jordan has enormous stake in peace. we do think there is a wind of opportunity that needs to be seized. we will consult how we can jumpstart serious conversations that could lead to a peaceful settlement, and a secure israel with normalize relationship with its neighbors. and a palestinian state is sovereign. of great concern is the situation in syria. jordan has experienced an influx of refugees coming into the country from syria. people who have been displaced. jordan historically has maintained open borders and allow these refugees on a humanitarian effort to come in. it is an enormous strain on the country. we are mobilizing support to help with these refugees. our goal is to create a stable syria where civilians are not at risk. we both agreed at this point, president assad has lost legitimacy. that we need to find a political transition that allows a multi- sect democratic transition that takes place so that syria can be a place for all people can come live in peace and harmony. this would be difficult to accompli

and thanks to the love she received in jordan, she is now open to a relationship with jesus.'ll tell you the truth, i will never look at a burqa the same way again. that trip truly changed my life. for more information on the ministries that are helping these refugees, you can go to cbnnews.com, and you can post your words of encouragement and your prayers for the victims of syria's war on our facebook page as well. the international community is on edge as north korea ratchets up his rhetoric and provocative actions. the regime has cut off communications with the south, and proclaimed that a state of war exists between the two countries. it has also threatened the united states, and moved two missiles it says it can travel a considerable range to its east coast. south korea says there are no signs that the north is preparing for a full-scale conflict, but the u.s. is taking no chances. it is sending guided missile destroyers, and land-based interceptors for missile defense. they tell open doors u.s.a. that the country is on a war footing, and they are asking the country to p

jordan. jordan currently hosts about 300,000 syrian refugees. of jordan'spercent own population. today the government has not closed its 200 and 30 mile border with syria. estimates that 60,000 refugees arrived. i got this number yesterday from our office in jordan. this is further straining the capacity of established caps. camps.ablished this has created a dramatic increase in rent prices in jordan in urban settings, affecting refugees and jordanians. -- i camp is due to open with in a month's time -- an eventual capacity of 30,000 refugees. that is a lot of pressure on jordan. care isn't looking to work in this. care -- care is looking to work in this camp. -- care jordan has decades of experience working with refugees. we started 65 years ago in 1948 supporting palestinians who . jordan has care supported iraqi refugees with cash relief items, training and other assistance. ^ jordan knows that building community support -- care jordan knows that building community support is in aspect. it

there was a concern about jordan.nt assad has talked about using troops and going into jordan. so senator graham up on the hill has talked about that and listen to king abdullah about the situation today. >> the international community should be working with a syrian opposition council the day after assad falls that we secure the weapons and destroy them forever so they can't be used against us or anyone else. secondly, contain this fighting so that the king of jordan does not fall. >> the last visit to jordan, we've had 60,000 refugees, up to over half a million. >> bret: five weeks, 60,000 refugees. >> jordan has always been the one country in the region after israel, of course, that has been reliably pro-american. this is for 60, 70 years. the pressure it's under is tremendous. it took in in the earlier decades, palestinian refugees that had a civil war. it also has pressure from the islamists inside the country. and yet it hangs in there. to add refugees at a time when high unemployment is to risk the regime, whic

but jordan doubled the number of soldiers on the border with syria -- >> jordan doubled the number of soldiers on the border with syria. syria accuses jordan of hosting rebels. the jordanian government denies it is involved. inside jordan, the government is battling a vocal opposition dominated by the muslim brotherhood. the parties stepped up its first television channel. our reporter went to take a look. >> jordan's muslim brotherhood said it would have never dreamt of having its own television channel had it not been for the arab spring. there was no revolution here, but the uprisings in the region has brought about greater freedom. the muslim brotherhood launched a channel about a year ago. >> our audience, especially islamic audience, was one of the first groups to make their voices heard in the arab spring. for the local tv channel, this event work in our favor. we became unique. let's although it describes itself as conservatives, his host is unveiled female activism politicians although they will not hire any females unless they wear the veil. there have been attempts to jam t

gaza west bank the others in jordan. they could have had gaza. they all wanted. they are aware of what is going on in gaza even the muslim -- brotherhood does not like what is going on so the idea to give the territories fact of the two-state solution to say we do not wish to govern millions of palestinians. those in a peaceful democratic state which we have not created yet. but the problem is precisely when you are confronted with that fact and peaceful state does not exist yet what do you do? we wait? or let's go forward anyway? i was a critic of the clinton administration policy to create the state to give it to yasser arafat concentrating on the borders but what was the nature? bush starting with a 2002 speech did not do that. estate is more important than the border. once you set a timetable you say it doesn't really matter just create the state and hope for the best. most every government in the world has that policy. >> jim shriver i'd like to ask a question about the israeli withdrawal from gaza arafat died after announced they would withdraw and sharon,

it would naturally have a relationship to the kingdom of jordan. you would travel through the airport, your trade would be with jordan. the economic link of the trade agreement and union, common currency would be natural. wouldn't political links developed as well particularly when they need security and law-and-order, the jordanian army is a good army? i will quote a palestinian friend of mine who said remembers this, there must be an independent palestinian state at least for 15 minutes. what he meant was there is a principal for them, to independence. exercising that right successfully is quite a different story. >> i am a professor -- i have a question. dimension someone is in your dock fifth, many israelis like myself believe the doctrine of islam, there can be no possibility for any reconciliation because what we need is reconciliation. we need real reconciliation so if you think given the doctrine of islam including the hamas document, in the palestinian complement, basically says the jewish people have religion and do not deserve their own

>> over 175,000 are sitting right now in camps in jordan. just was with the king of jordan in washington the other day. the amount of agonizing humanitarian challenges on turkey's border with syria, iraq's border. we're talking over a million refugees who are now just on the borders and over 3 million who are refugees in syria. >> what is the conversation going to be like with king abdullah? >> there's also an irony, in that the united states has tried to keep this a sirrion conflict. this is no longer a syrian conflict. weapons are coming in from outside countries, russia is supporting the regime. you've got extreme u.s. fighters coming in. it is no longer a syrian conflict. it is a regional conflict. and the fear that it was going to spill over has spilled over. there's an irony in that for the past two areas, those that have been advocating a lack of intervention or lack of action have been saying they don't want this conflict to spread and here we are, two years on, and it has spread. i just saw the map that came up on the screen and it

more than 500,000 syrians have fled to jordan since the start of the civil war more than two years ago. president obama has yet to publicly comment on this new evidence of chemical weapons use, but referred to them as a game changer just months ago. >> that a red line for us is, we start seeing a whole bunch of chemical weapons moving around or being utilized. that would change my calculus. that would change my equation. >> even as members of the president's inner circle urged caution, members of congress are declaring that so-called red line is trampled. >> i think it's pretty obvious that red line has been crossed. >> the sooner assad leaves, the better for the world. >> all right. so let's dig in right now. joining me at the top of this hour, nbc news white house correspondent, kristen welker. nbc news foreign correspondent, ayman mohyeldin, and connecticut senator, richard blumenthal. senator, i'll ask you to stand by for one second while we check in with kristen and ayman. kristen, let's begin with the political calculations that go into what the white house is looking for, especi

at this time i'm going to turn it over to chief howard jordan.i would like to ask you if you can reserve any questions until after the chief provides the information then we'll go into questions from the media. okay, thank you very much. >> thank you. first let me start out by offering my condolences to the family of 26 victims due to violence. in the last week of april two homicides occurred that caused community concerns one was mr. boywyer's murder and mr. flucker who took place on april 6. though unrelated both murders shared a similarity. both were outstanding citizens minding their business, carrying on their business and were met with violence that caused them to get killed. funerals of both men were attended by my staff and arrests were made and charges were filed against the person responsible for mr. flucker's funeral. that particular case the family got answered and they got answered very quickly. in this particular case it took us a little longer. today as i mentioned earlier we attended the funeral of mr. clint bowyer and we shared t

troops will be a sense of jordan's border with syria to both of jordan's training and defense capabilities as one jordanian minister later commented they have also been confirmed reports that the u.s. agreed to deploy to praise red missile batteries at the border here. in sudan in authorities and syrian opposition requests in another significant twist the judge put a looser front to the most of the back to force fighting to topple assad recently confirmed it had links to al qaida something america claimed months before blacklist in the group as a terrorist organization but even after these revelations they had of the syrian national coalition them rela united political and military opposition groups and recognized by the majority of the friends of syria group referred to as brothers russia has warned the meeting in istanbul could have a negative effect in promoting dollars between the sides of the conflict and in its hopes common sense will prevail rif national team from middle east. the winds of change missed the world's most oil rich nation this time around venezuela where as in the majo

i care about jordan.very much about lebanon but i'm still left with the fact, what does this have to do with us? being the world policemen hasn't gotten us that far. >> i agree with you. i think that's why we should be the reluctant warrior as a country. but we have to understand that the war drums are beating in america. just today, just this morning in the "washington post," joe lieberman said america cannot be an isolationist. this is drum rattling that you're going to be hearing these next several weeks. we've got to engage. we've got to engage. i'm saying time-out. we've already committed $250 million to syria. $250 million. how about putting that into america? because i don't want to get involved in a civil war. especially when that civil war in syria is between hezbollah and al qaeda. that is a lose/lose situation if you ask me. >> and patrick, i think what you and toure are both talking about is that tough balance of not getting involved places where we don't need to, versus the humanitarian trage

i was in a refugee camp in jordan, and there are thousands of people and kids, and this woman who was a schoolteacher said, senator mccain, do you see these children here? they're going to take revenge on those people who refused to help them. they're angry and bitter. and that legacy could last for a long time, too, unless we assist them. >> let me turn you quickly to a couple of domestic items. this funding that came up at the end of the week over the faa and flight delays and new legislation to basically provide the administration with more flexibility to get the planes running on time again, what would you be prepared to do to replace the sequester of the most harmful effects of the sequester? is that a model for what washington ought to be doing about it? >> well, i say with all due respect to my friends, it's a little bit hypocritical on the same day when all of the focus was on the delays that we have in getting through airports, the chief of staff of the united states army was saying that we are going -- if we don't reverse this, we're going to have a hollow army. we'll be una

but it was a huge investigation nonetheless because by the time of jordan's alleged offense we had an independent counsel law. the charge came originally from a man who had been indicted for tax evasion, one of the owners of studio 54 who said, as part of a plea bargain, "i can get you hamilton jordan." people say this a lot when there are plea bargaining and no one thinks much of it, but this time because the independent counsel law had been passed -- it was then still called the special prosecutor -- the charge had to be sent to washington, and in washington unless the attorney general could really dismiss the charges and know that they were false, he had to go forward to appoint an independent counsel, which he did. there were lie detector tests and interviews of scores of witnesses. because the investigation was public, secondary charges against jordan began to come out of the woodwork. it took months -- six months, i think -- until arthur christy concluded that the evidence just wasn't there. c-span: so he was never indicted nor never convicted of anything. >> guest: no, nothing.

chief jordan would not say what the perceived threat was. now, the department must determine if action was appropriate but he stresses officers were led to the group by a witness following them. someone he says that was either involved in, or knew about the robbery. it's important to mention it will be under review by the internal affairs division. chief jordan says he's keeping the family abreast of the investigation. >> this morning's storm provided a lot of headaches. a tree fell and blocked highway 116. it took hours for caltrans crews to remove that downed tree. pg&e also went to work preparing power lines that snapped. the rain came down during morning commute. chp was visible on the slick road. sandhya patel with how much rain we got. sandhya? >> yes. not a lot left. let's show it to you now. radar along with national weather service radar still watching spotty showers. we're seeing returns here. so spotty showers for this evening. st. helena picking up an inch. just under half an inch in san francisco, boulder creek 56/100ths. oaklan

jordan is under pressure from the effects of syria. the third thing is to control the inevitable second war. we have let this go so long, and if we have listened to senator mccain a couple of years ago, we would not have this problem. there are up to 6,000 al qaeda- type fighters in syria, the country is fragmented along sectarian lines, and chaos is everywhere. the day assad falls there will be a conflict between the majority of syrians who want to move forward and a small a small group of jihadists. that conflict need to be planned for. , the betterassad for the world. >> questions? >> [indiscernible] >> what about boston? >> we have had a briefing on that. >> we had a briefing on that. >> north korea? the chinese still hold the key to north korea. there are some signs that they are getting a little weary of the ethics of this young man, -- the antics of this young man, but still it is a precarious situation. let me point out again --the situation in syria is unacceptable. the president said this would be a red line if they used chem

i mean, we have spillage and refugees in jordan, in lebanon, in -- displaced people in syria. the suffering is intense. and i don't think the world's greatest superpower, the united states, can stand by and not do anything. now we have done some things and the president deserves a lot of credit for that, but i think there's perhaps a little bit more we could do on the humanitarian front. >> but we're talking about a red line being crossed, congressman, and whether the united states has military options to back up what the president said, you don'r those will be severe consequences. >> the situation here is complex. my concern is al qaeda has more influence than it should among the rebels and just the rebels al qaeda can take advantage of it. having said that the president did say that there's a red line and once the united states lays down a red line, some action has to be taken. now what that's going to be, i was at the briefing with senator kerry the other day. he really didn't lay that out. the administration is right now trying to figure out what to do. i'm not trying to m
