[ female announcer ] abilify is not for everyone. call your doctor if y

he's joining us live from amman, jordan. the u.n. is working nonstop, but there's not enough money to go around, as we heard in that report. >> that's correct. we face enormous challenging in the region. many parties want to be prepared to help the warring factions inside syria, but we're not seeing the same eagerness to address the address massive humanitarian needs. we have 2 million people, refugees outside of syria. we have many millions of people inside syria experiencing the brunt of the war firsthand. there has to be much more done to help these people, and now we have to winterize the refugee camps for their third winter and then build facilities that may endure for years to come. >> peter, when you say winterize the refugee camps, what exactly does that entail? i guess, is that what you're going to ask the ministers from jord t jordan and lebanon and turkey you're meeting with tomorrow, is that what you're going to ask for resources for? >> reporter: well, the geneva talks are about several issues. we want to thank the gover

in amman, you don't notice it so much.ut you go to small border towns in jordan, and you can hear that syrian dialect. that's how you really tell. and they're the ones who are on the streets selling whatever they can think of, you know, to make just a little bit of money so that they can survive in this urban environment, which is new even for the humanitarian aid agencies to deal with urban refugees. they're not in tents, they're not in camps, you can't line them up, you have to go and find them and you have to go and help them. >> how is amman adjusting or responding? >> jordan relations with syria are tense, to say the least. and so, king abdullah, the king of jordan, has to really walk a fine line. he's an american ally. but he has said he will not let his territory be used for any strikes on syria. he welcomes refugees, but at the same time, he runs a covert weapons and training program for rebels that we have a large hand in. his role is enormously complex and dangerous. he's under pressure because the refugees have

translator: this is where jordan's second refugee camp for syrian is being built east of the capital of amman near the border with saudi arabia. construction began in april when the government realized syrian refugees were going to keep coming. jordan always has the largest refugee camp for syrians in the reson and the second largest in the world. this new facility is going to be even bigger. eventually it will be able to house 130,000 people. >> any influx that comes in right now immediately we have room in the camp, which can straightaway absorb 20,000 up front. we can go up to 20,000-plus as it is to be absorbed on eye contingency basis. >> this area is a vast desert of volcanic rock with a severe climate. they're trying to do things differently from lessons learned. >> we have smaller units to serve more people and there is more ownership and less vandalism. we have already units for about 16,000 people, but at the emergency rate they can be available for 50,000 people as of today. >> reporter: aid agencies hope to get this camp up and running with $60 million worth of funding. huge water

cnn's senior national correspondent nic robertson now in amman, jordan. nic, how significant is this development? >> it is significant. saudi diplomats say the statement is choreographed over the last ten days. jordan, the united arab emirates, bahrain all helping to try to get as strong a statement as possible from the arab league. the saudis believe they have 70% to 80% of support in the arab world. they have been pushing as hard as they can for intervention inside syria. they've been realizing that intervention without a political capability and will. the united states and european countries, not quite capable of doing that right now. they have been pushing hard so the fact that the saudis are weighing in, strongly as they are, this is the arab nation that's going to carry most weight in the region to carry the issue forward, don. >> so nic, what would arab support of intervention mean? weapons, troops, access to military bases in what does it mean? >> reporter: well, right now the saudis, qataris supplies weapons to the rebels, the saudis here through

foreign ministry strike on syria the governments in if a damascus could retaliate, that is because amman is a u.s. ally, hardware on the ground and a neighbor of syria. and there are plenty of indications that the syrian government owns chemical weapons. >> if the syrian government strikes back with chemical weapons what do we do? just denies a strike will happen. >> but also hosts thousands of syrian refugees. unlike most beyondians here supports a fortune military strike that would cripple the assad regime. >> the strike would help us a lot and relieve us in the long term if it targets military bases, we saw it with our own eyes. >> the government has said it will distribute gas masks if and when that's needed but the images of residents in neighboring israel queuing for gas masks have made jordannians feel they are lest valuable. with the u.s. deploying its own patriot missile batteries, f-16 fighter jets and months ago, it is heart to believe jordan will not be involved even logistically, al jazeera el ramsa. >> back in this country, secretary of state john kerry had difficulty picki

amman javers, what angle is this? >> call it virtual geopolitics striking the degree to which twitter and other social media are playing a role in the run up to this potential military strike on syria. take a listen to secretary of state john kerry in london talking about the impact that twitter and other social media have had on the u.s. decision that these strikes are needed. >> we know that within moments of them landing in that territory, the social media exploded with videos that we also know could not be contrived. and we've done various means of ascertaining that. >> and that's the question here, whether those videos could have been contrived or not, anything you can believe or much of what you can believe on twitter is actually true. bashar al assad said in an interview with cbs news he doesn't believe some of the stuff he's seeing on social media and united states is relying on for its case for strikes. take a listen to the syrian president today. >> how can you talk about what happened if you don't have evid

foreign correspondent amman moig deen. >> this video continues to echo in term of the questions aboutport them, and has the situation already started to get out of control with the various factions. >> reporter: when you look at the often significance, you almost have to look at it in the context of where it was when it gab and where it is today. this began with syrians, inside syria. mostly unarmed, exercising civil demonstrations of disobedience. over the course of the past two years, that opposition grew to incorporate a different variety of rebels, including among them, the free syrian army which are mostly syrians who have defected from the military and police and volunteers. you have modern islamists who are mostly syrians but are on the slightly political leaning. and then you have jihadists. many ideologically associated or affiliated or inspired by al qaeda. many coming from foreign countries because they believe this is an ideological struggle inside syria. so that umbrella group of the rebels are the ones all fighting to try to topple the regime. you have the political orga

he too met with the delegation of visiting americans in amman. >> our policy when it comes to refugees remains the same. those who reach our borders are actually allowed in. in accordance to international law, international humanitarian any fluxuation with the numbers any flucuation with the numbers has to do with the situation inside syria. >> suarez: al momani said the large number of syrian refugees, in addition to palestinian and iraqi refugees who came in earlier waves, is straining his country. >> this country is a country with limited resources actually, and with this large number of refugees, it's really putting tremendous, tremendous amount of pressure on our infrastructure, on our economic situation, security forces. >> suarez: jordan's zaatari refugee camp, the worlds second largest with more than 120,000 syrians packed into a few square miles of desert, has become a poster child of sorts for the harsh conditions facing refugees who have fled syria. less known to the world, however, are the struggles facing syrians who live outside the camps in jordan. they make up 70% of sy

if it doesn't stop, these wonderful contraceptives that we have won't be used in atlanta and in amman, jordan, and in nairobi. they won't be used because men will stop women from making decisions about their own fertility. and they do it in a hundred different ways. in many parts of the world, educating women about their options is part of an effort to improve women's health and to control overpopulation. robert hatcher: there's no doubt that overpopulation affects the health of entire communities in terms of water, air, crowding. it affects individual families in terms of their economics. it affects theealth of women.es there's no doubt about unintended pregnancies, large families in many areas kill women so they're not able to raise their children. david bennett: i find it's less of a problem in terms of interference from religious organizations. it's often people who want to deny the fact that we are sexual human beings, and have sexual relations often without much forethought, sometimes with people that we only-- we know only casually, and sometimes with multiple partners. that's

let's bring in christiane amman four, also fareed zakaria joining us right now. christ christieian, what do you make of this latest development potentially designed to avert a u.s. military strike? >> to be fair, it hasn't come out of nowhere. this has been float inside great britain for over a week now. the idea that real deterrents in the face of having used chemical weapons, in the face of potential response would actually be to bring these weapons out and either have them destroyed or put them under international control. i asked that specific question to the syrian ambassador to the united nations on your program last week. and he said that is something we might be able to consider. so yes, it is getting a much more prominent play now, even the british prime minister has issued some comments, some statements that they would welcome such a move. and it comes at a time, wolf, when obviously, you can see the political writing on the wall right now. that is very difficult right now as it stands today if for president obama to win a vote in cog res or his people

beginning with a meeting in room and subsequently in instan bull and amman, jordan.ition one has to remember, as little as a year ago, there was no great clarity to the structure of that opposition or to who they were, and they certainly had had no experience in this kind of an endeavor. over the course of that yee, they have evolved, i would say significantly, are they where they need to be? not completely but they have changed markedly over the last couple of months. at our insistence, insistence of all supporters, the so-called london 11, they reached out and expanded significantly their base within syria. they elected new leadership and brought in a much broader base of syria representation, including women and minorities and christians and others. they've built up a much more competent leadership -- >> i've only got a few minutes. i'm very aware of those things. what i'm unaware of is why it is so slow and helping them with lethal support, why has that been so slow? >> i think, senator, we need to have that discussion tomorrow in classified session. we can talk

amman joins us with more. take it away. >> good morning, joe.y of state john kerry was on capitol hill yesterday returning to the committee that he used to be to chairman of to offer the administration's best case for a military strike on syria. the secretary of state however appeared to get in a little bit of rhetorical trouble when initially he seemed to open the door for the possibility of american troops in syria. take a listen to this. >> it would be preferable not to, not because there's any intention or plan or any desire ha sofr to have boots on the ground but in the event syria imploded i don't want to take off the table an option that might or might not be available to a president of the united states to secure our country. >> so kerry there appearing to leave on the table the opportunity for the president to send american troops into syria. he realized later that might be a political mistake especially because the administration is saying it does not intend to have boots on the ground and that will be one of the keys to whether or not
