injured palestinians were killed in the offensive many are seeking justice to the courts having their families destroyed. and north korea is preparing to bury its form a leader kim jong il the secrecy surrounding his youngest son and successor is fueling worldwide feelings of uncertainty over the country's future. returning to syria next as r.t. talks to a french journalist who's been reporting from the country throughout the conflict and shares now his firsthand impressions on what's really happening there. as the conflict in syria continues it's been extremely hard to establish exactly what's been happening here inside the country we're joined now by independent journalist the airiness sun thank you very much for joining us now you've been working on the ground here in syria can you tell us where your perceptions of the situation are big and we've some are my groups inside become three.

making big problems. islamic emirates one of the border first in nevada. and various people. recruits some of them to to make bigger fighting groups and. call the nation with a political opposition to this country a very. long history of the position between the bass party and we mostly brotherhood so no reason that i didn't speak to in this. groups coming from abroad so that's why these groups come in go quite everywhere because we have some support now inside the population begin by. frayne subversion but they find

a support inside the country. in the difficult to know why they find the support if it's because people is ready to use any means to reverse the government or if it's. for some ideological reasons and if you were muslim brothers they said the very reverse. prism bashar said not because they want democracy but because he's. so it could be the beginning of. a use war inside the country three described as a country on the brink of civil war do you think the situation is actually there yet we have seen the beginning of a civil war in some places especially in by in years but now it's finished and no end in homs but nothing needs extending to a country i think because of external pressure from against syria and always

people in three inside syria who continue but i don't think you know no reason to think that it will extend to all who come to pass peace country was an example of friendly leaving between the different communities and since very long time it's not at all. it's probably his story of of syria you know what since thirty nine hundred taurean. in damascus very. big mosque. if we d. is. has sunni and shia and sometimes i have a pest which people praying to get there if we did this a mosque so they have a long tradition of peaceful. coexistence between the communities.

but since but then the last two yours and the middle east. being populistic system is pushing the division between the communities that's. to reshape to read the least dividing the people in different sects we can see that varies now some people in this country are supporting these projects of hostility between. different communities and some of them are seen as sillies the most important community they have to control the poor and to exclude all those six from the four they were also on the ground during the war in libya in what ways did you draw comparisons to the situation that's happening now in syria so the way it works for nato is exactly the same they do exactly the same way to create the file on the united nations first two we've version of a council on human rights and after security council they try to manipulate league

exactly in the same way in. case they organize a big story in front of vision of a concern for human rights they say days five thousand people killed by security forces of course it's absolutely on the base a lot of people killed but very few by the security forces most of them killed by this armor groups they put inside the car and with the same armor whoops they use in libya you know you have some different mission but we have a six hundred people coming from libya who are now in syria especially you know but . the military go around the of tripoli libya is no easy. in turkey to organize all the fight inside libya and they had. to could do. particularly big. which was the people from my kid or no responsible for

security in tripoli tonight. they are now all of them inside syria and the. spanish reporter was first in libya recognize them here in inside at the top of beasts a so-called free syrian army but not syria but you know in steam libya for supporting the street it was only in syria and the care because there was. an old contentious between syrian people it and i which was this country was created artificially very late so you don't have such a thing in syria and so you have the only way to divide the people is to use the contrition rule so we try to do that now. below it's. so nice and of course of course to. christian jews and so on but to have

a main fight they want to create peace between and i would send signals last competition a war in syria. hundred sixty years ago so it's difficult to prevent how do you see the situation progressing now first. i think that all be reaction to destabilize the country are not working we see a lot of problems a lot of people killed but this is not a civil war great way to organize if they want to enter with foreign troops inside like be doing lead or using proxy from the gulf council i think they will. very probably because based country israel will not will love this country is leaving since sixty years in the middle east who is that will has not led. you know

on the economic level those big problems at the beginning of a sanctions destroy different part of the economy of course all the tourism is totally destroyed but during the winter you have more fuel. also a problem with. different imported goods. but. i think this. is no changing because varies new agreements between syria. and china on that so a way to i know to impose. sanctions. it could be a disaster for his country but we discover very quickly but it will be also disaster mikkel disaster for the ovals arab countries around survey have to stop these sanctions so no. syria is able to resist very long time to be.

pressured from the top these think the president is that they now has the capability the capacity to remain in power of course and. the problem is that the people who try to destabilize assad we have the stronger side of that they are creating the meat they have already some they will have. but i said at the beginning where you have the wrong evolution of the program think it would be very simple more to grade the student if you like a conversational civil war but they make a mistake. we've dealt a number who if we put didn't. the media when they created this leaking rate. because he became very thinly behind in syria. they have a lot of weapons from the beginning because bases from the army not to leave.

the smuggling underworld you know but they have very big stocks so very can have a basis to extend the civil war in the country but here they think it and after that they use the people way of cement going from one told to enter the creating problem for went on to another but not able to destabilize all the country of the same time and i think you know it's too late they will fade thank you very much for joining us.
