Just because (Shara) is part of the regime doesn't mean that we cannot talk to him. I request the regime to commission Shara, (if the regime accepts), for talks with us. Where is the problem in that?" Translation of soundbite #3: SYRIAN OPPOSITION LEADER MOAZ ALKHATIB, SAYING: "The big countries do not have a clear vision about a way out to the conflict.

www.euronews.com Iran has given euronews its response to a US offer of direct talks to resolve the stalemate over Tehran's nuclear programme. The US vice president Joe Biden, speaking at this year's Munich Security Conference, reiterated previous indications that the US was prepared to talk on-on-one with Iran. The west fears Tehran is developing nuclear weapons. Iran maintains the programme is purely for peaceful means. Both sides said any direct talks would need good faith. Iran's foreign minister at the conference Ali Akbar Salehi told euronews: "This negotiation can only take place when we get enough assurances that, this time, the US comes forward with honest intentions. Because our previous experiences unfortunately have shown the opposite." Russia's foreign minister Sergei Lavrov said he would give Biden strong support, but also talked about the need to show Iran incentives.

www.euronews.com French warplanes have bombed fresh targets in northern Mali in their efforts to rid the country of Islamist militants. The so-called "major" air strikes were carried out overnight in the Tessalit area north of Kidal. Military commanders describe it as the last bastion of radicals who occupied the desert north for months before France's intervention. The action came just hours after French President Francois Hollande ended his visit to the country where large crowds gathered to greet him. He praised the work of French and Malian troops but warned France would withdraw its forces once Mali has restored sovereignty over its territory and a UN backed African military unit can take over. Drawn mostly from Mali's West African neighbours, this force is expected to number more than 8000. But its deployment has been badly hampered by shortages of kit and airlift capacity and questions over who will fund estimated costs of up to a billion euros.
