the u.s. and russia agreed to avert a possible u.s. strike on syria. it calls for the country to destroy its chemical weapons stockpile by the middle of 2014. the syrian government has also officially agreed to join an international convention banning chemical weapons. joining me now from boston, gary samore, he served as senior advisor on non-proliferation issues at the national security council during president obama's first term and david sanger, the chief washington correspondent for the "new york times." i'm pleased to have both of them on this program at this time. i just asked this question of both of you. take a look at the implications of the united nations report and tell me what it means and what impact it has. gary, first you. >> well, charlie, i think the u.n. report really will help strengthen the agreement that the u.s. and russia have reached. we now have a good agreement on paper. no doubt chemical weapons were used. frankly, very little doubt that it was the syrian government that was responsible. syrian government has now of course a

russia and china are expected to oppose it. u.s. leaders accuse forces loyal to assad of carrying out a poison gas attack last month in the suburbs of damascus. hundreds of people died. if president blames rebels trying to overthrow his government but he admitted in an interview his country has been stockpiling chemical weapons for years. >> translator: syria has built chemical weapons since decades ago. it's no surprise they are large in amount. >> syria is said to possess about 1,000 tons of the weapons but assad didn't give a precise number. inspectors with the organization for the prohibition of chemical weapons will check the stockpile in november as part of the u.s./russia agreement. assad said his government will guarantee the safety of the inspectors. >>> chemical weapons aren't the only threat to stability in syria. militants affiliated with al qaeda are exploiting the turmoil and attacking both government and opposition forces. islamic militants and opposition free syrian army share the goal of overthrowing the assad gover

investment in russia, that this is the one ,rea, u.s. russian relations and he is theoretically and -- and rhetorically committed to it. when you get down to the details, it is less fear that he really is. the cost ofstood other russians understand it would come at a cost to domestic clinical control. the default is to say, we will just continue where we are going. we talk about modernization sometimes. there is very little evidence at the moment there is any plan in , a concertedow plan for modernization. there are different views you here, but this is not something he is promoting. i want to get back to the question of how views the united states and what he thinks he needs from it. you have to remember where he comes from and what his background is. a place youbly not would come out with a particularly benign view of the united states. from his own perspective, iraq, and much more close to home, the revolution in georgia and the orange revolution in the ukraine, on some level, it convinced him the united states was involved in regime

the u.s. and russia agree on a plane to eliminate syria's chemical weapons but it will work. margaret brennen is in geneva, elizabeth palmer in damascus of course, and holly williams in istanbul. we have stories of narrow escapes after record flooding. the race to clear a massive molasses spill in hawaii is threatening marine life and baffling cleanup crews. and fighting spirit-- terrell brown talks to a man from the front line of new jersey's board walk fire. >> the radio goes off, and we don't hesitate. captioning sponsored by cbs this is the "cbs evening news" >> glor: good evening, everyone. i'm jeff glower with a western edition of the broadcast. the deal came together quickly. the implementation will not. the u.s. and russia say they have an agreement that will avert american airstrikes by removing or destroying all chemical weapons in syria. the deadline-- the middle of next year. in the meantime, the pentagon is keeping the same level of forces in the region, and the u.s. will continue

security council but as one of the five members along with the u.s. russia. china britain and france russia can veto anything so can any of the other four luckily we've got the brits with us we've got the french with us but russia and china they work together they've done it for years to blunt anything that we've tried to do in the security council in the military peacekeeping area so let's say the start was a secured what happens to assad the disease just dizzy do we do this you remain in power where do what's his end game. well his endgame is he wants to stay in power and it's interesting that he's admitted that he had these weapons he never had admitted he said they didn't exist so he was lying he was playing games he obviously wants to stay but my hope is that maybe the russians of tired of him that's my fond hope that the russians and said this guy is losing support he's causing us a nuff problems internationally russia prestige in the middle east has gone down because they help assad in syria they make money out of the relationship selling weapons to hi

only about 2% of russia's total trade is with the u.s. russia ist issue for whether it can liberalize the economy to make it more attractive to foreign investment , especially when it comes to natural resources, which continue to dominate the economy but over which the state has a lot of control. host: we have a democratic caller. theer: i want to say that saying on the president is getting a little ridiculous. there is a lot of different groups in syria, and a lot of them are pretty moderate. .t's not all radical islamists if this guy launches another chemical attack, how are we going to feel? tweet -- how will the russians react if one of their citizens is killed in these serious attacks we are planning? guest: that's a very good question. the answer would be, quite negatively. russia has chosen not to evacuate all of their citizens from syria despite the violence going on. they sent a couple of warships into the mediterranean in the last couple of weeks when it appeared that military action was likely. the most trouble reason for that

third, the u.s. and russia have a consensus on syria's actual chemical weapons stockpile. the question that's going to be faced at the u.n. this week is going to be the enforcement of this resolution. u.s., u.k. and france believe the agreement must be enforced under chapter seven of the u.n. security council, which would authorize punitive measures such as sanction and force. russia feels it should be an avenue to be pursued, but not wanting a reference within the resolution. i think what you will see now -- you're going to see a lot of i don't thinking back and forth and you're seeing that today play out in the headlines. at the end of the day, i do believe a resolution will be agreed upon and i think it will probably be reflective of what we saw in the u.s.-russia agreement last week, which had reference to chapter seven, though not authorized as directly as perhaps the u.s. would prefer. >> maybe implied use of force but not explicit? >> exactly. >> >> it will leave open the option along the lines of in the event of non-compliance, we should take further action under c

russia makes a last ditch effort for diplomacy will it work former u.s. ambassador to the u.n. bill richardson joins us next on politicking with larry king. i heard this in a politicking with larry king having news about syria and the united states this week and joining me from santa fe new mexico is the former united states ambassador to the u.n. an old friend bill richardson he's also the former governor of new mexico and a former congressman and a former energy secretary under bill clinton he's held so many government post thank you for joining me governor we really appreciate this thank you larry it's great that you're back and by the way i can't keep a job that's why i have all those jobs. and i let's get right at it and i would do you assess the president's speech. it was a good strong speech he focused on the need to have the military option on the table he focused on the diplomatic solution he was strong his comments were heartfelt and he basically took a gamble with seeing what the russians and the syrians have to offer. i think you want to try a diplomatic solution an

and russia to rid the country of its chemical weapons stockpiles. u.s. secretary of state john kerry and his russian counterpart, sergey lavrov, reached the agreement after three days of intense talks. senior international correspondent matthew chance joins us now by phone from geneva. matthew, what more can you tell us about this -- oh, there you are live -- what more can you tell us about this agreement? >> reporter: well, it does seem to be a very significant agreement. it's astonishing really, isn't it, that it took that appalling chemical attack on the outskirts of damascus last month for russia, a big supporter, of course, of bashar al assad, and his regime, and the united states to come together on this issue. after three days of intensive negotiations, at this hotel here in geneva, it does now appear to be full agreement on how best to rid syria of chemical weapons and put them into international control. take a listen to what the secretary of state, john kerry, had to say. >> we have reached a shared assessment of the amount and type of chemical

if syria fails to comply, the u.s. and russia are to return to the u.n. security council to explore how to punish the regime. on that last point, kerry insisted today the agreement authorizes the use of military force. but in moscow, the foreign minister strongly disagreed. he said threatening force won't bring peace to syria. >> if we want to solve the problem of destroying syrian chemical weapons then the u.s.-russian road map open's real, concrete and practical solution. if some find it more important to threaten, intimidate, to look for a reason to attack and this is probably a way to hint to the opponents that new provocations are expected from them. >> at the white house today president obama sounded with hope and skepticism calling the agreement an important step but an interim one. >> we're not there yet but if proper i had implemented this agreement could end the threat these weapons pose not only the syrian people but to the world. >> in damascus, the syrian government said it will comply with the u.s.-russian deal even as conventional warfare w

just how much trust twists between u.s. and russia is yet to be determined. at the end of their press conference on thursday, secretary kerry could not hear part of mr. lavrov's translation and asked that the interpreter repeat his remarks. it was a glimmer of just how deep the distrust remains between the americans and russians. >> can you give me the last part of the translation, please. hello? >> translator: yes, hello. >> you want me to take your word for that. it's a little early for that. >> joining me today editor and publisher of the nation and a contributor to the "washington post," most of msnbc's "up" with steve kornacki, steve kornacki. joining us from washington, "new york times" white house correspondent peter baker. peter, thanks for joining us. i'd like to ask you the first question here. in terms of u.s. and russia relations, dmitry at the carnegie moscow center, he says that syria ultimately is only marginally important to the russians and their real objective here is to constrain america. how accurate do you think that is? especially in lig

and russia has brokered a deal for syria to turn over the chemical weapons, but the key for the u.s., and this is what we expect the president to say, how will the deal be enforced. with a u.n. resolution, possible military strike, still on the table for the u.s. he's also likely to talk about middle east peace with the israelis and palestinian, now restarting their peace talks. >> tracie potts, thank you so much. >>> former president bill clinton made some very candid and personal remarks in an interview on "late night." mr. clinton describe as close personal connection to one of the victims in the shopping mall attack. an employee his foundation describes as brilliant, dedicated, and deeply admired. >> i was looking at a picture on my phone of one of our employee, a 33-year-old dutch nurse, had just gotten her ph.d., eight months pregnant. she and her baby's father were in that mall and were killed. this is very personal to me. >> clinton also discussed the crisis in syria and u.s./russia relations. >> the u.n. report, which came out a few days ago, made it pretty clear that the che

russia thinks it is all about russia. frankly, what ever the u.s. says about how it targets these systems, and historically it says very little, but even if it was to publish documents, the assumption would be getting these all made up. that would be the first issue. imaginend issue, let's use a cpgs system against iran, and russia sees its launch and coming roughly in russia's direction. and because it would be unpredictable and an observable, -- and not observable, russia and italy have the u.s. were about where to go -- russia would only have the u.s.'s word on where it is going. it is not risk free. there are risks associated with not doing it. there are risks associated with doing it. my goal with this project is not to make any grand conclusion. but it is to break that analysis of, to highlight all of the different areas of risk, associated with both proceeding and not proceeding, and then let other people argue about how we get there together. >> any others? ok, again, let me thank you all for coming and ask you to thank james for providing t

well it seems like russia and the u.s. are a bit closer to seeing eye to eye on the syria crisis russia's deputy foreign minister says an agreement on the u.n. security council resolution the text requiring syria to dismantle its chemical weapons stockpiles is in fact likely by the end of this week now the actual text of the resolution will according to him include a reference to chapter seven of the u.n. charter which allows force but it should be stressed that there will be no automatic trigger for chapter seven measures and another resolution in fact would be needed if syria fails to comply the text of the resolution as many resolutions is usually a point of contention between russia and the u.s. russia always has a tend to have any kind of text which allows for military intervention in the u.s. more often pushing for blatant military intervention in an interview with the washington post foreign minister sergei lavrov pointed out u.s. double standards when it comes to dealing with rebel forces and the conflict in syria

russia wants this to be about stopping any chance of u.s. military action. secretary kerry is here on orders from president obama to make it really mean something by which they think they have to keep up the pressure on military axe. right from the get go they were at a bit of a loggerheads. you sensed that again today at their joint appearance at the beginning of the day with brahimi. neither gave a clue there was substantive developments today. now today, it's near the end of the day here and there's no sign at the end of the day that they have come to much today. >> michael you've seen these signals before. we're picking up signals they want to call it a day, leave tonight, rather than staying over to tomorrow. there's a lot going on, breakout groups with their weapons and intelligence experts drilling down in separate sessions as to exactly where the chemical weapons are, how easy would they be to catalog and get rid of them. from your experience at the counter-terrorism center in the past, how hard will this be to get a handle on these weapons and destr

both the u.s. and russia want that speeded up. then they have international inspectors on the ground no later than november. eventually, they would destroy those chemical weapons. so far, syria is saying it would do it, but remember, what they were saying is we don't want anymore threats from the united states. the way russia and the united states were able to finesse that is we are taking a step at the united nations security council which is called chapter seven. chapter seven gives you a lot of different options. the most serious one would be to take military action but there are other options that you could include. at this point, they are kind of putting that into the gray zone and saying we're taking chapter seven, but it doesn't necessarily mean that they would take military action. although the united states still says that's not off the table. there's a bit of, you know, diplomatic maneuvering here, but it seems to be enough to get the deal. >> jill daugherty calling in from moscow. thanks, jill. >>> still to come, an inv
