Al Jazeera English podcasts@aljazeera.net no Al Jazeera English As the US answers the opposition's call for arms, how does this change the situation on the ground? On Thursday, President Barack Obama agreed to expand the level of US military support for the Syrian rebels. The decision comes after the White house said it had conclusive evidence chemical weapons were being used by the Assad government; an act president Obama has repeatedly described as crossing a Red Line. We ask if the implication of the US to stop Assad's regime from using chemical weapons can shift the balance on the ground. To discuss the latest developments, Inside Syria, with presenter Fauziah Ibrahim, discusses with guests: Khaled Saleh, Head of the Media Office of the Syrian National Coalition; Mark Kimmitt, a Former US State Department official under President George W. Bush and a retired Brigadier General who also served as Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for the Middle East; and Ammar Waqqaf, a Syrian political activist. 2481848267001: Syria's call for arms Sun, 16 Jun 2013 11:41:49 +0300 1554 Ammar Waqqaf,Inside Syria,UN,Barack Obama,Chemical Weapons,US Forces,Syrian war,you tube,Khaled Saleh,Selim Idris,al Jazeera,Mark Kimmitt,fauziah ibrahim,War,youtube,assad,insidesyria,aljazeera,syria <img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/podcasts/insidesyriaHD/~4/2pwSQga82-Y" height="1" width="1"/>http://bc05.ajnm.me/665003303001/665003303001_2481897182001_pgsyr-011396-v01-1-SYR-qc1.mp4 Al Jazeera English As the US answers the opposition's call for arms, how does this change the situation on the ground?

The situation has been messy from the start, but now the battle for Syria has been further complicated by the official involvement of al-Qaeda. On Wednesday, the head of al-Nusra Front in Syria formally pledged allegiance to al-Qaeda leader, Ayman Al Zawahiri. The establishment of al-Nusra was announced in January 2012. Like al-Qaeda, it has used car bombs and suicide attacks in its efforts to bring down the al-Assad government. The group is estimis estimated to have around 5,000 members, believed to be largely funded and trained by al-Qaeda in Iraq. In December, the US State Department put al-Nusra on its list of terrorist organisations. It said the group was responsible for hundreds of attacks, and the deaths of countless civilians.

Inside Syria discusses with guests: Yaser Tabbara, Joshua Landis and Danny Makki. It has been two years since the start of the Syrian conflict. What began with peaceful demonstrations in the streets of Deraa has morphed into a nationwide conflict with sectarian, ethnic and regional overtones. In that time, tens of thousands of Syrians have been killed and more than a million forced to leave their homes. A regime that has run Syria for decades is fighting for its survival and in no mood to compromise. On the rebels side, a group of disparate forces are united by the common goal of defeating the rule of Bashar al-Assad. 2231320242001: Where is the Syrian conflict heading?

Women make up half of Syria's population, yet they are often invisible in the political and media discussions taking place since the conflict began two years ago.

The head of the Syrian National Coalition has intensified his push for talks with President Bashar al-Assad's government, despite criticism and opposition from his colleagues in the coalition. Moaz al-Khatib went as far as as identifying Farouk al-Sharaa, Syria's deputy president, as the figure with whom he would like to begin talks. This initiative from the head of the SNC to talk to Assad's government came with certain conditions; mainly the release of 160,000 prisoners and the extension of passports held by Syrian citizens. The Syrian government responded saying it is open to dialogue, but with no preconditions. So, is dialogue the best way out of the crisis in Syria?
