for new elections now quoting 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 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 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 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 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 went to work through don de bar nato has behavior in libya that makes countries like russia and china and syria that implies using military force. we saw how far they would go with libya they carried on a seven month massive bombing campaign that reduced the infrastructure of that

country to rubble practically which had been built up only in the last forty years and they installed a group of thugs that are so greedy that to kill each other now that the government has been swept out of the way there by nato the thing that the western powers want to see in this region is discord 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 secure 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 but the arab league is freezing its monitoring mission in syria because of the escalation of violence there more than one hundred people are thought to have been killed in clashes between syrian security forces and opposition groups in the past few days marty sara furthur has been to an area near damascus which was recently

taken over by rebel fighters and that she reports although the opposition is united against the regime they're polls apart on them. a clear message from the protesters in this suburb of damascus as a funeral takes place. we don't want killing we don't want the. globe see. children killing we don't read them we don't we will do you have to live. here i mean this this is going to be all come to us in our 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. 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 cools the foreign military

intervention. say far voided partnerships with any other opposition elements he sees 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 whole lot of security position has caused some areas to get out of control it 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 its 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 calls the dialogue qatar and saudi arabia no talk to the

opposition i mean this could cost even more lives to say many mislead to find rebel . 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 with the new way to protect civilians. who have this mean square here in town where the people come out and protest every evening for the security forces trying to come in but we protect them but this is what's happening here that 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 well from the oh yeah you could say that that a lot of confusion here on the face even if you're reading in the different directions it's not exactly sure what's going on at all that the you know as safe situations there right now and all of this happening just fifteen minutes from the city center

just a day before it seemed egypt the government demonstrations so position can show continues to gain ground the divisions within the country have never being clear. that only. that everybody got out and they are you. ok. i know i did. well sorry is keeping her blog updated our two dot com where she's posting extensively on the situation in syria where you're also find images from various parts of the country that made it to air the latest picture of the valuable so people rallying and. to massacre. down the official placation to i phone i pod touch from the top story. the job life on the. video on demand.

build costs and russians feeds now in the palm of your. machine. don't call. polish protesters are refusing to give up the fight over the piracy pact their countries signed up to more demos are planned against act of the multinational deal force and secrecy that activists say allows firms to censor the internet money of official resigned over the treaty which was signed by twenty two european countries this week that serious have to give reports from warsaw. a passer by from england confused scenes on friday in central warsaw with the filming of a sequel for the hollywood movie before. judging from the number of mosques men and cameras such resemblance was tangible the film character a forceful revolution these people are also 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 protests common it's a week of numerous mass rallies across the world with people protesting against internet censorship act it may have a positive people to act intellectual property but these protesters fear it will be used to police the web and take harmless websites offline. engineer martin says he's working under threat because of actors obscurity with the international pact worked out in complete secrecy issues with. legally censoring information the government. is very unclear the negotiations have lost since two thousand and four and 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 saying the scale of public dissent has managed to make more soldiers ruling elite nervous the government was promoting itself as being modern. people probably internet and people trying to keep them accountable so when they discover that the government is supporting something without it was purely political answer to no we don't believe this but this considers the harm governments are pretty steadily. their point of view already tactic and the and all that they may 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 and i think it came as a complete shock nobody expected this and nobody expected. this going to sink in so i think there will be a lot more they last for at least two weeks i think because. i think this is how long it will take to actually. prime minister to be adamant war so would not give in to and to blackmail in the streets but 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. reporting from warsaw in poland. but european liberty campaigner and. believes the polish government should have listened to the public because they're the web's real stakeholders. of

the way it was great it my prior lake those basic freedoms and your. use there without really actually the goodbye elaine or any of the internet and though the internet provider those companies which are taking advantage of the fear of the internet the first thing we should be aware of the. people are feeling that they were cheated by the government and that something is wrong that there were no compensation then there was no possibility of the day before or. for the signature of the document there were many afghans in the region. and who have the internet and every time people have the impression that the government is taking that without the basin without.

their now and the internet users here with r t just ahead how even the winter chills don't stop global warming getting people hot under the collar. they don't really care about the planet until until it affects them personally and the world we live in the president asked people in new york what they would sacrifice to save the planet. then we had data to sochi a scare of people flow through their paces for the first time before they welcome the winter olympics fight as in two years' time. the ratings firms keep running the blows on the beleaguered euro zone now such as downgraded five countries they include spain and italy which are the big worries because of their size if they fall ill leaders in case find as heroes are struggling to find a remedy to the debt crisis that the annual world economic forum or less star has more from dabs. 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 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. a correspondent for the british newspaper the independent believes greece has already succumbed to default in reality. i don't think you have to be a whiz at math to figure out that is not just the indebtedness of some countries of birth 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 for 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 that it 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. well later today the kaiser report takes a swipe at the politicians and bankers who aren't doing enough to reassure the markets and the people that recovery is around the corner. governor of the bank of england urged against despair because all crises come to an end eventually he says he looks pretty miserable doesn't think he should talk like usually very telling people don't despair you don't look like you're about to top yourself you try and have a smile and put a white cloud nose on really like

a burning out the clown those are always delivering that economic numbers vervain kangas got that british kind of in the bag have blitzed on gin luck which is not fooling anybody and of course the u.k. economy is contracting why because the debt in the banking sector continues to expand and nobody's doing anything about that mervyn king wake up. you're wrong is due to resume talks with u.n. nuclear inspectors in tehran this weekend in the first discussions of their kind in more than three years the country is also allowing a senior u.n. weapons expert to be part of the mission in iran's nuclear program is the main reason behind rising tensions with the west the most recent moves have seen the e.u. adopt a complete ban on rainy and oil imports from july but tehran's considering heading off the sanctions by cutting supplies to europe as early as next week global policy

consultant song told r.t. that by threatening to turn off the tap iran's hoping to soften the impact of sanctions. the calculus from iran's perspective is going to be if they preempted by cutting exports see forward the july first date that the e.u. has set for cutting exports and iran preemptively cuts its three four hundred thousand barrels worth 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 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 want to stop its nuclear program i think the real unwritten objective here is quite frankly in 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. taking a look now at other news from around the world this hour the supposed leader of the

violent nigerian islamist sect boko haram is threatening to kill more security personnel and kidnap their families in an audio recording he also accuses president barack obama of waging war on islam a week ago the group killed more than one hundred eighty people during a gun and bomb attack in a northern town. real long more widely enforced throughout my. police in senegal have fired tear gas at demonstrators rallying against the court's decision to allow their president to run for a third term protesters then threw rocks broke barricades and started fires presidents can see was in question because the constitution changed in two thousand just after he took office to impose a two term limit abdulai wave believes the law doesn't apply to him because he was elected before it came into effect. now the ski slopes of sochi are in place for the next winter olympics now comes the task to make sure they meet world class

standards the russian resorts facilities are hosting their first skiers and organizers hope it's all downhill from here as does belong explains. it's slow we unschooled in the caucasus mile but it's the hardest time for ski fans maybe like this couple even for almost for a superior for the season's grand opening in sochi. it's thirty snowing a month ago so much snow we wanted to write so badly and then we had this chance. super this is also cool to a brand new resort just off the black sea coast with a number just plan to check to ski fans who might otherwise prefer a winter break in france or switzerland kilometers those tracks but will be able to compete with many european resorts it means six to ten thousand tourists will be able to ski here to show you good and seasonal warm weather left a few foreign destinations a little high and dry but it meant steph here it was

a cougar became snowed under with work as skiers sold out new resorts just a little while and you. believed and everyone enjoyed. very positive feedback this morning yes that's true. but they're also cudos biggest test is yet to come in february and march was just a bounce for the two thousand and fourteen winter olympics it will mean two more just will be strictly are pissed but for now they're making the most of the snow the freedom and even the romance amid the russian winter it's green of their snow is soft and i was supposed to kiss and that's why i went down the hill so if you'll excuse me. r t sochi. well the snow is slow it's may bring skiers together but our fluctuating weather continues to divide others in the international community where harper has asked people in new york how far they're willing to go to cool down global warming.

today legislators are introducing more and more bills to help curb the effects of global warming what are you willing to do to help out this week let's talk about that would you be willing to not blow dry your hair anymore yes that i'd be willing to do would you be willing to dry your clothes on the line and never use a drag machine i don't know about that so it's a fad it depends would you be willing to change your behavior like say i walk into any destination that's under two miles instead of driving like what i'm doing today is a yes yeah yeah absolutely absolutely beside your virtual. well it's good what about showering for under a minute. i'm always. pretty much broke saw lots of the electrical. saves money don't become the postal is the clock on the marker or if you know do

you think most people are willing to change their daily behavior even though i'm a little proud to call them selfish you know they don't really care about the planet until until it affects them personally unfortunately that's the world we live in whether or not you're willing to change your energy consumption habits now the bottom line is you might just have to in the future if global warming continues to progress. well the march of the multinationals in india is threatening to wipe out millions of smaller grocery stores well it's likely to mean cheaper food and a jobs boost for the pre-packed food future when generations of local market traditions appreciate or discover. this dry food store has been set the end there saying chalons family for six generations it's one of the many small retail stores that have been operating in this market in old delhi for hundreds of years. six generations of our family grew financially and provided us with everything but now

sing chalons way of life could be at risk after years of pressure the indian government decided to allow foreign multibillion retailers the likes of tesco and wal-mart access to one of the fastest growing middle classes in the world until now india only allowed single brand foreign retailers like reebok to enter the country even though the indian economy opened up more than 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 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. the small business will be swallowed by will not like the way small fishes are written by the big fishes in the sea these small family run businesses will be completely destroyed jeopardizing the financial situation of families and children so for now however opposition within india has stalled the decision from. being finalized store owners like sing chauhan are watching the debate closely wondering if his family's business and the old delhi that he's known his whole life will suddenly change. this is an attempt to destroy even livelihood of the businessmen in india but we will not allow this to happen in india resisting

outsiders from potentially destroying his family's tradition preassure there are t.v. delhi india. well mine at ardsley dot com we've got the world covered there right now the toronto saurus that's terrorizes of this is what's creating visitors at the australian natural history museum but some of the kids clearly want their history a little less vivid they've got the prius start panic all mine also. blocked off and over look the american arrested for drunk driving but then held in solitary confinement it's nine doctors for two years without trial his story is that our team doctor. i'll be back with the headlines after a short break. new
