meetingut kofi annan with al-assad today? >> kofi annan by his own emission has tendered a failed peace plan and apparently he has reached some agreement with bashar al-assad on a political solution, but they have not communicated what that is. what i do know is there is a lot of talk of a peaceful transition and there is some talk about power-sharing. i can tell you the power sharing scenario is most likely totally unacceptable to the syrian street. any sort of dialogue with the regime is tantamount to negotiating with once executioner. i believe that is entirely unacceptable. >> what have you heard about the latest news of security forces shelling parts including damascus, reports of more than 100 people killed, mainly civilians? >> yes, this happens every day. this is part of what we wake up to, go to sleep with. the daily killings are routine for the al-assad regime. you name a city, it is either been shelved or the people who are going out and demonstrations are being shot at. this is daily. >> so right now in terms of t
