As heartbroken as we were, there is an acceptance there. no question about it. if ronald reagan were alive, he wouldnt let this go quietly. i dont think donald trump should either. >> i have to leave it there. thank you very much. i appreciate it. next, were focusing closely on the horror in syria. evacuations postponed for thousands of desperate civilians trapped in the syrian city of aleppo. we have a live report ahead. this holiday, the real gift isnt whats inside the box... its whats insid...

But a place thats been decimated by air strikes. and it is worth noting it is actually people on both sides that are starving. i mean, one of the reasons why this evacuation plan didnt go ahead today was because it was supposed to be a swap. there was a couple of towns that have been under a rebel siege. the civilians in those towns were supposed to be released as part of this agreement. they werent released because the busses that were sent to collect them were set on fire. unfortunately, as th...

This is why the evacuation mission to get families and children out of aleppo is called off again. it is too dangerous, authorities say. in fact, somebody set a few of these evacuation busses today on fire. that means many people will be forced to sleep on the streets or in bombed out buildings or freezing for yet another night. syrian troops almost completely have retaken aleppo after four years of rebel control. but the civilians who once found safe haven there are caught in the middle of the ...

Finally some much needed relief for tens of thousands of families and children in the city of aleppo. a safe way out. these green buses and ambulance vans today were allowed to carry people out of aleppo where shooting and shelling and air strikes make it simply too dangerous for people who are not fighting the civil war. take a look at some these pictures. we have some aerials that were taken just this morning. they show not only long lines of evacuation buses but the near complete destruction ...

>> fred pleitgen joins us now. hes reporting from inside aleppo throughout the syrian civil war. joins us from beirut, lebanon. the cease-fire seems to be back on. what happens next and can it actually succeed this time? >> reporter: yeah, you know, thats going to be the big question, anderson. were going to see that in the next couple of hours because about three hours from now is when buses are supposed to pull out to that rebel enclave that still exists in aleppo and supposed to bring the fir...

And colleague inside aleppo who said all day theres been very heavy shelling. that has continued tonight with explosives lighting up the night sky. its a terrible betrayal of the people inside eastern aleppo. the u.n. says there was about 50,000 of those in an area probably one square mile. were still not sure how big it is and how many people are in there, but yesterday we saw some of them, bedraggled, leaving in terrible conditions, leaving the slaughter. we did think more would join them, but...

Civilians, still trapped in there. this afternoon we saw really terrible things as buildings were being hit with artillery. couldnt tell you what the buildings were. they looked like apartments, wolf. but we also saw really bright burning material over to my left, which looked like it could be something like phosphorous. no way to confirm that, but clearly, all of this would be profoundly in contravention of the norms of wore, the geneva convention and lots of other international law besides. wh...

The rebels and the pro-government fighters, was aimed to get the families, these women and children, away from the fighting but now were getting reports of new shelling leaving an estimated 50,000 people trapped in a war zone. many pleading with the world to help them. let me show you the latest tweet from a mother of that seven-year-old girl in aleppo named bana al abed. she and her family have been documenting their struggle just to survive. the mother writes "dear world, theres intense bombin...

Bob gates and condoleezza rice have said positive things. they are paid consultants. when a guy like jeb bush supports tillerson, some people are saying, wait. lets hold on. maybe hes a strategic guy. things arent working at this moment. you have 100 children buried under rubble in syria, in aleppo and assad is backed by russia. maybe some people could say -- >> oh, yeah, there will be more kids buried under rubble in aleppo because tillerson is a part of this global view, trump administration. ...

Thicke who died suddenly yesterday at age 69. he was known as the father, doctor seever in growing pains. and later this hour, we will take a look back at the and career of alan thicke and how television changed over the years. plans to evacuate thousands of people are on hold after bombings and gunfire resumed, breaking a ceasefire to allow citizens to flee. we have the latest from the ground in aleppo. >> aleppo thought this would be the day peace prevailed, but it was shattered in the most br...
