the top stories marty tonight kevin now in the observer's ride for the arab league's reaches syria's most troubled city amid reports that government tanks are pulling out. three years since israel waged a deadly assault on gaza the palestinian still struggling with its legacy turn to the courts now to make amends. and the latest probe into the fukushima nuclear disaster blames the plant's operators for being ill prepared and not responding properly to the effects of the earthquake and tsunami. well back to our top story now r.t. talks to a french journalist who's been reporting from the country throughout the conflict

and he shares his first time impressions of what he sees. 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 erema 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 and begin we have some groups entering inside the country and making big problems trying to quit. rates on the border first. and various people. recruits some of them to to make bigger fighting groups and no way of

entering in coordination with the political opposition to this country very. long history of the position between the. brotherhood saw no reason that i didn't speak to in this. brothers and there's. groups coming from abroad so that's why this group's come in go quite everywhere because b. of some support and inside the population begin by. fray in subversion but they find a support inside become. in the difficult to know why they find the support if it's because people is ready to use any means to reverse for government or if it's. for some ideological reasons and if you were muslim brothers they said the very reverse. president bashar less said not

because they want their work received but because he's. so it could be the beginning of. religious war inside the country. 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 play from against syria and all of these people entering inside syria who continue but i don't think they are no 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 from the us it's probably his story of of syria you know but

since the thirteenth century. in damascus very. big mosque. in vs most if we d. is. a sunni and shia and sometimes i have a past which people praying to get there if we did we say mosque. so i have a have a long tradition of peaceful. coexistence between the communities but since between nasty holes in the middle east the beam populistic system is pushing the division between the communities and it's. to reshape who told me the least dividing the people in different sects we can see that varies now some people in this country 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 sects 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 be do exactly the same way to create the file on the united nations first so we've version of a council on human rights and after the security council they try to manipulate league exactly in the same way in the libyan case they organize a big story in front of vision of a concern for human rights they say to ease her 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 are killed by this armor groups they put inside the cold and with the same armor whoops they use in libya you know you have some different mission between six hundred people coming from libya who are now in syria especially you know what. the military goes on the off tripoli libya is no easy. in turkey to organize all the fight inside libya and they had a very. particularly big. which was the people from my kid or no responsible for security in tripoli tonight. they are all of them inside syria and the. spanish reporter was first in libya recognized them here in the inside of 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 in the car because there was. an old contentious between syrian care and tripoli tonight 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 confession of war so we try to do that now. below it's. so nice and of course more so to. christian jews and so but to have a main fight they want to create peace between i would since his last competition a war in the syria. hundred sixty years ago so it's difficult to prevent how do you see the situation progressing now first on the military level. 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 the do in libya or using proxy from the gulf council i think. the problem is miska. he's reading full bottle glorious countries leaving soon sixty years in the released one with that will not likely be now on the economic level there is big problems the beginning of ascensions 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 will. different imported goods. but. i

think this. is no changing because varies new agreements between syria iran and china of that so it why no to impose. sanctions. it could be a disaster for his country but we discover very quickly but it will be absolute disaster mikkel disaster for the ovals arab countries around survey have to stop is sanctions so no. syria is able to resists very long time to be. pressured from the top do you 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

a stronger set of that they are creating the meat they have already. they will have . but i said at the beginning of a wrong evolution of the program they think it would be very simple what the grade the student of the constitutional civil war but they make a mistake have a great slow rate. we've dealt a number of off we put in and in libya when they created this leaking rate. because he became very thinly behind in syria. they have a lot of weapons from the beginning because they seized from the army not to leave in the same 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 that and after that they use the people way of sense going from one told to handle the

creating problem for went on to another but not able to destabilize all the country at the same time. and i know it's too late. thanks very much for joining us. the least explore areas. touched by money. surrounded by stupid. case paintings on display for thousands of years. beyond.
