almost daily many international media outlets want to put the blame entirely on assad the government of any country is of course responsible for what is happening in that country it's not the regime is not solely to blame we see massacres in houla as terrorist attacks in damascus and aleppo that have been condemned by the u.n. security council all of this is a result of confrontations that are receiving more and more outside support firstly moral support for the so-called armed opposition then funding weapons and bringing militants from neighboring countries into syria. in terms of what the next step could be for syria where russia features in that circle of rob saying that he wants to see a international conference held to discuss what the international community can do to try and sort things out in the arab state this conference would see the united states the european union as well as the permanent members of the the u.n.

place but you have to resist that need to impose to want to try me into other countries so far in conflicts and to say we can just step in and make things better in many situations and this would be the case in syria western intervention would intensify the conflicts and potentially make it far worse than it is now it's always important to bear that in mind when thinking about you know how best to intervene in these conflicts often the best intervention is not to intervene at school or stay with us here on r t still to come in a few minutes anonymous have to this stage protests across india against internet censorship. but first a new russian law to regulate demonstrations will see illegal protesters facing fines of up to seven thousand euros or perform up to two hundred hours of community service president putin said the new laws in line with european standards meanwhile
