In syria. As important as what he laid out is what when he did not lay out, is a time line of dealing with syria, going after the regimes. What the did lay out there have to be consequences for any action, any chemical weapon used and said the president at some point in time will decide what to do but made it very, very clear the secretary of state believes there will be some type of action used against sirra, but keep in mind, we have u. N. Inspectors on the ground, and seemed to indicate that did not matter. The inspectors would fine there was the use of chemical weapons but could not determine who used those weapons. We have u. S. Navy destroyers off the coast of sirarch sirarch ready to strike at a moments noticeful right now were awaiting new comments from the white house. We just got secretary of state john kerrys comments. Well bring you the white house comments live. Meantime, the u. N. Inspectors are there to investigate the claim that the Syrian Government launched a chemical weapons attack, deadly strike, that the rebels claim killed hundreds of hadnt men, women and children. Now, fox news cannot independently confirm those numbers or the immigrations from the scene. Last week president obama demanded that the Syrian Regime allow u. N. Investigators to see the site of the agent a alleged attack but syria was silent for days on end, experts say enough time to allow the chemicals dissipate. Those inspectors went to the alleged attack site today and quickly came under sniper fire. Syrias government and the rebels accused each 0 of firing on the convoy, and the president called it a red line. With the reports of the latest attack that leaving scores of people dead, with their lifeless bodies in the halls, and others forming at the mouth consulsing the pain, pentagon sources say president obama is considering options to strikement Jennifer Griffin is working at the pentagon. Well get to her. First to Jonathan Hunt with the latest developments. Jonathan, what do we know about the attack on the u. N. Weapons inspectors. Remember the weapon wons inspectors have been in damascus for self several days today know. First time today they left to the hotel to head to where the alleged chemical weapons attack took place. As they were traveling travelinr convoy there was sniper fire at that convoy, at least one of the vehicles we understand was hit by at least one bullet. They then turned around, they returned to their hotel, but later were told they did actually make it out to that weapons to that alleged chemical weapons attack site. They spoke to some of the victims. We have some amateur video of those inspectors at the hospital, apparently talks to doctors, some witnesses, and some of the victims. We can also assume, of course, they collected samples which will be key in deciding what was used, what kind of chemical weapon, was it sarin gas . But as we heard the secretary of state now say those weapons inspectors will not make any comment on who used those weapons, if indeed they were used, simply what they believe they were. They will not, trace, assign any blame. While all of this is going on in this done there and sirra, you still have president assad warning the u. S. Against any dine of military action. President obama clearly weighing is in options now for military action, but assad of syria sat down for an interview with the russian daily newspaper today, the state news agency in syria, releasing still photographs of him apparently being interviewed. We cant independently confirm them. But president assad apparently said, quote, referring to the United States, they can start a war but they will not know where it will spread or how it will end. He was then asked by the interviewer, how do you believe it will end . What will happen for the United States . He replied, quote, what it suffered in all its wars from vietnam until now. Failure. So those in effect fighting words from president assad who may soon find himself the target of some sort of American Military action. Trace. Trace indeed he might. Jonathan hunt live for us in new york. Thank you. Lets bring in now former u. N. Ambassador to the u. N. , john bolton, a Fox News Contributor and Foreign Affairs analyst and author, gordon cheng. Ambassador to you first. You just heard secretary of state john kerry lay out a semi indictment of what they believe is the facts on theground that chemical weapons were used. Doesnt sound to me as if its a matter of whether or not to attack but when to attack. What do we wait for now . Austerer strong, very emotional statement. It still doesnt explain exactly what the United States objectivity objective would be in using military force but i agree, i think military force is coming. I think the president s credibility was badly wounded earlier this year when the first reports of major use of chemical weapons were made public, crossing the president s red line of about a year ago, and the administration did nothing. So, certainly something is coming. What and how much remains to be seen. I want to pick up on a comment you made just a short time ago before secretary of state kerry spoke, saying you dont believe an attack on syria is necessarily the answer in all of this. I dont think people will say that the use of force indiscriminately is going to resolve the issue, either of the chemical weapons or the situation on the battlefield in syria. Even a major use of american force, i dont think at this point, can tip the balance. I think the signal it sends to iran and its Nuclear Weapons program in fact is that iran is best advised if the u. S. Strikes sirra, to move up even more rapidly to get the Nuclear Weapons capability in place. Trace gordon cheng, when the phrase tipping the balances comes into play do you agree with the ambassador its not maybe a means to a solution here . Do you also think if we do strike its important to go after certain targets first . I think its important to go after the chemical weapons excite also decapitation strikes against the regime. I understand that we may not be able to tip the balance of but its important to send a message to other rogues around the world that the use of chemical weapons is completely unacceptable. If we dont do something were making the use of chemical weapons likely. We didnt do anything in the spring and now they have done it in august, and if we dont do something now, clearly another rogue, will use wmd in the future. What about looking at the middle east chess board . Do you believe a how do the neighbors in the area react . The post important thing is how iran reacts, because were concerned about chemical weapons but we need to be even more concerned about irans Nuclear Weapons capability, because perhaps within five months, six months, they could build a bomb if they want to. Theyre the classic bomb in the basement situation, and clearly that would be a much worse scenario for israel and our allies and the United States as well. Trace ambassador bolton, you have been down this road before. As the president said, they want to get their allies on board with this. How long does it take . What are we talking about as a timeline here . We know russia is against this. We know others are against this. If we get enough allies whats the timeline in your estimation . Well, honestly, i dont think we need any allies. I dont really see the purpose of a military strike here, but if were going to do it we should be doing it right now. Every day that goes by allows assad to move his chemical weapons stockpiles to other locations, maybe in heavily populated urban areas to disburse as command, control, and communications for his military to take steps to minimize the effect of a u. S. Strike. Were not going to have any action in the u. N. Security council, which im sure the Obama Administration would like. Russia and china made that very clear. So, gathering allies at this point might be helpful in some political sense, but it allows the military advantage, i think to move to syria. Trace just buys time. Ambassador john bolton, gordon chang, thank you both. Thank you. Trace the fate of the convicted fort hood shooter now in the hands of a military jury who could give him the Death Penalty. But does it complicate their job that hasan says execution could make him a martyr. More breaking news from siras as studio studio b continues. The day we rescued riley was a truly amazing day. He was a matted mess in a small cage. So that was our first task, was getting him to wellness. Without angies list, i dont know if we could have found all the services we needed for our riley. From contractors and doctors to dog sitters and landscapers, you can find it all on angies list. We found riley at the shelter, and found everything he needed at angies list. Join today at angieslist. Com trace jurors in the case of the convicted fort hood hurt will have to decide where l he should die or spend his life in prison. The sentencing phase getting underway today. The jurors took less than seven hours to convict hasan of killing 13 people and trying to kill dozens more in the shooting rampage nearly four years ago. Hasan never disputed carrying out the master, and while acting as his own attorney he put up basically no defense. Casey steagall is live for us. What happened in court today . To say the stories are emotional may just be an understatement. The family members of all 13 victims who were killed in 2009 have been taking the stand, really the first time we have heard from them since the attack. The most powerful, a widow. Her husband was preparing for his first deployment and was at the srp build that day to get medically cleared. She went as she told the court today that she tried calling and texting him when she learned there had been a shooting and then when she did not hear right back from him she knew something was terribly wrong. She went on to say she kept his cell phone turned on for three years, just so she could call it to hear his voice. The 13 member panel must be unanimous, all in agreement if they give hasan the Death Penalty here this week, trace. Trace if he does get the Death Penalty, casey, what do we expect . Goes all the way up to the president of the United States who must officially sign the death warrant, and then hasan would be moved to the u. S. Military death row, which is located in Fort Leavenworth in kansas, five other condemned soldiers are house thread because the u. S. Army has not carried out an execution since 1961. Likely due to the high rate of appeal with these cases for context. Military appeals co overturned, get this, 11 of 16 death sentences handed down in the last three decades so the court here at fort hood, the precision, and the judge, working hard to make sure that hasans case is not one of them and this is a fair trial. Trace . Trace still a very long road to go, caseying at, thank you. A tenyearold amish girl with can cancer is in a battle between her family and the hospital.

Cannonbox [splash ] wildfire alert now in one of californias largest wildfires ever is burning in and around Yosemite National park and threatening the water and Power Supplies for the entire city of San Francisco. Fire Officials Say crews made some progress battling the flames overnight and that the fire now covers 234 square miles. Think about that. Bigger than the city of chicago. Crews are now working to protect several towns near the national park, even as heavy smoke blankets some areas severely limit visibility. Very eerie, the level of smoke was creepage. The firefighters are amazing and theyll keep us protect it. Impressive. Looks like its a coordinated effort and comforting to see. The u. S. Forest service says the fire has been threatening some 4500 homes and other structures. Meantime the flames are edging closer to the hetchyhetchy reservoir that plies water to the San Francisco bay area. The wildfire erupted hydroelectric power. The reservoir helps to generate. The threat to San Franciscos utilities has led californias governor to declare a state of emergency. The fire is larger than chicago, this is an image showing the smoke plume from space. Claudia, what is the situation there . Downtown just a few miles from the fires leading edge which is why dozens of fire engines are on standby, ready to protect homes and businesses. More than 4,000 firefighters are doing battle from the air and ground. 13 helicopters and six air tankers are dropping fire retardant and water. One lock resident shot some amazing video of a drop right behind his house, and evacuation advisory is in effect but Officials Say the order for mandatory evacuations could come later today as the fire moves north and east, and just minutes ago, governor jerry brown got a briefing on the fire, and efforts to bring up those sub stubbornly low containment numbers. 7 more confident than i was yesterday. 15 containment at last report. The cost of this fire was topping 20 million. Trace claudia, what about yosemite itself . We know some 15,000 acres have already burned. Whats the late the rest . Reporter theres still lots of ore fineline right now inside the park. But the hotels and the famous sites like encapitan and half dome are a good distance away from the flames and the granite provides a fire break. These sequoias can resist fires but not an inferno like this. Firefighters say they are taking no chances with this crown fire, socalled because of its tendency to jump from tree top to tree trop and along the ground. Trace trying to steer it away from the population. Doctors say a little amish girl has an 85 chance of surviving a serious form of leukemia if she gets chemotherapy. Right now theres a legal battle in ohio over her treatment. Reports indicate that the tenyearolds parents have stopped her chemotherapy treatments because they were horrified by the side effects. They have chosen to treat her with Natural Medicine and herbs and vitamins, the hospital is now appealing a ruling by a judge. The doctors have found tumors in their neck and kidneys and without chemotherapy may die in a matter of months. Before you can pull this child away from the parents you have to show the parents are unfit. Right . Seems to me everything you read about this so far its a very difficult case to prove. It is, a very difficult case all around because at the heart of this we have a tenyearold girl whose life is on the line, interest we have on the one hand parental right to make decisions for their child, and then on the other hand the right of the hospital, the legal and ethical on gages of a hospital to care for a patient and to care for a child, and we know, we know that courts are very, very reluctant to intervene on parents rights because they have explicitly recognized parents have a constitutional right to make decisions for therapy children. Trace even the girl told the judge, look, it makes me sick. I just dont want it. I feel like my vital organs are going to be affected down the road. The doctors are saying you may die. Your odds of dying or very good. So this is a difficult decision for a judge to make. Very difficult. I dont envy the task of this judge and the task of the appellate court, you can kind of understand from the parents perspective. They have given chemo a shot and have been doing everything they income the best interests of their child and theyre saying the chemo is having devastating affects on her child, and the child is complaining. You hear the hospital saying she has an 85 chance of survival with continue with the chemo, and if we discontinue, she is likely going to die. The court has to do a balancing test, and they use what we call strict scrutiny in these cases, which is the highest level of scrutiny in the law. Theyre reluctant to interfere in a parents constitutional rights. Clearly a very difficult decision. Secretary of state john kerry says the administration has more evidence of Chemical Attacks in syria.
