this shows government offensive to retake the city of homs. it's been an opposition stronghold since the start of the conflict. president assad thinks a u.s. military strike is still possible. in an interview with a latin-american tv station, he insisted the united states has a history of violating u.n. rules. >> translator: the possibilities for an offensive will always be present. at one moment under the pretext of chemical weapons and other times the pretext is different. the important thing is for decades the united states is exceeding the security council violating the charter and sovereignty of states. perhaps we should take that possibility into account everywhere in the world, and that's what we do in syria. we ask ourselves if an offensive will take place, it could be there isn't one at that time. no one knows for certain when that possibility could become reality. >> assad's lebanese ally hezbollah has been fighting alongside syrian forces. it's stated policy is to prevent damascus from falling. we have a report from beirut. >> repor

was a good decision for her and had three kids and they live a very happy middle-class life in homs, a big cityey go to the mall and buy nice clothes, then, as she told me, the missiles started to rain down on her neighborhood. it's when her kid's arm got badly burned, she decided she had enough. you think about your own neighborhood where you live and think what if that sort of thing happened to us? and i don't mean to make this sound overly dramatic, but that's what we're talking about. this is what's is happening. these are people just like us. they're parents trying to do right by their kids and by themselves and they suddenly find themselves in this situation. >> you talk about kids. i look at you, you're our chief medical correspondent, a surgeon, and also you're a dad. i know you well enough to know you're going to bed, closing your eyes and thinking of the kids in the camps. >> that's incredibly -- it's really painful. you know, i think because it's complicated as these geopolitical situations are, i can't help but think that, you know, this problem we can solve. i mean, there are kids

they continued their attack on the city of homs.ow reliable is our intelligence on where the chemical weapons are and how much they have? you know, i have heard questions all over the map. >> you know, our estimate is very good, the sarin, it is very sophisticated. reached a high level, but we were never able to monitor the actual quantity produced. so if they produced records now we would have for way to verify they were correct. >> and david, that is what we really have to rely on, the syrian regime's own accounting? >> well, not really. the interesting things about records production, it is very hard to fake all the internal connecti connections. there is input and productions, and all the immediate productionings. if you have get the numbers, you can detect that. it is easier to lie about other things, once you admit you have it, it gets very much more difficult to lie. >> and david, in terms -- i heard you use that term, secures the sites. what exactly does that mean? we're not talking about destroying the weapons, securing the

in yellow you have the regime stretching from the capital city of damascus, to homs the central area of the country. the other side, rebels, they have control of the city of aleppo, the largest city of of the country. controlling this area down sear the southern border of jordan and one area of damascus. northern fighters, and up around the northern border of turkey. these are the three areas that are watched now as the fighting goes back and forth. if there is a strike look for the central part of the country to take the brunt of that, damascus up to homs, which would appear many of the targets would be on behalf of the regime. we're watching all this. a couple weeks ago people thought you go in and hit them with a strike and the airport and airstrip and go home or you go after the chemical weapons. how do you do that and where have they moved now. all this is being factored what could or might happen in syria. martha: others believe with each passing day the dynamic changes on the ground in terms of who are the strongest among the rebel groups. very complicated to understand all of

homs. here's aleppo, the second largest city, a storage facility right near the mediterranean sea as well.er targets, what targets do you go after? well, the air force is where the syrians excel. advance it one time for me, if you can. and these are of the dozens of military bases and airports throughout the country, these are the six sites that are said to be the most prominent right now used by the assad regime, and the thinking is militarily if you can cripple the air force, you can go a long way toward helping the rebels. listening to jeff flake talk a moment ago, i mean, his point is very well taken, you know? if it's so urgent, why wait? why are we delaying this right now? why did we not already take action at a time when you think as cad can move his material around? jennifer griffin did some fine reporting last night. she believes based on what her sources are telling her that if they move anything, we see it being moved, and we know where it's going. martha: it appears that we have very good aerial capability in terms of looking at what's going on on the ground there, and there is

homs. >> people have been kidnapped. fighters from the moro international front want an independent homeland for the minority muslims. >> bernard smith reports. a shoot out in the heart of a southern philippines city. government soldiers are exchanging fighters with the fighters from the moro liberation front. residents ran for cover. some were killed in the crossfire. >> translation: i saw them roaming around and knocking at the door to my master's house. they got the people inside and took them away. >> the mmlf wants self-rule forrist lambs. it's -- forrist lambs. it's broken away from the larger group. >> we can't to - the conclusion is we want to have our own government, we want independent nation >> police estimate that around 20 mlf fighters are holding up to 15 people hostage in the crowded neighbourhood of rio hond. the done men fled after a night-time battle at sea where their flotilla was intercepted by a navy chrome. >> lieutenant colonel is here with us. is the hostage situation continuing? >> yes, it is. unfortunately there has been host inls held by the rogue -- hostages held by the rogue break away group. currently we are trying to contain, to prevent it from spilling over to other

city. it's no longer civil unrest. the clamp-down leads to civilians taking up arms. by october the siege of homs is underway, the first intense artillery barrage. it destroys the district, and within a year its full-scale civil war. in may 2012 the massacre of civilians at hula escalates sectarian hatred. there are more to follow. and by july air strikes on civilian areas are the norm. towards the end of year, the regime's tactics involve another weapon, missiles devastating rebel-held areas. often heavily populated by civilians. as the time line gets to 2013, there are deaths from chemical attacks culminating in august with the mass killing in the outskirts of damascus. many believe assad should have been less forceful two and a half years ago when the iranians tried to stop him. >> iran were very clear to bashar. they did not want him to be using military tactics to solve this problem. the iranians didn't want him to get into trouble, but he did. when he did, they had to back him up because he was their ally. >> reporter: midway through 2012 they said it looked like the start of the end game f
