russia, calling it an attempt to disrupt the peace process. hashem ahelbarra sends this report from the turkey-syria border. >> the death of d zahran allouc. interim government announced by the syrian government in exile in 2013.he say 2013. the ththe death of ofie ever al.

in exchange of their pulgt out of yarmouk refugee camp on the outskirts of the city. the deal was seen by the opposition as an indication the syrian government concluding with i.s.i.l. >> the regime has deflected attention from the fact that what's happening is the fight for political rights and against tyranny to five off a secular regime against i.s.i.l. for the international community, the fight against i.s.i.l. comes first. >> these are delicate times for the opposition. over the last two years it has lost significant ground in southern aleppo, homs, and other

areas. be manareas. many of its commanders have been killed and coming under increasing pressure to join talks with assad. concession by the rebels who had hoped to force sood ou assad ouf power militarily. no longer insisting on an immediate departure of the syrian president. hashem ahelbarra, al jazeera, on turkey's border with syria. >> yoinjoining us is richard wh. thank you so much for agreeing to speak to us. and islam wasted no time in announcing a successor the

alowsh. successor to allouch. >> in syria it's been a bit of a mixed picture. he's been in charge of his group for past four years, was thought to be very charismatic leader. the successor is not as well-known, not associated as much with the founding of the group and so on. so there's suspicions that it will even if it stays together it's going to be a weaker force, less dominant in the opposition, will play a less effective role. but in general i wouldn't put too much on the personalities in the opposition. there hasn't been a very powerful opposition leader in syria the way there have been

for example in iraq and afghanistan. >> nevertheless, how might the killing now of zahran allouch be? >> strike as an effort to weaken their power, therefore they say they will participate in the peace process even though they are going to stand firm with their demands that the government of bashar al-assad leave office. looking forward whether we'll have geneva iii or not, it's going to be tricky all around. the one problem we still have is whenever one side thinks they're doing well, the other side thinks it's better to not negotiable in peace talks, and

now with russian backing and with the offensive the assad government may feel comfortable reaching some kind of agreement as long as it stays in power. but not to make peace now when they're week and divided and wait until their position is stronger. >> they might choose to do that but what about their foreign backers? because i suppose the one significant shift in recent months that we've seen is the inclusion of many countries in the international community, both within the middle east and yowrts ooutside of it, getting d he's peace talks. will there be enough pressure from the outside for them to continue to engage with the government? >> well, there your question about the what the effects will have on the opposition, with the loss of the key leaders is important. since they were this group, and was voched i involved in the ret

meetings in saudi arabia can took a clear stance with the peace talks with the saudi and others. now that's a big more oapg question lonmore of anopening i. what the assad government wants. so it's still i consider unlikely that there will be an agreement this will stick. they may reach some kind of agreement but there are so many actors, but i just hesitate to hi it's going to be anything that will have an enduring impact. >> right, and stlo has bee thero much focus on czar ra zahran af,

one you mentioned you don't have any single opposition leader to try rally all the different alliances and coalitions that you have whrin within the broad umbrella of the syrian opposition, with the request of assad. >> the assad question is very open. the russians haven't yielded on that point and the assad government has not. the west, your package mentioned they've been wavering a bit. they have been wavering on the time line. but still the people who count, fighters in the field and el newnusra and islamic state and o on are adamant that he has to go. i don't see any compromise, how you would bridge that, unless the assad government was willing to accept some kind of

awr arthur, any measures we mention, is any of that likely to work? >> at the moment, we have no guarantee that it will work exclusive. some form of psychological deterrent of those who continue to troll. yes, it is a very positive step forward but time will tell. we'll have to monitor the activity. >> what are the common characteristics, the common traits of the personalities of the sort of people that troll twitter and then use it to bully or abuse others? >> well, we do know from our research that those who troll in any country tend to demonstrate high levels of sociopathy, they lack empathy for their owner victims, they go the way to

manipulate and control the minds of the victims. right across the world in any culture. especially with regard to they want to prevent on cases that have legislation. >> are there different types of at which timer trolls, would you say there's one type of typical sociopathic personal or different personality psychological groups? >> yes william, w, we do know te are. there is a high level of evidence that shows that trolls have been causally or partially causally vulnerable. we have social evidence that many young people have died by suicide, as a consequence of being a victim to international trolls.

remember of course and it is fundamentally important to understand that trolls can work in clusters in most countries and this raises the high level of status withins a cluster group of trolls. the more people who die by their own hand are those who experience some degree of mental health breakdown. so the troll's underlying motive, basically, is to kill the victim or help the victim to self-injure or end their own lives. particularly to bring down they're low self worth and low self-esteem. >> what is the best response on the part of the victim to sort of protect themselves from this type of behavior on twitter? >> well, first take green shots and ignore the truths. very simple strategies in block ignoring and saving evidence.

understanding the kind of evidence we have for trolls because some trolling can become severely serious, those might not go as far as the crime court but will independent up at the magistrate's court. what i have knowledge emphasized is we need to curb the mall irk information act which is way out of date, and more pr profound legislation. >> the anonymity point i wanted to talk about. as far as the character traits of many of these trolls, they are manipulative, social yoa pathic. sociopathic. could these be people that you

are sort of coming into contact with every day or they're out in society out in public but i suppose this kind of behavior only emerges when they're taking part in an anonymous forum. >> yes. you're quite right. because anonymity is the central core feature of why they do troll. if they were not to be anonymous, we would see a profound reduction in trolling behavior. they have other means of causing self-injury online. and what we do need really is to review basically the whole level of moderation and have independent moderation work independently from people on twitter and google, this level of activity in a much more profound way. >> thank you very much, it was interesting in getting your thoughts on this arthur cassidy, joining us from belfast.
