said that these sorts of coalition ventures were undermining the united nations, the security architecture that has been in place for all the world for 70 years. this is the 69th session of the generalcy systembly. so in place since the end of world war ii. >> james, did we get any careerecolorer idea of what russia's intentions are? how are they going to continue to the effort to sort out isil? they said the best way forward was the security council to deal with this not with just isil but all of the problems, and he used the phrase minor, middle and a.

and a pop up coalition against isil. he said there are wider problems, and they needed to be dealt with all together. >> the other big issue, of course, the other big issue that is dominating the headlines, and of course taking up a lot of russian attention is the situation in ukraine. he spent quite a bit of time giving fierce comments about what he called aggressive expansionism undertaken by nato. let's take a listen to what he had to say. >> russia is prepared to actively promote a political settlement under the crisis as well as other form, however it should be chrisal clear that we're doing this for the sake of peace and tranquility. >> a deal is in place. the minsk process as it's now known is under way. and that is the format through

which russia hopes to work through the problems surrounding ukraine. >> yes, very forthright, very much like his ambassador, who is here speaking about ukraine at the security council. and the think the russian policy of attack is the best form of defense when you're criticized by many countries in the world, the role in ukraine, it's a shaky cease-fire but for now i think the russians are pretty happy with what they have got. the ukrainian government has had to make quite a few concessions at that minsk deal, now a buffer zone, ceding land to the rebels, and told they were going to be given autonomy. they had to make those concessions but president poroshenko came to washington seeking fresh military assistance. yes, he was able to make his

160,000 pages the prosecution has to go through. mubarak, former interior minister and six others were accused of ordering the killing of protesters. hosni mubarak was forced to step down during the up risings. while those who opposed mubarak have little faith in the judicial system punishing him. in 2012 he was tensed for failing to protect protesters. the chief prosecutor criticized mubarak of putting his own interests ahead of the nation. but it was overturned and a retrial ordered.

the fact finding ordered by the president at the time mohammed morsi found that they were responsible for the killing ever 900 anti-government protesters. like this man shot in alexander. he was accused of giving direct orders to kill, in arms he said he was not aware of the killings. mubarak was released from prison and put under house arrest. earlier this year hosni mubarak was found guilty of stealing public funds. >> the court orders mubarak to be sent to prison for three years. >> mubarak's lawyers say they have faith in the legal system. but for many other egyptians like this man who waved his dead son's blood-stained clothes in court justice has a completely different meaning. al jazeera. >> al jazeera is continuing to demand the release of its three journalists who were imprisoned in egypt.

the man who brought the charges against here felt confident she would be found guilty. >> she came at one rupel a year and amassed in one year 66 cross, how is that possible? >> while supporters burned pictures of leaders across the political divide acknowledging the significance of the verdict. >> it cannot remain as chief minister. she has to step down. >> celebrated by supporters of the opposition, the verdict against jayalilitha is likely to push politics into disarray. the actor turned politician is a larger than life figure with a cult-like following but it has

not been enough to keep her from facing the law. >> it is a confirmation and reaffirmation that everyone is equal before law. whatever are the legal options for now, that is for her and her party to decide. >> this case comes in the wake of nationwide protest against corruption. it also follows the passing of a landmark anti-corruption bill in december last year, which was meant to clean up indian politics. the now former chief minister of tamil nadu is now likely to appeal the verdict, but with a new central government eager for a more transparent india to the world, some say her conviction could not have come at a better time. >> now thousands of pro-democracy demonstrators are bracing themselves for another night of confrontation outside of government headquarters in hong kong. dozens have been arrested and several others injured.

condemned the action fearing it is just the kind of disobedience that will harm the city's prosperity and more importantly anger beijing. after coming to life spontaneously, this occupation seems to have built up a momentum of its own as more people have come along to support it, and under what circumstances it will end is something that nobody for now can predict. rob mcbride, al jazeera hong kong. >> the outbreak of the fever in southern china is getting word. 9,000 people have been infected. the disease is spread by mosquito. they will try to stop its spread. in venezuela government leaders are accusing doctors of spreading psychological terrorism as they call it over the extent of a deadly virus. doctors are saying the true number of victims is being covered up, but the government said there is no cause for ala

point that mr. lavrov was trying to get across with regard to the problem involving syria, iraq, and the battle against isil, isis, or i.s.? >> well, the maintain point in sergei lavrov's speech is concentrationed on russian-american relations. it is key to understand russian's attitudes towards developments in syria and iraq. and russian and america spoil their relations from the beginning of arab revolution. i say now that it was announced by sergei lavrov in the general

assembly reflects that russia is steeped in tradition. it does not want to increase tension with the united states, but at the same time russia doesn't make any changes in its principles that were taken during syrian crisis and during ukrainian crisis. i think the main point for russian speech is to try to prove general assembly to respect international law, and framework for any military actions in the world against independent states that will be based only on security council resolutions. >> i hear exactly had a you're saying, but try to interpret for us, if you will, please, exactly what the russian intention is. because the world would really like to know what the russian federation is prepared to do,

the russian fed ration has acknowledged the extremist threat from groups like isil is as much a worry to them in moscow as it is to washington as it is to lone, and brussels. so what exactly is the russian federation prepared to do? >> well, the fact that necessity of fighting isil or it is obvious. russia is ready to fight together with other nations together with other states, but russian warns to be respected international law. sometimes they say that russia didn't respect international law in ukraine, crimea, and so on, but i think that this is not military intervention. russia not in crimea, not in ukraine. russia doesn't send its troops.

now we watch in the middle east that european countries are sending their aircraft to bomb situation in iraq. in iraq it is good thing because the iraqi government interacting with iraqi government. but as far as syria is concerned russia is concerned that it is not acceptable to make some efforts to increase military, financial help to oppositional forces, syrian free army, and at the same time it excluding syrian government as an one of the main player to confront isil on syrian soil. >> i'm so sorry. i would love to talk longer with you. very interesting conversation, but time is against us, and we've got to end it there.

thank you very much, indeed. >> thank you. >> now, the spanish government is vowing to stop the people of catalonia from holding an independence referendum. the region's president designed a decree for the vote to be held in november. but the national government is saying that it would be illegal. we can go live now to barcelona and to the diplomat council of catalonia. why do you not feel spanish? >> well, i mean, we are spanish. the problem is that we want to be part of this state or not. catalonia is a very old nation, which lasted sovereignty three centuries ago in 1714 because of military defeat, and right now we want to decide whether we want to keep on being part of

spain, or create our own country within the european union. >> but do you really-- >> the scots have been able to hold a referendum. >> let's get on to scotland in a minute. some are rather interested to foe how much of a lesson you've learned from that exercise. do you not feel that your part of a bigger spain, and do you feel that small states in this day and age do very well? >> exactly, especially within the european union. you can see that many countries which are small- and immediat medium-sized countries are doing well, so what. >> they have their own defense, their own currency as the scots discovered when the whole debate in the exercise if they were going to pull away from the rest of great britain, and one of the great determining factors in the no-vote was the fact that there was uncertainty over the kind of

currency they were going to have, as to how they could defend their own borders and so on. >> exactly. if yo we want to become a country we have to take into consideration these issues. but we're already using the euro. this is something that we can decides on our serves. >> and you would have to renegotiate entry into every international constitution. >> if we talk, for instance, about the european union, i'm sure we would find a way to be part of europe. to take into account the gdp. i'm sure we'll find a way of catalonia to be part of the european union. >> this move of yours at the moment to hold a referendum on

the possibility of backing away from greater spain comes at a time when spain is only just got over the terrible doldrums of the financial recession, and it's only just about picking up. i mean, it's almost as if thorougthough you're kicking a man when he's down. >> this is not just the result of the crisis. it's when catalonia decided to create the reform in 2006. it was confirmed in a referendum in catalonia, it was spanished by the spanish party so since then we are in, you know, in the situation in which we see how the spanish institutions are trying to diminish catalan self

rule. there was a ruling in 2010 and only some of the most interesting articles of that autonomy, and especially the sentence which read catalonians as a nation. i would say this is core of the conflict. it is a nation but it is not recognized like this by the rest of spain. >> thank you very much for talking to us here at al jazeera. thank you. >> now to a number of migrants dying at sea reaches record levels. attention are turning to the e.u.'s pledge to create a new border control mission. italy had hoped to replace its costly rescue efforts, but it has left italy to shoulder much of the responsibility. we go to sicily to join in an eye toolain an an italian air
