On Assad News Today

This coming as President Trump does appear to be going ut alone. Essentially acting as his own lead attorney. This was according to sources who say the president feels misled and no longer wants anyone else in charge. It is a decision with massive implications, given the fact President Trumps personal lawyer and ficker of a dozen years is under investigation and his documents have been seized by federal prosecutors. That means the president , who does not have a law degree, is trying essentially...

Grateful to have you this morning. you recently wrote on twitter you believe vladimir putin will continue to escalate attacks on ukraine, possibly using chemical weapons, even weapons of mass destruction. im wondering what that assessment is based on? intelligence youve been briefed on? >> boris, obviously, i cant get into the details of intelligence but i can tell you its a real concern, and this is a long -- russia has a long histories of escalating to that point. i think weve seen it in syria...

Can we ever get enough of Muhammad Ali? No! And so, another documentary about him is automatically good news on some level.

Look at what russia did and unite the country around hardening the ballot box. >> just having everyone this question to understand here. he was willing to do strikes, okay, against syria. and assad backed by the russians. he was willing to drop bombs on them. on assad in russia. against, against what russia wanted, right? and they were going to go have the sanctions. he said this himself when he addressed the country on friday night then changed his mind. willing to bomb, but not do >> he slough...

A lot is going on with regard to russia and how he wouldnt say an ill word about vladimir putin and said it wouldnt be bad to have a relationship with russia to now changing his position on putin, on assad, even on china as a currency manipulator. what do you make of the shift with the president? >> i believe that, one, hes perhaps learning on the job. i hope thats the case. >> are you encouraged by it? >> its not encouragement. lets put aside russia, the hallmark of this presidency has been lyi...

On assad. how do you understand how they will be interpreting, reacting to what may happen this evening in terms of american military strikes? >> well, so far the media and government officials have denied that there has been a chemical weapons attack. that doesnt mean they wont reverse that position. they do that often, but so far, they dont recognize that this has happened. number two, of course, there are russian military on the ground, so a very important concern for the trump administration...

That she doesnt ice the president out. if she hopes to become president she needs what is left of the obama coalition to get behind her. >> what she said contradicted that, talking about leading on the ground in syria, she said i dont think that the u.s. has the bulk of the responsibility. i put that on assad and iraqis and the region itself. she wants assad to lead? that puts her in direct conflict with the president. i would have said, when did you start to dramatically disagree with the presi...

governments brutal onslaught in homs, day five, where neighborhoods are now raging battlegrou battlegrounds. a doctor there said bodies began coming in before the sunrise and says everyone is waiting to die. an activist echoed that earlier on cnn. >> what keeps you going? >> we have no choice, no other choice. we are dying slightly, and we tried to save each other at least, i mean, to keep somebody alive. because we believe we are all going to die here. >> with the death toll rising by...

Would hold on to power. at the white house, president obama telephoned russian president vladimir putin. aides said the two agreed on the need to support a political transition as soon as possible. indeed, fox news has confirmed that senior u.s. officials are now bracing for the prospect of assad falling, or regime control of damascus collapsing on a much swifter timetable on previously contemplated. even one as short as 36 hours. >> this is a situation that is rapidly spinning out of control. f...
