like al-nusra and they say they should target i.s.i.l. and no other groups and french president is meeting russia leader vladimir putin and we will go to the capitol in just a moment but this report from our diplomatic editor james base. >> reporter: world leaders have been in new york and said their priorities to get peace efforts going in syria so while they have been here what has changed? the answer is this, whether they were trying to coincide with this global gathering or not russian air strikes in syria are a game changer. the u.s. says they add gasoline to the fire of a wall already 4 1/2 years old and russia says it's a positive step aimed at those they label terrorists and they were invited in by president assad and does that mean the enemies and groups

supported by the u.s., i tried to get clarity from the russian foreign minister. >> in addition to i.s.i.l. which specific groups in syria do you believe to better terrorists? >> if it looks like a terrorist and acts and fights like a terrorist it's a terrorist. the representatives of the command have always said their targets are i.s.i.l., al-news yeah and other terrorists groups and we see eye to eye with the coalition on this one. >> reporter: on the biggest issue of all president assad's future role there is no agreement and to explain the reasons for russia's policy on this mr. lavrov used the example of the arab world. >> is iraq a better and safer place, gadhafi murdered in front

of the viewers. is it really a better place? now with assad, can we try to draw lessons, you know. >> reporter: there are two new initiatives that have been put forward during the u.n. general assembly but in my view neither is one that can stop the blood shed in syria and one is a new draft resolution russia put forward to the u.n. security council on encountering them and one is key and regional players but as the u.s. allies on syria arrive for a meeting a diplomate from one of the countries told me a contact group is usually used for an agreed plan but right now there is very little the u.s. and russia agree on and despite over 250,000 deaths there is no real international strategy, james base, al jazeera, the united nations.

and al jazeera's dana is monitoring the situation for us in neighboring lebanon and it's the third day of strikes and what have you learned as far as the situation on the ground is concerned? >> well, i can mention the third day of air strikes, a new wave of air strikes by the russian defense ministry saying since last night there were 18 authorities and 12 i.s.i.l. targets were hit, according to the defense ministry the targets were in the provinces of idlib in the north of the country as well as aleppo and hama and no mention of what the observatory is reporting and that group is saying russian war planes were active over rika which is an i.s.i.l. stronghold according to the observatory and there were strikes in rika as well as another town in the eastern countryside of homs, two

i.s.i.l. strongholds but i mentioned the russian defense ministry has not yet confirmed whether or not this is true. but if it is it would really mark the first time the air strikes are targeting an area where i.s.i.l. really has a strong presence, i.s.i.l. does not have any presence in idlib or in the hama countryside and this really raised a lot of questions about russia's aerial campaign and focus in the opposition have been telling me that you know their aim is not just to target i.s.i.l. and get rid of what they are calling and what is left of the opposition in order to help the syrian president bashar al-assad but russians are making it very clear, for them the terrorists on the ground are not just i.s.i.l. but other groups as well and this is causing a lot of anxiety among syrians and what we do know is that two groups which were trained and supplied by the u.s. military, their bases were targeted.

i spoke to the commanders of both of these groups and are wondering why are they being targeted in this campaign. >> dana is live for us in beirut and regional players like saudi arabia have once again reiterated but the only solution to the conflict is telling president bashar al-assad to go. >> the solution is a political one and to maintain syria and preserve the state institutions, the civil and military and to form a transitional council with bashar al-assad and those stained with blood have my place. >> let's speak to u.s. assist and of state under george w bush and brigadier general and thank you for being on al jazeera russia military actions in syria clearly raised the stakes there and what is russia intention

there is it about propping up assad or do they have wider diplomatic goals? >> i think they have larger strategic in reinserting themselves in the middle east and becoming a power broker in the region but within syria itself it's not just about propping up assad as secretary lavrov said they will maintain syria and don't have the same feeling that turkey and france does that assad must go and they see the alternatives to assad as being more stabilizing of assad through the process. >> we have heard language from turkey, saudi arabia as well along with france, putin is in paris today and what do we expect to come out of the meeting and do we see the french take the lead on this? >> french is clear that assad

must go and have criminal charges against assad pending and like turkey for a long time focused their efforts on removing assad. the russians by contrast are focused on maintaining the stability of the assad regime and the unity of syria, so it should be a clash between the views and how best to make sure that syria after assad does not look like another somalia on the mediterranean. >> more and more on the opposition feel the u.s. is abandoning them, what is correspondent dana was telling us a short while ago and we have the u.s. having to make a choice of whether to continue with their air strikes in syria and iraq against i.s.i.l. and with confrontation with the russians in syria or accept the idea that assad is not going anywhere any time soon, which do you think is the better choice for the americans right now? >> well, at this point i think there is really a third choice and that is to accept the

presence of russians and russian activities and work very closely with the russians to ensure that even though we may have somewhat divergent goals that at least we de-conflict to have the russians and americans bumping into each other over the skies of syria. the ultimate outcome that both russia and the united states seek which is the defeat and destruction of i.s.i.l. can be done jointly and can be done together but there will have to be some diplomate, work between the russias and the americans and the entire coalition to ensure that that can be done either with the presence or the eventual stepping down or off ramp of assad from syria because the worst possible outcome is assad gone and unstable syria with somalia.

as i mentioned syria is on the agenda of a meeting in paris between the french president and his russian counterpart vladimir putin and joined by angela merkel and poroshenko to discuss the situation in ukraine and we are in paris and joins us live and the meeting in paris was called but over shadowed by the crisis in russia and the russian air strikes will there be a dialog on russia's intervention in syria? >> well, inevitably this is the first meeting since they launched air strikes against syria, syria of course will be high on the list of things to be discussed here in paris and talks about finding a peaceful solution to the conflict in ukraine altogether.

over the year course of the afternoon we expect to see bilateral talks taking place between the french president and putin and chancellor angela merkel and remember in the last 24 hours tensions between the west and russia have significantly ramped up after russia admitted that it was targeting more than just i.s.i.l. targets in syria. the concern of the united states of course being that u.s.-backed syrian rebel targets would also likely to be hit so tensions within those bilateral meetings between putin alone and putin and merkel are expected to be very high indeed, the message from western powers is likely to be that air strikes against targets in syria by the russians are endiscrimite and the response from russia is likely to be the only way to bring

about lasting peace in syria is to back assad and the information that we have gained this morning suggests that the russian air strikes will continue for somewhere between 3-5 months. >> and ukraine the month-long ceasefire is holding and how to people expect to turn the truce into lasting peace? >> well, in many ways the normady four have a lot to be happy with, the truce that came into force on september the first is now largely holding, giving very much some breathing space for the politician, for the leaders of the normady countries to be able to broker lasting peace and introduce elements of the minsk two agreement, that agreement was signed at the beginning of the year in february and fell by the way side as continued fighting erupted between the separatist fighters and the ukraine central

government forces and within those 13 points are issues to do with border controls between ukraine and russia, instructions to withdraw heavy weaponry and contention point of introducing elections also in separatist-held parts of the country. but for more on what it means for eastern ukraine here is my report. >> the latest ceasefire in eastern ukraine has opened up vital space for diplomacy and when the normady four meet here is the palace and looking for lasting peace. when the leaders of france germany and ukraine met in minsk they were 15 hours in talk befores announcing a breakthrough but the truce collapsed almost immediately amid further fighting and last month both sides agreed to try again offering thousands of people trapped by the conflict a hope of return to normal life, so far the ceasefire appears to

be holding. for now the normady four has a chance to give it a go includes 13 key points including withdraw of heavy weaponry and foreign fighters from the conflict zone, control of russia, ukrainian border and regular elections in parts of the country controlled by the separatist and with tensions as they currently are the road ahead is challenging. >> the key issue here is the control of the ukrainian-russian border because ukraine believes once they have control over this border then they are controlling what is going in and out and so they are controlling the supply lines from russia to the rebel held regions. >> in return for holding up to the agreement they are asking for an easing of international sanctions that have hit the country's economy hard. since the conflict in eastern

ukraine began last april 8,000 soldiers and civilians have been killed and towns and villages have been laid by endiscrimite shelling and neither want to continue fighting is a first step and reconciliation may be harder to reach. well, here in paris with both ukraine and syria high on the list of things to be discussed by the normady four countries it does raise some big questions as to whether or not the two conflicts are now in any way linked and separatists and eastern ukraine eying russia's involvement with great curiosity and wondering whether or not russia will continue to play a role in helping and supplying the separatists in their aim of establishing an independent region. but as russia's air strikes continue and are expected to

continue now for several months the question really is now what will russia's next move be in terms of both syria and ukraine? >> lee barker in paris thank you very much. still ahead on the al jazeera news hour why some panel groups in sri lanka are angry with the u.n. council and rugby world cup and if canada will be a serious challenge. ♪ first to the u.s. where nine people have been killed in the state of oregon after a gunman walked into a community college and opened fire, president barack obama has made a plea to the american public to help stop gun violence. ♪ amazing grace candlelight vigil held for the

year and over 80,000 are injured, this is a yearly, daily occurrence in the united states and unless people actually start to make this an issue and they vote, the members of congress out who refuse to take action we are not going to see change but states like new york are making positive change and we have the third lowest gun death in the nation and no mass shootings at schools for many years because strong, smart gun laws work and i think congress needs to get the same message. israeli prime minister has again argued against the i ran iranian nuclear deal and said they will do whatever it takes to defend itself. >> israel will not allow iran to break in, to sneak in or to walk into the nuclear weapons club. 70 years after the murder of 6 million jews iran's rulers

ambitions on energy and similar ambitions on improving this and for both countries india and china have far more ambition than the united states so in some way india's indc is similar to china but better than the u.s. >> are the targets too ambitious especially when you consider that at least 300 million indians still have no access to electricity and the government is still planning to expand coal power to satisfy the country eastern -- country energy needs. >> in india we need more energy and they want energy and the reality of climate change so india has tried to balance all these three things and therefore we don't have oil, we don't have gas and india said we will have more coal but we will have more renewable energy and increase in

solar and wind capacity and india needs all sources of energy to meet the energy needs of its people. >> what about a solid deal in paris in december? >> that is a very good question, if you now look at the world, 85% of the media polluters and we have models saying if you add up the countries it's far short of meeting the two degree temperature rise target. trajectory is far off that and in paris there should be reality check and the leaders should basically sit together and see that how do we increase the ambition on countries and every country will have to increase their ambition if you really want to tackle the challenge of climate change. >> center for science and environment in new deli and
