Military action against the serious government. President Francois Hollande made these comments following a decision by britain and germany not to back military intervention in serious conflict. It means now that the United States must look to its other allies for support of strike action. The u. K. Will not be joining a powerful military intervention in serious. The British Parliament narrowly voted against it, forcing David Cameron to give up on the idea. Is clear to me that the British Parliament, reflecting the views of the british people, does not want to see British Military action. I get that and the government will act accordingly. In the u. S. , the british vote is not really a game changer. First of all, i have not made a decision. I have gotten options from our military. The United Nations chief ban kimoon called on all parties to choose the paloma see over war. It seems certain heads of state want to push ahead even without a human mandate. If the Security Council is prevented from acting, a coalition will form. It needs to be as wide as possible. Despite signs other western leaders may be reconsidering a strike germany rules out any such action on friday. Military options are still open. The u. S. Has redeployed a fifth destroyer in the mediterranean. I spoke to our International Affairs desk earlier and i asked where exactly france now stands in all of this. France is still in the game. He said all actions are on the table, but he called for firm action against the government of Bashar Alassad in response to the chemical weapon attack. It had seemed in recent days that france, like other countries, may have been calling for a political solution, not talking so much about military options. Friends confirmed that they can act without the u. K. We did not hear any concrete decisions on what it would mean. All options are on the table says Francois Hollande. It is about stopping Bashar Al Assad from doing any chemical weapons attacks again. He said if the human is prevented from doing anything, if it is blocked, as we know it is and has been by russia and china, then he says a coalition will have to form and he has called for the widest possible coalition. Once a coalition supported by europe and backed up i arab states Francois Hollande said he will not be making a decision until he has all the elements to justify it. He ruled out any kind of attack until you win inspectors have left serious so that is at least until tomorrow. He said he will hold in debt discussions with barack obama until friday he said he will hold indepth discussions with barack obama. Still in the game. No confirmation, no details on any military action yet. You mentioned searching for an International Coalition certainly, for the united dates. Where does this decision by the u. K. And germany and, of course, france, which says it is definitely still in the game leave america on what they can do next . A very situation a very sticky situation indeed. David cameron saying he would not seek to press that any further. Very difficult decision for the u. S. Indeed, britain traditionally one of their Strongest Military allies. A very rare occurrence, a defeat on military a big military decision being defeated in the house of commons. Has not happened for several hundred years, so a big shock. Germany, their foreign minister ruled out taking part in any serious military strike. They are looking to build a wide coalition. France still in the game. We also know that turkey has said in the past in no Uncertain Terms that it would take action against syria even without you in approval, so strong words there. Apart from that, the International Coalition looking very thin indeed. And has not said that it will act without you in action. That could be a stumbling block but they have been giving signs that they will support them, but it has not come out publicly. France really needs some allies. In terms of the United Nations the Security Council blocked by russia also to a lesser extent by china this time around. One other option western powers could try and keep pushing and table another resolution at the United Nations even if it is doomed to failure to try to show that there is International Support to try to put pressure on him that way as well. The no vote in the United Kingdom came as somewhat of a surprise, but the result means that the u. K. Will not join the u. S. If there is an eventual offensive. David cameron says his government will respect that decision. British parliament has spoken very clearly about its views about military involvement. That does not stop us from condemning chemical weapons or the assad regime. It does not stop us working with allies to bring the maximum pressure on this regime and the appalling things that it is doing. On this specific issue of British Military action, i think that was the message. Lets get more on the implications of the british no vote. Thank you very much for speaking to us. This no vote in the u. K. Is that it in . Could there be another vote perhaps following other developments down the track . There could be another vote but this first vote puts a strain on the relationship between the United States and the United Kingdom as president obama expected to have writtens support and a military strike against syria. It is a parliamentary defeat for Prime Minister cameron. Bmp the mps echoed the skeptic skepticism of their constituency. Labor still has in mind the iraq war and the declaration of war in march 2003, and they asked them to introduce an amendment which would also defeat 522 votes. The vote is a blow to the british Prime Minister asked 30 conservative mps and nine liberal democrats rebelled against their leader. The vote put britain in danger of plunging into isolationism, but there is no that to the Prime Ministers leadership note threat no threat to the Prime Ministers leadership. But surely his reputation has been harmed by this. Of course and has. He was expecting to have the support of the house of commons as he did two years ago for the military strike against libya but he has the support of his cabinet. It has strengthened to a certain extent the labor leader. The cabinet will have to reconsider britains role in the world in the future. Thank you very much indeed for joining us.

Members of the Free Syrian Army they are pessimistic about the future regardless of the type of foreign intervention. If there are a rates, we have no choice.

If the air raids weekend the regime, then i agree, but if the real aim is to destroy al qaeda jihadist groups who live among the population, then there will be hate from all sides.
