if nothing has worked so one of their options to keep doing what they've been doing already replied the rebels with more weapons and actually intervening sending troops across the border pretext either they want to create a humanitarian corridor or something else that you're really going to mention the humanitarian crisis which of course the friends of syria have very much kind of developed over the last eighteen months or they could question probably another reason for sending troops across the border into syria the heavy shooting here has got to be done by united states by turkey and by other members of the collective calling itself the friends of syria. coming up when i'll see the fallout from the word of a nation. remaining fear escalating threats from the country's new leadership as a car is racial but these are all solid. keeping the internet safe and free but is it really possible to a true but with us to go to. washington says it has visibility inside iran's nuclear program confident it will know if iran moves
