Violence. Freezing production. We dont want significant gyrations in prices. Four of the Biggest Energy giants reach an agreement to put the brakes on plunging oil crisis. One country could ruin the deal and launch into orbit. How an advanced observes satellite will track everything from mass migration to climate change. Good evening, im antonio mora. This is al jazeera Americas International newshour. Tonight we begin with new developments in the syrian civil war. Russia is denying accusations that it committed a war crime after air strikes on hospitals and schools killed 50 people. Footage released by activists show who appears to be banned cluster bombs dropped from russian jets striking rebel controlled areas. Turkey and saudi arabia are among the nations calling for Ground Troops in syria, as the russianbacked forces advantages to the border. Washington has said no to that request. Meanwhile the Syrian Government has given the u. N. The approval to send aid to the country. Jamie mcintyre reports from the pentagon on the impact of russias aerial offensive. The latest video posted on social media shows the armys advance on aleppo, once a rebel stronghold and syrias largest city, before five years of fighting drove much of the population away. Overhead a russian jet appears to drop cluster bombs, and unguided munition condemned by the u. S. For urban conduct, because it can cause widespread indiscriminate casualties. The u. S. Accuses russia of bombing a Doctors Without Borders hospital in northern syria, reducing it to a pile of rubble. Killing several doctors and patients. No coalition or u. S. Planes were operating in the area at the time. While the u. S. Stopped short of labelling the strike a war crime. The attack was called horrific. We are confident in the safety that russia carried out the strikes. Should aleppo fall days before the fighting is instituted. It would end hopes of overthrowing Bashar Alassad, and fuel the criticism that the agreement negotiated by secretary of state john kerry in munich played right into the hands of russian president Vladimir Putin. We have seen this movie before in ukraine. Russia presses its advantage militarily, creates facts on the ground. Uses a denial and deliver of humanitarian aid as a bar anning chip, negotiating agreement to lock in the New South Wales of war, and chooses went to resume fighting. This is diplomacy in the service of military aggression. President obama disputes the idea that he has been outfoxed by russian president Vladimir Putin, arguing Vladimir Putin blundered into a costly quagmire, and over time will train resources while backing an ally with little strategic value. What is it that rusha thinks it gains if it gets a country that has been completely destroyed as an ally. That it has to perpetually spend billions to prop up. Thats not that great a price. The pentagon insists the agreement does not affect the war against i. S. I. L. , and that u. S. Forces will play no role in delivering aid or protecting convoys from the attacks. We have not been asked to provide that role at this point. And we do think that there is a need for the aid to make it to the people that are needed. That is what this hostility will test. When you say we are not involved in plans for action, do you think the people in syria will think why on earth not . Its not something that we have been asked to do at this point. In an address carried by the staterun newsagency. President Bashar Alassad sounded as defiant as ever, and seemed to cast doubt on a ceasefire, saying if it happened, it doesnt mean that each party will stop using weapons. Joining us now is robert forth, former u. S. Ambassador to syria, hes a senior fellow joining us from new haven effect. Happy to have you with us. Was the announcement last week much ado about nothing, given the intransigent position of most parties. Its not likely to take effect. If it does, it will be rife with violations. The two sides are very far from any kind of compromise, political deal. Senator kain argues this is ukraine over again. The russians postponed ceasefires, intensified bombings, and violate the ceasefire, repeating the process. Does he have a point. I cant say the russians violated what was agreed upon in munich, it was not supposed to begin until the end of this week anyway. What is clear, however, is that the russians have said publicly that they will continue to bomb the rebels in aleppo. And they said publicly that they are all terrorists, and, therefore, theres no prospect of any kind of cessation of hostilities in and around aleppo, which is the main theatre of fighting at the moment. And again, the administration has been criticized for being too massive. We heard Jamie Mcintyre say that should aleppo fall, it will play into their hands. The American Government has not tried to gain leverage over the russians or the Bashar Alassad government in syria to help make a compromise political deal possible. Absent pressure on the Syrian Government, absent pressure on the russians, i cant see how well get to a compromised political deal to settle the conflict. All this seems to lead to the Syrian Government becoming emboldened. Bashar alassad is talking tough. He doesnt sound like someone willing to negotiate the end of a regime, which is what the coalition wants. The difference is in Bashar Alassads tone in july, when the army was reeling, retreating, when the regime appeared on the verge of defeat. Fastforward several months to now. And he sounds trium fanned, saying that we will not negotiate with a terrorist. And really, its because the russians escalated dramatically and theres no response from the friends of the syrian opposition. Is there a hope of a solution to deleting i. S. I. L. If the coalition doesnt bite the bullet. I dont think Bashar Alassad has enough soldiers to occupy the eastern half of syria. Bashar alassad is short of soldiers, which is why hes bringing in shia fighters from places like iraq and afghan refugee camps. Its not lining up would be hooking ourselves up to a patient in intensive care Angela Merkel argued in favour of a nofly zone in the nearby parts of syria, something the turks called for, the u. S. Resisted that. Is one necessary . A safe zone might ease some of the worst aspects of the refugee crisis. It would ease some of the suffering of some of the syrian civilians whose suffering has been horrible by all standards. It does not end the conflict. I want to be clear about that. A safe zone is a bandaid whereas the conflict itself is a very serious illness. And your rehabilitation to the barrel bombs and the killing of incidents, what should the reaction be from the u. S. Led coalition. The first thing is american officials need to stop saying the russians are playing a positive role. Lets be clear, they are hitting civilian targets left and right. And they do not care at all. The second point is the russians will not adjust to their behaviour until they feel pain. What will make them feel pain on the ground in syria, is when their allies start to suffer more casualties. If the United States and its allies take a more aggressive line in syria, some argue that Vladimir Putin has opened the door for a possible world war iii. I dont think the russians want to fight world war iii over syria, i dont think the United States wants to fight world war iii over syria, but i do think that a subtle but clear messing to the russians, that they cannot impose surrender, a cutle but clear message to the Syrian Government that it couldnt impose surrender, that the war will go on until theres a negotiation. That is necessary to get to the compromise. The sooner the United States do that, the better. Ambassador, good to have your insights. Thank you.
