diplomatic deadlock russia says no to regime change in syria as moscow slams the proposed u.n. resolution calling on president assad to step down. the water man of wiki leaks founder julian assange has to appeal to britain's supreme court against his extradition to sweden. and it is written israeli ad campaign in the u.s. backfires buying a version we insulting many jewish families across america. a fact will not be easy decision to impose and involved will not lead to skyrocketing oil prices all have the details on those oil think is in about twenty minutes time business but.

it's not am in the russian capital you're watching r t with miriam and joshua welcome to the program the u.n. security council has agreed at once to avoid military intervention in syria but differences remain over the way had the u.s. as well as its european and arab allies one president assad out of power for its part russia says the u.n. should be used as a platform for excessive interference in syrian affairs fortnight has the latest from new york. the united states france britain could talk are. all those countries supporting this draft resolution said that there would be no military intervention imposed in syria if the draft resolution was adopted but the most important thing to note is that those spearheading the push for this draft resolution are also calling for a ceasefire in syria and also calling for

a national dialogue between the government and opposition groups these steps these calls are calls that have been made by russia for the last few months russia has indicated on tuesday that it will veto a draft resolution on syria in which the attacks calls for imposes any regime change and leaves a rhetorical door open for military intervention similar to what the world saw transpire in libya the russian ambassador to the united nations vitaly churkin did address the security council indicating that russia is clearly committed to finding a peaceful solution to the ongoing conflict in syria but it is a solution that has to involve the syrian people not a solution that is imposed by outside forces take a listen to what he had to say this unity council cannot prescribe radio recipes

for. domestic political purposes it's not in the charter we don't want the security council to fall into the habit because once you start as difficult to stop then you will start telling what king needs to design and know what prime minister needs to step down this is really not the business of the security council moscow has proposed its own draft resolution on syria which calls for both parties participating in the violence to come to the negotiating. negotiating table and take part in a dialogue this is an invitation that russia recently made to representatives of the syrian government and opposition groups earlier this week to try to get them to come to moscow and participate in talks in the coming days the security council will be working to try to come to a consensus on the text of a resolution on syria but if the tax remains as it's been presented calling for

president bashar al assad to step down and leaving the door open for military intervention this is something that russia firmly will be opposed to bring aboard now reporting there now the west has made a habit of using the u.n. to illegalize its aims of regime change in other countries as peace activists jacob hornberger. that's the whole idea of these resolutions that they're no matter how tightly they are constructed they will always be construed to do whatever the u.s. government the british government want to do so one thing's for certain this is a problem for the syrian people to resolve not for the u.s. government the british government the united nations this is a problem for the syrian people so obviously that the main thrust of u.s. foreign policy is regime change we've seen them time and time again and they begin to sanctions those into embargos blockades but ultimately the quest is to remove

a recalcitrant dictatorship install a u.s. regime even if it happens to be a dictatorship so this is another classic example of where the u.s. is but in india other people's affairs when it really has no business doing so. coming up later here on our team and his guests on cross dog debate the hurdles in the way of breaking the deadlock on the syrian crisis. offered to host negotiations between all of the different parties and as we know the syrian national council you know one of the main opposition blocs has essentially rejected that offer possibly with some foreign encouragement behind them because one of the stipulations that they made one of the preconditions for the talks was that. should resign so they wanted on the old come the big ocean the

old come of the process as a preliminary condition and so the possibility of negotiations is very unlikely and from that point of view it's starting to resemble a bit what was happening in libya where the opposition consistently refused to engage in any sort of peaceful negotiations. well you can share your thoughts on this iteration in syria so log on to our website or get out on to take part in our online poll so this hour we have forty percent who say that it will answer with a russia china veto over a third of their spondon things the u.n. is simply being used by the west further aims in syria now less than a quarter believes it will finish what he continued u.s. efforts to overthrow the assad regime the minority thinks there will be agreement on the motion capture what is that are to let us know what do you think well while you are there you can also check out what else we have for you on line. enforcing

american laws with russian weapons us police will soon be using guns provided by the firm that makes kalashnikovs. also the final verdict is out on why russia's martial. mission probe. failed to get all the details. and the pill that could prevent a but find out why some medical experts believe it also and h.i.v. down. the u.k. supreme court is expected to consider an appeal by the wiki leaks founder julian assange against his extradition to sweden over allegations of sexual assault in

august the future of the world famous whistleblower is unclear as ever questions are being raised over sweden's legal system and its ties with the united states are just on barton has the details. the face that launched a thousand leaks julian a sundress exposure of tens of thousands of secret documents has embarrassed governments the world over but the wiki leaks phenomenon is no longer his most pressing concern. the person with the most pivotal role in in that historic event and then the there the questions of his sexual misconduct in sweden and. what kind of legal consequences that will have for him and those two stories have intrigue intersected in a kind of extraordinary melodrama. storage fees want to question

a songe over allegations of sexual assault dating back to august two thousand and ten prosecutors have been criticized by the sun just supporters and international civil libertarians with allegations of a cumbersome contradictory and slowly legal process huge. arguments have also broken out over the nature of some of sweden's laws on sexual offenses such as those a son faces which would not mean criminal charges in several european countries for example all of this has led to some question whether a sondre get a fair trial in sweden earlier this month it's going to be closed course and leading up to the trial is going to be held. well the cheap prosecutor asked for him to be held in solitary confinement it's just. so there are so many bizarre aspects to the wine which the man that is being conducted up till now. from our perspective i just can't see how he would get a fair trial others have gone beyond legal arguments saying the storm raised by our

sons through wiki leaks has made him a target for political interference that has been received with anger by figures in sweden's legal establishment political reasons are ridiculous i am very very tired of hearing anything about that but because so many statements has been have been made in london and elsewhere about political reasons and that is ridiculous nothing less than ridiculous but others point to wider trends trends as wide as those washed over by the wiki leaks flood itself across the atlantic us all thora t's enraged at having their secret documents exposed may seek to have a son extradited there to stand trial but surely sweden's famed neutrality would stop such a thing i would disagree as to whether certain is an outright country sit in at

a very clear cut. proximity and collaboration even. in military operations with such campaigns initiated by nature for instance. so its presence in afghanistan you have a clear cut. it brought nato policy want it back to sweden and that is not to try to do with some u.s. politicians branding a son a cyber terrorist and calling for the death penalty it could get a lot worse for the wiki leaks founder and that brings us back to that website its enemies and its supporters the problem is not that we have too much wiki leaks we have too little. i think most people agree with us for who is a national public in the polls indicate that very large majorities applaud

and support the efforts of. the why do worry is that with or without julian asuncion governments around the world with something to hide will now launch full scale assaults on internet freedom in order to keep their secrets secret but for now the focus is on the man not his website cheering us on just connections with sweden have raised many questions about what really happened in august two thousand and ten but now with the sun just future as uncertain as ever questions are being leveled at sweden's legal system and its relationship with the united states which could prove crucial to the fate of the world's most notorious whistleblower tom watson r.t. stockholm sweden. so i have three of us our here in our campaign full of controversy find out why and fear in the balance paid for by the israeli government have left millions of american jews feeling insulted.

killing well one of. the street. a little out of the bully will never use the weapons for self defense but we should be prepared for class including teacher assemblers. seventeen students. and one of the largest so. wealthy british style. is not on. the. market. scandal. find out what's really happening to the global economy in the kinds of reports on our culture is that so much to know there's a huge decision on the mark with siri on the brink violence escalates in the same battle country the calls for strong sanctions and even a military intervention grow in intensity.

welcome back here with our team now iran says it's held three days of constructive talks with inspectors from the un's nuclear watchdog the i.a.e.a. is attempting to verify the peace will interrupt iran's atomic program the west has recently stepped up economic sanctions against the islamic state suspecting it. developing nuclear weapons washington's intelligence chief has warned of an increasing likelihood that iran could attack america or its allies the u.s. is beefing up its military presence in the persian gulf by sending a third aircraft carrier to the region former cia analyst ray mcgovern says people have been misled into thinking iran is a clear and present danger. if you look at the polls seventy percent of the american people believe that he run already has a nuclear weapon that's exactly the same percentage of people in two thousand and

two who were persuaded by what i call reform in corporate media to believe that saddam hussein was working to clear weapons it's bizarre what do the defense ministers of america and israel say they say the reading is working on a nuclear weapon know if the marines were working on a nuclear weapon they would have to kick you at spector's he would know that and they don't want that at all they are not working on a nuclear weapon they have not yet decided to do so so the facts or the finance ministers both intelligence agency the way they say it is they have not yet decided to nuclear weapons will that means to me simple english means they're not worth you know nuclear weapons going to war if. contrived if you have to take five steps back and say what is this whole about this is about a nuclear capability. it was about regime change and ad

campaign in the u.s. paid for by the israeli government has angered many jewish americans throughout the country the commercials were designed to encourage israeli jews to return to their roots suggesting that americans jewish culture has weakened but as policy or reports the ads seem to have done more harm than good. the big commons could be the family featured in an advertisement recently pulled from american t.v. goal israeli marry to board an american jewish woman what it was saying is that my husband shouldn't have married me but the emotional response was just ouch. this is one of three ads sponsored by the israeli government and eight across the united states that evoked more than just an ouch from american jews when who is really grandparents ask what festival it is the american granddaughter happily answers christmas instead of the jewish festival of honey the implied suggestion was that jewish identity has been diluted in america and that angered many jews who live

there. american support cannot the loads of points two. missiles and so for them. shows a toddler calling daddy daddy to his napping is really expected father who finally wakes up only when he son switches to hebrew american jews felt insulted by the suggestion that israeli jewish identity was more pure than american jewish identity but i think that that's really what bothered me about the ads is that they came from a place of almost fear mongering you know they were almost kind of trying to scare people who are living here israelis who are living here the ads were designed to encourage israelis living in the united states to come home but critics complained they smacked of arrogance ignorance and cultural disrespect for america instead of giving positive reasons for expects to return to israel they fail to address why many had left in the first place i think a lot of american jews look to going on in israel what's developing in the

parliament particular in the field is truly alienated from that and they say to themselves this is not the israel that we love where this is not israel that we want to defend american jewry has always been more liberal than israeli society they traditionally voted democrat and often open to a list off the docks practice of judaism then the israeli counterparts for years a rift has been growing between the two much of it based on the aggressive policies of tel aviv towards gaza and the occupation these really palestinian conflict still shows no signs of compromise and consecutive israeli governments have been unable or unwilling to reach agreement with the palestinians. even many american jews feeling more and more alienated from israel does some of what's going on in the israeli public sphere troubled some north american jews troubled them very very greatly i have no question but that's the case since the late one nine hundred sixty s. israel has built hundreds of thousands of homes here in the whispering more than

half a million people now live in situations and just this month to live announced it was issuing tenders for goods to be built across the green line evoking anger and condemnation from the international community. as many as a million twenty eight israelis live outside the country in the last five years the number of people who choose to leave the holy land has outpaced those wanting to come and live in israel and although the ads are no longer on the air the reasons that they provoked such a better place in the first place are far from resolved. television. now let's take a look at some other stories from around the world dozens of people were injured in clashes outside egypt the parliament in cairo where protesters have gathered to demand it and to military rule they were stopped from breaching the doors of the building by supporters of the muslim brotherhood which holds the majority of seats tensions are high between islamic supporters and protesters who accuse the movement of siding with the military i'm betraying the revolution that toppled former president hosni mubarak one year ago. at least ten people are missing after

a cargo ship capsized off the coast of turkey the cambodian registered vessel was sailing from russia to turkey's port but sank off the town before reaching its destination two crewmembers have been rescued and search teams are continuing to look for those still missing authorities say it's likely the storm caused the ship to tilt to one side and take on water. you as presidential hopeful mitt romney has recorded a convincing victory in the republican primary in florida romney claimed forty seven percent of the vote. it was rival newt gingrich on thirty two percent after a majority of votes were counted the largest primary election season so far follows a series of televised debates and advertising romney's campaign team is spent more than fourteen million dollars on. leave sixty people have died and you were

after a deep freeze and wizard swept the region the dropping temperatures has prompted several countries to deploy the army and set up emergency shelters the highest death tolls in ukraine where thirty people died after temperatures hit minus thirty three weather forecasters say the subzero conditions are expected to last until friday. well it's everywhere now let's take a look at what's happening in the world of business here is katie. hello there welcome to the program the chiefs have not spot warnings from the use decision to impose an ball globally to skyrocketing over prices you can i say things affect price for a brand should be about one hundred dollars david global. industry research is says the worry is not so much crude prices will hit one hundred fifty dollars a barrel bought the full. most of the people we've talked to in the market don't

expect oil to get anywhere near hundred fifty anytime soon i in fact the concern is really rather that oil will fall below that saudi arabia which of course has the greatest reserves of oil it can bring to market in the event of a disruption has made constant assurances that it's going to be able to fill any gap left by the iranians even if they attempt to close down the strait of hormuz which looks increasingly unlikely as the weeks go by right now there appears to be plenty of supply available in the event of a disruption and of course there's a lot of stock to hand as well a lot of countries have been busily stockpiling crude oil and they've been well aware of tensions ruptured for the better part of the year now so the market is positioning itself to withstand the supply shock so much so it might be oversupply the short term a lot of watchers are concerned that the price of all my fall rather than rise it may be be a case of being a little bit over prepared here for what might come to pass. ok let's see what's happening with all of the my meds crude is trading near its lowest price and more

than a week that system on fuel is slipping in the u.s. a report by the energy department for costs to show higher crude supplies adding pressure on all that was said government statements that consumer confidence is falling a business activity is tailing and the world's biggest criticism of us of course and let's see how the equities are getting on asian stocks are trading at flat supposedly if still with china's growth under the trade a spotlight after china's manufacturing industry has unexpectedly expanded last month while consumer confidence and business out to agree to close and yes i was saying trailed s. no so there's a mix of failing that that investors got to digest today and as you can say both the nikkei and the hang seng are up just have a society just a notch there. and it's now one hour ahead of the bell here in moscow there are some mock markets posted gains on cheese day the l.t.s. rose two percent while the mice aches and did more than one has said high. looking

ahead to the coming days trade session then some monday from a criticize after strong will start to begin caution is the better part of the heart. of how to get ready for a russian backed sources that we can so you know i would be quite cautious bearing that in mind and i would be looking for companies that display a few characteristics that generate free cash flow positive and have generate generate money. that don't have a lot of don't pay a dividend yields to the best of the have lots of liquids you're quite safe so for me companies like. difficulty for this kind of environment are quite safe stocks like my part of problems if it comes to us displays all those defensive characteristics and that's a source of probably part of this. the wind of change is coming to the global economy a new report by saxo bank says the crisis will reach a peak this year i'm provoked major changes in the structure of the financial

system in the opinion of the bank further state intervention only finds diminishing returns with the on able to solve the debt crisis so buying preachings european stocks markets will dive twenty five percent the eurozone will show growth this year with the global g.d.p. to increase just the reef a sense we all thought of the report steam jacobson explains the west's apart cash in the current situation. in my opinion my personally i have fifty percent in cash twenty percent in gold and then i have thirty percent in corporate bonds and that is said divided into two currency parts one with fish to send in dollars and one fifty percent in scandinavia and swedish kronor in terms of whether as a class i like i like bonds because bond in itself is a put on the a good team or a good word you see the stock market goes down the bond goes up the one place in the market which is the biggest capital dislocation is in the corporate bond market

so in the corporate bond market you can buy yields of ten fifteen percent in currencies like swedish kronor and that's why i think the real gains would be these here you should be both be taken care of the currencies but you're also certainly be investing because in terms of crisis you have the greatest opportunities. so for now next hour have the is for the russian markets to me that's fifty five minutes i'll buy that.

looming.
