that resolution would also demand syria dismantle the weapons. that resolution would warn of extremely serious consequences if it breached those conditions. >> we seek the elimination of the chemical weapons and the protection of the syrian people. we saw with the russian proposals on monday and it was our determination to act including militarily that created a new path towards that goal. we wish to explore this new path in good faith. but we do not want to see it work as a delaying tactic, all options currently remain on the table. >> france's prosed security resolution comes as russia has been pushing through a similar plan to put syria's weapons under international control. moscow says it's now discussing with the syria regime and a spokesman for putin says the russian president and barack obama discussed the idea of putting syrian weapons under international control at the g 20 summit last week. here's more from the russian foreign minister. >> we suggest to him looking at the possibility, namely of putting syrian chemical weapons under inte

we are stocking big companies rather than stocking syria. listen, what is this all about? >> they have an issue of life and death and instead they are able to give it this. it is astounding. this has to do with a hearing with apple where they incorporated a lot of their business in ireland and ireland only has a 12.5% corporate tax rate and then you get to deduct any earnings for intellectual property. everyone got serious because it apple is moving their business to ireland so they can protect their income. so these bunch of jokers got together and decided that they are going to crack down on these companies and take advantage of legal loopholes are trying to strong-arm companies like ireland trying to change their tax law. neil: even if it were not that important, i would say that it was lower on the to do list. >> i think you are right. this is an age-old thing for politicians. you go back to mckinley running for president and william jennings bryan had the same platform back then. whenever you have low approval ratings of politicians, they go after big business or bank

for us, the syria accountability act. it is also true because we share a common humanity and common decency. terror isolationism. this is not the time to bewe have spoken up against the past. now we must and up and act and protect our security, protect our values, and lead the world with conviction that is clear about our responsibility. thank you. >> [inaudible] order. the committee will be in order. please restore order. the american people do not want this. >> secretary hagel. >> the first time i testified before this committee when i very similar to that protester. i would say that is exactly why it is so important we are all here having this debate, talking about these things before the country, and that the itself will act representing the of view, and we do. we all know in the coming warwick scale gas attacks perpetrated by the syrian government against its own people. as a former senator and a member of this committee, i welcome this debate, and i strongly support president obama's force in syria. as each of us kn

in syria, the fighting goes unchecked. we reported on a horrific bomb attack in which many children received injury due to a napalm like a substance. they began their journey on a refugee camp on the turkish border, and there are disturbing images in their report. >> northern syria, right on the border with turkey, but the gates are closed, and the people here cannot travel the final few meters to safety. two british doctors, 2000 miles away from home. they are here because they want to bring relief to some of the nearly 5 million people in syria who have lost your homes to the brutal conflict that rages here. withoctors are working hand-in-hand for syria, a charity that set up a doctors cap. a six-year-old daughter was killed, his home destroyed by a government warplane. his wife was pregnant with twins at the time. traveling around syria has never been more dangerous. both foreign journalists and aid workers have been targeted. some have been killed. rival rebel factions now fight each other as well as the government, an

should militarily intervene in syria. congresswoman did anything tonight that you heard from the president, both in laying out the case and laying out the case to push off a vote, so that diplomacy can have some time to work. did any of it push you in one direction or the other? >> chris, let me start and say i am the mother of a marine war veteran. served both in iraq and afghanistan. i come to this process -- probably like most americans. i am against war. and the last thing i want to do is send anybody's dad or son into a war. the president has come to congress, a man i respect very much. to ask for military action in syria. despite my bias. i want to take the time to be deliberate. what the president, gave a 15-minute speech. i have spent the last ten days or so. talking to world leaders, i was on a trip, to the mideast when, when, he started this conversation with congress. myself and colleagues we have read classified briefings. we have had many, many discussions today. i spent a couple of hours, colleagues with the

but it's hard to avoided a conclusion that this debate we have been having about syria, shows howdies enganged the american people are from foreign affairs. how almost distainful they are towards the world. totally putting aside what the outcome is, it is striking to me when i think about -- i have a book shelf full of books that were written at 9/11, that say that america is traditionally not only strong, but even an aggressive country, americans are from mars, americans use military solutions. now we see this propound disengangment from the world, that's i think created the question of what does the united states does in syria. when you look at the polls people will say not only that i think it is a bad idea, to enter syria, which is a super tough call, put any form of endangerment, the idea that quite has a global role, if there is anybody that is doing to try to deal with international problems the quite has to be in the forefront of that. people think that's just wrong. they don't want to be there. >> you mentioned this distain, but then that begs the very natural question, where

syria has lost as a country, and syrian people have lost. i was hoping that president obama addresses more the humanitarian situation. what can be done to relieve the suffering. whether they are inside and outside. i was hoping he would use this chance, where maybe they are open for compromise to enforce the cross boarder assistance, so we can help the people in the north and the south. >> i know your parents and sitter are still back there. the house and homes were destroyed uh how often are you in contact with them? have things gotten worse. >> is there seems to be more refugee refugees and e people being displaced. >> i speak with them every few day, if the phone line is open. they are very anxious, very scared. last time i spoke with them they told me they were starting up with food and first aid items. my sister has to move from her parent because it was destroyed. my arounds have proved from their neighborhood because it was shelled by a tank. and this is the situation for syrians. most of them are displaced. taytum us how long we can

the here at home because focus is on the issue of syria right now. it is demoralizing to hear members of congress saying we cannot get our work done over here. that does not make any sense whatsoever. we should be able to fix a broken immigration system. the senate has already acted. even if the house is not believe -- does not believe they can get their act together, they can give us a chance to vote. that is not mean democrats are ready. democrats are ready to vote for a comprehensive fixed our immigration system. let the leadership but a vote on the floor of the house on a the systemoes fix which will reduce our deficit i the tune of close to a trillion dollars. it will create jobs. are working families and organizations. you name it. businesses to the high- tech community to defenders of immigrants all say we can do this. why not at least give us a vote up or down? at least give america the chance the house can do something. en.are brokin that theyer issue is had expected to tackle early on the debt limit. we heard from jack lew that we will reac

i'm from aleppa, syria. my family is there. the crisis was getting so massive, if there was something that i could do as an artist a creative person, i had to do something. as a human being it's our responsibility to take care of these kids in some shape, way or form. i created a program of art and, which is what we brought to these kids. we were crossing the border with our team every day into syria from turkey. we built a playground at the largest refugee camp with our partners on the ground, the foundation that we worked with there, at the ultimate camp, and you know, we needed to way to bring joy to give these kids some kind of sense of carefree childhood that had been robbed from them because of this tragic situation going on. >> why is joy important? we're talking about large-scale problems, how does it help to have art and cultural grounding influences in lives. >> i think each of us can relate to the story that kinda is telling. it's not replicated once or twice but a million times in syria. what kind of future does syr

should france intervened in syria? to debates will begin it. they will not take a vote, but it will indicate a level of support for the president and a possible military strike. parliament of the has written directly to the the case wasand made against war. gods let us in to the assembly, serious parliament. they have just sent a letter to the counterpart. its aim, persuading french mp's to oppose a strike on syria. he invokes a common enemy, al qaeda. >> anyone who attacks syria is essentially supporting terrorists and strengthening them. france cannot take part in such an aggression. >> one man lost his father in 1980 during the muslim brotherhood were hold. his brother was killed. he believes by islamicist government. he thinks this is a key argument in the case he makes to french mp's. >> syria is the last secular state in the middle east. fighting terrorism. not only now, but in the past, we have the experience of fighting the muslim brotherhood in the night and 70s. to defends ready himself, he says. he warns of the unintended consequence

navy destroyerdestroyers currently oe coast of syria. the possibility of a strike by delaying the use of them, by giving critics a chance partly because he doesn't have the votes. >> i think the president has decided to slow this down because nothing is work the way i believe he and his advisors have thought it would. >> his top aids make the arguments he repeated on tuesday. pollsters and politician he have been told they don't want to intervene in syria. hoping a new speech and a new setting begins to change that. patty culhane al jazeera washington. >>> so obama is pushing for diplomacy on syria's chemical weapons, but some of the are actions have been frustrated. >> here at the united nations, i think it's fair to say that all of the countries that sit on the security council generally support the overall idea that syria should give up its chemical weapons and hand them to the international community so they can't be used and eventually can be destroyed. the problem is in the detail. how do you get to that? how construct a resolution

new york democrat steve israel supports president obama's syria plan. tennessee republican marsha blackburn is against it. we're dlited both of you are here. let me start with you, congressman israel. how much do you trust the russians to take the leadership in finding a path when it's their ally who's in the middle of this? >> you will be happy to know, newt, that i agree with ronald reagan's assessment, trust but verify. and we need to spend the next several days verifying. that's exactly what's happening. secretary kerry is en route to geneva to meet with lavrov. they need to put this in a pressure cooker. if it withstands pressure, we should take it. i believe putin's calculated that it is in his interest to do a deal. we have to ascertain whether it's in our interest to do this deal. >> here's my question, when you look at david kay and other united nations inspectors, they say that this is virtually impossible to do. you have huge amount of chemical weapons scattered around the country in the middle of a civil war. and the process of going in ther

>> president obama goes into syria for one reason, to stabilize syria or the middle east. by doing so, i believe, and so do the american people believe, that by doing so he's going to have the opposite effect. he's going to destabilize the region. >> you believe we do not act -- every other despot in the world will not feel they can use them with impunity? >> i don't believe that's the case. >> you said iraq, afghanistan, didn't seem to have any effect. it was a precedent that didn't matter to bashar al assad because he didn't seem in any way dissuaded from acting in the way he does. >> what did you mean by that? >> i'm just saying the threat of america doing something had no effect on assad's dealing and, you know, perhaps 100,000 deaths in this country -- >> can we take a step back? if the american people don't want it, why are we doing it? why would we say, go ahead, president obama, risk our money, risk our lives. what's the point? >> there's too much confusion behind it because no one has a clear answer. >> the american people didn't want medicare either. >> did he no

you traveled to the north of syria. how much do you think it has changed smr >> many times and i cannot agree more with martin. having observed it from the very beginning, i went there in spring of 2011 until a couple of months ago. there is definitely an increased influence by the johnny groups and the one thing that i keep repeating is that the longer this continues the more we will see of that. more in action we will see from the west, the more influence those groups are going to get and that is where i think we emphasize every time that no matter what action is taken, no matter what is taken, there needs to be a clear plan. there needs to be a clear plan to address potential attacks by these groups. we are documenting more abuses. some and he needs to do something. this is a solution that should be on the table all the time. the solution will address abuses by both sides and that is necessary no matter what political negotiations take place. >> and action will only delay with the west has to get involved in the midd

tomorrow congress votes to bomb syria the latest war of the post nine eleven era the u.s. would now officially be al qaeda as a force and its former congressman kusin it but america's had enough nine in ten oppose this invasion the most popular in history regarding the live and a massive eighty four percent now say the government's lowing we now have the president documented the government's prepared to commit supremum crimes against its population exactly what happened on nine eleven couldn't be all good by both so cool conspiracy theorists and they also are a tease. what's beyond dispute is on the eleventh of september the world will join to mourn the almost three thousand innocent people who lost their lives this is the truth seeker. but. you know that you know the price is the only industry specifically mention in the constitution and. that's because a free and open process is critical to our democracy albums. in fact the single biggest threat facing our nation today is the corporate takeover of our government and across several we've been a hydrogen client handful of

between these groups you have a larger debate within syria, within the option the future of syria, the tactics that you use. you know, what kind of goals of this movement are. and you have groups like nusra who are an affiliated with eastern syria bumping up with iraq, and then northern syria, which is why they have so many news coverage, they use the brutal tactics. >> and they've been getting arms from their allies. we've been seeing shocking pictures throughout this terrible war. we saw new ones, front page of the "new york times." here we see a still that shows members of a militant group in the north of syria minutes before they executed seven soldiers from the regime who are lying there on the ground. a number of those soldiers appear to have been beaten before they were shot. and with incidents like that one, and you know, the al-qaida-backed groups that have had success on the battlefield, can you see where so many americans are reluctant to get involved with syria? >> first of all, i would like to make clear the supreme military council and syrian opposition coalition, the civ

he did admit the american people are overwhelmingly against intervening in syria. he doesn't have the votes in congress, so now the vote won't happen as expected on wednesday. >> i think what we need to do is make sure that the president has the opportunity to speak to all 100 senators and all 300 million american people before we do this. >> reporter: the president will speak to the senate and the american people on tuesday. trying again to make the case for strikes in syria, polls show his arguments have so far been unconvincing and if not confusing to the majority of americans. patty with al jazeera, washington. >> so the russian plan forcier yeah to hand over the chemical weapons has been getting support from important players in the conflict and the permanent members of u.n. council have a cautious welcome and this is a view from iran, one of syria's strongest allies. >> translator: we say moscow's initiative and the plan is a strategy to stop military in the region and as a country opposing the use of chemical weapons we demand the country to be free of weapo

a strike on syria. aljazeera, hastings, michigan. >> for more now on which way congress may be leaning on syria, let me bring in lawrence borg, senior fellow for the center of american progress. thank you so much for your time. >> nice to be with you. >> the senate foreign relations committee, obviously this resolution for military action has gotten out of committee, right, that's the beginning of the process, but when there is such a disconnect between what the polling says, so many american people want, and what the president wants, what is the way forward for what the president wants? >> well, i think it's important that keep in mind that most americans really are not that concerned about it, unless it would lead to another type of iraq or afghanistan. we don't have a draft. none of those people who were there have to have their sons and daughters go, unless it goes long, it's not going to cost a lot of money. some people are concerned, but that's not the big issue, when men and women in the congress

syria hung over everything. the abiding memory will be of how leaders failed to meet agreement on perhaps the most pressing issue of our time. >>> meanwhile syria's deputy foreign minister has a warning about president obama's call for military action, suggesting it would make a bad situation in syria worse. >> translation: this war that he's going to start against syria is a dangerous war, threatening the peace and security of the world. it may reflect negatively on america and friends in the world. we hope the congress to be vice and do its duties related to piece and civil security, especially seeing syria did not threaten peace and security in the world. >> some are eager to see the us intervene. we have this report from lebanon - others are suspicious of president obama's intentions. >> this is where the fight for the syrian capital has been happening for a month. the rebel held suburbs. the objective of the campaign, government forces want to prevent rebels entering dams. armed opposition fighters were hop

syria was one not signing the treaty. they said we are ready to fulfill our obligations in compliance with this treaty. we will open our storage sites and cease production. we are ready to open these facilities to russia and the united nations. majority leader harry reid announced it would -- he would postpone a vote to authorize military action. the house of representatives continue to debate the issue. holding a hearing earlier with top administration officials. >> chairman of the joint chiefs took to disarming syria. unlike the previous hearing last week, there is a nonmilitary solution on the table. it is the russian proposal that indicates the syrian government has agreed to hand over chemical weapons stockpiles and have them destroyed. secretary of state kerry addressed these latest proposals. >> it has to be real, measurable, and tangible. it is exceedingly difficult to fulfill those conditions. we are waiting for that proposal. but we are not waiting for long. >> he did not back down from the threat of military ac

he has questions again. >> syria is a land of history and love. they sent terrorists here to kill syrians and each other. why? i ask why. if a european citizen is slapped across the face, there would be a scandal. how many victims or hundreds of thousands have been slaughtered? when will it stop. >> held by the militants for a week, it seems mountaintops still pose a threat. >> our goal was to liberate it and push on to the monastery. but we could not do it because snipers are everywhere. >> they turned to many monasteries and mosques. we see either crosses and we see jihadist flags. we started to head back. while in the car, something goes wrong. we take cover in a place where we find dozens of army soldiers hiding from enemy bullets. the main road is being targeted and it is our only way out. we think of our chances when our engineer gets hit. thankfully, it is not serious. it becomes clear we can't wait a minute more. i am stuck in this corner and we are trying to get out of here. >> go. >> clear. >> did you hear the bullets? >> we reached a sa

the lawmakers are not rushing back from a break to vote on military action in syria. it could take weeks for a final decision. >>> former south african president nelson mandela returns home from the hospital today but the beloved leader who helped end apaeid remains in critical condition. >> ford recalls cars that could lose ability to steer. some are driven by police officers across the country. >>> president obama asked congress to approve military strikes against syria. the request surprised many in washington and was met with a mix of praise and criticism. at this point, no one knows exactly what the house or the senate might do but for now, it appears to have put the brakes on any military action. >> here is my question for every member of congress and every member of the global community. what message will we send if a dictator can gas hundreds of children to death in a in plain site and pay no price? >> the president's decision pushes back any possible strike on syria at least a week. the senate foreign relations committee will begin debate but any vote before

the topic, is syria. in just a moment, the president will take a short walk down the red carpet, leading to the east room where we expect him to present his case on syria. we expect him to present this in a few minutes. welcome to al jazeera's live coverage of the president's address, let's go quickly to the white house where mike is standing by. what do we expect to hear tonight, mike? >> here is the president's test. seth 9% of

and russia over the chemical weapons of syria. china supports the destruction of the chemical weapons. china also supports a political sentiment over the crisis in syria. china does not favor any foreign military intervention. about north korea, both china and the u.s. agree that denuclearization is the key. but they disagree over how we can approach that. china believes that the six- party talks is still a very good ross s -- good process for achieving that goal. now there is a window of opportunity for the resumption of the party talks and join hands to make sure that we can create a favored environment for the six-party talks. >> we appreciate your time as always. thank you for joining us here on the show. clashes between two syrian rebel groups have continued for a second day. both are trying to take control of the border town azas. at least 15 civilians died in wednesday's fighting and the border crossing into turkey was shut down. it has always been the lifeline for passing humanitarian aid, military supplies, and food to th
