speaking at a press conference in amman the u.s. state secretary john kerry said and i quote if syrian president bashar al assad was not prepared to discuss a political solution to end syria's civil war the united states and others would consider increasing support for his opponents and of quote that along with increasing initiatives across the atlantic to arm the syrian rebels something again reiterated by the u.s. senate commission on tuesday is creating a feeling of uncertainty whether a peaceful solution to the syrian conflict would be found any time soon the latest statement by john kerry seems questionable especially after the meeting in moscow less than two weeks ago when john kerry and russian foreign minister sergey lavrov and the russian president vladimir putin agreed to hold an international conference by the end of this month to have both the syrian government and the syrian opposition at the same negotiation table and back then told john kerry that he saw clear signs coming from the syrian government that they were wil

inviting the friends of syria the so-called friends of syria group to amman and it's not clear where the syrian government is going to play so i think this is a good moment to try and find a solution i'm very nervous about it makes three missed sunni. you know. by this are you surprised by any of this giving these people arms some support and money i mean come on i mean you have realized exactly about this for a year and now it's finally happened wow big surprise well for first of all first of all i think giving arms to people who are of the same pursue ation of the forces that killed american ambassador in libya is the forces that the west supported in libya and without having to listen to any of them are you know really . there's interventions don't work there for bitter what i said in the beginning it's a tragic situation because from my point of view there are no good people there are no good forces to support and if there were good people and good forces the moderate forces in syria with miss that train the obama administration did not go in forcefully and supported the anti-aci

facility close to the capital damascus but shomari middle east expert from the philadelphia university in amman it believes the confrontation could spill over into a full scale regional war. i think that there is a some kind of. some kind of correlation between the. fundamentalist. and the western eto against the syrian regime and i think that what's happening is exactly in support of this and in support of the terrorists that are fighting against the syrian regime i think doesn't state is getting into a situation where they want war. at all prices with big guns less of what's happening if it will be. war or anything else but if by that declination of the syrian that this is announcing before and if syria have retaliated in any way i think. vision that war is imminent and in the wake of the israeli aggression against syria has been taking a wider look at the region to find out whether it was aimed at undermining the remaining supporters of the assad regime. these strikes at a dangerous new dynamic to a region already in crisis with so many sides involved the situation is complicated well let's

indeed during the press conference in amman the u.s. state secretary john kerry said and i quote that if syrian president bashar al assad was not prepared to discuss a political solution to end syria's civil war the united states and others would consider increasing support for his opponents and of course that along with increasing initiatives across the atlantic something regenerated on tuesday to arm the syrian rebels that is something discussed in the u.s. senate right now is creating a certain feeling of uncertainty over whether the peaceful solution to the syrian conflict may be found anytime soon especially the latest syrian the latest statement from john kerry on syria seems questionable enough after meeting in moscow less than two weeks ago during which the u.s. state secretary and his russian colleagues have managed to agree on a peaceful conference to be held by the end of this month and back then john kerry heard from russian foreign minister sergey lavrov that there were clear signs that the syrian government was ready to ta

jacob amman, the founder of the amish, tries to find a ground that is not radical, that is not so disruptive, but keeps that wall there. and we look to that period of time, where we're talking about the avoidance- you've heard of the shunning, or avoidance, the ban- that becomes part of it. if somebody has fallen away into sin, not to punish them so much, but to restore them, to bring them back into the fold. so we see that today in the amish realm. holding on to the dress, the hooks and whatever you call those things- yeah, hooks and eyes; yeah, that's it. those kinds of things are all part of the amish attempt- you know, not to freeze a culture. i know i mentioned that in there, but even since then, i've done more research and seen it's not so much to freeze a culture in, you know, 17th century swiss elements, but more, "where are we going to draw the line?" and in this case, the key idea is nonconformity with the world, and that's where we get the peace element- we're not going to go in the army; that's where we get the element of separating and not being hooked up to the electric company

his first stop will be amman. he'll meet with key allies in jordan on wednesday to discuss ways to end the crisis in syria. kerlry will spend wednesday and thursday in the east bank trying to restart peak talks between the two governments and go to ethiopia before returning to the u.s. next monday. >>> and claiming a spy, he's out of the country. russian television stations are reporting that ryan fogel was on a plane that left moscow yesterday. we don't know where fogel was heading. the u.s. embassy will not comment on the case. russia says it caught fogel trying to recruit one of its intelligence officers to spy for the cia. it ordered him to leave the country last week. >>> today we will hear from convicted killer jodi arias in the penalty phase of her trial. a phoenix jury convicted arias earlier this month of first-degree murder. she admits she killed her ex-boyfriend but claims it was self-defense. she could receive the death penalty. >>> police in colorado springs trying to figure who made a bomb and left i

issue seriously, secretary of state would go to cairo 22 times and to jerusalem 23 times and then to amman and riyadh and we understood that you have a plan in your head. you go and talk to these leaders. you keep embellishing it. you create a regional consensus around a particular idea then you try to move the region forward. it would have been possible for the estates to have had serious conversation with regional actors around economic reform in the region, around job creation, jen constitutional reform. >> i think we tend to forget that every time we talk about economic reform and imf loans, certainly these countries, especially egypt and especially jordan did very, very worried because those things come with conditions. you're going to have to a deal with reforms, in the subsidies. how can you end subsidies for bread or any other necessity? that was tried in the past and it triggered major riots in both countries. probably cause for concern. and indeed to the fact that they have elections coming up, they oppose these things, the party in power is or that there will be in power anymore

howard, there is always little girl involved here. 6 years old, thought to be amman a berry's daughter. what will her psychology be like? how is she sense of all this? >> it is very different for a 6-year-old. the 6-year-old engages in something we call associate logic they pair things together and think that one thing causes the other. we'll have to work with her at her level. she might associate nighttime with being a time when abuse happened. if that happens to be the case. so we would want to teach her for example that nighttime is a safe time. we have to override a bunch of negative associations that she might have formed. and inferred that one caused the other. >> and clint, when you look at a story like, this we cover it in part because it is just so horrific and extraordinary as ron allen was saying. most child abductions according to the justice department statistics are from family members. that's the majority of the 200,000 or so that we see. what can you tell us about this which i think for people seems even scarier, a stranger, a long term kidnapping as you said. something

actually going to amman in a couple of where there's a very good because you know what these people hate us just because we exist you know a they hate us because doing things like this and that's why they hate the canadians that's where the point where the warning. because we're detaining them they've been doing this for years i basically eighty releasing this every. year they have democracies they hit the rule of law who live here this is a good thing. i mean no notification was. in the mammalian space they are farm animals better than they treat their women come on let's go home oh no no no no no don't pity so is she one of the last. eleven they have to they will we have to do what i reckon i do in the middle of the why you want to it's argue with you oh you want us to change our policy you know you want to change our poet don't you guys are saying nine eleven changed everything we're no longer the america that we used to be we're now in the post nine eleven america we don't have civil liberties anymore we don't respect the rule of law anymore we torture people we keep people in prison

steve amman writes you got that, viewer?ident orchestrating a month-long campaign of deception to hide his criminal activities undertaken by his re-election committee. they sort of bring him on to go let's give gravitas to this watergate comparison. it is crap. thank you. but he says it is the wrong historical reference. the scandals quote-unquote confronting president obama are driven almost entirely from the political and media mindset that gave us whitewater. they're minor instances of bureaucratic incompetence that are seized upon by hysterical right wing media and politicians by their -- into a full-scale media narratives. this is what allows otherwise self-respecting journalists to flog stories owned by standards partisan boondoggles. travel gate begot file gate begot trooper gate begot lewinsky. watergate was a fox hunt. there was real crime. whitewater was a fishing trip. enduring lesson is fishing trips can serve as an effective means of opposition particularny in the absence of an agenda. have you heard any republi

half, the real concern is that what's happening in syria may ultimately destabilize the government in amman. that's, i think, led to this discussion of a possible buffer zone. there are other ways to approach this, though, creating a humanitarian corridor is something that can help address this. but first and foremost i think is the point that there is no talk of sending in american troops into syria and putting american troops, boots on the ground in syria. this is something that our allies in the region must step up and take the lead on. >> and "the wall street journal" reports -- reports that this plan, buffering the jordanian border, plans to seek direct minimized u.s. involvement. guest: and i think that's porn for several reasons. it's porn pause in this country there is a war weariness, an absolutely understandable war weariness that come into play, and it should. but beyond that, within the region, our allies there have a responsibility to play their part, to ensure that this reaches a resolution that is in their best interests as well. host: to georgia. jeff is watching us in ainsw

when i see where is the greatest gap between supply of capability and amman envoy says, to me it's extremely uncomfortable. what about capabilities in some cases, the technology in some cases. we don't have enough for capacity besides that we are all set. they would be essential for sizing and shaping alleman in this cute er about to kick off. the second set is spicy or. having bio enabled the tax, the chances going to increase as accelerate across the world. the chances of a nonstate terror using technologies is unfortunately rising demonically and we can talk about those things in the q&a. i think the department is close to being hollowed. last december there was a panel on the future of war. this is the one question i asked michelle. you can check out the video of the panel on her website. i said how is the department for this set of scenarios? she said nowhere near being prepared, which is very concerning to me. a little bit more and scenarios. these are interest number five on the list of u.s. interests. i look at the defense strategic items from last january 2012. in this encounter, at

the real concern is that what is happening in syria may ultimately destabilize the government in amman is what has led to the discussion of a possible buffer zone. there are other ways to approach this, though. creating a humanitarian corridor is something that could help address this. but first and foremost, i think a point that there is no talk of sending an american troops in to see her yet and putting american troops of boots the ground in syria. allies inmething our the region must step up and take the lead on. host: and "the wall street journal" be ported that this plan, buffering the border, to minimize direct u.s. involvement. guest: it is important for several reasons. obviously because in this country there is a war weariness. absolutely understandable war weariness that comes into play. and it should. ,eyond that, within the region our allies there have a responsibility to play their part to ensure that this reaches a resolution that is in their best interest as well. host: will go to georgia. independent caller. caller: you may have already addressed this as i was speaking

the overriding reasons the operator should have stayed on the line is because amman at that was freaked a talking to. we'll find out what happens, if any corrective action is taken. >> brian: straight ahead, for the first time, michelle knight's family arriving in ohio to see their daughter who has been missing for over a decade. we're live in cleveland with reaction from that woman's families. >> gretchen: after coming face-to-face with an endured, sherry shepherd took heat from her co-workers for saying, hey, i better get myself a gun. >> brian: whoopie said get a bat. >> gretchen: the co-host responds this hour before global opportunities were part of their investment sttegy... to the schools that gave them scholarships... before they planned for their parents' future needs and their son's future... they chose a partner to help manage theirealth -- one whose insights, solutions, and approach have been relied on for over 200 years. th's the value of trusted connections. that's u.s. trust. join us at projectluna.com red hot deal days are back. don't waste another minute. it's red hot d
