deputy while a unity government is formed and prepared for new elections now according 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 deep disappointment with the 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 being 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 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. it is such a thing that russia and china 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 well antiwar activist and blogger doand abbas says the latest draft resolution circulating at the u.n. security council doesn't uphold the rights 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 in libya and they 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 if 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. that are alarming reports from syria with opposition activists caning that more than sixty people have been killed in the latest outbreak of violence that's against a backdrop of the reports of the violence of syrian regime fighters towards the temple to mask this and while some see it as a sign of liberation. discovered inane unconvinced. a clear message from the protesters in this damascus as a funeral takes place. we don't want killing bill we don't want the. globe

see. children killing we don't read them we don't know what we will do you have to live. here i mean 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 mainly army defectors who say its presence here is enable protests like these to go ahead. 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 cools the foreign military intervention. to say far we did partnerships with any other opposition elements differs significantly inside the country and the national khuda nation council one of the leading opposition groups remains adamant that foreign military

intervention would make an already to tear erasing situation even worse a whole lot of security positions cost some are used 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 quote includes the direct u.n. involvement russia and china remain firmly opposed to a resolution that would leave the door open to foreign military intervention and in a far cry from previous coups that dialogue qatar and saudi arabia now talk to the opposition and they've listed the past even more lives say many nice things to find for. two groups you have to work with the other side's 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 main square here in town where the people come out and protest every evening the security forces try to come in but we protect them but this is what's happening here that it remains a precarious situation in the moments of confusion the crowd gets nervous and starts to run one point. still says where they've come from or from i know you can't believe it that a lot of confusion here on the face even if you're reading in a different direction not exactly sure what's going on that really you know as safe situations very right now and all of this happening just fifteen minutes from the city center is just a day before it's a government demonstrations so position can show continues to gain ground the divisions within the country have never been clear a. good. idea.

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 experts saying the scale of public dissent has managed to make more soldiers nervous the government was promoting itself as being modern as. people probably internet and people trying to keep them accountable so when they discover that the government is supporting something reactor it was purely political answer to no we don't believe in any more of this but this considers the harm governments are pretty steadily. their point of view your day tactic and the and all that they might not ratify 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 the polish

and european parliament nobody knows for sure how long this might take but protesters say they will continue pilings the pressure on the authorities to stop this happening i think it came as a complete shock nobody expected nobody expected. this going to think i think there will be a lot. of these two weeks i think because. i think how long it will take to actually. prime minister to has been adamant war so would not give in to and to blackmail in the streets 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 poland. well domenica from the health foundation for human rights says that governments

right now what is going on with iran is that they there is an existential threat to the government there 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 want to stop its nuclear program 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 this government or coming up a little later in the program we hear from the people out on the streets of new york. most people are willing to take their daily behavior even though they only let the problem call them selfish you know they'd only care about the planet until until it affects them personally. americans ready to sacrifice their daily routines and they move environment we found out with our teams laurie huff missed. the euro is still taking a hammering fitch one of the big three credit rates has announced five more

downgrades for european economies that leaders struggle to soothe nerves on another front the debt crisis ravaging the road to top billing at the new world economic forum in davos auntie's lorna's to has more for us. 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 it really has overshadowed a lot of other things that have 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 eurozone 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 or a mish mccrae chief correspondent of the u.k. as independent newspaper believes that greece is effectively default and that's because it 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 four to say forty if you're lucky thirty if you're unlucky bracket 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 when i still to come few in the program russia's future than the city town of the shadow its most famous new in ski resort editors and entice fans

a decade ago economists here argue that the country needed at least five years to 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 dollars 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
