this is the school where 21 young elementary school-age children were killed after that earthquake struck. i want to show you what s going on here. people right now are searching for some glimmer of hope. they have found it. but the operation right now is dire. it is a race against time. they believe that young girl is trapped somewhere back in that debris pile. you see crew members and rescue workers on top there. they are looking, they are focused. they are searching and pulling out piece by piece by hand, pieces of this debris that has crushed and crumbled when that school collapsed. it was a four-story building. it just folded on top of itself, trapping and killing those 21 young students and then four other teaches and administrators. they do believe that 12-year-old girl again is inside there and also because they ve identified her location, she s given them some sign that she is alive. according to local officials, they believe there are other heat signatures inside there, meani
hand. very meticulous. very slow process. they have to do it. the fastest rate they can. as you mentioned, we re coming up on that window. 48 hours since that earthquake and since people they do believe have been trapped inside there. you mentioned that little girl. she s 12 years old according to authorities. they think she s in a back pocket underneath rubble. they think they re able to get to her. they have been able to communicate with her. she s shown signs she s alive. and her being in place there has led them to other heat signatures to make them think there are other people back in that pocket. that s where the focus is. that s where crews have their attention. that s why you see people scrambling to get the debris out and get back there and possibly save another life. thank you. one of the other major stories we re following this morning, president trump says he has made a decision on whether the united states will pull out of the iran nuclear deal, but so
get it. that is the first step. martha: in terms of the commandos, take us inside what they are doing. we heard about lots of operatives and people on the ground, who are they are ready to pounce if need be. talk to us about their training, what they are doing, and what they may be able to pull off they are. right now, without going into too many details, we are going every scenario that could go wrong. what this facility looks like, whatever footage we have, whatever satellite village we have, we are rehearsing as we see it, as we know it. planning for multiple contingencies. this is something that you would have to come at just to give you a gravity of what is going on, you would have to have a gravity of every single nuclear sites being hit simultaneously to avoid some sort of detonation. that is an immense task when we are fighting again something that has the means to protect us through isr footage, heat signatures, night vision, and also has a 700,000 person standing army.
necessary to launch this war. yes, i am stkeptical. t we have to take of the cause of these wars and not just people in the middle east. at a time where we don t have money to build roads that we need here in hawaii or other parts of the country. why should we just blindly follow this escalation of counter productive regime and sending american taxpayers dollars that we have seen in iraq and libya and now continuing in syria. the pentagon says they have radar tracking showing that regime planes were in the air and they had heat signatures showing that those planes dropped those chemical bombs in those areas where the civilians were exposed to that kind of nerve agent. what i hear you say thas yis th don t buy that.
breaking news in the investigation of that deadly attack in syria. we have barbara star live in washington. breaking details. the big question is who did it. what do we know now. good morning, chris. now there is no doubt in the miebds of the u. minds of u.s. military that assad did carry out this attack. they have been looking at technical intelligence. through radar they have been able to pick up the tracks of the regime aircraft in the air at the time. the u.s. military can determine who those aircrafts belong to. they know they track them. that s through radar. through infrared, heat signatures, they know those war planes dropped bombs in this area at the time of the attack. so it all adds up. radar, heat signature. they know planes were in the
