and i quote overstepping the mark and it's just plain bad diplomacy now russia does it to support kofi annan peace plan they do not support however the forcing of regime change with bashar al assad is saying that bashar al assad the president actually supports enjoys the support of a majority of the people in his country so trying to force him out just would not be a legitimate move and that is something that russia says the west is trying to force through using the u.n. as a backdrop for that however russia does want kofi annan to work more closely with the opposition saying that syria has actually the government put forward a representative to work with the opposition it to promote dialogue with the opposition but the opposition. even coming here to moscow has said that is something that they are not willing to do they only want bashar al assad out so today the president vladimir putin expected to try and work through these sticking points to come to some sort of resolution rochelle hoping to back that peace plan. all right while we certainly will be bringing updates to you live as t

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

sanctions among other things against the syrian government if the government does not comply with kofi annan six point peace plan what's missing according to us for. reported is that the draft proposed by western countries does not indicate any consequences for the opposition if they do not comply with the peace plan so while kofi annan is asking for the security council to adopt with one voice you still have a huge division taking place within the united nations and of course this is this is coming more than sixteen months after this crisis began in syria syria's main opposition alliance has failed to persuade russia to hold the president assad during talks and most of the syrian national council insisted asuna must go before they can be any transition which russia doesn't agree with and some analysts believe the opposition isn't really interested in mediation. the only thing that the opposition wants at this point in alliance with the western countries and the countries in the gulf that are backing them is regime change in damascus they have rejected the initial peace plan that was p

it certainly is a very tricky agenda for kofi annan right now as a situation in syria is degrading as a time of progress isn't forward in fact let's just take the situation just at the beginning of this month where syrian rebels met with sergey lavrov here in moscow and at that time they said they were not willing to deal with president bashar al assad since then they have launched what they are calling operation the damascus of volcano and earthquakes of syria the stated goal of that operation is to bring in syria and i'm quoting here bring syria into a state of complete and total civil disobedience now of course this puts kofi annan in a very difficult situation he is charged with finding a peaceful solution to the conflict there on the ground in syria now in doing this he must meet with all sides that means the west china russia and of course the opposition and president bashar al assad russia says that the west is not living up to the geneva agreement that was agreed on just a short time ago and in fact they're using this as an opportunity to impose sanctions and possibly even mil

they're blaming this on kofi ann annan. it's giving the government more time to carry out this crackdown that's been going on. yesterday we saw and heard of many rallies throughout syria. we saw a lot of amateur video showing thousands of people in different parts of syria marching in the streets, not only in solidarity with the victims of that massacre in tremseh, but also expressing outrage at kofi annan and the u.n. and calling for the removal of kofi annan as the envoy to syria, randi. >> and what about the stockpile? the chemical weapons stockpile. how much concern is there that the government is moving this? >> reporter: well, we heard from a u.s. official yesterday, randi, that the u.s. now believes that some chemical weapons in syria have been moved. but the official that spoke to cnn said they're not sure if it was moved in order to protect the chemical weapons because of the fighting that's going on in syria to make sure nothing happens to it, or more ominously, was it moved in order to try to use it against some

all saud regime that was in the delegates words but this statement of course comes on the heels of kofi on a visit to tehran in hopes of convincing the islamic republic to lend some say to try to use some of its influence to sort of up quell the violence there but again with this kind of really tough rhetoric against the head of the talks it's really difficult to see how these groups are going to look at iran as a sort of influential ally in any sort of potential peace negotiations. you see coming over that wolf i'm going now. washington and edward spend elsie's the law editor of the executive intelligence review news magazine well the syrian opposition said today they hope the moscow will help to bring about a change in the current regime how can they really expect that considering moskos always stressed that it will not take sides in this conflict well i i don't think they can expect that russia and president putin have been very firm. that they are not going to participate in regime change and overthrowing president assad has been very important that president putin has done this tha
