7:01 pm
live from moscow twenty four seven you're watching r t i'm kerry johnston. u.s. secretary of state john kerry has set off on a european tour in an attempt to gather support from the american strike against syria while the east foreign policy chief has agreed that some form of action should be taken to specify that any decision should be made with the u.n. agreement of president obama hasn't had much success in enlisting backers for an armed intervention in the past two days he failed to get full scale support of the g twenty summit in st petersburg well however he did manage to get eleven nations supporting a call for tough action against syria but the statement stopped short of explicitly approving that military intervention which is what the u.s. is demanding international opinion polls also show strong opposition to any armed assault in the u.s.
7:02 pm
fifty six percent said no to any form of military action in syria and more than sixty percent of french people are against a vast majority of those surveyed in the u.k. said any move must have the green light from the u.n. a similar sentiment shared in germany and turkey for the g. twenty nations that were against the agreement to account for some three billion people and it seems that many in the rest of the world also don't want to see the u.s. progress with its plan meanwhile protests have been held in several countries against an assault on syria and though we have some pictures from around the world now about this well the anti war sentiment is being felt in washington with the crowd outside the white house sending a message to congress but also similar rallies in new york and on the other side of the atlantic in london and paris tens of thousands of people gathered that sent peter's square in the vatican for a peace vigil making it one of the largest rallies against the proposed u.s. military strike on syria even celebrities have been speaking out handwritten note
7:03 pm
from a donor here expressing her opposition to american involvement artie's alexy are has been instant petersburg one of the meetings of the g. twenty leaders. everyone is speculating who won the standoff or a bomb on the syria issue i went to the press this morning and the majority have been saying that initial plan was to disrupt. the military intervention into syria then indeed putin has prevailed in that we do know of course a lot of discord between the g twenty countries on whether a military strike against syria is needed and clearly the biggest concern was whether we'll have a meeting at all because officially they have no meeting scheduled something unprecedented for the president of the united states and russia but eventually according to. themselves they met for a twenty thirty minute friendly conversation during which of course they discussed
7:04 pm
syria indeed. the summit coming here he was hoping that he could persuade the countries of the need to attack syria that he would provide the substantial evidence of bashar al assad using chemical weapons against the rebels but clearly judging by what the russian president said on that matter it seems that obama failed on that sense. i view everything that happened with the so-called use of chemical weapons in syria as a provocation by the rebels who count on help from abroad from those countries that originally supported them that's the reason for this provocation i also want to remind you that the use of force against a sovereign state is acceptable only if it's done for self-defense and we know that syria hasn't attacked the u.s. and only if the u.n. security council approves such action as one of the participants of our discussions on the issue put it those who do otherwise put themselves above the law still david cameron barack obama and. the french president they still try to play hardball
7:05 pm
saying that the u.n. security council decision may be overruled if they believe that again syria is needed russian president said that this may join. rate a great feeling of here among the smaller countries obviously suggesting that bigger states may actually do whatever they want overruling the mandate of the united nations in the us obviously now that the g twenty summit is done will enforce some several very interesting weeks just see how the future of syria will be resolved so distinct lack of support for us not initiative on attacking syria will even damage belton based journalist who has been closely following developments in the country he says that the nations are wary of empowering radical elements in the syrian opposition if they decide to support an american operation. witnessing a remarkable moments in remarkable days. in international politics it's on the scene for a british polman to oppose the united states in
7:06 pm
a very crucial matter talking syria or not we see other countries saying oh we can only do something militarily when the united nations a great many people see the united states is siding with geologists who are creating problems in europe small problem compared to the middle east whether we're creating a ready problems with terror attacks and so on german trains the attempt of the united states to install islamists so everywhere in the middle east in egypt in tunisia iraq and syria. it's contradictory to what europe should want. well meanwhile the ancient christian village of mana and the northwest of syria continues to be caught in a crossfire as government forces attempt to squeeze out how kind and rebels artie's where if

7:10 pm
an operation to clear malula from death had the initial rebels they have been rumors that they have left the village but the army say the militants are still there and even if they leave they can hide in nearby and return how do you think the situation will change in case of american strike will their rivals the mentors from the last three use this opportunity to advance further of course they will america is supporting terrorism in this country we've been fighting with the u.s. in fact for these two and a half years and now we can face them directly but we are ready for that we will not give up if america strikes series major military facilities will be targeted and destroyed no one can say what the war on the ground will look like but certainly things place will no longer look the same. to reporting from syria. it's artie's breath not reporting from out of the village there were clashes are
