9:30 am
for any particular reason to doubt the genuine observatory's figures. but there is another group led by this man was a very his figures are slightly higher than the original observatories groups the syrian observatory for human rights. makes a point to be they say you know they're independent they're human 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 as arabs group claims they do as well but their figures for the number of. military dead are much much lower so this seems to be you know a certain agenda there 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
9:31 am
support outside intervention and the protestors who don't so you've got groups like the syrian national council which are now openly in favor of a no fly zone which to me seems 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 there's a split and they said we don't support a no fly zone they said that simeon songs of so these 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 riff within the syrian opposition been more widely reported using sterilizing for the potentially damaging for. for the original
9:32 am
syrian observatory for human rights if they get into a slanging match about or with just two sides fighting each other sort of thing and they would they i mean that they don't want to speak about it very 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 we didn't 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 and i think i think it still needs to be looked into more i think it's very difficult this this is a ration in syria it's very very difficult to get reliable information from anyone . and the main reason for that is the fact that the regime has not allowed free access to journalists of because of is the ongoing crime that is
9:33 am
committed wish to seem to be. hopefully not but things do seem to be spiraling towards the scenario of civil war i think what is what is good that it's journalists are open to the views of activists on the ground which is i mean essentially what was the syrian observatory for human rights that's where they get their information from these activists and eyewitnesses 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's 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
9:34 am
consumption of the figures published by the zawi group a lot of the mainstream news channels of were taken in by his area 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 group says he was never a spokes person for them his kind of narrative which has become increasingly shrill that he it plays into the narrative of 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 and we need to do something and it plays into that kind of narrative i mean for example periods last month on. our straightly in 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
9:35 am
kind of see. 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 part of the opposition or sympathetic to the opposition that's why they kind of they don't like this kind of approach because the crimes of the regime are bad enough without kind of. using words like genocide from the syrian observatory. group emphasized to me that they're against a no fly zone and that's part of it doesn't seem to be picked up by the media in general although they quote their figures a lot they don't quote the fact that well they said explicitly to me you know i haven't kakkar said to me that we were 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 they pick. and they did does i suppose the reality of. bloodshed on the ground does
9:36 am
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 as well as opposition. from within the there is rhetoric from the outside of threats of are the bombing from israel. the u.s. all this talk in the media and threats allows the regimes to then say oh well look
9:37 am
you have to support us because otherwise you're going to you know you going to get bombed and these opposition people they're not genuine opposition they're just agents and so on and so forth so. i think and outside 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 present 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 to. essentially to keep everything of her and her parents or his vice president was and the regime essentially staying the same there's a look what's going on in the region is there's very much a counter revolution to their way of revolution swept us the region the whole arab
9:38 am
oil since. the tunisian uprising was successful in the persian. in l.a. there's a very powerful counter revolution which is led by saudi arabia backed by the americans. and also by in a more indirect way by israel. the aim of this cancer revolution is by all means to keep regimes in power and if necessary shedding the heads and see you see that happening in egypt where the military rulers were able to preserve themselves dispenser and i think these same powers would they are open to that happening in syria keeping the same they're really care about democracy perceval just want more that whatever is best for their interests and if if there would be a more manageable. regime which then had a different figurehead they certainly go for that and when stanley thank you thanks .

after the medics examined him deem him no longer fight worthy ju-ju a broken rib but it seems that was a live game plan all along which moment when asked why are not taking a toll i applied i can fight two rounds with this guy but he's a really serious opponent to have to break something or i won't get anything out of the fight but the manner in which the fight ended didn't put a damper on most alive celebrations calling out anyone who wished to challenge him . there were a host of other bouts during the mixed martial arts extravaganza with fighters from all over the world competing tonight's event is undoubtedly a display of real power and aggression so it's a little bit strange to see women entering the ring the cage behind me. indeed the knights entertainment included an all female bout but there wasn't much to see as yannick who needs guard disposed of opponent within minutes of the first round when asked whether more women should participate yanis position was interesting. i
