being signed across the continent. six pm in moscow i'm at a good to have you with us here on r t our top story moscow says it will veto the latest u.n. resolution on syria if the text is submitted in its current form russia says the document still needs to be revised let's get the latest on this rocky's marine important joining us live from new york. so marina moscow has made its position clear but the u.n. security council is still set to vote on the resolution today tell us more that's right moscow has made its position crystal clear the security council of the united nations is expected to be gathering together shortly in new york this is not common for the security council to be working on

a saturday but this is because the draft resolution on syria has been called to a vote for a vote now as you mentioned that moscow has said that it will veto the u.n. resolution on syria if the text is brought to a vote as it is being brought today in its current form. moscow says that while the drop has been softened at the request of russia a drops explicit demands for regime change and an arms embargo the giraffe still contains attacks according to moscow that could be interpreted as an open door for intervention for example it doesn't specifically call on syrian president bashar al assad to step down but it does have specific wording that endorses the arab league's plan that calls for him to are to relinquish his power now another example is that the draft says a security council quote decides to review implementation of this resolution within

twenty one days and in the event of noncompliance can consider further measures nobody knows what those further measures would be now russian russia's foreign minister sergei lavrov has said that meddling in inferior conflicts of sovereign countries can create chaos in a global relations mr lavrov also said that the resolution the draft resolution that has been brought to a vote today makes too few demands of armed groups and prejudge is the outcome of our national dialogue a mind among political forces in syria we did get to hear from mr lavrov and here's a little bit more of what he had to say regarding the draft text. through sed. go to the issue of the government is completely. the mission of the groups for the institution of. the state institutions. and the government to see the police to do months that is to do no demur and so that is through the lobby groups except the

blue shield spoke of this about the do it once the government the much more specific. now russia's prime minister will visit can ask for talks with president assad on tuesday now it comes amid reports from stern of a new crackdown in the city of homs with hundreds allegedly killed damascus claims that the killings were carried out by terrorist groups seeking to influence the u.n. decision a decision that we will be following and monitoring and reporting on in the hours to come absolutely our teams were an important ally for us with that update from new york thank you. well the security council meeting comes amid reports from syria of a new crackdown in the city of homs with hundreds reportedly killed the massacres claims the killings were carried out by terrorists seeking to influence the u.n. vote as marina mention r.t. sarah ferguson who just returned from the country as the latest. with regards to the situation in homes at the moment it's very hard to get a gauge on the accuracy of the figure is certainly

a really high priority to try and get some kind of accurate information coming out from that because you know that does play a big part in how the international community going to respond to the situation certainly in the country the situation is that these people you've got an increasingly polarized country you've got a situation that just seems to be escalating all the time and these armed conflicts breaking out in areas with civilian populations and speaking to people and saying i can't believe that we're watching this play out on the international stage right now they're watching that u.n. security council resolution going to be being discussed and then there are people on the ground not having to live this. way i mean is that. i think some sort of decision is made of fairly soon of course they want to get this draft resolution right but time isn't on the side for these people in the country you know they're in a desperate situation right now you know they don't have any real towards resolution

of any kind on the ground so you know whilst this resolution is being discussed in the security council you know action is needed there in the country. turns of thousands of gathered in moscow saturday for a day of protests the largest seen in the capital so far one group is demanding fair or actions others ready to support the current leadership our correspondent peter over what i thought. last saturday was a day of demonstrations here in the russian capital we saw a march and a rally by opposition supporters a large group of them meeting in the center of the city and marching here to block my a square which blood night has really become the central focus point for opposition protesters here in moscow this is the second time that opposition protesters have taken to block by a square for fewer the this time than last but of course the the weather a big deciding factor cripplingly low temperatures here in the russian capital in fact the organizers of the protest here shortened the events that were going to be

happening just to make it more comfortable for people who would come out in the cold minus twenty times on saturday here in moscow. so they came out to to voice their opinions here today but if you were there still you can hear because i'm tired of the government which doesn't do it promises nice and wants this to carry on for you if you. change your elections and there it was because you might go on to do come here and. now talk about some of those groups that we've seen come here they really come from all across the russian solicit straw answer we've seen far right groups far left groups and everybody in between. all coming out coming here to look nice square to demonstrate we didn't hear from. the presidential candidate the independent presidential candidate he's

drawing a lot of support from some of the groups that have come here to protest he said he would attend but he wouldn't give a speech this wasn't the only demonstration there was taking place on saturday there's also being gatherings of people who are in favor of the government pro-government supporters and. who will come paining saying that they want a revolution in russia using the example of the the orange revolution in ukraine and the chaos which which it is not country found itself in after the us saying that they don't need not be in russia they want the stability and not the revolution saying that russia had had its times of instability and they didn't go into to the dog days of old the ninety's now the good news for everybody concerned is just how peacefully everything is being carried off today but the opposition and the pro-government protests going on relative you without a hitch one of the putin rallies we did see the leader of that rally take it into

custody by police now this is because it was a sanctioned dryly and it was sanctioned to have a certain amount of people the amount of people who turned up for exceeded the police a lot of these indices they did say say protesters must remain within the law and they did do that today everything going on very peacefully is something day becomes the day of demonstrations. are all over reporting on a day of political rallies in the russian capital well stay with us here on r.t. still to come in the program religion as a testing ground we take a look at how a new forms of islam could change the face of a nation and lead to serious consequences plus. plastic partners dolls and even robots compete with real women to unlock the hearts of some lonely men searching for a law. but before we get to that protests arranging across egypt have left at least eleven people dead as police fired volleys of tear gas and birdshot into crowds who

both and education n.g.o.s and international n.g.o.s u.s. based n.g.o.s all of that indicates that the military council is very has been and transferring power to democracy of course if they want to cut the deal with a force which most likely will be in the muslim brotherhood that is something very odd about the fact that egypt brought down an authentic kerry and leader and yet some of its agencies are acting as if the other again if you missed in iraq what is happening right now is that large segments of civil society specifically the youth of egypt who began to rule fall and that revolt was taken away by other political parties including the muslim brotherhood in the south as those youth are angry at the government because they want the military council to transfer power to them or actually to their representatives and they fear that egypt is moving towards another out there with their own regime. dot com is the place to go to find other opinions and updates on latest development in egypt and all around the world here's what's a click away right now april may or june that's when israel could launch an attack
