In geneva this morning, a new round of talks trying to end the conflict in syria. Diplomats are hoping to build on a tragill truce. After three roupsdz of attacks, instead of afternoon dimistura says he hopes all of the sides are ready to lay out a roadmap for syrias future. Our diplomatic editor, james bays, are we expecting any concrete changes to come out of this new round of talks . Reporter certainly if you listen to the special envoy, steffan dimistura, he says this time, it will be different. There were talks a few weeks after that collapsed after a couple of days, didnt really get going because of the intensified bombardment by the Syrian Government and by the russians. We had talks two years ago. They never really got going because of a row about the agenda. This time, he says he is going to start with the main issue. He says its the mother of all issues, and thats the issue of political transition in syria. Its going to discuss it as though talks get underway and in fact the first meeting between mr. Dimistura and the Syrian Government is taking plates as we speak. Dimistura saying there is no plan b if the talks dont work out. Is that really the case . Reporter well, hes making it clear that if there was to be a collapse in the talks, the only plan b would be what we have seen in syria over the last five years, the appalling death toll and blood shed and he said he feared if could get worse. He says if these talks get bogged down, if they dont make progress, that he knows what to do, he knows who to go back to. If during these talks in the next round we will see no notice of any willingness to negotiate, which we hope is not going to be the case, obviously, we will go what we want to do and we have done. We will bring the issue back to those who have influence and that is the russian, the u. S. A. , co chairs of the issg and to the security council. Reporter and mr. Dimistora telling us that the plan for the talks has perhaps changed a bit. When we were here last time earlier this year, he was saying a sixmonth period for the talks. Now he is saying there are going tosh three rounds of 10 days to two weeks each. So we could see if these talks dont collapse and i have to say not everyone has high hopes, we could see this whole process concluded in the early part of may. And james, before i let you go, with the setsation of hostility did now in effect, is there a sense of optimism right now in geneva . It certainly creates a new hat moss fear, a new backdrop and context for these negotiations because we have the cessation of secretary of state john kerry speaking in the last few hours. He thought there had been 80 to 90 reduction in the violence. Interesting, though, also what secretary kerry said is that the violence continues, he believes there is one side that is responsible for it.
