Syrian Forces Reclaim Another Neighborhood in Aleppo.
CAMEROTA: An update now on the situation in Syria. Government forces there are tightening their grip on Aleppo, reclaiming yet another neighborhood. This as tens of thousands of Syrians run for their lives. CNN senior international correspondent Fred Pleitgen spent the weekend in Aleppo. Fred, tell us the latest.</s>FREDERIK PLEITGEN, CNN SENIOR INTERNATIONAL CORRESPONDENT: Yes, Alisyn. It looks like there was another collapse of many of the rebel defenses in that little enclave that they have in Aleppo. There was really a sustained campaign by the Syrian government forces, and I don't think that we can stress enough that, even by the Syrian civil war, what we've been seeing in Aleppo over the past couple of days is a lot more fire power. You're not talking about an ebb and flow on the battlefield. You're talking about a sustained 24-hour campaign, using very heavy weapons. And at the same time, Alisyn, you have tens of thousands of people trying to flee those besieged areas, and the only way they can go out is to go right through the front line. We were there just two days ago, and we saw people who were in a devastating state, who said that it was very dangerous for them to come up, but they had to make that journey, hoping they would make it out safe. So, really looks as though the rebels are losing their foothold in Aleppo. This is something that could only be a matter of days, the Syrian government believes. But at the same time, the Syrian government is losing ground elsewhere where ISIS has gone back into the ancient city of Palmyra. Of course, there's a lot of concern about the ancient Roman ruins, which really are a cultural heritage. But it seems as though ISIS used bad weather in the past couple of days, which meant the Syrian air force couldn't fly airstrikes, and has moved into that town, again. So, a lot of motion there on the battlefield. A lot of things happening. A very, very brutal state of affairs right now, especially out there in Aleppo -- Chris.</s>CUOMO: Fred Pleitgen, thank you very much. Another story for you this morning. The gunman who shot and killed former New Orleans Saints football player Will Smith after this traffic confrontation last April has been convicted of manslaughter. Last night very late, actually, the jury also found 29-year-old Cardel Hayes guilty of attempted manslaughter for wounding Smith's wife, Raquel.
