Fox news obtained state Department Memos that describe the, quote, substandard security all ahead unless breaking news changes everything on studio b. First from fox at 3 00, the russians reportedly handed over their plan for syria as the United States puts the war talk on hold. At least for now, in hopes of a peaceful solution. The secretary of state john kerry set to travel to switzerland tonight to meet with counterparts from russia and syria. Theyll hash out russias proposal to put syrias chemical weapons under international control. At the United Nations, the five permanent members of the Security Council aring meeting today to discuss that plan. It comes after president obamas address to the nation last night in which he continued to make the case for a strike on syria. But he said we need more time to see if the russian proposal will really work. The president asked congress to hold off on a vote to authorize force. Its a drastic slow down after a blitz making the case for war but skeptical Lawmakers Said they would never sign on to the russian plan. Poll after poll Shows Americans are dead set against any military action. The white house seemed to take credit for the turn towarddy loamcy. Theres no question that the credible threat of u. S. Military force brought us this diplomatic opening. Until two days ago, syria did not acknowledge it possessed chemical weapons. Reporter still, the diplomatic plan leaves a lot unanswered like how long the president would wait for syria to hand over the chemical weapons and exactly how do you go about securing an estimated 2 Million Pounds of weapons while a civil war rages around you. President obama also did not explain how the plan would work under russias condition the u. S. Give up any plans to use force. Now there is a new threat in the mix. Just as secretary kerry jets off, a russian lawmaker warns if the u. S. Strikes syria, russia could expand arms sales to iran. Wendell goler is at the white house. The white house is caught in the tricky position here of deciding whether or not to trust the russians. Reporter its not a new position. Trust but verify. White House Press Secretary jay carney says the past week as seen the end of syrias lie that it didnt have chemical weapons and perhaps the end of two years of russia blocking efforts to hold assad accountable. Those two things he said are significant and now he says russia put its prestige on the line. Russias engaging with the United States and other members of the United NationsSecurity Council and other participants and well see where it leads. Its too early to tell if it will be successful. Theretheres reason to be skeptl and were entering this with our eyes wide open. Reporter folks say secretary of state john kerry and russias foreign minister will go over the nuts and bolts of the russian proposal tomorrow. Carney says those two meetings will test the seriousness of the participants. While the administration clear pushed pause, you have others like the democratic West Virginia senator joe manchin pushing for a vote to authorize a strike. Ac ward as best given the president cant lobby for it while conducting discussions about no military action. He may not give those assurances. Its possible the manchin legislation could be voted down. Most members of the house at least were leaning against voting for authorization. In his 9 11 remarks today, mr. Obama suggested the country should have the courage to try diplomacy. Let us have the wisdom to know while force is sometimes necessary, it cannot build the world we seek so with he we commit to the partnerships that builds respect, deepens trust and allows people to live in freedom. The. Wendell goler live at the white house. Thank you. Meantime at the pentagon in new york and shanksville, pennsylvania and cross the country. Thousands of americans got together to remember the victims of the deadly terror attack. 12 years after 9 11. Drums, bagpipes, rang out this morning in the shadow of the rising World Trade Center towers. In an annual tradition, family members read the names of each person killed in the attacks from 1993 and 2001. Many of those relatives included young kids for whom 9 11 has been one of the earliest memories for them. My father, william john irwin, well miss you and ill always remember you and never stop thinking about you. I miss you and will always forever miss you. [bells] they paused for moments of silence to mark the minutes when the plane struck the north and south towers and the minutes when the buildings collapsed. The president and first lady also observing a moment of silence at the white house. Speaking later from outside the pentagon, president obama remarked on the courage and strength of the 9 11 families. Let us have the strength to face the threats that endure, different though they may be from 12 years ago so that as long as there are those that strike our citizens we stand vigilant and defend our nation. An American Flag hanging over the side of one of the pentagons walls today. American Airlines Flight 77 struck that wall 12 years ago killing everyone onboard as well as 125 people in the pentagon. Members of congress filled the steps of the u. S. Capitol to honor the courage of the thousands of men and women who died. From the fallen and from all who have sacrificed so that we may live free, we can take heart that ours are the greatest cause and the work before us is not above our capacitor beyond our strength.

Just yesterday workers broke ground on a permanent flight 93 National Memorial in shanksville. Just the latest sign americans will never forget the terror attacks that forever changed our nation more than a decade ago. Rick leventhal is live at the World Trade Center site. Lots of new yorkers will tell you how frustrated they are this is still a construction site but Developers Point out its one of the most complex projects imaginable and the heart of a major city with heavy traffic on all sides adjacent to the hudson river with 13 subways and a commuter train running underneath or around the site. Theyve navigated obstacles and concerns of family and politicians and the problems can be seen in a time lapse video showing the nine year odyssey from securing the pit and building the foundation, rising floorbyfloor with 26,000 workers, 45,000 tons of steal, 1 million square feet of glass and 200,000 cubic yards of concrete topping off with the antenna or spire on the roof which is 1776 feet tall in all with 3 million square feet of office space in the building. 60 leased as we saw yesterday from the 64th floor sky lobby. The new tenants will be treated to spectacular views. Tower one will be ready next year, tower 4 ready in a couple months. Next spring the 9 11 museum opens with a focus on telling the stories of the victims and the heroes to responded. In the minutes and seconds after the attacks we started to see americans come together with limitless compassion and do the most heroic things for people they never knew. That knowledge for kids and future generations that we can take care of one another when times require is essential and we have to get the story right. That museum will be interactive, free to victims families and cost 20 bucks for the general public. In part to pay for the significant operating cost of the museum. All so well done. Rick leventhal, thank you. The attacks of 9 11 continue to kill people today. More than 1,000 responders have cancer.

As we mark 12 years since the attacks of september 11 and remember the thousands who died, theres an imprint deadline for anyone in Lower Manhattan on or after that day, october 3rd. Thats the final day to sign up for the 9 11 Victim Compensation fund. For people who knew or had reason to know before october 3, 2011, they would come down with an illness related to the attack, registration preserves the right for a claim. Its not just first responders, iron workers, construction employees and others who worked at the site for months. Officials encourage people who lived in the immediate areas to register. The number is expected to grow. With us, new york congressman michael grimm, an fbi agent in Lower Manhattan at the time and spent months at are ground zero and is pushing for survivors and fellow respondatories responders to sign up for the fund. Good to see you. Good to be here. Its important to understand theres a reason youre pushing so hard for people to sign up for the imprint deadline because there are people who may not know they will need these funds in the future, correct . Absolutely correct. Unfortunately many people think that its only the first responders,co firefighters, nypd but as you mentioned, you could have been an iron worker or construction worker or someone handing out supplies, a volunteer. There were so many volunteers handing out masks, water, while we were on the pile. They were all exposed as everyone else so its important everyone understand, if you were at hile or lived in the vicinity, you should sign up and preserve any rights you may have. Youre talking about 2. 8 billion set aside for the fund. Even if you never use that or get your share of the money or need it in the future, god willing people do not need it, its important to put your name on the list just so that if something happens youre protected by the law. Absolutely. That is exactly the point. You want to preserve any rights that you may have. You dont know unfortunately many firefighters, many others, came down with rare cancer many years after the event. After this tragedy. So youre not sure how long some of these diseases could take to actually manifest themself physically. Its very important. Anyone down on that pile, even if you were not working on the pile but you were a half block away handing out water, you were exposed to those i would say that toxic air and you may unfortunately come down with a rare cancer in the near future. Clearly congressman this is a noble cause but while ive got you, i want your thoughts on syria because you switched your support. You came out in favor of strikes and now youre against it because your feeling appears to be if the president was willing to go with peace to begin with, why didnt it . I think theres several things. When i came out to support the president listen, i want to support our president , our commander in chief. Its important for the United States to do so but i was clear when i gave the support there were two things important. That we did not delay and if we were going to do a strike, it be done quickly. The window of opportunity was small. The other thing is i felt it had to be a meaningful strike, not a shot across the bow. As time went on, 72 hours went by, i could see the president was not going to do that. He wanted to wait for us to come into session and not call a special session. The period of time was too long and it didnt think it was going to be a meaningful strike, especially after the secretaries came to the hill and couldnt articulate the goal. Those were important items to make me pull that support ane i still feel that was the right decision at this time. And youre among many lawmakers who switched their support. New york congressman michael grimm, good to see you, thank you, sir. Good to see you, thank you. Coming up, well talk more on syria with Washington Democratic congressman adam smith, one of the major arguments against attacking the Syrian Regime is it could strength rebel groups aligned with alqaeda. We remember the alqaeda attack that killed thousands of americans. How do we square one with the other . Former terrorism expert and neighborhood of Osama Bin Laden is next. co uhoh guess what day it is . . Guess what day it is huh. Anybody . Julie hey. Guess what day it is . . Ah come on, i know you can hear me. Mike Mike Mike Mike mike. What day is it mike . Ha ha ha ha ha ha leslie, guess what today is . Its hump day. Whoot whoot ronny, how happy are folks who save hundreds of dollars switching to geico . Id say happier than a camel on wednesday. Hump day yay get happy. Get geico. Fifteen minutes could save you fifteen percent or more. Well take something tasty and healthy. Must be the honey theres a party going on in your cereal bowl os can help lower cholesterol oh why does it taste so great . Hey must be the honey trace fox news is investigating the situation on the ground in syria and extremely complicated task it has to be. The government restricts access. A civil war is raging and dozens of rebel groups are operating in the country. According to a report from the dc think tank Homeland Security project, part of the Bipartisan Policy Center the Rebel Movement in syria has overlap with alqaeda. This report 12 years after the 9 11 attack. It says if the u. S. Helps the rebels it could mean we would inadvertently help alqaeda. One rebel group is effectively a branch of alqaeda. Rebel group has provided social services to build support with people in the areas it controls. If that group and others like it gain control of syrias chemical weapons, they could smuggle them out of country and use those weapons in future attacks. Robert young pelten is an author and filmmaker and spent time with alqaeda Members Around the world since the group was formed. At one point Osama Bin Laden was his neighbor. Good to see you. How are you . Im well, sir. Thank you. My question is, do you believe as others do that alqaeda is not on its heels, that alqaeda is actually inside syria flourishing . Alqaeda is in a number of countries and set up countries in places as wide ranging as somalia, afghanistan, the taliban and nigeria. Its doing well and theyre more powerful in Northern Africa and the middle east than in the early 90s. Remember they were an offshoot of us funding islamic groups. In the 80s, 6 billion was pumped in to fundamentalist groups which was spread across the the world create alqaeda today. Trace we said by helpingni t rid of Bashar Alassad we might be inadvertently helping the rebels. What about the flip side . What if we dont help the rebels . Do they say america left us hanging and were going to lean more towards alqaeda, who is giving us schools, money, food and housing in some cases . co trace, we have a mechanism set up in the 60s by president kennedy, u. S. Special forces, green beret, trained to support and train rebel groups and shape them on the battlefield. We neglected to do that. We did this in afghanistan, sent in special forces after 9 11 and shaped the government of afghanistan. Under the Obama Administration we have chosen not shape that conflict so its shaped up and were between two rotating lawn mower blades. The shia conflict and the eastwest thing and we got on the wrong side going against assad, who a moderate shia leader and ended up supporting the growth of this sunni arm of alqaeda. Trace you have long argued the u. S. Has been on its heels in the middle east and russia leading the charge. When you watch whats happening, the chess game with Vladimir Putin leading the charge, what are your thoughts . Well, first of all i think obama was playing chess, taking a long time to make complicated moves and putin was playing checkers. He stole president obamas lunch money and moved quickly to form an alliance with assad, china and iran to come up with a peace plan. As you know, the main criteria of military action is speed, surprise and balance of action. I dont think president obama understand, so now we have to deal with the u. N. And a complex group of diplomats
