closer to compromise the u.n. that negotiates a revised resolution on syria which at russia's insistence is that no longer aimed at regime change. after straight days of intense debate united nations security council members are sending elements of a possible future resolution on syria to their governments for deliberation all the latest details from new york ahead of the program. more killings are reported in egypt after two days of clashes left more than seventy dead within the military regime criticized for not doing enough. plus the father of former f.s.b. officer alexander litvinenko killed by radioactive polonium poisoning in london six years ago says he regrets accusing the kremlin of carrying out it's.

just after eight o'clock on a friday morning in moscow russia this is r.t. glad to have you with us russia is claiming a diplomatic victory at the u.n. after other members of the security council agreed to take a more balanced stance on syria calls for the removal of president assad and the enforcement of a voluntary arms embargo have been dropped from a revised draft which is still pending approval but moscow warns it will oppose any attempts to even hint targeting the syrian regime or he's an associate that has more. after see three days of diplomatic deadlock over this arab and western backed regime change resolution it looks like russia's calls that it would not support

such resolutions have finally been heard and we're seeing somewhat of a game changer take place delegates and diplomats seem to have agreed on new elements that they are considering putting into a new document and we do know that these new elements are being sent over to governments at home for consideration approval and deliberation and form what we know the russia's ambassador to the u.n. has said that this does not mean that anything has been fully decided yet and russia continues to reiterate that even if the hint of a regime change clause continues to be presented in such a resolution it would not be supported now what we what we're hearing and some reports that this clause will actually be nonexistent in this new text being considered whereas earlier the arab league and the west have been seeing that the syrian leader needs to step down if this does not happen within fifteen days further measures could take place another clause that we're hearing is going to be

removed from this document is the arms embargo that russia has also been opposing but from what we understand what will continue to remain in a new text is a support of a facilitation of a political transition now of course they have to again say that some of the details are still largely up in the air some diplomats are saying that a vote could come very shortly as soon as on friday others are saying that it's going to take a little more time monday possibly we will just have to wait and see exactly how events play out the security council in the days to come to use an associate you're going to reporting for us there from new york now sticking with the story the u.s. and its allies are committed to seeing a change of power in damascus in order to strengthen their positions in the middle east this is the view of politics first magazine editor marcus papadopoulos. western interest in the conflict in syria isn't guided by. advance human rights

democracy or the rule of law in the region if it was about then we'd probably see an american naval flotilla off the coast of saudi arabia which happens to be one of the most repressive regimes in the world it follows a pro western foreign policy syria is a huge player in middle eastern politics and the west principally america has a very problematic relationship with syria so it would be very much within america's interests for the syrian government for president assad to fall from power and for a more accommodating a more sort of pro western governments culture parallel should that happen that would give. almost full dominance politically in the middle east so instead of western governments the british and the american and the french ones talking about president assad states being numbered they should be more responsible in their outlook and the main focus should be on bringing pace to syria. after

a former f.s.b. officer died in london from radioactive polonium poisoning in two thousand and six his fall father voltaire litvinenko was among those who accused russia of his assassination but in an unexpected change of heart he now believes alexander became a victim of a grand a spy game and worked for the british intelligence parties you got that you know got you over went to meet him. but you. know this is how we found like that lead me and crew bringing his tiny telling apartment no electricity no gas no water. well. if it wasn't for the help of various people i would have died from hunger or frozen to death the last time i took a bath was on christmas eve. we expected more because six years ago after his son former f.s.b. officer alexander litvinenko was poisoned in london he was taken care of by some

very powerful patrons like cell fix out tycoon boris berezovsky and ahmed zakayev and a tourist former chechen militant both hiding in the u.k. . you could be here just three of them we brought. here to get extremist yogurt or sit there or he's just give me a yes but here doris you would be. one vicariously namco sent a letter asking to be interviewed by russian television we expected more of the same but instead. we're going to we're given. the mood of each if you're watching this program please forgive me for all the slander the thai said and wrote about you the hatred i had for you even only i had known my son worked for british intelligence i would not talk about his death he could easily have been shot as a double agent betrayers should be short of story what else can i answer the only

bit of. the u.-turn vaulters says came when his sons we doe marina lee finn and co revealed to the british media that her husband had worked for m i six further details followed when a newspaper launched its own investigation alexander litvinenko was receiving a retainer of around two thousand pounds a month from the british security services at the time he was murdered it is understood that sir john scarlett now head of m i six and was based in moscow was involved in recruiting him to the secret intelligence service. at first by turnitin and co like many others claimed his son had been poisoned with polonium to tan on putin order the former f.s.b. officer and fierce critic of the kremlin alexander litvinenko spent twenty three days in a london clinic slowly dying from a toxic substance possibly consumed through a cup of tea even before police in london started questioning suspects the victim's father was actively kissing the russian government today by their admits he was

saying only what the west wanted to hear. of course i realize russia's f.s.b. and the indian off to take polonium to london sprinkle it over some heads and leave traces everywhere and their suspect and a little boy is not a fool either it was anger and blind hatred speaking inside of me viper and now believes his son fell victim to his own game of double agents now he wants his words to be heard but the media outside russia which once beat down his door for interviews now won't even reply. to his requests. why is that because they like it when i scold the regime i was a root treasure for the movie the whole there are very few people who would say as many horrible things about as i did as well you know living in two thousand and eight but the only thing young call flat russia or century needs healing is settled in the sleeping quiet town of sinegal it offered to new anonymous life the man

claimed putin was his number one enemy so hiding in europe he believed was the only safe solution today by the lithuanian co is still afraid to open this door not because of putin though but because of his landlord to whom hill has a lot of money this miserable life has made him a slave of his century but surely the namco sold everything he had in russia to come to eataly he opened a small business several years ago but it went bankrupt things got worse after the seventy three year old had buried his wife but are now fears her casket could be removed because he hasn't paid the cost of a burial plot and it's been months since the electricity was shut off to his flat he was lost forty euros went on a gas canister and that is gone to the work of the your this is how my son of us took it that even the door to let the southern wind inside. there is

east only as russia through my home learned more from tourists i want to go home to russia. through i do want to stay here. in the church over our t. sity ghalia eataly. well still coming your way in the program learning how to be a community. muslims in belgium are divided over the local islamic fundamentalist group of that proposes radical law. washington is downplaying a statement from the u.s. defense secretary who said the country plans to end combat operations in afghanistan one year before the country's due to pullout leon panetta said america intends to shift to a supporting military role sometime in two thousand and thirteen but washington

says it must first be approved by other nato policy makers at a may summit in chicago america's decade long presence in afghanistan has resulted in the deaths of tens of thousands of local civilians and almost two thousand u.s. soldiers crow of the nonprofit brave new foundation believes it's still unclear when troops will be completely withdrawn. hopefully what this means is panetta said something like this on the plane when he made the surprise announcement that it would mean troops moving out of communities and on to bases first like they did in iraq and then eventually be pulled out so absolutely does not mean that we have a date certain for all troops to be out of afghanistan and that's something that our community that's working to end the war and get the troops home has to be very clear on we do need to keep continuing to pressure the government well i certainly think that the lives and the resources that were spent on the military first strategy were absolutely a waste what you've seen people say in the southern regions of afghanistan that

they want is a fair elections process and aside from the corruption issue that means that you can't have people who are are blatant war criminals be allowed on the ballots in those regions just because they're u.s. and kabul allies. two protesters have reportedly been shot dead in the egyptian city of suez by police early on friday there are the latest killings in what's now a third day of violence in the country more than six hundred were injured in cairo on thursday where police fired tear gas to disperse protesters there thousands rallied against the failure of the force to prevent the death of that at least seventy four football fans after a match two days ago demonstrators are also calling on the ruling military council to step down professor of international relations mark on it says that there are forces in egypt that actually want more turmoil. the police are very demoralized they took a beating if you like barak they were defenders of his regime and the army eventually

got rid of him and much of the social order problems in egypt crime attacks on tourists attacks and people in. the police seem to be tomorrow's to do much and many people have said that the police imports said it had reacted with a heavy hand stop this i said we would be. on the other hand there are also people who say the police of course particular dislike the. who are part of the crowds back in general for every last year that maybe people who want to use this for their own purposes the one hand the muslim brotherhood is accused the government of failing and being in some way responsible for the riots they've won the elections to parliament they want a quick transfer to them on the other hand quite a few of the people in the streets protesting on happy about the muslim brotherhood victory in the elections and they may feel that disorder on the streets might give them more influence than they have actually been electrified launch egypt and then as i say that maybe people will say we need

a firm hand in the can provide it but it either way it's not a happy prospect for a smooth transition to a better egypt. china is considering playing a bigger role in resolving europe's debt crisis by. getting involved in european rescue funds prime minister wen jiabao made that statement during a meeting with german chancellor angela merkel who's in china on an official visit merkel has it been trying to reassure beijing about the economic situation in europe and to persuade china to invest in the euro iran and syria are also expected to be on the agenda china is the biggest buyer of iranian oil merkel has been calling on beijing not to buy more after an e.u. embargo and to use its influence to persuade tehran to abandon any possible atomic weapons ambitions but political analyst christophe for still believes getting support for germany's economy is the main reason for the trip i would chancellor on

a triple begging she wants money for europe she wants you know a support from beijing for the new un resolution which beijing is not going to give and she also wants beijing to cut off its own oil supply which beijing is widely not going to do and of course beijing has also to take into consideration that india its competition in the region is standing straight with iran and buying more rain in oil so i don't think she has any chance of you know talking china out of buying iranian oil that will not happen again i would say she will not put any much focus on it she will she will say that she will look to the ceiling and then she was smile and say let's talk business now her main focus in this trip is the german economy and she's wise to do that she will even not you know lobby very much for chinese investment into europe because she knows in our heart of hearts that

this is truly a bad investment. well it is a question of identity versus integration shari'a islamic group in belgium is under fire for views which local people feel are too extreme and which even other local muslims feel threatened by parties are silly reports. bearded wearing a comma flushed jacket and constantly surrounded by men fought a belt is hard not to notice he heads the islamic fundamentalist group sharia for belgium in september the group opened the country's first sharia court in antwerp to mediate domestic disputes among muslims with our own system of belief. of having things if you want to accept it accept it if you don't. there is a judgement day if you if you're a muslim you will go to paradise if you are this believer you will go to hell so any further controversy may have ended there if that was all there is to it but videos such as these. have caused outrage.

and freedom of speech and. insight into hatred incitement to violence starch we have. leadership here for belgium he openly. said. i should be. should be killed because i am an enemy of islam in january and work or prosecutor recommended two years in prison and a fine of five hundred fifty euros for about a seven for inciting hatred and violence against muslims that's in addition to fourteen police court convictions and criminal convictions for robbery defamation and violence. just a few people maybe a dozen of people maybe two dozen of people dressed like. green flag. and this is

a joke yet it has its repercussions on other muslims. this kind of group of course they are moved but they have no religious background it is a minority perhaps in search of an identity but. that's a big difference and the misses they're using it's scary and it's freaking people language. people unfortunately just kind of group shows about image of islam and muslims condemn this kind of. this is a misinterpretation of her secret. muslims comprise about six percent of the belgian population one of the highest rates in europe and is expected to rise to more than ten percent by two thousand and twenty the muslim who live in belgium. they are belgium from morocco in the region. and the first. muslim radical groups such as those of the islamic fundamentalists comprise

a minority and it's not representative of the muslim community in belgium nevertheless politicians analysts and even the belgian muslims themselves acknowledge that the problem is what these groups symbolize radicalization the process it spreads and the allure of extreme views. tests are so your r.t. brussels. now time for some other world news and brief for you this hour. at least six people have been killed and more than twenty injured in colombia after a group using pickup trucks fired homemade mortars at a police station thirty five officers were inside the building when the attack occurred in the town of reka this comes just one day after a motorcycle packed with explosives blew up outside a police station in the city of two moscow killing eleven people there police have blamed tack on the left wing rebel group far. one hundred twenty people are still missing after a passenger ferry sank off the coast of new guinea most of those unaccounted for

a piece going off as the story. inch after inch mile after mile big brother is preparing to cast his eyes on polling stations as the massive campaign to install web cameras is in full swing across the entire nation but a short on time is but i think if anything i asked for a central electoral commission which is to install web cameras at all polling stations across the country so that everyone can watch online what's happening there almost twenty four hours a day and they go we want that only. the idea was put forward following the biggest protests in russia since the collapse of the u.s.s.r. with tens of thousands demanding fair elections so wiring up over ninety thousand polling stations is the scale and around a half of a billion us dollars is the price tag. the system is not be made only for one day we help this project want only develop elections acknowledges but will also help modernize telecommunications infrastructure across the entire country. all

cameras will be feeding the videos the film to local digital storage facilities after computer processing will be then sent to seven large storage and distribution centers via cable radio and satellite these centers will then broadcast the information to several web portals it's estimated that all together the cameras will film and broadcast four hundred and ninety years of video information in good quality however there is still down to this technology will help make the vote more transparent. you'll get a story i'm sure the observer is going to be able to check advance if these cameras work or not now. everyone knows about cameras in supermarkets but this still doesn't stop robberies from happening. it's every ballot box will be monitored by two cameras one with the general view and another with a close up of the slot there are many ways to rig

a vote and the cameras don't provide a hundred percent guarantee against them but using that should still make it much more difficult to stuff boxes course there's nothing you. or web cameras. using them to monitor elections on such a scale is a first for any nation and regardless of the success of the idea everyone will be able to monitor the vote online and not to mention no one is against having more real life observers on the spot the war is going on r.t. moscow well the sports news is next but first katie is here with all the latest in business news. thank you so and hello to you welcome to the business program russell is an apparent political transition delegate so the troika dialog economic forum in moscow have been discussing the reforms the country needs to put in place following
