back at their hotels after spending another day interviewing survivors and collecting samples. they ll be coming home on saturday raising speculation that a strike might be on hold until after they re safely out of damascus. when it comes to who s with us, our major ally with us in this, british prime minister david cameron, who s facing his own resistance, but others say they won t join in the strike without u.n. support. as we suspect, that won t happen since russia holds veto power on the u.n. security council. russia is a big assad supporter. assad s other ally is iran which is vowing to strike israel. as a precaution, they re calling to issue gas masks. turkey is constructing bunkers and they re sending experts to the syrian border. because there are so many parts,
we re looking at this in three sections. first, we re looking a the the pentagon, what s going on behind closed doors at the white house and finally the role of congress in all of this. they re being briefed tonigh
happened. it seems dubious that the russian military, in other words, would want to take down a major passenger plane. certainly with not the intent of taking it down. again, we simply don t know who brought this down. i m also here with lieu dtenant colonel rick francona. just in terms of kants, we have not seen separatists heretofor, they have brought down at least one transport plane, but they were not flying at 33,000 feet. yeah, this would require, as we were talking about, a more sophisticated system. talking about, you know, hitting it inadvertently, it would be very difficult for that to happen. generally once you re locked onto the target, it goes to that target. and if it veers off that target and is no longer being guided, they self-destruct. but when you re targeting a plane at that altitude, are you
clear on exactly what kind of a plane it is? no, it s a return on your radar. right. it will be a certain size, you can estimate the size of the aircraft. you ma

jason carroll, thanks so much. donald trump did have a new policy proposal. term limits for members of congress. he s calling for a constitutional amendment. it would take a constitutional amendment that would restrict members to six years of service, senators, 12 years. on monday, they proposed an ethics on when the executive branch leave office. cnn has learned new details about donald trump s preparation for the final debate. a source tells us that rnc chair reince priebus played the moderators with new jersey governor chris christie playing hillary clinton. this is a bit of a change doing mock scenarios. we had been told in the first debate, he did not do this. did not want to do this, apparently coming in nor prepared. hillary clinton, she s been off the campaign trail for several days, raising money and preparing for tonight s debate. in the very first debate she
seemed to be trying to bait trump. at 9:00 p.m. eastern, she is expected to employ a different strategy, accord
months, they can t have a replacement. the democrats are very happy in some ways they are going to get rid of obamacare. this was the one big answer paul: politically. this was one big answer, a new solution that was going to be revolutionary and change things for the better. didn t work. they are happy. we had it for six years. they re happy to dump it off. i m more optimistic, there are a lot of pitfalls, we can go through them, if we have momentum, get one part down on the replace part, it creates the conditions for further things down the road. so i think that the main thing is that they need to show momentum. they have the repeal and show good things being done. because our goal is not, the problem is, obamacare is like, closing down a nuclear plant. there is all this waste. you can t turn it off and walk away. you have to be careful with that waste because it can kill you in the meantime. so i think they just have to have the momentum. paul: the argument is, that you hear
to the nuclear nonproliferation treaty the language that was in there about acquire some people quibble over, but their commitment to the npt was clear and i misspoke in that regard. thank you. i appreciate your comment in response to questions from senator markly and others about keeping a seat at the table through the paris agreement and the general approach that suggests. i believe climate change is a major concern for us in the long term and the short term, and that it s human caused and there are actions we can and should take in response to it as a trained chemist, i respect your training as an engineer, would urge you to be a tttentive to t science because i think it is overwhelming to this point. i do think the jpoa structure, p 5 plus 1 that brought it into force and is enforcing it and the paris climate agreement are two examples of tables where we should have a seat at the table and be advocates and be driving
it. i want to ask you about one other table that was liter
of an at-risk high school. three victims so far. the suspect or suspects still at large. the school there is on lockdown. we ll hand it over to jake tapper with more of this coverage. jake? welcome to the lead. i m jake tapper. you re looking at live pictures from kptv in portland, oregon. we re beginning today with breaking news in our national lead. you re looking right now at live pictures, as i said, about a school shooting in north portland at rosemary anderson high school, where at least three victims have been shot, three people shot according to the fire department. it is unknown if the people shot are dead or alive. portland police say the suspects have fled. they would not say if they were still believed to be armed or if
they clashed with police. nearby jefferson high school and portland community college in lockdown, we re told. media have been told to set up at north killingsworth street and kirby avenue. that s the staging area. we ll update more on that story as s
we need to slow down and get it right. like mom used to say, you rush and you make mistakes. democrats are going to continue in their head-long rush to pass a government takeover of health care. from where i stand and frankly many republican senators stand who are troubled by the pace is of concern. we should have had more time to digest it. i guess history has a funny way of repeating itself. what a difference eight years doesn t make. republicans today sounding a lot like republicans back in 2009 on health care reform. only this time, they are battling themselves. can president trump and house speaker paul ryan bring their own party on board? this as one new report says at least 15 million people, joe, will lose their health care coverage under the new gop plan. this morning, we are going to speak live with the u.s. secretary of health and human services dr. tom price.

worldwide. in his first speech abroad he urged them to purge their communities of, quote, the foot soldiers of evil. the man who campaigned heavily on a proposed muslim ban today asked islamic leaders in the middle east to unite with america in the global fight against terrorism. let s get out to nick robinson in the saudi capital where president trump gave that speech today. nick. reporter: ana, part of president trump s message seemed to be to alleviate the concerns of those in the room that under president obama they lost the support of the united states. he said our friends never need to question our support, a reassuring message for those in the room, but he had a tone that was designed, if you will, draw the audience in. he said, i m not here to tell you how to live your lives, that we have common values, and through those common values we can find common security. he also said that what s

incredibly sobering piece, anybody could be subject to retribution. don t forget, you can watch outfront, any time any where, just go to cnn go. acc 360 with anderson cooper begins right now. good evening, thank you for joining us, a busy day at the white house, the president announcing his tax plan but what will it mean for you and who will pay for it? and about the president s unusual statement that he s looking at options to break up the appeals court where judges have blocked some of his kb executive action. but we begin with a meeting at the white house that was so unusual that not even president trump all but summoned them there for a briefing on the increasing tensions with north korea. some said on leaving that they thought it was just a photo op
for the white house. just today north korea conducted an artillery drill, designed to annihilate the u.s. imperialists bases of aggression, their termology. what more are you learning about this briefing at the white house?
