i know that king abdullah is committed to trying to find these kinds of solutions. so am i.ht? thank you. >> president obama's first on camera comments regarding the situation with syria, saying it will not be solved overnight. and it is still to be determined when or how these chemical weapons were used. the president also indicating he is working with international allies to come up with a plan as part of the reaction to there ongoing story that broke around the same time yesterday. news that syria had used chemical weapons against its own people. these the first remarks on camera regarding the latest developments in that international ongoing story. and nbc news has received details about the bombs used by the boston suspects. they went beyond the instructions detailed in the al qaeda magazine "inspire." the surviving suspect admitted using. meanwhile, authorities from a boston hospital to a prison facility. he is now at the decommissioned base ft. devens north of boston. mike isikoff, what else did we get from that new report? >> reporter: well, actually, the main point

in fact, arab foreign ministers are in washington, d.c., the president is meeting king abdullah of jordanthe thing that comes out of the arab world right now is they want the united states to help in putting an end to this conflict. the problem, though, ises there a crisis of credibility because of the lasting legacy of the iraq war in that part of the world. when you go through what the united states experienced and the legacy of that made against the claims of there being weapons of mass destruction, right now when there are clear signs that there are weapons of mass destruction being used in syria, when there are 80,000 civilians that have been killed, there's a reluctance on the u.s. to get involved, and that has created this paralysis that is now being exploited by the syrian government to continue ahead with the killing of the people there. and there's an international stalemate. keep in mind, when the united states has tried to go through the united nations, russia has blocked all attempts in trying to resolve this conflict from that point. and that's why we see this conflict still

abdullah walked out of court after reading a short statement. it is believed he had a conflict of interest. a retrial over involvement in the death of hundreds of militants. we have more from cairo. >> the collapse of this trial just another controversial episode in what has been a very controversial legal process. the judge already is a disputed figure. it leaves another issue not totally resolved -- the question of what is going to happen to president hosni mubarak. people have suggested he might have a case for being freed on bail now because the life sentence he was given in june of last year now does not apply anymore, but there seemed to be keep himher charges to under arrest for the foreseeable future. >> human rights activists are demanding the egyptian government make public the results of a fact-finding commission set up by president morsi to gather evidence for the mubarak retrial. the commission found that the egyptian army was some balls in torture and murder during the revolution. on thursday, president morsi appeared on television

today, president obama meets with king abdullah at the white house. this is a domestic economic problem for jordan. and that's something that he's going bring up with the president today. >>> hanging over the debate about intervention in syria is the last time an administration had intelligence on a country use i using weapons of mass destruction that turned into a march to military intervention. the dedication of the bush library in dallas added an immediacy to that shadow that hangs over the syria debate or at least that the white house was being eager to use it as a way to put the brakes on a rush to war yesterday. the white house's liaison referred to iraq wmd in the letter asking whether assad had used weapons. given the stakes involved and what we have learned from our own recent experience, intelligence assessments alone are not sufficient. only credible and corroborated facts that provide us with some degree of certainly will guide our decision making. a senior administration official repeated that warning. the house and senate chairs were qui

now thousands of kurds have gathered to celebrate the birthday of the jailed leader abdullah. these are pictures of a rally by supporters on wednesday. at least in the last celebrations last year but this time it is different because a few weeks ago he called for a cease-fire. -- the turkish will be here's vernon smith. >> this is the birthplace of the leader of the armed kurdish people and it's his birthday today and he inspires a cult-like following amongst his supporters. and this is a man who has admitted his pivotal role in a three-decade-long conflict that's claimed more than 40,000 rights here in turkey. for the first time there seems to be a real chance to feast there's time to be sent in prison and then another wants to create a more powerful presidency here in turkey that he may one day take, and he needs support of the kurds in parliament to implement the constitutional changes that would allow him to create that. >> a fourth person has now decide from a new strain of bird flu in china. he age 7 and age 9 strain of bird flu has been found. >> for doctors in shanghai

now, president obama, as you mentioned, thomas, will be meeting with jordan's king abdullah today. one of the united states' key arab allies. and of course, jordan is not only a neighbor to syria, but as you pointed out, has 500,000 syrian refugees at this point in time. that number is expected to double by the end of the year. so that as many as a fifth of the jordanian population could be from syria. so, jordan certainly has a stake in this, and the president coming under an immense amount of pressure to make a decision in terms of how to proceed. thomas? >> well, we know that the vice president has already met with king abdullah to talk about a transition to a peaceful democratic post-assad syria. ayman, you've been on the ground in syria, and as kristen is pointing out, as we talk about the evidence and what it means, there are comparisons to the use of sarin, to the use of wmds in iraq more than a decade ago. are the ghosts of iraq really looming and looming largely over the white house as it considers what the options are for increased involvement? >> well, there's no doubt t

we must remember that in 2005, which was when prince abdullah became king abdullah of saudi arabia, he interview that within five years women might be given the right to drive, it was up to society. women there have been pushing for the right to drive. in fact in 2011 one woman who realized no statute on the books actually posted videos of herself driving. she was detained for nine days because of that. that galvanized support for the issue. there was a huge campaign in saudi arabia, hundreds of women went around different saudi cities driving and posting pictures on twitter and youtube and facebook and other social networking sites. there's a real movement to get women the right to drive, but it hasn't happened yet and it's led to a lot of frustration. womens rights activists saying they want this right now. and in saudi arabia, women, they cannot open bank accounts, they cannot get educated, they can't go even traveling out of the country without the permission of their male guardian. >> and, mohamed, we cover that quite a bit that whole protest and the arrest that followed that and

king abdullah just appointed 30 women to the shura council and there are little baby steps but it's not enough for women to, like, disagree in public or have a show like yours in saudi arabia that's knot an opti for this women. >> disrespect for women is fundamental human rights. it's disrespect. so it's not about playing oppression olympics saying it's so bad here that therefore what we do over here is ok. so i think it was a fair analogy that gloria steinem drew. i think what is really interesting about what is happening in saudi arabia, i'm glad you brought up the king allowing women in the parliament. the good thing about the per point there's 20 percent. that's the same number of women that's we have here in the united states and congress over all is worse. so it's amazing if you think about there's a lot of commonality in the struggle for women humans rights even though the specifics are different. >> what gloria steinem did, and she knows how to make an analogy and how far they go. it's essential live what women all over the world are doing. they're taking specific criticisms tha

. >> my question is abdullah with the security forces, intelligence forces are great. is he able to get those syrian fighters, those regime fighters fighting against the regime to come and train? >> yes. >> they've been able to get them in there? >> they're coming in increasing numbers. into jordans. >> they're resisting that. military action, as you mentioned, won't be a cake walk. at least according to former cia officer bob bear. he told politico, "it will be like walking into a giant lawn mower blade. this is worse than iraq in terms of putting troops inside syria's borders. it's more chaotic and more likely you will lose a lot of troops." bob is a respected guy. he's addressing troops on the ground. is anybody on our side, our quarter, mccain, anybody, saying put in the troops, paratroopers? david? >> yes, there's been a lot of military plans for different kinds of units without going into the specifics that would go in in the event we decided to take military action. the problem is, you've got a lot of additional things to do like take out syrian air defenses. it

>> president obama in the oval office, meeting with king abdullah of jordan.was talking about the question about whether or not bashar al assad, the ruler of syria, whether or not there is some conclusive evidence he used chemical weapons against the people. he said this is not an on or off switch, it is a long process, and to make sure the evidence is real and concrete. a lot of questions about whether or not bashar al assad -- if he used chemical weapons or moved around chemical weapons, that would be a red line. a lot of questions still remaining according to president obama as to whether or not that actually happened. they say with varying degrees of confidence according to the intelligence agencies in this country, they believe he may have. >> given what broke about syria in the last 24, 48 hours and what happened here in boston last two weeks, you know, the president has a precarious line to walk with the white house correspondents dinner. you've been there, i've been there two years in a row now. when i come back, i want to ask you your take, having cov

intense and gunfire by let's get a more from a damascus base our correspondent dillema was xeni abdullah what can you tell us about the explosion. and. very close to bankruptcy. i mean if it kind of reaction to what's happening right now well you know i mean is it. going on in a very huge military operation against opposition fighters and. explosion is that you should really i was really close by that's minute and it causes huge distraction in the building around including one mosque and one schools. i don't know what's been the reaction around you where you are what everybody is saying right now it's clear that it's the opposition who is doing this everyone is terrified and more among the civilians here but everyone saying this could be the reaction from the opposition a lot of the military operation that's going on under damascus because if the baby the government forces announced that they had on floor a huge part of the democrats because it was a big fighting and this is also a response to the campaign that the opposition is being doing over the media saying that doing. the campaign

of the conflict being accused of sexual assault syrian academic a member of the syrian dollars dr abdullah told me earlier that he thinks that rape has become one of the weapons in the conflict. those who are committing the war crimes and the. and the child abuse and and and the rapes on the ground are the very same tools that the opposition is using the opposition on the ground has house militants so called a or so-called free syrian army as well as those who fight under the umbrella of front. or other similar affiliations those are the tools who are committing these atrocities and if they are to be condemned by the opposition it means that they are condemning their own tools. a second round of talks over iran's nuclear program has begun to a somewhat slow start the sticking point being you rainy and enrichment the e.u.'s negotiators are said to have offered iran a proposal to which they're still awaiting an answer but iran has its own conditions ones that there are still a lot of questions about according to russian officials first assad mohammad marandi from the university of tehran exp

using any weapons like sarin gas against its own people, but during an oval office meeting with king abdullahalled small scale chemical attacks a game changer. coner powell joins us from jerusalem. >> reporter: u.s. officials reluctantly acknowledged that the assad regime likely used chemical weapons in the fight against rebels and most likely sarin gas. there is a lot of conflicting information about who used them, where they were used and how much chemical weapons were used. both sides accused the other side of using chemicals weapons. they called it a boldfaced lie and saying that turkey supplied the rebels chemical weapons. the president said that the u.s. will take some type of action but he stopped short saying with a action would be taken if the syrian government did use chemical weapons. obama said on friday his administration would respond deliberately and prudently to this new information, essentially reducing expectations that the united states would intervene in syria anytime soon. as the world debates the use of chemical weapons, syrian rebels attacked an air base. raid follows s

abdull abdull abdullah, the christmas day bomber. >> it will depend in part on the health of tsarnaev and how quickly they'll able to get answers from him. in the way he's coe herein and understands the questions and engage with him. i'm not trying to be cavalier about it. >> i'm not accusing you of that. >> this has been upheld by the court system. i believe the obama administration has proven and they're quite confident they will go down this route and they'll be in good shape when the prosecution begins. so when it's been done in the past, it's been about imminent threat, if you will, about whether or not abdul matullab knew about another bomb. there will be a period of time here. >> that's interesting. i want to the reset for folks watching at home, if you're just tuning in, if you've been following the news today, an amazing day has come to a conclusion, an amazing week that has arked from the horrible tragedy we saw on monday afternoon at the boston marathon and has ended in a backyard boat underneath a tarp in the town of watertown, massachusetts, probab franklin street. that a

lives each year to islamist terrorism, do you think for one minute that a young man named, say, abdullah or husseih or tsarnaev would be able to go to a gun show and buy a knockoff with a 30-round clip. amanda, is that what we are looking at here? a double standard? >> i think eugene robinson makes a great point. when you have high profile terrorist incidents we need to do everything we can to address this so not another life is lost. meanwhile tens of thousands of people are killed through handgun violence every year. these mass killings get a lot of attention and spur action but people are killed every day by handgun violence and those are often in low income urban communities where the senate is sort of overrepresented by people in pro gun states. absolutely there is far less attention i think to the epidemic of handgun violence. >> and i do think that depending to your point of what we find out about this may determine where this conversation goes but i thought it was really interesting that the national memo, for example, outlined how the nra hurts investigations like this one becau

abdullah amad tu nisei was arrested by federal authorities at the airport while he was attempted to board a plane. he is charged with trying to attempt to supply information to a foreign agency. the criminal complaint says she a close friend of the man arrested last september for trying to detonate a bomb outside of a chicago bar. >>> now, for the continuing coverage of the bomb inings in boston this morning. the suspect 19-year-old dzhokhar tsarnaev remains in serious condition, and authorities say he can't speak because of a gunshot wound suffered to the neck. and he cannot speak about the attacks, but this morning we are getting an intense look at the manhunt that found him. you are looking at infrared video shot from a helicopter watching the infrared shape of a bo body moving within a boat. and then they used a robotic arm to remove the covering, and then gun fire and you will see it now. then tsarnaev was captured. and this morning the aclu is reacting to no miranda rights red to the suspect. he should be told of his right to silence or right to an attorney, but the aclu says that t

jordan's king abdullah met with president obama today and laid out the scope of the problem. >> sincer last visit to jordan five weeks ago we have had $60,000 refugees, over half a billion. jordan's jobless rate is 20%. some lawmakers worry the toxic mix of resentment of the syrian refugees and the lack of economic opportunity for jordanians could cause political problems for the king. john? wendell goler at the white house. thank you. >>> budget cutbacks created long lines at the airports but today, congress may have figured out a solution. what lawmakers did an how long until we see results. coming up. hundreds of people could be trapped after a building collapsed. the race to rescue them coming up on the "the fox report."  try mail marketing from constantcontact. it's the fastest, easiest way to create great-looking custom e-mails that bring customers through your door. sign up for your free trial today at constantcontact.com/try. can youtart the day the way you want? can orenci(abatacept) help? could your "i want" become "i can"? talk to your rheumatologist. orencia reduces m

the president today after meeting with jordan's king abdullah was measured in his response when beingut his response of chemical weapons. >> for the syrian government to utilize chemical weapons, on its people, crosses a line that will change my capitalist and how the united states approaches these issues. so this is not an on or off switch. this is an ongoing challenge that all of us have to be concerned about and we're going to be working with the international community and partners to keep our eyes on what's happening on the ground, to gather any evidence of potential chemical weapon use. >> the president said there that's not getting a lot of play and i think is important, is that there is quote not an on or off switch. the president says this is crosses a line that is not new for my calculation. the president said this about five times in the last several months. >> there would be enormous consequence fess we start seeing movement on the chemical weapon is front or use of chemical weapons. the use of chemical weapons is, and would be, totally unacceptable. and if you make the tr

i know king abdullah is raising that issue in all of his meetings on capitol hill at the white house.ite house sent you was very carefully crafted. >> yes. >> a couple nuances. they said that in the intelligence committee they've come up with this assessment with varying degrees of confidence. i assume that means that some of the 16 u.s. intelligence agencies have different assessments on how reliable this evidence is, is that right? >> i don't know how many of these different intelligence agencies who we have have agreed or disagreed, but i think there was that caveat in the letter which i think is important and i'm sorry to say may give them an out for not acting in a decisive fashion because if they all agreed and they concluded it, then the president would have to act because he has repeatedly described it as a red line that cannot be crossed. >> and one final question before i let you go, senator. do you have any specific information on the details of when they used these chemical weapons, if in fact they did as this letter seems to suggest, the circumstances of the use of the sa

meeting with jordan's king abdullah yesterday, president obama promised, a, quote, vigorous investigationng it would be a game changer if indeed those accusations are proven to be true. >>> and texas governor rick perry wants an apology from the "sacramento bee," a california newspaper that published an editorial cartoon appearing to link perry's push for less regulation to the recent fertilizer plant explosion that killed 14 and injured many others. take a look at it. it is an image of perry saying, quote, business is booming, and it is juxtaposed with a picture of an explosion. perry responded on facebook saying, quote, i won't stand for someone mocking the tragic deaths of my fellow texans and our fellow americans. the paper is standing by that cartoon, saying it was a statement on perry's disregard for worker safety, not an attempt to disrespect victims. >>> and boeing's dreamliner is back in the air. three momo months after a globa grounding. this was the first of the dreamliners to resume service. it is one of just 50 dreamliners. >>> and to politics now, the fallout in washington o

we had king abdullah come to the united states, what he was asking for was help with a political situation, russia is in a position to help pressure assad, and i think that he has to go. i don't think there's any question about that. but, i think that all of these options have to be looked at, because the day after, the day after assad, is the day that these chemical weapons could be at risk, that if we don't address the growing sectarian that is there, and help the people who are more moderate, we could be in bigger, even bigger trouble the day after. >> i want to move on to another topic. but to sum this all up, am i hearing all of you believe that military action has to be taken but far short of actually putting u.s. boots on the ground? >> nobody's calling for boots on the ground. that has to be clear. no boots on the ground. remember, when we're talking about safe haven, equipment with the arab league goes a long way. they need specialize equipment that can take planes and helicopters out of the air so that you can train the syrian forces. >> let me move to the issue of the boston mar

just met with king abdullah. we do wto put bats on the ground. senator mccain made that very clear. our game. we need to up our game where the aid goes. too much of it is going to assad-controlled regions. that we have to make sure we're starting to do more with night goggles, armor, all kinds of things, and we have to keep these possibilities of senator mccain raised clearly on the front burner with the no-fly zone, with arming the rebels, but we cannot do this alone. it is an incredible scene what's happening in jordan. 2,500 refugees a day coming in. >> the interesting thing, mike murphy, as a political matter, this is something that will divide democrats. but republicans, too. and that's one of the things senator mccain has been speaking to. >> no, it's a complicated situation with a lot of difficult politics around it. i've been enjoying at least as an observe esh of washington the red line because the red line has turned into about a mile wide. it's a problem for a president when you draw a red line, the world is watching, including the iranians. the political problem is the c

. >> obviously, king abdullah is trying to do that, is it too late? >> wrong it is too late but he needs help and the fact that president obama was just over there, he has been just over to washington tells you that it needs a lot of attention, the refugee flows are enormous so he needs help managing that, but let's be honest, at the end of the day, how would it i put it, our influence is no not as great our interests. >> rose: you said that. >> we should do things to help us but we can't control the history of this part of the world, we can nudge it along but we may have to simply deal with consequences. >> the head of the house -- on this program friday night and say because he gets to see all the leaders that come and see the intelligence committees when they come in, every one of the them the neighborhood are saying please take some leadership here. now, what leadership might be and he said they are not asking for troops on the ground and not asking for certain kinds of weapons but they are saying the united states ought to take some leadership he

. >> my question is abdullah with the security forces, intelligence forces are great. is he able to get those syrian fighters, those regime fighters fighting against the regime to come and train? >> yes. >> they've been able to get them in there? >> they're coming in increasing numbers. >> they're resisting that. military action, as you mentioned, won't be a cake walk. at least according to former cia officer bob bear. he told politico, "it will be like walking into a giant lawn mower blade. this is worse than iraq in terms of putting troops inside syria's borders. it's more chaotic and more likely you will lose a lot of troops." bob is a respected guy. he's addressing troops on the ground. is anybody on our side, our quarter, mccain, anybody, saying put in the troops, paratroopers? david? >> yes, there's been a lot of military training for different kinds of units, without going into the specifics, that would go in in the event we decided to take military action. the problem is, you've got a lot of additional things to do like take out syrian air defenses. it's a big

. ♪ >>> president obama just wrapped up a meeting with king abdullah.cussion that couldn't be avoided is the situation in syria. that assad is likely using chemical weapons against his own people. >> knowing that potentially chemical weapons have been used inside of syria doesn't tell us when they were used, how they were used, obtaining confirmation and strong evidence. all of those things we have to make sure that we work on with the international community. in many ways, a line has been crossed when we see tens of thousands of innocent people being killed by a regime. >> the intelligence isn't 100% certain and syrian officials are denying it. likening these latest accusations to our claim that iraq had weapons of mass destruction. so where do we go from here? former pennsylvania congressman patrick murphy served in the iraq war. he brings an interesting perspective on this latest international drama. let me ask you this. look, a reluctance to get involved in syria is understandable. it is complicated over there. and even the most hawkish among us mig

i had a good conversation with king abdullah this week about that. i don't think we're at that point right now. but we're close. the fact sfor america to sit on the sidelines and do nothing is a huge mistake because the world is watching. >> , and of course, if we do, if we take the bomber action, then that may lead to something else, and that's really what i'm referring to in terms of i don't ever want to say absolutely never any boots on the ground because iran is busy here. iran is very busy here. and so is hezbollah. so it's just one were those things that i think-- i think we do need to be very cautious. >> schieffer: you know, once osama bin laden was killed, we had people around here saying that the war on terrorism is over, the threat is over. i guess we found out in boston that that's not entirely true. it does seem to be a different kind of terrorism that we're up against right now. >> this was our worst fear, and that is, a home grown terrorist, or a terrorist that was sent here to be engrained within the community on. these guys, they fle

meeting with king abdullah of jordan this afternoon, the president said the ongoing crisis is being treatedesh urgency. >> i've been very clear publicly, but also privately, that for the syrian government to yutilize chemical weapons on its people crosses the line that will change my callous culous i the united states approaches these issues. this is not an on or off wife. >> we'll have much more of that ahead. >>> we begin with a remarkable countdown to the weekend in washington and congress working with unheard of expediency to fix the problem of sequester-induced flight delays. just in time to get out of town for another week-long recess. yes, earlier today, the house swiftly passed the reducing flight delays act of 2013, 361-41. the same bill that literally flew through the senate last night. it allows the faa to move money between accounts so it can stop the furlough of air traffic controlle controllers. great. nobody likes flight delays. least of all people who travel frequently say members of congress, michele bachmann, for one, is absolutely thrilled. >> it's high time the faa, mr.
