welcome back here with thirty years a look at the top stories 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's warning against using the world body to impose outside interest on the syrian people. we hear leaks founder julian assange just to appeal to britain supreme court against his extradition to sweden a son has wanted for questioning over alleged sex offenses which he denies claiming the allegations against him are politically motivated. and an israeli ad campaign in the u.s. backed by you know virtually insulting many jewish families across america causing the commercials to be pulled off air ads have been criticized for trying to scare

israeli jews into returning home. dexterity talks to the indian ambassador to the united nations who outlines what he thinks the international community needs to do to resolve the crisis in syria and other arab nations. marty sitting down with mr hardeep think poori the indian ambassador to the united nations ambassador pouri thank you very much for sitting down with r.t. i'd like to begin with syria because that seems to be a great point of contention within the u.n. security council not the last and the only time that council reached any type of consensus on the conflict in syria was nearly six months ago it was under your presidency of the security council a presidential statement was issued in august why has it been so hard since that 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 you know 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 it be honesty 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 extend its board 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 where two permanent members of the security guards of course sponsored the resolution two others vetoed it russia china russia and china and the fifteen member in the light of some aggressive public speaking in the open chamber the. right 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 that 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 sweet generous 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 serious enough but talking of libya i want to 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 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 know the 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 of joining violence reform and negotiation that we can support that if as a result of those negotiations there's a political formula which is that we do results in power sharing 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 this. 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 going to day in because 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 the 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 or to 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 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 there 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 try to invoke the cease fire provisions some of the countries which were annoyed in the military operation said that they did not want to consider the possibility of a cease fire to liturgy and had been. 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 refer to an arms embargo but that resolution was interpreted as some people say 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 to be yes the libyan experience will continue to guide people now whether that should or should not be that is depends on what kind of resolution the council is faced with we'll 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 and which are information which is in the public domain and one begins to wonder as to what we what the international community has gotten of course in fairness there was no security comes a lot of isolation 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 been great difficulty. being confronted with a situation where the security council cannot act on its own

a resolution which calls for a cease fire 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 could 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 to stand as a case in point here doc is a case in point and i'm not a suit 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 arms 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. as for shot four times in total in the air war as it were in. syria the boards are still in my body. and people should be allowed to defend themselves wherever they own guns in the hands of law abiding decent people are not a problem national rifle association there's a group of basically retired military police love to shoot holes in 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. ok a little i want to philadelphia the streets. and tell a lot of hopefully we will never have to use the weapons for self defense but we should be prepared the full class including the teacher as it was. seventeen students. and one of seven or still. a soulless substance. but this can a touch like a well trained. religious in ruins. for thailand where time stands still. all becomes a scene of nothing. the mysterious sons of russia.

are to. 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's warning against using the world body to impose outside interest on the syrian people. leaks founder julian assange has to appeal to britain supreme court against his extradition to sweden just want to for questioning over alleged sex which he denies claiming the allegations against him are politically motivated. and an israeli ad campaign in the u.s. backfires by inadvertently insulting many jewish families across america many have criticized the commercial saying they use scare tactics to encourage israeli jews to return to their roots. more on this story in about fifteen minutes time here in r.t. before that though we'll take

a look what's happening in sports. hello there welcome to the sport here in r.t. and these are the headlines done deal russia strike obama probably changes signs from lokomotiv moscow from tottenham on the last day of the transfer window. while the let me act completes his move from stood guard to for them to also to cease chances of playing for russia the european championship. itself l stars face the press ahead of sunday's super bowl between the patriots and the giants. let's start there with the news that russia strike over a man public has joined lokomotiv moscow from tottenham hotspur for a fee of thirteen million dollars the thirty year old had failed to establish himself as a first team regular at spurs since his move there in two thousand and eight from spartak moscow but still managed to score forty two goals in one hundred thirteen

appearances for the north london club said that the move back to russia was driven by his desire to play for football but also on the move is another russian help it could have knack the twenty eight year old has been signed by english premier league side for him from bundy's league outfit stuttgart he'd only scored fifteen times in sixty eight appearances for them but hopes this move will rejuvenate his form and increase his chances of playing for his country at the european championships this summer. meanwhile after saying he would quit as manager of ruby the day of has been persuaded to stay in charge of the russian premier league side for the 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 they have says he will now remain in charge until a meeting between the club's president and the president of start is stand which will decide the long term spending plans for the club but there has managed the

side for eleven years winning two russian prime elite titles. in england there were there wasn't much transfer activity among the big clubs on what was a busy night of premier league action league leaders managed to sit up against everton their losing one nil manchester united to join them at the top of the table after that you know when i don't get old trafford tottenham meanwhile stated after a three one win over we're going to fall by chelsea grabbed a point against one of the well liverpool are in the top five after their three north rushing of struggling wolves well on wednesday arsenal could retain its spot with a win away bolton newcastle are on the same number of points is that going to travel to blackburn if you could climb out of the relegation zone tonight villa entertain q.p.r. sunderland could link the canaries into the temple and west brom travel to full of the russian public could bank use de de for the cottages after completing his transfer from still got yesterday. but i was just catching up on the main news in

the transfer market man city have taken on roma midfielder bizzaro on loan till the end of the season and have center left. on loan to sunderland while everton striker lisa hart has been flown back to the remaining games under the double scrutiny q.p.r. they've bought bobby zamora from poland for just over six million dollars and let's hear it will see say he's also on his way to keep the former liverpool and sunderland man back in the premier league after three years he has signed a two and a half year deal but over in spain the copa del rey has reached the semifinal stage with a headache build back taking a two one lead in their first leg against miranda's on tuesday while tonight barcelona travel to valencia for the start of their cattle and i seven points behind in the great billy title putting more pressure on faster pep guardiola he wants to get back to winning ways but he knows it will be tough against valencia.

is a very strong you know the. president is a huge this. will be to reach into the two will be the exception. now over to cycling where russia's top team could to share have got a significant reinforcement and have set their eyes on the most prestigious titles for the upcoming season or the daniel has more. all of the glue on the greatest suits of the most prestigious cycling learns since two thousand and nine when they were launched the two sure had been deployed over a shot in the sport sixty victories and over two hundred boardrooms that's what the team have achieved so far nevertheless ahead of their fourth season got to show aiming to take it to the next level b.s.i. clearly given by the sponsors we saw first the olympics the world championships but

the sport as well as gifts 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 writer so you must understand this is approach as a whole project fulfilling those kinds of tasks takes elite riders and added two superpowers to their last year here comes the first one of the most feared sprinters in the business three time world champion was going for a. sort of i'm very happy to be part of this team first of all cut to she represents such a huge country in russia 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 claim more wins in my professional career

yaki meanwhile that uses biggest precision cerny in his main show he's the only one of the team to have placed an overall victory 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. marketers i think. it's pretty horrible. as is. one of the other sort of think it's it's logical so. i think for me or so it gives more moral some more power no more ambitions more and more with your wish and for for next season with hope we are left to go before the summer olympics in russia jumps. and drops like these. there's interest the combination through the olympic games.

it's going to because. if you're finished good you're going right there in big games in the same level if you finish with two results. and maybe i'm a lawyer or you know if you're going to improve and to reach them but i think you're here for enough to compete in olympics good little that you should look to have everything needed to make this year one of the most if not the most successful russian slightly when you see. me mark has extended so i can take a stand i have announced a new lineup for the season that includes promising young cyclists alongside their season leader alexander you know cut off his back feet after breaking a leg during last year's tour de france but says this will probably be a season and he will. be given picks. action after me and be a way the boston celtics have beaten the cleveland cavaliers ninety three points to

ninety seven storing a bit of pride against the side which beat them two days earlier poll pace the main man for boston with twenty eight points and he helped them head off a late challenge from cleveland driving into the basket to give his side and eleven point lead in the final quarterback and they need it is a damn kwan's jamison and then cutting a vine cutting the deficit fixing in the dying minutes that boston made sure of the way thanks to kevin garnett and the game's biggest bucket of visits is how would. for the ninety three ninety three. 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 reveal key factors which could determine who will be crowned champions the media days pretty much like a circus atmosphere with players and coaches fielding hundreds of questions from hundreds of journalists the giants defeated the patriots in the super bowl final of two thousand and eight and despite winning ten straight games coming into the final

the patriots know they'll have to be flawless against a very strong giants defense and that has put even more pressure on new england star man tom brady. i'm going to make sure i don't throw any interceptions make sure i've played 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 know a lot of mistakes. but we can't go out there and make mistakes and expect to win we've got to go out there play a very clean game. so that brings us to the end of the sports or into last.

it's. going to be soon which brightened if you nibble soon from phones to freshen some. meals for instance on t.v. dot com. a soulless substance. a touch like a well trained army. villages in ruins. for thailand where time stands still. all becomes

a scene of nothingness. the mysterious sons of russia. are teaching.
