he was not to bring about a back the house of commons at all so this is a situation afraid that mr cameron has brought on himself so well but just in a nutshell where are the big holes in 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 there about to be a missile strike launched over the weekend are we to be presented with. six significant intelligence. that we never offered a proper explanation so people were brought back without proper explanation and they were left wondering why that was secondly we were we were brought back before the weapons inspectors had reported thirdly before that been any discussion on a resolution inside the security council that we were given an abstract summary of some intelligence which didn't say any more frankly about culpability then one could read in the newspapers that simply use the phrase that it was very likely that they are said regime. was responsible the difficulty is that in the c

zone a session of the convention under the lisbon treaty because mr cameron was even then making you know noises about the convention and how bad it was the tory party might take written out and i pointed out to him that he had a solution around because for the e.u. to cede to the convention in its own right then it needed a unanimous vote in the council write that letter we're trying to it says understand it. isn't that it would have stopped this in its tracks right and there isn't any other way for the u.k. because it contributes almost hard the budget of the e.u. court of human rights surely a compromise can be found well you can't have your court you know you're justice system in a country it's over written by the european court and. your sovereign country knocks. how. should it be in making it increasingly unpopular with the british people so the only solution is to actually leave it to withdraw from the jurisdiction of the european court of human rights and you can't do that and be a signature to the european convention and be a member of the european union so if mr cameron was

we only closed at about one and most of the time and then we had also a bilateral meeting with mr cameron until three am in the morning you said there was a. split a fifty fifty split on syria here before but that is not exactly so i can only say look i can say that. the united states. saudi arabia and france when people are a military operation against syria we also know that the british prime minister mr cameron was also a favorite what is the british parliament said no. you're to be. the general when you. chancellor has also been really reserved in germany is not going to undertake any military action in the meantime russia china india indonesia this is the largest. muslim nation africa argentina brazil south africa italy all these nation has been opposed to the notion of a military operation even u.n. secretary general is also spoke against such a military operation with him and let's not forget the address of the people who said directly it would be unacceptable on every new war of the cities in this country. numerators the nation in favor of. military strikes but. public opinion sur

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 to read from a prepared text to say words to the effect that he was not to bring about a back the house of commons at all so this is a situation of freedom is to cameron has brought on himself so well 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 there about to be a missile strike 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 was secondly we were brought back before the weapons inspectors had reported thirdly before that been any discussion on a

mr. cameron 's government about any intervention. the british prime minister has made it clear and his ministers have said there will be no british military intervention. william hague also pressed home was the fact. was very involved on the humanitarian and diplomatic level. both men want to see a political solution, not a military one. they know they've got to make the case. john kerry acknowledged he is very aware of the problems of the deficit of the iraqi proof which was not good. he knows he has got to make the case to the world and to congress. he will be flying back to washington. one felt london and washington were supporting each other. that is the key message both governments want to give. >> thank you for reporting not from london. the syrian president is fighting his own p.r. war in the united states. he has given a rare television interview to american channel cbs. in the interview he again claims he had nothing to do with the chemical weapons attack in damascus last month. that interview will be aired later today. it i

mr. cameron alluded to his most famous interview that of richard nixon when the american president admitted had betrayed his people. that interview exposed part of frost's genius, getting people to reveal themselves. >> he didn't want to he was awkward with people, that clumsiness probably closed him off from what knowing what the public were think. >> prime minister thank you very much very much indeed. >> david frost is unique in television, an entertainer known on both sides of the atlantic. anyone who was anyone, would have been flattered to have the frost interview. lawrence lee, al jazeera london. >> gorge, i'm morgan radford and these are some of the stories we're following at this hour. secretary of state john kerry says the case against the syrian government is growing stronger by the day. kerry told several sunday talk shows, the government should not allow assad to gas people with impunity. but the the syrian president says the united states lacks authority that the government was involved. >>> former egyptian president mohammed morsi will stand trial. 14 other members of the mus

prime minister mr cameron ultimately though of the russian president saying that america saudi arabia and the u.k. they support a strike against syria although of course the u.k. can't do anything about it because cameron lost a parliamentary vote in recent days so the u.k. his hands are tied and bound at this point with any type of strike against syria then the russian president went on to create name a huge list of one country after another after another who opposed any type of strike in syria also a president putin saying the majority of people in the middle east a firmly opposed to some type of external military intervention also reiterating the pope pope francis saying some type of strike will only cause more bloodshed in syria the russian president also touching down the whole central topic of the allegations of the usage of chemical weapons allegedly by the assad government and the russian president saying no it wasn't the assad government it was the rebels and it was a setup and a provocation here's what the russian president had to say. use of chemical weapons in syria was a

mr. cameron had recalled parliament to outline the basis for military action, saying it was beyond doubt that the syrian government used chemical weapons against its own people and that the uk cannot stand aside. >> we begin with members of the house motion, motion number 1. the leader of the house to move the motion. thank you. we have a summary of the government's legal position, making it explicit that no action would have a legal basis at the moment. we have the legal basis from the joint intelligence committee. e have a motion from the government to set back a path of steps that need to be taken before britain can participate in any military action. 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. >>

let's have a look on france with all aunt who is under pressure or mr cameron and great britain who is under pressure. the government in italy and spain and greece are on not very you are not in a very good position saw the outcome of this election to strengthen their trauma. within the european concert but what about that and t. european party the alternative for germany party still hanging in there isn't it what impact could their presence have if they do indeed get into parliament. is this the result of the you're a skeptical party or i don't know if you can for the action on this also or historical because this party's very young it was founded only this spring in spring two thousand and thirteen and within five or six months the new party has gained nearly or five percent of the woods in comparison to the green party in the green party started for the first time in for the election it had only one point five percent now this new party has nearly five percent this is a good result and if this party stays together it will be in the european poly parliament after next year's election

mr. cameron, mr. clegg, mr. miller band, are you listening? band, are you listening?ause] we are the only people with a solution. the only way we can take back andcontrol of our borders decide who comes to this country is by divorcing ourselves amicably from this european union and taking back control. i don't want to prolong the agony. as far as i can concern, the sooner we do it, the better. we know we have 67% of the public already on our side. i think -- life outside the european union -- it is a very attractive prospect. 55er all, we will save billion pounds a day in terms of our contribution. that is not about start -- a bad start. we could do also to things. we could reduce the deficit, reduce corporation tax to 10% making us the most competitive place in the world. there are lots of things we could do with that money to make written better. what i am certain of it that we will get our money and our borders back. we will get our parliament back. we will get our parliament -- we will get our seatback on the global bodies that make an influence and run the world.

mr. cameron alluded to, his famous interview of richard nixon when the american president admitted he betrayed his people. that interview, itself, exposed something of frost's generalous of understanding how people operate and then getting them to reveal themselves. >> one of the reasons he wasn't in touch with what people were thinking was he didn't like going out of his way to meet people because he was awkward with people. and that awkwardness and that clumsiness was one of the things that probably closed him off from knowing what the public were really thinking. so it's those sort of personal flaws that come through. >> prime minister, thank you very much. >> david frost's leg is unique in world television, a news man and journalist who was also an entertainer known on both sides of the atlantic. anyone who is anyone would have been flattered to be offered the frost interview. hardly nip in the history of t.v. who could make that claim. lawrence lee al jazeera, london. >> we will be right back.

mr. cameron served as a story artist before directing his first feature length film "open season 3". >> krisnimation at sheridan college in ontario, canada. mr. pearn began his career as an animator and served as a story artist before making his directorial debut with "cloudy with a chance of meatballs 2". >> you're watching "made in hollywood." >> we're going to show you a scene from sony pictures animation new film, "cloudy with a chance of meatballs 2". >> my son also love to in vent things. sometimes his inventions were great. other times, well, not so much. >> ok, so you guys are both directors for the movie, "cloudy with a chance of meatballs 2". let's go through some of the responsibilities that you have on this project. >> working with screenwriters, with story artists. >> yep, i mean that first assignment was what do we do? what story are we going to tell and we spend time with our original directors just beating up story ideas. our whole team collaborated and built a blueprint of the movie. >> yeah. >> as it rolls on, you get your green light and start to make the thing, there's li

mr. cameron is delighted in the u.k.nother conservative government, that probably lends some support to him. monsieur hollande gave his support through gritted teeth. i don't think other countries will be too disappointed with this outcome. >> well, they won't be too disappointed with this outcome. of course, angela merkel is a tough cookie to negotiate with and it was pretty clear from the legacy of her job during the eurozone crisis that she's not giving away taxpayers' money just all of a sudden. but, you know, it is better to know the devil you have to negotiate with than not to know the person. so overall i think the -- what we will hear, it is received quite positive. above all i have to express by her friend cameron. yesterday evening we had a chance to catch up with the former head of the european parliament and take a listen of what he had to say about the legacy and her credibility. >> angela merkel in her time as chancellor did what she promised, and i think this is the secret of her success, that people trust

mr. cameron had parliamentary party and couldn't deliver it.ht to do together. we can't pretend that this is not important. >> can't pretend it's not important. but is it necessary? did he weigh in on that with an question? was it necessary for obama to get approval? >> it was very interesting. he dodged that a little bit. and it's interesting because, of course, bill clinton as president ordered what is the closest parallel we can think of, which is a four-day strike against iraq to try to, in short, to punish it on weapons of mass destruction and compliance. bill clinton did not ask congress for either authorization or approval. but i think he felt that the political circumstances were different for obama. he put a fair amount of weight on the british issue, which was that prime minister cameron being rejected, repudiated by his own parliament. and the signal that it would have sentd in that context for obama not to have asked congress. you know, what i asked him which i thought was -- i was surprised by -- i said to him, let's play this movi

mr. ram con' camerons experience. >> i am ready to go.ill happen in the second next two weeks, three weeks from how it doesn't have the same bite as it does when it's 48 hours after the attack. >> right, sheila. >> i think i am calling it the coalition of the not so enthusiastic. as you said the brits are out of it. the prime minister has been left humiliated. in france we have a deeply unpopular president, 64% of the french say they don't want any part that have. and 58% further say they don't trust him to run anything that looks like an air strike against syria. the czechs who are nato in charge of chemical weapons capacity defense, say they want nothing do with it. the russians are today using, again, some very harsh language vladimir putin calling it utter nonsense, and interesting enough, of course, mr. obama and mr. putin will come face-to-face later on in week when they need at the g20 in st. petersburg russia. >> this will be some dinner party i guess. how does president obama move forward in such circumstances. >> he canceled his

. >> cameron's defeat had a strong impact on mr. obama, who watched it all from the west wing. whatever his misgivings, the march to war reached a new level on friday as the president dispatched his secretary of state to argue his case forcefully to the american public. >> history will judge us all extraordinarily harshly if we turn a blind eye to a dictator's wanton use of weapons of mass destruction against all warnings, against all common understanding and decency. >> but just a few hours after kerry's stirring churchill-like remarks, the president took a walk on the white house south lawn with his chief of staff, dennis mcdonough, and decided he needed congressional approval. earlier that morning a poll indicated nearly 80% of those surveyed said the president should go to congress first. and while the president's decision did not sit well with his national security team, by yesterday morning they were on board. >> i have decided that the united states should take military action against syrian regime targets. i have made a second decision. i will seek authorization for the

mr. obama is walking a relatively lonely path. close ally british prime minister david cameron still stunned by parliament's rejection of military support will sit out any strikes. german chancellor merkel, at the end of a campaign, said germany will be on the sidelines. president obama huddled with french president hollande. the white house knows putin, the russian president and staunch syrian ally, wields a veto that could block any action against syria. at the united nations, u.s. ambassador samantha power lowered the boom. >> russia continues to hold the council hostage and shirk its international responsibilities, including as a party to the chemical weapons convention. >> reporter: even though all five permanent members of the united states security council are here, the united states will have nothing from them for syria. next, obama faces congress and the looming authorization vote in the next week or so. >> major garrett in st. petersburg. >>> arizona senator john mccain got an earful from constituents opposed to military action in syria. at a town hall meeting in phoe

mr. president on syria? >> i would certainly hope so. again he is very secretive what he is doing. i don't know what leaders i'm hoping for instance david cameron would say at least he is personally supporting the president whether or not the british government is. i don't know who he is working with. he should be, as president of the united states as leader of the free world, most dominant economic military power in the world we should be able to get a number of countries to stand with us. i hope the president does that. whatever criticism of the president the fact he is my president, he is your president and i want him to succeed at that summit or that conference and one way to do it in the eyes of the world would come out with a number of leaders standing with him at least endorsing his policies even if they're not taking military action. bill: peter king, republican from new york. thank you. martha: bill o'reilly has a message for conservatives who oppose action in syria. >> if the usa fails to act against assad, the unintended consequence a loss of respect for those that care about a just world. if we sit back and do nothing we set up a fr
