Mr Haithem al-Maleh, you have heard these statements.

00:00:04.588 --> 00:00:07.969
To talk politics is to discuss benefits and advantages.

00:00:07.969 --> 00:00:18.072
What are the practical options available to you other than the proposals you have rejected so far

00:00:18.072 --> 00:00:24.849
that could, for example. bring about a referral to the International Criminal Court or a UN peace initiative?

00:00:24.849 --> 00:00:33.481
Do you think this is the best the international community has to offer you after 22 months of violence?

00:00:35.200 --> 00:00:41.686
I heard Al-Akhdar Ibrahimi's statement, and have previously met with him in Cairo.

00:00:41.686 --> 00:00:52.452
In Mr Ibrahimi's first interview within Syria, he said that the situation in Syria effects international peace.

00:00:52.452 --> 00:00:59.065
I had hoped of Mr Al-Akhdar Ibrahimi to present a report to the Security Council,

00:00:59.065 --> 00:01:06.226
briefing them in detail on the reality in Syria, and to reiterate to them his statement.

00:01:06.226 --> 00:01:14.258
The words of Al-Akhdar Ibrahimi, the UN envoy to Syria, provide the context for political action on Syria.

00:01:14.258 --> 00:01:20.148
We would welcome a report from Al-Akhdar Ibrahimi to the Security Council

00:01:20.148 --> 00:01:26.478
stating that the situation in Syria poses a dangerous threat to the stability of the region

00:01:26.478 --> 00:01:34.508
and to international peace, making clear the responsibilities of the international community.

00:01:34.508 --> 00:01:42.830
That said, I assure you, sir, that Al-Akhdar Ibrahimi is not able to land at Damascus International Airport.

00:01:42.830 --> 00:01:50.193
The airport is curently under siege from all areas, and flight activity has all but ceased.

00:01:50.193 --> 00:01:58.476
This very moment, I have live intelligence of the exact location where Bashar Al-Assad sleeps at night.

00:01:58.476 --> 00:02:03.434
The revolutionaries will arrest this criminal and his companions so that they will face justice.

00:02:03.434 --> 00:02:08.514
That aside, I would like to share with viewers the good news that Tal al-Mallouhi

00:02:08.514 --> 00:02:17.977
the young woman imprisoned for years for her writings on her blog, has been successfully smuggled

00:02:17.977 --> 00:02:23.785
from a prison belonging to the government's internal securtiy apparatus.

00:02:23.785 --> 00:02:31.048
This demonstrates that the regime no longer controls the country, and that they are in retreat.

00:02:31.048 --> 00:02:38.404
The upper hand lies with the popular revolutionary movement, and with the people on the streets.

00:02:38.404 --> 00:02:46.214
Victory is near. Indeed, the price the Syrian people have had to pay has been great,

00:02:46.214 --> 00:02:53.239
the likes of which has not been paid by another people or nation.

00:02:53.239 --> 00:02:59.735
History will bear witness to the heroics of the Syrian people, and we will strive towards

00:02:59.735 --> 00:03:05.535
establishing a new nation, a democratic nation... (inaudible)... and civil liberties.
