0 space. >> no. >> and thanks for joining us today. >> good to so you. we wish you a good day. america lives starts right now. bye-bye. and we begin with a fox news alert out of washington, where we do expect to be briefed by the state department on the crisis in syria and what is a growing indication that world powers are ready to act to stop the blood shed. welcome to america live. president obama is keeping in close contact with our allies to determine the next step. the united nations acknowledged some coined of substance was used in last week's attack. the u.s. is prepared to act and moving four navy destroyers in the region. each is capable of caring 90 tomahawk missiles and they have nuclear powered submarines at its disposal. reporting live leland viter, it is good to so one positive moment in all of that chaos. >> it certainly is, shannon, but there are not many of them as the war drums continue to be louder and louder in the mideast. there is often the war of words and that started in earnest and the syrians said if struck they will counter attack on tel aviv which will burn in israel. and iranians said tel aviv and israel will bear the brunt and pay the heavy price for the attack by the united states. it is interesting to note they have missiles and anti- ship missiles to hit things in the mediterranean and they could be armed with chemical weapons. and the israelis are taking no chances. they have activated and put on alert anti- missile system and the iron dome that is successful in the past and the system all on stand by and the israelis are calling up reserve forces that are authorized and the israel citizens are not in the point of panic right now, but of great concern as there are lines all over the country as folks try to get their gas mask. every israel is entitled to a government- issued gas mask. there is long lines and trying to get them and make sure the canisters are up-to-date before any type of hostilities brake out. the prime minister said israel wants to stay out of the syrian war but will respond fiercely if there is an attack. there is a issue of timing. there is concern that the longer the united states and the allies wait to act while talking about military strike, as long as the syrians have the ability to move military hardware to places that means business. >> thank you for the question. in theeralwar. they had targets in lebanon. hesbollah- land i like to call it. and they advised through cell phone calls, and through leaflet drops they were going to do it. get out of the area and tomorrow we will hit the area. there were very few civilian casulties. we can do that by specifically targeting something of importance. palace or residence and shannon if we were going to hit it fire 25 tomahawk missiles and so when he comes back to look at it. there is nothing left and next time it will be him and don't use chemical weapons again. >> sounds like we are inching closer to those possibilities. thank you very much. >> thank you, shannon for inviting me. >> celebrating a pivotal moment in american history 50 years later. civil right's leaders and presidents past and present gathering in the lincoln memorial and dr. king's iconic speech paved the way for racial equality. protestors demanded quality for americans of all races and there was violent confrontations that erupted because of their protest. despite the massive march and the change it brought it is a day remembered from inspiring words from a man whose legacy continues half century later. >> i have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but the content of their character. i have a dream today. >> they are live in the lincoln memorial covering the speeches and memories. hi, doug. >> hi, shannon, the crowd is a bit smaller than on saturday and attribute that to the rain and damp humid weather. still a bit of a surprise given the all- star line up of civil right heros and throw presidents past and present including president's carter and clinton and mr. obama speaking. the president has to thread the needle when it comes to his remarks. he is on the eve of a potential military attack against syria paying homage to a man who was pacist. wo all know and i saw saturday there is a lot of trayvon martin t- shirts. i am trayvon martin and the president last spring said if he had a son he would look like trayvon martin. and that was applauded and disparaged bow many. one thing that a lot of people are asking today. what would martin luther king think of the changes here. america is a different country and no longer black and white and multicultural population and huge population of asians and indians and people of middle eastern descent. >> back to you. >> thank you so much. we'll go to that live. >> and a dead line is approaching as we await kathleen sebilluous that americans may be risking identity theft of the the secretary had until today to respond. florida's attorney general will tell us what she has or hasn't. and the murder saga that gripped the nation. and now the sister of the accused killer and kidnapper is blaming the suspected victim. what is going on there? we being learn the fate of conflicted fort hood shooterna dill found guilty of killing 13 people and wounding dozens more. a jury
