for now though the world is waiting for albania to decide if it will take in syria's estimated one thousand tons of toxic weapons for destruction political analyst chris bambery explain to us why the choice of one of europe's poorest countries for the task is controversial and what i find incredible was that it is a norwegian merchant ship accompanied by a norwegian naval vessel which is going to syria to pick up these weapons which it was mustard gas and siren and bring them to albania the norwegians say they don't have the expertise and the ability to dismantle the chemical weapons i would ask you if the richest one of the richest countries in europe don't have the expertise and knowledge to do this how do you expect the poorest country in europe to do this kind of smacks of a colonial mentality that somehow we're going to dump of these things in albania we're not going to bring them to britain why don't you choose a country which has the expertise for instance in britain is the aldermaston chemical weapons facility i would trust that to dismantle those weapons but there was high levels o

syria's stocks are much larger, while albania's experience made it an attractive option for the task. norway has already been asked and refused. no one else is jumping at the chance. for prime minister rama only two months into the job the decision is not likely to have been an easy one side with popular position or accept the request from a popular ally to destroy the by-product. meanwhile at the hague, discussions will resume to work out exactly how to rid syria of its chemical weapons. >> the executive council o has adopted a landmark plan for the destruction of all chemical weapons in syria by the end of june 2014. most of the chemicals, the most toxic of them will have to be out of the territory by the 31st december 2013. >> question remains, though, removed to where? al jazeera. >> chile is in the mid-of a rather interesting presidential campaign. the two leading candidates are both women were different sides of former dictator pin jay's reseescream. michelle bachelet is the daughter of a general who opposed the 1973 coup. evelyn matthei, the right-leaning candidate is the daugh

albania which was the most favored choice till tonight that is projected america's request the middle east correspondent paul so for the masses has made or get nine in the construction program that can make it to the fact that in that cabinet had to display port equipment used for mixing and production of poison gases and nerve agents damascus is that remains committed to the team the good ones. the workbook with our duty to do whatever it takes. cool comatose of the beast the blocks. but that expects see we can do it so not ready to do it either pass this way and i can find it without a defeat of the destruction of the papal the program would speak on camera. i bet they can say that they would be nice to fly with the progress that was being made and that damascus was coughing sniffling. we have made a commitment than two years with an old fortress became its commitments. this is not a commitment to the secret to come soon. this is not the commitment to the lpc the blue this is the commitment also poland russia france one of the debates right now is wait to actually destroy the city i

albania and belgium are among the countries being considered. both are geographically close to syria and have experience destroying such weapons. a joint mission chief in syria says she will work with other countries to put the arsenals out of action. but she asks that security is still their chief concern. >> the conflict is of course of daily concern not only to the mission but to the people of syria. we make our security assessments on an ongoing basis and will continue to do so. >> reporter: opcw officials hope to have plans ready for the next stage of their syrian mission by next week. they are aiming for the verified destruction of all declared chemical weapons and production facilities by the middle of next year. chiaki ishikawa, nhk world. >> some wonder whether the syrians and officials from the organization will be able to meet all their deadlines. we have a specialist in chemical weapons who helped set up the organization for the prohibition of chemical weapons. he said the experts are facing a host of challenges. >> the united nation

the move was announced as albania rejected a request to destroy stockpiles on its soil. there was a protest. thousands gathered to criticise the proposal. albania's president said his country is not equipped to deal with the disposal. >> translation: our friends and partners received our decision. you can hear is here. it is impossible for albania to get involved in the operation. >> i'm joined about detailer rosbiter a chemical weapons inspector and director of hot zone solutions group and joins me by skype from austria. where will these materials be kept now while they sort out what to do with them and where to send them. somebody has a lot of - tonnes of chemical weapons sitting in their possessions. >> well, they will remain where they are for now. all the facilities, 22 out of 23 sites have been inspected. stockpiles have been verified, and that's where they'll survey for the moment. looking at the decision taken yesterday, quite late, certain components - the most critical chemicals - they have to be transported out of the country by 31 december this year. 6.5 week

albania has rejected a request from the us to halt the destruction of serious chemical weapons stockpile. a major blow to international efforts to destroy the arsenal. i'm a twenty fourteen in antenna must address on friday prime minister and in my mind that it was impossible for albania to take part in this operation. the announcement was well come to buy about two thousand protesters who gathered overnight outside promise off is to demand that albanian rejects the plan albania was seen as a possible choice for the destruction of theory and chemical weapons. after a beastly destroy its own one place and gas arsenal. but protesters say the country is not prepared and has no capacity to carry out this kind of experiment the destruction of serious weapons will be overseen by experts from the hague based organization for the precondition of chemical weapons leave me a militia men have attacked the protesters in tripoli killing twenty seven people and wounding two hundred and thirty five. prime minister i'd be dead announce the casualties in an interview with comedian tv channel on car. he t

but a worldwide scale protests in albania which people saying that they refuse to allow the government to be costly to taking in the way pens from syria. not the problem is that in norway for syndicate is that it would not allow these weapons to the four tickets to walk away hide the senate it will sink a ship that will help with prawns for dinner with its three day thatut this is the py will be taken and then take a swig from the united states is that it has other options on the table but no indication as to what these options off. this is a very ambitious time frame that has been saved by the organization for the prohibition of chemical weapons that says that by the end of march mixed yet most of serious chemical weapons will be destroyed and at the end of june for the ban will have the display but again it seems as if it's facing a battle of the stubble with the decision as to where and how to destroy these weapons the mall european nations i thought seemed unwilling to take on the cost of destroying the display and store nesties jitters from a common sense. there are more than just

. >> albania doesn't want them. we explain why. >> for a week they have gathered outside the department. albanians demanded they refuse washington's request to destroy syria's chemical weapons on albanian story. a prime minister zakaria ramhani previously in favour of the -- -- prime minister rama believed to be in support turned it down. it is impossible for albania to get involved. >> it will be a welcome decision here. >> translation: weapons are weapons of mass destruction, we will never accept them. this decision came late >> six years ago albania destroyed its own stockpile of chemical weapons left over from the communist period. syria's stocks are larger, and albania's experience, whilst considered a close nato ally made it an attractive auction. norway was asked and refused. no one else is jumping at the chance the. for prime minister rama, the digs was not likely to be easy. side with unpopular opinion or side with an important ally to destroy thousands of tonnes of dangerous chemicals and their by-product.

how justice is that in this announcement by albania came the shock to the united states the european union octavian is seen as a very strong partner with a so called unshakable and the audience to waste it is also a frequent country. but they will wide scale protests in albania which people saying that they refuse to allow the government to be costly to taking in the way pens from soviet not the problem is that in norway for syndicate is that it would not allow the slip is to be for tickets to walk away hypothermia will send a ship that will help with prawns for dinner with its three day that they'll taken but this is the problem it's not a kid where in fact they will be taken and then take a swig from the united states is that it has other options on the table but no indication as to what these options off this is a very ambitious time frame that has been saved by the organization for the purpose of chemical weapons that says that by the end of march next year most of serious chemical weapons will be destroyed and at the end of june for the ban will have the display but again it see

the agreement albania the norwegian city to fix the season ability to dismantle the chemical weapons. i would ask is the richest one of the richest countries in europe don't have the expertise and knowledge to do this i can expand the poorest country in europe to do this smacks of colonial mentality that some i will going to dump these things in albania when no one to bring them to grits and why did he choose a country which has the expertise prince instance in britain as the old the last in a chemical weapons facility. i would trust us to dismantle its weapons for the good in both high levels expertise and also i'll be the most emotionally stable countries in europe this is not to attack the albanian people but the albanian state as hotel will restrain myself a nice table disapproval guys cry i cry now i think is a very strange decision to stay with aunt sadie's deadly weapons and put them in a country which was security must be an issue. as chemical weapons in syria are being sought out and destroyed spy chiefs in europe at one of a rapid rise in citizens going there to buy countert

and albania will not host the dismantling of syria's chemical weapons united states replies to that albania host the facilities where syria's stockpile could be destroyed however following a heated debate in the balkan country with hundreds of demonstrators taking to the streets to voice opposition the country has said no to the idea albania's response coincides with the november fifteenth deadline set by the organization for the prohibition of chemical weapons so come up with a more detailed plan on how these weapons will be disposed artie's policy clear has more. today is the deadline for the organization for the prohibition of chemical weapons to go up destruction deadlines for syria's chemical arsenal so far damascus has made all deadlines in its destruction program with the latest being the first of november when it had to have destroyed all equipment used for the mixing and production of poison gases and nerve agents damascus says it remains committed to meeting these deadlines on our part. to do whatever it takes to commit ourselves to these the blood's but experts see we can do it s

major surprise from albania. albania now rejecting a request by the u.s. to destroy syria's chemical weapons on its soil. albania has been closely lined with us for more than 20 years but now the refusal may be a sign that the impoverished country is trying to charter its own course. the agency saying it can remain confident that the chemical weapons will be destroyed by the middle of next year. but albania's refusal to do that on its soil right now raises the question of exactly where that can happen. >>> all right, we're getting some new video. a deadly blast that rocked afghanistan last night. it happened in the capital city. that explosion just hours after president hamid karzai announced u.s. and afghan negotiators had finished working on a controversial security deal ahead of next week's high level talks. and president obama back here at hope is scrambling to come up with a health care fix. meeting with the heads of several insurance companies. is it too little, too late though? we will debate all of of that fair and balanced. >> and talk about a mys
