Confronted the Russians about stopping their continued arms shipments just to Syria.
We are concerned about the latest information we have that there are attack helicopters.
On the way from Russia to Syria.

Are real concerns that UN peacekeepers who have their real eyes and -- in Syria right now may not be able to tell the world what is happening in Syria journalists of course -- out of their very tough to get information out of Syria.
So because this Syrian regime denies that it's a civil war and the rebels tonight the civil war -- very different reasons.
The term civil war could make it more more difficult for the UN's operate there it means we'll have less.
Knowledge of what's actually happening in that country.
Martha.
