twenty minutes time. thanks for being with us seven o'clock here in moscow on charon taraji the u.n. general assembly has adopted a non-binding resolution that piles more pressure on syrian president assad to step down russia was among twelve states who voted against saying the draft fails to address the armed opposition moscow maintains the conflict should be solved by the syrian people without foreign pressure parties marina has more from new york. this is very much a symbolic kind of message on the part of the international stage because you have an overwhelming majority of the u.n. members in the general assembly supporting a resolution that essentially endorses the arab league plan which calls for syrian president bashar al assad to step down it also condemns syrian authorities for

violating human rights fundamental re our freedoms and using force against civilians it also calls for u.n. secretary general ban ki-moon to appoint an envoy to syria this text of resolution condemns syrian authorities that the reason for all countries did not support this resolution is because they argue it's on balance most of those now would because you know order to resolve the syrian crisis there's a need to uphold a principle which no one seems to object to the violence must be stopped by own side and this series solutions can only be found through an inclusive political led by the syrians themselves today's arab league draft resolution on the situation in the syrian arab republic does not meet these criteria to a large extent it reflects the worrying trend that causes concern to attempt to isolate the syrian leadership reject contact with it and impose an external formula

for a political settlement but. russia has in the past of course offered to facilitate a dialogue between the syrian officials and representatives of the opposition groups to host those negotiations in moscow but now where you see the majority of the international community standing behind a plan that calls for president assad to step down the opposition groups will most likely not be running to a negotiation table. weather reports of ongoing violence in syria both sides of the conflict accuse each other of committing crimes activists say syrian troops are intensively shelling rebel held neighborhoods while the government insists it's fighting an armed insurgency artie's maria financial reports from the syrian capital. damascus one day two funerals the men in both coffins were killed fallen victim to the ongoing crisis in syria but at the hands

all islamic leaders the word of truth may cost your life would be that you tried to defend your country or stop the violence or stop bloodshed you are not safe if you are saying the truth for money people pay the price for truth he was one of them in . malta for some a traitor for others an internet page of the opposition news network sharm gives a chilling picture of the hatreds driving conflict in syria. he was killed and his soul was sent to hell this is what he deserves and then people don't have political issues and on any side it is really a very deep crisis very very assertive and you will see me turn to a demonstration or a protest the that's exactly what happened at these funeral procession. those who gathered to pay tribute to. show dead during the current government protests have not only brought flowers and grief but also political slogans and

opposition a marble call from the syrian social club a pro-government group believes washington's realized it's actually fighting alongside a terrorist group. i never thought that the americans would want to publicly admit that our is actually operating in syria what we know for sure is that. clear involvement had started with dignity by amazon while hearing the head of al qaeda back in july calling for jihad in syria and nobody actually took notice that when the first suicide bombings in damascus took place there less than twenty four hours before that huge explosions. in iraq they carried the same fingerprint now the american position is very interesting it just says that her hang on a minute this is a an enemy that we want to fight and suddenly they're operating in the same theater that we're trying to overthrow this government and perhaps it may signify the americans are trying to understand what the syrian president had said previously

that there might be tens of landslides in the in the region if they keep pressuring the syrian government i would say let the syrians sort this thing ourselves and do not interfere with us the more you interfere with us the longer this takes on and the more bloodshed we will be seeing. while the international pressure on syria grows in force it's over for libya as the country marks a year since the revolt against the gadhafi regime celebrations are tainted by ongoing gunfire on the streets and amid claims of torture. also harsh rhetoric from the israeli government towards iran fails to convince many in israel that tech chrono is indeed the main threat. greece is edging closer to its second bailout as the german chancellor is said to be optimistic the deal could be reached next week angela merkel and leaders of italy and greece held a conference call ahead of monday's eurozone summit greek officials have already signed off on the creditors earlier conditions which include major budgets and job
