PROBLEM: Washington (CNN) Sen. Marco Rubio, a longtime hawk on Syria, praised the US airstrike on a Syrian airfield days after a chemical attack on innocents attributed to Syrian President Bashar al-Assad. Following news that President Donald Trump had green-lit the US action, Rubio said Thursday on CNN's "Anderson Cooper 360" that Russia could not fairly criticize the military strike because Russia backed Assad -- who is accused of perpetrating the attack on his own people. "They have no standing to say anything about this," Rubio said of the Russians. He said that the move doesn't just send a message, but amounts to a "significant degrading" of Assad's ability to carry out chemical attacks.Rubio said Russians had put themselves into harm's wayHe said the strikes indicated a firm US stance against Assad's reign 
 Question:"I'll let them speak for their policy, but tonight's actions show that the days of being able to act with impunity are over when it comes to _-Assad," Rubio said.

SOLUTION: Bashar al

PROBLEM: The night Geoff Hunt killed his family before taking his own life his wife Kim had raged at him about finances, claiming one of her husband's brothers was stealing from the family trust. An inquest into the deaths of Lockhart farmer Geoff, nurse Kim and their children Fletcher, 10, Mia, 8, and Phoebe, 6, is taking place this week. A forensic psychologist told the inquest it's likely the farmer primarily wanted to kill himself due to his depression and a total loss of hope. However, he may have decided to kill his family as he believed they were dependent on him and he thought 'he would spare them future pain'. His use of a gun to inflict a single fatal injury also indicates he did not wish to inflict pain on his wife and children, the psychologist said.Inquest into brutal deaths of the Hunt family in rural NSW began TuesdayPolice say Geoff Hunt, 44, killed wife, Kim, and their three young childrenHearing told Hunt blamed himself for the brutal murders in a suicide noteKim struggled with physical and mental issues after near-fatal car accidentThe father packed his children's lunches for school next day in final hoursState Coroner Michael will preside over four days of hearings in NSWTragic shooting took place in Lockhart, NSW, on September 9, 2014

PROBLEM: Washington (CNN) A West Virginia man who was a former contractor in Iraq proposed setting up a meeting with Russians and the Trump campaign last year to discuss their "shared Christian values," raising new questions for investigators to explore as part of their Russia inquiry. Current and former US intelligence and law enforcement officials, as well as other intelligence experts, say that Russians sought to employ covert tactics to find entry points into the Trump campaign. And more broadly, experts say, Russian intelligence services have sought to court conservative organizations, including religious groups, to build alliances in the United States.A West Virginia man proposed setting up a meeting with Russians and the Trump campaign last yearThe Trump campaign appears to have rejected the meeting request
