and i think staffan de mistura hasn't got a plan frankly at this stage. his plan is to listen.lan is to spend the next couple months pulling everybody who are parties to this conflict one by one, into a room and actually listen to them to find out what the main grievance is and what the main negotiating points are. he is saying these are one to one low-key consultation and saying this is not some kind of geneva three but said geneva three might result from work he is under taking from today and he is pains at saying and you heard it in the clip we played and accepts the possibility of success may be low but despite the odds being against him he has a duty to try, he and his team. he said the deaths that are taking place and exodus and refugees means he really has no options, u.n. has no option but to try to find some way of ending the conflict that torn the country apart and intends to take the next couple of months with an arbitrary deadline at the end of june to try to make it happen and he said if there is some sign of progress possible that it could go on past june if there

but what staffan de mistura is saying he has essentially a duty to try regardless of the prospects ofss at the end of it. he is recall saying this is not geneva three and emphasized that and he said that basically has nothing changed since february of last year when geneva two broke down, is it really the state there is no common ground or no points for negotiation, he is now going to ask all the different parties to this conflict whether the situation has changed sufficiently for them to come to the table at some point. the format of the talks will be very specific and one to one talks between staffan de mistura and individual parties, individual bodies and there are a lot of them. he said there will be some 40 sierran groups some 20 regional and international actors he said he wanted as broad a spectrum as possible and the process although it will start later today could continue to the end of june in his estimation and perhaps even beyond that date. >> what are the repercussions of amnesty international report about the atrocities committed by both sides in aleppo? >> reporter: wel
