champions of the. one single elimination game after another players of responded very very well eli manning has been in the shadow of his older brother peyton his entire career despite both quarterbacks having one super bowl title apiece the family landscape could shift dramatically if you i was the second a great redemption story to little brothers worldwide in the making as for sunday's game plans the giants will likely bet on their defensive line to wreak havoc and force brady to rushes through the make poor decisions that front for attack proved the winning strategy four years ago and was also effective when the giants beat their upcoming opponents in the regular season. the patriots do feature one of the league's best often though and battles in the trenches could be the match ups to watch new york receivers a key mix mario manningham and victor cruz also figure to give the patriots shaky

pass defense a major fear it's the top story out of the patriots camp is the status of one of their top play makers rob grant koski the record setting tight end has been nursing an ankle injury and a less than fully grown koski would mean enormous relief for the giants so far linebackers and defensive backs so a grudge rematch for the ages with several legacies a stake in the forty six edition of america's biggest day gorske r t. ten should be quite a night ahead there let's move to football action continues in the english premier league this evening the undoubted time of the evening occurring at stamford bridge where chelsea champions manchester united not just pride at stake in this win for united on their back side cross-town rivals man city of the table top while chelsea currently sitting full fifteen points off the summit really can't afford to lose if they want to remain in the title hunt at all. points with chelsea if they manage to

knew you don't know i'm sorry welcome to the big picture. stalemate at the u.n. russia and china rebuffed western backed draft resolution on syria with moscow saying its fake wording leave the door open for foreign military intervention. dropped by returns on the west a dozen dead and thousands wounded in egypt as protesters attempt to loosen it but it traces iron grip on power. in russia hundreds of thousands gathered for a rival baddies ahead of next month's presidential vote the massive crowd went into government marches. us for the sickout down of the occupy movement to a tent city in central washington is and they just to be a big. it can thing that was brought in.

you're watching at his weekly news if you want a very latest developments on kerry johnston russia and china have given a firm no to the latest u.n. security council resolution on syria has defended its move saying the draft fails to deliver a balanced approach to the unrest in favors extremist groups which could ignite even more violence that says those who are behind the document and now ganging up against the veto states parties were apart not reports now 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 up by the arab league and 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 those amendments were not excessive and mr are a lot of said that russia was urging the west to accommodate moscow's concerns to reach a compromise on this draft resolution china said during the meeting that it supported russia's amendments and said for the council to approach a vote knowing there was a divide it did not help maintain the unity 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 two vetoes 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 imbalances 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 why do you work in the security council has not yet reached its conclusion that you know the draft resolution put to the vote does not adequately whistler's the real situation in syria and send. the co-sponsors of the resolution of no signal would if there is that i'm not taking into account the syrian opposition they must distance itself from extremist groups committing violence. on states your ability to use their influence to prevent such. no have taken into account that along with his drawing the syrian forces from the cities should be a means to attack the group's own state institutions. nor has the being support for affording more flexibility to get into media release states to increase the chances of a successful political process with the russian delegation was forced to vote against

this draft resolution we seriously regret this outcome. bush's foreign minister is scheduled to visit damascus on tuesday to meet with syrian president bashar al assad this is a move. to to hopefully reach some type of peaceful approach or solution to the conflict still waging on syria the arab league is also addressed the media at the security council at the stakeout saying that they are extremely disappointed. over today's outcome 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 his own before the meeting began that evening that you know the united states is on the side of the syrian people that are posing the syrian president and his government and he said quote the assad regime at the time has

come for the reason assad regime and to change clearly the united states is pushing for regime change this is a sticking point this is something that russia does not support so we'll see what takes place in the days and weeks to come but as of now the draft text proposed by the europeans by the arab league vetoed by russia and china. told me that he doesn't believe the western backed u.n. security council resolution in the country working in the best interests of the people there. but the libyan example hasn't been so long the league claim to stand by the libyan people that it turned out that they were supporting one. side that was actually armed and under a billion against the rest of the people and the same is happening in syria. this question is a very important one so there is a call for negotiations for talks why not support this called you know the clean

their president and i said lost legitimacy but not a month ago or a very important survey that was done by qatar foundation qatar foundation of getting the word cutter to show that the president has the support of i mean almost fifty five percent of the syrians why are we ignoring this fifty five percent and that is something that can solve the problem initiated by the russian government still holds talks between between the different ideas in syria and i think it is up to the to those measures to prove that they want the welfare for syrian. opposition activists claimed over two hundred people were killed in the syrian city of homs just ahead of the un security council they said times correspondent pepe escobar questions the accuracy of those reports and that's the timing was a coincidence. but the timing of this alleged massacre in the home more than two

hundred people killed just as the when is gathering to vote. more or less establishing what the arab league says is a roadmap for peace in syria is very suspect well coming back to what this resolution is all about it's an alliance between nato basically led by washington and london and paris and this six person gulf monarchies the gulf cooperation council dare genda from the beginning for months now days ridging change in syria no matter what they knew that they couldn't never get the u.n. security council resolution authorizing a no fly zone over syria for a number of reasons first of all because that did assad regime is not a bold bardi its own population with makes so this has nothing to do with the syrian peace process and all syrians themselves big have been very explicit look we don't trust this big style council would like to organize ourselves and will like

to discuss where they go sit down with the go and discuss a roadmap for peace but between ourselves. well that's later in the program we report on another target of western pressure iran is ready to call world markets saying correspondent are doing all about it by cutting off the supply for european countries time to find alternatives. the same time the german chancellor wraps up being for china and iran a trip to support. a dozen dead and thousands injured but the aftermath of three straight days of rioting in egypt though began off an outbreak of violence at a football match at it this week that train the dives of seventy four people a correspondent for national has more now from car it's an early morning here in the egyptian capital and at this time the few square that i hope you can see behind me may look calm and peaceful but these few last days have been absolutely chaotic

and devastating. and also tragic as far as the egyptian authorities are reporting since a massacre when seventy four people died in. one of the city's post headings twelve of the people have been killed in the balls that followed and twenty five hundred others have been injured it's worse to point out that since mass protests took first took to the streets of the capital cairo last january. people actually have been on the streets literally all the time protesting and demonstrating against military rule. these poor incident this massacre has triggered a new wave a new wave of clashes and ballance and people have been actually very quick to condemn this to accuse the interior ministry over egypt over allowing this to

happen over and efficiency and actually sometimes even instigating these fires in order to preserve this instability in. so the two eventually just to follow the authoritarian ruling here in the country hard core football fans known as old choice that have always been. full front of the uprising against mubarak have come right after this happened he'd have come to the building of the interior ministry here in the central cairo just some blocks away from here calling for justice for the immediate transition of the power from the military to civil institutions and for. actually presidential elections and since in the last four days the standoff between police and protesters has never actually stalled it's still continuing right. at this very moment actually we've been there it's a complete disaster i hope you can see the pictures right now it's

a narrow street. street one of the streets that lead into the woods the building over the interior ministry the realm of people the chanting alatri and ministry slogans from time to time police firing tear gas at protesters so it's complete disaster let's listen to people there have been saying people are just protesting in this. because the figures are unbelievable in fact people eat my find him thinking each the children everything today in china. not in my car and. that the chinese the seventy seven year old china it's over here it's more than enough what they're doing to the protesters in the doing today with the country and it must be so as you can see station is very tense it's very complicated here in cairo but there wars is that we can expect as collations even further. offshore

from the institute of arab and islamic studies at the university of exeter says egyptians are tired of waiting for accountable leadership. supreme council of the armed forces has mismanaged the transitional process to a large degree the expectations on the egyptian street where they thought that they would be. power from italy to civilian elected civilian in six months and therefore once you have elected civilian rule the investments will come to life the economic life will be back to normal there will be a formal restructuring of the security services that acted in a very aggressive in. the mubarak era and all these expectations so the economy to enhance a better economy the dignity the freedom the bread the slogans of that evolution were not really accomplished by a year after that evolution that's why there is a protest last friday and on the anniversary of that it was. a president now

an elected president now so that they can hold him accountable if you fail to be stored back the egyptian economy and if you fear to reform the security services. you know with r.t. and still to come on the program. there are very key people who would say as many horrible things. as i did. you tell the father of the. exam to find out why he's withdrawn his accusations about the responsible for his son's death. saturday was a day of demonstrations across russia hundreds of thousands gathered in moscow st petersburg and elsewhere to voice their political views ahead of next month's presidential election two rallies took place in the capital both calling for their election one was in opposition to that in a kind of the scene the other pro-government gathering compared protestors to

orange revolution supporters of ukraine but journalist. says any opposition candidates campaign could come undone their social policies i think the dark horse 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. in a category that is not loved in russia rich and successful man we are not in america and we will show this basically a social democratic country who has in store social policy able to 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 people fair elections my hope is that they will get the fair elections but i think that may be

disappointed again because incur actions there is a fair chance that we can move. next hour we take a look at one of the measures designed to ensure transparency at next month's elections tens of thousands of when cameras will be installed at one of russia's polling stations and unprecedented attempt to give everyone the opportunity to see for themselves venting process with. iran will halt oil supplies to some european countries as time runs on a step move comes in response to the ease and a decision to impose sanctions on the islamic republic to come into force if you don't like it we can turn around with massive military exercises in the country south well into the strait of hormuz tensions have been rising and suggestions and manipulation against iran possibility of course emerged on thursday that u.s. defense secretary panetta said israel could strike iran and you know april may june

to write tell the center for research on the lines nation. votes says the latest development and the u.s. and its allies determined to stop. what. it is is a buildup. also. confrontation. goes to. zero zero zero zero military and i should mention that we have a massive. u.s. military troops going into israel. you know naval forces go in the arabian sea. you know what we're going states was. getting its allies some kind of a green light which will give. well later in the program we know we hear from

iran's interior minister about how his country is trying to limit the damage caused by western sanctions he thinks that by imposing bugbears that he was only been problems by itself we can watch the full interview next hour but here's a pretty. i believe they've made a big mistake as this action results in turbulence for the oil and energy markets this very factor can result in oil price growth in these conditions the west should expect the drop in the euro rate and the euro market oil and energy markets will experience instability and turmoil and this factor can boost prices for oil and energy products and jeopardize the market security at the same time we're not worried for around at all we've ensured our efficient planning in advance and with god's help we will continue moving forward. the top economy china has promised to consider pumping its cash reserves into the euro zone to help with the box.
