Lights shine brightly over manhattan. Tonight we begin with syria and a diplomatic solution. The International Security council are coming up with plans to strip syria of its chemical weapons. But what if syria does not comply . Al jazeeras diplomatic edit hear more. The negotiations here at the y. And at missions at the u. N. Agree that Everyone Wants syria to hand over their chemical weapons, but there are different ways to achieve that. The russians have shared that with their american counterparts. The french are also come up with their plan. They shared that with the u. S. Also the u. K. We understand. Theyve been working on that draft ever since al jazeera obtained a copy of it. We understand there is now a second draft that is being shown to members of what is called the permanent five. Those are the five members of the u. S. Security couple that can veto. They are the u. K. The u. S. And france on one side of the argument, and then russia and china. Before the u. N. Can pass a resolution, the u. S. And its allies must find Common Grounds with russia. Talks begin with russia and china. In europe and the United States, prescriptions for military action against syria are on hold but not off the table. Senior members gather to discuss the latest developments, and frances president Francois Hollande had this tootosay. ,. Russia objects to wording that includes a threat of military action if syria does not comply. Here in geneva there will be a diplomatic showdown between russia and the United States over this question, the issue of threat forced if a plan to put syrias chemical weapons out of play doesnt work. But the United States may not be able to afford to back down or risk as some fear a plan which is essentially unenforceable. That said, president obama is keen to avoid the use of force all together in achieving the key goal of taking syrias chemical weapons out of the battlefield. The assad regime must keep its commitments. Russia is one of assads strongest allies. Another important member china has welcomed the russian initiative. Russia has already made a proposal to resolve the syrian chemical weapon issue, and this has created an important opportunity to defuse the present situation and reduce concerns about the chemical weapons issue. We hope that all sides can seize this opportunity and resolve this issue by political and diplomatic means. The latest developments if they can be taken seriously, show they have stepped back from the inconsiderate and mistaken action theyve taken the last few weeks. We hope this isnt serious. What happens in geneva may determine whether a diplomatic course does succeed. But the obstacles are a means to do it. And as we mentioned france has come up with a draft resolution to put chemical weapons under u. N. Control. France demands that those responsible are judged by the International Criminal court, and it threatens the use of military force if syria does not come apply. This has all been rejected by russia. Lets go to the u. S. Ambassador to nato and professor ambassad ambassador, good to see you. Thank you for joining us. Thanks very much. So what does john kerry have to do to make this happen . Well, john, i think secretary kerry has a very difficult job in geneva. The u. S. I think is right to seek a diplomatic solution, but the solution is going to be viewed differently in moscow than washington. The u. S. Needs to see that president alassad is going to hand over his weapons stocks in a very short time frame. Two organizations associated with the haguebased organization. And president obama has been saying that the u. S. Will retain the right to use force should syria not comply with this plan. Presidenpresident putin said one other hand he had not allow force and chapter 7. The United States have a right to use that force. I think these are going to be very key areas of negotiation. So are these items nonnegotiable on both sides . Well, it remains seen. President putin said he would not support any use of force by the United States or france under an u. N. Resolution. President obama said and hes colleagues have said the reverse. This is what diplomacy is about. If they can be taken out of syria and taken away from control, and find a way for france to identif have the use t of force. The u. S. And france will have to retain that pressure no matter what the Security Council resolution said. Ambassador, how long do negotiates like this take . It could take a while because things are simple when the United States and russia agree and things are not simple when they dont. And there isnt a simple agreement. I think president obama did something in his speech. He didnt lay down any specific items for the resolution. Hes trying to leave flexibility for himself and secretary kerry for greater diplomacy. A larger configuration of countries that would including turkey, saudi iran, would be brought in not on the issue of a chemical weapon but on another issues. Can th they give more support to the Syrian People who are suffering with 6 million refugees outside of the country. If you can create that common base action it might make this much eastier from all parts. We hear from that theyre bringing in inspectors from th geneva, why. How difficult will it to be put hundreds of weapons inspectors in the middle of a civil war. So part of the question for both russia and the United States is how would you organize inspections, who would carry it out, which organizations would have responsibility, and under what authority . U. N. Security couple at a minimum would want to condemn the use of chemical weapons by president assads government, and want to authorize an Inspection Team to go into syria to identify those weapons and take them away from the Syrian Government. I think the u. S. Government can agree on that. What they cannot agree on is whether a resolution should be binding and compel all those to adhere to it. The use of force, do the United States need to keep that on the table in order to force this to happen or not . I think it does on a practical basis. The Syrian Government is a cynical government. Its an untrustworthy government. It has not told the trust for decdecades until yesterday when they said they had the weapons. You have got to assume that they will not do the right thing voluntarily. Unless they feel pressure from france and other countries. The u. S. And france will assert it independently the threat of for the state. U. S. Doesnt wanstatethe thref force. The u. S. Does not want to use this force. Ambassador nicholas burns. Thank you for sharing your expertise, we appreciate it. Even as the Obama Administration considers its next move, americans remember the horrible events that happened 12 years ago on 9 11. Since the president s primetime speech it has been the calm after the storm. It has been a day in washington and elsewhere, even a quiet hush has fallen all over the capital. [ singing ] you. Were pennsylvania to the pentagon today the nation paused as it has every september 11th for the last 12 years to remember. In new york the names of the fallen were read. One young woman had a plea for the president. My uncle, i was only three when you were taken from us, and we love you and miss you very much. President obama, please do not bring us to another war. Syria seemed to be on the president s mind as well as he remembered the 125 who perished that day at the pentagon. Let us have the wisdom to know that force may at times be necessary, force is not what we seek. President obama asked again for authorization to strike syria, but he also wants to pursue the diplomatic opportunities provided by russia. The russians who were v been supplyinsupplies the weapow take them. Thats impossible. Were willing to give it a chance but not a long chance. If syria agrees to give up its arms, how will they show that theyre all accounted for. How would you go in, how would you destroy . The white house is weary of stalling. But they will go in and see if the proposal will work. Weve seen more cooperation and more activity on this matter from the russians than weve seen in the last few days than weve soon in the last few years. John . Mike viqueira at the white house, thank you. Now ray kelly was named new york citys Police Commissioner shortly after 9 11, and he told us today the city remains a target for terrorists around the world. Were seeping a close eye on the situation in syria. Were sensitive to thattation. To help better protect the people of the city at times, and there is an ongoing threat to new york. It comes from a variety of sources, but new york is at risk. Why is it at risk . Because its a communications capitol. Its a financial capitol. Weve had two major attacks in new york city that exceeded. And thats hour operating sumps that people thought w they would come here and kill new yorkers. We have to look over the horizon and over the whole world and see if aims are aimed at us. That is a responsibility of the federal government. We rely on the government t. They keep their ear to the grouped, but were concerned about those organizations mentioned. Now alqaeda in iraq. And we have alqaeda in the Arabian Peninsula in yemen. So these are areas where alqaeda movement is strong. Its per meanting. And we have to be concerned about it. Of course security in new york and across the United States has spent drastically to prevent another attack. And ali velshi reports business is booming forecontracters. 12 years after that faithful day in america americas security secretarier is booming. The government spends six times what it spent in 2001 fueling the nations security apparatus. Funding accounted for more than onehalf billion dollars. Since september will will there has been growth with a change in what you can do with a technical degree. Adding thousands of private qatars to its parole rules, their double has been place in the market specializing in security and new hardware. That has turned some portions of thofthe capitol into security h. Kevin started his own analysis company. His firm uses complex allegory rhythcomplex softwareusing algo. You see the presence of this particular weapon. It is 3 throughout the month of june. Then all of a sudden in july, we see a jump to 7 . Well, you could watch those videos all day, and youll never see that jump. The Video Surveillance market has doubled in the past two decades, and its not just overseas. They can identify faces and rule out threat. American companies have basically been compelled to work with the defense establishment to provide critical intelligent to nsa, many times at the risk of their own best interest. Ali velshi, al jazeera. One year after an attack that killed four mens in bengahzi, a car bombing went on this morning. Officials say no one was killed but several were injured. No group has claimed responsibility. The Hurricane Season goes from june 91 to november 30th. So were about halfway through the season, and we do have our first hurricane that started today. I wanted to show you that here on the wall. Its actually out here towards the eastern part of the atlantic. There it is right there. This is umberto. Well watch it closely to see where it goes. This is expecting to north and then over here towards the east. Then the other one were talking about is gab reyell. The big problem is this area right here, National Hurricane center is watching it very carefully. We do think that it is going to be moving into the gulf of mexico, and then towards mexico. We do think that a lot of heavy rain is going to be falling. This means flooding for many people there. Kevin, thanks. Say nothing to gun control. Still ahead onager on al jazeere missouri legislatures effort toss overrule federal regulations. Were keeping an eye on a developing story out of missouri today. The state house of representatives has voted to override the governors veto on the controversial new law, a bill that would ban all federal gun laws in that state. How did the vote go, jonathan . Well, john, it was extremely close. About as close as you can get in the house. Lawmakers needed 109 streets override the governors veto, and that was the exact amount they got. So clearly some of these lawmakers came and changed their minds. But what were waiting on now is to see what the senate will do. They also have to pass this with a twothirds majority. If that happens this will now become law. The governors veto will be overwritten. This has been a highly controversial piece of legislation effectively what it does is nullify federal gun laws in the state of missouri, and there is a section in this bill that would set up criminal penalties for fbi agents and atf agent who come in and try to impose federal gun laws. We discuss the implications. Im not trying to make federal agents criminal, i want to make sure that when they come to this state one, they know the law. Two, they stay in the frame of the law, and three, they dont violate the constitutional right of missourians. Thats all im trying to do. Right now the senate is voting and discussing this particular legislation. This it passes it will be law and likely lawsuits will follow. Several groups have said they will file lawsuits. This all despite missouris attorney general who said if this becomes law it will be unconstitutional. Jonathan, thank you. We have news on the yankees. Yes, the yankees place derek jeter on the disabled list again. Will the captain return next year . He has a player option for 9. 5 million, and the yankees are confident that hell be ba back and speaking of the yankees, theyll be coughing up 29 million. To put that in perspective. That 29 million is more than the entire payroll for the houston astros. And if the season ended today, they would not be in th in the. Angry giant fans, you are irrelevant to me tom coughlin would not commit to starting him against the braincase broncos, u might want to talk to them about using social media. Well be right back. Welcome back to al jazeera. Here are the top stories. [ bell ringing ] the day began with bells and a moment of silence to mark the is i12th anniversary of the att. Tonight in new york, the annual tribute in light shines in the sky to remember and honor more than 3,000 people who died. Five permanent members of the u. N. Security council met this afternoon trying to reach an agreement on syrias chemical weapons supply. A french draft resolution would give syria 15 days to clear their weapons and make them available for inspection before theyre destroyed. Secretary of state john kerry and Russian Foreign minister will meet tomorrow in geneva to talk about disarms syria. U. S. Officials say they want an outline to destroy syrias chemical weapons. What happens in syria could have implications around right world. From washington, d. C. Served as ambassador to iraq and National Security adviser in president george w. Bushs administration. Am basambassador, its good to you. Its good to be here. Give me a sense of what you expect to have happen in geneva. First of all there will an major debate over any of the agreement. Particularly the american desire to have the recurs to force any resolution or policy moving forward. This is absolutely necessary. We wouldnt be where we are if president obama had not threatened force. The moment we take that off the table, the desire for russia or syria to talk to even potentia potentially yield their chemical weapons again will be off the table. That sounds like a nonstarter for russia, is it a deadend right at the beginning or what . Well, you often start like that. The way to pass these differences is to try to find in many cases language that such as 1991 for the first gulf war you use all necessary means or make reference to countries National Security interest. President obama stressed taking care of this problem is an u. S. National security interest, and certainly the russians are not going to be able to block us from using military force or asserting the right to use military force. So in a short period of time should we have some sense whether or not these talks works or whether or not well have resolution through the u. N. Security council . I think it will take some time because these negotiations always do, but we do not want to see this being dragged out. The most important thing is the military issue, which is that syria does not use these chemical weapons again particularly in a catastrophic way or military way that it did in the past. President obama needs to stress that to the syrians and to the world, that these are unacceptable, and hes ready to use military force. The most important thing is that these weapons are not used again. The real question is if the syrians are really going to comply. How do you make a judgment about that . The best way to make a judgment is you issue an ultimatum. You comply or when there is evidence that youre not complying it is a new ballgame and the u. S. Would strike high value targets that assad has. I would say in the middle of a civil war that is not an easy process for inspectors. Well among other things we dont know what the role of the inspectors would be or if you even need inspectors. The Syrian Government has control over these chemical we was. They also have control over the areas why the vast majority of these chemical weapons are located. It would be possible to consolidate them in smaller areas. It would be possible for inspectors to come in and it would be possible to have ceasefire. There are a number of things that they can put together. That is if there is a will. Im asking how can you veri verify. You can never verify completely. Probably the Assad Government does not know wh the whereaboutf all of their chemical weapons in the midst of war. But we have to make is clear that well respond militarily if theyre used again. You sound optimistic about the possibility of the resolution. Im optimistic because we were in a real fix a couple of days ago. I disagree with president obama to take this to the congress. He was going to lose and what a predicament we were going to be under those conditions. This gives us the opport
