from beirut so a sad as promised to crush what he calls the foreign funded terrorist threat and says he will continue democratic reforms is he going about the right way to solve this conflict do you think. well i think today was a big chance to actually reach out to the entire population including the opposition groups and to start negotiating a transition process i think he didn't use the opportunity to its full potential and i think that things are now going to get a lot worse it appears to me that he is now considering a military solution which i would consider from the perspective perspective of beirut to be the worst possible option and if there is a continuation or indeed you say a start of a military pursuit there what's the reaction we get now from not just the arab league but also the u.n. after all some of the opposition a calling now for u.n. intervention. well i think it's not only the u.n. it's obviously also turkey and arab league and the e.u. i think that assad's been holding off ironically if you look at the bloodshed. i don't think the u.n. will stand by idly but i d

political analyst sorry hughes university in beirut well the regime's crackdown on the opposition has apparently continued despite the arab league's observer mission there which as i mentioned a little earlier critics have described as futile isn't it now time to ask the u.n. to intervene. well it seems a bit suspicious to claim that the arab league's mission is is a failure or is futile before actually listening to the arab league give its report before giving the arab league time that it needs to finish and make its observations so right now it seems a little bit political to suggest that the arab league has solution is not working without. waiting to see what happens dialogue is emerging right now people are in cairo meeting to discuss this and the nurse they have time to discuss said they won't know whether or not it's working but then the final mix of myself so sorry to interrupt but surely the government promised to withdraw troops from the streets and stop using force against the civilians out there promise and that was why the monitors were there to oversee that this was emplo

middle east mediator and director of the conflicts forum in beirut thank you for joining us on our team today we are just hearing over the past one and a half minutes that the arab league has just now it decided to extend its observer mission in syria where the opposition has been stepping up calls for foreign intervention saying the violence continues unabated just how critical do you think the situation is at present. when i think this decision is very important because i think it reflects to an extent a growing isolation. which has been the president of the arab league and which is being arguing quite strongly for syria to be taken to the u.n. security council but it think recently isolated i believe in the arab league people all skeptical about the value of doing this and this decision to expand it has quite strategic import because effectively by march the president free of the arab league has to iraq and iraq has a very different view of what's happening in syria to that of the gulf cooperation council so it's a very important element that this will continue and it seems that it's

is here when the soviet union collapsed its most sophisticated refining sector it found itself in beirut ok and we know all kinds of problems that russian beirut of had over energy because russia doesn't have the refineries it was on the other side of the border when that border. was changed twenty years ago though they solve those problems on t.v. you can't just rely on value licensure doesn't make it easy ok we're asking is whether large parts of the former soviet union are in the process of reintegrating it could be political i think that would be the end result and that's less likely economically culturally as nicholai said we've left out one thing just briefly mentioned there are a lot of intermarriage among these people and there are children who don't want to belong to just one they want to belong to several and the whole business of getting passports and visas to visit to visit grandparents is ridiculous because these barriers are being taken i disagree with a couple things nicole i thought or maybe you said you didn't think there'd be any instant benefits russia can offer an imm

the same homage marandi who's a professor at the university of tehran and now joins us live from beirut thanks for being with both how significant could the outcome of this i.e. mission be and to what extent it might influence the situation surrounding iran's nuclear program. the iranians basically are trying to show again to the international community. the nuclear program unease in iran is peaceful and of course when when i say the international community i mean that i mean the non-western world because usually the west considers itself to be international community on its own. the reality though is that. the i.a.e.a. currently has full time monitors in iran in this is something that we rarely hear in the western media and we have cameras in all of iran's installations so therefore there is absolutely no evidence whatsoever that iran's nuclear program is anything but peaceful and a has no evidence on this the iranians are not very optimistic about the i.a.e.a. because it is heavily influenced by western countries it's not a democratic body most of the members on the board are european

let's get some thoughts about more insight from universal peace federation of the mayor salukis in beirut for us thanks for taking the time to be with r.t. just mentioned the later bit of news arab league observers although they've only been in syria less than a week now being advised may be to pull out how is that likely to affect what they're doing. well it will affect what they're doing eventually i mean hardly enough that they should withdraw but in case i mean the arab league official arab league executives and top it chairman say not be allowed to be will ask them to withdraw i mean officially from syria but up till now i would advise that no intervention shall be occupied by any regional state or any international power that affect the monitoring crosses by those independent supposedly observers being appointed by the arab league themselves now the situation inside syria yes the curry of the railway was going to say you said supposedly there was going to pick up on that supposedly independent hearing criticism in the they are biased do you think they're biased the observers. i beli

our correspondent, jim muir, following developments for us from beirut. he joins us live from our bureau there. jim, has this mission been a success, do we think? >> well, obviously, there are different readings. some of the observers have jumped ship during the process over the last few weeks obviously don't think so. the chinese have commented very favorably on it. the syrian opposition believe it's been a bit of a farce, with them being basically led by the nose and having the wool pulled over their eyes, mixed metaphors there. so, as i said, depends which side of the fence you're on. but the key thing will be what exactly the commander of the force on the ground -- i say force, i mean, the observer deployment, actually reports back to the arab league. and that will be considered on saturday, and they will draw the relevant conclusions. they may belief that their presence on the ground has helped to ease some of the violence. a very troubled town over near the border with lebanon, syrian troops are reported to have pulled back from the town, leaving it

let's now talk to political analyst and journalist dr omar and he joins us live on the line from beirut thanks for being with us these moves by the syrian government seem to be a significant breakthrough but opposition forces deny any steps forward have actually been made where do you think the troops the truth might lie. well first let us wait for the report of the observers the arab observers that have been. sent to syria from the arab league in cairo have been working for the past week and there are additional numbers of observers entering syria they are under a lot of pressure apparently there are some american pressure there are pressures by some arab countries that are pro-american on the observers to actually affect the way they will draft their reports these observers the city and officials have been given the or service access to all locations in syria today the observations are visiting the prison in that. they have access to police stations they have access to a different localities in the in the different neighborhoods where there was a lot of tension there were some leaks n

dr hisham jaber from the beirut based center for middle east studies much appreciated. thank you let's take a look at syria now the latest how the violence that began in march has spilled over into the new year arab league observers on a mission to the country of war damascus against cracking down on protesters at least thirteen reportedly killed in the last day despite the league's efforts to oversee the implementation of that peace plan this comes as two of syria's leading opposition group signed a unification deal that also rules out any foreign intervention beyond our above when it's estimated that more than five thousand civilians were killed in syria this last year but that figure can't be verified because damascus has restricted access to foreign media. policy adviser focus hodgson believes the arab league mission to make some sense of what's really happening. but is that they're being vocal about it we can assume that they are closer to the action and more understanding of it so. they are better situated to assess it in other international law is. not perfect bu
