james bayes is live at the un building in new york.ames put this in some perspective for us. >> this i think shows us what the un and the un secretary general really think, ban ki-moon addressing a forum meeting in a committee room at the united nations. the electronic sign said it was a closed meeting. he did not think that he was being broadcast. he didn't think his comments were public, and he thought, i think, his comments were off of the record, yet those comments were broadcast around the un, so everyone could hear those comments. and ban ki-moon is always very, very measured when he talks about these things. because the un has to be an honest broker. so ban ki-moon has to be even handed, and yet now he has said in these comments we believes the assad regime is responsible for crimes against humanity, and he is also saying that the report, which he hasn't received yet from the un weapons inspector, he says that report will overwhelmingly show that chemical weapons were used. i think an embarrassing day for the united nations. we'

very important and crucial. >> thank you, foreign minister, thank you. >> diplomatic editor james bayes. what the foreign minister of syria had to say was interesting because he said that the country will comply with the security council resolution, which is about to be voted on. you can see the ambassadors gathering in the chamber. the last question is the key one that james asked. he asked whether or not the foreign minister thought that sacrificing bashar al-assad as leader of syria was something that may be possible in geneva ii, which is the peace conference coming up in geneva on syria in a couple of weeks time. you heard his answer there, that it's part of the syrian constitution - it's not possible to remove bashar al-assad from power in syria. that could be a problem down the road. for tonight. here we are at the un security council with the ambassadors, preparing to sit at the table. it's an historic event because mostly when the votes take place, the various countries, particularly britain, france, united states, russia and china, the permanent five are represented by the amb

. >> james bayes at the un. >> the president of iran is specifically mentioning the key sticking pointst his country has with the international community, talking about the situation in syria, talking about his nuclear program, and talking about iran's relations with the u.s., making it quite clear it is time to talk and he wants engagement with western countries. his foreign minister is here in new york doing the rounds. we believe the foreign minister will be sitting down with the european union. but the white house is saying there is no meeted scheduled now. but it's worth making the point that when all of the world leaders wrath gather as they do every year here, it's just possible that people can bump into other leaders that they didn't expect to meet. >>> the lapd could soon give 007 a run for his money. the james bond style technology and how it is expected to help the police and the public. on august 20th, al jazeera america introduced a new voice in journalism. >> good evening everyone, welcome to al jazeera. >> usa today says: >> ...writes the columbia journalism review. and t

james bayes as the international reaction. >> a flurry of responses was prompted by these comments. >sure he can turn over all of his weapons to the international community in the next week, turn it over all of it without delay and allow a total accounting for that, but he isn't about to do it. >> the state department later said kerry's ultimatum was just a rhetorical flourish. but it was picked up by russia. >> translaor: john kerry made an announcement stating the attacks on syria could be avoided if damascus hands over all of his chemical weapons we don't know if syria will do that, but if they will, we'll work with them to achieve that. >> reporter: and then this man reportedly welcomed the proposal, but it's far from clear whether that means the regime could agree. the next of event was in new york. >> i'm considring urging the security council to demand the immediate transport of syria's chemical weapons to places inside of syria, where they can be safely stored and destroyed. >> if syria says yes to transferring its stocks, how quickly can you, the un take control of those stoc
