jordan's king abdullah now calls it his country's fifth-largest city. more than 120,000 syrian refugees-- including 60,000 children-- are packed into the camp living in tents and trailers on five square miles of dry and dusty ground. just 15 miles from their homeland's border, they often can hear the fighting between the forces of syrian president bashar al-assad and the rebel free syrian army. the refugees are out of the war zone, but they face plenty of new challenges. >> (translated): my children have all been sick for 20 days now. >> reporter: 25-year-old nadia raja and her five children arrived from syria five weeks ago. >> (translated): they have fevers. they are suffering from the hot weather, the polluted water, and from their situation in general in the camps because of the heat. >> reporter: a clean tent didn't protect the family from zaatari's fly infestation. to say that life in the camp is hard is an understatement by nearly any definition. in the winter residents endure snowstorms and flooding. in the summer they struggle to survive temper

meantime, and jordan, carry met with king abdullah and jordan's foreign minister. kerry says they're working on the best approach to the conflict in syria. >> we're not here to dictate to the opposition particularly but to any group. we are here to suggest, we are here to work with people. to work through different ideas and to try to find the best way forward. >> kerry also met with prime israeli prime minister benjamin netan yahu in jerusalem. he signaled he wants to restart peace talks with palestinians. >> riding is broken out for the past four nights in sweden's capital, stockholm, with scores of cars set alight and violent clashes between police and young people. >> at least 30 cars were set ablaze across western and southern stock home early thursday. firefighters say that never before seen so many fires raging at the same time. rioters also burnt down a restaurant. the unrest began sunday in response to may 13th shooting, in which police killed a 69 year-old night wielding man. >> a government investigation says poor quality construction materials and build

jourdainian counterfoorts nhance the capabilities as president obama has said we're also supporting king abdullah's efforts -- as with israel, the civil war with syria was the focus of my discussions in amman. as you all know the conflict in syria is intensifying and becoming more sectarian. the possibilities of state fragmentation are increasing as are the risks of extremism and proliferation. the humanitarian situation is worsening. the situation is complex and combustible. the united states has been leading the international community in organizing and applying sanctions. and is the largest provider of the humanitarian assistance to the syrian people. earlier today in rome, secretary cary announced the that the president has authorized humanitarian aid for the syrian people. this brings our total humanitarian assistance package to marryly $510 million. we have given non-lethal assistance to the syrian opposition including the armed opposition and that support is growing. the u.s. military has been very involved in delivering these supplies and planning. we are also urging russia and china to do

. >> explain to all of us, we know that jordan's king abdullah had meetings here over a week ago with the vice president and the president. however, as we understand it, israel is trying to say that they weren't trying to take out or do anything against bashar al assad to have him removed although the king would say he is looking for a peaceful transition of power as is the obama administration. what is going on when it comes to how syria is taking and talking about a crushing response? is that possible? >> it is probably not possible. the israelis believe the military is underestimated. they could do damage to israel. there is no real sense that's likely to happen. because israel has made it pretty clear, and i think the syrians understand this, that israel is not attacking years. i can't this has nothing to do with the syrian civil war. this is an attempt by israel to stop iran transferring weapons through syria to hezbollah in south lebanon and then hezbollah would use the weapons against israel in any future war. in a sense you can say that what happened over the last few days is

we've not heard from erdogan, we've not heard from king abdullah from jordan. >> the silence should not be taken for tacit approval. the way many of the arab diplomats have termed this is another example of how complicated this situation has become. there has been the condemnation of the egyptian government. obviously there have been other condemnations from smaller players across the region. but nonetheless, the fact that israel carried this strike out against what they say is an iranian installation or an iranian weapons heading for hezbollah is not going to be welcome news for many of the arab countries, in fact they've introduced a motion at the arab league to bring it up at the united nations through the security council to condemn the attack in what they're describing as a violation of syrian sovereignty. it is an example of how complicated the situation in syria has become with all of the proxy elements playing inside the syria. really exacerbating the conflict. >> richard, in on the turkish border, near syria, you've been working with the rebel leaders. a very interesting interv

jordan, the president having met with king abdullah last week about the growing humanitarian crisis.roke the story earlier this week about what's being done. the humanitarian aid that's going in, obviously this is a small band-aid on a big problem. >> sure. so the administration after two years started providing help directly to the free syrian army, those are the armed rebels. they started giving them medical kits, started giving them food. they're about to start giving them body armor, night vision goggles, stuff that can help them, but not stuff that can help them win the war. in the end, they're going to have to come down to the decision of whether or not they want to help the free syrian army defeat assad sooner rather than later. that goes counter to their strategy of negotiating a political solution, but let's face it. the political solution doesn't seem to be happening anyway. >> meanwhile, when we spoke earlier, the syrian people obviously are looking for some type of help and leadership from the u.s. to come in in some type of diplomatic capacity, if not beyond militarily.

. >> you and i met with king abdullah and others and he said, look, we're working with the white house. they are involved in those discussions. >> he gentlemen, we can continue this conversation but i want to get you on the record about the irs. dramatic developments this week. we only have limited time. the irs admits that it targeted tea party and other conservative patriot groups that had that in their name for extra scrutiny and it now turns out today new reports that some officials within the irs knew about this as early as 2011, not 2012. and the then irs commissioner flatly denied it in the spring of 2012. congressman smith, you first. your reaction? >> really the first i'm hearing of it and with many of these things, i'm not going to lead to conclusions based on initial reports. we need to look at exactly what happened before we can lead to conclusions and start accusing people of things. i think it is worth lacking into. the information is far, far too preliminary to reach any conclusion. >> congressman rogers? came to is that they did have s agents who were engaged in intimid

as president obama has said, we are also supporting the efforts of king abdullah to pursue efforts withjordan. as in israel, the civil war in syria was the focus of my discussions. as you all know, the conflict is intensifying. the possibilities of state fragmentation are increasing, as are the risks of extremism and proliferation. the humanitarian situation is worsening. the situation is complex and combustible. the united states has a leading international community in organizing in applying sanctions and is the largest provider of humanitarian assistance. earlier today in rome they have authorized an additional $100 million in humanitarian aid for the syrian people. this brings the total monetary an assistance package to nearly $510 million. we have given nonlethal assistance to the syrian opposition, including the armed opposition, and that support is going. the u.s. military has been involved in delivering the supplies and planning. we are also urging russia and china to do more to help resolve this conflict because it is also clearly in their interest the end of war. as you know,

as well as in training centers like the one in jordan, the king abdullah special operations training center, which is, again, it's a place where multi-national special operations forces can come together on a frequent basis. and last is just in terms of collaboration with interagency partners. how do we not lose all that we've gained over the past decade. and in particular it's probably even greater emphasis on liaisons being assigned to various interagency organizations as well as one of the things -- this actually came up from someone in the national clandestine service. they suggested we need to be holding routine exercises. we've had a lot of interaction over the past decade. as we move away from designated war zones, how do we, how do we, in fact, think about codifying some of that in a more frequent exercise? on disaggregating sof for persistent engagement, you know, here a couple key recommendations is, one, when we talk about a new breed of sof, it's not, it's not someone with a different haircut or coming from a different school or off the street, but in some ways it's takin
