... ... >> you are watching al jazeera. i am thomas drayton. these are the stories we are following: >> the united states and russia are committed to the elimination of syrian chemical weapons in the soonest and safest manner. >> the u.s. and russia reach a deal on destroying syria's chemical weapons. president obama says it's a concrete step. some republicans call it a sign of weaknets. while in syria, itself, some rebels launch a new effort to combine forces. plus hundreds unaccounted for, the search underway in colorado for flood victims.

>> good to have you with us. a day of progress in international gloemings over syria. russia and thediplomacy over syria. russia and the. three days of talks in geneva, u.s. secretary of state john kerry and his russian counter part, sergey lavrov have negotiated a deal. it will calls for wednesday inspectors to be on the ground. syria's entire arsenal would be secured or destroyed by the middle of 2014. in the pentagon, the pentagon says it will not change its position. jo jonah hall from geneva. >> russia and the united states say they have agreed a plan to put syria's chemical weapons out of use. john kerry said neither side was under any illusion, but he said the job can be done. >> the world will now expect the

assad regime to live up to its public commitments. and as i said at the outset of these negotiations, there can be no games, no room for avoid answers or anything less than full compliance by the assad regime. >> what if he doesn't comply after meetings that went on for three days in geneva, certaininga nevrov. >> in this approach agreed upon, there is nothing said about the use of force or about any automatic sanctions. as i said, all violations should be approved to the security counsel convincingly and we understand the decision sergei decisions we have reached today is only the beginning of the road. >> these are the key points of the u.s. russian plan, syria must submit a formal list of its chemical weapons, stocks and locations within one week. international inspectors must

be allowed to begin their work inside syria by november. the goal is to have eliminated all of syria's chemical cam sergei sergei chemicalcal weapons by the end sergei middle of 2014. sergei >> reporter: neither man could spell out how to achieve such an objective in the midst of a war zone. details they said would follow. it's also clear any attempt to ten force this plan should the assad government fail to comply could become so bogged down at the security council where russia has a veto that any threat of u.s. force has become almost meaningless. >> the deal in geneva has gone sergei not gone down well with syria's opposition. >> we think that the russians are playing games to waste time and to win time for the criminal sergei dam at sergei ascus sergei sergei sergei sergei sergei sergei the united states know the main

goal of the russian admin. they are trying to find a solution for damascus >> reporter: as syrian die by the dozens each day, the promise to remove chemical weapons will not shift the balance on the ground but a wider piece con fence might. >> that's something now being discussed off of the back of the negotiations. the greater achievement of these talks has been to bring russia and the united states together on syria after two and a half years apart. president obama had no public events today but praised the deal by secretary kerry. in a statement saying this frame work provides a trans patient, expeditious and verifiable manner which could end the threat these weapons pose not only to the syrian people but to the region and the world. the president went on to say if

diplomacy failed, the united states would remain prepared to act. john mccain and lindsey graham responded scalling the agreemen meaningless. they said it requires a whoaful suspension of disbelief to see this as anything other than the start after glom attic blind alley. the obama administration is being led in to it by bashar and vladimir putin. >> many groups still remain fragmented. >> reporter: celebrating the merger, opposition fighters have joined forces against bashar's troops in more than certain i can't. the merger is the main demand of all fighters in syria we need to be united. >> these are fighters from the

the brigade in homes. the group has been instrumental in making rebel gains in the north over the last two years. the merger under unified command. by doing this, we will be able to expand our reap and have a bigger military role. >> general of the free syrian army is seen here his job is to bring anti-assad fighters this is his biggest challenge. fighters from the front, al-qaeda offshoot black listed by the u.s. and fighters say their goal is to establish an islamic state after the downfall of the assad's regime. the army is distancing itself but has no way to control them.

attempts to reach out to major moderate groups, the most powerful group have failed. described the free syrian army as gathering of war lords. but one thing that most rebels agree on is that damascus is where the most decisive battle is yet to take place. it's controlled by this group. they initially joined the free syrian army but on the ground they remain largely independent. for the time being, unit like this one prefer to launch attacks on their own. in this case, capturing an army garrison in the province. reynolds know their final push to capture damascus and force

assad out of power may never take place if they remain fragmented. al jazeera. >> i want to take you to colorado now where a 5th person is presumed dead because of intention flooding there. the latest victim is believed to be a 60-year-old woman from the town of cedar grove according to the larimor county sheriff's office in a tweet. the national guard is issuing this warning. leave now or prepare for a month without electricity. around 20 people are still unaccounted for. i want to bring in jim hulie joining us from colorado. we understand a predicted sureah in flooding. where are people most in danger? >> well, thomas right now, the people that are most in danger in the foot hills of colorado where the water can come down the hills, come down the mountains in a moment's notice like that, creating that surge of water. >> that's what has caused so much concern. we are getting late word on

flash flooding that may be occurring in aurar a. this is the river in bolder county. you can see this is usually just a trickle. right now, it's a raging river, usually only a couple of inches deep. we have been getting stories and tails of rescue happening here all over colorado. we have some images for you as you can see just late where two coming in for larimore county to the north. about 300 people rescued this afternoon from some of the outlying areas. they were taken in by helicopter. they are safe right now. those were dramatic rescues all day long. some of the towns like bolder, they remain cut off. they have no power, no electricity. the only way to get into those people right now would be by helicopter. we understand there is about 15 aircraft now working to do that and the number of those planes, those helicopters will increase overnight. about 400 specialized search and

rescue team members are on the ground right now. again, the bolder count i see sheriff telling us that that number should double as well. the real concern, though, thomas as we go through the evening hours will be that more heavy weather is moving into this area, especially in the bolder county air. there is a pre-dix for perhaps another half inch of rain, maybe nor overnight and that is a great concern when you look at rivers like this. this, of course, would only increase the danger as we go through the night here for all of the people along the front range of colorado this evening. >> what are you seeing and hearing out there, jim? are people heeding the warning to leave, or are they staying behind? >> so many people are up there trapped. that's why we have the air force of helicopters and planes trying to get people out. they are also telling people here in bolder county the sheriff has interviewed issued an order, don't come in to bolder county if you don't have

to. oh, my goodness safety concerns and traffic concerns they are trying to keep people away so they can do the job of trying to rescue people that are 2r57d now. >> what can you tell us about rescue crews? are they able to work through the night? >> it looks like they have more people coming in here, thomas. yeah, they are going to continue the efforts overnight. they are just trying to assess the situation at this point. they really don't know. they don't know how many people may be up there in the west of us now who may be trapped. one gentleman here in longmont said this looks like not the 100 year flood but a 500 year flood. that gives you an idea of what everybody here in colorado is dealing with right now. >> finally, tonight, jim, are you hearing anything on a timeline once the rain ceases how long before the flooding stops? >> a major question right now. again, sheriff joe pelly said it's going to be a matter of weeks if not months before all of this can be cleaned up. and then there is the concern about i have been from a

structure damage. he said roads up in the foot hill areas not just the fact there is a lot of water many are completely washed out. many canyons are completely gone now along with so many homes that people would call home if people had been living in for years now, completely washed out. >> a tough situation for many people out there. a lot of residents, all right. jim in longmont colorado. thank you. we want to turn to rebecca 7son and talk about that threat of rain this weekend. >> that's true, tom. we've got two rounds that we are waiting for one, this afternoon coming with scattered showers and thunderstorms. they are widely scattered. a second round of rain is more likely it's going to have heavy rain within it, comes into our sunday. so, as we look at the area that's the biggest concern, it's a flooding area stretching not only in colorado but we are seeing this also impact utah with the river flooding and

flash flood washes. you may here the 100-year term used quite a bit. to verify, this was a flood that had one out of every 100 times in one year that that could happen. so when he is saying one of in 500, that's probably 5 times the chance in that full year that it would happen or actually, a very small percentage. so there is quite a bit of rain coming down with these storms. very quickly we could at late with 1 to three inches within the stumbles we are seeing pom up this evening. note that the cities are not getting a lot of this. our observation stations staying with light amounts of rainfall. the heaviest and most intention rain has been coming down into the rockies. we are going to watch that forecast get heavier as the front moves through on our sunday. i will show you that gradual digression into heavy rain through sunday afternoon coming up next. also, coming up later, we have tropical storm strengthening to

a category 100 in the gulf of mexico. it has been causing problems for mexico. the u.s. needs to be concerned. >> a lot to talk about, rebecca. residents in seaside heights new jersey haven't been able to look away from charred debris of their beloved boardwalk. dozens rebuilt from sandy gone because of fire thursday. new jersey governor chris christie promises to rebuild as he comforts the community. he visited the board walk vowing to the community that the state will help rebuild. >> my view is we have some pieces of boardwalk to repair. it's a business on the board walk to rebuild much smaller and containable and attainable for us in a relatively shorter period of time. we had two days to feel sad about this. it's a sad thing: we have a couple of days to mourn. >> it could cost more than

$1 million. that doesn't include the businesses that burned. christie said he will ask for federal help. investigators trying to find out how this fire started. suzuki announcing a recall up ahead. we will tell you which models have been affected. the voyageur space probe has left our solar system. we will talk to an expert about how incredible a feat that is.

welcome back. president obama is scheduled to address the nation on monday. he is speaking to mark the 5th anniversary of the clasps of lee man brothers and the start of the financial crisis.

he is expected to highlight his handling of the economy. a greyhound bus drove off an interstate in ohio this morning. it ended up on its side in a corn field. it happened near sincenatty. local officials say 34 people were hurt, some seriously. six passengers had to be air lifted from the scene. there were 51 passengers on the bus headed to detroit. there is no immediate reports on the cause of the crash. the auto company, suzuki is recalling nearly 20,000 cars and suvs because of a problem with an airbag sensor, it includes the grand vitara from 2006 to 2011 and the sx4 sedan. suzuki says no injuries have been reported. the recall is precautionary. the company will notify owners affected by the recall next month. the number of people leaving cuba is near a 20 year high despite efforts to improve the.

many are heading to the united states in search of better opportunities. teresa bo reports from heavyana. >> ready to leave cuba for good. she has not seen her daughters in four years. both of them live in the united states. i have sold everything i own, my house, my car, my daughters have work in the u.s. it hurts to leave my land government figures show almost 50,000 cubeages migrated permanently in 2012, the largest annual figure since 1994 after what international observers dubbed the rafter crisis >> reporter: for decades cubans have tried to use. it's where thousands of rafters used to come to sail to the united states. earlier this year, the government lifted most of the restrictions for leaving the country freely. now, it's easier and less

expensive for people here to travel and to return once they immigrant. most cubans choose to my great to the unites states where they are granted residency even if they enter the country legally. washington recently announced it was lengthening most visitors from cubans from six months to five years allowing them to make multiple u.s. visits. >> in five years, you can go and come as many times as you want. my sister lost her daughter, and i want to go and viv. it's not like in the past when you left and continue return. both sides are making it easier. >> many of those leaving are young and educated: a problem for a government that is facing a demographic crisis where fewer young people have to support a growing older population. >> the situation now is different than in the past because people are leaving with visas. they are not rafters. those who are leaving are educated. the only way to prevent this is

by improving the economic situation here. they have announced a series of economic recovers to adapt the soviet style economy to current times. but until people see the real benefits, the tide will carry people towards the us. on september 12th, the voyageur 1 became the first man-made object to leave the solar system but it's hard to really fathom the epicness of the chair chiefments. if we started the center of the solar system, that being, of course, our sun and the earth is here 150 million miles away, then the voyageur 1 has spent the last 36 years traveling the spinal of this wall and beyond. the probe has traveled so far a message sent back to earth at life speed takes 17 hours to retrieve. to talk more about voyageur's 12

billion mile journey, we are joined by caleb sharp, an astro physicist from columbia university. >> what is the significance of this milestone >> it's very significant scientifically and i think it's very significant for us as a species because this is really the first time that we have stepped into a new environment, a new cosmic environment. voyageser is now so distant from the sun that the environment around it is something we have never seen before. it's true inter stellar space, if you will. it's significant because this is the first as a species we have ever, ever gone. >> i know there has been a lot of debate on whether voyageur 1 has actually left the solar system. >> yes. >> that's a really great question because the interesting thing is that voyageur 1 has entered this new cosmic environment. but in terms of material that's still orbiting the sun, there is a lot of stuff in the way. voyageur still has a bunch of icy material to get through.

so it's been a little bit of debate about whether voyageur has left the solar system or really just entered into it. >> some are saying it happened last year. >> this is correct. in fact, the most recent data that has convinced the scientists that voyageur really has made the step indicates that it was really the 21st of august, 2012 that this happened. it's only now that we have been able to piece together the clues to know exactly when that happened. >> what is the heliopaz >> the heliopaz defines the environment created by the sun. it forms a bubble or cocoon that's called the heliosphere. the stand-off point and try inter stellar space is this heliopause. >> that's what voyageur has gone through. >> are we able to communicate

with voyageur 1 >> we are. it's difficult. it's very, very difficult. it transmits with the power of only about 20 watts even though it's 12 bill i don't believe miles away. you can communicate. it woeblt be true for that much longer. in about 10 years' time, we think voyageur's power supply will have dropped to a point where it has to basically switch off. >> are we getting any data from that distance? >> we are, simply data, but voyageur still has about two or three instruments that are functioning that it can power and those are measuring things like magnetic fields, measuring that cosmic environment of tenuous gas around it. so, it is still sending back scientific data. >> what can we take away from voyageur when a lot of people are saying what is this mission about? >> i think we take away that this is an example of human exploration at its very finest. voyageur 1 not only explored planets like jupiter and saturn.

it's now probing the great beyond, the cosmic environment of our galaxy and voyageur will be there long after we are gone. it will continue away from our solar system and for billions of years, we expect it to orbit around in our galacy. it may be our best chance at eternity, if you will. >> there is a voyageur 2. isn't there? >> there is a voyageur 2. both spacecraft were launched close together in 1977. the voyageur 2 took a more complex route. it's moving slower than voyageur one. it, too, will ent reach inter stellar space in a while. >> you said it will last, voy e voyageur 1 how long >> we think 10 more years. >> we have you back in 10 years. caleb sc. harf. thank you. >> japan has launched a rocket that may bring down the cost of

putting satellites. it lifted off after a two-week delay. japan's space agency said it cost about $40 million to develop. >> that's relatively cheap by space travel standards. it's carrying an orbiting telescope that will observe other planets. michael eaves joining us with sports. it was magical for a certain pro-golfer >> it was. and one day after shooting a 6-59 in pga tour history, he leads tby one stroke after the third round. it will determine the winner of the fed ex cup and the $10 million purse. he is a former winner of the fedex cup. in college fought ball, burns haringes says the school will conduct its own investigation into rules violation by the football program that were originally alleged in a series of reports by sports illustrated this week. some of the alleged violations

>> this will mark the 5th anniversary of the crisis with a speech from the white house rose garden. he is expected to discuss the country's economic progress. a 5th person is presumed dead as the call for evacuations intentionfies in flood-ravaged colorado. four deaths have been confirmed. now, the national guard is stepping up efforts to rescue the stranded. they are issuing this warning: leave now or prepare for a month without electricity. shhaza casari has more from the front range >> reporter: county state and federal agent seeds are joining together to intensify efforts to rescue residents trapped for days. some of these smaller mountain communities have been isolated by mudslides and crumbling roads. more than 400 people are working search and rescue operations

from here. b 12 chinook and blackhawk helicopters are working with evacuation efforts. >> we know it's a large-scale event. there are a lot of people stranded. we are working to get them out and working hard right now to, if you will, reconnaissance so they can understand what they are doing and what they need to do to recover from this event. >> the weather over the last two 4 hours has provided a window of opportunity. they are bracing for another day of forecast rainfall that could hinder efforts. for now, the focus is on getting those who are stranded out as quickly and safely as possible. >> back to syria. russia and the u.s. have reached a deal to rid the country of chemical weapons. it took three days of talks in geneva. james bays has more >> reporter: this would have been unthinkable. we are getting it welcomed from capitols all around the world. having said that, when the u.s.

and russia do a deal, it's a done deal. it becomes a reality accused the only option really is for world leaders to welcome it. i think behind the scenes, there is a little bit of uneasy. we know when the u.k. and french position was. they wanted a security council resolution here at the united nations. with this sort of deal, with a tight time frame, but they also wanted built in to that resolution the possibility of the use of force so that if in any way assad breached the deal, then it would automatically and legally allow for airstrikes to begin straight away. i think you've got to look to a possible scenario here where days away from now, weeks away from now or months away from now, there is a potential breach. the western nations say it's a violation. russia says no, that's a technical difficulty. there will you will have another disagreement and if the western countries take it to the security council to try and get military, russia is likely to

use its veto yet again. >> russian vladimir putin has been a long time supporter. the friendly relationship between the two countries spans decades in syria, a key alie for russia. randall pinkston reports on how putin has become a peace broker in the syrian prices. >> other than bashar al-assad, vladimir putin may be the most who knows the most about syria's military including chemicalcal weapons. in the soviet era, moscow helped syria build the chemical weapons program. but when large scale took place august 21st, the political calculus changed. with president obama seeking congressional support from for military action against syria, putin decided it was time to act. >> weathered to pick up the phone and call up mr. assad a few days ago and say, bashar, game is up. you have to give up your chemical weapons program, that's

a very strong step for pudin to take. it's a strong tep for assad to accept. >> putin called assad after president obama announced america was in the final stages of planning for a military strike. obama's failure to win support from congress and the public opened the door for putin to extend a helping hand. russia seized on remarks by john kerry to launch a new glom attic initiative. putin then weighed in with a "new york times" op-ed in which he blamed opposition forces for using the chemical weapons. >> either with the publication of the united states report next week on the august 24th chemical weapons attack or other things, eventually, the russian position that the opposition carried out this chemical weapons attack is going to be completely undercut and it will be untenable. >> the public views the two leaders as always at odds but last month, president obama spoke positively about his russian counter part. >> i know the press likes to focus on body language and he's

got that kind of slouch looking like the bored kid in the back of the classroom, but the truth is that when we are in conversations together, oftentimes, it's very productive in the crisis over syria, the white house is counting on putin to deliver. otherwise, president obama will have to make a hard choice between going ahead with the military strike in spite of opposition at home or backing down. both those paths, however, carry significant political and diplomatic risks. randall pinkston, al jazeera, washington. refugees continue to stream out of syria by the hundreds. three boats carney more than 800 refuge easy was intercepted off the coast of italy. one boat carrying mostly women and children was sinking. everyone on board was rescued. the united nations estimates 3,000 refugees have arrived in italy since august. in poland, the movement in the 1980s.

thousands jammed the streets of warsaw today. marchers were protesting the labor policies. many carried signs demanding better pay and better jobs. it was the culmination of four days of demonstrations in warsaw. in mexico city, police disbursed thousands of striking teachers with tear gas in and water can options. the force ended a three-week protest against the country's educational reform. anna rainy reports. >> the beginning of the end of a month-long protest. thousands of riot police cleared the plaza on friday. their move was steady, quick and efficient: in the lead-up to the confrontation, many wielding makeshift weapons said they would stand their ground. >> we will not let them take the plaza away from us. the plaza is ours. it belongs to the people. >> but the police had given the teachers an ult i am atum.

leave peacefully or be removed by force. we spoke to one of the leaders before the police swept in. >> the laws were imposed, unjust laws. they did not take into account the opinions of teachers and parents. >> the clock was running out for the teachers. mexico kicks off independence days on sunday and the government promised celebrations would take place. the teachers mainlied from poor southern states had descended on the capitol to block the education reforms. teachers in mexico often hold strikes. when the law was enacted, they promised to have it repealed. they were particularly opposed to teacher valuations. a first step, they said, to school privatization. the president said teachers need to do a better job of educating mexican children. the push didn't end at the zokolo. >> after being pushed out of the main plaza.

hundreds of teachers spread across the city center and thousands of riot police deployed across the capitol to try to get them out. >> despite the weeks of protests, police had been hesitant to use force to dislog the teachers. mexico has a history of massacres at protests from the 1960s and '70s. it could be a win-win for both the teachers and the government. the teachers can say they didn't back down. the police can say they showed restraint. once the teachers regroup, they will have to decide whether to return to their classes or keetch up their fight against the government. adam marini, mexico city soldiers in the southern philippines are pushing into rebel-held territory to try to end a 6-day stand-off. more than 50 people have been killed and 60,000 evacuated from the southern city of zomboanga >> reporter: the uncertainty is putting a strain on this family.

civilians hostage. >> this is not an issue of religion for we have co-existed peacefully and worked harmoniously. this is an issue of people with misguided principles. >> they are granding the implementation of a 1996 piece agreement it signed with the philippine government but was never fully implemented. it opposes peace talks with the breakaway group of islamic fighters and from the philippines. a cease fire had been announced by the vice president but the military did not observe the peace fire saying it was following orders issued by the president. the political divide has caused confusion on the ground. the military has not retreated and the fighting has not stopped. for you for the many people here, they see the conflict has little to do with them. all they want is to be able to live in peace.
