the prime minister defected to jordan today, the conflict in syria is a serious problem for jordan because of the tens of thousands of refugees i went to the refugee camps on the border that separate syria and jordan and spoke with some of the people who have come across the border and are now living in tents. here is my conversation with king abdullah. >> your majesty, thanks for taking this time. it is quite a moment in the region for jordan. >> absolutely. >> rose: let me begin with syria. how is this going to play itself out? >> well, that is anybody's guess. obviously as part of the international community we are desperately looking for a political solution and i think all of us going back several months were engaged with the russians because we felt that was the best option on the table. having the russians being the guarantor to the regime of finding an exit policy that allows a peaceful transition. that is still the best option on the table. the only problem i think over the past two months we have seen a creep on the ethnic violence, the start of potential civil war, when differen

transit camp in jordan.ut this is not the kind of park where children normally play, and the syrians here are still scared. most not want their faces shown. ahmed was studying english literature until the fighting was too much to bear. even the journey out was dangerous. >> so dangerous. about 7 miles walking. [inaudible] the army cover that we were going to jordan. >> 80 you feel safe in jordan? -- and do you feel safe? >> save, yes. comfort, no. >> there is a different struggle now. handouts are stressful. even if everyone is getting enough water and food. but this camp was set up for 800 people. 8000 have come here, forcing jordan to rethink its response. syrians had been allowed to leave these centers to stay with relatives or friends. not anymore. security forces guard all the exits. jordan is also shutting other transit camps. months ago when dozens crossed the border daily, this facility could handle the influx. >> it looks like the syrians to live here had to leave in a hurry, and they're probably di

but in jordan, clean water is in short supply. to prevent waste, there's a water recycling system next to the mosque. tucked away below the gravel is a basin. it takes a few days before the water has been fully purified. then it's used to water the surrounding flora. the garden is a little slice of paradise amid an otherwise barren landscape. a trip through the country shows just how dry jordan is. even the tourist industry is affected by the water shortage. and the jordanian economy relies on tourism. the dead sea spa does its best to use water sparingly and makes efforts to recyle as much as possible. management doesn't want the guests' stay to be in any way impaired. wastewater from showers and sinks is collected and directed to a water treatment system much like the one at the mosque. german water expert dieter rothenberger oversaw the planning and installation of the system three years ago. a system like this needs to be integrated into the original design of a building. it can't be added later. it allows 80 percent of waste
