phillip is joining us live in london. phillip? reporter: well, thomas, one of the most interesting things we are hearing on this side of the atlantic is that there was, indeed, a phone call that president obama held with the french president before the press conference there in the rose garden in which they consulted on this idea of taking the vote to congress. president oland is said to have responded that he understands each country has to go at a pace of their own and respected the deposition by the obama white house. thomas. >> are binges reacting to obama's commentseuropeans react obama's comments >> here in britain, the prime ministern, of course, who got a real beating earlier in the week getting turned down in parliament has already tweeted, "i understand and support barack obama's position on syria." within his own party, there is now being some political gains to be made domestically here some talk of perhaps talking it back to parliament in another vote to then go along with some sort of congressional vote. it's far too

she's joining us from london. christiane, this is an exceedingly sensitive moment in president obama's presidency. if you'll remember, in the first year of his presidency, he won the nobel peace prize. a lot of people were wondering why was he entitled to the nobel peace prize then? this is a solemn moment with him going forward on attacks on syria. >> they are talking about how the president may have rewritten or reestablished the war powers act. here's the thing. now we've had the reaction in england, we've had the former secretary william hague. he tweeted that president obama made a very strong speech. we've heard from sources that the president in france was contacted by president obama just before he came out publicly this afternoon, and president olan says he still stands ready to, quote, punish, sanction syria for what it's done, the syrian regime. i honestly can't imagine that the american people would not accept that the most banned weapons in international law, weapons of mass destruction, are something

our chief national correspondent is joining us from london. i'm curious, christiane, what do you think about what we heard from the president of the united states? >> a strong case after secretary kerry made a very strong case earlier this week for why the use of these banned chemical weapons cannot go unaccounted for, then the president says it. then it sort of full breaks on again. so i think going to what ivan just said to you, look, the democratic process is at work. who is knocking that? nobody. but you can imagine that is going to be considerably lost on the people in damascus, on the rebels, the opposition, on the iranians, on the north koreans, on the israelis, on just about everybody around that region who is watching. i think it's an extraordinary development. it is a roll of the dice. the president doesn't know whether he's going to win this vote. you guys know much more about the political intrigue in washington than i do. but look at what happened to david cameron who was really raring to go and tweeting just that moment and that

it's a national book but it's also international all over the world in bangkok, london, hong kong fascinating stuff to read >> and david hart has a new book. >> david hart wrote in a couple of years ago called the atheist illusions where he took a look at some of what he called the pingree 80 guests. people like christopher hitchens, daniel and richard dawkins and wondered why in this particular moment there was such hostility to religion by the public intellectuals. and in this book he really wants to get a size from the politics of all the and look across most of the nominations to the experience of how people across different states understand god has an emotional experience and a presence in their lives. and it is a gorgeous book. he's an amazing writer and a great cyclist. this is a real opportunity to just sit with a major theologian and wonder about how god has experienced across the states. very emotionally true book, spiritually rich, and i think an eye opener to be very pleased about it. >> that is a quick look at some of the books coming out by yale university press this fall. >>>

well no i don't and i want to make it clear that the theme of the big london protest next tuesday is going to be a lot of russia phobia we are not against the russian people or the russian nation russia has a long history and tradition. tonight a great contribution to human civilization in terms of art and culture but we are against the rising levels of homophobic violence that we've seen in parts of russia where particular young teenage russian men are being lured to spots by chat rooms only to be confronted by gangs of thugs who beat torture and least two instances of actually murdered them and we're not satisfied the russian police are taking these hate crime seriously with regard to the end to get a law what it's basically says is that any information that makes homosexuality sound attractive or interesting or which says that homosexuality or heterosexuality is equally valid is illegal if a person under eighteen might witness it might witnesses and we know of at least. so there's where people in russia have displayed signs saying things like homosexuality is normal and been arres

what's been the reaction in london, in great britain, over these past 48 hours since david cameron suffered that truly embarra embarrassing setback in parliament? >> there's been a lot of soul searching. all the headlines in all the papers have said what happened to the special relationship between britain and the united states? that vote was really unpreced t unpreceden unprecedenunpreceden unprecedented. as far back as anybody can remember, britain has really stood side by side with the united states in terms of military action, so this was not only a humiliating defeat for cameron, but really a complete change of policy in many ways for britain. a lot of soul searching in the papers here, asking did britain turn its back on syria, or as an alternative, was there not enough evidence to justify military action and this is what a lot of labor law mmakers are saying that the case simply had not been made. that there was not enough evidence they wanted to wait to hear from those u.n. inspectors that have left today to hear about what the evidence was and they wanted to hear from cameron, what
