with kofi anon is leading a diplomatic initiative to not just call out certain i can't but shame countriesen supporting syria. russia is in a position where they want to be a leader on the world stage. they can't have this leadership if they are supporting a regime that's mass murdering its own civilians. >> i hate to say this of kofi anon, there was derision when he we want through this exercise and he had a 6-point plan. it fell apart almost overnight. is there any reason to believe assad this time is more credible in his claim or in his pretense should i call it that that he will comport and will satisfy the terms of the non-anon peace plan? >> there isn't reason to believe aassad will change. his father ran with an iron fist. those running his military are looking at him and the international community and deciding for themselves about their future. and the key initiative about the anon plan is to peel them off and weaken assad. we saw this in yemen and in tunisia from a different perspective where the people rose up. >> that's the game right now is the regional pressure, the internati

unrealistic in syria because bashar al assad has the support of the syrian you know russia supports kofi anon so peace talks in fact what they say is they support talks of all parties involved in fact they have said multiple times that they are not taking sides in this conflict they're not supporting the assad regime rather they want dialogue of all parties involved one thing that they do want is for a non to work more actively with the opposition the opposition when representatives came to moscow to meet with law but they said they will not more and with which are all assad and it is believed that these refusals stem from confusing messages from the west so right now what we're waiting on is what will actually come between the talks of kofi annan and president vladimir putin course russia saying that they fully support the kofi annan peace process. constantly following developments and around syria. it's firsthand experience in the. twitter and don't forget to check our facebook page for more analysis and insight into the syrian crisis. while syria dominates the headlines and another metal u

well i think russia and china are both backing the positions taken by kofi anon the arab league and by president assad and you have a number of countries that are still adamantly committed to ignoring those u.n. resolutions it's really a power struggle in which the outcome is not certain one way or the other president assad proposed to kofi annan on several days ago in damascus the name of one of his government ministers who he said could be as personal representative negotiate . with the opposition to transition government i think that's an important concession in step forward the person who has not been publicly named by kofi nine is the minister of reconciliation and he was a close personal friend they studied ophthalmology together in london so it's a viable emissary and i think that the alternative to the enron plan is prolonging civil war lebannon on steroids and nobody benefits from that happening. it's not interested in military action again again again syria yet we're also hearing the same time western powers now segmenting a draft resolution threatening sanctions and possible

divisions between foreign powers will be the focus of today's meeting between international peace envoy kofi anon and president vladimir putin in moscow russia is accusing western nations of not working toward peace in syria and blackmailing moscow to take action against the syrian government thomas joins us live now while the talks do come at a crucial time for syria's violence does get bloodier every day and foreign powers are failing to find common ground on how to end it sean what can we expect from this latest high level meeting. well karen certainly there has been a lot of international tension and exactly how to resolve this conflict again is syria of course the west having one side russia and china on the other side wanting to promote dialogue with of the current administration in syria and that is what kofi annan and president vladimir putin are expected to talk about today now russia says that the west is it not living up to their promises that were agreed on yet in geneva just earlier not too long ago and talk those promises were to promote all sides to lay down arms and to to start di

up the state the president was speaking ahead of talks with the un's international envoy to syria kofi anon who is now in damascus and it continues his mission to bring peace to syria despite admitting that previous efforts have failed or to use more information has more commented on why the international peace offer is haven't succeeded so far u.n. and arab league special envoy to syria has retreated six hours absolutely depends on the old heart has been pulled in this conflict and the syrian crises should be and could only be resolved through doll the claim that the geneva peace initiative just like other international peace plans is a team work and it is absolutely unacceptable and not at all constructive to blame on only one side he has sound that this has been a lot of talks about russia while little is said about nations still sending money and weapons to the syrian rebels kofi annan has mostly been talking about friends of syria group that accused russia and china of supporting the syrian regime and hampering peace process here in syria even threatening that these two nations will pa

them is regime change in damascus they have rejected the initial peace plan that was put forward by kofi anon and the united nations that was in the door of the syrian government by other forces throughout the region by russia as well as china but the backers of the syrian national congress and the syrian so-called free syrian army have opposed any effort aimed at dialogue to bring about a political solution to this crisis what is happening now is that more arms are being shipped to neighboring countries perhaps turkey into syria and we've seen the results of this with the escalation of fighting around the capital of damascus so the emphasis should be on some type of negotiated settlement but the syrian government could not negotiate by itself it has to have the cooperation of the opposition forces to engage in this type of a dialogue to bring about a peaceful resolution to the crisis of the opposition at another demand is what at this meeting they're calling for u.n. intervention to resolve the conflict that would work in reality. well the united nations is already involved in the syrian cri

groups which have refuse all peace plans that have been put forward by the united nations envoy kofi anon coming up in the program cuban leader raul castro said to be a big fan of the russian winter games instead of placing some essential in for three day visit and talks with vladimir putin. hard times in greece a meeting difficult once remembrance too with the economic crisis being blamed for reports of increased racial intolerance a recent human rights group report suggests that police in refusing to give assistance to foreign victims of abuse are often accused of failing to investigate complaints properly jake agrees takes a look at allegations of xenophobia an austerity ravaged greece. all round the country crumbles some parts of greece acing firm foundations take root. in that we want a nationalistic state all of them should go back to where they came from the word of an elected official as unemployment grows hand in hand with extremist sentiments looking for people to blame for their current plight the golden dawn party has proven to be the prime outlet for public anger get that if

when we want to our next topic i guess that we have a lot going on today and so you know so we saw kofi anon meeting with with abbas here and supposedly they came to another agreement for the violence to and i don't think that anybody at the moment really feels too hopeful about that because this is not the first time we've gotten this but then you have hillary clinton saying that assad's did i say abbas earlier that assad's days excuse me and it's odd days are numbered and so what does that mean i mean this is the point where we start comparing it to do we start comparing it to libya at all into what happened to get off well the situation in libya was one where we heard officials say that the days were numbered but one never knew when that day would come and it came and it came very fast and the pressure right now on syria is extraordinary even the russians today announced that they would not be supplying weapons to syria any longer until the situation calms down so the pressure is tightening defections are rising and i think the secretary's remark reflects a belief that over time assad wil
