3:02 am
there can be no dispute that syria used chemical weapons, violated its obligations under the chemical weapons convention and ignored the urging of the u.n. security council. years of previous attempts at changing assad's behavior have all failed and failed very dramatically. as refugee crisis continues to deepen, and the region continues to threatening the united states and its allies.all on all civil nations to join us in seeking end the slaughter and bloodshed in syria. and al of all kinds and all types.

3:06 am
we could expect to see some sort of statement out of them later today, that is a bit more aggressive. if you will. that would be fully expected. we are hearing from prime minis israel praised this as message" that's obviously what frying tr. he want to send a strong, clear message. that's what secretary of stetil. he said i think it doesntrump is willing to act. now, this send a act. but as martha was just stay air. this as it handfulf structures, planes, yes this was a base very heavily used by the syrian military. but you just heard there in the clip you played of president trump of trying to change assad's behavior has failed.o change his behavior.
3:07 am
now, it could -- it could be seen as a shot across the as a warning. to not do anything more. but -- this is, this is not a major action againsts -- >> let me ask you quickly. >> we see you. >> didn't mean to cut you kw yo recently. will it have an impact at all on his actions? based on what youis this situat? >> it could. i mean a lot of people are theorizing after the chemical basically acting with immunity. saying i don't think the u.s. is going to respond. of, of american patience. clearly he has -- he has tested thos domestic concerns as well in the states. president trump is eager to show he is tougher than president obama. this very well could change -- change theiral a lot more complicated. iranians, russians and coalition partners, with america. so there are a lot of
3:08 am
ingredients in this. i, i think that, what the assad regime will probably end up doing is scaling back their chemical weapons attacks. keep in mind we have seen many others not just this one. >> fact is, isn't c you, can you hear us, apologize. a little delay. isn't assad and syria denying they had anything to do with the chemical weapon attack. we heard from russia speaking out as ally to syria saying this was an act by rebels. >> reporter: they are denying it foreign minister came out yesterday and said, exactly that. they deny any sort of sponl responsibility. the syrian military bombing a rebel chemical facility. and that that caused the, the chemical agents to be but chemical weapons specialists, people who poured over the video, say, that that is very unlily reasons. first of all, a nerve agent like sarin, we believe it is, is
