>> well, he will be meeting with the foreign secretary here, william hague and william hague has been very hawkish on some sort of military action. the entire government of david cameron has been rather hawk issue on some sort of military action in syria but they did lose the vote in the house of commons and david cameron has said he heard the message from the house of commons from the british people 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.

william hague, the british foreign secretary will be in the british chair. i don't know about the french and the chinese - we'll find out as time goes on. i think there'll be a display of the great and good of the global political scene. they want to be here to be part of this. >> stand by, we'll continue to watch this. we'll get back to you in a moment. there's a new report saying syria has 1,000 tonnes of chemical weapons, according to the international institute for counterterrorism and could be used in aerial bombs, artillery shells and rockets and ballistic missiles and artillery rounds. the weapons are stored in some 50 cities, in the northern part of the country predominantly in production, research and develop, plants used for peaceful purposes and storage. we are joined from the syria boarder with ria. i know you have talked to people's syria. what are they saying tonight, rawya rx ageh. >> at a time when we see the chemical weapons deal celebrated and hailed in new york and the hallways of the united nations, there are concerns among the citizens o

she has more. >> we have just had this press briefing from william hague, the british foreign secretary, the french foreign minister, and john kerry, u.s. secretary of state and all three of them coming out as expected saying they wanted to have a stronger yuan resolution -- as strong a you when resolution as possible. and one concrete action very quickly rather than just words and agreements on paper struck in geneva. all three men came out with the same point. our countries are permanent members of the un security council and we hope to use the full force of that diplomatic standing to really get this resolution passed as quickly as possible. they are insisting that should be binding and it should lead the way open for military force if there is not compliant by the assad regime. >> interestingly, the russian foreign minister has already responded to the comments made at the press conference. sergei lavrov said any cause for his with you and resolution under chapter seven would show a "lack of understanding of the russian-u.s. agreement on syria's chemical weapons." many of the journa

john kerry and william hague met in london and in that meeting william hague said that the u.s. has the full diplomatic. support of the united kingdom despite the fact that parliament voted against the idea of military intervention john kerry went on to say that assad could prevent an attack from the united states if he handed over his entire chemical weapons arsenal by next week so big news here that kerry is offering a way out or a way for to prevent some sort of intervention by said that evidence of the assad regime having used chemical weapons is compelling on the idea of a strike he said that the scope would be unbelievably small and a limited kind of effort also saying that the united states will not be going to war now this is important wording because only congress has the ability to declare war so it is believed that this could be john kerry making the case for the united states to act or the president to act without approval making that case now he also said that it doesn't matter if it didn't order an attack that it was a regime and the regime is a regime and so actio

secretary of state john kerry has meanwhile met with his british counterpart william hague in london kerry suggested it is sad could avoid a strike if he was to hand over his chemical weapons arsenal that idea did cause a stir but the state department later said it was merely read rhetorical and not as serious of syrian political analyst says damascus wouldn't have considered such a move anyway. this reminds us for example with the with the situation prior to the iraq invasion in two thousand and three when iraq was quite encouraged to hand over whatever. you know what and munitions they had that could actually harm any attacking force we remember al samoud missile. one of the end of the day old at the top and was that was that the americans did but that iraq had really big teeth to resist anything so i don't think the syrians will be falling into the same trap here the parliament's rejection last week over the last ten days of this military action which was quite surprising to everyone and i think it pushed america into consulting their own parliament and probably france to do the s

met in london and that meeting william hague said that the u.s. has the full diplomatic support of the united kingdom this despite the fact that parliament voted against the idea of military intervention john kerry went on to say that it caught assad could it prevent an attack from the united states if he handed over his entire chemical weapons arsenal by next week. well for more on this let's talk the syrian political analyst he joins us live from london mr kerry says if assad hands over his chemical weapons there will be no strike is that a poll is a blow for mr assad do you think. i don't think it is very much so the case i think this reminds us for example with the with the situation prior to the invasion in two thousand and three when iraq was quite encouraged to hand over what. you know weapons and munitions they had that could actually how can force you to them but also. as for example and at the end of the day old of what happened was that was that the americans did but iraq had really very little teeth to resist anything so i don't think

william hague / uk foreign minister: "the time is now right for those statements to be matched by concrete steps by iran to address the international community's concerns about iran's intentions. and if such steps are taken, then i believe a more constructive relationshican be created between us."

william hague tells al jazeera that he is hopeful there could be a resolution on the table quite soon, quite soon that follows last night encounter of two senior members that they were hopeful to have a resolution on the table by friday. it's important to have a resolution on syria's chemical weapons because the agreement between america and russia is only a framework and the ability to do that is through an u.n. security council resolution. >> how will this potentially complicate the situation in syria? >> reporter: well, how long have you got? do we have the next 30 minutes? >> we've got time. >> reporter: this is the arms trade treaty. the world has tried twice to do this. they failed the first time. it was too close to the american presidential election. now they managed to put it off to april. and now john kerry signed the u.s.' name to that treaty. and what it will do is in theory will bring the rest of the world to u.s. and congressional standards when it comes to giving arms, anything from handguns to battle tanks to aircraft to fighters around the world overthrowing regime, t

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 is seen as an attempt by many to woo americans to his cause. >> it has not even been broadcast yet. the content it already -- is already causing a buzz stateside. assad

as for the united kingdom, foreign minister william hague said that washington had the governments ofavid cameron's full support and that they would pursue a diplomatic efforts to, in minister hague's words "muster a strong international response." so the brits may not be contributing military assets to any kind of strike in syria, but are saying that they will help to develop a consensus and perhaps diplomatic efforts to gain support for some sort of strike. del. >> phil joining us live from london, thank you very much. president obama plans six interviews today before he addresses the public tuesday night. our white house correspondent is standing by in washington. mike, what can the public expect from the interviews and that address to the nation tomorrow? >> well, i think the thought is that the president has a good case to make. it's just that not everyone has heard that case. he is trying to sway public opinion and in turn get the public to get their representatives to vote in favor of the resolution that he has before congress and obviously as paul reported it, appears to be an

of the news conference i think were commitment and accountability from john kerry he wanted and william hagueinding commitments, a timeframe, and enforcement things so they made sure the syrian authorities weren't playing games with them and behind that as they all said there was the threat of force and threat of violence against the syrian government if they didn't do these things. the argument is obviously that they wouldn't have gotten this far without the threat of military action. so that is all fine. and i think their aim at this point is to try to get at least to a draft resolution by the end of the week which they can try and get the russian and the chinese to sign up to to get to some sort of deadlines and back in the world of roadmaps, aren't we, the view in the end being they may view this as a platform to try to get to a fresh set of peace talks. underneath that there are some tricky questions unanswered. for example john kerry's assertion that in his view this would make the opposition safer, something to do -- pulling out chemical weapons would be for the opposition and that in

william hague now joins me here in our studio. secretary, thank you very much for being with us. >> good afternoon. it's a great pleasure. >> well, you are front and center. you've met with your iranian counterpart in the last day. >> yes. >> so you've had the first window into whether or not this is real. is this just a charm offensive or is there a real sea change in iran. >> well, that is what we have to find out. it's certainly a charm offensive. the meetings with iranians are different from in the past. i think the speech we will hear this afternoon from president rouhani will be very different from the speeches we were used to from his predecessors. so there's certainly the charm offensive there. and of course what we and many other countries are saying to them is, well, now we welcome this and we welcome some actual things that have happened like the release of some political prisoners in iran. people we've called for their release for a long time. we really welcome that. but now we do want to see the concrete steps now. we

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 to talk about giving up their chemical weapons stockpile because of the threat of military force. in the west, the americans and french in particular say that that threat needs to remain in order to get a real resul

william hague has been saying some very hawkish things but the brits are not going to be contributing any kind of military assets to a possible strike. they do say, however, they are going to increase humanitarian aid going to provided chemical weapons medicine for those struck by any kind of chemical strike and in addition to that, there is the potential that they will contribute military intelligence, intelligence gathering in eastern med tr mediterranean but they support the white house plan. >> phil itner joining us live from london. to discuss secretary carriry's meeting we are joined by dr. james boyce, a senior research fellow in london. thank you for being with us. i begin with this: we live in a microwave society. one day, the president appears to be gaining ground. the next day, he is losing that ground. with that as a backdrop, does a diplomatic solution to the crisis in syria appear to be a moot point? >> reporter: well, what you have seen is secretary of state kerry come over to europe after his efforts on the hill last week to try and convince senators and members of the

says that they're ready to move forward with this this actually comes after john kerry met with william hague his counterpart in london in that meeting he said that syria if they hand over their full arsenal of chemical weapons by the end of the week well they can avoid attack he also said in that conference that there was strong evidence compelling evidence that the assad regime used chemical weapons and that any strike by the u.s. would be unbelievably small limited in scope and he also said that the u.s. is not going to war possibly playing on the fact that congress has to go to a vote this week and it's only congress that can declare war possibly opening the way for obama to strike as white house as the president outside of congressional authority but about this big news about. russia working with syria sergey lavrov says he promises to support kerry's initiative and he will work with the syrian government to make that happen earlier sergey lavrov met today with while lead the syrian foreign minister they promised to work together towards a peace listen to what sergey lavrov had to say ab

few months ago where a recommendation was made to limit the abuses committed by journalists and william hague the foreign secretary said that these measures should not be introduced in britain because then britain would not be able to castigate russia over its own allegedly of freedom in the media so there's no consistency and it shows how human rights have become a hypocritical mechanism for attacking russia and a hypocritical instrument in foreign policy. voters felt to the right wing and parliamentary election. just enough support. that. the. british. mission to teach. these continues here. on sunday have accused the government of beating waterboarding and electrocuting them but the authorities say they're all part of an illegal opposition group linked to terrorists twenty of the fifty people put behind bars were tried in absentia while those present planned to appeal. he said of monitoring that bahrain center for human rights. group discovered about police tactics. we as a human rights group we are reporting on a daily basis that. mass civilian from security forces and a bigger house on a

around the table when discussing and i think as well the very strong words which are being used by william hague by john kerry etc also disguise the fact that there are other and just that the free syrian army and other groups among the rebels have rejected any deal whatsoever whether it's a chemical weapons or any possibility of peace process and that also weaves the western strategy in tight. so i would say at the moment despite strong words coming from washington london and paris actually they're not in a strong position and they have been worsted in this diplomatic game game so far and rather than continuing to sort of play the the threats the bullying and the rest of it i think we're better trying to make this process work because it does seem to be the only game in town at the moment to stop the slaughter it's terrible that chemical weapons have been used by anyone but this report does not stand by the regime used them it says they probably came from this side of assad lines of battle. and he was of life is deeply deeply regret it was a horrible way to die but it's also clear that chemical
