syria's decision to let observers into their contrie splits own position groups some welcome the move all this intensified calls for outside military interventions and months of the rest. of this by fading haber of finding more survivors from my capsized oil rig in russia's far east the search goes on to serve and he will pull them live from freezing waters a private hospital. and mind you was one of russia's long position leaders finds himself faced in the phone conversation has threatened to damage his relationships with allies he labeled cowardly penguins.

a very warm welcome to you this is our life from moscow syria could be the next object of a foreign military intervention if some opposition groups get their way their call for help are growing louder insisting it's the only way to protect civilians from government security forces the libya style demand comes despite the latest decision by damascus to allow arab league observers to monitor how the regime dealing with on the rest there's been recent reports suggesting that dozens of thousands have been killed by syrian troops. about the situation in syria now looks more like a civil war than i government cracked. with here in the embattled city of homs and you can hear heavy gunfire in the background that is really hard to share insurance is that the civilian population here lives here as we call the week. after months

to ensure. the ongoing violence is taking its toll best had they had the right maybe who's that have been suffocated surrounded by armed groups there are many people who could not have had enough who did we do to design this homes this being described as a city on the brink in civil war where some of the series fiercest fighting has broken out. driving through the streets there are clear signs of conflicts bullet holes and when day pains and he. has a heavy military presence we went to visit some of the areas where concentrated fighting was continuing. dangerous to visit. you know there is a city daily life struggles on movies and the backdrop of gunfire. you can see the children playing here in the homes that this is day one of the major. conflict continues for the safety of the civilians. the situation in

homes right now is far more complex than simply what is the opposition against the regime had deep seated sectarian conflicts have with their heads. from the very beginning. because. much more than. a military funeral held yesterday gets under way five soldiers killed by what the government says is an increasingly militant movement and on the same day reports from the opposition the harrowing accounts of civilian deaths around the country. make serious decision to allow the arab league to send observers to the more important. in the same time preserve our sovereignty so really it depends on the intention really want to help syria or corner. was the decision by the main opposition outside the country b. s.

and c. . the opposition inside the country has welcomed in the north. we hope it's going to be implemented on the ground as it stated in the protocol and we remain completely against international intervention it would lead the country into destruction. with a fractious opposition rising death toll with facts and information still very hard to verify even on the ground as a rival here in syria will be an important step but it's going to be just one of many more that we need to fully and seeing to ensure that no more lives. surf. city of homs. or for more on the ongoing violence in syria i'm now joined by regional expert dr klein from amman jordan many thanks for joining us here on our. opposition leaders from syria's national council which was formed in

istanbul a calling for military intervention for the sake of preventing civilian deaths do you think that this would help improve the situation in syria. well of course not i mean this is totally unacceptable not only to the syrian government but that is unacceptable to us even to the rest of the arabs and it is unacceptable to the syrian people we know how the syrian people feel that all against foreign intervention and we've seen what foreign intervention has done in other countries in iraq for example and in libya recently it was a disaster so nobody no arab i think not only let alone the syrians no arab would welcome a foreign intervention but these people the so-called opposition has gone out of their minds i think that they're just lost and they're beginning actually to lose contact complete contact with the syrian people it's the simple as that so this is

totally unacceptable and it is illegal i think also i mean to call for foreign intervention for destruction the destruction of that country this is almost to reason it is treason actually gets is a reasonable call to get the best to take a step back why then do you think that they are calling for this kind of action on lest they think that it could justifiably help the situation inside syria. there well i don't think so i think that they're desperate these people are desperate they want power they they of course they want to topple the syrian regime and that they don't care about the country you know even if the country is destroyed as long as there is toppled as long as they. gain power then they don't care much about that on homeland after all they've been out of their country for a long time and i don't think they have anybody who calls so foreign intervention

is actually there. not only to the syrian government but to the syrian people to the syrian homeland so this is totally unacceptable and i think that the internal opposition what i call the patty arctic op. inside syria is against foreign intervention like for example the popular front for change liberation now these people are a genuine opposition group that against. foreign intervention that are against despotism as well they want democracy they want social justice but at the same time that against any foreign intervention the syrian government to get to open dialogue with these inside groups who are truly patry article into law who want the good of syria and the good to the area now syria is moving on a serious national council has slammed the government's decision to let outside observers describing it as just

a ploy while all the opposition groups inside the country say that they see it as a step towards peace what do you think this tells us about the position of the opposition movement within syria. well naturally it is first of all a divided opposition totally divided you know it's not only two divisions of many divisions actually it's a very divided opposition very unconvincing to the syrian people and to us to the whole people in the area nobody is convinced of such an opposition the majority of them want foreign intervention and therefore they are rejected the syrian government never to open dialogue with such people as for the internal opposition the leftist secular opposition. opposition we welcome such an opposition we support such an opposition and we urge the syrian government to come to such an opposition like the popular front for change liberation but the opposition those who are

calling for foreign intervention totally rejected and there are actually. i'm sure the majority of the syrian people. that these people do not want the. the good. it's a simple as that of course it's a very divided opposition and. a political analyst many thoughts for speaking to us from jordan. thank you. ok still to come this hour on the program be the call bungles it's a bailout cash deadline is the blog struggled to convince member states to chip in for the common good of the euro also. we're going to be in the transformative moment movement for example an economic justice in america is not backing down the occupy movement gains momentum after three solid months of that wild ride we say against global financial forwards. we've gone holds the oil rig that

capsized in russia's far east on sunday where rescue operations are continuing despite a fading hopes of finding any more survivors a total of fourteen have now been safely brought to shore one to being treated in local hospitals met some of them as they arrived in port. dry land and the end of a nightmare for the weary few on board this ship rescued from a horrific ordeal in which friends and colleagues were lost they are among the few to be found alive after an all rig on the toast sank in freezing waters for the seven p. four about some make ports and their families awaiting them the moments will no doubt be one of intense relief but their tale of survival differs greatly to that the majority of those aboard this ill fated. psychologists and doctors met the survivors upon arrival filled likely to be an experience that will haunt them for

a lifetime. swam away from the rig a bit turned around inside capsize then i started swimming away as fast as possible in fear that i could be drawn into the board tax but those found alive you can see that in comparison they are the fortunate few dozens are still missing in the icy hoxsey following more than two days of searching planes are flying sorties to try and locate those lost and they're being accompanied by boats in the area but the hours spent scouring the horizon so far prefer as only the numbers found dead appear to grow and angry relatives for they know just who's to blame seem to like why did they need so many sixty seven people and then rick why what was the pattern of having six to seven people that. yes you know could be down the path i'm the wife of captain because look for the voyage he dressed every official morning down there to talk to him was pretty bitter in the winter months because of the heat it may have been one of the largest oil rigs in russia but disappeared beneath the

waves in a matter of minutes on the other what was supposed to yours investigators are looking into three possible causes of the accident firstly it could have been due to violations of safety regulations during the tugging of the drilling rig one securely the condition of the rig itself might be to blame and lastly the disease. the righ much have been taken without proper consideration of the weather conditions of the wreck site. the official findings will take some time but whatever the outcome the families of those of little comforts come to terms with losing their loved ones so the more experience their hope remains alive the possibility discovering further survivors appears slim. succulent and russia's far east. will of course continue to follow the rescue operation for instance they follow jake up on twitter he'll be monitoring developments as they happen and one

saying that this is kremlin phone tapping and that they've been released these phone conversations to try and discredit him and to split the opposition he doesn't ever admit that some of the phone conversations did happen and he's apologized for any insult caused in those but he says that others were falsified life news is oh no for its part has also added to the controversy by refusing to say where they got the recordings from and all of this is caused a great storm of controversy on the internet with people shocked by themselves words and his use of language about other opposition figures and the possible splits in russia's opposition that that could indicate. conspiracy in russian political life isn't just a case of internal affairs talk our website our dot com where we look at how washington is banned in moscow is playing a big politics tonight the country under the influence of the u.s. . and a protest tea far search for well named group of santa best who went missing after
