syria crisis is no exception. we have elevated our focus on the discourage of gender-based violence and worked to provide assistance both inside and in the camps. the single greatest factor limiting assistance remains the on going and intensifying conflict. the u.n. estimates 2.5 million people in need haven't received help in almost a year and the regime is actively blockaded those areas. this lays down clear markers for syrian regime regarding the world's expectations that it will enable long denied humanitarian access. we're encouraged that russia and china supported this agreement and we must now see that support translated into meaningful pressure. a quick word on the neighboring countries. we are working to combine our development and humanitarian resources so that we're providing help not just for the refugees, but the host communities that are buckling under the strain of this influx of refugees. we're working with closely with the international humanitarian donor community to make those resources count fo

syria you don't. the guy with. no we have never supplied weapons or military personnel to syria. what we have done is we have sent a lot of humanitarian aid to syria over the past couple of years. we have been helping the people of syria together with the syrian red crescent and authorized volunteers distributing aid in various parts of syria. we even know that some of this aid ended up in the hands of the free syrian army. we have made dozens of flights and we have sent tens of thousands of trucks with humanitarian aid to syria. we had twelve planes delivering humanitarian aid from iran to syria. and americans forced them to land in iraq in order to inspect their cargo. that they did not find anything except for medical supplies and humanitarian aid if we will continue to support the people in syria even though we ourselves face international sanctions. with think it is our humanitarian and islamic d.t. maybe but we have never sent any competence to syria. as a certain point when it became clear that

we don't know what is going to happen to syria. we don't know if syria will hold. we know syria is broken into these different parts. we do know that historically syria was, it has the sunni cities and damascus, it had the alawite coast and druid area in the southeast and kurdish part in the northeast, so in a way, syria itself is being tested and the proposition is being tested whether syria could hold together. one note on, i am very sympathetic to what david ignatius says that we can't really solve the sunni shia schism, the sunni shia schism dates back to karbala, it is not calling on the united states to solve that crisis but the united states has to have a syria policy that worked, but this idea that is threatening bashar al-assad with a red line, threatening with the bombing that never came and then turning to the russians and to the iranians, and we now have a proposition by the united states that we want iran to be party to the negotiations over syria. how you could ask iranians, whose revolutionary guard is a hezbollah proxy in killing syrians that we inv

they speak several times a week on syria. the russians share an interest with us in syria about not having that country become a ace extremism. basis of concerned about the country, were assad to leave, becoming totally an anarchichal place, and talk about needing a manage transition. you cannot have that until the opposition is forward proposals that the russians and the others can look at, senator. otherwise we are in an absurd chicken and egg situation. i've been talking extensively to the opposition about putting some things on the table that the russians and the rest of the international community and, most importantly, other syrian's can look at to say -- >> give us a sense of what that would be that would assuage the syrian people and the russians tonight find this opposition? >> for example,, if assad to go, who would replace him and what would their authorities be? we have talked to russians extensively about what that would be, and we agreed with them that the new transitioning governing body will have the authority

the and tripoli will divide syria then the move towards peace talks on syria between the assad government and rebel held regions could lead to a partition of syria one of the reasons that the rebels do not want to go to geneva two today is because that would be the likely outcome is them recognizing that assad is in half the country and that that doesn't necessarily mean that syria divides into forever but it does lead to a a you know if it does lead to some sort of partition and there are religious lines along which that gets partitioned in a sense the alawite sect maintaining power in the in the south and rebels islamists the north and the the isis al-qaeda wants to unify iraq and the sunni parts of iraq would suddenly parts with syria and so there are a lot of forces on the ground and you know america may not step in and prevent this sort of thing if it moves forward so we don't know how this is going to turn out in the end. ok andy jump in because all that or can i just center go ahead charlie this is do you think highly and. i think charlie i think that libya is an unknown but as far

maliki says is a rise in violence in syria. he's trying to convince the administration to step up their support to help them fight terrorism in iraq is having trouble convincing them. congress takes a harder line on iraq than obama sent a let tore the u.s. president asking him to be tougher on maliki. in it, they say they blame the maliki government for the rise of violence in iraq. the letter says that maliki per sues the sectarian and authority tarne agenda which strengthens them. senator mccain one of six republicans who signed the letter says that washington's assistance to iraq should be tied to a new more developed strategy in iraq. so experts know that maliki will face many challenges in trying to convince both the administration and congress to as he said in his speech make a fresh start in a complicated relationship with the u.s. in his meeting with president obama at the white house tomorrow is only one step forward on a very bumpy road. >> and the international chemical weapons watchdog group responsible for overseai

ok joseph going to switch gears here to talk about syria right now the. syrian national coalition has dropped its demand that assad must go how significant is that for you because for most of the if not all of the major opposition groups having assad go it's always been their key point to the point of just being abstinent in dealing with the peace plan that the russians and the americans of it least tried to at least russia has pushed very hard for you see an evolution joseph in this situation in syria when it comes to the opposition or is this this national coalition group just so we relevant now because of the rise of the fundamentalists there i would not i don't think that it is really significant the s.n.c. the syrian national coalition is not important never been reported by the way the forces on the ground the ones which matter and the situation in syria is not getting better it's getting worse all the time i mean just in the last forty eight seventy two hours there were all kinds of clashes and losses to both sides one of the big labor leaders was

saudi arabia has been traveling to hardy's into syria a long time before. into the picture saudi arabia has suppressed the operating in bahrain it has funded the muslim brigades who today launched the strike the bomb attack on the iranian embassy have also launched attacks on israel seems to be rain around has been on the ground in syria what. anyone would realize if you were a russian weapons or who's been nonstop showing there are so. many more interesting out of countries and interested in going into iraq are you ok gentlemen gentlemen let me jump in here gentlemen let me go jumping in ok here talking over each other ok joseph but what we just heard there talking over each other is this is turned into a proxy war it's very patently clear here these jihadi that are being funneled in through saudi arabia with turkey's help amazing they're going to really regret this one day if not already been funneling all these people foreign nationals into a civil war that everyone wanted to call a revolution and now it's just a proxy war which is taking the lives a lot

been the case could be a bomb to democracy by nato is breaking up and on the verge of a civil war in syria the civil war has ground down into a stalemate partition is the likely outcome it would appear the only winners are the forces backing instability. to cross-talk the evolving middle east i'm joined by my guess people come ready in london he is a writer and a journalist in new york we have michael kelly he is a defense reporter for the business insider and in colombia we cross to joseph he is a middle east expert currently at the university of south carolina or a german cross-talk rules in effect that means you can jump in any time one can people find go to you first in london it's not getting a lot of media coverage and in the west but it looks like libya's is falling into another war a civil war this time on top of that we're told the pentagon wants to train about eight thousand libyans in a nato country so can you explain to me why did nato have to destroy the country and now it has to train its security forces well from american perspective the invasion to the overthrew of gadhafi

was spying on the vatican and the people more on the holy find revelations ahead and in syria an important deadline on chemical weapons was reached weapon inspectors say that the syrian government's chemical weapons have now been destroyed or rendered inoperable coming up we'll look at the latest coming out of syria. and on the internet there is a video of a man calling out senator john mccain he criticized mccain for supporting us to prevention in syria calling for the top politician to be arrested and tried for treason we'll speak with the marine about his actions later in the show. it's thursday october thirty first eight pm in washington d.c. i'm lynn neary david and you're watching our t.v. we begin tonight with the latest revelation to leak regarding the national security agency and italian magazine called an around the is now reporting that the spy agency has targeted the internal communications at the vatican along with the in going and outgoing phone calls a future pope francis' according to the reports the n.s.a. was intercepting calls from in and out of the rome residence where

of syria and it's very much sort of the level of violence in iraq in the past always blamed on syria for jihadists and other groups infiltrate iraqi border before the syrian situation has become like that and now when you have groups from afghanistan or elsewhere we mentioned they squeeze out by u.s. military or other organizations other countries we retreat find these groups they find safe haven in syria where they thrive they can recruit they can be consolidated around the areas where they control and obviously they gain somehow they gain support by various sources money i mean issues and weapons and if we talk about. maliki's visit in contrast to that what he's trying what he stole his argument is give me more arms give me more ammunition give me sophisticated weaponry and i can root out these. terrorists in iraq but as i mentioned earlier the problem of iraq is not only only about terrorism terrorism yes it's rice because the politics is not working politics is broken the. government the maliki government all is done is try to search for allies power try to squeeze the others out

there are two al qaeda groups in syria. there's one we designated as a foreign terrorist organization affiliated with al qaeda and iraq last year, 11 months ago. now in the last, i would say seven months, the islamic state for iraq in lavonte appeared as a separate entity and foreign fighters. to have more syrians but it is connected to al qaeda and to al qaeda's leadership. but at the same time, there is this competing group, the islamic state, with direct ties out of iraq. they are fighting each other in some places in northern syria and also in the northeastern city. in some places, just to make the battlefield even more complic e complicated, there are tactical alliances between elements of the free syrian army and the nusra front against the islamic state. in some places, then, senator, it becomes even more complicated because you have kurdish militias fightsing along other secular militias and it becomes a hodgepodge. i would point out one thing if i may, senator. just in the last month we've started to see some effor

>> well, for a very long time the opposition in syria and the opposition in syria wanted actually to stop the war or involvement of hezbollah in syria and said that hezbollah should withdraw from syria and blame them for the victory that they are gaining in the past few months and they are saying if it wasn't for hezbollah it probably would tumble and al-asaid would not be leader of syria and opposition would claim his position. so hezbollah in their estimate has been a major factor in the war in syria and hezbollah actually declare and very clearly that this is -- it's not only the syrian battle, it's his battle. >> reporter: his battle, yes, and we heard the lebanese minister that came to the site of the explosion and said this is very dangerous for lebanon. what can we expect in the coming days, weeks and months? they are in the syrian war and what can we expect? >> we expect there is a tough road ahead because we know the war in syria is not going to end any time soon and the battlefield will be open for a very -- for a longer period of time because nobody really can settle the s

let's look at syria. no question that iran is the number one backer of syrian government of bashar al-assad, as is hezbollah. that support has been critical to the success the that the regime has had. so that's a key part of it. and that is why iran is essential to the diplomatic process. because there's no diplomacy or any type of tend the war in syria unless you deal with iran. you know, we reported on may 24 in the interview with the iran's u.n. ambassador, iran welcomed georgia geneva 2 initiative, which is the u.s.-russia-u.n. agreement to try to pursue a peace conference on syria. they welcomed it as early as may. if you look at, again, i come back to jeff feldman, what he said in october, he said it's hard for me to imagine a solution in syria that works if iran isn't somehow engaged and involved in this. in one form or another. we are focused on how you implement the geneva action plan from last year, so we would want to make sure that whoever accepts the invitation to participate understands they

everybody says this is related to the conflict in syria. unfortunately, it has been involved in the war. it is the function of the intensifying sectarian warfare inside syria itself. i was not surprised. this is not the first bombing. unfortunately, it is not the last bombing. >> you suggest this might be people associated with syrian rebels taking revenge for hezbollah's activities in syria? >> this is a group that is affiliated with al qaeda. if it is the same group that did that, carrying out this terror attack. obviously this is a function of growing rifts between the sunnis and shias. the announcement was "two sunni heroes carrying out the attack." the sectarian overtones are clear. regardless of conspiracy theories, everybody thinks this is part of the syrian war and it will continue. >> this is the first attack against iranian targets. attack against iranian official government. >> how would you expect iran to respond? >> the official iranian response was interesting. calming the situation. by accusing the israelis when everyone know

i liken syria to a forest fire. the really big ones cannot be >> reporter: yet after the thousands of american troop deaths and billions of dollars spent in iraq before the u.s. pull-out in late 2011. there is some pushback on capitol hill to maliki's requests. in a letter to the president yesterday, mccain and five other senators of both parties urged mr obama to press maliki to formulate a comprehensive political and security strategy that can stabilize the country. high on their list of complaints: iran's influence in iraq, and iran's use of iraqi airspace to transit military assistance into syria to support president bashar assad and his forces. iraq's ambassador to the u.s., lukman faily, says baghdad has told iran it won't tolerate such overflights of weapons. but until promised u.s. fighter jets are delivered next fall, he insists, there is little his country can do. >> we think it's a bit unfair for others to ask us to stop a plane or to stop a plane while we haven't got the capabilities to force down a plan

more or less on the side of iran and the iraq iran war and syria had significant tensions with iraq because they were both competing for the control of the ba'ath party assad is a both its as it were as was the fact that they were allied. and not proper sudanese in the eyes of some of the sunnis was really not that much of a factor the ideological differences between syria and iraq are far greater than any type of similarities assad is a very very secular. secular mind and the entire regime in the entire country was quite secular as you know the relationship was format a moment when the iranians were pushing for spread of fundamentalism and the establishment of a solvent regime throughout the region what pushed them together and what incidentally has sustained that relationship up until this point and we'll see if it's going to survive this is the common do strategic objectives and concerns that and in a bizarre way this is frankly probably the in the longest most durable relationship within the region as a whole certainly the most durable relationship with the iranians have had wit

ok i want to talk about syria in a second because i did not talk about syria in a second here are you going to go if you're going to go back to arms and watching i mean we've this is a very interesting point do you think that the western powers understands the significance of the different the sunni shia divide because again you know you can have western powers interested in security how they define it but you know riyadh looks at things in a very different way they have a very different perspective and it is have to do with their religious faith what is them in that case and it's something that is actively exports will talk about syria in a second i mean is that a collision there that cannot be resolved. i think the only what we need to say is that the saudi regime is actually in trouble the saudi regime isn't going to have the sort of money that it has now to stop. stop a populist uprising taking place so i think that means that what we need to do with ease keep an eye a close eye on what's happening in saudi politics there is still a popular movement going on there now to go direct
