3:11 am
dictator's offensive on civilians as quote, extermination. holly williams has been reporting on the horror of this war which is also captured in these pictures you are about to see. >> reporter: another child victim of a war that even adults struggle to understand. this little boy trapped under a slab of concrete until a volunteer rescue workers managed to free him. we can't verify these videos but they appear to show the death and brutal offensive by syrian regime around the city of aleppo backed by russian air strikes. with the help of its ally, iran on the ground, the syrian regime has almost entirely surrounded aleppo. and is now less than 20 miles from the turkish border. that's where tens of thousands
3:12 am
lives. though they still haven't been allowed to cross into safety. turkey's absorbed more than 2 million syrian refugees. and now says it has reached its limit. leaving these exhausted people stranded. mohamed hussein al-ahmed is spokesman for a group and now they have lost their supply route. how long can you hold out? how long is it until aleppo falls to the regime? >> translator: i can't say for aleppo falls to the regime. or iran and russia, he told us. we'll stand and fight who ever attacks us. >> reporter: the syrian rebels, some of which are backed by the u.s., rose up against the regime nearly five years ago. if they're now defeated, scott, syria would be divided between

3:14 am
wisdom from -- >> uh-huh. >> from overcoming challenges. figuring out really hard problems. i told somebody in, in -- another interview though that, probably the most important thing and maybe this is just a function of age as well as -- having been around the track a while. as president. you lose that fear. you lose that sense of, oh, what if something goes wrong. because there are going to be things that go wrong. you lose that, that tightness that comes from being very self-conscious about not making mistakes. at a certain point, you realize, look, you do your best. you make, make your call, make your decision. most of the time it is going to work. but not going to work perfectly. going to have to continue to make adjustments. that gives you a certain confidence that allows you to play a little better. >> the president with gayle king in the oval office. i can't remember seeing the president and first lady do a joint interview. >> you can't remember because it
3:15 am

3:22 am
dr. van der linden helped sound the alarm. scott so many questions remain. does zika help cause microcephaly. is something else playing a role? how do we protect ourselves from the virus? finally what will happen to the babies as they grow up? >> dr. jon lapook tonight. jon, thank you. every chipotle restaurant in the country closed for four hours today so employees could get a briefing on food safety. via the internet. chipotle had a number of health cares including an e.coli outbreak. the cdc gave it the all clear just last week. the national zoo is sharing pictures of bei-bei, the panda cub. learned to climb a tree. then it got stuck. fortunately mom was there to make sure the cub didn't tumble. he will figure it out soon enough. from bei-bei to beyonce, putting her mark on the halftime
3:23 am
welcome to the overnight news. the people of new hampshire head to the polls today to cast the primary votes in the race for the white house. much of the state is in the grips of a snowstorm and that should affect voter turnout. the latest polls show bernie sanders and donald trump with commanding leads. for the gop, donald trump is at 30%. with john kasich a strong push at 14%, followed by marco rubio,
3:24 am
for the democrats, sanders over hillary clinton by 22 points. john dickerson spoke to both democratic candidates for face the nation. >> senator, while you were in new york, north koreans launched a long-range missile. as president you would face that thing all the time. very often. what secretary clinton is saying you don't have the experience to be ready for those kinds of challenges on day one? >> well that's what she said about barack obama in 2008. turned out not to be true. i'm impressed by the quality of his foreign policy. furthermore, on the most important foreign policy issue, in modern history, the war in iraq, i voted against the war. i led the opposition against the war. and if you go to my website, berniesanders.com, you will see that much of what i feared would happen, in fact, did happen. on the other hand. secretary clinton voted for the
3:25 am
so, i think it is not just experience, obviously, she has been a secretary of state for four years. bit is judgment as well. but it is judgment as well. i am confident i can put together a strong team to provide great foreign policy for the people of the united states. >> when you're president and there is a crisis you need to instill confidence in the country. in looking at the debates it is clear you're confident talking economic issues, income inequality. when it comes to foreign policy, you are less confident. how would you, how would you show confidence as a president on the issues? >> john, i think that is a media narrative that goes round and round and round. i don't accept that media narrative. again on the most important issue of our time. i was right. hillary clinton was wrong. this is the same argument made against barack obama in 2008. i will assemble a topnotch foreign policy team.
3:26 am
and strong foreign policy for the people of the united states. what i believe right now is that we have got to learn the lessons of iraq. that its that the united states of america cannot do it alone. that we have to work in coalition, we have to work in coalition with major countries and with muslim countries whose troops will be on the ground. my main concern, terms of the mideast, is to make certain that the united states does not get involved in perpetual warfare in the quagmire of iraq and syria. in afghanistan. >> you have talked a lot about donations hillary clinton receives from service sector. in debate she called that an artful smear. what is your response to that? >> it is a fact. when in the last reporting period, her superpac received $25 million. $15 million from wall street.
3:27 am
that is the fact. >> she says you can't point to a single vote that she changed or an opinion that she changed, can you? >> nobody who has a superpac, gets money, republican or democrat from the pharmaceutical industry from fossil fuel industry from wall street there has never been a politician in history who said that money influences me. it's just, people have thrown millions and millions into the campaign, but there is no reason why they're throwing that money into the campaign. i think, you know the american people know better. so i have never impugned a secretary clinton's integrity. i like secretary clinton. but we have a corrupt campaign finance system. i am proud, i do not have a super pac. we have raised $3.5 million individual contributions averaging $27 apiece. >> barack obama received a lot of money from the same groups. is he in the same fix as hillary clinton? >> it is a corrupt, it is a corrupt campaign finance system.
3:28 am
at the very top of my list, of goals that i want to accomplish, as president of the united states. it does not mean that billionaires should be annal to buy elections. >>en the townhall the other night you said the financial interests "are not giving me very much money now." according to "the washington post" analysis, donors at hedge funds, banks, insurance companies and other financial services firms have given you at least $21.4 million. 10% of what you raised. that's a lot of money. >> that's no the calculation that we have done. that's somebody's analysis the i will not argue with it. what is really going on here, john is disturbing to me. i'll be frank with you. what the sanders campaign is trying to do is link donations to my political campaign or really donations to any one's political campaign with undue influence with changing people's
3:29 am
i have never, ever done that. i really do resent the implication or i said the other night the insinuation. it would be like saying, president obama who took probably more money from wall street, any democrat has in 2008 with his successful campaign was therefore, disqualified. we know that was not true. he signed the toughest, financial regulation since the 1930s with the dodd frank bill. you know this is -- a very artful smear. and i am just not going to sit and take it anymore. >> are you saying on the questions that, people from the financial services industry have no greater access to you than anybody else? >> i'm saying that i am available to and open to listening to people from all walks of life. i always have been. i've always will be. talk to the, if people want to
3:30 am
they know i called them out on the mortgage market mess before the great crash happened. i always like to remind people it was not me, senator sanders who voted to deregulate swaps and derivatives which gave lyman brothers extra leverage one of the contributing factors to their collapse which obviously contribute to what happened in the great recession. we could take these step by step and try to unwind them. it doesn't change the basic facts. people know where i stand. i have rolled out. toughest, effective effort to rein in financial abuse of anybody in the campaign. goes further than dodd frank and glass steegle, and goes into shadow banking, hedge funds, carried interest loophole. that is full disclosure. i am on the record. if somebody in one of the firms wants to give me money. hope they know they're giving money to someone that makes sure they never wreck the economy again.

>> for republicans the new hampshire primary has become a race to see who will come in second. donald trump has a wild lead. john kasich leapfrogged marco rubio who had a tough time in the weekend's gop debate. >> let's dispel with the fiction. that barack obama doesn't know what he is doing. he knows exactly. i would add this, let's dispel with this fiction, what he is doing. doing. the notion that barack obama
3:34 am
he knows exactly what he is doing. >> there it is. the memorized, 25 second speech. there it is. >> both rubio and trump took questions from charlie, gayle and nora. on "cbs this morning." >> we wanted to replay your best lines from the debate saturday night. want to give you the opportunity. rather than repeating that about president obama why not discuss the charge lodged against you that you are eloquent but don't have the experience to be president. >> my experience is understood all. all over the website. we have discussed it repeatedly. i was the speaker of the florida house. imminent domain abuse stopped in florida because of me. despite the fact the democrats controlled the senate, i have accomplished things in the senate, restrictions on hezbollah, the effort for the bailout, the va accountability. but the core out campaign is that statement. i am going to continue to say it. barack obama is deliberately carrying out a strategy to change america. he wants to redefine the country.
3:35 am
running. one of the reasons i feel so good about our debate performance. despite whatever the media people want to say. the biggest fund-raising night we have had in all of the debates. so i feel great. we will say the truth. barack obama is systematically trying to carry out an effort to change the country. this election is important. need to stop that from continuing. >> you understand the criticism no doubt that president obama was a one-term senator he can give a good speech but hasn't turned out to be a good president is the charge. >> yeah, barack obama has seven years of presidential experience. as the bad today as he was in the first year. if experience was the issue. after seven years of presidential experience he would have improved. the issue is he is carrying out an effort to chaining the country to make it like the rest of the world. obama care was not an accident. dodd frank was not an accident. the deal with iran was not an accident they may have been incompetent how they manage government daily basis.
3:36 am
these are strategies to redefine the role of the government and the country and that's one of main reasons i'm running. if we continue on the road it will deny our children to live in the greatest country. i hope they keep replaying the lines. >> all right. lot of people are wondering abut your strategy on that. let's move on. you said coming out of iowa. you were the guy, marco rubio. marco rubio. after the debate. he took a big fall. how do you feel about your debate performance? how are you feeling going into new hampshire? >> i feel great about it. voters across the country and here in new hampshire got to hear me say repeatedly the truth. barack obama is trying to redefine the role of our government in the country and america's role in the world. the evidence, we raised more money in the first hour of the debate than any other debate. we feel great. end of the day.
3:37 am
most serious voters in the country if not the most. they look at issues. underlying factors. they've want candidates that don't just know. have a plan and strategy moving forward. that's what we built our campaign on it. we feel great about the dividend it will pay in 24 hours. >> senator, can i ask you, your campaign is taking heat for a mailer you send, pac sent. jeb bush wearing a crown alluding to members of his family including his mother, barbara bush. donald trump derided him for asking his mommy for help. should barbara bush be should,000 jeb -- should jeb bush's 90-year-old mother, barbara bush, be off-limits in the campaign. do you denounce the mailer that your pac sent. >> i haven't seen the mailer. second not from my campaign. third, we are at a stage where i had close to $35 million of adds run against me. many from jeb bush's super pac. down to the final moments. i have tremendous respect for the bush family, jeb, no matter
3:38 am
i will have admiration, respect, and affection for him. this is not about him, his family. it's about america. future of the country. what kind of country this is going to be in the 21st century. >> we feel very good. did well in iowa. we came in a strong second. would have come in first had the votes not shifted from ben which was a terrible thing that was done to ben carson in my opinion. frankly i think we are doing really well in new hampshire. i hope to do well. i hope, charlie, talking about a snowstorm tomorrow. not what i want. >> you want a big turnout. >> i want a big turnout. snowstorms generally don't help. >> boy, looks like. >> we are doing really well. we watched the debate. it seemed like you and jeb bush really got into it. he stepped up his attacks on you. >> well, you know he is trying to show he is a tough guy. he is not. he is the opposite. he spent $25 million on ads against me.
3:39 am
it has the gone nowhere. you know, very stiff guy. sort of sad to watch if you want to know the truth. spent a lot of money on ad. then goes into the debate. he tries to show he is tough about imminent domain. came out that his family is used imminent dough min to do a stadium in texas. he doesn't mention little things. i don't think he is going anywhere. don't see him having the personality to go much further. >> want to give you've the opportunity to response. he was especially tough at a townhall in new hampshire. yesterday where he called you a loser. listen. >> here is a sign of real weakness. when you call john mccain or leo thoreson, or anybody else, a pow, served the country in a way admired. american heroes. calling them losers. donald trump you are the loser. >> how would you respond to that? >> just shows the you how they lied. number one i never called john
3:40 am
i like john mccain. and supported john mccain. i said he was a hero. because the he got caught. to ape certain extent. i said he was ape hero. because he got caught. if you remember. i didn't call him a loser. he lied when he made that up. leo. i don't know who leo is. making some other name. probably an american hero. american hero. made that up. and honestly. >> another pow. >> you look at the fact, look at the fact. yeah, i just don't know him, charlie. never made a comment about him. never said that about john mccain. look at jeb. a loser. spent $110 million so far. going nowhere. the only thing he does is attack me. he thinks if he attacks me that will show he is tough. every time he attacks me. melts like butter. just a guy. really sad. every time i see an ad about myself. it is him, spending a lot of money. money. he spends money from the lobbyist and special interest to attack me. i don't see him going anywhere. last thing we need is another
3:41 am
>> story out of new hampshire so far is one that you have a huge lead. second story is that marco rubio suffered in the debate. all analysts after the debate said he really took a hard blow from the governors. what do you think of that? >> well, he did. standing next to him, to my right. he was having a hard time. interesting to watch. he made one statement. i'm one with a good memory. hearing the one statement. then a couple minutes later, he made the statement. almost identical. i said we have repeated ourselves on occasion, charlie, right. other than nora and gayle. charlie and i repeat ourselves constantly, right. then i heard all it again. a third time. fourth time. even a fifth time. and i said, wow that's really change. i didn't know it would turn out
