10:02 pm
literally one sided as one group wasn't there. insisted it wouldn't join talks unless the syrian government halted its air strikes. the hnc now says its delegates will join the talks but only as observers. secretary of state john kerry welcomed the decision. meanwhile a report from human rights watch says iran's revolutionary guards have been promoting afghan men to fight in syria. james bays has the story. >> the start of the syria talks but on day 1 just one side was present. the syrian delegate headed by bashar al jaffray, meeting with
10:03 pm
staffan de mistura. ftc it was during this meeting that news emerged that the main opposition group said it would now travel to geneva. mr. de mistura said he had to wait for official confirmation but said he was optimistic. >> i have good reason to believe that they are actually considering this very seriously. and actually to start the discussions with them in order to proceed with the inter-syrian talks. >> reporter: one opposition member already in geneva later confirmed that her colleagues would be there in a matter of hours. >> we want to let you know that yes, they are coming, we are going to start discussing with the u.n. about our important concerns humanitarian and the political detainees. that is what is important for us
10:04 pm
so we're preparing the fight, the team is coming tomorrow, and you're going to hear all the details later. >> reporter: the decision to come to geneva has been a difficult one for the high negotiating commission. they say they've been given assurances not just by the u.n. but by the u.s. and russia that there will be measures soon to alleviate the humanitarian concerns some of the concerns they have raised in the coming days. they say they will speak to the special envoy and tase stock of the situation before actually joining any negotiations. james bays, al jazeera at the united nations in geneva. >> dr. ef li farkas is the former assistant secretary of defense for asia. very good to have you with us. how do you see this diplomatic dance playing out? will the opposition groups be active participants or are they going to stay on the sidelines
10:05 pm
until their demands are met, to stop the sieges of more than a dozen towns? >> first of all antonio thank you very much for having me here. i think it's good that the opposition is going that the syrian opposition is showing up in and it sounds like the process though is going to be quite a long process. i don't really expect any big outcomesfully time soon so i would kind of temper our enthusiasm or our expectations. but i think if we could get a ceasefire or something out of this in the next you know weeks or months again i don't know what their timetable is but i think that would be something we circulate really try the aim for. as far as the final resolution, that's -- that's a tougher one. >> it will be tough to get to a ceasefire because it's hard to blame the opposition for you know having trouble deciding whether to talk at all while the syrian government is bombing and starving people. on the other hand it is understandable that the syrian government which is gaining ground recently would want to
10:06 pm
keep its momentum going. >> they are most eager to have talks when they think they have the territory they need and have the advantage and the leverage that they can use at the negotiating table so absolutely. and they're not likely to compromise much if they think they have the upper hand. >> talking about the russians -- >> sorry from the u.s. perspective, you see secretary carter and others out there working to shore up the u.s. efforts and the support we're providing to the iraqis and the syrians. >> right because carter has gone to the white house and said, we need to put more troops in there. the mission creep danger which has been talked about so often. do you think the white house will agree to send more people in? >> i don't see a significant presence in the future. again this president is not interested in putting a big u.s. military commitment in the form of a large ground force into syria. so i don't -- i would be shocked if that was the outcome. >> going back to the russians and the talks, the main
10:07 pm
opposition group which is represented by what's called the high negotiations committee, has said that the plan that has been put forth so far by the u.n. special envoy to syria is what russia and iran want and that that would be a disaster for the region. so again not very promising. >> no not very promising. again the most promising is that they're in the same place. maybe they could again be inching towards something called a ceasefire. you know humanitarian situation as well as anyone else and i think if we can do anything, if they can reach any kind of agreement that would help on that front, that would be useful. but as far as anything beyond that i am not very optimistic. >> and what about the groups that are absent? i.s.i.l, el nusra, al sham, the islam it's groups, deemed terrorists, understandable they are not there but they hold more
10:08 pm
territory than other groups. how does that get dealt with in the frame of these negotiations? >> well i think they're just not going to be part of the negotiations and again, the objective from the u.s. side, but also, the at least stated russian objective is to eliminate i.s.i.s, i.s.i.l, whatever you want to call them and el nusra. if that's the case, and if we could at some point unite and together destroy them we on the u.s. is going to continue what we're doing relative to i.s.i.l. >> right you want all those groups to attack those groups but the reality even the syrian kurds who are supported by the u.s. aren't allowed to be at the negotiation table because of objections by turkey. i hate to keep asking the same question how do you keep the kurds out of a solution? >> you can't keep the kurds out of the solution. the curds are going to be part of solution in syria and obviously very active in iraq. if they're not in the room now
10:09 pm
it's probably not end of the world but in the end, they are going to have to agree to whatever the solution is. the biggest obstacle is the russian solution because they are there, they're supporting bashar al-assad, they're not walking away from their commitment to him, there's no evidence of that. until we set forth a mechanism for next government you can't even talk about what that government would look like and what role the kurds would have, the syrian kurds, in the elections et cetera. the first main obstacle is how do we get russia to walk away from assad and put in place a credible transition? >> let's hope they come up with some solution because the suffering is horrific. evelyn farkas, pleasure to have you with us. >> thank you very much. an attack on ashia mosque in eastern saudi arabia has killed at least four people. witnesses say a man blew himself
10:10 pm
up outside the mosque before a second attacker opened fire. worshipers overcame him before he could blow himself up. no one has claimed responsibility for the attack. suicide bombers struck the city of aden, seven people died friday night when a bomber targeted a police checkpoint not far from thursday's attack that killed eight people near presidential palace. the president was unharmed. iraqi forces are undergoing a ten week training course at a base south of baghdad for a mission to retake mosul, iraq's second largest city from i.s.i.l. later this year. jamie mcintire reports from the pentagon on why the u.s. says its coalition partners need step it up for this effort. >> reporter: antonio, so far it has trained about 20,000 fighters in iraq, u.s. says,
10:11 pm
including regular army police and tribal fighters. those security fighters play the key role in retaking of ramadi a few weeks ago and now the focus is on building a force that will sometime later this year in all likelihood, mount an offensive on mosul. it will take roughly ten brigades of battle ready forces, each brigade has between two and 3,000 troops so we are talking about an offensive force between 20 and 30,000 troops. the spokesman colonel steve warren says an flals is underw s underway now to speed up the process. >> it becomes a question of do you make the pipe a little bit bigger so you can put more through the the pipe faster. that's what we're working on now, that's working on several
10:12 pm
levels obviously, you know at the higher level it is a matter of working with other partner-nations to see what else they're able to contribute. >> reporter: so while the u.s. is considering sending more troops for training and enabling iraqi forces perhaps as many as several hundred on top of the 3700 in iraq right now what the pentagon really wants is for other countries to step up and do more. defense secretary ash carter has been berating other members of the coalition for doing almost nothing. he expects other countries to send trainers before the u.s. increases its troop levels. there is another consideration too, the u.s. is in the country with the permissio invitation oi government, u.s. can't do more without the permission of haider al-abadi. a surge now could possibly make

10:14 pm
the sunnis were os stra size osd joined i.s.i.s. that's the sad evolution that we have had. either iraq, syria and libya all see the difficulty of doing something from the outside. you might say if you hadn't done this saddam would have been there, gadhafi would have been there. we should ask the people there which would you prefer? do you prefer tyranny, to anarchy? or vice versa? they got rid of tyranny but they got anarchy. >> you can watch the entire interview at aljazeera.com/up front. downing of a russian passenger plane in the sinai last september, no evidence a bomb took down the plane killing 225 people but a source close to

10:16 pm
>> lizy morales contracted the zika virus from a mosquito bite. >> you don't have any strength to do anything. all you want to do is lay down and sleep. >> reporter: since then the centers for disease control and prevention have confirmed 11 cases in the states and district of columbia. all of those traveled abroad to infected areas. maintain shouldn't panic they say. >> having said that, you don't want to walk away and say very cavalierly, not a problem. better vector control, everything you would do if you are anticipating that there is going to be an outbreak. >> reporter: the virus has spread that's mainly through the americas since last year. warning pregnant women from traveling o22 countries.

10:22 pm
needs from the drones and from the cockpit of an f-16 fighter jet while they were out there flying and it wasn't that difficult to do. how does that happen? >> so the gchq working with the nsa were operating from a listening post from cypress, they were picking up signals from a spot in the mediterranean having a pretty close range of israel and they were doing it by picking up what's called the down link so the drone communicates with its home base by sending signals via satellite. and the anarchist station, it was code named anarchist on cypress would pick up those signals and some cases they were encrypted, they would actually have to decrypt the video signal to tell what was being seen. >> it wasn't that difficult apparently, raises questions
10:23 pm
about why the israelis weren't better protected. >> this is something that has been out in the public for a long time that this is a vulnerability of drones. the u.s. ran into this in iraq, in 2009 they discovered insurgents had been tapping into their unencrypted predator needs. israel also had had this experience back in 1997. >> so there were plenty of warnings out there this is possible. so you wonder why the israelis didn't deal with it. i know israeli military didn't want to comment on this, do you think technology has improved since then to stop this from happening? >> it's possible you know in the last documents, the documents that we looked at and in 2012, so in 2012 the u.s. was still, they said, collecting regularly on one of israel's large drones carrying weapons. but it's possible that they've
10:24 pm
upgraded their encryption since then. we worked on this story with an israeli paper, the reporters in israel said they had found a problem that they were vulnerable to decryption. >> another problem for israelis they haven't even acknowledged they have this military attack drone program, although there are stories they are exporting some to india and they are very sophisticated. >> there is very, very rare confirmation that israel is flying drones. almost no evidence in the public, israel doing well to keep this under wrache wraps the technology in gaza and elsewhere. >> the relationship between the united states and israel and why the united states was spying on israel to begin with, it certainly seems to indicate that the relationship on an intelligence level at least is
10:25 pm
uneasy at best. >> one of the reasons given in the documents for this program was that they wanted to look at -- track israeli drones to be on the lookout for a potential strike against iran, either retaliatory or preexive. so they spelled that out specifically, that was one of the things they were worried about. they also said, specifically mentioned you know unrest in gaza was another thing they would want to watch for. >> could this cause problems in the relationships between the u.k, the u.s., israel and cypress for that matter, where they have this listening station that focuses on the middle east, i'd never heard of it. >> yes, it's been out there for a bit that the u.k. has this operation in cypress and i think that there's been a number of revelations recently that pointing to the fact that u.s. and israel are you know in kind of intelligence standoff at the wall street journal just reported last month that the u.s. carved out an exemption
10:26 pm
from its reforms to stop spying on foreign leaders, they carved out an exception for israel. >> final question, it's coming out since the edward snowden document dump is so massive it takes owhile to get through it. this raises a question about whether snowden did is harmful to the united states. >> we don't just throw documents on the internet, we spend time reporting and putting context around it. that's why the reporting of thissive to took a while. wthisstory took a while. israel comparatively less and it is one of a handful of countries currently using drones. >> is more coming. >> from the snowden archives? certainly, we are working on stories at all times.
