Page 4 - Won Aleppo News Today

Facilities, no resources, no food, no medicine. how do these people live and survive? >> well, at the moment i think their very survival, brooke, is hanging in the balance because what were seeing now is rockets essentially raining down on aleppo, on that small part of eastern aleppo that is still under rebel-held control and as you said its an estimated 50,000 people inside that area, its difficult to know, frankly, it doesnt matter exactly how many there are. there are thousands of people. the...

Neighborhoods? >> reporter: its an awful situation for the civilians there in aleppo. youre absolutely right, this could be the final hours of the rebels having a foothold in aleppo. you know, even by the standards, the horrible standards, of the syrian civil war, the amount of firepower that was unleashed on aleppo the past couple of days was probably more intense than anything that weve seen in the past five years. of course, you have these civilians that were trapped there in the middle. and ...

Aleppo. we know aleppo could fall at any moment. >> this desensitization to the suffering and the images that are coming out and i, as a journalist, do not know how to present the story any more. in a way that is going to make people care. because the most drastic of images are out there. children lying on a beach dead because they drowned. we have children shell shocked inside buildings. we have image upon image of suffering and devastation. what do we do as journalists at this point in history...

>> who won that? >> but we know that people watch the u.s. election like no other election around the world right now. what is the view of the united states right now? what is the view of the future? >> first of all, people are more interested in u.s. politics as the leader of the free world, the u.s. is always sort of the center of interest. particularly with this election i think it took on a whole new life. whether i was in aleppo with syrian rebels and whether i was in france or egypt or afr...

That sunni muslims have that they are being oppressed backed by the russians and iranians, but also by the west. as long as you have that strong sense that sunni muslims feel they are oppressed and they feel they are marginalized youll continue to see this pattern repeating it itself over and over again. another thing to consider that the caliphate is moving into a virtual territory right now. there is a virtual caliphate. >> you have been watching these people go from syria to greece to france ...

Constitution. its still an issue today. >> well see what congressman jason chaffetz does with your letter and your plea to him to investigate some of this stuff. congressman boyle, thank you so much for being on "new day." >> thank you, alisyn. a grave humanitarian crisis is unfolding in syria. aleppo is turning into one giant graveyard. up next, well speak with cnn senior correspondent just terrific reporters who have been in the war-ravaged country. well talk to them about what they have see...

But were seeing a moment where potentially tens of thousands of people could be losing their lives and its hard to i think bring the global focus to it. >> and never again, never again, never again after rwanda. i think that aleppo promises to be the greatest stain on president obamas legacy. he has said himself that it keeps him up at night. he has many gray hairs because of it. >> and on our legacy, too. humanity. we said never again and yet we have allowed ourselves to lose our moral compass,...

That new leadership. we are going to have a new head of the party. i think thats extremely important. i think we need to bring up some new leaders in the senate, too. the democratic party, we have to really reach out to the next generation of leaders and start at the state legislative level which has been ignored. thats why we get this redistricting and thats why it was so difficult to take control of the house back. >> i have to leave it there. bill press, hilary rosen, thanks as always. stil...

Already have invested more in border security along our southern border. we tripled the amount of money were spending. in fact, we spent more money on enforcing that southern border than we do on all other federal law enforcement combined. to me its a mystery why, as conservatives, we would want to throw more money at it, and build walls, when there is a better way to deal with immigration. >> well lets talk about that, what you just said. as a conservative the conundrum you find yourself in bec...

Not on aleppo, on iraq and whats happening in mosul, and you know the whole foreign policy threat that i think he poses. he is somebody who doesnt know very much about foreign policy. hes somebody who sort of shoots from the hip, which is extremely dangerous in this environment. so i really cannot vote for him. it looks, according to the polls, like hillary clinton is going to win easily. i was in colorado, which is a swing state, and it does not look like donald trump has a chance here. so i do...
