news in common coming to you live from the heart of mouth down karen taraji russia and china have given a firm no to the latest u.n. security council resolution on syria moscow has defended its move saying that the draft fails to deliver a balanced approach to the unrest and favors extremist groups which could ignite even more violence that says those who are behind the document are now ganging up against the veto states artie's marina portnoy reports 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 funimation 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 that is experiencing an internal conflict he believes that could create chaos in international affairs so as we see there was to veto 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 that you know the draft resolution put to the vote does not adequately would let the real situation in syria the concerns and. the co-sponsors of the resolution and would if there is taken into account of the syrian opposition they must distance itself from extremist groups committing violence and calls on states your ability to use their influence to prevent such. know will have owners will be taken into account that because of a. with was drawing the syrian forces from the cities. to attack. state institutions. nor has the being schooled for affording more flexibility to get into media outlets 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 hold 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 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. the editor ali mohamed told r.t. that he doesn't believe the western backers of a u.n. security council resolution on the country are working in the best interests of the people there. the libyan example hasn't been so long the league claim to do was 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 me go to each and for talks why not support this call so the means there so the president and i said let's just received word. not some months ago a. very important survey that was done by qatar foundation

cutter foundation repeating the words after the 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 the between the different parties in syria and i think it is up to the to those militias to prove that they want the welfare for syria. more than two hundred people were reportedly killed by security forces in the syrian city of homes just ahead of the vote at the u.n. security council it's hard to verify their figures some opposition groups put it around fifty asia 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 the when is gathering to vote a result lucia more or less establishing what the arab league says is

a road map for peace and syria is very suspect well coming back to what this resolution is all about it so now alliance between nato basically led by washington on loan down in paris and this six person go for one or two gulf cooperation council their agenda from the beginning for months now is reaching change in syria no matter what they knew that they couldn't never get the you win the security council resolution authorizing a no fly zone over syria for number of reasons first of all because that did assad regime is not so bold bardi its own population with makes so this has nothing to do with the syrian peace process and all syrians themselves began being very explicit look we don't trust this big sigh old council would like to organize ourselves and would like to discuss with a go sit down with the government and discuss a road map for peace but between ourselves and

a little later in the program we report on another target of western pressure iran is ready to cause chaos in world markets saying it will respond to a looming if you will boil in bargo by cutting off the supply before european countries have time to find alternatives. a dozen dead and thousands injured the bloody aftermath of a three straight days of rioting in egypt it all began after an outbreak of violence at a football match earlier this week and a so that claimed the lives of seventy four people our correspondent maria phenomena has more from talk where square the heart of egypt's revolutionary movement. things have been extremely devastating and terribly kilty clearly the shift in the last few days and also very tragic the food so the massacre only one state when seventy four people died in the system heat one of the city's football stadiums has become by itself the deadliest incident since the barak i'll sit last february but it's also triggered

a new wave of clashes between the police the army and demonstrators that have actually become something common seen here in the capital cairo and everywhere ralitsa egypt the fact is people have been very quick to excuse holding the incident to use local forces especially the interior ministry of doing nothing of the allowing this to happen allowing these deaths so we should see and actually. instigating these trials in order to preserve the situation of instability in the country in order to fit into existing following somehow. through terror and rule the generals from the supreme council of the armed forces they took power from mubarak last february and since then demonstrations actually have never told shortly after this happened on wednesday the public school football fans have come to leave but it's nothing to the minister here in the central pa who just walked away from here seeking for justice and calling for

a may did transition of power from the ministry to civil the situation is until early presidential elections and since then twelve people have been killed in the last full day seven twenty five on the dollar to mean 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 masuda street is a narrow street is one of the streets leading to the woods built in old 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. test isn't even showed so we've been able to speak to several people there let's listen to what they have to say about who was going when it's going to stop people not just because the conditions teaching. the kids to the students are unbelievably effects keep in mind that they suffocate each day to turn everything to their turn.

that's like the first. that the child is seventy seven year old china it's over here it's more than enough what they're doing to the criticism that they're doing to the to the country. must be. close you can see a situation is very volatile here in cairo and actually in several all the cities throughout egypt but you can also you can talk now about several months as well the following points to the incident. people from the administration all the students have been detained and they're in custody right now is that while the investigation is to go in also make photosystem ons just say simply this if you call some of the armed forces it flies read has also called for early presidential elections in the country. omar shore 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 streets where we're. told that they will be transferred all power from the military 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 would be a total restructuring of the security services that acted in a very aggressive to put off to a do it in the mubarak era and all these expectations of the economy the. better economy the dignity the freedom the bread the slogans of the revolution we're not really accomplished by a year after the revolution that's why there is a protest last friday and on the anniversary of that it was was. president now

an elected president now so that they can hold him accountable if you feel to be stored back the egyptian economy and if you feel to reform the security services. r.t. still to come on the program. there's very few people who would see as many horrible things about as i did spawn tsonga u. turn and we talked to the father of the boys and f.s.b. officer i think sound thinking go to find out why he's withdrawn his accusations about russia being 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 the capital saw both pro-government and opposition rallies all calling for a fair election some gather to oppose the bloody me to put in this candidacy compared his opponents to orange revolution supporters in the ukraine martin

mccauley an expert on russia at the university of london says the only hope the opposition has of winning is unite behind a single candidate. result of the election of course we are very very important because what these demonstrators want is if you like a clean election fraud and so on. and it's up to the authorities to ensure that there will be cameras and so on and therefore it's probably will be a very clearly election but what is important is that it seemed to be fair and that these people have no cause to claim that the election on the fourth of march with a reputed wins of the first round of that has to be seen to be fair and to be clean otherwise would be tremendous protests on the level of the box the opposition will not come together they don't want to compromise they don't want to arrive at a single candidate the only way they're going to defeat. him on the fourth of march

is to a single candidate who is accepted by the whole opposition and there's no likelihood of this. already not he's a goner the governor is going to do will come up second as he always does then the divisions of the lives of our third or fourth and so on the meter are proper of who bring up the rest because he is there really only to appeal to the middle class suburban voters. iran will be halting oil supplies to some european countries that's the warning from attack iran's oil minister the move comes in response to the e.u.'s earlier decision to impose sanctions on the islamic republic that are to come into force in july at the weekend attack iran launched a massive military exercises in the country south near the vital oral route out the strait of hormuz tensions have been rising amid suggestions that a military operation against iran is an increasing possibility reports emerged on thursday that the u.s. defense secretary leon panetta said israel could strike iran as soon as april but
