u.n. security council resolution on syria. for. over two hundred.

people killed. russia and china vetoed the latest u.n. security council resolution on syria. because the draft did not reflect the real situation in damascus and. the conflict. has the latest from new york. in a matter of just five minutes after the meeting began russia and china both wielded their veto powers not supporting this draft resolution that was written by the. european countries while the draft resolution was supported by thirteen members of

the security council russia was asking for some amendments according to russian foreign minister sergei lavrov. not excessive and. said that russia was urging the west to accommodate concerns to reach a compromise on this draft resolution china during the meeting that supported russia's amendments and said for the council to up. there was a divide it did not help. or the authority of the security council russian foreign minister sergei lavrov said that moscow does not support using the security council as a tool to intervene on a sovereign country experiencing an internal conflict he believes that could create chaos in international affairs so as we see there was. on this resolution it did not go through and it's because russia believes that as the draft resolution

was presented it had a lot of balances in it when it comes to the current circumstance in syria russian envoy to the united nations vitaly churkin did go into detail about those imbalances but. the security council has not yet reached its conclusion of the draft resolution. adequately with the real situation in syria and. the co-sponsors of the resolution and looting of taking into account the syrian opposition distance itself from extremist groups committing violence. to use their influence to prevent such. taken into account. with his drawing the syrian. state institutions. nor has the being support for affording more flexibility to get into. states to increase the chances of

a successful political process the russian delegation. this draft resolution seriously regret. visit damascus. with syrian president bashar. some type of peaceful approach. in syria the arab league has also addressed the security council at the stakeout saying that they are extremely disappointed. but they will continue trying to work with the security council with the united nations to try to reach some type of consensus now u.s. president barack obama did also issue a statement of. the united states on the side of the syrian people that are. the syrian president and his government and he said. regime the time has

come for the. assad regime. clearly the united states is pushing for regime change this is a sticking point this is something that russia does not see what takes place in the days and weeks to the draft. by the arab league vetoed by russia and china. reporting from new york now sticking with this story. says the resolution was. unlikely to achieve much anyway. but i think their resolution itself was was probably not going to accomplish much anyway it seems to have been at best an effort to kick start some international backing for intervention in the country which obviously russia and china were not going to support i don't think it was ever going to get anywhere and it seems like

with the arab league having withdrawn all their monitors from the country and favor of this resolution they they sort of shot themselves in the foot here and don't have a lot of options left there it seems to me that of them what their security council is is liable to do with syria is to continue arguing the point to continue putting forth resolutions that have no chance of passing and giving long winded speeches that don't really get anywhere. in russia more than two hundred thousand people have taken to the streets of moscow st petersburg and other cities to express their political views on head of the march fourth presidential election our correspondent peter all over saw the gatherings first. well 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 bloodline has really become the central focus point for opposition protesters

here in moscow this is the second time that opposition protesters have taken to the last night a square far fewer the this time than last but of course the the weather a big deciding factor in cripplingly low temperatures here in the russian capital in fact the organizers of the protest here sure. the events that were going to be happening just to make it more comfortable for people who had come out in the cold minus twenty times on saturday here in moscow. so they came out to try to voice their opinions you know didn't believe you were in here because i'm tired of the government which doesn't do what it promises mari's and wants this to carry on for you if you. change fair elections and normal life you know it was. my goal for you wanted to come here and. now talk about some of those groups that we've seen come here they really come from all across the russian

political straw we've seen far right groups far left groups and everybody in between. all coming out coming here to pull off my square to demonstrate we didn't hear from. the presidential candidate the independent presidential candidate he's drawn 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 forces and. who would be complaining saying that they want a revolution in russia using the example of the orange revolution in ukraine in the chaos which country found itself after saying that they don't need. stability and not the revolution saying that russia should cut its times of instability and

they didn't want to change the dark days of the ninety's now the good news for everybody concerned is just how peacefully everything is being carried off on start today the opposition on the pro-government protests going off relatively without a hitch however one of the pro putin rallies we did see the leader of that rally take it into custody by police now this is because the it was a sanctioned dryly and it was sanctioned to have a certain amount of people the amount of people far exceeded that sort of decency as they did say say protesters must remain within the law they did do that and everything going off very peacefully his stuff today becomes the day of demonstrations artie's peter all of our reporting for us there now journalist evolve. shares his view on the protest. i think our course was too late in coming so we are seeing more or less usual suspects and even even if we

take seriously proper up here i mean he's a he's a smart man and he's a rich man but. he's i think he falls. in the category because he's not involved in russia or the region successful in miami we are not in america we are in russia and the space we are social democratic country with putin has in store he's social policy would give support to so many people that's why so many people together today to support him i think that what is happening today is that there are so many people calling call fair elections my hope is that they will get the fair elections but i think there may be disappointed again because in cairo actions there is a fair chance that we can move. still to come in the program. piracy treaty designed to protect intellectual property has it europeans in revolt

find out why they say it violates basic rights also. religion as a testing ground we investigate how new forms of islam could change the face of a whole nation and to lead to serious consequences. in egypt at least twelve people have been killed in street battles with riot police more than two thousand have also been injured in violence following the death of seventy four people in football related violence on wednesday the demonstrators are demanding the military council step down police fired tear gas from armored vehicles and protesters to keep control of the situation in response to the protests presidential elections could now be moved forward from june a civilian council advising the military leadership nominations should start being accepted at the end of the month dr omar short from the institute of arab and islamic studies at the university of exeter says egypt just want an accountable civilian leadership. the supreme council of the armed forces.

mismanaged the transitional process to a large degree the expectations on the egyptian streets where. they would be. that it would be to civilian elected civilian in six months and therefore once you have elected civilian rule the investments will come. back to normal there would be a total restructuring of the security services that acted in a very aggressive. way doing. all these expectations so that the economy the. better economy the dignity the freedom the bread the slogans all that evolution were not really accomplished by a year off the bit of aleutian many on the streets of egypt. the transitional did. leaders of the transitional period which is the supreme council of the all forces that's why there is the protest last friday and on the in your city of that

evolution was wanted a president and now an elected president now so that they can hold him accountable if you fail to the store back the egyptian economy and if you feel into the form of the security services iran says it will definitely stop oil exports to certain european countries excuse me the islamic republic's oil minister says they have yet to make a decision on cutting supplies to other states it is tehran's response to that use oil embargo that was set to come into force in july chris bambery from the international socialist group says there are also plenty of other reasons for tehran to try and retaliate. i think they're listening to what's the rhetoric from london paris and washington and understands that that rhetoric is being hyped up all the time that we've had claims this week the u.s. defense secretary that there was going to be in the rain in terror attacks inside the united states although he also said there was no evidence they could use the evidence for that today elsewhere in tel aviv i read

a supposedly respectful commentator saying the arenas had missiles which he could file could hit the united states of america that claim is just simply to force troops but we are seeing a ratcheting up of the right and tyranny and rhetoric in the west at the same time there really is going to be very very nervous about the american build up inside the gulf inside the persian gulf if you look at the map of iran it is surrounded by american military bases incidentally bases which are also aimed at russia and china so i think in some ways the pressure must be all inside the ryans i think we should bear we got a retaliation in force. and you can always have to our website r t dot com we have plenty of stories for you there online right now notorious hacktivists group anonymous finds out what the f.b.i. really thinks of them and they get their own back by the audio recording on my listen in to what was said at our website. and russia is over the moon as it

a kyrgyzstan now where the moderate indigenous a practice of islam is being threatened by more radical alternatives there are fears for the affect on everyday life in the central asian republic a land prone to instability after two revolutions in the last few years alone parties accountable because of the story. all. kneeling down but standing tall tens of thousands of cougars men praying at the country's central square just underneath the lenin monument even in this bastard years the communist ideology couldn't bring to the streets as many people as islam does nowadays. the fist of sacrifice is one of the most important rights for all muslims but you need to pray i kept my skin almost theological and lifestyle differences that exist among various branches of this one here in kurdistan over

the past day to this country has become a testing ground for islamic missionaries of all kinds some of whom have lost in common with each other than they do with christians or jews who just people converted to islam in the seventeenth century but they were never designed us about it mixed with germany's and the magic customs they could use a version of islam has long been morgan moral code then the religious doctrine is how cheap a society will women and just is that if ambitious as men and when religiosity it went hand in hand with good education but that is starting to change. after the collapse of the soviet union kurdistan has seen a very fast growth of islam some of it is the message driven poverty poor education corruption mistrust of authorities all of that is putting people towards religion but much of it is also driven from abroad with countries like pakistan your saudi arabia kuwait a very generous when it comes to building mosques here. islam is on the rise across

all of central asia but only in kurdistan have there the regions adopted and open door policy ideas where. the these are followers of the to believe. a group of islamic missionaries originated from pakistan. its members have come up in many terrorism investigations and as a result the group was labeled extremist by many european governments in kyrgyzstan that community is growing fast. people heart of fun happen. to be in accordance with his wishes and by teaching of us with. genders are becoming increasingly separated in public women and not left out in fact they're at the forefront of these lawmakers sturgeon's in kurdistan. all the more than half of students in this islamic academy

indigenous culture but the version that's being pushed on nowadays with his jobs and restrictions is not only foreign to us it's aggressive the countries authorities are not oblivious to the ongoing islamization and some suggest are even trying to harness said here could be stones top officials are praying along. the crowds they claim full religious freedom is the best strategy against radicalization. the results of the arab spring have shown that secular governments are cracking under the pressure political islam muslims are enormous human resource the one who knows how to manage these forces. and for kyrgyzstan which has seen two revolutions in five years there's hardly anything more pressing than finding an antidote against all hell breaking loose again so i'm going to artsy.
