. this week, we are looking at the latest developments in the war in syria, where the focus is on the embattled city of aleppo. in recent days, the e city once known as the jewelel of syria hs seen some of the most horrific fighting in the fifive-year-oldd conflict 250,000 are under siege. there are allegation of barbrbarism and war crimeses. medical staff say they simply cannot cope with the overwhelming number of casualties. one first responder said of the situation in aleppo, there is no escape. it feels like the end of the world. on "quadriga," we are going to be talking about the suffering of the people of syria and the response of the international community. to do so, i'm joined in the studio by three syrian specialists, beginning with usahma felix darrah, a german syrian author and activist based in berlin. he says what is happening is an abomination and will continue as long as washington continues to refuses to exercise strategic leadership. also with us is kristin helberg, a widely published commentator on syria. she is convinced the path to peace goes through moscow. we ar

one we are talking about iraq and in another way we are talking about syria and one saudi form ermine ster said to you, if you guys are going after terrorist, who is the realtor risk in the regular owned and he said president assad has killed hundreds of thousands of innocent people, not isis. why would he say that and what does that show us about the complexity of the decisions we are making? >> there are two battle fronts really one in iraq and one much more challenging in syria. you take towns and ally yourself with let's say syrian kurds to help you take those towns, who is going to run the towns after you take it. you don't have a partner in the government and as long as there's a war, a civil war raging in syria, you're going to have ungoverned spaces that isis can take. and exploit, and so people across the middle east say you're not going to defeat isis in syria unless you can get assad to come to the table, to get a cease fire or depots.

tragically and effectively in syria where the people of aleppo are hoping desperately that we and our allies may be able to do something to alleviate their suffering in the face of the barbaric assaults of the assad regime with the -- of russia and iran. and i must tell you at this stage it is vital that we do not raise false hopes. we know the difficulties and the implications of a no-fly zone or no bombing zone, and no matter how easy those concepts may sometimes be made to sound, but if there is more that we can reasonably and practically do together with our allies, then, of course, we should consider those measures and, believe me, that work is now going on. but we should also take pride in what we are already doing. the second biggest donor of humanitarian aid to the region, we fund the white helmets who dragged people from the rubble after the air strikes and who have themselves suffered terrible casualties. i've seen the work of british police training local syrian police so that they are able to build public trust in the areas occupied by the moderate we're helping to clear m

? robin: oh, huge role. many of the strategic gains in both syria and iraq has been in large part because the united states has been able to take off equipment, key personnel, in a pivotal battle , for example, which really opened up the way to take -- the an area of syria the united , states engaged in more than 50 airstrikes and killed 2500 fighters, they claimed some of the most hardened ones from chechnya and eastern europe. laura: how much has admitting turkey made a difference? robin: there was a lack of coordination at first in syria and turkey has its own agenda when it comes to the kurds in iraq. iraq and syria are both no longer just getting the local governments against isis. you have the international community in its many forms playing roles as well. laura: two years ago islamic state seem to be riding high. they established the caliphate. how damaging is it to their reputation and ability to recruit, the fact that they are under pressure in mosul? , and: enormous pressure arguably this has been the toughest we can half years of the islamic state's existence. half --e

more syrian refugees, the pictures from syria are haunting. such as the one of a young boy in the back of an ambulance covered in blood and dust from an air strike. what role if any do you think the u.s. should play with regard to the people of syria? mr. portman: i think we've let the people of syria down. sadly there are over 200,000 people who have been killed by their own government there. four million people or more have now fled the country as refugees. many have stayed in the area to be resettled. others have gone to europe, over a million. some have come here. my response to the question about bringing additional syrian refugees was because before the homeland security committee, the director of the f.b.i. said that we cannot figure out who these people are, what their intentions are, because we have no information on them. we don't have any contact with the syrian government or any people on the ground to be able to determine that. that to me is not a good thing for the united states to do. instead, what i've called for, since my first day of senate, is to say, let's create in

server was subject -- >> governor i'd like to ask you about syria. governor. you have had a minute. -- >> that not one reasonable prosecute we're take any additional step. you don't get to decide that rights and wrongs we have justice system that does that. republican fbi director did an investigation concluded -- >> we are moving on now. 250,000 people, 100,000 of them are children -- governor -- >> that is absolutely false, you knee. >> you knee -- gentlemen, please! >> did an investigation. they concluded that there was -- >> senator! >> no probably prosecutor -- senator kaine, governor pence, please. i want to turn now to syria.

in the part of syria that included a small village called dabiq, its propagandists seized on an obscure islamic prophecy that declared not a specific date for the end of the world but a specific location where the end of the world would start. this little unassuming town of 3,000 people in syria called dabiq, nine miles from the border with turkey, that was supposed to be the site of an apocalyptic end times battle between the true believing muslims of the world and a crusader army of infidels. this is not a mainstream part of islamic theology. this is as radio preachers proclaiming dates for the end of the world in christian theology. sure, you can kind of get there, but that's not where most people go with it. isis made it a central part of their theology and their propaganda. after they captured the actual city of dabiq in 2014, they started closing out propaganda videos with an isis fighter carrying the banner on a hillside overlooking dabiq. they brought their captives from other territory that they controlled. they brought them into dabiq so they can be executed in dabiq s

. professing to insert the military more deeply into syria and build a coalition against extremists that were trying to capitalize on the chaos inside of syria, he failed in all of the stated goals. he is not building grand international coalition. if anything he has become further isolated. he has not emerged as a leading figure to confront the situation, he has emerged as the largest target of criticism from the international community with tactics that he has employed and supported in the syrian civil war. he has only deepened his countries involvement in a sectarian conflict that is fueling extremism and poses a greater risk to russian individual or military service members who are in syria but it's also increased the wit risk his country faces back home because of the extremism that has been fueled. it is hard for president vladimir putin to make a case that is played out in a way to benefit his country. i . out that all that takes place against the backdrop of a weakening russia economy. the russian economy is smaller than spain and australia, according to an imf report that was re

russian leader in syria. despite reservations voiced by trump himself. >> i would have stayed out of syria. >> if russia chooses to be involved and continue i should say in being involved in the attack on civilians in aleppo, the united states of america should be prepared to use military force. >> reporter: polls show pence's reganesque performance carried the night. shrugging off the fact that trump didn't pay federal income taxes for two decades. >> he said, that makes me smart. it's smart not to pay for the military. it's smart not to pay for health care. >> reporter: when his son was asked by dana bash whether his father had paid federal income taxes over the last 20 years his answer hardly put the matter to rest. >> yes, absolutely. my father pays a tremendous amount of tax. we as a company pay a tremendous amount of tax. >> reporter: with the next presidential debate days away, the pressure is back on the top of the ticket. this time, trump's campaign manager says the gop nominee will be ready. >> we prepare constantly. and he has gotten very excited about the town hall format

syria and iraq do. the only one that people are even a little bit concerned about would be libya because they see a lot of similarities between you know, isil controlling territory within libya, taking a city within libya, there being an oil sector within libya. but we're talking a fraction, a fraction of the wealth. they don't make any money off of the oil, the oil sector with libya to the extent that they are focused on the oil sector, it is to destroy its capacity, not to take advantage of its capacity. with respect to their ability to extract wealth from territory within libya, as i said, when they -- went into mosul, there was in excess of half a billion dollars primarily in dinars available to them. when they went into sirte, there was approximately $4 million available to them. i don't want isil to have $4 million but that's a qualitatively different problem than $500 million. so even in a scenario like libya, they do not have the ability to generate wealth. again, that brings us back to what we, you know, what we were just talking about. so it's about identifying networks

? mr. baraka: 48 at this point. host: isis has been a part of the major problem in syria. let's acknowledge syria is very complicated. there is a civil war and there's a proxy war among many foreign powers in syria. it's also a war of who gets to run their pipeline through syria. part of that mess is isis and isis in turn grew out of the chaos of iraq and isis also grew out of the chaos of libya. and hillary clinton approved that war in iraq and led them into libya. she has everything to do and her poor judgment has everything to do with the chaos around the middle east now that we are seeing full force in syria and what is really frightening now to me is that hillary has been but allfor a long time is stronger now. she is calling for a no-fly zone in syria and what that really means is not only bombing syria and taking out all of the antiaircraft positions, which means bombing population centers in syria, but it means shooting airplanes out of the sky who are violating the no-fly zone and not means we are going to war with russia. we are both nuclear armed powers and have 2000
