for fifteen members to agree on does some kind of solution i wouldn't use the word solution but i would use the word approach but now you're absolutely right the only occasion on which the security council was entirely on the same page insofar as developments in syria are concerned was on third august two thousand and eleven under the indian presidency when the council accepted adopted f.b.i. state that statement is a fairly strong statement it calls on the government in damascus to walk back from the use of force against its own civilians equally sends a message to the opposition to stop the armed insurrection and to enter into dialogue with the government and extends both sides to you know negotiate and go down the path of reform after the unanimous passage of this b.r.s.

deal on third august another attempt was made this time exactly two months later the council is faced with the situation with two permanent members of the security guards of course one side the resolution two others vetoed it russia and china russia and china and the fifty member in the light of some aggressive public speaking in the open chamber the. i get states walked out now the reason the council has not been on the same page is because i think as long as the council is in a position to address the recommendation to both sides in a conflict i think you would get agreement but if the council wants to address its recommendation to one side that is the government and is not willing to encourage the opposition to come to the negotiating table then you've got a council recommendation which clearly is not acceptable to some members what we need to do on syria clearly is to realize that the situation there is spiraling out

of control that syria is a sweetener this case that unraveling of the situation in syria will have very serious consequences for the other countries in the region. that unlike libya. the consequences would be far higher i'm not suggesting that what happened in libya is not seen as enough but talking of libya i must tell you one of the difficulties that we are having insofar as the situation in syria is concerned is that the security council's expedience in respect of resolutions nine hundred seventy and seventy three on libya. vitiated and the atmosphere in terms of the approach to words how to deal with the situation in syria it is reported that in the coming days the security council will be possibly voting on a resolution drafted by western countries on syria calling in part for the for the

assad government to surrender its powers given the dynamic of the security council right now the positions being taken by the numbers do you think this resolution will be adopted let me answer your question without reference to a particular. resolution if the proposition were to be advanced that somebody should have a power. in other words a. regime change proposition i think some members of the council including my own delegation would have a lot of difficulty with that they thought i'd like to see how that is scotched if for instance the call is for political dialogue between the government and the opposition that's something we could support if the demand is for. you know at judging violence reform and negotiations we can support that if as a result of those negotiations there's a political formula which is that we can result in power sharing or this thing

that's an entirely different matter but this is something for the people of syria to determine i mean as a matter of principle i have a lot of difficulty with people advocating that reordering of the. it is as my prime minister put it in his statement to the general assembly in september the reordering of societies from outside using military force now that's something i have serious objection to russia has proposed a draft resolution on syria when i was quite we were quite comfortable with the russian draft resolution we thought it was a good basis for seeking consensus in the council but i think some of our friends from the western countries had some difficulties with it because it did not contain the course of our punitive measures that they were seeking so that's why you think the west bank i think that's a bit aside as i normally you know i think the russian resolution is still around it's not been put on that it's not been put in blue but it's still very much on the table i want to ask you about libya because that was the first time the u.n.

security council used the responsibility to protect doctrine it was invoked how come the security council does not feel that the united nations has a responsibility to protect those in syria is it because of what transpired in libya first let's discuss responsibility to protect you know the r two p. has three pillars below which says that it is the responsibility of every state to prevent its citizens from being subjected to mass crimes bill or two states that in the case of countries where the institutions of the state either nonexistent or whether they're under strain and the state does not have the capacity to carry out below one functions then the international community has the responsibility to help with technical assistance the problem comes in pillar three which. when it was adopted was clearly in the minds of some new to blanche or

a doctrine for humanitarian intervention in other words if you find in a country x. things are not working you can put together a military force and go and occupy it now that i think is absurd insofar as the implementation of nine hundred seventy three is concerned it uses words all means necessary now all means necessary is a cord for military action so we sat that in that room as consenting adults and we realized that what we and we consciously authorized. military actions would have to take place on that there is no doubt but what kind of military action yes you need to use to get involved they would have to take measures in order to enforce a no fly zone that resolution one hundred seventy three also speaks of cease fire and when we tried to invoke the cease fire provisions some of the countries which were not in the military operation said that they did not want to consider the

possibility of a cease fire to liturgy had been. you know dislodged so then it became a mission for regime change well that's an interpretation you could put on that and that's what some people are saying now i'm not saying that it was done for it but i'm saying but that's what it amounts to in the end but there's a more even more serious issue. resolution one hundred seventy three specifically they refer to an arms embargo but that resolution was interpreted as some people said well it means you can carry out military operations against gadhafi but arms embargo does not prevent you from arming the rebels now i find that situation unacceptable so let's be very careful before we can walk concepts and doctrine like to be yes the libyan experience will continue to guide people now whether that should or should not be that is depends on how what kind of resolution the council is faced with will we see an afghanistan or iraq like scenario possibly unfold in

libya with the benefit of hindsight one can begin to have those concerns you're absolutely right i mean the situation in iraq now is extremely. i would say it's untenable the number of deaths which are occurring on which information which is in the public domain and one begins to wonder as to what we what the international community has got and of course in fairness there was no security council authorization for that action but in the case of libya where there was ostensibly a security council action i don't think with the passage of time when historians get to write on and there's going to be agreement on whether resolutions nine hundred seventy and seventy three interpreted implemented in the manner that they had been intended to i think the jury's out on that and i personally have a lot of difficulty i'm speaking on my in my personal behalf i have very great difficulty. being confronted with

a situation where the security council cannot act on its own a resolution which calls for a ceasefire i have very often taken the lead in the council to say that words have meanings and therefore when we agreed to a form of words or a set of words we should be cleared amongst ourselves as to what it is that we are agreeing to. and you know the imposition of the will of those who have. you know military clout etc you know it appears that in the context of the moment on the context of the immediate crisis that is a approach that would be adopted in the long run these things don't work i mean let's look at the issue of radicalization i mean we all know all what happens when military operations stick you end up producing a more radicalized response to it i think i've got a stand as

a case in point iraq is a case in point and i'm not a suit set but i'm a student of history and international relations i would be surprised if the libyan experience does not result in a more radicalized response from within libya has it is used to. recruit from libya and there are all kinds of studies in which the intelligence community which the you know strategic community and the think tanks are now putting together you know what's happening the militias when they come across a cache of alms they don't surrender it to a central authority it strengthens our now we realize that there isn't into them set up there we realize that they need time so we will support that but you need to keep your fingers and toes all crossed to ensure that you know the final situation months down does not look. worse than what what what we

had earlier investor pretty thank you very very much thank you you thank. i am. as was shot four times in total in the air war as it were and. three of the boys are still in my body. and those people should be allowed to defend themselves wherever they are guns in the hands of law abiding decent people are not a problem national rifle association there's a group of basically retired military we love to shoot holes and i'm sorry if you know that the bullet comes out here and this makes it go

bang and if what's in front of here is going to die that's all the training you really really need raise your hand if you know something's been. ok to what i want to philadelphia on these urban streets. to live without a gun hopefully we will never have to use the weapons for self defense but we should be prepared in a full class including the teacher i think was. seventeen students. and one or seven or still. more news today violence is once again flared up. and these are the images. from the streets of canada. china operations are the day.

diplomatic deadlock russia says no to regime change in syria as moscow slams a proposed u.n. resolution calling on president assad to step down the kremlin is warning against using the world body to impose outside interest on the syrian people. we can make founder julian assange to appeal to britain supreme court against his extradition to sweden just wanted for questioning over alleged sex offenses which he denies claiming the allegations against him are politically motivated. and it was really an ad campaign in the u.s. backed by inadvertently insulting many jewish families across america causing the commercials to be pulled off the air the ads have been criticized for trying to scare israeli jews into returning home. the top stories here in our sports next with andrew.

hello there thanks for watching and here's what is coming up over the next few minutes done deal russia strike overall manpower to change their signs for a lot of much of moscow from tottenham on the last day of the transfer window. shopping act completes his move from start to full and to also boost his chances of playing for russia the european championships. and media circus n.f.l. stars face the press ahead of the sunday super bowl between the patriots and the giant. now let's start with the news that russian striker roman pavlyuchenko has joined lokomotiv moscow from tottenham hotspur for a free of thirteen million dollars to thirty year old had failed to establish himself as a first team regular at since his move there in two thousand and eight spot at moscow but still managed to score forty two goals and one hundred thirteen

appearances for the north london club said the move back to russia was driven by his desire to play football well also on the move as another russian striker have a good at me ak the twenty eight year old has been signed by english premier league side for them from bonus league outfit stuttgart where any scored fifteen times in sixty eight appearances but he hopes this move will rejuvenating is for me in front of goal and increase his chances of playing for his country at the european championships this summer. meanwhile after saying he would quit is manager of group b. day it has been persuaded to stay in charge of the russian premier league side for the time being at least the fifty nine year old allegedly wanted to quit after disputes with the management over budget and transfer policies however the club's board of trustees turned down his offer of resignation but dave says he will now remain in charge until a meeting between the club's president and the president of tartus stand which will decide the long term spending plans for the club but there has managed the side for

the. last eleven years winning two russian prime elite titles. now in england there were no there's no major transfer activity for the big clubs on what was a busy night of premier league action league leaders manchester city slid against everton losing one the united to join them at the top of the table after that you know when i was at old trafford tottenham meanwhile stated after a three one win over wigan fourth place chelsea grabbed a point it's one of the well liverpool are in the top five after their three north thrashing of struggling balls. well there was some movement in the transfer market so let's catch up with that last night sunderland sign manchester city left back wayne bridge online until the end of the season and everton striker hot has gone to top them for the remainder of the season for them agreed to sell some more to queens park rangers with just over six million dogs. to cycling now russia's top scene could have got a significant reinforcement and set their eyes on the most prestigious titles for

the upcoming season daniel has more. all of the glue on the greatest roots of the most prestigious cycling events since two thousand and nine when they were launched the two should have been deployed over a shot in the scored sixteen victories and with two hundred boardrooms that's what the team have achieved so far nevertheless ahead of their fourth season but to show aiming to take it to the next level there was likely given by the sponsors we saw first the olympics the world championships but the sport as relatives the targets you cannot make a team with this quality and say the tour de france doesn't interest me but we have the olympics focusing on it and there are only all four years olympics but this is one of the most goals here on the other hand it's my my aim and it's my work. work also for the russian cycling for the young writers so you must understand this

is approach as a whole project fulfilling those kinds of tasks takes elite riders and headed to see people close to their worst or here comes the first one of the most feared sprinters in the business three time world champion going freighter in. i'm very happy to be part of this team first of all cut to show represent such a huge country in russia and what was at the international cycling arena and it's a big honor for me this team is very strong and has huge potential to improve meaning a great deal of opportunity for me to play more wins in my professional career meanwhile that uses biggest breezy sunny in his being sure he's the only one of the team who have tasted only three at the world's three major events the thirty four year old russian proved to be the best at the jury d'italia in two thousand and nine and twice at the bull market was i think. it's pretty horrible.

this is. one of the best russian either so i think it's it's logical so. i think for me oh also it gives more moral some more power and a more ambition a smaller more mature way sion for for next season with how we're left to go before there's some relief it's long been rushed looks like the dream and top side with. their interests the combination tour and the olympic games. it's going to shock because. anyway if you're finished during the good shape you're going right during the games in the same level if you are from years of touring. and maybe a little all in all you're going to improve in two weeks or in but i think you're will have for enough but i will too will complete the olympics knowing and well

that you should look to have everything needed to make this year one of the most if not the most successful russian side of it on your own feet. remark as it stands cycling team star now have announced their lineup for the new season and it includes promising young cyclists alongside their seasoned leader alexander vinokourov he's back after breaking a leg during last year's tour de france but says this will probably be his last season and he will bow out after the lympics. moving on to motor sport where formula one supremo bernie ecclestone is pushing hard to keep russian driver vitaly petrov in the sport ahead of the new season that picture of has been frozen out of the lotus ren eighteen who is now hired former world champion can be right in and by the russians manager of santa claus a change that says ecclestone is keen for petrol to stay in formula one the eighty one year old wants to promote the sport in russia and sochi will host the country's first grand prix in two thousand and fourteen when more petrol three finish tenth

in last season's championship the night he joined the katherine or that is signed for ferrari. while former force india driver sequel is also with that in f one driver at the moment while the german is also just been handed an eighteen month suspended sentence for last year's brawl with lotus ran over eric looks suitably spang guilty of cutting looks in the neck with a champagne glass at a nightclub in shanghai after the chinese grand prix in may and will also pay a fine and more than two hundred fifty thousand dollars. now the clock ticking down to sunday's super bowl the new england patriots and new york giants have held their annual press day and revealed kay fact is which could determine who will be crowned champions the media day has a circus like atmosphere with plays and coaches fielding hundreds of questions from hundreds of journalists the giants the fate of the patriots in the super bowl final in two thousand and eight and the spy winning ten straight games coming into this

final the patriots know they'll have to be flawless against a very strong giants' defense not put even more pressure on you england star tom brady. i'm going to make sure i don't throw any interceptions i make sure i play try to play really well. they're a good team i mean i think that's that's why they're here they force you into a lot of mistakes. but we can't go out there and make mistakes and expect to win we got to go out there and play a very clean game. brings us the end of the sport seth and i mean but the weather coming up next. culture is that so much different and there's a huge music to share my time from the marlins three on the brink highlands escalates in the same battle country the calls for strong sanctions and even a military intervention grow in intensity.

old means of protection can be used. when global supremacy. between two thousand and five and two thousand and nine us is spent fifteen billion dollars in the price to pay for the entire program that we are dealing with right now here in two thousand and eleven is another hundred and fifty billion dollars that's larger than many country's entire military budgets twenty things becomes the best form of.

it was shot four times in total. war as it were and. sort of the boards are still

in my body. and people should be allowed to defend themselves wherever they are guns in the hands of law abiding decent people are not a problem national rifle association was. basically retired military we love to shoot holes and i'm sorry if you know that the bullet comes out here and this makes it go bang and if what's in front of here is going to die and that's all the training you really really need raise your hand if you know something's been shot. a little what i want to philadelphia owners over streets. tell a lot of hopefully we will never have to use the weapons for self defense but we should be prepared a full class including the teacher i think was. seventeen students. and one of seven or so.
