touch with the people he left. to apologise for having some technical problems with your microphone i still have to check in with you a bit later. many thanks to. you without me now russia and china have vetoed a u.n. security council resolution on syria the european backdraft called on damascus to end its crackdown on protesters or face quote targeted measures but not going to beijing said they are concerned it could pave the way to a libya style military intervention. reports 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 a peaceful settlement to the crisis now this draft resolution was proposed by
8:06 am
france with a. 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 a resolution within thirty days and it if it had not complied then the council would quote consider its options including unspecified quote measures many council members including china russia brazil south africa interpreted these vague terms as leaving the door open to saying sions now of course russia's 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 put in you see what you
8:07 am
broke with the draft resolution which was not to do it was raised in an entirely different philosophy the philosophy of confrontation we cannot agree with its one sided accusations against unmasked we believe the threat of implementing sanctions against the syrian government is unacceptable this approach contradicts the crucible of peaceful settlement. based on common for serious national good sugars brazil india south africa and lebannon and stained from voting on the resolution but it was the united states that voiced extreme disappointment that the security council did not alternately adopt the resolution moving forward russia and china said that they will be working on a resolution to gather 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 condemned for the violence but also. condemnation against all the anti-government
8:08 am
protesters that may have been 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. by russia and china it follows three months of heated debate in new york where the disagreement has split the security council but moscow was convinced of its action justified. explained. it's actually a rare case of russia using its veto at the u.n. security council russia has only used its power of veto seven times since nine hundred eighty four that is fewer than the u.k. and that's way less than the united states and the fact that most school has used this last resort shows that it's trying to prevent a similar scenario and yet another arab state to what happened in libya back in
8:09 am
march that resolution on libya was passed russia abstained from the vote but the u.n. mandate was quickly picked up by nato which sided with and to develop the forces in libya helping them to topple the colonel and russia insists that in case of libya this u.n. mandate was misused and now it has vote not to laugh but hard going again actually russia is the only permanents not grow beyond security council which is something that's to be trying to negotiate a peaceful resolution to the crisis in syria it has posed a representative so forth president bashar al assad and members of the opposition trying to notch them into a dialogue and russian lawmakers also want on the fact finding mission to syria which ask who get back to moscow's peason fab's trying to implement the democratic reforms which it promised but it needs more time to bring them into force the u.s.
8:10 am
and its western allies have already imposed a set of sanctions aimed against regime of president assad and they have called him to step down well russia stands at the point that any one sided approach could only make matters worse and it could be sending a biased signal all strong support for the opposition to keep fighting. which could only fuel it sanction in that country. you get a really great job reporting right there what i mean time john laughlin from the institute for democracy and cooperation in piracy says that u.s. pressure on syria is actually all about ensuring the security of israel washington's closest ally in the region i think moscow has been very annoyed with nato with britain france and america for the way they exploited to the libyan resolution the one which russia abstained on and therefore allowed to pass russia has said repeatedly during the libyan campaign that the terms of that resolution were being misused that resolution after all only talked about protecting civilians
