Covering turkey right now. I wish that although this is a domestic affair, i do wish there was more International Support or pressure, for that matter, calling for erdogans government to make drastic changes or resign. He was the one who made the police and judiciary to where it is today. He really should not be complaining. There is a power struggle going on. We know that. But we dont want to be a part of it. The resignations and reshuffle comes on the back of a Corruption Scandal which has seen officials and policemen investigated for bribery and smuggling gold to iran. Over 20 people have been arrested, including the sons of the three ministers to resign. Is calling erdogan the scandal of conspiracy plotted by international to destabilize turkey. We are facing an attack against the turkish people and the turkish republic, which is being presented as a corruption probe. Everybody is aware that this is not a corruption probe, but this is an obvious conspiracy, a set up against turkish
Person. And rapture in germany to riots and argentina. We have the rehabilitation in the football world cup final. Reporter first to the israeli air strikes that killed 172 people. Most civilians. Internation international is recall is refusing international calls. John hendren has the latest from gaza. Funeral processions are common here as the lathal pops and booms in the gaza skyline. What is less common is the sheer number from the dead 18 me, women and children, all members of the family, killed and a single deadliest strike in this military campaign. The israeli attacks that struck the homs apparently targeted the police chief, still in critical condition. The police chief was not either. He just kept the piece. Translation what happened here was an earthquake. It didnt used to happen like this. They killed a pregnant woman, an unborn child. Many targets affiliated with hamas were targeted. Many had nothing to do with rocket launch es. These are spoking embrs. The Israeli Police
America the world policeman. Why should we lead this effort, and when will we learn the nations who will support this action. The United States of america is not being the worlds policeman. The United States of america is joining with other countries in upholding International Standard of 184 nation versus joined into. Obviously we have a greater capacity. We have been blessed with an extraordinarily Capable Military that through the years the American People have invested in in order to protect our security interests. Our security interests are directly involved in what is happening in the middle east. Our security interests are directly threatened. This is al jazeera, and one again were following the House Foreign Affairs hearing on capitol hill on whether to authorize the use of military force against syria. Specific countries have talked in terms of acting, saudi arabia, the french, the British Government felt it should but they had a different vote. But i think that raises the sta
It is not true. There are about 700,000 oppositionists. About 15 to 25 might be in one group or another that we would deem to be bad guys. There are many different groups. And sometimes they are fighting each other, even now. The general belief, there is a real moderate opposition that exists. And our allies in the region are now in a disciplined way funnelling resistance to the moderate opposition. I get when youre saying, but there are moderates. The briefings i have received are that it is at 50 and rising. These fighters coming globally are not coming in as moderates. Theyre coming in as jihadist. I also want to hear from the secretary and from the general as well. I agree with secretary kerrys analysis. Let me remind us all, and you know this very well, congressman, especially with your responsibilities as chairman of the Homeland Security committee. This is an imperfect situation. There are no good options here. Every point you made of the complications with the various terrorist
Debate where having today we are having today is about this president s red line. Let me make it as clear as i can. That is not true. This is about the worlds red line, about humanitys red line. Anyone with a conscience should draw it. It was drawn almost 100 years ago when the original convention was agreed on. Aboutebate is also congress red line red line. They passed the syria accountability act. Thatact says clearly syrias chemical weapons threaten the security of the middle east and the National Security interests of the u. S. Repeatedly, members of congress have spoken out about the grave on sequences of the use of chemical weapons. Its a policynd the stated that the actions of require us tome respond. The world is watching and wondering, not whether if the assad regime did this, that is beyond question. The world is wondering if the u. S. Is going to consent through aside whilestand this kind of brutality is allowed to happen without consequence. In the nearly 100 years since th
