Massive demonstration in a town just outside Damascus that's fallen under the control of the opposition free Syria army. Some suburbs have seen nearly two dozen killed in the past two days and buildings heavily shelt. Artisan Refurth has exclusive footage from the besieged town. When we got there we were met by the free Syrian army who now have control of that area and they showed us around. They took us into the centre. There was this absolutely massive anti-government demonstration going on. There was a funeral procession going on at the same time as well. So we were able to speak to the people who were living in this area to speak to some of the free Syrian army members as well. Because of course a very little is known about who exactly these people are. Really it made it very very clear to us just how divided the country is now becoming. Whilst we were there there was sort of a moment of confusion. We did hear gunshots in the background. Some of the crowd got nervous and started running. At which point we were all sort of told it was safer to leave it and we then left that area. Very tense situation. It's certainly a very dangerous situation for the civilians in this area as well. You go to these suburbs you can see bullet holes in the walls. It's not really clear in so much of the country now who exactly has control. The fact that this is now happening in a suburb just 15 minutes or so from the city centre here in Damascus really goes to show you just how much the situation here is now deteriorating. Well Russia has made its position extremely clear that they're not going to back the Western resolution. Whilst it doesn't rule out the sanctions, the military intervention. They put their own proposal forward and you've had this sort of back and forth with neither sides really being able to come to some form of agreement. The big sticking point here really is the military intervention. You've got so many different factions in the country. It is even worse to hear in the country. Very very hard to really understand who exactly is in charge. Who has the voice of the people because this is originally a peaceful protest movement. You've now got increasingly armed opposition groups. There's reports today that Saudi Arabia, that Qatar have said that they're going to be back in the opposition and providing funding and arms as well. And the last thing that anyone wants to see here at the moment is for this conflict to become even more armed, even more violent because the daily death toll is devastatingly high at the moment. Talking to the people in this suburb today, they were extremely emotional. The people here in this country have lost all sense of safety, all sense of security.
