The Syrian President Bashar al-Assad has denied having "anything to do" with last month's chemical weapons attack. 

In an interview with CBS Face The Nation, President Assad said there was 'no evidence' to support claims he was behind the gas strike - which the US says led to the deaths of almost 15-hundred people. 

Meanwhile, the US Secretary of State John Kerry has met Arab League Foreign Ministers today as part of an effort to drum up support for an intervention. 

Yesterday he said the number of nations willing to take part in strikes against the Assad regime is now in 'double digits'.
