it's six thirty pm here in moscow you're with artsy these are the top stories new york police get tough on thousands of occupy wall street activist furious their taxes are being used to prop up corporate america protesters and stage their biggest rally in three weeks after being joined by big unions. euro zone finance chiefs look how proud banks that may suffer a blow from greece's burgeoning debt crisis this meanwhile are not those violent protests rocks against ever toughening allstar new measures. to syria the woman

seen as the symbol of the received brutality against its own people reappears alive and well after reportedly being beheaded as for several media tune into backtracking after giving her suppose a death saturation coverage. when next we meet a former british ambassador to that war stricken country the resolution vetoed by two permanent members russia and china has put the u.n. security council possible eastward gives his take on events in the region. today i'm talking to basel eastwood's he's a former u.k. ambassador to syria he was serving in damascus twenty nine hundred ninety six thousand the situation's changed a lot since then and we're going to talk about what the situation on the ground is like now mr he said thank you very much for talking to us today now russia believes

that assets deserves at least some credit for trying to instigate some kind of reform do you agree well if you was seriously trying he tried to little them too late and his efforts have been totally undermined by the. violence that has been used on the peaceful demonstrations so that for every. death it becomes that much more difficult to conceive of any solution which leaves him and his country in power so from here you don't think there's any way back for a start i think frankly the best one can hope for is some sort of negotiated transition. that might give him a way out. but it's very difficult to see how he can stay in power in the long run in the short run yes by increasing repression he can say that . but only the longer run it's not viable transition to him that i mean if assad

does go is that a genuine opposition that could feasibly take control in any kind of threats of way that is the major problem the nature of the opposition is or of the demonstrations is that they have been so largely spontaneous that there is no very coherent leadership and the various attempts to bring together. the leadership behind a unified proposal for an alternative have so far failed but it's becoming clearer and clearer i think to the manner street. syria that they've got to have a good alternative proposition if regime change is to be. not only credible but to happen without massive bloodshed and destruction so look the pressure is on the various. aspects of the opposition to come together and form an alternative proposition so you think that the opposition in syria is less organized

and cohesive than it is a nightmare it's much more complicated certainly. because whereas in libya you have an opposition that is has come together to fight a military campaign in syria you have an opposition version has come together behind calls for peaceful demonstrations with the sole. aim of. of. moving the regime but that has not required the same sort of coordination that the opposition has to across in in libya and what do you think of me down from the outside since specifically we've already seen the e.u. in paste oil embargoes on syria with threats of further action if the situation doesn't praise that what form do you think they saxons can take in and who do you think that affect the maids depends what the sanctions are i would hope that the

sanctions will be rather carefully targeted at particular individuals. and that's the course that has been followed so far except for the oil sanctions basically as the net is expanded to capture more of the the big businessmen who have worked alongside the regime and who have probably tacitly supported it in the past. so the tendency will be. will be increasing pressure on them. to ditch the regime and find some other way of securing their interests and what about the ordinary man in the streets is there a way to avoid sanctions affecting him but the problem for the ordinary person is that the whole syrian economy. is going to be more and more affected by the disruption and the insecurity and the total collapse of the tourism industry

for example which is increasingly important in syria. so it is those things that are going to harm the ordinary man in the street rather than targeted sanctions how likely is the thinking is that syria could tell into another movie or type situation i sincerely hope that it won't what is remarkable so far is the extent to which the opposition has remained nonviolent there have been episodes of violence. which is understandable in a country where there's quite a lot of weaponry around. and violence is being used against the people. but so far it has been largely nonviolent and there are increasing calls among your problems for the regime saying you know we've got to use violence i sincerely hope they will those calls will be resisted so i don't think it's going to turn into that sort of

. civil war type confrontation i also think it's inconceivable that any outside powers would want to intervene militarily in a situation which is so complicated on the ground it's very difficult to see how any sort of outside intervention would help or indeed it would probably hinder because it's the one thing that might bring all the syrians together in opposition to outside intervention so i just don't see that happening i think that's well realized amongst those who are most large in condemnation of the syrian regime's activities how does that is healthy trace. it's going to play out over what kind of timeframe for example a very good question and i have to say i don't know the answer. the short term i think the regime will probably survive. through increased repression and shown itself willing to do whatever it takes and so far there are no signs of the the

core of the regime crumbling. but as the economy deteriorates as the big business which has supported the regime seems that its future cannot live that way i think you're going to see more. defections from the regime and there will come a point i would think within months rather than years. when things quite rapidly fall apart. if the opposition can get its act together. and then. firstly it may happen is likely more rapidly as people see the prisoner transfer and secondly when it does happen it may sound a better chance of being relatively peaceful wealth and bloody chaos when we talk about opposition in syria what kind of people are we talking about. it's very

difficult because the the activists who have. led if that is the word the demonstrations on the streets are largely unknown people. with. tremendous courage. and determination to put their political views more positively as to watch it happen to syria a largely unknown. but i think you can assume that it will not be. sectarian it will. have a. a role in it for the muslim brotherhood. but the syrian muslim brotherhood are relatively modern minded and will be i think prepared to play along with coalition politics.

it will i think. be a regime which. is so i put it. mainly concerned with its internal problems it is not going to be a regime which indulges in adventurism because of the israel or anyone else. but it will be a regime that is finding its way under very difficult circumstances if you thought that big business supporting the regime in syria we all say some support coming from the outside particularly from iran how do you think that will play out in such an unstable region well it's one of the things that i think has in spoke inspired e.g. the saudis to come out in criticism of the regime that. they many of the governments in the middle east are profoundly worried about iran. and don't like the extent to

which what is happening in syria might increase in iranian influence but i have to say that. the iranian government itself does not like to be seen as being the principal supporter of a secular regime that is using violence in this way and there have been signs of a ring in embarrassment. so. i don't know quite how this one's going to play out but i don't think it's a clear cut situation then leading emerging market economy. india china and south africa they all of a western approach to what's going on in maine and do you think that the arab spring in general will result in division between the old are the new economic powerhouse and many of the states in the united nations representation in the u.n. . feel unhappy about the way in which. the resolution of the

security council which authorized all necessary measures in relation to libya. was used by nato particularly france of u.k. with american support as justification for. activity and support which has in fact led to regime change and i think a number of other governments feel that this is a worrying. precedent. but it does not mean to say that. in any way favor. either cut off its regime in libya or what i said is doing in syria. thank you very much on top leisure.
