called in damascus to and its crackdown on protesters or face targeted measures but moscow and beijing said this could open the door to a levy a style military intervention are just more important than has the latest from new york. russian ambassador to the united nations vitaly churkin said the draft was too one sided he described the resolution as a confrontational approach taken by the european delegation and against the peaceful settlement to the crisis now this draft resolution was proposed by france with the support of portugal the u.k. and germany but the one part of the text that many countries seem to disagree with was that that called for syria to comply with the resolution within thirty days and if it if not complied then the council would quote consider its options including unspecified quote measures many council members including china
12:02 am
russia brazil south africa interpreted these vague terms as leaving the door open to sanctions now of course russia is one is one of many countries that has been opposed to international sanctions against syria ambassador churkin says moscow believes the violence should be stopped through internal reforms and political dialogue not external sanctions or military intervention such as the case of libya you bring you see what you broke the drug issue is illusion which has not passed today was based on an entirely different philosophy the philosophy of confrontation we cannot agree with this one so you don't you see she is against the mask we believe the threats of implementing sanctions against the syrian government is unacceptable this approach contradicts the principle of a peaceful settlement of the crisis based on
12:03 am
a common syrian national dialogue our proposals in the freezing of the unacceptability of a foreign military intervention were not taken into a coma and this considering the well known events in north africa can only be alarming enough so we are doing proposals to the opposition and the arabs and sober people today and to disassociate themselves from the extremists is also alarming. brazil india south africa and lebannon abstained from voting on the resolution but it was the united states that voiced extreme disappointment that the security council did not hold to mentally adopt the resolution moving forward russia and china said that they will be working on a resolution to gether that they say will be more balanced in the case of syria now we do know that some council members wanted not only the syrian government condemn for the violence but also a condemnation against all the anti-government protesters that may have been
12:04 am
inflaming the violence that has been breaking out over the course of six months but that is a measure that the europeans did not want included in this resolution brazil had noted that had the sponsors waited a little bit longer before a vote was called. divisions could have possibly been the bridge to within the security council but as mentioned russia and china said that they will move forward to try to come up with a more balanced resolution on syria. neither reporting from new york now the syrian ambassador was given the floor in new york after the security council vote. to have a chance to have a go at washington. the u.s. has used the veto fifty times to protect israel and it continues to threaten to use the veto power this could be considered partying and genocide. the common saw the
12:05 am
entire u.s. delegation headed by susan rice walk out of the meeting in protest the syrian envoy was referring to america stands on the palestinian bid for full recognition at the u.n. the white house says it will veto any resolution to grant statehood saying that such a move can only come through direct talks between israel and the palestinians. the chinese veto on syria at the u.n. security council resolution makes our relations with the u.s. even more. later in the program we report on how washington is trying to get back at beijing for allegedly under valuing of the yuan and taking away of american jobs . thousands of people unite against the government's latest round of austerity measures in a twenty four hour strike in greece flights in and out of the country are canceled
12:06 am
schools closed hospitals will be working at reduced capacity this nationwide protest comes after eurozone finance chiefs postponed greece's next bailout well for more on this let's now cross live tell correspondent sara for who is in athens sara what exactly are we going to see with this strike and what's planned for the day. was just a couple of hours time you're going to be seeing the country's main labor unions leading thousands of people. behind me. the main parliament building protesting of course against the new wave of. it in place with new announcements here in athens the job layoffs there's been recently a really deep discontent amongst the public here as the flights in and out of the country have been canceled schools and hospitals are expected to operate out of. the public schools going to be stalled and we've seen this happen before. that's
12:07 am
part of the many many times the people protesting against these measures. pushing that country into an even deeper. well sara what are the fears in athens now. and for the next payment will be delayed was made. when we heard the. middle which. the greek government has said they can survive financially and still then as we said before it seems extremely unlikely that they wouldn't get that next tranche of money that they need to keep afloat because at this point the situation really is not just quit school for greece because cool for the rest of the usa as well we're already seeing a lot of concern about exactly how far the contagion is going to spread and who's going to be affected by the well it certainly has and this is the place where say much of this is played out on syntagma that we saw
12:08 am
a couple of years but they see the protesters up against the parliament building being pushed back by riot police you know a couple of years on and we're back here again and what people are starting to realize now is that it's not just going to end here on syntagma in athens in greece that this is really now coming much much closer to home we've already seen this over debt crisis now spreading into what many fear is going to be another banking crisis and there's been a lot of concern criticism as well about the way that the eurozone leaders have been managing this situation about their inability really to come up with realistic measures that are going to stop this crisis in the track and put certainly greece back on the right track but the rest of the eurozone is low we've heard the protesters who will be turning out today saying much the same as before that they're still dealing with these measures that are put in place to try and please international lenders that really these measures are nothing more than a sticking plaster over the gaping wound that is this ongoing crisis and really
12:09 am
people are going to be looking to see whether there's going to be anything that can be done from preventing this financial crisis spreading into a very deep recession in the country and in the eurozone as a whole all right sara first thanks very much indeed for bringing us this update from athens. and investment advisor patrick young says that the european union needs to respond to the greek debt crisis much quicker if it's to stay intact. the european union are trying to take fiscal control of greece because they think that's the only way they can actually control the crisis essentially what is being fought at the moment is a battle for the sovereignty of greece the european union is too slow there is too little leadership and there is a pig headed in trying to germs particularly amongst the finance ministers but there's specially amongst the leaders of the european union ations in terms of understanding that they needed to move
12:10 am
a lot faster on this crisis they still need to move much faster and ultimately time is running out because greece is leading the contagion that is going to kill the euro by the end of the year if we don't see positive and rough production realistically bad action means that greece needs to leave the euro because the problem is we cannot leave citizens of the european union to starve to death because it suits a troika of international lenders. well we now go back to our top story and we can now discuss russia and china veto of the un resolution on syria with. deputy director center for international monetary research in beijing thank you very much for being here with us on the program sir so first off why did china and russia vio this u.n. security council resolution on syria. i say is a very. important of the right decision for china russia to veto or not propose
12:11 am
a certain shows. because here in the datastream it is the sanctions it's a nod to the best a way to settle a conflict or mess very complicated all in by case for dialogue weaker brain has there been a peace in syria and other countries so i think rush or the chair that has made a very good division. well what does this mean for syria's future can you. liberate weighs on that. as ensuring. the piece of history is very important to middle east as well as of for the region and the word sanctions. we have be ready to bear the newest law all two hundred people off curious so i think russia and the counties to this into against the sanctions against syria is a very good videos for a people and there will be very
12:12 am
a beneficial for a peaceful settlement of serious. conflict in the future. and how do you see the relations between the us and china developing in the future. right alongside the us relation in the very critical moment to the areas of very much worry much of trouble for example every issue off the us military is she also. trying to issue also you would buy us on our soul. mates r. and b. issue and the many azer trados i think us all these scenes the u.s. government's massive take on a major whole response be given all these troubles i think the u.s. government and the congress why the policy and last to take action to improve silo u.s. relationships. well as we know russia and china vetoed
12:13 am
a resolution on syria but in your view is there any possibility that the u.s. and its allies my actually use force against that even without a u.n. mandate. there is worry high possibility to verify probably before us or to act union naturally it will or lol driving all the us all in many cases always to the feedlots failure in industrial action so i think right on that result very high. probably be key for us to take action against syria even. told by russia and china. this is deputy director center for international monetary research thank you very much for being with us here and the program. china has expressed its condemnation of the u.s. senate's bill on the chinese swan after it voted to allow a debate on the so-called currency manipulation bill the legislation would make it

12:15 am
government's policies have been successful as a result they're looking for other places to place blame or to share the blame for the economic crisis that is global at this point but nonetheless really the united states the reason that it has a huge trade deficit not just with china but with other countries is because the private sector you see with. it if the u.s. wants to address the problem of deficits that is trade deficit it really needs to look at creating policies that raise private sector savings. thousands of americans are gearing up for another day of demonstrations in the u.s. capitol they've been protesting for three weeks against corporate influence on government policy which they blame for the country's economic woes but even after the police arrested hundreds of activists over the weekend the movement still picking up momentum across the country reports. we
