About a week now and tonight some opposition commanders are saying if the world would not help them may be al-Qaeda will.

Catherine Herridge is live in this in Washington with more on that refers to Jonathan Hunt who's at the UN and the UN took some action today Jonathan did that action mean anything.

You know in one would bill the most generous interpretation of it is to say that it was one small step up.

From doing absolutely nothing -- told general assembly resolutions up far less significant.

Then Security Council resolutions because they are completely unenforceable.

And this resolution even had only its teeth taken out anyway before it even came to a vote no demand for president that's -- to stand down.

No threat of punishment if he continues to massacre Syrian civilians in the UN Secretary General himself.

Before the vote was taken warned of the members of the United Nations that they are risking becoming irrelevant listen.

United international pressure can make a difference.

For Syrian people need action.

There is no sign whatsoever though that any action is ever going to come on Syria.

From perhaps the most dis united United Nations we've seen in many a decade built.

What about Syrian reaction I imagine there denouncing everyone who voted in favor of this resolution on Jonathan.

You you -- -- sort of predictable woods we've heard before from the Syrian ambassador to the UN.

Calling those who criticize his country among them all the Middle Eastern nations and the United States has complete hypocrites listen.

And there -- what's out of the ambassador of Saudi Arabia.

And ambassador of -- and the European and American ambassador was -- -- allow.

Only 1%.

Of armed rebellion to happen in their own respective countries.

Then let them come to me -- my government -- thought criticizing us.

And as these Syrian ambassador was offering those woods it appears.

That -- Syrian regime was continuing its brutal assault.

On the rebels in Syria's largest City Hall but I'll let -- meantime back here at the UN -- -- left probe continues to run the the diplomats do nothing but fiddle.

Bill thank you Jonathan Jonathan -- in New York City.
