syria formally agrees to russia's proposal to hand over its chemical weapons to the u.n. potentially pushing washington back from its threats to launch military strikes. the sources suggest that rebels in syria are planning to launch a chemical attack on israel designed to look like it was carried out by government . and in no way an anti immigration party is set to join the new coalition government to form a member and braving killed dozens in a crusade against multiculturalism we look at europe's shift to the right story.

from a studio center here in moscow which just turned eleven pm this is r.t. with international news and comment in his first public comments in syria agreed to hand over its stocks of chemical weapons to the international community russia's president admitted the plan was discussed on the sidelines of last week's g. twenty meeting in st petersburg as part of a bid to stop the u.s. launching military strikes well let's get more on what vladimir putin had to say from. well it certainly has been a fast paced fast developing news story in regards to the syrian crisis and now we're hearing from the president vladimir putin him self on the topic in interview with r t he said that it is well known that the syrian regime possesses chemical weapons that they keep as a counter to the nuclear threat from israel now russia's position is clear that

they are against weapons of mass destructions in the pool live for ration of chemical weapons and a nuclear weapons and that the idea of this proposal of syria handing over their chemical weapons arsenal was a good one and one that has been discussed for quite some time illustrating the fact that the united states and russia have actually been partnering partnering on this from the beginning take a listen to what he had to say it was. a busy city. we've heard a positive reaction from syria to the chemical weapons destruction offer we're now hoping that our syrian colleagues will make a responsible decision to put their stockpiles under control agreed to destroy them enjoying the chemical weapons nonproliferation treaty no doubt it can only work if we get the u.s. and its allies to agree not to use force the president went on to say that he used at the opportunity of it john kerry the secretary of state the united states

a comments on september ninth as an opportunity to jump on this because the syrian foreign minister was in russia at the time is still in russia and he proposed it to the syrian foreign minister he reacted to it positively and said that this is a big move towards peace in the region but the present a word of warning for the west let's listen to his words but we did talk about the since you had the g. twenty summit and we agreed that it will work in the direction and we'll have the secretary of state and russian foreign minister to try and move this forward on september the ninth we've heard kerry statement about the importance of the solution and we agreed and then bloodied approach and continued to say that they will keep on working with syria and of their partners in the united states to try and come up with a peaceful solution to the syrian crisis and hopes that this particular move and this idea of bringing all of syria's chemical weapons to international possession

is a positive step towards diplomacy. thomas there will russia nel says that sergei lavrov will meet his counterpart john kerry on a one to one discussion over syria very soon will all these developments they would put the american president in a tough spot as he prepares to address the nation barack obama's military plans have been stalled but the white house still wants to keep the pressure on assad now that means is unlikely to be able to deliver the same call to arms as his predecessors. my fellow citizens my fellow americans i want to talk to you today about brutal massacre of iraq. forces against ranking selected targets of military importance to diffuse a powder keg at the heart of europe to help bring peace to get the food through may god bless our country. and all who defend. joins me now to talk about the u.s. president's primetime speech for later tonight and what we can expect from it so we

just look back at some of his predecessors and what they had to say when they were facing military action in comparison want to dress be looking to the right. but it looks as if i can hear me we just spoke to each other a couple of seconds ago you were there can you hear me now. yeah i was just saying that we're just. talking about. their sentiments as they were facing military action in comparison was a bar was addressed looked like tonight. well that's why he's facing a very very skeptical audience here first of all the nation does not really know where the president is really standing he has agreed to the proposal that russia put forward that will involve the international community taking control of syria's chemical weapons but he's still seeking an authorization for strikes and this today again we heard john kerry chuck hagel and martin dempsey making the case for

strikes but they're adding a new twist to it and that is the need they need that they need the authorization to make sure the proposal work and some argue that it may be an easier sell in congress because up to up until this point it was clear that president obama would lose the vote in congress would most likely lose the vote in congress at least in the house of representatives now a resolution is in the works over right now that would essentially give thirty days for the u.s. president to decide whether the proposal is working and if he decides that syria is not complying with the initiative he will have the authority to strike now this can be a dangerous language because congress gave a similar also was issued with regard to saddam hussein's weapons of mass destruction the u.n. to care of it destroyed them in the years later the u.s. said we believe that he still. has them and went ahead and attacked iraq anyway many in congress say the best outcome would be for the president to see where this

is going and then come back for an authorization with some facts at hand now that should be said that the obama administration has real problems with presenting facts their evidence supposedly implicating the assad government in these attacks is all classified there refused to take the classified evidence to the u.n. security council they refused to show it to the american people and they're just asking everybody to take their word for it and watch the horrible youtube videos that's what the case is based on not taking into account what implications a u.s. attack would have on the syrian people as well as on the international on international law because washington has shunned discredited the u.n. altogether in all this and finally in the face. likely defeat in congress the administration agrees to engage the international community and that's why many called this proposal a life raft if you will for president obama now it's all going to be about who the judgment on whether or not the proposal is working will belong to eventually is it going to be the uighurs which has

a track record of jumping to bombs as the first option or the international community which has the real interesting resolving the crisis in syria and making sure that the weapons are not used again thanks very much indeed for that live there from washington are he's going to church can well over the past few days we've been showing you public opinion polls from the u.s. which indicate that more than half of those who took part in them do not support a military strike in syria and that sentiment is reflected in the bombers sliding approval ratings too right now forty four percent of americans are happy with the job that their leader is doing at the moment but nearly hauffe on lot and this means that his current ratings match the lows he hit two years ago that's almost a reversal from how things were back recently in june of this year and you can see more people approved obama's efforts back then well on top of that his foreign policy rating has never been worse it's at forty percent and has experienced a steady decline since the start of the year while journalist and broadcaster neil

clark has said the bomber is stuck trying to cater to a small group of politicians who want war but also to others who don't he spoke to us earlier from oxford in the u.k. . u.s. position is very incoherent isn't it because we're having different things said it in different times of the day yesterday we had john kerry saying that if syria gave up its chemical weapons that could stop the war and then they would do that and then there was a sort of backtracking saying it was a rhetorical argument now we're hearing from president obama that it would make a difference and that plans could be put on hold of course the washington elite is very divided that's why there is this incoherence because you've got on one hand the more cautious elements in the washington elite who are really worried about the consequences of attacking syria and on the other hand you've got these fanatical crazed neo con hawks who are desperate at all costs whatever the cost even of risking world war three to provoke war with syria so a bomber you know one one minute he's sort of siding with the hawks the other minute he's siding with a more cautious voices and i think the incoherence stems from the fact that the

elites are divided in washington as to what to do next really it's been a slow global awakening as to the neocon agenda people have woken up after war after war after war people across the world are finally saying no no more war and the elites in washington fought this problem they would love to bring about regime change in damascus they really want that the only thing that could have been better by is war but the public are seventy eighty percent against war so they've got this big problem now the elites across the western world really. so russia is rejecting a u.n. draft resolution from france because it mentions chapter seven of the u.n. charter which employs the use of force let's remind you when and where this is being used in the past besides military force chapter seven allows for various sanctions and it was last used against libya two years ago paved the way for coalition forces to go into iraq and also kuwait that was back in one thousand nine hundred one as well as the invasion of iraq again twelve years later back in the early one hundred fifty s. this part of the u.n.

charter also became the basis for the korean war well what would be looking at the general mood about syria in the u.s. house and the senate let's get an opinion from the other end of the political spectrum called hell is executive director of the libertarian party and joins me live now from washington. i know that your party is against military involvement there in syria what do you think about this proposal to remove chemical weapons held by the assad government well the one hand it's an improvement it looks like it weakens the chance that that new u.s. military will actually strike syria which is good news on the other hand it's also more entangling alliances where the u.s. does not belong or the libertarian party calls for our complete withdrawal from the region and to stop engaging in the. even these negotiations which are premised on a threat issued by president obama during a so-called red line and that's completely inappropriate unconstitutional and out

of line with what americans want which is we want our leaders to focus on domestic issues and to reduce government of both domestically and internationally not increase it but obama's reacting to a humanitarian crisis the use of chemical weapons so in future how should america then react when another country reportedly uses chemical weapons or indeed if they used again in syria just stand back and do nothing. we should allow citizens individually representing themselves not the country do whatever they so choose to donate if they want to go and help one side or the other they should be free to do that but no one representing the united states should be getting involved in a country where we have no interest and where there are we can expect based on the results of our past intervention so you know in a source who is right now we're just a ball of it said this was a security issue this was of national security interest to the us the use of

chemical weapons is threatens not just people in syria but other countries too well that's. invading as a security risk and very possibly more so more of one because look what's happened to you know our continued intervening in the middle east resulted in the nine eleven strikes a very possibly blowback from our intervention this makes us less secure but do expect to boma now to change course away from calling for intervention in his televised address to the nation to u.-turn but certainly a change in sentiment. not sure what he's going to do. certainly it's embarrassing that he's been waffling the way he has been and that is so-called off the cuff comment from his secretary of state would change the course of events is seems pretty amateurish but more importantly we're talking about lives at stake we're talking about the possibility of innocent people being killed if there are any kind of strikes and that is not acceptable and so we need to he needs to man up

and do the right thing not the face saving thing and the right thing is to recognize that our intervention is a mistake our threats are in the stake and that we need to take a neutral position on these issues and mine our own affairs domestically not intervene abroad or your thoughts echoed amongst many other american politicians of course we we we know what some think could be and indeed in the senate certainly the leaders there just briefly how do you think the vote really will go among the full spectrum of politicians in the states. well it's been changing and it might depend on what they end up proposing and amending and so forth i think politicians are inclined to support the president and inclined to do whatever will spend more money because virtually all of them are almost all of them are invested in the military industrial complex here in the united states but they're also reacting to

pressure from home many are up for elections next year and the people don't want this people of the united states want peace despite our government's very different behavior around the world that is not what americans want want once they enter into a war many in america tend to just be silent because they don't want to put our servicemen and women at risk so they'll just stop talking about it once the strike occurs and we need to make sure that doesn't happen called a really good to talk to you thank you very much indeed executive director of the u.s. military policy joining us live from washington thank you well earlier today i spoke to the way he's a spokesman from the free syrian army know asked him if there's a chance for donald now that assad has agreed to hand over the country's chemical stockpiles. actually within that understand only one logic that they don't understand anything about their chemical all the other stuff it's about but. by the assad regime to say yes we agree with this

initiative proposed by the russians now and would that not then pave the way to more diplomatic diplomacy and more talks with the f.s.a. engage in dialogue regime his lying. about that he just want to buy time we don't trust. all his light. all the time for us we will not go in and if we will hold our people of blood for sure we want. to support solution in syria we are not fighting just for a fight we are not fighting because we love to hold guns. we need a solution in syria but the solution is start. people to. people to live peacefully and to build their democracy and to build their own. online at the moment reporting that many experts have expressed doubts over the veracity of those images and videos show victims of the alleged chemical attack in

syria the full story right now and also. happening in and around syria we've got all the updates on our website you can scroll through syria timeline for everything you need to know it's on. dot com. but with america blaming the syrian regime for chemical attacks the u.s. national security advisor susan rice expressed concern that israel could also be at risk. the use of chemical weapons also directly threatens our closest ally in the region israel where many boat once again have readied gas masks she's warmed chemicals could easily fall into the hands of terrorists and all t. has received information from a number of sources that rebels are active in syria all planning to launch a chemical attack on israel and it would be used as a provocation against the syrian government. has more now from tel aviv

i've spoken to both the israeli foreign ministry as well as the army spokes persons units and i was asking them for they reaction to the reports we had that and there is an imminent threat being planned by syrian rebels originating in territory to syria that is controlled by the syrian government against israel now the reaction was to quote one of the spokespeople for off aged the response was simply a refusal to comment as of yet no reaction in the israeli press it's difficult to say whether or not we expect such a reaction because very often this country is reluctant to comment publicly certainly the officials don't want to go on record giving any kind of statements of what is happening inside syria but the information we are getting and this is from sources that are. and in syria is that as i say this attack would have originate in said cole controlled territory but it will be carried out by the rebels the result of this is that the blame will be for me put on the shoulders of the assad regime

now at the same time the important point to make is that there has been a report that has just been released by the leading israeli counterterrorist think tank and this report does talk about the possibility of unconventional weapons forming into the hands of terrorist groups inside syria israelis are concerned that chemical stockpiles will for you into quote the wrong hands of the police ladies this really is the hands of hezbollah and although israeli officials have not in the past on record admitting this it's widely understood that israel has carried out at least four strikes inside syria at the weapon delivery supplies to to be has by the militants and to the hezbollah organization of course israel would rather prefer assad stay in power there's no love lost between the two countries but it's almost like that old saying be to the devil you know than the devil you don't know from the israeli side i want to also bring you attention to the information we're receiving from a belgian research ship was recently released on

a heading being held captive by syrian rebels inside that country and he was held by them for five months and he has saved that he denying that the syrian president was responsible for this new toys gas attack that took place on a village near damascus in which more than a thousand civilians were allegedly gas today. dominica and i have a moral duty to say that it's not the brush on assad government that you sorry nor any other gas in the damascus suburb of ghouta we're certain in fact conversation we have the hood even though it cost me to say so because i've supported the free syrian army passionately and it's fair fight for democracy. now in this belgian national says he has this information because he overheard a conversation between his captors in which they said as much and that is that they were responsible for this attack but of course we'll stay on top of the situation waiting to see if there's any kind of news radio official reaction to these reports

course defenders of animal rights who don't seem to realize that the sheep would be turned into people of the next few days anyways demanded that you a full officials punish the shock to a club for the actions of individual fans this is the same logic as if someone wearing a sexy tim kirby t. shirt went around robbing liquor stores i am not responsible for the actions of people like this program and it's not like i'd ever advocate robbing liquor stores and i doubt the shocked your management secretly arranged for fans to slaughter the sheep at the stadium when the slaughter of animals is acceptable to you or not well that's one thing but we don't need to regulate the morality of individuals in other countries via soccer especially if that regulation means punishing the football clubs who are responsible for the actions of individuals but that's just my opinion . dramas that can't be ignored. stories others refuse
