early as tomorrow. part of the issue from president obama was doubling down on his plans, both his strategy in syria and plans for the refugees. one of the issues was that part of that vetting process, one of the largest parts of it is the information comes from syria, so hoy do we know what information, we re getting all of the information that we need to let these people into our country. exactly right. over the next few days you ll hear a lot of republicans and perhaps even some democrats try to sort out a compromise on capitol hill. kristin fisher, thank you, kristin. thank you so much. when you re seeing the majority of governors, it s more than half, saying we do not want to do this. we need to press the pause button. we ll take you back to breaking news in paris, one suspect killed inside an apartment surrounded by police after a dramatic shoot-out and a bomb blat blast at a paris suburb.
