there by this man was a very his figures a slightly higher than the original observatories groups the syrian observatory for human rights led by romeo. makes a point to be they say you know they're independent rights and. they record all deaths whether they're soldiers syrian soldiers loyal to the regime or the defectors or their protesters where as. now is are it's group printed as well but their figures for the number of. military did a much much lower so this seems to be you know certain agenda they're behind it all seems to me basically. although both sides deny differences in in military intervention essentially in political differences there is different trends in the syrian opposition mainly between people who support outside intervention and the protestors who don't so you go complain that the syrian national council which are

now openly in favor of a no fly zone which to me seemed ridiculous because you know there isn't any even claimed that i know of. the syrian regime for all its many crimes there's no claims that it's bombed people so no fly zone just seems a political pretext to invade to me. and the original syrian observatory for human rights group is against that that there was split and he said we don't support a no fly zone they said that to me and sounds of so these to these two sides these two groups they both seemed to although they denied direct links to different factions of the opposition they seemed their position seems to line up why hasn't this internal riffle in the syrian opposition been more widely reported do you think it's damaging for the potentially damaging for the original syrian observatory for human rights if they get into a slanging match about or with just two sides for. writing each other sort of thing

and they they would they i mean they didn't want to speak about as i read to me the original syrian observatory group because of that so that's one factor another factor is just embarrassing for example for the b.b.c. to say well you did probably check this guy and we put him on b.b.c. news channel as a spokesperson for the syrian observatory which has become a really highly quoted source in this can we still trust that they think there is a good question i mean i think i think it still needs to be looked into more i think it's very difficult this is to ration in syria it's very very difficult to get reliable information from him. because and the main reason for that is the fact that the regime has not allowed free access to journalists. because it is the only crime was committed which do seem to be. hopefully not but things do seem

to be spiraling towards the scenario of the i think while is what is good that it's journalists are open to the views of activists on the ground which is i mean essentially what this new router of human rights that's where they get their information from these activists and i witness is on the ground i think it's good for journalists to be open so that at the same time they do need to check them so i think there is a tendency for. the media in this country in america to accept more uncritically the views of activists on the ground in the case of syria and also iran because it they're seen as anti western regimes whereas if it's in the case of things like palestine for example they far far far less regular for them to take the views of activists on the ground how willing has the foreign media would you say been its consumption of the figures published by the zawi group. a lot of the mainstream

news channels sort of were taken in by as ari and he's appeared on the b.b.c. and he's appeared on zero english and c.n.n. and probably others. as a spokesperson for the observatory although he rarely have direct friends groups as he was never a spokesperson for them his kind of narrative which has become increasingly shrill where he it plays into the narrative of or we need to do something we meaning you know the west or the british government or the american government or whatever we need to intervene or we need to do something and it plays into that kind of narrative i mean for example periods last month on. australian t.v. and he used the word genocide which of what's happening now i mean. that seems to me exaggerated for all the crimes of the bashar assad regime he's he's kind of seems to be inflating it which to me is is damaging to the opposition and

that's what people who i've spoken to who are either part of the opposition or sympathetic to the opposition that's why they're kind of they don't like this kind of approach because the crimes of the regime in bad enough without kind of. using words like in. the syrian observatory their little group emphasized to me that they're against the floods and that's part of it doesn't seem to been picked up by the media in general that although they call their figures a lot they don't quote the fact that well they said explicitly to me you know i haven't kept going since and where we're against a no fly zone we don't want to war in this country we want we just want democracy. so again that the media seems to be quite selective of the parts that make it. and they did does i suppose the reality of. bloodshed on the ground does does play into it into what's going on in the u.s.

and to a certain extent but i think there's greater political forces at play here how damaging could a foreign intervention be in syria any outside military intervention in syria would be. very much in it for the worse the kurds. the regional confrontation. and it could even increase support for the regime within the country we saw you see what happened in the case of iran when there was opposition to them from within the there is rhetoric from the outside of threats of the bombing from israel. the u.s. all this talk in the media. threats allows the regimes to then say oh well look you have to support us because otherwise you're going to you know you're going to get bombed and over these opposition people they're not genuine opposition they're just

agents and so on and so forth so. i think and i saw intervention. in terms of whether it's just the so-called no fly zone or any kind of military intervention would very much make things worse. the arab league solution to the syrian crisis is for president as sad to see power to his deputy is that fair i think that's a way of keeping the regime in place and changing the figurehead that seems to be very much the g.c.c. plan in yemen for example where they wanted. to to step down and. as i say to keep everything a parameter apparency his vice president was and the resume regime essentially staying the same there's a look what's going on in the region is there's very much a cancer revolution to the wave revolution sweats the region the whole are full sense. the tunisian uprising was successful in the polls and. in every.

there's a very powerful counter revolution which is led by saudi arabia backed by the americans. and also by it in a more indirect way by israel. and the aim of this cancer revolution is by all means to keep regimes in power and if necessary shedding the heads and so you see that happening in egypt where the military rulers were able to preserve themselves spencer and i think these same powers would they are open to that happening in syria keeping the same then we care about democracy perceval just want more that whatever is best for their interests here and if if there would be a moment of your ball bathurst regime which then had a different figurehead they certainly go for that and when stanley thank you thanks .
