a syrian woman seen as the symbol of the regime brutality against his own people reappears alive and well after reportedly being beheaded for several backtracking out there giving to the supposed death saturation coverage. it's eight thirty one now here in moscow next to meet a former british ambassador to that war stricken country the resolution vetoed by two permanent members russia and china split the security council gives his take on the region on events in the region. today i'm talking to basil 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 want to talk about what the situation on the ground is like now astri said thank you very much for talking to us today now ross have been these facts acids deserves at least some credit for trying to instigate some kind of

reform you are going well if you was seriously trying to try to little and 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 coterie 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. 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 you can say that. but only the longer run it's not a viable transition to him that i mean if assad does go is there a genuine opposition that could feasibly take control in any kind of facts of

waiting that is the the major problem the nature of the opposition is or the demonstrations is that they have been so largely spontaneous that there is no very coherent leadership and the various attempts to bring together. a leadership behind a unified proposal for american officials have so far failed but it's becoming clearer and clearer i think to the american street. syria. they've got to have a long term to proposition if regime change is to be. not only credible but to happen without massive bloodshed and destruction so that 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 that it isn't there 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 and you have an opposition version has come together behind calls for peaceful demonstrations with the sole aim of now of. moving the regime but that has not require the same sort of coordination that the opposition house had to acquire in in libya and what you think of me down from the outside sanctions specifically we've already seen a u.n. paste oil embargo case on syria with threats of further action if the situations as they're praying what form do you think based actions could taken and here do you think that affect the knaves depends what the sanctions are i would hope that the sanctions would 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 expanding it 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. too to ditch the regime and find some other way of securing their interests and what about the ordinary man on the streets is there a way to avoid sanctions affecting him 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 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 do you think it is that syria could tap into another libya 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 those quite a lot of weaponry around. violence is being used against the people. but so far it has been largely nonviolent and there are increasing calls amongst the presence of a regime saying you know we've got to use violence i sincerely hope they will reach those calls of the resistance 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 indeed it would probably hinder it because it's one thing that might bring more syrians together in opposition to outside intervention so i just don't see that happening and i think that's well realized amongst those who are most loudly in condemnation of the syrian regime's activities how do you think it's healthy tracings going. payouts over what kind of timeframe for example 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. apart as the economy deteriorates

as the. big business which has supported the regime seems that its nutritional libre 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. then. firstly it may happen slightly more rapidly as people see that there isn't printers and secondly when it does happen it may sound a better chance of being relatively peaceful rather than bloody chaos when we talk about opposition in syria what kind of people are we talking about what's more 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 but their political views more positive way is 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 why put it. mainly concerned with its internal problems it is not going to be a regime which indulges in adventurism views of israel or anyone else. but it will be a regime that is finding its way under very difficult circumstances and you talk about big business supporting the regime in syria perhaps we also see 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 been spelt 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 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 personal rus a india china and south africa. they rest approach to what's going on in the moment do you think that the arab spring in general will result in division between the old and the new economic powerhouse that many of the states in the united nations representation in us. 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 from some of you. 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. it is doing in syria. thank you very much for the top pleasure.
