step up our efforts to break the business model of the gangsters who were sending people to see or in this way i say to our partner, sir, across the channel. now is the time for us all that to step up or to work together to do everything a we can to break these gangs who are literally getting away with murder. these people did make it to the english coast on wednesday after being picked up by volunteers from the royal national life boat institution. there among the roughly 25000 people who've crossed from france this year, 3 times last year's figure. but and still receives far fewer asylum claims than countries such as germany or france. but the governments currently introducing legislation which would penalize asylum seekers who use so called illegal roots like crossing the channel rights groups. point out legal routes are inaccessible for most and in reality, given how desperate these people are to reach the u. k. more tragedies can't be

wasn't planned. and it was immediately filmed by syrians with their cell phone. ah, and we sent a message to washington that night and said it's coming the. the firewood is very dry and it's coming. 3 days later on the 18th of march, 2011 young people in the southern city of deborah wrote on their school wall. it's your turn next doctor. their arrest and torture provoked a wave of protest which swept the contract. syrian security forces attacked unarmed protesters who were colon for more freedom ah, at the beginning of the classes, we met with british ambassador friendship, master those medical master, those. i felt that i am the ambassadors. enum,

western ambassadors have a concept in that heads that decide the fit and people unappetizing that food and pupil anew. abdul respond to the 3rd and pupil i had a meeting with booth sanisha ban with presidency. and i said, because of the internet, because the satellite, tv eyed people will know the world will know what you do. and if you shoot a lot of people, if you kill a lot of people, every one is going to know every one in syria and every one around the world and you will be condemned. you have to a mister tactics the us offered to help us. i'd engage in talks with opposition leaders while they thought the was still time. what they would say is yes, we welcomed that discussion. can you even help us organize it? we said we would try, but every time we got close to a discussion, ah,

the syrian secret police would move in and break up meetings or arrest people. mm. internally, assad government was divided between those who favor taking a tough line and others who wanted to adult a more moderate approach. asada noticed he would make a speech on the 30th of march 2011. 0, you feel that the speech really willing obese will bring solution? because we are fried from where we were situation. we go. and in the 1st months actually i went to the prison 2 times. i said it must be renew, hey anaconda is minnesota, which is at min assess even us sold by law savvy on had it. no,

i should be in nor artillery for could up to laurie. sally already said it, the lady was a fee announcement in hell and to lawton law. lunesta bit will mad at it that tammy, yella will cook 20 not for shadow. can nice bustle, dogs, celery, what little men off he can know? yeah. name carol min? no enough. alleviate luck was shot. my thought will be a slot. who will be? i'm in a slot than subject up of you so bad that i don't believe i be i slightly out of my widow. saddest you might be wednesday than id. why? bill is jemma. i did up net net net m shoot, jack handle any than the hit ashish. ah, ah, by the had that had a gone. the little thing is that now you be finding, well,

i'm at up in the policy law to had on wilton where the hoodie latina monica leon for anna was al ambia when he finished 8. so remember when in my office it's as if would with it is more of them for to build on. and it's only the silence and eyes that believe that the wasp will coming. we are going to the war. yes. for one self is i said, man, i thus giddy loud or is your moody it with her? well, law dictates or how quickly will that then but that e deb. hey, i lawton, and i think that's already there to learn azure for la must villa on this matter either. web b? well, let us hate for gonna lab. no, oh, his name is sarah, east london. we're more than if you any more, nor has the corolla. i mean the still luck will more than it be in all. oh,

had the shop. oh my be silly. swati. oh, assad's 1st move was to crush down the protesters. ah oh. but this simply spurred on his opponents who themselves began to take up arms. their ranks were bolstered by soldiers deserted the syrian army. soon they received international support on that. it's not easy because they open the war all over the country. i mean, it's much easier to fight the war along your border. but whenever i saw the president, they would say we're going to be here and we're going to fight and we're going to be victorious. we will prevail, no problem, no matter how painful it is. but at the end,

we will prevent ah, by the sum of 2011 syrian government forces had lost control of half the country, media images circulated, showing the white spread killing of any opposition the world watched. in shock. on serious acids position, weakened and western governments turned against him. mary lou, i have indicated repeatedly that present alice out as lost legitimacy that he needs to step down. rather than drag his country in the civil war, he should move in the direction of the political transition. the view in the white house was as sad, is essentially finished and he is finished near term.

and our concern in the white house is that he may be finished before the president of the united states says he should be finished. therefore, we need to get the president up to make the statement to be on the right side of history before it happens. ah, this was quite a turn around for a president who had previously managed to project a very positive image to western leaders. he speaks english, he's a handsome man, wedding suit under thigh, and therefore one was an official used to come to him before the war. they say to him, well i do, i was an educated. he was didn't indicate that. he's that in the left for 2 years, and then the west thinks that's why he is good. that's why his flexible,

that's why he's in latin because he is was denied, means he has like us. you know, it means we'll give him the honor to describe him that he is one like us, but he is still in awe. the war caused a massive refugee exodus as hundreds of thousands and then millions of syrians flagged the fighting. this increasingly drew eastern european and other western countries into the whole crisis. france became one of the louder voices calling on our side to step done. with that, we select also clue policy all good. if you brush arda, it would be from point for book you'd want buffy, if could have been thought of you. in june 2012, the un organize a conference in june, eva, attended by the u. s. russia,

china and britain. it agreed to set up a transitional body, damascus involving the government and the opposition. but when you are secretary of state, hillary clinton suggested that aside should 1st step down, russian fallen mensa, loved av showed concern. it was clear to us by 2012, he would only negotiate under pressure. we hoped we hoped that the russians would apply that pressure. what does he want on the loop and you know, like, don't, and vba to go. what i, on traditional british cheeks with was his show would be, well, that was the soft tea along with did it for him. she measure became a lot really know how to do the inference was that russian president vladimir putin chose to protect aside as

syrian leader. russia had a naval base there and put and did not support the revolutions of the so called arab spring. or the idea that western countries were champions of human rights was there. oh, i see. well, you know, put on because of obama slash or so, but our us with need infection was special marked oil. what could you? i didn't kritisha go right to where you at 31. no sir. but missouri, emily, windows glow companies. 14 is only going to address them. this she lived with and she thought issue. they go to my last level brecht of diplomacy stalled. so western governments led by the us and france increased their support for the syrian opposition in exile and its armed wing, the free syrian army. what can we do to accelerate that process? the united states and other governments decided that they would try to coalesce,

the opposition provide it support so that it was strong enough to at a minimum, negotiate a transition in syria. oh, the west port. hundreds of millions of heroes and dollars into weapons and training programs for the soviet position. with this level of support, the opposition succeeded in gaining ground until government forces shown here in red, controlled only a 3rd of the contract. by early 2013 asada was becoming increasingly isolated. he rarely left the

presidential palace and several former allies defected, only the continued support of russia. iran and the armed lebanese group has bhalla, enabled the government to avoid defeat. with what i've been wild thyme when i felt that things are very, very difficult. and when i felt that it could be the last, see it, i live and because we had only let them in there, you know what, learn what none said. i will learn live and fight and die, and celia ah, why? this strategy began to pay dividends. i saw supporters rallied around him,

and he built a firm following among the middle class and the allah, white and christian minority communities. at the same time, the west also began to lose patience with the syrian opposition. if your own avenue have an opposition strong enough to take on a standing army and a regime with security forces that's backed by russia and iran, then you needed to be powerful and united. and i think one of the challenges we faced was it turned out, the opposition was neither strong nor united self does any more deeply poor should your keys at, as in more proportion. you get down, jonas, you see, did or did you. and if you, any people, if you will, because she was at bony, as from what i mean, m. o and sit do, and i to push out, ah, with the opposition. however,

certain armed groups began to gain more influence than others. were getting stronger. they had money, they had ammunition, they had food, they could pay salaries to their fighters. a lot of young syrians are joining them . i recommended and i know colleagues at the cia recommended that we help those more moderate elements, who were on the one hand, competing with the al qaeda affiliate in syria, called the nurse her front. and on the other hand were fighting asa the moderate opposition was therefore forced to fight on 2 fronts. and asada was present the west with a greater challenge and thoughtful thought on the murat. tiffany hutsel level cut

them a lot. on the 21st of august 2030 syrian government forces used chemical weapons against opposition held areas. hundreds of people were killed, including many children. i saw had visited troops nearby 20 days before the time. oh, i do with the, with the u. s. it announced a year before the chemical weapons were a red line not to be crossed any use they said will be met with an american response. france also said it will be prepared to support the us with

a or power. ah, president obama has the military to prepare for quite a significant response. some of the senior syrian officials sent their families out of damascus because they were worried. ah, then you might get more fighting in damascus itself. it would have been physically devastating for ah, for physical assets of the syrian regime. the precision that i know it would have reduced to, to almost 0. the potential for non combat to be killed. a few hours before the planned strikes, obama called a white house crisis meeting. there was a long national security council meeting that was focused. it's fair to say more on

how to go about military response than whether the turning point moment was when to president came to the conclusion that he changed his mind of sweets was done. may i get a pin? the whole said, look, his old boy. yes, surely good. say to play or is almost no soon if you see lou, lou critical food and to top wife than you know, we're gonna be the money to buy his chip. what i want to do that, tell me how to sell it. don't you? pickups it showed him a mo, an at bonaparte completed resume. his major concern is that the

day after an american strike goss, i would still be there and might even use chemical weapons again. so then we have to hit again and maybe this time a bit harder and take out some more air defense. and then again, the logic would be to escalate into a bigger strike. and i think the president's concern was he would not be in control of that decision. it would be awesome. mm. mm. healing the debate. no, any symbols refugees have come from a common impacted country. the climate emergency is putting more pressure on cities across the world and amplify your voice. it's not really the future. it's now. it's not our responsibility to please give a lot kind of response and believe it cannot lose hope. we know what to do, and we had the tools to do to get back with all the paper. this stream on al

jazeera, a guess with there was, is, i was a little boy in india. my dream was to make what he would focus. so finally, i is going to do it one man's quest to realize a lifelong ambition. the studio chose was of my own village and gets danced. permission going behind the lens as got him saying,
