principles that the united states and russian federation have agreed on today can, with accountable followthrough, allow us to expedite the elimination of syria's chemical weapons. points. are the central the syrian regime must disclose its full chemical arsenal within a week of the u.n. resolution. u.n. inspectors must be given free access to inspect all weapons sites. be too destroyed outside syria by mid-2013, and the un security council will decide on possible further sanctions if syria fails to .omply it is that last demand that could lead to difficulties. the u.s. continues to threaten military intervention if necessary, without the backing of the u.n. russia excludes this as an option. >> in this agreement, there is no mention of the use of force, nor of any automatic sanctions. >> there are still many details to be discussed, but expectations are that syria will abide by the plan. >> there can be no games, no room for avoidance, or anything less than full compliance by the assad regime. we are finished. >> the washington insists it is prepared to act if the diplomatic solution fails. >> p

apart from destroying syrian chemical weapons, the russian federation and the u.s. have agreed that we must push ahead to ensure the proliferation of those chemical weapons doesn't happen. >> we have more reaction on the syrian crisis. one of britain's biggest cities has been witnessing one of its largest ever protest as health cuts drew tens of thousands to the streets. it is time to trust -- earlier, i talked to one of the protesters to ask what has got the marchers so fired up. >> this government is in real trouble. it has for a much to do with the national health service, it is facing 20 billion of cuts by 2015. it is also crystallizing many issues where the government is unpopular. mass surveillance to threatened action in syria, the fact that so many people are willing to speak out and stand up for the nhs and a better britain puts pressure on this government. we are seeing how the austerity agenda is damaging the country. it is also clear that a new network, a new movement is beginning to forge itself. what is going to really put pressure on the tories is the

obvious that the ship's thirty crew members are not pirates and we have heard indications from the russian federal security service that they they do think that the crew of the ship has. broken the law because because they have by entering the northern sea route without the permission and probably possibly that they knew the activists knew that they were ignoring the bands and the warnings that they there were they would be detained when they were climbed. that was the kind of attention. the activists needed it needed because. because it drew more attention to their cause and especially the head of the of the arctic conference that took took place yesterday . well the hearing at the court in the russian the port city of umansky is about to start and you can follow the transmission auntie's video agency at roughtly dot tv and we'll keep you updated on that as well. just ahead for you including salt she is preparing to amaze guests of the olympics report from the black sea resort that's promising some cutting edge venues it's the winter games in fact very. good lumber tour. was able to build the nee

the russian federation to make available to member states if they wish to have it. that's the first thing. the second thing that we have repeatedly said, and i mentioned it yesterday, that the chemical weapons investigation team is carrying out its investigation into this 21st of august incident as a priority given the international community's evident and obvious interest in trying to find out what happened. we have also said that the team has given an undertaking to the syrian government that it will return to carry out its investigation into all pending allegations. that includes khan al-assal. when it comes to a report that will encompass all of the allegations, this part will be addressed. yes? >> going back to the briefing timeline, the p5 who you spoken to this friday, is there no invitation from any of those interested parties to hear again from him? secondly, do you anticipate any further briefings during this week and what would they be on? >> bear in mind the secretary- general is traveling to st. petersburg, but there are other officials, of course, with

norm against the use of chemical weapons and the principles that the united states and the russian federation have agreed on today can with accountable follow through allow us to expedite the elimination of syria's chemical weapons. providing this framework is fully implemented it can end the threat these weapons pose not only to the syrian people but also to their neighbors to the region and because of the threat of proliferation this pray more it can provide greater protection and security the to the world we said at the outset that to accomplish our goal this plan had to produce transparency accountability timeliness and enforceability it must be credible and verifiable if fully implemented we believe it can meet these standards the world will now expect the assad regime to live up to its public commitments and as i said at the outset of these negotiations there can be no games no room for avoidance or anything less than full compliance by the assad regime i thank sergey lavrov for his efforts to try to guarantee the genuine. aspects of this framework so let me just outline specifically wh

i also welcome the agreement to reach over the weekend between russian federation and the united states on a framework to eliminate syria's chemical weapons. i urged this morning the security council to act urgently to ensure enforcement, and compliance, with this plan. after two and a half years of tragedy, now is the time for the security council to show leadership, and exercise its moral and political responsibilities. there must be accountability for the use of chemical weapons. any use of chemical weapons by anyone, anywhere, is a crime. but our message to them must be more than that. do not slaughter your people with gas. there must be also no impunity for the crimes being committed with conventional weapons. the united nations commission of inquiry reported last week on a host of horrors being committed by both sides in the conflict from murder, rape and torture to indiscriminate shelling of civilian neighborhoods. that arms continued to flow to the country and the region. the humanitarian situation is desperate. people are leaving under siege. families face intolerable choices b

region of the russian federation of course that means. revenue and i understand your desire probably said that we will get back to this issue and i will instruct the federal ministry of energy. and the ministry of regional policies to look at these issues but once again we need to look at the economics of this proposal thank you but. there in the back you're welcome. why did. mr putin i guess would not be in a with statement to say that the issue of syria was over she doing the whole deliberations here at the forum and while you have managed to arrive at some. common solutions. on economic issues and we have seen a split of opinions on syria at this summit how far can these political disagreements in this period affect economic relations in the future and how do you see the prospects of us russian western relations in the future but you know everything that's going on the middle east. strongly because this is a region that's a very brings a. substantial share of resources to the global table and as soon as there is the turmoil or a crisis

because of this, the fact that there was a point of convergence between the russian federation and thed states over one issue, to wit, the rejection and use of chemical weapons, should be welcomed and we congratulate mr. sergey lavrov and secretary of state kerry for the initiative, an initiative that gave rise to the framework agreement of 14 september. we also appreciate the efforts in codifying that the agreement so that both the organization for the prohibition of chemical weapons and the security council could act today. we believe that this step is highly significant for its engines at value, and because it breeds new life into efforts into the underlying issues, putting into the violence, resolving to mention crisis and meets the demand for the syrian people. for those reasons we have consistently supported the final transfer of the action group of syria for june 2012 and a for an international conference with a few to its implementation. this expense also why my delegation cosponsored resolution 2118 of 2013, which was just a doctor. it sets forth the mechanism for verification

far why didn't the region itself and apart from destroying syrian chemical weapons that the russian federation and the united states that agree a good plan on which we must push ahead most importantly for the rest of us in the world is to ensure that any of those chemical weapons doesn't happen. if you had her website out heat or cold we got more reaction more expert opinion and analysis on the syrian crisis lined up for you. one of britain's biggest cities has been witnessing one of its largest ever protests as health cuts through tens of thousands onto the streets earlier it's time to catch members of the governing conservative party who descended on manchester for their annual conference earlier talk to one of the protesters to ask what's got the marchers so fired up. this government is in fact in real trouble of course it's been very much to do with the national health service today that actually that it's facing twenty billion of cuts of cuts by twenty fifteen it's old but it's also that crystallized to so many issues and when the government's unpopular for all the way from mass surveilla

with the same kind of information about the domestic and foreign surveillance system that the russian federation was using. you know, would we have extradited him back to russia? i think almost [chuckles] - i think it's almost impossible to imagine that we would have done that. and so it does make me wonder why did we think that the russians would do it in this case. i think - i don?t know this for sure, but my sense is that the administration thought that they were making progress in these discussions through law enforcement channels. but frankly, you know, this was a case where i think if there was an opportunity to resolve this, the only way that you could have done it, i think, was for mr. obama to pick up the telephone and have some very, you know, frank conversations with mr. putin and try to work it through a personal relationship and try to find some kid of face-saving solution. but i won't go - i won't beat that - well, the horse is not quite dead yet, but i won't belabor that point any longer, because frankly, you know, we don't - you know, we don't know whether there would have been a

very careful and it is only after we have full confidence that there was a violation we as the russian federation would be ready to make can another adopt another security council resolution with defining a response that would become measure it whizzed the violation and they should be no speculation on this point anymore. so let me. as sergey did comment on both sides of it if i may first of all. there are timelines in here and it's an ambitious goal and the inspectors must be on the ground no later than november and the goal is to complete the destruction and removal and or and or removal. by halfway through next year twenty fourteen that is a stated goal within this framework. in addition to that. there is there are acquirements in the framework which you will see that automatically take noncompliance and or. some question of deviation from the framework will go to the security council for debate as to what measure might be implemented but there is an agreement between russia and the united between russia and the united states that noncompliance is going to be held accountable within the securi
