i think israel inevitably it acknowledges that hezbollah will get involved but when hezbollah fight the is the eat is or fight the rebels that was a long story about it in the new yorker magazine detailing that many as pics of each side of the strategy but just let me make a final statement and i feel passionate about it that is a big mistake committed here chemical weapons would not be used in syria conflict because it would mean the suicide of the perpetrator each side in the sea the conflict wants to survive including the falling assad regime so this is a wrong thinking in washington chemical weapons are the last a factor to consider conversion conventional warfare are the dictates of the conflict please pay attention to it what are you on. in the mascot's war that you are in moscow or that you are in washington or any place else chemical weapons are the last resort. in london go ahead. and i kind of go back to the point of iran i think there is a phobia which the israelis and americans have regarding iran totally opposed to iran because i come from iraq which is occupied by iran

because at the present moment the contact between iran and hezbollah is through syria and that's the point that is going to be weakened however i think israel knows hezbollah can do and israel cannot afford to lose civilians and civilians will be lost that is there an intervention with if there is a conflict between hezbollah and iran that's. defending the iranians but i. i think there is a conception which is purposely done by putting iran into the picture but certainly i think at the present moment the moral position of the west to the syrian conflict because everybody talks about one thing to protect the people well to do you give them freedom and democracy and it's the same time they are pouring petrol on a fire ok we're ok people can got it right there are me dan go ahead jump in yes first of all we have the iran nuclear issue which is considered a threat not only by the united states and israel but the entire international community by the i.a.e.a. and the united nations security council and many many many other countries around the world that we cannot we cannot ignore that ju

now -- hezbollah. now a major general, he has been the mastermind behind key iranian foreign policy moves. he helped iran grow its influence in iraq and continues to support the murderous assad regime in syria. american and british intelligence officials draw comparisons between the real-life iranian general and the fictional soviet spymaster carlo declared in cold war novels. only sue laymanny is rule, and his war with the united states is real. finish hezbollah is using social media to spread its propaganda and get new terrorist recruits. as of august, hezbollah had tweeted an average of 250 tweets a day and had 18,000-plus follow orers. clearly, hezbollah understands the value of twitter. too bad twitter and our own government don't recognize it, too, and prohibit the advertising of hezbollah terrorism. hezbollah is also getting information via smartphones, bear ri and iphone users who download an app called what's that can get daily updates from hezbollah. it's one of the top overall apps, and the

ok again if i go back to you and watching a lot of people say israel is more interested in hezbollah for example or iran not really the syrian people not at all you know the well first of all again israel is shares and sympathizers with the agony the syrian people are going through that's first and foremost second of all of course when you look at the situation on the northern front there is a strangle iran syria and hezbollah not all sides of the triangle are equal in size and in power but of course when you look at the overall situation. is weakened by this recent crisis and israel is interested as always sir it's interested in seeing the syrian iranian alliance somehow being either diminished or even sort of a dissociation between syria and iran and as we look at the prospects of this syrian crisis unfolding then one of the options of course is there are different scenarios there but one sure scenario is that iran syria relations will diminish in their warmth in their in their in their intimacy and so that's a course as you look at the situation this is something that israel stand

hezbollah is a terrorist organization. period. [applause] we are urging every nation in the world that we deal with -- and we deal with them all -- to start treating hezbollah as such and naming them as terrorist organizations. [applause] this is not just about a threat to israel and the united states. this is about global terrorist organizations that have targets people on several continents. we will say and we will do our part to stop that, and we ask the world to do the same. that is why we have been talking to our friends in europe to forcefully declare hezbollah a terrorist organization. this past month, i have made the case to the leading european heads of state, as barak and israelis know, together, we have to continue to confront hezbollah wherever it sows the seeds of hatred and stands against the nations that sponsored campaigns of terror. ladies and gentle, the united states and israel have a shared interest in syria as well. assad has shown his father's disregard for human life and dignity, engaging in the brutal murde

there are hezbollah fighters on the ground. iranian arms flow through syria to hezbollah.iranian revolutionary guard members are on the ground in syria providing training and racing malicious in the are trampled. iranian regime is providing telecommunications equipment. the collapse of the assad regime would be a devastating blow to iran and its ability to support has below -- to support has below and other terrorist -- to support hezbollah and other terrorist groups. i will be sending a letter to the prime minister to immediately ground cargo planes attempting to access our iraqi airspace. for the sake of regional stability, we and our partners must cooperate with urgency to bring this conflict to an end. the obvious question remains, what more should or can we do? secretary kerry says providing direct humanitarian aid is a positive step. the syrian people need to know that they have this the support of the united states. the european allies led by france and great britain are considering ways to provide legal assistance to the opposition. the argument for arming the oppo

the weapons from hezbollah. also, from the governing party of syria. they do not sell the weapons to us because they like us. it is business. it is about money, and they are making a lot of it. >> the city in tripoli and northern lebanon. it mirrors the conflict across the border. most people here support one side or the other in the syrian conflict. the city's hospital treat lots of wounded serious, many of them fighters. in room 103, a rebel fighter is being treated for wounds he got in an ambush from hezbollah troops. he says he and his fellow rebels did not have enough weapons. four of them were killed, 11 wounded. he says he has no faith that diplomacy can end the conflict in syria. >> the only solution that is left is a military solution. if somebody kills my mother or my sister or my father right in front of me, then i have to avenge their deaths. >> meanwhile, business is booming for the small-time weapons dealer. there is yet another client on the telephone. demand is huge, and the syrian war means big

what is the truth about hezbollah and venezuela?h is that it has been true that has what has been there for many years. a small number of those operatives are able to hide in plain sight. we are very aware of this because we have seen connections and multiple cases. we found a few that came in through venezuela and there was a major bust in the philadelphia area where the operatives were buying and stealing police stations and cell phones and shipping them to venezuela and they were getting passports and returned. one of our concerns is that hezbollah is getting passports passwords that are easy to duplicate and they often come according to some reports, the government has been providing them to the group. jenna: that gives them more freedom to travel to places like america? >> yes, to travel anywhere. we are concerned as they are just to the south. this is an immediate concern to us. jenna: what you think of the death of hugo chÁvez? that limit their growth and operations? >> on the one hand, they were active in venezuela, hezbolla

. >> lebanon's government decided to step down after a standoff with hezbollah. the prime minister had been in office for over two years. hezbollah had helped put him in office, but they fell out over domestic issues. there were also tensions over neighboring syria. hezbollah strongly backs president bashar al-assad. >> on friday, cyprus was still trying to find a way out of its financial crisis. the finance minister had tried russia, traveling to moscow to drum up support for it he left without clinching -- support. he left without clinching a deal. time is running out. the european central bank said it would cut off emergency funding if a plan was not in place by monday. friday saw some signs of progress. pearlman passed bills to restructure the banks and place restrictions on transactions in times of crisis -- harlem and passed bills to restructure the banks and place restrictions on transactions in times of crisis. but at the end of the day, he has still not come up with the 5.8 billion euros that was being demanded. >> the countries that ask for solidarity m

and so hezbollah has been working on that psychological effort. iran is working on that psychological effort. and they're fanning the flames. really, the aloites have been the main fighting force and most loyal troops that assad has. and part of that is because they do passionately believe that if they lose, they get literally wiped out, that there will be retribution killings and it will be awful. that's why some are arguing, well, they're trying to build an enclave in the north. >> rose: right, right. >> so when assad goes they all go to the north and hunker down for a fight and moving weapon systems that would allow them to sustain that all of those things are concerning. that's why i think there's a diplomatic solution that could go in with the russians and let them understand we'll protect the aloites just as we will anyone else in the country, as long as we get no chaos in the process. now, you won't be able to stop it all, but in the perfect outcome, that diplomatic solution-- and again, in order to get there you have to have the credibilit

now hezbollah is entrenched in the lebanese government. lebanon since 2009 has been subordinated by the serious issue. and syria, we have come full circle, going from engagement with russia are assad, to pressure, even greater pressure on assad and we had in 2008. assad himself is probably regret in the support for al qaeda in iraq, which is coming back to bite him. when it comes to iran, i was reading an article recently in preparation for a different speech about the negotiations, the president saying, the last offer we made was meeting with was met with a relatively positive response from iranians. we were feeling optimistic, but we have to give them time and space of keeping our options on the table. that article was from 2006. that tells you little bit about how this issue has or has not changed. this is the issue that feels the most similar to where it stood in 2008. there are more sanctions. iran's nuclear program has expanded as well. elsewhere, we have had arab uprising. even in 2008, our concerns about president mubarak and his a

i mean, if there's no junior league of hezbollah, who puts out the cookbook of bomb recipes? [laughter] besides, the fact that these organizations don't exist only makes it more suspicious that chuck hagel has been tied to them. what else is he hiding that hasn't happened? is he a member of the al qaeda kidz club? [laughter] what about the muslim brotherhood? or the muslim sisterhood of the traveling pants? [cheers and applause] and what about non-islamic non-existent groups? has chuck hagel ever given a speech to cobra? or for that matter cobra kai? has he received donations from the lollipop guild? [laughter] what are his ties to the dead poet's society? and why are they dead? did they know too much about benghazi? [laughter] president obama, withdraw hagel's nomination, or you will lose the support of moderate republicans, another group that doesn't exist. [cheers and applause] folks, my favorite thing about sports is stadiums named after corporations. it's win-win. the teams get money, and the corporations get advertising that really works. i mean, going to coors field ma

multinationals to productize economy and of course to great with hezbollah to break with iran will be lunacy and madness for political president assad's forces to use chemical weapons and so if you know we've heard that chemical weapons has been used it has to be by the rebels and if that's the case then obviously that will highlight the hypocrisy of the u.s. and the west because they said let it be a red line that chemical weapons are used but only seems to apply if president assad's forces use them the syrian army and so we've got to be consistent on these chemical weapons to use them it's wrong and the rebels are using a should be indicted for war crimes to a small clock there let's discuss the latest events in syria with r.t. contributor afshin rattansi joining someone from london even to see him so first he's been elected head of the opposition coalition in syria as we've been mentioning how will the various rebel groups react to him do you think. even the free syrian army his own spokespeople are questioning the authority of this guy who won by three votes in there is stand all

. >> reporter: and strong comments about hezbollah also drew applause. >> president obama: every country who values justice who call hezbollah what it truly is, a terrorist organization. >> reporter: the main point of obama's speech came when he advocated two states for two peoples. >> president obama: given the demographics west of the jordan river, the only way for israel to endure and thrive as a jewish and democratic state is through the realization of an independent and viable palestine. >> reporter: but a number don't trust that solution. >> that's not the solution. if it were that way, it will be the prelude for a new area. >> president obama: israelis must recognize that continued settlement activity is counter-productive to the cause of peace. and that an independent palestine must be viable. >> reporter: obama called the palestinian authority and mahmoud abbas partners for peace. this man says abbas sends a different message to his people. >> the palestinian authority glorifies terrorists, honors them, and names summer camps after them and soccer tournaments after them. the mes

on our northern border, iran's proxy, hezbollah, continues to stockpile arms and threaten our civilians while they target innocent people across the world. hezbollah is destroying lebanon and supporting the brutal massacre of the same people by president assad. fortunately, the syrian nuclear capacity was destroyed. but unfortunately, thousands of chemical weapons remain. we cann we cannot allow those weapons to fall in the terrorists' hands. it could lead to an epic tragedy. in an attempt to spring to the arab world, it is an arab choice, it is an arab initiative. it may bring peace to the region, freedom to the people, economic growth to the arab states. eventually, it can lead to a better tomorrow. we pray it will become a reality. i believe the real division is between skeptics and those who believe in peace. your voice will encourage, i believe. you came to us with the clear message that no one should let skepticism win the day. a vision that says clearly that peace is not only a wish, but a possibility. i fully support your call. there is no other way to make the fooch better. the

iran will blow back with thousands -- and hezbollah and possibly syria too and hamas on israel.s a risk that iran could attack us. i think in my countdown scenario they don't try to draw us in. they would like to fight straight on with israel. the question is whether the presidential in real life, shift back to real life -- did the president behind closed doors give netanyahu a green light? i'm divided. a few of us are divided on that. publicly what the president said israel needs the right to defend itself by itself. so if netanyahu now has to go into the next few weeks or months. i think he has a soundbite that says you gave me clearance. >> sean: i don't like the fact that israel has had a to ask obama -- i want to ask you -- i want to get everyone else in. do you believe that the bunker buster bombs, we keep reading over and over again these facilities are in obscure places they are buried way beneath the ground, can we get to them? that is not what i've heard. >> yes, we can. what the israelis need to do is break iran's control over the nuclear fuel cycle n at certain key p

hezbollah in lebanon.cific, and when i pressed her in a follow-up, was it the assad regime, that she believes used the chemical weapons, she would not say. you heard the president say in his answer today, he's skeptical about any claims that it was the opposition that may have used chemical weapons, though he won't say whether he believes chem kwical weapons were used a all. they want to get the facts on all of this, but right now, clearly, the u.s. officials have one line, israeli officials have a different one. >> the president saying the u.s. needs to gather the facts. he makes it clear that he doesn't want that so-called, what he said genie to be out of the bottle. he said it would be a game changer if that red line were crossed by the syrian military. another red line, john king, involves iran right now. do you sense that there is a significant difference between the israeli assessment and the u.s. assessment on the urgency of what is going on? >> i don't think there is any disagreement at all on the

hezbollah on the northern border.day announcing it would destroy tel aviv if there is an israeli attack. in that kind of uncertainty and hostility, no way they could be asks to take risks today. number one priority is iran, number two is syria. >> bret: last thing on iran. he reiterated iran must not get a nuclear weapon. and cannot be contained. peres said america is looking for peace but if somebody threatens peace america is not a chicken. >> this whole conversation, i don't see thissed are call shift that you are portraying. israel go beyond the border and occupy other's hands i think a lot of people thought what illegitimate -- >> that is not what he said today. >> he said he doesn't view them as a central obstacle to peace. before. softer line than he >> softener saying let's not focus where we disagree. in terps of iran i don't think there has been an argument that the united states is very clear the united states will not tolerate iran having nuclear weapons. >> it's on the peace process. i'm not sure he sees

we have to continue to confront hezbollah.he united states and israel have a shared interest in syria as well. assad has shown disregard for human life and dignity engaging in the murder of his citizens. assad must go. we are not signing up for one murderous gang replacing another in damascus. that is why our focus is on supporting a legitimate opposition to a peaceful region. that is why we are betting those to whom we provide assistance. because they recognize the danger of assad's arsenal, we have set a clear red line against the use of the transfer of those weapons. we will work to prevent this conflict and these weapons from threatening israel's security. while we try to ensure an end to the dictatorship in syria, we have supported a transition to an egyptian democracy. we have no illusions. we know how difficult this will be. and how difficult it is. there has been a dramatic change in israel. it is not about us. it profoundly affects us. we need to be invested in egypt's success and stability. a stable, successful egypt

prime minister and his whole government have resigned following a dispute with the shiite group hezbollah are the country has been in political deadlock ever since hezbollah brought the creation of a supervisory body for parliamentary elections coming up in june the move could destabilize lebanon which is finding it increasingly difficult to stop the syrian conflict from spilling over its border. and israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu has apologized to turkey for errors that may have occurred during the garza flotilla raid on boats carrying aid to guard twenty ten israeli commandos stormed six boats heading to palestine killing nine to nationals netanyahu also promised to compensate the victims' families and underline the importance of cooperation between the two states during a phone call to the prime minister frosty relations with thought during president obama's recent visit to the middle east and easing tensions between israel and its neighbors. coming up next we head to our washington studio for the breaking news that we've got to. jorge rios an argentinean student at seventee

i don't have any other evidence i can quote about hezbollah, but that in itself is a great danger. and is one of the reasons we are assisting with the stability of lebanon. in lebanon two weeks ago i announced additional british funding for the lebanese armed forces, who are a very important part of trying to keep that border peaceful, including our direct help of a construction of border observation post. and, of course, everything else that we are doing to try to bring about a resolution. >> my right honorable friend has always been clear that we've tried to stop the killing and find a peaceful solution. it a peaceful solution can be fined, if assad stays in power, would reveal to accept the to or have we reached a stage where a precursor to the 20 deal, assad moscow? >> it's not for us to decide he was in power from any other country, including in syria. it is of course the position of the syrian national coalition, of all opposition groups that they want the departure of president assad. but we will not be more like the syrian opposition than the syrian opposition. he has said

if this really does end in a fight with hezbollah in lebanon, hezbollah allegedly has at least 50,000ter rockets, too. >> and iron dome could not handle 50,000? >> no way. no. it will help. i think there are 5 iron dome systems in place active at the moment. their goal is to create 13 iron dome systems. it will help a lot. but hundreds of rockets fired a day. it apt going to do that much. >> does this set back peace though in an odd way? if you can build fortresses for israel, then what is the incentive to do a two state solution? >> one of the issues of iron dome, one of the reasons that part of the military was against the iron dome is it was considered to be a defensive weapon. and israel, the military crowd is an offensive army. so they said we're spending money in the wrong place. we shouldn't be worried about defending. we should be worried about winning by creating attacking weapons. so the relevance it has for the peace process is as i said, it buys israel time when there is an attack. but in the long term, in a sense it affects the peace process. the more invulnerable israel

the al qaeda/hezbollah action in syria is very, very concerning to recognize terrorist organizations. real trouble real quick. if you want a diplomatic solution -- and i still think there's one possible -- you can't do it if you have no credibility with the opposition and no credibility with our arab league partners. and right now we find ourselves in that spot. so you have to build that credibility. this is not boots on the ground, by the way. i want to make that very clear, we don't need 101st airborne division showing up. >> when you said boots on the groupd, am i wrong? i thought you said over the weekend that you joined in with senator mccain and senator levin, and you want some kind of special forces to go in with syria to identify, locate, or somehow get the chemical weapons back. hence i call that boots on the ground. >> i think it's really important to be clear about what we're trying to do here. we have small groups, special capability forces that we can add to the mix here that does t doesn't -- is not at the front end of the fighting, but brings special capabilities. throu

the country has seen that has been locked in a political stalemate ever since hezbollah blocks the creation of the supervisory body to oversee the next parliamentary election so it's fears of the move could further destabilize lebanon which is finding it increasingly difficult to prevent the syrian civil war from spilling over the border. and coming up after the break we'll take an in-depth look at the everyday life of the rebel fighters in the oil rich niger delta stay with us here on c. there was a time of a miracle when bosses were officially surrogate. today if they tried to resegregate the wall next to there would be outrage throughout the usa every t.v. channel and newspaper so segregation in america was wrong but no america funding segregation no for via foreign aid seems to be a ok and jim dandy arab language leaflets have been spread around west bank in palestinian areas asking residents to start using special bus lines plans to put palestinians on separate bus lines were first announced in november of two thousand and twelve after some complaints by jewish settlers of trouble on t

they are fears in israel that either hezbollah or an agent of al qaeda will try to confiscate the storageuclear, chemical arsenal, in the case of these few hours when the regime actually falls. and in that case, israel is considered to have a ground assault into the specific locations of these bunkers. >> to secure the chemical weapons. >> to secure them. and that might i would say that might come in a contradiction with american interests. that would try to form or to support the rebels, without intervening militarily on the ground. and i think that israel wants to be sure that the united states completely approved the israeli point of view that the first priority would be to prevent either hezbollah or al qaeda forces to get hold of the strategic weapons, strategic weapon are the scud missiles and the chemical arsenal. >> from what i'm hearing from american officials, the u.s. might take that action unilaterally on its own. or at least green-light the israeli action because it is an absolute red line with the president. so it seems as though on that they are much, much closer. >> we're

hezbollah is entrenched in the lebanese government. it hasn't changed as much as our focus has diminished. lebanon in a way has been since 2009 intoord nateed to the syrian issue. on syria we have come full circle going from engagement and pressure perhaps even greater pressure on asad than we had in 2008. and he is probably regretting the support for al qaeda and iraq which is coming back to bite him. when it comes to iran, you know, i was reading an article recently in preparation for a different speech about the iran negotiation. it was the president saying how the last offer we made meeting with a relatively response from the iranians. we were feeling optimistic. we to give them time and space while keeping all our option on the table. the article is from 2006, which tells you a little bit how the issue has or hasn't changed. the fact is that this is the issue which feels the most similar now to where it stood in 2008. there's more sanctions but iran's nuclear program expanded as well. the status quo may be deteriorating but looks

turkey is another, hezbollah and lebanon, egypt, i agree is yet another so there is not one formula. islam is diverse and it will vary from one country to the other. in some countries, islam is in time will become a pragmatic. in other countries, it would be an ongoing revolution, radicallization. >> we have not been clear enough, john kerry has done this on his last trip but we need to be more clear about standing for democratic principleses. minority rights, women's rights, freedom of expression, all of the stuff is democracy that the muslim brotherhood in egypt is begin to to dismantle. >> even with some awful examples of mod rule in which some people -- >> brutality towards women. >> or the military in egypt may look north an look at the turkish brethren and realize that if you wait too long and try to take it to the regime you may rot in jail. >> yeah. >> that happened because they wanted to put the military back into the baracks as they said. and they did that and more. >> yeah. baracks in the full sense of the term. >> yes, indeed. let me close by this. what is the essential c

terror groups such as hezbollah and al-qaeda are trying to seize these weapons as we speak. you know, they are like a pack of hyenas feeding off of a carcass and the carcass is not even dead yet. these terror groups are committed to israel's destruction. they repeatedly attack the united states. they are global terrorist organizations that can perpetrate terror attacks anywhere around the world. you have seen them in cyrus, and bulgaria, everywhere. this is why we have a common interest in preventing them from obtaining these deadly weapons. i know that here too president obama fully appreciates israel's need to defend itself and i look forward to discussing with him ways to address this challenge to our common security. the third issue i intend to discuss with president obama is our common quest for peace. israel seeks a peace with our palestinian neighbors, a peace that will and our conflict once and for all. now that peace must be grounded in reality and it must be grounded in security. israel withdrew from lebanon. we withdrew from gaza. we gave up territory. we got terr

the fact that hezbollah's allies, the asad regime has stockpiled chemical weapons only heightens the urgency. we will continue to cooperate closely to guard against that danger. i've made it clear to alassad and all who follow his orders we will not tolerate the use of chemical weapons against the southeastern people or the transfer of those weapons. the world is watching. e will hold you accountable. the syrian people have the right to be freed from the grips of a dit takor who would rather kill his own people than relinquish power. assad must go so the serious future can begin. because true stability in syria begins upon establishing a government that is responsible to its people. one that protects all communities within its borders while making peace with countries beyond them. these are the things i think about when i think about israel's security. when i consider israel's security i also think about a people who have a living memory of the holocaust. faced with the prospect of a nuclear-armed iranian government that has called for israel's destruction. it's no wonder israelis vi

we have hezbollah support and continuing russian military and other forms of support.e've been clear, as well, that we have concerns that extremists are infiltrating the opposition and particularly al-qaeda affiliated extremists. >> reporter: that is precise reason that the u.s. is refusing to arm the rebels because they can't be sure whom they would be arming. >> gregg: and real tragedy here is the human costs keep going. >> reporter: you mentioned the 70,000 killed. 1.1 million refugees, according to the u.n. those figures could go much higher. they predict the number of refugees could hit 3 million by the end of this year if it drags on. there are already another 2.5 million that have lost their homes or being forced out of their homes internally and 5 million who in what is called urgent need of humanitarian assistance. it does look to set to drag on and on and on without direct aid in terms of weapons from the likes of the united states, the rebels say they simply cannot win and we are stuck in a war of attrition that is having such a terrible effect on so many ci

i've walked through israeli homes devastated by hezbollah rockets.hildren who simply want to grow up free from fear. and flying in today i saw again how israel security can be measured in mere miles in minutes. as president, i've therefore made it clear, america's commitment to the security of the state of israel as a solemn obligation and the security of israel is nonnegotiatable. today our military and intelligence personnel cooperate more closely than ever before. we conduct more joint exercises and training than ever before. we're providing more security assistance and advanced technology to israel than ever before. and that includes more support for the missile defenses, like iron dome, which i saw today and which has saved so many israeli lives. in short, and i don't think this is just my opinion, i think you would share this, america's support for israel security is unprecedented in the alliance between our nation has never been stronger. that's the sturdy foundation we built on today as we addressed a range of shared cham challenges. >> as pa

carved into the mall lot -- mallot was hezbollah. her nephew had been killed. parents in the chaos had followed the shooting clustered at the school waiting and hoping. those who were hit were rushed to stockton area hospitals. emergency room stabilized and parents were running to find out how their children were. 18 of the children were admitted in severe conditions. singh was one of the lucky ones. a few hours after the shooting she left with her mother, she had been shot in the arm. it was near some portable classrooms where police say the gunman committed suicide. those classrooms were filled with children in a hard of hearing class. all the children killed at this school today were southeast asians. from families one official says already traumatized from the war they left behind. families who had sought safety in america. >> 10 years after the shootings in that stockton schoolyard, one of the children wounded talked about how that day affected him. and so did his brother who was not hit by the bullets but suffered psychological wounds of his own. >> repor

certain things such as some of their weapons, missiles in particular are heading over the border to hezbollah, an organization in lebanon that the united states and israel both consider a terrorist organization. that is going to be something that is going to be on the agenda in the discussions. but this chemical weapon issue is one that they were going to be talking about beforehand. they also have talked about the difficulties if you speak with folks that know about how to get rid of some of the weapons, the difficulties of getting rid of chemical weapons, you cannot just do an air strike. you have to go in on the ground to pull those out. a very big concern. we've been on the border of the israel-syria border and been able to hear some of the fighting inside of syria. some of that fighting spilled over into israel. so definitely a very high concern, something that will be talked about between the president and prime minister netanyahu. >> probably just moves up on the agenda. do we expect president obama to move forward in the movement in the israeli-palestinian peace process as well? >> re

i might ask you a question, imagine al qaeda, imagine hezbollah with chemical weapons.o all the people who have potential targets for those extremist terrorist groups? we can't allow it to happen. >> i want you to clarify, if you can, there seems to be a nuance difference between the prime minister and the president of the united states when it comes to a red line for iran. prime minister netanyahu speaks of early summer, a red line. the president thinks it's going to be at least a year before iran has some sort of nuclear weapons capability. explain what's going on here. >> i don't think the differences are that large at all, wolf. if you say to us, and the prime minister addressed it publicly this evening, that the iranians could have a flu clear weapon in about a year, i'm not sure we disagree with that assessment. we look at another issue, the issue of nuclear enrichment. when they have enough enriched uranium for a bomb, that means that it's impossible to stop them from our perspective. so we're looking at other factors as well. and unfortunately the clock is ticki
