♪ president obama and i have repeated his statement, has warned that should diplomacy fail, the military option is still on the table. so we also want to emphasize something else of great importance here. removel of the chemical weapons takes away from assad one of the tools that he has been using against the opposition, against the people of his country to subrogate, oppress their aspirations for freedom and opportunity and a role in the
6:01 am
governance of the country and taken away and will make the opposition safer. but nothing in what we have done is meant to offer any notion to assad there is some legitimacy to his process, that he has some extended period as a leader, so called. we make it clear that assad has lost all legitimacy to be possible to govern this country. and we remain committed to the opposition and committed to the geneva process which calls for a transition government with full executive authority by mutual consent of the parties that will layout the structure for the new syria. that's our end strategic goal here and all of us remain
6:02 am
committed to that goal and committed to ending the violence as soon as possible. we understand that removing the chemical weapons still leafs him with artillery and airplanes and he uses them indiscriminantly against his people and we will do everything in our power to continue to push towards the political resolution that is so critical to ending that violence. we will all be in new york. we will be working with our colleagues there. we will meet with braheemi on the united nations general assembly meetings and do everything in our power to help the people of syria to get out from under this chaos and violence that is creating such a human catastrophe for all of us, not only to witness but to have to deal with.
6:03 am
thank you, laurel. >> translator: we have two questions. so each of the speakers, sir? mr. hague doesn't speak french so i will speak in english. >> secretary kerry you spoke about something quite interesting. in your strategy are you thinking of the christians of syria and lebanon, the result, one of the main results, unfortunately, of seven years of american and english occupation
6:04 am
of iraq is the descimations of christians in iraq and in 75 the christians living together, do you have a plan, a strategy goal, how to protect the christians in syria? and all christian city without any strategy interest has been invoided by eastern and killed people and looted the churches, do you have a plan, a strategy plan for the christians in syria? >> the answer is, yes, but i don't agree with your premise that the christian when it is happening to christians is a
6:05 am
consequence of iraq and there are lots of problems with the war in iraq and we understand them and many of them negative but that is not a direct one. what we have is with a rise of radial islam and religious extreme each and ideological extremism in many parts of not just that region but elsewhere in the world, there is an effort to impose a unity of belief on people, taliban, afghanistan, many other places, where there is not room for what we share as a matter of common values is tolerance and acceptance of people of different faiths and
6:06 am
different beliefs and many other things. regrettably it's not just the christians who have been impacted. it is the drews, the ishmalie and all of the minorities and the irony is they are a minority doing this to these other people for control. for assad's control. so the fact is that the vision of geneva one is a transition to a government that will embrace all of these minorities and protect all of these minorities and allow for a new syria that is diverse and secular and creates a governance process to protect all of the minorities as well as establish rights by which the people will know they can live and participate in the governance of their country, that is the new syria. and the opposition has put out a
6:07 am
very clear set of declaration of principles which they did i believe in aman as well as ankura as well istambul with the commitment of embrace of tolerance, diversity and protection of minorities and full declaration of rights. so that's the distinction here. and i hate to say it, it's not just in syria but it's in parts of the migrab and the sahal and molie that we see a struggle between this extremist, religious advance against plurisim and what we hold dear and we hope people can live
6:08 am
alongside each other and that there are a different set of principles by which the world can organize itself and we have been fighting on these kinds of things for a long period of time, doesn't make them any less valuable today. >> question for the three of you, it seems that the president putin and the secretary of foreign affairs reluctant to any use of force in case the agreement is not respected by bashir assad so aren't we going to this by the russian and chinese by the u.n. security council. >> translator: so the question asked in english i will reply in french. that we have explained the conditions under which this must be done. there has been an agreement that
6:09 am
has come quite far, that was complete in geneva and we thank and congratulate john kerry for his work with mr. lavarof and all of this must be translated through the resolution of the security council. we will be working on it and this evening there will be a report from the u.n. inspectors that will give a lot of details on the massacre on the 21st of august and the coming days, the three of us and then with regards to our other colleagues we will propose a resolution. this resolution will restate points agreed in geneva to places in the context of international law and of course as has been stated in geneva,
6:10 am
this resolution will foresee what will happen if the serians were not to respect their commitments for any resolution that must be sanctions and it is with this in mind that we are working. minister, are you going to mention in this resolution that is not written -- would you state this resolution chapter seven the use of force in the event of the damascus regime not respecting its commitment and mr. kerry and mr. hague and mr. fabious, do you trust vladimir putin with the agreement that it's respected? thank you. >> as a matter of confidence and a matter of verifying and a
6:11 am
matter of specificity of what we do in the resolution and enforcement of the resolution. as i said in geneva there was an old saying from gorbachef of regan and trust and verify. we are talking about verify and verify, not a matter of trust. so we are going to work hard to have a resolution that is as strong and forceful as possible. now russia did agree in geneva that chapter seven is mentioned specifically as the root for compliance if there is noncompliance or any use of chemical weapons by anyone in syria. under both of those circumstances, use of weapon or noncompliance, you are already automatically in chapter seven according to the agreement we came out of geneva with. so that mention is there.
6:12 am
>> reporter: if you joined us you are watching al jazeera and listening to a three-way press conference live from paris between the secretary of state john kerry with his counterpart and his british counterpart william hague. they are discussing how to implement the u.s. plan on syria chemical weapons and agreeing that a strong security council resolution is needed to make syria give up chemical weapons and agreeing the security council resolution needs to be enforcement if pennsylvania does not comply, the meeting is going on all morning in paris and lawrence lee is live for us there and lawrence kerry is saying they are all agreed including russia that there will be session consequences if he
6:13 am
does not give up his chemical weapons. >> yes, i think we have learned some things and a lot of things that are still very much up in the air to be honest at this point. what i think you have really seen today in terms are these three most significant western diplomates trying to speak with one voice, trying to get back on the front foot having been accused of being comprehensively out flanked by the russians diplomately. and to try and suggest that they are going to force the syrian authorities in to doing what they say and the key words repeatedly that came out of the news conference i think were commitment and accountability from john kerry he wanted and william hague binding commitments, a timeframe, and enforcement things so they made sure the syrian authorities weren't playing games with them and behind that as they all said there was the threat of force
6:14 am
and threat of violence against the syrian government if they didn't do these things. the argument is obviously that they wouldn't have gotten this far without the threat of military action. so that is all fine. and i think their aim at this point is to try to get at least to a draft resolution by the end of the week which they can try and get the russian and the chinese to sign up to to get to some sort of deadlines and back in the world of roadmaps, aren't we, the view in the end being they may view this as a platform to try to get to a fresh set of peace talks. underneath that there are some tricky questions unanswered. for example john kerry's assertion that in his view this would make the opposition safer, something to do -- pulling out chemical weapons would be for the opposition and that in his view the assad government still lacks total legitimacy, i think the opposition might disagree with that and certainly the
6:15 am
russians, if not the chinese would probably bulk at the idea that if there were profit talks down the line would the iranians involved in it will be a problem as well. the biggest problem of all is how they will try to organize all these deadlines and timeframes they are talking about. just to give you one example we were wondering this morning exactly when the week deadline begins and end for the syrian government to hand over the list of chemical weapons site, that was agreed between john kerry on saturday because it was assumed if it was a week from saturday then it would end this coming saturday. well, the foreign office in london first of all said to us for our guidance that it wasn't exactly clear that it was saturday until saturday. then they came back and said it was a quote emerging consensus that it would end on saturday but they are saying separately they will agree to things that are agreed by u.n. mandate and
6:16 am
the security council. and so there is already, it seems to me here, a potential disagreement over when that week be gives and end. if the syrians can go to the russians and say that week starts as a point in time when the u.n. security council resolution comes into force and that started to slip. so what is lacking until point you came to me is when the timeframes are and when do they start and finish and how long do they think it will take to get to the positions and exactly what the resolutions that they are talking in such bold terms about are really going to involve. >> reporter: there is clearly a lot of stuff to sort out. a lot of diplomatic maneuvering ahead and lawrence thank you for that, lawrence lee updating us on the press conference which is still continuing in paris. now united nations report to an alleged gas attack in syria will
6:17 am
be unveiled on monday, more than 1400 people are reported to have died in the incident last month on the outskirts of damascus, the u.s. and allies say there is no doubt sources loyal to bashir assad were responsible and u.n. inspectors arrived in syria in march to look at the weapons near alepo but after the attack in buta they shifted the focus and they said chemical weapons were used but not who was responsible for the strike. that was eastern, our reporters reached southern guta, the rebel held area where rebel forces are shelling throughout the morning. >> translator: the buildings as you can see damaged because of the heavy bombing. now you can also see the closed street where the two tanks have been hit by opposition fighters, black smoke is all over the
6:18 am
place because of the shelling. these are the worst hit buildings in this area and if we move this way we might see a big bed of the capitol of damascus. [gunfire] these are just some of the scenes that we have been able to show you on the front lines of the clash in damascus. >> reporter: you are watching the al jazeera news hour, still to come. >> i talked to people and really challenging the straights of op prescription. >> reporter: cries for help and we report from the u.s. state facing a mental health crisis plus. >> i'm nick spicer and the german region and i'll be looking at what the ruling green party here hopes to achieve in the national elections. >> reporter: and in sport find out which brother came out on top in the manning with the denver broncos took on the new york giants and we will have details of this later in the
6:20 am
♪ . >> announcer: this is al jazeera america. we now rejoin this program already in progress. >> get in iraq safely. >> reporter: the human rights group says the military can't distinguish between civilians and rebels worried that civilians may have already been killed. the government may have violated the rules of war by turning the largest hospital in the city into a military garison where soldiers are based and deployed from but they are aware of the rules of engagement. >> these are the things that we don't wish to do. but maybe it's the urgency of
6:21 am
the situation. as much as possible we want to avoid it but unfortunately we are not in a normal situation. we are in a battle area and rest assured we will remind our commanders and our soldiers not to do those things. >> out of the --. >> reporter: they are demanding implementation of a peace agreement it signed with the philippine government in 1996. saying the government has failed to adjust the grievances of the people of the southern philippines. and the peaceful solution here is unlikely. the rebel commander on the ground says his men will fight to the death. and you have been speaking to the rebel commander, what else have you been saying? >> yes, i have spoken earlier to the mmlf commander and the right hand and he is defiant and says he and his people he says are prepared to die and will trust
6:22 am
the government is willing to find a peaceful resolution towards the problem and says the hostages are okay but it doesn't matter whether this will end up in a blood bath he says, even if they die they will be younger fighter who will fight for the moral struggles, struggles for the moral people of the southern philippines and saying he did not act on his own without the founder and he says he is expecting more and more assaults from the philippine military and no surrender for him and his men. >> reporter: thanks very much indeed for that, in zamboanga there. and crews off the coast of italy are trying to pull the cruise liner off the rock, 32 people died in january last year when it hit a reef. and charlie is at the island,
6:23 am
charlie is that operation started yet and how is it going? >> yes, it has started, it started about 7 gmt of a delay of a terrible earlierel storm sending lightning on the island and stopping divers from carrying it out to put the control room in place. i will move so you can see the progress they have made so far. under the bow of the ship there is an orange line. behind that is a line of rust, showing how much they have pulled up under water and the right of that is a control room. it looks like a porta-cabin and there is an remote control and operating this power buckling as they call it in the industry. now, the tension on the cables is immense. this is 150,000 ton ship. and it's never been done on this
6:24 am
scale before. but so far so good. they seem to be out of the danger zone which was the first four-hour period. so it looks like the operation to right the costa could be successful and we will know for sure in another six hours. >> reporter: looks like a painstaking operation, charlie, what happens when they finally get the ship upright again? >> well, the whole operation should take about 12 hours, during that time we could see a slow flow of some dirty water coming out of the ship. but all the debris and the food that has been swirling around inside the cruise ship for the last 20 months once it is upright it will be sitting low if the water and have to be stabilized here until the end of the winter because they can't risk towing it out of here before the weather is clear in the summer. and they are wrangling over which port to take it to and it's 300 meters long and few
6:25 am
ports that are capable of looking after a ship that big, breaking it up, it will be a very lucrative contract whoever gets it so that is a political decision but the people are going to have to wait at least eight months until they are rid of the ship. >> reporter: thanks for that, charlie on gelio island. a storm has forced the evacuation of a quarter of a million households in japan. typhoon made landfall 300 kilometers north of tokyo and warnings are across three places and the river burst the banks flooding communities in the surrounding area. mexico is facing unprecedented extreme weather on two fronts and manuel killed 21 and hurricane ingrid is hours away from making land fall and we
6:26 am
report from mexico city with david. no he doesn't but i have something better we have the weather and those floods in new mexico, who is the latest on that? >> the floods are part of the same system that borders the flooding over parts of colorado. on the satellite picture you see plenty of cloud over the region and giving us heavy downpours and you see the latest bright white area of clouds to the northeast and this is the latest batch of flooding and these are pictures out of new mexico and the rain is pouring here but fortunately new mexico things will improve and not like colorado where the rain continued for several days. in this case the thunderstorms are gradually moving their way to the northeast and that means for many of us in new mexico it should be a lot drier, a handful of showers you may expect this time of year through the next few days and south the weather
6:27 am
here is far more severe. looking at the satellite picture we have plenty of cloud over parts of mexico at the moment and it is giving us very very heavy downpours. in the west, this is manuel, the remains of manuel because it is about just skirted over land and now working its way to the west. this one will move away from us, so shouldn't cause us any more problems, the problems now will be with the amount of rain already on the ground. elsewhere as you can see this other system here just about making landfall in the eastern parts of mexico and that is a hurricane, that is hurricane ingrid and over land it will disintegrate quickly and moves the winds are going to ease and it's the winds that hold the moisture and in the eastern parts of mexico we will see heavy downpours in the next couple of days. we are going to hear more reports of flooding here and many of us across mexico it will be incredibly wet for tuesday and wednesday as well. i'll end with slightly brighter
6:28 am
news for us, we look at the satellite picture over japan, this is the storm and running away to the northeast that means for many of us in japan through tuesday it should be brighter and a lot more calm too. >> thanks for that, and 7 people have been killed in iraq in attacks a car bomb exploded killing five people and two more died and ten others injured when a street cafe was attacked in iran and the wave of bomb ings killed more than 40 people and the bombs were targeting sheer areas. you are watching the al jazeera news hour. still to come here on the program, greek island for sale, a new tax triggers an unprecedented property sell off, we have details on that and we will also have all the sports, team new zeeland, score to the oldest trophy in international
6:30 am
♪ . >> reporter: welcome back, you are watching the al jazeera news hour and this is our top stories now, the u.s. and britain and france say syria will face serious consequences if it fails to comply with a u.n. resolution for the hand over of chemical weapons and paris agreed to boost support for rebels fighting the military. after 300 families are still trapped in the southern philippine city of zamboanga the
6:31 am
fighting between troops has entered the 8th day and mnls fighters say they will not surrender and are prepared to die. and hundreds of workers started pulling the cost, a cruise ship up and 32 died when it hit rocks off the island in january of 2012. so let's get more on our top story now, more than 100,000 people died in syria since the uprising began in 2011. all these images you can see on the wall behind me just a little snapshot of their suffering. right now world powers are concerned about this, that picture there, the 1% of death believes to have been caused by chemical weapon, the so called red line for the united states. and so in paris a short while ago john kerry the u.s. secretary of state is meeting his french and british
6:32 am
counterparts trying to put together a new u.n. resolution on syria, that meeting still underway. here is what they have been saying so far. >> we will not tolerate avoidance or anything less than full compliance by the assad regime to the core principles of what has been achieved and if he fails to comply with the framework we agree and that includes russia there will be consequences should diplomacy fail, the military option is still on the table. >> translator: keep in mind all the options remain on the table if these statements are not followed by concrete actions in the field. this is why france, uk and u.s. wants to obtain from the u.n. security council a strong resolution to support the plan for chemical disarment with the
6:33 am
authority of the council. and there will be serious consequences provided in the resolution if the plans were not implemented. and the resolution will also say that those responsible for the massacre on the 21st of august will be clearly held accountable. >> it is the assad regime that stockpiled weapons and used them repeatedly against the syrian people. so the pressure is on them to comply with this agreement in full. the world must be prepared to hold them to account if they don't. and our three countries are certainly determined to do so. >> reporter: we are joined from london, director of the middle east center of the london school of economics. good to have you on the program. we heard all three politicians from the u.s. and uk and france singing from the same hymn sheet and all making statements they want a strong security council resolution but there is a threat
6:34 am
of some serious consequences if syria doesn't comply. what do you make of that? >> well, several points quickly, i think what you are seeing is that the three foreign ministers wanted to project a unified and united position to the world. they wanted to keep the pressure on the russian and syrian government to deliver and wanted to reassure western allies, turkey and the syrian opposition that the western power of the united states in particular is committed to implementing the russian, american agreement vis-a-vis chemical weapons and it will be enforced by a strong security council, that is the united states is still committed to the use of force if the diplomacy fails. and the symbolism is powerful and strong and the three foreign ministers spoke from one particular page. the reality as you know is very complex. as kerry said and the french
6:35 am
foreigner very complex and very difficult and it's a very difficult process indeed. >> reporter: russia is not going to be happy with talk for example of chapter seven options if syria doesn't give up its chemical weapons within a certain timeframe. >> well, you know, kerry was correct in a way that the russians have agreed in geneva that if the syrian government does not comply, does not dismantle its chemical arsenal the russians would be disposed to basically agreeing to a security council resolution under chapter seven but the russians did not say yes to a security council resolution which threatens force against syria. in the next few days you will see a great deal of bickering and great deal of negotiation, a great deal of disagreements in particular between russia and britain and the united states and the russians.
6:36 am
the process just started. i think the big message that comes out of this particular press conference is that the united states and the european allies are trying to reassure west enallies and the syrian opposition they are fully commits to the dismantling of the chemical arsenal and realize that after you dismantle syria's chemical weapons the war goes on because remember a great deal of time was spent in the last hour or so on the peace conference, on the geneva peace conference. >> i was going to ask you about that because i wonder that there is now more optimism that this geneva conference will go ahead given there has been these agreements between the u.s. and russia. >> and i think really this is the most important point that emerges out of the russian, american agreement in the last 48 hours, the americans and
6:37 am
russians seem to be fully committed to find answers to the tragedy and the like inside syria. i will argue this is a first step. both americans and russians realize that chemical weapons are only one critical element of the equation. as you said yourself, in the last few minutes we estimate more than 100,000 syrians have been killed and fewer than 1500 syrians have been killed by chemical weapons. so even if chemical weapons are dismantled now the war goes on and the killing goes on and that is why in the next few days and next few weeks in the united nations you will see a serious effort on the part of the united states and russia to convene in the so called the second peace conference geneva and the question is as you know the opposition refuses to sit down with the assad government and the assad government says they can win with the terrorism inside syria.
6:38 am
there is a great deal of homework to be done in the next few weeks and months and doubt it's as easy as the three foreign ministers said in pass. >> reporter: thank you for that and speaking to us live from london. and voting for a new parliament and the president front party dominated the assembly since the genicide ended in 1994. and voting has been relatively calm but there was a grenade attack in the capitol over the weekend and let's speak to peter and did that attacker effect the turn out at all? >> doesn't seem to have effected the turn out and speaking to election observers that say things are going smooth and peacefully and the election is not just about polling, it's about the run after the election and we are out looking at some of the campaigning and here is what we found.
6:39 am
♪ the closing campaign rally for the patriotic front had a relaxed feel about it, the celebration of an outcome nobody doubts, the rpf will win the parliamentary election and win it overwhelmingly. the critics say that is because it's a one-party state in all the name and rpf crushes the opposition. the party says that is not true and it points to a constitution that guarantees democracy. >> everyone needs, one person, and the freedom of expression. >> reporter: the social demeanor democratic is the closest and one 14% in the last election and hopes to do better this time around but the leader says the party has the space to campaign but intimidation is not an issue. ♪ this is democracy ruwanda style
6:40 am
and says their role is not to oppose. >> you have democracy is used to say we are bringing a program, we are bringing forward ideas and if we can convince the ideas that is good. >> reporter: critics arrived and said the space for political opposition narrowed drastically and examples of intimidation that they are investigating but anyone who complains of the failure of politics in the country is missing the point. they tried that before and turned out very badly. the genicide museum records the shocking consequences of a political system that divided the country along ethic lines and used democracy to hide a bloody tribal contest for political power. >> from that came that we need to think different in most cases when you have elections you have
6:41 am
this, why? because democratic expressions have been hijacked by ethnic discrimination expiration. >> reporter: they celebrated to keep the status quo and seemed ready to continue the experiment with politics of consensus. >> reporter: so peter if people there seem to be happy with the status quo as far as democracy is concerned, what is it they want to see out of these elections? >> that is a very good question. this election campaign has been about issues of security and economic growth and so on. the problem is because we don't have the kind of opposition politics the adversarial politics of some other campaigns and other countries, and separating the parties into kind of competing ideologys has been very, very difficult. the thing that most people want here above all else is security
6:42 am
and stability. the genicide is still two decades old nearly but people still remember it fresh, you get a sense here that people really don't want to see political confrontation. >> reporter: so when do the polls close and is it i suppose it has taken this is a shoe in for the rooting party? >> that is right. they won 78% in the last election and they don't seem to have lost a great deal of political support and the polls will close in the next 2 1/2 hours or so but the count will take several days and it's a complicated mess they have to go through so it will take some time before we get a result. that really is not expected until later in the week, shirley. >> reporter: thanks peter for that, peter is reporting live in kagalli, the parliamentary elections ongoing in rwanda. and coming up, next we have all the sport for you including the

montana on what mental health experts are calling a major health crisis. >> it's a long road home for matt cumes and growing up in montana he was a star athlete who went on to west point. in 1999 when an injury ended his military career he became suicidal but before he could carry it out, cheering up a depressed neighbor brought him back from the brink. >> somewhere in the process of focusing on his pain i said i'm not going to do it today. >> reporter: his near suicide is all too common in the big sky state. on an average day 15 people try to take their own lives. in 2010, 227 did, nearly double the average, in the west suicide is much more common than the rest of the country. this is exactly what makes montana so magical, the wide open valley and mountains that roll on forever.
6:46 am
but it's also making it lonely place to live and for some people that is overwhelming. >> we take care of own own and getting back on the horse type of mentality. >> reporter: and in montana the clinics are few and far between. >> from washington d.c. to toledo, ohio. >> it's terrible for psychiatric care. >> reporter: from a hotel, i had an appointment with dr. rebecca glading in sacramento. >> technology you can do it from home and office and school. >> reporter: a doctor thousands of miles away cannot change easy access to guns where two thirds of suicides involves a firearm. to try to save lives carl gives

6:48 am
bank and several major institutions collapsed in september 2008. including lehman and merrill lynch and fannie mae and freddie mac and spent $10 trillion dollars and $3,000 for every person on the planet. and lack of credit and government debt and unemployment. and where are we now? for more of the impact of the crisis we are joined from london from information handling service and a research and intelligence organization and good to have you with us. have we learned lessons and is the global financial system more, robust today than five years ago? >> it's changed but similar with very large banks, many have fallen by the way side. many of the independent investment banks have gone and those left had to marry retail banks. but i think the important change in the landscape is the way in
6:49 am
which central banks stepped in to rescue the system for collapseing and succeeded in that. we are slightly safer but not really in a safe place yet with banks and there is still a lot of regulation issues now about how to manage them. >> reporter: you are not filling me with confidence. does that mean that another meltdown is a real possibility? >> well, no, i think central banks in particular stepped in. their balance sheets ballooned and moved into markets where commercial banks have retreated. the u.s. federal reserve is the biggest financial institution in the world. and that includes large expansion of london and the bank of japan. so in a sense the jury is still out. they rescued the system. and it has not fallen down although it has changed. the question is: what happens when the central banks start
6:50 am
withdrawing, taking out their traditional role, will the system, the commercial banks, are they strong enough to carry on? >> you mentioned the u.s. federal reserve and it's interesting that larry summers pulled out of the race for chairman, apparently stocks went up on the news because people believe that policy will be easier for a bit longer. >> yeah, it's an interesting one. i think the problem that summers has is he is a little tainted with his experience in government, also during and before the crisis. and i think the market would prefer someone a little more sober, independent, less connected. and that means that she is going to be policy orthodox from ben bernanke with fewer question marks. >> reporter: good to speak with
6:51 am
you and thank you for that and yan is live from london. well, let's get all the sport now. >> thank you very much. the draw has been held in the last few minutes for the stage of african qualifying for next year's world cup, the ties will decide the five thnations to compete in brazil and face nigeria and having replaced the suspended cape verde and cape verde is still appealing the ban for fielding the player during qualifying. and they will take on egypt for bidding for the first world cup and overcome algeria and it will be october 11-15 and the second legs will follow a month later. and moving on to action from spain and rio were crushed in the division, and the star of
