the watching artie's weekly news if you're in the very latest about it and some carrie johnson welcome to the front. and china have given a note to the latest u.n. security council resolution on syria moscow has defended its move saying the draft fails to deliver a balanced approach to the un rest and favors extremist groups which could ignite even move on its debts as those who are behind the document now ganging up against the beattie states report 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 by the arab league 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 our law said that russia was urging the west to accommodate moscow's concerns to reach a compromise on this draft resolution china during the meeting that 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 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 to veto 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 of the draft resolution. adequately with the real situation in syria and . it's the co-sponsors of the resolution and would if that was taken into account of the syrian opposition they must distance itself from extremist groups committing violence. on state your ability to use their influence to prevent such. will have been taken into account that because of a. with was drawing the syrian forces from the. state institutions. the being schooled for affording more flexibility to get into media. states to increase the chances of

a successful political process russia'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 in syria the arab league has 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 dating that you know the united states is on the side of the syrian people that are opposing the syrian president and his government and he said quote the assad regime at the time has come for the assad regime 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 of calm but as of now the draft text proposed by the europeans by the arab league vetoed by russia and china. the western backed security council country working in the best interests of the people there. the libyan example hasn't been so long the claim to doing to stand by the libyan people that it turned out that they were supporting one. side that's what's actually aren't an armed rebellion 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 call so the. president assad lost to perceive but not a month ago. very important. that was done by.

foundation qatar foundation of getting the word cutter showed that the president has said the support of i mean almost fifty five percent of the syrians why are we ignoring this is the five percent and that is something that there 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 militias to prove that they want the welfare for syria. for more than two hundred people were reportedly killed by security forces in the syrian city of homs just ahead of the vote at the u.n. security council it's hard to verify that figure. put it around fifty times correspondent pepe escobar doubts the timing of these reports was a coincidence. the timing of this alleged massacre in the holds more than two hundred people killed just as do you when is scared to ring to vote

a result lucian more or less establishing what the arab league says is a roadmap for peace and syria is very suspect well coming back to what this resolution is all about it's so now alliance between nato basically led by washington on london and paris and the six persian gulf monarchies the gulf cooperation council there agenda from the beginning for months now is reaching change in syria no matter what they knew that they can never get the win that security council resolution authorizing and most lies only for syria for number of reasons first of all because up to a sub regime is not so bold bardi its own but with vision with meeks so this does not seem to do with the syrian peace process and all syrians themselves began being think specific look we don't trust this big silent council would like to organize

ourselves and will like to discuss with the go sit down with the government and discuss a route map for peace but between ourselves. doesn't dead and thousands injured the blood the off the mouth of three straight days of rioting and it all began after an outbreak of bodies have not yet this week. saying that seventy four people are correspondent for national has more from. the heart of. things have been extremely devastating and terribly kilty clearly these are the last few days and also very tragic the code so huge that massacre only one state when seventy four people died in the stump speech at one of the city's football stadiums has become by itself the deadliest incident since we bought a house that last february but it's also triggered a new wave of clashes between the police the army and defense reaches that have actually become something common seen here in the capital cairo and everywhere for all the egypt the fact these people have been very weak to use the import slaves

incident to use local forces especially the interior ministry of doing nothing of the allowing this to happen allowing these deaths over inefficiency and actually pulled over instigating these trailers in order to preserve the situation of instability in the country in order to eventually just to follow and somehow think through tearing through all the generals from the supreme council of the armed forces they took power from barak last february and since then demonstrations actually have never stole shortly after this happened on wednesday the whole school football fans have come to live bullets nothing to minister here in the central pa who just walked away from here seeking for justice and calling for the amy did transition of power from the ministry to civil to situations until early presidential elections and since then twelve people have been killed in the last full day seven twenty five hundred dollars have been injured who think that it's

a terrible dissolve so i have to say i hope you can see the pictures right now as you can imagine. while you assume the street is a narrow street this one the streets they didn't towards they built an old photo of the interior ministry here in hollywood the queen many many people there chanting and to miter slogans from time to time police has been firing tear gas at the. test isn't even showed so we've been able to speak to several people though let's listen to what they have to say about who is going and when it's going to stop people not just but that's the condition to teaching. because the good guys are unbelievably effects people people might die and then they suffocate each day to turn everything to their chinese them. not to lie to her and they don't she for. that the child is seventy seven year old china it's over here it's more than enough what they're doing to the protestors and that they're doing it to the woman to the country and

the children must do was you can see a situation is very volatile here in cairo and actually in several all the cities throughout egypt but we can also can talk now about several months as well the following points incident the figure is that the people from the administration all the students have been detained and they're in custody right now is that while the investigation is ongoing and also taking protesters to mons just recently this if you can call some of the armed forces advisory has also called for early presidential elections in the country. the institute of. university of exeter says egyptians are tired of waiting for accountable leadership . the supreme council of the armed forces has mismanaged the

transitional process to a large degree the expectations on the egyptian street it were rising because they thought that they would be transferred off power from that it could lead to civilian elected civilian in six months and therefore once you have elected civilian rule they investments will come to life the economic life will be back to normal there would be a formal restructuring of the security services that acted in a very aggressive and brutal way and cut off to a during 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 would not really accomplished by a year after that evolution that's why there is a protest last friday and on the new versity of that it was. wanted 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 fail to reform the security services. it without am still to come on the program.

very few people who would say as many horrible things are simple so i did some shopping by soldering beutel talk to the father of the poisoned f.s.b. officers examined and find out why he was a. responsible for his son's death. saturday it 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 according to their election was an opposition to that contains kind of the see the other pro-government gathering compared protests to orange revolution supporters of ukraine mr ski says any opposition candidates campaign could come undone in this social policies so i think the course was too late in coming

so we are seeing more or less usual suspects and even even if we take seriously proper up 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 reach and successful man we are not in america we are in russia and this is basically a social democratic country who has in store is social policy going to give support to so many people that's why so many people who together today to support i think that what is happening today is that there are so many people calling for sparrow actions my hope is that they will get the actions but i think that may be disappointed again because in cairo elections there is a fair chance that we can move. next hour we'll take a look at one of them that is designed to show transparency at next month's

elections but tens of thousands of webcams will be sold at all the pressures of polling stations and they don't president attempt to figure out the future to see for themselves to process what. iran will halt oil supplies to some european countries that's the warning from tehran's oil minister and move comes in response to ease any decision to impose sanctions on the islamic republic that due to come into force in june all right but that we can turn around north massive military exercises in the country south of the bottle oil into the strait the. tensions have been rising and its objection is that we're going to create operations against iran who some say but it's in the courts emerged on thursday that the u.s. defense secretary panetta said israel could strike iraq and snooze april u.s. radio host ralph schoenman says that washington is using the right here just war against terror on. this imperial with agenda which takes countries and syria

adam as their target now concentrating on iran expresses the permanent war that is waged against subject peoples by american corporate capitalism this united nations has forever been an instrument of such imperial policy first they attempt to cut off iran to your own trading capacity its ability to import replacement equipment for its refineries then they want to tie up its banking and to preclude people from it from trading with its banks then every company that is in fact engaged in trade with iran is subject the united states to penalty what do you think this is better than act of war. by the way to the program we hear from iran's interior minister about how his country is trying to limit the damage caused by western sanctions thinks that by imposing embargoes is only bringing problems upon itself we can watch the full interview next hour now here's a preview for you. i believe they've made

a big mistake as this action results in turbulence for the oil and energy markets this very fact it can result in oil price growth in these conditions the west should expect a drop in the euro rate and the euro market oil and energy markets will experience instability in 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 iran at all we've ensured our efficient planning in advance and with god's help we will continue moving forward. asia's leading economy china has promised to consider pumping its cash reserves into the euro zone to help with the blocs debt crisis the offer comes after a strong lobbying push on the part of the german chancellor during her three day trip to the asian nation. asked for help in sinking in battle the chinese counterpart promised to look into it she also pushed for beijing to cut its ties to

the e.u. is really showing it through to show him what it's all about it doesn't want to listen to the people they're talking about an intergovernmental agreement and this will go into primary e.u. law through secondary legislation which means that the people can be bypassed there will be referendums across the continent particularly in iowa where there should be a referendum on this and what will happen is they will bypass the people and it will go straight into review you know and they will get exactly what they want and it is a complete affront to democracy. for more details on everything we're covering can always be found online at r.t. dot com let's have a look at some of the stories waiting there right now an american inventor says isn't enough decades before romance between both books and humans become commonplace. and active protests sweeping across europe where the first group of polish of growth is the czar to suspend the online piracy legislation. occupy wall street protesters and us lost some ground this weekend as they were

he was dropping it is not being threatening it looks like a excessive use of force my sense is that it's not going to provoke the campers that there are more. discipline to fall for that. occupy movement in a few months. and show you american people that if they get mobilized and organized that we have power we can change the direction this country so the future's going to be an american spring that's going to explode out of the sea and become more important the presidential race in two thousand and twelve. now of other news headlines from around the well the south to the u.s. presidential race but in the public and front runner mitt romney has cruised to victory in nevada state caucuses home of governor of massachusetts gained over forty percent of the votes that he's made. behind just over a quarter leaving fellow kind of it's ron paul and rick santorum winning behind romney has already won in two states the latest in the process to think of the public and nominee this election. that's the australians have been

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 f.s.b. officer alexander litvinenko was poisoned in london he was taken care of by some very powerful patrons like self ixil tycoon boris berezovsky and ahmed zakayev and a tourist former chechen militant both hiding in the u.k. . three of them we brought. yet you get extremist young dorsett there and he's just give me a yes but here doris you would be. one vicariously namco sent a letter asking to be interviewed by russian television we expected more of the same but instead. we're going to. be made of each if you watching

this program please forgive me for all the slander the thai 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 short of 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 alexander litvinenko was receiving a retainer of around two thousand pounds a month from the british security services at the time he was murdered at first by turnitin and co like many others claimed his son had been poisoned with polonium to tan 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 kissing the russian government today by their at me it's he was saying only what the west wanted to hear. of course i realize russia's f.s.b. and the 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 viper and 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 all the while there are very few people who would say as many horrible things about as i did. you know living in two thousand and eight but

the only thing young call flat russia or sanctuary need to leave is settled in the sleeping quiet town of sinegal and it offered to new anonymous life the men claimed putin was his number one enemy so hiding in europe he believed was the only safe solution today by their lives when young co is still afraid to open this door not because of putin though but because of his landlord to whom he owes 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 furious her casket could be removed because he hasn't paid the cost of a barrel plot and it's been months since the electricity was shut off to his flat he was lost for two euros went on a gas canister and that is gone to. this is how my son of
