And we've had about two weeks to judge their actions.
00:02
I'm wondering, I mean, it doesn't sound like there's anything you've seen or heard that's
00:07
made you draw anything other than a fairly favorable conclusion?
00:11
I think that's right.
00:12
I mean, I obviously don't have any sort of on-the-ground information that's any more
00:18
than others who are in touch with the media.
00:21
But I was interested to hear this morning that the new UN humanitarian coordinator,
00:28
Tom Fletcher, of course, is a former ambassador and foreign policy official at Number 10,
00:36
saying that he's actually been all over, well, in several different parts of the country
00:42
talking to ordinary Syrians on the ground of all different sort of complexions and origins.
00:50
And the impression he comes away with from that is that, so far at least, there's a willingness
00:55
by most people to give the new order the benefit of the doubt.
01:01
No doubt, partly, because for most of those people, I guess, anything is better than what
01:07
they had before, which was where they had no personal security, where people were detained
01:13
and executed, more or less at will and all that.
01:16
So it can only be an improvement on the ground thus far.
