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. Reporter celebrating the merger, opposition fighters have joined forces against president Bashar Alassads troops in northern syria. The merger is the main demand of all fight nurs fighters in s. We need to be united. Reporter these are fighters from the brigade sent to support other factions. The group has been instrumental in making rebel gains in the north over the last two years. The merger under unified command, by doing this we will be able tokes panned our reach and have a bigger military role. Reporter the general is the commander of the free syria ar army. Hes seen here on the frontline his job is to bring the fighters under one command. This is his biggest challenge. Fighters from the front, annal qauda off shoot, black listed by the u. S. 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.

There is visibility problems so they want to get to as many pimas possible. They say they will continue to do that today and in to tonight until the weather prevents them from doing that.

Reporter well, the big problem has been communication. There are areas that have been out of power, out of cell service. And they are hoping that the number of unaccounted, never not saying missing, they are saying they are unaccounted for. They do expect that the possibility is there that the death toll will rise from five where it stands right now, but right now they are still looking for those people and trying to get in touch with them in any way that they can. They are doing surveillance runs as well going into the more farflung areas going door to door to figure out whether or not the unaccounted for people are still in their homes waiting for rescuers to get to them. More storms are on the way. Ahhar live in boulder. Thank you. Back to syria. Outrage on the agreement on how to handle the chemical weapons. Reporter chief rebel commander was rather furious. He said Syrian Opposition felt betrayed by the International Community who appears to have used the blood of syrians nearly as a bridge to lay its hands on the chemical weapons stockpiles owned by the Bashar Alassad regime. He said they simply cannot trust the russian leadership. 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 majority regime in damascus. Reporter the general says this position does not put them at logger heads with the United States, he said they will continue talking to the u. S. , but that washington simply cannot expect them to accept this agreement. And a very important statement by the chief rebel commander in istanbul saying they have no plans or intention to his obstruct the work of any u. N. Inspectors or investigators that will be sent to syria according to this new agreement. Meantime, refugees also continued to stream out of syria by the hundreds. Three boats carrying more than 800 people were intercepted off italys coast last night. The coast guard said one boat carrying mostly women and children was found sinking. Everyone on board was rescued, the United Nations estimates 3,000 refugees have arrived in italy since august. And the United Nations Childrens Emergency Fund says that children are paying the biggest price in syria. To talk more about this we return now to kate donovan to find out more and why. Shes a speaks woman for uncief, thank you for being here, we appreciate it. Thank you. Talk about how children are being impacted by the were. The war is tearing their lives apart. We are talking about there are 3 million children in syria right now whose lives are completely thrown apart by this war. So their schools are closed or they are being occupied by people who are displaced. They have extreme poverty because their parents possibility to earn money has been thwarted obviously. And a million children have had to flee for their lives to other countries to lebanon, to egypt, to turkey, to iraq. Its a terrible situation for the children. We have seen the heartbreaking pictures of the thousands of people leaving the country and swarming those refugees camps. What are you seeing in those camps . How bad are the conditions and what is most needed . The conditions in the camps obviously are really difficult. Very challenging. The primary things that we need to make sure is that there is good water and sanitation. And that proper nutrition is being delivered to these kids. Its really critical the water and the clean sanitation because otherwise the children are very vulnerable to disease and disease in a place like a refugees camp can take off pretty easily. So one of the things that we are doing are delivering immunization campaigns. And i think you guys are also focusing on education, because oftentimes we tend to lose sight of this when you are talking about life or death. But when i think its something one out of every five schools in syria has been destroyed. Correct. And you guys are now trying to help these kids continue with their education. Right. In an incredibly difficult circumstances. We are not saying back to school, we are saying back to learning. Maybe back to school is almost too much to expect because also as you said 3,000 schools have been completely decimate mate dd another thousand school occupied. We are setting up tent schools whenever those i believe. Delivering at the very least a safe space where kids can stay and be a little bit protected. We have setting up these tent schools also extensively in lebanon, in turkey, and in other areas where the children have had to flee to. Because longterm, what is the effect here . How traumatizing is this for these Young Children . How much of a scar does it leave . Its hard to say. Kids are incredibly resilient. So if this doesnt go a too much longer, if we can find some kind of at thi diplomatic solution te problem, there is always hope for children. Thats the amaze thing about amt them. They can bounce back. Thank you so much. Thank you for being in tonight, reappreciate it, kate donovan. Thank you. Stay with al jazerra and aljazerra. Com for continuing cough river.
