that spidey syrian opposition to -- by the syrian opposition to speak for the syrians who want change in syria. from the name the coalition , itself is made up of several groups. some of them are political groups with a long history like the muslim brotherhood, others like the damascus declaration movement, and another is a homegrown movement in 2005 and 2008 and most of those individuals were arrested, spent years in prison and many had to leave the country after the revolution. and there were individual activists like myself. i think we decided to have a better connection with the inside as the situation was developing in syria. so we included groups like the local council that was created shortly before they were trying to provide services and governance to those liberated areas. the coalition went through now the second and third phase. it had the first president, a very charismatic figure who served these first-term. the second president was elected last summer. and we went to an expansion of the coalition. the idea of the coalition was supposed to be a kind of legislative body t

activistith a syrian who helped found a women's initiative called syrian kitchen.he members meet discreetly in an out-of-the-way house. they are careful not to attract too much attention because many still have family in syria. in the kitchen, the women bake and cook syrian specialties. the refugees would like to set up a catering service for jordanian clients. they say they are ready to start new lives. they should feel as though they are members of society. they do not want to just wait for help to be given to them. the syrian kitchen project helps the women. they realize the work they do is worthwhile. we have had a great response, especially from our customers. >> the project is still in the early stages. the women already have a few jordanian customers. they rely on word-of-mouth. everyone here is worried about the future and their families back in syria. that is another reason they do not want their faces shown. >> my relatives are spread all over. in egypt, turkey, lebanon, and here. my family is torn apart. it is unbelievable bashar al- assad is still in po

syrians like to work. jordanians are often not hard workers, but syrians are efficient and reliable. young syrian worked as a mechanic before coming to jordan. here, evened though he does not have a work permit. not everyone would allow it, he says. on, and is took me have a job, even though it is against the law. ammanung man's journey to was not easy. he spent months living in a refugee camp near the northern border. a relative had to pay for him to be released. now he's finally found work. it's the same story for many refugees coming to jordan dean's coming to the camps. we travel there to meet some of them. around 100,000 people live here in the middle of the desert. for more than a year, this u.n. run refugee camp has been the first destination for syria ns across the border. >> hello! >> in the middle of the camp is a bakery. ibrahim and his family fled here a year ago. they owned a bakery back in syria. arrived there was nothing but preprepared food here, he says. there was no bread, nothing to buy.

before the syrians came. the government has to find the solution. >> reporter: lebanon is a casualty of the war in neighboring syria, and it's people are just as much victims as the syrians themselves. >> and not hard to understand, lebanese are getting weary of the syrian problem. and andrew is there, and i did the numbers, and we're talking about adding 60 million people, if it were the u.s., to the population here. >> reporter: well, the position here, i cannot hear you very well, but the position here is dire. let me just give you -- >> and andrew, unfortunately, we're not hearing you well either. do we have andrew's package? not anymore. sit down and give them all of your lies. a lebanese taxi driver tells this woman, who says that she suffered out right hostility. >> when we come here, they insult us. isn't it enough that someone told me that we deserve worse than chemical weapons? >> reporter: near the syrian border another queue, a sign of how desperate the conflict has become. it's the end of the hol

of the back and forth points was exactly what the syrian have.e think that the russians and americans came to an agreement of what they have and more or less where it was. how important is that declaration or that assessment going forward? >> well, it's going to be extremely important. right now the inspectors have arrived in damascus, and part of the mission they have to undertake and certify that those declarations are correct. obviously they will still need further details. so that's why they're going to sit together now, this whole week with syrian authorities to get the fine details completely done, completely in order. but for all the sites, they need, for example, gps coordinates to know exactly where they are. how much there is going to be and so forth. as my colleague in norway has said, we need to know exactly what the competition of th compe agents and the agents and its precursors. >> the syrians have suggested much of their chemical weapons arsenals are in the precursor stage, and as you have said that will make it much easier to des

then there is the main group, the syrian national coalition, supported by the syrian military council syrian army, and a network of grass works activists. some but not all want toot tend geneva two. the syrian national council has threatened to quit the coalition if it takes part in the talks. and then of course there is the armed opposition. the free syrian army remains the largest group, but there could be as many as a thousand others with between 70 and 100,000 fighters between them. and they too aren't very united many are opposed to each other. al jazeera has seen the text of a speech by the syrian national coalition president who is at the london meeting. he says the opposition will not attend the proposed peace talks unless the aim of the meeting is to remove president assad. they say they risk losing credibility if they go to geneva without its main goal in mind. joining us now is a member of the syrian national council what do you make of what he said? >> i think it sets the minimum for the consensus of the opposition. a few days ago he made the statement, and he said it was

by the serious that spidey syrian opposition to -- by the syrian opposition to speak for the syrians who want change in syria. is made upon itself of several groups. some of them are political groups with for a long history like the muslim brotherhood, others like the damascus declaration movement, and another is a homegrown movement in 2005 and 2008 and most of those individuals were arrested, spent years in prison and many had to leave the country after the revolution. and there were individual activists like myself. i think we decided to have a better connection with the inside as the situation was developing in syria. so we included groups like the createduncil that was shortly before they were trying to provide services and governance to those liberated areas. the coalition went through now the second and third phase. , ahad the first president very charismatic figure who served these first-term. the second president was elected last summer. and we went to an expansion of the coalition. the idea of the coalition was supposed to be a kind of legislative body that could create an

even before the syrians came.he problem is for the government to find solutions. >> reporter: lebanon's people are just as much victims as the syrians themselves. to talk more about this, we are joined by sammy who has done a lot of research. how the lebanese economy been effected by this influx of syrians. >> sure it has affected the economy tremendously. the level of insecurity has effected the consumer confidence, we know that it [ inaudible ] has dropped by almost 37%. based on the consumer confidence index. and affected demand for investments, private investments, which means there are fewer people actually be employed as a result of this. construction permits, and production has all declined in the country. >> reporter: what can the lebanese government do? it says it needs to protect its people as well as help the syrians. >> first we need a strong government. and it has to have a plan to deal with the ramifications of the dislocation in the labor market as a result of the syrians. >> reporter: it is fair to

most of this was a byproduct of the syrian army and the syrian state.they were supporting the idea of a revolution and the democratic inclusive syria. there was a missed opportunity in the revolution. the international community did not step up their support of the moderate force. this created a vacuum in which we started to see inflow of extremists. they came from neighboring countries and everywhere. if you remember, last year, one year ago, there were not many extremists. now, they are growing in number. that has to do with the perception that the international community is not supportive of the moderates. it is unbelievable. the regime escalated oppression from artillery to tanks to scud missiles to air force. they attracted young syrians. now we have new groups. they are close to al qaeda. the good news about what is happening is that local communities are turning against these extremists. they are trying to impose their vision on communities. the threat is very serious and we take it very seriously. this is why we believe two things can stop this

reports now from the syrian capital. a car bomb has exploded in a rebel held north western town in the province of which is not far from the syrian turkish border from the reports we have it seems that as many as twenty people have been killed and dozens more wounded the explosion happened at a busy marketplace this is the same province where on sunday seven red cross workers were ducted while they were traveling they were shot at by gunmen and taken to a named location all of this coming just hours after two massive car bombs exploded here in the heart of the syrian capital on sunday night they took place in front of the syrian state t.v. building and not far from the hotel where foreign experts who are investigating and overseeing the destruction of syria's chemical weapons stockpiles are staying a short time ago the head of their team criticized the opposition for not allowing them access to some of the sites where rebels have control now there has been a number of warnings posted online by rebel fighters that they wo

early -- were mostly the by-product of the syrian army. the syrian state. and so there were very much, again, supporting the idea of the revolution of a democratic. i think there was always a, you know, missed opportunity for the syrian revolution. the international community, especially did not step up their support of that modern force. and that is created a jobbing yum in which we started to see the inflow of extremists. they came from neighboring countries. they came from everywhere. and if you remember, again, last year, last -- a year ago there were a few of those extremists. but now they are growing in number. the reason for that, i think, has to do with the perception among many syrians that the international community has not really been supportive enough of the moderates. the continued brew tamty -- brutality of the regime. which is unbelievable. they played it from artillery to tanks to missiles to air force. and using these barrel bombs that is, you know, from world war ii to bomb civilian areas. that create that kind of extremism. a lot of peop

syrian conflict.a lot of fear, a lot of worry here, the government really not being able to, in fact, there is no government, there is a caretaker government but no government simply because they are arguing over who takes what share and those parties really ally to the different syrian groups in lebanon so no government and of course also due to the syrian crisis. >> very difficult situation for everyone there and thanks so much. and activists reported several air strikes in syria near leppo prison and fighting going on around the facility for three days now and clashes in a village between government forces and rebels and in the damascus suburb government forces are shelling rebel positions and several people have been injured. syrian state television says opposition fighters have killed the military intelligence chief and major general and state television said he was shot by a sniper and he was part of president bashir assad inner circle and under investigation of killing the prime minister. the c

the free syrian army or the syrian syrian national council have said that they would have preferred a military strike against syria instead of having syria peacefully remove its cusses of chemical weapons so these people there are still going on they and they are committing crimes on the ground and trying to sabotage a new prospect for a political solution and the horizon doctor there only if thirty inspectors and intelligence on a storage site is a it is a little bit sketchy at best how do you begin to vary if i the hundred and four thousand tons of chemical weapon weapons with just such a few men power. well the first thing we have to remember is that this mission is being undertaken. a state of war so this is one of the most dangerous missions to be undertaken for this month tellings such unconventional weapons as far as verification goes i think even the united states has the blood through or. carry them the secretary of state john kerry is that this is the syrian regime the syrian state has shown its sincerity and implementing the resolution two thousand one hundred and eighteen

it's supported by the syrian council, the free syrian army and grassroots activists. some, not all, want to attend the geneva ii from the coalition. the syrian national council is a major player within the coalition but threatened to quit if it takes part in the talks. then there's the armed opposition. there could be as many as 1 thus different groups with between 70 and 100,000 fighters. of those, the free syrian army remains the largest group. many, but not all of its members support the syrian national coalition. and, of course, there are quarrelling factions such as the syrian islamic front, the nusra front and others. they agree they want bashar al-assad out, but don't agree on how. here is what some of the inside players told our program. >> translation: we, as all the syrians, are looking for a political solution for what goes on in syria for the last 2.5 years. we think the russian position that supports the regime in syria is one of the problems, the obstacles in syria >> our internal legal documents will not allow any group without a major voting from the g

concerns no criticism about the chain of custody for these samples this time around and i know that syrian officials were accompanying. your team all the way to the hague but i think there is there is a lot of criticism but there garcia the actual methodology that you just mentioned and if i can bring out one particular case i know that in in ghouta your team have to collect environmental samples in two very different areas and was good and in is good and you also collected human samples for all the survivors that the opposition pre-selected for you and as it falls from the report which is now in public domain and none of the environmental samples that your team collected in the west good to tested positive for sarin and yet but you much every human sample that you collected there tested positively how would you explain the inconsistency because it's not that dressed in their report but i'm sure the they asked for its being the professionals that they are would have thought about this discrepancy i think what we always said is that the team of what actually present the facts and i think th

>> the syrian capacity right now is very small.there were to be a use of chemical weapons right now it would be very limited. i think bashar al-assad took a political decision, he took a decision to get rid of this so that he could gain stature in the international community, probably under the advice of the russian government. the russian government, i don't think, would have backed him on this if they didn't think he was going to fully comply. it would not be in bashar al-assad's interest to be seen to be hiding something at this point. nevertheless, these things will have to be investigated. the tough investigations probably are still down the road. and when i say "tough" i mean going to sites which perhaps syria hasn't declared investigating and interviewing people who were perhapsed involved to really verify that they've gotten all the nooks and crannies of the c.w. capacity. but those details shouldn't take away of the significance of what had been done today. seen from the outside, i should point out, if you're a syrian, you

to pull them out and we promised the syrian government at the time that they would go back as quickly as possible which they did they did the report on the east orcus twenty one incident they went back wrote the reports and they basically came back and of course none of us could have anticipated the dramatic development of the agreement between the russian federation and the united states in geneva and so the visit no started under very different premises really than when they went in the first time now you mentioned how difficult it was for your colleagues to work on the ground and i reported extensively from syria actually accompany u.n. inspectors several times on various trips around damascus and to offer serious it is in serious i can certainly understand how physically demanding and psychologically stressful that can be but i also would like our viewers to understand that when we talk about the u.n. investigation what we actually mean is a group of u.n. inspectors driving at any particular side spending there anywhere between two and maybe five to six hours and in that very shor

supporters of the government and opponents of the government indeed our most important partner is the syrian arab red crescent which actually at the present moment is basically the only organization working in the whole of syria we certainly make the best of our efforts together with the saarc to have impartial and independent humanitarian aid coming to all who need it at the same time it's also up for us that we do not get access to all those places who need access so we are the first ones to be frustrated about the fact that the concrete expression of a neutral and impartial your many tyrian aid which does not discriminate is sometimes virtually impossible to realize in the present circumstances in syria but if i could follow up on that if there is a discrimination of what are the main reasons for that discrimination because we often hear the assad government being criticized for starving people to death but i wonder where whether the main reason for that is a political reason or it's just a matter of security a matter of resources or something else well it's definitely the context of the

why turkish - they back the syrian rebels. the third element.ore than 100 female prisoners held by the syrian government to be released. that's a concession. let's try to clear this up with omar al saleh. these women, who are they, why are they being held and when or if - will they be released? >> well, these women are activists in the syrian revolution since it started over 2.5 years ago. some of them were held before the revolution started for blogging or writing anti-regime blogs and posts. so these are what we know about the female prisoners. now, as we speak, david, there is great deal of confusion and conflicting reports. we are not even sure at this stage that the women, the female prisoners are released from damascus. let me give you an idea of what the activists are telling us. a syrian activist close to the northern storm brigade, the brigade that used to hold the lebanese hostages says they were expecting at some stage last night to release a statement to the world to say what happened. according to that activist, about 126 female pri
