nicholas rushworth is here with us on the set to take a look at papers in paris now. 20 members of the coalition are here to try to figure out a new strategy to fight the islamic state. what did the french president have to say about that? nicolas: let's go to the catholic daily. you can see the headline "a facade of unity," against what we know as the islamic state organization. the 20 or more countries and organizations in the coalition do not have an answer. that is on the ground, working in favor of the islamic state organization. that point of view is echoed in another paper, which has the headline there the coalition

really having a problem settling on a strategy. one french diplomat says bashar al-assad is weaker and things are changing on the ground, and this is the time to tighten up the coalition. paris is pushing for a strong response, but that article has a gloomy verdict at the end quoting a u.s. diplomat saying, the obama administration is just not going there because barack obama is at this point seeing himself in terms of his legacy and that legacy is about health care reform and about dealing with the wars of the past of his predecessor, george w. bush, and not so much the islamic state. genie: are the united states papers as pessimistic? nicolas: the best place to go is "the new york times." it is asking, can victory over isis be more than a barrage --

more than a mirage? it points to about seven main articles that are really good. the questions come up -- will the whole question of foreign weapons work in the region or not? will that make the united states organization weaker or without fire? i chose one article out of seven in "the new york times." written by next bird in suicide bombings. she says what the u.s. and the coalition should do with working with iraq is to exploit the divisions that already exist in the islamic state's organization. you can see the headline. she points specifically on one of the main splits within the islamic state group, between the local fighters who joined on the ground and the foreign fighters, who have more advantages. they earn more and do different things than the local fighters. there is room for a divide and

rule policy from the west. the west can target local fighters with social media and say look at the horror that his been enacted on your women, the torture and rape and all the things that we hear of. she says that if you go that route, you will make some progress in breaking up the islamic state group, which she would say is full of splits. genie: staying with his region the future of syria is obviously an important part of this equation. you saw an article by a former top u.s. diplomat who says the lessons learned from the balkan conflict have their place here. nick: i found this comment piece by christopher hill in "gulf news," a former ambassador for the u.s. to iraq. he is saying that we have to really compare the situation now

regarding syria with what happened in the balkans 20 years ago. back then there was a contact group plan in place. there was an effort to contact slobodan milosevic, the equivalent in this scenario today of bashar al-assad. a very extreme situation requiring extreme response, and the contact group plan was successful, he argues, in doing that, and syria should have that now. a really fascinating piece about how to approach this thing. let me just end on a piece by robert fisk in "the independent," embedded on the ground in syria. if you want the latest about the fighting on the ground, robert fisk is embedded with the third armored division of the syrian

army, and you can see the horrible testimonies if you have the courage to read it about the violence being perpetrated by the islamic state group or genie: thank you so much for that. do not forget, if you want more details on any of those articles, you can check out our
