we have to remember there will be a day after if asad goes and we need to make sure the country does not implode into a further fall apart civil war. that's key. >> i want to read mitt romney was on fox today and said the world looks to america to lead. we have been sitting on the back burner hoping something would happen to make it attractive to the world. what's happening in syria is unacceptable. i think they will continue a posture of leading from behind. does that help at all the situation when you hear not just a presidential candidate certainly but anyone at this point in leadership describing the situation in those terms? >> clearly it is a time for restrained voices. look, at the end of the day the key to this whole issue isn't iran or russia or china. it is assad and 12% of the population fighting for their survival and wondering what will happen to them if they lose power. it is going to get played out inside syria in a very ugly manner. we should be supportive. we should not take unilateral action mill taerl or otherwise. >> thank you very much. thank you, joel, bobby, al

jim asade da, we appreciate your reporting. >>> we turn to politics here at home. mitt romney heading to cleveland, ohio, this afternoon just days after president obama launched his reelection bid in that state. the president's saturday rally part of an official campaign kickoff where he warned against a republican vision that, in his words, would, quote, turn back the clock. >> now we face a choice. for the last few years the republicans who run this congress have insisted that we go right back to the policies that created this mess. republicans in congress have found a nominee for president who's promised to rubber-stamp this agenda if he gets the chance. ohio, i tell you what, we cannot give him that chance. not now. not with so much at stake. bigger profits haven't led to better jobs. governor romney doesn't seem to get that. he doesn't seem to understand that maximizing profits by whatever means necessary, whether through layoffs or outsourcing or tax avoidance or union busting, might not always be good for the average american or for the american economy. i d

we have made very clear we think president asad's time has come and gone, and we hope very, very much through the dialog we've had with russia and with our other partners in new york, that we will continue to find ways to hasten that kind of change in transition so that the people in syria can live normal lives free from violence. >> i will add to that that we want violence ceased. we want political dialog of all the signs in syria to be engaging and successful because we do not believe that anybody in washington, europe, or in moscow can tell the syrians as to how they need to lead further and who is going to be the next president. it needs to be done by the syrians themselves for obvious reasons because they have to decide their own future and we need to be able to recognize it, all of us, so the difference was especially was how you approach owl of these issues, currently i think we have a little bit more of common ground because both the united states and russia supports the so-called annan plan for the immediate steps to be taken in syria and then we'll see how the dialog and pol

the other big deal is nobody know was would come if al asad and the regime fail.he u.s. is trying to engineer, make the russians happy by saying, all right, let's do a deal where we'll get rid of assad, but the regime stays in place because russia wants to keep syria as their friend. they have their own vested interest in the regime staying there, economic, arms, they have a naval base there, last bastion of influence in the middle east. >> we're going to see this violence continue. it's just -- >> tragically, yes. >> it's so sad. it is so sad. >> and kids have been killed all through this. >> what is the point, how bad does it have to get before you see more action from world leaders across the spectrum? >> the question is always going to be what sort of action? are we going to see nato planes? i can't see planes flying over syria, nato planes. nobody wants to go in that hard in that country. they've also got -- syria has got an army, too. they have an air force. >> we will see what develops there. thank you so much. >>> mitt romney testing his grit in texas tomo

that if we see either the asad regime or the cronies using the lebanese financial system as a way to escape the sanctions, weaken the sanctions, we will act. like wise, as iran is under increasing financial pressure, and has lost access to financial centers around the world, you know, we are concerned that the iranians will look to bay root, which is in the international financial that has been for some time as their jumping off point back into the international financial system. and so again, we have been very clear with the lebanese, that's something that we are tentative to and will respond to if we have the predication. >> 2012 hours if we were given the chance. i'm going to ask one more question and open it up to the audience. david, how do you think about and deal with the rise of the chinese economy, the chinese banking system we see in the newspaper today. the federal areserve announcing -- significant announcement, i think. how do you dale with the chinese in part when they are not as cooperative as we'd like them to be on some of the issues whether@it's north korea or iran

fighting between al asad's regime and rebels has decreased in some areas but in other parts it's out of control. he hopes to have 300 united nations ceasefire observers in the country by the end of this month. he says it may be the last chance to stabilize the country. >> i'm not telling you any secret when i tell you that there is the profound concern that the country could otherwise descend into full civil war and the implications of that are quite frighten iing. >> the u.n. says more than 9,000 syrians have been killed since the conflict started 14 months ago. in israel a possible step to peace. today israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu announced the surprise formation of a unity government and called off plans to hold parliamentary elections. the government includes an alliance with israel's rival party. the new government gives netanyahu more control but also contains more centrist leaders which may help restart peace talks with palestinians, so people are hopeful for that. >> those are your international headlines. >> thank you, janelle. >>> the war in afghanistan hits ho

something emerged out of syria that could hurt the asad government worse than public demonstrations.about is the business as usual illusion, syria's violent deadly uprising is not a national emergency. that illusion is being shattered. small business owners and merchants, they are now closing down their shop. i want to bringing in michael holmes from cnn international to talk about it. we're looking at a different front of this war, the economic front. now you have local business folks saying, look, we're shutting down our offices. we're shutting down our businesses here in protest of the government. how would that impact assad in at all? >> if it goes on, it could be very significant because this merchant class, this middle class if you like, they are a significant part of his support base, a lot goes back years from his fathers. she's are s it is the economic hub of the nation. it is the end of the old silk road back in historic times. >> look at the pictures. it is extraordinary. when you talk about economic hub. >> shuttered doors. >> and what i find more extraordinary is you hav

focus remains on -- with the international community applying diplomatic and economic pressure on the asad regime. they continue to perpetrate violence against their own people and that is deplorable. as the secretary said, the goal is to continue that effort. in terms of planning -- something this building does all the time. >> all right, we're doing some go backs here. all right. >> john, if i understand your timeline correctly, the flight test contribute to understanding the source of the oxygen problems. is it fair to conclude from that that the chances are the department will not find out what the real cause is of the oxygen problems before that time? >> i think they are working on this as hard as they can. and i think if they could find into next week, they would be delighted to do that. but what i was talking about was the flight testing for the backup system that is going to get installed. it was about the retrofit of the backup system. not the general problem-solving effort. >> right. >> yes. >> on south korea, regarding the possibility of nuclear -- adding more nuclear weapons to

i think that the death toll right now is approaching maybe 8000 and the asad regime has undertaken abrutal response against its own people. they are trying to express their own views. there will be a general disapproval of that come obviously. number one. number two. each of the members who will be present will support the plan. they are trying to pass a cease-fire. yes, the violence needs to be brought down. yes, there are about 240 monitors, -- see, the monitors have access, and trying to bring down the violence of the effort spent but also come up with getting a political discussion about a transition in syria. i think that will be the basic outline of discussion. >> [inaudible question] can you give me a broad definition of what sort of afghanistan you hope to leave behind in 2014, and separately, on iran, nicolas sarkozy has been considered to be one of the toughest choices for the western sanctions policy on iran. are you concerned at all that that will change in government as france has gone under a governmental change, will that change? >> i would be glad to take those questi

the question i think what if the annan plan does not ultimately succeed, if asad does not abide by it, does not cease firing and withdraw his forces, what then are the next steps and what kinds of consult ailingses will we have and are we having with other countries regarding possible next steps? clearly those consultations are with many countries, including russia. but i can't preview for you or speculate for you what might be included in next steps. we are continuing to work with a number of nations on this issue and continuing to china, spotlight on the aspalling ---appalling, depraved behavior of the assad regime. >> the polish prime minister said he's not completely satisfied with the white house explanation of the president's reference to pollish -- does the president have any plans to call the prime minister and offer an explanation? >> the president misspoke. he was referring to nazi death camps in german occupied poland. as we made clear we regret the misstatements and that simple misstatement should not at all detract from the clear intention to honor mr. karski and beyond t
