"the syrian government took a first step by giving an accounting of its stockpiles. now, there must be a

strong security council resolution to verify that the assad regime is keeping its commitments, and there must be consequences if they fail to do so." but the resolution would not authorize an automatic use of force if syria violates the resolution. this tentative agreement could fall apart, but it's the close the u-s and russia have come to a resolution. i'm ed payne reporting. u-n inspectors returned to syria on wednesday to look into more claims of alleged chemical weapons use by the syrian government and also by rebels. another giant leap for man kind... laughing earlier this morning .... a soyuz capsule carrying an american, and two russians, docks with the international space station doubling the size of the crew at the orbiting outpost to six. the crew's six month mission will include a

5:17 am
jury is still out on whether the theatrical talkfest changed any senate minds. dana bash spoke with senator ted cruz in senate chambers after his long, long speech. after 21 hours and 19 minutes standing his feet - ted cruz finally sat down much of his talkathon was against obamacare it's a red herring being used to move the country to a single-payer system. but the memorable moments, were those that veered...off topic i want to take an opportunity to read two bedtime stories to my girls. i do so
5:18 am
like green eggs and ham. thank you, thank you, sam i am he tried his own dr seuss they did not like obamacare in a box with a fox in a house or with a mouse this was all about firing up the grass roots, he encouraged supporters to tweet him obama caree aint nobody got time for that. all caps and three exclamation points. make dc listen. most republicans oppose cruz' mission -- trying to defund obamacare on a must-pass spending bill . they worried it could cause a government shutdown and they"d get the blame. and they worried its mired in process thats hard to explain: case in point: in the end - he joined all senators in voting for a procedural measure he seemed to argue against. by 1am he got punchy a few words of wisdom from "duck dynasty." redneck rule number one. most things can be
5:19 am
fixed can duct tape and extension cords. when the sun came up - even more so i will confess that phrase a rebellion against oppression' conjured up to me the rebel alliance fighting against the empire / how do you feel standing there for so long? dana, to be honest, i feel terrific. i feel energized that the american people had an opportunity, i hope, to engage in this debate and to have their voice heard but back on the floor - cruz was scorched from all sides. democrats... for lack of a better way of describing this it has been a big waste of time. the government is set to shut down in a matter of hours and republicans. john mccain was furious that cruz likened gop detractors to britains neville chamberlain in world war two, who argued for appeasement of adolf hitler let's appease them.' why? because it can't be done. we can't possibly stand against them.' and in america there were voices that listened to that mccain said that insulted americans who mccain said that
5:20 am
insulted americans who fought. amongst them were my father and grandfather. i do not agree with that comparison. i think it's wrong and i think it is a disservice to those who stood up and shouted at the top of their lungs that we cannot appease. straight ahead... a gorilla who likes people... but not other primates. why "patrick" is such a loner... and how zoo workers are trying to change that.

especially females. john berman has more on a gorilla behaving badly. this is patrick. he's a bit of a loner. the 430-pound western lowland gorilla has been characterized as anxious, even troubled. zoo officials say patrick gets along fine with humans, but tends to go all ape on the ladies, once biting a female his bachelor pad at the dallas zoo and being moved to the riverbanks zoo in south carolina, where they will work to re-socialize him. he will have a visual or site of other gorillas, he will smell them, he can vocalize back and forth with them. and that in itself will be quite stimulating for him. patrick's troubles stem back to his childhood. born at the bronx zoo in 1990, his mother abandoned him. he was raised by humans at the toronto zoo until he was 5, which could be a reason why he's anti-social around other gorillas. male gorillas are
5:24 am
obviously territorial and certainly assertive in their behavior and in their nature. their behavioral profiles and their history are always unique and different and that's what we find intriguing about him. not to give patrick more of a complex, but his replacement at the dallas zoo is pretty impressive. zola the gorilla breakdances!!! yes, that's right breakdances. he's being brought in to take patrick's place in dallas. wouldn't you be depressed too? coming up... a former teacher convicted of raping a student... is about to get out of jail. why he spent just one month... behind bars... for his crimes.
