russia refuses to back the latest u.n. draft resolution on syria unless it's a managed to clarify to clearly rule out military intervention and an arms embargo on damascus. german chancellor angela merkel arrives in china hoping to secure the border from its wanted to give an army partner in times of crisis and get the genome board the western policy on iran. plus as the international community calls on israel to stop building homes on occupied lands palestinians who live there are trying to stop what they call terrorism at the hands of israeli settlers . the russian mafia opens up today's trading session in the black following on
2:01 am
from games made in the u.s. europe and asia details of big is in the business bullets and in about twenty minutes time. it is eleven am in the russian capital you're watching r.t.l. marina josh welcome to the program russia says it will veto the latest u.n. security council resolution on syria unless the draft is changed while moscow admits progress has been made it's yet to see a text that explicitly rules out military intervention russia is also reluctant to stop selling equipment to damascus saying that would leave syria at the mercy of unrecognized rebel forces armed with weapons smuggled from abroad i guess is you're going to has more. russia says it won't accept even a hint of an embargo on arms embargo when it comes to syria and its reasoning for
2:02 am
this is pretty simple it says firstly that the weapons and arms are that russia provides to syria cannot be used against demonstrators thus don't influence anything that goes on inside syria and when it comes to this conflict now secondly russia says that it is only following its legal obligations it's following its international contracts with syria and it's not breaching any international laws at all and most importantly it says that the lessons of libya need to be large because when an arms embargo was put in place on libya what ended up happening was government forces were embargoed but the opposition groups continued to receive openly arms from abroad and this is something that they don't want to see in syria and russia says it's time for the west to stop pretending like armed groups don't exist over there. it would seem logical if there is a conflict let's not supply arms because we saw what happened in libya in an imperfect world this would have been the following no weapons with the government the opposition point is could get them from anywhere that's what that would mean
2:03 am
especially now our security council colleagues refuse even to admit the prisons of groups they will not condemn them. being supplied with weapons and we will bring hullo contracts and longstanding relations with syria but they will start supplying even more to the opposition groups they did in libya. there's no sign of a break in deadlock just yet the arab and western backed regime change resolution calls for the. syrian president to step down if this does not happen within fifteen days further measures could take place and russia says no thanks we've seen this similar scenario in libya and this particular case moscow says what's important is for talks for syria to exercise its sovereignty for the opposition and the government to sit down together moscow has offered russia as the central. stage for these negotiations but it's important to say that russia still believes that a consensus can be found within the united nations security council it says that
2:04 am
raw resolutions that are dangerous should not be put on the table that can split the council and really aggravate any sort of conflict and it continues to call for the importance of arab observers to are remain working on the ground as if you're going to reporting there and the u.s. as well as its european and arab allies are committed to pushing president assad out of power but political analyst benjamin barber says forcing regime change is a bad idea that's already plunged other arab countries into turmoil the case of libya the case of yemen and a number of other countries egypt also suggest that you have to be careful what you wish for the west is rather uncritical the recent insurgency is a good thing only to find that insurgency often means. fractionalization splintering various groups up against one another and the triumph over time of forces that are no more welcome to the west than the one for the displaced in libya
2:05 am
we see a country that is unable to create any kind of we'll see where militias are fighting one another where recently. towns like bond while he's back in the hands of gadhafi forces and the danger of libya looks like some all of that with live on militias in crimes of war so nobody i think did what will happen if assad is overthrown were killed or steps down and no one really knows what the outcome is likely to be as the west is hoping it will be less supportive of hezbollah less supportive of iran and less support of abbas and that could be the case but no one really knows what it's going to look like so the fact is would you support insurgencies you're basically taking a very difficult bet on uncertainty. the armed wing of the opposition the free syrian army claims to have tens of thousands of officers fighting to bring down president but leading british journalist maddy ya son suspects the numbers are
2:06 am
being exaggerated to provoke foreign intervention watch the full interview in just over an hour's time. there's a huge debate about the f.s.a. and how much first of all how many defections are going on because they claim to be getting dozens and dozens of defective every day every week from the start so we. had to get over the political the fearful regime apologists to say well it's a pity for their exaggerate their story in order to get the quote western division if you look at the history. of the terror you'll see there's an equivalent to the effort for the ground whether in libya which you go about to kosovo the k.l.a. which also said you know give us the go give us the support and we'll do the fighting and it is you know i've got to start you have the northern alone so that actually turns out that these groups tend not to have as much indigenous as they claim to be as much military strength as they claim. leaders from europe's biggest economy and asians are due to meet was germany
2:07 am
seeking china's support for the euro zone and on e.u. foreign policy goals in the middle east this will be angela merkel's fifth visit to china an important strategic economic partner for germany she is to hold talks with the chinese president hu jintao and premier wen jiabao and try to woo them for investment in the ailing europe also on the agenda marco hopes to try and change china's stance on syria and iran professor simon chan of the chinese university of hong kong believes that china needs an ally to counter u.s. dominance. i think actually there are fewer reasons of archery at first to a lot of the china to assist in the euro debt rises but that's not the only reason you know is cooperating with the states to sanction iran and that is the live the german chancellor that wish to. the chinese that it should not make use of this of a surety to increase the oil imports from here and so that's the second agenda but
2:08 am
then the only chunk out of germany as to are convinced china should not work well with iran in exchange of germans foreign affairs support and china's than is some. support when it's dealing with the united states and there's a sense in china that there's an and subcommands of china by the united states right now and that's to really engines of the united states in asia pacific so our china needs some balancing at. one of the many important matters that china wish to engage is over and so. well you know log on to our website r.t. dot com to give us your opinion on the possible results of chancellor merkel's visit to china. so far forty one percent saying the visit will help germany access new markets third of voters believe beijing will extend a helping hand to weaken europe sixteen percent say that china will move closer to that western position on iran and a minority believe it lou and with china's support for influencing the council
2:09 am
resolution on syria so had to r.t. dot com to cast your vote. so i had for this our candidates versus their critics. with me who is the president of. you know i don't know if you know by now why the carroll's comments of u.s. politicians could be costing america credibility on the international stage. you had inspectors say they'll return to iran again later this month in further attempts to verify the peaceful nature opterons nuclear program i officially held three days of talks in the islamic state this week stressing that iran is committed to resolving the atomic dispute western sanctions against the country have recently been stepped up and that fears iran is developing atomic weapons despite hopeful feedback from the u.n. a group of american lawmakers want washington to bully iran into submission the top military official in the u.s. ally israel also says all possible means should be used to disrupt iran's nuclear
2:10 am
program and best of journalist robert perry things the drums are beating for regime change. there's been almost a consensus not just in the united states in the intelligence community but even some degree in israel that the iranians have not made the decision to move ahead to build a nuclear weapon obviously there's belief that they are developing expertise that can be used in the future for such a decision if they were to make one so. if iran is sincere about its lack of interest in a new. weapon and if the west is willing to show some more flexibility in terms of how they're willing to negotiate on this i think there could be some resolution many people in the west do want regime change in iran they would like to see the removal of this islamic republic there's been a lot of propaganda in the west against iran but i do think that there is this there is an opportunity here for. for rand to make to achieve some openings but
2:11 am
that may not be enough to satisfy many of its critics who would like to see real change in government and we have more news on iraq at our website our get out the power all the petrodollar who profits most probably going to have sanctions on iran and what a bad is likely to follow get the expert opinion firsthand and. also online fighting racism with digital tools to learn how an international happiness group has dealt a blow to american and british white supremacist. plots. the appetite for contemporary art grows as meeting houses an ounce rising profits from sales being the most lucrative.

the close up team has been to the whole bar of screeching for the country's little wealth starts its way across the ocean. now our team goes to the area. was named after lenin but looking to a different character to represent itself. the local businesses are striving to build the aviation capital of russia. for the four by fours are made and can be tested to the limit. welcome to the greater. russia close up.
2:13 am
2:14 am
limelight once again but their critics are laughing as marina for now reports some believe the comments made show nothing more than ignorance and disregard for world affairs. every four years america's top job is up for grabs. with each new election comes a new batch of candidates with compromising foreign policy. credentials when they ask me who is the president of you beki beki beki beki stands i'm going to say you know i don't know do you know i'm afraid that it's a very hard struggle particularly given the situation on the iraq pakistan border you can actually see why russia from land here in alaska africa was a country on the brink on the brink of complete meltdown and chaos geographically illiterate us candidates have supplied comedians with endless material but all jokes aside some presidential hopefuls vying to lead the world's most powerful armed forces know very little about america's military interventions do you agree
2:15 am
with president obama libya or. libya. forming a cohesive sentence on geopolitics can be a struggle i do not agree with the way he is for reasons. you know that's that's a different one differentiating between friends and enemies is also a challenge obviously got to stand with our north korean allies in the case of republican candidate mitt romney mixing up presidents and prime ministers can be coming i think that president bush represents a real threat to the. stability and peace of the world the overarching ignorance on international affairs has caused american political commentator bill maher to conclude i think anybody could be president in this dumb down tree ok sort of like
2:16 am
at this point now where i think if you're gonna be it when you register to be a candidate you also have to go take a test about foreign affairs and if you fail the test we might get you one chance to take it again and then i'm saying sorry go run you know for city council in your little town in alaska if a country with the world's highest national g.d.p. is being represented by politicians with a deficit on international affairs the biggest consequence is likely to be america's credibility around the world and even who we target and let me finish with this i just get lost in a blizzard of words there this is where it gets really dangerous for united states of america it's like wait a minute how could they possibly be right about terrorism how could they be right about north korea are going to be right about iran so-called nuclear program when their candidate doesn't even know that there's a north and south korea i think the us is why and so then the world has this very paranoid view of the united states because of the candidates not understanding
2:17 am
basic facts or understanding basic principles of international law which unequivocally prohibit torture and if i were president. i would be willing to use waterboarding i think it was very effective you may think the consistent streak of foreign policy blunders made by a us presidential hopefuls is quite humorous but it could also be considered a national tragedy if most candidates campaigning to be leader of the so-called free world simply don't know enough about the world outside of america's borders. r.t. new york and world news in brief you know at least seventy four people have been killed and over one thousand injured in clashes between rival football fans in egypt the violence happened in the city of port saying that after an upset victory by the home team over egypt top club the fans stormed onto the field after.
