st. petersburg. egypt survives assassination attempts at least two are killed in the attack. >>> kenya could be the first country to pull out of the court. >> palestine's football chief threatens to ask for the suspension of ftra. if they aren't given the freedom to play their matches. >> so divisions over syria are looming at the g-20 summit in st. petersburg. china is pushing for a solution to the crisis. pushing world powers into reviving plans into an international peace conference. there will be no bilateral meeting between vladimir peunt n and barack obama. are there going to be no face-to-face talks over syria? >> it's not clear. you appreciate all these things are movable feasts. there are no scheduled meetings between the two men. the history is that they were going to have much longer talks in moscow before the g-20 summit here in st. petersburg. those were cancelled by the americans last month because of their frustration over a range of disagreements with the russians so those longer talk

st. petersburg. steve, realistically speaking, how much coordination can we expect to come out of the g-20, whether it is on the exit of stimulus or on syria? >> on those two issues i think you got a point. there can't be a lot. on other issues that are apart of the official agenda, they can look at those. there are a lot there, very important issues including on tax, regulation. i think you'll see some quite concrete moves forward to global regulation on those issues. but let's get back to the main point. point was we have come to this meeting without foreign ministers by and large. that's important. this is an economic rather than a geopolitical meeting and people have come and wanted to talk about syria on the fringes even though it is not part of the official agenda. i think mr. putin did something very smart. you had a working dinner. supposed to last a couple of hours, lasted much longer, ended 1:00 a.m. local time. he got up at the start of dinner and said ten minutes each, we go around the ta

another day of intensive brainstorming isabel to get going at the g twenty summit in st petersburg it's a fresh chance to try and see some common ground after day one for the syrian crisis spit leaders of the world's top economies into two rival camps. right around half of the g. twenty members are said no to america's intention to strike syria without the u.s. go ahead washington accuses damascus of using chemical weapons in the more than two year long war but it's all humans fail to convince all love to st petersburg for the details with our g.'s. let's say you know a lot of us knew that syria was going to be the talking point really it wasn't on the agenda but it still made it on to the how have you you know how that is gushing has been playing out with the leaders there at the g. twenty summit. it seems the word unprecedented is written all over this g. twenty summit it is unprecedented that the leaders of the united states and russia have no official meetings during this summit is unprecedented that the leader of the host nation says that a political and diplomatic issue must be in

twenty summit in st petersburg coming up on r.t. in just a few minutes. in a rallying support for a potential strike on syria the u.s. is trying to ally doubts that the syrian regime was responsible for the august chemical attack near damascus. going off looks at whether there is actually enough evidence to back that claim the intelligence services of the u.s. france and britain have all presented reports suggesting it was the syrian authorities who used chemical weapons on august twenty first so let's look at their arguments open source reports are presented among the key evidence by all three services instead of being tucked safely in their beds at home we saw rows of children lying side by side sprawled on a hospital floor open sources are actually videos on you tube and social networks this brings us to the second arguments presented once again unilaterally its knowledge of previous chemical attacks allegedly conducted by the assad regime un experts however still haven't been able to agree on whether or not chemical weapons were deployed during the co

st. petersburg. just one more thing, jill, before i let you go. the chinese president will attend the g-20 summit, as well. he will certainly have russia's back. what might that mean for the united states? >> well, it's predictable for the united states because, after all, on all of the united nations, china and russia usually vote the same way. it won't be very surprising. however, china has a number of ways. let's say on north korea, for example, there might be a way with the chinese leader that mr. obama could make some progress, let's say, in a meeting of the minds that i don't think that anyone is very optimistic that they could change their opinion either. both russia and china, you have to remember, don't want interference in the affairs of other countries. because they read it as interference in their own affairs. so, they're both united in that idea in sovereignty and to the russians and to the chinese it's pretty favored. >> got you. okay, 19 world leaders expected to arrive in st. petersbu

twenty summit in st petersburg is that the u.n. special envoy mr but i hear me talking to merge and see flights to st petersburg to take part in the talks to try to listen to the boat both sides of barack obama and vladimir putin so definitely syria has been pretty much the top story here well of course he had is in the foreground now and as you said there's been a fifty fifty split there in opinions as to who is for and against can tell us a bit more about who is for and who's against at this point. suddenly judging by the separate statements coming from the camps of delegations of the g twenty countries we can say who is on what side for instance we know that russia's and china's position on the syrian conflict and its resolution hasn't changed the slightest russia still believes that first of all there needs to be a viable evidence of the chemical weapons used by any side and also that the u.n. security council must vote unanimously for any kind of military action china at the same time says that the possible strike on syria may
