remi ochlik was also killed in the attack.t, anderson. it's partly personal safety. there's nowhere to run. the syrian army is holding the perimeter. and it's just far more ordinance being poored into the city and no way of predicting where it's going to land. plus, there's a lot of snipers on the high building surrounding it. there's a lot of neighborhoods. you can figure out where a sniper is but you can't figure out where the shell is going to land. just the terror of the people and the helplessness of these families hiding on the first floor. all they can do is pray it doesn't hit them. it's difficult to watch. >> many young people in syria are risking themselves every day to bring us images. our arwa damon is taking us into a building in homs that has become a hub for the opposition. >> reporter: it hit us. it hit our house. there is something burning, the voice on the tape cries out. the media house has been hit. drop the live camera, someone yells. they have discovered our live position. but nothing they say will shut t

marie and remi and what they were trying to tell us is how bad things are in the city of homs. we are watching crimes against humanity before our eyes and there is no political will anywhere to do anything about it. russia is the stumbling block. and people are trying to put pressure on moscow but vladimir putin is so far resistant to it. no safe havens. chris: what country wants to get in from the rebels? >> you're getting pressure from the americans and the brits and europeans as well on this. >> next week the israeli prime minister is going to be coming to washington and this is sort of crunch time for prome and mr. -- president obama and netanyahu to figure out how they're going to address in the next few months, we had a politically perilous time, the iran nuclear question. chris: our big question goes right to that coming up. >> we have a parliamentary election in iran next month. and in true arraign -- iranian fashion we already know who the loser is. mahmoud ahmadinejad. because the supreme leader and his allies have wiped all of ahmadinejad's allies off the election li

. >> that is a great point, remy. let me ask you real quick about the news of the week and the president coming out w with the tax proposal. you said you are disappointed with president obama's tax policy specifically with dividends and cap talgains. what is the issue? >> obama has always been for maintaining a break on dividends. when he campaigned in the last presidential election,e didn't want to raise it from 15 to 20% but he never had talked about raising it all the way up to ordinary income tax rates. and the reason is very, very simple is that our system and we have the highest corporate tax rates in the world and within a smidgen. firms are not allowed to subtract d dividends. when they pay out dividends they are paying a profit tax and individuals are paying a tax on the eaearnings. and around the world almos every couny gives a break to dividends. and to suddenly take that away in a period where more than ever we investors, those baby boomers th are entering retirement need that dividend income more than eve

slightly higher than the original observatory's groups the syrian observatory for human rights led by remy up to or around makes a point to be they say you know they're independent right and that they were called all deaths whether they're soldiers syrian soldiers loyal to the regime or the defectors or their protesters where as. now is are it's group printed as well but their figures for the number of. military dead a much much lower. there seems to be you know a certain agenda there and behind it all seems to me basically. although both sides deny differences in in military intervention essentially in political differences there is different trends in the syrian opposition mainly between people who support outside intervention and the protestors who don't so you've got the syrian national council which are now openly in favor of a no fly zone which to me seemed ridiculous because you know there isn't any even claimed that i know of. the syrian regime for all its many crimes there's no claims that it's bombed people so no fly zone just seems a political. pretext to invade to me. and the o
