such caution by the british government as well as the british house of commons about providing lethal support weaponry to the rebels was because of concerns as to the nature of the rebel course now some of them. perfectly respectable secular people i'm told that that is a majority but there are as we now know. people who are equated to the taliban and even more extreme people behind the salafist people attached to al-qaeda so this is another part of the complexity of the syrian situation personally i mean if you take the egyptian situation. you know i thought it was quite right that we backed elections in egypt and i believe that the west as well as a radio should have described what was happening before our eyes which was a military coup against an elected government albeit one people disagreed with the muslim brotherhood in those terms because people's confidence in the idea of democracy is undermined if they think that those outside not least people in the west. want to have it both ways so they should be free. and if they are free of. the results comes through then removing that g

the government bear in mind it's got a big majority normally in the british house of commons that then gets voted down as world our leader ed miliband simply stood up for what's called a point of order after that vote and asked mr cameron whether you could give an undertaking that he wouldn't put british forces into action without a further vote that was all he asked mr cameron used that to read from a prepared text to say words to the effect that he was not to bring the battle back the house of commons at all so this is a situation of freedom is to cameron has brought on himself so little but just in a nutshell where are the big holes and cameron's case and his presentation what first of all was in the timing we were brought back from our recess our holidays four days before we were due to go back anyway so what he's thinking what's the urgency here is they're about to be launched over the weekend are we to be presented with. significant intelligence. that we never offered a proper explanation so people were brought back without proper explanation and they were left wondering why that

the debate for two hours without a single note because people would cheer to his notes in the house of commons. one of the great historians of all time was in the house this time. he was too terrified to speak in then he spoke. he said it gave him his education as a historian to seal the great orators of all-time debate. the political system in britain was never so corrupt that the government could simply assume the support of the house of commons. there was no equivalent as today at the disciplined party system. the prime minister of this period had to win the confidence of the house of commons. lord north was particularly skilled in his public speaking abilities. successfully defending the government and sustaininsustainin g the government majorities in the house of commons. he was also a brilliant chancellor of the exchequer. he did two jobs. he was the head of finances will and he essentially made it possible for britain to continue to wage the war by raising money necessary. in fact this whole government is exceptionally well qualified to wage war. the members of the cabinet, many of them

they include another vote in this house of commons. even if all of these steps are taken, anything we do would have to be legal, proportionate, and specifically focused on determining and preventing any further use of chemical weapons. >> why do you refuse to publish the full attorney general site, especially when legal experts are saying that without explicit u.n. security council enforcement, it is not legal under international law. >> there has been a long standing convention backed by attorneys generals of all governments not to publish any legal device at all. this government has changed that. we published a summary of the legal advice. with this issue, we published a clear summary of the legal advice. i would urge all right honorable members to read it. mr. speaker, i am deeply mindful of the lessons of different conflicts. i am deeply mindful. in particular, the deep divisions in what went wrong with the iraq conflict in 2003. this is not like iraq. what we are seeing in syria is fundamentally different. we are not invading a cou

and it's unlikely that the government will go back to the house of commons for a second vote. they have pretty much accepted the fact that britain will not take part in a military strike. now, when secretary of state kerry is here meeting with william hague and other members of the british government, it's expected there may be other things that the brits will offer up, perhaps intelligence gathering, perhaps other things that could be done to support a military intervention. but not actually any it kind of military assets. >> thank you, phil ittner from rondon. >>> congress has been off for five years and the recess ends tomorrow to many who are returning to deal with the syrian crisis. democrats and republicans, an increasing number say they don't support the president's call for military action. paul beban is live from washington. have most lawmakers decided how they are going to vote? >> reporter: morgan, the numbers are certainly not favorable in the house or in the senate thus far for the administration but they certainly aren't giving up. the release of these videos you

serving in congress watched what they house of commons did with some trepidation. the u.k. has always been on our side and this time they are not. so there is a lot of questions about that. >> enqueue. -- thank you. >> i'm elijah cummings from maryland. pleased all, i am very the president decided to ask the congress for its approval here. i think we are at a very only in ourent, not nations history, but in world history. i think the case we are looking at is going to be probably one complex for members of congress to resolve. there are a lot of questions. i will not talk about what went on in that room, but a number of questions have to be resolved grade i think secretary kerry this morning talked about chemical weapons being used. i expect the administration will be able to show that. but beyond that, the question is ithink a lot of people -- attended church of 10,000 and most of these people i say their average education is about four years of college. i don't think many of our constituents understand the full significance of chemical and biological warfare. the president

what i've said to the house of commons there's an an enormous amount of video he with see. there's a fact we know the regime has an enormous arsenal. the fact they used it before. the fact they were attacking that area, and with the opposition, of course. there's the fact they don't have the weapons. they don't have the deliver i are systems. and the attack took place in an area which they themselves were holding. yes, of course, intelgence is part of the picture. let's not pretended there's one smoking piece of intelligence that can be solv the whole problem. it's a judgment issue and one which the honorable members will have to make a judgment. i giveaway to my friend. >> the reason many of us i parliament oppose. it was awe toesty committed by both side. there's a real risk of escalading no matter how clinical the strike. there's a risk the violation is escalade. what assurance can he give them? both within the country and beyond syria's borders. we haven't agreed about every aspect of syria policy. that's no. but the point i would make if we torp take action, it would b

. >> the house of commerce is a real shock not just the obama administration. i think everybody. interestingly the house of common that vote in the house of commons will be a backbone implant for congress to start reasserting itself into war powers which they have not done in a long time, so there could be a bigger impact there. what do people respect abroad? they respect strength. if they sense the strength is not there, weakness has replaced it, then they go their own way, they say what they want, they do what they want and in some cases they are expecting une sam or should we say uncle sugar to do the dirty work. neil: do you think we answer this by being more part of the global community and not sort of as president bush had done it actually backfired. spiegel have never seen it to work in international relations. i really haven't. i think they're going to be sending a telegram to president obama based on what secretary of state carey said asking for the peace product back. neil: the bottom line is i know you have gotten into this on your show, we have benefited financially to cause the trouble is we in the w

still support president obama's plan to strike at syria, even though they lost the vote in the house of commons. and secretary of state kerry here in london also taking the opportunity to apparently respond to comments made by bashar al-assad during that interview with charlie rose. the secretary of state saying basically given the assad regime's track record that the globe should not take him at his word. >> this is a man who just killed through his regime over a thousand of his own citizens. over 100,000 or about 100,000 have been murdered over the course of the last months. he sends scud missiles into schools. he sends missiles to napalm children. everyone has seen that. this is a man without credibility. i will happily stand anywhere in the world with the evidence that we have against his words and his deception and his acts. >> del, this is secretary of state kerry's last stop on his whirlwind tour of europe to try to drum up support for a white house-led strike on syria. now he returns to d.c. with a strongly worded statement from all the 28 members of the e.u. in calling for some sort of

as we saw, it haunted the british house of commons when they had their debate and voted no to intervention. final word before we go to the break. the french government this monday is preparing to publicly release details from its intelligence services about suspected chemical weapons attacks. as they say they have further proof. how we believe them after what happened in iraq? >> the problem is not to believe them or what the intelligence is . i think there will be a new report. it will be a clear report. everybody is quite aware that evidence against the regime in this size case, even though it has to be proved. there is a much bigger problem beyond that, beyond establishing the fact and evidence on the chemical attack. it is the question of what do we do? what is the strategy? everybody is talking about punitive strikes. what is beyond punitive strikes? this is a much bigger problem than just establishing the fact and having a reaction. for the congressman, like for the french mps, this is the main problem now. how do we retaliate and ensure that the retaliation is not more risky than do

. >> you know, for a minute there, i thought i was actually back covering canadian house of commons, where the british house of commons, i never heard so many neas and nays at one time. i want to bring back wolf blitzer and gloria borger. that was a powerful statement the speaker of the house just made. americans don't want to see the government shut down and they don't want obama care. wolf blitzer, which one do they want less? >> the senate, i thought the most interesting thing was when eric cantor cited four democratic senators who are up for re-election who are many of them in conservative states, prior of arkansas, hagan of north carolina, mary landrieu of louisiana, begich of alaska. what he was trying to do is say you know what, you four democratic senators who are up for re-election, you better be worried right now because if you vote with harry reid and the democrats, against what the house of representatives has just passed, you could be potentially in big, big trouble. so the pressure is clearly going to mount and eric cantor, the majority leader in the house of representat

high-ranking british government representatives but what exactly he hopes to gain is seen as the house of commons voted down participation, it's unclear. >> and, philip, i guess that raises the question about what can be accomplish in london, because the british parliament vetoed action against the assad regime. i guess that leaves the french. >> indeed. it does leave the french. the french, turks, a nato member state. what he hopes to gain - other things other than military action. the brits are hawkish. david cameron has been public about their support for a u.s.-led strike in syria, but don't have the votes in parliament. perhaps they'll get humanitarian aid or other assets, but not military assistance. >> phil itner joining us live from london. >> pope francis asks the world to pray for peace, this is what he said during his address >> translation: is it really a war over problems, or is it a commercial war to sell these arms on the black market? >> the pope questioning the motives behind wars, asking for people to fight not for interest but peace in the common good. >> he held a vij il in st

what's going on here is that president obama was broadsided by the decision in britain of the house of commons to vote against the possibility of going to war in syria and unlike the presidency in a prime minister's situation the prime minister made the decision that he was not going to go ahead in the face of strong opposition from the british parliament facing that facing the lack of any possible support in the united nations security council which is the only way a military strike could be legal no support from nato no support from the arab league i think that the obama administration said you know what we're too isolated here let's go to congress and get them on board the problem is congress right now is not in the mood to be supporting military strikes for a host of different reasons not all of which are good healthy reasons i would say but for a variety of reasons the possibility of president obama winning support for his plan which calls for in his words a very small narrow light small small small use of of cruise missiles against syria which of course doesn't take into account what hap

>> reporter: well, the house of commons did vote down contributing any military assets, but the government of david ram ron remains quite hawkish and supportive of some sort of military strike in syria. they may contribute other things on the periphery, perhaps humanitarian aid medicine to help anybody who does suffer chemical attack. it's also interesting to note that they do have assets in the eastern mediterranean, the brits do and the ministry of defense today admitted or announced really that they had scrambled jets previously last week when some aircraft started to come out of syria into sipriate air spors -- cyprius air space. they had assets in the area but they will not contribute any offensive weaponry to a possible strike in syria. >> phil ittner. thank you very much. >>> syrian president bashar al-assad tells cbs news he was not behind any chemical weapons attack in syria. it is his first interview with an american television network in two years. assad suggesting the rebels had used those weapons and there would be retamation for any international attacks on syria. >>> paul be

what's going on here is that president obama was broadsided by the decision in britain of the house of commons to vote against the possibility of going to war in syria and unlike the presidency in a prime minister's situation the prime minister made the decision that he was not going to go ahead in the face of strong opposition from the british parliament facing that facing the lack of any possible support in the united nations security council which is the only way a military strike could be legal no support from nato no support from the arab league i think that the obama administration said you know what we're too isolated here let's go to congress and get them on board the problem is congress right now is not in the mood to be supporting military strikes for a host of different reasons not all of which are good healthy reasons i would say but for a variety of reasons the possibility of president obama winning support for his plan which calls for in his words a very small narrow light small small small use of of cruise missiles against syria which of course doesn't take into account what hap

congress would do what the mps in britain's house of commons have done and vote against military action. if they voted for it, he said, syria's army is absolutely ready. but to the opposition here and the rebels, this feels like a betrayal. one leader of syria's national council said obama was a weak president and a rebel here in damascus said only one person was smiling at the end of this week, and that was president assad. certainly, he will feel emboldened as the british have pulled back, the americans have delayed. he will feel he has weakened his enemies and there's been heavy shelling as i have been speaking here in damascus. so president assad, as ever, undeterred and defiant. back to you, you carl. >> bill neely in damascus. bill, thanks. >>> let's bring in nbc's chief foreign affairs correspondent, andrea mitchell. andrea, with assad feeling emboldened and the rebels feeling abandoned, does the president's reversal weaken him in the u.s. going forward? >> reporter: well, carl, it helps him at home. i think it helps him domestically, but it certainly makes him look weaker abroad

and syria cameras failure to convince to house of commons about the why come a surprise to you. mr president has said about his surprise my toes to his head above his appreciation. they were ready to do anything for their country. is to love the country more than yourself if you join the military for any other reason. you're probably not going to have a good day. cools in that state now they live remembering the past which is impossible to get rid of. the war. however good people do get heard. and i've heard good people empty silent. but would prefer not to be sometimes i feel like. i should have died over there. because. i saw some people who died. there is cheaper than terrified. the bible says many times the gold is the father of all folks. i'm sure he told me to see if these children. and those mistakes in the orphanage that you know in time. he just fell nobody needed me. by philip coverage how fast. my dad is probably the kindest soul in the world. one can't abandon the child that they wouldn't survive sylviane jurors to the end. dream can be summed up in just a few what's

americans with military support, but because the government of david cameron lost that vote in the house of commons, the british are not in any way, shape or form going to contributing military asset to say anything in syria. interesting to see william hague here, the british foreign secretary, but nevertheless, it's being held in paris, because basically, the french were the ones that were going to go along with any kind of strike. >> you mentioned the some of it in the nato alliance. what will this group push for as the best alternative if this deal doesn't work? >> that's what a lot of these talks, the bulk of the talks here today between the british, french and americans were about is how to put together the wording of this resolution that will be taken to the u.n. security council, and how the west is going to contribute to the wording of that. the russians and chinese still have that veto power in the security council, so, as james bay was just saying, this will have to be delicately worded. the west is standing by the stance that the assad regime only came to the negotiating table, started t

we know that the house of commons voted against a u.k. involvement. >> reporter: good morning, carol. we're at the foreign office. we'll hear from foreign minister william hague. despite the support from pal lamt, mr. hague said it would be an alarming moment if action is not taken. we've seen secretary kerry gaining support over the last 48 hours. he says now that countries who support action in syria are in the double digits. first in france we saw the support, and then members of the arab league. this is the possibility of a u.n. security council resolution. that's where the support of mr. hague, the support of the british government will be most helpful. while the secretary and mr. hague are meeting here in lyndon. the russian foreign minister and the syrian foreign minister are going to be meeting. we'll have to watch that. >> hadley, thank you so much for that. syria was also a key topic when ross sat down with director christine la guard. he asked about -- >> that's not the agenda of the g-20. the largest economies of the world dis

but it was not as you know a case that carried the day in the house of commons. >> one quick question let you go. you believe this new president of iran, hassan rouhani, is the real deal, moderate, and there's a new chapter about to develop between iran and the west? >> well, there's certainly new language and the words that he's using, the tone that he is striking, the language which he's deploying, of course is encouraging. i welcome that. he appears to be reaching out to the world. but words on their own of course do not constitute a solution to the threat and the possibility of a nuclear armed iran which i think would be destabilizing to the region and very destabilizing to the world. so now the thing to do is to see whether those words can be translated into action. but i think the whole international community, britain, the europeans, russia, china, the united states, we have all put a very clear offer on the table to iran, which is to recognize iran's legitimate use of civil nuclear capabilities and -- but to draw the line, if you like, at the development of a military nuclear
