International diplomacy overseer ya. Russia and the u. S. Have reach the deal to rid the country of its chemical weapons. It took three days of talks in gentleman neave, a but u. S. Secretary of state john kerry and his russian counterpart say gay lavrov have negotiated a plan it. Calls for weapons inspectors to be on the ground in no. Syrias entire chemical weapons arsenal is to be destroyed by the middle of 2014 and the u. S. Will not change its military position. More from geneva. Reporter unlikely partners in diplomacy. Russia and the United States say they have agreed a plan to put syrias chemical weapons out of use, john kerry said neither side was under any immaterial lukill lines butallusion butsai. The world will expect is sawed to live up to its public commitments. 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. And what if he doesnt comply . After meetings that went on for three days in geneva, Sergei Lavrov seems to have achieved russias goal of watering down the u. S. Threat of force. In this approach agreed upon there is nothing said about the use of force or about any automatic sanctions. As i said all violations should be approved to the Security Council convincingly. And we understand the decision that his we have reached today is only the beginning of the road. Reporter these are the key points of the u. S. Russian plan. Syria must submit a form list of its chemical weapons stocks and locations within one week. International inspectors must be allowed to begin their work inside syria by november, the goal is to have eliminated all of syrias chemical weapons by the mid approximately of 2014. Neither man could spell out exactly how to achieve such an ambitious objective. And in the midst of an active war zone. Details, they said, would follow. And its also clear that any attempt to enforce this plan should the Assad Government fail to comply could become so bogged down at the Security Council where, of course, russia has a veto that any threat of u. S. Force has become almost meaningless. The deal in geneva has not gone down well with syrias opposition. And we think that the russians and the Syrian Regime are playing games to waste time and to win time for the criminal regime in damascus. We think that our friends in the western countries and the United States know exactly the main goal of the russian administration, they are trying to find a solution for the regime in damascus, the majority regime. Reporter as syrians continues to die in dozens each day by conventional force, the promise to remove chemical weapons from the battlefield will not shift the ballot ground. But a wider peace conference just might and thats something now being discussed off the back of the negotiations in geneva. Perhaps the greater achievement of these talks has been to bring russia and the United States together on syria. After two and a half years apart. Jonah hull, al jazerra, geneva. There has been strong rea, to this deal fa both sides of the aisle here in u. S. A report from washington. Reporter president obama called secretary of state john kerry in geneva to congratulate him on the diplomatic breakthrough after the president received a briefing from his National Security advisor, susan rice. The president also issued a written statement in which he welcomed these developments but also warned if diplomacy fails the United States remains prepared to act. Those words reinforced by a statement from the pentagon saying that the u. S. Force posture in the region remains unchanged at this point in time. There has been mixed reaction from capitol hill, some Democratic Leaders reacting positively to the framework agreement. But two prominent republican senators, sen tonight john mccain and senator lindsay game are blasting it. They are saying it is an act of provocative weakness, which willam boldin iran in its quest for nuclear weapons. They go onto say that Vladimir Putin and bashar assad are leading the u. S. Down a diplomatic blind alley and that assad will continue to delay and deceive in their words. They maintain that this agreement does nothing to address the underlying problem of the conflict in syria. Which has cost more than 100,000 lives and created an enormous refugees problem. There will undoubt lid be more reaction positive and negative on the sunday talk shows. Some rebel groups in syria are begin to join forces against assad. But many remain fragmented.

And the fighters say their goal is to establish an Islamic State after the down fall of president assads regime. The Free Syrian Army is distancing itself but has no way to control them. Trying to reach out to the groups, the most powerful group have failed. They describe the Free Syrian Army as a gathering of war lor lords. But one thing that most rebels agree on is that damascus is where the most decisive bat is yet to take place. They are controlled by this group. They initially joined the Free Syrian Army but on the ground they remain largely independent. For the time being, units like this one prefer to launch attacks on their own. In this case, the army garrison. But rebels know that their final push to capture damascus and force assad out of power play never take place if they remain fragmented. Al jazerra.
