>> reporter: a flurry of global diplomatic activity were hospitaled by these comment business u.s. secretary of state john kerry. >> sure he can turn over the chemical weapons to the

international community in the next week turn it over. all of it. >> it will allow full and total accounting before that but he isn't about to do that and can't be done obviously. >> reporter: the state department said his ultimate was a flush eur. flush -- flourish announcing a surprise change. >> translator: john kerry said the attacks can be avoid if damascus comes over to the u.n. we don't know if syria will agree to that. if they do, russia will immediately work with damascus tie chief that. >> reporter: he has welcomed to russian proposalle but it's far from clear whether that means the assad regime will agree to

oh new plan. the next in a far moveing chain of events came here in new york. the russian plan became a u.n. one with strong support from the secretary general. >> i'm urging the security council to demand the transport of syria's chemical weapons to places inside syria where they can be safely stored and destroyed. >> reporter: if syria says yes to transferring its chemical stocks to international control, how quickly can you, t*upb, respond to take control of those stock? es what's the time frame? >> i think that is the proper way for syria to do. the agree to those proposals then i think the international community will have a very swift action. syria must agree to this. >> the u.n. secretary general makes it sound simple but even

if syria hands over its chemical weapons and that's a big if, there's still major hurdles ahead. for start, no one knows how many chemical weapons the assad regime possesses. there's no to independent entry of the stocks. >> the experience of u.n. weapons teams in iraq over a decade ago is also worth recalling. saddam hussein played cat and mouse with the u.n. for years. there are many who believe assad might try to use the transfer of his chemical weapons as a stalling tactic. a way to put off u.s. bombing for months on end. al jazeera, the united nations. president obama makes his case to the american people during a prime time television address terrorism night it's part of the media. the white house began. mike reports on that. >> reporter: well they call it the bully pulpit and we are going the find out how effect it

is. the if the airing all evening on monday. after that he goes to capitol hill. he speaks behind closed doors on tuesday with the senate republican, senate democrats and the big speech 9:00 p.m. eastern time just behind me in the white house. everything on hold at the moment after that surprise announcement by the russians. they have a proposal, the white house has received it but leaving the door open. now the president talked about that effect on the vote on capitol hill in one of those interviews earlier today. >> i don't anticipate that you would see a success of votes this week or any time in the ine immediate future. i think there will be in the time in the united states for the international community the russians and syrians to work with us to see if there's way to resolve this.

>> reporter: w iran and north koreas and others on the international stage are watching. this will be a nationwide prime time audience. this is the tragedy on the part of the white house. they are trying to remove votes when those vote seem to be going the other way against them at the moment. president obama wasn't the only one to give an interview today. bashar al assad himself sat down with cbs. he made some threats against the united states if a military strike were to go forward he said expect everything in retaliation. the president had an answer for that as well. >> mr. assad doesn't have a lot of capability. he has capability relative to children. he has capability relative to a opposition getting the themselves organized. he doesn't have a credible means to threaten the united states.

his allies, iran and hezbollah could engage in ac in asymmetril strikes against us. we are dealing around the world that i have spoken about recently which are embassies that are being threatened. u.s. personnel in the region. those are threats that we deal with on an on going basis. >> reporter: on that russian proposal that has everything on hold here in washington is by no means a done-deal. the administration, the president still looking at it but we do know it has delayed things. initially the senate was to vote on wednesday afternoon the first of many procedural votes. a strong indication on where they would stand. the majority leader harry reed said those vote would be delayed. nobody wants to bring these members to walk a plank on a tough vote if they don't have to it aos a wait and see approach in washington. >> al jazeera america will carry

the president's address to nation live tomorrow night it begins at 9:00 p.m. eastern time. there will be a live town hall meeting in washington, d.c. hosted by joey chen. >> law makers are divided whether they should take military action in syria. 331 members would vote against the strike. 44 remain undecide and 25 say they would support military action. this in the house 241 say they would vote against the strike or leaning toward voting against it. 166 are undecide and 26 say they would support military action. we have more in capitol hill. >> reporter: over in the house of representative sendives it's a moment to wait and see. there are two po ten eurpbl game changeers on the table and house members say they want to see how these turn out before they commit to a vote. one is president obama's speech on tuesday night.

his address to oh the nation sa moment, members say, for him to make his case and try to convince american people that military action is needed in syria. the second oh potential game changer, rush trurb putting on the table the option that syria would put its chemical weapons under international scrutiny. this can get everyone out of a touch situation in a vote over this. that might be enough for the u.s. to pull back on its military threat. congressman adam smith, democrat of washington state, the top republicans on armed services says he's going to take a moment and wait and see. you know there's still a question about law makers. it's about this plan and how we're going to successfully hold assad accountable for the use of chemical weapons with the plan going forward after a strike. how it really impact things in syria. >> well congressman smith and his colleague miss the house on both sides of the aisle are experiencing an intense campaign by the white house. the big pitch, the big moment is

when the president addresses the nation nap may change the opinion of constituents back home. in a television the interview that aired on cbs we heard more from syrian president bashar al assad and said congress has a very important decision to make. >> well, they are going to vote. i think congress is directed by the people to represent the people. they should ask themselves -- what can they gain now? no political gain. tphop economic gain. tphop good reputation. the united states is at all those times -- so -rb this is against the the interest of the united states. why? because this is the world will support al qaeda and the same people that kill americans in

september. the second thing to the congress that they should add and ask the administration about the evidence that they have regarding the chemical story. the allegations that they presented. an joining us now from las vegas is a national security analyst at stanford law school. welcome. good to see you. >> good to be here. >> give me your reaction on what you saw today from russia? >> it's a surprise move. it's good news if you look at it that way but i'm concerned why the russians came out and made this offer today a day before the president is said to address the nation and the world for that hater. president made it clear months ago where his red line there was and made it clear two weeks ago that he was set to punish the regime in damascus for use of chemical weapons. last week the russians had all

the time they needed in st. petersburg to talk to the president and their team. apparently some talks went on in st. petersburg but the move today, right before the president is set to tie dress the nation, is surprising. if bashar al assad is willing to put all his chemical weapons under international inspections and allow inspec inspectors to n and destroy these weapons that is great news for everybody. >> dow think the secretary of state made an off the cuff remark that the russians just picked up on? secretary kerry today was very clear in his remarks in trying to deliver the message of the administration. again the president and his team have had a very tough uphill battle to fight especially when it come downs to getting the congress under side. whether it's democratic majority senator republican-led house. >> but was he really pushing this proposal or was he just

throwing out an idea? >> i'm not sure if secretary kerry was talking about specific details but he seized the moment. it seems that secretary try kerry went along with it. this is a good, positive development regardless of whether this was an accidental offer or whether this was something they land oh on before. if the syria regime is willing to allow inspectors in and follow through in good faith with inspections and securing and destroying these chemical we weapons they will save themselves and the rest of the world a lot of headache. >> what makes this different? >> that's why a lot of people are very skeptical about this. first of all, skwraeur is a war zone. -- sirer yeah i -- syria is a r zone. how will we ensure their safety to secure these weapons?

in the place where is the syrian regime has good control a lot of these weapons are based or houseed and based on military bases. is the regime going to let inspectors to come in, secure and inspect inch by inch of these nil tear facilities that are very sensitive to the regime iregime? as an idea it sounds great but when you talk about nuts and bolts on what has to be done on the gold to make sure that the world and international community is satisfied with a full weapons inspection a lot of people are skeptical. >> it sound likes you hit the' very unlikely. >> it is unlikely but it's not impossible. at this point, the government of president bashar al assad really feels the pinch. general wesley clark the former suformersupreme of nato said so. he -- had it not been for president obama's threat of

force it would be unlikely for the russians oh or syrians to accept this plan. is it unlikely? probably. is it impossible? i'm not sure. let it give it a little more time. let's exhaust all option. the president faces an uphill bat until congress anyway. question manage to do this and get this out of the way without a political defeat in the house and the senate, more power to the president. >> the international security analyst. in stanford law school is in california with us to the night. good to talk with you. according to the latest research epbt iser poll, more americans say they don't want the u.s. military involved in syria. 26% of americans say they support a military strike in syria. that's down 1% from last week. nearly 2/3, 63% oppose the strike up from 48% a week ago. and 9% weren't sure. that's down from 23% last week. outside of this country, there was also opposition against the u.s. strike against syria.

in cairo, dozens marched in protests to the u.s. embassy. anti-war demonstrators also get gathered at the embassy in imam. we will look at some of the protests that have been taken place in several u.s. cities this evening. hezbollah is a major force in lebanon. they are fighting along civil government forces. al jazeera's day streud jackson has more on hezbollah's power in the region. >> reporter: complete with guards an guided provided by hezbollah's fighters. support banners line there streets here in praise of their own leadership. bashar al assad syria and statements over their own authority over south lebanon. but this place.ing rebuilt after a car bomb killed 29 people here also serves as a statement. it's response to hezbollah's military support of syria's pa

shar al assad. people i spoke to here are angry and exhausted by the cycle of violence. >> translator: in woman died. many men died. many people died. about what? >> reporter: yet hezbollah's leadership continues to drive their shiite followers to fight over the boarders in syria with assad. it pushes hezbollah to battle israel, the united states and suni opposition groups in syria some aligned with al qaeda. lebanon's former am pwas do to the u.s. oppose the syrian involvement with lebanon says there's no secret to what hezbollah really wants. what is their aim? what is their strategy in syria in war.

that's their victory scenario. syria at war is a syria in which they can play. >> reporter: he maintains that peace is the enemy of hezbollah and they fear a u.s. military streubg strike on syria could threaten the survival of the assad regime. the worst possible out come for hezbollah. some analysts say their leadership has been ominously quiet. hezbollah has been very silent and when they're silent you have to worry about it. they will not stand down when an assad happen against syria. >> reporter: but in the streets of south beirut even strong hezbollah supporters are growing weary of the fight. >> i talked to a man down the street a the few doors down. she a shia and a supporter and supporter of bashar al assad. he doesn't want to speak on tv because he's angry following

this particular blast. he says he wants peace and wants it now. he said for 15 years here in lob none they had a civil war. he fought in it, he lost his right eye fighting in that war. he said it was brutal and thousandthousands the lost thei. he said at the end of that war, everybody can sit down and talk and work things out and reach a truce. his feeling is, if that can be accomplished after that kind of a civil war, it certainly can be accomplished now. >> reporter: but that peace does not seem close. hezbollah believes a u.s. military strike only elevates the scale of the fighting possibly causing hezbollahle to strike at israel or even cause iran to pour nor weapons to hezbollah's a ar sendal. people may want peace but they say more likely the warfare will continue. >> and jackson is reporting from beirut. keeping track of syria' syria's

chemical weapons. what the country has at their disposal and the weapons used to deliveer the agent. it's not just al qaeda-linked groups in that country. reason why iranians are riskinging their lives in the middle of war. . .

syria is believed to have one of the largest chemical weapon os stockpiles in the middle east. here are the main locations where those we upons are reportedly stored. according to to french surveillance the government has been developing its chemical we tpopbs program since the 1970s. the syrian government has more than a thousand turns of chemical agents. these chemicals include sarin

and another substance called vx which is one of the most in the world. syria is capable of delivers chemical weapons using missiles with a range of up to 300-miles. earlier i spoke with professor kimberly martin from bonard college at kphrup columbia univ. i asked if the u.s. will allow syria of getting rid of chemical welfares by acceptin accepting s proposal. >> no, i don't think so. putin is a judo master. you do it by having surprise attacks that throw your opponent off balance. putin is taking pressure off the home court for this because he had a bunch of mayorial elections today that his opponents won or did much better than expected. he has a reason to deflect

attention to what's going on in russia to what's going on in the international community. >> we went through this with iraq and saddam hussein and it was delayed tactic. >> yes. i think that's a real issue that very smart people are going to have to come together and solve. who does the inspections. who's responsible for giving the okay saying they are all taken care of. there's huge challenges ahead. >> it appears the united states is on the verge of war a week a go. now a potential solution. how did that happen? >> by accident it looks like. that's what everything appears to be. >> it's a red line and the other one being let's destroy -- that boggles the mind and diplomates wouldn't have consider that. >> just waiting for an opportunity and i think he got

it. does he look strong that's fighting syria's civil war. these the men the obama administration doesn't want to see in power. and they know it. that is why al qaeda-linked groups in syria are maintaining a low profile it seems they feel they could be just as much a target as the syria regime if the u.s. decides to take military action.

with a formula it gives the international commune they forceable mechanism to deal with the the chemical weapons in syria then i'm all for it. >> reporter: he asked for the weapons to be destroyed. it wasn't the russian idea. it came from his own secretary state john kerry and he dismissed it as a possibility. >> he can turn over every bit to the international community in the next week. turn it over. all of it. without delay, and allow a full and total accounting before that. but he isn't about to do it. >> reporter: the president's comments seem to contra dick cot we were hearinging from his own staff. they tried to distance themselfs from secretary kerry's comments saying it wasn't an official ultimatum and down play the

significance of the proposal they call "russia's idea." >> we find highly unlikely. >> it ice also mont>> it's alsoe that syria has stock weapons around the world spread across the country. >> reporter: but president obama didn't ebs press any of those doubts just a few hours later. he did admit the american people are overwhelming against intervening in syria. he doesn't have the votes in congress so now vote won't happen as expected on wednesday. >> i think what we need to do is make sure that the president has an opportunity to speak to all 100 senators and all three people before we do this. >> reporter: the president will speak to the senate and the american people on tuesday trying again to make the case for strikes in syria. polls show they are so far been
