2:03 pm
a question really just how it independently they were able to operate in the country all of the sites reports of people we're speaking to he said he didn't really seem to be taking in account of very thing that was being said they obviously couldn't have had from every single passenger he wanted to speak in another question that's raised about this mission is whether more of these monitors were needed then what is going to be interesting moving forward is whether or not this mission is now extended because it can very divisive as a response to what the people want that the hospital not some people think this really is essential to this mission continues and in fact just possibly that tarp i was speaking to one of the former advisers to the government and indeed the previous government here in syria we can listen to his opinion on the situation now . the situation.

2:07 pm
parliament powerful e.u. accession all the manifestations that we see are done by people musicians who are not represented in the parliament yet they represent some forty percent apparently because opinion polls all the people deny that so the worrisome thing for corroboration the political class indeed of those opposing membership are worried that being part of the union will mean a loss of sovereignty how much of a voice do you think horatio will have if it joins the e.u. . well crew asia is of course a small country i mean they probably want to get there but they can all make integration it's looking at their northern neighbor and went to austria to begin with it but. positive or negative the extra accession of a personal kind of that will not have a major impact not for better or for worse whether it will know the major impact on croatia that is and that i think will be the case and for the moment it does not
