I ordered a targeted military strike on the air field in syria for where the chemical attack was launched. Moscow calling the missile strikes a violation of international law. He acted under his authority as commander in chief to target a facility that was being used to gas and kill babies and children and he made the right choice. Stockholm, running through streets, storming Major Department stores. In a bid to confirm judge neil gorsuch to the Supreme Court, Mitch Mcconnell pushing the button on the socalled Nuclear Option. This is really the period to the end of a sentence. The United States senate is not what it once was. Severe weather slammed the eastern half of our country. Winds caused large trees and homes and knocked out power for thousands. Hillary clinton gave her first interview since the election. As a person, im okay. As an american, im pretty worried. Cant find the ball. It is stuck to his chest protector. I have never seen that before. Hoffman takes the masters by storm. That is is something special. All that matters. Funny thing about don rickles, the news that he Mediterranean Sea launched 59 missiles. They pounded an air base in western syria, first video in from the scene shows significant damage from the missile attacks. The president explained his decision late last night. Tonight i ordered a targeted military strike on the air field in syria from where the chemical attack was launched. Margaret brennan is with the president in florida. Holly williams is in turkey, but we begin with david martin, at the pentagon. Good morning. Reporter good morning. A u. S. Official says 58 of the 59 cruise missiles targeted at that Syrian Air Base hit their target. One suffered a failure of its gps Guidance System and the pentagon is still looking for where it landed. The base is no longer in operation. And the pentagon says there is no need for additional strikes unless syria uses chemical weapons again. Nearly 60 cruise missiles thundered toward a Syrian Air Base just three days after the regime used chemical weapons in an attack against its own people. Tomahawk land attack missiles launched from two destroyers, the uss porter and uss ross cat Mediterranean Sea. The strike targeted an air field believed to be the Takeoff Point of the plane that dropped the lethal gas on a syrian village killing and injuring hundreds. Video from russian and syrian state tv provided footage of the aftermath of the attack. The missiles hit aircraft, ammunition depos, air Defense Systems and air Traffic Control radars. The pentagon said the attack was successful and has rendered the air field unusable. Prior to 2013, the base located about 50 miles due south of the location of the gas attack had been used to store chemical weapons. But the u. S. Did not target areas where remaining weapons might be stored. The strike comes three and a half years after former president barack obama threatened military action against the assad regime. A red line for us is we start seeing a whole bunch of chemical weapons moving around for being utilized. Despite threatening air strikes we deter assad from using chemical weapons. Reporter president obama backed off after Bashar Al Assad promised to hand over his stockpile of chemical weapons. A promise this weeks attack indicates the dictator did not keep. The u. S. Gave russia advance warning of the strike and the missiles did not target any of the areas where the russians were believed to be living. Russias allies, syria, appears to have been caught by surprise and unable to scramble any of its jets before the missiles hit. David, thank you. The missile strike on syria marks a sudden shift by the Trump Administration. The president said for years that the u. S. Should not take military action against syrias government. And secretary of state Rex Tillerson said just last week that syrias people will decide the future of president assad. Margaret brennan is in palm beach, florida, where President Trump is meeting with chinas leader again today. Good morning. Reporter good morning. President trump has shown he is willing to use at least limited military action to enforce that red line against chemical weapons that was first drawn by his predecessor. The Trump Administration believes that Bashar Al Assad has used sarin gas in at least three attacks over the past two weeks. Assad choked out the lives of helpless men, women and children. Reporter in a late evening statement, President Trump said the images of small children choking to death on poison gas moved him to action. It was a slow and brutal death for so many. Even beautiful babies were cruelly murdered. Reporter the decision to strike was made after the president arrived thursday in palm beach for a summit with chinese president xi jinping. Mr. Trump consulted with h. R. Mcmaster and secretary mattis. Shortly after the meals, the strikes commenced. President , first publicly indicated he was considering action following wednesdays meeting with jordans king. The president worried that toxic agents could end up in the hands of terrorists and use that threat as justification for striking without the permission of congress. It is in this Vital National security interest of the United States to prevent and deter the spread and use of deadly chemical weapons. Reporter secretary of state Rex Tillerson said the sarin gas attacks were a clear violation of the 2013 diplomatic deal that russia and the u. S. Brokered to have syria hand over its chemical stockpile. He said after president obama had turned a blind eye to assads repeated violation, inaction in syria was not an option for President Trump. Previous attempts at changing assads behavior have all failed and failed very dramatically. Reporter the syria strike may help chinas president xi jinping to gauge mr. Trumps willingness to use force against Nuclear Armed north korea. The two leaders meet today, and next week secretary of state Rex Tillerson flies to moscow where he is expected to discuss syria with Vladimir Putin. Thank you very much, margaret. Syria and its closest allies are s are speaking out against the missile attacks. Reporter there are no surprises at all in the reaction of the Syrian Regime, and its ally russia. The syrian president Bashar Al Assad called the strikes on the air base an act of unjust and arrogant aggression today. Syria says it makes the u. S. A partner with isis and other terrorist groups. Russia claims the strikes violate international law, and it is suspending air space coordination with the u. S. In syria. Meaning an increased risk of u. S. And russian jets colliding. Now, remember, both the regime and russia have denied there was a chemical attack on the town on tuesday, despite all of the evidence we have seen emerging since then. Several American Allies including the united kingdom, turkey, jordan, saudi arabia, and israel support the strikes. We spoke with several syrian rebel groups overnight, very happy the u. S. Has taken military action against the Syrian Regime, because they hope it will do something to stop the regime from bombing them. Charlie . Thanks, holly. Republican senator marco rubio is with us from the capital. Good morning. Good morning, charlie. You said you support this policy. My question is, where does it go from here and what are the risks . Well, thats a great question. It is an important one. I think ultimately, i hope the moment has arrived, the white house and the administration and i believe this is the case. After the crimes hes committed against his own people, there will always be a radical element fighting against him until hes removed from power. And what are the risks . Well, i think the risks are an escalation, we dont know what the russians are going to do in response. So far seems pretty measured but i certainly think that there is an effort to remove assad, theyll get more aggressive. How would you remove him . Well, first of all, he has to be removed through a combination of alternatives on the ground that are syrians, not foreign fighters, not foreign forces, and, again, this reminds me of one of those cage matches in professional wrestling, 18 different people in the ring and sometimes they fight each other and two of them turn on somebody else. Youve got hezbollah, youve got iran, youve got the syrian forces, youve got the russians, youve got multiple rebel groups that are not jihadists and then a al nusra, and isis, of course. I think youve got to have a sunni, which is the majority in syria, a sunni nonjihadist alternative, what we should have done in 2011, and i hope now the work will begin to carve out a space for them to be able to grow and get more powerful so they can be a clear alternative to assad in whatever happens. Hopefully a political negotiation, not continued bloodshed. The syrian president has killed nearly 500,000 of his own people. 5 million syrians have fled as refugees. Hes gassed his own people including children. Is bombing an air field enough . Well, in terms of retribution or punishment for what hes d done, of course not. Hes a war criminal. Are you concerned now, senator, about a retaliatory strike of any kind . From syria . Syria, russia. Yeah, well, first of all, the syrians dont have the capacity to retaliate against the United States other than perhaps doing asymmetrical things or a chemical attack, which is one of the things that we need to talk about different from the past. You do now have hundreds of american troops as advisers on the ground helping to lead the fight against isis. If assad is willing to use sarin gas against his own people, civilians, hes willing to use those against americans. Why do you think he thought he could get away with it. Thats a good question. Number one this is about regime survival. They feel like theyre losing territory as it were, critical to their survival. Hes prepared to go all the way. Hes gotten nowhere else to go. For him, life or death situation. The other i would say, i said this the other day, i do believe that when the sentiment is out there that somehow we have given up on efforts to remove him and hes going to stay, i do think it gave him a sense an incentive to get away with Something Like this. Thank you, senator. Good to have you. Next half hour, Michael Morell and Fran Townsend join us.

Reporter so on thursday, in a party line vote, 5248, republicans changed the rules of the senate to confirm justices by a simple majority.

Jan, thank you so much. This morning, the world is remembering the socalled merchant of venom, don rickles. He died of kidney failure yesterday at his los angeles home. He would have turned 91 years old next month. In truth, he was one of the kindest, caring and most sensitive human beings we have ever known. David letterman added, such a professional, such a gentleman, already miss him. God bless you, don rickles and thank you. Thank you for everything youve done. Late night hosts paid tribute to don rickles shortly after he passed away. I know it sounds crazy to say he was too young, but he was because he was youthful and funny and sharp and generation. During his more than 50 year care care career. Rickles managed to insult just about everyone, especially his friends. I must be honest. I never liked lucille ball. I never did. He still got them to laugh along with him. I spoke with him in 2007. Almost a mark of distinction to be in that audience and have you pick him out. Some people do. I have a knack, i dont know how, but i have a knack of making fun of somebody and exaggerating without hurting him. One of first audience members he insulted was frank sinatra, who later became his life long friend. Im a jew and youre an italian and we have what . Rickles credits him with the biggest treat of his life, a gig at one of president reagans inaugural galas. It is only a joke, mrs. Reagan. Give me a break. Im so lonely. His zingers made him a favorite of late night hosts. He often walked on stage to music evoking a matador about to face off with a bull. You and your wife have the same name . What are you, a detective. His best friend, bob newhart. Bob is saying what other people are thinking, but theyre afraid to say. Hes their voice. Oh, goodness. Delivery too, charlie. Yeah, the turnout across the board shows how much he was loved by that community. You can see Jimmy Kimmels emotion. You had a real conversation with him, it wasnt just a joke a minute. Very smart guy. Absolutely. Smart and interesting and curious. He will be missed. He will be missed. Very much so. Silicon valley wants to train you to constantly check your smartphone.
