point russia and china have opposed any type of international pressure in the form of sanctions instead referring to kofi annan six point peace plan and fully supporting that so of course these statements coming from a top u.n. official declaring civil war in syria can be a game changer within the security council in the days ahead you have to remember that ninety day mission three hundred unarmed observers in syria was adopted under the the idea that there would be a ceasefire in syria if there is no ceasefire what is there left for the u.n. observers to be monitoring next month this ninety day mandate for this mission the u.n. syrian mission expires and council members may not be willing to renew this mandate if they feel that the u.n. observers will be in danger if they are in syria which has now been deemed

a civil war. meanwhile u.s. secretary of state hillary clinton is alleging that a new shipment of attack helicopters were routed from russia to syria refused to reveal her sources the pentagon was subsequently put in an awkward position admitting it had no knowledge of any such event clinton also claimed that kofi annan is putting together an international team to ease the syrian leader out of power should include russia on the list even though it's opposed to any idea of foreign sponsored regime change despite these developments many artists are convinced that six point peace plan remains syria's only hope. i think the situation has reached very dangerous proportions and there are civilians that are being killed and today we had some. there were some pictures of heart about massacres were children have been targeted and innocent civilians and i

think however it's not too late i mean i am afraid that perhaps the statement given by the united nations may may be. a desperate call yes but it's not the end of the road there is still a chance to actually have a cease fire to have the plan that has been laid out in the past by kofi annan and implemented to have a ceasefire and go for the political dialogue there is no military solution they cannot be a military solution and in fact what the western powers are calling for. military interference is is in insane initiative it would not lead to any progress in this situation it would only make the situation worse. we're coming up with decorated that u.s. veterans are counting the true cost of battle throwing away the medals they invite in their countries wars to tell you why. spain gets greece by record high borrowing rates after investors failed to be convinced by the help offered to
