As we told you president obama is calling it a potentially significant breakthrough. Syria welcoming the idea of turning over all of their chemical weapons for destruction. It comes as president obama admitted he was losing support in congress for a military strike against syria. Abcs diane sawyer sat down with the president and heres more on what he had to say. If Bashar Alassad gave up control of his chemical weapons, international authority, are we back from the brink . Is military strike on pause . Absolutely. If in fact that happened. I dont think we would have gotten to this point unless we had maintained a credible possibility of a military strike, and i dont think that now is the time for us to let up on that. Now the key is can we see a sense of urgency . How long does he have to show, a week, a month . This is one of those situations where the stakes are high but they are long term. They are not immediate. They are not imminent but they are serious. Bashar alassad has said, everything is possible in terms of retaliation. Should expect everything. Should expect everything. Do you feel at this moment, look at everything thats possible that the American People should brace for retaliation . No. Look, we take all precautions, but understand assads capabilities are not significant compared to ours. They are significant compared to an opposition that are not professional fighters. They have allies, iran, hezbollah. They are significant relative to 400 children that they gassed. They are not significant or relative to us. Iran is not going to war with the United States over the use of weapons that they, themselves object to. Hezbollah recognizes that this is something assad should not have done. It is true that both iran and hezbollah have asymmetrical capabilities where they could threaten an embassy, perhaps covertly. But those are the kinds of threats and risks that we deal with every day in the region. I think it is important for us to understand that if, in fact, the choice is between a world in which dictators and other countries start to believe it is acceptable to use chemical weapons on civilians and children, it will make it more dangerous for us. Thank you fwlmpt thank you very much, diane. Of course the president ial speech tonight. 9 00 please watch. Much more news ahead.

So the gators kept growing and growing. Alligators grow well in to old age and if left long enough, some grow to 19 feet. Thats the length of an average rv. So we set out to find them. Going slow because you dont want to spook them. Reporter after hours of watching gators hide under water, this one showed his face. I hear him.

Do you believe that . It is tuesday, september 10th. From abc news, this is world news now with john muller and diana perez. Good tuesday morning. We begin this half hour with a possible solution to the syrian crisis. Russia proposed that syria turn over chemical weapons for destruction. The syria foreign minister has embraced the idea. Speaking to Abcs Diane Sawyer, the president appeared to be in favor of the plan, saying doing so without a military strike is his overwhelming previous. He says the threat of military action may be enough. I dont think that we would have gotten to this point unless we had maintained a credible possibility of a military strike. Majority leader harry reid says he has put off any vote on military strikes while the new avenue is explored. With more on regional reaction, we turn to molly hunter who is joining us via skype from the turkish border. Big move, russia urging syria to give up its weapons, saying they can honcho this transition, them giving up their weapons. It sounds like a potential game changer. Whats the reaction there . Reporter absolutely, john. It is a potential gamechanger. In many ways, it is exactly what the u. S. Oopts no chemical weapons in Bashar Al Assads hands. But if it is a real offer from the russians, it threatens to erode support for military action. We have seen the senate push off a vote already. We will have to see how people react tonight after president obama speaks. This russian offer is also a sign that russia believes the u. S. Will actually go through with the strikes. It reads like a lastditch effort to kind of give president Bashar Al Assad a way out. The bad news, john, is if russia and syria are willing to give up chemical weapons they may believe that assad can win the war with or without these chemical weapons. You are in turkey on the syrian border. Are there any reactions from russias proposal from where you are . Reporter there is. They are certainly talking about it, diana. Turkish leaders are not enthusiastic. As i mentioned, this minimizes the possibility of a u. S. Strike. A strike that turkey supports but wants no direct role in. Turkeys foreign minister said this morning the longer the International Community waits the more massacres we will see inside of syria. They would very much like to see the u. S. Act decisively are. Lets talk about allies like turkey. What are they looking for from president obama tonight as he addresses the nation . John, they are looking for action. Turkey, jordan, saudi arabia, they are all looking for the u. S. To push ahead with this proposed military strike that president obama has been speaking about so much in recent days. Of course the Million Dollar question is what will the president do if congress doesnt approve military action. The president s speech is running at 4 00 a. M. It is live at 4 00 a. M. Here local time, but you can bet leaders in the region will be up and watching. Molly hunter, live in turkey, thank you for that. The crisis in syria is the subject of the president ial address to the nation. We will have it on air and online at 9 00 eastern time. Returning to home now. There have been no charges filed against George Zimmerman following a domestic dispute involving his estranged wife. It took place at a house they used to share in florida. Shellie zimmerman called to report that George Zimmerman punched her father in the face and grabbed her ipad and smashed it and said that zimmerman was ominously threatening her with a gun. He continually has his hand on his gun and says, step closer. And what . He is going to shoot us. Hours later Shellie Zimmerman changed her story and said she never saw a gun. Police at the scene never found either. His attorney denies zimmermaner punched his zimmerman ever punched his fatherinlaw. A legal blow for Abercrombie Fitch. A federal judge ruled that they illegally fired a worker for taking off the head scarf. The company claimed the scarf violated its looks policy which it says is part of the marketing strategy.

Rough go of it in the press no doubt about it. The company the trial is scheduled for later this month and the judge said the jury is free to award punitive damages if it chooses. Well see.

But the utility had a change of heart. A crew showed up to save the day. The cat is enjoying a new home. He was adopted by one of the onlookers and fed an given water so it could go to sleep, im sure.
