a security vacuum and in egypt and this security vacuum is intentional the police and the security apparatus has wanted to since the revolution began has wanted to punish the people for the rebelling against it and and. like in the immediate aftermath of the revolution the police disappeared off the streets and now they haven't returned to full capacity the supreme council the armed forces barak's ouster have been trying to sell themselves as a guarantor of peace and stability in egypt and so they jump on every opportunity to drive home the message that egypt is in like. mayhem and chaos and the only way we're going to get out of this is be you to support us as your leaders basically the changes that have occurred so far have largely been cosmetic ones to try and give. me the generals

a new draft resolution softened to overcome russia's objections references to president assad stepping down an arms embargo have been dropped from the revised text which is still pending approval moscow continues to warn it will oppose any attempt to even hint at targeting the syrian regime artie's anastasio churkin has more from new york. 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 form what we know russia's a master 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 we will just have to wait and see exactly how events play out the security council in the days to come marcus papadopoulos editor of

politics first magazine thinks the u.s. is still committed to seeing power in new hands in damascus. 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 regimes in the world it follows a pro western foreign policy syria it's 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 parallel should that happen that would give. almost full dominance politically in the middle weights

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 pace to syria markets but a double as there editor of politics first magazine talking with us from london. there's a lot more coming your way in the next few minutes stay with us coming up religious to the extreme. it's scary and it's freaking people learned this is a misinterpretation of your secret groups some hard liner rhetoric from a radical muslim group shocks belgian society including fellow muslims plus. a shock u. turn in a long running spy a murder saga as the father of slain f.s.b. officer alexander litvinenko backtracked on accusations of vladimir putin was to blame for his son's death. live pictures from every polling station in russia will go online with the help of
