costing live from moscow twenty four hours a day this is. russian officials are in damascus to work out a plan for syria's chemical weapons around they've already met with syrian president bashar assad the u.n. resolution to go along with a hand isn't ready for members to vote on yet the use of force is still a major point of contention for the security council more questions also over who carried out a chemical attack in august. first now america any any major breakthroughs at these talks in damascus. well kerry yes we know that we just heard now that russia's foreign minister sergey

lavrov said that russia will tourists for the evidence that it received from the syrian government according to each as the syrian government has the the rabble the radical rebels i'll be hind the deadly chemical attack here in syria last month which are reportedly killed hundreds of civilians including children to the u.n. security council so the russian officials confirmed that they received this evidence and now we know that they are ready to transfer it to the u.n. security council and that is a breakthrough in the situation of course because we know that so far a u.n. probe confirmed that sarin gas was used here in syria last month but it didn't answer the question exactly who is responsible indication from where the rockets were launched was neither pinpointed by u.n.

investigators although their findings clearly state that the sorry gas. warheads could have been. made and not factory produces that but despite all of these the u.s. and its allies were very quiett following the reports of u.n. to claim that this is enough to blame the assad government for their attack here in syria last month this is something russia is strongly opposing to. saying that on the contrary the reason mounting evidence that the radical rebels hind this atrocity in an interview to be russia's deputy foreign minister said again quote who is now here in damascus for talks with top politicians. of syria to discuss the deal on chemical weapons design them and sad that the u.n. report is biased and one sided let's note here what exactly he has to say about

that. for war stories are you two or one. conclusion drawn. birds are not we are mean are we the from her reaching. for eastern on the beaches or what we believe is a record. of over that mound the river from asia in winter to question where it is reported. for members there will be or are we begin talking on what to do next we need to figure out why it is for a war and why any group will your for not go or even know your true fear to continue for geisha not heard of it for free. or to search.

for. what we heard from a france's foreign minister that. it is very much concerned with the russian position saying that it is not really very right to side to call the un report one sided well the syrian government position is that the radical rebels are behind the august talk here in the country and i have to say that this point of view is not very popular in the west although this opinion is shared now by some of the members of the u.s. intelligence community who warned the white house that they have indications they have proves that the rebels behind this attack and moreover that they have information that the nerve gas was provided for the rebels from abroad and recently also we saw. another confirmed i meant to food online

apparently showing de hadas syrian jihad. wearing gas masks and to fire and rebel rockets and shells in the middle of the night and it says that this video was short on the twenty first of august the date of this deadly chemical attack that provoked this international residents and reportedly killed many many civilians including children well the raw still many questions in this story in this is why most is continuing to call for a. rest a geisha in order to determine who exactly is responsible for the attack in august and who was behind that turmeric from the arsenal are from the syrian capital damascus thank you. to the rebels even have access to chemical weapons what a fool a pentagon official says yes. he said it was a classified u.s. intelligence document deterring they could have changed sarin gas i call it.

revealed where this compound was produced and you can see how it was allegedly manufactured in iraq and taken to turkey before going on to syria before the documents obtained by sarin was confiscated from radicals auntie's has more now on these claims. in may there were reports coming out from suggesting that a two kilogram cylinder of sarin gas was discovered in the homes of syrian opposition and rebels connected with al qaeda through the al nasra front now at the time russia called for an investigation into those reports but. actually denied that the reports were true and said that no such weapons had been found but analyst michael maloof explains the bodies indeed a possibility i have. a report from a source who has direct connections with. classified information and he basically

told me that the u.s. military did an assessment based upon fifty indicators and clandestine interviews that the sourcing siren originated out of iraq into turkey before some of it was confiscated in may in turkey and that there has actually been a more significant amount of crn production both in iraq and in turkey going to the going to the opposition principally al-qaeda and we've had separate reports now that al-qaeda elements are rather significant numbers and have and now have permeated into the opposition so the ability to be able to. distinguish who gets what and where is going makes it much more problematic for this administration. to the pens are going to bow out that leaked document that the

defense department said they don't comment on intelligence matters. well some news just in a passenger trains collided with a city bus in the canadian capital autoworker these are live pictures from that incident five people have been reportedly killed in the crash the train derailed after hitting the double decker bus at a level crossing far far has now been seized as you can see are now at the scene of course we keep you up to date on that as more information comes in. to brazil now where the country wants to go to their own from the global web and create its variants cyberspace it isn't comes after the n.s.a. spy scandal angered the latin american country even prompting president duma who's to postpone her official meeting of the brac about her in the u.s. and marina portnoy now reports brazil is determined to ensure its online security.
