More than a week. Welcome back to the news room. We start with syria defending its actions. The foreign minister addressed reports a short while ago and said the regime is cooperating with u. N. Inspectors trying to determine if there have been chemical attacked in the wartorn country. The u. S. Says there is undeniable evidence such attacks has taken place and is weighing a military strike against syria. He says that isnt justified and would serve the interest of Al Qaeda Linked groups and israel. He denied the government tried to get rid of evidence of chemical weapons use. Some people have said that the Syrian Armed Forces have used chemical weapons. I have denied this in my conversation where mr. Considerry and i would like to repeat that no state in the world would wish to use weapons of mass destruction against its own people. Now, following that press conference with me a little earlier on. Hello again. Start off by taking us through the main points syrias foreign minister made.
