2:10 pm
was prepared to cooperate with france to fight terrorism, but of course there was the principal that he could not give up the means that france should recognize the government, that means to have again, diplomatic relations with hamas. so i think today we are just facing where we are. it means to fight against the enemy, described by allan as being the islamic state, we are to let's say, give way to our posture and resume relation with them. it doesn't mean, that of course, by having diplomatic relation, that we are supporting bashar in all aspect of it's policy. but it is necessary, i think at the sometime. >> that will be a huge change in policy. when you went to see him
2:11 pm
earlier in the year, he was opposed to that visit he also described him a dictator that has killed nows of his own people. this means that isil in some ways sort of succeeded in the fact that it's going to involve more western interference? in a middle eastern country? and isn't that exactly what isil would like to see? >> this is the islamic state. so i think we have to see the world as it is, and not how we would like it to be. so that i think that in in fact, there is a means that we are going to go around and come back. with bashar troops against
2:12 pm
the islamic state, but that leads not to impede what the -- let's say what the government is doing against a terp errorist. you are speaking of him as a dictator. i am not going to deny that he is a very great democratic leader in this world. >> he is a man, though, most analysts agree have killed thousands of his own people in aerial box sometimes. thousands of his own people. >> well, unfortunately, yes, unfortunately, but it is also a war of by proxies have armed so caliber sur gent which is are not, and have been given arms to the it lambic state as well as to al quaida. and those people are also killing as you know civilians.
2:13 pm
what i want to say, is that today france has been hitten by the islamic state and not be bashar. and this is what they have seen as well. we are facing the same challenge, that means that those terror i whose are french, who are belgium. who are british, germman, spanish, italian, or who are there to fight against troops if they win they will come back to frabs and europe, and we will have the war in france. so this is very simple. the enemy of my enemy is my friend.

2:17 pm
assumption, it still insists there might be other explanations. >> but that was before following the attacks it is now calling for the very people that vladimir putin has been requested for some time arc grabbed coalition to take on isil. acknowledging that russia has also been hit, gives moscow a chance to repair regulars with the west. still to come, we will hear from the group claiming islam phobia is on the rise in the united kingdom. >> and a fight for justice. as police admit to dutching as police admit to dutching bodies in a mass grave.
