>> 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

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

syria, and the people in syria, displaced or not, are going into winter. it is going to be very cold. they will need more aide, and we can't reach them. >> reporter: so as hundreds of thousands of syrians continue to leave their country, and those left behind struggle to stay alive and feed their families. this humanitarian crisis appears worse than ever. >>> and anita, turkey of course one of those countries that has taken in as many refugees as it could. how it is coping? >> it is coping, but it doesn't like the situation it is in. health care, enormous pressure on the hospitals, despite what the turks have poured in in terms of resources there. we're seeing a spread of infectious diseases crossing the border, maternal mortality, infant mortality, those sorts of issues. they don't have to stay in the camps, but this is creating social pressures in turkey, especially when you find out as i was told that some are willing to work for 7 usd a day, and that is having a knock on how they are viewed by turks. and you have a whole generation being born and raise

updating us on the dire situation in syria. >> the u.s.-arab league envoy is trying to finalise plans for the peace talks. lakhdar brahimi will meet five members of the security council. the so-called geneva ii is listed for this month. syria's opposition refused to attend the un-backed talks unless bashar al-assad is removed from power. >> the congolese army has been bombarding m23 rebels in the eastern democratic republic of con congo. rebel fighters have been pinned to hilltops near the city of goma. we have a report from bunagana, on how civilians are trying to cope. >> every one of these rockets has to be loaded by hand. the government has been firing hundreds at the m23 rebels for days. at this base they prepare for another day on the assault of the remaining rebel conditions. this woman lives nearby. she's used to war, but has never seep the government fight like this >> translation: we had war for 10 years. we have to sleep in the bush, and run for our lives. people die of hunger, we suffer. we'd like the government to take control

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

by syria's civil war. many people now warn of more attacks in the days and weeks to come as syria's war is now also being fought in lebanon. >> so yet another attack in the hezbollah strong hold of southern lebanon. and that was highlight the political and sectarian divide made worse by the war in syria? >> undoubtedly. syria has always been a very divisive issue. for years now the lebanese oppose the syrian government. but the very fact that it is taking on sectarian colors, because it's mainly sunnis in lebanon to support the shiite, so this is what is dangerous. when we managed to speak to the hezbollah leader on-site, he traded to plait down. but it is causing tensions. in the north of lebanon, people there welcome news such as bombings in hezbollah strong holds, and this is why it is very dangerous. people are worried. they fear the security situation is going to deteriorate even further until some sort of political solution is found to the syrian conflict. very important to note the syrian army is ma

as we said before we support the political solution for the countries in syria. and geneva we are or we have a very clear position. we are not talking geneva two, the talks are going to geneva and sitting with the regime and nobody talked to us about who will participate in geneva and i can tell you very clearly that we will not go to geneva if our conditions are not filled and this is the first of many important positions that bashir should leave power and no role in the future and not only him but all people who have a decision in killing people or in destroying the country. and we will not stop fighting for geneva two and we will continue fighting even if there is a geneva meeting. >> reporter: if the political opposition, the syria national coalition which whom you report to, if they do agree to attend geneva two pending their conditions are met, what will you do? will you support that? >> we will support them under our condition, if there is nothing clear as we see now, we will not support any kind of meeting especially as you know the russians are trying no

had been fighting alongside government soldiers in syria. there has been conflicting reports about iran's cultural attache. one suggesting he was killed and another suggesting he was seriously injured. iran's embassy is located in the southern part of the lebanese capitol. the area is known to be a hezbollah strong hold. in a moment we'll get the latest from tehran, but first straight to the report from the site of the explosions. >> we have seen bombings in beirut over recent months but this time it is suicide bombers and this is why officials here have told us it's very hard to prevent such attacks. we have talked to a number of people who witnessed the explosions. they were close by. this is a residential neighborhood. people told us that the first suicide bomber detonated his explosives, and as people rushed to the scene, the second bomber detonated his explosives, and that's why we have such a high casualty toll. there has been reaction from iran, from its local allies in lebanon, the hezbollah shiite group saying we know this is a mess

israel has launched another strike inside syria according to u.s. media reports citing a white house official the target was a military base in the west of the country which stored a missile arsenal apparently destined for hezbollah in lebanon well the israeli military though has refused to confirm or deny that the attack near the port city of latakia even took place but this is not the first time the country's been accused of breaching syria's sovereignty and bombing targets there's been three similar attacks this year in general may and july. refused to confirm them as well and analysts say this will continue to happen as long as a powerful ally is watching israel's back. on the right to it another sovereign nation and israel has done that and if we had a functioning. war. in the korean war this would be condemned and israel would be reprimanded as force would behave like a sovereign nation. but everybody. and the reason that is because the president obama. were to occur otherwise it could not occur. syria may now have destroyed all of its equipme

we are working in iraq, syria. what our work highlighted is the absence of a mechanism in the world and a need to sustain this. the dutch are supporting an initiative to have icmp become an international mekannism. since 2010 we have been working with interpol to try to develop a platform for what we call disaster victim identification so we can respond to disasters. now there is no mechanism in the world. we hoped we'd learn the lesson from the tsunami where the world's police forces came together to try to address missing persons. what needs to hoppen is we can't just respond to cases where rich tourists from western countries went missing. there's a discrepancy between addressing missing persons from rich countries and poor countries. we have to end that. we need a standard capacity available for rich and poor countries. >> how do you operate in a country like syria, where a disaster is unfolding as we speak, or somewhere like iraq, where conflict is ongoing? i think syria is a sad reminder to all of us of our f

i know you have family in syria. what are you hearing from them? >> well, i think right now everybody is bracing for a very cold and long winter. last year international organizations although they did try to address the need in syria, just were not able to do so, and so a lot of syrians right now have been growing their own food, are preserving as much bread as possible, because a lot of these areas even in damascus that has relatively had better conditions than other syrian cities, they just don't know if international organizations are going to be able to bring in food and the aid necessary. many syrians have been under siege. in certain parts it is completely besieged and food has not been able to go in or out, and the international committee for red cross has complained, and as of yet we have not seen too much progress from the syrian government to make sure that humanitarian needs of the syrian people is addressed. >> speaking of the syrian government and president assad he has been praised by some for allowing the inspectors in -- [ technica
