tell me about the u.n. russia and china rebuffed the western backdraft resolution on syria with moscow saying it surveyed wording leaves the door open for foreign military intervention. by return to on russia a dozen dead and thousands of egypt as protesters attempt to loosen the military's iron grip on power. in russia hundreds of thousands gather for rival rallies ahead of next month's presidential vote with massive pro and anti-government markets. but u.s. police clamp down on the occupy movement a tent city in central washington is the latest to be evicted after a camping ban was brought and.

news in common coming to you live from the heart of moscow on charon terra 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's as 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 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 r. lover 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 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 that you know the draft resolution does not adequately with the real situation in syria and. the co-sponsors of the resolution and looting of taking into account the syrian opposition they must distance itself from extremist groups committing violence. on stage your ability to use their influence to prevent such. will have taken into account that because of a. with was drawing the syrian forces from the city has its. own state institutions . nor has the being schooled for affording more flexibility to get into. states to increase the chances of a successful. purchase 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 the time has come for the result 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 to come but as of now the draft text proposed by the europeans by the arab league vetoed by russia and china sir richard brown 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 claimed to do or to stand by the libyan people that it turned out that they were supporting one. side that was actually armed and hundred 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 legal cheech and for talks why not support this call so the clean president and i said last a ship in the sea but. not some months ago. very important survey that was done by qatar foundation qatar foundation of repeating the words cutter showed

that the president doesn't seem to support over 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 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 and london and paris and this six persian gulf monarchies of the gulf cooperation council dare genda from the beginning for months now is reaching change in syria no matter what they knew that they couldn't never get that you win that security council resolution authorizing a no fly zone over syria for number of reasons first of all because it 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 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 the go sit down with the go and discuss a roadmap 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 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 financial has more from talk where square the heart of egypt's revolutionary movement things have been extremely devastating and terribly guilty communities in the last few days and also very tragic they could see. 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 we bought a house it 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 and everywhere ralitsa egypt the fact is people have been very weak to use bolivian port saïd 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 over instigating these trials in order to preserve the situation of instability in the country in order to eventually just to follow and somehow think all through terror in the rule of the generals from the supreme council of the armed forces they took power from the barak last february and since then demonstrations actually have never stole shortly after this happened when state public school football fans have come to me but it's nothing to the 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 the situations 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 towards the built in old photo of the interior ministry here in hollywood the green many many people there chanting and to miter slogans from time to time police has been the firing tear gas at protest 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 is going on when it's going to. people are just protesting in addition to. the concert the students are unbelievably effect even people in my county in southeastern turkey teach the children everything to their

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 it will rise in the fall that they will be a transfer of power from 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 will be a formal restructuring of the security services that acted in a very aggressive. corrupt way during the mubarak era and all these expectations to the economy the. better economy the dignity the freedom the bread the slogans of the revolution 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 evolution was wanted

a president now an elected president now so that they can hold him accountable if you feel to be stored the egyptian economy and if you feel to reform the security services. r.t. still to come on the program. is 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 player election some gather to oppose a 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're 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 protest on the lip 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 cannot easily garner the common is going to do will come up second as he always does then the villagers of the lives of our third or fourth and so on the meter profit of would bring up the rest because he is there really only to appeal to the middle class urban voters. iran will be halting oil supplies to some european countries that's the warning from chad or 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 massive military exercises in the country south near the vital oil 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
