“CBS This Morning” co-host Charlie Rose won a Peabody Award back in 2013 when he interviewed Syrian President Bashar al-Assad. Rose gets another chance, interviewing al-Assad in Damascus for this Sunday’s “60 Minutes.”
Excerpts from the interview will air tonight on the “CBS Evening News with Scott Pelley” and tomorrow on “CBS This Morning.” The entire interview will air on PBS during “Charlie Rose” on March 30. The interview, which occurred today, comes nearly a week after Secretary of State John Kerry told CBS News that the United States is open to negotiating with Assad in order to broker peace for the war-torn nation.
