kerry threw the referendum on the constitution now that is slated to come to come around sometime in march and if their friend and goes through as expected this may mean the end of the monopoly of the current ruling party another note for the moment is the fact that the syrian opposition which here there which until now has been unwilling to to go to any negotiations with the current government in syria has said that they are willing to talk but they have said that russia must provide the roadmap for those negotiations and that they must go beyond just the talking that some actions should be taking place now syrian president assad has also said that he is hoping that he that he is actually he was once the observers from the league of the arab states to stay in the country and of course russia has also mentioned that the peace process in the country must go through according to the plan laid out by the league of the arab states known to listen to the russian

foreign minister to give up on as a result of his the visit to syria or approaches based on a clear and simple goal to stop civilian deaths the region needs peace syria needs peace it is clear that efforts to end the violence need to go along with the start of a meaningful dialogue between all political sides today we've received confirmation from the syrian president of his readiness to participate in that process we will continue to work with various opposition groups but anyone who has more influence on them than russia should also work with them well of course there is also the west which has continued which continues to watch syria very closely and they are not showing any interest it does not look that is that there's showing any interest in stopping the violence in the country right now various western states have pulled out or have closed down their embassies in syria of course the united states the united kingdom being just down there also the gulf states which have not all its. just pulled out their ambassadors from syria but have also sent out this

syrian ambassador to their country thereby basically stopping all diplomatic relations with the country also the white house has mentioned to us to negotiate with hamas that is to is basically a way to fail or the state department has made it obvious that they're not going to . make any any a benevolent gestures to just use towards the current syrian regime and they have also said they're not supplying. weapons or any help to the rebels which are also which are fighting this and the government forces right now but they have said that that option is not off the table also the united states have also promised that the will supply humanitarian aid to the rebels there but what kind of aid exactly we're talking about is you have unclear. are reporting there and in the light of recent u.n. security council fallouts r.t.

spoke to russia's ambassador to the body and he says that piling pressure all only on the us of regime gives unilateral advantages to the rebels who are also to blame for inciting violence in syria. the latest round of military confrontation in syria started a couple of days before that resolution draft resolution was put to vote and the reason i'm here i'm trying not trying to justify anybody but simply trying to be analytical is that as the monitoring mission of that i believe was there and that as the situation was evolving everybody saw that the government troops were pulling out of certain towns or certain quarters and in cities that territory was taken over by armed rebel groups and that would mean that the the armed confrontation will continue and escalate and that was the reason for which were brought our amendments to the text of the draft resolution which would not only require the government to pull out its forces from from the cities but would also

would also require the opposition forces to show restraint and not to exercise their military coup out every conflict. needs to be resolved through negotiations there are two ways really in my view one is a frontal attack against the regime something which i'm afraid has been happening lately including from some international important international players the advocates of regime change there been trying to. resolve the crisis through from toppling the current government in the mosque but this is this would mean bloodshed and civil conflict and. conflict which would be spreading beyond the borders of syria but the other the more rational way the only way which the international community should be supporting is. trying to put the parties to the table to bring them to the table and to arrange a dialogue among them in order to find

a political solution with all for the bloodshed. the president of the arab lawyers association says the reluctance of some states to support moscow's mediation efforts is nothing out of the ordinary he says it's simply a case of history repeating itself this is very clearly an attempt by the west to thwart any effort of settlement because i don't think the western powers whether it's the u.k. u.s. france or the europeans and certainly the other countries the gulf countries really playing according to the rules that are being laid down to them by the americans they are the people who are trying to avoid any possibility we've seen this before in the. other when the west were supporting the opposition and they were arming. anybody who wanted to have a dialogue with the government regardless of whether they were liked on not they were accused of being. stooges of the government or their agents of the government

but they are not the path between now and this is that they are doing now at the present moment i think in terms of the opposition in syria and i fear that this is really why of the russians are trying to get the opposition to talk to the government because that's the only way you can resolve the problem i think they will stop those people from even the opposition from discussing with the government sitting with them and this is really where they've done the same thing in libya where civilian and peaceful protests were converted into an armed conflict so that it gives the pretext for the west to intervene. and still to come in the program the greek economy goes on say fresh clashes erupt in athens as the austerity ravaged public rails against what they see as a fire sale of the nation's future. frozen to death by eating cold has

the way your case is going to you can take his or broads to florence and decisions made in stroudsburg could rule any may taya the european court of human rights was set up after world war two to avoid the persecution of minorities by the state but now it's being de railed that it was never never anticipated off the second world war of the holocaust off the terrace perpetrated by certain tyrannical governments but the court now would be protecting the criminal and not the victims delays in control of a sea have the european courts in stroudsburg there's a backlog of up to eighty years and when cases all decided judgment so often bizarre. in two thousand and ten the court decided to give prisoners the right to vote after a petition by john hirst who spent much of his life behind bars after killing his
