that happened on syria just over a week ago as we've been reporting here donald trump and president mccrum and he's in the u.s. on a state visit at the moment if there's one thing the bonding over right now it's a mutual loathing of president assad in the light of those strikes a week ago does that concern you. it does because i think before then the u.s. has been talking about withdrawing from syria and i've been very relieved by that because the great problem with syria is that it's being inflicted affected by proxy wars and the more nations such as britain and the united states and others can remove themselves in this proxy wars the more likely it is that the syrian people can decide their own future so i've just heard what you've said and i think it is deeply worrying and our bottom line position and our report is please maybe lead the syrian people the freedom to decide their own future and to most of our and i skulked none of us for joining us on how to really appreciate your thoughts thank you very much thank you. next very real people and very real views but not according to u.k. g
