glom attic challenges in syria is richard murphy, former u.s. ambassador to syria. ambassador, thank you so much for being with us today. it's clear that obama really is pressing hard for these military strikes. is there any way, any possibility that there is still a chance for diplomatic solution? >> no. not immediate. what the president has to do is carry out some kind of strike but keep the door open for diplomatic pressure to get the parties together, get the regime and the opposition parties together. the one problem he has is to make sure that to the extent it's possible, they do not end up closing the door and making it more difficult to talk afterwards, but to increase the pressure not only on assad but on the opposition to come together and talk. >> but i want to go back to something you just said. you said it's now to the point where we have to have a military strike. >> i think we have gone so far down the road, i don't see there is any turning back. >> interesting. is there any way, however, that a military strike could actually backfire on president oba

former ambassador richard murphy says those concerns are valid. >> the danger is as time goes on the opposition attracts more and more of those we call extremists. and i think secretary kerry has been making those points that the need to act is now, as quickly as possible. >> secretary of state john kerry says what he calls extremist makeup 20 to 25% of the opposition. >>> walmart workers are protesting in more than a dozen cities across the u.s. they are demanding higher wages and better jobs, they are calling on walmart to undue the firings of workers that took place in the previous strike. john, in valley stream, new york, how are the protests going on out there? >> hey, richelle welcome to sunny valley stream, getting underway at 1:00 probably but you can see some of the early protestors who have turned up in recommendation of what's going to happen. in the meantime many more of them have been busy in manhattan. fifth avenue offices of chris williams a board member for walmart and there they delivered a petition with 200,000 signatures on it calling for a minimum wage and better
