prepared for a new election is now courting to reports his draft text calls for a political transition in syria it also says the security council could quote adopt further measures if syria does not comply with the terms of the resolution now of course this is just a draft text that was written up by france and britain in consultation with morocco germany portugal the united states and qatar this is a draft that is just beginning to be discussed by the security council members we do know that the russian ambassador to the united nations vitaly churkin expressed quoting to reports deep disappointment with their draft indicating that he does not believe that the international community should impose an outside solution on syria in terms of the conflict taking place there and he also rejected the idea of an

arms embargo or the use of force speaking imposed on syria because we should keep in mind that if this text includes that the security council could adopt further measures if syria does not comply with what the security council wants we don't know what those further measures could be you have countries such as russia china india brazil that believe that there is a conflict that two sides are involved in syria and both of those parties should be addressed now russia has drafted a resolution on syria but according to reports and according to what members told me it does not include the cohesive or punitive measures against syria that western countries are looking for the russian draft hold both parties accountable it doesn't call for any type of regime change and that is something that russia and.

now we saw three months ago vetoed a western draft resolution that could impose possibly regime change in syria and that's where you have a difference of opinions but this story will continue next week because from what we're told the security council will meet to discuss the text of this draft resolution by antiwar activists and blog says the latest resolution circulating at the u.n. security council doesn't uphold the right of the syrian people to choose their own leadership the point of departure between the western interests and russia and china voiced by russia this time is whether or not the decision about who will rule syria is made by the syrian people or by nato as it was with libya today again the indicated that they would not allow a resolution to go through that called for regime change in syria without the participation of the syrian people the thing that the western powers want to see in

this region is discord they obviously cannot occupy these territories after they conquer the rif you look to iraq and afghanistan you can see that that's the case but as long as the people on the ground are busy killing each other the united states can sue cure or oil or in the case of syria for example the port at tartus which would keep russia out of the mediterranean whatever other objectives they have or there are alarming reports from syria with opposition activists claiming that more than sixty people have been killed in the latest outbreak of violence that's against the backdrop of the reported advance of the syrian regime fighters towards the capital damascus while some see it as a sign of liberation others. discovered remain unconvinced. clear message from the protesters in a suburb of damascus as a funeral takes place. we don't want killing we don't want to.

see. children killing we don't have freedom we don't we we will do. this this is going to be all come to us you know they feel safety is being provided by the free syrian army the guerrilla body made up of many army defectors who say its presence here has enabled protests like these to go ahead. i cannot come in anymore because the free syrian army is protecting us we support the free syrian army and we support. the former army colonel heads the f.s.a. from the brute he's been steadfast from the start and his calls the foreign military intervention the armed safe are void of partnerships with any other opposition elements he sees defense significantly inside the country and the national coordination council one of the leading opposition groups remains adamant that foreign military intervention would make an already to tear erasing situation

even worse whole while the security position has caused some areas to get out of control seems that there is a war between two groups on the outside the country and it's the syrian national council pitching itself as the main opposition but it too has failed to unify the many different opposition factions and this lack of unity has hampered the calling coups for direct u.n. involvement russia and china remain firmly opposed to a resolution that would leave the door open to foreign military intervention and a far cry from previous coups the dialogue qatar and saudi arabia now talk to the opposition this fit cost even more lives say many nice need to find her. you have to work with the other side working with the other side. of. the f.s.a. say they have little choice but to use weaponry to protect civilians. who have this

mean square here in town with people who come out and protest. security forces trying to come in but we protect them but this is what's happening here but it remains a precarious situation in a moment of confusion the crowd gets nervous and starts to run at one point gunshots still says where they come from or from i know you can favor that a lot of confusion here on this face even if you're reading in a different direction not exactly sure what's going on that the you know it's a safe situation severe right now and all of this happening just fifteen minutes from the city center is just a day before it's major pro-government demonstrations so position can show continues to gain ground the divisions within the country have never been clearer. idea. coming up in the program when pressure from the west

back far as iran is set to hold the oil supplies the european union. and even if the books economy on that stand. on reports on the struggle of the food industry in india and went head to head with the international superstore johns. thousands of people have gathered in warsaw to protest the signing of a new treaty in force into their property rights on the internet opponents say the international act document is pure censorship and the violation of human rights. has been hitting the demands of protesters first hand. a passer by from england confused scenes on friday in central warsaw with the filming of a sequel for the hollywood movie v. for vendetta judging from the number of masked men and cameras such resemblance was tangible the film character fought for revolution these people are all still

standing for change to stop the anti counterfeit trade agreement act from becoming law in poland minus fifteen degrees centigrade is definitely not an excuse for thousands who gathered in central warsaw friday common it's a week of numerous mass rallies across poland with people protesting against internet censorship act in may have a positive aim to protect intellectual property but these protesters fear it will be used to police the web and take harmless websites offline. engineer martin says his work is under threat because of actors obscurity with the international backed worked out in complete secrecy issues with. the. information the government. it's very unclear the negotiations have lost since two thousand and four nobody's

been told anything unlike the week's massive anti active protests in poland friday's showdown had clear political overtones while the majority of the crowd was voicing no to the treaty a large chunk was directing their anger at the government and experts say the scale of public dissent has managed to make war soldiers ruling elite nervous the government was promoting itself as being modern as being probably people probably internet and people trying to keep them accountable so when they discover that the government is supporting something without doubt it was purely political answer to no we don't believe this but this considers the harm governments are pretty steadily scenes they are. point of view or order a tactic and the and not ratify act and they will have a second fault so after a week of ignorance i think suddenly they realize that the protests are much deeper much broader and. to become law in poland actor needs the approval of both the

polish and european parliament nobody knows for sure how long this might take but protesters say they will continue piling the pressure on the authorities to stop this happening i think it came as a complete shock nobody expected nobody expected. to. do this kind of thing i think there will be a lot more. to last for at least two weeks i think because. i think how long it will take to actually. prime minister to be adamant war so would not give in to and blackmail in the street with what was initially acquired social protest has become politically broader with every rally ask elating in both the numbers present and the level of aggression let's see russia. reporting from warsaw in poland. well dominique from the helsinki foundation for human rights says governments

should communicate with users before preparing sweeping internet laws. of the way it did of gray it's my violating the basic freedoms and in there you know too much with the freedom are you there without really catching the big violators of the internet and those internet providers those companies which are taking advantage of the fear i see in the internet and the first thing we should be aware of this process is that people are feeling that they were cheated by the government then that something is wrong and that there were no consultation then there was no possibility of a debate before therefore as of the signature of the document there were many at times in the recent year or rekers minds to have the internet and every time people have they pressure and that the government is taking some steps without

but it all price is already rising rapidly experts have warned that the actions of the european union could do the more harm than good the senior group of young officials and weapons experts are preparing to meet in toronto they are due to arrive this weekend and will be the highest level talks and really need to issue in the millions liberal policy consultant money though not by threatening to turn off the tap in europe iran is hoping to cushion the embargo but. the calculus from iran's perspective is going to be if a preamp by cutting exports the forward the july first date that the e.u. has set for cutting the exports and iran preemptively cut its three four hundred thousand barrels worth the exports to the e.u. would be able to drive prices up enough by doing that to offset for that you know right now what is going on with iran is that they there is an existential threat to

the government and quite frankly from the u.s. perspective i don't think there's a lot of hope that these sanctions will actually get you right to stop its nuclear program i think the real. unwritten objective here is quite frankly and call it by different name but it's regime change ultimately they want to put as much pressure that as they can on on this government. well coming up a little later in the program we hear from the people out on the streets of new york. do you think most people are willing to change their daily behavior even though they call it selfish you know they don't really care about the planet until until it affects them personally are americans ready to sacrifice their daily routines in the name of environment find out if we don't. the euro is still taking a hammering fitch one of the big three credit ratings has announced five more downgrades for european economies that leaders struggle to soothe nerves on another front the debt crisis ravaging the currency to top billing at the world economic

forum in davos what is the minister has more for us from the. we're going in today for davos at the world economic forum and today we'll hear from a number of economists and kind of thinkers about where the global economy is headed we'll have to see how much attention the eurozone captures though because there really has overshadowed a lot of other things that happened on the official and unofficial agenda here at davos we heard from a number of euro zone finance ministers and e.u. officials speaking with a lot of optimism about the euro zone solution saying they believe the fiscal compact will be reached with tighter fiscal discipline in that this will really help the debt crisis that the euro zone is dealing with they also said that greek bond holders will come to an agreement on haircuts for greek debt by this weekend to hopefully presumably avoid default which is definitely not a certain thing at all and that d.-day for greece is march twentieth after that optimism which was kind of the headline coming out of that we hasn't seen fitch the credit ratings agency downgrade five e.u.

nations this includes italy and spain which are two of the economies that are very much of the biggest concern when you're talking about the eurozone debt crisis because they are much larger economies than greece they're both dealing with problems of their debt and of the funding of their debt which we've seen a lot of discussion here at davos over what is the best way to deal with we know george soros has his own plan i don't know if european union leaders are calling him now to take another look at it after these downgrades that something will have to watch for today well i miss mccrae chief economic correspondent of the u.k.'s independent newspaper believes that bruce is effectively already in default and that the cascade is imminent. i don't think you have to be a whiz at math to figure out that it's not just the indebtedness of some countries but also the euro oh the common currency is a single currency for an area where some countries need a devaluation i don't know whether technically greece is going to be in default or

not but if you're repaying thirty or forty cents in the euro your debt and the write down is going to something like that could be for you to say forty if you're lucky thirty if you're unlucky reacted any rational six b. is a country defaulting on its debts and whether technically that is or whether it take it seems to me to be not that relevant because once you've dealt with greece ok you try and have to put a fireball behind that but people may say look if i'm not going to get my money back on greece why should i learn to portugal why should i lend to spain why should i lend to italy. still to come few in the program russia's future than host city turns to overshadow its most famous your unit ski resort competitors to entice fans of winter sports action. millions of india's local retail shop owners struggle for survival is

build up its domestic multi brand retail sector before allowing foreign competition into the country but now politicians argue that it might be the perfect time for foreign companies to enter india's five hundred ninety billion dollar retail sector the politicians behind the push say that farmers can make more money and consumers will pay less for food if the stores are allowed into india these retailers could provide organization to india supply chain by cutting out unnecessary middlemen president obama and other western leaders have also been putting pressure on india to allow their stores to open in the country arguing that they could provide jobs to millions of indians but small business owners still argue that it's an idea that would jeopardize their way of life. once the big stores open up small businesses will not be able to compete with them and they will find it hard to survive so this is a conspiracy against us to shut us down and open big shops but we will not allow this to happen in india
