as the president has stated, assad must go. recent days are testing whether the assad regime will live up to all of its responsibilities to the syrian people and to the international community, restoring calm to the cities and towns across syria is just one test for assad in the days ahead. assad is responsible for fully abiding by the transition plan that has been outlined by the joint special envoy kofi annan. he also faces deep skepticism about his motives, a skepticism based on a long train of assad's deceitful actions to date including broken promises to his own people and to the international community. the united states is committed to holding the syrian regime to its obligations. we are leading an international effort to help stop the violence and support a peaceful political transition in syria. even as we speak, secretary of state clinton is meeting with our international partners in paris to determine what additional steps should be taken to make that happen. we know achieving that end is a tough task. from every ang

it comes on the heels of horrifying violence at the hands of the assad regime, yet even though assad has committed to the cease-fire, reports indicate that he continues to inflict violence on the syrian people. president assad's crack down has been ruthless including human rights violations, killings, use of force against noncombatant civilians including children and interference with the provision of medical aid and humanitarian assistance. to date the united nations estimates the death toll from the crisis at 9,000. while other estimates put the death toll as high as 12,000. just over a year ago in the midst of the arab spring the syrian people peacefully took to the streets calling for the opportunity to elect their leadership through a free and fair democratic process. this desire for freedom and justice from an oppressive regime embodies the essence of what is driving the opposition, and is one that we can relate to and should support. the president has stated that the violence in syria must end and that assad must go. but it remains completely unclear how the president will acc

second, we are further isolating the assad regime. we are encouraging other countries to join the united states, the european union, and the arab league imposing strong sanctions against it. the sanctions are putting assad under greater pressure than ever before. we are undermining the financial lifelines of the regime. three united states executive orders have targeted senior leadership, commercial and central bank of syria. the result is that 30% of the regime's lost revenues have occurred as a result of those sanctions. the u.s. and the eu have imposed a strong oil embargo. the exchange rate has depreciated by more than 50%, and their gdp has been in a serious decline, approaching almost - 8% in 2011, and more now. third, we are strengthening and unifying the non-violent political opposition in syria. the united states is in the process of providing direct, non-lethal support, including communications and medical equipment to the civilian led opposition. we are taking these actions in concert with similar steps taken by the friends

real democratic reform should have been the assad regime's response to last year's peaceful protesting. instead, the regime responded with brutality. syria's internal convulsions are having consequences for a region already in turmoil. refugees are fleeing, spillover into neighboring countries is an increasing concern. and, of course, we also need to be alert to opportune niistic extremists who may seek to exploit the situation. as well as the need to be especially alert to the fate of syria's chemical and biological weapons, they need to stay exactly where they are. with other conscientious nations the united states it applying diplomatic and economic pressure on the regime to compel assad and his accomplices to stop the killing on their own. our military's role to this point has been limited to sharing information with our partners, our regional partners but should we be called on to help secure u.s. interests in other ways we will be ready. we maintain an agile regional and global posture. we have solid military relationships with every country on syria's border. should we be called

assad was the days are numbered -- that mr. assad's days are numbered. what is the path for that happening? as i said in my opening remarks, the assad regime has sort of decided they don't care what the international community thinks, they will kill as many people as they need to kill to stay in power. they are getting some sort of tacit support from important nations like russia and china, and much more direct support from iran. that makes it clearly different than gaddafi in libya. he had no friends anywhere. he could not get that assistance. with that support, the leverage we need to pull to make sure that the assad regime goes, or my that support not be enough to let them stay? thing that concerns you have indicated are the concerns we all share. part of the problem here is that assad still seems to maintain the loyalty of the military, even though there have been significant defections, the military still seems loyal and they continue to strike back at the libyan people, even as this effort to try to achieve a cease-fire and try to reduce violence t

assad will continue to play out. it'll be a matter of time. >> the department of defense has our plans involved over the last year since we have lasting the syrian revolution. >> what we do and what general dempsey does with the chiefs is to develop all of the planes necessary for any contingency. whatever the president decides we will be prepared to implement. >> we are in nato partner with turkey. we have a strong relationship with jordan. we are to-300 military urge the 200-300 military strong. iraq has a piece of this on their western border. we have been meeting with leaders throughout the region. we met with the president from various regions. they had a huge interest. there are huge populations. these issues are often intertwined. we're in the business of sharing information and building capacity where we can. we're having the threat of military capability. >> these are comments that have been made from my colleagues as it related to what happened in libya and the concerns with how we perceive them -- proceede

what kind of pressures would best be placed on assad in order to force that regime downward? you know, all of those same difficult, complex issues that the whole international community is dealing with, the arab community is confronting as well. in libya, that all came together. in syria, it's still a difficult challenge to try to put those pieces together. >> do you suppose -- and this is a hypothesis -- that the cohering factor in the libyan situation was the sense that gadhafi had completely lost the support of his own people and no one wanted to be associated with a regime that was illegitimate in that sense? do you think that assad has simply not reached that point with his own people yet, or is there some other factor that is diverting us from that consensus? >> i think it's the factors that i pointed out in my testimony make this different from libya. the fact that, number one, he does still enjoy, as i said, the loyalty of a good chunk of the army and the military. and that makes it more challenging in terms of, you know, trying to undermine the regime. secondly, the

they may assume that the democratic transition is one in which assad may survive. i think the rest of the world knows otherwise. >> a strong condemnation from the united nations this weekend about the rocket launch. have you come to the conclusion that the carrot of food aid is not working with north korea and it is time to use a bigger stick? >> first of all, food aid was not a karen. -- not a carrot. there will be additional sanctions that we agreed to today in the context of the security council interactions'. they also received a very tough warning that should they pursue another launch or a nuclear test that the security council is determined to take further action accordingly. >> are you concerned -- this is the pattern, right? of failure on north korea's part, and they have some kind of test. >> that has been the pattern in the past. the message from the security council was with an unanimous and forceful, that it would be extremely unwise for them to pursue that pattern again, because we are ready and we are agreed on the necessity of additional tough measu

clearly on the regime and assad. he intends to get an advance team to try to start the ball rolling on a far bigger monitoring mission to enforce the cease-fire. this is all designed to push the regime, and the opposition, for the position where they accept fully that the cease-fire is their obligation. kofi annan has been saying that president assad and his regime are committed to a ceasefire by april 10, this weekend. another 48 hours for the opposition rebels to meet their obligations to stop violence, as well. this is all about trying to maintain the momentum and the pressure so that neither side, and especially the regime, cannot slide away from commitments as they have in the past. >> they have so in the past. we had the arab league monitors going into syria. general consensus was of the authorities kind of ran rings around them by being selective about what they saw. do you think it will be harder for the authorities to do that with the u.n. mission? >> it will be a lot harder. a lot has changed diplomatic sin

assad in power but even though the u.s. accept it will be in its plan or we could refuse all sides of the conflict not just the syrian government washington who seems to could you know all responsibility in the hands of president assad and never mention the opposition which also has to lay down their arms. and chicken or porting live from d.c. thank you now turkey has hinted it may ask for nato help or to attempt to protect its borders after gunfire from syrian skirmishes reached its territory a few days ago to discuss the international reaction to syria with me now is patrick hayes a reporter for the online magazine spiked has written extensively on the middle east patrick thanks for joining us today now turkey's hands about nato involvement in the region comes just to syria is seeing this breakthrough in the form of a truce what do you make of the timing of the statement. well it's very interesting isn't it because you know what you have today is the first cease fire in in syria for the first time in a year and the rhetor

that bashar al assad is getting more people. that we know that bashar al assad is ignoring his promises. that bashar al assad is simply continuing with strikes against humanity. is that what we need to know? we know it. so i think time is over now. we need to protect the observ s observers. what we need now is to act. and we know what it means. safe zones, humanitarian corridors and support for the syrian opposition. and if we can do it with the security council, let's do it with the security council. because of the position of russia and china. we do it without the security council. but the community has an obligation. and finally the last question, can you give some information on the last incident with the german ship that is trying to deliver arms to syria. and that is directly breaching the arms embargo. this is more important than always putting your hammer down when we are talking serious problems as a crisis in syria. thank you. >> if i may, i believe that for those in regulations are to be abided by, it's up to you how

bashar assad continues against his people. what should the u.s.yrian mess become a factor in our 2012 elections? here to discuss it co author of "bending history" bar barack obama's foreign policy." >> good to be with you. >> is the prospect of a cease fire in syria dead at this point? has assad shown himself to be so duplicitous nothing good is going to happen in that environment any time in the near future? >> i think we know assad is not going to do a deal to try to somehow put his country back on a positive track to show a benevolence or forgiveness. we can rule those possibilities out entirely. the question is: is there a way that he can sort of have his cake and eat it, too? he wants to suppress the insurgency. maybe give it some small symbolic role in a future government where he is still president and use all of that to lighten up and lessen the international pressure and sanctions on him. if he can pull off that perfect hat trick, he may do it. but right now i think he believes the insurgency as opposed to international condemnation is hi

it's clear that assad has long lost any moral authority to rule as syrian president. according to the u.n., his attacks have left 9,000 civilians killed or wounded. the syrian government must be held fully accountable for all its actions and if found to be in violation of its obligations be subject to swift and first sanctions from the entire international community. thank you. >> thank you very much. >> thank you, president. syria is another country in the arab world where the conflicts between the various parties are inflamed. and the struggles have called for thousands of victims, mostly civilians. the security council has tried to stop the violence and in part was successful to convince the parties to adopt his six-point plan. under the u.n. which could lead to peace. now members of observation missions can go to various parts of the country to observe whether the truce is being held to the temporary peace we know. >> thank you, president. media reports make it clear that syria has 2,300 missiles. some are charged with poisonous gases which could reach europe. it

the assad regime is being supported by iran and to a certain degree by iraq.and the opposition is supported more and more by the saudis. is in the iran-saudi conflict that is emerging. if it breaks out, we will have more and syria and spill over into iraq, lebanon, and jordan. >> what happens at the cease- fire does not go into effect? >> there have been some politicians demanding more sanctions against the syrian regime, but i do not think the russians will agree. even if they do, syria has more supporters than russia and china. it has the army support, and that is decisive in a civil war. >> thank you very much. >> in the u.s., fla.'s neighborhood watch it volunteer george zimmerman has been charged with second-degree murder for the killing up and on arms black teenager -- for an unarmed black teenager. >> the case has sparked a fierce debate in the country, with demonstrations calling for george zimmerman's burress. >> george zimmerman and it himself into police on wednesday. he faces magistrates later on thursday. he told police after the shooting on febru

it's assad that wins and iran wins. and if we can help bring down assad, it's a tremendous strategic victory for us against iran. but i want to come back -- >> before you go on, could i just add one point to that? there would be no american boots on the ground and this would be a multi-national effort. go ahead, joe. i'm sorry. >> it's okay. i just want to focus on one thing. in my opinion -- and this is exactly the answer we got from the syrian national council, the political leadership, and the free syrian army leadership. they want weapons and ammunitions. they don't want us there. they just want us to give them the opportunity to defend themselves and their families. >> one thing people in syria have said to me over and over again when i talk to them on the phone is they are no longer afraid. we've heard that throughout many of these so-called arab uprisings is there is no going back. >> these are wonderful and brave people who share our values, our rights, and frankly they do look to the united states of america. i

continuing to indicate that assad must step down. as a result of what the u.n. is doing now in implementing a cease fire where you now have the support of russia and china. there's a whole series of efforts here that i think are putting incredible pressure on the assad regime to do the right thing. this may continue to play out assad will continue probably to resist these efforts, but i think it's a matter of time before he's brought down. >> i have nothing to add, congresswoman. >> okay. i guess playing off of that, the department of defense's assumptions around this, how have our plans evolved specifically over the last year since we've seen the syrian revolution commence? >> what we do and what general dempsey does with the service chiefs is to -- is to develop all of the plans necessary for any contingency and whatever the president ultimately decides will be prepared to implement. >> and just to kind of give you the view of the region at large. we're a nato partner with turkey. we have a very strong relationship with jeernd obviously israel. we are still 20

their behavior to protect the assad regime has been reprehensible. and i think, frankly, they have heard that message from the entire international community, not just the united states and our western partners. the entire arab world and the majority of members of the united nations. soon after the second double veto the general assembly took up more or less the same resolution that was blocked in the security council. it was adopted by an overwhelming majority, over 130 countries voted in favor. a very small handful, i think about eight countries, voted no. and they include russia and china and venezuela and zimbabwe and north korea and iran and syria. it was company that one would -- it's very unique company that russia and china typically don't like to find themselves in. that has been followed by continued strong action out of the human rights council and repeated international unity with the glaring exception of russia and china on issues related to syria. i think the combination of that kind of isolation has given them, particularly the chinese

"president assad's army is slaughtering us," he says. she has no faith the un montiors wi -- the u.n. monitors will make a difference. come too far7 have to turn back now -- the people say they have come too far to turn back now. >> for more on the situation inside syria and the international community's response, i am joined by the u.s. ambassador to the united nations, susan rice. can we call this a cease-fire at the moment? have'm sorry, we seem to lost that line to new york. we will try to get back to ambassador rice as soon as we can. the right-wing extremists accused of carrying out norway's worst mass murder cried as he went -- the right-wing extremist accused of carrying out norway's worst mass murder in history cried as he went on trial, but he showed no remorse, saying that he acted in self-defense. survivors and families of the victims were in court as the prosecution showed how breivik planned and carried out the disaster. >> he was led in, hands cuffed. he seems relaxed, eager. always wanted this -- the chance to prevent his

let's not forget this peace plan is political suicide for assad. we now expected increase in the demands by the international community. what we must really see is an "or else" scenario. why would assad abide right now when there's no threat being made? there simply urging him to abide. now we see the international community having to come forward with some kind of a threat to oppose his actions. >> kofi annan, the peace envoy, is due to go to iran on tuesday to see if they can exert any influence on all of this. do you think the opposition in syria have any faith in the kofi annan plan? >> it's the lack of faith by the syrian regime to actually abide by it. he made this same promise to the arab league and he failed. now he has made the promise to kofi annan and yet again, he has failed. >> thank you very much for joining us. a member of the opposition there. now to some of the other stories making headlines around the world. a team of american experts is helping pakistan as it continues to search for survivors of an avalanche in the himalayas. mor

show the implication is assad is a russian agent whose anti-american mission is now out in the open for all to see and the accusations kept flying as the whistleblowers very own show premiered on tuesday i don't see saw it coming there's two of us. getting into. the kremlin. interview with. terrible radicals for. i think that's a sort of it's a pretty trivial current topic. look at how the service where. we have complete control over the guest over his first show was the head of hezbollah designated by the us as a terrorist organization it was not starlost first interview with international channel in six years the reason why him could be found in the interview itself the united states is looking. into us. and we want to be able to tell people that he's one of us here and terrorism terrorism. is nations. but the one that people listen to us have from ohio for example if there was a just tried. very hard to defend them should have an opportunity to defend themselves some say in the court of public opinion as presented by the us mainstream media there is a tendency to simplify issues it's

what can we do to try to prevent that dynamic from occurring in syria in a post-assad regime? and i correct that to either of you. >> you know, things you pointed out are truly legitimate concerns. and, you know, i guess -- i guess the response is that, you know, if we can build a democratic institution into these countries, and to have extent we even see it. we see it in iraq. you know, we're beginning to see it in egypt. we certainly see it in libya, which is once you build some of these institutions where parties have to participate in governing, and they have to look at how they can build coalitions and try to meet their responsibilities to the people that, you know, whether they like it or not, it does have some kind of moderating impact. even in egypt where you know, i understand your concerns. the fact is that the brotherh d brotherhood, there are various segments of the brotherhood. some are now trying to understand that they're going to have a bigger responsibility there. they're going to have to exercise, you know, leadership with regards to every aspect of governing

and particularly as it would relate to trying to broker any kind of an agreement with the assad regime short of eliminating it. >> as i've indicated, there are a number of groups that are involved in the opposition. it has not always been easy to get those groups to be able to coalesce. there are some outside syrian groups that are making an effort to do that. there has been better progress by other countries that have tried to one way or another provide assistance to try to urge those groups to coalesce and there's been a little more progress in that front. but it's still a difficult challenge. is that fair? >> what i would add, congresswoman, it threads back to an earlier question about why does it seem to difficult to get the countries in the region to coalesce around a single unifying idea here. it's because i think they're extraordinarily cautious about what comes next and to thread these two themes together, you know, a different regime or a different governance model in syria will affect the relationship of ankara, damascus, cairo, riyadh, teheran, baghdad. it will. that's not t

. -- assad period. so far, i think those guaranteeschristians and others are just genuinely terrified and unless they believe they can be protected in a post-assad situation, it is unlikely there will take the risk of abandoning the regime. host: what are you writing about here? guest: in terms of the book? host: mm-hmm. guest: it is an attempt to take everything that happened and step back to look at the entire region in perspective to explain where it came from and where it is going. i would say that two things i was really trying to do is say that it did not come out of nowhere. we have seen signs of this developing for one decade. growing social unrest, protest movements, and in a place like egypt, it is not like on january 24 at all of a sudden billions of people were protesting whereas before it had been silent. it was not like east germany or something like that in 1989. there had been ongoing protests for a long time and suddenly they broke through. secondly, to show how tightly, interconnected

>> we think assad must go. the killing must stop. the sooner we get into a process that ends up there the better. >> reporter: yesterday saudi arabia and a group of gulf states announced $100 million plan to pay the salaries of rebel rebel fighters inside syria. >> we were recently inside syria and the rebels tell us that they have no ammunition left. they have no money left. and that their only recourse for self-defense self-defense is to bipld i.e.d.s or bombs. >> you w >> you were there. yo you know how hard it is. we think we have some assets that will get in there which we will try to do that will enable them to have better communication. >> do you see any signs that bashar al assad is starting to l,ack? >> well, today we heard from a deputy oil minister who defected. we do see those kinds of cracks. we think none of the defections from the military are in the thousands. we know there are perhaps two dozen. >> reporter: but there haven't been more defections there the way we saw in libya from assad's inner

the opposition will not accept any solution that keeps president bashar al-assad in power. after tens of thousands were driven into exile and thousands died, the bitterness and mistrust is immense. it is telling, perhaps, i did not meet any refugees who believed they would be going home soon. bbc news, on the turkish-syrian border. >> for more on the tension inside syria and diplomatic efforts to broker peace, i was joined by british foreign secretary william hague, in washington for a meeting of bgh. -- of the g-8. you have met with the foreign ministers. do you have a sense of how the cease-fire is being implemented? >> it is tough to say. there is a skeptical eye. in the last year, when the syrian government has said they are cooperating, they have gone on to break their word. that are not fully implementing the ceasefire. the have not withdrawn their forces from populated areas in taken heavy artillery back to barracks. it is a welcome announcement, but we need to get a monitoring mission in there as fast as possible. >> you met with the russian foreign minister. do you

there is a scenario where at the end of this those that are a raid around assad become the oppressed and as the secretary described we end up in a situation that's a prolonged civil war. so yes, i think there is reason to believe that the military could come to understand that they're on a path through their own destruction as an institution, but i think that case has to be made by regional players, less so by us. >> thank you, gentlemen. thank you, mr. chairman. >> thank you, mr. forbes. mr. turner. >> thank you, mr. chairman. mr. secretary, general dempsey, i want to thank you this week for your strong statements on the issues of addressing sexual assault in the military. i think your leadership is well needed, and i appreciate your strong statements and your strong action. we had a meeting yesterday with general amos. we understand that, general dempsey, he is echoing your strong commitment. we appreciate the efforts of both of you. it makes a big difference for our men and women who are serving. general, you just said that the world is becoming increasingly unstable, and mr. secr

security council steps against the assad regime. she suggests moving quickly to a chapter 6 resolution including travel and financial sanctions as well as the arms embargo. more on this story coming up in just a moment. meanwhile on capitol hill republicans in the house of representatives ignoring a white house veto threat on mostly party line votes. the house approving a $46 billion tax cut for most employers, the measure though success viewed as dead on arrival in the u.s. senate. republicans say it would give companies more money to hire workers, democrats say that many of the benefits would go the wealthy and they point out that companies would not actually have to hire workers in order to qualify for the tax breaks. presidential politics, the president is in a series of fundraisers here in washington, d.c. mitt romney is in ohio. we mention that because yesterday the president was in elyria, ohio, today it was lorain, ohio for mitt romney where he visit ad factory that actually closed in 2008 when president george w. bush was i

because it leaves assad in power. it calls for dialogue. the opposition said they don't want any of it. they want to overturn this regime. they don't want to talk with it. and the foreign community, led by the united states, has been promising the opposition that it will beef up its support for it in order to bring down the regime. so there are messages going... messages at cross-purposes going on here. but to a certain extent this is positive news for the syrian opposition. the foreign community has put them on training wheels, if you will. the foreign... the opposition has been very faxalized. the free syrian army just a few weeks ago called the syrian national council a bunch of traitors. there have been defections from the national council. i think clinton and all are very worried that they're going to invest a lot of money in people they're not sure are going to be winners. they're giving support. but they aren't guaranteeing a lot yet. they're going to... in a sense they're saying come back in a few months and show us that you've got

security council on the crisis in syria keeping its president bashar al assad in power u.s. ambassador to the united nations susan rice went even further saying russia and china have quote blood on their hands for refusing to go along with an intervention in syria their policy makers here who are very pro intervention and they tend to blame russia for all that's happening in syria at least in their public statements in the meantime moscow's pushing for a political solution with a dialogue between the opposition and the government whereas the u.s. and the u.k. for example and the arab league tends to prompt the syrian opposition not to hold any talks with president assad and to continue fighting the sensually even as if they say they are also for a political solution the opposite so we're trying to influence the syrian opposition we hold meetings with the opposition inside the country any action on the opposition but it's also absolutely clear that some of our international partners tell them different things and prevent the opposition from making any concessions well and use

if assad flagrantly moves the april 10 deadline, will this change? >> that is the deadline that the russians themselves endorse. it does put them in a difficult position. is very difficult to shame moscow into doing anything. that is true. once they seem more people turning against assad and the international community united against them, the harder it is for russia to stand and fight, especially if assad violates an agreement russia itself demanded. be real trouble is beijing. -- the real trouble is beijing. >> ok. thank you. from syria to egypt now where more than a year after helping -- after a pause in the mark was removed from power, the bid to -- after hosni mubarak was removed from power, the bid to succeed him is still ongoing. >> the light applause for the muslim brotherhood's official presidential candidate. at the news conference, the millionaire businessman wanted to set out political business, but inevitably questions and return them back to the last- minute entry of the former intelligence chief in the presidential contest. he warns th

turning against assad, harder it is for russia to stand by assad. china's interests are not the same as russia's. >> thank you for coming in. from syria to egypt, where more than one year after hosni mubarak was removed from power, the bid to succeed him is still creating tension. muslim brotherhood has warned of renewed turmoil in the country if the country's former spy chief manages to win the top post. >> light applause -- polie applause for the muslim brotherhood's official -- polite applause for the muslim brotherhood's official presidential candidate. inevitably, journalists question a last-minute entry of the former intelligence chief. this could bring egyptians back out on the streets. >> we strongly reject the attempt to have the former regime represented in the person of suileiman -- suleiman. it is an insult to the egyptian people. >> yet mr. suleiman has supporters. the crowd turned out to greet him as he handed in his registration papers. this long-time associate of the ousted president, hosni mubarak, has promised to restore security a

they'll jump ship for assad eventually. >> so once they know their guy is done -- >> exactly. >> so assad. >>> coming up next -- >> the beginning of your program, your earth is spinning the wrong direction. i'm sorry. i had to get that off my chest. >> astrophysicist and expert, n this.
