in the world. china has reverted to say in global financial matters and i think that it will have to change expression the us and europe in such dire financial straits. all right before we get to the business news with katie let's do the r.t. world update some other international news in brief starting with pakistan now some of fighter jets from there have bombed the two militant positions along the afghan border the attacks killed thirty one suspected insurgents in the tribal areas of zion and this comes just a week after the soldiers and militants clashed at a mountaintop in killing over sixty people the pakistani military has launched a series of offensives against militants in the tribal regions in the past few years. dozens of people have been injured in clashes outside egypt parliament in cairo where protesters have gathered to demand an end to military rule they were stopped from reaching the doors of the building by supporters of the muslim

brotherhood which holds the majority of seats tensions are high between islamist supporters and protesters who accuse the movement of siding with the military and betraying the revolution that toppled former president hosni mubarak one year ago. eight people are missing after a cargo ship capsized off the coast of turkey the cambodian a registered vessel was sailing from russia to turkey's port but sank off the town of dark before reaching its destination three crewmembers have been rescued and search teams are continuing to look for those still missing already say it's likely a storm caused the ship to tilt to one side and take on board. at least sixty people have died in eastern europe after a deep freeze and a blizzard swept the region the drop in temperatures has prompted several countries to deploy the army and set up emergency shelters the highest death toll is in

ukraine where forty three people died after temperatures hit minus thirty three weather forecasters say the subzero conditions are expected to last at least in till friday. and ad a campaign in the united states 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 america's jewish culture has weakened but as artie's paul asli reports the ads seem to have done more harm than good. the beckerman is could be the family featured in an advertisement recently pulled from american t.v. the goal is really marry to an american jewish woman but 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 on says christmas instead of the jewish festival of hunger the implied suggestion was that jewish identity has been diluted in america and that angered many jews who live there to. support you cannot but lots of points or. 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 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 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 news looks to it's going on in israel was developing in the parliament particular in the field strongly alienated from that and they say to themselves this is not the israel that we are in love with 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 the israeli 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 settlements tell of a nonstop was issuing tenders for thoughts and war homes to be built across the green line evoking anger and condemnation from the international community. as many as a million one in 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 provoke such a backlash in the first place are far from resolved policy r t. i was there with us here are two you know it's the business. of the business program is also to be the most hyped i.p.o.

in years facebook is expected to file the paperwork for its public listing in new york as soon as today the social network will reportedly sell a ten percent stake to raise up to ten billion dollars this will be a record for a technology company but as with other high profile internet that amir arjun koskie head of market research at north capital says this one looks overvalued. this is a valuation probably based on future cash flow. no more inclined to talk about the present because for definitely facebook is not delivering this much money right now so. maybe a self-delusion or might might be deliberate exaggeration of market well you know but it's definitely worth march march but less than that amount. and a further effort to crack down on corruption president medvedev has ratified the o.e.c.d.

growth outlook for europe as obviously i get of so let's move on to a euro more disappointment there as china is expected to face challenges in rebalancing its economy but better news for us where economic growth is expected to be better than anywhere else. interest rates will go up and budgets will come down the public sector will have to face the harsh reality of wage costs and shrinking overnights. all of the above could be good news for the save haven currencies the us dollar the japanese again the norwegian krohn but a bad year for the euro the swiss franc and the chinese yuan the experts outside believe it's only a matter of time before the perfect financial storm hits and they do offer a warm consolation that it may force the authorities in to take in the right action for a long term solution. thanks marina let's have

calls and r.s.s. feeds now in the palm of your. question on the dot com. three thirty pm here in moscow you're watching arts he type your headlines now a diplomatic deadlock russia says no to regime change in syria as moscow slams a proposed. and resolution calling on president assad to step down the kremlin is a warning against using that the world body to impose outside interests on the syrian people. with the leaks founder julian assange just to appeal britain's supreme court against his extradition to sweden is wanted for questioning over alleged sex offenses which he denies claiming the allegations against him

politically motivated. and an israeli ad campaign in the u.s. backed by inadvertently insulting many jewish families across america many have criticized the commercials saying they use scare tactics to encourage israeli jews to return to their roots. as the headlines here on r.t. up next we talk to the indian to the united nations who outlines what he thinks the international community needs to do to resolve the ongoing crisis in syria and other arab nations this is art. parties 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 the 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 then 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 a.p.r.'s to that statement is a fairly strong statement because 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 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. 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 sweden in 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 serious enough but talking of libya i would still be one of the difficulties that we are having i mean so far 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 are now 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 overpower. 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 therefore i'd like to see how that is coached 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 negotiations we can support that if as a result of those negotiations there's a political formula which is that which results 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 the 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 worried 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

because of our punitive measures that they were seeking so that's why you think the west bank i think that's aside as i normally would i think the russian resolution is still around it's not being 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 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. which. when it was adopted was clearly in the minds of some a new car 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 word 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 ceasefire and when we tried 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 referred to an arms embargo but that resolution was interpreted as some people say well it means you can carry out military operations against gaddafi 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 are to be yes the libyan experience will continue to guide people now whether that should or should not be that gives 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 which are 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 were 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 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 or on the context of the immediate crisis that is 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 what happens when military operations stick you end up producing and more radicalized response to it i think i'm gonna stand is a case in point iraq is a case in point and i'm not a suit said but i'm a student of history and international relations and i would be surprised if the libyan experience does not result in a more radicalized response from within libya as it is used to. recruit from libya and there are all kinds of studies now which the intelligence community which the you know strategic community and the think tanks and i'm putting together. you know what's happening the militias when they come across a cache of alms they don't set ended it to a central. it strengthens that now we realize that there isn't into them set up

that we realize that they need time so we would 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 investor pretty thank you very very much thank you thank you. so the substance. in a time like a well trained on the. villages in ruins. for thailand where time stands still.
