic option to suddenly come forward. and the president is going to ask his secretary of state to get with the russians and try to nail down the details on what he hopes will be a deal. >> scott pelley thank you. it was interesting, charlie, as the president said to scott, even in his own household, that

there is disagreement. the president in another interview also mentioned michelle obama essentially is opposed to military engagement. striking. >> it is the top -- where did this proposal come from scott? we may have covered that but this idea that it has given such life to this. >> well, charlie, you know, major garrett, our chief white house correspondent, was talking to his sources at the white house yesterday. and major told us that this idea came up from the russian president, vladimir putin, in a discussion that president putin and president obama had last week at the g-20 economic summit which was in st. petersburg russia. so apparently the president has known about this for several days. the world didn't know about it until our margaret brennan asked her question of the secretary of state yesterday. >> thanks, scott. >> thanks, scott. the president also indicated they talked about this a year ago too in a los cabos summit.

scott will bring you live coverage of president obama's address to the nation tonight at 6:00 p.m. on cbs. senator john mccain is a longtime supporter of military intervention in syria. he joins us from capitol hill. senator, good morning. >> good morning, charlie. >> what do you make about all the news about some compromise put forward by the russians and the state department that might forbid a military strike? >> well, i have a couple of thoughts charlie. one is that perhaps this would not have come about if it hadn't been for the threat of the military strike so there is some credibility to that course of action. but second of all, i'm very skeptical, and we should be since bashar al assad has refused to acknowledge that he even has chemical weapons. but i think the best test right away would be the syrian acceptance of international monitors to go to these chemical

weapons sites and get them under control immediately, while the details of whatever disposal and other modalities are being considered and agreed upon. if he's serious, then let the monitors in there right away. we know where these chemical weapons sites are and get them under control immediately. and finally, some of us are already working on a modification to the congressional resolution that would require strict time lines and strict guidelines that would have to be met as part of the authorization for the president. and have no doubt that the numbers that you just saw are because of an incoherence about the message as to exactly what the united states is trying to do in syria. when the secretary of state says that a strike would be quote, unbelievably small then what does that mean? and, again, i still strongly believe that the only way bashar

al assad leaves power is if there's momentum change which leads to negotiations and his departure. >> senator mccain, i read through and watched all the interviews that the president did yesterday. and i was struck that as the president is trying to sell the case for a military air strike he repeatedly talked about how that is not one of his top options. he prefers a diplomatic option. he said "i continue to believe there is not a military solution to the underlying conflict which is in part sectarian." do you believe this new russian syrian deal will delay a strike? >> i think -- obviously it has to now norah, as far as congress is concerned, because we have to see how this plays out. again, put me down as extremely skeptical. but he could not pursue this option would be a mistake.

but, you know, again, 100,000 people have been massacred, a million children are refugees this is spreading into a regional conflict high school jeopardizing syria, lebanon, iraq is turning into a killing field for al qaeda and others and so we must in my view continue our effort to support those who are seeking to unseat -- negotiate the withdrawal departure of bashar al assad. >> senator john mccain, thank you very much. time for this morning's headlines.

offer experimental drugs outside of clinical trials for desperate patients. this offers new hope for you? >> awe amazing hope yes. >> reporter: the company said no. in an e-mail to sloan chief medical officer henry fuchs wrote despite the companies's promising results we do not know whether it would and in whom it works. john and mary are andrea's parents. >> i don't understand why. >> it makes a mockery in my view in a statement that there is such as thing as compassionate use of drugs. >> reporter: biomarin declined our request for an on-camera interview. in a statement, it said its focus is on doing the greatest good for the great of the number of patients. and although it does support kags knit use, the company says

good morning charlie. good morning, gail. it's :00 a.m. in the morning. welcome back to "cbs this morning." syria's foreign minister says his country will accept russia's offer to hand over its chemical weapons. there are many questions this morning. we veal more of charlie's exclusive interview with bashar al assad. neighbors in one area of wine known for grapes feel like they're the ones getting crushed. last night's u.s. open did not disappointment. rafael nadal talks about his rally to beat i don't vac djokovic. syria's foreign minister

says they'll access russia's proposal. there's still no detailed plan. >> would you give up chemical weapons if it would prevent the president from authorizing a strike? >> the president of course was showing a great deal of skepticism. he says this has to be verifiable. it has to be enforceable. >> the best test would be the syrian acceptance of international monitors to go to these chemical weapon sites immediately. >> an experimental drug could save her life but drugmaker won't give it to her. >> i'd like to understand why. i don't understand. it's her last hope. >> it's unclear whether george zimmerman was actually armed when he went to see his wife at his parent's home. >> i don't know what he's capable of. i'm really really scared. >> princeton number one. >> princeton edged out harvard. >> an epic finish at the u.s. open. nadal took home the trophy.

the president realizes this is not something the american people are interested in pursuing. >> americans are afraid of long-term involvement. like george clooney, he doesn't want it either. i'm charlie rose with gayle king and norah o'donnell. potentially major developments coming out of syria. the country's foreign minister says his country will accept the russian proposal to put chemical weapons on international control. >> white house correspondent jay carney adds, quote, this is not something you can simply take the assad regime's word for. it has to be followed up by direct and credible action. >> president obama speaks to the nation tonight at 6:00 pacific time. a new poll finds 69% of americans say the president should not proceed with strikes on syria if congress says no. only 25% say he should. among democrats, 64% are against military action.

that number rises to 74% among republicans. nancy cordes is on capitol hill this morning. nancy, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, gayle, norah, and charlie. members of congress are very intrigued by this idea of syria handing over chemical weapons. they see it as a way out of a risky and unpopular military endeavor. there were some senators who said, look this is the sign that just the threat of a military strike is working, all the more reason for members of congress to vote yes on this resolution. so far most of their colleagues don't appear to be listening to them. take a look at the latest numbers. as of yesterday, there was one senator who told us they were going to vote yes. there were six senators who said they were going to vote no. and one of those was originally a yes who changed their vote. as it stands this morning, there are 23 senators in the yes column, 23 in the no column.

it's tied. now, the original plan was for the senate to vote tomorrow but senate leader harry reid announced last night he is going to hold off on scheduling that vote. he says he wants to wait to see where things stand after senate democrats and senate republicans meet with the president for lunch in a couple of hours here on capitol hill and after they hear what he has to say in his televised address. and there are many members who want to postpone things a day or two any way to see how things shake out with this syrian offer to turn over its chemical weapons. if they don't have to take a vote at all, many of them would welcome it. it's a very difficult vote with many of their constituents opposed. norah, charlie gayle? >> extraordinary. we hear the president after sort of receiving the idea in my conversation that he might be acceptak accepted it has a life of it own. >> they have tactically acknowledged that they do have chemical weapons since they will

be willing to turn them over. >> there's thoughtful analysis in the papers today actually verifying and getting these chemical weapons is a lengthy, prolonged process. i bet that's why the president tonight might say that's why i need this authority from congress. >> it was interesting in the interview he kept denying they don't have chemical weapons. >> he didn't deny. he said he'd neither confirm or deny. in 1982 syria's president assad, the father of the current president, ruled the country for three decades. it's estimated anywhere from 10,000 to 40,000 people were killed in the month-long siege. on sunday i asked bashar al assad about his father's influence on what's happening today. >> you and i talked about this today. we remember hama and your father. he ruthlessly set out to

eliminate the muslim brotherhood. are you simply being your father's son here? >> i don't know what you mean by ruthless because -- >> you know what happened by hama. >> i've never heard about soft war. have you heard of soft war? any war is ruthless. when you fight terrorists you fight like any other war. >> the lessons you have here are the lessons you learned from your father what he did in hama, which it is said influenced you greatly. >> said what? sorry? >> it is said that what you father did at hama influenced you greatly in terms of your understanding of what you have to do. >> the question what would you do as american if the terrorist invading your country from different areas and started killing tens of thousands. >> you keep saying he's a terrorist. in fact it is a popular

revolution people believe against you that was part of the arab spring that was influence bid the other countries. >> revolution should be syrian. it can't be a resolution from abroad. >> it started here. >> those people that started here, they support the government. that's what you don't know. you don't know as american you don't know as reporter. that's why talking about what happened at the very beginning is completely different from what's happening now. it's not the same. there's very high dynamic, things that are changing on daily basis. completely different image. those people that want the revolution, they are cooperating with us. >> i'm asking you again, is it in fact you being your father's son and you believe the only way to drive out people is to eliminate them to same way your father did? >> in being independent, yes. in fighting terrorism, yes. in defending the syrian people and the country, yes. >> and his father killed tens of

thousands of people with gas. >> exactly. >> given the ruthlessness of this regime why should we believe syria's foreign minister when they say they're willing to surrender control of chemical weapons. >> back to the point you raised. it would be with u.n. inspectors which prove to be very difficult in iraq as you obviously know. so at some point it's trust but verify as reagan used to say. it was fascinating and frightening to watch the two of you together. he went toe to toe with you at every step. all day long yesterday people kept stopping me on the street asking me how did charlie rose get that interview. and other than "i am charlie rose," i wasn't sure what answer was. how did it happen? how did it come together? very quickly, i hear. >> indeed. we didn't finally get it done until literally days before. it took place because i had asked for an interview. we had talked with jeff hague, the chairman of cbs and

executive producer about the possibility of doing this. then it seemed to be going nowhere because of different hang-ups. then because of the pbs program, we said why don't we give you an unedited interview, which is the same thing i did with the president of the united states. >> that appealed to them. >> once we got there, willing to -- they didn't make any effort to change content. they didn't have any interest. there was nothing off the record. they didn't have any sense of saying you can't go here can't talk about here. none. it was the president -- this is going to be a very tough interview. they said the president would like for you to be that way. >> they said he was so calm and composed on camera. everyone kept saying he seems, dare i say normal he seems very in control, very calm. what was he like off camera? >> same way. absolute. >> how did you get into damascus? it's not easy to get there. >> first of all, you can't fly in. every time evidence' been there

before, i have flown in. we flew to beirut. the cbs news organization was enormously helpful because they have people on the ground in damascus and beirut. they make these trips back and forth. we flew into beirut jeff bayer, paul needham and me. we drove into one check point after another, got to the border and we met on the other side, got our visas and drove into damascus. one hour later we were talking with officials of the syrian government. >> were you wearing bulletproof vests? >> we had them but we weren't wearing them. >> you had satellite phones? >> it took forever for them to examine the satellite phones. finally we had to leave them and pick them up on the way back. we didn't have armed guard, all those kinds of things. >> i think it's important to point out, not only the difficulty in getting into damascus. there are no american

journalists in syria except for elizabeth palmer in terms of reporting what's really going on there is difficult. >> we were making that case as hard as we could, that they needed to do more of that and especially for cbs colleagues who were there now. >> i have to say it was one of those days yesterday where you go, i work with charlie rose yes, i do. in 37 career tche in 37 car rhee matches,

or whether this was a niche area that we needed to pay attention to. we decided, of course we knew ian for about a decade before we started looking into this. what we saw was an element of every customer's demands. so edition will be the most extreme for us. whether you look at the ritz-carlton ritz-carlton, everybody is looking for a richer experience than 10 or 15 years ago because they can have a richer experience. >> most people choose marriott because it's affordable. and you have a range all the way to ritz-carlton. >> edition is going to be luxury hotels but they're going to be luxury hotels that offer both extraordinary design and great service. that's one of the weaknesses we saw in this space. was too often for great design you had to compromise service. a great lobby but -- >> were you all picking out

fabric swatches and colors? did you say i want a certain color scheme and a certain look. fabric is very important, ian, you know exactly what i mean? >> you know it's not really about the price. it's about the value. the experience you that want that's what set us apart from every hotel out there. >> and the look that you're going for. that's why i'm hung up about the fabrics. i do think the look creates a certain feel. what was the look you were going for? >> we wanted a no look. invisible design. we wanted something really really simple, when you walked in you felt really great and it wasn't so precious and it wasn't what will i call design on steroids. >> two questions, one is where do you find the ideas? i mean want to create an experience. where do you find it? do you travel? do you go everywhere you can? what is it that gives you i osmosis basically this -- >> on the street, charlie, all the ideas are out on the street

in a very kind of raw way. and you kind of have to grab on to something that other people don't see and interpret it. >> and does it necessarily have to be that more expensive to be that more creative and more interesting and exponential? >> absolutely not. the three that we're doing on our balance sheet, the editions miami, new york, and london. they're all very expensive real estate markets. they also benefit from being great hotel markets. >> can't wait. can't wait for the new york. >> ian schrager arne sorenson great to have you both here. thank you so much. >> good looking tie, too. gloria estefan and her husband emilio are in our toyota green room this morning. good morning. we're going to talk

your voice is so perfect for that type of music. you say it's full circle for you? >> it is it's full circle. a lot of people say it's something that deviate from what i do but not really, my ballads came to being, these standards, songs like this not only from cuba but johnny mathis sinatra, and gene autry, moonriver, it's a wonderful world. it's truly my heart. >> you say this has been on the back burner for a long time? >> it has, when we first played "conga" on "the tonight show" with johnny carson. they asked us to do two. they said do you have something that people know well. i said well i'd like to do "good morning heartache."

it was great. i sat at the piano with shelli berg who played piano. he's the dean of my alma matta. he asked me to sit in as a trustee for the people. and i said what about good morning heart. do you know that one. he transformed the idea. >> how long have you two been together? >> well we've been together -- >> 35? >> marriage. >> she makes the whole decision on her career. i make my own decision. of course, we consult each other. i think it's communication and respect and love. i think it's very difficult to work with your wife. >> i can imagine. >> 35 years. we love each other. >> listen you've been dating gloria since you were 17. >> he was my first and only. >> the only man she's ever been with. the first time i heard that i

went really? >> listen you never know anybody else. you don't know. >> but at one point, how do you lose the husband part -- how do you navigate the manager part and the husband part? because sometimes, those overlap and they're not always in sync. >> it took a while. you're right they're not always in sync. he's got a good commercial mind and an ear for what people love. he works very much along those lines. especially in the beginning when they'd offer me all this money do an endorsement for a product. and i didn't particularly like the product. i'd say to him, hmm, i'm not going to do it. he said i'd eat the can for a quarter of the money they're giving me. >> and now the estefans are grandparents too. >> how cool is that. >> our son nayeb had a baby 14 months old, they lived 3,000

miles away in l.a. for a long time but now they're back. >> and playing music in cuba what's going on there? >> well you know a lot of great music for years and years. the thing sometimes when you live in a communist country, you cannot sing or write whatever you want. in that country -- it's very much -- >> freedom of expression. >> there's a lot of rappers that are breaking ground there and they're kind of bucking the system and they're getting a lot of following from cubans. if you really don't toe the political line there you have no chance of being played on public which they own all the stations. it's tough. it was shut down for a long time. even when they did baena vista, that social album. it was the glories of the old cuban music and nobody knew about them. tough. >> wow, still making it happen after all these years.

>> thank you so much. >> congratulations to you guys. >> thank you. >> "the standard" goes on sale today. with this year's u.s. open in the history books we'll show you how its former home is finding a future. that story is next. tomorrow on "cbs this morning," dale earnhardt jr. will be here in studio
