Looking forward to hearing more about your trip to damascus. New developments from syria. The country says it is ready to deal on chemical weapons. The news comes hours before president obama takes his case to the American People. Monday the president suggested he might support a plan requiring syria to give up its chemical weapons. He told cbs news it was a potentially positive development. Margaret brennan is in washington. Reporter dont need a private conversation public. In the last few hours, syrias foreign minister said his country will accept the new proposal in order to avoid, in his words, u. S. Aggression. But still no detailed plan on how to verify or count the transfer of syrias chemical weapons. When one is presented, the u. S. Will take a hard look at it. The plan to allow international monitors to take control of syrias chemical weapons was first discussed behind closed doors by president s obama and putin at the g20 summit in russia last week. It was revealed publicly for the first time monday by secretary kerry in response to a question from cbs news. Is there anything at this point that his government could do or offer that would stop impact . Sure. He could turn over every single bit of his chemical weapons to the International Community in the next week turn it over all of it. Reporter kerrys remarks prompted Russian Foreign minister Sergey Lavrov to float a similar proposal to the Syrian Government which quickly embraced it. Former secretary of state Hillary Clinton called it an important step. In her first public remarks on the Current Crisis clinton warned the russians not to use the promise of a potential deal as a distraction to postpone a true resolution. This cannot be another excuse for delay or obstruction. And russia has to support the International Communitys efforts sincerely or be held to account. On capitol hill where the president s plan to strike syria gets less popular by the day, members of congress on both sides of the debate were skeptical but said the russian proposal was worth exploring. Washington democrat adam smith is undecided on how hell vote. If syria were to give up all of their chemical weapons, i mean, that would be the best possible result. Reporter Illinois Republican Adam Kinzinger is one of the few in his party to publicly back president obama. If the this is a serious discussion about disarming assad, then it may be a winwin without military strikes but the clocks definitely ticking. Reporter western diplomats tell me that france and the u. S. Are very skeptical that syria will actually comply. And today france will ask the u. N. To enforce it militarily. But we know theres intense diplomacy under way, and that may delay any use of armed force or possibly win over some of the countries who have been reluctant to pledge support for action. This sudden potential has also allowed congress to postpone a vote on the president s call for military strikes. That vote was originally scheduled for wednesday. Margaret thank you. Charlie, even before these discussions became public president obama and president putin discussed this in st. Petersburg in a 20minute aside. You asked president assad about this. I asked him would he be willing to surrender his chemical weapons if, in fact, the president would not engage would not go forward with an air strike. And heres what he said. The president is prepared to strike and perhaps will get the authorization of congress or not. The question then is would you give up chemical weapons if it would prevent the president from authorizing a strike . Is that a deal you would accept . Again, you always imply that we have chemical weapons. I have to because thats the assumption of the president. Yeah. That is his assumption and he is the one who will order the strike. Its his problem, the assumption. But we would do anything to prevent the region from another crazy war. Anything to prevent the region from another crazy war. Yes e. You recognize the consequences for you if there is a strike. Its not about us. Its about the region. Its about your country, your people. Of course. My country. We are part of the decision. It cannot be discussed as syria. It should be part of the region. Thats how we have to look at it. I read that he was prepared to consider if it would not lead to an attack on syria. And well see whether you know scott pelley asked the president about this. Well talk to scott shortly. Well see whether we can verify and how long this would actually take. To make it happen. There is a new cbs News New York times poll this morning that finds the vast majority of americans, 61 , oppose a u. S. Military strike on syria. Only 30 support it. That is just some of the resistance president obama faces as he e speaks to the nation tonight. Cbs evening news anchor scott pelley sat down with the president to talk about syria. Scott, good morning. One of the first questions you asked the president , what do you think he thinks of this russian proposal that would have syria perhaps turn over or show some of its chemical weapons . Well norah, when i met with the president late yesterday, he looked a little bit relieved to my eye to at least have the possibility of avoiding this military strike which he clearly does not want to pursue against the wishes of the American People if he doesnt have to. However, the president of course was showing a great deal of skepticism. He said this has to be verifiable. It has to be enforceable. He said over the next several days were going to see how realistic all of this is. When we sat down with mr. Obama in the blue room of the white house, we started with this news that russia and syria were proposing a diplomatic way out of this jam. What do you see in a diplomatic deal . Well, the key is to paraphrase ronald reagan, that we dont just trust but we also verify verify. And so the importance is to make sure that the International Community has confidence that these chemical weapons are under control, that they are not being used, that potentially they are removed from syria, and that they are destroyed. Is the only agreement you would accept one in which we can be assured that all of syrias chemical weapons are destroyed . You know, i think its premature for me to start drafting language. I think i want to see what exactly is being proposed and in the interim it is very important for congress and the American People to recognize that we would not be getting even ticklers like this if it werent for the fact that we were serious about potentially taking action in the absence of some sort of movement. And so we need to keep the pressure on. The people arent with you. Yeah, well not yet, and as i said i understand that. Ill have a chance to talk to the American People directly tomorrow. I dont expect it will suddenly swing the polls wildly in the direction of another military engagement. If you ask the average person including my household, do we need another military engagement, i think the answer generally is going to be know. No. But what im going to try to propose is we have a very specific objective, a very narrow military option and one that will not lead into some largescale invasion of syria or involvement or boots on the ground, nothing like that. This isnt like iraq. Its not like afghanistan. Its not even like libya. Then hopefully people will recognize why i think this is so important. Assad essentially put you on notice today. In the interview with charlie rose he said of the United States if you strike somewhere, you have to expect the repercussions somewhere else in a different form in a way that you dont expect. He brought up 9 11 as an example of the kind of thing america did not expect. Do you take that as a threat . Well, i mean i think it was intended as a threat. I dont take it as a credible threat in the sense that mr. Assad doesnt have the capacity to strike us in a significant way. Our embassies in the region u. S. Personnel in the region theyre always potentially vulnerable to asymmetrical attacks, but the truth of the matter is those threats already exist from a whole range of groups. And we understand what those threats are and take those precautions very seriously. When you hear the president talk about an asymmetrical threat thats eventually pentagon talk for a terrorist threat. So the president tonight will be speaking to the nation at 9 00 eastern time. Of course well be carrying that for you here on cbs news. The idea is he hopes to be able to sway the American People and the 500 or so people who work under this dome behind me that it is appropriate to continue the military pressure. He believes that only with the threat of a military strike will this idea of syria destroying its chemical weapons actually be fulfilled. Charlie . Scott my impression is having talked with the president , that you sensed that he knows he has a very hard sell. The country seems to be divided over this. And the idea of some kind of compromise would give him and the syrians a way out. Absolutely. An off ramp, if you will. I mean certainly the president was looking for Something Like that. The president has been trying to sell this charlie, as you know for the last several days and from the head count that we have on capitol hill hes only been losing ground. For example, yesterday, three senators came out against this. Only one senator came out for it. So the president realizes that this is not something that the American People are interested in pursuing not something that congress is very excited about at least in terms of the military option. The president told us that even in his own household there wasnt a lot of support for the military option. But the president believes that the threat of military action is the thing that caused this diplomatic i want to say breakthrough, but we really dont know that its a breakthrough yet because we dont know what the details are, but this diplomatic option to suddenly come forward. And the president is going to ask his secretary of state to get with the russians and try to nail down the details on what he hopes will be a deal. Scott pelley thank you. It was interesting, charlie, as the president said to scott, even in his own household, that there is disagreement. The president in another interview also mentioned Michelle Obama essentially is opposed to military engagement. Striking. It is the top where did this proposal come from scott . We may have covered that but this idea that it has given such life to this. Well, charlie, you know, major garrett, our chief white house correspondent, was talking to his sources at the white house yesterday. And major told us that this idea came up from the russian president , vladimir putin, in a discussion that president putin and president obama had last week at the g20 economic summit which was in st. Petersburg russia. So apparently the president has known about this for several days. The world didnt know about it until our Margaret Brennan asked her question of the secretary of state yesterday. Thanks, scott. Thanks, scott. The president also indicated they talked about this a year ago too in a los cabos summit. Scott will bring you live coverage of president obamas address to the nation tonight at 6 00 p. M. On cbs. Senator john mccain is a longtime supporter of military intervention in syria. He joins us from capitol hill. Senator, good morning. Good morning, charlie. What do you make about all the news about some compromise put forward by the russians and the state department that might forbid a military strike . Well, i have a couple of thoughts charlie. One is that perhaps this would not have come about if it hadnt been for the threat of the military strike so there is some credibility to that course of action. But second of all, im very skeptical, and we should be since Bashar Al Assad has refused to acknowledge that he even has chemical weapons. But i think the best test right away would be the syrian acceptance of international monitors to go to these chemical weapons sites and get them under control immediately, while the details of whatever disposal and other modalities are being considered and agreed upon. If hes serious, then let the monitors in there right away. We know where these chemical weapons sites are and get them under control immediately. And finally, some of us are already working on a modification to the congressional resolution that would require strict time lines and strict guidelines that would have to be met as part of the authorization for the president. And have no doubt that the numbers that you just saw are because of an incoherence about the message as to exactly what the United States is trying to do in syria. When the secretary of state says that a strike would be quote, unbelievably small then what does that mean . And, again, i still strongly believe that the only way Bashar Al Assad leaves power is if theres momentum change which leads to negotiations and his departure. Senator mccain, i read through and watched all the interviews that the president did yesterday. And i was struck that as the president is trying to sell the case for a military air strike he repeatedly talked about how that is not one of his top options. He prefers a diplomatic option. He said i continue to believe there is not a military solution to the underlying conflict which is in part sectarian. Do you believe this new russian syrian deal will delay a strike . I think obviously it has to now norah, as far as congress is concerned, because we have to see how this plays out. Again, put me down as extremely skeptical. But he could not pursue this option would be a mistake. But, you know, again, 100,000 people have been massacred, a million children are refugees this is spreading into a regional conflict high school jeopardizing syria, lebanon, iraq is turning into a killing field for al qaeda and others and so we must in my view continue our effort to support those who are seeking to unseat negotiate the withdrawal departure of Bashar Al Assad. Senator john mccain, thank you very much. Time for this mornings headlines.

An austin texas, woman with cancer hopes twitter can help save her life. Its part of her way of pressuring a Pharmaceutical Company into giving her an experimental drug. Anna werner looks at the battle. Looking good. Reporter 45yearold andrea sloan is fighting a sevenyear battle against Ovarian Cancer and losing. Ive had several rounds of traditional chemotherapy. Ive had two full rounds of radiation. Ive had five major surgeries. Reporter all of them in seven years . Yes. Reporter now sloans oncologist, dr. Charles levenback said she needs something new. He thinks her chances for survival is an environmental drug called bmn 673 made by biomarin pharmaceutical. Andrea needs that it get her back from the relapses. Thats why its so compelling to find her something novel thats different from what she had before. Reporter the problem, sloan cant get into a Clinical Trial for that drug. But the fda does offer another route for patients like sloan, something called compassionate use. Which allows Drug Companies to offer experimental drugs outside of Clinical Trials for desperate patients. This offers new hope for you . Awe amazing hope yes. Reporter the company said no. In an email to sloan chief medical officer henry fuchs wrote despite the companiess promising results we do not know whether it would and in whom it works. John and mary are andreas parents. I dont understand why. It makes a mockery in my view in a statement that there is such as thing as compassionate use of drugs. Reporter biomarin declined our request for an oncamera interview. In a statement, it said its focus is on doing the greatest good for the great of the number of patients. And although it does support kags knit use, the company says its too early to know if the experimental therapy is safe or effective or will even prolong life. Dr. Levenback said biomarin response is one he hears all too often. I cannot recall in the past ten years a patient who got compassionate use as a drug. Reporter not one patient in ten years . I cant recall it. I also havent had a patient, as outspoken as there is determined to make a difference as andrea sloan either. Reporter sloans Twitter Campaign has gotten the attention of people like wynonna judd and newt gingrich. Her petition on change. Org has collected more than 30,000 signatures. At the end of my life i just want it to be said that i took the course i was given. I found joy in every one. And when it got really tough, i just held my head up and i kept my hope. And i just inspired people to never give up. Reporter for cbs this morning, ana werner dallas. Its one of those times where you say if everybody lays their cards on the table is there a way to allow this person if they understand the risk all of that, that they can somehow have one chance. I know andrea sloan is fighting for a life. And shes fighting for a way to save her life. And do it with dignity as she said. We turn now to new trouble for George Zimmerman. The former Neighborhood Watch volunteer acquitted in the shooting death of trayvon martin. Well, hes had another runin with police. In a dramatic 911 call zimmermans estranged wife told a dispatcher that her husband threatened her with a gun. Later, investigators say she told them she never saw the gun and shes now not pressing charges. Mark strassmann is in lake mary florida. Mark, good morning. Reporter good morning. Its not clear whether George Zimmerman was actually armed when he went to see her parents home yesterday. When Shellie Zimmerman dialed 911, is he certainly made it sound like she was afraid for her life. I dont know what hes capable of. Reporter Shellie Zimmerman sobbing told a 911 dispatcher that George Zimmerman seen here had attacked her father and was armed with a gun. He continually has his hand on his gun and he keeps saying step closer. Step closer what . And hes going to shoot us. Dad, get inside the house. Reporter she also claims that zimmerman punched her father in the nose. It could be broken. If we could have an ambulance come. Moments later, she broken down. Okay correct . Yes. She said that she was being threatened with a hand gun. And it was threatened behavior. Reporter she later claims she never actually saw the gun. George zimmermans lawyer mark omara said the weapon was hole sistered and under zimmermans shirt the whole time. He absolutely was not threatening with any firearm. I know on the 911 they were saying one thing. Reporter this happened less than two miles from the city of sanford, where less than two month as George Zimmerman was acquitted of murder. Since then hes been pulled over twice for speeding. Omeara said the stress of the trial has taken a toll. Its a tragedy what happened that night and a tragedy ever since. That tragedy is now playing out in the marriage. Reporter George Zimmerman was involved in an incident of Domestic Violence once before in 2005 with a former fiancee who filed restraining orders against each other. Police are still investigating yesterdays confrontation. But charlie and norah, again, so far, no charges. Mark strassmann thank you. And 200,000.

Like warfarin xarelto® is proven effective to reduce afibrelated stroke risk. But xarelto® is the first and only onceaday prescription blood thinner for patients with afib not caused by a heart valve problem. That doesnt require routine blood monitoring. So jims not tied to that monitoring routine. [ gps ] proceed to the designated route. Not today. [ male announcer ] for patients currently well managed on warfarin there is limited information on how xarelto® and warfarin compare in reducing the risk of stroke. Xarelto® is just one pill a day taken with the evening meal. Plus, with no known dietary restrictions jim can eat the Healthy Foods he likes. Do not stop taking xarelto® rivaroxaban, without talking to the doctor who prescribes it as this may increase the risk of having a stroke. Get help right away if you develop any symptoms like bleeding unusual bruising or tingling. You may have a higher risk of bleeding if you take xarelto® with aspirin products, nsaids or blood thinners. Talk to your doctor before taking xarelto® if you have abnormal bleeding. Xarelto® can cause bleeding, which can be serious and rarely may lead to death. You are likely to bruise more easily on xarelto® and it may take longer for bleeding to stop. Tell your doctors you are taking xarelto® before any planned medical or dental procedures. Before starting xarelto® tell your doctor about any conditions such as kidney, liver or bleeding problems. Xarelto® is not for patients with artificial heart valves. Jim changed his routine. Ask your doctor about xarelto®.

Now they are trying to determine what started the fire. Stay with us, traffic and weather in just a moment. Good morning. We have a series of problems in the east bay. A Traffic Alert westbound 580 by strobridge backing up to the y. Southbound 880 was a mess from san leandro towards union city. We had three separate multi vehicle crashes. Everything is cleared but look at this the backups extend into oakland now. This is a live look at the oakland coliseum. So we are seeing our usual northbound delays but that southbound backup is due to all those crashes continuing like i said down past the union city exit. That is traffic. For your latest forecast, heres lawrence. Delays at sfo because of the cloud cover up to an hour on arriving flights. Lets get youout there right now just some patchy fog in toward the san jose area. Looking good toward the afternoon. We are going to see a whole lot of sunshine.

Temperatures by the afternoon still some 80s maybe some 90s well inland. 70s and 80s around the bay and 60s at the coast. Cooler tomorrow then warming back up on thursday. Good morning charlie. Good morning, gail. Its 00 a. M. In the morning. Welcome back to cbs this morning. Syrias foreign minister says his country will accept russias offer to hand over its chemical weapons. There are many questions this morning. We veal more of charlies exclusive interview with Bashar Al Assad. Neighbors in one area of wine known for grapes feel like theyre the ones getting crushed. Last nights u. S. Open did not disappointment. Rafael nadal talks about his rally to beat i dont vac djokovic. Syrias foreign minister says theyll access russias proposal. Theres still no detailed plan. Would you give up chemical weapons if it would prevent the president from authorizing a strike . The president of course was showing a great deal of skepticism. He says this has to be verifiable. It has to be enforceable. The best test would be the syrian acceptance of international monitors to go to these chemical weapon sites immediately. An experimental drug could save her life but drugmaker wont give it to her. Id like to understand why. I dont understand. Its her last hope. Its unclear whether George Zimmerman was actually armed when he went to see his wife at his parents home. I dont know what hes capable of. Im really really scared. Princeton number one. Princeton edged out harvard. An epic finish at the u. S. Open. Nadal took home the trophy. The president realizes this is not something the American People are interested in pursuing. Americans are afraid of longterm involvement. Like george clooney, he doesnt want it either. Im charlie rose with gayle king and norah odonnell. Potentially major developments coming out of syria. The countrys foreign minister says his country will accept the russian proposal to put chemical weapons on international control. White house correspondent jay carney adds, quote, this is not something you can simply take the assad regimes word for. It has to be followed up by direct and credible action. President obama speaks to the nation tonight at 6 00 pacific time. A new poll finds 69 of americans say the president should not proceed with strikes on syria if Congress Says no. Only 25 say he should. Among democrats, 64 are against military action. That number rises to 74 among republicans. Nancy cordes is on capitol hill this morning. Nancy, good morning. Reporter good morning, gayle, norah, and charlie. Members of congress are very intrigued by this idea of syria handing over chemical weapons. They see it as a way out of a risky and unpopular military endeavor. There were some senators who said, look this is the sign that just the threat of a military strike is working, all the more reason for members of congress to vote yes on this resolution. So far most of their colleagues dont appear to be listening to them. Take a look at the latest numbers. As of yesterday, there was one senator who told us they were going to vote yes. There were six senators who said they were going to vote no. And one of those was originally a yes who changed their vote. As it stands this morning, there are 23 senators in the yes column, 23 in the no column. Its tied. Now, the original plan was for the senate to vote tomorrow but Senate Leader harry reid announced last night he is going to hold off on scheduling that vote. He says he wants to wait to see where things stand after Senate Democrats and Senate Republicans meet with the president for lunch in a couple of hours here on capitol hill and after they hear what he has to say in his televised address. And there are many members who want to postpone things a day or two any way to see how things shake out with this syrian offer to turn over its chemical weapons. If they dont have to take a vote at all, many of them would welcome it. Its a very difficult vote with many of their constituents opposed. Norah, Charlie Gayle . Extraordinary. We hear the president after sort of receiving the idea in my conversation that he might be acceptak accepted it has a life of it own. They have tactically acknowledged that they do have chemical weapons since they will be willing to turn them over. Theres thoughtful analysis in the papers today actually verifying and getting these chemical weapons is a lengthy, prolonged process. I bet thats why the president tonight might say thats why i need this authority from congress. It was interesting in the interview he kept denying they dont have chemical weapons. He didnt deny. He said hed neither confirm or deny. In 1982 syrias president assad, the father of the current president , ruled the country for three decades. Its estimated anywhere from 10,000 to 40,000 people were killed in the monthlong siege. On sunday i asked Bashar Al Assad about his fathers influence on whats happening today. You and i talked about this today. We remember hama and your father. He ruthlessly set out to eliminate the muslim brotherhood. Are you simply being your fathers son here . I dont know what you mean by ruthless because you know what happened by hama. Ive never heard about soft war. Have you heard of soft war . Any war is ruthless. When you fight terrorists you fight like any other war. The lessons you have here are the lessons you learned from your father what he did in hama, which it is said influenced you greatly. Said what . Sorry . It is said that what you father did at hama influenced you greatly in terms of your understanding of what you have to do. The question what would you do as american if the terrorist invading your country from different areas and started killing tens of thousands. You keep saying hes a terrorist. In fact it is a popular revolution people believe against you that was part of the arab spring that was influence bid the other countries. Revolution should be syrian. It cant be a resolution from abroad. It started here. Those people that started here, they support the government. Thats what you dont know. You dont know as american you dont know as reporter. Thats why talking about what happened at the very beginning is completely different from whats happening now. Its not the same. Theres very high dynamic, things that are changing on daily basis. Completely different image. Those people that want the revolution, they are cooperating with us. Im asking you again, is it in fact you being your fathers son and you believe the only way to drive out people is to eliminate them to same way your father did . In being independent, yes. In fighting terrorism, yes. In defending the Syrian People and the country, yes. And his father killed tens of thousands of people with gas. Exactly. Given the ruthlessness of this regime why should we believe syrias foreign minister when they say theyre willing to surrender control of chemical weapons. Back to the point you raised. It would be with u. N. Inspectors which prove to be very difficult in iraq as you obviously know. So at some point its trust but verify as reagan used to say. It was fascinating and frightening to watch the two of you together. He went toe to toe with you at every step. All day long yesterday people kept stopping me on the street asking me how did charlie rose get that interview. And other than i am charlie rose, i wasnt sure what answer was. How did it happen . How did it come together . Very quickly, i hear. Indeed. We didnt finally get it done until literally days before. It took place because i had asked for an interview. We had talked with jeff hague, the chairman of cbs and executive producer about the possibility of doing this. Then it seemed to be going nowhere because of different hangups. Then because of the pbs program, we said why dont we give you an unedited interview, which is the same thing i did with the president of the United States. That appealed to them. Once we got there, willing to they didnt make any effort to change content. They didnt have any interest. There was nothing off the record. They didnt have any sense of saying you cant go here cant talk about here. None. It was the president this is going to be a very tough interview. They said the president would like for you to be that way. They said he was so calm and composed on camera. Everyone kept saying he seems, dare i say normal he seems very in control, very calm. What was he like off camera . Same way. Absolute. How did you get into damascus . Its not easy to get there. First of all, you cant fly in. Every time evidence been there before, i have flown in. We flew to beirut. The cbs News Organization was enormously helpful because they have people on the ground in damascus and beirut. They make these trips back and forth. We flew into beirut jeff bayer, paul needham and me. We drove into one check point after another, got to the border and we met on the other side, got our visas and drove into damascus. One hour later we were talking with officials of the Syrian Government. Were you wearing bulletproof vests . We had them but we werent wearing them. You had satellite phones . It took forever for them to examine the satellite phones. Finally we had to leave them and pick them up on the way back. We didnt have armed guard, all those kinds of things. I think its important to point out, not only the difficulty in getting into damascus. There are no american journalists in syria except for Elizabeth Palmer in terms of reporting whats really going on there is difficult. We were making that case as hard as we could, that they needed to do more of that and especially for cbs colleagues who were there now. I have to say it was one of those days yesterday where you go, i work with charlie rose yes, i do. In 37 career tche in 37 car rhee matches, rafael nadal and know vic djokovic created one of the top rivalries in all of sports. They had quite a battle last night at the u. S. Open.

One of the best known hotel brands is teaming up with the man who pioneered the boutique hotels. Ian schrager is teaming up with the marriott. Youre seeing first on cbs this morning. With us now the aforementioned ian schrager and marriott ceo Arne Sorenson. Welcome. Whats it all about between these genius and Large International hotel chain . I think its a marriage of extraordinary skills. Ian brings this keen eye for special boutique experience around design. He can describe it better than i can. So ill let him do that. Its a place where hes what does marriott bring . Marriott brings real discipline around service. Skashlgs the power of reservations systems. World service. And culture. You put that culture with what ian brings we can have it all. Tell us what you think a great hotel ought to do . Elevate an experience. Make you special. Make you feel great. In visible design. How do we do that . How do we build special . Its a type of alchemy by announcing the details, you walk about and you feel special about it. You get a feeling when you walk into the lobby of a hotel where you go i want to stay here. I wonder how this actually started because years ago ian schrager, you said the Marriott Hotels is like the walmart of hotels. When you compare it to walmart no matter what you think of the brand, you have to respect it. Do you feel differently about marriott . You must. I do. Ive learned their expertise and their execution with creativity its kind of one plus one makes three. Its incredibly exciting. You never think of marriott as trendy and hip. You, ian, are considered very hip and trendy. How do you mold it together . Arne sorenson was leading this company and evolving with popular changes that i think a Great Company has to do. What about that arne to gayles question how much did marriott need to enhance the experience in a hotel . And how many hotels will you do this in . We looked at this space for years, maybe a decade in wondering whether or not this was a substantial space in the industry. Or whether this was a niche area that we needed to Pay Attention to. We decided, of course we knew ian for about a decade before we started looking into this. What we saw was an element of every customers demands. So edition will be the most extreme for us. Whether you look at the ritzcarlton ritzcarlton, everybody is looking for a richer experience than 10 or 15 years ago because they can have a richer experience. Most People Choose marriott because its affordable. And you have a range all the way to ritzcarlton. Edition is going to be Luxury Hotels but theyre going to be Luxury Hotels that offer both extraordinary design and great service. Thats one of the weaknesses we saw in this space. Was too often for great design you had to compromise service. A great lobby but were you all picking out fabric swatches and colors . Did you say i want a certain color scheme and a certain look. Fabric is very important, ian, you know exactly what i mean . You know its not really about the price. Its about the value. The experience you that want thats what set us apart from every hotel out there. And the look that youre going for. Thats why im hung up about the fabrics. I do think the look creates a certain feel. What was the look you were going for . We wanted a no look. Invisible design. We wanted something really really simple, when you walked in you felt really great and it wasnt so precious and it wasnt what will i call design on steroids. Two questions, one is where do you find the ideas . I mean want to create an experience. Where do you find it . Do you travel . Do you go everywhere you can . What is it that gives you i osmosis basically this on the street, charlie, all the ideas are out on the street in a very kind of raw way. And you kind of have to grab on to something that other people dont see and interpret it. And does it necessarily have to be that more expensive to be that more creative and more interesting and exponential . Absolutely not. The three that were doing on our balance sheet, the editions miami, new york, and london. Theyre all very expensive real estate markets. They also benefit from being great hotel markets. Cant wait. Cant wait for the new york. Ian schrager Arne Sorenson great to have you both here. Thank you so much. Good looking tie, too. Gloria estefan and her husband emilio are in our toyota green room this morning. Good morning.

Gloria and emilio join us at the table. Emilio emilio, you couldnt help yourself, the music is on and youre its 35 years. Its almost impossible to play that on the radio. Now we hear a whole different sound and were so excited about that. And a lot of hair in that video. Talk about a different shot i go to california i listened to it up i listened to it back. Your voice is so perfect for that type of music. You say its full circle for you . It is its full circle. A lot of people say its something that deviate from what i do but not really, my ballads came to being, these standards, songs like this not only from cuba but Johnny Mathis sinatra, and gene autry, moonriver, its a wonderful world. Its truly my heart. You say this has been on the back burner for a long time . It has, when we first played conga on the tonight show with johnny carson. They asked us to do two. They said do you have something that people know well. I said well id like to do good morning heartache. It was great. I sat at the piano with shelli berg who played piano. Hes the dean of my alma matta. He asked me to sit in as a trustee for the people. And i said what about good morning heart. Do you know that one. He transformed the idea. How long have you two been together . Well weve been together 35 . Marriage. She makes the whole decision on her career. I make my own decision. Of course, we consult each other. I think its communication and respect and love. I think its very difficult to work with your wife. I can imagine. 35 years. We love each other. Listen youve been dating gloria since you were 17. He was my first and only. The only man shes ever been with. The first time i heard that i went really . Listen you never know anybody else. You dont know. But at one point, how do you lose the husband part how do you navigate the manager part and the husband part . Because sometimes, those overlap and theyre not always in sync. It took a while. Youre right theyre not always in sync. Hes got a good commercial mind and an ear for what people love. He works very much along those lines. Especially in the beginning when theyd offer me all this money do an endorsement for a product. And i didnt particularly like the product. Id say to him, hmm, im not going to do it. He said id eat the can for a quarter of the money theyre giving me. And now the estefans are grandparents too. How cool is that. Our son nayeb had a baby 14 months old, they lived 3,000 miles away in l. A. For a long time but now theyre back. And playing music in cuba whats going on there . Well you know a lot of great music for years and years. The thing sometimes when you live in a communist country, you cannot sing or write whatever you want. In that country its very much freedom of expression. Theres a lot of rappers that are breaking ground there and theyre kind of bucking the system and theyre getting a lot of following from cubans. If you really dont toe the political line there you have no chance of being played on public which they own all the stations. Its tough. It was shut down for a long time. Even when they did baena vista, that social album. It was the glories of the old cuban music and nobody knew about them. Tough. Wow, still making it happen after all these years. Thank you so much. Congratulations to you guys. Thank you. The standard goes on sale today. With this years u. S. Open in the history books well show you how its former home is finding a future. That story is next.
