thanks for coming on our team today good to see you now the u.n. finally appears to have a more unified stance over syria but do you think this could soon. unravel with the u.s. and its allies backing the rebels us some might say that seems a bit one sided very much so really think you know let's just contrast this new u.n. statement with a u.n. resolution that american its allies aggressively try to push through in a month or so ago that really was a regime change resolution and it's very interesting to see the shift has come from the west and i don't think you can excite the importance of this what's happened is that the plan very clearly was a regime change in damascus the rest was patently false the plan was was to drive forward for intervention and it didn't succeed cracks to russia and china so now the west should be checked i think and this new. resolution is good news i think around what are some experts saying that president assad's agreement with kofi annan peace plan could actually help to keep him in power at least for some time but wha
