6:06 am
international countries involved. when you talk to the syrian people, they have lost hope. they say that there's no solution in sight. regional and international powers need to sit and agree. this is no longer a war between the syrian government and the opposition. the opposition, itself is divided. there is a growing realisation from the international community that they need to revive the political track. dialogue needs to begin, there's no military solution. what we heard recently from the head of the syrian coalition. it's the main opposition in exile. he is talking about changing the fmc's stance saying that the president santa barbara leaving power no longer has to be a precondition. he is stressing on the needs to get the political process started. there is no meaningful peace process. at the end of the day we are

6:12 am
those involved in that process would be tasked with taking a pair and unbias and balanced approach. now, the president has been asked as to what would be done about u.n. investigators. because obviously the u.n. asked about sending in investigators to look into the allegations. the president has been firm about it while talking about a domestic process, he did say that all the views of the united nations would be sought and that would strengthen the domestic process. but he did make the point that therefore, no outside investigators would be necessary. he did say that all of these views of the international community, of the united nations would be incorporated into the process, what yieldsneeds to be done and would lead to a solution at the end of the process. >> let's leave it there. i want to stay with the subject

6:14 am
investigation? >> i think there are some who will insist that only an international investigation, and only an international tribunal will bring justice. but the point needs to remain in order to go to an international recognition, all remedies have to be exhausted. in respect of it it will reach out to the united nations office for human rights and the council's special procedures to insist and inform whatever domestic process there is. >> what do you think they'll find when they start this investigation? >> i think there is pretty much the evidence that there have been crimes against humanity and war crimes. allegations are against signs. courses of the government. so it's going to be a major test in terms of the commitment and
