11:03 am
a foreign intervention of course this is something that many people are increasingly concerned about for paula that's a shift our attention now and focusing on what exactly is happening inside syria at the moment what's the current latest situation. well the situation in syria after eighteen months of fighting is showing no letting up there continues to be almost daily blasts in the capital city of damascus and they're particularly cost suicide bombings have become almost the norm the same situation is happening in aleppo the commercial hub of the country in the north and they we're hearing of continuous heavy fighting and also in recent days and in recent weeks we've witnessed a rise in class suicide bombings there were also receiving a twitter feed from the share adnan out of dar now he is a sunni muslim preacher and the salafist media has become almost a symbol of the rebels fighting in syria he says that they have captured the cousin of the syrian president bashar assad we have no information on that at this stage
11:04 am
and no way of actually being able to independently prove it but certainly that is a twitter feed that we are following closely now russia continues to play a mediating role they are expecting that the e.u. in nato envoy to syria could be in russia later this month and as such will be there for talks but russia is edging calm and saying that this kind of this collation intentions along the turkish syrian border is completely unacceptable in any kind of cross border operations to be frowned upon or are the authors of policy there with the latest on this breaking news thank you. well meantime michael maloof for you former pentagon official says the shelling could indeed be a false flag effort to incite the intervention that syria's opposition has long been calling for. you've got opposition forces there there and they they are desperate they are low on ammunition there and i think they would love to have
11:05 am
turkey get into the you get into the fight they're moving they've moved their headquarters from turkey into to syria and that's going to set up a logistical problem for them in coordination with forces inside of turkey to bring in more ammunition and and logistics to back them up but what would be an easier way then to set up a situation where where you bring turkey into the into the fight and in order to provide that kind of assistance that they need i don't rule that out. and the solace working there in that in that region there they're very very good at that kind of set up. now above crane is keeping up its crackdown on progress protests causing more fierce clashes between police and demonstrators on friday tear gas and water cannons were used to disperse crowds and the violence started at

11:07 am
is doing is they're essentially creating what some people have termed infomercials for dictators and that's this sponsored content that they're airing on c.n.n. international that's actually being paid for by regimes and governments and this is by late every principle of journalistic ethics because we're supposed to be watchdogs on these governments we're not supposed to allow them to be paying customers who are able to kind of dodge our minders and sneak into some of the villages and actually see these atrocities patients who run out of the hospitals that were shot up with birdshot and as we were heading back out of these villages we were violently detained by security forces and praying and luckily my female producer and i were able to hide some disks in our broad them were able to actually get out of the country with this content so you can imagine surprise when we got back to the u.s. and this content was airing on c.n.n. and right after that is when the phone calls started coming into the network complaining about me and trying to get my coverage off the air.
