positive results really out of the recent negotiations whatsoever well france britain the us say that they go to give more help to the syrian rebels isn't that counterproductive in order this. well this is the usual position basically we have come to some kind of diplomatic resolution of the use of chemical weapons issues but that is far from resolving the domestic conflict between the government and its opposition so obviously the support for the opposition has been the consistent position of the west including of course the united states and its allies and how practical could it be for syria to open up its chemical weapons arsenals in the middle of a civil war is that actually practical or possible that would be the challenge for the moment taishan of the recent agreement between the united states and russia to put first of all chemical weapons under international control and eventually destroy it now that certainly the challenge whether it's practical or not obviously depends on the situation on the ground obviously the cooperation between the syrian government and also opposition
