ten thirty am in moscow the security headlines u.n. members agree to soften the statement on syria with moscow ready to put its weight behind a resolution with no answer we seem all to made of. rushes he went on for war and nato which is too early to pull out of afghanistan is the mission there has not yet been accomplished he stresses the country is still plagued by insurgency and drugs . and the u.k.'s show of military might is the dispute of the islands almost three decades after the war has argentinians the region against what they say is revive
2:31 am
colonialism and also claims it's being rod that britain is set to scoop up sixty billion barrels of oil from under their nose some analysts fear damascus could follow libya's path with a foreign military intervention still not completely written off by nato states up next we sit down with newspaper editor abdel bari atwan who says syria could just be the next milestone to get to iran. today i'm talking to abdel bari atwan who's the editor of the london based part arabic newspaper al could be we last met around about six months ago when of course we were talking about libya but today we're meeting to talk about a different conflict again syria thanks very much for talking to me now let's start first by sort of comparing and contrasting those two situations where do you think the main differences lie between syria and libya there is a huge difference between what. is happening in syria.
2:32 am
and libya actually u.n. security council resolutions one seven one nine seventy three which actually allowed in the. or international community to protect civilians by all means in libya so. when you look at this and syria i believe because of the trainees intervention. support. because actually there is no. syria we can see the arab community is completely paralyzed on the scale of the. security council resolutions to intervene in syria and also you know from the military point of view what could be extremely costly for them to intervene in syria is a pretty strong country has a very strong we all saw very very soon. so.
2:33 am
it was easier i didn't see it and leave it couldn't be seen in syria here in the u.k. the operation in libya has been heralded as a success do you agree with that assessment and do you feel that it's creating more of a site for intervention in the region in general we have to remember that actually when. occupied iraq president bush said you know drop out they were very happy with the sec says they're. after nine years. was defeated the. american administration lost more than. there and they gave. around so that the same thing happened in afghanistan they claimed that. was a hoot success after ten years actually they are talking to taliban to reinstate him in power again so could be the same thing in libya immediately they said it was
2:34 am
easier i actually didn't lose a single soldier he was. there so but is it going to be the same in a year's time in two years time in five years already libya is a failed state or three thousand. you know missiles a surface to air missiles fall to the hands of radical groups that is a tribal civil war now the central government is very weak and there is such a movement. could be partitioned. into three states maybe six states god knows so the future is not really. comfortable for many people in syria though you say is different there is no oil as we discussed the opposition is very fragmented as well of days do you think the main reason is that the west doesn't seem as keen to intervene when actually the west wouldn't. have words to
2:35 am
change it jeems twice first in iraq and two thousand and three second in libya and two thousand and eleven. why they're in these two countries because there are all reserves there but when we look at syria there is no overt reserve so there are potential nutz. i don't believe there was you know for we all for. the art there are looking for it is the war for oil that's that's what's happening in the middle east so i think. that we're there losses if there are involved actually a war in syria ok in iraq there are hundred forty six billion barrels of oil in a league where there are forty billion that are local reserves there but what's there in syria for there is nothing so and the same time and i think the russian
2:36 am
and the chinese the feel they were deceived and they were actually. you know cheated by american there was some pause when they said you know we are interrogating therefore human reason and it will protect civilians and they use the u.n. security council to change that team which wasn't actually the case so i think the same. couldn't happen all repeat it in syria again i've got swire actually we are. the situation is continue as it is so what we've got at least for now is the accepted thinking is that local powers should take charge of this conflicts that's come in the form of the arab league how do you think that doing what i believe the league but i'm ethically because they're actually administration of the crisis was actually a. form of the management of the crisis was actually scandalous ignored that i shot and chinese completely and they filled their big can go to. the u.n. security council has
2:37 am
a new center and intervene or to impose sanctions on syria but actually the miscalculated. on the chinese to look stand here stop here you know you cannot intervene without without even security council resolutions and so i think the arab league failed miserably and they are running out of options and now some of them are very near. the armed opposition but this kind of arming the opposition. in our. face approval from many many regional powers and from the international policy so it is their luck now and syrian people are paying a price for that they are a big strategy has been to isolate the assad regime from the rest of the world what do you think the consequences of that could be but actually the arab league yes they have managed to isolate syria first in the arab world see the region is via a very very isolated now and it is a sanction imposed on the syrian. by governments. most
2:38 am
of that of countries actually close their embassies in their massacres so could be more actually going to be taken in the coming future and the same thing syria is facing a huge isolation on the international community and you can see maybe they have russian they have. to have their chinese on board but look at about beyond that actually you can see that a team is isolated and sanctioned by the standard of living is there a lot of common it is a market available for the people. the local currency lost more than fifty percent of its value i think this is very very dangerous situation for for the syrian people and also for the syrian government all the signs point to a positive response from assets to kofi annan the u.n. arab league envoy proposals which of course included an immediate by lateral cease
2:39 am
fire safe passage for humanitarian aid these kinds of things what kind of dialogue do you think that is ready for actually. was bolstered by a coffee mission because kofi annan said you know we should be only political solutions to the conflict in syria and also he said we can reach the political side . they should be at their little between the opposition groups and that's actually what i said i would like to see because he was scared of military intervention there will be a political solution it means it means you know that he will stay there and back and i said will the president of syria because the. opposition this is a recognition very deep and you know they're all sort. of his reforms in a way or another actually more pressure for more and forms and that's why. they're
2:40 am
coughing and i wish them the second thing also you know he accepted that these kind of the five points which actually the outcome of their talks between. the syrian foreign minister and the arab foreign ministers when they made it was very very important simply because for the first time the arab league admitted there should be a ceasefire between all sides this is a. coupes which. i refer to all but i'm saying look around five armed groups and not five hundred people so i think that's why i said now more relaxed after the mission of coffee and also after about five points. of the arab league foreign ministers. and foreign minister is that the way forward there i mean the opposition is so fragmented and seems very are willing to enter into negotiations despite its relatively successful mission. there to the position where
2:41 am
when we started to see cracks in the syrian national council recently the prominent leaders actually defected there were very fierce and bit of criticism of the leader of the syrian national council saying that he is exactly like. the. so i will be extremely happy with this defections he will be extremely happy with their divisions on the opposition's and there because you know the opposition is supposed to present itself as i'll turn. when you have these seven factions now and they are working without any chord between each other so this definitely will give their. chance to breathe again and to consulate the. more and more on the syrian people does fall do you think that will make it easier for western superpowers to deal with iran well actually i think it is i have
2:42 am
a feeling that. you cannot isolate syria from. the full definitely it will be easier for the west going to have been around because it means they managed to secure the front because the israeli nuclear allies you know tens of thousands of syrian messiahs syrian war please which actually part but to speak in any war against iran so. in order to do that you have to invade syria and syria is very very complicated adventure could be very costly i have a feeling about that. in syria because they are going to determine what they are going to do with their nuclear programs are they going to bomb iran if they have decided to bomb i think they will bomb and seated together and hezbollah i think they will launch a package war i believe. the war will take place the
2:43 am
question is when that's the year i believe. that america and i believe there will be a war but you know that the differences of all the timing of this war could be you know either before the american. or after that the israeli want to be for the americans as a channel that american would like to wait until. so they finish this election so who is going to win i don't know what it is it's very very good of the week and so we have to wait and see and i believe that's why the west is actually now calling their pressure on the table to do i believe that's why actually the west is we think you know not intervening by military means in syria because they are waiting to decide what they are going to do with any question. thank you very much.
