closer to compromise the u.n. negotiator advised resolution text on syria which russia's insistence is no longer regime change. after three days of intense debate united nations security council members are sending elements of a possible future of resolution on syria to their governments for deliberation all the latest details from new york head of the program. more killings are reported in egypt after two days of clashes left more than seventy dead. criticised for not doing enough. the father of murdered. says he regrets accusing the kremlin carrying out his son's death.

around the world and around the clock you're watching r.t. russia is claiming a diplomatic victory at the u.n. after members of the security council agreed to take a more balanced stance on syria calls for the removal of president us forces. have been dropped from a revised resolution text which is still pending approval from moscow is warning it will oppose any attempts to even hint at targeting the syrian regime. has more. after some 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 for 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 non-existent 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 but u.s. is committed to seeing a change of power in damascus to strengthen its position in the middle east wants to be you have put explosives to magazine editor because we don't. western interest in the conflict in syria isn't guided by wanting to advance human rights democracy or the rule of law in the region if it was about that then we'd probably see an american naval flotilla off the coast of saudi arabia which happens to be one of the most repressive brutal 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 government to come to power should that happen that would give. almost dominance politically in the middle east so instead of western governments the british and the american and the french ones talking about president assad stays being numbered they should be more responsible in their outlook and the main focus should be on bringing pates to syria. what's ahead for you this are the electrolyzer watching how webcams will be presiding over the upcoming presidential elections in russia move for ultimate transparency now they were to katie at the business desk. the question we're asking at today is the

a beating if you like barak they were defenders of his regime and of the army eventually got rid of him that maybe people want to use this for their own purposes the one hand the muslim brotherhood has accused the government of failing of being somewhat responsible for the riots they won the elections to parliament they want to quit transfer power 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 with the electorate. and then as i say that maybe people. can provide it but it either way it's not a happy prospect for transition to a better egypt. well i would like to know what you think about what's happening in egypt today we're asking you why com has refused to return to the country for last year's revolution log on to our website r.t. dot com to take part in our latest poll so far almost half of you believe the supporters of ousted leader hosni mubarak are still in power quarter say it's in

father of the murdered f.s.b. officer alexander litvinenko has made a shock u. turn over claims that russia was behind the assassination of his son he says he regrets the accusations he made in the aftermath of the infamous two thousand and six killing in london why put them in poisoning getting a good job or went to meet him. this is how we found my kidney and praying in his tiny telling apartment no electricity no gas no water. what if it was 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 day we expected more because six years ago after his son former aphis be officer aleksandr litvinenko was poisoned in london he was taken

care of by some very powerful patrons like cell fix out-i khun boris berezovsky and ahmed zakayev and a tourist former chechen militant both hiding in the u.k. if you just give them we broke. yet you get extremist you know that door that there is just give me a yes but here dorothy you will be. one vicariously namco sent a letter asking to be interviewed by russian television we expected more of the same but instead what image of a different team even the mood of each if you watching this program please forgive me for all the slander the times said and wrote about you for the hatred i had for you if 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 shot what else can i add to this. the u.-turn vaulters says came when his sons we doe marina bin 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 cole like many others claimed his son had been poisoned with polonium two ten on putin's 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 accusing the russian government today by their admits he was saying only what the west wanted to hear. of course i realize russia's if this be an idiot enough 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 viger 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 why because they like it when i scold the regime i was a root treasure for them the whole there are very few people who would say as many horrible things about putin as i did. living in two thousand and eight but the only thing uncle flat russia or sanctuary need silly 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 was the living and 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 sanctuary. 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's lost forty euros went on a gas canister and that is gone to. this is how. look at the

new police door to let the sudden wind inside. there is east and there is russia through my homeland for tourists i want to go home to russia. i don't want to stay here. in the great sure r t sinegal eataly. are coming your way in the program a community conundrum with limbs and don't bother to call islamic fundamentalist group that's radical rules. the german chancellor is in china asking for help an investment for the euro and it seems she might get it china's prime minister says the country is now considering contributing to european rescue funds going merkel is on an official visit to beijing where she's been trying to reassure the chinese about the economic situation in europe and also like

to see beijing support a western stance on iran's nuclear ambitions by joining the european embargo on all it wants from the islamic state political analyst christophe also believes change beijing's starts on iran. our chancellor is on a trip or begging to if she wants money for europe she once 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 ever more rain in oil so i don't think she has any chance of you know talking china out of buying uranium oil or that were 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 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. as the u.s. presidential campaign holds up the republicans may end up choosing to challenge barack obama is a quick look at what's in our cross talk today showed it to this. to have a debate with the president on the health care reform bill it's going to be laughable because the bill that the president signed into law was based almost entirely on the bill that mitt romney signed into law in massachusetts. you're right he's not even going to be able to make that argument and the question earlier is is a conservative enough i mean how could anyone call him a conservative when he himself has called himself a moderate the real deal here is the republican party trying to get the

conservative grassroots to support the guy who lost to the guy who lost to obama and so there's this endless cycle of you know it's your turn that's being shoved down the grassroots throat he's been running for five years he already has organization set up in all the states plus the backing of goldman sachs and the republican establishment and the guy still can't break fifty percent i don't think he would do well in the general. it's a question of identity versus integration this group in belgium is on the front views which people say no to extreme which are the muslims feel threatened by what he saw sort of report. bearded wearing a comma flaws jacket and constantly surrounded by men fought a belt it's hard not to notice he heads the islamic fundamentalist group shiria for

belgium in september the group opened the country's first shari'a court in outwork to mediate domestic disputes among muslims. believe. the handing things if you want to accept it except if you don't that's your problem . if you if you're a muslim you. will go to paradise if you are this believer you will go to hell. any further controversy may have ended there if that was all there is to it that video such as these. have caused outrage. the freedom of speech and. the hatred incitement to violence towards. leadership. he openly. said. i should be. i 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 if you would. just a few people maybe a dozen of people maybe two dozen of people dressed like me. middle age. and i mean photography. and this is a joke yet it has its repercussions on other muslims. this kind of group of course they are moved limbs but they have no religious background it is a minority perhaps that in search of an identity but that's ignorance and the myth that they're using it's scary and it's freaking people out.

unfortunately this kind of group shows about image of islam and most muslims condemn this kind of ideology 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 muslim or live in belgium. there are belgium from the region turkish rigid and first. note mostly 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. just are still here r t brussels. well some world news in brief for you this hour two people including a three year old girl have been wounded by israeli airstrikes on the gaza strip

both were injured after one of the strikes hit a house the town of beit lahiya five other attacks targeted several tunnels what israel claimed was a weapons manufacturing facility the strikes happened only hours after the u.n. chief visited the hamas controlled territory in a bid to kickstart israeli palestinian peace talks. the supreme court income bodhi has sentenced the coming rouge is chief jailer to life in prison for crimes he committed while running on a tourist detention center appeal judges rejected the claim that comrie doing was only following orders out of the scene the torture and execution of more than twelve thousand victims up to two million people died from overwork and starvation unit which is in the nineteen seventies. because snap sweeping across eastern europe has now claimed the lives of one hundred sixty four people snow was two meters high in parts of serbia leaving around eleven thousand

villages stranded in remote parts of the country over a hundred people have died in ukraine alone after temperatures plummeted to minus thirty degrees celsius. which is being reported in the capital kiev with trucks unable to transport supplies. the watchful eyes of webcams are about to be set up across russia ahead of next month's presidential elections was proposed by a premier of the region or so after thousands of people took to the streets late last year calling for transparency in the election process want to see if it's going off as a 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 sometimes but i think if anything i ask the central electoral commission to install web cameras at all polling stations across the country so that everyone can watch online what's

happening there how much twenty four hours a day. 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 hold 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 vault more transparent. you'll get a bunch sure the observers won't be able to check advance if these cameras work will not achieve using a camera everyone knows about cameras in supermarkets but these steel doesn't stop robberies from happening. it's planted that every ballot box will be monitored by two cameras one with a general of the un another with a close up of the slot there are many ways to recover. and the cameras don't provide a hundred percent guarantee against them but using them should still make it much more difficult to stuff boxes of course there is nothing new. or web cameras but 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 he was one of r.t. moscow. without us to have the program people of both crosstalk at this time looking at the coming of the vendor election faceoff in the us before that katie has the business. thank you kerry welcome to the business program this hour market watchers expect the darkness of the eurozone debt problems to get some light rating agency standard and poor's expects the currency union to gradually climb out of its mild recession in the second tower and into two thousand and thirteen the firm's chief european economist john machar six explains. the risks of a more severe recession. that could go into twenty thirteen that are significant we

estimate about forty percent probability yet i think we have to look at all the fact is there has been some and cool edging devore upwards inside the u. was own and outside the eurozone what we expect is the moment from emerging markets particularly. a shelf to strengthen again in the second half of the and that should be supportive of a very gradual recovery in the eurozone we also expect that investors confidence will gradually come back. as they you up here in central bank continues to provide ample liquidity to the banking sector in the euro zone. of course not everyone agrees sykes a bank thinks the prospects for the eurozone are as hostile as the wave of extreme weather that you have and as i say grab is predicting an economic apocalypse with

european actually losing a quarter of the value they share we asked the author of the best seller extreme money down as well he's placing his bets. well i think the best way to describe the s. and p. report is whatever this i'd like to have some as far as the sexy bank report goes i think they are believers in the mayan calendar which believes that the world will indeed do thousand and twelve but i think the major thing is that when you look at this situation there is no way that europe is going to have a small recession it's going to have a long recession because the government spending will have to be cut and that has been the major stimulus which could be as economies go the second thing is the banking system in most of these countries is not creating any credit will not be able to create this technically if you are honest about it they are marginally solvent good bits and we still have not result they did issue and the real question is what will happen to portugal what will happen to spain what will happen to italy

and there is absolutely no resolve on the part of the european leadership and the european economic community because there is really no easy solution. moving on the european markets are trading higher this hour they've moved further into the plot as investors look ahead to key u.s. non-farm payrolls data jew out later today on the russian markets now they're struggling for direction in the fifth hour of trade this friday but the all just on the my sakes are there so positive holding on to those gains and we move on to the movers on the my sex and it just makes this our gas from has gone ever since slightly down only rust goal however has surged the most in the way it is in media reports his laundry list of parents will make a buy out of. you are twenty five percent up. is down ever so slightly though over one percent down. and here's what happened with

the exchange rates here is trading just a notch higher against the dollar of the year pain in the u.s. currencies are gaining a small fraction against the. the only ball. for take a look at those oil prices and now the to much better than the early other light sweet is overhaul five percent and the brand is over a quarter of a stunt. that's also made today i'm done and dusted my call they dimitri medvedev will be ok with all your business news in about fifty five when it's time .

for sure is that so much money going which of course is more on a few of them so here it is mostly it was president campaign become a horse race pitting incumbent for rob obama against republican mitt romney if this is really the case with. the move.
