-led coalition against isis. and you've rightly pointed out it's important to the states that the wider world get the sense that this is not just a u.s. effort, that this is an effort from the region. and when you talk to people here in the gulf at least, they say this is for all intents and purposes our responsibility. and having this being only a u.s. effort wouldn't be any fault of the u.s., which in many parts of this region isn't held in great esteem. but also important that the arab countries sort of step up at this point. amateur video in eastern syria claims to show several strikes from overnight. the u.s. military saying, as i've said, that saudi and the uae carried out seven of these 13 strikes. bahrain and zwror dan taking part in the first round of strikes, qatar, and i'll say it again, playing a supporting role. john? >> thank you, we appreciate that. becky anderson live for us there in abu dhabi. none of the original allies are taking part in this. is this a problem for the united states? we'll take

this was taken several months ago, i think. >> back in march when isis -- >> when isis first took over. so what is the situation now? is it any different? >> it's certainly different. after president obama gave his speech, after the air strikes began, we're told by activists who have visited there as recently as this week that many of the families, many of the women and children have left that central area of the city, some of the administrative offices have been abandoned by isis, some of their leadership we were told by an activist a matter of 48 hours ago have left the city and they're seeking safety because they really fear that they could be caught in the crossfire with all of these air strikes which are described as more powerful, of course, than what the syrian regime itself is doing. but at the same time, they're still there. they're still inside syria. they're still standing by this islamic state. >> isis has found a toe hold and we're seeing it play out in the hidden video. thanks so much. >>> now sounding the alarm for west africa and the world, the president asks for help o

there's going after isis in iraq and then later we would go after isis in syria. and i think we're coming to the realization that this is really one target set and we have to attack it simultaneously. so whereas i thought we were going to put off air strikes in syria to a later date i think we're going to see this sooner rather than later. because many of us believe this is all happening in syria. isis regards that they have some semblance of safety in syria. they regard that border as a hindrance for us. although they don't recognize that border, i'm assuming that pretty soon washington, london, and some of the other members of the coalition are going to say why should we recognize that border. so i think you're right, we may see an advancement of the timetable. >> you're talking about air strikes. everyone seems to be talking about air strikes. the president keeps saying that there will be no combat forces on the ground. but let me ask you to be very clear and help us because there are uniformed u.s. military personnel in iraq right now. they are on the ground.
