time for your headlines now a u.n. resolution on syria stops short of calling for intervention but the wishes of the u.s. . who do want to see president assad leave. for the meantime insists there should be no foreign interference. considers the fate of wiki leaks founder julian. the wiki leaks founder. politically motivated and the response to his. top secret u.s.

cables. and israel's. jews based in the u.s. suggesting the jewish identity is being diluted by the country they live in but many are already feeling alienated by the policies of expansion and treatment of palestinians. we talked to the indian ambassador to the united nations about what he thinks the international community can do to resolve the crisis in syria you watching. parties sitting down with mr her deep 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 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 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 but to permanent members of the security guards of course one side the resolution two others vetoed it russia and china russia and china and the fifth a 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 and 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 seen as enough but talking of libya i must tell you one of the difficulties that we are having in 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. vitiate inc 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 a proposition i think some members of the council including my own delegation would have a lot of difficulty with that they have what 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

a joining violence reform negotiation that 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 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 contain 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 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 we look 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 in. pyatt 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 get involved they would have to take measures in order to enforce the 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 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 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 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 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 and 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 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 voted in 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 what happens when military

operations stick you end up producing and more radicalized response to it i think i've got to stand as 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 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 are now putting together. you know what's happening the militias when they come across. they don't set in that it to a central authority it strengthens that now we realize that there isn't into them setup 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. less than what what what we had investor pretty thank you very very much thank you thank you. so the substance. can attach like a well trained on. villages in ruins. thailand where time stands still. all becomes a sea nothing. to this. styria sons of russia.

where is that huge this. will be the return. to woo hoo. tennis now maria sharapova has held her first training session in moscow ahead of russia's fed cup quarter final with spain which gets under way at the weekend the twenty four year old has only ever played in three cup matches but from an injury plagued the well known to three weeks straight you know confined to last week losing in straight sets to be. told which. i think you hypo to early season for helping russia which the fed cup semifinals. you know it's always great to be in the finals of a grand slam that's why you know you always want to be down to the us too and you know for me to be able to come to moscow in a few days obviously it's a tough transition going from the heat to the cold it's like that for everyone and you know i think we just have to make the quick adjustments but i'm happy that we have a home match instead of away and then i can actually be in my home country and it's

sort of last time you played for a cup of russia different because well if you see more i hope she said give you no motivation this time because you know last year you know it's it's a team effort and i think that's really how it happened both so long and i didn't have a good first day and then the next day you know the whole team kind of raise their level and one zero two so it's just it's such a different environment than what we're used to or is when you lose a match and then you're kind of out you know a loser or not you still have a chance and that's what makes it so special here do you feel more confident now because i mean you're getting to be a grandson foreign to you. but helping to put what happened in two thousand and one two thousand and eight behind you and just moving forward even that you want to get into for no going to want to get to the stage of being in a final is great and for me to to have a woman in the open where i haven't been a stage in the second week of a grand slam is a really good achievement for me and you know to be number three in the world is great as well just one final question obviously a huge year for you with the ground so i'm trying to get on the ground sometimes. i mean this is part of a region where you're playing fed cup trying to get in the libyan team and it

wouldn't mean to you for the olympics has meant so much for me since i was a young kid those really what we always looked for. or to one day in tennis when i was young was in the beginning was always although lympics winter sports that i watched and i hope that one day i would be an olympian so you know i missed it in beijing with the shoulder surgery and. looking forward to going to fix something which i'm. i stuck in now in k h l top scorer alex on that other lot has been left out of russia squad for next week's swedish games the site stop on the four nation euro hockey till the fall that national president and his fellow board from sun about to lay a gold digger bank that are exempted from national team to head the fast approaching postseason reigning champions russia looking to maintain their three point lead ahead of sweden two militants in six games left but their love is like a child lead in both goals and assists sullivan that's have to play another eight games in the regular season before defending their domestic plan to get our income

play offs. now with four days to go until sunday super bowl the new england patriots and new york giants have held their annual press day and revealed key factors which could determine who recruited champions the giants beat the patriots in the two thousand and eight super bowl final and despite winning ten straight games coming into this final the patriots now than have to be flawless against a very strong giants the fence and that puts even more pressure on new england star quarterback 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 so 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. well both brady and giants quarterback eli manning were part of the squad in that super bowl clash in two thousand and eight with thirty one year old manning edging his rival to be named the most valuable player and the manning

wants his younger teammates to make specimens with pleasure that give their all the heat. i need to cycle now russia's top team got to share already to make a bigger impact this season with some big reinforcements robert fatton on explains . all the glue on the greatest roots of the most prestigious cycling learns since two thousand and nine when they were launched have been deployed over a shot in this tour sixty live trees and 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 williams i clearly given by the sponsors we saw first the olympics the world championships but the sport as well it gives 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 to work also for the russian cycling for the young riders so you must understand this is approach as a whole project fulfilling those kinds of just 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 return will. also go free and. i'm very happy to be part of this team first of all represents such a huge country in russia at the international cycling arena and it's a big honor for me his team is very strong in his huge potential to improve meaning a great deal of opportunity for me to claim more wins in my professional career. lucky he well that he says biggest piece is the sunny. he's the only one of the team who have faced an overwhelming victory at the world's three major events the

thirty four you'll russian proved to be the best at the veto yeah in q two thousand and nine and twice a day. like it was i think. it's pretty. this is. one of the best russian either so i think it's it's one of a long soul. i think for me also it gives more and more some more power no more ambition a smaller more mature way. for next season with how far you are left to go before the summer olympics in london russia jumps like the team and cyclist. their interests the combination and the olympic games. but. it's going to show up because. anywhere if you're finished or in good shape you're going right in the same level if you.

will i don't know if you're going to improve in two weeks or even but i think you're all here for enough but it will to compete. with a level that you should look to have everything needed to make this year one of the most if not the most successful borussia the cycling the phone known my feet. by it's. culture is that so much different and there's a huge percentage share apparently on the mark with siri on the brain violence escalates in this and the battle country the calls for strong sanctions and even a military intervention grow in intensity.

that's.
