10:05 am
region let's now talk to emotion malas islamic and middle east expert from the hebrew university mr miles welcome to our very nice to see you here so looks like the syrian opposition has a new enemy apart from the assad regime so how does this rise of al qaeda linked extremists affect the whole the whole situation in syria. well it certainly changes situational because visibility is the mainstream will position in syria much more war radically and frightening in seconds as they have in common enemy al ball sunni and shia because they certainly both of them and they also have a give. bashar assad the argument that if you don't want me if you don't want to talk to this satan that you know you'll get silicate in
10:06 am
a sense they played to his hands because they didn't see this you will tentative to use secular and sick you and there is a balance. and he has the chances with the support of iran and of russia in geneva in this week's time maybe do we need the support of the international community right as we now it's called the islamic state of iraq and livan to and this group is urging its fighters to attack other rebel groups in syria but in the past as i remember they they both used to find against the assad regime what do they want now. this student wanted and in certain states are two groups one is. the support group and the other one which is stronger of a islamic state of iraq and syria mostly lives on syria's sham some is greater syria to be precise and they won't keep to topple the regime and to establish
10:07 am
a sharia state a caliphate all over syria and you know this is a game and this is as i said earlier is a social concern two balls a loose sunni muslims and sunni shia so that the common enemy of everybody and it's very very strange with the kit that milledge to gain strength and the question is who supposedly in my answer is the individual arab rich arab. people who support roles in the gulf in saudi arabia others support the but not the governments and they don't have a sponsor so like a of his allies sponsored by by iran they don't is also so in a sense that are dangerous but they're also easy prey for those who would like to it takes a lot. and what about the u.s. role in the region because it seems to be acting differently in iraq and syria.
10:08 am
i mean to me that is so far the they support the regime of the democratic regimes issue that they helped establish a sect after they should topple saddam hussein in syria they supported initially they supported the rebel groups the mainstream lot sufficiently in this uprising live with a heavy weapons one that you'll. dispatch the promise of obama to bomb subject position in syria because of the use of chemical weapons. this was rich with russian intervention is stopped them from doing the eight and in fact it's good because i can see it is a double standard because is it ok to keep together keeping people work with. bullets and. missiles rather than chemical weapons for the wars to be going on in the united states gave up. illogical greater interest.

and a flush. ride more islamic and middle east expert from the hebrew university of mr miles thank you very much indeed time. suicide bombing has killed at least twenty three soldiers as a military recruitment center in balad donned that is believed to be in retaliation to government attempts to push al qaeda fighters from polluter the u.s. is weighing in offering help along with iran which says it's ready to send military equipment there are she's going to check on looks at tehran and washington finding themselves on the same side of the conflict. because of politics of the last few decades you think about the u.s. and iran as enemies that don't have anything in common but they do and it's fight against terror for one the kind of terror that is now so rapidly metastasizing in syria and in your book radical sunni militants are gaining food hold in iraq's own
10:10 am
bar province and the iraqi government is struggling to drive them out now for americans who had heard the term state sponsor of terrorism so many times used to find iran this whole setting sounds unusual and u.s. secretary of state john kerry saying that iran might play a role of the peace talks on syria also sounds unusual among the audience that is so used to the hostile rhetoric although on syria both washington and tehran say they want to stop the spillover of terror iran does not share washington for regime change in syria so still lots of differences but we see some early indications that common interest could be slowly coming to the forefront after years on the back burner. meanwhile a fresh u.n. resolution syria is seeking to condemn that assad government has failed the statement drafted by the u.k. expressed outrage and asked trikes on aleppo which had been carried out since last
