command and control centers in attempt to weakening the embattled colonel and force him out russia actually wants to see it are free to step down moscow's envoy has visited libya and has met our position leaders here and has also. the toughest closest ally and his cousin in cairo and after that has said that both sides had a mutual understanding that military actions is not an option and this conflict should only be resolved through peaceful means nato allies are in agreement with the three must go but the scene is. real simply about how to do that the alliances general secretary rasmussen and the u.s. defense secretary robert gates are demanding more participation more how from certain members because the reality is that the only age out of twenty eight nations members have joined the great bit about the country which is not in nato

sweetness preparing to send its marines to enforce. weapons and bargo and has agreed to extend its presence in this operation in fact the latest murmurs of discontent coming from the rubbles they. want to be sure as they say that they. stayed out of the political process in leave their cases and national issues well we can see that data has intensified dramatically it's the efforts here in the where wow this can paint this whole operation against gadhafi is getting more and more popular among all the sides been involved. well the head of france's nationalist party has told r.t. that the war in libya isn't a humanitarian issue but at mission to topple the current regime well it's sort of what we're here for marine le pen. but if they're competing outside international law we should stop talking nonsense it is no longer at all an air exclusion zone we

are in a mission to bring down a man and a regime and in order to do say. helicopters and tomorrow obviously we will send an army on the ground so it's no longer it's all about humanitarian issues it's about a civil war in which we seek one side. well with russia concerned over abuse of the u.n. mandating that moscow is trying to make sure the same mistakes are not repeated elsewhere it's effectively blocking the draft resolutions put forward at the u.n. nuclear watchdog on the security council which are aimed at pressuring the syrian regime has a report the report said because the same kind of language has been used to lead to the bombing of libya. following two hours of closed door consultations with the u.n. security council members france and britain did not corner enough support that they clearly needed for this resolution that they introduced to be adopted in that

resolution introduced by britain and france calls for a condemnation against the syrian government for our crackdown on anti-government protesters that has taken place over the past three months the resolution the draft resolution proposed by the u.k. and france as i mentioned also urges countries to not supply weapons to damascus it also calls on syria to to comply and to work with the u.n. human rights organization now this is a big effort on the part of these european countries to try to get the international community to clamp down on syria following three months of under us but as we've been reporting other countries veto wielding countries such as china and russia have spoken out against adopting any resolutions against syria russian ambassador to the united nations batali churkin says he believes that diplomacy

should be used for solving political problems now creating conditions for a new armed conflict the russian army voice said housing more and more in more resolutions puts the international community in a position where it's picking sides within an internal conflict let's take a listen to what he said during an interview with channel russia because of concern of interfering in syria fears nearly to an escalation of violence because it may be misinterpreted by destructive opposition forces who want to change or cower in damascus such position will definitely lead to more bloodshed and an exclusion of violence and some poor. dialogue is needed and we remember that in libya it also started with defending human rights which ended up with a war led by the coalition of russia among many other countries believed. that it would not help the situation in the middle east it could possibly just destabilize syria possibly other countries and in the aftermath of what has taken place in libya

a resolution being adopted back in march and some criticizing the fact that european and the u.s. have overstepped guidelines that were put out in that resolution russia and other countries are a little bit more reserved on how to syria choosing a more diplomatic approach in the meantime consultations at the united nations will continue again thursday morning as the u.k. and france continue campaigning for support against this draft for this draft resolution against syria. while the united nations moles of course of action over syria crackdowns on protesters in yemen and bahrain being seen in him looked correspondent this says that washington is using the u.n. as a tool to protect its friends and punish. there is growing pressure washington in saudi arabia and from israel for the u.s. and western powers somehow to get involved syria maybe just for

a year i don't think they understand an angel as the syrian syrian situation is and how a collapse of syrian government could gender great regional stability but it's the other half of the middle east he believes are looking to see we know that states sour and seek worried about human rights in syria but wait a minute western backed governments and bahrain and in yemen and not to mention in israel are gunning down civilians they are or were and it's coming to western powers of purpose so that's a good where it will stand here it's a lot of perl's the muslim world the united nations sympathy at the security council has put commerce former u.s. secretary of state madeleine albright said an arm of us are on the scene and the u.s. is using it to squeeze the syrians hope. change syria next

our team continues to bring you the latest pictures of life down here in russia's north caucasus in the republic of north this us here. interesting stuff of course with the business desk joined her in. welcome to our business poets of the south thanks for joining me russia's economy is on the rise but growth remains moderate despite the high oil price g.d.p. grew just four and a half cents in the first quarter and the world bank expects it to slow down slightly in the next couple of years but says that's nothing to worry. growth of seventy eight percent it was believed in based on a very neat historical circumstances of it with extreme global it could be an extremely troubling price she's incredibly close let's let's do it would be to preserve the parachute so now we are in a world of much more moderate growth and much more constrained international economic environment and that is the new reality the normal under which we're

operating. now let's look at the markets now crude continues to rally after opec failed to agree on increasing our ports this raises fears of supply shortages later this year but sweet is trading at about one hundred one dollars per barrel and brant is that around a hundred and eighteen dollars the stock in asia stocks are broadly lower on thursday the hang sang his dial for the sixth day in a row airlines are suffering from high crude prices would add china down four percent worries about nurse economic growth are weighing on japanese task knology companies are especially hard hitting tokyo he's told me yet his pursing export has lowered sony's losing two percent it's down one point. and here in russia markets are higher for fourth day the r.t.s. is up a quarter of the stats by six is that point four percent let's look at something for digital samples of all ages are among the main game has all strong accrued price look all is up around point seven percent this hour carmakers dollars is also

on the block it has secured a two point seven trillion dollar line of credit for his joint venture with ford bucking the trend is gold it's down point four percent and with lower gold prices. well certainty has been the main trend in russia gore says in recent days with me the bears no bulls able to take the lead it means investors are preparing to stay in a defensive position. i think valuation wise you want to look at buying some telecoms and particularly gas looks cheap but you know really long term it's not going to do very well in my view as they have done over the last sort of ten to fifteen years if you're looking at momentum trades i think that's again a very difficult one i would go defensive since you believe in a downturn in the market in all possible would be telecoms utilities because it was people's. more aggressive to finance them into the fold if you more bullish on the market. if you and i think this is actually traded you should plan on going to should always have on in russia is that you go for the corporate governance
