BEIJING, Sept. 9 (Xinhuanet) -- US Secretary of State John Kerry has dismissed claims by Syrian President Bashar al-Assad that there’s no evidence he used chemical weapons against his own people.

Speaking before a meeting with Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, Kerry said the evidence "speaks for itself." The US Secretary of State is currently on a tour of Europe, trying to whip up support for military action. He arrived in London on Sunday afternoon.

Earlier, at a news conference in Paris, Kerry said videos being distributed by the Obama administration make clear that last month’s alleged chemical attack near Damascus is something Americans cannot ignore.

John Kerry, US Secretary of State, said, "Those videos make it clear that this is not something abstract, this is not something just reported in the news which you can discard and say, ’It doesn’t matter what’s happening over there.’ Those videos make it clear to people that these are real human beings, real children, and parents being affected in ways that are unacceptable to anybody, anywhere, by any standards."
