president bashar al assad to transfer power to his deputy while a unity government is formed and prepared for a new election is now courting to reports this 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 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 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 is something 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 wednesday were activist and blogger don de bar says the latest draft 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 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 dischord they obviously cannot occupy these territories after they conquer them 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 and whatever other objectives they have. well there are large reports coming from syria with opposition activists claiming that more than sixty people have been killed during the latest outbreak of violence that's against the backdrop of the reported vast arm syrian anti regime fighters towards the capital damascus and while some see it as a sign of liberation others as artists are first discovered remain unconvinced. a clear message from the praise test is this said the damascus as a funeral takes place. we don't want to linger don't don't we don't towards us oh

god see we also it's shouldn't killing we don't yes freedom we don't know what we will do you know to. live. here doing this and this is going to want to come to us so now they feel safety is being provided by the free syrian army think availability made up of many army defects is they could say its presence here is unable protests like these to go ahead it's. sad to say the military 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 of his safe are void of partnerships with any other opposition elements he sees significant inside the country and the national khuda

nation council were at 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 and it seems that there is a war between two groups outside the country and it's the syrian national council pitching itself as the main opposition but it 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 in a far cry from previous schools the dialogue in saudi arabia is no tool to the opposition and these this could cost even more lives to say many nice lead to find rebel groups who have to work with the other side working with.

the f.s.a. say they have little choice but to use weaponry to protect civilians. you have this main square here in town where 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 but it remains a precarious situation in a moment of confusion the crowd gets nervous and starts to run at one point gunshots. and where they come from or from. him. a lot of confusion here on the face even if you're running in a different direction. not exactly sure what's going on that the you know 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 government demonstrations so position can show continues to gain ground the divisions within the country have never been clearer surf city

syria. it's eight minutes past the hour coming up when pressure from the west backfires iran is set to hold oil supplies to the european union in a preemptive move that many believe the block's economy can't withstand. and we report on the struggle of the local food industry in india that went head to head with international superstore giants. thousands of people have gathered in warsaw to protest the signing of a new treaty enforcing intellectual property rights on the internet opponents say the international act to document is pure censorship and a violation of human rights marches alexy or some ski has been hearing the demands of the protesters first half. a passer by from england confused scenes on friday in central warsaw with the filming of a sequel for the hollywood movie. judging from the number of mosques and cameras so true semblance was tangible the film character forced the revolution these

people are all still standing for change to stop the anti counterfeit trade agreements act from becoming more in poland minus fifteen degrees centigrade is definitely not an excuse for thousands who gathered in central warsaw friday protests culminates a week of numerous mass rallies across the world with people protesting against internet censorship 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 he. work is under threat because of actors' obscurity with the international pact worked out in complete secrecy. with. the. legally censoring information. it's very unclear the negotiations have lost since two thousand and four. anything

unlike the week's massive 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 more souls the ruling elite 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. it was purely political no we don't believe in any more of this but this considers the harm governments are pretty steadily scene's their point of view already tactic and the 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 think i think there will be a lot more. because. i think. the. prime minister to be adamant war so. not given to anti acts of 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 alexi russia's key r.t. reporting from warsaw in poland. well done and you could become scar from the helsinki foundation for human rights as governments should communicate with users

to iran is ready to cut off oil supplies to europe as early as next week the move comes in response to the ego's ban on crude imports from iran due to be in force this summer but with oil prices already rising rapidly experts are warning that the actions of the e.u. could do the block more harm than good meanwhile a senior group of i.a.e.a. officials and weapons experts are preparing to meet in tehran they're due to arrive this weekend for the highest level talks over the iranian nuclear issue in more than three years global policy consultant says sankara monny told r.t. that my threatening to turn off the top for europe iran is helping to cushion the embargo blow. that calculus from iran's perspective is going to be if they preempted by cutting exports the forward to july first date the e.u. has set for cutting the exports and iraq principally cuts its three four hundred thousand barrels with the exports to the e.u. will it 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 the 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 right to stop its nuclear program the real unwritten objective here is quite frankly in the 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. there are thirteen live from moscow coming up in the program we hear from the people out on the streets of new york in the wake of a growing concern over quote warming. do you think most people are willing to change their behavior even though they believe it's a proud new calling selfish you know they don't really care about the planet until until it affects them personally. or are americans ready to sacrifice their daily routines and name the environment you can find out with our to use more harvest a bit later on our team. but euro is still taking

a hammer and through which one of the big three credit raters has announced five more downgrades for european economies that's a new leaders struggle to soothe nerves on another front but the crisis ravaging the eurozone took top billing at the annual world economic forum in davos and lyster is there. 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 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 big eurozone 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 by 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 at 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 hamish mcrae chief economic correspondent of the u.k.'s independent newspaper believes that greece is a fact of the already in default and that a cascade is imminent i don't think you have to be a whiz at math to figure out that is 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 your repay the thirty or forty cents in the euro your debt and the write down is going to something like that could be four to six forty if you're lucky thirty if you're unlucky us today any rational six b. is a country defaulting on its debts and whether technically that it is or whether it take it seems to me to be not that relevant because once you deal 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 learn to italy still to come for you in the program russia's future lympics house city plans to overshadow its most famous european ski resort competitors and entice
